章 46: Concert Preparations
Working until it became dark outside, Zhang Xiaohua announced that he was going to head off soon. After that, he encouraged everybody to urge Yuan Datong to treat them. After everyone had enjoyed their meal, Yuan Datong was tired, and they all dispersed.
Zhang Xiaohua enjoyed this kind of life. He could not help but lament that life truly was beautiful. As long as you learn how to deal with it, you would enjoy it.
Driving back home and entering the house, Zhang Xiaohua habitually called out a greeting for his mother. Unlike a few days ago, when he entered the door this time, he saw his mother's figure sitting on the sofa with Liu Yan gossiping. They seemed to be having a good time.
Upon seeing her son's return, Zhang Shaofang smile thickened on her face, and she hurriedly waved him over: "Come here my son, Mum has something to tell you."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled sweetly and quickly went to the side of his mother. He was slightly stunned as she was wearing makeup, and as far as he could remember, this was not her usual style. She was more conservative, rarely dressing up or putting on makeup. Although she looked better than usual, Zhang Xiaohua faintly felt that it was unnatural, as if his mother was deliberately trying to hide something.
"Mum, I am sorry. I have been so busy recently, so I did not have time to accompany you. Liu Yan said that you were feeling uncomfortable a few days ago. How are you feeling now?" Zhang Xiaohua asked with concern while apologizing.
"I'm okay, but you truly have been busy lately huh, when did you learn to write music?" Zhang Shaofang queried with a smile. Although she did not usually watch TV or go online, or even rarely go out, she still knew that Zhang Xiaohua was now a famous music producer.
Zhang Xiaohua would have loved nothing more than to boast to his mother about how he made more than a million.
However, all the money was invested in Sparrow or given out to the others, so for now, he did not speak up. He just reminded himself that next time he earned big, he had to show it, at least before spending it, so he could reassure her and give her a big surprise.
"Yes, you just mentioned that you had something to say to me, what happened?" Zhang Xiaohua changed the subject and asked with a smile.
Zhang Shaofang and Liu Yan looked at each other and then Liu Yan said, "Oh, the Madam wants to go out on a trip to travel. She is feeling bored at home."
"That's a great idea." Zhang Xiaohua also hoped that his mother would go out more often. As Liu Yan said, it was boring to stay at home all the time, plus it would be better for her health if she was more active. He took out his bank card and put it on his mother's hands: "There is a little over one hundred thousand Yuan in the card. It is not much, so I cannot help you travel around the world, but it is enough to go out and relax for a bit. When I earn more money, I will take you to travel around the world."
"You... really made that much money just from producing music?" Zhang Shaofang suddenly looked puzzled. She was more concerned that her son had done something wicked or foolish for the cash.
"You don't need to worry. I am not guilty of any crimes. I started a company, remember? Believe it or not, Yuan Datong and I had earned a lot of money by making music together with a few other friends, so you can rest assured, just spend it with a peace of mind." Zhang Xiaohua gently patted his mother's back, motioning her to rest assured.
"You are working with Datong?" Zhang Shaofang knew her son. Normally, Zhang Xiaohua would be spending money like water and never came back until around midnight, wasted from drinking with those scumbags he called friends. She had always tried to get him to follow Yuan Datong around instead of those wastrels. In her eyes, they could not be trusted, but she viewed Yuan Datong as part of the family. After all, he had saved her son's life. But this boy always refused her advice and continued to hang out with those prodigal youths. But today, he suddenly said he had started a company with Yuan Datong and even earned more than 100,000 Yuan, which made her curious.
"My friends and I have opened an entertainment company. The company has just started, so I did not tell you. But this money is really something I earned. If you do not believe me, you can ask the Big Head." Zhang Xiaohua said truthfully.
Zhang Shaofang felt happy that he was doing well. Her mood obviously became better. At the same time, she believed that Zhang Xiaohua did not lie. Even if she did not believe in him, Zhang Shaofang believed in Yuan Datong's honesty at least.
"Madam, since the young master has already gained the ability to support himself, you can rest assured to go for a small vacation this time. I think the young master has finally grown up, so you do not have to worry about him." Liu Yan smiled, full of hope.
"Yeah, she is right, mother. There is no need to worry, you just go out and play. I'll take care of everything here." Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaohua looked at Liu Yan, and said, "Please take care of my mother and remember to look after yourself as well."
"Of course, young master." Liu Yan said earnestly.
With Liu Yan taking care of his mother, Zhang Xiaohua could be at ease, so he asked, "When do you plan to go? In fact, where are you planning to go? Did you get your luggage ready yet? If not, would you like me to help you prepare?"
"Calm down with all the questions. I am not a child like you, so you do not have to worry about it. We'll be going tomorrow morning and head to Hong Kong first. This time, stay at home and take good care of yourself. Okay?" Zhang Shaofang carefully spoke, slightly revealing a faintly reluctant expression, as if she was not saying goodbye to her son, but to life…
"Well, I will send you off tomorrow morning then. I'm going to head up first as I still have things to do." After that, Zhang Xiaohua went upstairs and returned to his room, he sat down in front of the computer.
His following task was to prepare for Wang Jingwen's concert. This was going to be Zhang Xiaohua first time planning such a major event. Fortunately, he had visited several live concerts in the past and often watched videos of concerts by major stars.
There should be no problem with the design. It was nothing more than arranging staff and the deployment of various types of equipment. In fact, this was also easy to handle. The instruments and equipment in the company could come in handy. Yuan Datong and the rest could also act on their own as musicians and find a symphony orchestra to help out. They would probably need to hire dancers as well for some of the songs.
The rest was finding a venue.
Due to lack of popularity and fans, the second and third liner stars usually chose to perform concerts in smaller venues such as auditoriums or opera houses.
The first-line stars need not say anything. Naturally, the venue would be set up in a large gymnasium or stadium. With the popularity of Wang Jingwen, she already had the qualifications to open a large-scale concert. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua decided to set up the concert in a stadium.
In order to find a suitable venue, Zhang Xiaohua checked the information and found out much to his surprise, that no stars in this world had ever held a concert in the gymnasium, let alone a stadium. Even if it was a big-named stars on the front lines, at most, it was held in an auditorium or opera house. The audience could only reach 15,000 people, and that was already a luxury.
In this world's mentality, a stadium was just a place for fans to watch sports. Nothing to do with music concerts at all.
After understanding this fact, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but smile. It seemed like he would need to set a precedent!
He continued to check the information for a while, and in the end, Zhang Xiaohua selected Tianhe Stadium as the venue for the concert. Although this stadium was not the largest in the city, it could accommodate 30,000 spectators. The venue was moderate, neither high-profile or too low-key; it was just right.
Having been busy until midnight, Xiaohua Zhang had already drawn up a specific plan for the concert. When Wang Jingwen's new album was released; and after attracting more loyal fans, then they would hold the concert for her. He could not wait to see the scene. It would certainly be an amazing scene, and it would, of course, certainly bring in great wealth to him and the company!
