Rebirth Of The Godly Prodigal

The fans in this world were much simpler than those from Hong Dali"s previous life. As long as the singers were not too ugly and their singing was nice to the ear, that was enough for them. This was different from his previous life, where the singers had to be packaged, promoted, and sometimes even paired with a background story that could bring tears to people"s eyes.

Li Nianwei returned the microphone, walked down the stage amidst the fanatical cheering of the audience, and stood in front of Hong Dali. "Young Master Dali, is… is my singing ok?"

She was quite confident in her own strength, but she wasn"t sure if she could gain the acknowledgment of Hong Dali. Therefore, she was quite nervous.

"Silly girl, Young Master has agreed. From now on, you are an artist under the Young Master"s company." Her manager tugged her elbow and hurriedly said, "Quick, greet him as "Young Master"! Because of you, Young Master purposely set up a filming company and bought an office building, the Chenhui Building in the fourth loop!"

Hearing that Hong Dali had agreed, tears of joy flowed out from Li Nianwei"s eyes, and her voice shook. "Young… Young Master." Actually, her dream was very simple. She only wished to focus on writing and singing songs. She liked to sing, and if there were people that liked to hear her sing, then that was enough for her.

Hong Dali smiled cheerfully, twitched his nose, and said, "You sang quite well. You shall work under me from now on. You are now the first artist in my company and its base member." Having said this, Hong Dali touched his chin. "En, speaking of which, my company doesn"t have a name yet. That"s not suitable." As he spoke, Hong Dali suddenly looked at the female manager. "Oh ya, I don"t know your name yet."

The female manager excitedly said, "My name is Zhang Cai.Cai1for colorful."

"OK, got it." Hong Dali"s expression was very calm as if giving a name to his new company wasn"t important to him at all. He casually said, "In that case, let"s just name this company Caiwei Entertainment. It"s simple and easy to remember."

Li Nianwei and Zhang Cai were entirely stunned. "Cai… Caiwei?"

Such a big issue, buying an office building and setting up an entertainment company, yet in the end, their names were used to name the company? This young master, could it be that these things were really of no importance to him?

Being a superprodigal, for Hong Dali, this matter was actually just a good way for him to squander. The movie industry in this world was doing poorly. As a matter of fact, according to his knowledge, all the businesses that were related to entertainment were not doing very well.

The fee that an artist, even the current most popular artist in the country, was paid for attending an activity was at most about 200,000 yuan. Although their fans might like them a lot, they would definitely not be as fanatical as the fans from Hong Dali"s previous life.

Therefore, spending so much money on an artist was definitely not profitable. No matter how hard Li Nianwei worked, the best result that she could have was earning a few million yuan for the company. This money was practically nothing compared to the money spent to purchase an office building.

Hong Dali brought Li Nianwei and Zhang Cai to a corner of the nightclub and asked, "Your name is Li Nianwei, am I right? Well, Sister Nianwei, the songs that you have written so far, are they enough to open a concert?" By now, his cla.s.smates had already gathered around them. Each of them was carrying a dog with them, creating quite the comical scene.

Li Nianwei was shy with strangers. Adding the fact that she was quite excited right now, she didn"t dare to sit with Hong Dali, instead sitting on the edge of the sofa. Head lowered, she softly said, "Yes, I have written 17 or 18 songs so far. It should be enough."

"That"s good to hear. We shall open an outdoor concert here at the plaza in West Fourth Loop tomorrow night!" Hong Dali laughed loudly. "This time, I am going to squander big time, hahaha!"

Tang Muxin carried her pet, Xiao Xiaobai, which was dyed to look like a panda, and sat beside Hong Dali. She asked curiously, "Dali, are you seriously going to open a concert? That will be very troublesome. You will have to go and rent the stereo sound system, stage lighting, and so on. Most importantly, there isn"t enough time to advertise."

Hong Dali pointed at the 2,000-plus heads on the dance floor and said, "Advertising is easy. There are so many people here, just get them to help. These people will help us advertise. Add some posters and whatnot, easy."

Ling Xiaoyi had always been standing beside Hong Dali. Her duty was to satisfy Hong Dali"s every request. She immediately softly asked, "Young Master, why don"t we delay the concert by another two days? Since the purpose is to help Lady Nianwei boost her popularity, it is best to do it with a bigger scene. The West Fourth Loop sports stadium is just three kilometers to the north from here and has a seating capacity of 40,000 people. If you include the football field, it can accommodate up to 50,000 people. Why don"t we rent that for a night? We"ll also have time to do some proper advertising."

"Oh? The West Fourth Loop football stadium!?" Hong Dali"s eyes brightened up as if they were 200-watt light bulbs. "I agree! Hurry, help me calculate how much money I will be able to squander. I want an accurate amount!"

Beside him, Tang Muxin and his cla.s.smates let out a sigh.Young Master Dali is going to squander again…

Ling Xiaoyi carefully calculated and, shortly after, said, "For now, about two million yuan should be enough. Five hundred thousand yuan to rent the place—there don"t seem to be any compet.i.tions being held there this period, so it should be enough. The stereo sound system should cost about 100,000 to 300,000 yuan. The lighting and stage added up should cost about 500,000 yuan. The remaining money can be used to print fliers for advertising. Two million yuan should be enough."

"Two million yuan, this is not a bad sum!" Hong Dali immediately decided, but then immediately added, "I want the best stereo sound system, the kind that costs 500,000 yuan a night. For the stage, I want it to to be on a scale that uses 500,000 yuan. As for the lighting, hehe…"

This laughter caused the hairs of the people around him to stand. Even the 40-plus dogs instantly began barking.

Tang Muxin said in a low voice, "Dali, why did you give such a sinister laugh? It scared me."

"I have a good idea for the lighting, haha!" Hong Dali loudly laughed again before saying, "Since I am going to squander, I must squander on a scale that is grand and mind-blowing! How can normal lighting be enough? I have a great idea. It will definitely make everyone satisfied!"

As Hong Dali"s most loyal sidekick, Du Xinzhen said, "This small master has used my fortune-telling skills to calculate that Big Bro Dali definitely has a good idea!"

His cla.s.smates: "We can tell that even without your calculation!"

Indeed, they saw Hong Dali very forthrightly stand up and say, "For lighting, we shall use 20 million yuan!"

"What the heck!" His cla.s.smates were shocked to the point of collapsing on thefloor2. Tang Muxin was so shocked that her eyes opened wide into circles. "Dali, what kind of lighting is worth 20 million yuan! Are you talking in your dreams? You can buy a whole set of the best lighting in the country with just about 300,000 yuan!"

"That just shows how ignorant you are, OK?" Hong Dali chicly tossed his hair. "Use my Soaring Angel"s extended headlights as the main lighting, with one Prayer Angel on each side. All of you can also drive your cars over too. We shall use the cars" headlights as lighting for Sister Nianwei! Hmph Hmph, I guarantee that you will not be able to find a second lighting set in the country that can squander as much as this!"In Chinese, cai is one of the characters for colorful.Just a description of how shocked they were.
