In the front.
Everyone onstage had been resting for a long time.
Jiang Yuan turned around. "What's going on?"
Fu Sihong said, "I don't know, let me ask."
Over there, Zhang Zuo happened to be walking over from afar when he was called over by Fu Sihong and Jiang Yuan.
The Voice's executive producer, Fu Sihong, asked, "It's been 20 minutes since the break, hasn't it? Why isn't it starting yet? It's going to be broadcast tonight, so hurry up and finish recording for the post-production. "
Fu Sihong was sitting in the audience, more like an outsider. This was because from the production to the recording, he did not participate in the entire process. Right now, Zhang Ye had the final say in The Voice, so Fu Sihong could not get involved. He also understood this, so he did not blindly give out orders. After all, in terms of pulling in investments, planning, and production, he was far inferior to Zhang Ye. Even if he were to give out orders, no one would listen to him and would definitely secretly seek Zhang Ye's opinion. That would put Fu Sihong in an awkward position, so he might as well just be a hands-off boss. At most, he would occasionally ask about the progress of the work.
Zhang Zuo immediately said, "Director Zhang is waiting for the contestant's family. He just arrived, so it was delayed for a while."
Fu Sihong said, "Can't we get someone else to do the recording?"
Zhang Zuo said, "I don't know about that. The order of the contestants was decided by Director Zhang."
Jiang Yuan suddenly suggested, "Is the order of the contestants not arranged properly? The first two contestants were very good and amazing. Everyone's emotions have been raised to a very high level, so we can't hold on any longer. Why don't you guys just put Luo Yu at the end? That way, the broadcast effect would be better. "
Zhang Zuo said, "Director Zhang should have already considered it. I'm not sure either."
Jiang Yuan said regretfully, "The good cards shouldn't be used at the beginning. There should at least be a few left to be played at the end. There has to be a balance between tension and relaxation. Otherwise, it will affect the overall effect."
Fu Sihong added, "If Luo Yu were to appear as the finale, she would definitely shock the entire audience. It's a pity that she was placed first. It'll be too difficult to find another contestant as amazing as Luo Yu."
But even so, the first recording of The Voice had given them a huge surprise. They were still nitpicking and were actually very shocked by it. They had not expected that the proposal for The Voice, which they did not think highly of at the start, could be made into something like this. With the mindset of striving for perfection, they were naturally thinking that it would be even better if there was another contestant like Luo Yu who could shock the entire audience. However, they also knew that it was not very realistic. A contestant like Luo Yu was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after. It was unlikely that there would be another one like her!
At this moment, Zhang Ye's orders came through the earphones of all the program team staff.
"All departments are in position. Recording will begin in one minute."
"Yes!"
"Got it!"
"OK, Director Zhang!"
"Got it!"
"In position."
The staff responded one after another.
Behind the stage.
Qian Pingfan was already waiting there.
Ha Qiqi passed the microphone to him. "There's still one minute left. It's your turn, Little Qian."
Qian Pingfan also looked very nervous at this moment, and it was not the usual kind of nervousness. He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. It could be clearly seen that sweat was dripping down his forehead. He was just a peasant laborer and had never seen such a big event before. "My parents are really here?"
Ha Qiqi said, "Yes, they're already here."
Qian Pingfan said with a long face, "My parents have never heard me sing before. I-I've never sung at home before either, so they don't know."
Wu Yi laughed and said, "It's time for them to hear it."
Qian Pingfan appeared to be in awe of his parents. "But I'm afraid that I won't sing well. The contestants from earlier all sang exceptionally well, so I'm definitely not as good as them."
Wu Yi said, "Who told you that?"
Qian Pingfan said, "I'm really not as good as them!"
Ha Qiqi encouraged him, "Do you know what Director Zhang said about you? He said that the finale of the first episode of The Voice can only be you. It has to be you! "
Qian Pingfan felt even more pressured. "But my clothes are also …"
The program team only provided the makeup and did not provide the costumes for the contestants. The costumes were all prepared by the contestants themselves. As Qian Pingfan was a bicycle repairman, he couldn't even earn 2,000 yuan a month, so he naturally couldn't afford to buy any good clothes. He was only wearing his usual clothes this time, but they had been washed out and didn't look that good.
Wu Yi said, "It's fine. Director Zhang said that there's no need to put on any disguises. Just wear your own clothes because this is the real you. There's nothing to hide, so just let loose and sing. Let your parents and everyone else hear it!"
In the audience.
When many of the staff saw that Qian Pingfan was about to go onstage, they started whispering to each other.
"It's Qian Pingfan's turn!"
"I know him. He's the finale today?"
"Yeah, Director Zhang arranged it."
"Can he do it? His voice sounds a little … "
"I think he's very good! I listened to the auditions and really liked it! "
"Just because you like it doesn't mean that the audience and coaches will accept it."
"That's true. Qian Pingfan is really different from the other contestants. He's a little special. Out of all the contestants on The Voice, he's the one with the most controversy. It's going to be dangerous!"
"Let's see how everyone reacts!"
Counting down.
Three seconds …
Two seconds …
One second …
The recording began!
"Let's welcome the next contestant!"
This voice in the studio was Zhang Ye's recording.
At that moment, the lights on the stage dimmed down, bringing out the atmosphere to the maximum.
Qian Pingfan hesitated for a few steps before gripping the microphone and walking onto the stage with trepidation. Compared to Luo Yu and the other contestants who were nervous, Qian Pingfan was even more nervous. He walked with a lack of confidence and his back was unconsciously hunched. Ha Qiqi was also extremely worried.
Ha Qiqi was also extremely worried. She shouted from below, "Little Qian, straighten your back!"
Only then did Qian Pingfan straighten his back slightly. His movements were very stiff.
Wu Yi said, "You can do it! It's all up to you now! "
At the same time, Qian Pingfan's figure was exposed to the audience.
Jiang Yuan was taken aback.
Fu Sihong also blinked a few times in doubt.
The audience also had the same expression. It was as though they were very surprised.
The contestants in front of them were housewives, physical education teachers, train drivers, and white-collar workers. Some of them were not good-looking, fat, and skinny, but at least they had the image of a new urbanite and were dressed very appropriately. Even the contestants who were wearing casual clothes and sports shoes were clean and tidy. After all, they were going to appear on television, so they had to find a good set of clothes. However, the person in front of them left them in a daze. This was because this contestant was dressed too lowly. His clothes were very clean, but they looked rather old. His white sports shoes were the kind that had been washed so many times that they were no longer white. There was a faint beige sheen to them. As for his hairstyle, it was similar to his clothes. It was an ordinary crew cut and looked a little old-fashioned. There was no elegance to it at all. Moreover, anyone could tell that this contestant was not the kind of person who would deliberately make his clothes old to create hype. He was probably a migrant worker.
"Fuck!"
"He's also a contestant?"
"There are really all kinds of people on this stage."
"Yeah, why is there even a migrant worker?"
"This contestant doesn't look like he's someone who can sing!"
"Don't tell me that he's here to sensationalize the crowd?"
"I really think so. He's going to sing a godly online song later with the intention of shocking the entire audience?"
"Haha, that might really be possible!"
"What the heck, why did they even get a migrant worker to appear! Those contestants from before all sang so well. Although the contestants after the middle section did not sing as well as before, they were still above average. This is the last contestant for today? Getting a migrant worker to sing last? What is the program team thinking! "
"It's not a problem with the program team, it's definitely because they don't have any good contestants left. Didn't we already analyze it earlier? There are only a few good contestants left. Zhang Ye arranged for them to perform at the beginning so that they can create a sensation at the beginning. The contestants at the end will naturally be a mix of good and bad, but that can't be helped. I can really understand the program team's intentions. They really don't have any good contestants left, so what can they do? They might as well get a migrant worker to come up and sing a shocking song to create a sensation. "
"That's true."
"Yeah, that's a possibility."
"But they can't just make up the numbers. Isn't this a show that only listens to the voice? Who are they trying to fool by getting a migrant worker to come up with this! "
"How disappointing!"
"The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment!"
After the fiery opening, everyone's emotions had been raised too high and had been at its peak all this time. When the few contestants who sang at the end were not as good as the ones before them, the enthusiasm of the audience dropped by quite a bit. Their spirits were also starting to relax. Originally, some of them might have been looking forward to the appearance of the finale contestant, but in the end, it turned out to be such a contestant, so it was inevitable that the audience would be disappointed.
The audience's reactions could be seen clearly.
Jiang Yuan was thinking that this was bad.
Several of the Central TV executives were also frowning in silence.
Even if they didn't have any good contestants, they shouldn't have gotten a migrant worker to make up the numbers. It would have been fine even if they had gotten someone who sang average. At least it wouldn't have caused such a huge controversy and scolding. The beginning of The Voice had been very good and amazing, but in the end, when it came to the final push, they dropped the ball? Causing the entire show to fall apart because of a migrant worker who came up to make up the numbers?
Wasn't that silly!
How could Zhang Ye have made such a mistake!
"Where's Little Zhang?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Fu Sihong said, "He's backstage, I think."
Jiang Yuan wanted to interrupt the recording and call Zhang Ye over to get him to arrange for another contestant to go on stage. This kind of act of making up the numbers was ruining their reputations. It was the same as ruining all the good work they had done at the beginning of the show!
The coaches sitting in their chairs had already turned around to face the audience. They couldn't see behind them and could only analyze the contestant's situation based on the audience's reactions.
Zhang Xia said, "Eh, this contestant seems to be controversial?"
Chen Guang said, "I don't know. From everyone's expressions, they seem very disappointed?"
Fan Wenli said, "It must be because he didn't meet everyone's expectations."
Zhang Xia said, "That can't be helped. How can there be so many contestants who can amaze everyone? It's already pretty good if there's even one or two in a show like this."
The coaches did not hold out much hope either. After seeing the audience's reaction, they adjusted their mentality even more. In any case, if it was good, they would just turn around. If it wasn't, then they would just not record it. It was a talent show after all, so there would always be an outstanding contestant and a relatively weaker one. It was impossible for all the contestants to be that outstanding!
