China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 724 The Voice of China begins broadcasting

Time goes back half a month.

Zhou Shen, who had just finished the college entrance examination, suddenly had an indescribable emotion like most candidates.

This exam, which is regarded by countless young people as the most important turning point in life, when it finally comes to an end, often leaves behind not only a sense of relief, but also inexplicable confusion.

Of course, the main reason is that I didn’t do well in the exam.

As soon as the test answers came out, I felt disappointed.

Damn it, this is really bad.

At this time, Zhou Shen began to think.

What path should we take in the future?
Should I continue studying and casually step into a university, or choose other life paths, such as working or learning a craft, or pursuing my musical dream?
My parents don't agree with this.

Son, doing art is a more difficult profession than having thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge.

Besides, there are certain requirements to stand on the stage.

We don't have such connections, so you'd better study hard. Otherwise, it's okay to go abroad. Your aunt is in Ukraine, and your parents can support you to study abroad.

Parents always think about their children.

They knew their children liked to sing, but there was one thing they didn't say.

Those who can appear on stage and on TV must be ordinary people, all of them are handsome men and beautiful women.

My child is a little short and has only a pretty appearance. I really don't see any hope that he can get out of this situation.

Although a mother will never think her son is ugly, according to the old couple's ideas or the perception of the vast majority of people today, this child does not have the looks of a star.

Zhou Shen has been a well-behaved and obedient child since he was young, and he has figured it out himself.

This is the reality. He is already an adult and should not be vague anymore.

I contacted my aunt who lived far away in Ukraine and planned to go there to study medicine.

Until one day, he followed his classmates to the Internet cafe he had not visited for a year, wanting to play some games and relax.

But the advertisement in the background of the Internet cafe suddenly caught his attention.

“I never thought I was talented, but I could keep working hard.”

“Along the way, I didn’t know what the future would be like, but fortunately, I met some people who encouraged me all the time.”

"Just like that, we kept walking and walking until today."

“Now, I want to use my abilities to help other people, too.”

"I hope I can meet you this summer and let me see you chasing your dreams."

"On May 5, we will see you at The Voice of China."

This is the fairy sister Liu Yifei, whom Zhou Shen knows. She is very beautiful, acts very well, and sings very well.

Are you going to be on some variety show?

For some unknown reason, he closed the game interface and started searching on the Internet.

【"The Voice of China" is a large-scale music talent show produced by Star Video. The four mentors announced so far are Liu Dehua, Wang Fei, Yu Chengqing, and Liu Yifei. The show will be jointly broadcast on Star Video website and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. 】

【“The Voice of China”, discover the real you. This summer, we are looking for the best voice in China. Here, everything is back to the original “voice”. There is only one criterion for judging all students, that is - a good voice.】

[On May 5, "The Voice of China" opened auditions, which are divided into five major competition areas: North China, East China, Central China, South China and West China. Now it is open to the whole country to recruit contestants to participate. There are no requirements. Everyone can pursue their own musical dreams. The registration website is www.HXhaoshengyin.com]

Every word on the propaganda slogan struck his heart.

Bang, bang, bang.
The heart that was unwilling to be ordinary began to become restless uncontrollably.

Maybe, I can give it a try.

Just this once, it’s summer vacation anyway, even if I fail, it’s okay, maybe I can succeed!!
Just like that, Zhou Shen, who just turned 18 this year, bravely persuaded his parents for the first time, gained their support, and then stepped onto the stage to pursue his dreams.

June 6, Huairong Starry Sky Digital Film and Television Production Center, a multi-functional studio, and the recording hall for the "Voice of China" program.

"Brother, look, look, that short boy is the student I told you about."

"Oh, it's him. He does look a little fragile."

Sun Yi knew clearly that this was Zhou Shen, but he still pretended to be ignorant.

"I really want to recruit him over. What do you think about me meeting him secretly?"

Liu Yifei leaned against the window backstage and talked to herself.

"Don't make a fuss. Knowing the students' information in advance is already a good start. If you contact them in advance, it would be a bit too much."

"I'm just talking, I won't really do it."

"Alas, I wonder if his live voice is really that magical."

Liu Yifei curled her lips and became a little expectant.

Today is the first day of recording for the main competition of "The Voice of China", and 56 contestants who passed the auditions from all over the country gathered together.

First of all, the current staff must sign relevant program contracts with each contestant, including a confidentiality agreement and related sponsorship contracts and labor contracts.

These are all very necessary, because once the show officially starts and there are sponsors, the contestants will also have to do their part.

The labor contract also applies to contestants' participation in later performances and other activities related to the program.

Of course, there are also potential agency contracts for newcomers in the music department. After all, with such resources at hand, it would be a bit unreasonable not to make good use of them.

However, Star Sky did not have any unfair terms, and the agency contract was entirely voluntary. There were also lawyers from law firms on site to provide relevant legal assistance to the contestants.

Everything is laid out in the open, stated plainly and openly.

As for the mentors, they can also meet the contestants at this time. In fact, if any mentor is interested in a contestant's information, Starry Sky will provide it.

This is also why Liu Yifei felt at ease checking the contestants' information on her own.

Because these things are already open to the tutor, she just did it a few days earlier.

The program is said to be a "blind audition", but in order to ensure the on-site effect and avoid embarrassing things, these things will be explained to each mentor.

As for the division of students into classes, the program team did not specifically interfere with this matter. However, they made it clear to several instructors that each instructor would have 8 students. The program team would only intervene artificially if the quota was full or the number of students was uneven.

However, this is also mainly based on persuasion, and more depends on the common opinions of the contestants themselves and the mentors.

Tutors lounge.

Several mentors were looking through the information of this year's contestants.

"The starry sky is pretty good. It feels like there are a lot of talented newcomers here?" The princess was the first to sigh.

"Having the ability is not good enough. When I see these young people, I think of our past. We didn't have the conditions we have now."

Looking at these newcomers, Liu Dehua couldn't help but think of his past.

“Tsk tsk, not only newcomers, but also many people from the industry are here to participate. This one, this one, and this one, I’ve worked with them all before, and they’re all very strong.”

Yu Chengqing pointed at the names on the information sheet and made some comments.

"Ha, a variety show actually revealed so many big fish. It seems I have to be more serious." The princess put down the information and smiled.

For her, these materials are just a quick look. She fully believes in her own abilities, whether it is singing skills or techniques, and she can get a glimpse of them by listening to the contestants' performances on the spot.

"Wow, you're not serious? I feel very pressured by you." Liu Dehua replied with a smile.

"I just want to put some pressure on you, to see if the former King of Heaven Liu has aged or not."

The princess smiled and looked like she really wanted to compete with Andy Lau.

Liu Dehua pursed his lips and smiled, "Haha, you'll know when the time comes."

Seeing the princess and Liu Dehua competing with each other, Yu Chengqing was unwilling to be left out.

"Hey, don't be serious, I don't want to get involved."

Unexpectedly, the two said in unison:

"That's not up to you." "Hahahaha~"

At this time, Sun Yi walked in with Liu Yifei and the program's music director Wang Jingtian.

"Hey, what are you talking about that makes you look so happy?"

Seeing the three people smiling, Sun Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, just joking with each other."

"Brother Hua, Sister Fei, Brother Harlem."

"Yifei."

After greeting each other, Liu Yifei jumped over to the three mentors in front of Sun Yi.

The team was drawn up extremely quickly.

Now, all four mentors are gathered together.

"How is it, Yifei, did your company give you a backdoor and arrange two champion students for you in advance?"

When the princess saw Liu Yifei sitting over, she made a joke.

Although the princess usually has a cold face, she is very talkative and likes to joke once she gets familiar with people. Among the four mentors, her favorite thing to do is to tease Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei blushed and confessed:
"No way, at most I just looked at the players' resources in advance, there is no backdoor at all."

"Oh~~"

"Hahaha"

The princess smiled, while Liu Dehua and Yu Chengqing also smiled and shook their heads.

Sun Yi looked embarrassed.

Xixi, do you have to be so honest~~
"Ahem, all right, Brother Hua, Sister Fei, Brother Harlem, and Yifei, let's start getting ready. When we're recording later, if you have any questions, you can communicate with the on-site director through the earphone monitor. We're recording and broadcasting, so we can pause at any time."

"But I hope that the contestants will not be stopped during their performances, otherwise it will be unfair to the contestants. Everyone only has one chance on the stage, and I hope everyone will be more understanding."

"Okay." "Don't worry, Director Wang." "I know, Brother Jingtian."

Wang Jingtian gave final instructions to the four mentors, and then prepared to officially enter the venue with the four mentors.

The audience participating in the program recording site consisted of three parts. One part was college students in Beijing. Starry Sky distributed some tickets to various funny student unions according to a certain ratio.

Another part is the loyal fans of Starry Sky Image, who are drawn from the members according to a certain ratio on the official website. These members include the fan clubs of the stars under the Starry Sky Image organization and the loyal members of Starry Sky International Cinemas.

The last part is for several mentors and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

After all, the mentors also have relatives and friends, so you have to give them your vote regardless of whether they are willing or not.

As for Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, they have maintained long-term cooperative relationships with many sponsors. Generally, tickets for such large-scale variety shows are distributed as internal benefits.

There is also a media judgement and some professional musician judges. This part does not count as live audiences. They are all specially invited by Wang Jingtian and Yang Fan based on Star Sky’s own cooperative media.

At the scene, the director first made an announcement.

"The program recording is about to begin. All contestants and audience members please be prepared and keep quiet."

The staff from each department took their positions.

The on-site sound, lighting and instructor seats were all tested for the final time.

"The scene lights are ready."

"The sound system is working and the band is in place."

"Tutor area, no problem."

"The in- and out-field hosts are already in place."

After all, Star Sky originated from a film production company. Even though it has now crossed over to variety shows, all the steps of live recording are still derived from movie shooting.

The in-place information of each department was summarized in the director's room one by one.

Wu Tong looked at Wang Jingtian. Although he was the on-site director, he had just joined the company not long ago, so he still hoped that the final instructions would be given by the music director Wang Jingtian.

Wang Jingtian subconsciously looked at Sun Yi and had the same idea as Wu Tong.

"Don't worry about me. I'm not the director today. You guys can do whatever you want. This is a recording, not a live broadcast. Don't feel any pressure."

"Okay, Mr. Sun."

Wang Jingtian nodded, then looked at Wu Tong.

"Xiao Wu, let's start. You come."

"Ah."

"Attention all departments, the first season of The Voice of China - the instructors are divided into classes. Recording has begun. Countdown is on site."

"3.2.1, start!"

At 3: p.m., "The Voice of China" officially began recording.

"Good evening, audience friends. Welcome to The Voice of China, a program co-produced by Star Image and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. This program is jointly broadcast by Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV and Star Video Network Platform. You can log on to www.XKSP.com or tune in to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV at 8pm every Friday."

The backstage host is supported by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and just like in the original time and space, it is still Hua Shao.

This guy has a low EQ. After becoming famous, he doesn't know how to be careful with his words and actions. But in terms of hosting skills, he is still very competent, and he focuses on speed and fluency.

I don’t know whether the audience likes it or not, but the sponsors like it very much.

Of course, today is the first episode and it hasn’t been sponsored yet, so there was no advertising in his opening remarks. He directly introduced the two major broadcasting platforms of the program.

"This summer, we gather here to find the good voices of China."

"First of all, let us welcome the four star mentors~~~"

Accompanied by cheers from the audience, the music started before anyone appeared.

"Can you please stop lingering in my gaze like this? You'll realize that I'm really lonely and intolerable."

"Even though I have dreamed of you thousands of times in the middle of the night, it never happened."

A Cantonese version of "Secretly Obsessed".

Just when the audience was somewhat intoxicated, many people reacted and found something was wrong.

This, this is not the voice of King Liu.

Wow, it’s sung by Yu Chengqing.

Then he walked out from the backstage, waving to everyone as he walked.

Halfway through the song, just after the chorus, the style of the music suddenly changed.

From gentle and melodious to dynamic.

Liu Dehua came on stage shortly afterwards.

"Unless it is your tenderness, I will not pursue anything else,
Unless you come with me, there is nothing else to wait for."

"Let me love you enough this time~~!"

Ha, it’s Yu Chengqing’s classic song “Let Me Love You Enough Once”.

This program team is really good at having fun. The mentors sang each other's classic songs.

The audience immediately got excited and started waving their arms spontaneously to the melody of the song.

Who will be the next mentor? Is it the princess?

Or the Fairy Sister?

Is the princess going to sing the Fairy Sister's song? And then Liu Yifei will sing the princess' song?
Wow, I’m so looking forward to it~!
