Cen Yuhai noticed that his assistant director Li Maoxiao looked confused. He sighed and explained patiently:
"For a variety show director, having strong stars to participate in his variety show is the most important thing, followed by ensuring ratings. These two are a director's business card in the industry.
For a variety show, the two complement each other.
For a star like Chen Minhao who has both works and popularity, he has no shortage of invitations to variety shows. Based on past experience, this type of stars tend to choose variety shows with guaranteed ratings, so the ratings of the program are very important.
As for the so-called variety show stars, almost no star is willing to admit that he is a variety show star. All stars are unwilling to admit that they became popular because of their characters and variety shows. They prefer to flaunt that they have works and strength. So for them, they will give priority to variety shows with powerful stars like Chen Minhao and Yao Yiyi.
Inviting variety show celebrities will add laughter and drama to the show, which will help increase the ratings of variety shows.
So on the one hand, we need to constantly build a good relationship with powerful stars like Chen Minhao. On the other hand, we have to keep inviting variety show stars, but inviting them is ultimately to invite powerful stars.
Why is Teacher He so awesome? On the one hand, his hosting skills are good, but on the other hand, more importantly, he has connections and can invite powerful stars. So after the show ends, say hello to Chen Minhao and at least look familiar. "
Assistant director Li Maoxiao nodded thoughtfully: "Thank you, Brother Hai, for the tip."
Director Cen Yuhai smiled and turned his eyes to the stage again.
Teacher He turned to Yao Yiyi and asked: "Yiyi, your album will be officially launched next month, right? You must be very busy recently, right?"
Yao Yiyi replied with a smile: "I've been very busy recently. I was very busy during song recording and MV shooting some time ago. Now I can finally relax a little."
Kang Qian asked: "Yiyi, do you have any special hobbies? What do you mainly do in your spare time?"
"As a hobby, does yoga count? I recently took a certificate as a yoga instructor. In my free time, I mainly listen to music." Yao Yiyi smiled shyly, "Recently, I listen to more songs by Chen Minhao."
Kang Qian asked excitedly: "So Yiyi, which song in Chen Minhao's album do you like to listen to the most?"
"See You Again."
Yao Yiyi's answer made Chen Minhao breathe a sigh of relief.
Yao Yiyi's answers about her hobbies and leisure time were marked in the script as allowing her to express herself freely.
The director who wrote the script considered that Yao Yiyi might answer: listening to songs in her spare time, but they did not expect that Yao Yiyi would listen to Chen Minhao's songs in her spare time.
Chen Minhao was a little worried about Yao Yiyi's answer just now. Her favorite song is "Later", after all, she said so backstage.
According to the script, when this episode of "Happy Family" is coming to an end, Chen Minhao will sing a song. The song was originally scheduled to be "See You Agian".
For the singing part, director Cen Yuhai suggested that Chen Minhao choose a half-on mic.
There is a big difference between full open wheat and half open wheat.
I won’t go into details about full open mic, which means that there is only background accompaniment, which is a test of the singer’s ability. The final singing effect may not be as good as the original sound, but it may also be better than the original sound.
Semi-open mic means that the accompaniment is accompanied by the original sound. The singer saves effort when singing and the effect is better.
Pre-recording means that no matter how well you sing live, when the program is broadcast, the sound played will be the version that was originally recorded in the studio. The studio pre-recording will be different from the original CD version, which is not easy to change. The audience could tell it was pre-recorded.
And lip-synching means that the microphone has no sound. Either the singer lip-synched, or the singer sang so that only he could hear it. The final broadcast version was also a live recording without the singer.
From the perspective of sincerity, full open mic > half open mic > pre-recorded > lip sync.
In variety shows, most of them are half-open. Many people think that half-opening the mic means real singing, just real singing with the original sound turned on.
Using a half-mic method may be helpful for short-term singing effects, but Chen Minhao can see from the attitudes of Wu Hongrong and Cao Tian, the owner of Yayang Recording Studio, how disgusted the music giants in the industry are to half-mic.
Chen Minhao wants to go far in the music industry in the future, so it is not worth the gain to tarnish himself for the sake of temporary effects.
Chen Minhao has been working hard to improve his singing skills in the past six months, but he still cannot achieve 100% perfect performance in every song. Therefore, Chen Minhao plans to sing "See You Agian" with full open mic at the venue.
On the one hand, the difficulty of singing this song is relatively low. Moreover, this is an English song. Not everyone understands English, and the audience’s expectations of singers are much lower.
On the other hand, the song "See you again" may be because there is no movie about the past life, there is no story about the past life, or perhaps because the other songs in the album "Farewell" are so good, so although this song is relatively popular, it is not as popular as the past life. Comparing, there is still a big gap. At least there is potential to be tapped in overseas markets. Chen Minhao's team plans to promote this song to pave the way for Chen Minhao's internationalization.
The brisk guitar sound sounded, starting the prelude of the song.
"It's been a long day without you my friend.
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We've come a long way from where we began.
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again"
Chen Minhao speaks clearly and without an accent, and the first few sentences firmly attract the audience's attention. The audience in the audience looked at Chen Minhao on the stage who was immersed in the performance, his body swaying slightly to the music.
Program director's room.
Many people were humming softly along with Chen Minhao's rhythm. A staff member said excitedly: "This time we have Chen Minhao and Yao Yiyi as guests, and the program effect is also very good. Yao Yiyi likes Chen Minhao's songs, which is very good." If it’s topical, the ratings may explode in the end.”
Assistant director Li Maoxiao was as happy as a flower and said: "Every time Chen Minhao comes, he brings a ratings climax. Chen Minhao rarely participates in variety shows. From now on, if Chen Minhao comes to our "Happy Family" once every quarter, Maybe we can return to the top spot as the number one variety show.”
Cen Yuhai sighed quietly, thinking that it was still more comfortable when he was an assistant director. He didn't have to take responsibility and just did things. You can still be a little naive at work.
Cen Yuhai knew very well: As Chen Minhao's popularity increases, it will become increasingly difficult to invite him in the future.
After the recording of the program ended, Chen Minhao took a group photo with several TV station staff and then went to the dressing room to change clothes.
After Chen Minhao changed his clothes and opened the door, he saw Yao Yiyi standing at the door: "Chen Minhao, what a coincidence, I have just changed my clothes. Are you going to the airport too? Let's go together, just in time to discuss the concert together. "
