Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 476 Li, my friend, you are the real Xiu Poman!

The employees were really struggling to stay calm.

The CEO was particularly excited because he was the one who was specifically praised.

Normally, it's the boss who takes the lead in praising others, but today, with the roles reversed, the boss was surprisingly adept at it.

That's too crazy, I can't stand it.

That's about it for now. Report any developments promptly and we'll add more details later.

Li Can clapped his hands, and everyone fell silent as if by unspoken agreement.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After Li Can finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to President Chen.

Mr. Chen nodded, glanced at the contents of the notebook again, and stood up.

"Mr. Li's words are excellent. Did everyone take notes?"

Mr. Chen looked around.

The surrounding area is filled with animated GIFs of Kun Kun pecking at rice.

"Very good, then let's implement these tasks step by step!"

"Roger that!"

Everyone stood up and solemnly responded.

The uniformity is comparable to that of pea shooters planted at the same time.

Mr. Chen did not feel embarrassed; on the contrary, he felt as if he had been given a great responsibility.

Serious and energetic, he left the studio in a hurry and quickly got into work mode.

Mr. Chen knows better than anyone who is truly in charge of the company.

If you can make money easily and comfortably by clinging to powerful figures, why not cling to them? Are you really going to fight to show off the power of capital and welcome a flying kick from the Northeast?

What a joke!
We're here because we value this meeting!
This time, we absolutely have to stand up and cling to their coattails!!

Time passed slowly, and two weeks went by in the blink of an eye.

The news that the DP band is up to something big is getting hotter and hotter.

Driven by many curious netizens and online celebrities, the popularity of the desert night market has decreased in a normal manner, but the decrease is very limited. Not only the fireworks display in the desert square, but also the various food items in the night market have become popular.

Xia Kingdom is, after all, a nation of food lovers. As long as there is a solid foundation in cuisine, even the most obscure place can quickly become popular with just a little encouragement.

Even before DP Band's concert started, the Dunhuang authorities were already considering what honors or awards to give Li Can.

During a routine meeting, the development and driving force of the desert night market were discussed.

"Based on the current development trend, tourism development can continue to be invested in. In order to retain more people, perhaps we can also carry out a series of operations after their performances."

“This level of concert is completely different from that of ordinary stars. If handled well, it can become a cultural symbol and even a unique music festival culture.”

Music festival.

This kind of activity is not actually very popular in the country.

However, the basic infrastructure of Xia Kingdom and the unique advantages of the desert night market make this feasible.

The joy of travel, besides the excitement of culture, the weight of history, and the beauty of desert ruins, must also include music along the ancient Silk Road.

Ancient music shows already exist, so why can't there be a music festival?

Nobody says that music festivals have to be rock, and rock isn't just about guitars.

Given DP's global influence, holding a final concert here would most likely attract other celebrities and artists. To exaggerate a bit, it wouldn't be impossible for it to become a brand new rock mecca.

As long as there is enthusiastic support from celebrities and bandwagoners who cater to their tastes, it will be enough.
It has the potential to develop a unique music festival culture!

The concert is still a long way off, and even the musicians haven't started training yet, but Tantu Avenue has already garnered a lot of optimism.

Such optimism will ignite enthusiasm in the capital market.

The snowball effect has already begun to build momentum.

Just like Xingmei, the Desert Night Market also held a formal meeting and emphasized the focus of their work.

A series of upgrades and integrations were carried out on the night market, and even specialized training was conducted.

The greater the opportunity, the more motivated everyone becomes, resulting in higher quality. Higher quality, in turn, helps retain customers, and word-of-mouth spreads, leading to even greater opportunities.

This trend even continued into winter.

Although it doesn't seem as hot as it was a while ago, everyone is still very confident. Everyone knows that the real opportunity is yet to come in August next year.

If we can establish a reputation and gain worldwide fame at that time, we can lay a solid foundation.

How could the future be bad?

This was a massive project that mobilized countless groups of people, and everyone was actively cooperating in the preparations.

Li Can was so busy that he almost forgot about the music for Black Monkey, which led to President Yang looking resentful when he handed over the new work.

Wait until April after the Spring Festival next year.

It seems like a coincidence, but it also seems like an inevitable trend.

New game trailers for the coming year, after being deconstructed by enthusiastic gamers, have also begun to generate a trend of cross-promotion.

[Holy crap, this mural at Huangfengling is actually the "Manjushri Transformation" and "Samantabhadra Transformation" from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang?!]

[@#Unveiling the Culture Behind the Black Monkey - The Bizarre Design of the Land God in Xiaoxitian Actually Originates from the "Myriad Sound Bird" in the Dunhuang Murals#]

Wow, this summer is going to be fun! I absolutely have to go to Dunhuang; there are concerts and all this cultural stuff.

[Holy crap, when will tickets be released?!]

[Same here, urgent!]

[You're still trying to snag a ticket? I'd be impressed if you even managed to get one.]

Amidst great anticipation, netizens didn't have to wait long.

In mid-May, a new round of news arrived.

Tickets for the "Shake and Roll" final concert are now on sale!
Tickets are sold three months in advance and are released in batches.

The first round of ticket sales was very bold, releasing 50,000 tickets on domestic platforms and 10,000 tickets on international platforms at once.

Since it's a standing ticket, this time it was only divided into large areas. The four large areas around the stage are more expensive, at 128 yuan, while the areas further away are 88 yuan, and the outermost area is 58 yuan.

I originally thought it would take some time before it was available for sale.

Unexpectedly, the tickets sold out completely within just one day of being released.

These sales results have given everyone more confidence in their expectations for the number of attendees.

When the second round of voting was released, the number of votes had already reached 80,000 domestically and 30,000 internationally.

This time, domestic ticket sales were a bit slower, but conversely, overseas ticket sales were suddenly much faster, almost selling out in seconds.

The lag in information is vividly demonstrated.

Domestic fans mostly accepted the news of DP's explosive concert.

However, related publicity abroad has only just begun to spread.

In Europe and America, things are going well; tickets are being released globally, and the demand is extremely high.

But in countries where attention is slightly lower, the huge wave is only just beginning.

What no one expected was...

The princes from the oil-rich land actually tweeted to complain about not having seats at the concert, and even tagged DP band's account on an overseas platform, which immediately attracted a huge amount of attention and discussion!
This is going to cause an explosion.

Seeing that someone had started, some previously low-profile bigwigs couldn't help but step forward and ask questions. For example, they asked if VIP seats could be set up, if they wanted money, if investment was needed, and why there were so few tickets sold overseas, among other demands.

And after this group of people showed themselves.

Celebrities and artists began posting updates praising the scale of the concert and expressing their personal aspirations for it.

The fan-oriented focus on attracting traffic cannot even be described as a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change; rather, it is a qualitative change that simultaneously reached the magnitude of the quantitative change.

In an instant, it swept across the country!
Wow! Li Canzhen's popularity has even reached the oil industry?!

It's not surprising that the fire spread over there, but it's unexpected that even the prince would want to come.

NBA players, Real Madrid players, Olympic champions, luxury goods executives, politicians, university professors.

[I'm stunned! DP's fans are all sorts of people!]

[Damn it, even after all that hype, I still underestimated DP.]

I'm speechless. They're complaining that 90,000 tickets abroad aren't enough.

【No? You mean Duo Shao?! Holy crap, how many people will that require?!】

[Holy crap! I didn't even notice how many tickets they released. One dared to release them, and a whole bunch dared to buy them!]

The heatwaves came one after another.

When tickets were released for the third time, the number of tickets sold had already exceeded everyone's expectations.

22 domestically, 12 abroad.

After ticket sales have ended.

The official statistics shocked all the fans.

34 million!
This number doesn't even belong to the category of concerts anymore, but rather to the category of truly large-scale music festivals.

Music festivals that can attract 34 attendees at a single event are generally established festivals with attendance exceeding one million people, and there are very few of them in the world.

This caused a media frenzy, with all sorts of news reports vying to cover it.

#DP Band's final concert "Shake It Up and Roll" sold out, with a final ticket count reaching a staggering 34. The crowd was truly swaying and rolling.#
#Even before the concert started, the number of tickets sold had already shattered the world record for the largest single-show attendance! The numbers are approaching those of large-scale concerts.#
#The venue already had 34 attendees, and the number outside is expected to reach millions, comparable to the attendance at a world-class music festival!#
#By holding their own against the scale of a music festival with a concert, that's the power of DP!#
#Shocking, but unsurprisingly, it wasn't just DP's legendary reputation, the massive scale of the performance, and the numerous renowned guests that made this concert a musical spectacle unlikely to be replicated in the future, becoming a significant landmark in music history.#
#Go to this concert! Everyone's completely silent, it's hilarious! You can't even move, it's packed with people inside and out.#
#With over four thousand musicians, even the most obscure ones are bound to be familiar to you.#
#You're quite likely to bump into domestic or international celebrities in the audience.#
The attention it has garnered is immense.

This even made the musicians who hadn't yet participated in the training camp start to get restless.

They all stepped forward, either to show off, to put on airs, or to lament that they regretfully missed the concert due to personal reasons.

And at this time.

Li Can's friends started to exert their influence, which only added fuel to the fire on top of the already huge popularity.

Henry posted an Instagram update.

[Thumbs up.jpg, 34 views! My friend, you are the real Xiu Poman.]

Okali posted a tweet, but it was rambling nonsense.

【Oh oh oh oh so much ...

The immense popularity has even spawned a subculture surrounding the DP band phenomenon.

A very strange "friendship culture".

His main supporter was Cassius.

[It's so moving that people from all over the world could come together, musicians and audience alike. This rock 'n' roll extravaganza is destined to go down in history!]

The information is abundant and the content is overwhelming.

The staff who were summarizing and reporting the recent feedback from home and abroad to Li Can were working overtime to the point of madness, and even the temptation of huge red envelopes felt overwhelming.

The number of participants continued to increase, and even the work teams of other artists under Star Media were urgently transferred. The work of other artists was almost completely suspended, and all manpower was devoted to this performance.

Not only were the artists not dissatisfied, but they even had to work as assistants.

Li Can finally convened another meeting with everyone as the training camp approached.

The performance has fully entered the testing and rehearsal stage!
The number of people flying to Dunhuang reached as high as 600.

some of.

There were musicians who couldn't wait to arrive early, and the Starlight Entertainment team.

On the plane, Li Can, his heart pounding with excitement, kept thinking about all the feedback he had received recently and couldn't sleep at all.

"I think I have another idea."

"You better not get any ideas!!"

Lin Feng, who was not far away, was the first to react in a nervous manner, letting out a loud shout that startled everyone.

"Li Can, I'm warning you, don't let your clever little brain of yours get the better of you during this time! Winnie, you'd better keep a close eye on him."

"Uh-huh!"

Winnie nodded repeatedly, her gaze fixed on Li Can with a death stare.

It was exhilarating, indeed, but it was also incredibly painful.

Not to mention that each person needs to coordinate and practice with countless musicians.
The sheer volume of enthusiasm and the mobilization underway were enough to send shivers down the spines of even seasoned veterans.

Winnie thought she had gotten used to Li Can's abstract nature and was not afraid of any strange behavior he might do.

But this time I'm genuinely a little scared.

If such a large-scale event were to be disrupted by some strange little ideas, I can't even imagine what the scene would be like.

Especially Lin Feng.

I've already started having nightmares about the hellish scene of publicly offering New Year's greetings in front of 340,000 people.

"."

Li Can's face darkened.

"I just wanted to think about whether to make a final promotional video."

"Stop promoting it! If you keep promoting it, Dunhuang will explode."

The usually composed Zhao Ze suddenly uttered two curse words.

I knew that Brother Can was a crazy person, but I never dared to imagine how many people would come and how crazy he would be.

The massive performance with 340,000 spectators had already pushed the power of the ancient god's faith to its limit; I'm really afraid Li Can will pull off some unexpected tricks.

".Fine."

It's a pity that Li Can has to back down; he could have taken the opportunity to promote Xia culture.
In fact, Li Can didn't need to consider this at all.

Countless promotional videos of Dunhuang, both past and present, have been unearthed by netizens in their travel guides.

Many content creators, recognizing the key to success, began steer the discussion towards the cultural exchange and integration that has taken place in Dunhuang since ancient times.

You don't even need to take the initiative.

Those foreign music fans who are passionate about DP and rock music spontaneously and proactively seek to learn more about the related culture.

Li Can and others are rehearsing.

The fans were also busy.

Foreigners are seeking travel tips, while Chinese netizens are starting to recommend travel options.

Once all four thousand musicians had arrived, the rehearsal phase had reached its mid-to-late stage.

Many foreigners are so familiar with Dunhuang that they can even recite the routes of all the buses in Dunhuang. Their familiarity with Dunhuang is almost like that of a second hometown they have never visited.
