Chu Tian returned to the studio and simply mentioned that the items had been delivered, without offering further details.

Regarding the concert tickets, they were using e-tickets, so there were no physical ones. Sending a few strings of numbers was sufficient, so naturally, physical delivery was unnecessary.

"Chu Tian? Could you come here for a moment?"

"Oh, sure."

Chu Tian, who was watching Xu Qingqiu practice her dancing, was suddenly called over by Sister Hua.

As the concert drew nearer, the list of things to prepare grew longer, and Chu Tian played a significant role in this. This wasn't the first or second time Sister Hua had sought him out, so Xu Qingqiu didn't think anything of it.

"What's up, Sister Hua? Is there a problem somewhere?"

"No, I just wanted to ask you: I've allocated five minutes for you. Do you think that's enough?"

"That's plenty. Thanks, Sister Hua."

"No problem. How are your preparations coming along? Do you need a rehearsal?"

"No need. I'll practice on my own later. Is everything sorted with the stage production?"

"All sorted, just as you instructed."

"Great. Thanks for your hard work, Sister Hua."

"Come on, no need for formalities. Just help me out when the time comes."

"No problem. I'll be waiting backstage. If you need anything, just find me."

Li Chunhua smiled, patted his shoulder contentedly, and left.

What he didn't know was that just before he returned, Li Chunhua had done the same to Xu Qingqiu.

Hmph, so you two are in sync, are you? Well, let's see you sync up a bit more then.

「In the blink of an eye, the day of the concert arrived.」

The entire studio, from top to bottom, was bustling with activity. The air was thick with urgent calls: "Where is the music director? Has the music director arrived yet?" "The truck? Which truck? The one hauling equipment? Wasn't it moved to the north parking lot yesterday? Call him, tell him to move it now!" "Has the entire stage production team arrived? Hurry and test the equipment. The rehearsal is about to start!" "Hey, you over there! The worker with the blue badge! That's a stand pass; this is backstage. You can't come in!" "Security, pay attention! What level of pass allows entry to which area? Be vigilant! If anything goes wrong, none of us will be able to answer for it!"

A concert is no small undertaking. First, the scale and venue must be determined, then design plans drawn up, followed by an application for approval. Only after approval could the official procedures begin. This involved a series of tasks to be handled, including registration, paperwork, fire safety protocols, security arrangements, medical support, contingency plans, quality control, and more.

Safety and security were distinct. The police were responsible for safety, primarily ensuring the well-being of the audience. Security, on the other hand, was about maintaining order and protecting the artists and the venue itself.

Layout plans were drawn up very early on and had to be reviewed multiple times. Any parts deemed unsuitable required numerous revisions. Even details such as where specific vehicles were parked, the designated areas for personnel activity, and the timing of these activities were strictly regulated.

For example, stage construction typically began a week in advance, and equipment was brought in two to three days prior to the event. Staff assigned to spectator areas were prohibited from entering backstage, equipment zones, and other restricted sections. Installation staff were required to leave the venue before the day of the concert. Only maintenance personnel were permitted entry on the concert day itself.

In short, the process was incredibly complex. Though many tasks might have seemed trivial, they were, in fact, lessons learned from bitter experience.

Why weren't staff allowed to move around freely? In a venue accommodating tens of thousands, someone bringing in unidentifiable items, familiarizing themselves with the layout, and potentially planting something in a hidden location posed a significant security risk.

And why was there a specific day for worker departure? Because after everything was installed and the workers had left, special police units and sniffer dogs would conduct a final sweep to ensure no dangerous items remained.

These measures effectively eliminated the vast majority of potential security threats or incidents. Indeed, for any concert or large-scale event, countless unsung individuals perform a vast amount of unseen work to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Chu Tian was currently with the band, adjusting instruments to ensure there would be no issues during the performance.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingqiu was busy trying on various outfits for the concert.

"Okay, this one is good."

"This next one, number 3, is a bit complex. Get ready. While I'm on stage, have it laid out in advance. As soon as I come off, you need to help me into it immediately. Let's practice this. It absolutely must go smoothly, understand?"

"Don't zip it up. When preparing the clothes, make sure all zippers are already open. Don't worry about the clothes I take off; just put them all into that bin over there. We'll sort them out later, got it?"

Several assistants were at their first concert, so they were unaware of many procedures and still needed detailed instructions from the more experienced staff.

"Safety pins, dressmaker pins, large safety pins—all these items should be prepared and placed on the makeup table, ensuring they're within easy reach."

"I'll say this again: prepare two to three sets of all these small tools. If we don't have enough now, go buy more immediately. It's better to have too many than to be caught short when we need them."

"Label and categorize everything. When items are taken out, no one is allowed to misplace them. They must be returned to their designated area, according to category and label. Anyone who messes this up will be told to pack up and leave immediately. Is that clear?"

A concert is no different from any other large-scale event; it involves many intricate aspects, and every single part is crucial. This is where experience truly matters.

As daylight faded and evening approached, the flurry of preparations finally began to subside.

The sound from the stage speakers had been almost continuous. Xu Qingqiu and the guest performers had finished their rehearsals. Now it was the music team's turn to cut loose, and all sorts of exhilarating, high-energy music reverberated throughout the arena.
