Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1300 Just the right show

  On this trip to Germany, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting not only confirmed the wedding venue, but also confirmed the date of the wedding. The preparation of the hardware and materials for the wedding can be handed over to the people in the studio planning department to be responsible and handled. The list of invited guests is determined by the parties themselves.

  After returning from Germany, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s next task was to draw up a list of guests invited to the wedding. The wedding is not a matter of two people, but a matter of the two families. The guest list is not entirely determined by Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. The parents and elders of the two people are also involved.

  Under normal circumstances, the wedding guest list of a Chinese family is drawn up separately according to the man and the woman, while the wedding of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting is drawn up according to the generation. After the wedding venue is determined, the number of guests that can be invited is naturally determined. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting scored the total number of guests. They listed the guests they would like to invite. Xiao Yao's parents and Sun Tingting's parents each drafted their relatives and the guests they wanted to invite, and finally came to summarize them.

  With the current fame of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting and the status of Xiao Sun’s family in the Chinese entertainment industry, even if the wedding of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not plan to invite the media to live broadcast, it would not worry that no one would come. On the contrary, because of the venue and the wishes of the two families, the two families did not intend to invite too many guests, so the choice of the guest must be carefully selected.

  The two families are both performing artists in the China Performing Arts Circle. Naturally, the number of celebrity artists in the candidate list is the largest.

Needless to say, Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan, and Zhou Zhihao’s petty buddies, Xu Fei, Chen Xiaoting, Xu Liang, and Qin Hao’s long-time friends and roommates and classmates, and even the artists of Qi Jia Studio, such as Hong Wei, Liang Xueying, He Ying, Huang Shi, and Su Chengying have cooperated more often, and stars with better personal relationships are naturally listed. In the future, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting will have a little trouble.

  The embarrassment for Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting is mainly that those Xiao Yao only met once or twice in variety shows or events, and did not cooperate in the follow-up, nor can they talk about too many personal acquaintances. Xiao Yao's debut time is not short, and there are quite a few celebrities who can be called general acquaintances in programs or activities.

  If you want to say please please, Xiao Yao is not worried that others will not come, but the wedding venue and resources are limited, they can't invite so many people, and Xiao Yao doesn't want to really invite half of the entertainment circle. If you say no, the venue discussed at Neuschwanstein Castle is not small. On the whole, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s wedding must be larger than that of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, except for those that are definitely necessary. Yes, there are indeed some extra places.

In fact, there is a simple way, that is, among these celebrities who have relatively ordinary personal relationships, arrange them in order of fame and the size of the coffee positions in the circle. From the beginning to the end, please go there. If you have something to do, you can’t attend. Later, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not want to adopt this seemingly more "utilitarian" approach.

Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting have already listed the newcomers who have better personal relationships, such as Xu Liang and Qin Hao, who are less well-known, but the method of sorting among people with ordinary personal relationships is actually not so "utilitarian", but the two People still don't want to adopt it.

   "Should we invite some ordinary people to come?" After the discussion, when the two of them could not come down, Sun Tingting suddenly made a suggestion.

   "Ordinary people? You mean fans?" Xiao Yao understood Sun Tingting's meaning at once.

   "Yes!" Sun Tingting smiled, "Your life's major events, please invite fans who support you to witness it on the spot, how great!"

   "Not good!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "I don't think it's a good idea to get fans and stars together!"

"Why?" Sun Tingting was a little surprised. "Didn't you bring fans to engage in offline events? Besides, we have all been to your fans' weddings. It should be okay to invite some of your fans to our wedding, right? "

"I haven't done a few offline events. What's important is that in those events, I am the only star." Xiao Yao said, "Our wedding is not just me or the stars of our two families. I can guarantee I don’t even have a celebrity profile in our two families. I don’t mind being with fans, but what about other celebrities?"

"We go to fan weddings to help fans perform. We can leave after watching their ceremony. But fans come to our wedding. We ask them to leave after watching the ceremony. Don't let them participate in other parts? "Xiao Yao continued, "If they want to participate in the entire wedding process, there will always be free time. First of all, I can't guarantee that every fan who comes will be restrained and disciplined, and will not look for other stars. Even my fans are all. The performance is very good, and there is no guarantee that other celebrity guests won't mind watching fans running around over there."

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "Our wedding is in Germany. We need to apply for a visa to go to Germany. We can cover round-trip air tickets and board and lodging. We can't even handle visas for them, right? Most fans are ordinary people. , The visa pass rate should not be as high as that of celebrities. Even if they can find travel agencies and other agencies to apply for travel visas, but after they go, how can they be separated from the team and act alone? They have to stay there for several days, other times they are there. Can Germany adapt? We can’t be a babysitter for a few days, can we? How do we choose the fans? Is it only among the fans who can go to Germany? Will it make them feel unfair? There are too many questions, so, or forget it!"

   "Yes!" Sun Tingting thought for a while, nodded helplessly.

"I know, you always remember that when we went to the wedding of the pair of my fans, we received the bouquet thrown by the bride," Xiao Yao looked at Sun Tingting's expression and smiled, "Do you feel that you have been affected by them? Blessings, would you like to express it?"

   "Yes!" Sun Tingting nodded and admitted.

  From the wedding scene of the pair of fans, Sun Tingting took the bouquet back home all the way, and she showed a certain envy at the time. Sun Tingting knew that Xiao Yao had noticed at that time, and later even thought that Xiao Yao first appeared to propose to her at that time, so she was not afraid to admit it at this time.

   "If you really want to thank them or give them back, we can change the method!" Xiao Yao said.

  "How to return?" Sun Tingting asked.

   "The artist returns to the fans, of course it is to perform for them!" Xiao Yao said.

  "At the wedding?" Sun Tingting was surprised, "Just invite them? Find someone to accompany them? Then perform for them at the wedding as a thank you? Isn't that appropriate?"

   "Of course it's not appropriate!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I said another way, of course it is not to invite them to the wedding."

"We go to their wedding to perform for them, to accompany the bridegroom, to give them surprises and gifts." Xiao Yao continued, "Our wedding does not need them to give us any surprises, why have to ask them? They come to the wedding scene? We are newcomers, and we perform for the fans at the wedding scene? That is too hypocritical! We can also prepare a special performance for the fans and do it in China. Not only can we invite them to the scene, but also Invite a lot of fans to the scene."

   "When?" Sun Tingting asked.

"Before the wedding!" Xiao Yao said, "Now there are almost two months before the wedding. We don't need to do many things personally. In fact, there is still a lot of free time. There is more than enough time to prepare a performance, even more than one. It’s not impossible to run ten games and eight games."

   "Ten games and eight games?" Sun Tingting said, "Aren't you going to have a concert tour before the wedding?"

"No!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It is enough to have a concert tour in two months, but it is definitely not enough from preparation to execution. We have no plans and preparations for this before. I will just say that, I just plan Have a game."

   "Where are you going to do it?" Sun Tingting said, "You have a lot of fans, so why do you have the entire open-air stadium? It's not easy to make, do we have enough time and energy?"

"Why do you have to have a concert in the open-air stadium?" Xiao Yao laughed, "The largest venue for our Huaxia concert is tens of thousands of seats, right? I'm not boasting, I just hold the concert alone, and 100,000 tickets are not enough to grab. Yes, let alone you are with you. Since it is always impossible to satisfy all the fans, it is better not to do so on a large scale."

"I always think that although the atmosphere of the concert is good, it is inferior to small venues such as Livehouse in terms of audio-visual effects and interaction with the audience." Xiao Yao continued, "So I plan to stay in LiveHouse, etc. It’s a small venue, please a professional filming team to record the entire performance and post it online for free to fans and netizens."

   "Just like your LiveHouse tour that year?" Sun Tingting smiled, "You really like LiveHouse! Why don't we open our own one in the future?"

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "But I don't care if I drive in the future, let you take care of it!"

"But this time is a little different from the last tour," Xiao Yao continued after laughing. "We only do one this time, just to have fun with the fans before the wedding and have fun, so I I think we will not sell tickets this time. All on-site tickets will be given free of charge. Except for two for the couple you received the bouquet, the other tickets will be given randomly. We let all those who want to come sign up online, and then randomly draw , Vote for whoever gets the draw."

   "Okay, I like this idea!" Sun Tingting smiled, "If we do this, the fans must be very happy!"

   "Actually, free tickets are also a compensation for them!" Xiao Yao laughed.

   "Huh?" Sun Tingting was taken aback for a moment and asked, "You mean we are married, some fans will be sad? I thought we were together for so many years, the fans would have accepted it a long time ago."

"No, I mean, it's compensation for them being stuffed with dog food!" Xiao Yao smiled, "We are getting married, how sweet and happy, so I plan to sing all of this performance. A sweeter love song. It is estimated that many people will say that we are spreading dog food wildly!"

   "Ha!" Sun Tingting also laughed, "Should we state that only the other half can apply for tickets online? So that the singles are not too excited!"

   "I think if we really declare this, your sentence may be more harmful to singles than our performance!" Xiao Yao smiled.

  Decided to put on a show for the fans, so naturally he must prepare accordingly. For Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, you don't need to do things like contacting the venue and issuing notices in person, just tell the people in the studio to handle them.

  For musicians, Qi Jia Studio has signed a band that specializes in live performances for its singers. Xiao Yao has also worked with them, which is a ready-made choice, but Xiao Yao does not know whether the band will have a schedule by then. But even if the band has already taken over the work, there will be no schedule at that time, and it will not be difficult to find other musicians. Although Xiaoyao Studio and Qijia Studio are run by the same family, on the surface they will still follow the formal process of cooperation. Determine the schedule of musicians in Qijia Studio or find other musicians, the same can be handed over to the person in the studio.

  What Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting have to do is to decide which city the performance venue will be in, at what time, what repertoire to perform at that time, and make time to rehearse with the musicians after confirming the musicians.

  The city of performance venues is basically a choice between Yanjing and Shencheng. For the convenience of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting to discuss the wedding with their parents at any time, they stayed in Yanjing during this time, and the city chose Yanjing. As for the time of the performance, it was chosen in late August before the start of school, mainly for the convenience of student fans.

  The contact party still told the plan, and after telling the selected city and approximate time, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting reinvested their energy on drawing up the guest list and deciding on the repertoire.

  Only a day later, Xiao Yao received Fang Still’s reply. Although Fang is still very capable of working with the people in Xiao Yao’s studio, he can manage the venue, equipment, and musicians in just one day. This efficiency is beyond Xiao Yao’s expectation. Was taken aback.

  After listening to Fang Still’s reply, Xiao Yao knew why Fang still handled these things so quickly. It turned out that Xiao Yao's studio did not actually do much work, but someone took the initiative to come to the door.

  Fang still received Xiao Yao's planned task, and then assigned the work to relevant personnel in the studio.

  As for the musicians, due to the relationship between Xiao Yao and Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, the people in the studio were the first to contact the musicians of the band that specializes in live accompaniment for singers in Qi Jia studio.

  One of the drummers of that band has a living, but the time is not very certain. The drummer went to discuss this matter with his employer.

  The employer of the drummer is a program group under Haiyan’s video. The program produced by this program group is called "Sound of Events", and the content of the program is to promote China's original music and independent music through high-quality live performances.

  This show has a total of twelve episodes. Each episode invites a well-known or lesser-known original singer or independent musician with strong live performance ability to record a performance and broadcast it on Haiyan video. The production cycle and broadcasting cycle of this program are very long, the interval between recording and broadcasting of each period ranges from half a month to one month, and it will last about ten months.

  The singers invited to this show have strong on-site abilities, but some have their own accompaniment bands, and some do not. The drummer in Qijia Studio is a long-term drummer hired by that program group. As long as there is no drummer of his own, that drummer is the drummer in the live performance. The program group has not recorded a program in August, but there are plans to record it. According to the plan, there is no drummer for the singer in this issue, and that drummer must be available at that time, but the specific recording time of that issue has not been determined yet, so the drummer has to discuss with the program group.

  Xiao Yao is an original musician and a leader among the younger generation. His ability to perform live has also been tested and proven by countless times. There is no doubt. In the planning stage of this show, Xiao Yao was originally an ideal candidate for a single-period performer for the show group. The show group once had the idea of ​​inviting Xiao Yao.

It’s just that, compared to the music talent show of some TV stations and video websites, this program is not very well-known and influential. Although there are some well-known musicians among the invited guests, it’s because of creators and independent musicians. The overall reputation of the guests is not very high. On the other hand, since the beginning of the year, Xiao Yao’s affairs and news have been constant. First, the movie "Donkey Gets Water" was released for publicity, then the TV series project was approved, and then he entered the group to film, and then went to the United States. The program team has not contacted Xiao. remote.

  After hearing that the drummer from Qijia Studio had said Xiao Yao’s plan, the program group immediately added Xiao Yao to the guest list of their program.

  Xiao Yao only performed one time. Their program was originally for each musician or singer to perform one time. Xiao Yao needs venues, equipment, and musicians, and these program groups are readily available. Xiao Yao wants to record the performance and put it on the Internet for free for fans to watch. Their program is originally a Haiyan video program, and it is a free program. It does not need to be paid, and it can be watched without members. In addition to the dozens of seconds of advertising in the front, it is for netizens. It is no different from free videos. As for Xiao Yao's statement that the performance time should be in August, the program team felt that it would not be a problem to postpone the recording time of the next few singers, so he took the initiative to find Fang and still offered this invitation.

  Fang still listened to the introduction of the program group, and learned about the program, and found that almost every aspect met Xiao Yao's requirements. If Xiao Yao agreed to record the show, without having to spend time and effort in the studio to help him prepare for the show, the effect might be better, so he immediately reported the situation to Xiao Yao.
