China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 263 Frequent hits and controversies (6K chapters)

"Wife, wife, the good voice has begun."

Upon hearing the familiar song "Chapter", Wu Qiang quickly shouted into the room.

"I'm coming."

A 23-year-old woman wearing a facial mask hurriedly ran out of the bedroom.

Today is the day when the top 12 of "The Voice" will be promoted to the sixth. After a series of brutal battles, last Friday, all the top 6 of "The Voice" were born.

Yizhou Division: Zhao Lei, Yu Kewei
Magic City Division: Ping An, Pan Cheng

Yanjing Division: Cheng Xu, Li Ronghao
Yangcheng Division: Liu Xijun, Ji Ke

Ningnan Division: Hu Xia

Qizhou Division: Chopstick Brothers

Jichun Division: Guan Zhe, Jin Zhiwen
In the last second round of the rematch, the high-profile migrant group Xuri Yanggang, the slightly famous singer Xidan Girl, and the sudden rise of the overcoat brother Zhu Zhiwen left the stage one after another.

After the last game, although many netizens rushed to the official website of "The Voice" collectively, to be fair, they were eliminated and it was not an injustice.

The students who are still able to stay on the stage are either musicians with excellent compositions or professional seed players.

Therefore, regardless of the fans' perspective, the elimination of Xuri Yanggang, Xidan Girl, and Zhu Zhiwen is not considered a shady incident.

What's more, although they were eliminated, there were not many record companies that found them, not to mention their future development.

At least I no longer have to be a wandering singer like before.

In a sense, they can be considered successful in pursuing their dreams.

soon.

The Top [-] of The Voice began. The program team did not engage in lengthy sensationalism. After the routine broadcast of the sponsored brands, Chen Lei directly started the on-site lottery ceremony.

"Husband, do you know any inside information?"

Before the lottery started, Wang Qianqian hugged Wu Qiang's arm and said with a gossipy face.

"How would I know?"

Wang Qianqian said reluctantly: "You are a small manager of Xinlang Yuji, but you still don't know the inside story?"

"Daughter-in-law, please, I'm just a small entertainment reporter."

Wu Qiang couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "I'm not the editor-in-chief of Xinlang Entertainment. No, to be precise, even the editor-in-chief doesn't know the inside story."

"No, someone on the Internet broke the news that Zhao Lei signed a contract of intent with Starlight Records. So, did he only give it away during the PK within the group?"

Wu Qiang said helplessly: "Daughter-in-law, please stop reading the Tianya Gossip section. Zhao Lei's musical talent is obvious to the naked eye."

"Southern Girl, Painting, Winter in Yanjing, A Diao, any song is not the best among the best, the folk circle is almost blowing him up."

"Believe it or not, if Zhao Lei released a record now, he would be able to sell at least 30 copies, beating all the established kings and queens.

"Moreover, his idol Xu Wei said during a private gathering with friends that Zhao Lei is the biggest surprise in the music world this year."

Wang Qianqian said disapprovingly: "What's so good about folk songs? I think it's just like that anyway."

Seeing his wife starting again, Wu Qiang said quickly.

"The grouping results are out."

"Fuck!"

Seeing the group list, Wu Qiang couldn't help but curse.

Game [-]: Zhao Lei VS Cheng Xu.

It’s over.

It’s over.

He is a die-hard fan of Zhao Lei, and his wife is a fan of Cheng Xu's looks.

There will definitely be another battle tonight.

soon.

All lottery results are out.

Game [-]: Chopstick Brothers VS Kim Zhiwen

Game [-]: Hu Xia VS Pan Cheng
Game [-]: Ping An VS Jike
Game [-]: Yu Kewei VS Li Ronghao

Game [-]: Liu Xijun VS Guan Zhe
After the draw was over, "The Voice" did not engage in routines, just a few words of gossip, and the first game started immediately.

The first person to appear was Cheng Xu.

Immediately afterwards, a line of subtitles appeared on the TV.

Student: Cheng Xu

Song: Brother is just a legend

Words: Cheng Xu
Music: Cheng Xu
Arranger: Fang Hui

puff!
Seeing this song title, Wu Qiang almost spit out the Coke in one breath.

Isn't "Don't be infatuated with brother, brother is just a legend" a hot post on Maopu?

Even the songs came out?

wrong.

The person who posted that post couldn't be Cheng Xu, right?
"Yo!"

“coming back from setting down
……

Please stop being obsessed with me,

Oh.
Brother is just a legend,
……

I have never been lonely because you have been with me..."

Halfway through listening to this, Wu Qiang's alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

broken.

Lei Zi, it’s a bit dangerous.

The style of this song is very popular among non-mainstream boys and girls, and it is also blessed by Maopu hot posts.

Maopu has more than 5000 million registered users, and its average daily views exceed [-] million.

Tianya, Qiandu Tieba, and Maopu are the three major Chinese community websites.

Here, Wu Qiang is still worried about whether Lei Zi can advance. Over there, Wang Qianqian has already taken out her mobile phone and edited text messages to challenge Cheng Xu.

After sending the text message, Wang Qianqian poked Wu Qiang and spread her hands.

"cell phone."

"daughter in law."

Wu Qiang smiled coquettishly and prepared to interrupt. His cell phone was for voting for Lei Zi.

"Shall we discuss it?"

"cell phone!"

Wang Qianqian's eyes widened: "Will you give it or not?"

"Give it, I'll give it."

Seeing his wife's stern face, Wu Qiang didn't dare to act like a monster, so he reluctantly gave his phone to his wife.

"mock up."

Wang Qianqian snorted, then lowered her head to edit the text message.

"Daughter-in-law, I have to go to the toilet."

After saying these words, Wu Qiang rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and entered the bathroom. Then he took out two PHS phones from under the basin.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

After editing two text messages in succession and sending them, Wu Qiang pressed the toilet flush button.

2 is better than 2!

It's a draw!
Lei Zi, you must win!

When he returned to the living room, Zhao Lei's interview clip was playing on the TV.

"Twelve to six will start soon, are you nervous?"

"It's okay. Before signing up, I never thought that I would be able to reach the top 12. I am very satisfied to be able to get to where I am today."

"For me, every remaining game is a matter of enjoyment."

It’s over.

Hearing this, an ominous premonition arose in Wu Qiang's mind. This interview sounded like a farewell declaration.

In the previous interview clips of Cheng Xu, Cheng Xu was so arrogant and arrogant, making bold remarks and aiming directly at the championship.

No way?
Lu Yuan's variety show won't have any hidden secrets, right?

Originally, Wu Qiang was quite confident, but after watching this interview clip, he became a lot more anxious.

Just when Wu Qiang was worried, Zhao Lei, wearing a denim jacket, still holding the guitar, stood in the center of the stage.

Student: Zhao Lei

Song: Ideal

Words: Zhao Lei
Music: Zhao Lei
Arranger: Zhao Lei

Then, there was a sound in the background, Zhao Lei strummed the strings and slowly started singing.

"A man lives in this city,
I'm exhausted just trying to fill my stomach,

What else is there to talk about ideals?
That's our dream

……

How old are you ideally this year?
You always tempted young friends,
You always thank me and surprise me..."

Hearing this, Wu Qiang couldn't help but think of the time when he first arrived in Yanjing. As a northern drifter, he came here for his ideals.

But the city of Yanjing gave him a heavy blow when he was young.

When I first became an entertainment reporter, in order to keep track of a piece of news, I was always there in the wind or rain, no matter it was scorching heat or freezing cold.

I'm hungry. Let's take a few bites of steamed buns.

If you're thirsty, drink some water.

Recalling that time, tears filled Wu Qiang's eyes unconsciously.

aside.

When Wang Qianqian heard this song, her heartstrings were also touched.

She is also a northern drifter.

However, her experience was not as complicated as Wu Qiang's. Although she was tired, she basically never suffered from hunger or cold.

"husband?"

At this time, Wang Qianqian looked back and found tears in Wu Qiang's eyes.

"It's nothing." Wu Qiang quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and said harshly: "I just remembered something from the past."

"Honey, I'm sorry."

Wang Qianqian hugged Wu Qiang and said softly: "I shouldn't have grabbed your phone just now. Zhao Lei actually sings very well."

“It would be great if one phone could vote for two people.”

"fine."

Wu Qiang said smoothly: "I have already voted for Zhao Lei."

"Ok??"

Wang Qianqian was immediately alert and asked suspiciously: "Where did you get your cell phone?"

……

Huairou.

The crew of Embroidered Spring Knife.

After the show, several of the main creators of Xiuchundao also gathered together to watch "The Voice" together.

"Ayuan, who do you think can advance in this match?"

After Hu Ge finished sending the text message, he casually asked for the opinions of professionals.

As soon as these words came out, several people at the scene all turned their attention to Lu Yuan.

"Forehead."

Lu Yuan spread his hands: "I don't know, this is a live broadcast, and I haven't opened my eyes, so how can I know who can advance."

If he had to say it, Lu Yuan would definitely support Zhao Lei.

But the songs Cheng Xu pulled out were a bit explosive.

"Brother is Just a Legend" is a song that has taken the Internet by storm. At its peak, its popularity on the Internet was not a big problem even if it was compared to Jay Chou.

"Boss, who did you vote for just now?" Wang Qianyuan added.

"One person, one vote." Lu Yuanyang raised the two mobile phones in his hands: "Absolute fairness and impartiality."

While talking, the show has reached the stage where the final score is announced.

Zhao Lei.

Tutor average score: 85.33
Audience rating: 95.33
Score off the court: 93.22
Total score: 90.697 points

Original score: 4.33 points.

Composite score: 95.027
Seeing the scores and total votes announced one after another, the audience who supported Zhao Lei in front of the TV felt their hearts in their throats.

The instructor's rating is a little low, and Lei Zi is in danger.

Subsequently, Cheng Xu’s score was announced.

Looking at the rows of similar scores, the anxious spectators had already taken out their calculators and pressed them every time a score was reported.A few seconds later, Cheng Xu's score was announced.

94.997.

With a gap of 0.03 points, they lost.

Cheng Xu stopped at the top twelve.

After a while, a batch of accusatory posts appeared on the Good Voice Qiandu Post Bar.

This is also impossible.

It is impossible for a talent show to be without controversy at all, even if the program team of "The Voice" did not engage in any manipulation of scores.

But the fans are just unreasonable, and they still have to fight if they should.

but.

No matter how dissatisfied Cheng Xu's fans are, the game continues.

The next group of PK players will appear on stage.

The first to appear was the Chopstick Brothers. From the audience's perspective, this pair was also very interesting. Both of them studied art and loved music.

In 07, Brother Chopsticks was already well-known in Maopu, and could barely be considered a player with his own fan traffic.

A brief interview ended, and the song performance information was printed on the screen.

Student: Brother Chopsticks.

Song: Old Boy (adapted by ありがとう)
Lyricist: Wang Taili
Composer: Ohashi Takuya

Arranger: Zhao Liang

"Dreams are always out of reach, should I give up... Youth is like a rushing river. Once it goes away and never comes back, there is no time to say goodbye. I am left numb and without the passion of the past..."

Lu Yuan was not surprised at all when he heard this song that had become popular all over the Internet. He asked Universal to contact and then bought the copyright for this song.

Before the national competition of "The Voice" begins, the program team has signed an agreement with the contestants. If there is any impostor or concealment of reference, the students will be sued.

Therefore, when Wang Taili applied for the program, he explained the source of the music and inspiration in advance.

This song was inspired by him on the bus, when he happened to hear Ohashi Takuya's "ありがとう".

The original song "Thank you" was written to his mother, and then he changed it into a song in memory of his youth based on his own experience with Xiao Yang.

Sing a song.

There was a burst of warm applause, and the three instructors also applauded. To be fair, the lyrics of this song were indeed filled in well.

Although it is a cover, it is sung in their own style. With the stage appeal just now, this song may be their voice.

Backstage.

Jin Zhiwen, who was about to appear on the stage, felt extremely stressed at the moment.

The audience's applause is undoubtedly the most intuitive evaluation.

Although he debuted very early, he started composing music from 02 to 03 and is somewhat famous in the industry. In last year's Olympic song competition, he also won the gold medal for "One World One Dream".

That's right.

It's the song that Huang Xiaomin sang.

But his popularity in front of the public is not high.

This time, he was encouraged to join The Voice by Hu Haiquan. In 07, he signed a contract with EQ Records, and Hu Haiquan was his boss.

At first, he was reluctant. After all, he had been in the industry for seven or eight years and was still participating in a talent show.

A bit of a shame.

However, when he learned that the auditions for "The Voice" included many singers who had been debuting for several years, he put down his burdens and signed up to compete.

soon.

Jin Zhiwen appeared on the stage and he sang the original song "Breaking Up with Tears" today.

There is an extra five points bonus for the original version. Any contestant who can sing the original song will definitely not choose to adapt it.

Whether you can win this game or not, the original five points are crucial.

4 minute later.

The audience at the scene also gave warm applause.

The scene of "The Voice" was so enjoyable!

This is the voice of most of the audience.

Every contestant in the top [-] has a unique skill, and this song "Break Up with Tears" is also very nice.

However, Jin Zhiwen felt chilled when he heard the audience's applause.

The reaction from the audience didn't seem that enthusiastic.

at this time.

The audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were very, very confused. Who should support Jin Zhiwen and the Chopstick Brothers?
tangled.

Too tangled.

Both parties are very capable. Male audiences prefer the song "Old Boy", while women prefer "Breaking Up with Tears".

After about 5 minutes, the statistical results were released.

Jin Zhiwen narrowly lost to Chopstick Brothers with a narrow gap of 0.5 points.

The Chopstick Brothers successfully advanced to the top six in the country.

There wasn't much sad time, the third round of PK came on.

Qingquanyin Prince Hu Xia VS super popular female student Pan Cheng.

In the end, Hu Xia won the game with his hard power.

Among all the contestants, Hu Xia can definitely be ranked in the top three in terms of singing skills, especially on stage, as stable as an old dog.

What makes him stand out from the crowd of singer-songwriters is his stable live performance.

Almost no mistakes.

Stable and scary.

Hu Xia is also one of the players that Boss Lu has decided to sign to Starlight Records, although Hu Xia is not very good at creating.

But he is the kind of person who relies on talent to make a living. He can break into the music world only with his highly recognizable timbre and stable singing skills.

Discrimination is a very, very important ability.

Those singers who can become popular basically can recognize the identity of the singer even if they are passers-by and fans.

When it comes to business performance, recognition is more important than singing ability.

For example, Lu Yuan's singing skills in his previous life were very strong, but his congenital conditions were not good. No matter how good his singing skills were, it would be difficult to find a way out.

……

……

two hours later.

The special show of "The Voice 12 and 6" has ended.

In the fourth round, Ping'an easily qualified for promotion. In terms of singing skills and stability, Jike, a girl from the Yi ethnic group, was slightly inferior.

Fifth round.

Yu Kewei VS Li Ronghao.

Yu Kewei is also a "veteran" in the talent show. He participated in the second "Super Girl" in 05 and continued to apply for Super Girl in 06.

Unfortunately, the results were not ideal both times.

In 08, Yu Kewei moved to Suzhou Satellite TV's talent show "Absolute Sing", and finally ended up in the top eight of the Yizhou Division.

This year, Yu Kewei, who competed in the talent show four times, finally entered the national competition and achieved good results in the top twelve.

Her vocal range is wide, her voice is clean and clear, extremely penetrating, and her breath control is also very strong.

If we only talk about singing skills, Li Ronghao will lose to her by three points.

However, Li Ronghao finally advanced by one point with extra points for his original work.

If there are no extra points for originality, Li Ronghao will be eliminated.

As for the sixth game, the PK between Liu Xijun and Guan Zhe.

The final winner was Guan Zhe.

Guan Zhe successfully advanced to the competition with his original song "The Night I Miss You".

This song was originally from Guan Zhe's new album "Forever and Forever". However, in order to participate in "The Voice", he and Ai Hui decided to postpone the release of the album.

……

……

The next day.

Discussions on "The Voice: 12 to 6" are overwhelming on the Internet, and there are only a few discussions on "Happy Girls: 10 to 7" aired on the same day.

This can also be reflected from the ratings.

The national average ratings of "The Voice" are as high as 5.8%, although it is twice as far away from Supergirl's record of 11.65%.

But the ratings statistics in 09 are completely different from those in 05.

The ratings of 11.65% are almost impossible to break.

However, when comparing the ratings share, "The Voice" does not fall behind.

The peak ratings of Supergirl in 05 were the annual top three finals, with a ratings of 11.65% and a viewership share of 29.54%.

The Voice's viewing share last night was 22.35%.

For every five people who turn on the TV, one is watching The Voice.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole people will watch it.

Moreover, the quality of "The Voice" is worthy of this ratings and viewership share.

of course.

The more people watch, the greater the controversy will be, and the controversy is not limited to netizens, but also the four major portals.

[Ask the production team of "The Voice", which is more important, originality or sound? 】

Wangyi Entertainment was the first portal to go under. This report directly asked the official voice of Good Voice, since it was named after the voice in the first place.

Why were the contestants with stronger singing skills eliminated by the original contestants?

Obviously.

This article is questioning the match of [Li Ronghao VS Yu Kewei]. If there were no original points, Li Ronghao might not be in the top 12.

And Li Ronghao's identity is very sensitive.

The singer signed by Starlight Records and Star Media, the producer of The Voice, can be said to be one family.

but.

Before the official reply from Good Voice, the comment area below the report started to quarrel.

[Singing, singing, of course the voice is more important. I can tolerate a singer who is not good at composing, but I can never tolerate a singer who is not good at singing]

[Of course, creation is more important. If you don’t have good works, no matter how strong your singing skills are, what’s the use? 】

[Support upstairs, there is no shortage of people who can sing in China, but there is a shortage of people who can write songs. To be honest, the development of the domestic music scene is very backward, and there is a lack of excellent creators.

Maybe some people don’t know that many of the songs you like are covers from foreign countries, and Xiaobangzi and Xiaoli are the hardest hit.

The following are examples...]

[I think both creation and sound are important. As long as there are good works, without excellent singers, the music scene will be deformed. What we need is to walk on two legs]

……

As this report developed, the scope of discussion slowly expanded.

Community websites such as Tianya, Tieba, and Maopu have also launched a big discussion on whether singing skills or creation are more important.

As the heat continued, the discussion also spread offline.

Discussions in newspapers began to slowly increase, and those media reporters also found some famous singers in the Chinese music scene.

Even in the singer circle, there is no final answer to this question.

There are those who prefer singing, and there are those who prefer composition.

At last.

Many media came directly to Huairou and squatted outside the studio every day, preparing to ask Lu Yuan, the 'participant', for his opinion.

After all, the idea for Good Voice originally came from Lu Yuan, and he also set the details of encouraging originality and creating extra points.

Because there were so many people squatting there, Boss Lu did not hide from reporters even if he was strictly guarded.

"Lu Yuan, may I ask, which one do you think is more important, singing or creating?"

Looking at the crowd of reporters in front of him, Lu Yuan answered calmly.

"I think they are all important."

"Music is too big a category for me to say, but I still have a little say in pop music."

"I personally believe that if you want to develop the pop music industry well, every aspect of the song is indispensable."

"Singing, writing lyrics, composing, arranging, mixing, etc., every aspect should be taken seriously."

"The barrel principle can also be applied to music."

"In addition, I personally think that we should pay more attention to copyright protection. Many people say that the domestic recording industry is not good and there are no good works."

“But do good works come out of thin air?”

"Just imagine, if you were a behind-the-scenes worker and wrote a hit song, but the final reward was only a few thousand yuan, or even a few hundred yuan, would you still be willing to create it with all your heart?"
