"Do you know how many people attend the world's largest concert?"
Let’s go back to when the [Crossing the Starry Sea] project was still in the preparation stage.
In a private conversation with Sheng Quan, Zhang Han, the general manager in charge of this future concert, looked like he was "on a pirate ship" with a wry smile.
In fact, when Xingmang hired her at a high price and told her that they hoped she could be in charge of a more difficult project, she still felt it was quite challenging.
The combination of holography and reality is an unprecedented experience. As a person who has reached the ceiling in her own industry, even if there is no sky-high salary from Xingmang, she is very willing to join this big project.
But wanting to do a challenging project and doing a project that sounds like a fantasy are two completely different things!
At the moment when she asked Sheng Quan the question, she was actually a little disappointed with the famous Mr. Sheng.
The reason why Zhang Han accepted Xingmang's invitation so quickly was not only because the salary was too high and she wanted to challenge herself, but also because she had a good impression of Sheng Quan.
This Mr. Sheng single-handedly changed the direction of the entire industry and even brought Chinese films to all parts of the world.
As a woman, it was hard for Zhang Han not to have a good impression of her.
When Sheng Quan told her that he hoped that the concert would have 10 million audience members, Mr. Sheng's lofty image instantly fell to that of "a stupid party A who dares to make random demands without knowing anything."
Does Mr. Sheng know how many people ten million are?
Do you know that at some large-scale concerts, tens of thousands of spectators are enough to make the venue busy and there will be various emergencies? The most important thing is, how to play it for 10 million people? Where can it be played so that they can see the performance on the stage? This is simply impossible to accomplish.
Zhang Han was devastated, but Sheng Quan, who was rudely addressed by her, remained calm. After she calmed down a little, the young Xingmang chairman said in a gentle tone: "I know that in 1998, Johnson held a free outdoor concert on the beach, and the audience was about four million in the end."
"I also understand your concerns. The more people there are at a large concert, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. In the past, there were often incidents of audience members fainting or even being trampled to death at concerts. This number of people is really unlikely. Even bringing it up would make people think that the top management of Xingmang is collectively crazy."
Zhang Han was obviously stunned: "You know? Then you still..."
Sheng Quan handed a document to Zhang Han. Her face, which seemed too young and pretty for her current status, had a calmness that was rare for someone of her age.
"These are some newly developed technologies. Combined with the existing holograms, these architectural designs, and new building materials, we can quickly build a building specifically for this concert with tens of millions of spectators."
"This building adopts a honeycomb structure. The concert will be held in the center of the honeycomb. With the help of holographic stereo technology, every audience member can see the best picture with their naked eyes."
"The highest security level will be used during all construction processes, and each area and room will be fully monitored to ensure that staff can quickly respond to emergencies. Of course, this will be a big project, but Xingmang has been preparing for this for a long time, and we are confident that we can do it well."
Zhang Han looked at the thick stack of documents in his hand.
Oftentimes, a project does not actually have that many information pages. After all, the senior management who need to view them do not have that much time to look at a bunch of tedious matters.
But this information book is really too thick. After flipping through two pages about the early preparation time, Zhang Han looked up in surprise and asked, "Director Sheng, you guys started preparing so early?"
She even found out that a year and a half ago, the security company under Xingmang had already started the [Concert Security Training], and the scale of it was obviously aimed at this concert.
"At this time, holographic technology hasn't been released yet, right?"
Even at that time, Xingmang had not yet become the leading company in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Sheng Quan smiled faintly. That’s right, she certainly wouldn’t fight an unprepared battle.
Every social animal who has experienced ups and downs in the workplace knows that the larger the project, the more likely it is to have problems. If you want to complete it safely, you can only make adequate preparations in advance.
For example, this concert was just an idea at the beginning. When Sheng Quan was planning it, he didn't know whether Ningzhou could really develop holographic technology, nor did he know whether this plan could be implemented.
Arranging it in advance meant investing a lot of money in advance, but she did it in the end.
As soon as Sheng Quan signed, all departments of the company got into action, and everyone in the branch office basically devoted their whole heart and soul to it.
Tianying was the most tired. Although a group of special effects artists tried to control themselves from staying up late to work overtime, their hair was becoming thinner and thinner. Of course, their efforts also paid off.
At this transition point when holographic entertainment is replacing the traditional entertainment world, they seized the opportunity and completed the transformation. Tianying, which was once a small company that was just a subsidiary of Xingmang when it first appeared, has now become a world-renowned special effects company.
Kanxing Technology, Xingmang Security, and even Polar, these subsidiaries have been working silently for this big project for a long time.
Looking at all of Shengquan’s industries, perhaps only the snail noodle food company has little sense of involvement.
Zhang Han looked through the information one by one, and the shock in his heart was beyond words: "So you have been preparing since that time."
There is no limit on manpower investment, financial investment, or time investment.
With such courage and decisiveness, Zhang Han finally understood why it took only a few years for Xingmang to become the top company in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
Sheng Quan was looking at him with a smile, and Zhang Han could feel that she was not worried that he would refuse to cooperate with Xingmang.
As it turned out, Zhang Han really would not refuse.
She often encounters employers who, for the sake of profit, insist on carrying out an unsafe plan even though they know that it may cause harm to the audience.
The thinking of capitalists is easy to understand. They don’t care whether their plans will pose a threat to the personal safety of others. Even if they do, they will just lose money.
But Sheng Quan, she is obviously the chairman of the largest entertainment company in the country and a typical rich person, but she has a somewhat "childish" side in this regard.
Sheng Quan was not the first employer she had met who attached great importance to audience safety, but he was definitely the one who attached the most importance to it and spent the most money on it.
But Zhang Han likes this kind of "childishness".
Before signing the contract, she asked, “But, you should know that no one has ever done this before with 10 million viewers.”
In other words, Xingmang can't even find a precedent to learn from.
"You have invested too much money to ensure safety. Even if the ticket price is high, it is highly likely that these investments will not be fully recovered. You can do it, but even if you do, Xingmang will still be at a loss."
This is a business that is totally losing money. Zhang Han doesn't understand why Sheng Quan does this.
"I know."
She saw Sheng Quan smiling again, but this time, his smile revealed a hint of ambition.
“It’s worth doing because no one has done it before.”
Sheng Quan was about to stand up at this moment, and the long-legged bodyguard behind her, who always had a low sense of presence but inexplicably had a threatening aura, put on her coat.
Before they parted, Zhang Han heard her say: "This way the whole world will know that Xing Mang has done what others cannot do."
“Only then will our starlight appear before the world.”
——At that time, Zhang Han was simply fascinated by Mr. Sheng, who had such huge ambitions.
Next, she put all her energy into this project, designing, preparing and perfecting it.
In fact, with the new building materials, the site does not need to be prepared very long in advance. Zhang Han is more concerned about how Mr. Sheng got this national-level new material.
She asked about it later, and Director Sheng replied that she knew some very talented scientific researchers, and they were all willing to give her the green light.
As for the country, she said she was not very clear, but the country seemed to have always been more tolerant of Xingmang and was willing to delegate power to Xingmang in many aspects.
Zhang Han thought about Xingmang's contribution to China. Just the entertainment output, the guide robot dog, the acceptance of veterans, the help of disabled people to find new jobs, Sheng Quan even went to the disaster relief site in person, plus the holographic movies and holographic games...
——Okay, this tolerance is very easy to understand.
But there are still things that Zhang Han cannot understand.
She had previously asked Director Sheng where the concert would be held, and Director Sheng’s answer was always “I’m still choosing, give me some time.”
After getting along with Sheng Quan, Zhang Han has been completely convinced by this employer who usually seems to be very idle but is actually familiar with all the big and small matters.
But!!! Director Sheng didn’t say anything either!
The so-called "selecting a venue" turned out to be selecting a "private island"!!
And the first choice is the largest private island in the world.
Then I thought about how I was urging Director Sheng to make a choice quickly...
Zhang Han: ...Help, is this the world of the rich? ? Of course, she didn't know that Sheng Quan himself was also immersed in the happiness of "I'm so good".
Sheng Quan's lottery opportunity, which she had been saving for a long time, was useless, mainly because she had not been sure what she wanted before.
Until recently, when Mr. Sheng attended an event abroad, he met a princess from country N, yes, a real princess.
Country N is not a big country, but it is a country after all, and the royal family has inherited a lot of assets. Princess Lina likes Xingmang's works very much, especially Huaqing.
So at that event, the two met and became friends, but they didn't keep in touch much.
It wasn't until Sheng Quan saw that Princess Lina's husband was planning to buy an island that she suddenly felt as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened.
yes!
As for the venue, it can be held on an island!
So Sheng Quan contacted Princess Lina and asked her what to pay attention to when purchasing the island.
The easy-going princess was very enthusiastic and immediately told Sheng Quan everything she knew. She also said that if she wanted to buy it, perhaps she could help by acting as a go-between.
So, one night after he had just finished eating half a watermelon, Sheng Quan took a bath, lit the incense, rubbed his hands, and started the lottery.
Her initial target was those medium-sized islands.
When the world's largest private island for sale appeared in the lottery system, Sheng Quan didn't even dare to think about it.
Its value is probably similar to selling it, Xingmang, and all its subsidiaries as a package, and then multiplying the proceeds by three, which would be almost enough to buy it.
Then, Sheng Quan hit the target.
At that time, Mr. Sheng almost thought he was dreaming.
It is indeed a lucky draw for half of my career! ! ! !
It's so exciting right from the start!!!
A few seconds later, a soft scream of "Ah ...
The bodyguards nearby wanted to rush over immediately, but fortunately they were stopped by Jiang Lu.
Because he had been with Sheng Quan for too long, Jiang Lu could tell what her mood was just by listening to her screams.
——Either you come across a couple you want to support, or you see a scene you like while reading a novel, or you hear shocking gossip while gossiping with others.
In short, just don't encounter any danger.
Afterwards, Sheng Quan had to say: Brother Jiang, you are reliable! Otherwise, if the bodyguards came in and saw her rolling around on the bed with a pillow in her arms and smiling like a fool, she would be really embarrassed.
Of course, Sheng Quan had no time to think about these things at that moment.
When she saw that the world's largest private island was in her possession, she knew clearly that it was no longer just a matter of Xingmang showing off to the world.
Her entire self is directly presented to the world.
When the lottery was drawn that night, 006 screamed along with everyone and then reported on his career.
[Host's current career level: 52%]
[Host's current career level: 53%]
[The host is currently...]
Ultimately, her career score rose by 58% that night.
Because of this incident, Director Sheng has been in a very agitated mood. The fact that the couple she was chasing broke up did not affect her mood. She just calmly found the producer, screenwriter, and director and asked if there could be a second season.
Of course, she will appear as an investor, and I just hope that her CPs can have a better ending in the second part.
After learning about the amount Sheng Quan intended to invest, the screenwriters and directors immediately said that this was no problem. Your CP has always been very sweet, and everyone was planning to have a second part hahahahahahaha.
Thinking that his CP would be sweet again in the next movie, Sheng Quan felt even better.
She decided to go and see her own island.
By the way, can she put a red flag on it this time? I have never bought an island before and have no experience. Let me give her a call and ask.
In the distant country N, Qiao had just returned from outside and happened to see his partner, Princess Lina, hanging up the phone in a daze.
"What's wrong, Lina? Who's calling?"
Princess Lina: "It's my friend, Sheng from China. She came to consult me about the island."
Qiao perked up when he heard this. He was very proud of the fact that he had recently purchased a medium-sized island. After all, islands are hard to buy now, and the bigger and more stable they are, the more expensive they are.
The islands are so expensive, it's really outrageous.
The average wealthy person basically doesn't have the ability to buy it.
His purchase of this island also indirectly proved his strength.
In fact, what Joe coveted most was the world's largest private island, Cara Island. Unfortunately, after taking a look at the price, he knew that he would never be able to buy it in his lifetime.
Fortunately, although he couldn't afford it, no one else could either! Thinking of this, Joe was still very happy.
As for Sheng, he had an impression that she was a young lady who seemed to get along well with Lina. As for her own achievements, Qiao had learned about them.
Although he is a newcomer in the business world, looking at the whole world, with so many powerful families passing down their wealth from generation to generation, Sheng's achievements can only be considered somewhat impressive.
Therefore, he spoke more casually.
"I remember that she had consulted before. How is it? Has she not made up her mind yet? I have made some information before. Let me look for it. You can send it to your friends, or you can invite her to our island party. Maybe she can feel more about the island."
All the novels you want to read are available for download at Tuoluo Pavilion: TUOLUOG.COM "No, she has already bought it. She wants to know if she can plant her country's flag on the island after purchasing it."
"She even invited us to her island."
Qiao was a little surprised: "She has already bought it? So quickly? Is it a small island? Small islands are not bad, but the safety is a little bit unsafe. If she invites you to play, you should check out the environment before deciding."
He didn't really want to quit his job and go to an island, but thinking of his partner, he added:
"If you really like her, I'll go with you, but can we not play for too long? I've been a little busy lately and haven't had much time for fun."
"So does the island she bought have a name? Or has it not been named yet?"
Princess Lina was still a little dazed. In fact, she had been in shock since she heard Sheng Quan say the name of the island they bought on the phone.
After a few seconds, she responded, "Sheng didn't buy a small island."
Qiao said, "Medium-sized? Then she is indeed very powerful."
Princess Lina: "She bought Kara Island."
Qiao: “…”
Joe: “???”
"Kara Island?!!!!"
He stood up in shock.
After a few seconds, he sat down in silence again.
In these few seconds, countless information flashed through Qiao's brain. Finally, he spoke again, but this time, his confidence was not very strong: "Well...she invited us...when is she going?"
"I guess I just have time to play for a long time recently."
