China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 348 Now the pressure is coming to Los Angeles

After the specific itinerary of the [On the Road] world tour was announced, fans from other countries were calling and sending emails to inquire about ticket sales times and purchase channels.

On the Bangzi side, some netizens broke through.

Why do they hold four shows on a small day but only two in their country?

Moreover, only 80,000+ people were mobilized for the two games.

unfair!

Then, before waiting for an official reply, Xiaobangzi started quarreling internally.

Many small sticks have pointed their fingers at the government's inaction, which does not even have a performance venue with more than 5 people.

Just like this, do you still expect KPOP to take the world by storm?

There’s not even a performance venue!

Compared with several small arenas in the early days, Xiaobangzi lagged behind in all aspects.

In fact, there are only two games in Xiaobangzi. This is not because of discrimination against Xiaobangzi, but because it is not cost-effective.

The number of large venues can also reflect the infrastructure situation of a country from the side.

The only two venues in Xiaobangzi that can hold concerts with more than 4 people are Jamsil Olympic Stadium and Sangam World Cup Stadium.

Only these two.

In my childhood, there were at least five similar places.

As for China, which is crazy about infrastructure, there are even more venues that can accommodate more than 50,000 people. There are basically super large stadiums in economically developed regions and key cities.

Although the utilization rate is not high, having it and not having it are completely different things.

……

……

6 month 28 number.

The Los Angeles Memorial Stadium once again ushered in a huge crowd. In terms of crowd flow, it was no less than the Super Bowl held in February.

Various media outlets also set up their long guns and short cannons outside the venue, and many domestic media also sent teams of reporters, including Yang Ma.

Although many singers have conducted world tours before, most of the audiences at overseas shows were mainly overseas Chinese.

The Los Angeles stop of the [On the Road] tour is the largest concert held by Chinese overseas, which has special historical significance.

More than 9 people were mobilized.

"Xiao Li, the machine will be set up later, and I will take pictures there as soon as possible."

He Ke, CCTV's reporter in America, pointed to the LED screen outside the venue.

"OK!"

The photographer made a gesture.

That LED screen must be photographed!

I saw only a few lines of numbers displayed above.

bracelet return rate

BEIJING：99.5%

The return rate of 99.5% is not as perfect as 100%, but normal people know that % is impossible.

In the last game, a total of 92800+ bracelets were distributed, and in the end, only more than 400 people did not return them.

To be fair, this return rate is already very high.

Now the pressure is on the people of Los Angeles.

After debugging the equipment, He Ke started to conduct interviews with the photography team.

A concert with nearly 100,000 people is rare even in North America. He Ke has been stationed in the United States for three years and this is the first time he has seen such a scene.

Really big scene.

Looking around, you can see the vast sea of ​​people, as far as the eye can see. According to visual inspection, people of yellow race account for about one-third.

One-third are white.

The remaining third, roughly, is other people of color.

The fans are mainly young people, most of whom are around 20 years old, but there are also people in their thirties and forties.

But the proportion is not high.

People in their forties or fifties can still see it, but it's just a proportion. It's similar to protecting animals. There are probably one or two out of a thousand people.

This is also consistent with Lu Yuan's positioning.

The people who listen to his songs are mainly young people aged 15-30. The older ones prefer R&B and rock.

Although the songs released by Lu Yuan also have a rock style, in the eyes of those rock veterans, his songs are not real rock.                                     more popular.

Everyone has their own preferences for carrots and cabbage. Lu Yuan is only a human being and cannot take care of everyone's preferences.

Although there are many hard-core rock songs in Lu Yuan's memory, the audience of hard-core rock is relatively low.

The three major bands, Coldplay, Dream Dragon, and Magic Red, are relatively well-known rock bands that are both popular and popular.

But their later styles also had obvious changes compared to their early days.

In the early days, it was more rock and roll, and in the later period, it was more pop.

There is no way, it is a recognized fact that pop rock is more profitable.

The market will teach you how to be a good person!

Lu Yuan's original intention to enter the European and American music scene is to make money, of course, whatever is popular and whatever he sings.

Five p.m.

The peak crowd period was ushered in outside the venue. Faced with thousands of people, the American police were on standby.

For such a large-scale concert, if something happens, the fun will be great.

However, compared to other states, California’s safety factor is higher because California is one of the states with the strictest gun bans in America.

of course.

No matter how strict it is, you still have to go through the security check.

Lu Yuan still attaches great importance to his own life. There is no lack of news in history about extreme fans shooting idols.

John Lennon, the lead singer of the legendary band The Beatles, was shot to death by an extreme fan.

When the time came to half past five, Jerry walked through the crowd sweating profusely and entered the stadium. The moment he stepped out of the aisle, he saw the moon hanging above the sub-stage.

Is Los Angeles Station different from Yanjing Station?

After thinking about it, Jerry immediately understood the difference.

The structure of the Bird's Nest is different from that of the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, and it is impossible to recreate the scene of the solar system being lit up in sequence.

Didn’t you see that the moon was hoisted on a makeshift gantry?

In addition, Yanjing Bird's Nest Station is surrounded by four platforms.

Los Angeles Station has a three-sided stage. Moreover, Los Angeles Station also has something that Yanjing Station does not have. The channel T stage that connects the main and auxiliary stages is something that Yanjing Station does not have.

soon.

Jerry found his place.

It is still the infield area, and it is the best observation area close to the main stage.

To buy the ticket, he spent $1,500 on eBay.

Those damn scalpers!

The ticket price of 300 dollars was suddenly raised to 1500 dollars.

On the stage.

The film crew of "The Band of Thieves" was the same as last time, also urgently recording material before the opening.

Since filming started in April, "The Thieves" has been filming for nearly three months. If it weren't for the concert, the movie would have been completed.

Now, only two-thirds of the filming is complete.

There is still one third left and it is expected to take a month.

In other words, Lu Yuan will have to stay with the crew for a month after the concert before he can return to China to rest for a while.

This time, his vacation was longer and he could rest for about twenty days.

After the holiday, the [On the Road] tour officially started, with a total of 65 shows, an average of two per week.

From August until the end in February next year, Lu Yuan's main work is concerts.

During this period, he will also release a Chinese album.

This is his fourth Chinese album, and he is going to do a lot of work with this album.

Take the Chinese style route.

Following the example of Teresa Teng, the entire album is mainly based on poetry adaptations.

As for whether the market will recognize it or not, Lu Yuan is actually not particularly worried. With "Young Chinese Story" and "Qing Ping Tiao", a cross-time and space collaboration with Teresa Teng, the reputation will not be too bad.
