Chapter 101 The Amazing Speed of Fans (Two in One)
The fourth day of vacation.
Liaocheng High-speed Railway Station.
In order to rehearse for their debut concert, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge were forced to take the high-speed train back home.
"The G1226 train is about to arrive at the station. Please wait outside the white safety line..."
“It’s a bit crowded on weekends.”
Lin Zhixing, who was standing at the end of the queue, looked at the dark carriages of the approaching train and suddenly felt that it was the right decision to buy a ticket before going home.
Song Ge was standing next to him, looking at the ticket in his hand, then at the bag of snacks in his pocket, and chuckled.
"Follow me closely!"
Lin Zhixing dragged the suitcase with his left hand, grabbed her hand with his right hand, and slowly moved forward.
"Yeah, okay."
Song Ge's body tensed up for a moment, but after feeling the warmth in his palm, she gradually relaxed.
As the team moved forward little by little, she saw the passengers getting off the bus looking at her and him as if they were a couple, and the curve of their lips, which were hidden by the masks, widened a little.
The two of them slowly squeezed onto the train and came to the double seat of 09DF.
"Go in and sit down. Give me your backpack."
"Oh, okay."
Song Ge felt very happy when he saw Lin Zhixing, who was adjusting the chair next to him after putting down his luggage.
I used to envy couples sitting together, talking and laughing while eating and drinking together. When I was riding in a car alone, I often sat alone with my knees against the suitcase, holding a backpack in my arms, and sitting all the way.
And now, she is experiencing what she once envied.
How can I not be happy!
The sky outside the window is especially blue! "Huh..."
Unlike Song Ge, Lin Zhixing, after adjusting his chair, did not have any pleasure like traveling. Instead, he leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and thought about work.
The tickets for the debut concert will be on sale at noon today. As the champion, I have 9,000 tickets. I don’t know if the tickets will be easy to sell. What if some of the tickets are not sold? Will the tickets be shared among the other three groups? I am just thinking about it...
【bite!】
[Detected that the host made the partner gain the "happy" emotion, "popular" proficiency increased by 2 points! ]
【Current: Popular B (27/50). 】
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Zhixing opened his eyes and looked into the eyes of Song Ge, who was turning the handle of the middle seat. He suddenly remembered something else, "Ge, did you practice the Mongolian I asked you to practice?"
Song Ge nodded and said, "I have practiced hard and can now sing it skillfully. I sang it to my grandma and she said it sounded very nice."
"That's good, that's good."
Lin Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that with her strong ability in learning languages, it would only take her practice to master the song.
The top four songs for the debut concert have been voted out, and he was very surprised that "Above the Moon", which he had not sung in its entirety, was ranked fourth.
The idea of releasing an album has always been in the plan, and each of the ten songs sung in "The Birth of a Group" is very important to me.
The fact that I didn’t sing the entire song “Above the Moon” is a knot in my heart.
At the beginning, time was too tight and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to learn well and that would have the opposite effect. My ability was also very poor, so I omitted a lot of rap lines. I've always wanted to make a complete version.
Later, the system rewarded me with a symphony version of "Above the Moon", and I wanted to promote this song even more, as the opportunity for this debut concert was very important.
I hope I can surprise the audience! "Why are you pulling it? Isn't it uncomfortable to put your arm on it?"
Lin Zhixing pointed to the middle seat handle.
"Um."
Song Ge looked away and nodded, "It feels a bit restrained."
"All right."
Lin Zhixing raised his hand to check the time, then patted his left shoulder, "It's still nearly four hours before we get off the bus. If you feel tired, just lean on my shoulder and do whatever makes you feel comfortable!"
"Uh-huh."
Song Ge nodded, then held his cheek with one hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Ten minutes later...
"Know and do."
Song Ge suddenly turned sideways, rubbed his eyes, and whispered, "I didn't get enough rest last night..."
Lin Zhixing looked at her with heavy eyelids, smiled, moved inside and raised his shoulders.
"Um."
Song Ge gently placed her hand on his shoulder, blinked her heavy eyelids quickly a few times, and then slowly closed them.
The train kept going south, kept going south.
Where each other couldn't see each other, the corners of their mouths curled up slightly.
…
…
Ten fifty-eight am.
Inside the office of the production team of "The Birth of a Group".
Ji Lei and several staff members were staring at the computer screen intently.
In two minutes, at eleven o'clock, the first wave of tickets for the debut concert will be released.
"Director Ji, how long do you think it will take for the first wave of tickets to sell out?"
"Um……"
Ji Lei stroked his chin, pondered for a moment and said, "That depends on the handsome man and pretty girl, and whether the fans of the Mulan brothers are supportive. My estimate is about half an hour to an hour."
"It's going to take that long?"
The staff member who asked curiously just now was surprised after hearing this.
The person next to him explained, "They are not celebrities. This time is normal. Director Ji estimated this time by taking into account the popularity of the show and the cheap ticket prices. How many celebrity concerts can't sell discounted tickets!"
"Some people just think it's fun to watch them sing, but they're not willing to spend money on them!"
"That makes sense."
Ji Lei raised his hand, signaling them to be quiet, and at the same time the minute hand of the wall clock pointed to the number 12.
One minute later.
Of the 2,000 tickets for Handsome Man and Pretty Woman, only about 1,500 were left.
Of the 3,000 tickets for Mulan Brothers, only about 2,400 were left.
Ji Lei and several staff members behind him were dumbfounded. This speed was beyond their expectations. At the current speed, all the items would be sold out in less than 20 minutes.
But as time went by, they became gradually disappointed.
Ten minutes later, there were less than 800 tickets left for "A Handsome Man and a Pretty Woman" and less than 1,300 tickets left for "Mulan Brothers". The speed dropped to dozens per minute.
Ji Lei looked away from the computer screen and lit a cigarette.
Now it is clear that at first some audiences were afraid that the tickets would sell out, so they waited on time to buy them. Later, they found that there was no need to fight for the tickets, so they just waited patiently for their idols to open the ticket sales, and naturally the speed slowed down.
“By the time the second wave arrives at 12 o’clock, it may not be sold out!”
"Yeah, but it's good that they're all sold out. I wonder which one will sell out first at 12 o'clock, Sunshine Boys or Phoenix Nest?"
"I think the Sunshine Boys' tickets sold out first. The female fans are too enthusiastic, and their voting base is even smaller."
"I think so too. Besides, Feng Qi Wu Tong has more middle-aged and elderly fans. They have to ask others to buy tickets online. The Sunshine Youth Band's tickets must have sold out first!"
Listening to the conversation between two staff members behind me.
Ji Lei took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled, and smiled.
You are thinking too superficially. Haven’t they brought us enough surprises?
…
…
"Oh my god, I've been fooled!"
"My 300 dollars!"
In a rental apartment, Xiao Song, a female fan of Fengqi Wutong, felt her blood pressure rise when she looked at the payment page.
The fans of Fengqi Wutong were just discussing about Zei Huan, saying that because the price is cheap, it is recommended to buy the tickets first, no matter whose they are, because it is easy to miss out if you are late.
But it turned out that it was not the case after buying the ticket. There was still time left after forty minutes. Xiao Song was very angry because he was deceived. He poked the screen with a pout.
[Xiao Song]: I believed your lies. These tickets are not popular at all. As a fan of Oh Yeah, wouldn’t I be cheating if I bought tickets for Handsome Man and Pretty Girl?
[Oh Yeah Brother’s True Fan]: Hahaha, luckily I didn’t check the group chat just now, otherwise I would have cheated too.
[Minnaur Chieftain]: I am a fan of Fengqi Wutong, but I bought tickets for Mulan Brothers and listened to them sing in another camp. I like this Minotaur feeling.
"Why!"
Xiao Song sighed lightly and put down his phone. The tickets had already been bought and he could only accept it.
…
…
11:58 am.
Ji Lei put down the lunch box in his hand and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
There are currently 150 tickets left for The Handsome Sibling and 300 tickets left for Mulan Brothers, and the second wave of tickets will be on sale soon.
I just made a bet with Xiao Wang and Xiao Li, two staff members who supported the Sunshine Boys Band and sold out their tickets first. Given the popularity of their two groups of fans, I guess the winner will be revealed soon.
three.
two.
one.
As the pointer turned, the ticket grabbing began.
Just one minute.
Sunshine Youth Group sold 2,000 tickets, while Fengqi Wutong sold 3,500 tickets...
"Fuck, what's this speed?"
Xiao Wang and Xiao Li looked at each other and felt disappointed. If they continued in this trend, they would lose.
Ji Lei was so excited that he slapped the table and said, "Look, this is what we call robbing tickets!"
Five minutes passed...
There are less than 2,000 tickets left for Sunshine Boys and 3,200 tickets left for Feng Qi Wu Tong.
Ji Lei stared at the screen, it was hard to tell who would win or lose at this moment.
Nine minutes have passed...
Feng Qi Wu Tong has 500 tickets left, and Sunshine Boys has 600 tickets left, achieving a speed reversal!
Seeing that there was no hope of reversal, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li touched the wallets in their pockets, feeling extremely painful. They decided to jointly invest to buy a pack of high-end cigarettes for Ji Lei.
Just after ten minutes, all the tickets for Feng Qi Wu Tong were sold out. Two minutes later, the tickets for Sunshine Youth League were also sold out. Soon after, the remaining tickets for Handsome Lang and Pretty Girl and Mulan Brothers were all sold out!
Ji Lei looked at the "four zeros" on the computer screen, grinning from ear to ear, and turned his head and said, "Just put the cigarettes on my desk tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned back and his eyes fell on the photo frame on the desk, which contained a photo of Lin Zhixing and Song Ge holding up the trophy.
“Miracles really happen to you!”
…
…
【Fengqi Wutong Fans Group】
[Minnataur Chieftain]: The competition for tickets this time was really fierce. The tickets for Fengqi Wutong were sold out in just ten minutes!
【Oh Yeah Brother True Fan】: I was glad I didn't check the group before, now I regret not checking the group just now, I am so tired that I didn't get the ticket! 【Like a Dream】: @Xiao Song, are you selling the ticket? I'll take it for 500! 【Bull Head Chief】: Don't sell it, if you want to watch their concert next time, you can't get this price down! "Hahaha!"
Xiao Song looked at the messages in the chat group, and the gloom just now disappeared. She put down her phone, smiled and slowly uttered two words.
"Oh yeah!"
…
…
"Brother Lin! I miss you so much!"
"Pigeon!"
“You guys really came to pick me up!”
As soon as Lin Zhixing and Song Ge got out of the station, they ran into Dong Chen and Ji Yu who came to pick them up.
Dong Chen gave Lin Zhixing a hug first, then took the suitcase and said, "You must keep your word. The station is not far from the hotel."
"Pigeon, what do you think this is?"
Ji Yu smiled and took out his cell phone from his pocket, found a screenshot and showed it to Song Ge.
"The Birth of a Group" Fengqi Wutong Special Zone..."
Song Ge read this, looked up and asked with a smile: "Have you two bought tickets for your debut concert?"
Ji Yu smiled and nodded, "Ah, is that enough?"
Dong Chen freed his hand and smiled as he put his arm around Lin Zhixing's shoulders. "Brother Lin, we bought it at the right time, fearing that we would miss out if we were late! Aren't you going to treat us to a meal?"
Lin Zhixing nodded. He had already planned to treat everyone before going home. "I'll treat you to a meal, of course. Let's celebrate the establishment of our studio!"
"Thank you, Brother Lin. You have no idea how popular you are. Nine thousand tickets were sold out in ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes?"
When Lin Zhixing heard this number, he found it a little unbelievable.
Dong Chen affirmed: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, check Weibo later!"
…
The four of them got in a taxi and were on their way to the restaurant.
Lin Zhixing curiously opened his Weibo and found that there were indeed many fans leaving messages for him.
"Oh yeah, I didn't get the ticket, I'm so sad, I've bought all the gear for the concert..."
"I didn't expect it to be sold out in ten minutes. I spent a thousand to buy a ticket from a scalper."
"I didn't get a ticket and I'm relatively poor, so I plan to listen to you sing outside the venue!"
"Plus one, I'll go listen outside too!"
After reading this comment, Lin Zhixing couldn't help but think of the Mayday concert, where too many fans failed to buy tickets and chose to listen outside the venue.
Ashin's shout directly interacted with the audience outside the venue, and the effect was shocking.
However, with his current number of fans, he simply cannot do this. But some audience members said they didn't have tickets but were willing to come outside the venue to listen, which made Lin Zhixing very happy.
expect!
…
…
Ticket sales on the evening.
Daxing Square Dance Activity Center.
"President, many of our old sisters didn't get tickets, so it might be difficult for us to sing together."
"It was noon when I was trying to buy the tickets, and the kids were all at work. I couldn't do anything even if I was anxious!"
President Chen Jinlan looked at the old sisters complaining to her, wanting to solve the problem but unable to do so because they all had scalped tickets and could not afford them.
The song "Above the Moon" was voted for by them. They had originally wanted to have a chorus of senior citizens, but seeing the current situation, the plan has been scrapped.
"See if this works!"
Chen Jinlan suddenly had an idea. "Old sisters who have tickets can go and watch as usual. Old sisters who don't have tickets, let's go to the outside of the Hong Kong Coliseum and listen to the accompaniment inside the stadium. How about we have a square dance with a thousand people?"
"This is a great idea, I agree!"
"I agree too. I don't even want to go in and listen to what you're saying!"
"Okay, it's decided then!"
An amazing interaction inside and outside the concert is about to take place! (End of this chapter)
