Three or four days later, the stage for the concert was completed. All the materials used to build the stage came from the United States, because China has not been able to find high-end materials suitable for the concert of a figure like Michael Jackson.

Even the mineral water used in rehearsals backstage must be French Evian.

There is also a dedicated chef on standby in the background to prepare freshly squeezed orange juice for Mike to drink at any time.

There is no denying that this is the style of an international superstar.

Everyone thinks this is what it should be.

He is the one and only Michael Jackson.

Maybe at home, Mike can have a laugh with Subudong and become like friends.

But if Su Butong made a wrong note on the pipa, he would point it out mercilessly and accompany Su Butong until he found the note correctly.

In a sense, this concert actually makes no money from selling tickets.

A ticket can be sold for tens of yuan, and better seats only cost a few hundred yuan. 40,000 tickets only bring in a few million yuan.

These stage assets, which cost huge amounts of money to build, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in freight alone, not counting labor.

The total cost of the entire concert was more than 15 million US dollars! Su Butong sold advertisements for a high price of 300 million, which to some extent made up for the lack of money.

This is the most luxurious concert, and the ticket money spent by the audience cannot recoup the cost. Therefore, Mike cannot make any money by holding a concert in China. He even plans to pay for it himself.

But Su Butong almost single-handedly changed this status quo. It seemed that he had taken into account the lack of individual purchasing power of the Chinese people in advance. From the beginning, he set his sights on those large enterprises, and he included all possible opportunities for Michael Jackson to come to China.

The things used were transformed into products and sold.

What do you think Subutong wants?

make money?

This job is thankless. It only takes 1 or 2 months to make a game, and the income is higher than it is now.

This thing is more for the feelings in my heart.

Michael Jackson has never set foot in China.

On Mike's second day in China, intense rehearsals began. In order not to disturb the media, many security personnel were deployed around the performance site to prevent anyone from entering and peeping.

In Mike's eyes, music cannot be blasphemed, so he pays great attention to every detail of the scene and strives to be perfect. Guest assistants also come here in batches to practice together.

Su Butong's pipa playing was assigned to the second program, so Su Butong played the small stove alone while others were rehearsing. He is basically proficient now, but according to Zhang Jin, it is actually difficult to perform on stage.

There was still a lot to be desired. So Su Butong sent an official letter directly to Zhang Jin's alto, asking Zhang Jin to help keep an eye on him as he practiced the pipa and point out what was wrong.

"Although this is a business trip, you should give me money, otherwise I won't be willing to serve you." Zhang Jin has long recognized the face of Su Butong, a capitalist. If you don't make money if you have money, you are a fool.

"It's a 50% discount," Su Butong said.

Zhang Jin: "Why are you so stingy now? People say the more you make, the more money you make, and you are the one they are talking about, right?"

Michael Jackson seemed to value Su Butong very much. He even communicated with Zhang Jin about Su Butong's program. Zhang Jin didn't expect that Michael Jackson also loved traditional Chinese folk music. So he became more interested in teaching Su Butong.

a bit.

And those Chinese big shots, when they saw Michael Jackson, they behaved like little chickens. They listened to whatever Mike said.

In this way, a team of thousands of people worked hard for a week for this concert.

Finally, the day of the concert came.

…………

Zhao Min drove four people to the concert venue and found that there were already bicycles in front of the concert venue.

At this time, motorcycles, cars, etc. are all rare items. And I don’t know what Su Butong thinks. Instead of going to the Workers’ Stadium to hold such a big concert, he insists on coming to his film and television city. But there is no such thing now.

The Chinese people knew that this bad idea came from Su Butong, and thought it was Mike's idea. Some people lamented in the newspapers that the Americans knew how to cause trouble, and they also knew that the concert should be held in an antique place.

Zhao Min, who knew the inside story, didn't care. Anyway, the car and oil were provided by Zhan Long, so she wouldn't say anything.

But when this unfortunate idea came up, it caused a lot of suffering for the people in the capital. You must know that Su Butong opened this film and television city in Changping, and he chose the cheapest place. Now he can't even find a bus here.

Therefore, it is best for those who buy tickets to ask for a car from their work unit. If not, they can only come by bicycle or on legs.

Zhao Min put the car in the parking area of ​​her colleagues. Many colleagues came to protect her today. After all, it was a concert for 40,000 people, so she was worried that something might go wrong.

Just after walking a few steps, there were people selling Arctic Ocean, ice cream, balloons, and sweet potatoes at the door. It made people feel like this place was a market.

Zhao Min bought a bottle of Arctic Ocean and asked someone to open the cap. As soon as he took a sip, his female companion pulled him to watch the water floating in the sky.

Zhao Min squirted out a mouthful of soda.

What the hell is Su Butong doing?

There are many vertical advertisements hanging on many advertising balloons, "Jianli brand underwear is loved by men - Michael Jackson is no exception."

"Erguotou, drink to taste like a man - Michael Jackson solemnly recommends liquor drinks."

"House of Azul - Michael Jackson's first choice for clothing..."

………

When I walked to the ticket check-in area, there were four entrances A/B/C/D to check in. At each entrance, there were four welcoming girls wearing red cheongsam: "Welcome, Shumei - it's good to be a woman!"

Next to it is a roll-up tag for breast enhancement cream.

Zhao Min was almost speechless as she walked in. Is this still her idol's concert? Is Su Butong going crazy just to make money?

Passing through the ticket check area, you will enter through a huge balloon arch. The arch is densely covered with various advertisements, for tires and for gas stations. It looks like the advertisements on roadside telephone poles that specialize in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

A small advertisement for infertility.

After sitting down, there was a bottle of mineral water under each audience's chair. It was called: 'Wahahaha' mineral water. The name made people happy, but I couldn't stand it. There was also a line on the mineral water: "Here comes Michael Jackson."

China’s only designated mineral water.”

There was also a program for that night on everyone's seat, and the program was also filled with all kinds of advertisements. Zhao Min and her female companion were so overwhelmed by the dazzling advertisements that they were not in the mood to watch the concert.

More importantly, there were many foreigners watching the scene. Zhao Min felt that her face was filled with embarrassment. Didn't Su Butong deliberately embarrass the Chinese people?

After all, the country is now wide open, and many foreigners are willing to come to China to watch it, just in time. A concert ticket worth tens of yuan can be sold by scalpers and earn hundreds of dollars, which has become a favorite of many scalpers.

Things to do.

What made her even more unexpected was that she discovered that Su Butong's name was clearly written on the second program on the program list.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering if the person on the program was the one she knew.

But it seems that this is the only person named Subudong in the world.

He wants to share the stage with Michael Jackson?
Chapter completed!
