Since the beginning of this year, Chengdu's concert market has been "shining brightly". From Zhou Chuanxiong and Basanxiao at the beginning of the year, to Miriam Yang, Soda Green, Xu Huaiyu recently, and then to Li Zongsheng and Deng Ziqi who are about to sing, "good voices" are endless.
On the evening of May 11, Xu Huaiyu's 2024 "Countdown 3 Seconds" tour concert was held in Phoenix Mountain Sports Park in Chengdu. As the operator of the venue, Liu Xiaochuan, deputy general manager of Chengdu Chengtou Wanguan Sports and Culture Development Co., Ltd., was interviewed by a reporter from Chengdu Daily Jinguan News during the meal interval before the performance started, "In the past two days to prepare for the performance, except for eating, I have not stopped at other times, and the work schedule is very full." ”
On April 27, Hu Yanbin's tour concert in Chengdu was held in Phoenix Mountain Sports Park
"Busy" Phoenix Mountain Sports Park:
From March to early May, more than 100,000 concert visitors were received
Liu Xiaochuan used a set of data to describe the "busyness" of Phoenix Mountain Sports Park: "Up to now, this year has undertaken and presented 9 performances by popular artists such as Zhou Chuanxiong, Soda Green, Hu Yanbin, etc., especially 8 performances from March to early May, receiving more than 100,000 audiences. Next, there are concerts such as Li Keqin, Pan Wilber, Ren Xianqi, and Xu Song that have been officially announced. ”
In March this year, the China Performance Industry Association and industry organizations released the annual insight report on large-scale concerts in the performance market in 2023, with a box office of nearly 14.6 billion yuan for large-scale concerts with more than 5,000 people in 2023, a record high; The number of large-scale concerts reached more than 2,400, and the total number of spectators exceeded 20 million, and Chengdu ranked among the top 10 audiences in other places.
The popularity of the concert reflects the enthusiasm of performance consumption, and it also stimulates the concert industry chain. The smooth holding of each large-scale performance often requires months of preparation and participation by local performers.
The technical support staff of Phoenix Mountain Sports Park commands the operation of the sound control room in real time
"During the project, the project owner and responsible colleagues often worked with stars and moons, and their voices became hoarse in the later stage, and their mobile phones were always hot." Liu Xiaochuan introduced. As the team mainly responsible for venue operation and technical support, Liu Xiaochuan describes his work as follows, "In such a big topic as a concert, all the work is interlocked, and the local performance organization needs to complete the content of multi-party docking, communication and implementation. For example, on the day of Xu Huaiyu's concert, we will list a detailed work form, complete the sound test, lighting commissioning, and communicate with the organizer, etc., and strictly implement it in each period. More than half an hour before the end of the performance, it is necessary to make final confirmation that the exit is unblocked and that the exit management personnel are in place. We may see that the staff only turns off a field light, plays a hot video, guides the audience route, arranges the placement of the guide and other specific and micro work, but before these 'final steps', they are all plans made after countless times of communication and countless visits to the scene to troubleshoot problems. ”
Concert "Screw" Mortal Song:
This year's schedule has been scheduled until the end of the year
"For example, this year, we have done Zhou Chuanxiong, Basanyao, and Miriam Yang, all of which have been in the first half of last year, such as scheduling, finalizing, submitting for approval, putting on the shelves, and promoting sales. In the following May, Li Zongsheng and Hot Dog, Deng Ziqi who sang three times in June, Ren Xianqi on June 22, Zhou Xingzhe and Zhou Huajian who are to be officially announced in July, Wang Feng in the second half of the year and other concerts have been scheduled until the end of the year, and they are also planning to perform in the first half of 2025. The person in charge of Chengdu mortal song culture told reporters about this year's work dynamics.
As a performing arts company rooted in Chengdu, its business entities include large-scale concerts, concerts, high-quality repertoire and other performing arts activities at home and abroad, and has acted as a "screw" in Chengdu's concert economy over the years.
On April 20th, Miriam Yang's MY TREE OF LIVE world tour Chengdu station
Recently, Taiyuan, Zhengzhou, Shanghai and other cities have launched new policies for the performance market to support the landing of high-quality theatrical performances, large-scale concerts and music festivals. "From the perspective of the overall performing arts market, we are optimistic about Chengdu's concert economy this year, and the number of audiences and performances may reach a new high." The person in charge of Mortal Song has a positive attitude towards this year's market, and at the same time, around the "concert +", he put forward his own suggestions for "attracting customers" to "retaining customers".
"The concert economy needs to practice internal skills, do a good job in the 'evolution' of performing arts experience services, and the production of performing arts products should be innovative, enrich the supply of content, improve venue services and supporting services in all links, and bring the audience a better sense of on-site experience. Fill the emotional value of the audience and tourists. ”
