The day of the broadcast.
Early in the morning, rumors were flying all over the internet.
"Sing! is pretty good!"
"Yes, I went to the scene that day. It was very good!"
"I think it's just so-so. It's okay."
"It's a continuation of The Voice's style, but without any breakthroughs. The host has been changed, and the guest coaches have also been changed. I can only say that it's not too bad, but it's not really a surprise."
"I think Sing! is in for a tragedy!"
"Why do you say that?"
"That's because I Am a Singer invited a bunch of people that none of you would have ever expected. I was there at the recording venue, and everyone was stunned!"
"Ah?"
"Who are they?"
"That's right, hurry up and tell me!"
"I'll only say one. Zhao Wuliu!"
"Impossible!"
"Haha, keep bragging!"
"Are you bragging too much?"
"Zhao Wuliu was once a god in the music industry. How could he possibly participate in a variety show?"
"Holy shit! Zhao Wuliu, Chen Guang, and He Huan are really here!"
"Chen Guang? The Big Brother of the music industry is going to PK someone on a show? You're thinking too much! With Old Chen's status and strength, it would be more appropriate for him to be a teacher. It was impossible for him to go into battle with his bare hands! He Huan, you must be dreaming. He's a prince of love songs, and he can write and sing them. He's a big shot in the music industry right now. Is he crazy? Competing with his peers on the show? Was there a need for him to do that? Those who could go on this show were probably all has-beens or newcomers! So, you have to be careful when you brag. Don't brag about things that others think are unreliable. "
"They're making things up. I went to the scene. Huo Dongfang is here!"
"Ah? Sect Master Huo is crossing realms? "
"Old Huo's singing is pretty good too. It's very likely that he'll go."
"Li Xiaoxian also went."
"It can't be?"
"Didn't she just participate in King of Masked Singers?"
"She really went and sang very well!"
"Wow, that's really possible. After all, Li Xiaoxian worked with Beijing Television before."
"Zhang Xia is one of the contestants."
"Get lost, Grandma Zhang is going to PK with a bunch of pop singers? Do you think I'm an idiot? "
"F * ck, you're the idiot!"
"It's annoying that a bunch of people who haven't even been to the scene are trying to confuse us!"
"I + + + … ¥&%%% ¥# # #% … # @!!"
Beijing Television did not reveal anything officially. Zhang Ye and the program team staff also kept their mouths shut. Sometimes, maintaining a sense of mystery was more attractive than publicizing it with great fanfare. But as there were over a thousand people at the recording studio, someone was bound to reveal something. Zhang Ye and the others did not stop them, nor did they say anything. They just allowed everyone to say whatever they wanted. In the end, who would have thought that the water would become muddier and muddier!
Zhang Xia, Zhao Wuliu, Chen Guang, He Huan, Xiaodong, and the others were all exposed. However, there were many others who were exposed as well. For example, Huo Dongfang, Li Xiaoxian, Shu Han, Liao Yiqi, Sun Xiaoguo, and so on. Furthermore, every single one of them claimed that they were at the recording venue that day and were sitting below the stage. They claimed that they had seen them perform on stage with their own eyes. As a result, the situation became more and more chaotic. This bunch of Weibo accounts that were just trying to ride on the popularity or for fun had completely confused the industry insiders!
Who could it be?
Who had gone?
…
At a certain film crew.
Huo Dongfang's phone rang.
"Old Huo, you're great!"
"Ah? What? "
"Stop pretending. Work hard. Zhang Ye's program's viewership ratings shouldn't be too bad."
"What are you talking about, Old Liu?"
"Didn't you participate in I Am a Singer?"
"What? I didn't participate in it? "
"Ah?"
"I was filming a show!"
…
Central TV Department 1.
In the program team office of Sing!.
The news on Weibo had also reached them.
"Sect Leader Huo has gone?"
"It's fine. Huo Dongfang's singing is just average. He's just a crossover guest star. Although he's very popular, he's still not a professional singer!"
"Hur hur, Zhang Ye has also fallen."
"Yeah, he also knows that he's started asking the big names for support."
"But what's the use of that? Sing!'s stage is much more professional than theirs. When the time comes, the audience will know who's singing better when they see it. The experts are still among the people. Just look at the first episode's contestants. They're really good at singing, and most professional singers might not even be a match for them. With that as a comparison, so what if Huo Dongfang is up there? What if Sun Xiaoguo is up there? For a singing show, it's still going to depend on one's singing skills! "
"Li Xiaoxian has joined again?"
"Don't worry. Li Xiaoxian's singing is good, but it's not the best. Our Sing! has Teacher Fan Wenli to hold the fort."
"But what about Zhao Wuliu?"
"And Chen Guang? He Huan? "
"Come on, that's fake news."
"Yeah, I Am a Singer can't possibly invite them!"
"Hur hur, there's also the rumor that Zhang Xia will be taking part. Their brains must be flooded with water. Hahaha, anyone with a brain would know that it's all bullshit! That's why the name list of Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, He Huan, Zhao Wuliu, Xue Kaiqi, and Xiaodong that those people mentioned earlier is obviously fake! Adding up the names on this list, that's half of the music industry. If they're all here, wouldn't that be a clean sweep for any show? What else can the others do? That's why it's impossible! "
"Right!"
…
On the same night.
The countdown to the start of the broadcast.
At Zhang Ye's studio. The television was on and the employees were gathered together. His parents were also here. They had made quite a lot of dumplings during the day and insisted on rewarding Zhang Ye's employees with them. In the open kitchen, there were two pots cooking, and the dumplings were gurgling and steaming.
"Come, come, let's eat!" His mother brought the dumplings over.
His father also called out, "Eat more. There's chives, pork, and three delicacies."
Ha Qiqi went over to take the dumplings. "Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Uncle."
Little Wang said, "Auntie, let me do it!"
Zhang Zuo said, "Ah, it's so delicious!"
Wu Yi said, "I'm reminded of the dumplings my mom made."
Tong Fu said exaggeratedly, "It's so delicious that I want to cry!"
His mother laughed and said, "Then eat more. There's still a few pots left."
Zhang Ye said as he ate, "Hey, it's starting soon. Switch to Central TV Department 1."
"OK." Little Wang immediately picked up the remote control.
However, his mother stared at her son. "What are you watching Central TV Department 1 for? Watch Beijing Television."
Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I have to understand what my opponents are up to. I recorded and edited I Am a Singer. I've already watched the first episode seven or eight times."
"I've never watched it!" His mother rolled her eyes.
Actually, the studio's staff had not watched it either. They were Zhang Ye's private team and did not participate in the show's production. Of course, they also wanted to watch I Am a Singer as soon as possible. In the end, Zhang Ye could only dejectedly carry a plate of dumplings to the conference room and switch on the TV to watch it while eating. The others waited outside for I Am a Singer. Later on, Chenchen also came over to eat the dumplings.
It was time to start the broadcast!
Zhang Ye watched Sing! and started his ridiculing mode.
"Whoa, they're even copying the logo?"
"Heh, the sound effects aren't that great? It's still the equipment I used to use? It's from a year ago. It's already outdated, yet they're still shamelessly using it? "
"What host? There's nothing special about it."
"The first contestant isn't that great!"
"The coaches aren't fighting for the contestants."
"Hai, how childish. The director is too childish!"
With the conference room door closed, he was the only one talking to himself. Zhang Ye kept criticizing Sing! until there was nothing good coming out of his mouth. In any case, this fellow did not have a single good thing to say and found everything to be an eyesore. In all fairness, the show was not that bad and was still passable. Although it was imitating Zhang Ye's The Voice's first season throughout, it was at least 80% similar. It was just that there was nothing new about it.
At this moment, his parents exclaimed from outside!
"Xiaodong!"
"It's Xiaodong!"
Soon after.
"Oh my God!"
"Zhao Wuliu!"
"H-Did he really go?"
…
Central TV Department 1.
Sing!'s program team was also dumbfounded!
"What?"
"What's going on?"
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
"H-How did they …"
"That's impossible! That's impossible! "
"How did Zhang Ye do it?"
"How did he manage to invite these people!"
…
Meanwhile.
Weibo blew up in an instant!
"Holy shit!"
"Hurry up and watch I Am a Singer!"
"Xiaodong really came!"
"Zhao Wuliu really came!"
"It's Chen Guang next!"
"This is crazy! These people are crazy! "
"What those people said earlier was true!"
"My titanium dog eyes have been blinded!"
"It's so good!"
"I cried listening to it!"
"The sound effects are so heaven-defying!"
"This sound effect, there's really nothing else like it!"
"Isn't their singing too awesome! Is this the lineup of half of the music industry? "
"It's so good that I can't believe it!"
"Sing! is going to be a flop! Compared to I Am a Singer, the contestants on Sing! are singing like children playing house? "
"Ah! Zhang Xia is the finale! "
"Damn! 'Wild Rose' was sung to perfection! "
"An artist, she's really a fucking artist!"
"In front of Grandma Zhang, even Zhang Ye's' Wild Rose 'is nothing!"
"I have a feeling that I Am a Singer is going to become a viral hit!"
"I Am a Singer's show's creativity and settings are amazing!"
"Sing! is going to be under a lot of pressure!"
"That might not necessarily be the case. After all, Sing! has a strong fan base, so it's hard to say how the viewership ratings will turn out."
"In terms of the show's quality, I Am a Singer is already heaven-defying. With just these seven contestants put together, who wouldn't they be able to sweep away?"
"They're going to announce the rankings!"
"Damn! What is Zhang Ye doing! "
"That scammer!"
"Zhang Ye, your grandpa!"
"I really want to sit on him and kill him!"
"Why aren't they announcing the results yet?"
"Heavens, the seven contestants only sang for a total of 20 minutes or so. You've been announcing the rankings for 20 minutes, but only two contestants have been announced?"
"Zhang Ye! You're finished! "
"Pfft, this joker!"
"What do you mean by the fastest talking host in history? He's the fucking slowest executive director in history! Zhang Ye, do you believe that I won't smash the windows in your house? "
"Ahhh, I'm dying of anxiety!"
"Just who is in first place?"
"Zhang Ye! You've angered everyone! "
The audience was shouting and hating him. But even with all the scolding, no one went to change the channel. They were still waiting excitedly for Zhang Ye to tease them. Even if they knew that this fellow was doing it on purpose, they still had to watch. Because this was the most crucial moment!
Sing!'s fifth contestant came on stage, and I Am a Singer was still in the midst of announcing the rankings. Sing!'s seventh contestant came on stage, and I Am a Singer was still in the midst of announcing the rankings. Sing! had already finished its broadcast, and I Am a Singer … was still in the midst of announcing the rankings!
Keep thinking about it!
What kind of a goddamn horse is this!
The audience's desire to smack Zhang Ye's face with a brick across the television was very much the same!
After all the hard work, the first episode of I Am a Singer's rankings were finally out!
First: Zhang Xia
Second: Chen Guang
Third: Zhao Wuliu
Fourth: Xiaodong
Fifth: He Huan
Sixth: Xue Kaiqi
Seventh: Amy
The final tally was not shown yet. To keep the suspense, it would be announced at the same time as the next elimination round.
