Chapter 984: Horizon Network Live!
Early in the morning of January 28th, Zhou Xing and the others came to the performance venue - Metropolitan Stadium.
The Metropolitano Stadium, in the past, was primarily the venue for football leagues, especially the Super Bowl finals, as well as some major events.
Of course, with the exception of the Super Bowl, it has never been able to fill up at any other time.
But this time it was different, the 100,000 tickets had already been sold out, and as early as half a month ago, the hotel within a radius of several kilometers of the Mets Stadium was fully booked for January 28.
They spent a day yesterday here, and today is no exception, still here.
The entire stage was built in the center of the court, so that the surrounding audience could see the stage, so there was no background LED screen.
However, the stage is built very high and very wide, so that four huge LED screens can be erected on the stage base, so that the audience in all directions, even if they are far away and cannot see the scene on the stage, can see through the large screen.
The stage had been set up a few days ago, Zhou Xing and the others came quite late, and other programs had been rehearsing and walking here a few days ago to ensure that there were no mistakes during the performance.
After all, it is not only the cooperation of the actors, but also the coordination of sound, lighting, stage atmosphere, and even line signal broadcasting, etc., so that those relevant personnel are familiar with the performance.
Not only that, the staff of Vision Network and Xilian Entertainment also set up transmission equipment as early as a few days ago, and when the time comes, it will be directly converted through NBC's broadcast network, and further processed after transmission back to China.
Yesterday afternoon and evening had been officially completed twice, the first time there were some problems with the details, and by the evening, the effect was not bad, at least Richard, who came to watch, was satisfied.
I have to go again this morning, and as for the afternoon, I will adjust my own adjustments, after all, I will perform in the evening, and I have to leave time for the actors to ensure their physical strength.
Because NBC has many years of experience on large stages and also has its own performance subsidiary, this time it was all their in-house personnel operating on the spot, ensuring the confidentiality of the show.
However, it was also during the full rehearsal that they learned that Zhou Xing's finale was the martial arts performance of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement".
However, compared with the martial arts performances they have all seen, the opening dance music is more attractive to them, and even when the rhythm of the music soars to the clouds, many people have goosebumps with excitement all over their bodies, and they are excited by Zhou Xing's music and dance.
There were also a few contestants who were dissatisfied with Zhou Xing's solo occupation of the opening and finale performances, and after seeing his performance, they were speechless.
If the gap is small, you can still be jealous, and when the distance is big enough, you can only be discouraged.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, under the standardized and skillful operation, and countless cooperation experiences, the NBC Got Talent program team and the performance company cooperated seamlessly, so that the preparations were busy and slowly ushered in the evening performance.
At 5 p.m. New York time, the Mets Stadium was already open for admission, and countless spectators lined up in an orderly manner to enter the stadium with the intervention of the police that had been arranged for a long time.
Although there are eight entrances to the Metropolitano Stadium, there are so many people that even if they have been planned in advance, the surrounding kilometers are still blocked, and each entrance is lined up with long queues, which looks very lively.
Admission was scheduled for three and a half hours, and the show officially began at half past eight o'clock in the evening.
Such a spectacular scene was naturally not visible to Zhou Xing, and they were all applying makeup and resting in the lounge area of the venue.
In China, it is still seven or eight o'clock in the morning in China at this time, and most people have just gotten up.
However, the staff of the vision network are all ready to go to work early.
At this time, the homepage of the horizon network has opened a special session of "New York Night", click on the big cover of the homepage to enter the special page.
At the top of the special show is the live video, although the performance has not yet started, but the vision network is still very well prepared, at seven o'clock in the morning, four hours before the start of the broadcast, the live broadcast has been launched.
Although the United States starts at 9 o'clock in the evening, the corresponding Chinese time is 10 o'clock in the morning, but it also needs signal transmission, translation and other work, and it is necessary to consider unexpected situations such as signal interruption, so it is naturally impossible to synchronize in time.
Although the horizon network did its best to compress the time, it still had to be delayed by an hour, and it was broadcast at 11 o'clock in the morning.
The live broadcast at this time is a bit similar to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, on the one hand, the host and guests are commenting in the studio, and on the other hand, the performance site is connected and the live broadcast is constantly sent back.
This was not Zhou Xing's idea, but a flamboyant suggestion.
"Since we have bought the copyright from Vision.com, and we will cooperate for a long time in the future, let's make it a brand, and we shouldn't perfunctory translate the performance video and release it. ”
These are the exact words of Zhang Yang.
"Although this does not seem to be cumbersome, and the most exciting part is released, but there is no foreshadowing in the front, and the end is not available in the later stage, for this performance, more audiences will watch it at most lively, but they still don't know the details, let alone its status, and importance and other related information. ”
And these need to be narrated by the studio host and commentators, and the live interview screen needs to be transmitted to the audience, just like watching a movie, which can give the audience a full range of interpretation. ”
"Through this attempt, in the future, we will hold similar performances, as well as establish our own online media, and even reach the point of competing with TV stations, which is an indispensable way, and we can also train our hosts and reporters through this attempt, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone. ”
Zhou Xing was very surprised by Zhang Yang's idea, and he thought very thoughtfully, which shows that Zhang Yang has already substituted his role and identity very well, and it is no longer a simple Zhou Xing to say step by step, for this, Zhou Xing and Guo Chao still have no reason not to agree, and they agreed at that time.
Therefore, as soon as the users of Vision Network enter the New York Night special session, they can see the explanations of the host and guests on the performance, as well as the live reports sent back from time to time.
At the performance site, Vision arranged three groups of shooting teams, one backstage, one inside the venue, and one outside the venue, to interview the audience and actors from time to time.
Because they were all poached from TV stations at the beginning, they were very professional, no different from the TV station's large-scale event reports, and they also surprised the users and viewers who kept coming in, and then they were all attracted.
