Chapter 140: The Stage Is Yours

The MV of "Singer's Love Song" is really just an ordinary live video, in Ye Zhao's words, it is "as simple as pinching rice balls". There's no audience, no storyline, no band, just a singer holding a guitar, sitting on a barstool, and singing into a standing microphone in front of him.

If you forcibly explain a wave, since the theme of the song is "the singer's love song", the absolute protagonist is of course the singer himself.

During the whole process of the MV shooting, Watanabe Lu stood under the stage, looking at Ye Zhao on stage with a look of "my family has a younger brother who has just grown up", and when the director of the MV announced the end of the shooting, Watanabe Lu took the lead in applauding, "It's so exciting, Ye Jun." ”

Ye Zhao put down his guitar, "It's over, Brother Watanabe." ”

On the afternoon of this day, Ye Zhao, who ended filming before four o'clock, failed to agree to Watanabe Lu's invitation to stay for dinner, and naturally, he didn't see Watanabe Lu's wife, Naoko Asakura. Although it was a bit rude to visit their club without greeting the hostess, he had only met Naoko Asakura two or three times, and he had no friendship. So that's it.

When Watanabe Lu sent them to the station, he said with some regret, "It's a pity that I wanted to make the most of the friendship of the landlord and treat you to a meal of authentic Kansai cuisine." There are many differences between the eating habits of Tokyo and Kansai. ”

"I've heard people say before that you eat okonomiyaki or takoyaki with rice here in Kansai. Ye Zhao searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, thinking of this. About this bit of "knowledge", I still knew it from a certain Kansai black skin when I was watching the Grim Reaper elementary school student in my last life. Whether it's true or not, he can't tell.

"Isn't it natural to eat okonomiyaki with rice?" said Watanabe in a natural tone, "The first time I went to eat assorted yaki with my friends in Tokyo, I ordered an extra bowl of rice, and it turned out to be a strange habit. And then I replied to him, 'Isn't it a matter of course?'. ”

"It's called a geographical difference. Ye Zhao smiled.

……

I bought a ticket for the JR train at the station, and about 40 minutes later, Ye Zhao and his party got off at Osaka Station, then transferred to the Yotsubashi Subway Line, got off at Hihobashi Station, and went out from Exit 2, only two or three minutes on foot, and you could see the buildings of the destination.

Osaka Festival Hall is a concert hall located in Festival Toer, which was built and opened in 1958. Because of its very good acoustics, many symphony orchestras and cabaret troupes have regarded it as a treasure place for performances.

It's not easy to hold a concert, and it's hard to take things for granted when you imagine them, but it's difficult to do them in practice. In addition to the most basic reservation of the venue in advance, in terms of employment, the first thing is to pull up the live band, although the singers of being are low-key, but the concert still has to be held, although there are many musicians raised by being, but they also have to sit in a row to share the fruit, if the personnel do not take advantage of the moment, they have to ask for support from the outside.

The band has a team, and it is necessary to set up a harmony crew, and book in advance the photographers, videographers, security personnel and on-site maintenance personnel on the day of the concert, etc., thanks to the fact that he is a rock singer, but the backup dancer is omitted.

To solve the problem of people, it is necessary to move on to the step of formulating the detailed process of the concert in advance. For example, how to arrange the lighting and sound of the scene, how to design the stage, the appearance of singers and bands, and some time nodes.

Stage design and the like are easy to say, with being's simplicity and unpretentiousness, plus the venues are all small venues, basically there is no need to worry too much, the only thing that needs to be carefully checked is the problem of time node.

For example, the concerts that Ye Zhao is going to hold are one and a half hours in terms of time. Deducting the opening and encore links at the beginning, how long does a song last, how to arrange the specific song order, which song does the live talk start after the end of the song, how long does it take to finish, and whether you need to change your costume in the middle, these must be strictly in accordance with the time.

In addition, in order to prevent accidents before the start of the performance, after setting this set of preferred plans, an additional emergency plan should be prepared, so as not to catch the blind on the spot after an accident really occurs.

In addition to these necessary preparations in the early stage, Ye Zhao, as a singer, must protect his voice and body during the period before the end of the concert, participate in the design of the concert peripherals, and confirm the process and stage effect of the performance.

As the time before the start of the concert gets closer and closer, the staff must install and debug the lighting, sound and other equipment in the venue, the musicians must re-record the song accompaniment, and the effect of the stage must be confirmed in advance. At this time, Ye Zhao will also move the main battlefield to the concert venue for a rehearsal before the official opening.

It can be said that until the last Hibiya None was played, his days were very busy.

And these things that make him feel very troublesome just by listening to them are only to the extent of just three venues and five concerts, not the kind of national tour that takes nearly a year to travel to 47 prefectures. I didn't have that kind of deep feeling before, but now that I actually experience it, Ye Zhao deeply understands how hard it is for a touring madman like Emi Amuro. Especially since she is also a singing and dancing singer, she consumes more physical strength per concert than he sings purely, I don't know how much.

Today was the day of the routine equipment inspection at the venue, and there were no scheduled performances, so they were able to enter the venue.

Although he came to Osaka under the banner of field trips, for Ye Zhao, at this stage, there is no place for him as a singer. All he could do was get on stage and feel what it was like to be on it.

…… Sure enough, it felt really wonderful.

No matter how small a person is, as long as you stand on it and look at the audience, you will feel like you are in the center. He remembered the performances he had seen, the musicians on stage, the audience enjoying themselves, and now he was going to be the protagonist of this stage.

Although this venue is only a small venue that can accommodate 2,700 people, it is like climbing the first step of his career as a singer, and he will slowly conquer one boss after another until he stands on the stage of Tokyo Dome.

It's no wonder that people who dream of being admitted to a certain university will go out of their way to visit the university of their choice, and this feeling of being on the ground is the simplest and most brutal way to cheer themselves up.

"Ye Zhaosang, please come here first, now it's time to take pictures and measure the stage. Ueda reminded.

"Yes! Ye Zhao quickly put away his thoughts, got off the stage, and sat down in the fourth row in the middle.

Another staff member surnamed Gao Shan smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Quite perfect. Ye Zhao looked at the stage, "Now I have a feeling that I can't wait to come over." ”

……

When I left the concert hall, it was already half past eight in the evening. Although the authentic Kansai cuisine promised by Watanabe Lu could not be eaten, Ye Zhao was the east, and several people still found a Kansai restaurant. However, since I had to rush back to Tokyo overnight, I just had a light meal so that I didn't miss the return Shinkansen, and I headed for the station before 9:30. 2k reading web
