Chapter 52: The Masked Experiment (2)

Park Chulong, who was thinking about it, followed Qi Zimo step by step, and when she temporarily let go of her cluttered thoughts, she found herself sitting in the MBC studio hall decorated in theater mode. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The lights dimmed, the stage lights flickered on and off, and the prelude to the music slowly sounded, which should be a slow-paced lyrical tune.

As the first soft voice sounds, the searchlight focuses on the isolated figure on the stage, the skeletal mask symbolizing the ghost, and the completely invisible appearance makes it impossible to discern any information about the singer's identity. After some hard work, they gave up the plan of identifying themselves through their eyes, and the scattered staff in the audience could only choose to listen to the singer's careful singing.

The female singer's crisp singing voice is like the chirping of the yellow warbler in the valley, gracefully listening, slowly echoing in the entire studio hall, making everyone intoxicated.

"Zimo OPPA, where did you get it? yes. ”

Park Ji-yeon was also amazed, and curiously leaned over to Qi Zimo's ear and asked.

The stage and audio-visual effects made Qi Zimo very satisfied, and he also had the intention of teasing Park Ji-yeon.

"Isn't it you Ernie? Can't you hear me?"

"Liar! How could I not hear my kindness... I can hear Ernie with a voice changer, this is definitely not me Ernie."

Park Ji-yeon is not fooled, although she also has some self-doubt, but seven years of getting along day and night still makes Park Ji-yeon firmly believe in her judgment.

"Oh, sisters have such a good relationship?"

Qi Zimo didn't expect Park Ji-yeon to be so convinced, so he teased casually, and didn't expect the little girl to answer seriously.

The sensitive little dinosaur was suddenly stimulated, and the recent intra-team incident made T-ARA plummet from the peak, as if they had become the public enemy of the whole of South Korea overnight, obviously they and Ernie did nothing wrong, and explained so many times in private and in public on various occasions, why do fans still insist that we are lying?

Park Ji-yeon, who was on the flame string, forgot the occasion and identity for a while and was about to fight back, but found that Qi Zimo was watching the stage intently, as if the previous question was just an unintentional remark.

"That's right, what is his identity, how can he question our sisters' feelings like those ANTI who don't know the truth?" Park Ji-yeon, who had calmed down, was still ready to euphemistically remind Qi Zimo that he was not allowed to joke with her about this matter in the future.

"What's wrong?"

Although Qi Zimo was paying attention to the performance on the stage, the noisy little yellow finch around him suddenly stopped making a sound, which also made him feel a little strange.

"Zimo OPPA, I am not allowed to question the relationship between our sisters for nearly seven years in the future. ”

Park Ji-yeon's expression was very serious, which made Qi Zimo feel inexplicable, and nodded in confusion and stopped asking.

The two who quieted down continued to enjoy the stage performance, followed by Han Enjing, which is also a slow-paced love song, but it is a love song that expresses the little girl's shy love mentality.

"Actually, Ernie is a cute girl, don't be misled by her fierce appearance. Seeing the slight surprise in Qi Zimo's eyes, and in order to eliminate the faint stalemate just now, Park Ji-yeon hurriedly leaned in and explained to him.

If you follow Han Enjing's long-term stage positioning, you should choose some bold, mixed high-pitched, and straightforward lyrics. In this way, this group of IDOL is really hard, performing another self on stage for ten years.

In just fifteen minutes, the two stages ended quickly, and the general effect reached the initial requirements, and some small flaws were gradually improved.

"Director Qi, look at the effect, where do you need to improve. ”

As soon as the stage ended, Min PD, who was in the front row, came to Qi Zimo in the back to ask for his opinion.

"Min PD, you are the boss of this show, and you can call the shots on the stage. However, as a layman, I suggest that you feel free to listen to some points that do not affect the outline of the program. ”

Min PD has been firmly in control of the production of the program since he took over the project, Qi Zimo has not expressed any opinions on any issues of the program, and Min PD is grateful for the complete trust of this young director.

After getting Min PD's gaze, Qi Zimo pointed to the direction of the stage and spoke: "Although the principle of the program is to appreciate the purest music, it is always a TV show, and the audience still has to watch it with their eyes, masks and costumes so that the singers do not reveal their identities, why do you have to use such ugly masks and props to show people, is it to force the audience not to watch the singer?"

The little girl sitting on Qi Zimo's left and right also laughed in a low voice in agreement, it was indeed too ugly.

Min PD looked embarrassed and wanted to say something to explain.

Qi Zimo waved his hand to interrupt him: "It's okay, you just want to pursue the essence too much, the mask can be a good-looking cartoon avatar or the original singing avatar of the singing track, as long as it can make the audience have a falling eye, the clothes and outfits should be matched according to the song, and the appropriate appearance matching can still play a positive role in the singing effect." ”

Min PD agreed without thinking.

"The entertainment aspect of this show is really a little worse, so we have to artificially participate in some factors. The only entertainment factor in our show is to guess the identity of the singer, right? After the show is over, the audience will definitely make some guesses on various forums and vote for the selection and so on. ”

"However, the early stage will definitely be very scattered, and the effect will not be obvious. Then we will take the lead and make the audience choose from each Korean entertainment artist on the official website, and guide and encourage the audience to guess the identity of the singer, which can not only cause a topic but also make the audience feel fully involved in the show when the answer is revealed. By the way, you can make the avatar of the artist who gets the most votes in each episode into a mask for the singer to wear when recording the show in the next episode, which not only allows the audience to get their own opinions and a sense of accomplishment that affects the show, but also guides some loyal fans to vote. Even if they know that this singer is not their idol, but they just want the topic of their idol to appear in a very hot show, the psychology of fans should be clearer than me. ”

Qi Zimo casually combined the previous plan and said a small idea.

Min PD's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Still?"

He can't wait for more inspiration.

"Fan voting on the official website is a paid vote, and you can only cast one vote per issue, and each vote is one dollar. ”

Min PD felt a little inappropriate when he heard this, netizens support idols to spend some money, singers are all SMS votes for the list, but voting for the three major TV stations can give their idols one, and spending a dollar to vote can only see the idol mask avatar on TV.

"What is the purpose of this, shouldn't it be profitable?"

"Of course not, control the swiping of tickets. Otherwise, every issue is the avatar mask of the trending artist, don't you feel tired? In order to prevent others from accusing us of making a profit from this, an audience member who guesses the identity of the singer in each issue will be selected to get a car, a small bridge car worth 3,000 to 35 million won. ”

It is possible to get a car of more than 30 million won for one dollar, and Min PD, who was still worried that the audience would not actively vote just now, suddenly began to worry about the funding of the program team again.

Seeing Min PD's face full of confusion, Qi Zimo explained: "Don't worry, the audience will pay for this money, although it is not big for individuals to win the lottery, but one dollar can get a chance to multiply 30,000 times, few people will not be moved, and it will not surprisingly attract some non-program viewers to participate." ”

After this explanation, Min PD also barely understood what he meant.

"Zimo OPPA, what else?"

Park Ji-yeon, who had been listening quietly for a long time, was also a little excited to know more.

It turned out that PD and the writers were very clear about the audience's reactions and psychology when they were planning, and she felt the magic of behind-the-scenes work for the first time.

Park Ji-yeon's child seemed to be urging the action to amuse the small circle around her, Qi Zimo didn't sell Guan Zi and continued: "There may be some losses in the early stage, but as long as the show works well and has a reputation, then the funds from the vote will definitely be much higher than the price of the prize." ”

"Since the prize is a car, it's better to go directly to the car manufacturer to name it, so that we can avoid the cost of the prize, MBC's main new variety show, sponsors will more or less give some face. ”

From the usual perspective of saving program funds, Min PD put forward a seemingly good suggestion.

"No, first of all, the prize itself is to cost money, to consume the funds for the audience to vote, and secondly, to talk about the title now, even if it is negotiated, it is because of the face of MBC or the face of your Min PD, and the cost is definitely not high. It's better to wait for the show to become famous and then wait for the sponsors to come to the door on their own, and then the initiative in the negotiation will be in our hands. ”

There is an essential difference between active and passive in the mall.

"Taught. ”

"Min PD doesn't need to be modest, he just specializes in the art industry. As mentioned above, after spending the early stage, the total amount of voting will be more than the price of the prize, then the overflow money will set up a public welfare fund, and the public welfare projects of each issue can be determined by the election of netizens, government-enterprise cooperation, etc., our program team invests 1,000 US dollars per issue as an example, and the project spokesperson will designate the artist with the highest vote in each issue. Then the details of the funds for voting and the details of the allocation of the public welfare fund must be accounted for, and if necessary, the Jiangnan District Notary Office must be asked to help identify, but do not disclose it to the public for the time being, and respond when the voice of doubt gradually rises. ”

Qi Zimo's simple two or three sentences shocked Min PD a lot, and this series of plans without loopholes is not like something that can be conceived and completed in a short period of time. This plan kills four birds with one stone, and the public welfare project has obtained the desired funds, idol artists have effortlessly obtained exposure opportunities and positive news, the masked program group has achieved three bumper harvests of fame and fortune, and even the netizen fans, the sole financial donor, have also won the chance to win the jackpot, the psychological satisfaction of supporting idols, and the satisfaction of contributing to public welfare, these are just a dollar in return, which is simply a good deal.

"What if no one questions it? Do you keep the "black box operation" for a long time?"

Park Chulong also tried to keep up with Qi Zimo's thinking logic.

Qi Zimo turned his head to look at her, but did not answer, which made Park Chulong a little inexplicable, is this question idiot?

Min PD chuckled and began to explain, "No one questions it, let's just do it ourselves." ”

"Hype?" the two idols finally understood.

It turns out that this is okay, and simple scandal hype is really "rough and simple" compared to these clever tricks.

Min PD didn't just think of this, and there were a lot of news and publicity points in the plan proposed by Director Qi. In addition to questioning the hype, there are also "charity variety shows", "every issue must win the jackpot", "paid voting" and so on can be used as gimmicks for news broadcasting, combined with excellent program quality, this project is not popular and cannot be tolerated. The more this young director Qi came into contact, the more shocking he bringed, which was not comparable to the "gold-plated" rats.

"What industry did Director Qi work in before joining MBC, and is it also a media-related industry?"

It's no wonder that Min PD thinks so much, Qi Zimo's plan is too clear about the psychological behavior of netizens, idol artists, and program groups, and it's hard to believe that he hasn't conducted in-depth research on this industry. The two IDOL next to them also pricked up their ears, they didn't know anything about Qi Zimo's information before he came to South Korea, and they were also very curious about the answer to this question.

"Pretty much. ”

Qi Zimo didn't let the three of them get what they wanted, and replied vaguely, and the two female IDOL flattened their mouths dissatisfied.

"Okay, let's go have a meeting with the program team, it's almost time for dinner, I'll wait for you in the hotel lobby. ”

After giving instructions to Min PD, Qi Zimo stood up and walked towards the exit.

Park Ji-yeon followed Qi Zimo's pace, leaning sideways on his right hand side and staring at Qi Zimo with his eyes flashing.

When he arrived at the entrance of the parking lot, Qi Zimo stopped and put his hand in front of Park Ji-yeon's forehead to prevent him from hitting his head against the white wall. Park Ji-yeon straightened her little head before she realized what was going on, and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Qi Zimo also knew what this gluttonous girl was wasting her vacation and came here for.

"Not today, I'm going to have dinner with the program team later. ”

Park Ji-yeon's aggrieved eyes were even more "unjust", and she didn't speak, she just pouted and looked at Qi Zimo pitifully, like a cute little flower cat.

"Okay, when you come back from Huaguo, I'll invite you to go to the Huaguo restaurant with you for a Chinese meal this time?"

This little gluttonous cat can't eat oil and salt, so he can only "give up his wealth to eliminate disasters".

Qi Zimo took out a black wallet from his arms, took out a few and handed them to Park Zhiyan, the other party took it without a trace of hesitation, and muttered in his mouth: "Okay, don't pay the bill, next time I want to eat mapo tofu." ”

didn't pay attention to her anymore, Qi Zimo continued to take out a few won and handed them to Park Chulong: "You and Nanzhu go and have something to eat, and we will compensate for delaying your rest today." ”

Park Chulong wanted to say that she was rich, but when she saw that the girl in the little red cotton jacket took it without any worries, she smiled and accepted it not to be outdone, otherwise she would feel that Qi Zimo was not close to her.

At the same time, she asked a less relevant question: "Do you know how to cook?"

"It's just enough to be able to solve the problem of food and clothing. Qi Zimo replied indifferently.

Qi Zimo, who couldn't stay any longer, said goodbye to the two and drove to the hotel lobby of the book.
