The atmosphere in the studio was very enthusiastic.
The advertising message had actually raised the audience's spirits!
"This mouth of his is too ridiculous!"
"Zhang Ye has always been this unconventional!"
"I'm looking forward to the upcoming talent show segment more and more."
"Me too. This opening is really awesome. The stage, the lighting, the lineup of coaches, the scale of the opening song, and even this advertising message, I think it's several years ahead of similar talent shows. With such an amazing opening, how bad can the later segments be? Even if the talent show segment doesn't have many highlights, even if it's the same as other singing shows, the viewership ratings of The Voice won't be too bad! "
"We're so lucky to get tickets to the live show today!"
"It's still hard to say."
"Yeah, let's continue watching."
"The Voice's weakness is the quality of the contestants. They don't look at their looks or their occupation, so the contestants here are probably just normal people, also known as KTV experts. Their professionalism will definitely be a little lacking. Even if a normal person who hasn't studied music before can sing well, they still can't compare to those who have studied music or are in the music industry. In other similar talent shows, the contestants are basically all handsome guys and pretty girls. They're all very professional, so The Voice's contestants might be at a disadvantage in this aspect."
"I'm worried about that too."
"Yeah, how can amateurs compete with professionals? Not to mention that they don't even have an advantage in terms of looks."
"It's starting, it's starting!"
The audience was whispering to each other. Seeing Zhang Ye holding the microphone again, they all looked over.
Zhang Ye did not waste any time and said loudly, "Next up, I'll leave the stage to them. Let's welcome our first contestant on stage! And will the four coaches please turn around? "
The four chairs moved at the same time and slowly turned around.
Fan Wenli found it very novel and whispered to Zhang Yuanqi beside her.
When the audience saw this, many of them were stunned!
"What's the meaning of this?"
"What's going on?"
"Why did they turn the chairs around? They won't be able to see the contestants if they do that! "
"Yeah, what kind of strategy is this?"
"Didn't you guys see The Voice's promotional video? One of the episodes already introduced the rules. The coaches can only listen to the contestants' voices and not see them. This is the core of the show's emphasis. "
"Ah?"
"Did the tutors meet the contestants in advance?"
"Did you hear? When Grandma Zhang Xia was being interviewed by the reporters to promote The Voice, she even complained about this matter. She said that Executive Director Zhang Ye did not even tell them about any of the contestants and kept it a secret the entire time. The four coaches did not even get to see a shadow of them."
"Of course it's true. Grandma Zhang Xia never lies."
"Wow, they're playing so big?"
"This is interesting. Turning the chair? It sounds so refreshing! "
"My appetite has been whetted as well. This design is indeed interesting. I just don't know how effective it will be."
Zhang Ye exited the stage.
Little Wang quickly unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it over. "Director Zhang, you've worked hard!"
Beside them, another female editor also said, "It's been hard on you, Director Zhang."
Zhang Ye hurriedly gulped down half the bottle of water. Those two advertising messages might have seemed easy for him, but it was actually quite taxing on his throat. "You guys keep watch over here. I'll head over to the second recording studio." After putting down the bottle of mineral water, he quickly walked backstage to the second recording studio. Actually, it was just the contestants' resting area and backstage area. There were a few individual rooms there and the live signal could be transmitted to them. The family members of the contestants would be in the second recording studio. As the host, Zhang Ye also had a recording assignment over there, so he had to be with the contestants' family members.
Three minutes passed.
The stage was rearranged briefly and the lights dimmed. It was finally time to begin. On TV, when Zhang Ye announced that he would be inviting the first contestant on stage, the contestant had already taken the microphone and slowly walked onto the stage. But since it was a live recording, it would definitely take some time to prepare.
Pa da.
Pa da.
The lights became fewer and fewer as they went off one by one.
Assistant Director Zhang Zuo's voice rang out in the studio. "Prepare for the countdown. Five, four, three, two, one. Cameras will be rolling. The first contestant will be coming onstage!"
In the backstage area.
Luo Yu's legs were trembling as she clutched her chest. She was breathing in and out. She was so nervous that her entire body was stiff.
Ha Qiqi urged, "Teacher Luo, go on."
Luo Yu's legs went limp. "Why don't we get someone else to go first? I'll take it easy, I'll take it easy!"
Ha Qiqi nearly fainted. "Director Zhang specifically wanted you to be the opening contestant for The Voice. He said that the opening contestant would definitely be you and that he has a lot of trust in you."
"But there are too many people, and there are even four coaches …" Luo Yu was usually quite aggressive when she was in school. She even dared to howl in the sports field. She had also performed quite well during the Central TV auditions and could be considered quite calm. But that was only because there weren't many people. But now? Just looking at the audience, there were already several hundred people sitting in the audience. There were also Zhang Yuanqi, Fan Wenli, and other big celebrities that she could only see on television or in the newspapers. Furthermore, the cameras were connected to the entire country during the broadcast. Central TV Department 1 was able to reach a billion people in the country, so before going onstage, Luo Yu was a little terrified!
Ha Qiqi advised, "It doesn't matter if you're the first or the last. It's just a matter of clenching your teeth and stomping your feet. It's not a big deal."
Luo Yu was sweating profusely.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Wu Yi also came over. "Little Luo, hurry up. It's all up to you now!"
Luo Yu said, "Do you guys think I can do it? If I screw up, then … "
Ha Qiqi said, "It's not like you don't know how picky Director Zhang's taste is? If Director Zhang says you can do it, then you definitely won't have any problems! Otherwise, why would Director Zhang put you on stage first? Just sing like how you usually sing. Sing without restraint and don't think about anything else! "
Luo Yu took two deep breaths and clenched her teeth. "Alright! I'll go all out! "
"That's right!" Ha Qiqi nudged her. "Let's go! I'll listen to you! "
Luo Yu grabbed the microphone and clenched her fist. Then, with a whoosh, she strode onto the stage, creating a gust of wind. She walked to the center of the stage where the lights were concentrated and stood still!
The coaches' four chairs were all facing away from each other, so she couldn't see anyone except for the names written on the back of the chairs. Due to the dazzling lighting onstage, the audience was also shrouded in a gray haze. There was a saying that went, "It's dark under the lights." This was exactly the situation. As a result, Luo Yu couldn't see anything at all. Instead, she calmed down a lot and patted her chest. She had decided to go all out!
When Luo Yu went up, Wu Yi asked, "Can Little Luo really do it?"
Ha Qiqi said, "How would I know?"
Wu Yi said, "I'm just afraid that the audience won't be able to accept her voice."
Ha Qiqi said worriedly, "It's not even certain that the coaches will approve of such a singing style. If it were up to me, we should have gotten the coaches to help us filter out the contestants beforehand. If Director Zhang thinks it's fine, but the audience and the coaches don't think it's good, and the coaches don't even turn around after a few of the contestants' coaches, then our show will be ruined!"
Just now, these two people were still saying that they were cheering for Luo Yu, saying that she would definitely be fine and that they were very confident in her. But in reality, neither of them had any confidence at all!
At the moment Luo Yu went onstage, the audience also gave her a symbolic round of applause. After a few claps, it stopped. Seeing this contestant, the audience was left speechless.
"They really don't care about looks!"
"What the heck, she's so fat?"
"At first, I thought that The Voice was only judging people based on their voices to scare them off. Who knew that they really don't care about looks? This person is too average! "
"How can a girl this fat sing well?"
"The scene is too beautiful to look at!"
The audience was still looking forward to it, but when they saw the first contestant, their hearts turned cold. Their emotions also dropped by quite a bit. It was not that they were judging people based on their looks, but that singing talent shows had always been filled with handsome guys and pretty girls. Suddenly seeing such an ugly and fat person appear, they were really not used to it. They had never seen such a thing before!
The four coaches were facing the audience, so they naturally saw the expressions of the audience.
Zhang Yuanqi smiled and said, "She doesn't look too good?"
"I don't know." Chen Guang blinked a few times.
Based on the audience's reaction, Fan Wenli also judged that the first contestant would not be very good.
In this subtle atmosphere, Luo Yu turned around and nodded to the people behind her, indicating that she was ready. At the same time, the fiery music started playing onstage.
Drums!
Guitars!
Bass!
Just from the melody alone, it sounded like a rock song!
The audience was stunned when they heard this. What was the meaning of this? This fat girl was going to sing a rock song? A lot of people knew that rock songs were mostly sung by men. This was because it had to show a certain attitude and strength. Women were sometimes lacking in strength, so even if they sang a rock song, they would only be singing on the surface and would not be able to bring out the unique spirit of the song! She's even going to sing a rock song? How bold of you!
Jiang Yuan looked suspiciously at the stage.
Ha Qiqi and Wu Yi seemed to be even more nervous than Luo Yu as they stared at her without blinking.
The other program team staff also knew of Luo Yu's name. On the first day of the preliminary auditions, they had already given the contestants nicknames. Luo Yu was one of the Four Great Oddities. As the auditions progressed, the number of oddities that joined them also increased. The initial Four Great Oddities became the Eight Great Oddities. The program team staff were unsure if they would be able to recognize such a strange voice. Little Wang even closed her eyes, not daring to watch.
What if it was a dud?
What if the coaches didn't turn around?
All of the program team staff had such a thought that they could not get rid of!
However, the music had already entered its rhythm. Since things had already come to this, there was no point in thinking about it anymore. All they could do was pray, pray that Director Zhang was right!
When the last guitar note ended, Luo Yu's eyes suddenly opened wide!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Yu's hoarse and explosive high note came out. There was no buildup or progression, just a mid-high note!
"I've always been told that I don't know how to write lyrics, compose music, or sing!
"I've always been told that I don't know how to enjoy myself, laugh, or live!
"I've always been told that I don't know how to be emotional, understand women, or understand romance!
"I've always been told that I don't know how to be patient, flexible, or flexible!"
When she opened her mouth, the entire studio was filled with Luo Yu's ear-piercing and hoarse voice. There was no gentleness, elegance, or deepness in her voice. There was only power!
The power of her voice!
And also the power of her emotions!
The audience was stunned!
"This …"
"Holy shit!"
"What kind of voice is that!"
"That voice, that voice, that power!"
"Oh my god, why am I getting goosebumps!"
The four coaches also had a flash of surprise in their eyes. They had not interacted with any of the contestants since the start of the auditions. With their backs facing the stage, they were also looking forward to hearing the voices behind them. They also had their own standards for a good voice, but no one could have expected that the first contestant's voice would be like that. It was too unique! It was rare for them to hear a woman sing the song "Who Told You I Don't Understand" in such a way! The original singer of this song was a male singer, but after all this time, this hoarse female voice was actually more powerful than a male singer??
Luo Yu had already entered the groove of singing, and her voice was getting more stable and deep.
"I've always been told that I don't know pain, sadness, or depression!
"I've always been told that I don't know anger, glare, or harshness!
"I've always been told that I don't know friends, brothers, or family!
"I've always been told that I don't know dreams, pursuits, or glory!"
When she sang up to this point, a sudden change occurred!
Chen Guang could no longer sit still. With a trace of excitement, he raised his hand and pressed down on the red button without any hesitation. Shua! The coaches' chairs turned around!
The audience cried out in surprise!
"It turned!"
"Ah!"
"It turned around!"
"It's nice! It's so nice! "
When Chen Guang saw Luo Yu on the stage, he heavily nodded his head and immediately raised his thumb above his head. He didn't look calm at all!
Zhang Yuanqi narrowed her eyes without moving.
Fan Wenli turned her head and looked at Chen Guang. She clenched her fists tightly and loosened them again. She was a little hesitant.
Zhang Xia closed her eyes and listened seriously without moving.
Suddenly, Luo Yu's chorus came. She held the microphone for a brief moment, and the chorus came out of her mouth.
"Who told you that I don't know how to sing!"
After saying that, Fan Wenli no longer hesitated and slammed down on the red button!
The second coach turned around!
Almost at the same time as Fan Wenli, Zhang Xia suddenly opened her tightly shut eyes. She did not use as much strength or speed, but her hand firmly pressed on the button. She was very determined!
The third coach turned around!
"Who told you that I don't know how to live!"
"Who told you that I don't know how to be romantic!"
"Who told you that I'm not flexible!"
"Who told you that I don't know depression!"
"Who told you that I don't know harsh!"
"Who told you that I don't know family!"
"Who told you that I don't know glory!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqi, who was the only one who still had her back turned, smiled and said, "It's you!" Pa! The chair slowly turned around and faced the stage!
The audience cheered and applauded incessantly!
At the side of the stage.
Several of the program team staff were shouting like crazy!
"Quick, look!"
"Little Wang! Quick, look! "
Little Wang still had her eyes closed, not daring to look. "Tell me first. Did any of the coaches turn around?"
Beside her, Sister Liu said, "They did!"
Little Wang asked, "Ah? Really? How many did they turn? "
Sister Liu said excitedly, "They all turned! All four coaches turned! "
Hearing that, Little Wang hurriedly opened her eyes in shock. They turned! They really turned!
