Chapter 738 Lee Ji-Eun's Shanghai Concert (Part 2)
Chapter 747 Lee Ji-eun's Shanghai Concert (2)
At the hotel gate, the fans who were waiting to see Lee Ji-eun when she left for rehearsal were a little confused because they saw that the staff accompanying Lee Ji-eun had arrived at the hotel gate and got into the car and left, but Lee Ji-eun and her agent Hunter were not there? So a kind hotel employee came out and said to the fans blocking the gate: "Don't wait, they have all left. Someone took your star directly from the underground garage."
Hearing "left"? The fans suddenly felt a sense of absurdity similar to "being fooled". But thinking back, they felt that they seemed a little stupid? Because when Lee Ji-eun and others came to the hotel earlier, many fans who followed them from the airport actually saw Zhang Ping'an also joined them at the hotel.
Of course, the anti-fans in China did not think it was strange that Zhang Ping'an appeared in the hotel? First of all, China has the custom of "host friendship", and Zhang Ping'an and Lee Ji-eun have a very good relationship, which is something that even the fans of them know. So after Li Zhien arrived, Zhang Pingan, as a local, met with Li Zhien and had a meal with her, which was a natural reception.
But fans didn't expect Zhang Pingan to take Li Zhien away from the hotel in his private car? Fortunately, Han Te was with him, otherwise no one would know what the news would become?
When Li Zhien came to the garage, Zhang Pingan deliberately pointed out his license plate number to Li Zhien to show off, because the license plate was her birthday number! When Li Zhien looked at the license plate, she raised her mouth and rolled her eyes at Zhang Pingan. Such a small move was very pleasing to her, but Li Zhien didn't want to show it.
Rolls-Royce must be much more comfortable to sit in than the bus arranged by the hotel. Han Te also curiously asked what was the difference between this convertible and Zhang Pingan's one in Seoul? Zhang Pingan answered very straightforwardly. The difference is that one is a convertible and the other is a starry sky top. The driving experience is the same. The vehicle looks big, but it is very easy and flexible to drive.
Soon, the group arrived at the venue. Zhang Pingan parked his car at the back door and entered the venue with Li Zhien and others. After entering, the staff went to the front desk to prepare, while Han Te, Li Zhien, the stylist, etc. went to see the waiting room first.
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, there is a large table for storing things. On the table are Coke, Sprite, mineral water and other beverages. These items are prepared by the first batch of staff who built the stage. Of course, they also prepared snacks with some biscuits, potato chips, bread and other things for temporary hunger tomorrow.
Li Zhien took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhang Pingan: "Oppa, are you waiting for us to rehearse here, or go back to rest for a while? We will definitely not be able to finish in two or three hours."
Because the stage inspection,
and the stage adjustment based on the rehearsal effect later, etc., all take a lot of time. Besides, such a large-scale concert must be well prepared, and Li Zhien was worried that Zhang Pingan would feel bored sitting here, so she asked him if he wanted to go back and take a rest, and come back when they were about to finish?
Zhang Pingan thought for a while and said, "I'll follow you in rehearsal here. Although I don't know how you set up the stage, I can discuss it with your concert director this time."
A large-scale concert must be equipped with 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, and the real-time feedback of the camera requires the director to decide which camera position to broadcast in the master control.
"Well, I'll introduce you to the director of this concert later. He may be at the front desk now." Li Zhien nodded and said.
The concert director is not a member of Li Zhien's team, because every director has a different pursuit of the stage effect, so every time Li Zhien's concert, she will look for different directors and artists to set up the stage for herself according to the size of the venue.
Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Well, let's see how your stage is built later. I'm thinking that when I'm free in the future, I can just guest star as your concert director for you, how about it?"
Li Zhien immediately shook her head and said, "I dare not ask you to be my director, and I can't afford it. The stage you require is notoriously expensive."
Zhang Pingan has a lot of variety shows, such as "Masked" and "Look at the Voice", which are all music-type programs, which involve stage construction. And Zhang Pingan is a person who has very high requirements for the quality of the program, so the public can see the stage effect he built through the program. The stage of the two programs has done a very good job in such a small venue, so the public can clearly know that the equipment and equipment he uses are just one word: expensive!
Maybe Li Zhien made more than 10 billion or 20 billion won in large-scale concerts, but if she asked Zhang Pingan to be the director, he would have to spend at least 300 million to 500 million on the stage!
Zhang Pingan laughed, "How can it be expensive? I'm thinking, should I let you hold a concert with a four-sided stage next time, with a 360-degree full-open stage."
Hent, who was standing next to him, immediately continued Zhang Pingan's words: "A four-sided stage can only be done in a super-large venue."
Zhang Pingan said: "In fact, the Seoul Arena can also be used. If all are opened, it can seat 15,000 spectators. As for the display screen... just set it up in the air. Doesn't the NBA like to use this method? The space below can be used to build a four-sided stage. This investment is a bit large. It is indeed a waste to open one game. Wouldn't it be profitable to open two games in a row?"
Just simply listening to Zhang Pingan's idea, Han Te thought it was feasible. The venue was fully opened and the display screen was set up in the air for the remote audience in all directions to see. Just when Han Te was about to turn around and look at Li Zhien, she immediately said: "Don't consider it for the time being. I have a Yanjing concert next month."
Hent could only smile and nod. Although he really wanted to have such a super-large concert, he had to agree with Li Zhien herself.
At this time, the director came in: "Jie Enxi, the front desk can be tested."
Li Zhien asked the director to introduce Zhang Pingan. After the two of them got to know each other briefly, everyone walked towards the front desk. The rehearsal officially began.. First, the lighting test, microphone test, and music accompaniment test..
Then Lee Ji-eun stood on the stage holding three microphones to try 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 Pingan was the only one sitting there as an audience member in the huge audience seats. He said to Lee Ji-eun on the stage: "Sing a song "My Old Story." "
Lee Ji-eun smiled and nodded, holding the microphone and said to the sound control: "Sound control director, play "My Old Story." "
Zhang Pingan's song request, Lee Ji-eun satisfied his personal desire to listen to the song while testing the equipment. At this time, Hunter picked up the camera and walked over, pointing the lens at Zhang Pingan: "This is IU.TV. Let me introduce you to the director responsible for the program this time, and he is a super famous director: Zhang Pinganxi, please welcome everyone~~!!"
Hunter handed the IU.TV camera to Zhang Pingan, and Zhang Pingan first pointed the camera at himself: "This is Shanghai, Li Zhien's 'Shanghai Showcase Concert'. Zhien, I am testing the soundtrack. Let me show you the audience seats and the 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 position is not open."
Because the rehearsal of the soundtrack has begun, the lighting on the scene All of these were turned on, so Zhang Pingan took the camera and filmed the audience seats before walking onto the stage. Li Zhien glanced at the camera and said, "Wait and go backstage to film. What are you filming rehearsals?"
"Rehearsals are also backstage content, aren't they? And your company is very stingy. The camera is actually handheld. If you ask me, you should have changed to a handheld gimbal and Sony camera to film. The effect is much better than handheld."
Li Zhien stopped speechlessly and said, "Okay, okay, don't point it at me. I want to rehearse."
Zhang Pingan then put away the camera and returned to the audience seats again. He remembered that he seemed to need to buy some photography equipment, such as drones for aerial photography!
Tomorrow at noon when Li Zhien came to prepare, he planned to go to the digital city to buy some equipment to prepare for the next trip.
Just like that, rehearsals, re-arrangements of dance positions, and improvements to stage lighting effects, the rehearsal lasted until about eight o'clock in the evening before it was temporarily over. They will come to do the final equipment inspection after lunch tomorrow morning.
For dinner, Zhang Pingan took the team members to eat at Haidilao. Li Zhien mainly accompanied everyone, and she didn't eat much.
After dinner, Zhang Pingan drove away after sending Li Zhien back to the hotel. He didn't go upstairs to rest for a while. Because so many staff members were there, it was not good for him to go to Li Zhien's room at night.
The next morning, Li Zhien and the team got up early and had breakfast in the hotel. After eating and resting for a while, they started to head to the venue, because all the clothes, cosmetics, etc. had to be taken there today. Especially the concert clothes, after arriving, they had to take each one out for Li Zhien to try again to see if they needed to make final modifications.
After getting up in the morning, Zhang Pingan exercised, and then went to the digital city to buy some equipment...
