Chapter 1076 Night Returner
The hotel courtyard is brightly lit as it is a cool season.
Jiang Yuan, Lu Qingge and Rachel, who they had just met for a while, were drinking from a famous brand of beverages.
It is also in conjunction with the filming of the program’s product placement.
Just now, Li Xiaoyue had finished reading a long opening speech to welcome Rachel and others to the "Sound Source Live" program.
Of course, it also includes a long list of advertising slogans. The translator did not add the content of the advertisements when translating, so in the eyes of Rachel and others, the attitude of the program team was very enthusiastic.
"Next, I will reveal the theme of our first recording performance."
After everyone cooperated and finished the advertisement, Li Xiaoyue finally talked about the main topic of this recording.
After hearing this, Rachel and the others became serious and talked to the translator, hoping to have the rules explained in real time.
Unlike the singers who participated in the previous recordings, when Rachel and others came to participate in "Sound Source Live", the program was already a hit on the Internet.
With such high popularity, everyone has some understanding of the content and rules of the program before participating.
Now everyone naturally knows the importance of the theme and mode of the performance.
Seeing that everyone was very focused, Li Xiaoyue summarized the version she had explained to Jiang Yuan the night before in the most concise terms possible.
However, the description terms were obviously much more professional than the day before.
With the help of the translator, all the singers figured out the theme setting for this night at almost the same time.
"This is indeed a good theme. When we talk about the night, we can think of many songs that are suitable for singing at this time." Rachel nodded after listening to the explanation.
"Very romantic." Yana from the Peninsula also praised.
"This can be defined differently for every singer, it just depends on what everyone's night is like." Chloe, a young-looking European and American male singer, also showed a thoughtful expression.
"It's really great." Yamada Masa from Sakura noticed that everyone was reacting and echoed it.
Including Jiang Yuan and others, everyone was quite satisfied with the theme of the performance.
Although the performance is limited to a certain time period, overall, as Chloe said, this can be a very broad theme.
It depends on what your definition of night is, and there are also various music styles that can be adapted.
After Li Xiaoyue briefly introduced the theme of the evening's performance, she continued, "If you have any questions, you can ask them."
"I want to ask what the audience of this performance is like?" Wang Hu, who had already watched the performance in advance, raised his hand first and asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan subconsciously glanced at Wang Hu. After confirming the performance venue and returning to the hotel, the other party also shared a brief introduction of the situation on the scene.
According to Wang Hu's description, the scene this time is considered a small art space.
The size of the venue is not much different from a livehouse. Later, according to Li Xiaoyue's supplement, this is actually a venue specifically for small performances.
However, thanks to the careful arrangement of the program team, the stage has the ability to change the atmosphere of the venue and can present different environments very realistically.
This is why Wang Hu calls this venue an art space.
It was precisely because he understood the layout of the scene that Wang Hu was curious about what kind of audience would be recruited.
Obviously, they also intend to decide their performance repertoire based on the audience group.
Wang Hu's question was also a question that Rachel and others were concerned about. Even Jiang Yuan had not had the chance to listen to Li Xiaoyue's talk about the arrangements in this regard the day before.
However, when asked by Wang Hu, Li Xiaoyue was still able to answer.
"For this show, we plan to adopt the form of distribution and recruitment for the audience." Li Xiaoyue said.
But for singers, the so-called allocation and recruitment still sounds a bit vague.
In this regard, Li Xiaoyue also further explained, "Probably every singer will have a fixed audience seat at the scene."
"Everyone can determine the audience they want based on the atmosphere they want for the night and the audience for the songs they sing. The program team will also help you recruit the audience before the performance officially begins."
Li Xiaoyue pondered and explained to everyone the settings for audience recruitment.
The rules are not complicated, which ensures that every singer's songs will have a corresponding audience on site.
In addition, there is no concept of competition in the performance mode of "Sound Source Live", which can be said to have relaxed the range of song selection to the greatest extent.
So after listening to the theme and rules of the first performance, the singers were all very relaxed.
In such a good atmosphere, Li Xiaoyue thought about it and opened the topic, wanting Jiang Yuan and others to share their stories related to the night, or what they wanted to express in their works at the moment.
This also served as an icebreaker for the conversation between Jiang Yuan and others.
All of the singers present here are considered to be singers who often appear in front of the camera and accept many interviews on weekdays.
When suddenly cueed to such a question, we are able to react relatively quickly.
"Let me go first." Jiang Yuan thought about it and volunteered.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, this part actually talks about the singers' respective ideas on song selection.
After deciding on the theme of the performance the night before and determining the composition of the audience, Jiang Yuan also decided on the song he wanted to sing.
It just happens to set an example for everyone present.
When they heard Jiang Yuan speak, they all turned their attention to him curiously, even Li Xiaoyue was a little curious.
After all, other singers can choose to cover the song based on the theme, but based on Li Xiaoyue's understanding of Jiang Yuan, it is likely that he will sing a new song.
So it’s natural to be curious whether Jiang Yuan can come up with a song that just fits the theme in such a short period of time.
However, as Jiang Yuan began to talk, Li Xiaoyue confirmed that Jiang Yuan really existed.
Not only that, but it is also very appropriate for the night theme.
Even different from the romantic atmosphere of the night that Li Xiaoyue had imagined, Jiang Yuan's song selection this time was very heartfelt.
"So I have also thought about the audience group to invite. I hope they can be people who come home late at night. I want to invite them to watch this performance." Jiang Yuan said as he arranged the audience group he wanted to invite.
Although she hadn't heard the song Jiang Yuan was going to sing, Li Xiaoyue already felt that the event was very interesting after hearing Jiang Yuan's description. After all, Jiang Yuan was also an expert in singing such heartfelt songs in the past.
For example, she has already shown a side of herself that is completely different from singing love songs on the show "City Corner". Her heart-wrenching singing made many listeners cry, and her singing has accompanied many emo nights.
This is also the first time that Jiang Yuan has performed such a heartfelt song on the show "Sound Source Live".
The invited audience also displayed some attributes of humanistic care.
Before Jiang Yuan could further elaborate on the requirements for inviting the audience, Li Xiaoyue had already added some in her mind.
For example, if Jiang Yuan is going to sing a Chinese song, then naturally he has to invite audiences who can understand Chinese.
While inviting the audience to watch the performance, it is best not to affect their work. Li Xiaoyue also includes helping them to take leave and even paying their wages.
Jiang Yuan was going to add these to Li Xiaoyue after the night talk was over, but he didn't know that the other party had already thought of all of this in her mind in advance.
With Jiang Yuan's proof, everyone understood what the night talk was all about and began to tell their stories one by one.
From this process, Jiang Yuan was also able to point out that everyone’s imagination of the night and the artistic expression they wanted to achieve are quite different.
After several people spoke one by one, Jiang Yuan thought that it would be a colorful night with all kinds of styles.
At the same time, it can also determine which singers have already thought about their song selections and which singers are still thinking about it.
But overall, everyone has a general direction for this first performance.
The night talk ended after everyone shared their song selection ideas.
The recording of the first meeting that night also ended here.
Compared with the previous recording sessions, this time Jiang Yuan basically only knew the other singers except Lu Qingge.
We just met and said hello, so naturally there wasn't much to talk about.
If they hadn't had the bond of performing together, and even continuing to collaborate on a second performance afterwards, they might just be like singers participating in ordinary variety shows, with just a business relationship of participating in the same music variety show recording together.
I can’t say we are that close, we just happened to have something to chat about.
After the program crew removed the cameras, Jiang Yuan and the others greeted each other again, and their expressions were much more sincere than in front of the camera.
The song selection for the first show has not yet been finalized, but everyone has decided to wait until the next day when they go to the performance together to decide on the final version of the song list.
Everyone had no objection to this arrangement, so after saying hello to each other, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Before falling asleep that night, Li Xiaoyue also sent a message to Jiang Yuan, reconfirming her requirements for the audience selection.
Jiang Yuan also briefly talked about his ideas, which coincided with Li Xiaoyue's ideas.
"Why don't you just wait until tomorrow night's rehearsal is over and go recruit some audience members yourself. This way, maybe there will be more interaction and they may resonate more with the performance."
After confirming the audience selection criteria, Li Xiaoyue also gave Jiang Yuan a suggestion.
I want Jiang Yuan to personally invite these audiences, so that the performance may be more meaningful.
Jiang Yuan was also successfully moved by Li Xiaoyue's suggestion.
Thinking that the song was sung late at night, it would be a good match.
It is then edited into the main film and can be played as a VCR before the performance.
So Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and agreed directly. At the same time, he was also quite curious about where to find such an audience to invite.
In response to this question, Li Xiaoyue simply replied and told Jiang Yuan to check it out the next day and find out.
Faced with such a reply, Jiang Yuan stopped asking questions and waited quietly for the next day.
The next day, Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingge had no filming tasks during the day, so they spent most of their time traveling to some famous places in the city.
It was a pretty pleasant time, but as night fell, everyone came to the performance venue set by the program team.
It was indeed as Wang Hu described, a small livehouse, but in such a venue, everyone could also feel the presence of the stage design.
And the presence is extremely strong.
The staff on the scene repeatedly controlled the changes in the stage according to the requirements raised by Jiang Yuan and others, and they all showed extremely satisfied expressions about the venue.
Then everyone began to rehearse with great interest.
From the night before to the evening of that day, in just one day, everyone had basically confirmed the song selection and were able to perform on site.
The rehearsal process went smoothly, and some singers even prepared more than one song for rehearsal.
Jiang Yuan also sang a song she had prepared at the rehearsal.
Several foreign singers were basically at a loss as they could not understand the lyrics, and could only praise Jiang Yuan for singing really well.
However, Lu Qingge and Wang Hu were able to understand the relationship between the lyrics. Even though it was just a rehearsal, they were still unconsciously immersed in the story described in the song and felt very emotional listening to it.
Jiang Yuan also judged that there should be no problem with his rehearsal based on the reactions of Lu Qingge and the others.
The rehearsal that night ended successfully, and Jiang Yuan followed the program crew to the street.
"We have already recruited some of the audience, so you just need to find some people who are still working at night and invite them." When they walked to the street, the program team had already made plans for Jiang Yuan.
He even drove the car to a place where there were many people working at night, so that Jiang Yuan could start sending invitations as soon as he got off the car.
That night, Jiang Yuan started to take action, but the process was not very smooth.
Many viewers were still a little confused when Jiang Yuan issued the invitation, and obviously could not imagine that they would encounter such a situation.
Some viewers who recognized Jiang Yuan gladly accepted the invitation to the show.
There are also some viewers who simply don’t know about the program and Jiang Yuan. Most of this kind of viewers rejected Jiang Yuan’s invitation.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Yuan only succeeded in inviting a few audience members and also heard some new stories.
