The woman rolled her eyes. "Who are you lying to? The entire Central TV knows that The Voice is holding its first auditions today. It was even reported on the news. Hurry up and tell me, how many people have been selected? How was your singing? I love watching singing talent shows the most. How does the contestant you chose compare to the contestants from other satellite channels? "
"Uh."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to get off work.
There was another old man!
How were they supposed to compete?
On the other side.
Zhang Zuo said, "Never."
Later on, a university classmate of hers came. She was also a girl who worked at Central TV. The two of them had graduated together and joined Central TV at the same time. They had always had a good relationship.
"Uh, this …"
"I'll be responsible for this page."
A bicycle repairman!
The same scene was happening to almost every staff member of The Voice's program team. Right now, The Voice was a hot topic of discussion, and Central TV's internal staff were also very concerned and curious about it. Quite a few of them even wanted to go to the audition venue to have a look, but due to the regulations, those who were not related to the program team were not allowed to enter the venue. As a result, everyone's curiosity had nowhere to go, so they could only wait until they got off work before immediately looking for their friends, classmates, or former colleagues from The Voice's program team to find out more about the situation.
The woman greeted him. "Wu Yi, you're off work?"
On the other side was Central TV Department 1's Deputy Director Jiang Yuan. "Little Zhang, why did I hear that you chased away the four music consultants I transferred to you?"
Wu Yi lied, "I'm not sure, I wasn't there today."
A burly man!
Qian Pingfan.
"F * ck, what's so secretive about that?"
A skinny, ugly man!
The others looked at each other, their faces full of worry.
Sun Daxuan.
"I wanted to ask you about the qualifiers. I'm curious."
"Not at all."
"Director Zhang, I've also found a pretty good one."
What were they supposed to say?!
The man said, "Then which one did you choose?"
…
Jiang Yuan didn't know what else to say. "Alright, I won't care about that. I'll say it again, I want to see the results, the viewership ratings."
"He's here."
Comparing the two, it was like having one foot in the sky and one foot on the ground! No matter how thick-skinned they were, they wouldn't dare to tell others about the composition and background of their contestants. If they did, they would be laughed to death!
"Come, everyone take a look."
In the elevator, Assistant Director Zhang Zuo met a friend from another program team of Central TV Department 1. The two of them had known each other for several years.
Zhang Ye was a workaholic. Usually, he wouldn't even get off work at 6 or 7 PM. If he really had something to do, he would work until 8 or 9 PM. But now, he was the first to leave. There was still 20 minutes before the real time to knock off, so Zhang Ye left early. This was because there was still a little kid waiting for him. He had to rush to the experimental primary school to fetch Chenchen from school. If he was late, the little kid would be unhappy again.
It was everywhere!
Zhang Zuo said, "Hey, Old Yu."
Wu Yi said, "Is that so? I don't know. "
The lights went off in The Voice's program team office. Everyone dispersed and went downstairs.
"Yes," Wu Yi said.
"Uh."
Phew.
"Yeah, pretty right … Hey, I'm asking you about the contestants. Why are you talking about my shoes?" The woman was speechless.
It was time to knock off.
"How many people passed the audition?" Jiang Yuan asked with concern.
"No, Leader … Leader told me to keep it a secret."
"Let me take a look."
Zhang Zuo sighed and said, "Do you guys think that these contestants will really make it?"
None of The Voice's staff members relented. It was as if everyone had discussed it beforehand and unanimously chose to keep it a secret. Some of them even pretended to be ignorant. They were clearly busy working at the studio, yet they kept their eyes open and said that they were not there and did not know anything. Did they really not know? Did Zhang Ye really request for it to be kept a secret? Actually, he did not! When did Zhang Ye say that he wanted everyone to keep it a secret! As long as it was not a video being leaked, there was no need to keep such a trivial matter a secret!
"Hai, I don't know what to say either." Ha Qiqi pinched her eyebrows and said, "Let's hope it works. Let's hope for a miracle to happen." Even she did not believe what she said!
"Your Executive Director Zhang really doesn't look at looks and only chooses contestants based on their voices? What do the contestants look like? Did you take any pictures? Let me see. "
Tell them? Tell my ass! How are you going to tell them! Your sister! Just look at the other satellite channels' singing talent shows at the same time period, including those that were broadcast in the past decade. Every single one of them, which of the contestants are not good-looking? Which of the contestants are not brimming with youth!
"It sounds alright. Let her know."
"Can this person do it?"
"Eh, Teacher Zhang, this voice is quite good. Come and listen to it."
"Aren't you at the studio? Tell us about it. "
But what did the contestants they had selected look like?
That person said, "Old Zuo."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye looked at his watch and called out to everyone, "Let's call it a day. It's almost time to knock off. Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
"Alright, let me know if there's any sample that passes. I'll go through it again."
Wu Yi gave a wry smile. "I don't know, but Teacher Zhang probably has his own considerations."
And a fucking 60-year-old retired worker!
But no one said anything! Not a single one!
Then on the other side.
Zhang Ye said, "I know."
Zhang Zuo coughed and said, "I really don't know."
"Uh, what? I'm asking you. Do you have any internal videos? Let me have a look first. Right now, a lot of people are watching your new show closely. A lot of people at Central TV are also trying to guess what kind of contestants you've selected will look like. Today in my office, I heard about seven or eight people talking about it."
That person asked, "How is it? Are you busy with the equipment? I heard that you spent more than 20 million RMB on the equipment? "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Leader, it's not that I drove them away. It's just that we have a different mindset. They can't help me with the talent shows, so when I saw it, I decided that I might as well do it myself. At most, I'll follow every show. It'll just take up a little more time, so it's not a big deal."
Ring ring. A call came in.
Jiang Yuan said in surprise, "So little?"
Regarding the contestants who had been selected today, everyone had great doubts about them. They had seen wondrous people before, but they had never seen anyone as wondrous as them!
Everyone busied themselves with work for another two hours before they managed to filter out about a fifth of the available samples. It couldn't be helped, there were just too many people who had signed up. If it could be said that the people were not optimistic about The Voice of China before, then ever since Brain Gold's 100 million RMB title sponsorship fee was confirmed, and with the addition of Zhang Yuanqi, Zhang Xia, and the other famous music coaches, the number of people who had signed up had increased exponentially. It was an unprecedented event, with three to four times the number of people who had signed up for the show compared to other talent shows of the same genre. This was because there had never been such a luxurious lineup of coaches joining the show before, nor had there been such a sky-high title sponsorship fee. The Voice of China's first step was already ahead of everyone else, leaving other talent shows in the dust.
But looking at the people who had been selected for The Voice of China!
The first round of auditions ended.
"Wang 'er, I've been looking for you all day!"
That person did not believe him. "You're an assistant director. Even if it's not something you're in charge of, you should still know a little, right?"
Some of the program team staff even had a pained expression on their faces.
Wu Yi suddenly said, "Eh, you bought a new pair of shoes?"
… …
"Ahem, I really can't do it. Then, I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow."
That person said, "Heh, you guys are still the richest. But then again, a 100 million title sponsorship fee. Even if you close your eyes and throw money away, you'll still have to spend it for three days and three nights. Hai, look at our program team. We're all so stingy. We don't have anything we want. Even when the budget is increased by tens of thousands of yuan, the leaders still have to hold back. We're not as comfortable as you guys, buying whatever you want."
… …
But without exception, they did not get anything!
… …
Train driver!
Luo Yu!
Pretty boy!
Zhang Ye said, "But they're all elites."
"I really can't say."
"Four of them," Zhang Ye said.
Zhang Zuo said, "Yeah, we bought a batch of equipment. They should be arriving tomorrow or the day after."
Zhang Ye answered, "Director Jiang."
"Hey, wait, wait, why did you run away!"
"Ah? Why are you looking for me? "
That person said, "What do you mean by that? What happened in the end? How many of them were good? When I passed by earlier, I saw a pretty one. She was the one with big red eyes. Did she pass the auditions yet? "
Downstairs at the television tower, Wu Yi met up with his old colleagues from the same department.
And this was not the weirdest thing. The weirdest thing was the occupations of these people. What were the occupations of the handsome and beautiful men and women in the other talent shows? There were students from music academies, music workers who had graduated from professional classes, music teachers, piano teachers, guitar teachers, backup singers, independent musicians who wrote their own lyrics and music, and newcomers who had even signed with talent agencies! If they were not already in the music industry, then they were people in the music industry! Their professionalism was obvious at a glance!
Zhou Danian.
Little Wang went to get her bicycle and prepared to go home.
After that, Zhang Ye called Ha Qiqi and the others over and began to do a blanket screening of the other contestants' demos that he had received in his mailbox. Today's auditions were over, but there would still be another round of auditions tomorrow or the day after. As such, the contestants would definitely need to be notified in advance. For some of the out-of-town contestants who were quite skilled, the program team would even be responsible for providing their air or train tickets and covering their travel expenses.
After Zhang Ye left, everyone started chatting and did not have to hold back anymore.
Hearing that, Zhang Zuo's expression turned a little unnatural. "Ahem, I guess so."
These Four Great Oddities were all so "coquettish"!
A physical education teacher!
Zhang Zuo stammered, "I'm not in charge of this, so I'm not sure either."
Because the program team staff of The Voice did not dare to tell anyone else! They did not have the face to do so!
Later that afternoon.
A 170-pound woman!
Jiang Yuan said, "Alright, then I'll be waiting for your good news."
A beautiful girl!
"It's only right, Director Zhang."
"I'll be in charge of these 100 contestants."
The woman asked, "Did you all audition today?"
"Why don't you just tell me a little in secret? We're so close after all."
