In fact, what Qiao Guoer said to Xiao Qi was about general matters.
When it comes to a concert, there are so many things that need to be prepared.
For example, when Michael Jackson came to China, there were hundreds of his accompanists, dance team, makeup assistants, etc., as well as a lot of top-notch music equipment, etc. It is no exaggeration to take a chartered flight.
.
Arranging food, accommodation and travel for these people, as well as arranging air travel applications, are all things that test the capabilities of the cooperative company.
In addition, there are complex cost calculations, profit sharing, reasonable tax avoidance, etc., which also require a lot of energy, manpower and material resources. This is one of the reasons why Xiaoniao.com cannot be a company alone and has to bring in the Kiwi Film and Television Group.
Xiao Qi has always thought that professional things should be left to professionals, so he left it to his two wives and let them do it.
What Xiao Qi didn't expect was that on this day, before noon, the rumor that "Michael Jackson was coming to China to hold a concert" had quickly become popular on the Internet.
"Is it true? Michael will come to China?"
"Yes, he didn't even come to China during his heyday. Now I heard that he was involved in lawsuits. Why did he come to China?"
"It's true! I have relatives who work at Xiaoniao.com. Today, the beautiful boss personally issued an order to set up a special group to join forces with Kiwi Film and Television to discuss Michael Jackson's concert tour in China.
I heard that we in Chengdu are also one of the stops!"
"That's inevitable in Chengdu! Don't you want to think about where Xiaoniao.com is? And our spending power in Chengdu is definitely not bad! Michael is coming to Chengdu to hold a concert. I don't have to use one month's salary, I will use it all to buy tickets!"
"Speaking of this, I believe the tickets are definitely not cheap, right? I wonder if there are any for less than 500 yuan?"
"Cut! Under 500 yuan? Are you insulting my idol? When a superstar like Michael comes to China to hold a concert, the starting price is at least 1,000 yuan!"
"Isn't this too high? Xueyou comes to Chengdu to hold a concert, and the lowest ticket price is only 130. Michael has to pay almost ten times the price?"
"This is completely different, brother! Xueyou can come to Chengdu to hold a concert every once in a while, but what about Michael? He is so old, and his condition is not very good. Maybe after coming this time,
I will never come here again! Watch Michael’s swan song concert for 1,000 yuan. What’s the disadvantage?”
"The one upstairs is great. How many years have we listened to pirated tapes and watched pirated concert discs? Isn't it okay to donate a concert ticket to your idol since you were a kid? Just do it.
My ability permits, I will definitely not buy the worst ticket, just to have a closer look at Michael!"
"That's so good! I heard that Michael's financial situation has been bad. I'm afraid he was forced to hold this concert. I don't want to just attend one concert. I also hope that Michael will come to perform every once in a while.
Yes, so we must support Michael and let him know that Chinese fans can also hold up a sky!"
"..."
Discussions were aroused on the Internet. Entertainment media, newspapers and magazines also quickly took action.
Legends are just legends. They can be discussed passionately on the Internet, but they cannot just catch them.
Only when you really get accurate information can it be considered good news. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if people eventually find out that it is false information.
Both Xiaoniao.com and Kiwi Movies did not disappoint the media. At just one o'clock in the afternoon, Xinglang.com was the first to publish a Michael Jackson's classic look that took up more than half of the page on the home page.
"The king is here. I'll meet you in China in August!"
Such a domineering advertising slogan instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm!
Immediately afterwards, other portals also published the news, and Xiangshui TV, which responded the fastest, directly launched a special program dedicated to showing clips of Michael Jackson's concerts. Then people were asked to comment, and finally the entertainment
People in the industry are discussing and speculating on where Michael Jackson will hold concerts in China and how many concerts he will hold.
Just such a program was broadcast at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The ratings suddenly soared to 18%, setting a record for Xiangshui Satellite TV and making their station director smile from ear to ear.
But the richest and most international Dragon TV is no exception. They directly sent reporters to the United States to block the door of Big Machinery Company. Finally, in the evening of China time, that is, in the morning of New York time, they blocked the president of Big Machinery Company.
Scott, he personally admitted that Michael Jackson indeed has plans to hold a concert in China in August.
Although Scott did not say much about the specifics, this evidence is already the most direct. Whether it is on the Internet or in TV news media, it has once again set off a wave of joy.
For a time, all the media, advertisers, and brokerage companies that were still waiting for the news immediately launched an all-round non-stop bombardment on Xiaoniao.com and Kiwi.
"Hey, Xiaoniao.com? I'm from a supermarket. Can we invite Michael Jackson to visit our supermarket when he comes to China? The price is easy! How about 5 million?... What? Only 5 million US dollars will be considered.
, you’re a fool! You can’t spend so much to invest in a movie, right? I’ll go to your company and we’ll meet and talk!”
"Sister Zhu, Xiao Du from Capital TV station, do you think Michael Jackson must come to the capital to hold a concert? Can you invite him to participate in one of our programs? It won't take long, just an hour! In addition to giving
In addition to his 30 million remuneration, we will also remember your favor! In the future, Kiwi artists will come to Capital TV to appear on shows, and everything will be negotiable!"
"Hello, I am Donny, the marketing director of the Grand Hotel. When Mr. Michael Jackson and his team come to China for a concert, our hotel is willing to provide them with free accommodation, meals and special car transportation in the capital, including your company's
The staff also enjoy the same treatment, as long as our hotel's name appears in every advertisement... You said that the conditions of Vicenza Hotel are the same as ours, and you are willing to pay 20 million to name it?... This, too
Are you messing around?"
"Miss Shen, I'm Wu Xiaowen, have you rested? Hey, that's it. I have some good brothers who especially admire Michael Jackson. Isn't he coming to our Chengdu? My brothers want to be with him
Let’s have a meal and take a photo, seven or eight people, each of us can give 1 million, do you think it’s okay?”
"Qi Shao, here comes the opportunity for Taobao.com! I decided to be the full sponsor of Michael Jackson's China tour concert, 'Michael Jackson China Taobao Concert Tour'. What do you think of the name?
?...Yes, I know it costs a lot, but don’t we have money? 100 million yuan is enough, right? Trust me, he must be worth the price, and Taobao.com will also follow Michael Jackson this time
The success has penetrated into thousands of households!”
"Qishao, I'm Yibin. Our Xiaoyao Mall can definitely be Michael Jackson's title sponsor. Listen to me..."
"..."
Basically, this night, Kiwi, Bird Net, and even Xiao Qi did not have any peace of mind.
This also means that the specific concert city has not been announced, otherwise regional advertisers and sponsors in other cities will make them even more busy.
Xiao Qi also felt the true charm of Michael Jackson for the first time.
In the concert highlights, I saw hundreds or even thousands of fans fainting during a concert. I originally thought it was an exaggerated editing.
Now from the crazy reactions of Chinese fans and businessmen, it seems that Michael Jackson is the number one singer in the world.
I really don’t know how crazy Michael Jackson will be when he holds a concert in China?
Now Xiao Qi suddenly felt that this grand occasion might become an insurmountable peak!
The same is true for harvest.
Qiao Guoer and Shen Wuyan have made preliminary calculations. Michael Jackson and Big Machine will earn a total of US$100 million, while the revenue of Xiaoniao.com and Kiwi is about US$30 million.
The revenue of 130 million U.S. dollars is still a net profit before tax. At first glance, it does not look like much, but if the time is condensed into 40 days, it is completely something to be proud of.
At least on this planet, except for this man named Michael Jackson, there is no other person who can perform concerts and earn so much income by singing in such a short period of time.
Of course, Xiaoniao.com and Kiwiguo gained more than just over 200 million yuan in revenue, and this amount of money was not in the eyes of the two major companies.
The most important thing is that with Michael Jackson's concert, they first expand their influence in China. No one else can invite Michael Jackson. Only we can invite him, so we are the best!
The second is to get a lot of benefits other than money, such as some favors.
Favor is useless if you say it is useless, but it is very useful in many cases and can produce very good results at critical moments.
The third is to send a signal to the European and American superstars. You see, I can even do Michael Jackson's concerts so well. If you want to come to China to make money, shouldn't you also come to me?
Don't doubt it.
The Chinese people’s nostalgia is the best in the world.
Just talking about "Hotel California" can attract at least 500,000 Chinese people to attend the Eagles' concert, and the price is definitely high.
There are also Whitney Houston in "I Will Always Love You" and Celine Dion in "My Heart Will Go On"... and other superstars who can make young and middle-aged people in China donate generously.
Even if you only like one song, it represents your youth and the past years that you can never live again.
These feelings and sentiments cannot be measured by money.
This situation will also give Bird Net and Kiwi Fruit huge room for operation.
Now that the old stars are here, what about other emerging stars, from the United States, Europe, South America... Will it be far away that these singers will come to China to make money? (To be continued...)
