NovelEnglishChapter 1403: Your sister!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The studio staff were all exclaiming in horror.
“Director Zhang, 500…500,000 RMB?”
“Yeah.”
“Isn’t that too unethical?”
“Oh, is that unethical?”
“It seems a little unethical.”
“Then that’s right, unethical is precisely what I’m after!”
“…”
Zhang Ye could still remember the farce that happened to Faye Wong’s concert. Even a Heavenly Queen from his previous world could not handle something like that, let alone the parties involved this time. Just like how Zhang Ye himself had claimed, he might not know how to flatter other people, but step on them? This fella had too many destructive tricks up his sleeve!
The Chinese people’s money was easy to earn?
Treating the Chinese people as fools?
The higher the ticket prices, the more important it made you all look? The greater your standing?
Alright then, as you wish, I will add more fuel to your fire!
Aren’t you people going the way of selling your tickets expensively?
Would 100,000 RMB be expensive enough?
Would 200,000 RMB be expensive enough?
Would 500,000 RMB be expensive enough?
…
The three Japanese and Korean celebrity teams.
At this moment, there was exhilaration all around.
“They’ve been sold out!”
“The first round of tickets that were released have been sold out.”
“Many of the VIP seats have been sold as well!”
“Really?”
“The ticketing agent just let us know a moment ago. Quite a few tickets costing 30,000 RMB were actually sold!”
“Hahahaha, there are really suckers like that?”
“Let’s pump the prices up further!”
“Alright, let’s do it!”
“It will be such a waste not to earn this money!”
“I think it will still sell even if we doubled the prices another time. Our VIP tickets are only valued at around 10,000 RMB each, but they can be flipped for up to three or four times that amount. No one will be able to link it to us anyway!”
“That’s right, there’s still a market for it. There are still people who can accept such prices!”
“There are so many whales among the Chinese fans.”
“Yeah. Why else has everyone been coming over to grab a share of the Chinese market in recent years?”
“Beautifully done. If that Zhang fella doesn’t want to earn money, who can he blame? So what if our tickets were selling slowly? Our sales can still do great. The second round of tickets can be released now!”
“Alright!”
They were selling so well that others started envying them!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWho could resist the temptation of seeing such large amounts of money rolling in?
A lot of people had gone crazy over this. To put it bluntly, they were here to rob them of their money!
…
Online.
The scolding was continuing.
“Those three have also sold out?”
“There are really people buying their tickets? Damn!”
“They have so many fans.”
“This makes me so angry!”
“They haven’t released the VIP tickets for sale yet?”
“They’ve been released, but I can’t get them at the market rate!”
“That’s right, I heard that they’re selling at 30-40,000 RMB a pop now!”
“30-40,000 RMB? That’s already old news. The latest I’ve heard is that Park Jaesang’s first row of VIP seats are now fetching close to 50,000 yuan! Who doesn’t know that all this was planned by those celebrities and the ticketing agents? They were the ones who pumped up the prices to sell the tickets through scalpers!”
“Only a fool would buy!”
“But people actually bought them.”
Many fans of the Japanese and Korean celebrities came forward at this time.
“Why wouldn’t we buy them?”
“I have nothing but money!”
“Right, I’m a tycoon!”
“So what if they’re selling it on the black market? In the end, the money still goes to our oppas. I’m more than willing to contribute my share! Hahahaha, buy, buy, buy!”
“Who has VIP tickets? I’ll buy one! 50,000 RMB is my offer!”
“Does anyone still have Kim Jichan’s VIP tickets? I won’t buy them if they’re too cheap!”
“You people are too nosy. We have the money and we can buy as expensive a ticket as we want. We can afford it! We just want to support our oppas! Deal with it!”
“Right, we’ll buy them no matter how expensive they are! Kim Jichan, I love you!”
“The more expensive they are, the more I’ll buy! Park Jaesang, I love you!”
“What’s 50,000 RMB anyway? Kimura, Kimura, I desire you!”
“For the sake of our idol, do you think we can’t bear to spend this bit of money?”
A group of wealthy people were clamoring to sweep up the VIP tickets in a show of support for the three Japanese and Korean celebrities’ concerts in China. Coincidentally, a lot of VIP tickets suddenly started appearing everywhere in the form of scalped tickets. The rich and fanatical fans swarmed them at once!
“They’ve released the tickets!”
“They’re finally out!”
“It’s the VIP tickets! I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to buy any!”
“Hahaha, here I come! Buy, buy, buy!”
But when they saw the ticket prices, everyone was dumbfounded!
The “whales” were so shocked that their jaws dropped!
“How much?”
“How much do they cost?”
“500,000 RMB?”
“They’re selling them at 500,000 yuan per ticket?”
“Kimura, Kimura, I—Fuck you!”
“Oppa, oppa—Your grandpa!”
“The more expensive they are, the more I’ll buy—Buy your sister!”
“500,000 yuan? Only an idiot would buy it!”
“Have you all gone crazy!?”
“What the heck! Do you really think I’m a sucker?”
“I already bought tickets at 100,000 yuan! But 500,000? Why don’t you all just go to hell!”
“Have you gone crazy from trying to make money?!”
“I can afford a condo with that 500,000 RMB, alright!”
“Fuck! How infuriating! Even if I’m rich, this is no way to be spending money!”
The rich and fanatical fans who had been supporting the oppas just a moment ago were now jumping up and cursing. As for everyone else, it was needless to even mention how they reacted!
Instantly, the entire country descended into scolding!
“This is too sinister!”
“Damn, damn, damn!”
“Just go to hell!”
“Whoever buys them is an idiot!”
“I won’t let them earn a single cent from me!”
“Get out of China!”
“Get out of China!”
“I want a refund for my ticket!”
“Right, I don’t want to watch it anymore!”
“I want a refund for my ticket!”
Everyone was infuriated!
Even the Japanese and Korean celebrities’ fans were cursing!
The media also gave their harshest criticism!
“Who will stop this crazy profiteering?”
“VIP tickets at 500,000 RMB each?”
“Excessive hype leads to sky-high ticket prices!”
“Three concerts on the verge of collapse!”
“People request refunds!”
“From the fans: I’m not impressed by their behavior this time!”
Scolding!
Scolding!
And more scolding!
The entire country was in an uproar!
The initial ticket prices had already been quite controversial, with many voices of doubt among the people. When Zhang Ye’s honest ticket prices were announced, the questioning became even stronger. Later, when the Japanese and Korean celebrities deliberately pumped up their concerts’ VIP ticket prices, it aroused even more disapproval from countless people and the problem neared a tipping point. When the 500,000 RMB tickets appeared, the three concerts with sky-high ticket prices finally collapsed.
It was a complete collapse!
The Japanese and Korean celebrities’ concerts’ second round of ticket sales instantly stopped selling!
…
The Japanese and Korean celebrity team members were stunned!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKim Jichan was dumbfounded!
Park Jaesang was dumbfounded!
Kimura Kazuya was also dumbfounded!
“Who is it?”
“Who is selling the tickets?”
“500,000 RMB?”
“Fuck, what the hell is the ticketing agent trying to pull!”
Even when they were flooded by scolding from the Chinese people and media, they still did not know what had happened. They hurriedly investigated the situation, then found out some news that enraged them. Their VIP tickets had earlier been purchased in bulk by someone through their connections!
There was no evidence!
There were no receipts!
However, the sources of all the purchases pointed in one direction!
Zhang Ye’s Studio!
“Zhang! Ye!”
“Your sister!”
“Fuck your grandpa!”
“You’re too fucking mean!”
“How dare you scam us!”
“This is too cruel! He’s too cruel!”
“Fuck! How can there be someone like him!”
“The Asian philanthropic ambassador? You should fucking be the Asian hooligan ambassador instead!”
They were finally panicking!
The three Japanese and Korean celebrity teams hurriedly tried to salvage things!
Issuing statements!
Making clarifications!
Giving explanations!
However, all of that was useless!
It was already pointless!
The momentum had already gathered, and public opinion was crushing them to death. By now, they could not turn things around no matter how hard they tried. They had been nailed to a cross and crucified!
The ticketing issue was already messed up!
Even before the concerts had begun, they were getting scolded like crazy!
Seeing this unfold before their eyes, they were on the verge of collapse!
Before this, they had thought that it wouldn’t matter. When their concerts officially started, that would be the time to compete on who was better. However, no one expected that before the concerts even took place, they would get beaten back by Zhang Ye. Wave after wave of underhanded methods rushed in like a monsoon. Every method was more vicious and despicable than the last! They knew that Zhang Ye was wicked and shameless, and had seen this in the news as well. However, they never expected that this Zhang fellow could actually turn out to be so wicked and so shameless!
They have never come across someone like this before!
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, this was really the first time they’d come across someone like him!
There was no one similar to him in Japan!
There was no one similar to him in Korea!
There was no one similar to him in the entire world!
Only in China!
Only Zhang Ye was like this!
Today, their horizons had truly been broadened!
