God of Life

Chapter 24

"Chairman, the venue is done!"

Wang Yan was energized, "Oh? Where?"

"Bigbang just finished a concert there on the 12th of this month, and the 23rd of next month is the venue Luo Zhixiang booked, so the main stage was not demolished, so we can use it for one day!

Haruhiro is excited, and Wang Yan is even happier.

"Will it be time to remove that seat?"

"Just in time!"

Haruhiro patted his chest and vouched for it, then asked, "What about our backup plan to go to Hainan?"

Wang Yan mused for a moment, a little uncertain of what to do.

The Mercedes Benz Center is good for everything, but bad for one thing - it's too small.

Open three sides of the stage, remove the seats, and at most 20,000 people will fit in.

However, the Passion Frenzy card has a coverage radius of 300 meters!

Chapter 300

The total floor area of the Bird's Nest is only 254,000 square meters, so a little comparison will show how evil this card is.

What's worse, the cards don't place any limits on the number of people they can cover.

Theoretically, one million people could be crammed into 270,000 square meters, and the density of audiences at outdoor music festivals has always been particularly exaggerated, with no need for designed seating.

Of course, a range that large makes no practical sense at all.

The area that the stage can effectively cover is very limited, and when it is 100 meters away, no matter how good the sound is, no matter how big the screen is, the experience will not be too good.

Without experience, the probability of getting high is very low, which is tantamount to wasted effort.

So Wang Yan's ambition is not big, a piece of 20,000 sq. ft. or so would be perfect, with an audience of 40,000 to 50,000, and then apply for a fireworks show.

The Mercedes Benz Center is an indoor arena, so it's not fun to have big bared flowers.

But is it really too late to do it in Hainan?

After a moment's hesitation, Wang Yan decided to wait.

As bold as the man, so productive is the land!

"Hold on, I'll contact Tiger, I'll meet you at the club in half an hour."

Wang Yan put on his clothes and hurried downstairs, but Dave was already waiting at the front door of the hotel with his limousine.

On the way, Tiger took the initiative to contact him without using Wang Yan's phone.

"Wang'er, Chunguang told me, I'll tell you about the situation in Hainan, you decide for yourself.

I have contacted the Sanya government, who is very supportive and willing to help in any way they can.

As for the venue, there is an event area just below the Four Seasons Resort Begonia Bay dedicated to the music festival.

The original plan of the RM government in Sanya was to hold the first Sanya International Music Festival next year to create a domestic pilgrimage base for electronic music.

Now only the main stage has been built, and the ancillary facilities in the plan, such as the VIP play area, market area, etc., are not yet under construction.

So the reception is not perfect, but the main stage is absolutely OK.

It is the only one that can be filled with 200,000 people, and the main stage area can easily accommodate 60,000 people.

Normally, it would be too late to sell tickets to attract that many viewers, but the Sanya government is willing to fully support it by launching a campaign to promote the island to all tourism companies.

With a total of 300,000 visitors per day on Hainan Island, three days of promotion would be enough time to cover millions of tourists.

In addition, all administrative approvals are green-lighted and the government is willing to put on a fireworks show.

Whether it's in time is up to the experts.

That's the general situation, what do you think?"

What do I think?

"I'll go see for myself!"

Wang Dashao tried to suppress his excitement and said in a soft voice, "When will the UMF experts arrive? I'll have someone book the tickets right away."

"They should be in Shanghai at 10:00, then you wait for me at the airport, we received someone, and fly directly to Sanya in the afternoon."

A quick man to do a quick thing, Tiger immediately decided to accompany.

At 9:30, they met in the VIP lobby of the airport and started discussing the details.

At 10 o'clock, the UMF behind-the-scenes team arrived on time.

To be precise, it was the front-runner of the behind-the-scenes team.

A total of four people, not to work, just need to look at the stage, give one word to make a conclusion - YESORNO, Wang Yan will pay $ 240,000.

DaShao is not short of money, he just wants to hear the YES.

A few simple pleasantries, in the eyes of a few foreigners looking retarded, take a technical expert and head straight to Sanya.

The rest of the team didn't stay idle and went to the Mercedes Center to inspect the venue.

After getting off the plane, the Shangri-La Hotel limousine Dave had arranged in advance was waiting at the VIP parking lot, dragged the group and headed straight to Haitang Bay.

It so happened that 3.5 kilometers south of the venue was the Shangri-La Hotel in Haitang Bay.

Along the way, Wang Yan chatted with the technical expert named Mars, who turned out to be a technical geek.

When he arrived at the site, the district government's staff was already waiting there.

"Welcome to Mr. Wang's visit ......"

After talking nonsense, Mars simply walked around the main stage, looked at the steel frame, and shrugged to Wang Yan: "Good design, good stage foundation, but unfortunately, too bad."

Fuguiguo frowned tightly, "Missed what?"

"Now only the electrical system and security system is readily available, the installation of the LED screen will take fifteen days, the dance lighting will be even slower ......

In addition, Monitor, FOH, return audio, amplifier cabinets, power supply cabinets and other specialized equipment will have to be flown in, and the earliest I can call now and get here is the 27th, and we have to finish tuning the assembly on the 30th. ......

Wang, give it up, it's not going to be in time."

Wang ignored Mars and relayed the whole story to the government, then calmly asked, "If I host the festival here, will you be able to finish building the stage by the 30th?"

The leader beckoned to a technician and asked in a low voice.

The young man looked pale, and Wang Yan's heart sank.

Mars could not understand Chinese, but could read expressions, and saw a sneer on his face.

"Wang, I think we can go back to Mordor ......"

But Wang Yan still didn't give up.

After thinking about it, he added at the technician, "I will hire another professional team from Mordor to work shifts with you, and I will pay all the expenses and triple the overtime pay."

When the technician heard this, he immediately nodded his head desperately.

"The main problem is the shortage of manpower, we have too few workers here who can do this kind of professional work, and with another team, I guarantee the work will be delivered on time!"

Mars frowned at the sudden relaxation and muttered impatiently, "Geez, what are you all so happy about? Wang, I urge you to calm down, you don't understand the difficulty of this matter!"

"No."

Wang laughed and responded with confidence, "It'syouDon'tknow,WhatistheChinesefast!"

Mars was blindsided on the spot, feeling as if he were a foreign mallet.

Even though it was a phrase of bud stubble English, it cheered up all the Chinese present.

"Yes, you don't even know what Chinese speed is!"

......

After an hour of driving back to the city center and talking with government officials, Wang Yan finally made his decision...

Have your music festival right here!

In the morning, I was in Mordor for the opening ceremony, and in the afternoon, I flew in, which seemed like a real toss-up.

Most of my friends didn't understand.

Especially the extra cost of this was simply thrilling.

Wang Yan didn't explain, he just quietly started to spend money.

The first thing is to ask Zhang Yiyan to help coordinate five chartered planes from Mordor to Sanya on the afternoon of the 31st, departing in batches.

One Airbus 320 can accommodate 160 passengers and costs 400,000.

One Boeing 747 can accommodate 400+ passengers at a cost of 950,000 RMB.

In total, they applied for two 747s and three 320s, which cost 3 million RMB to pull 1300 people at a time, but they still couldn't fit.

Some of the employees and anchors of Wang Ting Entertainment had to take a civilian flight to Sanya in advance.

Next, in order to accommodate so many people, Wang Yan emptied the rooms of Haitang Bay Minsheng Westin Hotel, Shangri-La Resort, JW Marriott and other luxury hotels, and booked a small 1000 sets of rooms.

It would probably accommodate more than 2,000 people and cost nearly 5 million.

A large fireworks show, paid for by Wang Yan's government, cost 500,000 yuan a minute, for a total of 12 minutes, just covering the last three songs of the festival.

Another 6 million went out.

After the festival was over, there was a small carnival party, used to eat and drink and make friends.

The main wine used was champagne, 400 bottles of A of Spades Platinum, 400 bottles of Belle Epoque 2007, 200 bottles of Belle Epoque Rose, about 6.5 million out.

The wine, beer and whiskey add up to 1.5 million.

The budget for mineral water is 1 million, the food is 1 million, and the service fee is 15%, for a total of 11.5 million.

Not even counting the cost of the festival itself, the budget had dried up to over 26 million.

Dave was twitching at the corner of his eye as he kept score.

As it turns out, the festival itself costs nothing.

The Sanya government waived the venue fee, publicity fee, equipment usage fee, etc., and approved an additional 3 million in subsidies to extend the fireworks show to 18 minutes.

As a result, Wang Yan only needed to pay for UMF's services and the DJ's appearance fee.

UMF's offer was $1.5 million + 10% of total ticket proceeds.

Wang raised the price to $3 million, and no further mention of a cut was made.

Wang Yan went back to the online ticketing company, Dalmac.com, and threw out the ticketing work with a package price of $5 million - ticket inspection was naturally undertaken by the district government.

With the ability to use money to push all the way across, Wang got a 100% cut of the box office.

Simply unprecedented.

Tiger was very speechless, covering his forehead and sighing.

"What do you need a 100% share of the box office for? Take $1.5 million for a 10% share of the box office, even if the average price of tickets is as high as $1,500 a piece, you have to sell 60,000 tickets to cover the $1.5 million in rice, and it's even more ridiculous to give $5 million to Barley.com. ......."

Wang Yan just smiled, "I'm only short of time, not money, don't worry, I won't lose."

Tiger didn't believe me, "How can I not lose? With seven days left, who do you sell the tickets to?"

Wang Yan didn't reply and patted Brother Tiger's shoulder, "I'll go back to Mordor right away, so it's your job to keep an eye on things here."

"Okay, I owe you!"

The company's main business is to provide services to the public.

"OK."

Wang Yan nodded and headed back without stopping.

It was already after 9:00 p.m. when he got to the club, and everyone was waiting.

One by one, they greeted each other and chatted about the venue, and then Wang Yan asked about the most important DJ.

"Xiao Guan, how's the contact going?"

Guan Zhixiang pulled out a table: "Last year's top 30 DJs, Little Martin, Marshmallow, Buddha, Sango, Dumb Donkey, Aoki are all confirmed without a slot, the rest of them, it should just be a matter of price."

Hatsumoto was a bit worried: "There are still too many people left, how to pick?"

Wang Yan thought about it and asked the nightclub curators, "Is there anyone you must hire? Everyone recommend it."

Zhixiang Guan blurted out, "A god Avicii!"

Jian Wu hesitated for a while and recommended a combination: "The Belgian brothers must be invited, right? King of the scene!"

Zhang Kai interjected, "I quite like the style of the smoker."

Liu Yu was concise: "Uncle Tie!"

In the end, the first newcomers all joined in on the fun: "I especially liked Alanwalker's new version of Faded that came out late last year, but it's a shame he didn't make it into the top 30. ......"

"That's nothing. Just invite me."

Sister Xinxin's face must be given, even if it's just a shrimp, so what?

How could Wang Yan have never imagined that the original intention of satisfying the first new wish would result in a bunch of rotten BGMs in China? ......

Scum, are you ready for the gale?

Tremble in your Faded!

......

The new lady smiled happily and asked with great interest, "What about the rest of the candidates?"

Wang Yan waved a big hand: "Turn on the speakers, everyone listen to the songs together, today we'll set the DJ and performance tracks."

Guan Zhixiang was more familiar with the classics of those DJs, and turned on the stereo to find them one by one.

More than a dozen people got together and voted once for each song they listened to.

The majority will obey the majority, and it's not a dilly.

As a rule, each DJ plays a maximum of five songs, fifteen or sixteen minutes in length.

In the end, the total length of the show was limited to about two and a half hours.

So thirteen or fourteen DJs would be enough.

The first 15 minutes were for warming up, the last 15 minutes were for cooling down, and the two hours in between were for Wang Yan's crazy stuffing moments.

In the end, there were 12 hits and 3 alternatives, totaling more than 50 songs.

With Wang Yan's current aesthetic taste, 80% of the songs were classics, while the remaining 20% were too hardcore to be accepted.

But live is not the same as listening to a CD, the more hardcore the more exciting the live electronica is.

The more hardcore it is, the more exciting it is. It's easy to shake.

Anyway, if all is said and done, this is definitely a show that will be remembered in history.

At 3:00 a.m., after the song selection process was over, Xiao Guan began to ask for people with old age.

The most expensive Belgian brother is $1.5 million, the hardest is $1.2 million, and last year's king of the job, Calvin, offered $950,000.

The average price for a whole show in a nightclub in Scotland is over 400,000 dollars, but in our case, 15 minutes of playing is double .......

Shenhou Wang waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

"The big difference is fine. They may make money, but I'll never lose."

Everyone thought that Wang Yan was talking about publicity effects and off-site earnings, but little did they know that Dog was literally talking about it.

This campaign is only a loss if you don't make half a billion dollars!

After 20 minutes of back and forth tugging, a deal was struck.

Fourteen DJs were included in the package for $8 million, and a Norwegian singer, Aisling, was included to sing a live version of Faded.

In addition, airfare, food and lodging, Royal Court Entertainment all inclusive.

At this point, the preliminary preparations for the birthday party were almost complete.

Everyone lazily laid down in the third floor rest area, rested for a while, and then suddenly began to wonder.

"Wang'er, how do you plan to get your money back?"

"Yeah, from what Tiger said, you want to raise the ticket price?"

"How do I sell that ticket?"

"Shouldn't we start promoting it?"

Wang Yan tossed all day, even more tired, slumped in the couch like a salted fish, still selling the story.

"Mountain people have their own tricks."

"Shit!"

They all raised a middle finger.

Everyone was exhausted and soon dispersed to sleep.

......

The club was not badly decorated, with many rooms on the 4th floor, large and soft waterbeds, but no girls to accompany the bed.

On the morning of the 25th, Wang Yan opened his eyes, spent 10 minutes relieving the strange symptoms of not having a lady in bed with him, and then started working again without stopping.

Today, we have to identify the guests.

The ones who are particularly close, directly send a group text message.

"On the 31st at 8:58 am, Speedy Alliance opening ceremony. Afternoon charter flight to Sanya, do a birthday party, the hotel has been booked, bring a brain to the line - Wang Yan."

A few seconds later, the phone started dinging and ringing non-stop.

Wang Yan ignored it for now, then looked for Wang Yunxi.

"Send a company internal notice, the 31st, all headquarters staff holiday, to participate in the Wang Ting Sheng ceremony electro music festival.

Batches of departure, charter flights to Sanya, a hotel room for two, free tickets for employees, let the management to do statistics and organization.

In addition, according to the anchor monthly water allocation of additional tickets.

50,000 monthly flow of two invitation quota.

100,000 three, 200,000 four, and so on, try to invite Big Brother.

Sort of an offline reunion activity, fan benefits, but airfare and accommodation on your own.

Later I'll go to the platform to talk about the conditions of the live broadcast, you hurry up and make a publicity plan out, to try to expand the influence to the whole network, but do not do it in my name, I have another publicity ideas."

When Wang Yan began to contact the major platforms, the brothers of the Speedy Alliance got up for dinner and saw, stunned, that the president was there to cheat money.

"It's no fun to talk about feelings, I'm short of money."

"The country under the age of 30 years old famous rich second generation will be present 300 to number, more than 20 first-line stars to participate, the world's top 10 DJs for the first time in the country's collective ...... meshes what brand?"

"Stop, stop, stop. Why are you talking about feelings again? Landlords don't have any surplus food!"

"Exclusive broadcast rights? Don't even think about it!"

"10 million is less, you sign a fat anchor who gives tens of millions a year ......"

"Cash-strapped? OK, then you give me a 2-point split discount, and 10 cover recommendations, I'm justified, right?"

A flicker of a circle, it's true that the cash didn't get caught, but it didn't lose anything.

The Wang Ting Entertainment on the fish platform, there are currently 50 million monthly water, two points is 1 million a month, 12 million a year.

Other guilds certainly can't guarantee that the flow will keep growing, but what the rich brother is best at, isn't it just brush brush brush brush?

Get a cut of the offer, it's a bloodbath!

And the more you go, the more you earn.

A big circle, and finally the live were licensed to the fish, tiger, cat and dragon four platforms, they also have to sell efforts to help promote ...... are good people na!

When the show was over, everyone was so impressed that they couldn't stop talking.

Brother Xu couldn't help but sputter, "Where did you get 20 first-rate stars?"

Wang Yan glanced over and said righteously, "You and Sister An are going to invite them."

Poof!

Brother Xu's old blood was unreserved.

When Wang Yan turned his head, he saw Jian Wu, who was laughing, and grabbed a strong man: "Brother Wu, don't just watch the fun, invite more friends. You're responsible for a tenth of those 300 rich kids."

Shit!

Don't you have any shame?

It was no use spouting off, and in the afternoon everyone went off to mobilize the crowd and call on their friends.

Wang Yan, on the other hand, gave those unfamiliar second-generation people a personal call.

Wang Siming definitely want to invite, not how good the relationship is, the main thing is this product money.

The phone call was made, and Wang was very respectful.

"I'm sure I'll be there on your birthday! If you don't invite me, I'll be in a hurry!"

Wang Yan laughed softly, "Then help me transfer a micro-blog in passing to publicize it, OK?"

Wang Siming laughed: "Thief Ki Ba OK!"

Next was Mr. Jiang Xin Jiang.

"If you need any help, don't be polite to me."

After that was Zhang Dang.

Since he didn't know her very well, Dog engaged in a set of seduction tactics.

"The main reason is that I want to take this opportunity to chat with you, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Zhang Dang was beaming: "I've long wanted to be close to you, Wang Shen, see you on the 31st, be sure to drink two glasses!"

The rest of Zuo Ying, Liu Sing, Zhang Kanyang, Big and Small Wang, etc., Dog is really out of reach, only to see if the brothers give force.

Anyway, they will definitely try their best.

On the other hand, it is really a good opportunity to expand one's network.

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

It's the first time I've ever been in a position to do so.

The first thing you need to do is to tell the world that you've grown up.

Woof Dog: No, you're not! Go surf!

Wang Yan: Well, then, let's wave in a grown-up way for the world to see.

Mr. Wang: I'll say a few words about the following ......

Ahem, stop, here's the serious text-...

Today I want to tell you something: I've spent about 80 million dollars on a birthday party for myself.

The theme is an electrifying party, and I've invited more than ten of the world's top 100 DJs, including WW and Tiesto ......Aivcii, to perform on stage, and I've decided to set off 10 million fireworks to help celebrate the occasion.

The original intention was just a small gathering of friends, but @WangSiming advised me that it would be a pity to have such a rare musical event behind closed doors.

I thought about it for two nights and decided to open it to the public.

In order to establish a certain threshold, the price of the tickets is tentatively set at 3,000 a piece.

But I don't want to use my birthday to get rich, so all the proceeds from the tickets will be donated to @ProjectHope.

If you have 50 million, you can donate 50 million, but if you only have 5,000, I will make up the 50 million myself.

I'll make up for the 50 million myself. This is to save a little reputation for my unintentional display of wealth.

The link to purchase tickets online is as follows: www.().com

March 31, 8:00 p.m., Sanya Haitang Bay, I invite you all to listen to music, jump in the wild, and watch fireworks].

Wang Yan's attention has been very high, and the number of live fans is large, the soft article just sent out, the comments forwarded to explode.

If a different person said he spent 80 million on his birthday, the netizens would have to use urine to yuck him in the face.

The first is that it's a good idea to use a lot of money.

The first batch of comments were all brushed with shock.

[Oooh, the gods are finally open for business, ...... Fuck!

How much? Will you correct the wrong number again?

I'm going soft. .......

[Wang Shen Beep Wang Shen Bully! If you don't show up, you'll get big news!

What family? 80 million for a birthday? I don't give a shit about ......, I can't spray it, they want to donate to Project Hope ......].

[Ward God! What a lineup of immortals!

A God Smoker Uncle Iron! Poverty made me shed tears of pain, and I could only shake my head in a country bar to the accompaniment of a prune ......].

I can't afford to go to ......].

Not surprisingly, the hotspot instantly made it to the top of the list, and then soared upward from the 70+ position.

Wang Siming saw someone @ himself, and then looked at Wang Yan's Weibo, and became autistic again.

I did promise to retweet you, but you didn't say you'd step on me to show off your wealth!

Since the birth of the Internet, there has been a proliferation of online sand sculpting to show off one's wealth.

Today is the top of the list.

Wang Yan did this thing, you say he was showing off his wealth, but when you look at it closely, you feel wrong, with a strange smell of positive energy.

You say he is not showing off his wealth?

Are you blind?

Spending $80 million on a wild outdoorsy hopping trip is a human endeavor?

The first time I saw it, I thought it would be a good idea for me to take a look at it.

[Looking forward to it! I'll be there on the 31st to wish the dog a happy birthday!

If you call yourself a woof dog, why should I be polite to you?

Disgust you and relieve my inner melancholy ......

With his retweets, as well as Guo Xiaosi, Yang Mi, Guo Biting and other stars of the An system, the heat exploded more and more rapidly.

In less than an hour, the whole internet ate this big melon.

I listen to all kinds of music: classical, folk, house, electronic, hip-hop, rock and roll, and my language range spans Japan, Korea, UK, USA, Spain ......

If you're interested, in a few chapters I'll recommend some electronic music, which is quite catchy in the car.
