The actors rehearsing the skit together were all comedians. The big shots of China were all experienced seniors with good personalities. Ling Sheng had become familiar with them in less than two days.
As soon as Xiaoqi had come over, he had become a doting family member of theirs. He was a fair-skinned, milky-white ball. Who would not like him? They would tease him when they had nothing to do and give him delicious things.
After the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, the place became visibly busier. The festive atmosphere was getting stronger.
On New Year’s day, the final episode of “C-Star” would air. Ling Sheng had already discussed it with the Eight Immortals and gone to the venue to cheer her younger brother on. She had left half a day on her schedule open for it.
She did not have lunch at noon, so she hurried to the extracurricular class to pick up her son, and they went to the filming site together.
The finals would be held at the Imperial Capital Stadium. The organizers had rented the biggest venue, which could accommodate 100,000 viewers. As for the scalpers, their highest ticket price was 200,000 yuan for a ticket in the first row.
Ling Sheng and the others had gotten their tickets internally. The organizers of the show planned to use them to increase the show’s popularity. Even if they had not planned to use them to hype up the show, with Cheng Ye and Su Yi around, they would not have had to worry about not getting tickets.
“Mommy.” Xiaoqi leaned against the window and looked out. His big eyes were sparkling with excitement as he tugged at her hand. “There are so many people!”
Ling Sheng looked out. Oh my, there was a big crowd. There were people everywhere. When she looked up, she saw human heads. There was a sea of people, and the sight made her scalp tingle.
She knew that the ticket prices on the internet had risen to more than 5,000 yuan. For example, the price of a ticket at the venue was 20,000 yuan. The best seats cost no less than 50,000 yuan. The most impressive thing was that the first few rows had exceeded 100,000 yuan. Fans from all over the world were fighting to buy those seats.
Among them, the fans of Cheng Ye and Si Chengluo were the most extravagant. They were also the richest and most affluent. Half a month ago, they had started fighting to get tickets to the venue. They had been unable to buy tickets because the prices kept increasing. The prices were so high now because both parties had bid very high.
The scalpers dared to raise the prices because people were willing to buy the tickets. If one decided not to buy them, the scalpers would end up suffering a loss when they failed to sell the tickets. Would they dare to raise the price then?
Actually, this kind of ticket price was a psychological battle between fans and scalpers. Whoever lasted until the end would win. However, it was obvious now that the fans had tried their best to cheer their baby on the spot. They had lost their minds. They wanted to snatch a good position and show off. I’m rich and I like to spend money. As long as I can see my baby, money is nothing!
In the end, the price of the tickets was too high, as it had increased tenfold or even a hundredfold. Thus, these sky-high prices had been created.
Ling Sheng had initially said that she had not expected so many people to come. However, reality proved that she was still too young and had underestimated the purchasing power and craziness of the fans.
In front of the gymnasium was a crowd of people, all of whom were holding various lit banners and support banners. This was so that they could have a showdown in the finals and not let their idols be defeated by others.
Everyone was organized and disciplined. The fans of both sides stood in their respective territory, and the two dramatic fandoms even had support suits. She was dumbfounded.
“Mommy, Mommy, Brother Luo’s fan!” Xiaoqi was extremely excited. He pulled Ling Sheng’s finger and showed something to her, his face flushed with excitement. “The one in orange over there is Brother Luo’s fan. The one in blue over there is Brother Xiao Ye’s fan.”
