"Richie!"

On the morning of Yang Qian's concert in Hong Kong City, Shi Mo received her friend Richie Russ from afar at the airport.

Rich Russ is a blond and white-bearded little old man who was born in Germany, but has been working and living in the United States. He is not handsome in appearance, but he can be regarded as kind-hearted.

One of his most eye-catching features is the Van Dyke beard that is particularly well-groomed. Although the roots are all white, it still gives people the sense of Santa Claus with his beard shortened.

"My dear Shi Mo. After receiving your email, I immediately put aside other things, booked a flight and rushed over! I hope I didn't miss it." (Note: This is an English dialogue, but for everyone's reading experience,

Just replace it with Chinese.)

Richie Russ hugged Shimo affectionately.

What he said was not an exaggeration at all. Indeed, Shi Mo sent him an email yesterday and attached a video of Yang Qian's rehearsal, which made him very interested. He immediately took a flight across the ocean from the United States.

Came over.

Of course, without that video, Rich Russ would have been equally interested in Yang Qian because he had heard Shi Mo sing the song "Sailing" and also heard about Yang Qian's situation from Shi Mo.

"No, you came in time. Come with me, you go to the hotel to rest first and adjust to the jet lag. I believe you will not be disappointed at tonight's concert."

Shi Mo greeted Rich Russ, whom she had already booked a hotel for.

Don't get me wrong, Rich Russ is just an old friend of Shi Mo's who has known him for many years.

As early as the last century, Shi Mo and Rich Russ met. At that time, Shi Mo took a break from acting. Later, he came back and began to develop in an international direction. Rich Russ was a gold medal agent in the top brokerage company in the United States.

people.

Although Shi Mo was not signed by Rich Russ's company, because of Rich Russ's appreciation of Shi Mo, the two also had similar artistic preferences - for example, Rich Russ liked rock music very much.

Shi Mo also liked music, so the two became very good friends.

Now Rich Russ has retired, and he is actually older than Shi Mo.

Before retiring, Rich Russ also served as an executive of a top brokerage company. It can be said that his ability is very outstanding.

Of course, retirement does not mean that you will do nothing in the future and just fish and enjoy yourself every day.

Rich Russ is very interested in the rapidly developing streaming media market and conducted very detailed research before retiring. Now, after withdrawing from his previous agency, Rich Russ also wants to start a small company.

Experiment in the streaming media market to see if we can explore some new models.

Last summer, Rich Russ came to Hong Kong City for a trip. While chatting with Shi Mo, he expressed his thoughts and jokingly asked Shi Mo if he was interested in going to the North American market and fighting for a few more years.

Shi Mo had already sung "Sailing" at that time, and he had heard the single. Although it was just a song, he liked the old and charming singing voice very much, and he liked the vicissitudes and profound artistic conception.

It's just a pity that Shi Mo had already fulfilled his wish and didn't want to challenge himself anymore.

Rich Russ wanted to talk to Yang Qian too.

So, the musician who wrote the song "Sailing" is also a very capable singer. What would he think?

What needs to be explained here is that going to the North American market to compete does not mean going to the United States.

Of course, if Shi Mo has time and interest, it will definitely be more convenient to go to the United States.

But Rich Russ was thinking of an online streaming model—a new way of playing music that emerged due to the epidemic in the past few years.

Even if you don’t go to the United States, you can still cooperate!

Shi Mo brought Rich Russ over because she knew that Rich Russ's ideas did not conflict with Yang Qian's ideas!

...

"It's really a miracle when you think about it. It was said on Twitter that it was sold out in one second. A large number of people couldn't get it, but we actually got two tickets!"

"Actually, Yang Qian is merciful! If that combination cooperates with scalpers inside and outside, you will be damned if you grab it!"

"Speaking of which, these two tickets actually require real-name verification, with ID card and face verification! Hey, if it hadn't been like this, I would have sold them to scalpers, and I think they could be sold at sky-high prices."

"You are eating shit! There is no real-name system and it is sold to scalpers. If you can beat the scalpers, the scalpers will probably take the tickets directly from the backend!"

In the evening, outside the Hong Kong Coliseum, there was a long queue for ticket check-in.

Because it is a real-name system, and it is not a manual ticket inspection, you have to swipe your ID card and face to enter. This can effectively prevent scalpers from selling tickets, but it also brings some trouble to the on-site ticket inspection work.

Face brushing?

Swipe ID card?

With such high standards, not to mention the audience, even the staff have only seen it during customs clearance.

In order to meet Yang Qian's request - mainly due to the pressure from UMG, and they have actually considered doing this - the Hong Kong Coliseum also specifically contacted the equipment manufacturer to add two smart ticket checking devices. If the feedback is good, they will

Of course, we will continue to invest more.

If it doesn't work, the manufacturer still has to pull it back, and they have to pay rent to try it out...

But with more than 12,000 spectators at the scene, how could these two devices cope with it?

They can only be separated, and VIP tickets are still checked manually. At the same time, ticket check-in starts one and a half hours earlier, and the manufacturer's maintenance workers are also with them, ready to be called at any time.

Fortunately, these two devices have withstood the test. Although the order at the scene was a bit chaotic and everyone had to queue up, they were grateful and joyful that they could buy tickets, and they were looking forward to Yang Qian's concert.

Ease this anxious mood!

Except for a handful of spectators who were deceived by scalpers and bought other people's tickets at high prices but failed to pass the face-scanning test, they finally argued excitedly outside and left helplessly and depressedly. Everyone else entered the venue smoothly!

Rich Russ got the top VIP ticket in the box, so he certainly didn't need to wait in a long line to get in.

Accompanied by Shi Mo, Richie entered the box early.

"Richie, do you need to meet Yang Qian alone?"

Shi Mo asked him.

"I want to see him again after the concert. I may have a lot to communicate with him. It's not appropriate to interrupt his concert now."

Richie smiled and shook his head.

Shi Mo actually understood that Rich also wanted to see Yang Qian's performance.

Just like a scout in a football match, he heard Shi Mo's praise of Yang Qian from her mouth and watched several of Yang Qian's performance videos. However, as an old agent, Richie still preferred to use his own

Look with your eyes and feel Yang Qian's music.

See if Yang Qian is suitable for him to take action...

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

When Shen Changqing walks on the road and meets familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who it is.

There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.

Regarding this.

Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, it also has some other side jobs.

It can be said.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Slayer Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.

Then he will be promoted step by step, and eventually he is expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.

Possess the memory of the previous life.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.

Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that are full of chills, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.

Enter the attic.

The environment just changes in vain.

The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, causing him to frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
