The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 685 Player Zhou Yi, a dignified participant

For both Warner Records and Arsenal Football Club, this is a top priority that deserves to be put first.

Needless to say, Warner Records, the first stop of Big Daddy’s overseas concert must be perfect;

For Arsenal Club, Zhou Yi's concert can undoubtedly help them generate revenue, 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 these was on May 1966, 5, when boxing champion Ali knocked out Cooper here and became the heavyweight boxing champion.

As we all know, boxing matches are the most profitable competitions on the planet, no doubt about it.

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

"London is a place with money, and Arsenal fans are used to high prices, which is a good momentum for anchoring the price of your opening painting."

When talking about planning, Qian Jiang explained the future in detail.

In this day and age, it is easy to tell how popular a singer is in the mass market - one is album sales, and the other is the number of people attending concerts and ticket prices.

Hong Kong and Taiwan singers before Zhou Yi, let alone in Europe and the United States, even in the Southeast Asian countries where they are heavily touted, could only open a small venue with about 5000 to 8000 people, and the ticket sell-out rate was a pitiful 47%-53%.

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

The Book of Changes is different.

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

Qian Jiang's eyes were firm: "The lowest ticket price is 80 pounds, and the highest is 160 pounds. Even if we lose money in the end, the company will make your first overseas concert a success."

"..."

Even Zhou Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In 2004, 100 pounds was equivalent to about 1491 yuan. Therefore, theoretically speaking, if this price is converted into yuan, it is already higher than the ticket price of his domestic concerts.

Of course, the London area earns and spends in pounds, so there is no way to convert this so easily.

In comparison, the highest official ticket price for the legendary band Rolling Stones' concert in London is only £150.

Taking into account Zhou Yi's extremely high popularity, Qianjiang directly raised the price by 10 pounds.

"Sure, at worst, we can just use some tough marketing."

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

Two albums that hit the 30 million club, nine Grammy Awards, and the second album even created the miracle of five Billboard Hot 100 singles from one album, with all the songs ranking 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 concerts did not need to be deliberately lowered to win praise from foreigners.

In other words, the ticket price is not as high as Michael Jackson's, otherwise he would like to match it.

"Let's start with football first. The song 'Unstoppable' can be released for promotion." After thinking about it, Zhou Yi decided 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 is exactly Zhou Yi's content about football——

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

Tribute to the legendary striker Zhou Yi who actually shot and scored a goal in the 2002 World Cup final: the goal conversion rate of his shot in the final was an astonishing 100%!

The team lost, but Zhou Yi did not lose!
After the World Cup defeat, Zhou Yi encountered setbacks again but he did not get discouraged. He finally led his team to win the championship in the 2004 Asian Cup in China and became the king of Asia.

A very inspiring story. The AFC also provided a lot of convenience in editing, and the Chinese Football Association even opened the Workers' Stadium, which was used as the venue for the Asian Cup final, for Zhou Yi to shoot the MV.

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

The UK is a country with a very strong football community atmosphere. There are as many as 17 professional football clubs in London alone, covering the entire 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 also warm up for you in London and canvass for votes."

Qian Jiang nodded.

The London concert is scheduled for July 7 in accordance with Highbury Stadium's off-season business schedule.

According to convention, if you want to release a single to test the waters for the album, you can do it one to three months in advance. Considering that the release date of the third album is July 7, releasing the first single of the album now is also in line with Zhou Yi's usual rhythm.

"Also, can you help me ask if there is any parachuting training? In the next month or so, in addition to waiting for Highbury Stadium to renovate the venue according to my concert requirements, I also plan to practice a new way of appearing. This can be regarded as a way to make their ticket price worthwhile."

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

"parachute?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Correct."

Zhou Yi was a little excited when he said this, and he looked eager to try: "Highbury Stadium is so empty, I want to try this novel way of entering."

Although Wenger disliked Highbury's small size and wanted to build a new large stadium, that was his point of view as a football manager.

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

Of course, at the end of the day he still wanted to use a novel way to shut up the British media - or, in other words, to engage in a war of words.

As we all know, the British media are mostly corrupt.

Everyone, from royal nobles to ordinary people, has experienced how immoral the British media is.

If Zhou Yi tickets are set at this price, they will inevitably be criticized.

So he plans to try out the skydiving method that James Bond, 007, will use in the future London Olympics.

No matter what else, at least he's handsome and cool.

Of course, this is just a thought. If the training doesn't work out by then, he will have to give up this idea and think about other conventional or unconventional ways of appearing.

"Okay, I'll go make the arrangements."

Qian Jiang nodded.

Afterwards, under his arrangement, "Unstoppable" was quietly delivered to London, England on June 2004, 6.

As the album's first single, "Unstoppable" has a cover.

The image of Zhou Yi on the cover, wearing a soccer jersey and sneakers, with his hands on his hips and a soccer ball under his feet, made the Arsenal publicity staff who came to accept the publicity mission a little dazed.

If this is a real player, if Arsenal signs him, can they also gain market share like AC Milan superstar Kaka?
Even bigger?

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

Take a look at the NBA next door. The Chinese market driven by Yao Ming is so delicious that it makes people drool.
