Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 497 Three-Peat (13)

Shen Yan's tour was originally scheduled to cover 17 cities, with a total of 20 shows...

Four more games were added in the end…

The reason is simple: every show is sold out, and tickets are impossible to get.

It's incredibly popular; tickets for Shen Yan's concerts often sell out instantly when they go on sale...

His tour venues are mostly large stadiums that can accommodate more than 3 people!

Based on the scale of the performance, international tours are generally divided into three levels: general tours, arena tours, and stadium tours.

Typical tour venues include bars, livehouses, and small theaters, with a capacity of around 1000 people.

Most idol artists' regular tours consist of fan meetings held in small theaters, emphasizing fan interaction and not requiring much from stage performance.

The next level down is the Arena Tour, which is the most common type of tour for idol artists. These are mostly held in indoor stadiums that can accommodate 3000 to 10000 people.

For idol artists, this type of tour is the safest option, as it allows for a certain level of stage design while ensuring attendance and fan interaction.

At the Stadium Tour level, the performance venue becomes a large outdoor sports stadium that can accommodate more than 30000 people.

Simply put, one Stadium Tour is roughly equivalent to five Arena Tours. The huge number of seats and the open sound projection pose a great challenge to the singer's live performance skills and popularity!

Shen Yan initially misunderstood his popularity and was hesitant to apply for the Stadium Tour directly, but the Workers' Stadium was packed for three consecutive days...

The Workers' Stadium has a capacity of 64000 people!

Shen Yan's three concerts were all sold out...

Sponsors directly upgraded my level…

Then several large stadiums, such as Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium, Dalian Sports Center Stadium, and Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center Stadium, all had an attendance rate of over 90%!

Tickets for the inner field at Shanghai Station saw a premium of 180%, while tickets for Guangzhou Station sold out in 10 seconds.

Many sessions had three-sided tables, and some even had four-sided tables...

Currently, the highest attendance record for a concert is held by Andy Lau in 2004, with 100 million people attending 19 shows at the Four-Sided Stage Stadium, averaging 5 people per show!

Shen Yan definitely can't compare...

But the average box office revenue per venue for the 24 concerts exceeded 2800 million!
Total box office revenue exceeded 800 million, and brand sponsorship revenue approached 300 million…

Concert revenue distribution: The organizer and the artist's team each receive approximately 43% of the revenue, while the ticketing platform and the event organizer are responsible for dividing the remaining portion.

In addition, the profits from the sale of official merchandise of artists, such as T-shirts, posters, and light sticks, will belong to the artist and their management company.

In other words, after 24 shows, Shen Yan will earn at least 3.5 million yuan!
That calculation is certainly correct, but Shen Yan's team for each concert is in the hundreds, and the venue rental fees are top-of-the-line, including the most advanced equipment...

For example, the Shanghai Stadium costs 120 million yuan per day for venue fees!
You need to rent the venue for at least five days to hold a concert, and you also have to pay for the setup and dismantling of the venue...

The cost of one event is at least 800 million!
The sound system for each performance costs 300 million yuan!

Therefore, the actual income is not that high...

It will be allocated to about 30%...

That's over 2.5 million!

Is that amazing?

Look at Zhang Xueyou, 125 tour shows a year, box office revenue of 26.1 billion... I heard his wife, Luo Meiwei, is a spendthrift.

It is likely true. Hong Kong media reported that in 2008, May Lo invested in Lehman Brothers, which subsequently collapsed, resulting in a loss of HK$4000 million.

To make up for the family's financial difficulties, Zhang Xueyou held more than 100 concerts in a row.

He's made a comeback in the last two years, touring over a hundred shows a year, despite his advanced age...

……

Shen Yan then went on tour...

The film market continues to be hot. As expected, "Mr. Go" could not beat "Fame and Fortune," which successfully won the box office for three consecutive weeks, with a box office of 2.2 million yuan in the third week and a cumulative box office of more than 8.4 million yuan in three weeks!
Currently ranked second for the year.

Currently, "American Dreams in China" has grossed 16.68 billion yuan, and "Fame and Fortune" has grossed 8.41 million yuan...

Shen Yan took the top two spots on the annual box office charts…

The two films have grossed nearly 25 billion yuan!
If we include the films produced by the company, "Finding Mr. Right" grossed 6.86 million yuan, "Blind" grossed 4.37 million yuan, and "Northeast Folk Tales" grossed 4.04 million yuan.

They're all in the top ten of the year...

Only three movies, "So Young," "Iron Man," and "Tiny Times," have grossed over 4 million yuan!
In other words, Shen Yan and Spark Studio occupied five of the top ten spots...

Moreover, from the perspective of film history, "The Big Shot" is the first film in the Chinese entertainment industry to break the 1 billion yuan mark.

In terms of pure box office revenue, no one can beat Shen Yan!
Shen Yan's fans... have long since developed an invincible mentality...

When "American Dreams in China" topped the charts, a bunch of people flooded social media with posts about it...

When it came to "Making a Name for Oneself," I wasn't as excited.

The meaning of "how many habits become second nature"!
However, recent public opinion has focused on the Daily News article criticizing "Tiny Times"...

State media intervened, saying, "We cannot unconditionally condone the emergence of 'Tiny Times 2' and 'Tiny Times 3'!"
The wording is quite harsh. For example, if all we see and hear are films like "Tiny Times," or if we unconditionally condone the emergence of "Tiny Times 2" and "Tiny Times 3" because of box office profits, then materialism and consumerism will guide social trends. The small era, the small world, and the small scale will obscure or even replace the big era, the big world, and the big scale. Individuals or small groups may succeed in their capital operations, but the cultural construction and dissemination of an era will be out of control.

They've practically portrayed "Tiny Times" as the culprit that undermines the construction of spiritual civilization!
After The Daily News took the lead, a host of other media outlets followed suit, with similar topics such as "How to end the 'Tiny Times' era."

Is the "Tiny Times" series going to be banned?

Similar public opinion has been raging...

A bunch of haters retweeted the comment...

Cheers and jubilation: The ban on "Tiny Times" and its series is just around the corner!

In fact, the Daily News frequently reviews TV dramas and films; last year it even criticized "Empresses in the Palace"...

Later, he also satirized "Gone with the Bullets"—the reason why big directors lost face was related to their "too willful" nature, which was the result of their ambition and egoism.

I have no idea what kind of works they like!
However, soon after, the Daily News published another article: "Changing social morality cannot rely on suppressing 'Tiny Times'!"
It just feels... so hard to figure out!

I really don't know what they're thinking...

During the 2016 Lunar New Year film season, they also played this trick, first by criticizing Douban and Maoyan's rating mechanisms: "Negative reviews are leading viewers to boycott domestic films," and then by commenting that "Chinese films need to have the capacity to tolerate 'one-star' ratings"...

I really can't figure out which one is real!
Then... "Tiny Times 2: The Age of Green" announced its release date of August 9th.

Gao Qunshu got furious and went on a tirade on Weibo, accusing Guo Jingming of targeting him!
他有依据的——“七夕档”原本只有《风花雪月》《一夜惊喜》和《宫锁沉香》三部影片上映，前两部由原计划的8月13日提档至8月9日上映后，《小时代2》突然“杀了进来”，并且也是8月9日上映。

This is targeting me; they're trying to teach me a lesson!
