Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 692 Second-hand Storm
Although Bob tried his best to persuade and failed to give "JUMP" to Hatter, Bian Lang did make some preparations for Hatter's trip to China.

However, he didn't just focus on Metallica. Of course, he followed the four giants of thrash metal: Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica.

After the music festival ended, Bian Lang gave four songs to Hatter. During the preparation period in Chuncheng, they spent most of their time and energy rehearsing these new songs.

It's just that as a guitarist, Bob starts to not care about anything when he encounters something he thinks is exciting.

Now let's talk about ticketing.

8000 tickets were released through different channels, with four levels of tickets, 1200, 800, 600, and 400, and they were basically sold out within 10 minutes. Although there was no rush for tickets worth tens of thousands of yuan, the five-digit price tags on the seafood market really made many Hatter fans who didn't get a ticket very angry.

However, some European music fans who managed to grab tickets became real "Europeans" after posting them on foreign websites!
The reason is of course related to the Rolling Stones. After performing several shows with Hatter last year, coupled with the influence of those English songs, the Rolling Stones have accumulated a lot of loyal fans in Europe.

So when they saw the Rolling Stones appear on Hatter's lineup again, these European fans were all envious:

"Hatter! I hope your tour in China is a mess, and then you can quickly join The Rolling Stone to tour Europe to pay off your debts!"

"As a mature metal band, Hatter, don't you know that monsters are not allowed to become famous there? Take The Rolling Stone and run back!"

"This price, hehe! If the air tickets weren't expensive, I would have just rushed for it!"

As for Guo Changxiong, a non-African contestant whose home router is no more than one kilometer away from Wukesong, he could only take a photo of the venue from the window and then sob on the social platform: "Hatter and Rolling Stone are both at my doorstep, but I just can't get a ticket, what should I do?"

He originally wanted to post it to make fun of his bad luck, but as a member of 100,000 hippies, other hippies in the organization immediately saw it and posted their receipts of successful purchases below!
This is obviously a somewhat sad story, but it was turned into a boastful post by the hippies who jumped out to show off their tickets.

Finally, someone @ed Liu Xiaokui and asked him why the Rolling Stones wanted to be a guest since they, the "Hundred Thousand Hippies", had no advance information about the event.

As for internal ticket purchasing qualifications and the like, they don't care. They don't really care about that and think it's unnecessary.

But after Liu Xiaokui saw it, he started to think about it. This time it was his negligence that he did not take the initiative to inquire about this matter, otherwise the Rolling Stones would not have kept it from him.

After thinking it over, Liu Xiaokui felt that all his previous boasting had been exaggerated. Now that the organization has been set up, although it is not a Rolling Stones exclusive show, it is still a Rolling Stones live show. One hundred thousand hippies cannot be just a name!

Then, he called Chen Shuting and asked, "Sister Chen, can the district where we are staying still raise some tickets?"

Chen Shuting didn't ask him what he wanted to do, but asked directly, "How much do you want?"

"100?" Liu Xiaokui asked tentatively.

After hearing this number, Chen Shuting understood what he wanted to do. She smiled helplessly and declined, "There are only 300 tickets in this area, and I can't take out 100."

After learning the total amount, Liu Xiaokui had a clear idea in his mind and bargained with moderation: "Sister Chen, you should have guessed it. I am seeking benefits for the 100,000 hippies. How much should Liu Xiaokui pay himself? Just tell me if it's okay?"

Chen Shuting did not give an immediate answer. She replied that she needed to think about it and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she went directly to the office of the company's promotion team, found the staff member who was responsible for monitoring public opinion and asked, "Xiao Hai, is there any movement from the 100,000 Hippies?"

Du Hai had seen Guo Changxiong's post a few minutes ago. When asked, he immediately picked up his work tablet, found the Weibo post, handed it to Chen Shuting and said, "Mr. Chen, take a look, this should be it!"

After looking at Guo Changxiong's photos and text, Chen Shuting couldn't help but laugh: "Then this music fan is really a bit annoying!"

But she knew that if that was all, Liu Xiaokui wouldn't have to call her to ask for the ticket. Then she scrolled down dozens of floors and saw people posting screenshots of the purchases, and finally saw someone @刘小奎, the number one hippie, and she finally understood what was going on.

Chen Shuting obviously lacks experience in fan management. After Liang Kuan came, she asked for his advice. Although Liang Kuan told her some simple operation methods, he also frankly said that if a rock band used these methods, fans might be disgusted. On the other hand, Bian Lang's personal fan management could be considered, but it should not be too excessive.

If you try to do it purely for the sake of being an idol, it might end up being more trouble than it is worth.

After that, Chen Shuting never paid attention to this matter again. Who would have thought that Liu Xiaokui would take the lead in organizing a Rolling Stones fan meeting, and those rock fans actually filled these 100,000 certified pits.

There are also some people who, not sure whether they really want to join or have other purposes, are still clamoring to join online.

However, Liu Xiaokui's team is too familiar with this kind of thing and knows how to satisfy the fans' vanity to the greatest extent. Therefore, the rule of 100,000 Hippies is that one person has one position, and if no one voluntarily withdraws and gives up the qualification, no additional quota will be added.

After the mini program of Shiwanxipi was gradually improved, the function of listening to songs through external links was launched, and peripheral products were also sold. These are benefits that ordinary music fans cannot enjoy at all.

Some people also made a little money by reselling these welfare peripherals.

As for every action of every hippie on the mini program, it will be converted into hippie value, which can then be upgraded.

If the hippie value does not increase at all within a year, according to the rules they will revoke the user's hippie status and then release the qualification.

Chen Shuting certainly didn't know about these things, but when she looked at the organization and thought that Liu Xiaokui was doing that purely because of Bian Lang and was doing this for the love of doing it, and was willing to invest energy and manpower, she was still quite moved.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Liu Xiaokui: "Xiaokui, thank you for all you have done for the Rolling Stones and Bian Lang. Things were a bit rushed this time, and we really can't give out extra tickets. I'll give you 30 tickets as a reward to the fans. I'm sorry to bother you with how to distribute them!"

After receiving the news, Liu Xiaokui couldn't help but smile, and then he left the matter of how to distribute these tickets to the team to study.

He just took out one photo and sent a private message to Guo Changxiong, letting him experience what it means to leave Africa and join Europe!
When Guo Changxiong first received the private message, he didn't take it seriously at all. He thought it was a liar pretending to be Liu Xiaokui who wanted to take this opportunity to extort money from him, so he ignored it!
It wasn't until a reminder popped up in the mini program that the temporary event of 100,000 Hippies was open for registration and lottery of tickets that he realized: "Hey! It seems that the hand sanitizer is worth using today. I'll see what brand it is and buy some to stock up!"

Although this belated event made those hippies who had managed to grab tickets by relying on their single status a little dissatisfied, they just complained casually, after all, they felt that it was better to save their luck and buy lottery tickets for these 10 tickets among 29 people.

Of course, envy is definitely there!

They were already promoting it online before the registration was even closed. In line with the principle of not being jealous by yourself, some of them even went to Jinzi's super topic to show off.

Now, not only has it attracted envy and jealousy, but also hatred!

Jinzi has been established for a long time and has many members and groups. Although it is relatively loose, the main group is the former star-chasing girls.

All these things, such as flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and being sarcastic, are just what she has done.

Someone immediately called for an attack on the base of 100,000 hippies, but they were stopped by Guoli, the big fan.

Because everyone knew Guoli's identity, they all thought that Guoli should be going to seek benefits for them.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Guo Li appeared in Chen Shuting's office.

Chen Shuting was not surprised to see Guoli. When she agreed to give Liu Xiaokui the ticket, Chen Shuting had thought of this, and she had also prepared a ticket for Jinzi. But she wanted to wait and see how Jinzi would react and how Guoli would cope.

Now it is obvious that there is a result. Guo Li came to her before she received any news from the staff monitoring public opinion. This proves that Guo Li, the big fan leader, is quite competent.

"Guoli, come and sit down! What kind of work do you have today that brings you to the company at this time?"

Guoli has long been the Rolling Stones' favorite. Now, apart from Bian Lang, all the others are running around the bands and artists under the Rolling Stones, and are rarely in the company.

"I came here to take pictures of a guitar for Brother Lang, Fender is waiting for it. Brother Lang said he was shooting a buyer's show!"

"Yes, he built the guitar himself, and we don't know when he will use it." After saying this, Chen Shuting continued: "I have reserved 30 tickets for you in the inner area. You can figure out how to arrange them yourself."

Guo Li was stunned for a moment, then she figured out the trick. Moreover, this was one more than the hundred thousand hippies had. Just this little bit of gold made the sisters very happy.

But these girls are not as rough as those 100,000 hippies. They might really fight among themselves, so she needs to find someone to talk to.

Finally, after Zhou Ketong sought help from many parties and received various suggestions, she finally decided that it would be fairer to just draw the lottery!
Because unlike Shiwanxipi, which has mini programs, Guoli can only use his own Weibo account to participate in the lottery.

There were no problems with the process or the results, but not long after the results came out, guys appeared in the seafood market who were not just showing off but selling the quota.

As soon as the five-digit price was announced, it was sold within 5 minutes.

Later, more people came out to sell it, and I don’t know if they were reselling it or what. The price kept rising, and finally someone took a screenshot and posted it online!

Now, those who have been unable to find any black spots on the Rolling Stones finally have room to maneuver.

Under the Shuitou that Zhu Wen found, there is a person who writes entertainment public accounts. He was not selected in the previous 1000 wave, and he was holding a grudge. When he saw this news today, he didn't care whether he had money or not, and directly opened Word and started to write passionately.

Given that he was already quite familiar with the Rolling Stones, he wrote the song on the keyboard himself this time.

In less than two hours, a well-reasoned, 1,000-word article appeared on his own public account. As soon as the review was completed, she shared the link to the order-taking group and asked colleagues to help spread it.

Shuitou saw the title "The Rolling Stones are so good at cutting off their fans that even idols can't compare to them" and clicked on it with a smile.

I only read half of it before forwarding it to Zhu Wen with one click.

Zhu Wen is furious at the moment because Hatter's tour conflicted with a big live performance of his, resulting in very poor ticket sales.

In fact, Hatter only had 8000 tickets, which had no impact on BJ, the capital of Chinese rock music. Moreover, Hatter's future tour plans had been announced, and as long as there were tours in their cities, those fans chose to wait.

In fact, it shouldn't affect his performance too much, but the Rolling Stones came as guests, and the effect was different! This is because Wukesong is closed. If it was an open venue like Workers' Stadium, the surrounding squares would probably be crowded.

This was not the most infuriating thing for him. What infuriated him the most was that someone actually asked him to find a way to find tickets. This was simply...

So after reading this article, his first reaction was: "Haha, let me see how clickbait this is!"

As a result, he was attracted by it and was so excited that he immediately went to the seafood market to see it.

After sorting out the boasting posts, he did recognize a few scalpers selling tickets for the Hatter tour's BJ stop, and the current price has reached a double-digit number starting with 3!
"Haha, let's see how you explain it this time. If it wasn't for the official stepping in to make money, I, Zhu Wen, would be the first one not to believe it!" Although he rationally felt that the Rolling Stones would not do such a thing, his emotion told him that since it was clearly stated on it that the information was leaked by Bian Lang's fans, there was nothing to say about it.

He thought about it for a moment and directly transferred 1 to Shuitou: "Thank the author for me. We'll talk about yours later."

As soon as Shuitou saw Zhu Wen’s move, he knew that he would make a lot of money in the future.

So he took a screenshot of the transfer and transferred 9999 to the author, saying that he would only take one dollar from this order and hoped for a long-term cooperation in the future.

The author couldn't understand what this meant, so he immediately started releasing it on all platforms!
