029 Awards Backstage
Recommended songs: SS501--- Snow.Prince
When "Palace" first started filming, it was still the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and winter had already arrived in the blink of an eye. The first snow in Seoul came very early this year, and it was only the end of November, and there were already two light snowfalls. Li Zhunyi spent his nineteenth birthday in the busy life of the crew, accompanied by snowflakes fluttering in the sky, although no one celebrated, just received a call from Lin Xuan, but it was not bad. The air gradually began to dry out, and the low temperatures that permeated all corners made the shooting work even more difficult. Fortunately, fortunately, most of the scenes were carried out in the studio that was built, and most of the clothes worn were autumn and winter clothes, and there was no catastrophic filming of summer scenes in winter, which is good news for Lee Joon-yi, who is trying to film for the first time.
At the end of the year, the major award ceremonies have also kicked off, and for a while, all the performance venues and all corners of the news in the city have been occupied by the award ceremonies. There are too many music award ceremonies alone, the New Year's Eve Song War Awards Ceremony held by the three major TV stations, the award ceremony of MNet, the overlord of cable TV stations, plus the Golden Record, Seoul Song Awards, etc., as a day to summarize the year, the end of the year is always busy and happy for singers. If you add the acting awards and variety awards, the end of the year will become special for TV actors and movie actors, as well as TV show hosts and producers.
The crew, which was supposed to continue to catch up with the show, also got a three-day break because of the awards ceremony. Most of the crew members have done a lot of work in the past year, and the year-end awards ceremony is also a reward for them, such as director Huang Renlei was shortlisted for the award. In addition, the progress of the show has caught up, although there is still a week to go before the broadcast, the weight of the eight episodes has been filmed, and the ninth episode has also been filmed more than halfway, so the crew decided to take a three-day holiday to let everyone rest and rest. After the break, a new round of catching up is about to begin.
Leaving the crew who had been in the crew for a few months, Lee Joon-yi changed the subway three times and walked to the World Cup Stadium in Mapo, where there was a music awards ceremony today. As a trainee, there are always a lot of expectations for the stage and the big stage of the award ceremony, and with this opportunity today, Li Junyi will naturally not refuse. After filming for so long, in order to relax his tense spirit, Lee Joon-yi went to watch this year-end event with a relaxed attitude.
Walking out of the subway station and walking out with the surging crowds towards the station entrance, it takes almost no effort to find a venue for the award ceremony. Along the way, the road is lined with all kinds of vendors, and the food stalls prepared for the fans who come to line up early in the morning and can't eat are long and can't see the end. There are also hawkers who carry coolers with them and sell simple and convenient fast food such as gimbap, shuttling through the crowd. In addition, the most spectacular thing is the countless support items. Almost every group of singers has a corresponding supporter, from glow sticks, T-shirts, whistles, to notebooks, keychains and other souvenirs. Relying on high quality and low price, complete variety, it has gathered a lot of popularity. Of course, at the entrance of the stadium, there are also several stalls selling official support, which is more expensive here. However, there are still some loyal fans who will choose to buy the official version to show their support for their idols.
From time to time, you can see organized and disciplined official fans in the crowd, they will wear uniform clothes, or wear uniform logos, such as the fans who debuted TVXQ chose pink hats and Ts today, which are connected together, and the brakes are spectacular. Shuttling through the crowd of countless fans, you can feel everyone's overflowing excitement, and the end of the year is not only a festival for artists, but also a festival for fans and fans.
hung up the phone to Lin Xiyuan, and made an appointment to meet at Exit 32, Li Zhunyi fought his way through the dense crowd, and when he arrived at his destination, he found that Lin Xiyuan was already waiting there. Lin Xiyuan handed Li Zhunyi a staff sign to hang around his neck, and then the two of them walked directly to the stadium, causing the fans waiting in line to enter the stadium full of envy.
Walking into the infield, it is actually a huge football stadium, where the 02 Korea-Japan World Cup was held. Looking around, one side of the grandstand has been set up as a huge stage, extending to the center of the infield. The other three stands have been put up, and spectators can be seen entering the stadium one after another, filling up the seats one by one. Several seats are also arranged around the infield stage in accordance with the matrix, and it is estimated that the reporter area and VIP area are here, and of course, some lucky fans will also enter the infield.
The grandstand at the back of the stage has been reconfigured as the backstage it is today, and countless staff members can be seen running inside and out. Under the leadership of Lin Xiyuan, Li Zhunyi was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, greedily looking at the novel scenes around him.
Entering the backstage, the breath of the award ceremony immediately rushed to the face. The crew on stage is putting the finishing touches on the lighting and stage design, the camera crew is tweaking the cameras for the live broadcast, and the ubiquitous equipment and costumes fill the entire hall at the exit. In addition to the staff, the artists are the main component here. Walking down the hallway, there is a row of waiting rooms with the names of various artists pasted on them. The top artists of the big names use a separate room, while the newcomers and second- and third-tier singers share a room with several groups. The room includes the staff of the sofa group and the costume group, as well as the team of artists and agents. In addition to the artist's room, there is also a lounge for backstage staff such as dancers and singers. Everything seems noisy and compact.
"After the artists have finished combing for a while, they will go to the artists' seats on the stage to watch the live broadcast of the ceremony, just like what they see on TV. Lin Xiyuan introduced to Li Zhunyi, "In the first two or three programs of their performance sequence, there will be a special staff member in charge of the ceremony process to notify the artists to come backstage to change their costumes and prepare for the stage." ”
"Wow, if something goes wrong, it's not the end. Li Zhunyi sighed, just by listening, you can feel the complexity of an award ceremony, countless links are interlocking, only when each link is guaranteed, there will be a complete award ceremony on the live broadcast screen.
"So for the awards ceremony, there are almost five or six rehearsals, and at the end of each year, the singers become extremely busy. Lin Xiyuan said with a smile, "Especially the singers who performed well back then, and there will even be a rush to the scene, so it will be even more hurried." ”
Li Zhunyi is very clear about this, for example, the annual Spring Festival Gala in China, the program review and rehearsal are meticulous. One minute on stage, ten years off stage, this is applicable at any time.
After shopping backstage, Li Zhunyi and Lin Xiyuan came to the equipment area. Lin Xiyuan came in to help, and it can be regarded as learning some experience, after all, now that he is an agent, he still needs to learn a lot. This is also the reason why Lin Xiyuan has a work permit. Lin Xiyuan is in charge of helping to divide the microphone today, which is a very important job. The equipment area in front of me is full of all the audio equipment, there are several huge boxes of microphones alone, a box of infinite microphones is put in a box, the microphone and wire of the wired microphone are placed in different boxes, and there are dense microphone distribution sheets on the box, on the table next to the box and on the wall behind the box. Each microphone is labeled with a number to distinguish it, and each artist on the list has a microphone number after their name. Take the wrong microphone, maybe something big is wrong.
At the earliest, the microphones were all mixed, and when you got it, you just went straight to the stage. However, since the lip-syncing, the choice of microphone has also been learned.
For example, if two people are on stage at the same time, A is lip-syncing and B is singing live, then the voice console corresponding to the microphone should turn off the sound of microphone A and start recording, and the sound of microphone B should be turned on and the accompaniment should be turned on.
For another example, a song has a lead singer, a sub-lead singer and a supporting part, the lead singer's microphone is naturally the loudest, and the other voices are smaller, or need to add effects, which is also to distinguish the microphone.
Also, some people are used to bringing headsets, and some people, for example, who read rap, are only used to holding microphones.
In addition, when a group sings a song, it is necessary to assign parts, and the microphone volume and sound effects of different parts are also different.
In order to prevent A from taking the microphone by mistake and causing lip-sync errors, and also to prevent the microphone from making mistakes and causing errors in the sound console and making jokes, the number is marked on the microphone, and then the allocation list of artists is also made to prevent mistakes. For a large-scale awards ceremony like this, there are basically more than 15 microphones on the audio console, which is why sound control is also a very important job. Nowadays, the trend of singers in Korea is a large number of combinations, which makes it very easy to make mistakes. Therefore, Lin Xiyuan's work today is very important.
After listening to Lin Xiyuan's explanation of the content and nature of the work, Li Zhunyi obediently sat next to him. It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's that he's a foreigner, and if he hears the numbers wrong, or the singer's name is confused, and the microphone is wrong, it's a big disaster. So he sat honestly next to him, and it was lucky not to make trouble.
Not long after I sat down, the artists at the beginning of the show came to get the microphones, and the performers from the previous shows also came to confirm the order of the microphones, so as not to make mistakes later.
"Zhun Yi ......" Just as Li Zhun Yi was looking around, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name.
When I looked back, I saw a group of more than a dozen people in front of me confirming the number of microphones. Almost all of these dozen people know Lee Joon-yi, and they are none other than S.M's latest boy group, Super.Junior. Lee Joon-yi was also selected for the final lineup, but he was not selected because of Kim Jin-hyun. And at this moment, the one who called for himself was the only Chinese member of the group, Han Geng.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Li Zhun Yi showed a wry smile. If it weren't for Kim Jin-hyun's accident, he would have been in this group, but no one can know whether this speculation is correct or not.
Li Zhunyi suppressed the surprise in his mind, and greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see." ”
The second more is delivered.
