Chapter 992 Production Direction
On the other hand, after listening to the demo sung by Jiang Yuan, Deng Ge's emotions fluctuated greatly, and he sent Jiang Yuan a lot of messages expressing his feelings after listening to the songs.
At the same time, there are great expectations for the EP that Jiang Yuan is preparing to produce, which uses rain as the main concept.
After all, judging from the tonality of the first song, Deng Ge came up with the idea that this EP might become a masterpiece of emo.
As for the release time of the EP, although there has been no discussion yet, Deng Ge also feels that it will be a very suitable background music for the graduation season, and he can't wait to start working on this EP.
From the perspective of a producer, Deng Ge is deeply involved in the production of every album of Jiang Yuan. He inevitably has a sense of sharing the honor and wants to complete this EP within the schedule he has envisioned.
However, at this time, Jiang Yuan had arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Li Xiaoyue and others, so he had no time to discuss this issue with Deng Ge, so he put it aside and did not respond.
Deng Ge has become accustomed to the speed at which Jiang Yuan replies to messages.
Knowing that Jiang Yuan would definitely check the message reply when he was free, after sending what he wanted to express, he put on his headphones again and started listening to Jiang Yuan's demo.
I mainly listened to the demo's accompaniment tape carefully.
Jiang Yuan basically uses the keyboard to play the demo accompaniment, and he always makes the accompaniment about 80 to 90 points good every time.
What Deng Ge mainly needs to worry about is finding the appropriate musicians to complete the recording of different tracks. At the same time, he is also imagining what kind of mixing techniques should be used in post-production to match the songs.
I just listened carefully for a moment, then let Deng Ge listen to it for myself, and entered the emotional state evoked by the song.
The conversation location was agreed in advance. Jiang Yuan looked at the conference room he was in with some surprise.
Located on one of the floors of the Star City TV building.
"This conference room should be full of veteran actors, right?" Jiang Yuan looked around and asked Li Xiaoyue curiously.
"Yes, many programs have recorded meeting and discussion scenes here." Li Xiaoyue nodded, obviously watching a lot of variety shows on weekdays.
"I just said it looked familiar." Jiang Yuan nodded in understanding.
Then he took out the folder he had prepared in advance and gestured to Li Xiaoyue, "Then let's talk about the program first?"
"Okay, I'm probably interested after hearing you talk about it before."
Li Xiaoyue was originally paying attention to the studio employees and platform leaders who were discussing other more specific cooperation matters not far away. After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, her eyes suddenly brightened a lot.
Although the production and broadcasting of a program are issues that can determine the survival of a variety show.
But as a variety show host, Li Xiaoyue is more interested in the show itself.
The concept that Jiang Yuan had roughly described earlier had already aroused Li Xiaoyue's interest.
He almost couldn't wait to take the folder from Jiang Yuan and started looking through it.
After Li Xiaoyue began to read the information attentively, Jiang Yuan did not disturb her for the time being, but instead observed the changes in Li Xiaoyue's expression.
After all, sometimes everyone's expressions may be modified to a certain extent, but the subtle changes in expressions at such times are still hard to deceive.
From Jiang Yuan's perspective, Li Xiaoyue took the document with anticipation and looked through it, with her brows relaxed the entire time. Noticing this made Jiang Yuan feel a lot more relaxed.
Jiang Yuan sat there and relaxed for a moment. On one side of his ears was the crisp sound of pages turning as Li Xiaoyue was flipping through the materials, and on the other side was the professional discussion between Zhang Qing and others and the production team.
It wasn't until Li Xiaoyue on the other side put down the folder in her hand that Jiang Yuan came back to his senses and asked, "How is it?"
"It's a bit surprising." Li Xiaoyue seemed in a good mood after reading the information.
"I've indeed never thought about this type of program before." Li Xiaoyue said with some emotion.
The last time we met, Jiang Yuan mentioned that he had an idea to produce a new music variety show.
When they first heard about it, even Jiang Yuan and Li Xiaoyue felt that it would be difficult to come up with any new models for music variety shows.
However, as long as a music variety show has a certain relationship with Jiang Yuan, it will be enough to become a hit in the music variety show industry.
This has become an industry consensus. For example, those who are currently eagerly discussing the specific details of cooperation with Zhang Qing and others are basically attracted by Jiang Yuan's name.
Only Li Xiaoyue was really interested in the program model proposed by Jiang Yuan.
"There should be a market for it, right?" After getting confirmation, Jiang Yuan continued to ask Li Xiaoyue.
The program that Jiang Yuansheng came up with the idea of producing this time was a music program he had seen before.
Probably in a place where many passers-by dine or gather, pretending to play the singer's performance video.
But what is actually played is the audio and video of the singer's live performance.
Halfway through the performance, the singer will appear in front of the audience in a surprising way to achieve a surprise effect.
The program envisioned by Jiang Yuan was derived from this program.
I was thinking of recreating some classic live looks, and then having the singers appear in front of passersby, or even fans, in more classic looks.
"As long as it can be successfully produced, it will definitely happen."
"However, this kind of program format still requires a very high level of singers." Zhang Qing said after thinking for a while.
After all, if you want the audience to not notice that it is a live performance, the first requirement is that the singer should be able to stably produce the same effect as a CD during the live performance.
This determines that the participants of the program must be singers with powerful singing skills.
At the same time, if one wants to replicate some classic live performances, that also requires the singer to have a stage that is surprising enough to replicate.
"That's true, but the selection of guests for the show is a problem."
"I can try to invite a few people." Jiang Yuan said after thinking for a while.
When Jiang Yuan thought of producing this program, he had already thought of the names of several singers and had accumulated some connections.
"And we can also invite some foreign singers." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and added.
Hearing what Jiang Yuan said, Li Xiaoyue was also cheered up, as she was the director who had followed the show all the way to complete the production of "Yuanyouhui".
Li Xiaoyue knew very well the level of the singers that Jiang Yuan wanted to try to invite.
Regardless of the novelty of the program format, the sheer combination of the lineup alone can make for an attractive program. "The other major issue that needs to be resolved is how to record the show."
"If we filmed and broadcast it in China, maybe a lot of viewers would have watched it after just two episodes. If we recorded it on site again, the effect might not be the same."
Now that the decision has been made to start production, the issues that Li Xiaoyue is thinking about have become more specific.
"I have also thought about this and now have some general ideas." Jiang Yuan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
"At the moment, I am thinking that we can select some cities in China for surprise recordings in the first few episodes, and then we can go abroad for the rest of the time."
“For example, if we invite foreign guests, we can hold the event in the guest’s hometown.” Jiang Yuan roughly shared his ideas with Li Xiaoyue.
"That's a good idea." Li Xiaoyue nodded, and at the same time, she wrote some key words on the notebook with the pen in her hand.
What Jiang Yuan proposed to share today can only be regarded as a direction of thought in Li Xiaoyue's view.
It is not possible to start filming the program immediately. The entire production team needs to weigh various factors before they can officially finalize the recording method of the program.
"If we proceed in this way, it should be feasible."
"The rest is about how many episodes the program will be produced in total and how long each episode will be." Li Xiaoyue also quickly began to figure out some details about the program.
But basically, the answers could not be obtained in a short period of time on the same day.
After meeting and discussing with Jiang Yuan today, Li Xiaoyue felt that she had gained a lot.
At least the program idea proposed by Jiang Yuan really surprised me.
"I'll ask later and tell you which singers can be invited." Jiang Yuan said to Li Xiaoyue.
The main reason was that I thought about it seriously. If I really proceed with the production according to the ideas I proposed, it would be difficult to find so many permanent singers besides myself.
Not to mention other things, just the fact that you can go to foreign cities to record is already a restriction.
For example, if a singer who is not well-known abroad showed such an expression in front of some passers-by, people's reactions would probably be just a little surprise, and it would be difficult to reach the kind of particularly shocked reaction.
"Okay, after more specific cooperation is finalized, I will also try to draw up an invitation list, and maybe invite some singers."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyue also nodded and turned her head to glance at Zhang Qing and others who were still having a lively conversation.
In Li Xiaoyue's opinion, under the banner of Jiang Yuan, and the fact that this program is destined to be a big IP and high-traffic project once it starts, it will surely attract some heavyweight singers to participate.
"I will discuss with the team members later how to improve the production model of the program. I may contact you more often at that time." Li Xiaoyue pondered for a moment and continued to say to Jiang Yuan.
After hearing Li Xiaoyue's speech about taking over the program, Jiang Yuan drank a sip of coffee and felt more comfortable. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can contact me anytime later."
As for the production of the program, it is not easy for Jiang Yuan to come up with the general concept and model to this point, after all, he is not a professional in this area.
Now that Li Xiaoyue is in charge of the follow-up of the project, Jiang Yuan feels a lot more relieved. He is quite confident in Li Xiaoyue's ability to produce programs.
During the rest of the time, Li Xiaoyue basically kept asking Jiang Yuan questions.
At the end of the discussion, the materials that Jiang Yuan had prepared earlier were also filled with Li Xiaoyue's handwriting.
Li Xiaoyue also asked a variety of questions regarding some of the more vague concepts raised by Jiang Yuan.
Only after Jiang Yuan’s memories of some fragments of programs from his previous life were emptied did Li Xiaoyue stop with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
At this time, Jiang Yuan already regretted telling Li Xiaoyue that she could contact him anytime later.
I always feel that when we officially start to improve the program production, we will face bombardment from Li Xiaoyue and even the entire program team.
At about the same time, Zhang Qing and others also negotiated some details of the cooperation.
Although he hadn't asked yet, Jiang Yuan observed the expression between Zhang Qing's eyebrows and could roughly judge that the conversation should be going well.
Overall, this cooperation was negotiated relatively smoothly and both parties are very satisfied.
After Jiang Yuan left with the team, Li Xiaoyue was also ready to focus on this new variety show with her team.
The program that Li Xiaoyue was originally producing did not need to be monitored as closely as before because the format had been perfected.
On the contrary, it was the new proposal given by Jiang Yuan that gave Li Xiaoyue some hope for further growth.
After finishing the conversation, Jiang Yuan took the nanny car to the airport.
The conversation with Li Xiaoyue and others was Jiang Yuan’s last itinerary in Xingcheng.
Originally, after this trip, Jiang Yuan could return to Shanghai to rest for two or three days.
However, because the plan to produce a rainy season EP was proposed at the last minute, I could only set aside some time in the next two or three days to produce the EP.
On the way to the airport, Jiang Yuan also began to check some of the messages that Deng Ge had sent him during the meeting.
The amount of information was so large that it was enough to show that Deng Ge was really bombarding himself with messages during this period of time.
However, because I temporarily set Deng Ge’s messages to be do-not-disturb, I avoided this bombardment.
I roughly looked through the message Deng Ge left for me. In addition to the repo of the song, he also roughly broke down the entire song and mixed in his own production ideas, such as mixing opinions, which coincided with some of Jiang Yuan's ideas.
It is true that after working together for a long time, we have developed a certain tacit understanding.
In addition, Deng Ge also gave Jiang Yuan a rough plan for the production cycle of the EP. I don’t know who he asked for the schedule from and made the arrangements to match the schedule.
"The time planning is good. We have the same idea about the release plan."
Jiang Yuan showed Deng Pavilion's plan to Zhang Qing and received his approval.
After confirming with Zhang Qing, Jiang Yuan also replied to Deng Ge with an OK expression. As for Deng Ge's curiosity about other songs in the EP, he planned to play the demo for Deng Ge directly after returning to Shanghai.
Deng Ge received Jiang Yuan’s message and quickly replied with an expectant emoticon.
Afterwards, Jiang Yuan also talked to Deng Ge about some things related to the new program.
