The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3120
No matter how the girls explained, Li Menglong turned a deaf ear to it.

After all, he didn't really want to go to the concert, he didn't even know the other group, so it was too much against his will to say he was going to the concert.

If it is to experience the feeling of a concert, he also has a cheaper alternative.

There are a bunch of top singers living in the family. If the resources are not utilized, what is the purpose of living with them?
It's not that Li Menglong complained about these women, they are really useless!
Eating and sleeping at home all day, sleeping and eating, it is a struggle to ask them to do some work, the key is that they really can't do it well.

It is an exaggeration to say that they are just looking at beautiful vases, and they have no practical help in daily life.

The most speechless thing is that their most valued ability is "good-looking", which is rarely seen here in Li Menglong.

So if they don't add some self-worth, Li Menglong really has to consider whether to move away.

But for Li Menglong's complaints, the girls are not worried at all, does he have the money to move out?

It's not that the girls are boasting, but Li Menglong's current treatment is something that ordinary artists can't afford.

Look at the room he lives in, then what he eats every day, and finally open his closet to see the piles of clothes inside.

In terms of basic necessities of life, food, housing, and transportation, the girls have already given him the best treatment. The industry does not say that this is the only one, but there is no other semicolon.

If Li Menglong can find a new rich woman, they are willing to let go, but does Li Menglong have the strength?

This kind of ridicule can be completely ignored by Li Menglong's ears. He is now focused on buying concert tickets, and the price is ridiculously high.

To be honest, the girls were all shocked when they saw the price. Is it possible to make so much money by holding a concert?
As absolute insiders, the girls still have a basic understanding of the income of the concert, and even in terms of their popularity, they basically belong to the most profitable one.

But they still didn't expect that the ticket price of the concert would be copied to such an extent!

So they had similar scenes in their concerts in the past?They are really unimaginable!

The key is that the money will not flow into their pockets, that's the point, their money was stolen by scalpers!

Faced with the sudden runaway of the girls, Li Menglong was caught off guard, and they even snatched his mobile phone.

The girls are desperately wanting to match up with the guy on the opposite side, they want to get back the money that was robbed!

This kind of schizophrenic dialogue really made the scalper on the opposite side unable to deal with it.

He's been in this business for so long, and he hasn't seen anyone come to ask him for money. Did this group of people mistake each other's identities?
However, through the exchange of few words, he still managed to understand a little bit. The person opposite seemed to have bought Girls' Generation concert tickets from him in the past.

In this way, the context is clearer. Do you feel that compared with this time, the asking price last time was too high?
Thinking that this is an old customer, and based on the idea that the business cannot be done in a righteous way, this person who started a long speech gave the girls the basic information.

The core meaning is that girls are too popular, and there are too many people rushing to see their concerts. This is a basic fact.

He even took the initiative to list the ticket prices of other artists, and responsibly affirmed that the girls' tickets were the most expensive ones he had ever dealt with.

This flattery has really confused the girls, should they continue to get angry?

It stands to reason that you can't reach out to the smiling person, and if they hold themselves so high, if they don't give in, will they be too unreasonable?
But when they think that the other party has made so much more money from them, their hearts are bleeding.

Not only for myself, but also for the fans' wallets. After all, it is the fans who suffer directly.

The girls' continuous accusations not only failed to silence the opponent, but also made the opponent start to complain.

Why is this industry being discriminated against? They are just porters of tickets. Of course, the cost of tickets is still an issue.

According to what he said, he didn't get the tickets at the original price. He already added a lot of money to the ticket price. He couldn't possibly sell it at a loss, right?

In this way, things become interesting. The scalpers seem to be just the last link in reselling tickets. There seem to be many behind-the-scenes hands behind the scenes. Who are they?

The girls really want to find out these people, no matter how bad they are, they can be more careful, so as not to be scolded and not know what happened.

Naturally, they don't want to inquire and ask questions by themselves, but someone from the company must know, because they have actually held a concert, and the company should have gone through a complete process, or Li Menglong will ask?

The girls were thinking about how to please Li Menglong, but they saw him looking like he wanted to slip away. What does this mean?
Based on their understanding of Li Menglong, it can almost be concluded that Li Menglong knows the inside story, so he is just hiding it from them?

The girls didn't dare to think deeply about it anymore. Could it be that the company teamed up with Li Menglong to cheat their money?

It's not accurate to say that, it should be said that they are using their popularity to scam their fans' money!

But this statement can be more beautified, because seriously, the core income of an artist is the money "cheat" from fans!
Even the artists themselves cannot deny this point. Although they have put in a lot of sweat and hard work, compared with their income, it seems that the money is still too easy.

It's just that people still have to have a bottom line. "Cheating money" also has to distinguish methods. What's the difference between this and directly grabbing it?
The girls stopped Li Menglong with a sullen face. They must have an explanation today, so he quickly told him everything he knew!

"I don't know much. Otherwise, I'll call Li Enxi over for you. If you have any questions, go talk to her?"

Li Menglong tried to throw out the burden, but the girls didn't buy it at all, they insisted that Li Menglong speak up!
That being the case, let’s talk about it, it’s not a secret that can’t be told, and even many fans have similar speculations, but there is no evidence.

Many people have suspected that the scalpers and performance companies have an interest relationship, otherwise, where did the scalpers get so many stable ticket sources?
As for how the tickets sold at a high price are divided between the two, that is not so important, anyway, it will not fall into the hands of everyone.

Li Menglong can say with certainty that this kind of thing must exist, especially in some small and medium-sized companies, what can't be done in order to make more money.

It's just that if you insist on saying that big companies will also end in person, then you will underestimate these companies.

Because the sky-high price in the eyes of ordinary people is pitifully small in terms of the total ticket revenue of tens of thousands or even 10 people.

It is better to spend so much effort just to get this little extra money, and think about how to start another game, and earn back all the money.

So some middlemen are involved in this, and the composition of these people and even the source of tickets are too complicated.

Some people are small executives in the company who want to make some extra money by taking advantage of the power in their hands; there are also people who are in charge of this in the ticketing company.

Of course, there are also people who search for tickets distributed within the company, and there are not a few people who are willing to sell them.

In short, these situations do exist, and most large companies know about them, but it is impossible to completely eliminate them.

To put it bluntly, the company did not pay for the price increase. Since everyone in the company can make money, why make everyone unhappy?
Therefore, it is not uncommon for the show operation of directly distributing concert tickets as bonuses. Anyway, there is no need to worry about sales, and the price is even quite beautiful.

"And then? Is that why the company doesn't do anything?"

"Then what's wrong with the fans? Why do they have to buy those high-priced tickets?"

"The money can be completely taken over by the company, earning less but as long as it is fair, isn't that okay?"

Faced with the girls' doubts, Li Menglong didn't know how to explain it.

How can they say it so simply, behaviors like hoarding and reselling exist in almost all walks of life, and they are regarded as chronic diseases at the social level, rooted in human genes.

To put it a bit exaggeratedly, those fans who bought tickets at a high price might agree with this method, otherwise let them go and grab tickets together?

Or even if ordinary fans grab the front row tickets, will they resist the temptation of cash in the face of the high prices of these people?

It is nothing more than redistribution of the benefits of the "scalper tickets", and there will be no change in essence, especially if the time is prolonged.

Li Menglong also does not recognize this phenomenon, the only thing he can do is to make sure that the company does not do this openly, and the rest is out of his control.

If I have to say it, maybe star chasing itself is already a bit deformed, especially when it comes to money.

But this topic is enough to make several doctoral students graduate. Li Menglong thinks that he has not reached this level. Besides, he just eats this bowl of rice. He really can't do it if he is asked to pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold his mother.

With Li Menglong's statement, the atmosphere on the scene was still so heavy.

Even Li Menglong couldn't give an answer to the question. If the girls wanted to give a reliable solution, it would be too embarrassing for them.

But although they can't solve the fundamental problem, it's not difficult to make small changes, at least not let the money be made by scalpers.

"We will hold concerts in the future, we will buy the front row tickets ourselves, and then give them to fans, what do you think?"

This question was asked by Kim Taeyeon, but it was also agreed by the girls collectively.

They are really not short of money now, and they have indeed reached the position where they can repay their fans. This is completely from the heart.

I thought that this best-of-both-worlds approach would be praised by Li Menglong, but he looked constipated, obviously wanting to object but dared not speak up.

This makes the girls very upset. Is there any fatal loophole in their method?
"Are you sure you won't do anything, right? Then I'll just say it, have you considered the anger of the fans?"

Li Menglong just made a simple extension. If the number of fans of the girls does not drop significantly, there will always be fans who will not get tickets, no matter what method is used.

But in the past, they would vent this part of their anger on scalpers, and even go so far as to scold fans who bought scalpers tickets at high prices.

But after the girls' actions, will everyone's anger be transferred to them?

Fans can ask, why only send it to those people, but not to yourself?Aren't they fans of girls?

This is just a simple example from Li Menglong, but this scene is already quite terrifying.

The girls clearly know the power of fans, and when this power plays a positive role, they can use it to reach the peak.

But once this power is used in the wrong direction, it will be the state they were in when they were in the Black Sea.

The collection and distribution of many groups is actually done by fans, and there may not be so much malice in it, but judging from the results, it is undoubtedly a lose-lose situation.

"So there's nothing we can do?"

"Uh... Otherwise, if you give me all the extra tickets, I will definitely sell them much cheaper than scalpers. After all, we don't have middlemen here to collect the difference!"

Li Menglong's words seem to be joking, but after serious consideration, it may be the most reliable way.

Of course, the premise is that his identity will not be dug out, otherwise he is destined to implicate the girls, why don't you give it a try?

Li Menglong even took the initiative to encourage the girls. In his opinion, this is also a way to get rich, but the one with no capital and no risk.

His small thoughts were clearly seen by the girls, and it was nothing more than reselling their autographed photos on weekdays, but now he still wants to get his hands into the concert tickets?

He directly gave him a few middle fingers. I have to say that these women's fingers are quite beautiful. Anyway, Li Menglong appreciates them more and doesn't feel offended at all.

Since everyone can't agree on this issue, let's change the topic, such as continuing to buy concert tickets.

This is an entertainment that Li Menglong finally came up with, the key is that the cost is still so high, they will not disagree, right?
It was only then that the girls realized that this was the topic they were talking about at first. They originally wanted to explain to Li Menglong why they could go to the concert without buying tickets.

Because their appearance itself is regarded as "buying tickets", and their popularity is destined to drive the flow of concert information, thereby increasing the overall popularity of the concert.

This is more similar to the cameos of big-name actors in filming. It is definitely not the salary, but the so-called favor.

The appearance of the girls is similar to the meaning. It is a favor for them to come to cheer, and can a favor be calculated by money?

So if Li Menglong is really interested, they can arrange for a girl to accompany him to watch, but the premise is to return their wallets first!
