Chapter 1003 First Shooting
"Did you rehearse yesterday?"
In a specially rented studio near the filming site of the show, Jiang Yuan asked Li Xiaoyue.
What is different from previous programs is that "Sound Source Live" can be called an outdoor program to some extent.
There is no dedicated backstage or waiting room, just a temporary room rented nearby.
"I just rehearsed it by myself, and today I basically went on stage directly. After all, our show is quite different from traditional programs." Li Xiaoyue shook her head and said.
"Yes, are the audience here today all random?"
When he just arrived in Los Angeles two days ago, Jiang Yuan went to visit the recording site, which was a large cinema restaurant.
There is a large screen in the center of the restaurant, which plays music videos while dining on weekdays and occasionally hosts performances. It is considered a well-known specialty restaurant in the area.
When Li Xiaoyue was doing research, she found that this restaurant particularly met the recording requirements and negotiated with it directly.
"That's not entirely true."
"We had previously considered whether we should have the audience on site be really random customers, but this would be somewhat difficult to control, and it would also be a problem to film," Li Xiaoyue denied.
Then he explained the specific situation to Jiang Yuan, "But the audience here today basically came for our show, but they didn't know that they were participating in the recording."
"When we selected this group of audiences, we first told them that they were here to watch the singer's documentary together."
“And after each singer’s performance, we will change a group of audience members and then record the next singer’s performance after a certain period of time.” Li Xiaoyue explained briefly. This is also the shooting plan that the production team came up with after discussion.
"For every singer's photo shoot, there are about 80 audience members on site."
"We also used hidden camera mode for our on-site filming." Li Xiaoyue continued her introduction.
Jiang Yuan nodded. In this way, it was actually more like a variety show like "City Corner" that Jiang Yuan had recorded before.
The participating guests actually don’t know much about each other’s performances, because they may not have been present at the scene during the recording, so naturally they couldn’t see it.
But what is different from the past is that this time Jiang Yuan is one of the producers of "Sound Source Live". At this time, he is staying in the lounge with Li Xiaoyue and others, and can also receive reports on the on-site recording in a relatively real-time manner.
Everyone also needs to ensure that the recorded effect is qualified before passing.
Jiang Yuan also needs to be responsible for the review together with Li Xiaoyue and others.
"In a little while, the first group of singers should be arriving." Li Xiaoyue said as she opened the notebook she carried with her.
It is possible to receive images from a fixed camera position on site to watch the live recording.
"The first batch of audiences have almost arrived." Jiang Yuan also went to the computer screen to take a look.
"Yes, our program team told these viewers to watch some clips of Lu Qing's performance in advance, and played some real live videos first to confuse the audience."
"Then find the right time to let Lu Qing come on stage and give the audience a surprise." Li Xiaoyue nodded and said.
At the scene, the audience did not realize that the recording had already begun.
After all, there was only one camera working on the scene since entering, and the audience was told that it would first record the scenes of the formal audience selection.
Many viewers subconsciously regarded this event as a test, thinking that they had to have a relatively comprehensive understanding of singer Lu Qing in order to be selected.
So while watching the video in the audience, they also searched Lu Qing's name on the Internet, wanting to learn more information.
Of course, the camera of the mobile phone was covered with a sticker in advance by the program crew in the name of confidentiality.
A confidentiality agreement was also signed regarding the recording of the program, which even stipulated that no text-based epo spoilers could be leaked, to prevent "Sound Source Live" from losing its mystery before it's broadcast.
While the audience was searching for information, they would occasionally look at the video playing on the screen.
Although it is just a cinema restaurant, the program crew upgraded the sound system in advance for this recording.
So even if only the video was played on the spot, many audiences found it very exciting to listen to. After all, Lu Qing's songs are mainly rock songs, which are very infectious.
"The first person to record is Lu Qing." Jiang Yuan said after taking a look at the list.
"Yes, I also took Lu Qing's physical age into consideration. If it's too late, it might affect his condition." Li Xiaoyue also has her own set of judgment methods when it comes to arranging the recording order of performers.
"Lu Qing has already arrived at the scene, right?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
"Yes, get ready to go on stage. Now cut to Lu Qing's camera position." Li Xiaoyue said.
The picture on the computer immediately shifted from the audience in the restaurant to another scene.
"This is a small room outside the restaurant. We decorated it so that when the performance just begins, everyone will think it is a live video that they haven't seen yet." Li Xiaoyue pointed at the screen and introduced it to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Lu Qing's figure in the camera.
At this time, he had completely changed into a performance costume and looked like he was in a livehouse.
It was the first time for Lu Qing to record a program like "Sound Source Live", and he was somewhat nervous.
This is mainly because of the special rules of the program, which require that the performance cannot be as casual as in previous live performances.
At least at the beginning of the song, it cannot be performed as a live stage.
At this time, through the real-time broadcast, Jiang Yuan could also see that the staff was explaining to Lu Qing some things to pay attention to during recording, including details of all aspects of camera movement.
Since he was the first guest to start recording, Jiang Yuan studied it very seriously. He also had to perform on stage that night so he could gain some useful experience.
"The real-time image that the audience will see later will be the same as what we see from this camera position."
"But the sound effects on site are definitely much better than ours." Li Xiaoyue explained to Jiang Yuan in real time.
After a while, the scene was finally ready. Jiang Yuan suddenly became alert and his eyes began to wander between the two pictures.
Sometimes he looked at the audience's reaction, and sometimes he looked at Lu Qing's preparations.
Finally, when everything was ready, the big screen in the restaurant cut to the live scene in the small room.
The room was arranged to look somewhat like a small indoor stage. It was impossible for the audience present to understand every one of Lu Qing's performances, and they subconsciously thought it was another performance clip from a variety show.
Some seemed to be more focused, while others were distracted for a moment and just treated the playing video as a background music.
This is a very common attitude towards videos.
In such a live reaction, Lv Qing also began to perform. Among many songs, Lv Qing chose "New Boy", a song that can really boost the atmosphere of the scene.
In addition, this is a song that Lu Qing has sung a lot in the past two years, so the performance is very stable and it sounds very suitable for the audio source of a live video.
It was only because of the sound system and live singing that the audience felt that the sound quality of this song was particularly outstanding.
As for other abnormalities, no one noticed.
"It's a pity that we can't hear the live effect." Jiang Yuan stared at the screen and shook his head.
Although some singing can be heard synchronously, the effect is obviously incomparable to the live performance.
You can see the reactions of the audience to judge how the performance is going.
"We're about to start entering the venue."
After Li Xiaoyue opened his mouth, Lu Qing in the picture immediately stood up from where he was sitting and singing.
There was basically no special choreography in the entire performance, except that he suddenly appeared in front of the audience while singing in the middle of the song.
When Lu Qing just stood up, no one in the audience felt anything wrong, thinking it was just a normal performance movement.
As Lu Qing was walking, someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed, thinking that the background image in the video looked familiar.
That is the location of the restaurant entrance. Audience members with good memories quickly recalled it.
Lu Qing's pace was also very fast. When people at the scene began to realize that something was wrong, Lu Qing had already appeared in the restaurant lobby.
At this time, the surprise was fully revealed to the audience.
Everyone turned around, and shouts of surprise rang out one after another.
After seeing such a reaction on the scene, Lu Qing couldn't help but smile while performing.
This is indeed my first time participating in such a recording. I feel that after seeing the audience's reactions, it will be much more interesting than recording some ordinary music variety shows.
While singing, he greeted the audience and moved towards the screen.
For the audience at the scene, it was indeed a surprise to see Lu Qing suddenly appear in front of them singing.
When everyone arrived at the scene, they thought they were just participating in an audience recruitment and selection.
I didn't expect that I had skipped this step and directly became a viewer of the show.
The time for a song ended quickly and the recording of the first singer was completed smoothly.
"This should be considered a success, right?" After observing it, Li Xiaoyue confirmed with Jiang Yuan with some uncertainty.
"Success." Jiang Yuan also nodded affirmatively.
Indeed, both Lu Qing's performance and the audience's reactions were very much in line with what Jiang Yuan had in mind.
Lu Qing's performance ended like this, and it also marked a good start for the day's recording.
As for the audience at the scene, after enjoying Lu Qing's performance, they also changed the venue, and Lu Qing gave his autograph to these audiences.
It can be considered a benefit for the audience. Unlike other music variety shows where one can watch several performances, this group of audiences is a one-time audience and the recording ends after they enjoy the performance of one singer.
The venue also allowed the second batch of audience members to enter and take their seats according to the time period.
The audience who received the recruitment knew that many audience selections would be held that day.
So when they saw the previous group of audience members leaving, they didn't have any suspicion.
Still in the same mode, I started watching the video seriously on the spot.
In the subsequent recordings, Jiang Yuan didn’t pay as much attention as he did to the first performance.
All I can say is that both the program format and the singers' preparations were very mature, and the recording results successfully met everyone's expectations.
After three more singers finished recording, Lu Qing, who had just finished signing autographs, also came to the lounge.
"How was the recording? Was it okay?"
After saying hello, Lu Qing curiously asked Jiang Yuan and the others about the effects of the shooting.
"It's quite good, you can come and take a look." Li Xiaoyue invited Lu Qing to come to the computer screen.
The clip played by Li Xiaoyue at this time was a different version from the one Jiang Yuan had watched before.
The latest version can hear the sound source of the scene more clearly. Although it has not been post-processed, it can already restore the scene relatively well.
Jiang Yuan followed suit and appreciated it carefully.
Not only Lu Qing's singing, but also the reactions of many audiences were roughly edited, so that Lu Qing could see the effect on the scene more intuitively.
"It's pretty good. I'm already looking forward to the broadcast effect." After watching it again, Li Xiaoyue said with some anticipation.
After watching the live video, Lu Qing felt relieved and chatted with Jiang Yuan for a while, asking about Jiang Yuan's song selection and preparations for the next episode.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Yuan, at the notice of the staff, temporarily left the lounge and prepared to go to the shooting site to prepare for his shooting in advance.
The other singers either finished their schedule or were still signing autographs for the audience, so we didn't meet them in the lounge.
However, when I arrived at the scene, I met a familiar face, Shi Zhongxian, who was going to record the scene before Jiang Yuan.
They had been in contact before, and when Shi Zhongxian learned that Jiang Yuan was going to produce a program, he agreed without thinking twice.
Although Shi Zhongxian is not a top-tier singer, he has a high status and a fixed audience, so he can well support the depth of the lineup of a music variety show.
After meeting Jiang Yuan, Shi Zhongxian also seemed very happy.
Jiang Yuan was somewhat curious as to why the other party did not choose an earlier time to record. After all, the current time was not too early for Shi Zhongxian's schedule.
Shi Zhongxian explained that the recording time was postponed because of his flight delay.
They didn't chat for too long as Shi Zhongxian started his own recording first, while Jiang Yuan felt the sound effects on site and waited for his own recording to begin.
