Chicago 1990

"South America is a bit poor now..."

"Isn't it always bad?"

"This year is particularly bad." During the boring voyage, Ms. Sloan chatted with Song Ya.

"The two major trafficking groups of Medellin and Cali in Colombia have declined in the War of Prohibition against U.S. intervention. The peddlers have dispersed to South American countries, looking for new'business routes' to the U.S. Mexico, Honduras... Including Brazil."

She said: "MJ started the historical tour tour almost at the same time as your full-point tour. It is estimated that there will be 90 concerts in two years, and he will not come to South America at a time. He had a dangerous tour tour in 1993 in Central and South America. More than a dozen concerts."

"The audience is different."

Always think on the bright side. In terms of security, you have been as careful as possible. Never play with dangerous stage effects such as elevators and flying trapeze like MJ and Madonna. Pay special attention to fireworks and other points that may cause accidents. , Let old Mike lead the security team, and so on.Song Ya smiled and said, "I am more popular in Latin-speaking countries."

"what!"

Sloan stopped talking about this topic. The two started asking and answering questions and practiced how to respond to the local media according to the memo given by Anschutz and Sony Columbia Records. It was not difficult. It was nothing more than loving each other’s country, showing the local language, and at the same time. Full of American red star style.

Song Ya was distracted as he listened to the high-level Anschutz who was also in the first-class cabin next to Hamlin. The booking momentum was very good, and they wanted to temporarily increase the number of games.

One more game in Sao Paulo, two more games in Mexico City, one more game in Lisbon after arriving in Europe, one more trip to Zaragoza, Spain, one more game.

This is almost the result of the talks, and I instructed Hamlin to agree to this condition at most. The two sides have been negotiating for some time, and only the final decision is left.Then the tour schedule within two months has been increased from eight to thirteen. They are:

One event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Two games in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Two games in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Santiago, Chile

Mexico City, Mexico three games

Two games in Lisbon, Portugal

Madrid, Spain

One game in Zaragoza, Spain

The four small-scale tours in the United States last year are considered to test the waters, and the global tour with full marks is also more restrained in the first half of this year. In fact, if you really enter the tour rhythm of top singers, at least 70 concerts will be held in two years. of.

The Rolling Stones’ Voodoo Lounge tour last year, held a total of 129 concerts around the world last year, with an average audience of 50,000, an average revenue of 2.5 million dollars per show, and a total revenue of 320 million dollars. , History first.The 3DFX trio named the chip Voodoo because of the influence of the Rolling Stones.

Madonna's 1993 girl show concerts also held 39 shows, with an average income of 1.79 million per show, and a yearly gold of 70 million dollars.

Due to the performance of the stage, the most profitable concerts are rock bands. The box office income of singing and dancing singers is much lower than that of rock bands with the same status, except for the two superstars MJ and Madonna.

The performance of other types of singers is even worse. At present, the most popular country singer in the United States, Garth Brooks, has an average audience of more than 20,000 per concert and an average income of less than half a million dollars. This is still in the US.

After all, most ordinary people buy tickets to watch concerts just to pursue an atmosphere, to have fun with rock bands, or to watch idol superstars singing and dancing and dazzling stage performances.At this point, the ex-wife Mariah Carey’s record sales are not good enough. She can’t dance, and the Vocal singing style that consumes her voice can’t afford high-intensity tours.

As for hip-hop singers, there is no precedent for a global tour, and he is the first.

Of course, I am not a complete hip-hop singer, and Latin audiences don’t want to watch hip-hop. Ai Se Eu Te Pego, a Portuguese saliva song that is popular in the Latin region, is the reason why Anshuz is willing to invest in full-point tours. Mambo No 5 and Angelina, two Mambo styles that Latin audiences like.

And the entire concert takes more than two hours. Whether other tracks can capture the hearts of the audience, Anshuz is so cautious because he has doubts.

At least until now, it seems that I am still popular in South America. Ai Se Eu Te Pego has been on the singles charts in many countries for a long time, until it is defeated by the Spanish song Macarena, which has set off a global boom.Latin American fans, especially female fans, still regard themselves as idol stars singing love songs.

"APLUS."

Hamlin and Anshuzi's people came to find the negotiated documents. Anyway, the plane was boring. Song Ya looked at it carefully and found that there was no problem, so he signed.

"If the feedback from South America is good, it is estimated that the second half of next year will significantly increase the number of games. APLUS, you are also very popular in Asia, especially in the Chinese-speaking regions, you may not be as popular as you can imagine."

The Anshuzi people said excitedly.

"hope so."

Even MJ and Madonna, the global tour is also a large part of their income, but they are different, the touring career is like acting in Hollywood, should you polish your acting skills?Yes, is there room for improvement?Of course, there is a lot of room. After all, I think my acting skills are out of reach, but the cost is not worth it for me now. With this energy and time, it’s better to go online and explore some familiar Internet investment goals. Sort out the various companies under it, and even do a few more law exams to enrich your head.

It's just that we need to maintain a good relationship with Anschutz. The theme song of the World Cup is still to be won. That global influence is another level.

"Of course, we will succeed!"

The people in Anshuze didn't know what he was thinking, "We have done a lot for you, APLUS."

"I know."

Song Ya nodded in appreciation.

Holding a global tour requires a lot of cost. Purely from the perspective of the recording industry, the higher the singer's unit time, the greater the profit.

For example, although the core personnel used for the tour is only one-third of that of MJ, and the publicity is about a similar proportion, they also hold concerts with tens of thousands of people, and the number of local staff and security personnel employed is under pressure. If it doesn’t come down, a whole set of touring teams such as lighting, sound, generator, stage equipment transportation, catering, travel agency, insurance, etc. will be indispensable, and it will not be cheap.

Therefore, if there are more shows in the same city, the more intensive the arrangement, the more the cost will be diluted. It is not conducive to promote the local propaganda.

And the reason why Anshuz is willing to bear the cost and waste caused by the lack of performance is that on the one hand, he is full of confidence in himself and insufficient on the other hand. On the other hand, he does not have many choices. It is true that his family is a global giant, but his position in the field of performance management Far inferior to the sports industry, probably only ranked third to fifth in the whole meter, there are not many superstars signed, and there is still a big gap between the strongest SFX company.

They are reluctant to let go of the opportunity to accompany the potential superstars on the tour from the beginning to grow up. The demonstration effect to other artists is worth it. The parent company’s financial resources are sufficient to support the long-term patience of the performance agency, so these senior executives are more willing to coax Let yourself be some.

They coaxed themselves, and they coaxed them. At least before the World Cup theme song was sung in 1998, Song Ya didn't mind the sincere cooperation between the two sides, but if he really asked him to sing more than 100 shows in two years...

Then I have to say something else, my own net worth is still going to be a cow and a horse to make hard work and money...not worth it.

With this thought in mind, Song Ya dragged a stall over her body and closed her eyes to rest.

If he could fall asleep after a twelve-hour journey, it was already dark outside the porthole when he was pushed awake again.

"APLUS! Ah! Ah!"

Just out of the Rio Airport terminal, the fans of South Beauty who came to pick up the airport deafened and screamed and surrounded the group. Under the protection of Old Mike and others, Song Ya was squeezed like a difficult person in the ocean. Ye Xiaozhou.

This feels right, he smiled and waved, occasionally signing signatures from countless papers, notebooks and even clothes that stretched out in front of him.
