Chapter 014 Official Recording
When the flashing lights around him stopped working, Lu, the only person on the street, walked into the building with his suitcase. With the help of the staff, he brought his radio equipment and headed to the recording room.
The camera was on from the moment they entered the building.
Perhaps because of the onlookers who had been waiting here for a long time and were willing to give the members some encouragement, everyone was much more natural in front of the camera this time. They did not feel as restrained as during the trial recording, and they even knew to talk to each other.
"Where is the recording studio?"
"It should be in front, it's so big..."
"Have the others arrived? We shouldn't be the last, right?"
"How about we walk faster? Otherwise we'll be late."
Although the topics discussed were all routine and awkward, but the fact that they could fill up the shot time and make it seem less empty, how can it not be considered progress?
Lu Wei did not respond abruptly. He pushed his suitcase and moved forward silently in the crowd until he passed through the narrow corridor, bypassed several doors, and arrived at the destination of this trip. Only then did he move from the middle position to the corner.
After going around in circles, they actually arrived at the recording site of the music show, but not on the stage, but standing below the stage, in a pit with a certain height.
If you change your perspective, this can be considered a two-way journey for yourself.
Lu Wei shifted her gaze, her eyes shifting. She had originally thought they were among the early arrivals, but she hadn't expected someone to arrive even earlier. Thirty or forty people were crammed into the space beneath the stage, their suitcases pushed to the back corner. At first glance, it seemed chaotic yet orderly.
After they came in, the crowd who were originally chatting in low voices stopped what they were doing tacitly, giving the newly entered group time to say hello.
Jin Nayan glanced around and saw that the team members were all beside her, so she greeted them loudly, "Hello everyone, we are [Miracle Girls], please take care of us."
Lu Wei quickly followed suit and bowed to greet everyone else.
With a polite opening, the groups that arrived early responded one by one in the order of their arrival.
"Hello, we are SPDE, nice to meet you."
"Hello, we are..."
After a round of greetings, Lu Wei tried hard to remember many names that did not appear on the list circulated online.
Only by knowing the specific name and appearance of the person can you avoid stepping on landmines in the future and reduce the risk of being forced to become a black and red person before leaving.
Before she could organize her mind and match the combinations on the online list with reality one by one, and just after putting down her suitcase and taking a breath, a new round of greetings began again.
She had to take back what she had just said. What did "order in chaos" mean? This was clearly "well-organized". There was really no chaos at all!
Each group greeted each other strictly according to their arrival time, and the order was clearer than Lu Wei's jawline.
No wonder there was no noise when we first entered. It seemed like everyone was just introducing themselves and there was no chance for any conversation.
The production team gave the management company a recording time of 10:00 AM sharp, and by 8:30 AM at the latest, more than half of the contestants had already arrived. It felt like if they waited another 30 minutes, they could have started recording earlier.
Sure enough, after just three or five minutes, another group arrived in the hall early.
Although Lu Wei didn't know exactly how many obscure idol groups participated in the recording, she was able to count how many groups had come by repeatedly greeting them.
Now there is only one group left that has not arrived, so it is not too late.
She was not the only one who had this guess. Everyone stood there silently waiting, occasionally whispering a few words to their teammates beside them.
Until... 10 minutes... 20, 30, 40 minutes passed, and the gathering time was getting closer and closer, and the conversations in the venue completely disappeared.
Apparently... everyone guessed wrong.
Lu Wei had expected some whispering and grumbling, but after the basic greetings, everyone stood there quietly and calmly for over an hour.
Apart from anything else, his physical endurance is very good. He managed to keep his back straight and his posture good for a long time.
Just this scene instantly maximizes the effect of the first episode of the program. There is no better promotional video than this.
So... who gave her the initial impression that a show is full of drama and shallow ponds full of cuckolds? Who gave her the illusion that the show was full of constant conflict and gossip?
From what I've observed so far, everyone seems to be in a normal state of mind. After all, it's not the time for notification yet. It's them who came early, not others who came late.
They have no position and no qualifications to criticize others.
Even the three most outgoing teammates in Lu Wei's team were tactful enough to keep their mouths shut.
In this silent understanding, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.
"Squeak~~~Ah~~~"
Everyone's heads and eyes turned at the same time, frightening the contestant who had just walked in so much that he staggered back two steps with a panicked expression on his face.
Lu Wei blinked hard. At this moment, she was eager to know if everyone around her had any secret to holding back laughter.
Can you imagine more than seventy people turning their heads at the same time and looking in the same direction without moving their bodies?
During the trial recording, Lu Wei was made to laugh by this sunflower scene, and now there is a super doubled version. Who can resist it?
Don't be fooled by the serious looks of the people around, it's all just acting! There's not a trace of genuine emotion!
The corners of his mouth that were constantly being pulled flat and pursed said it all.
Looking at the crowd in the dark room, the last member of the group to arrive finally reacted and began to apologize repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, there was some traffic on the road, so I came a little late. I'm really sorry everyone."
With the opportunity to respond, everyone quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. You're not late, no need to apologize."
"No, no, no, we're late, sorry," said Kang Yilin, the leader of the group Morri, bowing even more deeply, fearing she would incur public wrath. If they were to receive a nasty edit, they wouldn't be able to continue participating.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Wei clearly felt that the number of close-up shots was increasing. People who realized the length and weight of the shots showed their friendliness and offered comfort.
"It's okay, we haven't been there long."
"Yeah, don't worry too much. If this continues, we'll be embarrassed."
"Don't worry, don't apologize. Just introduce yourself first."
Seeing no obvious resistance on anyone's face, Jiang Yilin quickly introduced the team, "Hello everyone, we are Morri. We are very happy to see you all here. We hope to make progress together with you in the future."
The two sides ended their argument, and when the final introduction sounded, the clock hand pointed to the number 10.
The spotlight on the stage suddenly came on.
"Wow!!"
"here we go!!!"
The people standing in the audience applauded out of respect. Lu Weiyin acted as the atmosphere creator in the crowd, providing a one-stop service of clapping and cheering.
Dynamic background music then sounded, and a mysterious man hidden behind the curtain walked to the front of the stage accompanied by the sound of drums. The scene instantly erupted in cheers even louder than before.
"Oh Mo!"
"Lee Jaehyun!!"
"I can't be mistaken!"
“It’s really Lee Jae Hyun!!!”
This level of screaming was no longer something Lu Wei, the atmosphere group, could generate. She glanced at the people on the stage and roughly understood why they were cheering.
Lee Jae-hyun, a rising star in the past two years, has won many acting awards in Korea. The presence of an artist of this level indirectly illustrates MNTB's ambition for this program.
The bigger and more famous the artist is, the more he or she can not only boost the ratings of the show, but also increase the attention to the talent show as a whole.
Generally speaking, in order to maintain the balance and symmetry of the program, Korean talent show variety shows will choose artists of the opposite gender to the contestants when selecting mentors or program spokespersons.
Li Jae-hyun's presence this time broke this convention and made Lu Wei increasingly curious about the content of the program.
"Hello everyone, I am actor Lee Jae-hyun, and also the star promoter of this [Stars Show]. I am honored to hold such an important position, and I am very happy to meet you here." Lee Jae-hyun took a breath after speaking, moved away the microphone and bowed deeply to the contestants in the audience to express his greetings.
Seeing this, Lu Wei, who had raised his hands to applaud, immediately folded his hands back on his chest, without observing his teammates around him, and quickly bowed in response.
This is a matter of basic courtesy, and she has to do it even if it is inconsistent with other people's behavior.
Even though she sometimes felt that the Goryeo culture of bowing to seniors and elders was too much for her waist, when she was here, Lu Wei still believed that she had to respect their local culture first.
After all, we are called Xia because of our great etiquette, and we are called Hua because of our beautiful clothing. As citizens of a great country, we must not bring shame to our motherland.
When a senior like this takes the initiative to bow and greet you, it is equivalent to an aunt or other elder taking the initiative to greet you. In this case, it would be impolite not to respond.
It wasn't just Lu Wei who felt this way. The Korean idols who felt treated sincerely by their seniors all responded with the same respect.
The sight of the right-angle measuring machines all bent down in unison shocked the audience more than any words could express.
The most difficult thing is meeting, and the most precious thing is respect.
There is no script and it's not a show.
No matter whether they were the staff holding cameras on the scene or the directors monitoring the split-screen behind the monitors, no matter whether they were in front of the stage or behind the scenes, they couldn't help but curl their lips when they saw this scene.
Everyone's patient waiting at the beginning echoes the mutual respect now.
Everyone can feel the sincerity of the contestants and the program team. This sincerity does not come from one party alone, but from both parties.
Lu Wei didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment, but she had a feeling that this show would leave a deep impression in her heart.
