In the first half of the year, the variety shows that people were talking about were reality shows like The Limit Challenge. But in the second half of the year, the music variety show, China's Voice, which was a hidden talent show, became popular all over the country!
Especially during the weekend, after the new episode of the show was broadcasted, all kinds of media reports about China's Voice sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!
Some were positive, and some were negative.
On the stage of China's Voice, the coaches would not ask about the past of the contestants, and the program team would not ask the contestants to fabricate their own stories. But they could not stop the enthusiasm of the media.
In the eyes of the media reporters, these contestants who had finally made a name for themselves must have had a special past! And these pasts would definitely be breaking news! For example, when they dug into Thousand Miles Chuanshu, they found out the connection between Thousand Miles Chuanshu and Yang Yi. It became a hot topic, and Yang Yi had no choice but to come out and explain himself.
In addition, Xu Lu, who was on the same show as Thousand Miles Chuanshu and also received the coaching fourth transition, was also dug up by the entertainment reporters.
Although Xu Lu was a bar singer before this, it was not a big news. After all, China's Voice's official website introduced Xu Lu's past as a bar singer.
However, with the characteristics of entertainment reporters, they would definitely not be willing to report this news in a plain and ordinary way. They did not know where they got a photo of Xu Lu's red hair from before, but they made up a story about Xu Lu hanging out in nightclubs.
It had to be said that this kind of negative news had a great impact on the contestants themselves.
Although China Star produced a lawyer's letter to warn them, the media retracted the report and officially apologized. But many fans who only read the first half of the article and did not read the second half had a bad impression of Xu Lu. Even a few years later, some tabloid media purposely skirted around the edges, saying that Xu Lu's image before her debut was not serious.
Of course, if one wanted to develop in the entertainment industry, they would have to endure such open and covert attacks. As long as they became strong enough, like Yang Yi and Chen Yijie, they would not have to worry about the impact of these small media reports.
Moreover, whether it was positive or negative, it was an important factor to maintain a high level of exposure. China's Voice was frequently reported, and the personal stories of the contestants were frequently exposed. Wasn't this a symbol of the popularity of the show and the popularity of the contestants?
Some people couldn't even get such exposure even if they wanted it!
"The Great Travel Challenge" had already aired a few episodes. As a travel reality show, it received a lot of attention when Xingyao Productions and Xiangnan TV Station announced the guest lineup!
On the other hand, Xiangnan TV Station was a big producer of variety shows and had a wide audience base. Therefore, when the first episode was broadcast, the ratings of "Travel Challenge" were quite good.
However, in the process of watching this show, many people subconsciously compared it to The Limit Challenge. They couldn't help but spit in their hearts, "What kind of show is this?"
It had to be said that the location of "The Great Travel Challenge" was quite good. In the first episode of the French special, the opening shot was panned from afar to close-up. Every frame was beautiful and could be used as a computer desktop if cut out!
However, with the appearance of the six fixed members, three men and three women, the quality of the program began to drop like an avalanche.
Li Manman could be considered to have a glib tongue, but she met a group of pig teammates! Especially that beauty from the popular girl group. She thought her answers were cute, but it was obvious that she was trying to act cute. Her fake baby voice was very stupid no matter how you looked at it.
Ye Qing's personality was more impulsive, and her words often put everyone on the spot, so they could only rely on Li Manman to smooth things over.
Of course, Li Manman herself wasn't any better. Her performance at the beginning was still quite normal. However, reality shows were filmed 24/7. Gradually, Li Manman couldn't keep up the act. In some of her normal actions, her bossy attitude towards Cao Congcong was gradually revealed.
"No wonder Cao Congcong had a falling out with them!" After watching this episode, the audience had a rough idea of what was going on. "These people all have the temperament of a young master and a young miss!"
The more important part of the show was the Great Challenge. Of course, the traces of learning from The Limit Challenge were very obvious. However, Xingyao Productions still had a few tricks up their sleeves. Their game design was quite interesting.
But the problem was that they chose the wrong members!
At the beginning of the challenge, the popular little fresh meat kept complaining to the camera, and the beauty from the popular girl group acted coquettishly … Although the interaction with the director was also learning from The Limit Challenge, the problem was that after the interaction, they didn't fully participate in the game. One was lazier than the other, and one was stupider than the other.
Even if they finally finished the task, the audience wasn't stupid. They had already started to complain on the internet: "Isn't the traces of cheating too obvious? This passerby they asked for help, are they sure it wasn't arranged by the director? "
That's right, after watching the first episode, the reputation of The Great Travel Challenge collapsed!
Even if Xingyao Productions bought a water army and barely maintained its ratings, compared to The Limit Challenge, this show was far worse!
The ratings of the second episode dropped by a third, and the ratings of the third episode were less than a third of the first episode …
In response to the audience's complaints, Xingyao Productions' Luo Jinting stepped forward to explain: "Everyone, don't worry. From the sixth episode onwards, our show will have a huge change. Because after Cao Congcong quit, we invited a very important variety show big shot to join us …"
But the audience didn't buy it. They even left comments on Xingyao's Microbroadcasting: "Come on, we can only save the show if we replace the other five people besides Cao Congcong. Otherwise, it doesn't matter who Cao Congcong is replaced!"
"Speaking of which, Cao Congcong is the only one among the six who dares to fight. She even worked hard to complete the tasks that affected her image as an idol. For example, she ate worms in exchange for money. If Cao Congcong is replaced, what's the point of this show?"
"Even if we get a new variety show big shot, they'll probably be angered to death by the other five …"
"Without Cao Congcong, I'm very worried about whether they can still complete the tasks."
"Previous poster, don't worry. Every time there's a crisis during the filming, a mysterious passerby will appear to save the world …"
No matter what, The Great Travel Challenge's reputation and viewership ratings were constantly slipping. Meanwhile, China's The Voice's popularity had pushed this reality show to the extreme of its decline.
Li Manman didn't know about this. She had just returned from filming Brazil's Jungle Station. She was so tired that she wanted to take a bath and sleep for a few days and nights.
But her manager came looking for her the next day.
"Manman, let me tell you, your new album might have to be delayed. It's best to release it next year," Yi Qi said.
"Why?" Li Manman asked in surprise. "I'm getting a lot of attention now. Why should I wait until next year? By then, The Great Travel Challenge will be completely out of business. What am I going to release then? "
Li Manman was a little agitated.
Yi Qi smiled bitterly and said, "It can't be helped. During the few days when you went to film the show, Phoebe Studio, which is Yang Yi, announced that Murphy would be releasing an album at the end of November. If you release it in December, you'll definitely clash with her."
No one wanted to release an album with Murphy. Yang Yi's creative ability was obvious to all. Murphy's singing ability was also known to everyone. If they were to clash with her, she was destined to steal the limelight.
Li Manman listened and was silent for a while. She gritted her teeth and said, "Why do they always clash with me?"
At this moment, thousands of alpacas were running in her heart.
Yi Qi smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer.
"We can release it earlier! Anyway, the album is ready. How about releasing it in October? I'll ask Xingyao Productions to free up my schedule, "Li Manman said angrily.
Originally, when she released the album at the end of the year, she would have finished filming her variety show and could go all out to hit the charts. But now, if she released the album in October or November, it would conflict with the recording of "The Great Travel Challenge" …
But Yi Qi shook her head and said, "The company's people analyzed that October is not suitable, because in October, Chen Yijie will release an album. This is his first Mandarin album. It is said that Yang Yi also wrote a few songs for him. You'd better not fight with him head-on!"
Yang Yi, Yang Yi, Yang Yi! Now Li Manman was going crazy when she heard this name.
"Why is it him again?" Li Manman's voice was squeezed out from her teeth, and her face was flustered and exasperated.
