76 New Group Variety Show Planning

Although the company has directly resolved these incidents, it is still necessary to synchronize with Stary. They may be targeted during this period, so don't let the online comments affect their mentality.

By the way, check who has not been writing songs recently and is only busy surfing the phone.

After one and a half months of seclusion, Stary has already prepared eight songs for his second album. Gu Yuchen and his team wrote two songs, four were original songs, and the other two were collected songs.

Stary is still trying to write two more songs. Whether these two songs can be written will determine whether they will release a regular second album or an EP this time. Yuan Xiao naturally hopes that they can release the songs as soon as possible, otherwise the group tour will not be able to go on.

This week is the deadline for finalizing the song selection.

Most of the songs in the second album have been arranged, and are being produced simultaneously with their creation. Pei Zijin also participated in part of the arrangement work, which he requested on his own initiative.

The song he composed was finished earlier. Although the captain was not very good at rock music, he was very good at expressing emotions. After the song was finished, Pei Zijin was not idle. He helped his brothers sort out their ideas for composing music and spent every day in Teacher Gu's studio. Gu Yuchen was also happy to let him compose and mix music. He asked the captain to do it first and then told him how to adjust and put each track.

After mixing two songs, Pei Zijin was able to complete most of the mixing work by himself. The only thing Gu Yuchen could change for him was the arrangement of some instruments. For this reason, Pei Zijin recently started learning the violin in addition to the keyboard and guitar, and he was determined to become a human-shaped instrument like Teacher Gu.

In order to keep up with the captain's pace and find creative inspiration, Su Chen quietly learned a saxophone, Jin Zeyu began to study trumpet, Yan Fan set his sights on the suona that best suited his rock spirit, and Yu Le added a flute to fit in. The five of them seemed ready to transform the Stary Boy Band into the Stary Symphony Orchestra online.

Yuan Xiao expressed his full support for this, saying that you can learn whatever you want to learn, as there is no shortage of money for studying.

In addition to finalizing the final demo at the meeting, the design of the second album was also discussed and finalized at the regular meeting. The overall style of the second album is a mechanical retro style similar to steampunk, with a color scheme of silver, black and dark blue to match the starry sky concept of Stary and the main style of lyrical rock of the second album.

This album comes with a standard lyrics booklet and PB card, but we were stumped on the special extras.

The first album already gave away a record player, so the second album shouldn't give away another one, and the peripherals included in the package can't be worse than the Starry Sky record player, and each album should be better than the previous one. Yuan Xiao just emphasized the quality of the album to Stary, so the peripheral design can't lag behind.

But after Yuan Xiao reviewed the several plans submitted one by one, he always felt that something was missing.

“Neither of them works very well.”

She rejected the art designer's plan, but also gave specific modification directions for the peripheral design. When it came to the first album, the record player was actually like giving fans a beginning to understand Stary, and when it came to the second album, in addition to the necessary elements linked to the music itself, Yuan Xiao hoped that it could be a peripheral that can be carried around.

It can be hung on a bag or a mobile phone, not only can it play songs on the go, but it can also be used as a mark of recognition between fans. It can be said to be a peripheral planning like the identity card of Shuoguo. The person in charge of the art team thought about it and actually made one during their investigation.

"This is a portable tape player pendant. The keychains on the market can record four to five songs, but we gave up this plan because the price was too low and it would look inferior if it was included with the album. Another reason is that the sound quality would be deviated due to the miniaturization of the product."

The staff of the art team quickly went outside to find the sample they had bought before and showed it to Yuan Xiao. She tried to put it in place and found that it was just a toy as they said.

As soon as Yuan Xiao put down the small tape recorder, Yu Le stole it from her hand, and together with Su Chen, Yan Fan and a few other curious little heads, they studied this new little gadget.

“Can our factory do it?”

"It's not a big problem." The art team came out and replied, "The technical level of this thing is not high. If you want to make it better, it's fine. Just use better accessories."

This pendant is quite interesting. If it could be added to the entire album and the sound quality could be adjusted to a special retro texture, it would be quite consistent with several songs in the album.

This plan can be used as an alternative. Yuan Xiao sought Stary's opinion and after getting their reply that they liked it quite a bit, he handed it over to the art team to move forward with it.

"You can try to use a metal shell. Since we're going to make a tape recorder, it will fit in with the steam retro rock style of the second album cover design. You can make it heavier to reduce the cheap feel of the pendant." Yuan Xiao thought about it and gave them some suggestions for improvement.

But another problem they raised still exists, that is, if only the pendants are placed as special configurations in the album, it still appears to be much thinner than the first album.

Yuan Xiao thought about it and proposed another peripheral design to the art team.

The originality of Stary in the second album is bound to be highlighted in the later publicity and promotion strategies. Yuan Xiao will not let the kids work in vain, so the design of the peripherals should also be in line with the originality of the album.

"If we want to give people who buy the album a small musical instrument so that they can complete the songs in the album according to the music score, wouldn't the easiest thing be a keyboard?"

Yuan Xiao's mind is always full of fantastic ideas about the surroundings. The art team has become accustomed to their boss often snatching work from them, and they all take out their work tablets to record it.

Pei Zijin immediately got Yuan Xiao's point, and his eyes lit up. Indeed, instead of explaining in length what originality is and why it is necessary to create original works, it would be better to let the fans try to complete a song together.

The simplest melody is also what they most want to share with every fan and friend.

"Yes, the keyboard only needs to keep the simplest seven scales. We can simplify the score of the chorus of each song in the album and print it on the card. The fans who receive the album can reproduce the melody of each of our songs according to the score."

Pei Zijin became excited. As long as it was the simplest melody, the seven-tone scale could completely replicate most of the main melodies. They could just make a small keyboard with only seven keys.

Yuan Xiao shook her head. The small keyboard was still too big for an album but still too small for the user. It was not delicate enough. She knew another new technology that could be used here: "We can just make a projection keyboard."

Yuan Xiao projected the product she searched for onto the big screen in the conference room. Many people may not know this, but several years ago, projection keyboards were already a mature but niche technology: "This is it, a laser projection keyboard. Just put it on the desktop, connect it to Bluetooth and turn on the switch, and you can project a keyboard on the desktop. You can apply for the right to use this patent and check the cost."

Yu Le was completely shocked. This thing looked like a device taken out of a science fiction movie, but Sister Xiaoxiao said that it had been around for several years?

That small device, no bigger than a palm, emits a thin red laser line, and can project a simple keyboard anytime and anywhere, with black and white keys. Isn't this a magical tool for making music outside? Add a percussion pad and a stringless guitar, and it's just like taking a recording studio with you. Yu Le was so moved that he couldn't wait for the online version of their second album to be released, so he secretly took out his phone to find the "laser projection keyboard" and placed an order.

Jin Zeyu beside him touched him under the table without changing his expression and mouthed to Yu Le: "Buy two."

The configuration of the second album has also reached its peak. Yuan Xiao signaled the art team to disband and promote the design and production of peripherals, but kept Stary and the planning team.

"I told you about the variety show "Dancing with Heart" when the preparations for the first album were almost ready last year, right? There will be one for the second album this year." After the album was recorded and produced, the second album will probably be released in the second half of this year. When the first album was released, "Dancing with Heart" was there to escort the album's release, so of course the second album will also have to have a group variety show.

The planners have already completed the variety show plan, and Yuan Xiao has also approved it. It is expected to start recording in August or September this year. On the one hand, it is to record the whole thing during the last free time before the release of the second album, and on the other hand, with the post-production and editing, it can be released during the promotion period of the second album.

"You guys will probably like this project." Yuan Xiao had anticipated the five people's reactions. With a helpless smile, she announced this year's new group variety show project to them: "It's a travel variety show."

"oh------"

The five people on the opposite side exploded instantly. They quarreled like fifty people. Travel! Travel! Go out and play! Oh! What a happy plan!

Sister Xiaoxiao knows them very well and really likes them. Please come and do more of this kind of work, thank you.

The purpose of the new group variety show is, on the one hand, to promote the second album. "Journey of Destiny" from Stary's first album and several light rock songs from the second album are all perfectly suited to the style of a road movie. The young people go out to play together, with beautiful scenery and beautiful people accompanied by just the right music. It can be said to be an MV in another sense, and it can also introduce Stary to a wider audience.

On the other hand, the second season of the music show "Heart Dance Stage" will be held next year. The five of them don't have to rush to face the intense music stage competition. It's a good opportunity to go out and recharge. Yuan Xiao estimated that the stock in these guys' stomachs has almost been emptied during this period. Going out to see the world is just right for writing the third album. At that time, Ershierling said that he wanted to go out to collect folk songs for writing a new album. Yuan Xiao felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.

There is one last reason which is not a real reason. It was the recording period of the second season of "I Have Not Been" at that time. Letting Stary go out to record the variety show could also reduce the messy voices in the company and on the Internet. Yuan Xiao planned it very well and took all aspects into consideration. Stary only needed to think about where they were going to play.

"Yunnan!" Su Chen cheered.

"Xinjiang, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia." Yan Fan counted the places he wanted to go on his fingers, staring at Yuan Xiao with sparkling eyes: "Sister, can we go to a few more places?"

Yuan Xiao nodded: "It's easy to decide where to go, but there is an urgent problem to be solved now."

"Who of you has a driver's license?"

Jin Zeyu raised his hand confidently. He could be considered a young veteran driver, but he was the only one. The remaining three people in the group said nothing. Pei Zijin hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and explained: "I got my driver's license after the college entrance examination, but I basically never drove in school. If I want to drive long distances, I may need more practice."

"Go learn." Yuan Xiao made the final decision. "All five of you should learn. When you go on a trip, it's just right that you five can drive in one car. We can't let Zeyu drive alone. If you want to go out and play, then take this time to learn how to drive."

To make a scenic group variety show similar to a road documentary, it is bound to be impossible to set up many segments. All the highlights of the variety show will only come from the chemical reaction of the five members of Stary. The program group will not excessively interfere with their travel status. It is good enough for the boys to drive the car, enjoy the wind and sing songs.

So, drive yourself.

Okay, let’s clench our five fists and fight for the Tourism Comprehensive Program!
