Hangzhou, Zhejiang East Satellite TV No. 1 Studio Hall.
This studio, which can accommodate 1,250 viewers, was just opened by Zhedong Satellite TV at the beginning of this year, replacing the original main broadcast hall. It is also the recording location for the first episode of the first season of "The Voice of China" today.
Although the studio hall of Zhedong Satellite TV is not the largest among TV stations of the same level in terms of scale, but because it is newly established, the facilities inside are very advanced, and it is equipped with one of the few LED ultra-high-definition giant backgrounds in China. Screens, top-of-the-line sound systems and video recording equipment.
In the next month, Studio No. 1 will serve the recording of "The Voice of China".
Star Factory Media, as the producer of "The Voice of China", was able to obtain the right to use the No. 1 studio hall of Zhedong Satellite TV. In addition to Tian Tian's own network resources, more importantly, Zhedong Satellite TV is very optimistic about the relationship between the two parties. In this cooperation, in order to ensure the right to broadcast, we took out a very sincere bargaining chip.
The reason is very simple, because Star Factory Media has two other shareholders besides Tian Tian, that is, Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er. Is it possible that the program they jointly participated in the production of will fail
Think about "Blue Love" and "Full House", as well as "A Chinese Ghost Story", which just won over 1 billion domestic box office, the answer is beyond doubt!
The promotion of "The Voice of China" has already started, and Zhedong Satellite TV has also cooperated vigorously. If it is replaced by other outsourced programs, how can there be such treatment.
Now that everything is ready, the only thing left is Dongfeng!
The studio hall has been newly decorated early, and the iconic logo of "The Voice of China" hangs high above the black dome, shining brightly under the spotlights.
But the most eye-catching thing is the four big red chairs placed in front of the performance stage.
There are still two hours before the official recording starts, but the four instructors have arrived in the studio ahead of time. Except for Lu Chen, the other three are all attracted by these four chairs with exaggerated size and unique shape.
"This is the mentor swivel chair?"
Chen Fei'er asked curiously: "Made to order? It looks like it has a lot of functions."
She had seen the planning plan of "The Voice of China" very early, and knew that the mentor swivel chair needed to be specially produced to highlight the uniqueness of the program and enhance the difference between "The Voice of China" and other reality talent shows.
But it was the first time she saw the real finished swivel chair.
These four chairs are placed in front, and the momentum is quite amazing first of all. There is an independent black turntable under each chair, and there are devices such as light strips and audio equipment on the chair body.
Lu Chen replied with a smile: "Yes, the structure of the tutor swivel chair is a bit complicated, because it is a smart, high-tech, high-end product. The system can precisely control the sound, lighting, rotation and other functions, and there is also massage Waiting for the function, everyone can sit on it and experience it now.”
After he put forward the program idea and plan of "The Voice of China", he basically let Tian Tian's Star Factory Media do it. Only these four mentor swivel chairs, he supervised the whole production process.
The main part of the swivel chair is a bright red leather high back and seat cushion. It is necessary to ensure that the instructor sits on the chair without earphones and faces the students, but can have the best listening effect. At the same time, the distance between the chair and the main sound of the stage is also very particular.
The basic design drawing was drawn by Lu Chen himself, and the functional requirements were also proposed by him. For example, the swivel chair has a core component—the motor installed under the chair, which is responsible for precise rotation and has a shock absorption function. It is controlled by a locking device at the back to ensure The chair rotates only when the button is pressed.
Such a variety, coupled with the small quantity of production, piled up the cost very high. The total cost of four chairs plus a spare part and spare parts for wear and tear exceeded 2 million.
Its technological content is very high, otherwise how can it reflect the force of "The Voice of China".
Of course, Lu Chen registered this swivel chair as a global patent, and "The Voice of China" also registered the copyright of the program type to ensure that it will not be imitated by unscrupulous copycats.
It may be possible to sell it abroad in the future.
Chen Fei'er, Shi Fang, and Liao Jia sat on it as promised, and their own on-site staff explained the functions to the three.
Liao Jia moved his buttocks so that he could lean back comfortably in the chair. The leather material used for the mentor swivel chair is imported calfskin, with fine texture, soft and smooth texture, and excellent hand feeling. In addition, the design conforms to the principles of ergonomics, with a sense of wrapping and support. The lining is excellent, and the feeling of sitting up is naturally extraordinary.
He also tried the massage function of the chair, and then gave Lu Chen a thumbs up: "Great!"
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing—the 400,000 chairs are not good, so there is a problem!
Chen Fei'er pressed a hidden button under the armrest, and a gust of soft wind suddenly blew up, blowing her hair fluttering.
Seeing it was interesting, Shi Fang also tried it, and the two queens were having so much fun like little girls.
Lu Chen couldn't laugh or cry, and after letting the two play for a while, he gestured to the staff.
The next moment, the four swivel chairs automatically rotated so that the backs of the chairs faced the stage, and the three of Chen Fei'er were facing the auditorium.
This is one of the biggest features of "The Voice of China", that is, the blind selection of instructors. The instructors choose students entirely by the singer's voice. It doesn't matter whether the students are old or young, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly. The only thing to impress a mentor is strength.
That would give people a sense of fairness, because the phenomenon of judging people by their appearance exists all the time, no matter in the real society or in the entertainment industry, and it is even quite serious.
In the past, there were many talent shows, and the first choice was those handsome men and women. It was useless to sing well or dance well.
The model of "The Voice of China" can be regarded as a small subversion.
The three of Chen Feier knew the rules of "The Voice of China" in advance, so they were not surprised when the chair turned, but it felt very fresh.
One of the swivel chairs was empty because Lu Chen was standing on the stage. He asked the staff to bring him a guitar and stood in front of the microphone.
In the preview before the official recording of the program, he was the first "student" to come on stage to be judged by several mentors.
Lu Chen plucked the strings and played the prelude. The sound of the strings was transmitted to the backstage through the microphone, and after being adjusted by high-precision equipment, it was input into the speakers. It seemed like water pouring down into the empty studio hall.
