132 Mayhem (1)
Lin Weiran fled to the audience, first found the on-site dispatch to understand the situation, and then went around along the order of each fan area. He accompanied Lin Weiran all the way, and it was no different from the leader's inspection.
The 35,000 spectators are placed in these 35 spectator areas, with 1,000 people in each zone, and a different number of spectator areas are allocated according to the popularity of the idol groups, among which the 13 spectator areas of TVXQ's top stand are the most among all idol groups, followed by SuperJunior six, SS501 five, Mythology four, WonderGirls three and Girls' Generation two. A simple comparison of numbers shows that the Korean music industry is still dominated by boy groups, and even WonderGirls, who was crowned the title of 'National Sister' at the beginning of this year, is dwarfed by the fan support of other boy groups at such large-scale events.
Looking at those large posters that were hung up, Lin Weiran once again sighed at the enthusiasm of these fans.
"Lin Productions, this year's location is much less than in previous years, there seems to be something wrong with the ticket company's expectations, 35,000 tickets are in short supply at all, and on some websites, tickets for this concert have even been fried to 50,000 to 70,000 won, and now the fans gathered outside the venue are almost 10,000."
The on-site dispatcher is a man with a very capable style, he doesn't talk much, and he does things at a glance, even in the face of Lin Weiran, he is only polite on the surface.
"Ten thousand?" Hearing this number, Lin Weiran immediately glanced at his watch, frowned, and said: "The concert started at six o'clock, and it's only half past four now, and the students haven't finished school yet, where did the 10,000 people outside come from?" ”
"On the day of the dream concert, it is already a common practice in South Korea for students to skip class."
"Routine also needs to be noted, how many staff do we have to maintain order outside the venue?"
"I don't know much about this, but someone must be in charge."
Dedicated person in charge? Lin Weiran chuckled, stared at the person in charge of the infield in front of him and said: "The director team, backstage, stage, infield, and outfield, these five are the most important components of a concert. Among them, the director team is responsible for the backstage and stage, and the infield scheduling oversees the management of the infield and the outfield. ”
The stereotypical man looked surprised, he didn't expect Lin Weiran to know this. He hadn't seen this figure of Lin all afternoon, and he didn't think he would show up today.
He explained: "If it is a normal concert, I do need to be responsible for the infield and the outfield, but the dream concert is different, as early as last year, the problem of audience admission was managed by the fan organization and ticketing, and the production team only needs to manage the stage and the scene. ”
"Ticketing company and fan organization management?" Lin Weiran muttered, only feeling incredible.
The stereotypical man nodded, pointed to the upper stage and said, "This is TVXQ's thirteen audience areas, because they are all gathered together, so it is best to choose one entrance when entering." After implementing this management model last year, it worked very well, so we decided to continue this year. In addition, in order to reduce the budget, many of the staff here are volunteers of various fan groups, and most of the people who maintain order in the field are the management of these fan organizations. ”
"Managing the outfield and admission with volunteers?"
"Yes, that's it."
Lin Weiran, who is not familiar with concert production, has been making up for relevant knowledge for half a month, but he has no idea that such an unbelievable thing as Lu Dao happened under his nose. He walked to the fence of the second-floor grandstand and poked his head out, and the girls on the upper floor with work signs were all fresh faces. Looking at the support area of SuperJunior on the other side, the same situation is the same.
Lin Weiran, who was new to this industry, didn't dare to point fingers at will, he just asked for a full-frequency walkie-talkie, and then continued to understand the situation. …,
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the spectators entered, and the six entrances to the stands were opened as soon as possible. About three minutes later, the first group of visitors arrived at the corresponding support area, and the originally huge 35 audience areas were like a blank canvas, but now they are being painted with color little by little.
On the grassland, Lin Weiran looked at the orderly entrance situation, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Mobilizing fans to save money is understandable for government departments planning dream concerts, but it's a big hidden danger for live production. With dozens or even hundreds of staff members who don't know the details of organizing 35,000 activities, no one will have a bottom in their hearts.
Half an hour, looking at the gradually thinning flow of admission, Lin Weiran whispered: "I'm really looking for trouble." ”
The stereotypical man who has always been by Lin Weiran's side said: "Lin Zuo doesn't know what to do, but in fact, these fans have helped us a lot." I've been doing this for a few years now, and in the early years, because of the problem in the infield audience area, fans were fighting outside, and those who won came in more, and those who lost accounted for less. Because there have been many problems, the dream concert in recent years is the production company to divide the support area according to popularity. But there have been a lot of troubles because of the problem of 'support color'. It wasn't until last year that the managers of these fan groups were allowed to attend production meetings, and many problems were solved. ”
"See only the problem solved but not the hidden danger? The oldest of these people are college students, and most of them are high school students. Do you expect these students who skipped class to come out to see the concert to keep the tens of thousands of people in order? In case something goes wrong, none of these people can be relied upon. ”
Lin Weiran knew that in the eyes of these staff, he was purely a layman, and his politeness on the surface was all because of his identity as a producer, but in fact, there was no respect in his heart. He can fully understand this emotion, because if he hands over a professional plan to someone who doesn't know how to do it, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. So during this period of time, Lin Weiran has been actively completing his own work, except for making up for some knowledge related to concert production, he doesn't care about anything that shouldn't be cared for.
Alarmist, Lin Weiran no longer paid attention to the situation in the stands, and the big scene of 35,000 people did not excite him, but gave him a good look at how enthusiastic fans can be in chasing stars.
At six o'clock, the concert officially began, and the host introduced the various combinations on the stage one by one, and every time the name of a group was called, there was a huge cheering sound in the stands. Fans waved the balloons in their hands and screamed loudly at the same time, one beat the other, one beat the other, the most intuitive popularity competition, and now it has just begun.
"Girls' Generation!"
"Woo~Woo~"
Hearing this similar noise, Lin Weiran turned around, and the boos from several audience areas in the stands were deafening, and the cheers of the 2,000 people in the exclusive support area of Girls' Generation were undoubtedly suppressed.
"What's going on?"
"Lin Productions may not know it, as early as the days of HOT and Crystal Boys, it was already a tradition to boo girl idol groups at dream concerts." The stereotypical man's face was as usual, as if he was used to Lin Weiran's unfounded worries.
"You call this tradition?" Lin Weiran's face was incredulous.
The stereotypical man nodded and said, "At that time, half of the stands were white and half yellow, HOT came out with white cheers, Crystal Boys came out with yellow cheers, and girl idol groups like SES and Finkl came out, and they were all boosing. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the stands again, and actually sighed: "The situation is much better now, and the women's groups even entered the arena as if they were fighting." ”
Lin Weiran is a layman, so he can't take all this as normal like a stereotypical man. He looked at the stage and wanted to find Lin Yun'er's figure, but found that the camera had been switched on the big screen. He squinted his eyes and searched on the stage to find the location of Girls' Generation, only to find that they were blocked behind the other groups, not to mention their expressions, but they couldn't even see each other. …,
"I'll leave for a moment, I'll leave it to you." Lin Weiran hastily ordered, the displeasure on his face made the stereotypical man not say a word, he walked directly from the infield passage to the standby area, but he could only take a look from afar.
There are a lot of people here, and as long as he is a producer, he will be overly caring, and there will not necessarily be any rumors when the time comes.
took out her mobile phone and sent a text message, seeing that Lin Yun'er did not respond, Lin Weiran reacted.
How can people who want to perform on stage carry their mobile phones with them?
"Lin Production?"
Hearing someone call herself, Lin Weiran turned around and saw a chubby middle-aged man.
"Hello, I'm Lin Weiran."
"Sure enough, it's Lin Production." The middle-aged man looked pleasantly surprised, his fat body arrived in front of Lin Weiran almost instantly, and he took Lin Weiran's hand and shook it, and then introduced himself: "Hello Lin Production, I am Zheng Rifeng, the agent of SS501." ”
"Oh, Director Zheng." Lin Weiran, who didn't have the heart to greet others at this moment, could only think of it as a snake, but her eyes kept drifting in the direction of Lin Yun'er.
The fat man said enthusiastically, "What the hell is going on?" Lin is here to ......"
Lin Weiran dealt with it: "Look at the performance, and then there are some things to talk about." ”
"Oh, it's girlhood, isn't it?"
Girls' Generation? What happened to them? Lin Weiran looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with them?" ”
The fat man looked surprised, "Lin Zuo still doesn't know what to do?" There was a scandal. 'Virtual Idol' Director Park often says that the idol image is the image of the 'virtual idol', but now it's good, their captain and the company's predecessors had a scandal, didn't they still leave a message on the 'virtual idol' forum to boycott? ”
Message boycott?
Lin Weiran really didn't know what to do.
He said perfunctorily: "This, this is not a big deal. ”
Again and again, of course the fat man could feel Lin Weiran's abnormality, he looked back at the direction of Girls' Generation, and said without words: "It's a pity that a bunch of good materials have been ruined by the company's propaganda plan." ”
Ruined?
Lin Weiran, who was confused, just wanted to find out more news, but a sentence from the walkie-talkie made him stunned on the spot. He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked with a look of surprise, "What did you say?" ”
"The stands, arrondissements of the seventeenth and eighteenth arrondissements have an influx of spectators beyond capacity."
"The same goes for District 13."
"Where did these people come from? How did the man with the blue balloon get to the 16th arrondissement? ”
There was a moment of confusion on the walkie-talkie, and when Lin Weiran looked at the colorful stands again, he only felt that it was a terrifying color.
