Chapter 279: Studio and Preparation [1st Update]
Dragon boat festival.
After the end of the weekend, the country ushered in the first day of work peak of the week, and Pengcheng TV was also preparing a program.
After more than a month of preparations, the preparatory work for the "Voice Actor Competition" co-organized by Pengcheng Radio and Xinghuo is nearing completion. Tainai plans to open it to the public in June and complete the audition registration in mid-July.
At this time, in the No. 7 studio hall of the TV station, Zhang Bei, the designer of the "Monkey King", was holding the "design book", standing in the last row of the studio hall, looking down at the stage layout in front of him.
More than 10 staff members in the station checked the connection of lights, wiring, power supply, speakers and so on.
Directly above the stage, a blue billboard is hung, which is printed with the Pengcheng TV station logo and the Xinghuo animation logo at the same time.
The Spark Animation LOGO was drafted and designed by Gao Tingting, with the main colors of red, yellow, blue and green, and the logo design shape is 'four-corner paper windmill'.
The reason why the windmill shape was chosen is because the design of the 'paper windmill' is simple and can be remembered by the brain. It is in line with the inclusive and joyful theme of Spark Anime, and will leave a pleasant and happy look.
Each corner of the 'Paper Pinwheel LOGO' designed by Gao Ting has a unique meaning, representing the producer, voice actor, original writer, and anime fans.
These four turn together as a whole.
Below the Pengcheng logo and the Spark Animation LOGO, there is a four-character design of the 'Voice Actor Competition'.
The design of these four fonts was completed by 'Monkey King's curation'.
The Monkey King designers absorbed the elements and colors of the Spark anime logo. The font is written against a clean white background, giving it a light, concise look and feel, which is suitable for people of all ages to understand.
And the stage theme of the 'Voice Actor Contest'. They also use the color scheme and design elements of Spark Anime. Create a sense of wholeness from the inside out.
There is a saying in the designer world that 'vision is the first perception'. The 'appearance' of a commercial product directly affects the judgment of consumers and audiences on the quality of the product.
……
"Not bad......
Zhang Bei's gaze switched back and forth between the stage and the design book in front of her.
After a while, I found that in front of the audience, one of the five 'guest judges' was not at the right distance, so I quickly walked to the front of the stage and negotiated with the staff to adjust.
While everyone was talking, station director Wang Feng accompanied Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang into the studio, surrounded by the three hosts of the 'Voice Talent Competition', as well as Sun Wenchang and the director team.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhang, is our studio layout okay?"
"Studio 7 is the largest studio in our station, the size of four basketball courts. It's no worse than CCTV's. The auditorium on both sides can accommodate 400 spectators to watch the ......"
"In the past, we were willing to use it during the Spring Festival."
Wang Feng explained while talking and laughing with Zhang Fan and the others, and everyone around him followed behind with smiles on their faces.
"Boss......" Zhang Bei greeted her boss with a smile when she saw her boss coming.
Sun Wenchang introduced on the side: "Boss, this is our "Monkey King. Zhang Bei, the designer of the voice actor contest project, led the team to complete the theme design. ”
Zhang Fan looked at the layout around the stage and said, "Very good, where has the work been done now?" ”
"It's almost done." Zhang Bei handed out the design manuscript and said: "The whole set of design includes 11 ...... such as brochures, on-site audience invitation cards, posters, etc."
As they spoke, everyone came to the front row of the audience. Experience the overall effect of the stage,
Far left. The infield host Xue Na, the backfield host Gao Yang, and the outfield host Yang Xiaoxiao are whispering to discuss the trial broadcast later.
……
According to the planning of Director Zhang and his team, "Voice Talent Competition" borrowed from the most popular reality show "America's Got Talent" in North America, and added original thinking suitable for the voice actor competition and online and offline audience interaction.
There are 5 seats for guest judges, 3 reserved for professional teachers in the industry, and the other 2 reserved for non-industry guests.
In order to qualify for the next round, candidates must obtain a pass from 2 professional teachers and 1 guest.
There are three hosts, divided infield, backfield, and outfield host.
The infield is responsible for the on-site hosting, the backfield is responsible for the backstage contestants interviews and lively atmosphere, and the outfield hosts are responsible for the off-site auditions, as well as interviews with the contestants' families and friends.
The work of the three hosts will together constitute the three major content sections of the entire program.
Therefore, the host cannot stand on the stage and go through the motions like a stake, but assume the role of enlivening the atmosphere of the scene. It is necessary to be able to 'cry, laugh, and play', and it is easy to 'become emotional'.
For example, when you hear a participant read a very touching storyline, you should express enough tension to bring the audience in front of the TV into it.
Otherwise, the contestants did not react after reading the audience, and the host did not have any expression, and the show would be very boring. The ratings can be imagined.
An entertainment talent show is actually a 'live version of the movie', except that the real story becomes more 'story-like'.
Therefore, some draft columns often have touching plots such as "how difficult is the candidate's family", "which relative is seriously ill", "whose old man died and didn't go to see it".
This aspect was also absorbed in the planning of the 'Voice Actor Contest', but the rendering was not strong. The real theme idea is delightful youthful inspiration and enthusiasm.
……
Studio scene.
In the conversation room, the lighting and other items on the stage have been set up, and the promotional video of the "Voice Actor Contest" has begun to play on the big screen.
At this time, Zhang Fan sensed the vibration of the mobile phone, and the caller: Gao Tingting.
Gao Tingting said: "How is the layout of the TV station?" Can't come back at noon? Everyone can wait for you to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival together. ”
"Pretty good...... If you go back, it may not be until 12 o'clock. Zhang Fan said:
"That's okay, I won't delay you and Zhou Yang's investigation."
Saying that, Gao Tingting hung up the phone, and a pair of eyes around her were watching her at the same time, and the whole studio was unusually quiet from the inside out.
"OK, I've figured out the details, and I'll be back around 12 o'clock. Begin! ”
"Let's go!"
Applause and shouts rang out neatly.
Gao Tingting said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has 'hated Zhang Fan to the core'!" Very good! ”
Li Shishi said: "The boss often plays 'surprises' with us. This time, let's let him experience the feeling. ”
Everyone laughed. Everyone's face was full of excitement and anticipation. More than 700 'participants'. Under the leadership of Gao Tingting, Xia Xiaotian, Feng Hong, Su Xiu and other executives, they began to rehearse in batches.
During the rehearsal, everyone did not forget to contact Xuejun, an ally, to inquire about the preparation of the 'zongzi cake'.
……
Zhao's restaurant, back kitchen.
“……。 I was about to open it to see it, and my mother said that it had been steamed for more than 2 hours......"
Xue Jun happily reported the cake preparation to Gao Tingting, and Qian Xiaoxi, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother gathered in front of a large cage drawer, surrounded by hot steam.
"Well, okay Sister Tingting." Hang up. Xuejun happily grabbed Xiaoxi.
As the two cooks lifted the cage drawer down, everyone took a few steps back in unison and came to the stainless steel counter on the side.
When the lid of the cage is lifted, the steam mixed with the fragrance of Jiangmi and sweet dates comes to the face, and a snow-white zongzi with a radius of about 60 cm is presented to everyone.
Under the zongzi is padded with the commonly used chopsticks for wrapping zongzi, and the sharp corners of one leaf are like half-open lotus flowers clinging to the four walls of the cage drawer.
"It smells so good!"
"It's delicious when you look at it. By the way, Auntie, why don't you have red dates in this zongzi? Wrong...... I smelled it just now. ”
Xiao Xi gushed excitedly, swallowing her saliva and asking questions.
Xue Jun smiled: "I'm stupid, can't I hide the dates inside?" Mother. What's next? ”
"Then I want to ask you Uncle Li......" As she spoke, Mother Zhao looked at the chef on the side.
At this time, Master Li was picking up a chopstick and slowly inserting it into the zongzi. The resistance transmitted by the chopsticks and the 'viscosity' generated when pulling out are used to determine whether the zongzi is steamed through.
After making sure that it was fully cooked, Master Li smiled and said, "The next step is to cool the rice dumplings in the cage drawer...... After that, the process is basically the same as making a cake. ”
"You can add a layer of cream to the top and garnish it with some garnishes, just like a cake. At least from the outside, there is no difference. ”
"So talented!" Qian Xiaoxi folded his hands excitedly, and Xuejun looked forward to it: "Can you add a big white pattern?" ”
"Isn't that easy?" Xiao Xi said: "Cut two round pieces of chocolate and buckle them on the cake, and add a bar in the middle." How stupid! ”
"I also came up with an idea, we can make the zongzi into an orange juice taste, just buy a bottle of drink and pour it on the zongzi, no need to put sugar!"
"And it's sweet and sour, and the color is also very good!"
"That's a good point." Master Li smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhang is not disgusted by sweet and sour tastes, right?" ”
"Probably not, Brother Fanzi likes orange juice a lot." Xue Jun said.
Xiao Xi hugged her little man's waist and said, "Then do as I say!" By the way, I'll shoot it first...... I'm sure Brother Fan Zi will love this cake. ”
As he spoke, everyone was 'constructing' around the cake.
It was cooled for more than ten minutes, and then put it in a large basin of ice water to cool down......
When they are completely cool, the dumplings are fastened on a special tray, topped with orange juice and spread with layers of creamy chocolate...... Finally, the white LOGO was added, and the zongzi version of the 'Chocolate White Cream Cake' was officially born!
By the time I was done, it was almost 11 o'clock.
Everyone didn't dare to waste time on the food delivery truck to go to the company and join the army.
When Xinghuo everyone opened the cake and watched, everyone couldn't help but be amazed, if it weren't for the evidence of the zuò making process recorded by Xiaoxi, no one would have guessed that the inner layer of cream would be zongzi'!
……
Spark Studios.
"Give you Xiaoxi, I'm so hungry to see it......" Xia Xiaotian pursed his lips and said.
"I know how to eat..."
Halfway through speaking, I saw a black navigator coming in outside the window, Gao Tingting hurriedly said: "Hurry up and put the cake on it, don't show flaws." Xiaobai, Gao Le, Wu Ge, you are ready! ”
With a shout, everyone quickly dispersed, and a tense and expectant atmosphere was transmitted invisibly in the space.
