Just two days before the opening of Black Swan Club, some turbulence occurred in the little entertainment circle.
Lin Gengxin, Li Yifeng, and Angelababy, who are close with Principal Wang, all called on fans in the Capital City to show support for Black Swan Club via Weibo.
And on Gu Bai's side, there was even more action.
Several star mentors from Creation Camp 111, desperate to establish a good relationship with Gu Bai, enthusiastically promised to promote the club after Gu Bai "casually" mentioned it.
In no time, close to ten top celebrities from the entertainment industry were endorsing Black Swan Club. Many others who were unaware of the situation also started looking into what Black Swan Club was all about.
When they found out that Gu Bai was the biggest shareholder of Black Swan Club, they were filled with envy.
After all, in the entertainment industry, even top stars face the risk of losing their status, and the resources for top stars are extremely limited. Which of them isn't fighting tooth and nail for those resources?
The two largest shareholders of Black Swan Club are Gu Bai and Principal Wang. One is already a major capital power in the entertainment industry, and the other is the heir to Wanda Film and Television. Even a tiny bit of resources from either of them is more than enough, so these ten or so stars naturally envy those who can court favor with Gu Bai and Principal Wang.
However, considering their status, if Gu Bai didn't invite them, they wouldn't lower themselves to promote for him. But lower-tier celebrities wouldn't worry about such things and actively promoted Black Swan Club in hopes of gaining Gu Bai's favor. Just catching the attention of such a big shot could brighten their career path immensely.
The first weekend after the Lunar New Year.
Most young people hadn't yet adjusted to the high-pressure work environment, so they gathered with friends to relax, making nightclubs a popular choice.
A bit past 7 PM, after several days of promotion, news of Black Swan Club's opening night had spread throughout every corner of the Capital City. Nearly every young person was aware of it to some extent.
"Have you heard? Black Swan Club is opening tonight, claiming to be the top CLUB in all of Asia. Hey, should we check it out since tomorrow's the weekend?"
At an internet company, some young people began chatting right after finishing work.
"Forget about it, I've known for days. But if you want to go tonight, don't count on it. Better wait until it's open regularly."
"Why?"
The man turned his head to look at his colleague with confusion and said, "You can't be unaware that more than ten top celebrities are endorsing Black Swan Club tonight, right? Use your head; just Zhang Yixing with his massive fanbase could easily pack the place. You still want to go tonight, are you mad?"
"Damn? That's wild!"
"What did you expect? Plus, the nightclub anticipated this, and admission for the first three days is by ticket only. Each ticket was originally priced at 680 yuan but has been scalped online to over ten thousand."
"Who would waste that much money? A ticket for over ten thousand?"
"Believe it or not, it's true. But it's not just about the entry, after all, Principal Gu owns Black Swan Club, a big shot who can donate billions to charity. They wouldn't be stingy, would they? I saw on their official website that each ticket allows entrance for two additional friends and includes drinks worth 6800 yuan. Do you still think it's a rip-off at over ten thousand?
Not only can you see so many top stars up close, but you also get drinks worth 6800 yuan. It's a steal!"
"Damn... so aren't they losing a lot on drinks for the first few days?"
"Do you really think Principal Gu is hurting for a couple of bucks?"
"Then why didn't you grab a couple of tickets and flip them for a quick two grand?"
"You think I wouldn't if I could... The official site only sold 600 tickets, the rest were given away as prizes in celebrities' Weibo giveaways."
He finished with a heavy sigh.
Conversations like this were happening all over the Capital City. Some nightclub enthusiasts even traveled from other cities just to experience what was being touted as Asia's number one CLUB.
At the North Gate of the Workers' Stadium, where the old MIX Club was located, the place had completely transformed.
A building resembling a giant swan stood by the street, and as night fell, the neon lights encircling Black Swan Club began to flicker. A giant LED display on the swan's neck was looping messages of congratulations from various celebrities to Black Swan Club.
The surrounding area was already packed with young people waiting to get in because Black Swan Club was scheduled to open at 8 PM, and it was only 7:50. Despite the roads being blocked by eager patrons, dozens of security personnel staunchly guarded the entrance to the CLUB, not letting anyone in.
"This Black Swan Club is too much, only 10 minutes to go and thousands of us are waiting out here, yet they won't let us in?"
"We've already been waiting for an hour; another 10 minutes won't matter. Just hope that this so-called Asia's number one CLUB doesn't disappoint. Honestly, it does look the part from outside."
"I went to GREEN VALLEY in Brazil before, and that place, being the world's top nightclub, was truly impressive. Black Swan Club is claiming to be Asia's number one. I hope it meets at least half the standard of GREEN VALLEY. If it does, then I'm declaring Black Swan Club as my go-to nightclub from now on."
