Chapter 409 The Third Generation of the Reagan Family
The second Woodstock Music Festival was an unprecedented success.

With multiple rounds of publicity in newspapers, television, radio, and by the singer himself, the number of live audiences exceeded 60 in one fell swoop, reaching 60!

Judging from ticket sales alone, the Adventure Project made money!
The ticket price for each spectator per day is $5.

If you buy 3 days, it's $15.

The setting is very scientific and reasonable. It costs $5 a day to watch so many star bands perform. And there is a performance schedule, so you can choose the day you like!
But with so many people coming here from all over the country, do they need to spend a whole day to watch it?
They are going to have fun for three days and three nights!

Needless to say, everyone's eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping, and playing all cost money. Wang Yuanchao didn't need to hoard them and sell them at double the price. He made much more than the ticket sales.

Not to mention the sponsorship fees from various sponsors. When the media and TV stations come to interview us, they have to pay money or sign a cooperation agreement. Otherwise, you can interview outside. We are not allowed to interview you inside.

The costs of risky plans are few and far between, and the biggest cost is the human cost.

Because there are so many visitors, we need 5000 staff and volunteers! The staff need to be paid, and the volunteers only need to be provided with food, drink and accommodation, free of charge!
In the morning, afternoon and night sessions, a large number of singers and bands from home and abroad, famous and unknown, flocked in. The main theme is full, large, sufficient, colorful, and all kinds of tastes are available.

The legendary experience of the first session made many singers and bands famous overnight. In this second session, many singers and bands came even if they were only offered a friendly price. It is a great occasion to increase popularity!

Even Bob Dylan came over!
I wanted to take advantage of this great guy in the first session, but failed.

The second session used the theme song "We Are the World", with all the stars present, and with the righteousness explained and an appropriate appearance fee, Bob Dylan agreed to come out. Of course, the Blackwater security that accompanied the negotiation may have played a role as well.

Singers from home and abroad, of course, Wang Ling was also included, she is a serious singer under Muse Music! The last Miss Universe!

Deborah Lee and Zhen Zhen also have representative works. No matter what, Wang Yuanchao used his power for personal gain and brought them in to increase their popularity.

To this end, he also brought in Shinichi Mori, Meiko Kaji and the Red Bird Band from Japan.

Mori Susumu is one of the pioneers of Japanese pop music, enjoying a high reputation and influence, and is known as the "Father of Japanese Modern Rock". But at this time, he also emerged and was able to be the closing guest at the Red and White Songs Festival in Japan.

Meiko Kaji is known for her performance in the movie "Shurayukihime". The movie and its theme song "Shurahana" became classics. Later, the film was remade in the West and renamed "Kill Bill". She is also a household name in Japan.

The Red Bird Band debuted in 69 and released the song "Please Give Me Wings" at the beginning of this year.

By this calculation, Wang Yuanchao did not deliberately favor Hong Kong people, right?

After all, being able to perform in the United States and to step onto the stage in the United States is something that is hard to imagine for the small country of Japan!

Of course, in order to be able to perform in the United States, the organizations behind them, Toei and Sony, have done a lot of transactions and cooperation with Hong Kong's Starlight Pictures, Deep Blue Electronics and Diamond Records.

I won't mention this kind of exchange of interests. Wang Yuanchao likes to do win-win things the most.

As for the others, well, it's a bit difficult. Even Wang Yuanchao can't just stuff people in without restraint. In Asia, there are Hong Kong and Japan, which is about enough.

We will also invite many singers and bands from Europe.

All singers were paid the same as American singers by the Adventure Plan, which was no more than $1. If it was a band, after the salary was used for travel, they would basically not make any money, and might even lose money.

But even so, it couldn't stop the singers' enthusiasm.

A stage for hundreds of thousands of people! If you can't perform on such a stage, what kind of successful singer are you? Can this be measured by money?
However, the price paid by Toei and Sony is far higher than this remuneration.

It is not easy to get on the stage of the beautiful country.

Liu Qijin, well, he had to manage the overall situation in Hong Kong, so he couldn't come to watch the fun. And Wang Yuanchao's only son, Wang Xiao, could only stay in Hong Kong, so Lou Xiao'e couldn't come either. Zheng Juan, forget it, you don't even know English, just study hard at home.

From this music festival alone, the Adventure Project earned more than 6000 million U.S. dollars. After deducting various expenses and taxes, the net profit was nearly 2000 million U.S. dollars!
It is true that the local government and surrounding villagers also made 18 million yuan, but the adventure plan could not cover all the consumption of the audience.

This is the money-making power of the super music festival of the world's most powerful country!
The first session was ruined by the four shareholders of the original adventure plan!

Of course, this time, the four shareholders of the original adventure plan were able to receive dividends of $200 million!
Wang Yuanchao took out another 200 million as bonuses and distributed them to the executives and band of Muse Music, as well as to Xixi's team.

The money is too much, and the tax lawyer suggested that it should be donated to the Muse Children's Foundation and invested on a large scale, so that the tax can be reduced by about 600 million. The tax in the United States is too heavy.

Wang Yuanchao naturally followed suit.

He was going to invest, invest, and invest again.

The foundation's money is also his money, it's just under a different name.

As for the music industry, media, singers, and audiences, this year's event was a model of win-win cooperation, with the first event leading the way. Hasbro also noticed this event, and their board of directors immediately approved the copyright dividend and R&D investment for Power Rangers.

The dividend is 3%, and the initial R&D investment is 500 million US dollars.

The requirement is that the ownership of the toys developed be shared by Hasbro and PG Comics, with no time limit. If one party wants to transfer the ownership, the other party has the right of first refusal.

This event made them feel that Adam Wang did not have no choice even if he did not cooperate with Hasbro. Cooperating with successful people was the only way for everyone to make money.

Wang Yuanchao already had this thing in his mind, so why would he need 500 million? The details were not drawn in the comics, purely because they did not want to reveal them.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Hasbro paid some extra copyright fees. After all, Wang Yuanchao asked for 10% at that time, but now they have only given 3%. If 500 million is spread over the next few years, there will not be much left.

Since the 500 million is research and development expenses, it will naturally be "burned" as costs. Then Wang Yuanchao can take it outside and spend it anywhere without paying taxes.

This also reminded him that in future music festivals, he would have to expand his internal costs so that he could just carry cash with him everywhere!
After the festival ended, the members of SHE couldn't wait to fly back to Los Angeles to share their success with their family and friends. Regardless, as the younger sisters of the Jokers and the Carpenters, they also made a successful debut and became a hit.

Patricia made a rare return to Sacramento, to the Governor's Mansion, and proudly showed off her brilliant achievements to her parents, siblings, and younger brother.

"Did you see that? So many people cheered for me and applauded me, but I was still standing in the center. Debbie and Karen could only stand on either side of me!"

She pointed at the characters in the photos and introduced them to her family.

Reagan and Nancy looked at each other. Their youngest daughter had actually become famous. She was famous for her short-lived enthusiasm.

They didn't need to look at photos, they watched the TV broadcast!

Patricia and her two best friends were the first to be informed of their presence at such a major event.

Nancy said with relief:
"Why didn't you tell us earlier? Who would have thought, SHE, right, it was you guys!"

Patricia snorted complacently and said:
"This is the surprise, you know? My talent is better than yours, isn't it? When you were my age, what were you doing, Dad? What were you doing, Mom?"

Reagan laughed:

"Well, when you were your age, your mother and I were probably both in college! Just like you are now. Of course, we weren't as famous as you are."

Sister Maureen said:
"I really should communicate with you and try to interview you. I can definitely help you do a great job."

Brother Michael exaggerated:

"Oh my god, I have such a famous sister. Is Patty the most famous person in our Reagan family?"

The younger brother raised his hand and shouted:
"Then Patty, can you get Debbie's autographed photo for me? Then I'll be the coolest boy in school, hahahaha!"

Patricia puffed up her lips, pinched her younger brother Ron with her backhand, and said:
"Oh my god, your superstar sister is right in front of you, and you actually want her to help you get someone else's autographed photo? You blind guy, aren't my autographed photos good enough?"

The family's rare fights and fights were filled with laughter because of the return of the rebellious Patricia.

Nancy cooked herself and made her daughter's favorite red wine steak.

As a result, Patricia began to retch.

Nancy said with concern:
"What's the matter with you, Patty? Oh my God, you..."

She bit the rest of the words in her stomach.

At night, when the children all went back to their rooms to rest, Nancy said to her husband:

"Honey, there may be something I need to tell you. Our Patty may be pregnant."

Reagan was reading a newspaper and was shocked when he heard this. He was also a father of several children, so he was naturally familiar with this. When his wife reminded him, he immediately thought of his daughter retching during dinner.

"This..." His mind was suddenly confused and he didn't know what to say.

Actually, the Woodstock Festival that his daughter attended was anti-war. That event was held in the Democratic Party. Just look at the newspapers and you will know that all the praises were from the mouthpieces of the Democratic Party. It was the opposite of his party, the Republican Party. But his daughter had grown up, and he had no objection even if she joined the Democratic Party. But, this actually caused her to get pregnant...
