Chapter 323 Feng Qi Wu Tong is not a good singer!
Holding a concert?
Lin Zhixing, who was drinking coffee, was stunned when he heard Zhang Sihui suddenly ask this.
Singers who can hold concerts have debuted for at least a few years, right? I haven't even debuted for a year yet, isn't it a little too early to hold a concert now? "Hey... Sister Hui, isn't it a little too early to hold a concert now?"
Lin Zhixing put down his coffee and asked, thinking randomly in his mind. If he really held a concert as Zhang Sihui said, would he be able to fill the hall with audiences with his current popularity? Would it be so difficult to get a ticket? "It's getting late!"
Zhang Sihui smiled and shook her head, "You have so many works that you can't sing them all in one show!"
Lin Zhixing pursed his lips and said, "I still think it's a little early..."
"To tell you the truth, holding the concert was actually Cong Ge's idea."
Zhang Sihui stood up and refilled Lin Zhixing's coffee, and said frankly: "Brother Cong wants you to generate some revenue for the company, and a concert is undoubtedly the best way to do it."
Lin Zhixing smiled and asked in confusion: "Brother Cong thinks too highly of me, how much money can I make from a concert..."
“Concerts are the most profitable channel for singers!”
Zhang Sihui looked at Lin Zhixing, who was so unprofessional, and explained in detail: "Singers like Fang Shijie and Shang Shangqian can earn eight figures for a three-hour concert. They usually have 50 or even 100 shows in a tour. Shang Shangqian had 70 shows last year. You can imagine how much money he can make!"
"These top singers make money faster than first-tier actors by touring. They can earn as much as a movie star in a month by performing one show a week! Not only can they earn huge income, but they can also further consolidate their position in the music industry. For those singers with weaker streaming influence, holding concerts is also a great opportunity to showcase themselves and increase their popularity!"
So profitable?
Lin Zhixing couldn't believe his ears after hearing this.
No wonder the God of Songs likes to hold concerts so much. This is much more than the copyright fee of songs or the endorsement fee of brands!
"Sister Hui, if I hold a concert, how much money can I make from it?"
Lin Zhixing, who was excited, asked with a greedy look on his face.
"Well...your situation is quite special. Let me do the math for you!"
Zhang Sihui tapped her fingertips on the desk and calculated carefully, "Let's calculate based on a maximum total box office of 75 million! The stage, lighting, video, stage design, etc. will cost at least 20 million. Team partners, stylists, makeup artists, chorus groups, dance troupes, etc. will cost at least 10 million. All the staff will definitely be in the most expensive star-rated hotel, with catering standards, plus the venue fee will cost another 10 million. The fans' light sticks, raincoats and other props, security, fire protection, logistics, etc. will also cost 2 million. The company will take 13 million, leaving 20 million!"
"Of course, it's enough to pay a large amount of tax. You need to pay 45% of your income. You can earn about 10 million per game! Even if the seats are not full, you can still make several million per game!"
Can you make millions by singing for three hours?
Before Lin Zhixing knew the inside story of the concert, he didn't even dare to think about it.
"Of course, we need to analyze the specific situation."
Zhang Sihui continued to explain: "Another way of distribution is that the singer's concert appearance fee is fixed, and other expenses have nothing to do with the singer. For example, if you invite a top star to hold a concert for 10 million, it is 10 million, and the other expenses are the organizer's own. How much the singer can actually get depends on their own operation and the singer's team's own allocation."
"Brother Cong means that because he is not sure about your box office appeal, the money he gives you for a concert is fixed. If the attendance rate is 50%, it's three million. If the attendance rate is 70%, it's five million. If tickets are hard to come by, it's ten million!"
Oh my god! Ten million per show? Three shows and a nice house in Beijing?
Lin Zhixing stared at Zhang Sihui blankly, almost overwhelmed by the string of cold numbers.
“That’s right!”
Zhang Sihui suddenly remembered and said, "If you want to invite the two bands under your studio to accompany the concert, the company will not pay for this part of the remuneration!"
"good!"
Lin Zhixing nodded and said, "I'll think about it when I get back. I'll post a Weibo or something to ask fans indirectly if they're willing to come. It would be embarrassing if there's not much attendance."
"become!"
Zhang Sihui nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Cong's plan is to take advantage of your overwhelming popularity during the National Day holiday and realize it within a month. Of course, if you don't want to, he also respects your choice!"
This is so nice to hear!
"good!"
Lin Zhixing nodded in agreement.
…
…
Peking Konka Entertainment Radio.
In the recording hall.
Like the stage style of "A Date with Luyu", rock singer Wang Feng, dressed in leather jacket and leather pants, sat on the sofa and was interviewed by the female host.
Facing the camera, the female host smiled and said: "Hello everyone, welcome to the new episode of "Entertainment Early Knowledge". I am your host Bobo, and the guest next to me is the famous rock singer Wang Feng! Mr. Wang Feng, please say hello to everyone!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Feng!"
Wang Feng smiled and waved to the camera.
After a brief opening chat, the host Bobo brought the topic to the point, "Teacher Wang Feng, I heard that you are going to hold a concert soon, right?"
"Yes."
Wang Feng smiled and nodded, "I will start my national tour on the 28th of this month, and the first stop will be the Beijing Bird's Hole Stadium! You can grab tickets at 3 pm on the 15th of this month!"
The celebrity interview program "Entertainment Early Knowledge" often asks singers or actors some explosive questions. It is the highest-rated entertainment talk show in China.
In order to promote his concert and increase the attendance, Wang Feng specially came to participate in this promotional program.
"Okay, everyone remember, it's on the 15th of this month. If you like Teacher Wang Feng, don't miss it!"
After promoting him, the host Bobo glanced at the cue card and asked with a smile: "Teacher Wang Feng, you have been in the Chinese music scene for 25 years and have brought us countless classic works. As a senior in the music scene, how do you define a good singer?"
How to define a good singer? Number of awards? Album sales? Wang Feng thought for a moment and didn't want to talk about these. The purpose of this trip was to promote his concert.
After a moment's silence, he rolled his eyes and said, "A singer who can sell tickets is not necessarily a good singer, but a singer who can't sell tickets is definitely not a good singer. It's not worth it for the audience to buy a ticket for you for even 50 cents. What art, creation, and popularity are you still discussing here!"
“I think a singer who can sell tickets must be loved by the audience, which is one of the necessary conditions to define a good singer!”
After listening to the speech, the host Bobo nodded and asked, "You recently participated in China's largest music program "Loud Singing Voices". There are many young and outstanding singers in it. Do you think any of them meet the definition of a good singer?"
"this……"
Wang Feng looked at the host in front of him with anticipation. He could tell that she wanted to ask some hot topics. After all, only programs with hot topics can gain popularity and ratings.
Who is good and who is bad?
After a brief thought, Wang Feng decided to be impartial. "I think the young singers on the stage of "Loud and Bright Singing" are a little lacking. They need some awards like the Golden Melody Awards to prove it. And as I just said, the tickets must be sold and the audience is willing to spend money!"
Seeing that he didn't get any interesting points, the host Bobo asked again unsatisfiedly: "Among the young singers, what do you think of Fengqi Wutong? They are so popular now! I am their fan, and they meet my definition of a good singer."
Good fellow, you are digging into the graves of your ancestors? What do you mean you are their fan? Bullshit! They are the most popular on the Internet, you just want your show to have a high ratings and be on the hot search!
Wang Feng has been in the entertainment industry for many years and could see through the host's inner thoughts at a glance. He cursed her in his heart for giving him a difficult problem.
But looking at the situation, if I don’t say something, it will never end.
"They are excellent and are role models for young singers."
Wang Feng first gave a positive evaluation, then changed the subject and said: "But like I just said, they lack the recognition of professional awards, and they also lack the confirmation of their strength like concerts. High popularity on the Internet cannot prove anything, they still need to settle down."
Although I lost to them in the "Singing Around the World" program, I didn't actually lose completely.
First of all, I have won the Golden Melody Award.
Secondly, his concerts are very popular with audiences all over the country, with an attendance rate of 80% to 90%, which is considered an excellent level among singers.
Fengqi Wutong does not have these two items!
Wang Feng was praising, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to save face for himself.
Moreover, he believed that Feng Qi and Wu Tong, these two little brats, would not be able to slap him in the face for a long time.
"Uh-huh."
The host Bobo smiled and asked again: "Teacher Wang Feng, how far do you think Feng Qi Wu Tong can go on the stage of "Loud and Clear Singing Voices"?
“…”
Wang Feng's face changed, and he felt a little impatient with the sharp questions one after another. The questions were all directed at Feng Qi Wutong. If you didn't know, you would think they were here for an interview. They really have no limit to their pursuit of traffic.
"Around the quarterfinals!"
Wang Feng straightened his back, smiled, and said jokingly: "In front of them is the cornerstone of the glory of the Chinese music scene. It is quite difficult to cross it. We are just old, not dead. The champion will be born among us old guys!"
At this moment, the director who was watching the recorded program in the audience was editing the title of the company's marketing account on his mobile phone.
[Shocked!!! Feng Qi Wu Tong is not a good singer! ]
[Shock!!! The famous rock singer predicted that Fengqi Wutong will be eliminated in the quarterfinals, and the champion is an old guy! ]
…
…
The day of recording the fifth episode of "Loud Singing Voices".
It was seven o'clock in the evening, and there was still an hour before the game started.
Inside the singer's lounge.
"Hey man, Brother Lin, it seems like you've been dissed!"
When Dong Chen was taking a break and browsing Weibo, he was shocked to see the Weibo hot search list and immediately came to his side with his mobile phone in hand.
[Shocked!!! Feng Qi Wu Tong is not a good singer! ]
"Um?"
Lin Zhixing was stunned when he saw the title of the hot search list. He hadn’t offended anyone recently, so who was so boring?
The program "Entertainment Early Knowledge" is broadcast every Saturday at 6 pm. After the latest interview with Wang Feng was broadcast, it quickly topped the hot search list in less than an hour.
Lin Zhixing clicked on the video, glanced at the content, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Everyone has a threshold in their mind for the definition of a "good singer", but Lin Zhixing doesn't care about it and doesn't want to compete with others according to any rules or regulations.
The key point is "We are just old, not dead", this sentence is so funny, he seems to have included himself in it, has he forgotten the embarrassment in "Singing Around the World"? "Xiao Lin, you came so early today!"
Shen Fei came out of the dressing room and immediately greeted Lin Zhixing and his group with a smile.
"Hello, Sister Fei!"
"Why!"
After a brief greeting, Shen Fei gave Lin Zhixing a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Lin, the song 'Hello Tomorrow' that you sang for us is really great. It's like it was tailor-made for us. I feel so powerful now!"
"come on!"
Lin Zhixing smiled and gave a thumbs up, looking forward to their performance tonight.
…
Eight o'clock in the evening.
All the singers lined up and sat down in the order they had been seated last time.
"Comfortable!"
After Lin Youzhi was eliminated in the last episode, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge sat in the first row as they wished, becoming the singers at the top of the pyramid of this program.
Hopefully I can keep the title this time.
With a gesture from the on-site director, the live recording of the fifth episode of "Loud Singing Voices" officially began.
As the most popular music program in China, the first four episodes have repeatedly broken viewership records. After Lin Youzhi was eliminated in the last episode, it has frequently been on the hot search list. Countless long-awaited viewers rushed into the live broadcast room as soon as possible, and the barrage was boiling at this moment! "First, the sofa!"
"This episode should be an R&B battle between Feng Qi Wu Tong and Tao Ji! I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"
"'Loud and Clear Song' cannot exist without Oh Ye Ge, just like Lanzhou cannot exist without Ramen!"
Amidst the warm applause from the audience, CTS host Wang Bing, wearing a knee-length purple cheongsam, came to the center of the stage with smiling eyes and waving.
"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to the program "Loud and Clear Singing". I am tonight's host, Wang Bing..."
After the opening remarks, the five judges came on stage, and each judge's appearance drew cheers from the audience.
After the judges were seated, the host Wang Bing walked back to the center of the stage, pointed to the screen behind him and said with a smile: "I declare that the competition will start now. Who will be the first singer to appear? Everyone, please look at the big screen!"
The audience stared at the stage screen intently, full of anticipation for tonight's performance.
As the avatars of the forty-six contestants began to scroll rapidly, the atmosphere in the contestant seats gradually became tense, and everyone was afraid that the opening performance would not go well.
Ten seconds later, the scrolling speed slowed down and finally stopped, and the information of the first player to appear appeared.
[Hello tomorrow]
【Singing: Coffee Milk】
【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】
【Composition: Lin Zhixing】
【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】
When the song information came into view, the audience and contestants were excited.
