Get off work and become the Godfather of Rock and Roll

Chapter 124

General admission tickets should be the most expensive. Over the years, the general admission tickets for music festivals have rarely been less than 600, and some big-name stars have prices of more than four digits.

199?

Even if the local cultural and tourism bureau provides them with free venues, various equipment, venue construction, security measures, and cleaning services, the cost will be several million to nearly 10 million.

The venue provided by Yanshi can accommodate up to 50,000 people. Even if 50,000 people come, it will only be a return on investment.

As soon as the price came out, everyone who was paying close attention to the Yanshi Music Festival was excited.

"Yeah! 199! 199 can see Mai Zishan and Rong Shasha live! I really cried to death."

"This is really good. At this price, you can save yourself a hot pot meal."

"What's the time? When does it open? You can tell me when I will buy the ticket."

“My cat kept his litter.”

The audience was filled with joy at the same time.

There is another kind of boiling.

This kind of excitement is the excitement of colleagues.

"Market-destroying behavior, this is market-destroying! If he does this, how can we hold music festivals in the future?"

"Is he so shameless? Is he aloof or what? Setting the ticket price so low breaks the rules of the industry."

There is a reason for the anger of colleagues. Music festivals are a magic weapon for major agencies to make money.

For example, Tang Jianglan had almost forgotten about Mai Zishan and had already covered that period of shadow.

Then when I saw Mai Zishan’s price, I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Her Huolian agency actually relies on music festivals for a large part of its profits. Generally speaking, the price for a slightly famous singer starts at 300, and for a more famous singer, the ticket price is 500.

Coupled with the drinks and additional services at the music festival, a music festival can earn tens of millions.

Now she wanted to peel the wheat.

Priced at 199? what are you thinking? Where is the profit? How to make money? How do you want me to make money in the future?

……

At this moment, Yan City.

This price was finally decided by Mai Zishan, and the process was quite smooth.

He and Lin Xinyue carefully calculated that as long as they bring 30,000 tourists, all venue fees will be waived.

The remaining fees are basically the same as the tickets.

It's still the same as in the Salt Industry Base, earning money for drinks.

It all depends on Ji Zhonghe~
Furthermore, Mai Zishan's new album has already brought him a steady stream of income. Last week, the first wave of copyright fees was paid into his account.

A full 20 million, and this is just the first wave.

The subsequent copyright income is astronomical.

He can drive a Maybach anytime he wants.

Money is no longer an issue.

In Mai Zishan's mind now, there are only the church doves that were hovering around him.

Nowadays, pigeons are a crowd.

At every moment, he is on the fifth level of Maslow's needs theory. …

Fu Guangyu is the editor-in-chief, but above the editor-in-chief there is the president, and above the president there are shareholders.

No matter how much power he has in the commentary community, he still cannot disobey shareholders.

The shareholders' meeting told the president to tell him, "Stop fighting rock music."

Rock music is now popular. If Fu Guangyu continues to mess around like this, the reputation of "Musician" will be ruined.

While Mai Zishan was preparing for the music festival, several singers released new rock albums on the market.

All brokerage firms have discovered a terrible pattern.

That is: as long as the album has a little bit of rock and roll, it will help sales.

Mai Zishan completely made this genre popular and made rock and roll a cash cow.

Facing the cash cow, if Fu Guangyu continues to have trouble with rock music, he will be a public enemy of the industry.

Many brokerage companies and album platforms have come to the door of the "Music Festival" shareholder meeting.

He sternly demanded that Fu Guangyu stop messing around.

As a result, Fu Guangyu was depressed at the moment.

Extremely depressed.

It would be great if this world respected critics.

It's not that he hates rock music, he hates what Mai Zishan and Lin Xinyue said.

“Those who cannot become artists become critics.”

This is a quote from Flaubert, often used to target critics.

Fu Guangyu strongly denied this statement.

Why do you look down on people who make comments? No film critic? How do audiences know if a movie is worth watching?
Without music critics, the audience will sooner or later be eroded by the short video platform.

In his eyes, it is the existence of critics that defends a position and allows people to find a quiet place in this era of short videos.

But there will always be people like Mai Zishan who think they have sung two good songs and feel that their achievements have nothing to do with the critics.

The more Fu Guangyu thought about it, the angrier he became, but there was nothing he could do.

He did not dare to disobey the shareholders' meeting.

The shareholders' meeting also gave him a new task, asking him to praise the goodness of rock music and wheat.

Fu Guangyu felt like scolding others.

Too bully.

At this moment, he turned on his phone and saw the pricing of the Maizishan Music Festival.

Good guy, 199?

An idea flashed through his mind.

“Do you want to make some extra money by becoming a scalper?”

Then he cursed himself immediately.

"Isn't it embarrassing? Is it embarrassing to think like this? Where is the dignity of a critic?"
