Chapter 140 The stage is yours

The MV of "Singer's Love Song" is really just an ordinary LIVE video. In Ye Zhao's words, it is "as simple as pinching rice balls". There is no audience, no storyline, and no band. There is only a singer holding a guitar, sitting on a high stool, singing in front of the vertical microphone.

If I forcefully explain it, since the theme of the song is "the singer's love song", the absolute protagonist is of course the singer himself.

During the entire MV shooting, Watanabe Rik stood in the audience and looked at Ye Zhao on the stage with a look of "My family has a younger brother to grow up". When the director of the MV announced that the filming was over, Watanabe Rik took the lead in applause, "It's so wonderful, Ye Jun."

Ye Zhao put down his guitar, "I'm too rewarded, Brother Watanabe."

That afternoon, Ye Aki, who finished filming at less than four o'clock, failed to agree to Watanabe Lu's invitation to stay for dinner. Naturally, he did not see Watanabe Lu's wife Naoko Asakura. Although he visited their club but did not say hello to the hostess, he had only met Naoko Asakura two or three times and had no friendship. So that's fine.

When Watanabe Lu sent them to the station, he said with regret, "I originally wanted to do my best to the landlords and invite you to enjoy an authentic Kansai cuisine. There are many differences in the eating habits of Tokyo and Kansai."

"About this, I have heard others say that Kansai must be served with rice, whether it is Osaka or Octopus." Ye Zhao scraped his stomach and remembered this. Regarding this "knowledge", he knew about this from a Kansai Hei Pi when he was a primary school student in his previous life. He couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

"Isn't it natural to eat Osaka roast with rice?" Watanabe said in a tone of course. "When I went to eat assorted roast with my friends in Tokyo for the first time, I ordered an extra bowl of rice, which was taken as a strange habit. Then I answered him, 'Isn't it natural?'."

"This is the so-called geographical difference." Ye Zhao smiled.

...

I bought a JR tram ticket at the station. About 40 minutes later, Ye Zhao and his party got off at Osaka Station, then transferred to the subway line Four Bridges, got off at Feihouqiao Station, and left exit from Exit 2. It only took two or three minutes to walk to see the destination building.

Osaka Festival hall is a concert hall located in the Festival Tower. It was built and put into use as early as 1958. Because its sound effects are very good, many symphony orchestras and musical troupes regard it as a treasure land for performances.

It is not too easy to hold a concert. It is a matter of taking it for granted when imagining, but it is difficult to actually do it. In addition to making appointments for the venue in advance, in terms of employment, the first thing to do is to raise the band team on site. Although BEING's singers are low-key, the concerts still have to be held. Although BEING has many musicians, they have to sit in a row. If the staff is not good at it for a while, they have to ask for support from the outside.

Once the band team has a team, he still has to set up a harmony staff and book the photographer, videographer, security staff and on-site maintenance staff on the day of the concert in advance. Fortunately, he is a rock singer, so he has saved the dancer's part.

To solve the problem of people, we must go to the step of formulating the detailed concert process in advance. For example, how to arrange the lighting and audio on the scene, how to design the stage, the appearance of singers and bands, as well as some time nodes, etc.

Stage design and other things are easy to say, because BEING is simple and unpretentious, and the venues are all small venues, there is basically no need to worry too much. The only thing that needs to be carefully checked is the time node.

For example, the concerts that Ye Zhao is about to hold are one and a half hours in terms of time. If you deduct the opening and encore sessions of the opening, how long does a song last, how to arrange the specific song order, which song starts after the end of LIVE TALK, how long does it take to end, and whether you need to change clothes in the middle, these must be strictly followed by time.

In addition, in order to prevent accidents before the performance begins, after deciding this preferred plan, an additional emergency plan must be prepared to avoid any accidents on the spot after something really happens.

In addition to these necessary preparations in the early stage, as a singer, Ye Zhao must protect his voice and body during the period before the concert, participate in the design around the concert, and confirm the performance process and stage effect.

As the time for the concert is getting closer and closer, the staff must install and debug the lighting, audio and other equipment in the venue, the musicians must re-record the song accompaniment, and the effect of the stage must be confirmed in advance. At this time, Ye Zhao must also transfer the main battlefield to the concert venue for rehearsal before the official opening.

It can be said that until the last Hibiya Noyin was finished, his daily life was very busy.

These things that he felt very troublesome when he listened to them were just three venues and five concerts. They were not the kind of national tour that took nearly a year to travel to forty-seven prefectures. There was no such profound feeling before, but now when he actually experienced it, Ye Zhao deeply realized how hard it was to be a tour maniac like Name Amuro Namemi. Especially since she is a singer and dancer, she consumes more physical strength in each concert than he does purely singing. I don’t know how much.

Today is the day for routine equipment inspections in the venue, and there are no scheduled performances, so they were able to enter the venue.

Although he came to Osaka under the banner of field investigation, for Ye Zhao, at this stage, there is no place for him as a singer. What he can do is to step on the stage and feel the feeling of standing on it.

...Asolutely, that feeling was really wonderful.

No matter how small a person is, as long as he stands here and looks at the audience, he will feel like he is at the center. He remembers the performances he has watched, the musicians on the stage, and the audience who enjoys the show, and now, he is about to become the protagonist of this stage.

Although this venue is just a small venue that can accommodate 2,700 people, it is like climbing the first step of his singer's path. Starting with this, slowly conquering one boss after another until he stands on the stage of the Tokyo Dome.

No wonder people who dream of getting admitted to a certain university will visit the university they like. This feeling of being in the ground is the simplest and most rude way to cheer themselves up.

"Ye Zhaosang, please come here first. Now we have to take photos and measure the stage." Ueda reminded.

"Understand! Let's get down now." Ye Zhao quickly put away his thoughts, got off the stage, and sat down in the fourth row in the middle.

Another staff member named Gaoshan who was traveling with him asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"

"Very perfect." Ye Zhao looked at the stage, "I feel impatient now."
