    On the eve of the concert, most people from Rolling Stone Records were busy at the Hong Kong Stadium. As the big boss of the record company, Chen Yihua didn't have to do anything himself, but today he also went to the scene in person to boost the morale of his staff and inspect the concert.  The specific conditions of the scene.  The Hong Kong Stadium is a government asset. At first, Chen Yihua thought that record companies would need to negotiate with Hong Kong's Cultural Services Department if they wanted to rent the stadium. Unexpectedly, after learning about it later, he discovered that the current stadium is actually owned by a company called the Hong Kong Stadium.  Wembley's company is under management. This company is a typical heroic company. As long as these British-funded companies have money, it is easy to do things. In addition, the stadium has been in a state of loss. During this period, there were no events at the stadium. Wembley Company  I wish someone could rent it to me. With John, a foreigner, and local gangster Liang Botao helping me, things went smoothly and didn't cost much money.  "Bo Tao, John, you two did a good job." After walking around for a while, Chen Yihua nodded with satisfaction to Liang Bo Tao and John who were accompanying him. The reason why this concert can be held is because of Liang Bo Tao and John.  The stage setting and sound matching are basically the work of these two people.  'Boss, you can't just talk without practicing. If the concert is successful this time, don't forget to give us both bonuses.' Liang Botao is really busy during this period. This is the first time that a big stage has appeared in Hong Kong, let alone the Rolling Stones.  The new company has little experience, and even in Hong Kong there are not many knowledgeable people. For the chores of stage setting, Liang Botao has to use his brain cells. Seeing that the success of the concert is imminent, Liang Botao is rarely in a good mood.  Smiling, Chen Yihua didn't mind if his general was joking with him. Instead, he followed the other person's tone and said boldly, 'Okay, if this concert can be successful, not only you, but everyone in the company will get bonuses this month.'  'boss.  Is it true? 'Brothers, the boss said that as long as the concert is successful, we will have bonuses' 'Long live the boss' Chen Yihua and others were standing not far from the stage, with Rolling Stone employees busy everywhere around them.  Chen Yihua deliberately spoke loudly again, and as expected, everyone heard what he said.  The morale of the people around him immediately rose.  In fact, the Rolling Stones did not make any money from this concert. On the contrary, based on the current data, Chen Yihua still has to pay some money to go in. Although the concert has not started yet, we can basically see some profit data now.  The tickets were sold half a month ago, and the Rolling Stones' financial department also made a simple calculation of the expenses and collection of this concert.  Nowadays, not many sponsors are willing to sponsor a concert in Hong Kong, especially for a concert as big as the Rolling Stones. They will not sponsor it at all, so the cost of this concert is paid for by Chen Yihua alone.  The stadium can seat about 20,000 people, and with Chen Yihua also using the football field in the middle, a concert can basically accommodate more than 30,000 people.  A ticket costs about 60 to 70 yuan, so a concert can cost about 2 million Hong Kong dollars.  If it¡¯s just rent, stage, publicity, labor, clothing, etc., Rolling Stone will not lose money. The most expensive part is the audio equipment.  To create a perfect concert, two key factors must be present. One is to have good audio equipment and make good use of these equipment.  The second is to reasonably build sound according to the concert venue.  There has never been a concert held at the Hong Kong Stadium before.  Therefore, there is no audio equipment that the Rolling Stones need, which requires the Rolling Stones to purchase it themselves. In addition, because the stadium is so spacious, ordinary audio equipment is simply not enough. A set of large outdoor audio equipment will cost one million yuan even in later generations.  Calculated, let alone now.  Nowadays, top audio equipment can only be imported from the United States, and the price is exorbitantly high. For this concert, the Rolling Stones spent more than one million U.S. dollars on the equipment imported from the United States alone.  If it weren't for the thought that these equipment could still be used in the future, even Chen Yihua, who had always been wealthy, couldn't help but feel distressed.  Fortunately, this concert does not require lighting equipment. Due to technological problems, it is impossible to hold a concert in a stadium at night, which also allows Chen Yihua to save an extra amount of money.  The Rolling Stones held two concerts on Saturday and Sunday, plus the peripheral products prepared on the day of the concert. After all these calculations, the finance department probably estimated that the record company would suffer a loss, but the loss would not be too serious, and it could basically be done.  Profit and loss are equal.  In fact, the stage has been set up and the equipment has been purchased. As long as Chen Yihua rents the stadium for a few more days, he can still make money by holding a concert for a few days. A concert only lasts three and a half hours, and the Rolling Stones are not lacking in singers.  , it is not difficult to hold five or six concerts in a row.  ¡°It¡¯s a pity that there are no holidays in Hong Kong in May, and large-scale concerts are difficult to hold in Hong Kong.This time, even if there are big-name singers, the record company is still worried about whether fans will buy it during working hours.  He must have a long-term perspective. The reason why Chen Yihua held the concert so quickly was not to make money. In his opinion, expanding the influence of the Rolling Stones is now the most important thing. If he does something that will damage the reputation of the Rolling Stones in order to earn one or two million,  Things simply don't pay off.  Too much is too much, as long as this two-day concert can be a success and spread by word of mouth, the audience will buy it next time, leaving the singers with a little leeway, and it will also attract more audiences to attend their concert next time.  meeting.  ¡°Boss, this is the program list for the concert, take a look,¡± Liang Botao said, taking out a document and handing it to Chen Yihua.  After roughly browsing through it, Chen Yihua said, "Is the order of the stage according to the arrangement in the document?" "Yes, it is all according to the arrangement in the document. The Winner Band was the first to appear, and the first song was "You Have".  "How much love can come back again?" Nodding, Chen Yihua pondered for a while and then asked, "Bo Tao, Su Rui and the others will be fine on stage tomorrow." "Don't worry, boss, they are doing well. In half a month  We have arranged for them to rehearse on stage before, and now they are basically proficient. There should be no problem tomorrow.' 'Well, that's good. By the way, how about Luo Dayou and Chen Shuhua? Not long after they joined our Rolling Stones, they  If we want them to go on stage to sing new songs so quickly and the time is so tight, are they familiar with the stage? " 'Fortunately, we rehearsed it yesterday and there was no problem. Luo Dayou and the others are basically proficient in every song. If it is the day of the concert,  Judging from their performance during the rehearsal, there is no problem at all. "The big stage with ten thousand people is different from the rehearsal. If it doesn't work, don't force it. It's urgent to change now." Although Chen Yihua arranged for Luo Dayou and the others to come on stage,  When things came to a close, he couldn't help but remind him.  'Boss, they all have a good mentality, and even for a big singer like Xu Guanjie, this is the first time for thousands of people to perform on stage. Luo Dayou is just one song, and even if there is a small mistake, it will not affect the stage. Although Chen Shuhua has two songs, this  Girls are very involved when they sing, and the chance of being disturbed by the outside world is very small. Although Zhen Ni has many songs, you don't have to worry about her. On the stage, she is an old-timer. She has sung on stage so many times.  I believe she can handle it herself. 'Well, please be more careful about these things. Please encourage them for me and tell them not to be too nervous. Relax. Being nervous makes it easier to make mistakes. Tomorrow is the concert, Chen Yihua.  He didn't want to say anything to those singers now. He knew that if he came forward to say anything now, it would be a kind of pressure on them.  Things have reached this point, and it is futile to think about it any more. Although it is a bit risky to arrange for Luo Dayou and others who later joined the Rolling Stones to record new songs and go on stage in such a tight time, Chen Yihua believes in his choice. Singers like them can do it in the future.  Standing out from hundreds of millions of people will not be troubled by the stage.  Originally, the original plan for this concert was to arrange for Sam Hui, Wen Na Band and Su Rui to appear on stage. The record company's early promotional posters also promoted it in this way, but the plan did not change.  In fact, it is safer to say that Luo Dayou and Chen Shuhua can also make their debut step by step under the arrangement of Rolling Stone. However, because of the shock of Wen Na and Su Rui, and the current effective promotion channel of Rolling Stone is only one wireless listening channel, even if there are good songs, new members will join.  Several singers from the Rolling Stones must not have risen as quickly and as popularly as Su Rui.  It is the first time for ten thousand people to hold a concert in Asia. As long as they have good songs and good performance, Luo Dayou and the others' fame will spread quickly through word of mouth. Chen Yihua feels that it is completely worth taking a small risk.  The singers currently owned by Rolling Stone include the Five Tigers, Su Rui, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Leslie Cheung, Chen Shuhua, Long Piaopiao and Zhen Ni. The number is not large, but the quality is definitely top-notch. These people will be heavyweights in future generations.  They are all at the level of singers and queens.  Except for Wen Na and Su Rui, the other people who have been with the Rolling Stones for only two months have only been together for two months. In addition to Xu Guanjie, who is not from the company, the Rolling Stones' concert this time also includes Su Rui, Wen Na, Luo Dayou, Chen Shuhua and Zhen Ni.  As for Leslie Cheung, Li Zongsheng and Long Piaopiao, Chen Yihua did not arrange for these three people to go on stage. Li Zongsheng and Leslie Cheung did not have much experience before joining the Rolling Stones. It is really too reluctant to let them go on stage now, and Long Piaopiao, because  It was too late to sign the contract, and now it was too late to arrange for her to record songs and perform in a concert. Not only was there not enough time, but some of the original plans for the concert were disrupted by her alone. Therefore, Chen Yihua had no choice but to give up on Long Piaopiao.  Debuted at the concert.
