Chapter 524: Daily and Evening Newspapers
From the early morning of Monday, May 11th, the major news media in Shanghai began to report on the final results of the first "Top Ten Campus Singers Selection", and every newspaper and magazine selected reporters to participate in last night's top ten competition.
The morning issue of "Shencheng Daily" reported last night's competition with a panoramic description with the title of "Campus Singers Are Extraordinary, Shencheng Song Scene is Thriving". As the main official mouthpiece of the local media in Shencheng, the position of this newspaper basically represents the opinion of the official Shencheng government.
The report said.
We are pleased to see that in the unwatched and undeveloped land of colleges and universities, there are many good seedlings that are enough to provide fresh blood for the Shencheng music scene. Among them, Ye Zi, a first-year student from the Chinese Department of East China Normal University who won the first place in this competition, is the best among these good seedlings. As the winner of the first place in last year's "Shen Yuexiang" Young Singer Singing Competition, Ye Zi finally defended his status as the "king of the young generation of Shencheng singers" (said by the host Lu Yingzi during the competition) with his extraordinary singing strength and superhuman popularity in last night's competition. We also have to see that Liu Qi, who won the second place in this competition, is also such a leader, and his song "Starlight" last night touched the audience of more than 600 people and all three judges, and won praise from the audience. We have every reason to believe that his future, like Ye Zi, is very worthy of all of us's expectations.
The other players also have their own characteristics.
Rulan, who won the third place, has full potential, although it seems that there is still a gap between her singing strength and the top two winners, but she has an extremely good singing talent. It is reported that the famous singer Zhu Fengbo has accepted her as a disciple, and in time, under the careful teaching of Teacher Zhu. We believe that Rulan, an "elf-like" female singer, will definitely become a beautiful landscape in our Shencheng music scene.
It was a shame that Kim Moon-bin, who finished fourth, had a lead until the last minute last night, but unfortunately he didn't have the last laugh. But we should also see that the Shencheng music scene has always been very lacking in a singer with a very personal personality like him, and his future is still worth looking forward to. Of course, we do not deny that Jin Wenbin (5) dǐng (5) diǎn (5) small (5) said, .2 ≮ 3.os_ ↗(); The singing strength of the contestants needs to be improved urgently.
Last night. Nie Xiaoshuang, who won the fifth place, made all of us shine. In all fairness, Nie Xiaoshuang's singing strength is not outstanding, but the song "Shake and Shake" she sang last night evoked good memories for all of us, and at the scene, all of us sang loudly along with her singing. In terms of this diǎn, Nie Xiaoshuang was one of the most successful contestants last night. The fifth-place result is well deserved.
Shu Hua, Wu Ruisheng, Chen Xinwen, and Hua Jianyue won the sixth to ninth places respectively, and their singing still deserves our attention. Whether it is Shu Hua's ingenious song selection ideas, or Hua Jianyue's regrettable on-the-spot performance. Whether it is the song "Stirring Heart" sung by Wu Ruisheng, or Chen Xinwen's desperate life, these have left a deep impression on us.
Of course, we can't forget the other contestant last night, that is, the Zhu Xuewen contestant who was deprived of all rights by the organizing committee and the program team. We feel sorry for Zhu Xuewen, who has a very good singing ability, but he can't have a clear mind that matches it. Roar against the judges, even if the contestant has the strongest strength. Such behavior is still not tolerated by all of us. There is still a long way to go, and we hope that all scholars will learn from it. Put your energy and talents to the right place. We also hope that in future selection activities or other competitions, the contestants can take this "Zhuxuewen Incident" as a lesson and not repeat his mistakes.
…… In our opinion, the first "Top Ten Campus Singers Selection" is an extremely successful social practice activity for college students, which not only greatly enriches the spare time life of hundreds of thousands of college students in Shanghai, but also provides another option for them to go out of campus in the future. At the same time, this event also brought a novel and interesting program to the tens of millions of TV and radio listeners in Shanghai City.
It was a very rewarding and successful attempt!
As soon as this report from "Shencheng Daily" came out, the organizing committee, Zhou Fang, and the director Cheng Zhongqing were all completely relieved. For any large-scale event, large-scale event, large-scale program, many times the political correctness is more important than anything else. Now with the strong praise of the "Shencheng Daily". This means that the senior management of Shencheng has a comprehensive positive attitude towards this selection, which also lights up the green light for the second selection activity.
This is an extremely important weather vane.
Without the affirmation of "Shencheng Daily", it would still be an unknown quantity.
Zhou Fang and others were greatly excited.
Compared with the official mouthpiece of Shencheng Daily, Shencheng Evening News focuses on the millions of citizens of Shencheng, so their coverage of last night's game is completely different from that of Shencheng Daily.
The Shencheng Evening News headlined "Strength is the ultimate guarantee of victory", and instead of using a panoramic macro description like Shencheng Daily, the article grabbed some of the details of last night's game.
The article says.
…… What moved reporters the most last night was the two reversals in the final round.
Rulan reversed Jin Wenbin, who was always ahead, and Ye Zi reversed Liu Qi, who was on par with him and had always had the upper hand, both of which were magical, especially the latter.
Viewers who watched last night's live broadcast must know that Liu Qi always had an advantage before the final round, but he was ruthlessly reversed by Ye Zi in the last half hour. All of us in the room were screaming like crazy, so excited that we couldn't sit down, including me, the reporter. Afterwards, when I was writing this article, I kept thinking, what was the reason for Liu Qi's failure?
I've looked at all the numbers that these two players have broadcast for six rounds, so let's take a closer look.
The first round was after the two contestants sang, when Ye Zi had a singing score of 293 points plus 588 audience votes, Liu Qi had not yet sung, but his audience votes had reached 877 votes. Regardless of the singing scores, Liu Qi was ahead by 289 votes in the audience voting. In fact, at that time, all of us had a diǎn in our hearts that we couldn't understand that according to Ye Zi's influence in the Shencheng music scene and among the people of Shencheng, the number of audience votes was obviously much lower, and he could only rank fourth.
Why is that?
Until later. Teacher Zhu Fengbo hinted at the loopholes in the telephone voting, and after Cao Kefan explained the intentions of the organizing committee and the program team, we learned that it was not that Ye Zi's votes were less, but that other contestants had more "secret advantages".
So, can such an advantage eventually translate into a victory?
Let's move on.
In the second round, Liu Qi still did not sing, and the comparison of the votes of the two contestants was Ye Zi's 1404 votes against Liu Qi's 1801 votes, and the vote difference widened to 397 votes.
In the third round, Liu Qi's singing also received high scores, but his 291.50 points were 1.50 points behind Ye Zi, that is, 150 votes. The audience vote of the two contestants was 3,907 votes from Ye Zi against 4,141 votes from Liu Qi. The difference in votes was 4 votes, but it narrowed. If the total score is calculated, Liu Qi is only 0.84 points ahead of Ye Zi, that is, 84 votes.
In the fourth and fifth rounds, Liu Qi still took the lead, and the biggest vote difference between the two players came in the fourth round, with a full 630 votes, but in the fifth round, the difference narrowed again to the lowest number since the start of the tournament of 213 votes. If we add the singing points, we can see it. Liu Qi's lead did not continue to widen, but further narrowed. There were only 63 votes.
The reporter did not know how the number of audience votes of Ye Zi players increased rapidly in the final stage, from the maximum gap of 630 votes to 213 votes in half an hour, and then narrowed to the final 135 votes (16914 votes vs. 17049 votes) in the last half hour, which should be Ye Zi's "secret advantage", the same "secret advantage" as other players, a normal "secret advantage". But what the journalist has to say. According to Ye Zi's singing strength and influence, this is a normal result. Although Liu Qi's singing amazed the reporter, if I had to choose, I would still vote for Ye Zi.
In the end, Ye Zi actually lost the audience vote, but he always kept the vote difference between the two within a reasonable range where they could see each other. After calculations, we draw conclusions. After six rounds, the average vote difference between the two sides is 316 votes, and if the difference of 150 votes is removed, then the average vote difference between the two contestants is 166 votes. In last night's situation, with the efforts of a singer like Ye Zi who has a wide mass base, this is actually a very small gap.
The final result also confirmed this diǎn, and Ye Zi won the duel between the strong with a narrow margin of 15 votes.
It seems that Ye Zi has won on the same "secret advantage" as the other players, and it is his "secret advantage" in the last two rounds that has exerted enough power to allow him to finally win.
But journalists don't see it that way.
The reporter believes that it is not so much that Ye Zi is the "secret advantage" of winning from the second strike, but that Ye Zi has already laid the victory when he sings. We can imagine the situation last night, if Ye Zi's singing was not good enough to get the highest score of 293 last night, then could he still beat Liu Qi?
Absolutely not!
Liu Qi's 291.5 points are very reasonable, and even in our opinion, it is slightly too high, in this case, Ye Zi can get 293 points for the second time he sings on stage, and his mentor Mr. Ni Jun only gave him 95 points, which did not open the door for him, and Ye Zi's score is very convincing.
To sum up, the reporter believes that Ye Zi's victory is still the result of his extraordinary singing strength.
This is a victory in singing strength between the two contestants!
……
The article in the Shencheng Evening News clearly shows the author's tendencies, but the readers are very convinced. For the ordinary people of Shencheng, they are willing to accept such articles with obvious tendencies and tendencies consistent with the majority.
But at this time, no one thought that after the final results of the second selection came out in May 1993, this kind of "strength decision" theory was immediately and ruthlessly overturned. Interestingly, the reporter who wrote this article "Strength is the ultimate guarantee of victory" then published another article called "I was wrong!" 》。
But that's a later story, so I won't mention it.
In addition to the daily newspaper and evening newspaper, other media in Shencheng, including TV and radio stations, have been reporting on the event for more than a week. In order to report on the final results of the event, the magazine "Audiovisual OR" deliberately postponed its own publication time, which was supposed to be published on the 10th and 11th of each month, to Wednesday the 13th.
Of course, such a measure also paid off sufficiently, as soon as the current issue of the magazine went on the market, it was sold out immediately, and the magazine increased the number of prints several times, but the supply still exceeded demand, and finally the usual sales were more than three times that it basically satisfied all readers.
After continuous publicity and reporting, the nine players led by Ye Zi and Liu Qi have gained enough exposure and popularity, and have become news figures in Shencheng Street in May.
In their respective schools, they have rightfully become the most powerful and famous people in the limelight.
All of this qiē has laid the groundwork for the second "Shencheng Campus Top Ten Singers Selection", which will cause a sensation across the country next year and is known as the "Most Successful Singing Competition". (To be continued.) )
