The intersection of Xizhimen Inner Street and Jacquard Grid Alley in Xicheng, Imperial Capital
Liu Mingren led the officially established "Talent Co., Ltd." program recording team, Luo Bing led the Whispering Video Team, the reform team of Weng Huaijing, Shao Qing, and Zhou Peipei, as well as Yan Qing and Miao Miao, returned to Jacquard Gezi Hutong.
This small independent courtyard building that has been named "office building" by the "Project Department of Talent Co., Ltd." has been reunited.
Yan Qing noticed that only Li Yannian, the chief director of "Star Talk Silk Road" was absent. He probably returned to Shanghai Pearl TV. After all, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to coordinate and handle there.
After gathering in the small courtyard outside the "office building", everyone first checked the progress of the renovation and construction of the "office building" by the outsourced decoration party.
…………
The dense cubicle office area in the lobby on the left side of the first floor has been completely demolished. The original carpets and tile floors have been replaced with wooden floors. The originally planned stage and bar have been built.
Pianos, drums, electric guitars, basses, music workstations, midi keyboards and other musical instruments and deck sofas have also been placed in an orderly manner in the corner of the left hall.
Luo Bing looked at the busy construction unit and commented with satisfaction:
"It seems that after the installation of the stage lighting spotlight system under construction is completed, the performing arts bar in the left hall on the first floor can be handed over to our program team for normal use."
Yan Qing was very interested in trying out the music workstation purchased by the program team, which is a keyboard synthesizer usually used by bands for live performances.
This workstation also integrates some virtual instruments and other sound effects arranging and production capabilities. Compared with the music workstation that Yan Qing used to arrange music in Flashing Star Recording Studio, the functions are similar but the effect functions are much worse.
.
"It's pretty good, it's enough."
After Yan Qing finished the test, he was quite satisfied and said this to Liu Mingren who asked for his opinion.
The cubicle area in the lobby on the right side of the first floor has also undergone some changes. Most of the cubicles are reserved for the work of the program team staff, and part of the area has been vacated and rearranged into a conference area.
The two artist rest suites on the left side of the second floor are still under construction.
The construction on the right side of the second floor has been completed ahead of schedule.
After the construction team demolished the dense cubicle office area, the floors were replaced with waxed wooden floors that looked shiny. A newly added wall divided the entire left side of the second floor into two parts:
The small half near the stairwell is a script and role study conference room with several movable blackboard shelves and some single sofas.
Passing through the script and role study conference room, you can enter the other half of the area. Yan Qing saw that inside was a dance practice room with clean lighting and airy air.
The walls of this practice room, except for the windows, have been mirrored, making the practice room, which was originally less than 150 square meters, appear extra spacious and transparent.
There is nothing else in the practice room except the wooden floor, a full circle of single-layer floor dance bars and plain curtains swaying in the wind.
Yan Qing took a peek at Liu Mingren who was asking a professional for his opinion, while Weng Huaijing didn't say anything and just nodded, seemingly satisfied with this practice room.
After completing the tour, everyone returned to the conference area on the right side of the first floor for a meeting.
The opening of the so-called program preparation and recording briefing meeting means that the preparation work for Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing's "Talent Co., Ltd." program is nearing completion, and the program can start recording immediately.
Program manager Liu Mingren led the entire recording team at the briefing meeting to report several matters and the agenda to be discussed and decided to the Whisper Video team responsible for the online broadcast platform and the two creative teams:
First, about the recording time of the first episode:
All the renovation work of the "office building" will be completed this Friday. Because Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing's respective addresses are less than ten minutes' drive from this "office building", there will be no breaks during the actual recording of the program.
The artist's lounge needs to be ventilated for a period of time and may not be put into use temporarily.
Based on the actual situation that Weng Huaijing needs to take leave from Monday to Friday to record the program, the planning team suggested that the first episode of the program be recorded on Saturday and Sunday, and that the second episode can be recorded on Friday and Saturday.
Neither Yan Qing nor Weng Huaijing had any objections to this point.
…………
Then the leader of the planning team, Yi Li, a girl with thick black-rimmed glasses, went on to report on the recording and broadcasting process of the first version of the program produced by the planning team.
The two-day recording cycle will be recorded in batches according to seven rough stages:
The main creative staff shared and discussed the submission stage of Rongshudong;
After determining the source of inspiration, proceed to the re-creation process stage;
Work sample appreciation and discussion stage;
Possible re-modification and creation stages;
Invite guest performers to rehearse the work;
The official performance stage of the work;
The stage of evaluating the value of the work after the performance.
After the recording is completed, the program team will complete all post-production work before next Thursday, and it will be officially launched on Whisper Video after the fourth episode of "Star Language Silk Road" is broadcast on August 31.
Each planned program will eventually output two works, and the main program of "Star Language Silk Road" broadcast every Saturday will play the edited version to attract traffic. At the same time, each issue will also analyze the operating output of each sub-column.
Ranking based on value and paid on-demand volume.
When Yi Li mentioned this, she also specifically mentioned to Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing that preparations for the second program of the two artists who had successfully partnered together, which was aired last Saturday, have been intensively started in Shanghai.
After Yi Li finished her report, Miao Miao, who had received Yan Qing's instructions in advance and chose to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, said nothing, as if she had the pearl of wisdom in hand.
The remaining three parties had a heated discussion on the first version of the recording plan. Shao Qing put forward many sharp opinions and suggestions, which almost overwhelmed Yi Li, the leader of the planning team.
Yan Qing was really miserable when he saw this girl named Yi Li: the tears in her eyes hidden under the thick lenses were almost bursting out from Shao Qing's methodical and well-founded questioning, until she couldn't stand it any longer.
Luo Bing and Liu Mingren joined forces to join the battle, and Yili's side finally stabilized its position a little.
What Shao Qing said does not seem to be a problem for Yan Qing. Looking at this first version of the recording plan from the side of the artist she represents, it is indeed a big problem.
Weng Huaijing is first a ballet dancer, and then she is an actress.
The program process is obviously more suitable for using songs as the carrier of works, rather than stage plays or movie scripts.
Once Shao Qing accepts this setting, Weng Huaijing's room for performance in subsequent programs will be very limited.
After saying this, Shao Qing also expressed his doubts about whether the boring process of creating works can produce variety show highlights that are enough to attract the audience. He suggested that the planning team should consider adding some interesting links that can create variety show highlights.
.
As if he was giving an example casually, Shao Qing suggested that in the fixed opening part of "Talent Co., Ltd.", a video introducing the two main creators could be designed, so that Weng Huaijing and Yan Qing could take the initiative to reveal some innocuous and interesting things in the video.
, suitable for attracting traffic through whispers.
Shao Qing is also very concerned about the authority to invite guests to participate in the flight, as well as the credibility of the final evaluation of the work. She reminded the program team to ensure that the final evaluation of the value of the work is recognized by the audience, so as not to
It's the embarrassment of working behind closed doors.
She even knew the devilish editing routines commonly used in variety shows. Shao Qing carefully asked the planning team represented by Yili whether "Talent Co., Ltd." had fixed "characters" for Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing, as well as post-editing
Will it impose a "CP sense", which is an "emotional line" that the audience dislikes and even likes to see?
…………
While Yan Qing continued to eat melon, he still had enough energy to observe the situation around Shao Qing:
Weng Huaijing, who had ponytails and no makeup and was dressed casually, was listening to Shao Qing's questioning with a cold and focused expression. Her transparent assistant Peipei was concentrating on taking a small notebook and quickly memorizing Shao Qing's speech.
During the entire discussion, Miao Miao only confirmed with the program team again that the ownership of the income rights of the final work has not changed: the ownership of the work still belongs entirely to the creator himself, and only needs to provide the contributors with the inspiration.
The writing fee is enough.
After Miao Miao got the answer she wanted, she started eating melon with Yan Qing, and continued to watch the discussion between Shao Qing, Luo Bing, Liu Mingren, and Yi Li.
In the end, Liu Mingren and Yi Li, with the assistance of Luo Bing, almost tried their best to come up with an explanation that satisfied Shao Qing:
The program team will focus on the joint creation of the two artists in the editing, and will also promise to specially design some explosive points that fit the plot of the show to showcase Weng Huaijing's ballet and acting space.
We fully accept Shao Qing’s suggestions for the opening session, and will send people to follow the filming and assist in post-production according to Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing’s schedule.
The authority to invite supporting guests is completely delegated to the two main creators. Pearl TV and Whispering Video behind the program will provide assistance. The flying guests responsible for the supporting performances are invited by Yan Qing Studio and are responsible for watching the performance of the work and evaluating the value of the work.
Guests were invited by Weng Huai and Fang Dingxin.
During the work valuation process, the program team will invite professional entertainment accounting firms and third-party notary companies to review, endorse, and notarize the valuation.
Finally, after confirming that neither of the two main characters accepted the emotional line, the program team also agreed that the post-editing would not establish the character and not forcibly cut the emotional line.
After all consensus was reached, the specific time for the gathering to start recording was finally determined on Saturday morning. Liu Mingren weakly waved his hand to announce the end of the meeting. Yan Qing, who had secretly observed the whole process, saw the program team's helpless desolation in the failure of the dog food plan.
I also observed the faint joy in Shao Qing's eyes after he achieved all his goals.
"Xiao Miao, please learn from me. Shao Qing's methods are really amazing. He's an old fox."
After the meeting, watching Shao Qing, Weng Huaijing, and Zhou Peipei leave the "office building" in Dingxin's nanny car, Yan Qing commented on Shao Qing like this to Miao Miao who had just got on the motorcycle.
"Brother Qing'er, how can you say it so harshly?"
Miao Miao answered in a sweet voice.
Yan Qing, who was riding an electric bike, thought to herself:
"It's great. Another wonderful day where I met my partner and didn't even talk about it."
