Chapter 133
Music programs involve rehearsals and post-production, so there are relatively few studio shots, and the main shots are of behind-the-scenes work.
In the first episode, after more than a dozen groups of artists arrived, the program team took the drawings of the music festival area and introduced the area.
There are three stages, divided into large, medium and small, and divided into time periods, and these artists compete for the stage and the order of performance.
This is the competition before the performance, and it is an internal competition between artists. When the day of the music festival comes, it is the competition in front of the stage, and the evaluation criteria are the number of people gathered in front of the stage and the scores of the audience gathered in front of the stage.
The competition is so detailed, just for the center point of the entire program.
"Title: Eat melons and discuss / I guess many people have skipped the last gg part, but there are actually more important points later [sjyl related]"
"The program only said that the guests' wins and losses are related to charity projects, and didn't go into detail. Maybe most people don't care, me too, but when I was watching it today, I accidentally skipped the end of the show to the next episode and then saw the content related to charity projects later." "
After a music festival ends, the guests will be selected based on their rankings. The first place has six places, the second place has four, the third place has two, and the rest have only one. But this quota is not 100% certain, but is determined based on the ratings. If the audience rating of the performance does not exceed 8.5, the quota will be cancelled."
"What is this quota, It is a subsidy quota for families who are seriously ill but cannot afford the medical expenses. "
"After the music festival is over, the program team will provide targeted subsidies to the families of seriously ill patients in the name of the artists and the program team, without any other channels, and directly to the hospital."
"The program team did not promote it online, but promoted it in the hospital, so that patients with financial difficulties at home can fill in their information and wait for review."
"It was my sister who told me about the promotion in the hospital (my sister is a nurse in a large hospital), and the program team also allowed medical staff to talk to patients or their families."
"sjyl you really, I cried to death."
"Why didn't you tell others about such a big thing!"
Comment area:
"...If we are not allowed to promote it, we are afraid that the audience will deliberately give high scores (quietly show up)"
"Wow, this is the first time I know about it."
"I was wondering why they seemed so cautious in their show. I complained to my friend about how these old kids cared so much about rankings."
"That means the quality of the stage is tied to the number of places... no wonder."
"They even inserted it at the end of the credits. They were really afraid that the audience would see it."
"Choosing patients with serious illnesses for funding is probably also because they hope that they can recover soon and go to the music festival like other audiences. Jumping around together."
"I just noticed this at the end..."
Not promoting this is not only because it is related to the audience's ratings of the stage, but also because of the channel.
The program team did not want to go through any charity organization and hoped that the money could actually help those patients without any deviation, so they made this decision in the end.
Another reason is that medical-related public welfare projects require a lot of money, and the program group cannot afford too much. It is not good to over-promote them.
The PD of the program was also worried when discussing this matter with Jiang Juyu, fearing that Jiang Juyu would disagree. After all, not going through the charity channel would indicate distrust of those organizations, which would not sound good and easily cause controversy.
But in the end, Jiang Juyu gladly accepted their proposal and participated in the subsequent work.
Random entertainment always takes extreme measures, and this program is no exception. If they say they will not promote it, there will be no voice. Several posts and videos have appeared online and have been removed.
Only a few main PDs and Jiang Juyou know the content. Even the staff only know that it is related to a public welfare project, and they are not very clear about the details, let alone the artists.
Those overly divergent speculations are all false. The program team asked the platform to intervene and locked those posts and videos.
These will be made public in the future, but not now.
The focus at this time is the stage. The program team hopes that the audience will do the same, and also hopes that the artists will do the same, and not have too much burden.
Those experienced artists are all aimed at building the stage, while these young people are all focused on the nouns.
In addition to the three groups that they randomly entertained, there are five or six artists who have only debuted for a few years. They are a little proud and want to take first place like them.
"First? First is a little difficult... Compared with other teachers, our appeal may not be enough. What if we are assigned to the small stage again?"
After hearing Jiang Wangran's speech about wanting to take first place, Chen Wu tried hard to control himself and did not look at the camera. Sang
Mo also felt nervous, fearing that Jiang Wangran's big talk would upset the audience.
Jiang Wangran, who was sitting on the floor, was speechless at the two timid people, "It hasn't even started yet, and you don't even give yourself confidence? What if! What if we get first place in the end?"
Chen Wu thought about it after listening, but no matter how he thought, he felt that they could not get first place.
Sang Mo, who was squatting on the side, also raised his head and thought about who would be the guests on the show. He counted with his fingers and became less and less confident as he spoke.
Jiang Wangran listened to the names of the teachers one after another, and finally felt embarrassed.
He pulled out a hand and shook his head, "... Then just be better than those two groups, and the ranking must be higher than them, otherwise you will have no aura when you walk around the company in the future."
"That's easy." Chen Wu smiled.
"Hey! You guys are worthy of being in the same company!"
"Hahahahahaha, all you three groups want is to suppress the other two groups."
"The success or failure of your status depends on this one move!"
"Fight! I support you to fight!"
The other two groups also said the same thing, and Pei Luming was even more arrogant, "We have so many performance experiences, isn't it easy to beat those two groups?"
"You are really good at talking, you have provided a lot of bad editing materials to the editing teacher." Yao Shuo reminded him.
Pei Luming's eyes widened and she said angrily, "Anyway, I can't lose to Pei Zhiping. If I don't beat her... God, I can imagine what she will send me!"
These were all taken at random entertainment. The decoration of the practice room is the same. It feels like it was just a matter of changing the angle.
Seeing Pei Luming mention Pei Zhiping, the program crew thoughtfully cut the screen to their group.
During the post-interview, the program crew asked their group a question, guiding them to say something about wanting to defeat the other two groups. As for Pei Zhiping,
the program crew said to her, "Pei Luming said she didn't want to lose to you. What do you think when you hear this?"
Pei Zhiping, who has always been a noble and well-educated cat, showed his uncultured side for the first time. She sneered, "Pfft..."
After laughing, she sat up quickly, "Sorry, sorry."
"He has lost so many times since he was a child, and this time is not a big deal." Pei Zhiping couldn't help laughing again.
"Hahahahaha I was wondering why he cared so much! Turns out he never won!"
"They are so funny as a brother and sister, cut from TikTok!"
"Very good, I support the brother and sister!"
"No wonder Pei Luming is always so calm and steady in front of Pei Zhiping, it turns out he is trying to maintain his brother's status, otherwise he will really lose it."
A group of artists has about an hour of performance time, and based on this, the number of songs may be increased or decreased according to the order of performance.
In terms of song selection, all three groups went to consult Jiang Juyou.
They had made an appointment with the upstairs several days ago, and the closer it got to this point, the more anxious Chen Wu and Sang Mo became. The two were used to being afraid of Jiang Juyou. They were afraid when there were so many people around before, not to mention that they were going to the office upstairs this time.
After the agent informed them that they could go up, Chen Wu and Sang Mo started to get nervous, and they couldn't help but feel weak in the knees when they left the practice room.
Jiang Wangran walked in front with big strides, and he didn't seem nervous. While waiting for the elevator, he turned his head to look at the two people, who were taking deep breaths with their backs to the camera.
Jiang Wangran put his hands in his pockets, licked his lips, and said hesitantly: "...How about we not go up?"
"No!" Chen Wu said first.
Sang Mo also looked over, and took a long breath, and then said: "Don't you want to win? How can you not go up?"
"...Can I win if I go up?" Jiang Wangran was very confused.
The audience on the bullet screen also tilted their heads.
Jiang Juyou is just a producer of the group. Although she also participated in the production of their album, she is not a professional after all. Everyone doesn't understand why the three groups have to consult Jiang Juyou.
"In fact, I have always been curious about how a student of ideological and political education can run an idol group so well."
"Could it be that they went to ask for tips from the hangover medicine?"
"I am curious too."
"Hangover medicine is a producer of the group, and this does not require any very professional knowledge."
Everyone knows that Jiang Juyou is the boss of Random Entertainment, and they also know that her main job is to be responsible for the production of several idol groups.
I have dug deep into her before, but I couldn't find anything. Jiang Juyou, who majored in ideological and political education, can participate in the design and production of the album, which is very curious.
The program team also introduced Jiang Juyou from the perspective of the three group members.
In the interview room, the staff of the program asked Sang Mo and Chen Wu, "Why do you have to discuss the song list with Jiang Zhi?"
"Well... Jiang Zhi's orientation is very good." Sang Mo answered.
Chen Wu beside him nodded.
The same question was also asked to people from other groups, but only these two people could explain the reason.
Gao Xiayu said in response to the program group's questions, "Jiang Zhi has the public's aesthetic taste, her orientation is always consistent with the public, and she can grasp the degree very well. In fact, we eat this mouthful of rice, and the public's orientation is very important, so we will find Jiang Zhi to discuss."
Pei Zhiping's answer was this: "Jiang Zhi has her own unique insights in this regard. She will analyze the possible situations on the scene for us, from the environment to psychology, to the current popular elements, all of which are beyond our consideration." There
are always people who think that the job of producer is too professional. In fact, Jiang Juyou's position requires two points - connections and orientation.
The ability to build a good team's connections and be able to meet the public's aesthetic orientation. As long as you have these two points, it is no problem to produce a high-quality combination.
The former can be solved with money, but the latter is innate, and sometimes even hard work doesn’t work.
Jiang Juyou is born with a popular aesthetic, and this popular aesthetic is not so clichéd, with a little of her personal selfishness. When these two points are combined, the current achievements of random entertainment appear.
Novelty, but not so difficult to understand and avant-garde, is the main factor that arouses the public's expectations. Jiang Juyou's planning again and again proves that her orientation is completely in line with the current market's popular aesthetics, so everyone will buy it again and again.
It is good that idol groups can attract fans with their own charm and external conditions, but this alone is not enough. If you want to expand the circle, you must have works.
Whether it is the theme songs and original songs in the two seasons of "Youth Throttle 21" or the stage praised by Jiang Juyou on "Time Train Countdown", they all have achieved impressive results.
Especially the theme song of the first season, a melody becomes popular every once in a while.
Jiang Juyou, who chose this song, deserves credit.
Her ears are amazing, and everyone has to admit it.
The three people from Equals3 took the elevator to the top floor. This was their first time in Jiang Juyou's office. When they got out of the elevator, their breathing stopped for a while.
I've been to the top floor before to have meetings with people from the A&R department, but since the Film and Television Department and the Variety Department moved to the other two buildings, the A&R department also moved downstairs, and this floor was directly empty and turned into a book bar.
Normally, only the brave ones would dare to come up.
After turning the corner, several staff members sitting in the office area at the door looked up at them, then pointed at the door, "Jiang Zhi is inside, just knock on the door and go in."
When she said this, someone next to her picked up the landline and called inside to tell Jiang Juyou that someone was coming.
This atmosphere made them even more nervous.
The two were still sitting at the door and taking a deep breath, and Jiang Wangran pushed the door open and went in, "Hello, Jiang Zhi." He nodded after entering.
The two people still at the door were almost scared to death.
Jiang Juyou inside had just stood up from the desk, and after going down the stairs, he said to them, "Sit down."
Those who had not had much contact with Jiang Zhi were the bravest. Jiang Wangran went in first, holding the playlist they had prepared in his hand. He looked back before and after he reached the sofa. Seeing that the two people were walking slowly, he greeted them, "Hurry up." After
Jiang Juyu sat down, he turned on the stereo, then handed them the iPad in his hand, "Find your playlist."
Before they came, they had sent the playlist to the internal software in advance, so they could click to listen directly.
Jiang Wangran put the paper in his hand aside first, then took the iPad and found their playlist. He didn't click play, but put down the iPad and handed the printed paper to Jiang Juyu, "Jiang Zhi, this is the playlist we drafted."
Chen Wu was sitting next to him, and after Jiang Zhi took it, he added, "We want to focus on original songs. If they are original songs, we have marked them on the side."
Jiang Juyu took the pillow beside her and hugged it in her arms, frowned and read the playlist, then said, "Let me listen to the songs first."
The program briefly showed clips of several songs, but Jiang Juyu's expression in the picture was not very good.
She tilted her head and stretched her neck as she pointed at the A4 paper. "Hiss... You know, it's very risky to sing a song that no one knows at a music festival. I guess other guests wouldn't dare to take such a risk."
Her words revealed her disapproval.
Sang Mo also explained under pressure, "We thought so. No matter how we choose, what we will present in the end may be something relatively new. It's better to choose an original song that can fully express our ideas."
All three groups are under the management of Jiang Juyou, but the album production is slightly different.
Before Timetrain was formed, there were already several albums produced, so the model of fitting members into good songs was adopted.
AIcho's album is mainly about showing the different colors of the four of them and magnifying their personal charms, so whether it is the song selection or the entire album concept, they are the main focus, and adapting to them is the most important thing.
Equals3's album was produced by them, and Jiang Juyou did not participate in the song selection or the design of the album concept.
"I think the song is good, but since you have decided to focus on original tracks, then it's also possible, but the order of the tracks may have to change."
Jiang Juyou analyzed with them: "Our venue is in Zhuhai, and it was relatively hot at that time, usually around 25 or 26 degrees. If you are unlucky and are the first to go out, the temperature will not only be almost 30 degrees, but it will be dinner time soon."
"At this point in time, everyone's energy may be exhausted quickly." Jiang Juyou pointed at a few songs and said, "It's not appropriate to put songs that can liven up the atmosphere at the end. Of course, it's not appropriate to put such explosive songs at the beginning."
She looked at the three people and said seriously, "You are newcomers. It's very likely that the people standing in the audience will not know you. From my point of view, the opening song should be a better cover song. A song that can make the public familiar with it is better than a new song anyway."
"You can also start the talk after the first song, say a few words briefly, and then transition to the second song. At this time, you can play original songs that can warm up the atmosphere. After the third or fourth song, the place is officially heated up
, and it is better for you to introduce yourselves." Jiang Juyou said, picked up the iPad, changed the order of the song list, and then pointed to the third song and said, "The arrangement of the third song still feels a little weak. The arrangement can be changed. The drum part is a little messy. Do you want to highlight the guitar's showmanship or something else? This needs to be changed."
The other two listened carefully, only Jiang Wangran stared at Jiang Juyou with sparkling eyes.
In the interview room, the program team asked him why he looked at Jiang Zhi like that, and Jiang Wangran said excitedly: "It feels like I have found a soulmate!" He slapped his thigh fiercely.
"I told Arki that the drum beats were a bit messy at the end, and he said that he just had to show off his skills. I asked him if we should show off our skills with the guitar and drums? He said that they obviously cooperated very well."
"Finally! Finally, someone who shares my idea!"
"It's amazing. I also find it amazing that he is not afraid of Jiang Jueyou."
"This is a rare existence in sjyl. The last one was Pei Luming."
"Very good, I want to join Jiang Wangran."
"I really envy people like him who are not afraid of teachers..."
--------------------
Jiang Wangran: I really don't understand what they are afraid of.
I wrote that the music festival was held in Shijiazhuang before, but I changed it to Zhuhai.
