A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Having Su Fan as a tour guide is indeed a rather unconventional idea.

Singing is, at least, part of his job.

Asking a singer to go to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum to explain the Terracotta Warriors to audiences across the country is clearly an attempt to deliberately make things more difficult for him.

Ironically, netizens showed great interest in this matter.

Xia Ping tentatively asked, "President Su, should we make some adjustments to the interactive project?"

The adjustment he mentioned was not about secretly manipulating netizens' votes.

Instead, the production team stepped in and removed the project "Su Fan explaining the Terracotta Warriors," which was more difficult to execute and prone to problems, from the official vote.

Then, add a few more relatively simple and easier-to-control alternative tasks.

This practice is very common in variety shows.

The audience is responsible for providing ideas.

Ultimately, the selection of content for the program still requires pre-screening by the planning team.

After all, the production team has to consider both safety issues and assess whether the guests are capable of completing the tasks.

Without even thinking, Su Fan shook his head: "No need to adjust. We'll just do whatever the netizens choose. This show is all about authenticity."

Xia Ping frowned slightly: "But in this way, almost all the pressure will fall on your side."

This statement is already quite direct.

What he was really worried about was that Su Fan was simply incapable of completing the task.

Singing is no problem.

It can explain the Terracotta Warriors, covering a large amount of historical, archaeological, and cultural relic knowledge.

Even if an ordinary person prepares for several days in advance, they may not be able to explain it clearly.

Su Fan is leaving tomorrow and won't have much time to research.

What's more, it was broadcast live in the entire event.

At that time, every word spoken on stage will be heard by countless audience members simultaneously.

If a factual error is made, or if the explanation is too superficial, not only will Su Fan himself be questioned, but the reputation of the entire program will also be affected.

If there are problems with the first live broadcast, the expectations built up before the show will be greatly diminished.

Xia Ping still reminded him, "President Su, I agree that the program emphasizes authenticity, but authenticity doesn't mean being unprepared. The first live broadcast is crucial to the entire program. Shouldn't we play it a little safer?"

Su Fan could tell that he was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it.

However, he didn't seem nervous at all; instead, he appeared quite calm: "Don't worry, just follow the actual vote count. Since netizens want me to speak, then I will. I already have a plan for how to arrange the first round."

Seeing his certainty, Xia Ping carefully examined him for a while.

Neither his tone nor his expression suggested he was putting on a brave face.

Thinking of what Su Fan had done in the past, he finally suppressed his worries: "Since you have already made arrangements, then proceed as planned. However, after the official vote, I will immediately have someone coordinate with the museum regarding filming and live streaming."

Su Fan nodded: "Okay, we'll report what needs to be reported and communicate what needs to be communicated. The program content can be authentic, but none of the procedures can be omitted."

Xia Ping put "Su Fan's explanation of the Terracotta Warriors" back into the official candidate list.

Despite the ever-increasing number of supporters in the backend, he still felt somewhat uncertain.

However, since Su Fan had already put it this way, he had no choice but to believe him.

As for how Su Fan plans to complete this difficult task, we'll probably only find out after the live stream begins.

After confirming that the itinerary would be arranged according to the actual number of votes from netizens, Su Fan said, "There's one more thing that I need you to coordinate with Qin Province in advance."

"What is it?"

"We need them to help us find a suitable open-air venue, and then prepare the stage, lighting, and sound system. Once the show arrives in Xi'an, we will hold a live performance."

Xia Ping paused for a moment: "Are you planning to sing on the live stream?"

"Yes, if the itinerary goes smoothly, we'll travel according to the results of the online poll first, and then have a live concert after the trip."

Xia Ping originally thought that the song would be recorded in the recording studio first, like the works previously released by Han Tang Entertainment, and then uploaded to various music platforms.

Unexpectedly, Su Fan planned to broadcast the performance live.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally asked the question that had been bothering him: "Aren't you planning to release the song directly?"

Su Fan shook his head: "Live performances will be even better."

"Releasing it in advance can also generate buzz for the show. With your current popularity, once the song is released, the live stream data will definitely increase even more tomorrow."

"If a song is released in advance, everyone will hear it on their phones and know what it's like. But if it's kept until the live broadcast, the audience will look forward to the lyrics, the melody, and how we will sing it. This anticipation is part of the show itself."

Xia Ping nodded thoughtfully.

Su Fan continued, "Most importantly, this program emphasizes authenticity. There is no pre-recorded recording, no post-production audio editing, and no chance to start over. The audience will hear exactly how the performance turns out. Only a first appearance like this deserves the title of 'live broadcast'."

"What if something goes wrong on site?"

"If there's a problem, we'll solve it. It's not a big deal if you sing one or two wrong notes. What the audience wants to see isn't a flawless studio performance."

That's not wrong.

Xia Ping, from the perspective of the program director, began to consider specific issues: "However, an open-air performance is not something that can be done simply by setting up a stage. The program is currently very popular, and once the venue is announced in advance, a large number of audience members will definitely gather on site. The stage load-bearing capacity, power supply, fire protection, medical services, security, and personnel evacuation all need to be prepared in advance."

"Leave these things to the professionals. You should compile your performance requirements and send them to the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism so they can assist in contacting the venue and relevant departments. We only need to specify the program requirements; the specific location for the event will be determined by the local authorities based on safety conditions."

How big of a venue do you need?

"We don't need to pursue a large venue. The number of audience members must be controlled within a safe range. Our real audience is still the people in the live broadcast room. If necessary, we can adopt a reservation system to limit the number of people entering in advance."

Xia Ping nodded in agreement: "This is a safer approach. We can't announce the specific location too early, otherwise the area might be blocked by people before the official performance time."

"We can announce it first. There will be an open-air performance. As for the specific location, we will decide when to open it to the public after the local security and on-site setup are completed."

"Then the live streaming equipment will also need to be added separately. The sound recording of a regular tourist filming and a live performance are completely different things. The instruments, the voices, the audience and the live broadcast footage all need to be processed separately."

Su Fan smiled and said, "That's why I came to see you in advance. Just make a list of any equipment the production team needs. Also, have Lao Song prepare the live streaming lines and backup servers in advance. Don't let Dianping crash before the song even starts."

Xia Ping's expression turned serious as he considered the show's current popularity: "I will have the technical team conduct another stress test based on the highest number of online users. In addition, we will prepare a backup streaming line so that we can switch immediately if the main line has a problem."

"You're more professional than me in this area, so let's go with your plan."
