Chapter 125: Concert Rehearsal

Practice brings out the truth. There are many things that can never be learned in a textbook.

===================

After coming down from the Great Wall, after the three of them returned to the company and had a simple meal, Jiang Jae-hee took the two of them to the Capital Gymnasium, where An Qixuan held a concert.

Although he doesn't know what his teacher asks him to learn, Kang Jae-hee can be sure that when he comes here, he will always learn something.

This concert is the first stop of Ahn Qixuan's love tour, and he promised that all tickets for the concert will be donated to children in the mountains. This move made An Qixuan's reputation in the mainland increase a lot.

As the first idol and the ancestor idol, An Qixuan has always been very well-known. Although it is said that the income from the concert will be donated, the income from a concert is compared with the reputation and image of the mainland. S.M did the math very clearly.

There is no income, but it does not mean that this concert will be hasty. The sound system was rented from France, the world's top system V-Dosc, and this set of sound was only used once in the capital concert of the famous French artist Jarre in those days.

The lighting used in the concert is designed by Korea's top lighting engineers. The stage design is also designed and built by a professional team. Ahn Qixuan himself served as the music director of this concert. Responsible for the song arrangement, music connection, and selection of the whole concert.

When Jiang Jae-hee and the three arrived, they saw that the stage was being built nervously, and An Qixuan was also talking to the staff with a notebook in casual clothes.

When he saw Kang Jae-hee coming, he waved his hand and asked him to come over. Kang Jae-hee asked the two girls to sit in the audience and rest first, and most of the staff here in Beijing know Kim Hyo-yeon and will not mistake him for a fan or something. The two girls sat there with peace of mind, watching all this curiously.

After seeing Kang Jae-hee coming, An Qixuan said to Kang Jae-hee: "Director Yu Yongzhen means to let you follow me, and I don't know what he asked you to learn." Just stay with me. I can't greet you at this time, this concert is very important and cannot be missed. So, do you understand? ”

Jiang Jae-hee said: "I know, it won't affect Brother Kangta, is there anything I can help with running errands, just say." "Since An Qixuan doesn't know, there must be nothing wrong with following him anyway.

An Qixuan nodded with satisfaction and continued to discuss the stage layout with the staff. He is very satisfied with Kang Jae-hee's positioning. No matter how optimistic he is about Kang Jae-hee's future, but now, Kang Jae-hee is just a trainee, and he is still a rookie among trainees, not even an artist. If he really felt like a person, patted his chest and said that if he said something, he would definitely be able to help or something. Ahn Qixuan will have a much lower impression of him, and will even contact Yu Yongzhen to suggest giving up Kang Jae-hee. After all, Kang Jae-hee is not a top genius, he can only be said to be much better than ordinary people. But if you don't understand the world, then it will not only affect his own development in the future, but even have a negative impact on the company in some cases. This is not what An Qixuan wants to see.

Follow An Qixuan to run east and turn west. Kang Jae-hee found that the job of an assistant was not something that ordinary people could do. At this time, the weather is very hot, and I sweat without much exercise, plus I need to drink water when I talk. Jiang Jae-hee is more well-behaved, and when An Qixuan said to the staff to bring water, he trotted all the way, holding a few bottles of water and sending them to An Qixuan and the staff.

Ahn Qixuan glanced at Kang Jae-hee who was holding a bottle of water and drinking it with appreciation. The posture is very low, and the mentality is very positive. A rookie must have the consciousness of a rookie, and this is the country of the East. No matter how confident you are, you must have a degree. Although it is a trivial matter to take water, if Jiang Jae-hee doesn't take it, there will definitely be a staff member who will send it up. But he still trotted all the way over. From this trivial matter, An Qixuan can see that this young man's mind is very mature. If there are shortcomings, he will tell Yu Yongzhen, and if he finds advantages, he will not be stingy with his phone bills and saliva to talk to Yu Yongzhen.

And after following An Qixuan for a while, Kang Jae-hee gradually began to understand a little bit of the reason why Yu Yongzhen asked him to come and see the preparations for the concert.

As the music director of the concert, he is mainly responsible for the following aspects, of course, different types of concerts have different requirements.

1. Rehearsing

That is, team training; Frequency, time mastery, contact guidance, music interpretation...., in short, as long as you start practicing, the time of the whole group should be handed over to him. As for some music administration work such as coordination and liaison, the manager can be responsible for it.

2. Which songs should I choose to sing? Find someone to compose the (original) song

3. Provide the score and revise the arrangement of the relevant voices

Which version to pick? Who do you ask? Do you want to fix it?

4. Decision on the distribution of solo/lingbang and each part

How do you hand over the performance of each part to the appropriate group members after you have a song score?

5. Decide on the set and order of the performance

The most important goal is to hold a regular and touring concert, and each performance must set a theme, paragraph, and song order.

6. Musical guidance on stage

Pay attention to the pitch, rhythm, master the music and the smooth progression of each piece.

The music director also communicates with the stage design and lighting design. The stage and lighting rendering at the concert have a very obvious bonus effect on the song. But professional stage and lighting design, but not professional musicians. They can only easily understand the lyrics, and simply distinguish between the main and chorus parts of the song. At this time, it is necessary for the music director to communicate with them, when and before which lyrics appear, dry ice, bubbles, light changes, light or dark, gathering or scattering.

With Jiang Jae-hee's current level, it is naturally impossible to achieve the position of music director, but he can still be competent for the position of assistant, and what he lacks is nothing more than experience and music accumulation. And the main thing, this job, is somewhat similar to the job of a producer.

Concerts have themes, artists, albums, and also have positioning. Even if it is a lyrical song, there are joyful, sad, soft, and intense.

Only by grasping the positioning better and more accurately can we create or produce the most suitable songs in the shortest time.

It is a country with a high production of music. And the company is also an economic company known for its high production. If Kang Jae-hee is a freelance musician who has become famous, he naturally doesn't have to think about his own livelihood and the company's requirements.

But he was born in a country where artists are everywhere, and he also joined the company with the strictest requirements for artists. So Yu Yongzhen hopes that he can quickly adapt to the company's style. Instead of holding back one or two songs for a few years.

Even these two songs are very classic songs.

So from the beginning, Yu Yongzhen hesitated for a long time about accepting Kang Jae-hee as a student. Not only is I worried about Kang Jae-hee's thoughts, but I am also worried that after becoming his student, I will receive more attention from the company, which is not a good thing.

It's just that Yu Yongzhen also figured it out later, in fact, after Jiang Jae-hee joined the company, it was already difficult to be independent. An environment that is too competitive is less suitable for creation. Rather than letting Kang Jae-hee be either eliminated or smoothed out in the cruel competition. It's better to shelter yourself. So that he can have a slightly simpler environment.

Last year's year-end Dabi was pressed down by him and did not let go

Kang Jae-hee participated, although it was a little unreasonable. But Yu Yongzhen said that because of learning to produce, his singing training was left behind. Participating would be a loss of face for him as a teacher, so he didn't participate.

As half of the company's president Li Xiuman's students and Yu Yongzhen, the company's chief producer, the weight is still very sufficient, and the current president of the company is Li Xiuman's cronies, so the trainee management department can't offend Yu Yongzhen because of a trainee. So Jiang Jae-hee magically did not participate in the company's year-end competition. Fortunately, with the experience of Shen Changmin, Kang Jae-hee himself is low-key, except for a few friends, others are not too surprised. (After that, there was also a fat man who entered the company and did not participate in the year-end competition.) )

Kang Jae-hee, who followed An Qixuan, was quickly absorbing everything he saw. In addition to running errands, he also helped a little. An Qixuan is overwhelmed. In addition to the acoustics, musical instruments are also checked. The other Kang Jae-hee is not confident, but he is still relatively specialized in some musical instruments.

So An Qixuan was worried about whether to follow the gaffer to see the lighting, or to check the timbre and timing of the piano and other instruments. Kang Jae-hee said he could try to take a look.

An Qixuan, who was skeptical, listened to Jiang Jae-hee's report on the piano test, and then tried it himself, and brought the piano pitch meter to test it and found that it was no problem at all, and basically affirmed Jiang Jae-hee's ability, and the rest of the instruments were relieved to let Kang Jae-hee help take a look. This made An Qixuan somewhat easier.

After the preparations for the concert are over, it is time for rehearsal.

Jiang Jae-hee, who was chatting with the two girls with nothing to do, was surprised to see TVXQ's figure. On second thought, it's not surprising. Such a stage is also very rare for Dongfang Shenqi, who has just debuted for more than half a year. Especially for the mainland, a market that companies can never give up. The old brings the new, this is the tradition.

Jiang Jae-hee didn't have much friendship with these 5 big boys, so he didn't go up to say hello. However, Kim Hyo-yeon waited for them to finish the rehearsal, and then walked up to say hello, except for Shen Changmin and Park Youtian, Kim Hyo-yeon and the other three people have been trainee companions for many years, so they naturally know each other. And Kim Hyo-yeon is very popular among trainees. Her dancing and personality are hard not to like.

Time always flies by when you're busy. Soon it was time for the concert to officially begin.

====================

Thanks to Seven Star Electric for the tip.

Regarding some professional knowledge, let's just take a look.

What's more, in fact, An Qixuan's concert in 05 was Heavenly Zhixi as a guest. But in '04, they haven't debuted yet...... So I arranged for Dongshen, who had only debuted for half a year, to make a cameo...... It doesn't affect the overall situation, so, just take a look.
