Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Chapter 258 Consumers. Scalpers. Capital

She just went to work after the holiday today. Chen Guoguo was sitting in the office and secretly opened Taobao on her mobile phone. She couldn't help but sigh again when she saw the price of the Qingmang Lu Band sold by scalpers in Chengdu.

The ticket for the grandstand that she had chosen earlier was priced at 480 yuan, but the scalpers had sold it for 2,000 yuan! The highest price of 980 yuan has been sold to 4,000 yuan!

And, it’s still for sale!

In other words, even if you have money now, it’s hard to get a ticket.

This made her very depressed.

Why.

It seems that I really have no chance to see my uncle.

Even looking at it from a distance.

"Chen Guoguo, your express delivery." The colleague on duty today came into the office with a pile of new newspapers, and there was also an EMS mail on it.

"Thanks".

Chen Guoguo said, feeling a little puzzled.

Who emails themselves?

When she opened it, she was stunned. It was a ticket for Qingmanglu Band's concert in Chengdu, and it was the best seat!

There was a piece of letter attached inside, and he wrote a simple paragraph mainly to thank her for her help, to present a ticket on behalf of Yu Dongqing's studio, and to hope that she would be happy every day.

The signature was signed by Dieffenbachia Studio, Luo Yun.

Finally I have the uncle’s ticket.

Chen Guoguo felt very happy.

After all, there are only a handful of people like Chen Guoguo, and both the studio and the organizer only have a small portion of the increased votes.

Many fans who were unable to buy concert tickets were angry and called scalpers online.

Qingmanglu concert can sell for 1280 for 4000 instantly

If you can't buy it, don't go see it.

Let the scalpers smash it into their hands.

Some even went to Yu Dongqing's Weibo to leave messages and complain.

Yu Dongqing also felt very helpless.

According to the contract, the entire ticketing is handled by the organizer Huangdu Film and Television, and Yu Dongqing’s studio is not specifically involved.

Take free tickets for example.

Generally, the free tickets for a concert may be around 10% to 20%, but the studio only gets about 50 free tickets for each concert.

The main recipients of ticket giveaways are organizers, cooperative media, public relations companies, concert venues, etc.

Of course, these complimentary tickets may also become the main source of scalper tickets.

After practicing at noon today, Yu Dongqing and others took a break after eating and talked about this matter.

"Dongqing, that's quite polite to you. Some of them directly left messages on my Weibo to scold me!" Zhang Yang was helpless.

Speaking of this matter, Zhang Yang and Liu Yimin also felt deeply.

I feel really bad when I encounter something like this before I even start singing.

Du Hui seemed to take it lightly and said with a smile: "From an economic point of view, ticket scalping is unavoidable. If there is demand, there will be a market and people will pay high prices to buy tickets to watch the show. It is normal to curse a few times if you feel unhappy. .”

"If you want to scold, you should scold those who scalped votes. What does it have to do with us?" Zhang Yang muttered.

"Actually, it's not the scalpers who should be scolded the most, but the organizers! Where did the scalpers get so many votes? If Huangdu Media didn't collude with those big scalpers, I won't believe it to death."

Du Hui sneered.

"Really?" Liu Yimin didn't believe it.

"Come on, let me educate you on the economic principles here." Du Hui suddenly suffered from an occupational disease: "The organizer is equivalent to a listed company, the ticket buyers are like brokers, and the fans and scalpers are equivalent to stock investors.

Since the tickets for our concerts are limited after all, the imbalance between supply and demand creates a secondary market."

"For consumers, they have spent too much money and want to kill all the scalpers in the world, but for capital, scalpers are partners of capital and agents of their own interests."

Du Hui talked a lot, and Liu Yimin finally understood it.

Yu Dongqing said nothing.

He has long understood these principles.

It was already commonplace in that time and space.

However, you have to do something, right?

Thinking of this, he left the recording studio and went to Luo Yun's office.

"Recently, vote scalping has become a hot topic. What do you think?" Yu Dongqing got straight to the point.

"What do you think? It just means that you are too popular. I guess a tour can't solve the problem." Luo Yun joked, but seeing that Yu Dongqing's face didn't look good, she put away her smile and said seriously:

"Holly, you also know that this really has nothing to do with us. Even Huangdu Media, they can't do anything about it. After all, this is market behavior."

"You can't say that, right? At least you need to take some action, right?" Yu Dongqing replied lightly.

"did you mean?"

"Let Huangdu Media issue an announcement requiring all premium platforms to stop selling premium tickets, otherwise the organizer will take legal measures."

"Ah, this?"

Luo Yun was surprised.

"If Huangdu Media doesn't agree, if we do any singing or the like next time, we won't cooperate with them." After Yu Dongqing said that, he turned and left.

"What? You want our Huangdu Media to issue a statement?" On the other end of the phone, Sun Shaojun was very surprised.

"Yes, stop selling premium tickets, otherwise the organizer will take legal measures!" Luo Yun spoke crisply: "This is not just my intention, it is Yu Dongqing's intention."

On the other end of the phone, Sun Shaojun was silent for a moment before replying: "Okay then, I'll ask the Legal Department to handle this matter as soon as possible."

"Mr. Sun, isn't this Yu Dongqing going a little too far? He's actually dictating matters related to our imperial capital?"

When Sun Shaojun's secretary heard the content on the phone, he said a little unconvinced.

"You don't have to agree, then I guess Yu Dongqing won't cooperate with us next time, and we can't afford to offend."

Sun Shaojun sighed.

Soon, an announcement appeared on the official website of Huangdu Film and Television and its official Weibo.

The content roughly states that the company only entrusts a few officially designated websites to sell tickets, but it was found that XX.net xx stores and other stores openly or covertly sell concert tickets for various reasons, and the prices are much higher than the face value.

In order to protect the rights and interests of fans and consumers to the greatest extent, starting from the announcement, the above-mentioned website platforms are required to stop sales and close relevant channels, otherwise legal measures will be taken.

The power of Huangdu Media is not an exaggeration. After the announcement, all kinds of ticket reselling at high prices on the Internet quickly disappeared.

In fact, Yu Dongqing also knows that an announcement cannot stop anything. It can only stop premium platforms from selling tickets, but it cannot stop offline scalpers. There are still many fans who have not been able to grab tickets and will choose to buy high-priced tickets from scalpers.

But do you want to have a clear conscience?

The ticket scalping incident has finally passed, and as the concert date approaches, another piece of news has become a hot topic.

What kind of songs will the Qingmanglu Band sing about this city at their concerts in each city?

The first to bear the brunt is the imperial capital.

Originally, people thought they would sing the popular song "Bei Jing Bei Jing".

But when Luo Yun made a statement at the press conference and Tang Guang was scheduled to sing the song at the Yanjing concert as a guest singer, everyone knew that there would indeed be a new song.

In order to maintain the mystery, the organizers played it safe and uncharacteristically did not write the title of the last song on the program list, replacing it with "a song about Beijing."

The departure caused widespread speculation among netizens.

Similar to "Beijing Beijing" rock?

Or is it the ballad that Qingmangli Band is best at?

Or is it?

other?

On the evening of October 20th, Saturday night, the first stop of Qingmanglu Band's national tour - Yanjing Concert kicked off at the National Stadium.

Thanks to Kaizi Cai and others for their monthly votes
