Chapter 24

Jiang Juyou thought her system should be a silent one. She didn’t say it was a tool that only issued tasks because she could sometimes hear some irritation in its few short words, just like her at work. The system

that had been silent for a long time suddenly appeared, and brought good news. Jiang Juyou suddenly felt that the world was more wonderful.

"What's going on today? It's all good news. Should I buy a lottery ticket later? What if I win?" Jiang Juyou loved to dream about winning the lottery since she was a child. Sometimes before going to bed, she would preset how much money she won, and then allocate how to spend the money.

But in fact, she has never bought a lottery ticket in her life, and she doesn't even know how to buy one.

Jiang Juyou, in a good mood, hummed a little song and walked back to her seat. She took out her phone and started to check the APP.

Four tasks were released at once before. Jiang Juyou originally thought that it would take a year and a half to complete. Now, all four tasks have been completed.

"Let me see..."

Jiang Juyou pointed at her phone and muttered, "Unlock new buildings... Meet the target! Meet the artist signing target! Meet the target of 10,000 users! Meet the target of 100 tickets!"

"Hahahahahahaha!" The excited Boss Jiang kicked his legs several times.

After completing the four tasks, Jiang Juyou finally reached Level.9 and had a lot more funds in her hands, but after laughing a few times, she couldn't laugh anymore. You know, she has to pay back all this money in the future.

The first repayment will be in July next year, so she must adjust the plan now and prepare to start making money.

She was about to say in the company's senior management group that she would have a meeting later, but suddenly she remembered that today was Saturday.

Jiang Juyou paused, "...Have I been assimilated by the capitalists so quickly?" She was actually wondering why she had two more days before the meeting.

Retracting her gaze, Jiang Juyou looked at her phone again.

The first few tasks were basically under her control, so she knew the progress of the tasks. The latter task related to tickets was managed by the performance department, and it didn't even need to go through her. She could just open the ticket purchase on the internal software.

Thinking of this, Jiang Juyou searched on Weibo and saw the sales instructions for the concert tickets.

"@Gai Lexi's Little World: [Ticket information for Li Nayou's 2nd tour 'Happiness' in Beijing]..."

"@Gai Lexi's Little World: [Ticket information for Cheng Zexin's 27th birthday meet-up]..."

Jiang Juyou looked at the time. The two were officially announced almost right after the contract was signed. Then they have been promoting the two performances on Weibo for more than a month, and tickets were only put on sale today.

This Weibo account even has its own fan group, mainly to answer questions for fans who don't know how to buy tickets. Jiang Juyou wanted to go in and take a look. Before going in, she confirmed that it was indeed her own account.

Because the ticket sales started at 11 o'clock, and the tickets were sold at the same time for two shows, the group was very lively at this moment.

“I got it! Holy crap! This is the first time in my life that I got concert tickets!”

“Where do I fill in my address? Urgent!”

“No need to fill in an address, it’s an electronic ticket, swipe your phone to enter, and you can pick up the paper ticket on site.”

“…It was unexpectedly easy to get.”

“That’s because you got it! I haven’t got one yet, I’m waiting for the second batch… It keeps refreshing, so nervous!”

“Ahhhhhhh I got it!”

“@Gailoshi’s Little World: Hello everyone, concerts hosted by Gailoshi can only be purchased with mobile phones, and you cannot log in multiple times with the same number. Your phone must be verified for entry, so please be sure to use the phone you used to purchase the ticket to scan the code for entry.”

“@Gai LexiLittleWorld: Hello everyone, tickets for concerts hosted by Gai Lexi will not be leaked and can only be purchased on the Gai LexiLittleWorld APP. Please identify them carefully to avoid being cheated.”

“@Gai LexiLittleWorld: Hello everyone, tickets for concerts hosted by Gai Lexi are prohibited from cheering with signs, taking photos or videotaping, fighting or making noise after the lights are turned off. Please abide by the rules of the venue. Violators will be asked to leave.”

The official account came out at the right time to post a few notes, and some fans’ comments directly posted the words. It was obvious that they had already understood the rules, but there were also newcomers who directly questioned them.

"I understand everything else, but why can't I take photos?"

"...Why do you think I'm going to the concert?"

"How can I record it if I'm not allowed to take photos?"

"Why are light signs prohibited? Are banners not allowed too?"

"But scalpers in my circle of friends are selling tickets for Na You's Beijing show."

"Damn it, I was wondering why I couldn't log in. It turns out I can only log in with a mobile phone."

The official account explained again one by one.

“@Gailexy: The copyright of the concert and birthday party videos belongs to Galexy, so filming is prohibited. An official DVD will be released on the APP one week after the concert and birthday party. The DVD price is included in the ticket price. Audiences who have purchased tickets can watch it directly. Audiences who have not purchased tickets need to pay to purchase the concert or birthday party DVD.”

“@Gailexy: The use of glowing cheering items other than cheering sticks will affect the viewing experience of other audience members at the venue, so their use is prohibited. Other non-glowing cheering items can be used normally. I hope you understand.”

“@Gailexy: Galexy has not cooperated with any sales organization or individual. All unofficial purchase channels are highly risky.”

“You’d better not give the ticket to scalpers.”

"The scalper in your circle of friends is not honest. The scalper in my circle of friends has refunded all the deposits he received, saying that the real-name system cannot be used."

"I went to ask, and it's true. The scalper said that there are only electronic tickets, and because the card and mobile phone are real-name, there are not many places on his side. If I want it, he will go to the scene and give me the mobile phone that snatched the ticket."

"He is really doing this to make money. I am crying."

"It's so funny. He went through so much trouble."

"Is there no way to ban the scalper's account? @Gai Lexi Xiao World"

"@Gai Lexi Xiao World: I'm very sorry, there is no way to identify it at the moment. We will improve it as soon as possible."

"Ahhh, I got it!!! I finally get to meet Cheng Zexin!"

"Your company is very popular recently. I see it on Douyin every day."

"Is there anyone who can accompany me on the journey from Chengdu to Beijing? I'm a girl too."

Jiang Juyou, who was peeping at the screen: "..."

She thought that the ticket purchase method she had set up could eliminate scalpers, but she didn't expect that scalpers would do anything to make money.

Jiang Juyou exited the group chat interface and refreshed it, and another message popped up.

"@Gai Lexi Small World: [Cheng Zexin X Gai Lexi Small World] My dear friends, the important day of the year is here [cute], how can such an important day be without souvenirs [scatter flowers]? Gai Lexi Small World and Cheng Zexin have launched birthday commemorative peripherals. Purchase address: First floor of Gai Lexi Small World venue, turn left after entering the building and walk to the end. Sales time: November 7 (the day of the concert) 11:00AM. Online sales address: APP Gai Lexi Small World. Sales time: November 14 00:00 ~ November 21 23:00"

The accompanying picture is a display of the peripherals.

The most eye-catching is the doll ranked in the C position. Cheng Zexin is famous for being the only artist in the entertainment industry who looks like a lamb. This time, a 19cm cotton doll was designed according to his image, but this cotton doll is double-sided. From the front, it looks like a little boy wearing a lamb hat and ranch overalls, sitting down, while from the back, it looks like a sitting lamb.

This exhibition also took photos of the cotton doll from various angles, and there was a small cartoon at the end. The content was that the little boy found that the lamb was lost and wanted to send it home, but because the boy was also a directionally challenged person, the two of them got lost in the mountains together and are now sitting on the mountain, waiting for someone to find them.

Other peripherals include cheering sticks exclusively for birthday parties, and some practical peripherals, such as power banks, fans, thermos cups, etc., all of which are also covered with pictures of little boys and lambs.

Maybe they discussed it with the fan club. Within a minute after it was posted, it was forwarded over a thousand times. It was obvious that the fans from the data group were here to collect data.

"Good news: there are peripherals this time! Bad news: I didn’t buy a ticket [smile]"

"So cute, so cute, so cute! You two wait, mommy will come to save you right away!"

"Now Cheng Zexin can no longer hide the fact that he is a road idiot."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha I have a ticket, I grabbed it!"

"No, the cotton doll is 87 yuan, are you risking your life by selling it so cheaply?" "

Cheering stick 17 yuan, power bank 47 yuan, thermos cup 37 yuan, key chain 7 yuan... Simai, what's wrong with you, are you sick?"

"Fuck, I just saw the prices now, are you crazy, Simai! Are you making any money by selling it so cheaply?"

"I really was PUAed by the entertainment industry. I actually thought it was so cheap. Whose peripherals sell it so cheaply?"

"Cotton Doll 87 is not cheap either, but since it is placed in the entertainment industry, the price is a bit too conscience."

"Brother Xin said that Gailexi is solely responsible and they set the price. I knew that Simai couldn't sell it so cheaply."

"Take the purchasing agent, private."

"The online one is actually a week late!"

"Sure enough, it's worthy of being the performance department I trust." Jiang Juyou said and turned on the computer again. She remembered that the performance department had sent a file on the internal software, saying how much money was estimated. Jiang Juyou was busy with a public matter at the time and didn't even bother to look at it. Later, she even forgot about it.

Jiang Juyou turned on the computer again and squeezed her head in front of the screen, looking carefully for the file that had been sent before.

"Found it!"

Guy Lexi is the organizer and contractor of this event.

The organizers of concerts in each city are different, and there are even multiple qualified companies in one city. Their responsibilities are mainly to manage everything outside the venue. The food, accommodation, transportation and personal safety of the artists and their teams are all the responsibility of the organizer. In addition, the organizer is responsible for applying for activities, selecting venues, selecting ticket prices, and selecting ticket purchase methods. If it is the organizer of a music festival, it may also be involved in the selection and invitation of artists.

Every time there is a high-priced scalper ticket, it is basically the organizer who sells the tickets. This involves the light and dark side of ticket purchase. Some organizers will give one-third of the tickets to other organizations and use this part of the tickets to make a profit first. As for how these tickets are sold and how they are priced, it has nothing to do with them.

The organizer is responsible for the affairs within the venue, organizing and contacting various studios, from stage equipment to stage construction, and even how to design the lighting, which are all the contractor's business. Some contractors will outsource, while others have their own team.

For example, Galenci has found an outsourced studio for lighting design, and the rest are all his own people.

The partners involved in concerts or other performances include producers, marketers, and sponsors.

The producer is basically the artist's company, and the marketer is determined by the artist's company. Basically, they will not change during the entire tour. The sponsor depends on the situation. The top sponsors basically remain unchanged throughout the tour. The others depend on the city and the artist. Some shows have sponsors, and some do not.

The revenue of a concert is related to the ticket price.

In the past, the revenue of an artist's concert was determined in advance and the amount was fixed. After the organizer paid, the remaining money from ticket sales was the organizer's profit from the concert, so the artist's remuneration can be reflected in the ticket price.

Most of them are still in this model now, but some artists will set up their own companies, have the qualifications to be organizers, and then appear as organizers during their own tours, so that all the revenue will go into the artist's pocket.

When Jiang Juyou was searching, she saw the three words "Li Nayou" and exclaimed, "Finally found it!"

She clicked on the file, scrolled down twice, and saw a table with the prices of each area written on it.

Jiang Juyou had set the price of concert tickets before, but because it was extremely unreasonable, she spent money to change it. This regional price map was given by the performance department. She looked at the numbers and found that she was too conscientious before.

Because the performance amount of the artist is fixed and it is the same in every city, the ticket price cannot be changed. Their company has even calculated the profits of the organizer. No wonder the ticket price is so high.

The backstage seats are divided into three areas, A, B, and C. Except for the last two rows in the three areas, which are 1099, the front ones are all 1399. The same is true for the stands, except for the last two rows which are priced at 599, the rest are priced at 899.

There are more than 2,700 seats in total, and the average price of a seat is 950 yuan. After a concert, he can earn more than 2.5 million yuan. Excluding the artist's remuneration, Galen can probably earn more than 1.6 million yuan from this concert.

Since it was Cheng Zexin's birthday party, the ticket price was not that high, but Gai Lexi could earn one million from it, but in addition to the ticket money, there were also peripheral benefits.

After reading the estimated benefits below, Jiang Juyu took a breath and said, "...Why should I be a trainee? I'd better go and take concerts. I can take them every day and make money every day."

Because she was too surprised, Jiang Juyu couldn't control the corners of her mouth and kept wanting to smile.

After thinking about it, Jiang Juyou stopped talking immediately, "No, you can't say that!" After the trainees come up, she will have a fixed income every month, which is much more stable!

Wait...

is she going downstairs to hold a meeting for the trainees?

Jiang Juyou looked at the time and found that it was almost twelve o'clock, "It's over, it's over, I'm late!"

Jiang Juyou: Who understands my family, I wish I could have a concert every day!
