Chapter 1245 1345. The curtain is about to be raised

Nie Wei and Cheng Kun's group is not as arrogant as others imagine. The reason why they chose to perform on stage first is mainly to respect the suggestion of the host Alan.

Alan thinks that if they perform later, they may be affected by the joyful atmosphere of the show, and it is easy to be emotional when singing.

So it is better to sing first than to sing later.

So before participating in the show, several people made an appointment. It would be best if they could draw one. If they couldn't draw one, they could change. I think basically no one would refuse.

As the person in charge of Xinbei District, Xu Sheng has been smiling all the time in the past month.

Originally, Xinbei District was the last two strong contenders among the twelve districts near Kyoto. The other brother in distress was Xinnan District. After all, as a former county town, although it has been incorporated into Kyoto City, there is actually no immediate change in construction.

Kyoto City has not yet put forward a specific plan for the planning of the two areas, so everyone can only wait.

But at this time, Xu Sheng, who had just taken office as the director of Xinbei District, received a call from the higher-ups, telling him that a project worth more than 1 billion yuan would be settled in Xinbei District, and asked Xu Sheng to cooperate with it to the best of his ability.

Since receiving this call, Xu Sheng has been unable to sleep at night, and he is both expectant and nervous, wondering what the project will be? If it is tourism development, it would be the best, it would look good, there would be no loss to the local area, and it would even be welcomed by the people.

After all, tourism development is accompanied by some environmentally friendly projects. If it is done well, it can also increase the housing prices nearby, which is naturally a good thing for the people.

But if heavy industry is developed here, Xu Sheng needs to be cautious.

The site selection of the factory must be far away from residential areas, and there are also various problems such as raw material pollution, waste pollution, air pollution, etc., which are enough to give local leaders a headache.

Xu Sheng also wondered if it would be a new energy industry, such as the new energy vehicles being developed in the south. Thinking that Xinbei will have an automobile city, he was even more excited and couldn't sleep.

Half a month passed in a flash. Xu Sheng kept thinking about what project would be settled in New Taipei. This thing was like a dice of fate. He didn't know which side it would be shaken. Of course, he tried to test it with his superiors, but they didn't leak any information at all. They just replied that he should wait patiently.

One morning, he was drinking tea in the office when he saw his secretary rushing in to inform him that the document of the settlement project had been issued.

God knows how much Xu Sheng's heartbeat reached in these few seconds, but it must be much higher than usual. He could even feel that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

After calming down for a while, he took the secretary's document and read it carefully.

The content of the document was very simple, just to inform him which company had some intention, and would send staff to negotiate, and then the local government would try its best to cooperate. After reading the beginning, Xu Sheng glanced at the secretary who was also standing in front of him with excitement, and motioned him to leave first.

Under the secretary's "reluctant" gaze, Xu Sheng looked at the closed door expressionlessly, waited for a few seconds, and suddenly opened his mouth and laughed silently.

He actually wanted to laugh out loud, but the office was not soundproof. Laughing too much could easily arouse suspicion and gossip from his staff.

But this matter is really worth being happy and excited about.

It turned out that the so-called 1 billion yuan was just an initial investment, and more funds may be followed up later, and even develop into a large project of tens of billions.

The key project is still the tourism project he is most looking forward to.

He opened the file again, and it was clearly written on it that Fanxing Group intends to build a giant square with a total area of ​​about 1.8 million square meters in Xinbei District. This item alone is a big project that he dare not even think about. The key is why Fanxing Group suddenly built such a large square?

The answer was also given at the end of the file. It turned out that Fanxing Group built Fanxing Square to promote corporate culture and for a music festival that it was preparing. When seeing this, Xu Sheng suddenly thought of four words in his mind: rich and powerful.

He checked the information of famous domestic music festivals online and found that no organizer of any music festival would build a super plaza with a starting cost of 1 billion just for this.

Of course, Xu Sheng also vaguely realized that this matter could not be as simple as it seemed.

This is indeed the case. Nie Wei is not a person with a lot of money to burn. It is obvious that spending 1 billion to build a super plaza is a losing business. It is really unreasonable to say that it is for the music festival.

Not to mention the construction cost of the plaza itself, the daily maintenance alone is a huge amount of money. For example, the fountain equipment needs to be maintained almost once a year in the north, and there are also various expenses such as lawn mowing and tree trimming, employee wages, etc., which together cost at least several million a year.

If any facilities are damaged and need to be repaired, the money will be even more.

The music festival is held twice a year, and the ticket money is actually not enough to pay for the guests, so it is naturally not a profit point.

Therefore, this super plaza itself was built by the Fanxing Group in order to cooperate with Kyoto's multicultural city construction, and after completion it will be directly delivered to the local area in the form of a donation. In addition to retaining the naming rights of the plaza for 70 years, this means that after the construction of this plaza is completed, it will no longer belong to the Fanxing Group.

Of course, there is compensation. Kyoto will give several pieces of high-quality land around the square and sell them to the Star Group at a very favorable price. In addition to building a comprehensive shopping mall, the Star Group also plans to build several employee family buildings as a reward for senior employees.

Other companies that entered the market because of the investment of the Star Group will not have these benefits.

After all, the Star Group's first investment also carries certain risks. If the Star Square does not attract other investors after it is built, it is likely to become a loss-making business. At that time, the land value compensated by Kyoto will not be enough to make up for the loss of the Star Group.

As for the current result, it can be described in one sentence that everyone is happy.

The time for the Star Music Festival is getting closer and closer, and Xu Sheng is busy sweating. There are too many people coming, more than he expected.

In order to deal with the possible arrival of foreign tourists, Xinbei District has opened hundreds of hotels and three three-star hotels, which are enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, as time goes by, especially in the first three days of the Star Music Festival, the hotels that were only half occupied yesterday suddenly became full.

Soon, all the small hotels in Xinbei District were full, and local agents even started temporary homestay rental services, but it didn't solve the problem.

Even because of the Star Music Festival, the hotel rooms near Xinbei District in Kyoto have become a little tight.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of fans who came to watch the music festival is far more than those who were pre-sold, at least about 200,000 more than the pre-sold number.

When this data came out, even Kyoto was surprised.

This is actually thanks to the continuous holding of music festivals such as Strawberry and Wheat Field every year, which has cultivated a group of qualified fans in recent years. After these fans have formed a scale, they naturally set off a trend.

In addition, the scale of the Stars Music Festival is even larger, and it can be called a world-class super music festival. It is also China's first super-large-scale music festival. Naturally, it attracts more people, many of whom are tourists who come to Kyoto to travel. They heard that a super-large music festival was going to be held nearby, so they wanted to come and take a look.

In addition, the tickets are indeed very cheap, only 80 yuan a day, and there is a discount for buying three days. If you make a reservation, there is a 10% discount. Such a price is absolutely very affordable. With such a low price, you can see hundreds of excellent domestic bands, as well as world-class singers and groups. This is absolutely worth the money.

In addition, the decision of the "Infinite Challenge" program to put the Song Festival on the Stars Music Festival also played a significant role.

This national-level variety show, which has been popular for more than ten years, has a huge appeal and influence. Among the hundreds of thousands of fans, at least tens of thousands of people come specifically to watch the Infinite Challenge Song Festival.

You should know that the ticket sales for the Song Festival used to start at 50,000, and there was no worry about not being able to sell them. Now the tickets for the Stars Music Festival are cheaper, which naturally attracts more fans.

Moreover, Nie Wei's live performance was rumored to be amazing. This time, when Nie Wei was going to go on stage, there were naturally many of his fans and fans who came here because of his reputation. However, this group of people were destined to be disappointed. Who could see Nie Wei go on stage without singing and just playing drums? Of course, this was also the first time that Nie Wei played drums on stage, so this group of people were destined not to come in vain.

The opening hours of the Starry Music Festival are from 9 am to 10 pm every day.

For this reason, several bus companies in Kyoto have jointly opened a ring bus route between the Starry Square and the urban area, especially the several buses after 9 pm, which increased to hundreds.

When Nie Wei saw the general manager of the music festival again, the uncle who lived very delicately on weekdays seemed a little sloppy when he saw him again. It seemed that he liked to comb his long hair meticulously, but when he saw Nie Wei, his hair was loose and he didn't look groomed at all. Nie Wei also saw that he had obviously more white hair.

He was still in shock, which was Nie Wei's only thought at this moment.

You should know that when the group was preparing for the music festival, they wanted to recommend Nie Wei, who had nothing to do, to be in charge, but Nie Wei refused, so Dai Zong took over the task.

Although Dai Zong looked a little tired and sloppy, his eyes were bright and faintly excited.

"Boss Nie, the music festival is guaranteed to be held as scheduled, because the preparations have been basically completed. Ninety-three bands have accepted rehearsals in the past four days, and the remaining bands will complete rehearsals within three days. In addition, I suggest adding more peripheral stalls to the venue. The current stalls can only guarantee the supply of 200,000 people. We expect that more than 300,000 fans may flock to the festival on the hottest day."

"Where can you find so many merchants in three days?" Nie Wei asked.

Facing this question, Dai Zong replied complacently: "Boss Nie, you don't have to worry about the merchants. In fact, there are still thousands of merchants who want to stay at the festival. It's just that we have been holding them back because of the limited booths. If you allow more booths, we can immediately take over more than a thousand surrounding merchants."

"I allow more stalls, but remember that the stall visits should be reasonable and should not affect the fans' listening and interaction. In addition, the merchants, especially those in the food industry, must be checked for their sanitation qualifications. In addition, you must continue to instill environmental awareness in these food merchants. I don't want to see reporters writing articles reporting on the dirty and messy situation of the Stars Square caused by the Stars Music Festival. Do you understand?"

"That's for sure." Dai Zong promised: "We have set up nearly 500 trash cans in the Stars Square, almost every 50 meters. In addition, I will arrange for cleaning staff to check the storage capacity of the trash cans at any time during these three days, and try not to let these trash cans be full."

"Well done." Hearing Nie Wei's praise, Dai Zong couldn't help but grin.

He did so much, wasn't it just to hear Nie Wei's words? There is an idiom that says it well, called "Simple in the Emperor's Heart". Nie Wei is equivalent to the emperor of the stars. As long as he remembers it in his heart and remembers that it is his good, then his own rise to prominence is not just around the corner?

Nie Wei and his companions walked around for a whole morning, and they could barely finish walking around the entire square.

Thinking that there would be 200,000 or 300,000 people pouring in on the day of the music festival, even Nie Wei would feel very excited.

Of course, the bands and singers were even more excited.

Especially the bands. There are really few bands in China that are doing well, and there are even fewer that can hold large-scale concerts. Most of them are wandering around in various bars or various music festivals.

But before this, the biggest scene they had experienced was a live performance of tens of thousands of people, but now the number of people suddenly increased several times or even ten times, which really made them excited.

Especially those young bands that have not yet made a name for themselves, they came here with the hope of becoming a hit at the music festival.

For this reason, the Star Group also specially filmed a program team.

This team is responsible for making a three-episode documentary, which is mainly responsible for interviewing the bands' daily lives, their ideas about participating in the music festival, etc. Now this team has been working for several days, following the six bands and interviewing them until the end of their performances.

The festival's working group will also record every band that performs on stage with a camera. The bands on the main stage will be specially produced into a music program later, and the small bands on the secondary stage don't have to be disappointed. Their performances will also be edited and posted online to make an album.

This is also Nie Wei's original intention, to promote these bands as much as possible and help them increase their popularity, which will also play a great role in the music festival itself.
