Chapter 750: Shadow World

In a dark room, more than a dozen people whose faces could not be seen sat around a round table.

They wore uniform suits, and the holographic projection deliberately blurred their faces, including their voices, which had also been processed, making it impossible to tell their gender or age.

"The meteor shower in the Mayan prophecy came a full seven years late, and we have also waited a full seven years."

"This collision is much larger than imagined; according to calculations, only a small part of the meteor shower would graze the moon, but as a result, more than half of it smashed into the seal."

"The affairs of the sun, moon, and stars are not something humans can control; this collision, which far exceeds the plan, will definitely cause all the power in the seal to be released; by then, the whole world will be bathed in this extraordinary power, so hurry up and think about how to be one step ahead and stand at the top of the pyramid."

"What else needs to be planned? We have collected so many ancient artifacts; isn't today what we've been waiting for? With the recovery of spiritual energy, we will definitely be the batch with the fastest progress."

"Since that's the case, then let's wait to be noble at the top of the mountain."

Amidst a burst of laughter, the holographic projection turned off, and only a golden triangular eye remained in the center of the round table………………

"It's too chaotic abroad these days."

In the living room, Seeing Wen Xia muttered while looking at her phone.

Actually, these were all old, familiar problems.

For example, Europe was facing the impact of a refugee wave, and the three countries of Germany, France, and Britain, under the deception of the "white left," were accepting a large number of refugees from Africa and the Middle East.

Would these homeless strangers, who had come to the base camp of the culprits who destroyed their hometowns, be as docile as a sheep and obediently follow the law?

The answer was obviously impossible.

Big shots started wars for their own interests, and in the end, it was the common people at the bottom who suffered.

Of course, whether these common people were innocent or not needed to be viewed dialectically.

As for the problems in the United States, that was even easier to analyze; the whole world knew it, but wanting to solve it was completely impossible.

Racial discrimination had lasted for more than two hundred years; as long as the history of the United States was, racial discrimination had lasted that long; this wasn't something that could be eliminated by a few parades or speeches.

Especially as it had developed to the present, parades had turned into "zero-dollar shopping" or even looting and arson, which would only further intensify the conflict.

Especially in the last few days, shooting incidents had already occurred during the parades, and in a while, it would probably be gunfights.

In any case, since the beginning of this year, the number of gun purchases in the United States had hit a new high.

These were actually nothing new; they would hit the trending list every few days.

It was just that before, it appeared once a week, and the frequency didn't feel that exaggerated.

But in the last few days, they had all popped up at once, making people feel that it was suddenly ridiculously chaotic abroad.

Actually, it had always been ridiculously chaotic.

It was just that China was peaceful, so everyone didn't feel it.

Miss Luo Quan herself had deep experience; every time she filmed a movie abroad, it was always delayed for a few days because of parades.

She had personally experienced shooting incidents twice; if it were an ordinary person, they would have been scared into having psychological trauma long ago.

If these things happened in China, most people might not encounter them in their entire lives.

But for Americans, it could be completely described as daily life, especially in cities where public security wasn't so good, such as Chicago and Detroit.

Therefore, regarding Seeing Wen Xia's sigh, Miss Luo Quan smiled and said, "The beautiful country is like this; if the conflict between black people and the police isn't eased, there will only be more violent cases in the future."

Seeing Wen Xia was puzzled: "Didn't they say that the "Forrest Gump" you filmed made the stock market rise? Society has also stabilized quite a bit; can't they solve this problem?"

Miss Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "If I were really that amazing, could there still be haters on the internet hating me?

These are all just coincidences; it just happened to hit.

Perhaps it can lower the stock price for a while, but it can't solve the core problem; after a while, it will be the same as it was.

As for social conflicts, if I could really solve them, I could win the Nobel Peace Prize."

Of course, these kinds of words were just jokes in her spare time.

After the concert matters were arranged properly, Tencent was already preparing to find a dance studio so that everyone could go and rehearse the program first.

After the few days of usage time that belonged to them at the Bird's Nest arrived, they would go to the site for rehearsals.

Miss Luo Quan's performance style was known for being gorgeous, because she had too many clothes, basically changing one outfit for every song she sang.

Of course, because the last time was in Japan, many of the songs performed were anime OPs or EDs, so to fit the scene, she changed into cosplay costumes to sing.

Her Chinese songs didn't have so many reasons, so the number of costume changes wouldn't be that frequent when the time came.

And the clothes she changed into were mainly gorgeous evening gowns provided by Chanel, not the various cosplay costumes that the "two-dimensional" fans liked.

It was just that last time at the Tokyo concert, she basically cosplayed all the hottest two-dimensional heroines of the moment; if she did it again, the fans probably wouldn't be that interested.

So this time she planned to honestly wear some ordinary beautiful clothes.

However, she was only honest with the clothing; she still had to be creative with the performance.

Since it was in China, it would be a pity not to have a few Chinese ancient costume looks.

In addition, the entrance also had to be designed; if she descended from the sky wearing a hero's outfit, like in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," the effect would definitely be very shocking.

As a concert held only three times a year, Miss Luo Quan didn't want to see them make fans feel mediocre, so she wanted to come up with as many tricks as possible.

Dressing up as a heroine and descending from the sky definitely required hanging a very high wire.

An ordinary singer might not dare to play like this, but she felt that her skills were so agile, as long as the protective measures were done well, then there wouldn't be any problems.

Therefore, when planning the concert process, Miss Luo Quan boldly proposed this entrance method.

However, descending from a high platform of tens of meters just for the sake of so-called elegance, wouldn't it be too risky?

Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu were the first to raise objections.

"You really have grown bold; you even dare to use such a high-risk entrance method; I don't agree!"

Seeing Wen Xia refused Miss Luo Quan's proposal without hesitation.

During this period, it wasn't a rare thing for singers to have accidents at concerts; some fell on flat ground and broke bones, and some fell directly into the lifting platform.

Although there were no major problems, after all, people didn't do any descending from the sky; the risk was small to begin with.

But Miss Luo Quan was planning to float down from the sky; even if she was hanging on a wire, it was too risky; Seeing Wen Xia didn't want to watch Miss Luo Quan take this risk.

"Don't worry, as long as you keep a close eye on safety, there won't be any problems; otherwise, what about those people who have to hang wires in TV dramas? Don't they film them?"

Miss Luo Quan said and looked at the director on the other side: "Director Huang, tell me, isn't hanging a wire a conventional performance form?"

"That is indeed the case; as long as you are careful enough, there generally won't be any problems, and there hasn't been any major problem in this industry for a long time." Director Huang nodded, echoing Miss Luo Quan.

As a tool person, he came this time completely waiting for Miss Luo Quan to make arrangements, and he didn't have much say.

Whatever Miss Luo Quan said, he just echoed it, because if Miss Luo Quan wasn't satisfied, she could immediately change to another obedient tool person.

"Since you insist on doing so, then I won't stop you, but the height must not exceed ten meters, and the center of the stage must use soft materials, so that if you fall, it's at most a broken bone."

Seeing Wen Xia's expression was serious, wanting to make a three-point agreement with Miss Luo Quan.

Miss Luo Quan frowned: "Only ten meters, it's too low, the effect might not be reflected."

Seeing Wen Xia shook her head without hesitation: "Then I don't care; in short, this is the bottom line; to be honest, I think ten meters is too high, but with your abnormal physique, if you fall from five or six meters, you probably won't have any problems; if it's ten meters, it might be a semi-disability, plus the soft floor, you won't die directly."

Miss Luo Quan was speechless: "Can't you wish me something good?"

Seeing Wen Xia laughed: "If you want to court death yourself, how can I wish you well? I can only prepare for the worst."

"Don't worry, my luck isn't that bad." Miss Luo Quan patted Seeing Wen Xia's shoulder, wanting to comfort her suspicious heart, while the latter snorted, still a bit unhappy.

The matter was settled like this, and the subsequent program list was also listed; the next half month was basically spent rehearsing.

Because they had experience once, the rehearsal task this time wasn't that heavy.

The only thing that was more troublesome was summer; the weather was hot, and even if the air conditioning in the rehearsal room was turned to the max, it was still hot.

Every time they finished rehearsing, everyone's clothes were soaked.

This was still indoors with the air conditioning turned to the max; the on-site rehearsal and the formal performance were both outdoors, and even if it was in the afternoon at dusk, it would still be ridiculously hot.

However, holding a concert in summer had to face this, and everyone was prepared to be drenched in sweat.

In addition, on the day of the concert, the organizer also contacted twelve ambulances for emergencies.

The configuration of an ordinary concert was eight, but Miss Luo Quan was popular and had many spectators, so naturally, more ambulances had to be arranged.

The best situation was definitely that not a single one was needed, but from a rational point of view, 100,000 people gathered in a stadium, the summer was so scorching, the atmosphere was so intense, and with everyone losing a lot of water, those with slightly poorer physical fitness were very prone to heatstroke.

The last time they held a concert in Tokyo, they encountered such a situation.

Before twelve o'clock, there was actually no problem, but because the fans enthusiastically requested Miss Luo Quan to sing "one more" song, and then Miss Luo Quan sang for several more hours.

During this period, several fans probably couldn't hold on physically and fainted directly on the ground.

Fortunately, this fan's position was relatively forward, and Miss Luo Quan's eyesight was also relatively good, so she discovered the situation immediately and also let other fans carry the unconscious girl to the open space immediately.

Fortunately, it was just simple physical exhaustion, and she woke up not long after.

However, fans fainting continued to appear later, a total of five.

Miss Luo Quan was afraid that if this continued, something would happen, so she terminated the concert that should have ended long ago.

It was also fortunate that these fans couldn't hold on; otherwise, she would probably have to keep singing on stage, and it wouldn't necessarily be dawn by the time she finished.

This time she didn't know if she would sing until dawn, but with the experience of the last concert, Miss Luo Quan prepared throat-protecting medicine in advance.

With the enthusiasm of the fans, even if it reached twelve o'clock, they probably wouldn't let her go easily.

Instead of thinking about leaving on time and spoiling the fans' fun, it was better to prepare well and show the best of herself to the fans at this rare concert.

The ticket sales work was completed in one day, three days after the concert plan was announced.

I don't know how many fans were staring at the time and guarding the website, clicking refresh and purchase non-stop.

When ticket sales opened at eight o'clock in the evening, even Tencent's server experienced a lag of up to thirty seconds.

Just one minute and thirty seconds later, the tickets were sold out.

Excluding the thirty seconds of lag and the time to fill in personal information, it was equivalent to the concert tickets being sold out in one round, meaning that more than 100,000 people were guarding to buy tickets, and they didn't give any chance to latecomers at all.

Although they had tried their best to solve the scalper problem, even using real-name purchases, ID card entry, and other means.

But scalpers still made a lot of money.

After all, as long as the thinking doesn't slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.

The entry-level tickets, which were less than 600 at face value, skyrocketed to 1,500 each under the hype of scalpers, with a growth rate comparable to this year's most profitable commercial behavior—hoarding graphics cards.

And the VIP tickets closest to Miss Luo Quan had already reached the outrageous price of 10,000 each.

And it was still a case of having a price but no market, and it was still rising as the concert approached.

According to estimates, the tickets in the hands of scalpers this time added up to about more than 3,000.

Compared to the total amount of 100,000, 3,000 scalper tickets were considered relatively few, proving that Miss Luo Quan's entrustment to President Zhou had an effect, and Tencent had done some things.

Wanting to completely eradicate scalpers wasn't realistic either.

After all, there is a market only if there is demand; as long as Miss Luo Quan can still be popular, there will definitely be rich people who don't care about money waving banknotes to buy tickets from scalpers or other fans.

The logic is this logic, but those fans who didn't buy tickets still greeted the scalpers' families on major platforms every day, and even wished that the tickets would plummet, making these profiteers lose everything, and then all go to be "air trapeze artists."

However, these ideas probably couldn't be realized.

Because the person coming to the concert this time was Miss Luo Quan, she was a world-class "hard to get a ticket," and the number of concerts she held was already pitifully small; this was the first time she held one in China, so it was impossible for the tickets not to sell out.

According to convention, halfway through this concert, she would draw some lucky audience members to give away signed photos, portraits, and signed photo albums.

Their value wouldn't be discussed; after all, for the hardcore fans on the scene, these were priceless treasures that could be collected for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, those fans who didn't buy tickets were even more sorrowful and angry.

For a time, the scalper profiteers were also sprayed onto the trending list by the excited fans.

Not just the scalpers reselling Miss Luo Quan's tickets, but everyone in this industry. ===== CHAPTER 751 =====
