"South America is a little bit worse ...... law and order right now"

"Isn't it bad all the time?"

"This year has been particularly bad." During the boring voyage, Ms. Sloane chatted with Song Ya.

"The two major traffickers in Medellín and Cali in Colombia have declined one after another in the Brawl War intervened by the United States, and the traffickers have scattered to South American countries to find new 'trade routes' to the United States, Mexico and Honduras...... Brazil is also included. ”

"MJ is on a history tour that starts almost at the same time as your perfect score tour, and I don't want to come to South America for 90 concerts in two years," she said. During the '93 Dangerous Tour, he held more than a dozen concerts in Central and South America. ”

"The audience is different."

On the bright side, I've been as careful as possible with security, never playing with dangerous stage effects like lifts and trapeze artists like MJ and Madonna, paying extra attention to any unexpected points such as fireworks, letting Mike Sr. lead the security team, and so on. Song Ya laughed: "I am more popular in Latin-speaking countries. ”

"Hah!"

Sloan stopped talking about the topic, and the two began to ask and answer questions, practicing how to respond to the local media according to the memo given by Anschutz and Sony Columbia Records, which was not difficult, nothing more than how much they loved each other's country, showed off the local language, and at the same time put on a good role as a red star in the United States.

Song Ya was distracted and listened to the negotiation between Anschutz and Hamlin, who was also in the first class next to him, and the booking momentum was very good, and they wanted to temporarily add some more performances.

One more in São Paulo, two more in Mexico City, one more in Lisbon in Europe, and one more trip to Zaragoza in Spain.

The talks almost reached such a result, and he instructed Hamlin to agree to this condition at most, and the two sides have been negotiating for some time, and only finally finalized. The tour schedule in two months has been increased from eight to thirteen, which are:

One in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Two in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Two in Buenos Aires, Argentina

One in Santiago, Chile

Three in Mexico City, Mexico

Two games in Lisbon, Portugal

One in Madrid, Spain

One in Zaragoza, Spain

Last year's four small-scale tours in the United States were considered to test the waters, and the full score of the global tour was also more restrained in the first half of this year, in fact, if you really enter the tour rhythm of top singers, you will have to hold at least 70 concerts in two years.

The Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge tour held a crazy 129 concerts around the world last year and the year before last, with an average audience of 50,000, an average income of 2.5 million dollars per game, and a total income of 320 million dollars, the first in history. The 3DFX trio named the chip Voodoo after the Rolling Stones.

Madonna's 93-year girl show concert also held 39 times, with an average income of 1.79 million yuan per game, and 70 million dollars a year.

Due to the stage performance, the most profitable concert is the rock band, and the box office income of the singing and dancing singers is much worse than that of the rock band with the same coffee position, with the exception of MJ and Madonna.

The performance of other types of singers is even worse, and the most popular country singer in the United States, Garth Brooks, has an average audience of more than 20,000 per concert, and the average income per concert is less than 500,000 dollars, which is still in the base camp of the United States.

After all, most ordinary people buy tickets to watch concerts in pursuit of an atmosphere, to have fun with rock bands, or to watch idol superstars sing and dance and dazzling stage performances. At this point, no matter how good the ex-wife Mariah Carey's records are, she can't dance, and her vocal singing method that consumes her voice extremely can't afford to perform high-intensity tours.

And hip-hop singers, who have no precedent for a global tour at the moment, are the first themselves.

Of course, I'm not exactly a hip-hop singer, and Latin audiences don't want to see hip-hop, but Ai Se Eu Te Pego, a Portuguese saliva song that is a hit in the Latin-speaking region, is the reason why Anschutz is willing to invest in a full-score tour, plus Mambo No 5 and Angelina, two mambo dance songs that Latin audiences love.

The whole concert takes more than two hours, and Anschutz has doubts about whether the other tracks can capture the hearts of the audience, so he is so careful.

At least until now, he is still popular in South America, and Ai Se Eu Te Pego has been on the singles charts in many countries for a long time until it was beaten by the Spanish singer Macarena, who set off a global craze. Latin American fans, especially female fans, still see themselves as idol stars who sing love songs.

“APLUS。”

Hamlin and Anschutz's people came to find the negotiated documents, anyway, the plane was boring, Song Ya looked at it carefully and felt that there was no problem and signed it directly.

"If the feedback from South America is good, it is estimated that the number of games will be greatly increased in the second half of next year, APLUS, you are also very popular in Asia, especially in Chinese-speaking areas, you may not be able to imagine it yourself."

Anschutz said excitedly.

"I hope so."

Even MJ and Madonna, the world tour is also a large part of their income, but they are different, the tour career is like acting in Hollywood, should I polish my acting skills? Yes, is there room for improvement? Of course, there is a lot of space, after all, I think that the acting skills in reality are outstanding, but the cost is not very worth it for me now, with this energy and time, it is better to go online more to explore some familiar Internet investment goals, take care of its companies, and even do a few more law test questions to enrich your head.

It's just that at present, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Anschutz, and the theme song of the World Cup still needs to be fought for, and that global influence is another level.

"Of course, we will make it!"

Anschutz's man had no idea what was in his mind, "We've done a lot for you, APLUS." ”

"I know."

Song Ya nodded in appreciation.

There is a lot of cost to go on a global tour, and purely from the point of view of the recording industry, the higher the 'output' per unit of time, the greater the profit.

For example, although the core personnel used for my tour are only one-third of MJ's, and the publicity efforts are about a similar proportion, they are also concerts with tens of thousands of people, and the number of local staff and security personnel hired cannot be suppressed, and a complete set of tour teams such as lighting, sound, generators, stage equipment transportation, catering, travel agents, insurance, etc., are also indispensable and cheap.

Therefore, if you open more shows in the same city, the more dense the schedule will be, the more you can dilute the cost.

The reason why Anschutz is willing to bear the cost waste caused by the lack of performances is because he has enough confidence in himself, and on the other hand, he does not have many choices, yes, his family is a global giant, but his status in the field of performance management is far inferior to the sports industry, probably only ranked third to fifth in the whole meter, there are not many superstars signed, and there is still a big gap from the strongest SFX company.

They are reluctant to let go of the opportunity to accompany the potential superstar of the tour all the way from scratch, and the demonstration effect on other artists alone is worth it, and the parent company's financial resources are enough to support the long-term patience of the performance management department, so these executives are more willing to coax themselves to let them go.

They coaxed themselves, and they coaxed them, at least before singing the theme song of the World Cup in 98, Song Ya didn't mind the sincere cooperation between the two sides, but if he really asked himself to sing more than 100 performances in two years in the future......

Then I have to say another thing, my net worth is still to work as cattle and horses to earn money from hard work...... It's not worth it.

With this thought, Song Ya dragged a stall over her body and closed her eyes to rest.

The twelve-hour journey was quick to fall asleep, and by the time he was pushed awake again, it was already dark outside the porthole.

“APLUS！ Yes! Yes! ”

As soon as they left the terminal of Rio Airport, the South American fans who came to pick up the plane were deafening and screaming to surround the group, and Song Ya was squeezed like a small boat in the sea under the protection of Lao Mike and others.

That sounded right, he smiled and waved his hand, occasionally signing his signature on the countless pieces of paper, notebook, and even clothes that reached out in front of him.
