Chapter 278 Concert (Two in One)

In any case, the failure of Super Boy's second album is irreparable. Kevin and the executives of Universal Music are very disappointed, especially since they still have millions of "Super Boy II" in stock in their warehouse. Now I can only hope that the water will flow slowly in the future, and it will be cleaned up slowly.

As some people said, Super Boy's second album is like a little brother who wants to get the glory, but not only does not get the light of his big brother, but because of the difference and gap between himself and his brother, his The image of my brother's brilliance has been affected to some extent.

Universal Music's insistence on releasing the second album is like an old story in China, superfluous, asking for trouble!
But even though the fans are not very interested in the second album, those professionals still gave some good comments. The global sales of the album also fluctuate directly from 100 million to [-] million per week. It is estimated that it will be sold for a year or two. At most two or three years, the inventory can be emptied.

Moreover, the popularity of Super Boys has been affected very little, so it can be imagined how powerful the popularity of this combination was cultivated in the previous first album.

Kevin didn't let the failure of the second album affect him for too long, and quickly forgot about his troubles and began to carry out other Superboy projects.

Although after a month of global publicity, Ning Sheng and the others are already very tired, but the plan that the company has made long ago does not regret changing it at will, not to mention that they have rested for almost a month after they came back.

When the second album was criticized and ridiculed by fans and the media, Superboy's manager Mark held a press conference and announced the last major event of Superboy this year, which is the fans' favorite concert!

The Superboy concert will be held in three venues around the world, New York's Madison Square Garden, England's Wembley Stadium, and Huaxia Bird's Nest Stadium.The company plans that Super Boy will contribute at least three popular performances to hundreds of thousands of fans in these three places.

As soon as the news was announced, fans all over the world were immediately excited. After more than a month, the entertainment circle left the Superboy news behind, but now, they have to let them hit the headlines again.

"The ticket sales for the Super Boys New York Madison Square Concert officially started a few days ago. In just half an hour, less than [-] tickets were sold out. Just when the fans were anxious because they couldn't buy tickets, Super Boys' manager Mark Said that Super Boy's concert in Madison will be added. I hope fans don't worry. If one is not enough, we will add two more, and if two are not enough, we will add three more. How many performances are needed depends on the needs of the fans. !”—New York Entertainment Magazine.

"As the tickets for Super Boy's concert in the United States are on sale, many fans from other countries have traveled thousands of miles just to watch an idol's concert, while fans in the UK and China are looking forward to Super Boy's arrival day and night. Grab your country’s concert tickets at any time!” ——Huaxia Music News.

"There are still three days before Super Boy's concert at Madison Square. However, the tickets for the concert have been sold for five shows. It is expected that there will be at least two or three additional shows in the future. For a new group that just debuted As far as the show is concerned, more than five consecutive performances can no longer be described as a big hit, but can be flaunted by the honor of a superstar, because for every superstar who can start in Madison, it is rare to be able to add more than five performances. There are very few! Superboy has created a new record inadvertently! The rookie group started singing in Madison, and added more than five consecutive performances!" --- The Sound of Music of America.

Because of the concert, Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan had to concentrate on training and rehearsals, so Emma and Britney could only leave to do their own things. However, for them who have just revealed their relationship and are in the stage of passionate love In other words, phone porridge before going to bed every day is essential.

Emma still looks petite and cute, but her face and figure are finally more mature. The script of "Kick-Ass 2" is still in labor, so Emma is planning to take on a new play that can be the leading role this year.

Listening to Emma's introduction of her current movie appointment to himself on the phone, Ning Cheng recalled the movies he had watched in his last life, and then pondered over what advice to give.

""Magic Cinderella", this is a screenplay adapted from many fairy tales. The film uses magic as an entertainment element, integrating the storylines of Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Shrek, and Harry Potter. What do you think of an offbeat romantic comedy directed by Tommy O'Harver, an unknown newcomer?" Emma asked on the phone.

Ning Cheng thought for a while and said, "It's not much new. If you don't have other good scripts, you can try it. It's just a game to relax and decompress." In Ning Sheng's impression, this is an Anne Hazel The comedy starring Wei didn't have much success, but it wasn't bad either. It was just a standard low-cost comedy movie.

Emma said, "Well, I will keep this script first, and then the next script is "Soccer Stunner", oh, this is a story about a woman disguised as a man, and then mixed into the men's football team to play football, I don't think it's interesting, What do you think?"

Ning Sheng nodded heavily and said, "I think so too, let's talk about the next script." Ning Sheng remembered that the heroine had a lot of kissing scenes in this movie, so it's better to pass.

"The next one is a multi-protagonist movie with an interesting name called "Summer of Jeans". It is a friendship story in which four good sisters are connected by a pair of jeans. What do you think?"

In Ning Cheng's impression, this movie seems to have a good reputation, but he doesn't like watching it very much, and he doesn't think it suits his mouth, but it's quite suitable for Emma at this meeting, "I also think it's very interesting, you can watch more, Compared to that Cinderella, I think this movie is better."

Emma hummed, and then said, "This is the last script, "New Oolong Girls' School", which is about a group of strange students at school—"

Ning Cheng and Emma were chatting about the script, while Ding Xuan in the other room was chatting with Britney via video, you and I talked about nasty love, and Justin and the three had no girlfriend to talk to for the time being. So I fell asleep early after being tired.

It was another sunny weekend, and the five of Ning Cheng got up early, had breakfast, and then rushed directly to Madison Square for the final rehearsal.After the rehearsal was completed in the morning, they went back to the hotel to have a good rest, and the rest of the work was waiting for the evening concert to start.

Time passed, the setting sun gradually slanted westward, the temperature in New York began to drop slowly, and there was already a long queue at the entrance of Madison Square.

The five of Ning Cheng were also preparing to leave in the hotel, when Emma called, "My dear, are you leaving yet? Britney and I will be arriving at your hotel soon."

Ning Chen said, "We're going down soon, you guys don't come up, go directly to Madison Square."

"Okay, then we will go there first, I wish you a smooth performance!" Emma agreed with a smile.

"Thank you, see you at the end of the show!"

"Okay, see you at the end of the show!"

Emma and Britney are going to watch their performance live, which is an encouragement to Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan, especially now that Emma is taking a bite of each other, which makes Ning Cheng feel itchy but very happy.

As soon as he thought of Emma watching his performance in the private room, Ning Sheng felt that his whole body had inexhaustible strength and special energy, and he couldn't wait to go on stage.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the entrance of the concert began to check tickets, and the long line of fans moved forward in an orderly manner. The five of Ning Cheng had also entered the backstage of the stage, making final preparations.

Time slipped by little by little, and when the time came at eight o'clock, the lights on the scene were dimmed, and a countdown appeared on the two screens in the dark on the stage!
"5——4——3——2——1" Following the countdown, the fans immediately started cheering and screaming. When the countdown ended, the stage lights suddenly turned on, and then the images of Ning Cheng and five people flashed on the screen one by one. , the fans shouted even louder, and the five Ning Cheng in the backstage cheered together, and then they all took their positions. As soon as the familiar music played, even though there was still no one on the stage, the fans already knew that the show had begun!

Yeah-eh-heah
As soon as Ding Xuan's voice sounded, the five of Ning Cheng slowly came out in front of the fans following the lifting platform, and the loudest screams erupted in the audience!

You are, my fire, The one, desire
You are my fire, you are the one, you are the desire

Believe, when I say, I want it that way
Trust me when I say I wanna get it that way

On the big screens on the left and right sides, the appearance of five people appeared alone or together from time to time. Under the bright lights, the appearance of five big boys singing in unison is so charming!
The advantage of having a large number of members in the group is very helpful at the concert. Each of the five members takes care of one direction, so that the fans at the scene can feel the illusion that they are being followed by their idols, making the fans more enthusiastic and making the atmosphere of the scene better.

Mr. Zheng and Kevin also sat in the private room to watch the performance this time. Seeing the enthusiasm of the fans and the cooperation of the five of Ning Cheng more and more freely, Kevin said to Mr. Zheng next to him, "Zheng, Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan signed the contract." The contract is only three years, and now the first year is almost over, I think we can enter the contract renewal negotiation earlier, what do you think?"

Mr. Zheng had already talked with Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan. Both of them decided that they would not renew the contract after three years. They should each do what they wanted. His business has initially stabilized in Europe and the United States, so he will not force Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan to renew their contracts.

What's more, he has other ideas about the biggest artist and shareholder of these two companies today, and to stay in Universal to work on this group. Even if Kevin is willing, he is not willing.

"Kevin, you're too anxious. When you signed the contract, you made an agreement. After three years, we'll see the results before discussing about Super Boys. The first year is not over yet, so don't worry." Mr. Zheng responded.

Although Super Boy is in a mess now, more than [-]% of the [-]% of the money earned has fallen into the pockets of Huijie Records.

Because of the failure of the second album, the best-selling first album was recorded and produced by Huijie Records. Universal Music basically only played the role of distribution, so although it also made a lot of money, the bulk is still with Huijie Records hand.

And Ning Sheng, who single-handedly wrote lyrics and music, earned even more astonishing income. After removing the heavy taxes in the United States, nearly [-] million Huaxia coins were recorded in the account, and the other four were also tens of millions of banknotes. This is only the income from the album. The income from advertisements, commercial performances, etc. has never been a small amount.

Even though Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan are going to leave the group temporarily after finishing the concert and go back to China to take care of their own affairs, but with the super popularity of Super Boys, Justin and the others will not lose the opportunity to make money.

Universal Music took great pains to start this project in order to make money for themselves, but the failure of the second album made them very disappointed. Kevin was even called by the company's president to teach him a lesson, and Ning Sheng's talent The profits brought about have finally attracted the attention of Universal.

In fact, Kevin has already seen that Ning Sheng and the others have no long-term willingness to cooperate, otherwise who would have offered the condition that they can only be active for half a year for a year. Such a condition simply does not take the development of this group into consideration. Will we cooperate for a long time?

However, Kevin's idea for this meeting is not just to maintain Super Boy's contract renewal with Ning Cheng. It's just a newcomer, as long as Ning Cheng is a genius, there will be no worries about selling the record.

Mr. Zheng naturally didn't know about this, but even if he knew, Mr. Zheng would just smile disdainfully. Ning Sheng's character is that he is a person who takes soft things but does not take hard things. He never wants to bow his head, but he doesn't want to bother at all. Records can keep Ning Sheng, except for the equity given by the company, he, the boss, has always treated him like a friend, and all other things except music are handled by the company for him. It is not a music studio, and it will not work under other people's hands.

Universal Music is great, but the boss of Universal Music will not be so polite to Ning Cheng. There are so many big names in the company, but not everyone will be friendly with Ning Cheng. global.

The climax of the concert was one wave after another, the fans shouted excitedly, sang loudly with the idols, and sang loudly in chorus, Kevin was thinking, within the three-year period, he must get rid of Ning Sheng. talent!

Super Boy’s first concert ended successfully. Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan each hugged their girlfriends and left in the car. Justin and the three had no one to go to, so they had to go back to rest. In this way, seven tickets for the concert had been sold before they finished. One performance, and there will be more performances after that.

With the end of the first concert, many self-portraited concert videos appeared on the Internet, allowing other fans who hadn't seen the performance to have a sneak peek.

And the popularity and popularity of Super Boy are gradually consolidated and condensed in this kind of communication!
