Chapter 408 Ticket Controversy

Chapter 408 Ticket Controversy

When Kurosawa Hikaru returned home, he went to take a shower as soon as possible.

After all, after playing outside all day, it was still a high-intensity sport like figure skating.

After cleaning himself, Kurosawa Hikaru returned to the room, picked up his cell phone, and browsed various letters.

The group chat of the hot girls group is as lively as ever.

PM8: 03 minutes, Blue Blue Beautiful Girl: “Has anyone got tickets to Master Zero Hour’s concert?”

Sato: "No."

Aoi: "I just wanted to grab tickets, but the system prompted me that the network was busy and asked me to try again... When I logged into the APP again to buy, it showed that the tickets were sold out. I thought it was stuck, so I tried many times. Still useless."

Hinata: "Who isn't...the whole army was wiped out?"

Hitomi: "Didn't Yuki sign a contract with Zero Hour Agency? Your manager, Ms. Igarashi, should be Zero Hour Master's manager, right? Can you ask her to get some tickets for everyone? It is said that there is a concert, a concert Performance organizers usually reserve internal tickets to invite various partners and friends to the performance.”

Yuki: "I'll give it a try...Miss Igarashi only left one ticket for me."

Blue and blue beautiful girl: "Yuki, don't go to Miss Igarashi. It's too expensive to ask for a ticket for everyone."

Kui: "Money is not an issue. As long as you have tickets, I can treat everyone to a show and cultivate their sentiments."

Blue Blue Beautiful Girl: "I just looked at the zero-hour fan group. It only lasted for 5 minutes. Regular tickets priced at 9,800 yen have already been sold to 30,000, and there are still no prices. The price is 19,800 yen." Some people are asking for VIP tickets for as much as 70,000 yuan.”

Yuki: "No way? Thirty thousand for a ticket?"

Blue Blue Beautiful Girl: "Really, people who like to listen to piano concerts are generally rich. Because many people are unwilling to sell, the price is rising sharply. If Yuki helps everyone get tickets, even if they are all ordinary tickets , are worth more than 200,000 yuan. The value of the tickets reserved by the organizer, at least the VIP tickets, can be doubled.”

Aoi: "Sorry, there's nothing I can do... More than two hundred thousand is enough for us to go out and play for many days."

More than 200,000 yen can already catch up with the monthly salary of an ordinary office worker.

Yamamoto: "Is Zero Hour so popular? According to this interpretation, doesn't it mean that if you grab his ticket, you will earn it?"

Because of the topic of tickets and the price, Yamamoto, who never liked talking in the group, couldn't sit still.

Blue Blue Beautiful Girl: "Zero Hour Master is not just an ordinary hit, he is a phenomenal influence. For this premiere, many fans flew all the way to Tokyo from France, the UK, and the United States. It is now on sale. 5 minutes, wait until before the show, the price will only be more terrifying. ”

These chat contents are not all, because it is now 8:32 pm, and the chat content is still at 8:06 pm.

When Kurosawa saw these group chats, he did not participate in them, but felt surprised.

While thinking about it, he exited the group chat and saw the group chat of the firm's partners again.

PM 8:01, Runa: "Great news! 2,200 tickets were sold out in 30 seconds."

Qianzuru: "The speed at which everyone grabbed tickets was so exaggerated that I didn't even get a ticket."

Runai: "Why are you trying to steal tickets from everyone? You are Adelina at zero hour. When the time comes, you will sit on the stage."

Chizuru: "Do I still want to go on stage?"

Runa: "I'm just kidding, I left you the best super VIP ticket, the first row in the center."

Chizuru: "(###Picture of angry cartoon character)"

Runa: "Don't be angry. On the day of the concert, Zero Hour is the star on stage, and you are the star off the stage."

Runa: I got a call, let’s not talk anymore. "

PM 8:07, Runa: "There is bad news. The PR team called and said that all fans on Twitter are complaining that there are too few tickets and they can't handle them... In order to buy tickets, everyone is already buying them from others. Tickets. And a screenshot of the chat just came out. A fan bought a super VIP ticket for 200,000 yuan from someone else. This was only obtained with the added price of the VIP ticket, which immediately exploded the comment area. "

Chizuru: "The Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is too small, with only 2,303 seats. Even if we add special seats, it won't be enough to satisfy so many Twitter fans."

Runa: "Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to think of a solution."

The group chat here is intermittent in time, and the situation is very different.

Fans are naturally worried about not being able to buy tickets... As for the organizers, ticket prices are confusing and supply exceeds demand, which is also a big problem.

PM8:32, zero hour: "What's going on now?"

After reading this information, Kurosawa Hikaru saw a more comprehensive picture of the situation. He was immediately dumbfounded and wanted to help.

Runa: "The situation is the same as what was said in the chat above. I am discussing countermeasures with the public relations team. Currently, they have two solutions. The first one is to add online broadcast and live broadcast to the on-site basis."

Runa: "But there is a drawback to doing this, that is, it can satisfy most fans, but it will offend fans who have taken the trouble to get tickets and those who bought tickets at high prices from others."

Runa: "The second countermeasure is to hold another concert on September 1st and broadcast it then. But the disadvantage is that other fans still have to wait a whole day to see it, and they will still give the Twitter comment section Exploded.”

Chizuru: "It's best to make a decision as soon as possible. The purchase price for ordinary tickets has risen to 50,000, VIP tickets are 115,000, and someone is bidding 410,000 for super VIP tickets."

Zero hour: "How can I help?"

Runa: "Just concentrate on preparing for the performance. Let's not talk anymore. I'm still on the phone with someone. I'll talk to you later."

At this point in the exchange of information, because she was busy, Kurosawa Hikaru could not continue to ask.

He knows that 8 o'clock tonight is the time when concert tickets go on sale, and he also knows that when big stars hold concerts, ticket prices will inevitably be subject to ticket speculation.

But what I never expected was that the ticket sales would cause such a big sensation, and that the tickets would be so horribly hyped.

While thinking about it, he exited the group chat and saw the message from Miki's junior schoolmate:

"Are you back home yet?"

"I may not see you the day after tomorrow."

"I didn't get a ticket. I raised the purchase price from 30,000 to 50,000, but no one was willing to sell me ordinary tickets..."

"It turns out you were speculating on people's votes."

Seeing this pitiful message, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly felt funny and replied.

Unlike group chats, once the private chat page is opened, it will be displayed as read.

He had promised Miki Baiyu before that he would never be unable to read it back in the future.

Senior Miki: "Senior, can you sell me a ticket? QAQ (poor crying expression)"

Text information on the Internet usually cannot represent the actual situation, but it can express personal emotions.

It was obvious that she really wanted to go to the concert.

"Don't cry, I'll get you a ticket."

Faced with her request for help, Kurosawa responded without hesitation.

After officially confessing and kissing, Miki-senpai has become his girlfriend... His girlfriend wants to watch his performance, how can he ask her to pay for the tickets.

Miki-senpai: "Thank you!!"

"It's difficult."

With her thanks, Kurosawa Hikari came back to his senses and felt a headache.

In fact, he just saw the group chat of the hot girls group, and he was originally thinking if he could ask Miss Runa to get some tickets for everyone.

You know, he is the lead actor and a member of the organizer. It is not easy to get a few tickets.

As a result, now, the issue of tickets has become so big that it's hard for him to open his mouth.

In addition, there is a serious problem, that is, this concert may indirectly lead to everyone meeting... that is, the five girlfriends face to face.

"I don't know if I can go there in the future."

While thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly thought of a question.

While operating his mobile phone, he just retreated to the desktop and opened the email function on his mobile phone. Without sending a message, he received a message from the future: "See you the day after tomorrow."

This message is very brief, but it is enough to show one thing. Sifengyuan has bought tickets in the future and is sharing the joy.

"It looks like she's going too."

Kurosawa Hikaru paused for a few seconds and said in relief.

It's normal to think about it. Looking at this from a future perspective, this is her boyfriend's first official performance. No matter how many difficulties and troubles there are, he still has to support and watch.

As for buying tickets, it won't be a problem at all for a rich man like this in the future.

Even if the super VIP tickets are priced at an exaggerated price, for the future, it will only be a small amount of money.

"I'll see you tomorrow." After thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru sent her a message back.

Tomorrow is Tuesday, and he has to work part-time as a tutor.

Although the first premiere is just around the corner, he really doesn't need to make too much preparation for the performance. He can just go to the office for rehearsal and preview that day.

…

Tokyo, the headquarters of Jiuye Bank, in the high-rise office.

"Okay, I will talk to my daughter about this when I get home, and I will contact you later."

A handsome man with neat short blue hair, a mature and aged appearance, and a little stubble, wearing a suit and tie, hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

As the phone hung up, his smile suddenly stopped and returned to calm.

This man, named Ninomiya Naoki, is surprisingly the father of Ninomiya Chizuru.

He raised his eyes and looked ahead. On the sofa area of ​​​​the office, a woman with long red hair tied up and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but she still couldn't hide her beauty, was sitting there in a suit and uniform making a phone call.

Not long after, the woman finished the phone call and walked to the desk.

She is very tall and has an outstanding temperament. Her name is Ninomiya Chie, and she is the mother of Ninomiya Chizuru.

Nehong has a tradition of taking her husband's surname, which was not the case with her original surname.

"Still the same phone number?"

Ninomiya Naoki waited until she came closer and said softly.

"This is the seventh call... 80% of the calls in the past two days are related to zero hours. Naoki, this zero hour seems to be more powerful than we expected. I heard from the customer that a regular ticket costs 40,000. , the most expensive tickets are hundreds of thousands.”

Ninomiya Chie nodded, walked to him, turned around, stood on tiptoe, sat on the desk, and looked at him with her hands behind her back.

"What's so great about him? No matter how popular he is, he's still an artist, but don't you look at what Qianzuru's life has become since she starred in that MV."

Ninomiya Naoki's attitude changed and he snorted coldly.

"Being an artist's girlfriend is indeed eye-catching, but being famous means influence and is a walking sign. I went to inquire about it and found that Zero Hour's backstage is very powerful. He is not an ordinary artist and has great potential."

Chie Ninomiya knows her husband's temper better than anyone else and said with a smile.

"You want to convince me to accept them together?"

Ninomiya Naoki looked up at her with sharp eyes.

"Now everyone around the world knows that she is Zero Hour's girlfriend. Even if you insist on breaking them up, if others want to pursue Qianzuru in the future, they will think that she is Zero Hour's ex-girlfriend and may be deterred. What's more, Qianzuru is already 28 years old this year, and if it drags on any longer..."

Ninomiya Chie is not afraid of him, she just expresses her own opinion.

"What do you want to say? If Qianzuru breaks up with him, no one will want her? Qianzuru is so beautiful and smart, let alone 28 years old, even if she is 38 or 48 years old, there will still be people chasing her."

Ninomiya Naoki interrupted her without any explanation.

"What I mean is that it's rare for Chizuru to find a boyfriend, and his conditions are not bad. He is not an ordinary person. He can give her a good life, so why not just follow her."

As the mother-in-law, although Chie Ninomiya has never met Zero Hour, she is very concerned about her daughter's affairs and has done a lot of research in the past two days.

"Is it a good life to be stared at by people all over the world?"

Even if what she said was ridiculous, Ninomiya Naoki's opinion remained unchanged.

He knows the influence and fame of Zero Hour, and it is not difficult to make money.

But this is not a question of more money or less, but a question of how to make money.

The biggest difference between artists and other industries is that public figures in front of the stage must perform public activities and appear in public to make money.

Perhaps if you become bigger and stronger in other industries, you will definitely attract attention and be widely known, but in most cases, you will operate in secret.

"Naoki, how long do you want to be your daughter's slave?"

Discovering that he had completely lost his usual calm thinking and judgment of "there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests" when it came to his encounter with his daughter, Chie Ninomiya's face darkened.

"Isn't what I said the truth?"

Seeing that she was angry, Ninomiya Naoki raised his eyes and looked at each other, arguing.

"..."

Ninomiya Chie's eyes were cold.

She also loves her daughter and likes to take care of her daughter's affairs, but in her opinion, her husband has really gone too far this time.

It was clear that the person her daughter had found was excellent, but her attitude was always firm and there was no room for changing her mind.

"Ring ring ring!"

While they were arguing, the cell phone suddenly rang.

"Forget it, let's wait until we meet with Zero Hour later."

Chie Ninomiya lowered her head and glanced at her phone, then jumped off her desk and walked to the sofa area again.

"Ring ring ring!"

Before she could reach the sofa area, the cell phone in front of Ninomiya Naoki also rang.

"Tsk."

Another call came, and Ninomiya Naoki curled his lips impatiently.

"President Takei, good evening."

Then, when he saw the name of the caller, he picked up the phone and said hello with a smile.

As Adelina's parents and executives of Jiuye Bank, those who dare to call them to ask for tickets are either prominent figures or long-term business partners.

As for people whose positions are below them and whose status is not as high as theirs, they simply don’t have the guts... or should be said to be unqualified.

…

At 9:30 pm, an hour and a half has passed since the tickets were sold.

Group chat among partners at Zero Hour Firm.

Runa: "The countermeasures have been decided. Based on the live performance, we will broadcast it."

Chizuru: "Will it be broadcast on YouTube?"

Runa: "The broadcast platform is yet to be determined. If the broadcast offends some fans, then we will maximize the benefits and wait for bidding from various platforms."

Zero hour: "Bidding?"

Runa: "The influence of this premiere has already been revealed, and the current attention on Twitter is exaggerated. Such a large amount of traffic is undoubtedly a piece of fat for major platforms, and it must be grabbed. "

Runa: "This kind of business activity is complicated to talk about and can't be explained clearly in typing. Just concentrate on preparing for the performance and you won't make any mistakes."

Zero hour: "OK."

Kurosawa thought for a while and didn't ask any more questions.

When the firm was established, they decided on their respective responsibilities.

He acts as an artist who leads the agency's rise during zero hours.

As the agent and boss, Runa is responsible for overseeing all matters of the firm.

Regarding various things in the entertainment industry and many matters related to performances, he doesn't have the time or attention to care too much.

After all, he has a lot of things to do besides being Zero Hour.

"Text me when you're done."

After thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru sent a private message to Igarashi Runa.

"How many tickets do you need over there?"

After a while, Igarashi Runa replied.

"Are you done?"

"After the tickets are on sale, we are now changing strategies and operations. We will be busy before the show ends."

"How did you know I wanted a ticket?"

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised. The message just now was the first message he sent to Igarashi Runa today.

In the end, he didn't say anything, but his purpose was guessed.

"I still don't understand you? As for Miss Ichinose, I have already given her a ticket. The seats are quite far away from those of Chizuru, so I won't let them sit together."

"If possible, I would like 7, do you have them?"

Seeing how smart she was and how well she arranged things, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, I reserved 100 tickets in advance."

"Is this much reserved?"

"These tickets are for partners, the talents I plan to recruit, and Chizuru and her parents. Chizuru's request for tickets should be very serious, after all, everyone knows that she is Zero Time's girlfriend."

"Are there any other considerations?"

After being reminded by this, Kurosawa Hikaru remembered that there was such a thing.

Not many people know that he is Zero Time, except for Xiao Yuki, Shifengyuan Mirai, and Junior Miki.

Because Miss Runa is very smart, she prepared tickets for Xiao Yuki in advance, and Shifengyuan Mirai bought tickets, leaving only Junior Miki to ask him for tickets.

In contrast, Ninomiya Chizuru, as Adelina, has too many people who know her.

It seems that Miss Runa is really experienced as an agent and has considered things very carefully.

"I'll give you the tickets tomorrow... These tickets are not all super VIP. What is the relationship between you and the person you want to give the tickets to? Is it important?"

"One is very important, and the others are just ordinary friends."

After thinking about it, Kurosawa Hikaru replied.

He wants so many tickets, most of which are for those in the hot girl group.

In fact, he only wanted to give it to Aoi and Ai, because they had a better relationship with Yuki and took better care of her.

But since he had already issued the tickets, he couldn't neglect one while neglecting the other, so he simply arranged for all of them and gave everyone a favor, so that everyone would take better care of Yuki in the future.

"Then 1 super VIP ticket and 6 ordinary tickets?"

Igarashi Runa didn't ask too much, just asked.

"Yes."

Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and confirmed that it was correct.
