Chapter 1356： Year 0 Dome

Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Stepping out of the North Greenwich Underground Station, one glanced at the huge dome under the occasional sunny sky in London's rainy season, and an indescribable shock struck me. The white giant tensile membrane structure roof extends to the surface, and twelve huge yellow vertical push towers are inserted directly into the roof; the traction cable is slender, light and distinct from a distance, but the nearby component nodes are thick and strong, and the momentum is sturdy; The super-sized drain that grows on the edge of the giant roof is perpendicular to the ground drainage well one foot above, the visual illusion is that the two are connected, but when you walk in, it is strangely staggered. The precise and elegant control presented in the design, as well as the bold and wanton imagination, the confrontation between the two is harmonious but harmonious, just like the collision of pure white and bright yellow, which makes people's eyes burst out. Infinite possibilities.

This is the Millennium Dome, located on the Greenwich Peninsula on the Thames River in east London. The twelve 100-meter steel masts soaring into the sky are like the towering spires of Gothic buildings. This is also known as a design that perfectly combines modern technology and traditional religion. Because of its unique shape and grandeur, It has won the reputation of "Pearl of London", and it is also one of the ten most popular buildings when the century crossed.

At the beginning of the planning, the Millennium Dome was only designed as a temporary building to welcome the millennium, so many details are very bold, but they are not applicable. However, after its completion in 1999, the London government found that it was of great value for long-term urban projects such as revitalizing the surrounding urban area and transportation infrastructure, so the Millennium Dome was further developed, in addition to stadiums and performance venues. It also combines shopping malls, restaurants, bars and other facilities.

Facts have proved that ideals are beautiful and reality is skinny. The idea of ​​the London City Government is very good, but it has not been fully implemented. The fancy design of the Millennium Dome has made the original plan go to waste. In the first five years after the 21st century, the tourists of the Millennium Dome have been visited year by year. decline, and ultimately ended in a dismal end of losses.

When it comes to London, countless people will think of the historic and famous Wembley Stadium, which is not only a symbol of English football, but also one of the most famous football venues in the world. The Brigade concert has left its mark as an indelible stroke in the history of music. Under the fame of Wembley Stadium, the flower shelf of the Millennium Dome has become more and more empty.

This time, Evan Bell chose the Millennium Dome for his concert in London, which made many people fall through their glasses. The main reason is that the Wembley Stadium is being demolished. The old Wembley has been demolished in 2003. The new Wembley will not be opened until early next year, so I want to hold a concert at Wembley Stadium. Naturally it is impossible. But apart from Wembley, there are absolutely countless concert venues in London, and the Millennium Dome, which can only accommodate 20,000 people, is not a top choice, which surprised many people.

In fact, the main reason Evan Bell chose the Millennium Dome was that he liked the design of the building. As an architectural designer, he rarely had the opportunity to design such a large venue, but it was only used for sightseeing, and he could put himself All the bold designs are incorporated.

When designer Richard Rogers designed the Millennium Dome, he was told that it was only a short-term temporary building, so he used his imagination and creativity to the extreme, and only used it for aesthetic creativity and practicality of the stadium. Combined together, the Millennium Dome was designed. Although the Millennium Dome later became a permanent building due to the choice of the City of London, it cost more than four million dollars a year to maintain, which made the city government miserable, but it was not Richard Rogers' fault. On the contrary, as an architectural designer, everyone hopes that they can be like Richard Rogers and lose their family once.

In addition, the Millennium Dome is located in Greenwich is also one of the important reasons.

In addition, Evan Bell has another reason that others don't know. The venue for holding concerts here is definitely the top in the world. The City of London has been rebuilding the Millennium Dome one after another since 2003. After all, it is not a good choice to lose money. The city government has decided to maintain the original design of the Millennium Dome. Sexual magnification. In the last lifetime, the Millennium Dome after the renovation was renamed the 02 Stadium, also known as the Greenwich Stadium, where countless games are held.

Since 2009, the Men's Tennis ATP World Tour Finals have been settled here, and the gymnastics and basketball events of the 2012 London Olympics have also been held here... After all the renovations were completed in 2007, the 02 Stadium has hosted thousands of games. The event not only got rid of the fancy name, but also became the third most popular stadium in the world after Manchester Stadium and Madison Square Garden in New York. became the global champion, took off the title of the world seat stadium, and maintained this honor from 2008 until Avon Bell was born again.

The concert stage of the 02 stadium can be rated as the world's top, with seats and sound effects comparable to Madison Square Garden, the perfect perspective of the standing rock area, plus the comfortable and complete service measures, it is indeed the top concert venue. . Teddy Bell has confirmed before that the reconstruction of the 02 stadium has entered the late stage. The part that has not been completed is the movie theater, and the restaurant and restaurant part has not completed the work of attracting investment and stationing in the store, which is bound to affect the service performance. It has an impact, but in general, the conditions for holding a concert have been met. As a result, Evan Bell's London concert chose the 02 Stadium, which is still called the Millennium Dome.

After Evan Bell had lunch, he arrived at the Millennium Dome and started the rehearsal for the preliminary equipment inspection. After about half an hour, the extrajudicial fanatics and others also ended their short rest time, arrived at the scene one after another, and started their work. The importance of the pre-rehearsal work is even more important than the stage performance. After all, Evan Bell has experienced more than 50 performances, and the performance has been completed, so there is no need to worry too much, but every time you go to a city, the running-in with the performance venue is not enough It's not that simple anymore. From sound, microphone, to lighting and stage, every detail must be confirmed in place.

Fortunately, Evan Bell went into battle in person during the entire tour, and now he is already familiar with it, and he can barely be regarded as a half-professional.

"Diego, no no, your rhythm is a beat faster, and also, the sound of ebner's drums is not louder, why is it smaller." Evan Bell sat cross-legged on the stage, frowning at the microphone said. He is currently testing the sound effects. Due to the venue, the echo effect of the instrument sound is different after the sound is transmitted, and some minor adjustments need to be made during the performance. It is not too troublesome.

Diego Ramos looked at Callistolamos helplessly, and Callistolamos rolled his eyes and conveyed an obvious meaning, "I told you", Diego Ramos Turning his eyes to Evan Bell, he pouted, "Evan, what are your ears, I just shook my hand just now, and you heard it."

Evan Bell didn't even look at it, and said directly, "Ask Callisto if you heard it." People who play in the band are very sensitive to the rhythm, not only Diego Ramos himself, but also several other people. Also felt it. Diego Ramos opened his mouth and muttered, "Dog ears." Then he found that Evan Bell looked directly over. Diego Ramos was embarrassed now, and he didn't know whether he should laugh or be embarrassed. On the contrary, Epner Alfred stood beside him and laughed loudly, and Callistoramos also twitched at the corners of his mouth. It seemed that it was very hard to hold back laughter.

Evan Bell looked dissatisfied, "Dog ears? Are you serious? I have elf ears, okay?" Immediately, Diego Ramos couldn't help it, and he burst out laughing.

Instead, Evan Bell shrugged his shoulders with a "not funny at all" look, and said to the microphone, "Ariad, don't have so many lights, the song 'Sky Light (t)' is a little simpler. Alright Turn off the red and blue lights." Eleven Studios doesn't have this capability yet, so they take the entire tour team around the world, like sound engineers and lighting engineers. These are basically provided by the organizer of the concert venue. So, it takes a long time to adjust each time.

Busy time always flies fast. When Evan Bell thought it was only two o'clock, Andre Lindberg came over and said, "When the interviewer arrives," Evan Bell realized that it was four o'clock. It's half past. Teddy Bell said before going to the supermarket that the interviewee would arrive at the Millennium Dome at 4:30.

Evan Bell wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at Andre Lindbergh and said, "In the lounge?" While asking, he stood up from the floor, "The sound is almost tuned, wait a minute. Just rehearse again. You can adjust the lighting, today's lighting engineer Ariad is too fancy."

Andre Lindbergh waited until Evan Bell finished speaking, then pulled Evan Bell who was about to leave the stage, "Evan, they are not in the lounge, just under the stage." Andre Lindberg pointed behind him 's auditorium.

Evan Bell looked back and saw two girls standing side by side in the rock and roll area. Although they were a little far apart, they couldn't see their expressions clearly, but they could vaguely distinguish their faces. After focusing his attention, Evan Bell couldn't help but stop, "It turned out to be her!"
