Entertaining Children

As early as the "Singer" program was still on the air, there were gossip on the Internet that this year Zhedong Satellite TV's "The Voice" will be revised, with all mentors changed, and it is also planned to invite Xiao Yao, the runner-up student from the previous year, to be this year's mentor.

Similar news came out once last year, but it didn't take long for the "Voice" program team to clarify that there was no such thing. This year, the news came out again. When some media approached the "Voice" program team for verification, the program team did not give a positive answer, but said that the mentor candidates were still being selected and contacted, and had not been finalized. Such an ambiguous answer can't help but make people think about it.

If this news appeared some time earlier, it might have caused an uproar on the Internet, but this news appeared after Xiao Yao had appeared on the "Singer" program for many episodes. With his performance on the show, especially the "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" that he helped Liang Xueying prepare for and won the first place in the current period, not many people think that Xiao Yao is not qualified to be a mentor in "The Voice", Instruct newcomers and amateur students.

But it is a pity that before the final of "Singer", the program group of "The Voice" has announced the final candidates for this year's four mentors, and Xiao Yao is not among them. At the press conference at that time, some reporters asked whether the program group had really contacted Xiao Yaolai to be the mentor in the program. Although the four mentors were also present at the time, the program group director Hu Bo still generously admitted . It's just that Xiao Yao still has a lot of work plans after "Singer", and the school will start in September, so he didn't agree to the program team's invitation.

When I heard the answer from the program director Hu Bo at the new season press conference of "The Voice", many people thought that Xiao Yao felt that he was too young, and he was too embarrassed to compete with other senior teachers on the program. , so I used work as an excuse. But now judging from the series of actions that Xiao Yao first released an album after "Singer" ended, and then broadcast seven new songs to the three hosts at a rate of one song every two days, and then another super long cover song. , Xiao Yao's work after "Singer" is indeed quite a lot.

The broadcast time of "The Voice" was about three weeks away from the final of "Singer", but the first recording started the next week after "Singer" was all over. If Xiao Yao agreed to the invitation of the "Voice" program group to be a mentor, his own album should still be released, but it is not certain whether the next eight new songs that will only be released online will be released. Considering this, fans of Xiao Yao's fans don't know whether to feel regret or rejoice.

However, Xiao Yao did not agree to be the mentor of "The Voice", so does this music TV show really have nothing to do with Xiao Yao?

Friday, August 10th, at 9:10 p.m. The first episode of "The Voice" this season is also the first blind selection, and it started broadcasting on Zhedong Satellite TV on time. Two years later, not only have the rules changed, but the show has moved from Saturday to Friday.

It has been three weeks since the finals of "Singer" ended. During this period, there were no high-quality music programs broadcast, and "The Voice" reported that this season's program will be revised.

So at this time, there are quite a few people waiting in front of the TV to watch.

After the four mentors jointly presented an opening performance of four consecutive songs, the host Chen Nan appeared on the stage and began to introduce the specific details of this season's program revision to the audience on the spot and in front of the TV.

The biggest feature of "The Voice" is the blind selection in front of it. The so-called blind selection means that when the students sing on stage, the instructors can't see the scene on the stage, don't know the appearance or even the gender of the students, and can only learn from the students' singing voices. To judge whether to include the students on the stage into their own team.

In the previous five seasons of the program, the instructors sat on a swivel chair with their backs to the stage at the beginning. Only when they decided to accept the students on the stage and tapped the button on the table in front of the chair, the chair would turn around and let the instructor face the stage. The stage sees the students on the stage.

In this season of the program, the iconic swivel chair is gone, replaced by a movable baffle erected in front of the instructors, the instructors also cannot see the scene on the stage at the beginning, press to change to the position of the armrest of the chair After pressing a button on the screen, the baffle in front of the screen will be lowered, so that the instructor who was originally sitting facing the stage can see the students on the stage.

The baffle in front of the instructors also has another function, that is, the side of the baffle facing them is a display screen. When the singers sing on the stage, the display screen will display the lyrics of the songs sung by the trainees. And on the big screen at the scene, the lyrics of the songs sung by the students will also be released for the audience to see. After the instructors press the button and the baffle is lowered, if the instructor wants to continue reading the lyrics, he can directly watch the big screen on the scene. You don't have to look down at the display on the bezel that drops to leg height.

In addition to the change of the swivel chair, there are some other changes.

First of all, in terms of the competition system, the number of trainees for each mentor has increased from 14 to 16, so that in the mentor selection competition, it will be a complete two-round two-two PK knockout match. Designate a student to enter the semi-finals of the tutor team.

Then in the previous few seasons of the show, each mentor will name his team. This time, the program group not only asked the instructors to name their teams, but also asked them to design their own team flags and team emblems. During the blind selection, the team flags of the four instructors were all hoisted above the stage of the studio, and the instructor's team flag was lowered down whichever instructor the students chose. In the past few seasons of the program, there were mentors who would give small gifts to the students who chose themselves to show that the other party was their own. This season, the program team unified this gift and form. They helped the mentors make their own team badges into wearable badges. After the students chose their mentors, the mentors would personally go on stage and wear the team badges for the students as a team entry ceremony.

After Chen Nan introduced the details of the program revision, the four team flags on the stage were raised, and the mentors sat on the four new chairs in front of the stage. Chen Nan announced the official start of the blind selection and left the stage. The fact that there is no host in the blind selection stage has not changed, so after introducing the details of the revision, Chen Nan also went backstage as in previous seasons, and went to the room where the singers' relatives and friends stayed to watch the live broadcast with them on TV.

The baffle in front of the four mentors slowly rose, and the lights on the stage dimmed slightly.

"Welcome the first student to come on stage!" Following the narration sounded at the scene, a figure came out from the backstage passageway and walked briskly onto the stage.

The first student is here!

The first student to appear was a petite girl. She has shoulder-length half-length hair, a loose yellow short-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body, and slightly tight white denim shorts on her lower body, revealing a pair of beautiful white legs. On her feet are a pair of height-increasing sneakers, and the whole person looks taller some.

"Wow~" When the TV screen showed the girl's delicate and beautiful face close-up, amidst the applause of the audience, there were also some exclamations from the audience.

The baffle in front of the instructors is only used to block the instructors' sight, and there is still a considerable distance from the instructors, and the cameras on the scene can still capture the facial expressions of the instructors. After the sound of exclamation appeared on the scene, the TV screen quickly cut out the facial expressions of several instructors. Several instructors smiled wryly, and some shook their heads helplessly. This point of the show has not changed, that is, the greater the reaction of the audience after seeing the students, the more curious and painful the instructors who cannot see the stage will feel.

After a burst of applause from the audience welcoming the students, the lights on the stage changed to indicate that the students' performance was about to begin, and the audience fell silent.

There was no host at the scene, so at the moment the big screen at the scene and the monitor in front of the instructors simultaneously displayed the title of the song that the first student was about to sing.

""The End"? What song is this? Is it an original new song?" Seeing this unfamiliar song title, the tutor and the audience felt a little surprised. But looking back, it seems understandable. Although Xiao Yao, who always throws out original and new songs every time on the show, did not come to be a mentor, since the program group still added the setting of displaying lyrics, there must be a reason for it.

The instructors and the audience let go of their surprise in relief, and began to focus on the singing and performance of the students on the stage.

After a cheerful and slightly weird prelude, the students on the stage sang with a smile on their faces:

"One piece, a white shirt, roll it up, wipe the floor. Two people, old photos, wipe the ashes, and put a teacup."

"Half a bottle of men's perfume, clean the toilet, smells good. If there are some things left unused, they should be thrown away!"

After the first lyrics came out, there was a burst of laughter in the audience. Several instructors sitting on the instructor's seat also smiled after reading the lyrics on the display screen in front of them.

Just singing the first stanza at the beginning already makes people feel that this is a very special and interesting song. Judging from the lyrics, the so-called "Come to an End" should refer to what happened after the girl broke up with her boyfriend, but whether it's the lyrics, the soundtrack or the girl's singing, there is no sadness at all, but it feels extraordinarily free and easy, as well as interesting.

And when the three-minute song was sung, everyone's feeling became even stronger. After listening to the whole song, it is completely a declaration of a girl's toughness after breaking up.

The melody of the whole song was very brainwashing. After all the students sang, the audience still felt as if there was this student's singing in their ears, and there was a feeling that they had not heard enough and wanted to listen to it again a feeling of.

But what makes the audience feel even more regretful is that the instructors are confused by the brainwashing melody and funny lyrics, or they feel that this song does not show enough singing skills of the students on stage and the voice that impresses them After the student on the stage finished singing, none of the four instructors tapped the button on the armrest. None of the baffles in front of the instructor lowered during the students' singing, which meant that the first student who sang such a fun song was eliminated!

Although there is no tutor to choose, there are still follow-up interactive communication sessions, so after the students sang and the music stopped, the baffles in front of the four tutors slowly lowered together, and the four tutors finally watched To the students on stage.

"Hello, four teachers!" Seeing the lowering of the baffle in front of the instructors, the female students on the stage first bowed and said hello.

"Hello, first of all, please introduce yourself!" After seeing the students on the stage, Shazhou had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he spoke first. As the only mentor among the four mentors who has participated in this program before, he is mainly in charge of the live rhythm of the blind selection stage.

"Hello, teachers, my name is Chen Beila!" The female student on the stage introduced herself briefly.

"Sister La!" There were sporadic shouts from the audience.

"That's the end? What about age? What about occupation?" Several mentors waited for Chen Beila's introduction, but they didn't expect her to say a name and there was no more content. Wan Peiling couldn't help asking.

"My profession is a webcaster," Chen Bella went on to introduce, and then asked with some embarrassment, "Can I not announce my age?"

"Internet anchor?" Wan Peiling and the other instructors were taken aback.

"It's just for webcasting." Shazhou smiled and explained to Wan Peiling at the beginning of the credits, then looked at Chen Beila and said, "I just heard someone in the audience call Sister La, is that your fan? Are you famous? "

"Chen Bella is the best!" Another shout suddenly appeared at the scene. There was also a burst of exclamation and laughter at the scene.

"Huh?" Several instructors were also taken aback, and looked at Chen Bella in surprise.

"Nope!" Chen Beila smiled embarrassedly, "Teachers, don't listen to their yelling! I'm not bad as an Internet anchor, I have some fans, but I can't compare with those stars in the traditional entertainment circle. yes."

"There are some?" Shazhou continued to ask with a smile, "Can I ask how much it is?"

"Weibo has three million fans, and the live broadcast room has more than five million fans, but the audience is usually hundreds of thousands during the live broadcast." Chen Beila replied truthfully.

"Wow~" The audience exclaimed.

"That's already very powerful," Sha Zhou said with a smile, "You are the kind of popular Internet anchor, no wonder you have to be willing to reveal your age."

Another instructor, Feng Lingshan, asked, "I want to ask you what you mainly do during live broadcast? Singing?"

"Yes, I will also do some other things, but mainly singing." Bella Chen nodded with a smile.

"So you are an online singer?" Xu Haokun, the last tutor who spoke, asked, "Can you write songs? Did you write this song?"

"Is that little turtle that hasn't changed the water all right?" Feng Lingshan asked suddenly.

The reason why Feng Lingshan asked this question was because there were two lines in the song sung by Chen Bella just now: "I have been raised, little turtle, and I have never changed the water since then. Some animals that have lost their love can only accept bad luck. "

"No, I don't know how to write songs. This song was written for me by someone else." Chen Beila answered Xu Haokun first, and then smiled playfully at Feng Lingshan, "The person who wrote this song for me is a boy. So this song is definitely not written based on his personal experience. He has a lot of female friends, and I don’t know which tough girl that unlucky little turtle is in, and how it is doing now.”
