Chapter 244 New Year's Eve Concert

As the New Year draws closer, the sales of YESUNG Celebrity New Year's albums have risen again.Seeing Lie Xinxi, Polygram Records and EMI Records also immediately released their own Lunar New Year records.

However, because the preparation time was too hasty, there were not so many new songs to be recorded at that time, so most of them were cover songs of old songs, so in terms of quality and sincerity, it is naturally not as good as the masterpieces produced by Yesung Records.

In addition to the soaring sales of records, the box office of the movie "Drunken Master" also remained high. It has climbed to 400 million Hong Kong dollars within a month of its release, giving Xu Brothers a good start.

And the follow-up films are also ready, one is the new work "Deed of Sale" by the Xu Brothers, and the other is "The Prodigal Boy" starring Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying, and Feng Ke'an. ".

In addition to movies and Lunar New Year records, Xu Guanwu also suggested that Zheng Donghan co-host the "Stars Welcome Concert" with the TV station. It can sell tickets and record live, and it will be broadcast on New Year's Eve.

After thinking about it, Zheng Donghan also felt that this plan was very feasible.Who doesn't want to be happy and lively during the Chinese New Year?In the past, the older generation liked to listen to Cantonese opera, but now young people like to listen to pop music.If the artists of the company hold a few concerts, not only can they have fun with many fans, but also increase their popularity.

The TV station is also very interested in the request for cooperation from YESUNG Records. Who doesn’t know that the singers of YESUNG Records are very popular. If they broadcast the New Year’s Eve concert on New Year’s Eve, it will definitely attract many viewers to watch.

Therefore, whether it is wireless TV station, Jiayi TV station, or Li's TV station, they all want to cooperate with Yisheng Records. The copyright fee has also risen again and again, from 20 to 100 million, and finally Jiayi TV station gave won.

Since the establishment of Jiayi TV Station in September last year, the ratings have been sluggish. Not to mention competing with TVB, even Li's TV station is better than it.

The reason is that in order to promote education, the British Hong Kong government set up an educational TV station, and the program was produced by Radio Television Hong Kong, which made the rival commercial radio very panicked.So George Ho, chairman of Commercial Radio, also wants to build his own TV station.

And Jardine Matheson also wanted to set foot in the TV field when it saw that its old rivals HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa had opened their own TV stations, which could save a lot of publicity costs.

He Zuozhi then recruited three very influential media in Hong Kong, including "Sing Tao Daily", "Overseas Chinese Daily" and "Commercial Daily", and formed a team to apply for a TV license from the British Hong Kong government.

However, it is not easy to apply for the third TV license. First of all, vested interests such as HSBC, Hutchison Whampoa, Radio Television Hong Kong, and Li's Voice do not want to have multiple competitors, so they also put pressure on the British Hong Kong government. .

Under the struggle of the three parties, He Zuozhi was also forced to make concessions and offered to broadcast educational programs during prime time, thus avoiding a head-on collision with TVB.

And Li's TV station has also obtained another English TV station management right, becoming a TV station that can produce and broadcast both Chinese and English programs.

However, Jiayi TV Station has only been approved for a Chinese TV station license. Compared with TVB TV and Li's TV Station, Jiayi TV Station seems to be missing a leg.

If there are two channels in Chinese and English, then the production cost of the program will be diluted. The English channel can be broadcast once, and the Chinese channel can be broadcast again.

But if there is only one channel, it can only be played once, and the production cost of the program is equivalent to twice that of other TV stations, resulting in an increase in the operating cost of Jiayi TV station.

And broadcasting educational programs in the prime time period hits the Achilles heel of Jiayi TV Station.The educational programs at that time were boring and tasteless, just like distance correspondence courses and TV universities. The dry lectures were very boring.During prime time, who doesn't want to watch entertainment programs to relieve boredom, who would hold a book and do homework with TV at night?
Moreover, during the two-hour educational program, no commercials were allowed, which would have killed Jiayi TV.

For four hours a day, the ratings were so poor that even advertisements were not allowed to air, which made Jiayi TV station lose a lot of income.Since its inception half a year ago, all the shareholders not only have not received any dividends, but also continue to pour money into it, so there are many complaints.

He Zuozhi paid a lot of money to buy the copyright of "Stars Welcome Concert", and he also wanted to use the popularity of singers under Yisheng to reverse the decline in the ratings of Jiayi TV Station, which has always been ranked last.

……

"Stars Welcome Concert" will be held at the Hong Kong City Hall from the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Five concerts will be held. At that time, all the stars of Yisheng will perform on the stage, such as Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanying, Xu Xiaofeng, Winner Band, Zhang Guorong and so on.

Any one of these stars can be pulled out at random to hold a solo concert, not to mention that all the groups will be on stage.Therefore, the sales of concert tickets are also very hot. From the year 25 to 29, five-day tickets, 99 chapters, were sold out on the first day of release, and even scalper tickets were fired from 40 yuan to 200 yuan. Quadrupled.

Zheng Donghan saw that the sales were so hot, he couldn't help suggesting that Xu Guanwu hold more shows.Because the stage cost is fixed, the more shows you have, the more the cost will be diluted, and the profit will naturally be higher.

Xu Guanwu was originally worried that these celebrities didn't want to start working during the New Year, but when he asked, everyone felt that it didn't matter.Maybe it's because everyone is young, and they all want to make more money; moreover, they probably like to enjoy the feeling of being chased and cheered by everyone, so they are all very happy to start work during the Spring Festival.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwu agreed to add a few more shows, and finally added ten more shows. From the 25th year of the year to the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, all the shows were full. A lot of red envelopes.

……

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, in fact, older people are reluctant to celebrate the New Year, not only because of high fees, but more importantly, they are upset.I am full of trivial matters, and I can no longer be as unrestrained as a child, especially when I reach the age of marriage and childbirth, the most troublesome!
Xu Guanying and Xu Guanwu are now facing such troubles.

The Xu family's New Year's Eve dinner this year, because brothers Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie were going to perform on stage, moved the New Year's Eve dinner to five o'clock in the evening. As soon as the sun went down, the Xu family began to sit together.

"Awu, Azhi, eat more Lantern Festival, and raise a fat grandson for us next year." Mother Xu said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being taken aback, while Zhao Yazhi blushed suddenly.

"Please, brother, sister-in-law, fourth child, younger siblings, don't be in a hurry. Azhi and I have only been married for a year, so we are not in a hurry." Xu Guanwu said depressingly.

"Why don't you worry, eat Yuanxiao all the time, and hug your big fat grandson next year." Mother Xu said with a glare at him.

"Ah Wu, eat as soon as Mom tells you to." Xu Guanwen also said hastily.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat." Xu Guanwu forced a smile and said, "Azhi, hurry up and eat too."

Zhao Yazhi also glared at him, and ate the Yuanxiao with a blushing face.

"Aying, what about you, just bring me a girlfriend next year. This way our house will be lively during Chinese New Year next year, and you don't have to be alone all the time." The old lady muttered again, talking about the sad part Choked up.

"Mom, Ah Ying is not a child anymore, let him make up his own mind." Seeing that Xu Guanying was fidgeting like a thorn in his body, Xu Guanwen couldn't help persuading him quickly.

"What I'm talking about is that with Ah Ying's current conditions, we don't want to look for them, otherwise a lot of women will rush over." Xu Guanwu also persuaded, "Ah Ying, you should change your shy temper later. Get in touch with girls more."

"Oh, I see." Xu Guanying nodded and agreed.

"Hurry up, everyone, and go to the New Year's Eve concert together later." Xu Guanjie greeted.

"I don't want to go to your concert, it's too messy. Your mother and I went to Li Stage to listen to Ren Bai's Cantonese opera. That's really good." Father Xu said without giving any face, leaving Xu Guanjie speechless.

"It's all good, it's all good, don't argue, let's eat and eat." The old lady quickly persuaded.

……

After dinner, the whole family is busy in their own way.

The four Xu brothers all went to the Hong Kong City Hall to watch the concert, while Xu's father and Xu's mother went to Lee Theater to watch the big play.

After driving to the Hong Kong City Hall, before seven o'clock, the audience was already queuing up to enter the arena.

When everyone came to the backstage first, they saw that the staff was busy.Zheng Donghan led a group of people to check the stage meticulously to ensure that there would be no mistakes during the performance.This is also his experience in performances for many years. In many cases, just such a small mistake will make the whole concert lose its luster.So check it before the performance, so as to rest your heart and the heart of the singer.

"Mr. Xu, Happy Chinese New Year!" "Mr. Xu, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"...

All the staff members I met gave me a smile on my face.

Of course Xu Guanwu also said something, all of them were 500 yuan lai see.

Anyway, the company has made a lot of money by holding [-] concerts in a row, so there is no reason to treat its employees badly.

Sure enough, everyone received a thick red envelope, and they were all overjoyed, laughing even more happily.

In a short while, everyone in the backstage knew that Mr. Xu had given out red envelopes, and they all rushed over in a swarm.

Xu Guanwu never refuses anyone who comes, one person for one, never fails, so that everyone can also be happy.

After being lively for a while, everyone dispersed and continued to work.

Xu Guanwu and the others also sat backstage, putting on makeup and resting, preparing to perform on stage.

……

"Hey, Leslie, come on, come on!" Xu Guanwu was sitting drinking tea when Zhang Guorong suddenly walked past the door and beckoned him in.

"Why didn't I see you when the red envelope was distributed just now, I'll give you another one now." Xu Guanwu smiled and handed over a red envelope and said, "It's very auspicious, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

"Mr. Xu, you are also making money every day, and your money is rolling in." Zhang Guorong took the red envelope, secretly opened a small crack to look at it, and smiled very happily.

"Sit, sit." Xu Guanwu felt happy when he saw Zhang Guorong, especially today he was dressed like a good fortune boy, it looked so festive.

"How do you feel recently, are you tired from performing?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"I'm not tired, I feel good." Zhang Guorong waved his hand and said, "It's just that I'm not famous yet, and the applause from the audience is not warm enough."

"Don't worry, when you come back to release an album, it will be on the newspaper page, and then it will be on TV shows. Once the publicity is in place, people will become popular immediately." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Your appearance is so good, girls will know it when they see it." like."

Zhang Guorong was a little embarrassed when he said a word.

"Leslie, you still haven't thanked Mr. Xu, he promised to help you release an album." Xu Xiaofeng reminded with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Xu!" Zhang Guorong came to his senses and thanked him quickly.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "You don't need to thank me, I promoted you to make money, I should thank you."

Just as they were talking, the Winner Five Tigers also ran in. Recently, they have been busy making movies, holding concerts, and recording, and they have multiple roles.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Xiaofeng, Leslie..." As soon as they entered the door, the five people greeted each other in a hurry, adding a lot of lively atmosphere to the room.

"Come on, sit down! Each person gets a red envelope, Gong Xi Fa Cai." Xu Guanwu once again said as the God of Wealth.

Although the current income of the Wenna Five Tigers is as high as tens of thousands per month, they are also happy to receive red envelopes, and the lounge immediately became a group of joy.
