Chapter 440 440 Fairness in the entertainment industry
After staying in Shanghai for a few days, Tang Lingfei boarded another flight and went straight to the recording site of The Voice. With her, in addition to her manager Sister Sun, there were of course Song Xingye and Xu Zhe.

Just like on the plane to Shanghai.

But this time, there were no fellow passengers who came to check in with me. After arriving at the destination calmly, Sister Sun rented a spacious SUV and drove the three young people to the stadium where the show was recorded.

On the way, Sister Sun suddenly asked: "Have you all watched the show The Voice?"

Tang Lingfei looked at the boy in the passenger seat and smiled: "Xiao Zizi and I have seen it, but it's hard to say whether a certain boss has seen it."

Xu Zhe: "I have seen it, but not much."

Next to her, Song Xingye, who was also sitting in the back row, said: "It means that you understand the general process of this program, but you have no interest in this kind of entertainment product, right?"

Xu Zhe nodded.

Sister Sun added: "Then you should all know that this show is nominally a blind audition. The four instructors have their backs to the stage and can only hear the voices of the contestants. The instructors choose whether to turn around based on the singing, and the contestants will also turn around. Choose one of the people to be your mentor. When this program first appeared in China two years ago, it was very new and seemed fair and interesting.”

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "It's interesting, it's really interesting, but it looks fair, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's really fair."

Xu Zhe shook his head slightly, and then said: "The show has professional sound editors, so don't be afraid of mistakes, don't be afraid of the audience's booing, just work hard to show your strength."

Sister Sun: "Of course I have no conclusive evidence. However, the program team did assure me that you will definitely be able to pass the first round of blind auditions and even the third round."

Xu Zhe understood what she meant - wouldn't it be bad if she didn't say anything and let Feifei think this was a fair stage?
Sister Sun sighed: "Because the assistant director contacted me before getting on the plane."

The car was silent for a while.

Tang Lingfei was stunned and said: "Wait, wait! I haven't even gone on stage yet. What if I make a mistake?"

Xu Zhe: "In other words, Feifei is guaranteed to be in the top 16 in the country, right?"

Sister Sun is already familiar with this: "The third round I'm talking about is eight into four, and each instructor has only the last four left. The four instructors add up to sixteen people."

Song Xingye asked: "How many contestants are left in the third round?"

Tang Lingfei couldn't help but interrupt: "What are you talking about? Is the show The Voice unfair? Then why should we participate?"

Sister Sun said calmly: "Because we have the bargaining chips to go to the table to talk with others. But for those who have no chips, there is no fairness. What if I said that the instructors already knew the contestants before they came on stage? Turn around, do you believe it?”

Xu Zhe was slightly startled: "It seems that I really don't know enough..."

Sister Sun: "How should I put it? The prices are different for players with different statuses. With our connections, we can guarantee that Feifei will enter the top 16, no problem, but there will be other requirements in the future. If it is an ordinary players, at this stage, they should sign with them.”

As a loyal viewer of The Voice, Tang Lingfei could not refute, she could only say: "Well, no way..."

Sister Sun glanced at Xu Zhe.

Xu Zhe asked: "Did the other party make a request?"

Suddenly, Song Xingye asked: "Why are you talking about this now?"

Xu Zhe: "Is it necessary to join the agency of this program group?"

There was also a smile in Sister Sun's voice: "Mr. Xu, you don't know enough about these things. To be fair, it's definitely unfair. Even if it's interesting, it doesn't necessarily mean it's really interesting."

Sister Sun: "Yeah, but behind us is Sony Music, so it's impossible to join them. Besides, the contracts they give artists, well, I think it's quite excessive when I look at it from the perspective of a passerby."

Xu Zhe: "If you don't join, it's impossible to advance?"

Sister Sun: "Unless you choose Sa Ying as your mentor." As we all know, the Voice program team will have four mentors throughout. They are responsible for pressing the turn button and selecting the singers under their command. In the end, the best singers are sent to the general manager. The final stage. The four mentors this season are Sa Ying, Wang Feng, Yang Kong, and Qin Qi, all of whom are well-known in the music industry.

"But why is it different when choosing Sa Ying?" Tang Lingfei was very puzzled.

"Because even if they are both mentors, their relationship with the program team is different."

After Sister Sun's meaningful voice fell, the car was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, Tang Lingfei said: "I don't want to participate in this show anymore."

Xu Zhe: "Do you think it's unfair?"

Tang Lingfei: "Yes, I just think it's so boring!"

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "I seem to have read this sentence somewhere before, and I kind of forgot where I read it. It's probably like this - if you can't stand lice and fleas, it's impossible to wear that gorgeous dress. robe."

Tang Lingfei pouted: "But I didn't want any gorgeous clothes at the beginning."

Xu Zhe: "Okay, if you really don't want to, we can leave now."

Tang Lingfei: "Leave now?"

This made Sister Sun unable to calm down. But she was still holding the steering wheel in her hand, and it was not easy to park on this road. She quickly asked: "No, Mr. Xu, are you serious?"

Xu Zhe: "Of course we have to listen to the contestant's own opinion. If she feels that this program is not worth participating in, we can turn around and go back immediately."

Sister Sun: "..."

Song Xingye opened his mouth but stopped talking.

The car became quiet again.

Tang Lingfei suddenly asked: "Do you want me to participate? I don't want to know other people's opinions, I just ask you."

There was no name in this question about 'you', but both Sister Sun and Xiao Zizi in the car knew who Feifei was asking.

Xu Zhe: "I hope you can become stronger."

Tang Lingfei took a deep breath and said, "Then I will participate."

Song Xingye next to him smiled and said: "Actually, Feifei, the dirty reality you are exposed to is already protected by a thick layer of protection."

Tang Lingfei: "I understand, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the chance to be a singer. But..."

Xu Zhe: "But what?"

Tang Lingfei: "I don't want to choose Sa Ying as my mentor."

Sister Sun quickly advised: "Feifei, don't worry too much. Sa Ying is also a woman, so there can't be any hidden rules."

Tang Lingfei shook her head: "I'm not afraid of hidden rules. With Xu Zhe here, who can hide the rules for me? I just feel that since this show is so boring, it doesn't matter how good the final ranking is. They won't let me advance. , Humph, I don’t want it yet!”

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the top 16 is enough. Our goal is just to show our faces a little bit to build momentum for the album release."
