For the second album, the Black Hole band still adhered to the old-fashioned recording tradition, which was to go into the studio and record together.

The advantage of this is that it will make the recorded audio more live and sound more enjoyable, but the disadvantage is that it is extremely labor-intensive, and if you make a mistake in any place, you have to start again, and the post-production tuning is very troublesome.

Now is not the era of recording with a tape recorder in the past, and it is a big deal to record a few more times, that is, to delay a little effort.

However, for the third album this time, Black Hole still chose to record separately.

There are too many things in the variety show, and the company has little experience, and the connection with HN TV is not smooth, so Cao Wu has to go over to coordinate in person.

He also doesn't know anything about variety show recording, but fortunately, he knows what is right and can point out the direction to the director.

Batu and the others stayed in the company to record the accompaniment, and Cao Wu asked Wang Dian to replace him and help him record the guitar part, and then return to the company to record the part after he was done.

HN was very tight on time, only giving a two-and-a-half-month preparation cycle, and it would be broadcast after the New Year, so it was very tense in all aspects.

In the conference room, all the main creators of the program team have been meeting for two consecutive days, and the overall program has gradually been straightened out.

He Hongbo, the chief director of the program, is a senior program producer in Taiwan, and has created well-known programs such as "Music Continues" and "Dancing the World".

On the night he got the plan, he didn't sleep all night and read the plan from beginning to end several times.

He has been struggling to find the direction of transformation and breakthrough, and he was drunk by this planning case called "Singer", and he was enlightened.

Over the years, many TV stations, including HN, have been stuck in the quagmire of talent shows, wandering around like headless flies, looking at the declining ratings.

The audience is tired of watching the competition of various ordinary singers on TV, even if some programs deliberately find some people with incomplete tones to fill up the number indiscriminately and create the effect of the program, it can only play a certain role in attracting attention, and cannot reverse the weak development of music variety shows.

However, He Hongbo finally jumped out of the Three Realms today and saw a new breakthrough direction.

Invite the singers who have become famous, compete like contestants, the audience is the judge, and winning or losing depends on the strength of the hard match, which is full of highlights!

During the two-day meeting, the overall framework of the program group has basically been determined.

The chief planner is suspended by both HN and Xinghai Culture, and is served by Deputy Director Liu and Niu Li.

The chief director is He Hongbo, and Cao Wu plays the role of producer.

Because the Xinghai Culture Variety Show Department was only formed, most of the members did not have much experience, so the director team was still formed by HN station personnel, and only Lang Hui was allowed to join the group in the name of cooperating with the work, and the rest were arranged into the screenwriting team and production team.

The early camera, exterior shooting, modeling, tuning, and dance are all in charge of the station, while the beauty, makeup, costumes, and Taoism are jointly responsible for both parties.

After the meeting, the two sides began to prepare non-stop.

Fortunately, when the Grand Theater was built, the professional designers of Mingdao Lighting were invited to design the stage lighting, using the top stage lighting system.

The key to this program is to provide top-notch music enjoyment with top-level equipment, and Xinghai has contacted the French L-Acoustics audio company to design the sound for the Grand Theater. Because I had to meet the deadline, I spent a lot of money.

The company also ordered four mixers from Digico in the United Kingdom, one live PA, one stage monitor, one recording and broadcasting, and one multi-track recording.

Although it can also be borrowed from the TV station, Niu Li still asks to buy a new one, and she wants to build the Grand Theater into the best music stage in China.

If "Singer" can become popular this time, Xinghai Conservatory of Music can also take off.

Not to mention anything else, at least there is this level of relationship, and the children in the music engineering department of the college have a job after graduation.

Someone is worried about these things, Cao Wu and Director He Hongbo are running around the country at the moment, busy inviting singers.

In the plan, they listed more than 100 singers and bands, including almost all of the top people in the music industry.

It doesn't matter if it's outdated or not.

"I think about it. ”

This is the sentence that Cao Wu and Director He have heard the most these days.

The two of them, who had dry mouths, drank the tea dry, and got up to say goodbye.

They have already visited more than a dozen well-known singers, but none of them have expressed interest.

Cao Wu can understand them, if it weren't for knowing in advance that this show was so popular, and he also received a similar invitation, he would have been worried.

They choose singers who are famous in the circle, and there is generally no shortage of announcements, so they can participate in a show casually, be a judge, guide, and easily earn him tens of millions It is not a problem.

has face and money, why take such a big risk, run to a new show to be a contestant, and have to compete, rank, and eliminate.

If you are eliminated, wouldn't it be clear that you are inferior to others? That will directly affect the appearance fee!

Cao Wu also persuaded He Hongbo and told him to find singers who have strength, but can't become popular for various reasons, or have been out of fashion for a long time, so that they can have freshness and excitement, and the audience will love to watch them.

But He Hongbo's concept will not be able to be twisted for a while, so he has to try it.

"You're right!" He Hongbo sat in the car and sighed: "These popular singers have too many concerns and too big shelves, so it's really not good to invite." ”

"It's normal for them to have concerns, after all, this is our new show. Cao Wu comforted him: "Who are we looking for next?"

He Hongbo looked at the list: "Old Qiao of the Back Garden Band is also here, just west of the city, let's go talk to him!"

"Whatever you want. Cao Wu shrugged, but had already expected that it would not go well.

Although the Black Hole Band is the most well-known and popular rock band in the country, in the rock circle, they are not so popular.

Because black holes are too commercial.

Whether at home or abroad, those who play art always look down on money, whether they are sincere or false, they always have to make a gesture that money is like dung on the surface.

Even Cao Wu himself had a bit of this problem in his previous life.

However, in two lives, Cao Wu is no longer so hypocritical, why not earn the money he should earn?

But others don't think so, and there are still a large number of people in the circle who still hold some kind of pride and persistence, guarding their own musical concepts.

Otherwise, why couldn't even the four judges of "The Strongest New Band" get together in the first place?

But such people can't be said to be stupid, it's just that the things they pursue are different, and as far as Cao Wu knows, the old Qiao they are going to visit is such a person.
