Chapter 421 Another New Year's Eve
After returning to Guangzhou from Yanjing, Ye Weiyang did not have much rest time.
The half-month vacation I gave to the band on the open has come to an end.
The day after Ye Weiyang returned to Guangzhou, all the members of the band gathered again and prepared to start rehearsing for various activities at the end of the year.
In addition to the Red and White War in Japan, Liu Yunqing also received two New Year's Eve events in China for the band that are open.
One is the New Year's Eve Festival Gala on Island B, the largest barrage video platform in China. It adopts pre-recording in advance and then broadcast on December 31.
The other is the 30th early New Year's Eve party at the old friend Tomato Platform.
Yes, the name of the party is "Tomato Platform Early New Year's Eve", which is very simple and crude...
The Tomato Station party is not recorded, but live broadcast on the night of the 30th. There are also three main stages of Yanjing, Magic City and Sichuan Mansion. The band will perform on the main stage of Magic City.
Although both activities are held at the end of the month, the rehearsal must be prepared early.
After simply packing up their luggage, the band members went to the B Island headquarters of the Magic City.
As the favorite short video platform for young people and subcultural circles, B Island has a very large influence among young people.
Not only did their monthly active users reach 237.1 million, but more than 80% of them are born in the 1990s and 2000s, and the proportion of those born in the 190s is still very high, and all the born in the 1990s are the elderly.
Most young Chinese people gather on the APP on Island B to share their lives, complain about anime together, and create ghost celebrities, which has a feeling of combining YouTube and ins in China.
As the favorite band of young people, the non-closing band is naturally the grand invitation to this New Year's Eve Festival in B Island.
Moreover, their requirements are very different from ordinary evenings.
For example, Tomato Station hopes that the band will not close to perform more popular songs such as "The Wind Rises" and "My Sky" on the stage, and hopes that Ye Weiyang can sing "Blue and White Porcelain" solo.
But Island B hopes that the band will sing "Lemon" and "Previous Life" and "Want to Go to the Beach" at their New Year's Eve Festival.
Because young users of Island B prefer these three songs from the band that are open the door the most.
Maybe it is because B Island was the first two-dimensional gathering place for Japanese anime. Many Japanese songs were popular on B Island, so B Island users should be one of the most acceptable Japanese music in China.
After the release of the band's first Japanese album, it also welcomed many UP owners' covers and second-creation videos on Island B. The MV of "Lemon" has become the MV of the singer with the highest viewing volume in Island B. This year.
Therefore, it is understandable that the working group preparing for the New Year's Eve Festival in Island B hopes that the band will perform "Lemon" and "Previous and Previous Life".
As for "I Want to Go to the Beach", it is naturally because this song is the most youthful and lively song in a band that is open, and is also more popular among young people.
After the song was sung in a variety show, it quickly became popular on Douyin and became the official BGM for various video bloggers who filmed vlogs on Island B. The up owners of all living areas in Island B. have used this song as BGM!
The working group of the New Year's Eve Festival in Island B naturally hopes that the band can perform live once.
Liu Yunqing naturally had no objection to the requirements of the performance organizers. Anyway, they were using money to do things. It was not the promotion period for the new songs, so any song you had to sing.
Ye Weiyang and others had no objection to this, so the performance of Island B was set for three songs: "Lemon", "Previous Life" and "Want to Go to the Beach", with a total of 12 minutes of performance time.
But it’s a pity that because of pre-recording, and Island B is a company that makes online video platforms after all, and the company’s headquarters does not have any super large studios, so it’s a waste to rent a large gymnasium.
So in the end, this New Year's Eve Festival was only recorded in the studio at the headquarters of Island B.
Although it is a small studio, it is also the size of a studio with a variety show in the studio. There are no audiences on site, only video teams.
Moreover, all the guests were recorded separately and not together.
Anyway, it's not a live broadcast, so there's no need to make up the schedule.
The band arrived in the Magic City on December 14th. That afternoon, they recorded the live performance of these three songs at the Magic City headquarters on Island B. They did not see other guests at the evening party. They left after recording.
When he came, Ye Weiyang also heard that there were some virtual idol performances using motion capture equipment during the New Year’s Eve Festival in Island B!
Ye Weiyang was still very curious about these virtual idol vTubers who were hiding behind the leather case for various live broadcasts.
Unfortunately, he didn't meet vTuber during the recording and missed the opportunity to see the real face.
I only know that Island B will edit all the stage recorded by all the guests together.
Anyway, the final film will be a three or four-hour "New Year's Eve Festival Gala", with about ten groups of singers and guests from the entertainment industry, as well as more than ten groups of B Island up hosts and virtual idols, which will be released on B Island on December 31.
As an online video website, there is no need to compete with local TV stations for viewing ratings. They do New Year's Eve Festival more for their own users to watch, and there is no need to ask that they must watch between 8 o'clock during the New Year's Eve to 12 o'clock next year. B Island does not pay attention to this.
After the New Year's Eve Festival is completed, it can be watched by users on Island B at any time, which is very convenient.
If Ye Weiyang and the others are interested, they can also watch it through the B Island mobile APP.
In addition, there is only the New Year’s Eve party at Tomato Platform.
The New Year’s Eve Gala on TV is much more grand than the ones on video websites.
After the B-Island New Year's Eve Festival was recorded, the band was involved in the rehearsal of the New Year's Eve party at Tomato Station.
Just for rehearsals, Tomato Platform rented the Magic City International Convention and Exhibition Center for rehearsals.
Ye Weiyang and the others also met many familiar singers again.
Including Zhou Ting and Boqian who just met two days ago...
They are also old friends at Tomato Station. They were there for the New Year’s Eve last year and this year there are still.
After the two groups of people met, they would inevitably talk about "The Singing of the People in the National Style".
Bo Qian, who had just finished his rehearsal, finally caught Ye Weiyang and immediately asked him: "Teacher Ye, how are you preparing for your Chinese-style song "with poems in your words"? As the pioneer in this field, I am really Alexander than you."
Ye Weiyang smiled and looked at Bo Qian with a smile: "You guess?"
Bo Qian rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Don't tease me, you must be ready, right?"
"You must have tried this type of creation before when you can write "Blue and White Porcelain", otherwise "Blue and White Porcelain" would have been a great work as soon as it was released. And I still remember that "Blue and White Porcelain" is a song you have written long ago. You told me in person when the theme was announced!"
Bo Qian did not forget that when the theme of "Porcelain" was announced, everyone's face was ugly, only Ye Weiyang looked relaxed.
He also asked Ye Weiyang with shamelessness if he was prepared, but he got an answer that "I just happened to write a related song."
Later, when Ye Weiyang chose "blue and white porcelain", he was even more decisive and did not hesitate. He was confident at first glance.
As a result, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" shocked the entire Chinese music scene.
Bo Qian didn't believe that Ye Weiyang could get such a mature song, so he must have tried it.
In fact, before Fang Wenshan wrote "Blue and White Porcelain", he did finally create "Blue and White Porcelain" which is a collection of Chinese style after the creation of songs such as "My Lady", "Dongfeng Break", "Tea Buyed by Grandpa", and "Dao Madan".
Therefore, Bo Qian guessed that Ye Weiyang also had some Chinese-style songs that had been created with "Poetry in Words", which was very reasonable.
If "Blue and White Porcelain" is something Ye Weiyang can do casually, rather than a song written after many attempts and research, that would be even more terrifying.
"Hehehe..." Ye Weiyang smiled and did not answer Bo Qian directly, but said in a mute mystery:
Chapter completed!
