Chapter 572 Concert Promotion Stirs Up Trouble, Tickets Go on Sale!
Amidst the commotion outside, the karaoke rooms of Chenguang Group remained unusually quiet.

No matter how much of a stir Zhang Chen's concert caused in the industry.

No matter how many people outside, through what channels, or by what connections they try to get a ticket to Zhang Chen's concert.

Regardless of how many people want a chance to appear at Zhang Chen's concert.

Zhang Chen, who was at the center of the incident, never appeared in public.

For several months, Zhang Chen seemed to have disappeared.

The announcement made by Chenguang Group:

"The boss is preparing for a concert and is not accepting customers."

No one dared to question this claim.

On the contrary, Zhang Chen's fans were as excited as if it were New Year's Day, believing that although Zhang Chen does not hold concerts, his attitude towards concerts is definitely among the most serious of all singers.

But is Zhang Chen really preparing for a concert?

A small reception room inside a giant building in Yanjing.

"You've been making quite a stir lately, haven't you?"

If anyone saw what was happening, they would be absolutely stunned.

Zhang Chen, a top global billionaire, chairman of a multinational corporation, and one of the world's most famous superstars, is actually called "kid" by some people.

But looking closely at the expressions of the people around him, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

"Uncle, it's just a small stunt." Zhang Chen smiled reservedly, neither arrogant nor overly humble.

"Haha, then we'd love to have more of these little stunts." The middle-aged man in front of Zhang Chen said with a kind smile, "Even the younger generation in our families are coming to us asking if we have any tickets to your concert."

"I've already saved it for you. I was planning to bring it to your aunt sometime."

"Alright, then I won't worry about it. I'm at ease knowing you're sensible in these matters."

"Of course, you are an elder, and I can't let you worry about such a small thing."

"Troublesome things, huh? Tsk, there are some." The middle-aged man sighed slightly, then smiled and said, "But you did relieve a lot of pressure for us recently."

"It's just to make a little money." Zhang Chen scratched his chin sheepishly.

"Don't worry." The middle-aged man knew what Zhang Chen was worried about. "Everyone has seen what you've done."

As if trying to reassure Zhang Chen, the middle-aged man continued, "Like this concert of yours, isn't it all aimed at attracting foreign tourists for next year's show?"

Zhang Chen nodded with a smile, offering no further explanation.

"That's thoughtful of you." The middle-aged man patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, then asked curiously, "I heard you're going to sing at the opening ceremony? Could you tell me what you're going to sing?"

"Oh, it's just that the younger generation in the family is curious."

Zhang Chen looked embarrassed and said, "This... Uncle."

"Look at me!" The middle-aged man smiled, not taking it seriously. "There's a confidentiality agreement, right? It's good to keep it a surprise."

Zhang Chen opened his mouth, intending to reveal the secret directly.

But his uncle had already gotten up and left, not giving him a chance to continue speaking.

That's normal, after all, it's already an exception that I was able to find time to meet Zhang Chen today.

Today is an important day.

The main reason was that this was Zhang Chen's first time attending a conference here this year, so his uncle met with him.

This was his only trip outside while preparing for his concert recently.

Moreover, after today, Zhang Chen knows that he faces no obstacles in the country.

However, ordinary people have no access to what's happening today.

Zhang Chen entered quietly, attended the meeting discreetly, and left quietly, without attracting anyone's attention.

However, careful observers will notice in some later reports that Zhang Chen has been given an additional title – Representative.

Chenguang Group did not publicize this matter, but instead focused on the concert.

People around the world, who have been waiting for months, have finally received specific news about Zhang Chen's first concert.

After Chenguang Group's official Weibo account issued this announcement.

The official Weibo account of Beautiful New York and various officials at all levels have been sharing the post.

Following this, a host of celebrities, including Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Celine Dion, shared the message on Facebook.

Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, and other rising international stars also shared and pinned this message.

Subsequently, almost all the world's celebrities, as if they had conspired together, helped Chenguang Group to repost this concert announcement.

Upon hearing the news, netizens also began discussing it on the platform:
"That's what you call status! This is what you call status! Only Leon can get almost every celebrity in the world to share his concert news!"

"Other singers might at most bring along a few friends from the industry to help promote their concerts, but Zhang Chen has brought together stars from all over the world!"

"Does Zhang Chen need to actively recruit people? I think this is something the celebrities do spontaneously, right?"

"Given Zhang Chen's status in the global entertainment industry, it's quite possible that it was spontaneously done by the celebrities themselves."

"Who can blame them? Lyon has the world's largest record company and digital music platform, and he's also incredibly wealthy. The stars get resources that Zhang Chen doesn't even want, so there's no competition between them. They're too busy currying favor with him."

"Go check out all the major internet platforms around the world, they're all full of news about the Lyon concert."

"Look, now the TV, the internet, newspapers, and even billboards in shopping malls everywhere are all displaying concert posters!"

"When I turn on the TV, use the computer, or go shopping, all I see are concert announcements. I can only chat with everyone online now."

"It's no exaggeration to say that this concert in Lyon was a global sensation!"

"Isn't anyone curious why the concert is called 'Voices of Peace'?" "Oh, I heard today is the day the LHG Congress passed the 'Olympic Truce Resolution'!"

"Do you think it's possible that two people who were exchanging peanuts just a second ago might stop and watch the concert together the moment it starts?"

"This is outrageous! But if you're asking how many Lyon fans are on either side, I think at least half of them are!"

"What time is 00:00 Eastern Time in the US converted to UTC+8? I plan to stay up all night!"

"Tickets won't go on sale for another week! I can't wait!"

"Aren't ticket prices ranging from $300 to $12000 a bit outrageous?"

"If you think it's outrageous, you don't have to buy it! The tickets are clearly priced; take it or leave it!"

"These are tickets to a Lyon concert! $300 for admission is already very affordable!"

"Lyon isn't short of money. Everyone should be happy that they can hold a concert. As for the ticket price, those who have money can buy VIP tickets, and those who don't can just buy regular tickets, right?"

"The promotional poster says there's a mystery guest?"

"I remember the guests at the first Lyon concert included Madonna, Celine Dion, and Leslie Cheung. Who will be there this time? I can't wait!"

"If you think about it, many of the most active and famous singers in the world right now seem to be artists under Morning Light Entertainment, which is Lyon's label, right? Including Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, and Liu Yifei, Yoona, and Choi Sooyoung, who became wildly popular a few months ago."

"If all these singers were at the concert, I can't even imagine how huge a sensation it would cause!"

The entire internet was abuzz with this news.

Countless netizens from all over the world are expressing their opinions online 24 hours a day.

The vast majority of people welcomed Zhang Chen's concert.

Of course, many people also boycotted Zhang Chen's concert.

The main group of people boycotting the event is from an island that did not receive the right to host the concert.

However, even people from this place dare to say too many outrageous things.

Because we can't afford to offend them.

Three days after the concert announcement, new news caused a global sensation.

Facebook
@Liu Yifei: [Image] I got my tickets, how about you?
The accompanying image in this post prominently displays the words "VIP Seating for Lyon 'Voice of Peace' Global Tour".

@Taylor Swift: @Liu Yifei, why don't I have a ticket! But I might have a better viewing spot than Liu~——[Image]

Taylor Swift's accompanying photo didn't show concert tickets; instead, it was clearly a picture taken in an indoor karaoke room.

In the photo, Taylor Swift has a guitar hanging in front of her, and in this self-portrait-like photo, there is a man's figure faintly visible behind her.

@MichaelJackson: @TaylorSwift, why do I feel like that's Leon's back? Oh right, thanks Leon [image]

@Celine Dion: Thank you, Lyon! [Image]

Initiated by Liu Yifei and followed by international superstars like Taylor Swift, the "cross-border chat" began to spread on the internet.

Many netizens are jealous that Liu Yifei was able to get tickets before they went on sale.

But upon closer reflection, it's quite normal that Liu Yifei, Zhang Chen's sister, was able to get tickets early.

It would be big news if she didn't have a ticket.

However, many people are wondering why Liu Yifei, a singer who has just won the title of "Queen of Pop," doesn't go to Zhang Chen's concert to solidify her reputation.

Many people, after seeing Taylor Swift's posts and Michael Jackson's clumsy writing, guessed that Taylor Swift would appear as the band's guitarist at Zhang Chen's concert.

This speculation gave many of Zhang Chen's fans and Taylor Swift's fans a jolt of excitement.

Zhang Chen's fans feel that having an international superstar like Taylor Swift as a band member at their idol's concert is a particularly prestigious thing.

Moreover, many of Zhang Chen's fans know that Taylor Swift is a singer trained by Zhang Chen. The two, "mentor and student," performing together on the same stage has raised everyone's expectations considerably.

If Taylor Swift is like this, will Rihanna be like this too?

Is Britney Spears there?

Could it be Michael Jackson?
Many people have started to imagine how many big-name singers will perform at Zhang Chen's concert.

Other singers wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

But if Zhang Chen is the one holding the concert, then no one would find it strange if anyone appeared at Zhang Chen's concert.

Because his name is Zhang Chen!

A man who made the world music scene tremble.

A man who has taken the world music scene to a new level.

A man whom countless singers in the world of music willingly call "King".

Countless singers want one of his songs, and countless celebrities hope to have a photo with him.

If celebrities are idols to their fans, then Zhang Chen is the idol of countless celebrities.

The last superstar to have this level of fame was Michael Jackson.

But this year, even Michael Jackson publicly stated that he was not as good as Zhang Chen.

Therefore, the title of "the world's only" "idol of celebrities" naturally fell to Zhang Chen.

In the days that followed, some of the world's most prominent figures began to "show off" their concert tickets on Facebook and Weibo.

While fans around the world were filled with envy and jealousy, they also began to calculate how many tickets were left for the New York concert.

Based on the people who have publicly flaunted their tickets, approximately 56 VIP tickets have already been given away.

If you include those who didn't show off, there might be hundreds of people.

If we further exclude the tickets for political figures, what's left for the fans might only be...
No one doubts that there will be no political figures at Zhang Chen's concert.

At least for this concert in New York, the mayor of New York will definitely be there.

It's worth noting that when "La La Land" was released at the beginning of this year, this person was one of the most active promoters.

Now that New York has secured the "first show" of Zhang Chen's concert, he, who considers himself a "hero," will definitely make a public appearance at that time.

Of course, there are also rumors that he has stated on many occasions that he will attend this concert, so there is no need to guess whether he will show up or not.

The date is getting closer and closer to November 1st.

At the very second that all the clocks in the Eastern United States struck 00:00, tickets for the "Voice of Peace" global tour concert officially went on sale!
