Chapter 620: Eye-catching premiere
After a week of extremely hot competition, due to the proximity of "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was released, and the box office market in North America and even around the world suddenly entered a relatively calm atmosphere this week, and major film companies have wisely chosen to avoid it, arranging their own company's heavyweight films to be released on other schedules, and as a result, there are very few new films that can be called truly competitive this week.
In North America, only Universal's "Bruno" has been released on a large scale, which is Sasha Baron Cohen's second work in a similar style after "Borat", with a production cost of $42 million and 3,027 theaters.
In China, only "Ice Age 3" was released on a large scale, and the "Ice Age" series has achieved excellent box office results in the global box office market, but looking at the Chinese mainland market alone, its box office is slightly unsatisfactory, the first two parts of the series in September 2002 and June 2006 after the introduction of domestic screening, have achieved 5.35 million and 35.22 million box office, compared with other heavyweight Hollywood blockbusters, the results are not outstanding, only equivalent to an ordinary Hollywood introduction film, not only "Ice Age" series, in fact, the overall domestic market of cartoons is not good, and before that, only the movie "Kung Fu Panda" broke 100 million at the box office.
The lack of strong competitiveness in the release of new films, and the old films in theater, including "Transformers 2", "Ice Age 3", "Public Enemy", and "Sister's Guardian", are obviously lacking box office momentum due to word-of-mouth factors. With such a box office performance, while busy with the filming of the "Twelve Treasures" program and the post-production of "The Immortals", Lin Yuquan naturally paid almost all his attention to the upcoming "The Voice of China".
In fact. At the same time, too many people are looking forward to the arrival of the opening time of "The Voice of China", as this summer, and undoubtedly the most watched TV program of the year, since the commendation conference awards ceremony at the end of last year, "The Voice of China" has been like a magnet to attract people's attention.
When the time came to Friday night, July 10, countless people couldn't help but say "here" to themselves in their hearts, but their feelings were different.
"I don't know if the first episode of the show that aired tonight will have its own appearance. If so, what kind of evaluation and popularity can you get after the show is broadcast? "The Voice students who passed the blind audition earlier are full of strong expectations. There may be differences in the details, but in general, isn't the purpose of every student on the stage of The Voice to show themselves in front of hundreds of millions of viewers and become famous?
As for those students who passed the blind audition late, they are also looking forward to the premiere of "The Voice of China". On the one hand, I am eager to understand the program effect of "The Voice of China". On the other hand, it is just taking advantage of the broadcast of the show to understand the strength of other colleges and prepare for the next ring battle.
In contrast, the general public is undoubtedly looking forward to the broadcast of "The Voice of China", Lin Yuquan strives to create the best in China, with the requirements of an international-level music talent show, hundreds of millions of funds invested in program production, Liu Huan, Na Ying, Yu Chengqing, Zheng Jun composed of four super mentor lineups, how can such a show not be expected.
The anticipation of the major media magazines has risen to the level of excitement. It is not difficult to know that with the broadcast of "The Voice of China", a large amount of news report material is bound to be generated. It doesn't matter if the show is wonderful or not, that's the most important thing.
However, in addition to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, other TV stations are really not excited, especially Shonan Satellite TV, there are so many TV viewers in total, the rise of a strong TV program will inevitably mean that its own viewership share will decrease, and the reason why it is especially Shonan Satellite TV, not only because Shonan Satellite TV focuses on variety shows, and the much-anticipated "The Voice of China" directly threatens its own status, but also because "The Voice of China" makes the project of its own TV station "Happy Girl" have to be killed, no way, "The Voice of China" If you operate "2009 Happy Girl" according to the previous practice, you will inevitably be crushed by "The Voice of China", which is undoubtedly a stupid thing to tear down your own signboard, and it is difficult to make up your mind to produce it according to the capital investment of "The Voice of China". The management of Shonan Satellite TV now only hopes that "The Voice of China" is a typical big-budget garbage.
"It's finally here." "The Voice of China" program production team, Shuguang Film and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV are filled with a sense of expectation and excitement, although there is a new program model and a strong lineup of four major music mentors, but because the production funds invested in the program are too large, everyone has a lot of psychological pressure, but after watching the first episode of the production completed, everyone's mentality has changed completely, and some are just looking forward to the program, and there are strong expectations for the ratings and program response.
Of course, among the students who have successfully passed and the production team of "The Voice of China", there are still some people who are looking forward to it and can't hide their apprehension at the same time.
"Hurry up, "The Voice of China" is about to be broadcast." Lin Haishan shouted at the kitchen.
"Okay, here we go." Qin Yumei took off her apron, turned off the light, walked out of the kitchen, and sat down on the sofa in the living room: "Linlin, this girl is too, she won't stay at home tonight, she ran out to go crazy, didn't she really want to watch "The Voice of China" before?" ”
"Don't worry about it, after all, the child has grown up and has his own opinions, watching TV and watching TV." Lin Haishan shook his head.
"Time flies so slowly, why don't you watch it at home? I had to run to the hotel. Looking at the TV screen in front of her, Ye Mengmeng pursed her lips.
"Come on, don't think I don't know what you have in mind, it's nothing more than wanting to see my parents' wonderful expressions when they see me on the stage." Lin Miaolin didn't have a good airway.
"Why, how could I think that? Sister Linlin, you definitely misunderstood me. Ye Mengmeng hurriedly said.
"Misunderstanding you big-headed ghost, oh my God, where has Ye Mengmeng, who used to be shy and blushing at every turn, since learning to act. I'm becoming more and more good at lying, and I really deserve to learn acting! Lin Miaolin pretended to wail.
"What's the matter, Sister Linlin, you like to make fun of me." Ye Mengmeng's face was slightly red. But he no longer dared to even speak, and his eyes flashed: "Seriously, Sister Linlin, you don't wonder what your uncle and aunt's expressions are?" ”
"I'm curious about you big-headed ghost, I don't dare to go home tonight, I'm still curious." Lin Miaolin didn't have a good airway, and then puffed out her mouth.
"Haha!" Ye Mengmeng laughed out loud.
In a luxury suite of Huangshan Xuanyuan International Hotel, Lin Yuquan, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin sat on the sofa in the living room. Talking and laughing and waiting for the start of "The Voice of China".
When the time came to 8:50, seeing that "The Voice of China" was about to start, tens of millions of viewers sitting in the living room or sofa or stool at home picked up the remote control and turned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.
Time flies. Nine o'clock finally came, and "It's begun, it's begun!" In an instant, the TV channel was locked to the viewers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, no matter what age they were. No matter what the profession is. No matter what kind of personality they are, they all put down what they are doing and keep their eyes on the TV screen.
In the sound of brisk music, the first thing that appears on the screen is a hand holding a microphone, followed by the bold words "The Voice of China", and then the four tutor chairs light up in turn in the dark.
"A good singer is fundamentally your voice." With the sound of talking, Liu Huan appeared on the TV screen.
"I don't care about age, gender, looks, or origin." Yu Cheng Qing Road.
"I only care if your singing can move us." Na Ying said.
"We will do our best to help every student. Make your musical dreams come true. Yang Kun said.
"That's what we're sitting here for today." The four of them said in unison.
Later, after a narration introduction to the four people and Hua Shao's opening slogan, the show officially began.
"Let's welcome the four mentors. They are. ”
The stage lights dimmed, and a familiar sound of music appeared in every house in front of the TV.
"Let me once, let me once, let me love enough at once, give you all I have." Without warning, a loud and powerful song sounded, and the audience who watched the award ceremony of last year's commendation conference suddenly widened their eyes and smiled on their faces: "It's Na Ying." ”
"Unless it's your gentleness, there is no other pursuit", the stage lights were lit up, revealing Na Ying's figure, and then a wonderful scene was staged at the award ceremony of last year's commendation conference, Yu Chengqing, Liu Huan, and Zheng Jun appeared one after another, singing each other's songs.
After the enjoyable stage performance, the four people came to the four luxury seats under the stage to take their seats, but an amazing scene happened, the four luxury seats turned to face the audience, so that the four people completely turned away from the stage, and due to the special construction of the luxury seats, the four people could not see the scene on the stage even if they turned their heads.
Do the instructors have to listen to the contestants sing with their backs to the stage, and then choose according to the singing, while the eyes of countless audience members are flashing with doubts, the whole heart is completely suspended.
"Tonight, the four music instructors are looking for the real Voice of China, they are ready to go, they are ready to continue, Taobao Shopping, The Voice of China, the world premiere starts now."
After Hua Shao's words fell, the narrator sounded, "The first dream student is walking towards our stage", and the scene of a young girl in plain clothes and not tall walking on the tree-lined path holding her parents with her hands appeared in front of every audience who was watching "The Voice of China".
"My name is Huang Ying, I am 20 years old and I am from a very small county town in Bashu. County, I have a very good voice, so my friends like to call me the Yellow Warbler of the Yellow Warbler Bird. Huang Ying introduced herself.
"Uncle and aunt, has she shown a strong musical talent since she was a child?" Hua Shao interviewed Huang Ying's parents.
"I don't know if I have musical talent, but Xiaoyingzi has liked singing and dancing since she was a child, and every day when she comes home from kindergarten, she will sing to us what she learned that day." Huang Ying's father said.
"Mom and Dad are ordinary farmers, the year before last I was admitted to the Bashu Conservatory of Music, I had to drop out of school because of tuition fees, but I never gave up my favorite singing, I have always had a dream, I hope to stand on a big stage to sing, my parents raised me very hard, I also hope to let them live a happy life through their own efforts, come on Huang Ying, you can do it."
After saying what was in her heart, Huang Ying cheered herself up, walked through the passage, took the microphone and stepped on the stage.
"Comon, let's get started!" Yu Chengqing raised his arms and shouted.
Sure enough, the instructors listened to the song with their backs to the stage, and the audience in front of the TV finally fully understood the meaning of the promotional slogan of "The Voice of China" "This is a stage that only cares about your voice, regardless of age, gender, appearance, or origin", in the face of such an unprecedented music talent show mode, for a while, the audience became more and more expectant for Huang Ying's singing.
The melodious music sounded, and Liu Huan and the four of them all listened attentively, waiting for the song to be sung, among which Liu Huan and Na Ying had a faint smile on their faces, as if they knew what song Huang Ying was going to sing.
"In the middle of the night, I look forward to the dawn, the cold winter wax moon and the spring breeze, if you want to look forward to it, the mountains are full of red mountains", Huang Ying's crisp and melodious singing voice sounded, Liu Huan's expressions suddenly changed, and at the same time, the ordinary audience in front of the TV was also all bright, and there was only one voice in their minds: The singing is so good, this voice is simply amazing.
However, the management of major TV stations and people in the music industry all changed their faces, and they knew that the level of stage sound could be known from Huang Ying's singing voice alone, which is worthy of being the most expensive TV program in China so far, this stage sound is too good, too strong.
As Huang Ying's singing progressed, while enjoying the beautiful music, the audience couldn't help but secretly judge Huang Ying's singing level in their hearts, as for Liu Huan, as a mentor, the four of them were even more serious, and they couldn't miss any minute or second in the singing, Yu Chengqing and Na Ying both put their hands on a red button on the seat in front of them, and their expressions were both eager to try and struggle.
"If you want to look forward to the arrival of the Red Army, the mountains are full of red mountains, if you want to look forward to the arrival of the Red Army" When the last "come" word of the chorus was sung, Huang Ying suddenly raised his voice, and almost at the same time, Yu Chengqing and Na Ying pressed the red button without hesitation, and with a sound, the seats of the two turned back to face the stage, looking at Huang Ying who was singing on the stage with a smile.
"The ridge is full of yo Yingshan red, the ridge is full of yo Yingshan red, and the ridge is full of yo Yingshan red" Listening to the layers of advancing trebles in his ears, at this moment, the thousands of households in front of the TV screen did not know how many audience hairs stood up.
Lin Yuquan smiled with satisfaction, yes, this is the music effect I want, this is the music stage I want.
"Bang" "Bang", two successive sound effects of pressing the button sounded, Liu Huan and Zheng Jun couldn't hold back anymore, and turned to look at Huang Ying. (To be continued.) )
