Silence.

Sweat. Cold sweat. Buckets of sweat.

The sweat on the host’s face was enough to reflect the spotlights on him. The awkward silence continued for five to six seconds before the host quickly changed the topic. “Um, as this is a live broadcast, we didn’t manage to contact the planning team in advance. It seems the god-level planning team is held up in another project, possibly something related to dogs. We must have called at the wrong time.”

The host turned to Tian Hongqing. “Professor Tian, let us continue the topic we were discussing.”

Tian Hongqing: “Okay. The idea of using the headlights of the sports cars for the stage lighting was more than creative. Think about it. When the concert begins, a newcomer with no significant popularity stands on the stage. What is the most important thing at this moment?”

Host: “What is it? I can’t think of anything.”

Tian Hongqing: “The most important thing is a ‘shocking debut’! A newcomer who came from nowhere, standing on the stage. The most important thing is to make a shocking debut. In that way, she will get the audience’s undivided attention. The sports cars worth 30 million were able to fulfill this perfectly!”

Host: “Aye, now that you have mentioned, it’s indeed so! This planning team is amazing!”

Tian Hongqing: “Yes. In the beginning, there were only ten cranes in the stadium and a stage with no lighting at all. Didn’t it seem strange for a concert? In an instant, it caught the attention of the audience. The audience must have wondered what was going on. Curiosity leads to expectation. Right at this moment, forty sports cars worth 30 million appeared and caused a commotion. The audience was shocked, hearts thumping and screaming. The atmosphere changed at once. What is the most important thing in a concert? The atmosphere of course!”

Host: “Yes, that’s right. With such a lively atmosphere, everyone naturally looked forward to the concert.”

Tian Hongqing: “At this moment, there is popularity—thirty to forty thousand people, there is atmosphere—the screams that came with forty sports cars. The audience would definitely start to wonder, who could have thought of such an idea, right? With a stroke of genius, the god-level planning arranged for Miss Li Nianwei to appear on the stage alone!”

Host: “Oh. I’ve watched this part of the video many times, but I just could not tell where the “god-level” part is.

Tian Hongqing: “Think about it, the surroundings were lit, the sports cars had driven in, right? But there was only darkness on the stage. And a person had emerged from the dark. This black and white contrast produced a strong visual shock. The audience was completely drawn to Miss Li Nianwei but at the same time curious about the purpose of those sports cars.”

Host: “Yes, that’s exactly how it is. When I saw the video for the first time, I was beyond curious at that point.”

Tian Hongqing: “That’s right! The forty sports cars were in their positions, and turned on their headlights all at once, shining upon Miss Li Nianwei. Think about how shocked everyone would be. I’m not sure about others, but I almost slumped on the floor when I saw this scene. It was simply too amazing! From that moment on, I had become a loyal supporter of the god-level planning team!”

Host: “Yes, yes. I’m still deeply shocked by that scene. It was unbelievable.”

Tian Hongqing: “Two Soaring Angels as the lead, with Prayer Angels as the supporting lights. The scene of the sports cars being suspended in the air by the cranes was jaw-dropping. It was definitely an unforgettable scene to the audience at the stadium.”

Host: “Not just the audience at the stadium. I could still remember the scene clearly.”

Tian Hongqing: “There is another advantage, and I’m certain you have not thought of it.”

Host: “Oh, what advantage? Do continue.”

Tian Hongqing: “Such lightings would be quite cost-saving. The forty sports cards must have been borrowed from friends of the planning team. The team did not have to spend a cent on the concert lightings.”

Host: “Now that you have mentioned, I’m truly enlightened!”

Tian Hongqing: “Yes, I’m full of admiration for the god-level planning team. From then on, there was no doubt about Miss Li Nianwei’s popularity. Within days, Miss Li Nianwei’s worth rocketed up. From what I know, at least twenty companies were wishing to work with Miss Li Nianwei. And the endorsement fees would not be less than five million yuan. But it seems Miss Li Nianwei has no time to accept these endorsement deals. I estimate her current worth to be about 20 million yuan.”

Host: “Twenty million yuan! Oh my god, that should be the same as the net worth of a top star, right?”

Tian Hongqing: “Yes. Definitely at the top. And still rising. How much do you think this almost-perfect, textbook-material planning cost?”

Host: “How much?”

Tian Hongqing: “The free-spending at Ye Lai Xiang, 500 thousand yuan. The stage building, 500 thousand yuan. Acoustics, 500 thousand yuan. Promotion fee, 500 thousand yuan. Lighting, free. With two million yuan, the planning team made a superstar overnight, whose net worth continues to rise as we speak. To be able to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another, this style of planning is definitely textbook-material. This concert is sure to appear in the history of concert planning. This god-level planning is sure to be a hit.”

Host: “Yes, yes. It must be so! Okay, now, let us contact the leader of the planning team again to ask him how he came up with such a fabulous idea.”

The phone got through almost instantly. Host: “Hello, I’m the host for Tianjing Variety Channel, Wang Yong. May I know if Mr. Hong’s latest planning has ended?”

This time, Hong Dali did not end the call. “I’m done with the dogs. What is it?”

Host: “We would like to ask Mr. Hong, with regards to Miss Li Nianwei’s concert, where did you get your inspiration from?”

Hong Dali: “Oh, you’re asking about the concert. There was no plan.”

Host: “How could there be no planning for such a perfect concert? Um, in that case, may I know your initial reason for holding this concert?”

Hong Dali replied naturally, “No reason, I just wanted to squander.”
