China Entertainment 2000

Whether for Warner Records or Arsenal Football Club, this is a top priority that deserves to be put on the desk first.

Warner Records naturally needs no further explanation. The first stop of Big Daddy's concert must be perfect;

For Arsenal Club, Zhou Yi's concert will undoubtedly help them generate income, which is the most important point.

As one of the most famous stadiums in London, Highbury Stadium has been using its fame to help Arsenal make money during the team's off-season since its completion in 1913. The most famous of them is that on May 21, 1966, Muhammad Ali knocked down Cooper here and became the heavyweight boxing champion gold belt winner.

As we all know, boxing matches are the most lucrative matches on the planet, no doubt.

After that match, Highbury Stadium was rented out more and more easily.

"London is a place with money, and Arsenal fans are used to high prices. This is a good momentum for your price anchoring when you open a painting."

Talking about planning, Qian Jiang explained the future in detail.

In this era, it is easy to see how popular a singer is in the mass market - one is album sales, and the other is the number of people at the concert and the ticket price.

Before Zhou Yi, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, not to mention in Europe and the United States, even in the Southeast Asian countries where they are bragging, they can only open a small venue with about 5,000 to 8,000 people, and the ticket sales rate is only a pitiful 47%-53%.

That is, at most only about half of the tickets can be sold, and the rest have to be given away as free tickets to interested passers-by to fill the venue.

Zhou Yi is different.

"You have never held a concert in the English-speaking area before. The opening price and scale of this first concert determine the Western world's evaluation of your concert market. So my idea is to set a high standard."

Qian Jiang's eyes were very firm: "The minimum ticket price is 80 pounds, and the maximum ticket price is 160 pounds. Even if it loses money in the end, the company will raise the standard of your first overseas concert."

"..."

Even Zhou Yi couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

In 2004, 100 pounds was roughly equivalent to 1,491 yuan. Therefore, theoretically, if this price is converted into RMB, it is already higher than the ticket price of his domestic concert.

Of course, London earns pounds and spends pounds, so this thing cannot be converted so easily.

In comparison, the highest official ticket price for the legendary band Rolling Stones' concert in London is only 150 pounds these days--

Considering Zhou Yi's super high popularity, Qian Jiang directly raised it by 10 pounds on this basis.

"Okay, at most, the marketing will be a little more ruthless."

After thinking again and again, Zhou Yi nodded--to put it bluntly, he also wanted to try.

Two albums in the 30 million club, nine Grammy trophies, and the second album created a miracle of five Billboard Top 100 singles in one album, and all songs ranked among the top in more than 30 countries around the world.

This is the report card he handed in at the end of his record era.

With this foundation, he felt that the price of his concert did not need to be deliberately lowered to win the praise of foreigners.

That is to say, the ticket price cannot be sold at the level of Michael Jackson, otherwise he would like to compare with him.

"Let's start with football first. The song "Unstoppable" can be released for promotion first." After thinking about it, Zhou Yi still chose to start with the song "Unstoppable".

In his third English album, this song was selected by the Asian Football Confederation, and the content of the MV happened to be Zhou Yi's content about football-

Starting from a child who loves football but has been frustrated, step by step through unremitting training and the spirit of never giving up, he stepped into the professional football field and became the only Chinese player to score a goal in the 2002 World Cup finals;

Tribute to the legendary shooter Zhou Yi who shot in the 2002 World Cup final and scored a goal: the conversion rate of shots and goals in the finals is as high as an astonishing 100%!

The team lost, but Zhou Yi did not lose!

After the World Cup defeat, Zhou Yi, who encountered setbacks again, did not get discouraged in the face of the blow, and finally led the team to win the championship in the 2004 Asian Cup in China, becoming the king of Asia.

A very inspiring story.

Especially in terms of editing, the AFC also provided a lot of convenience. Finally, the Chinese Football Association specially opened the Workers' Stadium, which has been used as the venue for the final of this Asian Cup, for Zhou Yi to shoot the MV.

Of course, due to copyright reasons, the Asian Cup version of the promotional video of this song is all real players from various national teams; but in his own MV, these players can only be blurred in the form of silhouettes and phantoms.

The UK is a country with a very strong football community atmosphere. There are as many as 17 professional football clubs in the City of London alone, covering the Premier League and regional leagues. This MV, combined with the song "Unstoppable", should have a very good publicity effect.

"Okay, I'll arrange it. This way, I can warm up for you in London and get votes."

Qian Jiang nodded.

This London concert was scheduled on July 2 according to the off-season business schedule of Highbury Stadium.

As usual, if you want to start releasing singles first to test the waters for an album, you can do it one to three months in advance. Considering that the release date of the third album is July 15th, releasing the first single of the album almost now is in line with Zhou Yi's usual rhythm.

"Also, please help me ask if anyone has any skydiving training. In the next month or so, in addition to waiting for Highbury Stadium to be renovated according to my concert requirements, I also plan to practice Practicing a new way of playing can be regarded as a way to make them worth the price. ”

Before Qian Jiang left, Zhou Yi stopped him and added this sentence.

"parachute?"

"right."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi sounded excited and eager to try: "Highbury Stadium is so empty, I want to try this novel way of entering."

Although Wenger disliked the small size of Highbury and began to want to build a new big stadium, that was from the perspective of a football manager.

For a concert, with nearly 40,000 seats and a large stadium, it is already considered a big occasion.

Of course, in the final analysis, he still wanted to use a novel way to silence the British media - or, in other words, start a war of words.

As we all know, the British media are mostly bad and pusy.

The British media lacks great virtue, and everyone from the royal family to the common people can learn from it.

If Zhouyi sets this price, he will inevitably be criticized verbally and writtenly.

So he plans to try James Bond’s skydiving approach to the London Olympics in the future——

Regardless of other things, at least he is handsome and stylish.

Of course, this is also an idea. If training fails by then, he will have to give up this idea and honestly think about other conventional or unconventional ways of playing.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Qian Jiang nodded.

Afterwards, under his arrangement, ppable" was quietly sent to London, England in 2004.

As the album’s lead single, “Unstoppable” has a cover——

On the cover, Zhou Yi, wearing a jersey and sneakers, with his hands on his hips and a football under his feet, somewhat confused the Arsenal publicity department staff who came to accept the publicity task.

If this is a real player, if Arsenal sign him, will they be able to capture the market like AC Milan superstar Kaká?

Or even bigger?

In his opinion, Zhou Yi's temperament after putting on the jersey is even better than Kaka.

Look at the NBA next door. The Chinese market promoted by Yao Ming makes people salivate.
