Cheng Xiaoyu and the others are waiting in the infield at the moment for the recording to officially start at half past two, and the reason why Catherine and her brother can follow is because this week's shooting task has been completed, and there is no need to stay on the set.

Because the American labor union implements an eight-hour day, four-eight-hour work week, the work plan is deployed a week in advance, and the work is strictly in accordance with the plan every day, the advantage of this is that the crew does not have to be busy working overtime when working, but implements it gradually according to the pre-planned plan, which ensures the quality of the film.

The disadvantage of this is naturally that it is not like domestic film and television dramas, which can be rotated continuously, and can be rushed to work 24 hours a day, and things that could have been filmed in a month have to be delayed for two or even three months.

But the guild in the United States is one of the most unoffending institutions, and Cheng Xiaoyu cannot challenge the union, so he can only honestly follow the rules.

Xu Qinning chose to sit between Cheng Xiaoyu and Catherine Blanchett, there are enough women in the Cheng family, and the villa is almost overwhelmed, she naturally doesn't want Cheng Xiaoyu to show any signs and provoke another woman, which Su Yuxi can't see.

But thinking that maybe the Cheng family can have a mixed-race baby in the future, Xu Qinning is a little entangled, if it is a child born to Cheng Xiaoyu and Catherine, how will it be so cute that it will explode.

Xu Qinning thought of this, and felt that if Cheng Xiaoyu could win this beautiful foreign girl, it would be nothing, after all, she also admired Catherine Blanchett's face.

But she just thinks about it, according to Cheng Xiaoyu's urine, she will definitely not mess around, this is what Xu Qinning appreciates the most, and it is also the point she dislikes the most. Although she didn't yearn for that kind of thing to happen, it never happened and it made her doubt her charm.

While a few people were talking, the host Carson Ryan walked up in a suit, although the air conditioning in the studio was very full, but the rows of spotlights on the roof were too powerful, and the people who took pictures would still be a little hot.

The handsome Carson Ryan walked to the middle of the stage with the microphone, first paused and then said: "Welcome to the scene of 'The Voice of America', thank you Ford Motor for your strong sponsorship of this show, then today will usher in the last group of highly anticipated mentors, Ms. Mary Hughes's 'The Strongest Team on the Surface' mentor selection competition, first of all, I have invited four mentors to enter...."

At this time, John Brie, who was standing behind the camera, was looking back at Cheng Xiaoyu's expression from time to time, in order to judge Cheng Xiaoyu's satisfaction, these days, John Brie will report the situation of "The Voice of America" twice a week to Cheng Xiaoyu, and if there is any problem, he will call him as soon as possible and ask him what to do, instead of looking for the senior management of CW TV.

Cheng Xiaoyu was also a little helpless about this excessive hospitality, but he didn't refuse, at least John Brie implemented his intentions very thoroughly and in place.

Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't mind giving these people who are trying to get close to them a chance, as long as they have the ability.

The four tutors came to the stage in turn, still sitting in their old positions, and then the big screen began to show the eight students in groups and short videos during song practice and rehearsal, which cross-edited the comments of the four tutors on these students, there is no doubt that Xia Shamo received the most praise.

After the short film was played, those expensive stage lights began to flicker non-stop, the host invited the eight contestants up, and immediately applause and cheers rang out, among which Xia Shamo's name was shouted the loudest, and more than a hundred "only" neat shouts were much more imposing than the chaotic support of other fans.

Asians are much more organized and disciplined than Yankees.

Then the host Carson Ryan introduced the band members one by one, as well as some members of the director's team, until the end of the stage to the very edge of the stage, laughing as he walked, "You must not guess what other big people are here on our scene!"

He paused for a moment before continuing: "You know? I've been working at The CW for so many years, and the phone calls are the busiest in the past few months, and my big star friends rarely call me in the past, but now they call me at any party, and then the first thing they say when they see me is to ask: When will the second season of "Resident Evil: The Walking Dead" be released? and then the second sentence is: Can you help me get a few tickets to "The Voice of America......."

After this half-teasing with a pleasant voice, the entire studio immediately resounded with loud cheers, because Carson Ryan said this, everyone knew that Cheng Xiaoyu was coming.

Carson Ryan waited for the noise in the audience to die down, and then spread his hands and said, "Do you know how I answered? I usually say, who cares when that miracle director makes a sequel, I'm a fan of Catherine Blanchett, I just hope he finishes his $600 million production and gives me back Catherine Blanchett!"

Carson Ryan raised a hand and said loudly, "Here I want to shout! Catherine, she belongs to us in America!"

At the same time, Cheng Xiaoyu turned his head to see who was talking and Catherine Blanchett's smiling face covered her mouth appeared on the big screen, and the close-up of the two shots directly ignored Xu Qinning, who was actually Cheng Xiaoyu in the middle of the conversation, so Cheng Xiaoyu's arm suffered again.

Xu Qinling Peel gritted his teeth and said without smiling: "The director's editing skills are deep enough!"

Cheng Xiaoyu glared at John Brie's back, and could only say helplessly: "Who told you that you are not well-known in the United States! In Huaxia, this director's lunch box chicken leg at night will be gone!"

The audience on the stage saw the faces of Cheng Xiaoyu and Catherine Blanchett on the big screen, and they immediately exploded, which was much more lively than the mentor's appearance.

Many people stood up and looked down the stage, but Cheng Xiaoyu and they were all sitting against the wall, except for the audience sitting in the first row, who could lean on the railing and see Cheng Xiaoyu and his party down, no one else could see it.

Carson Ryan stood in the pale yellow spotlight and said, "Calm down, the protagonists of today's day are not Director Cheng and Miss Catherine, but the eight players on our stage, and now I announce that Mary Hughes's Mentor Selection Tournament for the Strongest Team on the Surface has officially begun, and we will take a look at the first group of those two." ”

As soon as Carson Ryan's words ended, Mary Hughes stood at the piano in the practice room and said, "So I'm going to put Kress Litchie and Bob Allen together in a group based on the performance of the 'Blind Audition'......"

Then the faces of black singers Kress Richie and Bob Allen appeared on the big screen, and the two men were the only ones left on the stage, and the other six people quietly walked out of the ring.

The video continued to play, but neither of the two people on the stage looked back at the big screen, and the black singer Kress Richie looked up at the spotlight on the stage, chanting a word.

Bob Allen lowered his head and closed his eyes, looking at his toes, maybe both of them were a little nervous, maybe both of them were accumulating strength, for anyone, the knockout round is the most cruel, they all know whether the pattern of life and career can be broken through, just fight here.

Most of the people who can get to the top eight here are powerful singers, and they don't look at their appearance like "American Idol", and few of the "Voice America" have entered the knockout round, so this opportunity is even more precious.

Originally, I just participated with the mentality of trying it out, but at this moment, everyone hopes that they can soar through this hot talent show.

As the seven-minute recap video played, host Carson Ryan exclaimed, "So who will make it to the next round? Whether it's Broadway soul singer Kress Richie or talent show X-Factor champion rock singer Bob Allen, let's wait and see, now let's give them the ring!"

As the prelude sounds, a gripping battle begins.

The lights dimmed, as if entering a movie theater, only the light blue laser lights on the stage were emitting dazzling brilliance, Cheng Xiaoyu sat under the stage and watched the singing on stage, the American audience generally played more than the Chinese audience, and Asians are generally more reserved and introverted.

Although these two singers are not singing fast-paced songs, the audience is applauding and beating the beat, such a scene, to be honest, is really great, easy to sing H, and it is very conducive to the singers to play at the highest level.

In Cheng Xiaoyu's opinion, the black soul singer from Broadway is slightly better than the champion of "X-Factor" in terms of voice and singing skills, Jiang is still old and spicy, and it is not easy for a black man who is about to be forty years old to still maintain such a rich and clear sound quality.

A singer like this casually releases films in China, but in the United States he is just an ordinary Broadway actor, it is not easy to enter Broadway, as the holy grail of stage performances, so far there are no more than 20 Asian-American leading actors on Broadway, and Asian-American actors only account for 1.5% of Broadway actors.

Whether it's pop art or serious stage art, the United States stands at the highest point in the world, which is the foundation accumulated over the past century.

After all, there was too much turmoil during the war, and there were many periods of poverty in the peacetime, and there was not enough to eat, so of course it was not in the mood to engage in art.

Sure enough, after the two male singers finished singing and the three commented separately, it was Mary Hughes' turn to make a decision, as Cheng Xiaoyu expected, Mary Hughes chose the black soul singer Kress Rich.

Next, it was the turn of the second group of opponents to take the stage, this time a man and a woman, two singers, Orianna Gibson and Booker Wald.

Generally, it is a weak match and a strong, and the appearance is according to popularity, the first group is the least popular, the second group is the second most popular, the third group is the third most popular, then the last group is naturally the most popular.

There is no doubt that Xia Shamo and Chrissy Wendy are the last group, and it is a universal law that the finale creates the climax of the ratings.

The show was recorded without hindrance, quite smoothly, although there was less of the instructor's grabbing gags, so there were a lot of jokes, but the wonderful battle of the students made the atmosphere in the studio have been maintained very H.

Because after the longest practice and rehearsal, Mary Hughes's performance was naturally better than the other three mentors' students, almost everyone played 100% of their strength, and Orianna Gibson's performance just now was amazing, although Booker Wald's singing was not bad, but still lost to the firepower of Orianna Gibson.

From the current point of view, the competition is going according to the script hidden by the director team, leaving the high popularity, eliminating the low popularity, the strength of the Will Kinson group, the female fat singer Judy Hill was eliminated because she was the least popular in the entire competition, not because her singing skills were the worst.

So although "The Voice of America" is advertised as a "voice selection" competition, it actually depends on the audience, after all, it is also a reality show.

Finally, it was the turn of the third group to take the stage, Jessica Mason and Paul McCarter, this group is not too much to watch, and the singing of the two is also evenly matched.

In the end, Mary Hughes chose Paul McCarter, who had the highest number of music downloads and online votes.

The singing skills of the players eliminated in the first three groups are actually poor, but there is no way, their comprehensive strength is definitely not as good as those who can still stay on the stage, and the competition has entered the first big climax at this moment.

The first three groups are completed, and now the last group of PK remains, and there is the most popular Xia Shamo in this group.

When the short film of Shamo and Chris Wendy started playing on the big screen, the whole studio was boiling!

Wearing a light blue floral dress and long hair draped over her shoulders, Xia Shamo stood by the piano and said to the camera: "At the beginning, my mother had a hard time accepting me to sing pop music, so she took strict care of me, and I still remember that in order to participate in a performance, I could only sneak down through the window, fortunately, my family is not very high, and I am very happy when I think about it, because singing can bring me the most pure happiness." I sang pretty well in the audition, but I don't think it's hard to beat, and I've always thought that as long as I work hard, I can do it. ”

The scenery of Los Angeles flashed on the big screen, and the next cut was the image of Chrissy Wendy.

"I think Mary Hughes has some preference for Xia Shamo, and it's true that Xia Shamo's performance in the blind audition is quite surprising, and to be honest, I am a little nervous to be against her, but I don't think I'm worse than her, and I will try to let the audience see a new Chrissy Wendy. ”
