Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Previously, he shocked the world by using 40 luxury cars as lighting, and this time he was even planning to use helicopters too. Wouldn’t that cause people to go crazy?

Who knew that Hong Dali blandly sniffled and mumbled, “How is this a big scene? My original plan for Sister Nianwei’s next concert was to build a statue of her first, then hire the army to open the path for her. Unfortunately, the statue is easy, but it might be difficult to hire the army. Should I hire security guards instead... wait, security guards!?”

As he mumbled, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole spirit lightened up. “Xiaoyi, I got an idea! This time, go and hire security guards, a lot of them! Pay them 200 yuan per day. Hire 5,000 of them to open up the road!”

Once he finished, everyone around him was stunned. Then, Tang Muxin exclaimed, “Dali, are you planning a revolt!”

Hong Dali: “How is hiring security guards equal to planning a revolt? I’m just hiring them in large numbers...”

“There will be many of them on the road, those informed will know that they’re for the concert. Those not informed will think that it’s the president going out!” Tang Muxin’s heart almost burst out. “This is not a small matter!”

“It isn’t as serious as you said.” Hong Dali looked at Zhang Cai and said, “Sister Cai, inform the related authorities—say that we are going to film a big movie. That shouldn’t be much of a problem, right? They’re just security guards, not some commoners who’re planning a riot.”

Zhang Cai carefully thought for a while and said, “I can’t be sure, but it shouldn’t be much of a problem. Yup, as long as they are not equipped with weapons, it should be OK. I will call them and ask about this first thing tomorrow morning.”

“Then it’s settled!” Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “Such a good way to squander, I’m such a genius! Brouhaha, 5,000 people, that will cost a million in just a single night!”

What was the concept of a million yuan? That was an entire 10 attribute points, that’s a million yuan worth of his mission requirement. Now, he was still lacking about seven million yuan to complete his mission. Once he squandered three to four million yuan on the “I Am a Singer” project and some other stuff, he would be able to complete the mission easily. Thus, Hong Dali instantly reached out both hands and counted on his fingers. “One million for the stage and half a million for the stereo sound system. As for the lighting use helicopters... er, Xiaoyi, how much will the helicopters cost?”

Ling Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, “I’m not sure about this, but I remember an article last year that talked about how a couple hired helicopters for their marriage. Supposedly, the cost of the helicopters is calculated on an hourly basis. However, helicopters don’t exist in large numbers—I’m afraid that if we hire helicopters of several different models, it won’t look very nice. Also, the common use ones are also too small and not impressive enough. As for those from the army, they are not for hire.”

“Yup, I forgot about that.” Hong Dali thought for a while and helplessly said, “Forget it, just hire one or two helicopters to film the show. As for the lighting, let me think about it. Don’t worry about that for now.”

As a superprodigal, using the same lighting twice was not something worthy of his status.

Very soon, Hong Dali came up with an idea. “Xiaoyi, for the lighting, there should be quite a number of tall buildings around the sports stadium, right? Install a giant jacklight on each of them—the type that can move. My requirement this time is to use the sports cars as lighting surrounding the stage, while the jacklights are in charge of lighting up the celebrities! Also, prepare some normal lightings of different sizes as well.”

Hong Dali’s words shocked everyone again. Tang Muxin opened her mouth in surprise, unable to speak a word. This prodigal, he was going to squander at least a million on the lighting alone!

“But...” Ling Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, “The jacklights are easy to find, but the light won’t be able to reach the stage in the stadium!”

“Isn’t that easy?” Hong Dali grinned. “Prepare large mirrors on stage to reflect light—you are in charge of settling that. Heh heh, this time, I’m going to be able to enjoy myself again!”

“All... all right...” Ling Xiaoyi had to admit, she was really shocked this time and took a while to recover. “Young Master, then we might as well prepare more mirrors and use a computer to control their directions. This way, it will be much easier to control the lightings.”

“Good idea!” Hong Dali instantly decided. “That’s how we shall do it then!” action

Now that the lighting was decided, Hong Dali looked at Zhang Cai again. “Sister Cai, what was the name of that singer again? I forgot. The one you mentioned was quite reputable.”

Zhang Cai smiled and said, “Chu Zhongqin.”

“Yup, that’s right, Chu Zhongqin. Have you contacted him? What’s his reply?” This person was critical. If he didn’t attend, the other celebrities might not join too. It could be said that he was a crucial figure for the “I Am a Singer” show this time.

“I have already contacted his manager, they’re still making arrangements for it.” Zhang Cai took out her phone and said, “Let me check with them again.”

Her call came through very shortly. Zhang Cai asked gently, “Is this Manager Zhou? It’s me, Zhang Cai. Regarding the matter that I talked to you about yesterday, are you able to arrange the time for it?”

“Ah, the timing is a bit tight.” Manager Zhou was a bit troubled. “You should know that Mr. Chu is always quite busy, and this matter is really a bit hard to arrange. Actually, Mr. Chu is quite keen on joining too...”

Hearing his reply, Zhang Cai was a bit nervous and asked, “Then, Manager Zhou, do you think you could ask Mr. Chu to try his best and make out some time...”

“I will try my best.” Manager Zhou said, “I can’t be sure if he will agree...”

Hong Dali grew impatient as he heard this and instantly said, “500,000 yuan.”

Zhang Cai instantly knew what he meant. “My Young Master asked if 500,000 yuan for his attending is alright.”

“This...” Manager Zhou obviously hesitated.

Hong Dali: “700,000 yuan.”

Zhang Cai: “If 500,000 yuan isn’t enough, my Young Master said that he can increase the price to 700,000 yuan.”

“I will try my best! I will definitely try my best!” Manager Zhou instantly got serious.

Hong Dali: “One million yuan.”

Zhang Cai: “My Young Master say if you can agree now, he is willing to pay one million yuan.”

Manager Zhou was still a little hesitant. Hong Dali sniffled and said, “If they are not willing, then forget it. We can just find someone else.”

Zhang Cai immediately passed on the message. “My young master say if you still can’t decide even with this price, then we can only be sorry.”

Manager Zhou instantly decided. “Deal!”

Hong Dali mumbled, “Boring, I thought that he would still put on a show and hang on for a little longer. I didn’t expect him to agree so easily...”

Indeed, this time Manager Zhou replied quite quickly. In fact, he didn’t hang up, just that someone else spoke. “Hi, may I know when I should go over? If it’s fine, I can go over tomorrow.” Needless to say, this must be Chu Zhongqin. Although he was anxious inside his heart, he still put on a solid front. “Of course, please don’t be mistaken. I’m mainly going there to seek inspiration, heh heh.”
