Chapter 105: What is a profession?
Although Xiangjiang is only a small place, for the mainlanders in the 80s and 90s, Xiangjiang is a beautiful and rich place like a real paradise.
The hotel where Ye Zi and the others stayed was the Ito Hotel, which is located next to the Victoria Park in Tongluo Bay, which is a five-star hotel.
This is an old hotel that has been open for a long time, but except for the small size of the guest room, the chuang shop is a little too narrow, and there is nothing else to be too picky.
For Ye Zi, who has lived in various luxury hotels in his previous life, this hotel is just like that, although it is known as a five-star, the facilities are too far from what was twenty years later, and it is a question whether it can be rated as a four-star in the future. But for Zhang Lei, Zeng Chun and others who came to Xiangjiang for the first time, it was really a long insight.
Since stepping into the palatial lobby of the hotel, Zhang Lei's mouth has not been closed, and he even subconsciously wiped his hands on his pants, and then took the room card from the TV station staff.
This time, the accommodation is for two people, and Ye Zi is of course living with Zhang Lei.
taught Zhang Lei to use the room card to open the door and insert the card to get electricity, and the two walked into the room, and Zhang Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yezi, this hotel is really luxurious, I think it is comparable to Hilton in Shencheng."
Zhang Lei put down his backpack and slammed himself on the chuang, his eyes patrolling the decoration of the house back and forth, and sighed.
Ye Zi put the synthesizer and electric guitar he carried with him on the shelf, and then he had time to look at the room where he was going to live for ten days.
A very small room, less than twenty square meters in total, is a standard room for two guests. The TV is not small, and the 25-inch island brand color TV is placed squarely on the rotating TV cabinet.
The walls of the room are covered with ru-white dark pattern wallpaper, and several fake still life paintings are hung. With a dark coffee desk and TV cabinet, quiet curtains, chuang covers, desk lamps, and spotlights, the whole style of the room still has a little warm feeling.
"It's a standard room, where is it luxurious."
casually threw the coat in his hand on the chuang, Ye Zi answered Zhang Lei's exclamation while sitting in front of the desk. Picked up a copy of the text on the table and looked at it.
"Huh? What is it? ”
Zhang Lei just lay down for a while and got up immediately, he also came to the desk, and saw another document on the desk at a glance.
Ye Zi couldn't take his eyes off it, and replied in his mouth: "It's the detailed schedule of each player in this finals, which one is yours, you can also take a look." ”
"Oh? That's to take a good look. Zhang Lei immediately picked up another copy of the text.
For all the contestants, this article is quite important.
"Too detailed, right? Accurate to within minutes? ”
Since entering the room, Zhang Lei sighed for the second time in a short time.
Ye Zi smiled and corrected his statement.
"It's not called detail, it's called professional."
"Professional?"
"Yes. It's called professionalism! ”
This article, which Ye Zi called "professional", is a thick pile and neatly bound, and its full name is "Shen Yuexiang Three Singer Contest Contestants Schedule Rules".
A line of contestant information will be printed in the lower right corner of the cover of each article. For example, Ye Zi's one, the lower right corner is printed with "Ye Zi of the Shencheng Delegation", in which the word "Ye Zi" is deformed and bolded, and you can see it at a glance.
Before the players checked into the hotel, the schedule had already been put in place. This alone is already a word for "professionalism".
In this article, each delegation, each contestant and the daily itinerary are arranged in great detail. Just like Zhang Lei said. This arrangement is based on minutes.
Illustrate.
Tomorrow afternoon, January 19, this is the time for the Shencheng delegation to go to the recording studio to rehearse with the band. In this article, the five contestants of the Shencheng delegation have been arranged in the order of their names, and at the same time, according to the length of each contestant's song in the report, plus a certain margin, the length of time each contestant and the band have been together has been determined.
Here's another example.
Next Monday, January 21. This is the day when the Shencheng delegation went to the studio hall to walk the stage. This part of the itinerary starts from the time when the delegation departs from the hotel, including the time arrangement for each contestant's walk, lunch arrangement, afternoon makeup and fitting arrangement, makeup artist, hairstylist, stylist assignment, return car arrangement, etc.
In this article, except for the semi-finals on the 23rd and the finals on the 27th, the order of the contestants' singing has yet to be decided by lot, and all other matters have been arranged in advance.
For the contestants, they can see such a document at the first time they have just checked into the hotel. I will feel a lot more at ease. This at least gives the players an idea of the specific schedule for each day of the next 10 days, which also makes it easier for the players to adjust their schedules in order to better cope with the event.
Such an arrangement is of course very professional.
Some people may question whether such a "profession" is too rigid and lacks the necessary flexibility and flexibility.
This question may be in zài.
Accidents are always everywhere. Maybe a contestant can't find his form when playing with the band, and he can't complete the plan for a long time; Maybe a contestant doesn't like the hairstyle that the makeup artist has arranged for him or her, and needs to change to a more desirable hairstylist; Or there may be some other temporary event that can happen at any time, breaking the schedule of this plan; And so on and so forth.
These are all very likely things to happen.
But such an accident does not mean that this article is useless, on the contrary, with such a well-arranged plan, you can make corresponding changes and adjustments in the first time when unexpected events occur.
This plan is a timeframe for the entire duration of the Grand Finals, within which any problems or unexpected situations can be adjusted at any time. Without the constraints of this framework, it is easy to get out of control when problems arise.
It's like playing with a band, and if there are players who can't get into the groove for a long time, there will definitely be players who are in great shape and don't need to take up too much time. Then the two situations can be complementary, and the overall time can be controlled within a reasonable range.
The same is true for other things.
Flexibility and flexibility must be based on certain rules, otherwise, the so-called flexibility and flexibility are just synonymous with looseness and inefficiency.
To put it bluntly, in the TV programs in mainland China at that time, it was rare to see such detailed and thoughtful time arrangement details. So in the Shencheng event that Ye Zi participated. There are all sorts of unexpected situations that happen on an ad hoc basis and are difficult to resolve in a timely manner.
This is exactly the truth of the old saying "everything is foreseen, and everything is not foreseen".
This is the difference between professional and non-professional.
You must know that making such a detailed plan that every player makes arrangements for their daily itinerary consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, time, energy and money. And this qiē is just to ensure that this time the game can be carried out normally.
As the organizer of the finals of this event, Hong Kong TVB attaches great importance to this event, which can be seen from this.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, all the members of the Shencheng delegation gathered in the living room of the suite where Zhou Fang stayed.
"I won't say much else."
"In short, I hope that everyone will prepare seriously and actively prepare for the competition, and do their best to achieve the best results possible."
Zhou Fang's attitude was very strict.
"And. This time, during the Xiangjiang competition, everyone must pay attention to their words and deeds. ”
"When you come to Xiangjiang this time, you are not only representing yourself in the competition, but also representing the image of our TV station and the entire Shencheng. I hope you will always keep this in mind. ”
"Alright, now let's go back and get ready, and gather in my room at five o'clock in time for tonight's welcome reception. Be mindful of what you are wearing. Don't dress up or be too casual. ”
"Alright. Adjourn the meeting. ”
――――――――――
"I was going to fall asleep just now when Mr. Zhou said it, and I repeatedly emphasized those meanings, we are not children! Just like the previous meetings in our factory, a speech is a big deal. ”
In the room, Zhang Lei was looking in the mirror and tying his tie, while complaining casually.
Ye Zi had already packed himself up. He is still dressed in a simple and refreshing outfit.
A cotton shirt, small straight-leg jeans and sneakers, no tie, the cuffs of the shirt are pulled down at the elbows, the two buttons on the neckline are unbuttoned, and a wide-brimmed metal belt is tied around the waist. Make the temperament of the whole person appear a little tougher.
"Xiangjiang hasn't returned yet, our visit to the competition this time can be regarded as a visit, and Mr. Zhou always has to be careful." Ye Zi sat on the sofa smoking a cigarette and explained a few words for Zhou Fang.
"I know that, too."
Zhang Lei tied his tie, sat on another sofa, and lit a cigarette: "Fortunately, we are coming to Xiangjiang this time, if we go to the United States, I'm afraid Mr. Zhou will be a nanny." ”
"Hahaha, it's possible." Ye Zi smiled: "By the way, Zhang Lei, when I was rehearsing in Shencheng, I wanted to ask you, how did you think of singing in an ascending tone?" ”
Zhang Lei scratched the back of his head.
"Aren't they all already in Xiangjiang? Since I'm here, I'd like to give it a try. ”
"Are you sure? As soon as you go up this tune, the highest note is going to be the hold note of the treble C sharp, a bit high, right? ”
Ye Zi was a little worried.
Zhang Lei himself is very confident: "It should be no problem." Didn't you hear it all the other day at the rehearsal? ”
"Well, rehearsals are no problem." Ye Zi nodded: "I'm afraid of you when you compete."
"Don't worry, little leaf." Zhang Lei confidently interrupted Ye Zi: "Didn't you keep saying that I was a typical 'person is crazy'?" The more people there are, the bigger the scene, the better I will sing, haha, Xiaoyezi, don't you lose to me! ”
"Yo, yelling, huh? Let's try it out? ”
"Who's afraid of whom?"
"Zhang Lei, I think you'd better think about it carefully."
