Chapter 2038: Dao Ge
The promotion of the Jiangzhou Music Festival had invested 12 million in less than two months, and the advertising was overwhelming.
You know, in this era, there were few private enterprises with total assets exceeding 100 million. Zhou Andong invested 12 million for the promotion of a music festival, which could no longer be described as wealthy.
Many people couldn't understand what was the use of Zhou Andong's music festival. It felt like he had money to burn, a big idiot.
Those who knew a little bit of the inside story understood that Zhou Andong's music festival was held when Future Culture was targeted and blocked by the Kong brothers.
But the Kong brothers were about to be shot, so you should just hold this music festival for the sake of it. Investing so much money is a waste.
Just the promotion invested 12 million, plus the stage and equipment, etc., some messy expenses, the total investment was at least 18 million, even if it didn't reach 20 million.
These money would be better spent on me, and I would miss Zhou Andong for a sound. But holding this damn music festival, besides being called an idiot by others, who would say a good word for you?
For the thoughts of these people, to put it bluntly, it was one word: sour. If you explain it more deeply, it was envy and jealousy, and then it was short-sighted, not seeing how much benefit the music festival had for Jiangzhou and the Yugong Group.
Not to mention investing only 18 million, even if it was 180 million, Zhou Andong wouldn't hesitate to throw it in.
Don't you see, those internet companies in later generations all threw money in billions and hundreds of billions for promotion.
He only invested more than 10 million and could achieve the desired effect. Why not do it?
Therefore, investing so much money in the music festival promotion was not to attract tourists from other places, but to let the people of the whole country know that there was a place called Jiangzhou on the map of China, and Yugong Wine was produced here!
After such vigorous promotion, the effect was indeed significant. The music festival, Jiangzhou, and Yugong Wine, not to say they were already known to every household, but it was about the same.
Ordinary people couldn't run to Jiangzhou from thousands of miles away to watch the music festival, but for the entire music scene, this music festival was definitely a grand event.
So, many singers, whether famous or not, as long as they had slightly better conditions, all came to Jiangzhou.
So, Zhou Andong met Dao Ge, but at this time Dao Ge should be in Hainan, more than 3,000 kilometers away from Jiangzhou.
If it was by plane, it could be understood, but if it was by train, it would take several days on the road.
If it were Zhou Andong, no matter how attractive the music festival was, he wouldn't run to Jiangzhou from thousands of miles away. After all, the journey was long and it was too tossing.
But thinking carefully, according to the historical trajectory, Dao Ge had a car accident, and after recovering from his injuries, he returned to Xinjiang with his girlfriend at the end of 1994.
Now it was mid-June, it was estimated that the two had prepared to return to Xinjiang, but before returning, traveling and relaxing, and coming to Jiangzhou to watch the music festival was not unreasonable.
"Comrade, I'm really sorry, I apologize for her on his behalf."
Seeing that Zhou Andong hadn't spoken for a long time, Dao Ge thought Zhou Andong still had anger in his heart, so he hurriedly apologized for his girlfriend. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place, so he couldn't offend people randomly.
Zhou Andong came back to his senses, moved his ankle naturally, and said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, I was stepped on, my toe cramped, so I didn't dare to move."
Hearing that Zhou Andong's foot was stepped on and cramped, Dao Ge's girlfriend, Zhu Mei, felt very embarrassed.
"Sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean it."
"It really doesn't matter." Zhou Andong waved his hand with a smile, looking at the backpack and instrument case on the ground and asked: "Are you guys also into music?"
"Yes!" Zhu Mei looked at Dao Ge with full admiration: "Dalin is a very famous keyboard player in Hainan, of course, his guitar playing is also very powerful."
Zhou Andong looked at the stage: "Any interest in going on stage to sing two songs to warm up before the music festival starts?"
"Ah?"
Not only Zhu Mei, but Dao Ge was also stunned.
"You..." Zhu Mei held Dao Ge's hand: "You want to let Linzi go on stage to sing?"
"Yes!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "It's a music festival, it's about everyone having fun together. As long as you want to go on stage to sing, going up to sing two songs before it starts is nothing."
Dao Ge opened his mouth and was about to refuse, when he heard Zhu Mei ask: "Can you decide?"
Yao Jun, who hadn't spoken, laughed. These two actually didn't recognize the Chairman.
However, looking at the wide sunglasses worn by the Chairman, if you weren't familiar with him, it was really hard to tell.
"You can rest assured about this. If you really want to go on stage, we can decide."
Zhu Mei asked again: "Are you from the organizer?"
"Yes!" Zhou Andong looked at his watch: "If you want to go on stage to sing, come with me."
Zhu Mei hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Can we discuss it?"
"Yes!" Zhou Andong pointed to the back of the stage: "See those tents over there? If you decide, go find someone named Yao Jun over there."
Yao Jun opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say a word and closed his mouth again.
Watching Zhou Andong's back as he left, Zhu Mei held Dao Ge's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Linzi, this is your chance, we can't miss it!"
Dao Ge was still a bit timid. After all, this was a music festival. There were nearly ten thousand people at the scene now, and the crowd was constantly coming here. With such a big scene, letting him sing on such a big stage, his confidence was really a bit insufficient.
Zhu Mei saw Dao Ge's hesitation and hurriedly persuaded: "What are you still hesitating about? The singers invited to this music festival are all from Future Culture Company.
And the senior management of Future Culture must be here. If you can get on this stage and sing two songs, maybe you can really attract their attention and get a chance to sign a contract."
Dao Ge was still very moved by signing with Future Culture, but he was still a bit hesitant.
"Don't you want to return to Xinjiang? If you sign with Future Culture, you can't go back."
"Oh!" Zhu Mei said with a smile: "I want to return to Xinjiang because I feel that you have no development in Hainan. If you can sign with Future Culture, why go back to Xinjiang?"
Dao Ge hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Good, I'll go on stage to sing two songs and try my luck."
The attraction of signing with Future Culture was still too great. Although he was indeed a bit lacking in confidence, he still decided to try his luck.
Returning to the rest area behind the stage, Zhou Andong found Gu Bing: "You let the host go on stage to announce that one hour before the opening, professional singers at the scene who want to go on stage to sing can make an appointment at the backstage." ===== CHAPTER 2039 =====
