September 20th.

Today is the day for the Strawberry Music Festival.

Leng Hongning got up early in the morning and put on beautiful makeup, wore a refreshing T-shirt and shorts, and walked out with a waterproof shoulder bag.

I’m going to jump up today, and there will be a water splashing process. Wouldn’t you suffer in a dress and high heels?

In fact, Leng Hongning didn't plan to watch this Strawberry Music Festival.

But after watching the band "Stubborn" last week, she was conquered by this nice song and this energetic young band. She was very eager to watch a band's live performance!

Coincidentally, the day after seeing the video of "Stubborn", she browsed the poster of this Strawberry Music Festival on Weibo.

On the poster, it is brightly written that this Strawberry Music Festival will have a stage debut with a band that will be open!

In addition, under the poster, avatars of the five people in the non-closing band were added, but the photo seemed to be cut from a 2-inch head photo. Compared with other cool material photos of independent bands and musicians, it is a bit inconsistent...

But this doesn't matter!

Importantly, the non-closing band will debut at the Strawberry Festival a week later!

Moreover, the venue of this Strawberry Music Festival is in Cantonese, and Leng Hongning happens to be from Cantonese, which is really a coincidence!

Leng Hongning immediately opened the ticketing website on the spot and wanted to buy a ticket to the Strawberry Music Festival.

However, online tickets have long been sold out.

The largest music festival in China, like the Strawberry Music Festival, usually sells out tickets one month before the opening, and is now impossible to buy.

Fortunately, Leng Hongning refused to give up and consulted with a few friends who had participated in music festivals and got good news.

At the opening of the music festival, you can also buy tickets to enter the venue, which means the price of tickets is twice as expensive as when you buy them online. Right, the scalper tickets...

Even so, Leng Hongning decided to buy it!

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, she took the subway to the hosting point of this Strawberry Music Festival, Tianlan Park.

“It’s so lively….”

As soon as he came out of the subway entrance, Leng Hongning saw a dense crowd of people lined up in an orderly manner outside Tianlan Park across the street.

At a rough look, there will be at least four or five thousand people. It is estimated that by 10 o'clock, there will be at least ten or twenty thousand spectators entering the venue.

This is Leng Hongning participating in a music festival for the first time and is very novel about all this.

She followed the crowd and walked towards the ticket station at the entrance of the park.

Before she could walk a few steps, she saw several scalpers standing next to the crowd, waving the tickets in her hands to hawk the sale.

"Tickets for Strawberry Music Festival! Normal tickets 480! Pro tickets 600! There is not much inventory on hand, and it will be gone after selling it!"

Leng Hongning smacked her tongue slightly. The price was almost doubled compared to the original price. If you buy it on the official website, a scalper made 200 yuan if you only get an ordinary ticket for 280 yuan.

But I have come here, no matter how expensive it is, I have to buy it. I can't be stopped outside the park to listen to the performance...

Leng Hongning tried hard to squeeze out of the crowd, ran to the scalper, and said happily: "Give me a regular ticket."

The scalper smiled, took out a piece of the ticket from the stack of tickets and handed it to Leng Hongning, and took out a QR code card.

Leng Hongning quickly scanned the QR code to pay the post-480s. He looked at it a few times and said with some uncertainty: "It's not a fake ticket, right?"

"Impossible! We are all honest transactions, absolutely fidelity. If there is any problem, call the police. Anyway, you have my Alipay account." The scalper said confidently.

Professional scalpers in this industry still have basic moral qualities. Although they are a little bit unscrupulous and tickets are expensive, they can still be authentic.

"Okay." Leng Hongning grabbed the ticket and turned around and lined up to check the tickets again.

.............

On the other hand, just as Leng Hongning was queuing up to check tickets, the band members who were not closed also took a Rainbow Plan to pick them up at the entrance of Tianhai Conservatory of Music.

The five people carried a small backpack and got into the car, and they were light and simple.

Their instruments were transported to the festival yesterday with the help of staff.

The stage performance of the Strawberry Music Festival starts from 1:00 pm and sings for eight hours until 9:00 pm.

However, the performers must not enter the stage only after the performance begins, especially the stage time of the band is still early, and 2:30 pm is their performance time. The show is between two groups of well-known independent musicians, which is considered a warm-up garbage time.

In fact, the performance time of the Fire Truck Band was originally 20 minutes, and it was not a show time, but a main stage performance from 14:20 to 14:40.

But who told them not to come? The Rainbow Plan could only urgently adjust the performance process and negotiated with several other groups of guests, asking them to add one or two performance songs, and then let the band stay open to save the scene.

After re-adjusting the performance process, Ye Weiyang and the others came in and only had a ten-minute performance time.

It is commonly known as the hot-season contestant. Generally, this kind of time is for the audience who want to listen to the next group of performing guests to go to the bathroom, prepare, and grab a front position in the main square...

This arrangement is normal.

After all, although the band suddenly became popular on the Internet because of the song "Stubborn", the popularity actually dissipated very quickly. A week later, "Stubborn" has long disappeared on the Internet and has been replaced by other new Internet celebrities.

Although everyone has a deep impression of the song "Stubborn", the band is no longer the public's attention.

Moreover, the band is well-known for this song without closing, and the Rainbow Plan cannot arrange a 20-minute formal performance time for them. If they give them 20 minutes, they can't fill in this time.

The time for two songs in eight minutes is just right.

The members of the non-closing band themselves also think this arrangement is quite suitable.

And everyone was feeling a little excited.

Who says that garbage time cannot get dry?

As long as there is a performance opportunity, the band will have confidence and ignite all the enthusiasm of the audience!

They were reluctant to leave the scene and go to the toilet, and there was no urine spot throughout the whole process!

With such a mood, the band members boarded the bus and slowly drove towards Tianlan Park.

At 11:00 a.m., just as the audience was still checking tickets to enter the venue, Ye Weiyang and others had already entered Tianlan Park through the entrance of the internal staff.

"Wow, the stage is so big!" Jing Bo'an shouted excitedly at the one main, two deputy and three stages in the park square in the distance.

Tianlan Park is the largest park in Canton. It can accommodate 200,000 tourists at the same time. It attracts multiple music festivals to hold events here every year.

Just as Ye Weiyang and others were looking around at the surrounding stage environment, several staff members came up and said with a smile on their faces: "Are you the band that will not close tonight?"
Chapter completed!
