Chapter 906: Small Performance
Ye Zi didn't care about the noise of Zhu Hanwen and others in the media, these movements were destined to not affect the final result of the awards, so let them go to the wild dog barking, and a piece of meat was indispensable on their bodies. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info he is making his own preparations step by step under the arrangement of Shantai Wenhui, he should go to participate in the show, he should meet with the fans, and when he should visit a certain senior or powerful person in the music industry, then he obediently followed the Tai Wenhui with a carefully prepared gift.
The days are tense and fulfilling.
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to January 14, Ye Zi has been in Xiangjiang for five days, and there are still two days before the award ceremony.
In the morning, there were two radio programs next to each other, and it was noon after they were done. After a casual lunch, Ye Zi, Wenhui and Wen Wen came to a large commercial building in the M ring of Xiangjiang. This afternoon, there will be a special performance in the atrium of this commercial building to celebrate the third anniversary of the opening of this large commercial building invested by Taiwan Strait.
……
Small-scale performances like this are held almost every day in Xiangjiang, from superstars such as Principal Tan and Sister Mei to young singers and actors who have not yet officially emerged are among the invitations of the organizers. Identity, shame.
In fact, this is a kind of commercial performance in the Hong Kong market, and it is the one that occupies a large share. Merchants in need will invite some actors of different levels, mainly singers, to help out according to their own strength, and the backbone of this kind of small performance is similar to Ye Zi and Chen Yichen, who have just debuted new singers, the performance fee is less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the merchants who hold the event can afford to invite one or two such singers. Those big names and emperor superstars who are just popular occasionally appear on such occasions, so the strength of the merchants who invite them must be extraordinary, basically similar to Li Jucheng, a wealthy man in Hong Kong.
But even so, that kind of show is still a small show. Only those performances that are held in formal performance venues, such as theaters, assembly halls, stadiums, etc., are considered formal large-scale performances.
This time, after Ye Zi came to Xiangjiang, Wenhui arranged several such small performances for him. First, it is to earn a little performance fee to subsidize the expenses of publicity, and secondly, it can also be used in this way to let Ye Zi further integrate into the Xiangjiang music scene.
Is there a better way to integrate into the Hong Kong music scene than to sing face-to-face?
Ye Zi has not received such an invitation to perform before, although his album is selling well and the fan base is growing day by day, but after all, he sings Chinese songs, which is non-mainstream in the Xiangjiang performance market. Ye Zi has no problem participating in the kind of large-scale performances held in theaters, squares, gymnasiums, etc., and Wenhui has also taken over a few performances for Ye Zi, and the performance fee and performance effect can satisfy both parties. However, this kind of small performance is generally a shopping mall, company, store and so on to do annual celebrations, cocktail parties, celebrations and other activities, the organizer often does not rent a special performance venue, or set up a temporary stage in front of their own shop or inside the building, and then rent sound and lighting to live. And the audience of such a performance is arranged in front of the stage, which is a zero-distance performance. This kind of performance does not pay much attention to the quality of singing, the most important thing is the atmosphere and down-to-earth atmosphere, so the attraction of Chinese songs is obviously not as good as Cantonese songs, and even less than English songs.
However, as Ye Zi's song "You at the Same Table" gradually spread and sang in Xiangjiang, there were more invitations to similar small performances, of course, the inviters all designated that Ye Zi's singing repertoire must have this "You at the Same Table".
This is a good thing, which represents the further recognition of Ye Zi by the Xiangjiang performance market. Whether it is in the Xiangjiang market or the mainland Chinese market, it is far from enough to have a high-end formal performance market, an actor (singer) can have a strong appeal in the performance market of all grades from high to low, which is the sign of a real foothold.
Of course, Wenhui has to undertake a few performances for Ye Zi, and today is the last small performance this time. After Ye Zi participated in the "Star-studded Song and Dance Gala" in the New Year, Wenhui believed that the range of small performances he could receive in Xiangjiang would become wider and wider, and the price would definitely rise. As for the number of performances, it is very likely that it will not increase, after all, the cost of performances will rise.
……
The commercial building is located in the prosperous area of the M ring, with a 38-storey high-rise building and a large area such as the auxiliary building podium, covering a large area. From the basement floor to the seventh floor is a large shopping mall, which is a complex that includes supermarkets, department stores, home appliances, restaurants, and so on. Floors 8 to 28 are high-end office buildings for rent, with high rents and a large number of world-class companies stationed here. The 29th to 38th floors are a five-star high-end hotel, with thousands of rooms including the presidential suite, as well as bars, cafes, Chinese and Western restaurants, conference rooms, gymnasiums, indoor heated swimming pools and other essential ancillary facilities of five-star hotels. Although this hotel is not the top quality in Xiangjiang, it is also a first-class hotel, and the hotel is located in an excellent location, with an unobstructed view of the city of Xiangjiang from the window, and the daily room occupancy rate is still quite good.
Now, Ye Zi, Wenhui and Wen Wen are resting in a luxury suite on the 35th floor of the hotel. For small performances, even the stage is improvised, of course, there is no backstage room for changing clothes and makeup, so open a guest room, or temporarily find a vacant room, and arrange some tables and chairs, tea, pastries, and fruits for the actors to rest, which is also something that the organizer must prepare in advance.
Generally speaking, the performers who participate in small performances do not care about the rest environment before the performance, and everything is OK to ensure that the performance goes smoothly and the checkout is refreshing. So under normal circumstances, the actors (singers) will no longer ask for any separate rest room.
But...... There are people who do that.
……
"Mr. Li, we ...... Oh, excuse me, isn't this a separate offer for us? ”
Ye Zi, Yutai Wenhui and Wen Wen were drinking tea and talking quietly, when the door was pushed open, and a group of seven or eight people walked in with a young man with sunglasses. The one who started looked around as soon as he entered the door, and then asked politely.
The person who came spoke Chinese, with a distinct Taiwan Strait accent.
Ye Zi's eyes were sharp, and he saw that this person's brows were slightly wrinkled unobtrusively.
Mr. Li, the person in charge of arranging the actors' affairs of the organizer, showed an apologetic smile: "Mr. An, the hotel rooms are tight, so ......"
He also speaks Chinese, but his Chinese is much worse, with a strong Xiangjiang atmosphere.
"Oh, that's it, it's okay, it's okay." Mr. An smiled slightly: "Then let's go and open a guest room by ourselves, can you please ask Mr. Li to help us go through the formalities?" ”
As soon as Mr. An said this, not only Mr. Li of the organizer was hesitant, but even Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui frowned.
This Mr. An seems polite, but he is actually using words to force the organizers.
Ye Zi is the first actor to come to the mall, this is Ye Zi's performance habit all along, and he doesn't want the organizer to wait. At that time, Mr. Li of the organizer repeatedly apologized and said the same wording.
Actually, this is normal.
There won't be a lot of actors invited to a small show like this, three to five shows are enough, so opening a suite for the actors to rest should be almost enough. The living room of this suite is more than 40 square meters, there is a leisure area composed of two sets of sofas, and a business office area, where more than a dozen people can sit down to rest, drink tea and talk. If you need to change your costumes, you can go to the two rooms, and there are two bright toilets that can provide the actors (singers) with makeup. In terms of small performances, such conditions are not the best, but they are definitely not bad.
Some smaller shows offer a large room with stools and curtains, which is also a lounge and changing room. To put it bluntly, there is no need to pay so much attention to participating in such a small performance, that is, Principal Tan, elder brother, and Sister Mei participate in this kind of small performance, and many times they are treated like this.
But today's wave of people, although these words when they come in and say them sound very polite, have clearly hinted: we will not stay in such a room, unless it is specially provided for us. If not, we'd rather open a room ourselves.
Is it possible for the organizers to let the invited actors go to a special room to rest? Of course not. In that case, the organizer's face will be cracked by the other party's behavior. In order not to lose his face, the organizer had to do what the actors asked.
Then, this Mr. An's method of retreating as advancing has worked.
However, such an approach is very unpopular. (To be continued.) )
