The recording countdown for "The Voice" was one week away. Wang Xuan went to the audition studio to watch it. Based on the status of the contestants, he confirmed the first batch of blind audition contestants and alternate contestants.
Then we started recording VCR short videos of the players.
Due to insufficient manpower, Wang Xuan also recruited two film and television directors Du Feng and Wang Wei, as well as Chen Kai, who had studied with him before. He first asked the latter to follow him to learn how to record the contestants' VCR short films, and then asked them to Start helping with the recording.
Even so, Wang Xuan can only record the VCRs of the contestants who will appear on the first episode first, and other contestants can only make up for the recording on another day. Fortunately, as long as he completes the recording of the first episode of "The Voice", he will have more One week to prepare.
On the second day of the countdown, the contestants’ VCR short film recording was completed.
As early as the fourth day of the countdown, Wang Xuan handed over all the VCR recordings of the players to Chen Kai and others, and he himself went to the stage again to confirm whether the stage layout and various equipment fully met his requirements.
This is also the sixth time that Wang Xuan has inspected the stage equipment and equipment, and it can be said that he takes the trouble.
There is no way, this aspect is a top priority and cannot be neglected.
Fortunately, there have been no problems.
On the 16th, there are still 5 days left before "The Voice" is scheduled to be broadcast. It is also today, at 8 o'clock in the evening, that "The Voice" finally started recording.
Recording scene.
All the staff of the column group gathered together.
Wang Xuan is doing the last work confirmation.
"The lighting is normal!"
"The device status is confirmed to be normal!"
"Subtitles and background music have been added to the player's VCR in the later stage, and they are confirmed to be correct."
"The audience is already waiting outside the venue with their admission tickets in hand."
"Four mentors have arrived, and the ten contestants who participated in the first blind audition are already in the backstage area."
"..."
Everything was ready. After confirming the last link, Wang Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "The preparations are all done. We still have the last battle, which is also the most critical one. The last battle is over. Let's not do it." Drop the chain!"
"clear!"
"Mr. Wang, just give your orders, we are the guns in your hands, shooting wherever you point them!"
everyone said.
Wang Xuan said hello: "Everyone is in place, let the audience in, and the instructor is in place, ready to record!"
at the same time.
The outside world is not peaceful.
As early as 10 days ago, Yanjing TV's "Super Idol" started recording. In order to maintain the popularity, some behind-the-scenes footage was specially shot and released every now and then, triggering a lot of public discussion.
"Haha, it's fun to see some behind-the-scenes footage from "Super Idol"."
"Yeah, especially Yu Hao's few dances, they're really funny."
"If I hadn't watched this show, I wouldn't have known that Yu Hao could dance. As I said, Yu Hao dances so coquettishly. The video of him and Wang Ziyi's awkward dance really amused me."
"I'm really looking forward to this show. It won't be aired until the 21st, so there's still a week left."
"By the way, has the recording of "The Voice" started? Why is there no news at all?"
"It seems that the recording was just done today. A friend of mine has applied for live tickets and is probably already in the venue now."
"Isn't it? Are you just starting to record now? Isn't this just a rush to get on the shelves?"
"That's right, the time is too short. I feel like given enough time to prepare, this show may not be possible, let alone starting recording now."
"I'm not optimistic about this program either. I feel that the production budget of more than 100 million will be wasted."
"It's impossible. The lineup of mentors in "The Voice" determines that this program cannot win."
"Not necessarily, the mentor lineup is useless. In the end, it all depends on the contestants. After all, the contestants are the protagonists, and the mentors are just supporting characters in the show. It's impossible for the audience to just change the channel from beginning to end just to watch the mentors, right? "
"That's my opinion too.
I actually like Wang Xuan quite a lot, and I'm really worried about him. Will Wang Xuan's myth be shattered this time? "
"There is no eternal myth, and the golden body will always be broken."
Some voices are relatively kind.
But some voices are more malicious.
"This crappy show is never going to be any better."
"Now we are discussing "Super Idol", why are you mentioning "The Voice"?"
"Wang Xuan himself is stupid, who can blame him? You said he didn't make good movies, so why did he suddenly plan a show? And he also planned such a stupid talent show, just listening to the sound? What is this called, what is it? Do you mean? In other talent shows, the contestants are not only beautiful, but also good at singing, but what about "The Voice"? Just the gimmick of being good at singing? Doesn't look at looks? Then why should we watch your show? I do. Isn’t it good that she is beautiful and can sing well?”
"that's right."
"I guess Wang Xuan wants to plan a different talent show, but it's a bit of a dead end. If you can't go to a good place, you have to go to a dead end!"
"I think he just drifts off and thinks he's awesome at everything."
...
In response to these malicious voices, Wang Xuan naturally had to speak to Wang Xuan.
"You guys can't stand it, can you? Isn't it enough that you were slapped in the face?"
"Here again, I guess the scar has healed and I have forgotten the pain."
"Before, you kept saying that "The Voice" was nothing, but it turned out that the production budget was a record, the mentor lineup was a record, the title fee was a record, and the face was slapped. How long has it been? The scars have been healed so quickly. Does it hurt?"
"Don't blame them. These bastards are probably from the navy, and they just deliberately followed the rhythm of "The Voice"."
.....
It seems that the navy is really setting the pace, and most likely it was the navy bought from "Super Idol". In the past, Yanjing Satellite TV actually did not pay attention to "The Voice", but now, it can be said that it needs to pay more attention to it.
There's nothing I can do about it. The lineup of mentors on "The Voice" is so incredible. Yu Hao and others danced out of necessity. Otherwise, "Super Idol" would not be as popular as "The Voice."
Wang Xuan also saw that Yanjing Satellite TV was deliberately setting the pace, but he didn't bother to pay attention. In his opinion, "Super Idol" and "The Voice" are not on the same level at all. No matter how Yanjing Satellite TV sets the pace, it will be useless. After the two programs are aired, the ratings of "Super Idol" are destined to be... "The Voice" crushes!
In another time and space, the four mentors Na Ying, Yang Kun, Yu Chengqing, and Liu Huan were sitting on "The Voice" and they were able to create ratings myths. Comparatively speaking, Qiao Ziwei and others are much more popular than Yinghong and the others. How can "The Voice" not be popular in this time and space?
Yangcheng TV.
"The Voice" recording scene.
Audiences were gradually entering with passes, and one by one came in and sat down. Soon the whole venue was filled with densely packed spectators. At first glance, it seemed that there were at least seven or eight hundred people.
Four instructors have already appeared on the stage and sat down on the instructor's chairs. A staff member is explaining to them the functions and precautions of the chairs.
Audiences came in one after another.
"Hurry up ahead."
"Don't rush, your sister, the recording of "The Voice" hasn't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Wow, I saw Wang Xuan!"
"I saw it too, but I just popped up and went back behind the scenes."
"Don't worry about Wang Xuan, I came here today to see Qiao Ziwei anyway."
"Support Weiwei!"
"I saw Weiwei and sat on the instructor's chair. Weiwei's outfit is so cool today!"
"So handsome! So dashing."
"Hey, this stage is really big!"
"The key point is that it's very cool. How much did it cost? Compared with the stages of other talent shows here, they are in the sky and on the ground. The gap is huge."
"Compared with the Spring Festival Gala stage, this stage is not much different. No wonder
To get an investment of more than 100 million, it’s really a big investment! "
After the audience took their seats, the neighbors chatted with each other.
Over there, Yang Zheng also personally went to pick up a wave of spectators. The reason why Yang Zheng greeted him personally was because this wave of spectators was a bit special. They were all sponsors of "The Voice". Including Guan Yunhai, chairman of Shangpin Home Furnishing, Duan Xiaobai, general manager of Wanbao Mattress, and Murong Mingri, CEO of Gemei Electric, contacted Yang Zheng in advance and wanted to watch the first recording live. Yang Zheng asked Wang Xuan what he meant. Xuan naturally had no objection, so Yang Zheng arranged seats for a group of people.
In fact, Wang Xuan and Yang Zheng felt like Ming Jing. The naming fee of 60 million is quite a lot, and the advertising price of 10,000 per second is not low. They came to the scene this time and said they wanted to watch the show, so they didn't mean to inspect it. ?
As soon as the advertisers arrived, Yang Zheng's pressure increased greatly. Although he believed in Wang Xuan very much, if the program failed, they really couldn't deal with these advertisers.
After Yang Zheng arranged for advertisers, the leaders of Yangcheng Satellite TV also came.
The one walking in front was the director of the station, and beside him were the deputy directors, directors of various departments, and others. They were all heads of Yangcheng Satellite TV, and they were also present.
Yang Zheng hurriedly came forward: "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, Director Wang..."
The station director waved his hand, "You're busy, don't worry about us. We're just curious about what the show "The Voice" is about."
"I'm curious too." Yang Zheng smiled, "Then I'll get to work first."
After a while, many people from other column groups of Yangcheng Satellite TV also came to the scene silently, found some seats in the back row, sat down, and started chatting with each other. Obviously, the recording of the first episode of "The Voice" attracted not only the attention of the outside world, but also the internal employees and program managers of Yangcheng Satellite TV.
I am curious about why this talent show, which is obviously very popular and seems to be old-fashioned, spends so much money to hire such a big-name mentor, and what tricks Wang Xuan can do!
These are also people in the industry. This is their first time coming to the recording site of "The Voice". They haven't seen the show yet, but the stage equipment has given them a huge impact.
So damn luxurious!
The lighting equipment on the left costs at least 400,000.
The machine on the right is the latest international model and is worth 500,000 yuan.
There is also the large screen and related supporting equipment at the back, which starts at least one million!
It is said that they have seen many programs live, but apart from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala venue that dares to spend so much money, there is really no other program that dares to spend as much as "The Voice".
The key point is that even if everyone dares to spend it, they don’t have the budget. Who the hell can spend 180 million to create a talent show? Don’t you even dare to think about it?
At this moment, Wang Xuan shouted: "Attention all departments, countdown to five minutes!"
The audience heard it and suddenly became quiet.
Wang Xuan started to go through the routine and said to the audience: "Please put your mobile phones in silent mode. The recording will start in a moment. Please don't make any noise. This is the blind audition stage. You can see all aspects of the contestants, but when the instructor does not turn around You can't see it, so after the contestants appear, please don't speak when you see the contestants. Try to keep the scene as quiet as possible when the contestants are singing and talking to the instructor, and especially don't make strange sounds other than applause, such as strange screams and whistling. And so on, otherwise it will affect the recording process and have to start over again. Time is tight, so we will try to go through it from beginning to end. Please cooperate with me, thank you."
After hearing this, the audience began to turn off their mobile phones or mute them.
Wang Xuan turned around, pinched the wheat and said, "One final confirmation, are the four instructors ready?"
Qiao Ziwei and others all made an OK gesture.
"OK, all departments are in place, music is ready, countdown three, two, one, start!"
If it is broadcast on TV, there will be a short video and introduction at the front, but the live recording will not be played, it will be the opening song directly!
Recording begins!
The music started, and many spectators squinted their eyes, feeling that they were enjoying themselves too much. I have to say, imported equipment is imported equipment, and the sound quality is great!
The director nodded.
The executives of Yangcheng Satellite TV were also impressed by the sound quality after hearing it. This set of the world's top equipment is a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for!
The stage went dark, leaving only a few beams of red light flying around the venue!
Suddenly, the stage lights began to focus, turning into a white light that suddenly froze at the stage entrance.
The first mentor came out - Xu Guanrong!
Under the spotlight, Xu Guanrong, dressed in a black suit, walked out slowly holding a microphone, "I want to fly into the sky, side by side with the sun, the world is waiting for me to change..."
While singing, Xu Guanrong slowly moved to the center of the stage. The stage lights also cast a beam of light, which was fixed on Xu Guanrong and moved slowly with him.
At the stage entrance, the second instructor appeared. Before anyone could see it, his voice came on stage first!
"I want to dream and never worry about others seeing it. I can make it come true here!" It's Huang Zhan. Even though Huang Zhan is a top songwriter, his voice is bold and majestic, and he is also ranked among the best in the music world.
Then, Zhang Lan appeared on the stage: "Laugh loudly, let you and I stand side by side, there is no limit to joy!"
Zhang Lan had always sang red songs and folk songs before. It wasn't until she sang "Iron-Blooded Heart" with Luo Wen that everyone knew that Zhang Lan could sing pop songs so well. The stage of "The Voice" is destined to make the world get to know Zhang Lan again.
Her singing voice and her singing skills are definitely at the level of a devil.
Finally, the last mentor makes his final appearance!
The moment she came out, the entire audience stood up cheering and screaming!
Qiao Ziwei waved her hand to greet the audience and made a shining appearance: "Put aside your worries and stride forward bravely. I will stand in the middle of the stage!"
The melody suddenly became intense!
The four of them looked at each other and sang together:
"I believe that I am who I am, I believe in tomorrow, and I believe that youth has no horizon."
"Being on the beach at sunset or on the busy streets is the most beautiful paradise in my heart."
"I believe in freedom, I believe in hope, I believe that I can touch the sky with my hands. Having you by my side makes life fresher and makes every moment more exciting. I-do-elieve!"
The audience was excited, some were waving their arms, some were screaming!
The four voices have different voices. Zhang Lan's voice is ethereal and beautiful, leaning towards bel canto singing. Xu Guanrong's voice is more explosive, Huang Zhan's bold and magnetic, Qiao Ziwei's sweetness is like a nightingale. The different timbres of the four are blended just right. Perform this theme song with great joy.
"I believe in freedom, I believe in hope!"
"I believe I can touch the sky with my hand!"
"Having you by my side makes life fresher and makes every moment more exciting!"
"I-do-elieve!"
The perfect stage!
Perfect sound effects!
Perfect singing voice!
An opening song has already set the audience on fire!
"Wow, this sounds so good!"
"You sing so well!"
"My mom, I really didn't expect Teacher Huang Zhan to be so good at singing. I always thought he could only compose music."
"Me too. The four mentors of "The Voice" are all damn capable singers, the ceiling of the music industry!"
"The key is that the song is good! The melody is grand, and the lyrics are also grand. Want to fly into the sky and stand side by side with the sun? How heroic is this!"
"This song will definitely be a hit!"
"Yes, I don't know what the show is like, but the theme song is awesome and the opening effect is amazing!"
"It's on fire, it's really on fire."
...
