Chapter 91 The King of Pop Arrives at His Second Hometown and Makes a Lot of Money with Tears
At this time, the whole Hefei seemed to be celebrating the New Year, and the streets were full of people.

The last time this happened was when Andy Lau came to hold a concert.

However, according to Wang Guosheng, the owner of a small shop next to the Wuhu Road Stadium, "In Hefei, Andy Lau is not as famous as Lu Jiang!"

The reporter at the scene immediately asked: "Why is this?"

"That's quite telling."

Lao Wang smoked a cigarette and started bragging.

Actually, there is nothing special.

The main reason is "Super Winner".

Hefei has produced a variety show that ranks first in domestic ratings, which can still make local people proud in this day and age.

Lu Jiang was the first person to agree to appear on the show when it was first launched.

But later it was replaced by the second issue.

Lu Jiang also wrote a song on the spot in the second episode.

No great pop singer has ever written a song for Hefei!

So everyone had a very good impression of Lu Jiang at that time.

Later, Lu Jiang appeared on the show twice more. Although he did not show any new songs, he kept promising that there would be new songs.

With this bond, Lu Jiang gradually became the most popular star among the people of Hefei.

Lu Jiang is also very concerned about Hefei.

I've held several book signings and a concert here.

He is going to have another concert today, and it is said that he has already written the songs.

"Even if his new song is terrible, we'll still be his fans!"

Lao Wang is very fashionable and used the word "pink".

But he quickly changed his tone and said, "I believe his songs will not be bad. This is his second hometown. Would you treat your hometown badly? No, right? I wouldn't either."

"That's the live report, host."

"Thank you. Now I'll hand it back to the studio."

The camera turned and came to the studio of Anhui Satellite TV.

After "Super Winner" made a lot of money, Anhui Satellite TV also made some small upgrades.

When the camera returned to the venue, the audience was surprised to find that in addition to the host Li Bin, Lu Jiang was also in the studio.

"Lu Jiang, our lovely people of Hefei all believe that this is your second hometown. What do you think?"

Lu Jiang raised his head and smiled: "There is a saying that my hometown is where my heart is. From this perspective, this place is my first hometown."

Li Bin (surprised): "Really? Can you tell me the reason? How did Hefei make you feel at ease?"

"This story actually started from a book signing event two years ago."

Lu Jiang immediately told the story of the girl from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

From the distress in Shanghai to the joy in Hefei.

"I'm really happy to see my fans making progress. Later, I always encouraged people to study. Fans who have attended my book signings should know this."

Li Bin continued, "I keep saying 'study hard and make progress' every other sentence. My fans are probably thinking, 'How can you be more nagging than my mom?'"

The two of them laughed.

The audience in front of the TV also laughed and had a better impression of Lu Jiang.

At this time, the ratings of Anhui Satellite TV's small noon innovative news program were also rising steadily.

The TV station leaders were ecstatic and the conversation in the studio continued.

"After repeated persuasion, I gradually had inspiration. On that day when we first recorded "The Big Winner", the inspiration was fully formed. After a year of polishing, I am finally satisfied with it."

"Can you tell me what the song is about?"

"Of course, the song unfolds from the perspective of a scholar who has been away from his hometown of Luzhou for many years."

He gave a brief introduction but didn't sing, which raised the expectations of the audience in front of the TV.

When the time was up, Li Bin said, "Don't worry, everyone watching on TV! Those who have tickets can listen to the concert tonight. For those who haven't bought tickets, please watch 'Super Winner' tomorrow."

The news ended here, and the audience in front of the TV, especially those in Hefei, expressed regret.

Next, Lu Jiang quickly started recording "The Big Winner".

Because "The Big Winner" involves outdoor recording, the scene is crowded wherever Lu Jiang goes. The scene seems to have surpassed the peak period of last year when the "Return of the Pearl" crew came to Hefei.

After recording for an hour or so, Lu Jiang moved to indoor recording.

Because time is limited, everyone works very hard.

Several leaders from the station were also in the studio, and in their eyes, Lu Jiang was a great treasure.

There’s news at noon today, a concert tonight, and tomorrow the advertising fees for “Big Winner” will soar several times, plus there’s a song that is very likely to have a huge boost to tourism.

It can be said that Lu Jiang's visit directly boosted Hefei's GDP.

"So our mainland superstar is still the best!"

"It's true that family members are always kind to each other."

"Will you sing that song later?"

"Of course, wait, it sounds very nice."

Soon it was night.

It's concert time.

Today, the Wuhu Road Stadium, which originally could only accommodate 40,000 people, has been expanded to 55,000 people.

It is said that there are 20,000 to 30,000 people outside watching the broadcast on the big screen.

It is said that the local government spent a lot of money to use the large screen for broadcasting.

But it's worth it.

Because of Lu Jiang, more than 80,000 people have come to Hefei in the past few days.

How much consumption will this create!
The surrounding hotels and restaurants are just like Chinese New Year.

Soon, under strong security measures on site, the audience entered the venue in an orderly manner.

When the time comes, the concert begins.

Today's backing singers have changed.

But it is still mainly composed of mainland singers.

There are also some from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are resource cooperation models.

Of course, the most important thing for Lu Jiang is that F4 will sing "Meteor Shower" today.

"Meteor Garden" will be broadcast in Macau in a few days.

According to Goldfinger.

The first phase will continue the “regional ratings top”.

The original version of "Meteor Garden" topped the regional ratings in Taiwan.

And it was completed in just three episodes.

At that time, Taiwan broadcast one episode a week, and three episodes meant three weeks.

However, Macau only airs four episodes a week, which means that within a week, "Meteor Garden" will reach the top of the regional ratings.

What does this "area" refer to? It is naturally all places where Macau TV can be watched.

In terms of scope, it is actually very large, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macao and some places in Southeast Asia.

After “topping regional ratings,” the next step was “the broadcast ended, sparking an idol craze.”

The original version sparked an idol craze when it was aired.

One episode per week, 20 episodes took 5 months to produce.

Now it only takes 5 weeks to complete the broadcast.

So, I have to practice harder!
anyway.

The first part of the Hefei concert remained the same as before.

In the middle of the performance, Lu Jiang sang a song called "Blue Lotus".

At the same time, the lyrics were displayed on the screen.

So once is not enough, do it again.

By the second time, many people could already sing it.

Then the singing of tens of thousands of people began again.

Speaking of which, "Blue Lotus" is indeed Lu Jiang's most suitable song for chorus so far.

It’s exciting enough, simple enough, and enough to vent your emotions.

The audience finally had their fun and understood why this song was called an "explosion."

After several hours of continuous bombing, everyone will become mentally exhausted.

This is a good time to listen to some gentle and delicate songs quietly.

"Before we continue this song, I want to ask you a question."

Lu Jiang said to the audience with a smile.

Everyone pricked up their ears. Lu Jiang asked with a smile, "What was the ancient name of Hefei?"

As soon as the words fell, the fans who had begun to feel tired suddenly became excited and shouted in unison: "Luzhou!!!"

"I'm dedicating a song called 'Luzhou Moon' to everyone, to Hefei. I'll sing this song slowly, and everyone please listen quietly."

As the words fell, the stage changed and the scenery of Jiangnan slowly unfolded.

The big screen also began to display "Luzhou Moon, lyrics: Lu Jiang, music"

Then, the music starts~
"When I was a child, I chiseled a hole in the wall and stole the light from someone's house.

I haven't combed my hair for ten years

Now I read leisurely under the lamp, with the fragrance of red sleeves
Half a lifetime of fame is just vanity
"

This evening, Chinese style reappeared.

Same high standard.

The lyrics are also excellent.

As Lu Jiang’s “signature brand”.

It can be said that with this song, this album is basically stable.

But now, the song has been given more glory.

I don’t know what other fans will think when they hear this.

Anyway, starting from tonight, Hefei has its own city theme song.

But. What is the cost.

The price was that Lu Jiang received invitations to sing theme songs from at least 17 cities the next day.
It's bigger than pretending.

17 songs.

How the hell did he take this?

Slipped away
Of course, you can't just run away that quickly, you still have to talk about things.

The morning after the concert.

Lu Jiang and local leaders discussed in detail a series of topics including the city's image spokesperson.

First, the songs.

The original version author Lu Jiang also wanted to change the lyrics and add some tourist attractions.

But in fact, there are not many tourist attractions in Hefei now.

After all, it is not a tourist city like Hangzhou.

The few remaining ones are not much developed.

For this reason, Lu Jiang did not plan to change the original lyrics.

But it is enough from the perspective of a traveler away from home.

At least the local leaders like it very much.

The fan feedback was also explosive.

This is enough.

Then let’s talk about the spokesperson. It’s the same reason again. For an industrial city, what’s the point of talking about image? A song is enough.

But the other party insisted on forcing it in, after all, Lu Jiang's contribution was indeed great.

Lu Jiang couldn't refuse, and finally accepted the endorsement fee of 200 million in tears, which did not include the copyright of the song. In addition, there were endorsement sponsorships from more than a dozen local brands, and the average annual price was no less than 100 million. Lu Jiang decided on his own how to make the choice.

The satellite TV station also proposed to buy Lu Jiang's practice drama, and the price was directly set at 20 per episode.

20 yuan per episode is already very high nowadays. The price of a single episode of "Return of the Condor Heroes 2" is also around this amount.

The unit price is low, but the advertising fee is high.

It is said that when Beijing Television broadcast "Return of the Condor Heroes 2", the cost of advertising insertion exceeded 2500 million.

The same is true for "Meteor Garden" now. By then, the advertising fees will be dazzling.

So you thought you were giving me a discount, but you didn't know that you were the ones getting the biggest bargain.

Fortunately, the other party added: "We'll split the advertising revenue in half!"

This is another extremely preferential treatment.

You should know that the advertising revenue of TV series is basically the interstitial ads, which are the ads posted at the beginning and end of the film.

What this leader is talking about now is pure TV advertising.

This type of advertising generally does not share profits with the film company.

As a result, the other party gave it directly now. Although it was only a 50-50 split of the revenue from the commercials inserted in the middle of the series, it was already quite good. If I went to other TV stations, I would not even think about it.

Moreover, after "Meteor Garden" becomes popular in a few days, if other TV stations want to buy the drama, no matter how high the price they offer, there is a limit, and they can never compare with Anhui Satellite TV's advertising share.

Lu Jiang felt much better now.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"
