Chapter 707 Magic Begins, Loyal and Kind Cao
San Francisco, the scene of Cao Xuan's concert

Tom and Jerry's location is not particularly good, not too far from the stage, but it's a bit off.

No way, although Jerry is not short of money, he can't stand the lack of tickets. They were outside the venue just now, and scalpers came to them to buy tickets.

Both of them were dumbfounded, they always bought tickets from scalpers, why are they begging them to sell tickets today?

However, after wandering around the venue for a while, I probably understood that there are so many people who are short of tickets, and many people directly take out the green banknotes, as long as they have real tickets, they can directly trade them on the spot.

In this case, as long as the scalpers can grasp the time to collect the tickets, they will never throw them in their hands. As long as they change hands, they will make a profit, nothing more than a small amount.

After all, those who came to buy tickets outside the arena were basically prepared to be slaughtered, and they didn't want to make a trip in vain. As long as the price was not particularly outrageous, they would be ruthless.

The original price of the most common ticket for Cao Xuan's concert is about 120-140 US dollars, and the combined ticket and VIP are more expensive.

This kind of joint ticket is relatively common in the United States, and even in China. Basically, it is a special ticket that only needs to perform several local performances at one go.

For example, for Cao Xuan’s two concerts in San Francisco right now, he can issue a joint ticket. This kind of joint ticket can see two concerts. Fans commonly call it a two-day ticket, and the most consecutive concerts are three-day tickets and four-day tickets.

However, at this moment, the two of them suddenly widened their eyes in horror, and there were countless exclamations at the scene. It turned out that Cao Xuan who was on the stage stepped forward and suddenly jumped down from the high platform.

It is no exaggeration to say that the actual price of Cao Xuan is 20% or even more lower than what many people expected.

It's not that he can't afford the money, but what should he do after spending it? In the face of foreign debts and various living expenses, he really has no capital to squander.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, and they let out bursts of exclamations and screams, just as the crowd was clamoring to save people.

Of course, as one of the most popular divas in the United States, Taylor's concert ticket price is not low.

One of the few things Cao Xuan can do is to urge the ticketing platform to be fair and set the original ticket price to be more affordable.

Jerry's own capital and power are not enough to be compared with others, and it is easy to cause hostility if it becomes bigger.

The audience at the scene didn't know the twists and turns behind them. They waved and danced excitedly with Cao Xuan's singing. The 3-person audience was full of passion and joy.

But it doesn't mean that Cao Xuan's rock is unpopular, on the contrary, there are many people who like it.

As for negotiating with these scalpers and gangsters, it's just a dream, and it's useless to find foreign police, who knows that they don't pay any money...

Repeated several times, Cao Xuan raised his arm chicly, put the microphone near his mouth, and sang quickly with the rhythmic accompaniment of the band.

It also made many people very curious, how did the magic change just now?

And here is a trick, the 3D holographic projection is relatively easy to be recognized.

It's not that there were no such tricks at other singers' concerts before, but it's rare for Cao Xuan to play such a big one, but it shocked everyone just now.

But soon he extinguished this idea - the money is easy to earn, but it's hot!
With such a large profit, it is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary people to intervene. The background must be very complicated, including many local forces and big scalpers who specialize in this business.

Under all kinds of cover, coupled with the thrilling and exciting scenes, there is no room for people to think carefully and react.

So Cao Xuan could only reluctantly bear the title of "loyalty and kindness", compensating for the concert invitation, and reaping a wave of gratitude from the Dream Dragon Band.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, 3D holographic projection.

The profit here is really not small, and it is possible to earn tens of thousands of dollars if you can operate it, and it doesn't take much effort.

Tom didn't know that Jerry had already found him a way to support his family and satisfy his wishes. As a die-hard fan of Cao Xuan, after entering the concert, he focused more on the stage.

This kind of rock song can most provoke the atmosphere of the live lyrics, especially the climax of the chorus. When Cao Xuan roared loudly, the atmosphere of the scene was comparable to a volcano erupting.

When it was time for the concert to start, I saw a white light suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the stage, separated by thousands of spectators. Cao Xuan himself appeared on the high platform.

"First things first
initial initial

Cao Xuan's fans were ready to besiege the Magnum Band, angrily accusing the other party of plagiarism, but Cao Xuan came out to smooth things over and expressed his appreciation and encouragement to the Magnum Band, so the matter was settled.

Several people around heard his shouts and suddenly realized that "Now You See Me" is Cao Xuan's very successful movie in Hollywood.

Tom and Jerry were also waving excitedly, shouting slogans that made countless domestic fans laugh.

However, if there is a chance, it's just a few tickets, just to earn some pocket money, so that you won't be targeted, and you can get tickets to watch the concert.

......"

.........

Jerry bought a combined ticket, the price of which is much higher than two ordinary tickets, the cheapest one is 350 US dollars, and the one with a better location varies from 400 to 500 US dollars.

The smiles carried the confidence and gentleness they were familiar with, and the brows were bright: "Good evening, everyone."

It's a pity that the situation here is too complicated, Cao Xuan has long been out of sight, and only the people who eat melons are surprised and disgusted by the crazy ticket market.

Fortunately, Cao Xuan has prepared a lot of magic coordination and routines, so that he will not be out of skill in other games, and it is still a bit fresh to use it interspersed.

I am even more grateful to Jerry in my heart. If it wasn't for my good brother thinking about him, maybe he would have kept the regret of not seeing Cao Xuan's farewell concert.

The original price of the ticket in Jerry's hand was about 400 US dollars, and the ticket from the scalper was 800 US dollars without counter-offering.

If the singer is very popular and concert tickets are hard to find, then this kind of joint ticket will be even more sought-after.

As for VIP tickets, the profit is even greater. The ticket price base is here, and the room for increase is higher, and the target group is also willing to spend money. The money earned by a VIP ticket is worth a few or even a dozen ordinary tickets. and coupons.

The ingenious appearance of magic made the atmosphere of Cao Xuan's concert very enthusiastic from the very beginning.

As a super fan of Cao Xuan, he has watched "Now You See Me" countless times, and they immediately connected with each other.

The popularity of the singer is not popular, and the ticket sales are not good. This kind of joint ticket is to some extent a means of bundling sales at low prices.The price of a joint ticket is lower than that of two regular tickets.

Cao Xuan can't do anything about it. At home, he can still use various means to suppress the scalpers, and try his best to protect the interests of fans. If he can prevent counterfeit tickets abroad, he is already very powerful.

I heard that this is Cao Xuan's concert in America, and invited Magnum Band to be the guest performers for several performances.

But the concert is listening to songs after all, and the magic is just icing on the cake. After a lively interaction for a while, they finally got to the point.

This kind of ticket is definitely more expensive than ordinary tickets. As for how much it is more expensive, it depends on the specific situation.

Boss Cao has never been a good person. The reason why he is willing to help Menglong is because he himself copied other people's songs, and the style is of course similar.

Jerry is thinking about whether to make a guest appearance in the scalper business.

Although it is normal for music circles to run into trouble, Cao Xuan's songs are so famous and span a long time, it is really difficult for Magnum to clear up the suspicion of plagiarism.

Stealing people and money is like killing their parents. The law and order here in the United States is no joke. Although there is a high probability that no one will be killed, a beating with a sack is enough.

The reason why the audience was able to blind the audience just now was mainly due to the cooperation of the lighting, coupled with the fact that the appearance time was extremely short, and the high platform was relatively high.

"After watching the concert, let me tell you something."

Even the Menglong band, which has become popular in recent years, has a song style that many people think is a bit imitating Cao Xuan's early works.

You must know that the ticket price of Cao Xuan's concert is even only a small line higher than the ticket price of Taylor Swift's tour concert in the first half of the year.

The people who hadn't recovered from the accident just now couldn't help being surprised and happy, and their emotions were also ups and downs, and they felt very exciting.

This is also the reason why the big screen on the scene waited until the real Cao Xuan came out to start using it. If the close-up shooting was done, it would have been exposed.

Cao Xuan also deliberately arranged for a good start. Normally, there are lyrical slow songs and rock songs interspersed with each other. There are rushes and slow ones. This time, the opening three capitals are relatively passionate and exciting songs, and the whole concert is directly bursting with excitement.

Cao Xuan's early classic rock song - "Believer".

Almost from the moment the accompaniment appeared, many fans of Cao Xuan knew which song it was.

Jerry looked down on the money, but he thought of Tom and patted his good brother on the shoulder.

It stands to reason that the first concert should be used in a small number of large concerts such as Los Angeles to be cost-effective, but because the effect is not clear and fear of accidents with too many people, so I set up a "small venue" with 3 people to test the waters.

This makes people accustomed to competing with each other, and even the framed European and American music scene can't help but feel sorry for it.

In the hearts of many people, Cao Xuan is best at lyrical pop, this is not a lie, but there are also many fans who like rock, and Cao Xuan's rock is the most appreciated.

Especially Tom, he was thinking about looking back to see if he had a chance to invite Jerry back, but now he gave up.

In the past, the technical conditions were immature, and magic basically relied on real people and cover-ups. Now it can be combined with high technology, and now even virtual idol concerts can be realized. It is very simple to make a real person holographic projection.

After all, this kind of joint ticket can watch two consecutive games without having to grab additional tickets, which is more worry-free and convenient for fans who are not short of money.

Boss Cao sometimes feels that he is more suitable to act as a big fool than Old Zhao...

The scene lights were brightly lit, and Cao Xuan, who had jumped off the high platform, suddenly appeared on the stage tens of meters away, and his figure was also revealed on the big screen that was just turned on.

In fact, this kind of magic, the second time the effect is not so good.

It's shameless enough to steal other people's wool and take it as one's own. With Cao Xuan's shamelessness, he can't label other people's original works as plagiarism.

Under such circumstances, Cao Xuan's rescue was already very kind, and he even praised and affirmed it out loud, and now he actively supports the younger generation and sincerely helps.

Bang, bang!
Accompanied by a drum kit, the rest of Cao Xuan's band members clapped together.

So this gang of scalpers is crazy, and even gangsters end up, who doesn't like this kind of business.

In general, although there are still some immature parts, the effect presented is quite satisfactory, and the audience was very pleasantly surprised. It can be considered that Cao Xuan and the team did not waste their efforts.

The way that things have been
those stale sesame seeds

It's just that Cao Xuan's achievements in the pop field are too high and his influence is too great, and rock and roll has become less conspicuous in his career.

It's just that because he took it out in advance, the Magnum Band was formed a few years later. If the order is reversed, it will naturally become Magneto "copying" him.

"Magic, Oh, my god, we saw Now You See Me perform."

The concert in San Francisco is different from the one in Europe. Apart from the still brilliant lighting and dance beauty, there is also a new element.

Although he is not short of money, he is not a rich man, and he just got up in the past two years, and he has not yet reached the point where tens of thousands of dollars are ignored.

"Numb", "Believer", "Natural" and "The Phoenix" are all excellent rock works, and even Cao Xuan himself won a Grammy for Best Rock Singer.

If this kind of ticket falls into the hands of scalpers, the kindest one will also increase the price by US$100, and it is not uncommon for the price to double.

Cao Xuan did not expect that his behavior would suddenly improve his reputation and popularity in the European and American music circles.

Cao Xuan's popularity and traffic may be inferior to Taylor, who is now popular, but Cao Xuan's popularity and influence are stronger than hers, not to mention that this is a farewell concert with special aura and gimmicks.

"Cao, Cao, Cao—"

As a result, foreign audiences' first reaction to Cao Xuan's movie image is eagle-eyed, and the second reaction is an action superstar, and only after that can they be associated with magic.

I'ma say all the words inside my head
I want to express everything that's in my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been
I've had enough of the same old times

For this reason, the Dream Dragon Band was a blessing in disguise, getting a lot of exposure, and their career has also improved.

But now such a reminder, everyone immediately remembered the origin of Cao Xuan and magic, so it is natural for the concert to bring some magic elements.

Not to mention today's concert, Cao Xuan's status as a singer is even more impressive than his status as an actor, and Magic is even further behind.

Cao is really a bit too loyal and kind!

It's just that Marvel's reputation is too great, and there is a "Taken" series of three films that continue to accumulate influence.

There are also smart people who realized the situation immediately, such as Jerry, but Tom reacted faster than him. He understood the moment Cao Xuan appeared on the stage and reacted, jumping and shouting.

Maybe many people will ridicule and despise this kind of "magnanimity" behind their backs, and even think that Cao Xuan is easy to bully, but they may not be willing to make friends with such a person.

Tom blushed excitedly and roared with a thick neck. He even took off his shirt, waving it on his head.

Jerry next to him was not as crazy as him, but his mouth was dry, jumping and singing along with Cao Xuan's singing in the audience.

Angrily, a girl next to them stared at them all the time, holding the light stick tightly in her hand, wishing to turn the light stick in her hand into an AK47, and suddenly they flew back and forth.

I spent 500 dollars to buy a ticket to come in, I didn't listen to Cao Xuan's songs, I just listened to these two bastards howling here...
