My Entertainment Circle

At the hotel gate, the fans who were waiting to meet Li Zhien when he left for rehearsal were a little confused, because they saw Li Zhien's accompanying staff all came to the hotel entrance and got in the car and left. The only ones missing were Li Zhien and her manager Hunter. ? So a kind-hearted hotel employee came out and said to the fans blocking the door: "Don't wait, they have already left. Someone took your star directly from the underground garage."

Hear 'gone'? Fans suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, akin to being fooled. But in retrospect, they feel like they were a little stupid? Because when Li Zhien and others arrived at the hotel earlier, many fans who followed them from the airport actually saw Zhang Ping'an joining them at the hotel.

Of course, China's anti-fans don't think there's anything strange about Zhang Pingan's appearance in the hotel? First of all, there is a custom of "landlord friendship" in China, and Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien have a very good relationship. This is something even their fans know. So after Li Zhien arrived, Zhang Pingan, as a local, met Li Zhien and had a meal or something. It was a natural reception.

It's just that fans didn't expect that Zhang Ping'an would use his private car to drive Li Zhien away from the hotel? Fortunately, Hunter was with us. Otherwise, no one knows what the news would have been like.

When Li Zhien came to the garage earlier, Zhang Ping'an deliberately pointed to Li Zhien's license plate number to show off, because the license plate was her birthday number! When Li Zhien looked at the license plate, the corners of his mouth raised and he did not forget to roll his eyes at Zhang Pingan. Such a small gesture pleased her, but Li Zhien did not want to show it.

Sitting in a Rolls-Royce is definitely much more comfortable than the bus arranged by the hotel. Hunter was also curious and asked what was the difference between this convertible and the one in Zhang Ping'an's Seoul? Zhang Pingan answered very simply. The difference is that one is a convertible and the other is a starry sky roof. The driving experience and other aspects are the same. The vehicle looks big, but it is very easy and flexible to drive.

Soon the group arrived at the venue. Zhang Pingan's vehicle parked at the back door and entered the venue with Li Zhien and others. After coming in, the staff went to the front desk to prepare, while Hunter, Li Zhien, stylists, etc. first visited the machine room.

This is a large indoor venue that can accommodate 8,000 to 12,000 spectators, so the waiting rooms here are very large. In the middle of the large waiting room is a large table for storing things. On the table are Coke, Sprite, mineral water and other drinks. It can be said that everything is available. These items were prepared by the first batch of staff who built the stage. Of course, they also prepared snacks such as biscuits, potato chips, bread and other things to temporarily satisfy their hunger tomorrow.

Li Zhien took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhang Ping'an: "Oppa, are you here waiting for us to rehearse, or should you go back and rest for a while? We definitely won't be able to finish it in two or three hours."

Because it takes a lot of time to check the stage and adjust the stage based on the rehearsal effect. Besides, such a concert in a large venue must be very well prepared. Li Zhien was worried that Zhang Pingan would get bored sitting here, so he asked him if he wanted to go back and rest until they were about to finish. Come again?

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "I will rehearse with you here. Although I don't know how you set up the stage, I can also discuss it with your concert director this time."

Large-scale concerts must have a director, because the director needs to control the entire concert process. At the same time, he also has to guide the on-site shooting. After all, the venue is large, and fans sitting far away can only watch through the big screen. The real-time feedback from the camera requires the director to decide which camera to broadcast from the master control.

"Well, I'll introduce you to the concert director later. He may be at the front desk right now." Li Zhien nodded and said.

The concert director is not from Li Zhien’s team, because every director pursues different stage effects.

Therefore, every time Li Zhien performs a concert, he will look for different directors and artists to set up a stage for him based on the size of the venue.

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Well, let's see how your stage is set up later? I'm thinking that when I have free time in the future, I might as well guest star as your concert director. How about that?"

Li Zhien immediately shook his head and said, "I don't dare ask you to be my director, and I can't afford it. The stage setup you requested is notoriously expensive."

Zhang Pingan has many variety shows of his own, such as "Masked", "Watching the Voice", etc., which are all music-type programs, which involve stage construction. And Zhang Pingan has very high requirements for the quality of programs, so the public can see the stage effect he created through the program. The stages of the two shows were very good in such a small venue, so the public can clearly know that the equipment and equipment he used are in one word: expensive!

Maybe Li Zhien earned more than 10 to 2 billion won in large-scale concerts, but if Zhang Pingan was hired to direct, he would have to spend at least 3.5 billion on the stage!

Zhang Ping'an laughed: "How can it be expensive? I'm wondering if I should let you hold a concert with four stages next time, with the stage fully opened at 360 degrees."

Hunter, who was standing nearby, immediately continued Zhang Ping'an's words: "The only way to have a four-sided stage is to go to a very large venue."

Zhang Ping'an said: "Actually, the Seoul Arena can also be used. If it is fully opened, it can seat 15,000 spectators. As for the display screen... it can be set up in the air. Isn't the NBA like to use this method? Below The free space can be used to build a four-party stage. Such an investment is a bit big. It is really a waste to open two games in a row."

Simply listening to Zhang Pingan's idea, Hunter felt that it was feasible. All the venues would be opened and display screens set up in the air for remote audiences from all directions. Just when Hunter was about to turn to look at Li Zhien, she immediately said: "Ignore it for now, I have a Yanjing concert next month."

Hunter could only smile and nod. Although he wanted to have such a large concert, Li Zhien had to agree to it.

At this time the director came in: "Zhienxi, the front desk can test it."

Li Zhien asked the director to introduce Zhang Ping'an. After the two briefly got to know each other, everyone walked towards the front desk. The rehearsal officially begins. The first step is the lighting test, microphone test, and music accompaniment test.

Then Li Zhien stood on the stage with three microphones and tried which one was more suitable for this venue? In the end, she chose the commonly used lavender microphone, which was also the first microphone Zhang Pingan gave her. Zhang Ping'an was the only one sitting there as an audience member in the oversized auditorium. He said to Li Zhien on the stage: "Sing a song of "My Old Story"."

Li Zhien smiled and nodded, holding the microphone and speaking to the sound controller: "Director of sound control, play "My Old Story"."

Zhang Pingan requested songs, and Li Zhien was testing the equipment while satisfying his personal desire to listen to songs. At this time, Hunter picked up the camera and walked over, pointing the lens at Zhang Pingan: "Here is "IU.TV" introducing the director responsible for the filming of the program this time, and he is a super famous director: Zhang Pingan xi, Please welcome~~!”

As Hunter said, he handed the "IU.TV" camera to Zhang Pingan, and Zhang Pingan took the camera and pointed it at himself: "This is Shanghai, Li Zhien's 'Shanghai Showcase Concert'. Zhien, is here Regarding the test track. Let me show you the auditorium and stage first. The entire venue can accommodate 12,000 people, but after the stage is built, it can only accommodate 7,000 people. The right-angle seats are not opened. "

Because the rehearsal of the sound track had begun, all the lights on the scene were turned on, so Zhang Pingan took the camera to shoot a circle of the audience seats before taking the camera to the stage. Li Zhien glanced at the camera and said: "Wait to go backstage to shoot. What rehearsal are you shooting?"

"Rehearsals are also backstage content, aren't they? And your company is very stingy in that the camera is actually handheld. Let me tell you, it's long past time to switch to a handheld gimbal and Sony camera for shooting. The effect is much better than handheld."

Li Zhien stopped speechlessly and said, "Okay, okay, stop facing me, I have to rehearse."

Zhang Pingan then put away the camera and returned to the audience seat. He remembered that he seemed to need to buy some photography equipment, such as an aerial drone!

When Li Zhien comes over to prepare at noon tomorrow, he plans to go to the Cyber ​​City to buy some equipment for the upcoming trip.

Just like that, there were repeated rehearsals, rearrangement of dance moves, and improvement of stage lighting effects. The rehearsal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening and ended temporarily. They would come over to do the final equipment inspection after dinner tomorrow morning. .

For dinner, Zhang Pingan took the team members to have a meal of Haidilao. Li Zhien mainly accompanied everyone, but she didn't eat much herself.

After dinner, Zhang Pingan sent Li Zhien back to the hotel and drove away. He did not go upstairs to rest for a while or anything. Because so many staff members were there, it was not good for him to go to Li Zhien's room at night.

Early the next morning, Li Zhien and his team got up early and had breakfast in the hotel. After eating and resting for a while, they started heading towards the venue because all the clothes, cosmetics, etc. had to be taken away today. Especially for the concert costumes, after arriving, I had to take out each piece for Li Zhien to try on again to see if any final modifications were needed.

Zhang Pingan exercised a bit after getting up in the morning, and then went to the Cyber ​​City to buy some equipment...
