Chapter 125: Concert Rehearsal
Practice brings out the truth. Many things are never learned in textbooks.
===========================
After coming down from the Great Wall, the three of them returned to the near company and had a simple meal. Kang Jae-hee took the two to the Capital Gymnasium, where An Qi-hyun held the concert.
Although I don’t know what my teacher asked me to learn, what Kang Jae-hee can be sure of is that when I come here, I will always learn something.
This concert was the first stop of An Qixuan's love tour. He promised that all the tickets for the concert would be donated to children in the mountains. This move has suddenly increased An Qixuan's reputation in the mainland.
As the first generation idol and Yuanzu idol, An Qixuan has always been very well-known. Although the revenue from the concert will be donated, the income from a concert is compared with the reputation and image in the mainland. S.M Company calculates it very clearly.
Without income, it does not mean that this concert will be hasty. The audio system is rented from France's top system V-DOSC. This audio system was only used once in the capital concert of the famous French artist Jaer in that era.
The lighting used in the concert is designed by the top Korean lighting artists. The stage design is also designed and built by a professional team. An Qixuan himself serves as the music director of the concert. He is responsible for the song arrangement, music connection and selection of the entire concert.
When Kang Jae-hee and the other two arrived, they saw the stage being nervously built, and An Qi-hyun was also wearing casual clothes and talking to the staff with her laptop.
After seeing Kang Jae-hee coming, he waved his hand to let him come over. Kang Jae-hee asked the two girls to sit in the audience to rest first. Most of the staff here in Beijing knew Kim Hyo-yeon and would not mistakenly think it was fans or something. The two girls sat there with peace of mind and watched all this curiously.
After seeing Kang Jae-hee coming, Ahn Qi-hyun said to Kang Jae-hee: "The director Yu Yongzhen means to let you follow me, and I don't know what he asked you to learn. Just follow me. You can't greet you at this time. This concert is very important and cannot be missed. So, do you understand?"
Kang Jae-hee said, "I know, it won't affect you, Brother Kangta. I can help you run errands, just say." Since Ahn Qi-hyun doesn't know, there must be nothing wrong with following him anyway.
An Qi-hyun nodded with satisfaction and continued to discuss the stage arrangement with the staff. He was very satisfied with Kang Jae-hee's positioning. No matter how optimistic he is to Kang Jae-hee's future, now, Kang Jae-hee is just a trainee, and she is a rookie among trainees, not even an artist. If he really thinks he is a character, patting his chest and saying that there is something, he will definitely help. An Qi-hyun will have a much lower impression of him, and will even contact Yu Yong-jin and suggest giving up Kang Jae-hee. After all, Kang Jae-hee is not a super genius, and can only be said to be much better than ordinary people. But if he doesn't understand the world, it will not only affect his own development in the future, but will even have negative impacts on the company at some point. This is not what An Qi-hyun is willing to see.
Follow An Qixuan and go around. Kang Jae-hee found that the assistant's job was not something that ordinary people could do. The weather was very hot at this time, and she was sweating without much exercise. In addition, she needed to drink water when she spoke. Kang Jae-hee was quite well-behaved. When An Qixuan told the staff that he brought the water, he ran all the way and handed it to An Qixuan and the staff with a few bottles of water.
An Qixuan looked at Jiang Jae-hee, who was holding a bottle of water and drinking. She was very low and her mentality was very straightforward. Novice should have the awareness of a rookie. This is an Eastern country. No matter how confident it is, it should have a degree. Although taking water is a small matter, if Jiang Jae-hee doesn't take it, there will definitely be a staff member to send it. But he still trotted all the way. From this small matter, An Qixuan could see that this young man was very mature. He would tell Yu Yongzhen that if he found his advantages, he would not be stingy with his phone bill and saliva to tell Yu Yongzhen.
After following An Qixuan for a while, Jiang Jae-hee gradually began to understand the reason why Yu Yongzhen asked him to see the concert preparations.
As the music director of a concert, he is mainly responsible for the following aspects. Of course, the requirements for different types of concerts will be different.
1. Rehearsing
That is, group practice; number of times, time mastery, contact guidance, music interpretation... In short, as long as you start practicing, the time of the whole group should be handed over to him. As for some coordination, contact and other music administrative work, it can be handed over to the manager.
2. Which songs should I choose to sing? Who should I find to write (original) songs
3. Provide music scores and modify (modify) the arrangement content of related parts
Which version should I choose? Who should I find to compile the score? Should I edit (picture)?
4. Solo/singing and distribution decisions for each part
After the song score is available, how to hand over the performance of each voice to the appropriate League members to be responsible for the performance?
5. Decide the performance set and order
Holding regular and touring concerts is the most important goal. Each performance must be held with the theme, paragraphs, and song order.
Six, Stage Music Guidance
Pay attention to pitch, rhythm, master the music and the smooth progress of each song.
The music director also needs to communicate with the stage design and lighting design. The stage and lighting rendering at the concert have a very obvious bonus to the song. However, professional stage design and lighting design are not professional musicians. They can only simply understand the lyrics and simply distinguish the main song and chorus part of the song. At this time, the music director needs to communicate with them, when and before the lyrics appear, dry ice, bubbles, light changes, lights, lights, lights, gather or disperse.
With Kang Jae-hee's current level, it is naturally impossible to achieve the position of music director, but he is still competent in the position of assistant. What he lacks is nothing more than experience and music accumulation. The most important thing is that this job is somewhat similar to the work of the producer.
There are themes, artists, albums, and they are also positioned. Even lyric songs can be divided into joy, sadness, gentleness and intensity.
Only by grasping the positioning better and more accurately can we create or produce the most suitable songs in the shortest time.
This is a country with high music production. The company is also an economic company famous for its high productivity. If Kang Jae-hee is a well-known free musician, she naturally does not have to consider her own livelihood and the company's requirements.
But he was born in a country where artists were everywhere, and he also joined the company that had the strictest requirements for artists. So Yu Yongzhen hoped that he could quickly adapt to the company's style, rather than just a few years of writing a song or two.
Even these or two songs are very classic songs.
So from the beginning, Yu Yongzhen hesitated for a long time about accepting Kang Jae-hee as a student. Not only was he worried about Kang Jae-hee's thoughts, but he was also worried that after becoming his student, he would receive more attention from the company, but it was not a good thing.
But later Yu Yongzhen also figured it out that it was difficult for Kang Jae-hee to be independent after joining the company. The environment with too fierce competition is even less suitable for creation. Instead of allowing Kang Jae-hee to be either eliminated or smoothed out in the cruel competition, it is better to let himself protect him and allow him to have a slightly simpler environment.
He suppressed last year's year-end competition, but he did not let it go
Although it was a bit unreasonable for Kang Jae-hee to participate, Yu Yongzhen said that she was lost due to her singing training because of her study and production. Participating would make him lose his face as a teacher, so she stopped participating.
As the company president, Li Sooman, half of the student and the company's chief producer, Yu Yongzhen is still very important. In addition, the current president of the company is Li Sooman's confidant, so the trainee management department does not need to offend Yu Yongzhen because of a trainee. So Kang Jae-hee magically did not participate in the company's year-end competition. Fortunately, with Shen Changmin's previous lessons, Kang Jae-hee himself was low-key, and except for a few friends, others were not too surprised. (A fat man later entered the company and did not participate in the year-end competition.)
Kang Jae-hee, who followed Ahn Qi-hyun, was quickly absorbing everything he saw. In addition to running errands, he also helped a little. Ahn Qi-hyun was too busy. In addition to the audio, the instruments also had to be checked. Other Kang Jae-hee was not confident, but he was still quite specialized in some instruments.
So Jae-hyun was worried that she should follow the lighting maker to see the lighting situation or check the tone of the piano and other instruments on time. Kang Jae-hee said that she could try to see it.
With a three-point skeptical attitude, An Qi-hyun, after listening to Kang Jae-hee's report on the piano test, she went to try it in person. She brought the piano sound instrument and found that it was completely fine. She basically affirmed Kang Jae-hee's ability, so she asked Kang Jae-hee to help her see the remaining instruments. This made An Qi-hyun a little more relaxed.
After the preparations for the concert are completed, there is a rehearsal.
Kang Jae-hee, who was chatting with two girls, was surprised to see the figure of Dongfang Shenqi. Then she thought about it. It is not surprising. Such a stage is rare for Dongfang Shenqi, who has just debuted for more than half a year. Especially for the mainland, a market that can never be given up. It is tradition to bring old and new.
Kang Jae-hee had no friendship with these five big boys, so she didn't go up to say hello. However, after they finished rehearsal, Kim Hyo-yeon walked up to say hello. Except for Shen Changmin and Park Yoo-tung, Kim Hyo-yeon and the other three have been trainee companions for many years, so they naturally knew each other. Moreover, Kim Hyo-yeon is very popular among trainees. Her dance and personality are undeniable.
When you are busy, time always passes quickly. It is soon time when the concert officially begins.

Thanks to Qixingdian for the reward.
Just take a look at some professional knowledge.
