Chapter 1516 1618. Really easy to make money
The venue for a concert of 50,000 people in Kyoto must be Gongti Stadium.
It can accommodate 62,000 spectators and was once the largest stadium in Kyoto. Countless top singers have held concerts here, such as A-mei, JAY, Eason, etc.
Of course, because the Bird's Nest was built in Kyoto for the Olympics, Gongti Stadium is no longer the No. 1 in Kyoto in the minds of top singers.
But for 99% of singers in the circle, being able to hold a packed concert at Gongti Stadium is still something they dream of.
This is not the first time that HELLOGIRLS has held a concert here. This is the third time that this group of girls has come to Gongti Stadium to hold a concert, and every concert is packed.
For the girls, this is definitely something they should be proud of.
There are still many staff members busy on the stage. Sound, lighting, fireworks, elevators, including 3D modules, all need to be tested over and over again, and the props and ear monitors that the girls need to use also need to be checked.
The success of a concert is not entirely the work of the singers, but more of the cooperation and efforts of a professional team behind the scenes.
The girls are very good at dealing with people. They bought a bunch of energy drinks on the way here, and immediately distributed them to the busy staff at the scene. Receiving the drinks personally delivered by the beautiful girls, the originally tired people also felt warmed, and even the resentment of getting up early disappeared.
When Nie Wei arrived at the scene, the girls were rehearsing on the stage.
"Hello, Mr. Nie."
"How are they preparing?" Nie Wei asked, looking at the girls singing and dancing on the stage.
"Very good." The on-site director praised HELLO GIRLS without hesitation: "These girls have their own characteristics. Meiqi is cool and sassy, Xuanyi is a perfect idol, and Yang Xiaoli is beautiful in every angle. The key is that they work together very well..."
Nie Wei listened to the director's praise for HELLO GIRLS silently, looked at the girls who seemed to be glowing on the stage, and suddenly said: "Then you have to work hard to give them a perfect stage tonight."
The director was stunned, then reacted and quickly assured: "Yes."
After answering, the director looked at the rich women on the stage, his face showing regret.
Because after tonight, this top idol girl group will come to an end. I am afraid that there will be no chance to see so many girls with different personalities gather together to perform again.
Nie Wei stood under the stage and watched the girls finish their performance.
"Brother, you are here!" The moment the music stopped, Zhou Duoduo, who had already discovered Nie Wei, immediately ran to the stage and threw herself into Nie Wei's arms.
It was because Nie Wei was in good health that he could catch this girl.
"You are such a big girl, don't you have a proper figure?"
"I am so happy, aren't I?" Zhou Duoduo let go of Nie Wei with a smile, and then looked at him seriously for several times.
"What are you looking at? What's different about me?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.
"Brother, you really haven't changed at all. My sister-in-law is so fat, but you haven't changed. No wonder my sister-in-law always complains to me." Zhou Duoduo said in surprise.
"Huh?"
Nie Wei didn't chat with Zhou Duoduo for long, after all, she still had a group of teammates standing by and looking at them eagerly. Nie Wei smiled and called these girls aside, asking about their well-being.
However, Nie Wei didn't delay them for too long, after all, the rehearsal was not over yet.
The idol group's concert is not only a group performance, but also occasionally some individual performances, such as Dajuan and Zining, who are good at singing, have a solo stage, and Meiqi and Xiaojing, who are good at dancing, also have a solo stage. In addition, there will be some performances of limited groups.
Like the family group of Xuanyi, Xiaojing and Yang Xiaoli.
After all, fans are of different composition. Some are group fans who like to watch group performances, but some are fans of only one idol, who prefer their idol to shine alone. The limited group is undoubtedly a service for CP fans.
Since idols are fan-driven, they naturally have to consider fans more. They have to satisfy fans with what they like.
In this way, fans will like idols more and feel more comfortable paying for them.
Zhou Duoduo and Yang Xiaoli had just finished their performance on the stage. They subconsciously glanced at the audience, and then they were stunned because Nie Wei was gone.
However, when she found that she had lost a few teammates, she smiled and stuck out her tongue, hoping that Nie Wei would not blame her.
At this moment, Nie Wei was in a staff lounge backstage. He asked his agent to call Lai Xiaoqi, Zining, Xiaojing, Dajuan and Yamy here.
"Don't be nervous. I just called everyone here because I have a gift for you." Nie Wei smiled and took out several contracts and handed them to the girls.
What made him a little strange was that after the girls signed the contract, although they pretended to be surprised and happy, Nie Wei always felt that it was a bit fake?
"You all know?" Nie Wei thought about it for a while and understood.
Several people looked at each other, and finally Yamy, the team leader, admitted: "Boss Nie, we only found out today. Duoduo was so sad to see us that she told us in advance."
"Why are you so nervous? I never wanted to hide this from you. After all, you are the parties involved. I am only telling you today. On the one hand, I want to reassure you, and on the other hand, I don't want the other three overseas people to Members think too much," Nie Wei explained.
In fact, the girls didn't think much about it at all. It was too late to be happy. With the contract in hand, the hearts of the girls were actually beating wildly at this moment.
Although they had received the news in advance from Zhou Duoduo, only the moment they held the contract in their hands could the big stone hanging in their hearts finally fall to the ground.
But after hearing Nie Wei's words, the girls couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Lai Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask: "Brother Nie Wei, is there really no way to keep Zi Ting and the others?"
Facing the girl's pleading eyes, Nie Wei gently shook her head.
The reality is not a TV series. In the TV series, those businessmen may be moved by the deep love between sisters and take the initiative to give up the contract. But in reality, they see more immediate benefits. As for feelings, they are not important in the face of money. unimportant.
The core interests of the brokerage companies behind overseas members are also overseas. What they hope more is to import their own culture into China, rather than just letting their artists become a simple money-making machine in China.
So they need to let these members return to their own companies and use their popularity to launch new groups.
In this way, in their own country, these brokerage companies can promote the returning artists as popular Asian stars, and through the fame of these artists, they can penetrate the development of new groups into China.
This seems to be a way to kill two birds with one stone, but it obviously also involves gambling. But for these brokerage companies, they will obviously choose the method with greater returns.
It's just a pain for the artists themselves. After all, for artists, especially those in the growing stage, what they need most is an environment and resources that can bring them stable development.
And this is exactly contrary to the development plan of the brokerage company behind them.
Nie Wei was also helpless about this.
It is inevitable that the three overseas members will leave the team, which casts a dark cloud on the originally good mood of the girls who had just received contracts with Stars.
But we are not children. Although we are sad, we still force ourselves to hold back our sadness and accept the reality.
Zhou Duoduo saw Lai Xiaoqi and the others returning to the lounge and quietly approached them.
"Has my brother discussed the contract with you?" Zhou Duoduo asked in a low voice.
Lai Xiaoqi nodded, but this made Zhou Duoduo even more strange: "Now that we have talked, why do you look so unhappy? Has my brother changed his mind? No way."
As she spoke, Zhou Duoduo became a little anxious, fearing that her brother had really changed his mind, so she quickly stood up and said, "I'll go find him and find out."
"Duoduo, that's not the case." Lai Xiaoqi grabbed Zhou Duoduo and explained in a low voice: "It's not about our contract."
"Then how do you..."
Lai Xiaoqi did not answer, but looked at Zi Ting, a member from Thailand who was staring at the dressing room not far away.
Zhou Duoduo followed Lai Xiaoqi's gaze and understood instantly.
Knowing the truth of the matter, Zhou Duoduo stopped trying to persuade her. After all, it was something that even her brother couldn't handle. No matter how much comfort she said, nothing would change.
Zhou Duoduo played with her mobile phone in the lounge for a while and found that Nie Wei never came over. After asking her agent, she found out that Nie Wei had already left the stadium.
At this moment, Nie Wei was heading to the construction site of Fanxing Building in New Taipei District.
At present, three-quarters of the main project of the building has been completed. Decoration and construction are being carried out at the same time. So far, the doors and windows from the first to thirtieth floors have been installed, and various wiring, floor heating and air-conditioning devices are also in progress in an orderly manner.
If nothing unexpected happens, the building will be officially completed next spring.
Nie Wei put on a safety helmet, walked around the construction site, asked some questions, and got a general understanding of the progress of the project.
"How is the leasing situation?" Nie Wei asked.
The person in charge of the project quickly replied: "Seventy-six companies are currently in discussions, and six of them have reached an agreement. They will move in once the building is completed and open for use."
Nie Wei nodded. Of course, it would be impossible for Fanxing Group to use such a tall building. It would be too wasteful.
After all, the entire building can accommodate up to 12,000 employees, and the number of employees at Fanxing's headquarters in Kyoto is just over 5,000.
Part of the remaining space is used for commercial purposes, and the rest must be rented out to the fullest extent possible.
As one of the top office buildings in the country, Fanxing Group naturally has top-notch rental prices. The starting area is 1,000 square meters, and the monthly rent exceeds 700,000 yuan. If all of them can be rented out, then Fanxing Group will earn an annual revenue of more than 700,000 yuan. The rent reached is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan.
This amount of money is enough to cover the miscellaneous expenses and maintenance fees of the building.
Nie Wei doesn't think it's difficult to rent out the remaining office space.
Firstly, there is always no shortage of customers in top-level office buildings. Secondly, although the location here is slightly remote, it is indeed the core circle of new developments in Kyoto in the future. As the latest development zone in Kyoto, anyone who is not stupid can see the development potential here, and When the building is completed, it is estimated that the subway here will be in use, and then the problem of location will not be a problem.
And as a new development zone in Kyoto, Xinbei District offers many preferential policies, which is also the key to attract investors.
In the afternoon, Nie Wei had a meal with the director of Xinbei District and talked about some cooperation. When he returned to the stadium, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, a large number of people have gathered outside the Workers' Stadium, all of whom are fans who come to watch the concert.
The surrounding stores at the entrance are the most lively, and the queues in front of the two windows are like a dragon, because today will launch the last group peripheral products of HELLOGIRLS, and the company named it the "Limited Memories" gift package.
Nie Wei found it interesting and asked his assistant to ask for a set. After opening it, he found that it was actually the girls' figures.
But for fans, this is indeed very commemorative.
This set of figures has a total of 33 pieces, divided into three series, one of which is the appearance of them when they participated in "PRODUCE101".
The second series is the styling in the MV of the girls' popular song "Calories".
As for the third series, it is a set of costumes that fans have never seen before. Nie Wei guessed that it might be the styling of the girls' concert tonight.
The three series include the concepts of initial intention, peak and ending. No wonder there are still so many people queuing up to buy the model at a price of 9,999 yuan.
Nie Wei was sitting in the car looking at the sales point. In less than half an hour, the people queuing at the sales point suddenly began to complain unsatisfactorily. Nie Wei guessed that the set of figures must have been sold out.
According to the assistant, there are only 730 sets of this set of figures, because HELLO GIRLS has been a group for a total of two years, which is exactly 730 days, and the number of people queuing is obviously more than this number. It is normal that some people did not buy it.
Seeing this scene, the first thought that Nie Wei had in his mind was that fans' money is really easy to make.
Just a set of figures that cost less than 1,000 yuan, sold at ten times the price, but it was sold out in half an hour. No wonder some people say that the fan economy is a miracle.
For ordinary people, spending 10,000 yuan to buy this set of figures is really a stupid thing, but for fans, not buying this set of figures is like a bolt from the blue.
Nie Wei even saw a little girl squatting on the ground crying in pain, howling miserably, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
"Give this to her." Nie Wei couldn't bear it, and handed the opened figurine to the assistant and instructed.
Nie Wei looked through the car window and watched the assistant hand the figurine to the little girl. The little girl who was crying just now was stunned, staring blankly at Nie Wei's assistant, her eyes seemed full of disbelief.
But her friends around her reacted quickly, thanking the assistant and shouting excitedly.
She looked happier than winning the lottery.
