The combination of Tan Hong + Chen Fei'er, two superstars, made the studio of "Singing China" instantly brighten.
The response of the audience was naturally very enthusiastic. Everyone stood up and gave the warmest applause!
The exciting scene lasted for several minutes before it ended.
The host introduced the third judge.
Although everyone was looking forward to Beijing Television's continuous breaking of big news, the two big singers were obviously enough to suppress the scene, and there was no need to add icing on the cake in this respect.
The third judge of "Singing China" is Zhen Zhen, editor-in-chief of "Pop Music" magazine.
Over the past 30 years, the domestic pop music industry has undergone considerable development. Today's market has expanded to an unimaginable level before, and the scale of the industry is quite huge. Therefore, there are many newspapers and magazines related to pop music, which are distributed simultaneously both physically and online.
And "Pop Music" magazine is undoubtedly one of the leading roles, and is recognized as an authoritative media in the industry.
Its editor-in-chief, Zhen Zhen, used to be a famous musician and enjoyed a wide reputation in the industry.
The fourth judge is Lin Zhijie, the music director of Flying Stone Records.
Flying Stone Records is one of the most famous record companies in China. It has produced many Heavenly King and Queen level singers. In the 1980s and 1990s, its music tape and CD sales have been in the forefront of the industry.
After entering the Internet era of the new century, the rise of a large number of emerging media made the operation of Flying Stone Records suffer unprecedented difficulties, and once faced the brink of bankruptcy.
Later, the veteran record company learned from its mistakes, cut off its non-performing assets and redundant personnel, followed the trend, opened up a variety of new businesses, and was able to rejuvenate.
In China and even in Asia, Flying Stone Records is still a resounding brand!
Two men and two women, two superstars plus two authoritative media representatives, Beijing Television has undoubtedly taken great pains in the composition of the jury, and the structure can be described as perfect.
After the four judges were in place, the first qualifying round of "Singing China" officially began.
According to the rules, the qualifying round also adopts the judging system. From the end of the contestants' singing on stage, if three or four judges do not light up a red light, it means that they have passed and successfully obtained the semi-final pass card.
If two red lights were lit, the contestant would enter the waiting area. All the waiting contestants would be voted by the audience to decide who would get the last three lucky spots to enter the semi-finals!
The first contestant was Zheng Kai from the capital. He graduated from Beiyin at the age of 24. He opened with an "Autumn Love Song", which won the cheers of the audience. He passed without a red card and got the first semi-final pass card!
Then the second, the third …
The qualifiers were different from the auditions. The contestants were carefully selected from thousands of people, so each had their own characteristics. Some had an outstanding appearance, some had a solid foundation, some could play and sing, and some could dance and sing …
The attitude of the four judges was very serious and professional. There was no exaggerated emotional expression. Regardless of whether it was passed or rejected, they would give appropriate comments, praise, or encouragement.
The reaction of the thousands of audience members was equally good. If they thought that the contestants sang well, they would applaud and even stand up to cheer. If they thought that the contestants sang poorly, they would remain silent or even boo, not giving them any face at all.
There were a few contestants who were probably too nervous that their accents fluttered. As a result, they were booed to the point of breaking down on the spot.
Such a scene could not be seen in the talent shows a few years ago.
At that time, major satellite TV stations were frantically scrambling for variety resources and launched a large number of reality shows. In order to create gimmicks, they really did everything they could. The program team would pay special attention to the kind of good seedlings with "bitter inspirational, weird personality, incurable disease, counterattacking the tall, rich and handsome" and other Korean drama-style plots to hype up the topic and enhance the effect.
The contestants at that time were simply too embarrassed to greet people if they did not have a touching story.
What if there was no story? It didn't matter. The scriptwriter of the program team would make one up for you!
If you didn't cooperate and didn't want to fake it, then sorry, you would be eliminated in the next round. There was no reason to talk about it.
Not only the contestants, but even the group of relatives and friends had to cooperate in acting sensationally. Most of the audience at the scene were acting. They were often intoxicated and cried. Their expressions were so exaggerated that people could not bear to see them, leading to a large number of teasing emojis on the Internet.
Many talent shows were even jokingly called "King of the Most Tragic" and "China's Good Story" by netizens …
The contestants, the group of relatives and friends, and the live audience were all acting. Of course, the judges could not stay out of it.
The program team had carefully designed the lines, actions, and even personalities for the judges. Some were keen to stir up trouble, some liked to act cute, some cried from time to time, and some were peacemakers. In any case, they just had to follow the script!
As the so-called live broadcasts at that time were recorded a few days in advance, there was enough time for post-editing. Therefore, the fixed pattern of "the contestants wiping their tears to stir up the emotions, the judges pretending to listen, the audience sobbing in the audience, and all kinds of 'gossip' and 'breaking news' spreading on the Internet every few days" was not only easy to operate, but also looked informative and exciting.
It was said that the behind-the-scenes editing and scriptwriter team of Shonan TV talent show had as many as a hundred members!
However, the majority of the television audience and netizens were not fools. They would be moved once or twice, and if they were moved three or five times, they would need to have their IQ topped up. After watching too much, they would naturally develop great disgust and resistance.
Therefore, many talent shows that wanted to continue fooling the audience did not have much room to survive. If a new show wanted to win recognition, they had to work hard on timeliness and authenticity. They could not film a real talent show like a movie.
They could have a story, they could have tears, they could be excited, and they could also be disdainful and mocking, but they could not fake it!
In this regard, Beijing Television did a good job. Although the recording and the live broadcast were separated by an hour, the reactions of both the judges and the audience were real. The contestants could not rely on a tragic story to make a comeback.
Some contestants were eliminated after only one minute on stage, while others could interact with the judges and give them enough footage after singing. The treatment was very different.
Such a difference in treatment did not mean that there was any shady business or unspoken rules, but it was based on the judges and the audience's evaluation of the contestants' performance, which was equally real and credible.
And this sense of realism also gave considerable pressure to the contestants who were still waiting backstage to go on stage!
Because there was a big screen TV hanging on the backstage wall, it was broadcasting the scene from the studio in real time, so everyone could see and hear the singing of the contestants who appeared in front of them.
There was no rehearsal, no prior arrangement. Whether they performed well or not depended on their personal strength and psychological quality.
If they sang well, they could gain popularity. If they sang poorly, they would lose face in front of the whole country!
Lu Chen, who was also waiting, was interested to find that different people used different ways to decompress. Some closed their eyes to rest, some wore headphones to listen to music, some chattered with their relatives and friends, and some practiced repeatedly with the guitar …
And some were even peeking at the handsome guy!
Lu Chen turned his head and showed his eight teeth to Mu Xiaochu.
Mu Xiaochu was the contestant from Beijing Institute of Foreign Languages. She had just turned 19 this year, which was the best age for a girl.
Her character was shy and cute, which made people always want to tease her.
Looking at Lu Chen's eyes, Mu Xiaochu blushed, like a little girl who was caught stealing candy.
But to Lu Chen's surprise, she did not choose to escape, but hesitated and took the initiative to get up and walk over.
"Senior …"
The little girl asked softly and timidly, "Can you accompany me with a song? I want to practice it again."
Lu Chen could see that she made such a request with great courage, so he nodded without thinking and said, "No problem. What song is it? I hope it's not too difficult! "
"It's not difficult, not difficult …"
Mu Xiaochu quickly shook her little hand and said, "It's Chen Fei 'er's Sweet Memories."
Lu Chen was surprised and praised, "Good choice!"
Sweet Memories was Chen Fei 'er's famous work, and it was also a representative work of sweet songs. Mu Xiaochu certainly did not know that Chen Fei' er was a judge, and choosing this song was undoubtedly a coincidence.
And her voice and image were the most suitable for singing a sweet song, and it was easy to impress the judges!
