On July 10, 6: 10 p.m., Beijing Television Studio Hall backstage.
In another hour and 20 minutes, Beijing Television's first entertainment reality talent show "Singing China", the qualifying round of the Beijing division will be broadcast live in the big studio.
Beijing Television is the first TV station in China, so it has a wide and good influence in China and Asia. Relying on the huge advantages of the local TV station in the capital, its comprehensive strength has always been in the forefront of major TV stations.
But in the past five years, with the increasing popularity of variety entertainment programs, Shonan TV, Donghai Satellite TV, Jiangning Satellite TV and other local satellite TV stations have risen rapidly, occupying a large share of the market, but also seriously reducing the survival space of Beijing Television.
Especially Shonan TV, which is famous for producing variety shows. Since 2008, Shonan TV has successively launched "Super Girl", "Super Boy", "National New Idol" and other popular talent competitions. Not only has it achieved great success, but it has also launched a number of well-known idol stars, and its ratings have topped all satellite TV stations!
What makes Beijing Television lose face the most is that all the talent shows of Shonan TV will set up a division in Beijing. Every audition will be a gathering of thousands of people, and the scene will be very lively, which is really spectacular to the extreme.
For Beijing Television, its own site has become a place for its competitors to show off, which is simply a slap in the face!
What makes Beijing Television even more annoyed is that Donghai Satellite TV, Jiangning Satellite TV and other latecomers have also learned from them. They all regard the capital, a treasure land of Fengshui, as a fat meat, and all of them have eaten until their mouths are full of oil.
Under such circumstances, Beijing Television, which has always been proud, finally could not stand the declining ratings year by year. After six months of planning and preparation, it launched its own talent show for the first time - "Singing China"!
The ambitious Beijing Television even fought with Shonan TV's "Super Singer".
For this show, Beijing Television has also put in a lot of money. Not only has it rebuilt the studio, but also the backstage has been expanded, which is much more spacious and comfortable than the original, enough to accommodate hundreds of contestants and staff.
There were a total of 35 contestants participating in the first qualifying round of the Capital Division tonight. Including the family and friends who were present to support them, there were only about a hundred people.
Lu Chen was one of the 35 contestants in the first qualifier, and he was one of the few contestants who did not have a family.
It wasn't that he didn't have friends in Beijing, but Li Feiyu wanted to help him broadcast the match on the internet. Sister Na and Qin Hanyang were very busy because of the recent popularity of The Bionics, so they didn't perform at the Forget Grass Bar, so Lu Chen didn't bother them.
As for the others, most of them were not suitable. For example, Ye Zitong. Although the two of them had a good impression of each other, they had not established a real relationship. He could not bring her to the scene and show her in front of the whole nation, right?
Lu Chen simply brought a guitar and single-handedly killed his way over.
Relatively speaking, among the 35 contestants, Lu Chen's mentality was the most relaxed and peaceful. While he was resting on the bench and waiting, he observed the others calmly.
Sitting on the right side of Lu Chen was a middle-aged man with a beard and messy hair. He wore a personalized T-shirt and worn jeans. He was dressed like a typical street singer. He was holding a guitar and bowing his head in silence.
In front of him was a band group. The five members were very young, full of vitality. They were talking and laughing to encourage each other. They were excited and full of expectations for participating in the talent competition.
In front of them, the staff and cameramen of the TV station were interviewing a contestant.
All contestants had to pre-record a short video, which was the so-called VCR. The content of the video was mainly to introduce their situation. When it was time for the official broadcast, the director would select a few excerpts and intersperse them into the live broadcast.
It was said to be a live broadcast, but in fact, it was not a real-time broadcast. The recording time and the broadcast time were about an hour apart.
The advantage of this was that it was convenient to control and edit the content of the program, and it was not easy to have broadcast accidents. It was already very fast now. In the past, talent shows were often produced a few days or even a week in advance, and then dared to claim that it was a live broadcast when it was broadcast on the TV station.
It was simply a monkey show!
Although the production effect of recording and broadcasting a few days in advance was the best, the vast number of TV viewers were not fools. What they wanted to see was more real and direct content of the talent competition. They were increasingly disgusted with the procedural and routine program form and process, which led to a huge change in the situation of the live broadcast of the talent show.
The previous qualifying and semi-finals were an hour in advance, and the elimination and final stages were 30 minutes at most.
There was even a real live broadcast!
Of course, this was a great test for any TV station. Without strong enough strength and a good enough behind-the-scenes team, it was impossible to play this kind of live talent show.
The live VCR belonging to Lu Chen had just been recorded, and it only took a few minutes.
It was a very simple thing, but the handsome man wearing glasses looked very nervous in front of the camera and the microphone. He stammered and couldn't express his meaning, which made the group of relatives and friends next to him anxious for him.
However, compared to another female contestant sitting four or five meters to the left of Lu Chen, he was still fine. The girl, who was 18 or 19 years old, was so nervous that she cried, but she didn't dare to cry loudly. She just bowed her head and sobbed.
She also had two best friends next to her, but they obviously didn't know how to comfort and speak. Their persuasion and encouragement for a long time had no effect, and they couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
When other contestants nearby saw this, most of them felt it was funny, and some even showed a look of ridicule.
How could she dare to go on stage to perform with such poor psychological quality?
Lu Chen listened to them say a lot and finally understood. It turned out that this female contestant was probably very unlucky. Today's important day was not going well, which seriously affected her mood. Moreover, she didn't perform very well during the recording of the VCR.
All kinds of emotions accumulated, so she collapsed before she even went on stage.
Originally, the role of the group of relatives and friends was to support and encourage the contestants on the spot in addition to adding interest to the show.
However, these two teammates were really unqualified!
After thinking about it, Lu Chen stood up, walked over, and walked in front of the other party.
He took out a bottle of peppermint gum from his pocket and handed it to the crying girl. He said, "Don't be too nervous. Have a gum. You will feel better after chewing it twice."
The girl and her companions raised their heads in surprise.
Lu Chen smiled slightly, reached out and opened the bottle cap, and said, "Try it!"
Scientific research has shown that the sincere and friendly smile of a handsome man or a beautiful woman can often resolve people's tension, fear, anxiety, and uneasiness. It is equivalent to a buff that boosts morale and effectively stimulates the secretion of dopamine and hormones!
Although the above content was pure nonsense, Lu Chen's handsome and warm smile did make the girl relax. She was embarrassed to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and a shy blush appeared on her pretty face.
The girl hesitated for a moment, but she still raised her small white and red hand and said, "Thank you …"
Her voice was very soft and sweet. It sounded like a melted milk candy, refreshing the heart and refreshed the mind when held in the mouth.
Lu Chen poured a piece of chewing gum into her palm.
This was the privilege of a handsome man. If Lu Chen was a wretched fat man or a thin otaku, it was estimated that no girl would be willing to take any candy from him.
Lu Chen asked her companions, "Which university are you from?"
They were so young and immature, and had no relatives to accompany them. Nine out of ten were students studying in Beijing.
The other party replied very enthusiastically, "We are all from the College of Foreign Languages, accompanying Little Chu to participate in the competition. Are you also a contestant, handsome? Where did you study? "
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I am also a contestant. I just graduated from Jianghai University this year."
"It turned out to be a graduating senior!"
The other party's eyes lit up and immediately pushed the girl next to him. "Little Chu, ask the senior for his contact information. Maybe both of you can enter the finals!"
In fact, she really wanted it, but she was embarrassed to say it directly.
Lu Chen smiled and exchanged QQ numbers with the three of them, adding each other as friends.
He also knew the name of the shy girl.
Mu Xiaochu.
