Chapter 974 1074. Summer Concert (Part 1)
Far away in Xiangnan, Xie Na, who was discussing songs with her boyfriend, suddenly sneezed several times in a row. Seeing this, her boyfriend immediately stopped what he was doing and asked about Xie Na's well-being.
"It doesn't matter. Those guys must have scolded me behind my back." Xie Na rubbed his nose very manly and said, "Let's continue to create. I think writing lyrics is so interesting now."
I don't know if it was Nie Wei's complaints in his heart that caused Xie Na, who was thousands of miles away, to sneeze several times in a row. Anyway, Nie Wei was fully devoted to creation at this moment.
Most of the fruit plate was eaten by Shu Chang. The girl was lying on her back on the massage chair beside her, feeling very full.
When Nie Wei finished writing the lyrics, he looked back and saw Shu Chang's half-dead look. He felt distressed and happy: "Don't force yourself when you are full."
"But fruits are not fresh after being left for a long time. It's time to waste them." Shu Chang rubbed his stomach and explained in a low voice.
Even though she has married Nie Wei, a world-renowned tycoon, Shu Chang still hasn't lost the frugal habits she developed since childhood. For example, she never leaves any food or food, and she doesn't overly pursue new styles of clothes and bags.
Nie Wei sometimes really wants Shu Chang to change this good habit.
"Have you finished writing the song?" Shu Chang touched her belly and asked Nie Wei as she put down her pen.
Nie Wei shook his head: "How can it be finished so quickly? I just finished the lyrics and need to revise them. I only have a rough idea of the melody. It will take at least two or three days to complete it. I will have to ask Ma Dong to come over. After all, it's a chorus, and it involves the lyrics. I don't care, but I have to see which sentence Ma Dong can sing."
"I thought I could hear it right away." Shu Chang was a little disappointed. She also liked listening to songs and singing. She liked the songs written by Nie Wei the most, so she was particularly looking forward to it.
"Don't worry, I've been working at home these days. I'll tell you as soon as I'm done. I guarantee that you'll be the first person to hear this song besides me." Nie Wei promised with a smile.
Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, he doesn't need to go to the company in person for many tasks. Even if some key documents need to be signed, he can ask the secretary to send them directly to the villa. Moreover, there is a professional recording studio in the villa, which is definitely the world's top equipment. Nie Wei doesn't need to go to Huayi's recording studio at all.
The reason why he was in Huayi's recording studio before was mainly because Nie Wei didn't want his home to be exposed to the camera, so he chose to record the program in the company.
Three days later, Nie Wei's new song was completed, and Shu Chang became the first listener of this song. Since then, Shu Chang has added another song to his favorite song list.
Seven days later, "Infinite Challenge" was recorded for the third time.
During this period, Ma Dong and Nie Wei had been in contact, wanting to inquire about the new song. After all, there was only half a month left before the summer concert, and Ma Dong was anxious.
But Nie Wei just didn't say it, and had to wait until the third recording to announce it, so Ma Dong came to Huayi's recording studio early that day to wait.
Nie Wei arrived at the company ten minutes later. Before he could greet Ma Dong when he entered the recording studio, the latter pulled him and asked him to play the finished music quickly.
"Nie Wei, I'm old. If I can't remember the lyrics, you can't blame me if I forget the lyrics on the stage and affect the performance." Ma Dong reminded Nie Wei as he watched Nie Wei insert the USB drive into the device.
This was a shot of prevention for Nie Wei. In fact, performing on the same stage with Nie Wei, other team members envied Ma Dong, but only Ma Dong himself knew how much pressure this was.
"Relax, the lyrics are not difficult." Nie Wei smiled and comforted Ma Dong.
And what Nie Wei said was indeed the truth. The lyrics of this song are really not difficult, and many of them are repeated words and sentences.
As Nie Wei pressed the play button, a deep-voiced boy sang a prelude in a cappella style that made people want to follow the rhythm. After a few seconds, the sound of finger snapping joined in, and after a few seconds, there were crisp drum beats. Until the seventeenth second, there was a sudden roar like a roller coaster, rushing from the ground to the sky, and the song officially began at the moment the roar ended.
Ma Dong subconsciously shook his head to the music for four minutes, and he didn't come back to his senses until the music stopped.
When Ma Dong left the recording studio that day, he had a smile on his face, and this smile lasted all day, letting everyone know that Ma Dong was in a good mood.
On August 1, the "Infinite Challenge" summer concert officially started selling tickets, and it was announced that all tickets for the concert would be invested in charity.
At 9 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the online ticket sales and offline ticket sales channels were opened at the same time.
Because the venue is the Workers' Stadium, a total of 58,000 tickets will be sold for this summer concert, 50,000 tickets will be sold online, and 8,000 tickets will be sold at the offline ticket office.
Almost within five minutes of the online ticket sales channel being opened, the best 500 VIP tickets worth 1,688 were snapped up, and then the tickets were sold continuously, refreshing every few seconds, and hundreds of tickets were sold. In just two hours, half of the 50,000 tickets sold online had been sold.
There was also a long queue outside the offline ticket office, with a long queue of nearly 2,000 people from the entrance of the Workers' Stadium to the sidewalk outside the street.
Thirty policemen and security guards were guarding the entrance of the Workers' Stadium. With so many people, they were also afraid of any stampede or conflict.
Finally, 58,000 tickets were sold out in just three days. At least on the Stars Entertainment side, except for a portion of the reserved free tickets, they no longer had any tickets in stock.
In response, the media only gave a side story that "Infinite Challenge Concert Ticket Sales Are Still Hot" and even reported it. After all, the summer concert of "Infinite Challenge" is not held once or twice. The first time the ticket sales exceeded 10,000 was worthy of the media's special mention, but every time it was sold out, the media and the public gradually got used to it.
On the contrary, the summer concert tickets of "Infinite Challenge" were not sold out, so the media reported it extensively.
For this performance, Nie Wei was very determined to pick out a few girls from Huayi's trainees as dancers, and Zhou Duoduo was naturally among them. The little girl knew it well, but the fact that she was chosen by Nie Wei still caused a sensation in Class B.
Because Zhou Duoduo had just been promoted from Class C to Class B, she was originally a trainee who was rising very fast. This time, she was selected by Nie Wei as a dancer right after she was promoted to Class B, which naturally caused a lot of heated discussion.
Fortunately, Nie Wei was not stupid enough to choose Zhou Duoduo alone from Class B, but also selected her friends Mu Han and Huang Ting into the dance team. Otherwise, Zhou Duoduo might be envied by those trainees.
In this way, Zhou Duoduo, Mu Han and Huang Ting have also been under a lot of pressure recently. Wherever they go, there are many jealous eyes staring at them.
Zhou Duoduo and others were not used to it at first, but later they gradually didn't care. The three of them comforted themselves and felt that this was a psychological tempering before entering the industry.
"These three girls are confident. Do they feel that they can debut?" Nie Wei couldn't help laughing after learning from Luo Kai that the three girls had exposed their thoughts.
However, their confidence is not without reason. During several assessments, Nie Wei has paid attention to Zhou Duoduo and her two friends. These three girls have great potential in terms of appearance and business level.
What they lack now is training. As long as they can maintain this speed of improvement, there is a great possibility that the three of them will be members of the company's next girl group.
On August 10, a group of people began to gather at the entrance of the Workers' Stadium at around 8 o'clock in the morning. By noon, there were already tens of thousands of people waiting at the entrance of the Workers' Stadium.
And these people naturally have the same purpose, which is to wait for the "Infinite Challenge" summer concert that will start tonight.
Speaking of which, this year's summer concert is really rushed, because August 11 is the beginning of autumn. It can be said that this year's "Infinite Challenge" summer concert was held at the end of this summer.
The tens of thousands of people who came early in the morning are basically all members and guests of the Infinite Challenge group who participated in the show this year, among which Nie Wei has the most fans.
At first glance, there is a group of men and women wearing white T-shirts gathered together. These are Nie Wei's fans. They are easy to find among tens of thousands of people, because their lineup is always more than 2,000 people, and they are all gathered together, just like a regular army, which makes the fans of other idols look like scattered soldiers.
The most striking contrast is that when the media interview camera passes by, the fans of other idols just cheer and raise their own idols' fan cards.
But when it is Nie Wei's fans' turn, they look at the camera and immediately call out the theater slogan tacitly. Obviously, the number of people is the largest among all fan groups, but the slogan is indeed the most uniform. More than 2,000 people shouting a slogan in unison, the scene is so shocking.
Other fans are also envious and begin to learn to support Nie Wei's fans, but tacit understanding cannot be cultivated in a short time, so they basically learn the fur and can't shout out the momentum of Nie Wei's fans.
At noon, with the appearance of the first nanny car, the enthusiasm of the fans also reached a new peak.
Because the idol they were waiting for finally appeared.
Why did they come to the stadium gate at 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning? Wasn't it just to be able to see their idol from a distance?
Nie Wei arrived near the entrance of the Workers' Stadium at 12:30, and saw his fans waiting at the door from a distance. In less than two seconds after Nie Wei recognized them, Nie Wei's fans also recognized Nie Wei's nanny car. Everyone immediately began to hold up fan nameplates and cheered Nie Wei's support slogans.
Nie Wei was very moved.
He knew very well that these fans must have waited for him here for a long time, just to cheer him up from a distance. Nie Wei received this kind of heart and was also moved.
"Brother Luo Kai, ask someone to buy 3,000 bottles of ice drinks, and buy enough hamburgers and bread to send to my fans." This is all Nie Wei can do. In his opinion, this is not enough to repay one ten-thousandth of the heart of this group of sincere fans.
Luo Kai nodded, and did not say that Nie Wei was wasting money. In his opinion, Nie Wei should do this, and it is precisely because of this that the relationship between Nie Wei and his fans is so firm.
You know, the only star in China whose fan club has exceeded one million paying members is Nie Wei.
Nie Wei did not ask the driver to stop the nanny car, but drove directly into the underground parking lot of the stadium. It was not because he was afraid that the fans would see him getting excited and unable to control the situation. Nie Wei was still very confident in his own fans. He was afraid of fans from other clubs. You know, with Nie Wei's popularity, it is impossible that there are only more than 2,000 fans of Nie Wei at the scene. Among those fans of other clubs, it is estimated that 80% of them like Nie Wei.
If Nie Wei showed up rashly and caused other fans to lose their temper, it would be troublesome.
This was not the first time that Nie Wei came to the Workers' Stadium to participate in the "Summer Concert". Nie Wei had an experience before, and because Huayi's family New Year's Eve concert was also held here before 2008, Nie Wei was not unfamiliar with this place.
As soon as Nie Wei's nanny car arrived at the underground parking lot, a staff member who had been waiting for a long time came up to greet him, and then took Nie Wei to the dressing room to prepare for the recording.
When Nie Wei arrived backstage, all the members of the Infinite Challenge team had already arrived. The guests such as Yu Quan, Wang Feng, and JJ Junjie were also present. When they saw Nie Wei enter the room, everyone immediately greeted Nie Wei enthusiastically.
"Just now, I heard the fans outside shouting your name in the room, and I knew you were here." Ma Dong stood up and said with a smile.
When he mentioned this, many people at the scene showed envy to Nie Wei. After all, celebrities compete for popularity. Nie Wei has been in the industry for ten years, but his popularity is still so strong, which really makes many people envious.
After a group of people put on makeup, they began to prepare for rehearsal.
The rehearsal was carried out under the premise of confidentiality of the program group. They went in groups. After the first rehearsal, the second group could enter the venue, and the real information of other groups was not disclosed as much as possible.
At this time, Nie Wei also saw Zhou Duoduo and several other girls. These girls came at nine o'clock in the morning and had already familiarized themselves with the venue five or six times without Nie Wei and Ma Dong.
Now they just need to cooperate with Nie Wei and Ma Dong to walk through the venue again.
Before Ma Dong and Nie Wei were about to go on stage, the guests from other groups all gathered at the gate, looking like they were waiting for Nie Wei and Ma Dong to go on stage to get information.
"Director, stop these people. I suspect they want to peek at our information." Ma Dong pointed at Xie Na, Chen Jianzhou and others and immediately attracted a round of boos.
"Who cares to watch your performance?"
"That's right, we are just strolling around. We don't care how you perform. Anyway, you can't perform as well as us."
"That's right."
These people said so, but after waiting for Nie Wei and Ma Dong to go out, a group of people immediately ran to the door, all stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, looking far away in the direction of the stage.
