Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

For the next two days, apart from attending classes, Chen Minhao was just thinking about the starting point of the program.

Time flies, and on May 23, the time for the official launch of "My Concert and Me" has arrived.

Since "My Concert and Me" is positioned as the world's first reality show focusing on the behind-the-scenes of a singer's concert, the main content of the first two episodes is the concert preparation. The shooting location will be in Chen Minhao's studio.

Of course, during this process, if someone goes out to do errands for the concert, the production team will also arrange photographers to follow up the whole process.

Chen Minhao rented a large office space, but now the studio has relatively few employees, so half of the area is still vacant.

Now this part of the idle area will be used as a shooting location.

Producer Li Weijie saw Chen Minhao and waved to him: "Old Chen, this way."

Chen Minhao walked over quickly, and he saw a tribute table set up in the corner.

No gods were placed on the tribute table, but a lot of tributes were placed instead.

A row of tea was neatly placed at the front of the tribute table, with a total of five cups. The second row is wine, and the number is five cups like tea. The third row is some grapes, mangosteen and dragon fruit. Fourth discharge some dried fruit and biscuits.

Things are arranged very neatly, and each row is arranged in a straight line.

Chen Minhao knew that the film or TV drama crew was worried about ghosts and gods and bad luck during the filming process, so they had to burn incense and pray to Buddha in advance.

In fact, this is to seek psychological comfort and peace of mind, after all, the pressure on the crew is relatively high. This Chen Minhao quite understandable.

It's just that Chen Minhao didn't expect to do this when shooting a variety show.

Seeing Chen Minhao's surprised look, Li Weijie took the initiative to explain: "Don't look at me like that. In fact, before the Olympic Games, I also went to burn incense and worship Buddha. Now I usually worship before large-scale events. In fact, I don't worship anyone, just Burn some incense and hope everything goes well."

Chen Minhao nodded without any objection.

On the one hand, Chen Minhao felt that this should increase the sense of ritual of starting up.

After all, in the current Huaxia film and television industry, worshiping gods is an indispensable procedure when starting up, just like eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year.

On the other hand, if Chen Minhao objects now, when there are any setbacks in the filming in the future, someone will jump out and say:

"I have long said that I want to pay my respects, but Chen Minhao insisted on not letting me pay my respects. You see, something has happened now!"

I, Chen Minhao, will never take the blame.

After chatting with Li Weijie for a few words, Chen Minhao and Li Weijie found that everyone had arrived.

The entire production team and members of Chen Minhao's studio, according to their position and seniority, each held incense and worshiped in turn. After bowing the table, they worshiped in all directions.

In Baodao, you may pay homage to Master Guan, Huang Daxian and the like.

However, in mainland China, the atmosphere of atheism has led to the worship of gods in vain, and they basically do not worship any gods.

He can be whoever he thinks in his heart, from Monkey King to Vajra Gourd Baby.

After the worship ceremony, the entire "My Concert and Me" production team entered a state of high-speed operation.

Chen Minhao recently crammed for books related to variety shows. Looking at the busy scene in front of him, he suddenly thought of what he thought of in the book:

The props team is only responsible for props, the stylist is only responsible for the clothes, the lighting engineer is only responsible for the lighting, and the artist is only responsible for the performance.

Everyone should give full play to their best performance and do their own thing well. Everything is required to be completed as soon as possible, and then everyone will receive new tasks.

At the next time, when recording again, those who can't play their due role will disappear.

Uninteresting entertainers will not be able to take the stage again, and new faces will continue to appear in front of the camera. And the sluggish lighting group and the complaining stylist will also be replaced.

Seeing that the entire production team was operating efficiently, Chen Minhao nodded in satisfaction.

However, Chen Minhao frowned when he noticed that there were several lighting engineers and photographers busy up and down like hardworking bees.

They've been tweaking the lighting, trying to find the best angles and so on.

Chen Minhao felt that he might have to let these people leave the production team of the show in the short term.

Sometimes diligence is a mistake.

The direction of our efforts is wrong, and the harder we work, the more mistakes we make.

Chen Minhao directly called Zhang Wentao, the person in charge of photography, into a small conversation room, and said: "If we wait to shoot the indoor scenes, can we send the lighting engineer to put some cameras in a few corners of the room, and use fixed positions to Let's shoot."

Zhang Wentao hesitated for a moment, then said: "However, if there is no light, the effect of shooting the whole person will be relatively dark, and the final shooting effect with a fixed camera position will not be very good. Without the flexible adjustment of the photographer, some of the more important Close-ups may not be able to catch."

"Shooting with a fixed camera and a photographer, the final effect will definitely be different." Chen Minhao smiled calmly and continued:

"But what we want is this difference. The most important thing about the variety show "My Concert and Me" is reality. Even if we achieve reality, the visual effect we show to the audience in the end is the same as that of movies and TV dramas. , then the audience will inevitably think that we are acting, do you think I am right?"

Zhang Wentao hesitated.

In fact, he can understand the truth, but if the indoor scenes are all shot with fixed camera positions, wouldn't the photographer in his hand have no job to do?

A photographer's salary consists of two parts. Part of it is the basic salary, which is relatively small, and the project income that accounts for the bulk of the income is the project income when photography has work.

As the person in charge of photography, Zhang Wentao sometimes has to think about the people below.

Chen Minhao saw Zhang Wentao's hesitation, he patted Zhang Wentao's shoulder, and said, "Think about it for yourself first, I'll go out for a walk, and we'll turn it on in half an hour."

In fact, the easiest way for Chen Minhao to solve this problem is to go directly to Li Weijie and ask questions.

After all, Li Weijie is the producer, Zhang Wentao will definitely listen to what he says, and this is a matter related to content, Li Weijie will definitely listen to himself.

But Chen Minhao did not do this, because he knew that the disadvantages of doing so would directly offend Zhang Wentao.

In the workplace, the easiest way to offend someone is to complain or point out his shortcomings in front of his boss.

Although Chen Minhao is not afraid of offending Zhang Wentao, after all, Zhang Wentao is himself and his partner. If the relationship is stiff at the beginning, it will be more troublesome to get along with each other later.

Moreover, Zhang Wentao seemed relatively honest, so there was no need for Chen Minhao to use some small tricks to give him a bad impression.
