The show is about to begin!
The program team is on high alert at this moment.
He Dongming walked steadily to Zhou Qinghua and reported the situation in a low voice with a smile.
"Director Zhou, as soon as the show started, our real-time ratings exceeded 11 points, and are still steadily increasing. There is hope!"
He Dongming's tone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
There is hope, that is, there is hope to exceed the annual highest ratings created by the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year.
Once they have achieved great success, all of them will ascend instantly within the circle.
Recently, other TV stations and program teams have tried to poach him, increasing his salary several times and offering him the position of deputy director with real power.
However, he refused them all.
We’ll talk about everything after the show is over.
Situations like his are very common in the entire program team.
Program staff who have made some contribution have received invitations from other colleagues, and their remuneration has been greatly increased.
Many TV stations and program teams are trying to discover talents to improve their own strength, while some program teams are simply trying to poach people with the aim of breaking up the Voice of China team that has been working together for several years and causing trouble for the next season!
otherwise.
If The Voice of China was this popular every year.
Then other variety shows scheduled at the same time will not be able to be produced.
Other similar music variety shows cannot be produced either.
so.
People in the same industry all hope for their colleagues' death.
However, He Dongming's situation is different from others.
Because almost everyone in the circle who is well-informed already knows that he and Wang Qian have a very special relationship. They were roommates in college and can be considered close friends.
Therefore, some of the people who offered a high price to poach He Dongming also did so because of Wang Qian.
Zhou Qinghua nodded slightly, looking at the stage, and said calmly: "Go over there and keep watching. If there is any situation, come and report at any time."
The so-called situation means that the ratings fluctuate or decline.
He Dongming nodded, turned around and left quickly.
Zhou Qinghua turned around and looked at the densely packed audience sitting in the back. Most of them were familiar faces he knew, basically first- and second-tier celebrities in the circle, or friends who knew celebrities, or rich second-generations, or business tycoons, or leaders, etc.!
In short, there are few truly ordinary people.
Only in the back seats there are more ordinary people.
Those in the inner field are either stars or rich or noble.
Several people who knew Zhou Qinghua looked at him and nodded with a smile, and Zhou Qinghua also responded with a smile.
When he saw a few people, his pupils narrowed slightly.
Because one of them was someone he knew, Wang Jianqiang from Tengfei, and he was smiling at him.
This influential figure, who has recently assumed great power and is about to become the CEO of a listed company, is in the limelight.
Zhou Qinghua also has to save face.
Then, Zhou Qinghua picked up the microphone and said to the backstage staff: "How are the preparations? Host, get ready to go on stage!"
…
Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Rong sat together, and nodded and smiled at Zhou Qinghua.
Jiang Rong said softly, "Zhou Qinghua is really lucky this time. He caught up with the opportunity of the international explosion of The Voice of China, and happened to meet Wang Qian, Chen Xiaowen, Ma Rufei, Ru Ke and other truly talented contestants gathered together. By making such a popular variety show, he will also leave his name in the history of variety shows in the future. Basically, no variety show will be able to surpass it in the future."
Wang Jianqiang said calmly, "It's just good luck, but luck itself is a part of life. Now, many investors want to invest in the Voice of China copyright company, and the valuation has increased tenfold compared to last year. It's just a shell company that holds the copyright of the Voice of China, and the valuation is over 10 billion. Southern Entertainment invested 500 million and only got 4 points of shares."
Jiang Rong widened her eyes and blinked: "So high?"
As far as she knew, the entire value of the Voice of China copyright was only a few hundred million.
Wang Jianqiang nodded. "The ratings have exploded this year. The advertising revenue alone is more than five times that of last year. Add to that the subsequent revenue from The Voice of China, and the revenue may indeed be ten times that of last year. But what about the future? Will it be this popular every year? I don't believe that the audience will get tired of it."
"I have heard some news. Due to the huge success of The Voice International, several other international variety shows are discussing the possibility of holding international competitions. It is possible that next year we will see programs such as the Global Singer Competition and the Global Singer-Songwriter Competition. The Voice International will not be surprising."
Jiang Rong frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Then why are people still scrambling to invest money in it?"
Wang Jianqiang smiled: "Because, the Voice of China production company will be listed next year!"
Jiang Rong suddenly realized!
Understood.
I see.
Everything is done to harvest leeks after listing!
No matter how much you pay now, you can definitely get it back several times over by hyping it up later.
Unfortunately, she is not qualified to enter this kind of harvesting field.
Wang Jianqiang continued, "Recently, you have been in close contact with the public relations departments of several other entertainment companies. Now that you have started, don't stop. You must continue to invest until the final moment. Don't worry about the investment. As long as you succeed, it doesn't matter how much you invest!"
Jiang Rong nodded gently, her face serious: "I know, we have formed a temporary working group, and we discuss the work progress with each other every day. Now, we have basically grasped the direction of public opinion on major platforms. Everyone believes that Wang Qian can definitely win the championship. If he doesn't win, it will be a failure."
"We must pull Wang Qian down this time! The higher he stands now, the harder his fall will be."
Wang Jianqiang nodded, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes: "What a pity, he is indeed a genius. If he is willing to cooperate with us, we can be friends. If he insists on being our enemy, then we can only use any means necessary. After today, we will continue to hype and increase the popularity."
"As long as he is eliminated, it will be time to close the net. Whether he is eliminated today or in the world competition, as long as he is eliminated, that is when he falls."
"We don't need such an awesome person in our circle!"
Jiang Rong felt a little uncomfortable.
Because, deep down in her heart, she really admires Wang Qian and likes his music very much.
Wang Qian really satisfied most of her fantasies about the opposite sex deep in her heart.
Even though Wang Qian is indeed eating alone now, making people in the circle jealous.
However, she thought that it was not that Wang Qian really wanted to have the most out of himself, but because Wang Qian’s artistic thinking was too serious and he was a perfectionist. He did not want capital to corrupt his dreams and did not want to be controlled by capital, so he rejected all capital!
In her heart, she recognizes Wang Qian's artistic thinking and pure musical dreams.
pity…
She now represents a group of capital.
Therefore, she naturally stood on the opposite side of Wang Qian.
She could only try every possible means to bring Wang Qian down.
only…
She said softly, as if talking to herself, "What if he really wins the championship?"
exactly.
At this moment, the scene was silent for a moment.
Wang Jianqiang heard this and laughed, "Is it possible? How can he do that? I've learned about the contestants and international competition rules of this year's Voice of China. It seems fair, but in fact it is still very unfriendly to Asian contestants. Unless Wang Qian can perform several times better than other European and American contestants, he will never win the championship! It's not about performing several times better than European and American contestants in one show, but about doing it in every show. This is impossible."
"Ten judges, the champion mentors from each competition area, it seems that we in China also have one. One hundred thousand online viewers are selected from around the world, ten thousand in each of the ten major competition areas, it seems that we in China also have ten thousand voting audiences!"
"But... there are seven judges and 70,000 viewers in Europe and America. These seven judges and 70,000 viewers are unlikely to vote for Chinese contestants. In addition, the Indian region is also unlikely to support Chinese contestants. Most importantly, there are 10,000 live audiences, most of whom are local North American audiences. These audiences will only vote for local contestants."
"So, to put it simply, Wang Qian's desire to win the championship... only exists in fantasy."
"You can discuss with them now. When Wang Qian falls and becomes a national criminal, how should we divide up the resources he left behind? However, you have to tell them that Qian Qian Jing Ting must be acquired by our Tengfei and merged into our Tengfei! We don't care about anything else."
Wang Jianqiang spoke very confidently and firmly.
Once Wang Qian falls.
Qianqian Jingting has closed down.
If Tengfei acquires Qianqian Jingting, it will become the undisputed leader in the electronic English download market, with basically no rivals, forming a market monopoly in a sense.
It will definitely be a huge success after it goes on the market next year.
All managers who receive options will see their wealth skyrocket.
Jiang Rong didn't say anything after listening, but just nodded and remained silent. She also received some option rewards.
But, she thought in her heart.
With the persistence of artist Wang Qian, even if he failed, he might not sell Qian Qian Jing Ting!
Because that is Wang Qian’s only channel to release music to his fans.
Given Wang Qian’s previous unpleasant cooperation experience with Tengfei, it is conceivable that no matter what happens in the future, Wang Qian will never go to Tengfei to release songs!
Jiang Rong also wants to continue listening to Wang Qian's music in the future.
Therefore, she hoped in her heart that after Wang Qian's failure, he would keep his passion for music, continue to make music, and continue to publish his songs on Qianqian Jingting.
When the time comes, she will still download it to support it.
…
Several people from Mo Yin were sitting in several seats in the fifth row.
Yang Jiansen, Li Jing, Yu Zhongya.
And Juliet, Yu Zhongya’s junior sister!
The four of them sat next to each other.
Yang Jiansen said admiringly: "CCTV is really proud of itself this time."
Li Jing smiled and said, "That's right. Many people say that the Central Conservatory of Music will dominate the Chinese music scene in the future. Wang Qian, the five members of Ru Ke's Baojia Street Band, Chen Xiaowen, and Liu Shengnan are all from the Central Conservatory of Music."
Yang Jiansen corrected him: "Wang Qian is only a professor in name only at the Central Conservatory of Music. Professor Wang is also a professor at our Magic Conservatory of Music."
Li Jing asked bluntly, "So? So, is there anyone from our Mo Yin on the stage?"
Yang Jiansen was silent!
Although he is the director of the piano department, he also feels that the Central Conservatory of Music has really made a name for itself this time.
Those people of Magic Sound...
Neither Juliet nor Yu Zhongya said anything, they just looked at the stage quietly.
Just see.
At this moment, all the lights on the stage dimmed.
The live broadcast of the show has officially begun.
Then.
The lights came on again.
The host, Daji, dressed in a navy blue suit, walked quickly to the stage, holding the microphone and said loudly: "Dear audience members and friends in front of the TV, welcome to watch the 10th season of the Voice of China Annual Finals."
There was warm applause at the scene.
Everybody can't wait any longer.
Not far from Moyin and the others.
Xiao Dongmei and Xiao Dongcheng, brother and sister, also sat together and clapped softly.
Xiao Dongmei's eyes were filled with anticipation, and she was even a little excited when she clapped her hands.
Xiao Dongcheng said: "I don't know whether Professor Wang will come out first or Ru Ke's Baojia Street Band will come out first."
In another location.
Sisters Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Wenwen also sat together and clapped vigorously.
The two sisters were very happy and excited. They stretched their snow-white necks to look behind the stage, hoping to be the first to see Wang Qian appear.
…
Backstage!
Qin Xuerong had just come to the lounge from the audience seats.
Wang Qian, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin were all sitting on the sofa to rest, watching the live broadcast on the wall together.
Qin Xuerong poured Wang Qian a glass of water and gently rubbed his shoulders without saying anything. He just stayed with Wang Qian and supported him.
Wang Qian looked at the TV screen and said softly, "I feel like the Baojia Street Band might explode today!"
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, who are also musicians, as well as Zhao Wei and He Fulin who felt deeply pressured, all nodded with emotion!
I agree with what Wang Qian said.
because…
Today's contact.
They all found out.
Ru Ke and the other members of the Baojia Street Band were all too confident.
In great shape, full of confidence!
In this case.
It will bring out their best abilities and have a noticeable bonus effect during the performance.
but…
A smile appeared on Wang Qian's face: "I hope to see a surprise."
The better the Baojia Street Band performed, the happier he was.
He was just simply happy to hear good music and for Ru Ke and the others!
Wang Qian has a very simple mind.
In my previous life, I was involved in too many intrigues and petty schemes.
Throughout his life, Wang Qian tried to do things as simply, directly and freely as possible.
If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and others looked at Wang Qian with a little admiration.
It’s the finals now, and you can take honor and victory or defeat so lightly!
They truly admire this mentality.
If any of them put themselves in their shoes, they would feel that they cannot do this. They would all desire to win and hope that their opponents could perform only half as well.
But Wang Qian is different. He just hopes that Ru can sing the best she can.
There is a huge gap in ideological realm.
…
On stage.
The host Daji has invited several members of the Baojia Street Band to perform.
Ru Ke and her friends did not change their looks at the last minute, nor did they bring any stylists or makeup artists with them. They did not have such a team at all.
They are the ones who started the day with their styling and makeup. They look very young, stylish and full of personality.
And the five of them appeared.
The whole audience burst into warm applause.
Beams of light shining on them make them even more attractive.
There were a lot of whistles heard at the scene.
The looks of these five people alone are enough to attract a large number of people who care about appearance.
Ru Ke’s current popularity is almost as good as Liu Shengnan’s, which has been accumulated over many years. Moreover, because of the current popularity of The Voice of China, her appeal is even greater than that of Liu Shengnan.
Daji quickly came up, handed the microphone to Ru Ke, and asked, "Ru Ke, how do you feel now?"
Ru Ke whispered, "Happy, excited, and looking forward to it."
Daji: “Do you have confidence?”
Ru Ke smiled and said, “No!”
The host Daji, many audience members at the scene, and many audiences across the country were all stunned for a moment.
No confidence
How can you not have confidence
Even if your opponent is Professor Wang, you cannot lose confidence!
How to attract fans like this
How to promote and hype
Daji felt that it was difficult for him to be the host, so he could only ask, "Why?"
Ru Ke answered seriously: "Because I don't think about winning or losing. Winning or losing doesn't matter to us, we just want to sing. So, when I say I have no confidence, it's not that I really have no confidence, I just don't think about these things. We just simply want to sing for everyone to hear."
Daji wiped his sweat off his forehead, and then said admiringly: "So that's how it is. You are indeed pure musicians. Your artistic level is several levels beyond that of mortals like me. I hope you can sing out the effect you want. Come on!"
Ru Ke: “Thank you…”
Daji said quickly: "Okay, next, we will start our first official performance tonight. Ru Ke and her friends will bring us a new song they composed themselves, "Traveling around the world with style!"
It was only after Daji looked at the prompter in the audience that he knew the title of the song that Ru Ke and the others wanted to sing.
The program crew tried their best to keep it secret.
There was warm applause at the scene.
Daji turned and walked off the stage.
The stage was left to Ru Ke, Yang Zixuan and others.
Yang Zixuan, Xiong Jia, Yan Ru, and Zhu Qiqi quickly took their positions, went to their own instruments, and confirmed that there were no problems with the instruments they brought before signaling to start!
The music starts!
However, the opening music was not accompanied by four live instruments.
Instead, it was a melodious flute prelude recorded in advance.
Just this melodious flute sound immediately caught the ears of almost all the audience.
It was like a thorn that pierced their eardrums directly, and the sound went straight into the depths of their minds!
then…
It was still not a live accompaniment from a band, but a slow erhu music!
Flute, paired with erhu.
A folk music style comes to your face!
Then, the live band accompaniment began.
Ru Ke picked up the microphone and sang a powerful song with full emotions and power!
Ru Ke's voice can be melodious, affectionate, empty and ethereal, deep and heavy, and it can also be as sonorous and powerful as it is now!
The title of the ever-changing queen has become popular on the Internet.
Known as the first queen of singing skills!
Liu Shengnan and Chen Xiaowen are both slightly inferior because they have more distinct personal styles.
Ru Ke came from the national team and sang in the National Song and Dance Troupe for several years. Although she has her own personal style, it is not so obvious. She can sing many different styles of songs!
The atmosphere at the scene became heated.
In the lounge.
When everyone heard the prelude music, their eyes lit up, and then Ru Ke's singing voice was heard.
Wang Qian and the others all felt a sense of relief!
as if…
You can let go of all your worries and live a more relaxed and free life.
The music is bright and relaxing, and one can’t help but relax.
The song is catchy and powerful, giving people a sense of trust and encouragement in life.
The lyrics are positive, meaningful, rhyming and catchy.
To sum up.
Ru Ke only sang a few lyrics.
Everyone can judge it.
This is a rare good song.
Wang Qian felt that it was like the song "Walk Away with Style" that he had heard in his previous life, but it had more of a strong rock style and impact, and more of Ru Ke and the others' reflections on life, which added some artistic depth to the music!
However, ordinary people don’t think as much as Wang Qian. They just think it sounds good and feel touched. That’s enough!
Murong Yue's eyes were always shining, and she said softly: "Ru Ke sang really well. This song sounds very nice, and it also contains her own thoughts."
Jiang Yu nodded slightly, feeling a little excited, and even many ideas began to stir!
Ru Ke and the others can write their ideas into a song and sing it so well, so can she do it too
Every musician!
Everyone has a desire to create.
Just like every author, there is a desire to express himself.
They all want to express something deep in their hearts and long for recognition.
only…
Jiang Yu glanced at Wang Qian, then quickly extinguished the fire in his heart.
She knew that she was far inferior to Wang Qian.
In this band, there is no space and opportunity for her to display her own ideas and unique style!
Unless she goes solo or forms another band.
But, she won't do it.
Otherwise, she could continue to cooperate with Wang Qian, become a member of Wang Qian's band, and follow Wang Qian for the rest of her life.
Otherwise, she will continue to study piano and strive to achieve some achievements in the field of piano, so that she will not let her studies of so many years go to waste, and she can also give an explanation to her mother and the school!
so…
She knew that she was not suited to creative work.
Only suitable for some technical jobs.
Wang Qian was listening to Ru Ke's singing and watching the Baojia Street Band's performance very seriously.
Five people, each with their own unique style.
On the stage, even without listening to the songs, just watching them is a beautiful sight.
The atmosphere on the scene became increasingly heated.
Towards the end of the song, many audience members in the back stood up and gave Ru Ke and other members of the Baojia Street Band their applause and screams.
The singing continued for several minutes!
For more than a minute afterwards, the applause and screams hardly stopped.
Even the four mentors sitting in the mentor chairs applauded along.
Almost all the celebrity artists in the venue were also very supportive and applauded together!
After all, the entertainment industry is essentially a world of fame and fortune where everyone is riding on a sedan chair.
When Ru Ke stopped singing, the applause and screams reached a climax!
Thunderous applause broke out.
Ru Ke held the microphone with her hands open, facing the audience below the stage. There was an expression of enjoyment on her face, as if she was embracing all the applause.
Yang Zixuan, Xiong Jia, Zhu Qiqi and Yan Ru also stood up and bowed slightly to the audience.
First show!
it's over…
The five people stood in a row in the middle, facing all the audience.
The applause lasted for nearly half a minute before gradually stopping.
Seeing the lively atmosphere at the scene, Ru Ke and the other four all smiled and felt very satisfied.
Daji came up and said, "I was so excited after listening to it. It was so beautiful! I couldn't help but want to give up all my current work, take a simple bag, and travel around the world. This is the life I want. But unfortunately... I can't walk..."
Daji expressed the troubles of almost everyone.
Who doesn’t want to go out into the world and see the world
Unfortunately, in life, most people have no control over their own behavior.
I want to see the world, but I can't get away.
Daji said to Ru Ke and the others, "Ru Ke, Zi Xuan, Jia Jia, Yan Ru, Qi Qi, your performance was amazing."
Several people bowed to the audience again and said together: "Thank you!"
Daji looked at the four instructors and said, "Now, please give us a professional rating!"
