In the afternoon.
In the recording studio. The four coaches were familiarizing themselves with the songs.
Zhang Ye got the music arrangement teacher to stay behind and got another two staff members to help with the equipment. Finally, he said, "You guys go ahead and rehearse. I still have a lot of things to do over there."
Zhang Xia put down the score. "Wait for me, Little Zhang."
"Ai, Grandma Zhang, what is it?" Zhang Ye asked.
"When we came here, we heard that a group of contestants had already advanced from the preliminary auditions. They're all secretly rehearsing and arranging in another studio over here?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes, they started rehearsing a few days ago. Firstly, it's because of the time needed to appear on camera. A song can't be sung for four minutes or even five minutes, so it needs to be adjusted appropriately. Moreover, everyone is a good singer and has higher expectations of themselves. Our show also has higher expectations of everyone, so the song has to be rearranged. This is a lot of work and has been going on for several days now. Everyone has to go through it once."
Zhang Xia said, "After we finish rehearsing this song, we'll go and have a look."
Zhang Yuanqi did not have such a request. She was on the phone somewhere and probably had something to discuss.
Zhang Ye blinked. "You guys are so busy, why would you want to see them? They're still in the debugging stage, so we can't really tell what's going on. "
Fan Wenli smiled and said, "Grandma Zhang, what you mean is that we want to see the conditions and personal qualities of the contestants first. The outside world and the media are all talking about the preliminary auditions, so there's a lot of mystery surrounding them. We also want to get a better understanding of the contestants so that we can prepare ourselves for the recording of the show."
Chen Guang said, "Yes, I'm really looking forward to it."
But Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "That won't do."
Chen Guang asked, "Even we can't watch?"
Zhang Ye said, "It's a confidential environment. Other than the program team's internal staff, no one else can enter."
"We'll just stand far away and watch for a while." Zhang Xia said, "Do you think we can leak it to the outside world?"
Zhang Ye waved it off. "No, Grandma Zhang. There won't be any suspense after we watch it. There won't be that first-time experience when we're recording the show."
They discussed it a few more times.
But Zhang Ye would not agree to it no matter what. There was no room for discussion either.
Actually, up until now, no one knew what kind of presentation The Voice would have when it was finally broadcast on television. What stage would it be? What lighting? What contestants? What kind of hosting style was this? Almost everyone knew nothing about this. Even the internal staff of the program team were the same. There was only one person who knew about this — Zhang Ye. As the executive director and overall planner of The Voice, he knew what news to release for publicity purposes and what news to keep a secret. Some suspense could only be revealed on the day of the program's recording, not even a day earlier. These were all cards that Zhang Ye held in his hands. If he were to reveal them earlier, then it would be meaningless.
…
Outside.
After coming out, Zhang Ye quickly walked towards the stage. The four teachers were experts in music, so he was only responsible for providing the songs. He could not help with anything else.
As soon as he left, he received a message on his phone.
Di di.
Old Zhang asked, "Where is he?"
She was probably done with her work.
When Zhang Ye saw it, he immediately replied: "I'm leaving. I have to get back to the venue."
Old Zhang: "This song doesn't count. Write me another one."
Zhang Ye wondered, "Why can't it be counted?"
Old Zhang: "It's not suitable for me to sing."
Zhang Ye typed: "Heh, this song doesn't discriminate between genders, ages, or ages. If you don't like it, I'll give it to someone else. I saw Chen Guang's eyes glowing just now. When he heard that I had promised the song to you beforehand, Old Chen did not snatch it away."
Old Zhang: "I'll keep this song. Write another one."
Zhang Ye harrumphed: "That's impossible. I had to bear with the pain to write this song. Do you really think that the songs I write are like cabbages? This is art. It needs to be carefully crafted. Anyway, I don't have any now. Let's talk about it when there's something more suitable for you in the future. Let's hang up for now. I still have a lot of work to do here. "
There was no reply from the other side.
Zhang Ye exited the messaging interface and saw that there were two missed calls. One was from an hour ago, and the other was from half an hour ago. He was busy with work at that time and did not hear them. Both calls were from Chenchen's physical education teacher, Luo Yu. After some thought, he called back.
Du du. The call connected.
Luo Yu said: "Teacher Zhang, you finally called back."
Zhang Ye said: "What's the matter, Teacher Luo? You were looking for me? "
Luo Yu said: "There are no classes in the afternoon at Experimental Primary School, so the parents have already picked up their children. I saw that Chenchen was still in school, so I guessed that you had forgotten about her. I called you, but you did not pick up. Later on, I realized that this wouldn't do, so I took the liberty of bringing Chenchen over to Central TV. I'm currently rehearsing with the music arrangement teacher in the studio. I've handed Chenchen over to Assistant Director Ha Qiqi. She's over at the stage."
Zhang Ye exclaimed: "Aiyo, I forgot that it's Friday today. Thank you so much, Teacher Luo. Look, I've troubled you again."
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Luo Yu said.
"Then I'll go and check on the child." Zhang Ye hurried over to the recording studio.
...
At the studio.
Dust was flying everywhere.
This place was not much different from a construction site. Because of Zhang Ye's request, the stage and the seating area had to be completely overhauled. Everyone was busy with work.
Without much effort, Zhang Ye found Chenchen at a glance. He saw the little kid standing in the middle of the crowded stage, waving her little hands and even mimicking Zhang Ye's way of directing.
"Little Wang, why are you playing with your cell phone again?" Chenchen said in her childish voice.
Little Wang was almost in tears. "Little ancestor, I was just taking a look at the news."
Chenchen pointed not too far away and said, "They're moving the boxes over there. Quickly go and help them."
Little Wang wiped her sweat away. "Alright then."
Chenchen glanced around and then looked at another person. She called out his name and said, "Wu Yi, go and direct the workers. They're not working at all."
Wu Yi looked over to a corner and saw that there were indeed a few workers smoking lazily. He immediately went over and said, "Put out your cigarettes, put them out. Smoking is prohibited here."
Chenchen was not done. She said to a young man, "Little Li."
The young man rolled his eyes.
Chenchen said, "Have you done the statistics that Zhang Ye asked you to do last week?"
That young man looked like he was crying and laughing at the same time. "I gave it to Director Zhang on Monday."
Chenchen nodded like a little adult. "OK, you did very well."
A female editor in her thirties joked with her, "Little Leader, I've completed the task at hand. Do you have any more instructions?"
Chenchen said, "No, you can rest for ten minutes."
The female editor said, "OK, thank you, Little Leader, hehe."
These days, Zhang Ye had been bringing Chenchen around Central TV. Chenchen had also become familiar with everyone. This little rascal was really addicted to being a leader and would occasionally give instructions. In the program team, Zhang Ye was the leader, so some people affectionately called Chenchen "Little Leader."
Zhang Ye walked over with a straight face.
"Leader."
"Director Zhang."
"Teacher Zhang."
When the people nearby saw him, they greeted him.
Seeing this, Chenchen did not give any orders and just blindly gave out orders. She strolled over to the seats in the audience stands, but was stopped by Zhang Ye.
"You little rascal!" Zhang Ye stared at her and said, "Why are you messing around again?"
Chenchen said righteously, "I'm helping you supervise them."
Zhang Ye harrumphed, "Who are you supervising? I've already told you before, but you're still getting addicted to ordering people around? Go, go back to my office and do your homework! I'll deal with you later! "
Chenchen curled her lips and walked off in a rather leisurely manner.
Zhang Ye followed behind and instructed, "I'll go over to check on your homework in the afternoon. Do it well!"
A female editor who was beside him laughed and said, "That child is so cute."
"Whoa, come on." Zhang Ye said in amusement, "She's cute? She can really drive me crazy. You don't know, but I feel like my head is about to explode. This child has a completely different way of thinking from other children. I have no idea what she's thinking. "
