After finalizing that Nogizaka 46 will be the guest of the performance, Tian Licheng did not forget to learn from Nango Yui, who has rich network resources, and asked for the contact information of some partner companies when Sony held concerts.

Preparing for a concert is not an easy task.

Although the music club itself has held various events in the past, this time LIVE is so large-scale, and on the premise of sufficient budget, inviting some professionals to join will undoubtedly greatly improve the efficiency of preparation.

Even record giants like Sony and AVEX need to outsource many of their concert work to other professional companies.

Especially in the LIVE scene, in addition to the lighting and sound arrangement, the staff in charge of special effects is particularly crucial.

And the control of these special effects can hardly only be carried out by professionals.

Common stage effects, such as streamer cannons, fire-breathing, water mist, bubbles, balloons, etc., are all good helpers to drive the atmosphere of the audience.

Of course, these cool special effects are also very good in terms of price.

Spitfire is the cheapest, 80 for a shot. In the case of fireworks, it is about 400 per shot.

A bubble machine spray is about 1000.

The more expensive spray ribbon cannon, a cannon is 1500, and the content of the spray will have to be added to the cost.

If you want to become a messenger of the wind like Nishikawa Guijiao and let your clothes float, the price of the strong fan is 2000. Get a few more to pretend to be B, and that song will be gone for thousands of dollars after singing.

What's more, the larger the venue, the more types of effects you'll need, and the number will increase accordingly.

Imagine a huge stadium with only a lone flame spewing out, how does it look like a septic tank with biogas?

In Tian Licheng's concept, at least 10 fireball makers and ribbon cannons are needed, and at least 8 bubble machines are also needed.

And at the end of the concert, Tian Licheng is also preparing to make the biggest explosion, which will burn about 20,000 yuan this time.

Coupled with the fireworks at the end, Tian Licheng's vision requires about 200 rounds.

According to the calculation of 400 yuan per shot, plus the freight, it is an expenditure of nearly 100,000 yuan.

To be responsible for so many LIVE special effects at the same time, at least 5-6 special effects personnel are required.

Especially for cannon jets, the streamers have to be checked one by one and put in manually.

For this second of splendor, it can take an hour for a staff member to fill in.

In addition, the safety of special effects is the first element.

Once, at Masaharu Fukuyama's concert, a female staff member was accidentally hit by a streamer cannon that was fired, causing her right eyeball to burst......

However, after negotiating the sponsorship of TX Dongying, under the premise that Penguin Dad has a lot of money to burn casually, Tian Licheng can finally move closer to the professional concert level with the stage construction, on-site lighting, sound effects, live special effects and other contents of LIVE.

Later, Lao Tian did not continue to participate, but told Yoshida Hibishi the contact information of those companies and asked her to come forward to cooperate in the name of the club.

When the eldest lady faced all the members of the music club majestically, shouting that the club had pulled up TX two million sponsorships, all kinds of funds had been put in place, and a professional team would be introduced to prepare with everyone, the whole club was boiling.

The members of the club were all overjoyed, tightened their clockwork one by one, and devoted themselves to the follow-up preparations with great momentum.

Tian Licheng, as a hero, naturally received a great praise from the eldest lady.

In order to make Lao Tian feel at ease, Yoshida devoted himself to the preparatory work, and deliberately cleaned up a dozen square meters of sundries in the original club.

Spring beds, full bedding, refrigerators, computers, and all living facilities, she privately converted this utility room into Lao Tian's rest room during the preparation period without the consent of Tian Liben.

When Tian Licheng was excitedly granted the room key (temporary stationing) by the eldest lady, the expression on his face could only be described as exciting.

Isn't this TX's routine? In order to encourage employees to work overtime, they leave work at half past five, but the company's shuttle bus is set at half past six.

There is also a free working meal at 8 o'clock in the evening, overtime until 10 o'clock, and the taxi fare can be reimbursed.

Many employees can't pull back their enthusiasm for free taxis, free dinners, and overtime.

"Dare you to love your reward is to keep me from going home during this time?"

Tian Licheng faced the gentle smile of the eldest lady, even if there was more dissatisfaction, he could only take the key with blood in his heart.

He also wanted to make a last stand: "Then what should I do when I take a shower and wash my clothes, you can't let me go to the toilet to solve it." ”

"It's okay, it's a few minutes walk to our dormitory building, you can go to the men's bathroom to wash, and there is a laundry center in the building. Don't be so pretentious, special arrangements for special times. You've been living off-campus, so it's rare to experience what it's like to live on campus. Shi Geqi smiled and shattered his last illusion.

"Am I living on campus? How does it feel like you're in a prison cell? Tian Licheng lay on the spring bed like a surrender, constantly comforting himself: "Anyway, there is a window in this room......"

Tian Licheng's "behind bars" career is not as bad as he imagined, saving time on the road, his schedule is indeed a lot richer, and even the final review can be carried out in a small room between rehearsals.

In order to improve the food, he also specially bought an induction cooker, rebuilt a set of pots and pans, and even prepared all kinds of color materials.

Although the stove is not very beautiful on the small table, in order not to waste the refrigerator and not to treat the stomach, Tian Licheng still resolutely chose to embrace supper.

During a rehearsal break one night, he couldn't help but go back to his room and make a homemade scallion oil instant noodle lying egg.

As a result, as soon as his noodles came out of the oven, they were searched for taste, and the three teammates who had been hiding at the door had already divided them.

Yamamoto picked up the green onion and carefully appreciated it: "It's a pity that Tian Jun's craftsmanship doesn't open a store, this scallion oil is too fragrant!"

Shi Geqi walked and ate deliciously: "I didn't expect Xiao Tiantian to have this hand, why did he order such noodles?" A little more. ”

Even the eldest lady, who doesn't eat much at night, has a great appetite: "Licheng, add some soup to me......"

Looking at the three people who were gobbling up, Tian Licheng wanted to cry without tears: I haven't eaten a bite myself!

Since then, Tian Licheng's refrigerator has never been short of ingredients.

After tasting Lao Tian's craftsmanship, the eldest lady did not hesitate to let the junior members take on the responsibility of going to the supermarket to buy ingredients. How else to say that power makes people lose themselves?

As soon as Tian Licheng opened the door every morning, he could always see a big bag full of things at the door.

Not only drinks and drinks, but also vegetables, meat and eggs, and even steel wool balls and dish soap.

In this way, Tian Licheng played the role of chef in pain and happiness after rehearsals, which also made him look forward to the arrival of the concert: after the concert is over, he can justifiably get rid of this captive state.

On Sunday, June 29th, before I knew it, there was only half a month left before the concert.

Nogizaka 46 has finally decided on the people who will participate in this LIVE.

Under the leadership of Nango peacekeeping agent Sakiko Nonaka, several girls stepped into the Todai Community Center for the first time.

Although Tian Toshisei specifically pointed out that only non-members of the selection team are sufficient, in order to reflect the company's emphasis on MDM, Nogizaka's operation deliberately added a TOP member.

As for Lao Tian, do you know, is he happy? He's still taking a nap in the little dark room.
