Chapter 164: Background Music
Nearly two weeks of vacation, of course, it is not Mr. Cui, the head teacher, who can grant leave if he says that he can take leave, at least he must get the consent of the leaders of their second-level colleges. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Teacher Cui dared to say to Xiao Yao so sure that he was on leave, because Teacher Cui had been a teacher in Shenju for a long time, according to her understanding of the leaders of the college, based on Xiao Yao's learning situation and reasons for leave, the leaders of the college would definitely not approve Xiao Yao's leave. After talking to Xiao Yao, Mr. Cui immediately reported Xiao Yao's leave application to the leaders of the college, and the leaders agreed to Xiao Yao's leave as Mr. Cui expected.
After taking a leave of absence from school, Xiao Yao came to Yin Xi's studio again in the afternoon and devoted himself to the preparation of the press conference.
Xiao Yao first came to the site of the press conference. The staff of the planning company has already organized the construction manpower, prepared all kinds of required equipment and materials, and waited for Xiao Yao to come over to guide the start of construction. After Xiao Yao arrived at the scene, the construction person in charge of the planning company immediately came over and listened to his detailed explanation of the layout requirements of the site.
The catwalk is naturally indispensable for the catwalk, but the aisle of the fashion model catwalk designed by Xiao Yao is not the usual standard T-shape, but is spliced by an oval and a circular stage. In fact, "catwalk" is just a name in Chinese, and its English is not "T-stage" but "runway" or "catwalk", at least literally, Xiao Yao didn't think it necessarily had to be T-shaped.
In addition to modifying the shape of the catwalk, Xiao Yao also asked to change the floor of the catwalk from the transparent glass with lights installed below to a display screen, and the same as the background wall behind the catwalk, but also required the use of seamless splicing to make it look like a whole piece.
The shape of the catwalk has been changed, and the seating position of the audience also needs to be changed accordingly, and the two neat square-shaped audience seats on both sides of the vertical aisle of the catwalk have also been changed into an arc-shaped arrangement, and at the same time, in order to ensure the sight of the audience, the front and rear rows of these audience seats are still arranged in turn like stairs.
Lighting equipment is also indispensable, in addition to the original installation on the bracket slide rails of a variety of large and small spotlights that can control the projection direction and color, Xiao Yao also additionally required to install several projection equipment that can control the projection direction on the bracket slide rail.
As for the audio equipment, there are basically no special requirements, just install it in the location and method they originally chose. Although Xiao Yao has participated in several Eva shows, he doesn't plan to have a singer guest perform or anything during the model catwalk of his brand conference.
However, even if the layout and installation of audio equipment are not changed, only the changes to the catwalk, auditorium, background wall and lighting equipment are also a big project. Xiao Yao explained to the person in charge of the on-site construction of the planning company for nearly two hours, so that the person in charge clearly understood all of Xiao Yao's requirements.
The planning company invited by Yin Xi is still very professional and powerful, and after understanding all Xiao Yao's requirements, the person in charge immediately said that the press conference site could be arranged according to Xiao Yao's requirements within four days. In this way, the entire press conference can be rehearsed for a day and a half, which can be regarded as loose enough for Xiao Yao, who plans to manually control the lighting and projection at the press conference to match the models on the catwalk and the background pictures displayed on the catwalk floor and background wall.
After the on-site layout requirements of the press conference are explained, the on-site construction can be handed over to the person in charge of the planning company, Xiao Yao only needs to check the construction progress at a fixed point in the next few days, and does not have to stay on site to supervise the work.
Coming out of the press conference, Xiao Yao met Fang Yi.
"Why are you here?, have you done everything Sister Xi gave you?" Xiao Yao asked Fang Yi.
Although Yin Xi is responsible for inviting the celebrity guests who come to the press conference to cheer for the conference, some of the celebrities she plans to invite are close to Xiao Yao or may agree to come for the sake of Xiao Yao's face, so she wants to borrow Xiao Yao's agent Fang Yi, and Fang still comes forward to contact those stars related to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao has no performance business to contact during this time, and it is enough for the assistant to have Pei Minyi alone, and he still has no opinion on Yin Xi's borrowing party. This brand has done a good job, and it will also be of considerable help to Xiao Yao's acting career, which can also be regarded as a matter within the scope of Fang Yao's agent's responsibility, and Fang still has no opinion. Therefore, in the past few days, Pei Minyi has followed Xiao Yao, and Fang is still doing the work of contact and communication according to Yin Xi's requirements.
"That's it. Fang still smiled and nodded, "The list that Miss Yin handed over to me is all people who have a very good relationship with you, and I heard that you and Miss Yin are working together to develop a personal brand and a development conference, so they are very interested." It didn't take much for me to settle them all down. β
"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "It just so happens that I have something to do with you here, and I'm about to call you to ask how the matter at hand is going." β
"What's the matter?" Fang still said.
"The background music of the press conference," Xiao Yao said, "I plan to use original songs as the background music of the press conference." These songs are not suitable for me to sing by myself, I need you to help me contact the singer to sing. β
"Is it a recording or a performance?" Fang still said, "Do you want to invite some singers to perform on the same stage as the Eva Show?"
Fang still only heard from Yin Xi that Xiao Yao took over the entire planning and design of the press conference, but he had never read Xiao Yao's fashion show planning book. In her mind, Xiao Yao wants to play tricks at the press conference, and most of them will learn from the Eva Show to have a good singer and model perform on the same stage, after all, Xiao Yao has participated in the Eva Show several times, and there are many singers and stars with good relationships. It's no problem to have a press conference like the Eva show.
"Recording, not performance!" Xiao Yao said, "I didn't plan to let the singer perform live, not even a live band." The live scene is only played through the sound of the background music, so it needs to be recorded in advance. β
"Okay, who are you looking for?" Fang still nodded.
"In addition to the singers, the recording also requires a backing band. Xiao Yao said, "There are a lot of musicians and singers of various musical instruments, so I'm afraid you won't be able to remember it." You come with me to the office and I'll make you a list. β
With that, Xiao Yao took the lead and walked towards the design room, preparing to go to the office where he had stayed all night yesterday. I have to say that that office still makes Xiao Yao quite comfortable.
"Wait," Fang still followed Xiao Yao for two steps, and suddenly stopped Xiao Yaodao.
"Huh?" Xiao Yao looked back in confusion.
"I forgot to tell you something. Fang still said, "Miss Yin asked me to tell you, saying that your teacher has arrived, and he is in the studio, and asks if you want to go and have a look?"
"Teacher, studio?" Xiao Yao thought for a moment, and then understood, "She's talking about Chen Xuan, right? He should be taking promotional photos for the models in the studio now." I've been watching him take pictures for many years, and now my photography skills and realm can't be improved by watching him take pictures on the spot. Now I have something at hand, so let's go over it for now, and I'll talk about it when I'm free in the evening. β
"You can go and have a look," Xiao Yao turned to Pei Minyi and said, "I'm going to the office now to write out the songs with background music after I finish making a list, and I won't need you to help me run errands." The shooting scene of the top international photographer is not always visible, and you, the makeup artist, will also gain from it. Just remember that when you get dinner, just bring me dinner. β
"Really, then I'm really going!" Pei Minyi said happily.
Pei Minyi, a makeup artist, knows a lot about the fashion industry and knows the famous French photographer Thière Chan, so of course she can't wait to see his shooting scene with her own eyes.
Xiao Yao prepared four songs as background music for this press conference, all of which were taken from his previous life. They are "AlmostLover" by Jasmine Thompson, "BleedingLove" by Leona Lewis, "One Man" by Huang Lingkai and "Vincent" by Don Mclean. Among the four songs, there are three English songs and one Chinese song, which not only reflects that the target market targeted by this brand is an international high-end atmosphere, but also shows the essence of this brand as a Chinese brand.
Xiao Yao did not plan to change the gender of the singer in these four songs. Only DonMclean's "Vincent" is a song by a male singer, Xiao Yao is ready to sing it himself, and the other three songs of female singers in his previous life, Xiao Yao has to find other female singers in this world to cooperate.
The singers Xiao Yao works with, the first choice must be his own people. And what can be called his own person is, of course, the contracted singer of Qijia Studio.
The female singers under Qijia Studio are in addition to Ye Jiaying, who released a music album more than ten years ago, that is, Fan Linxuan and Gong Chen. For more than a year, Xiao Yao has been cooperating with Gong Chen, and since he has cooperated with Gong Chen, Xiao Yao has not helped Fan Linxuan write a song for more than a year, and many fans of Fan Linxuan on the Internet have begun to complain that Xiao Yao has forgotten their Fan Fan with Gong Chen, and even some of Xiao Yao's own fan "pills" have followed Fan Linxuan's "bells" to complain about Xiao Yao's "liking the new and hating the old".
Fang Yi, who was paying attention to Xiao Yao's Internet dynamics, had also told Xiao Yao about this kind of fan remarks, although Xiao Yao just laughed after listening to it at the time, and it was a boring ridicule of fans, and he didn't take it too seriously. But now LeonaLewis's "BleedingLove" is more suitable for Fan Linxuan, and Xiao Yao is ready to find Fan Linxuan to record this song. After the press conference, the song was officially released, just to plug the mouths of those "pills" and "bells" who scolded themselves for "liking the new and hating the old".
Huang Lingkai's "One Person" is a song with a bit of rock flavor. When it comes to female singers who sing rock and roll, Gong Chen, another female singer from Qijia Studio, is obviously not considered, Xiao Yao's first choice is naturally Xu Yuan, who had a cooperation last year and has a very good relationship.
"Who is this Tang Jingjing?" Fang still saw the three singers written by Xiao Yao, and asked Xiao Yao suspiciously. Fan Linxuan and Xu Yuan, Fang is still very familiar, but the name Xiao Yao wrote the third one, but Fang still has never even heard of it.
Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The contestant of the third season of Shonan Satellite TV's "Huaxia New Voice Generation". If you don't know it, you can look for the video of this show. If you don't know how to contact her, you can ask the program team of "Huaxia New Voice Generation" for her contact information through Wang Yuan, director of the variety show department of Xiangnan Satellite TV, and the program team must know how to contact her. β
"Isn't that a children's music talent show?" The Tang Jingjing you're looking for is a child?" Fang was still surprised.
"Yes," Xiao Yao laughed, "she's a twelve-year-old... Oh no, it's supposed to be thirteen by now, thirteen-year-old little girl, and the voice is amazing!"
Jasmine Thompson, who was in his previous life, was not yet thirteen years old when he released the album "BundleOfTantrums" that included the song "AlmostLover", and Xiao Yao didn't know anyone else who was a good candidate like this, so he remembered a young contestant in a children's music talent show that he occasionally saw on video sites.
Although this Tang Jingjing is young, her voice is very distinctive, her singing skills are also very good, and the emotional expression ability she showed when singing songs in that show is also shocking, and she is better than Jasmine Thompson, who became popular in her previous life because of her cover on "YouTube". As long as she is good at spoken English, she will have absolutely no problem singing this song "AlmostLover". Of course, even if she has a problem with her spoken language, Xiao Yao will help her take down this song. Anyway, it wasn't a live performance, Xiao Yao had enough patience to correct her pronunciation little by little. The only problem that worries Xiao Yao is that a little girl who is so young, and when she is in school, will her parents let her come.
However, Xiao Yao's worry is obviously unnecessary. After participating in "The New Voice Generation of China", Tang Jingjing also participated in the "Mai Card Children's Music Festival" and the National Day Art Show held by Xiangnan Satellite TV, and also participated in the variety show of Xiangnan Satellite TV.
In the list of nominees for the "Kingdee Awards" released at the end of February this year, although Xiao Yao was not eligible to compete for the New Human Award this year, and he did not release an album throughout the year, he also won several awards such as Best Lyrics, Best Composition, Best Song Producer, Best Folk Song, Best Rock Song, Best Electronic Song, and Best Song of the Year. The number of nominations he received at the "Golden Disc Awards" this year is a little less than last year, but it is also surprising that he has received such a large number of nominations for the award two years in a row. After the list of nominees for this year's "Golden Disc Award" was released, it also further confirmed his title as a "musical genius".
Now how many big-name first-line singers in China are eager to sing his original music works when they are invited by Xiao Yao, not to mention Tang Jingjing, a child singer who is only a little famous? Therefore, when Fang still contacted Tang Jingjing's parents through Xiangnan Satellite TV, and explained to them that when Xiao Yao invited Tang Jingjing to sing his music works, both Tang Jingjing's parents and Tang Jingjing herself were extremely excited and happy.
"If you want to go to Shencheng to record? No problem, we will ask the school for leave immediately! Come to Shencheng tomorrow! Do you want to sing English songs? No problem, our family Jingjing's English is good, if necessary, we can also find a teacher to practice her speaking intensively." Tang Jingjing's mother happily said the other party on the phone.
