When Lin Yuquan arrived at the banquet hall of the Kunlun Hotel, where the noon banquet of the commendation conference was held, the banquet hall was already a lively scene, and all the people attending the banquet had already arrived, just waiting for his arrival, and after expressing his apologies for arriving late, he naturally had to greet the important people present.

"Hello, Mr. Liu Huan, it is really a great honor to invite you to sit on our show, with you in charge, I believe that "The Voice of China" will definitely become the best music talent show in China." Lin Yuquan shook hands with Liu Huan with a smile on his face and said, of course, there could be no other Liu Huan who could make him say such things at this time, it is precisely because of "Young Ambition Without Sorrow", "Thousands of Questions", "The Crooked Moon", "Song of a Good Man" and other widely circulated and enduring works that are almost a household name in China and are known as Liu Huan, the most influential music godfather in the mainland.

The reason why Liu Huan appeared in the banquet hall is because he is the guest performer at the awards ceremony of tonight's commendation conference, but in addition, he is also the mentor of "The Voice of China", and he is the most important mentor.

Prior to this, after he told Shen Yuan not to care about the production cost, but to strive to create the best music program, Shen Yuan immediately began to assemble the production team and look for the best mentor combination, yes, the best mentor combination, not the best mentor, there is a clear difference between the two.

The best mentor focuses on the ability to guide the students, and the best mentor combination takes into account the influence of the mentors, the degree of mutual understanding, and the overall entertainment effect of the program on the basis of the ability to guide the students.

This is extremely important. What Lin Yuquan wants to create is a top-level audio-visual feast of sound and music. Such a top-notch audio-visual feast. It can't be like Supergirl Fast Man, grandstanding, blindly pursuing star-making and fan effect; Of course, it can't be as boring as the Youth Song Contest and completely detached from the audience.

Just like making a movie, an outstanding film can often combine business and art well, and if "The Voice of China" wants to become a real top-level audiovisual feast, it also needs to achieve a balance between professionalism and entertainment.

It's hard to strike that balance. Because too much entertainment will destroy professionalism, too much professionalism will drive away the audience, it is impossible to achieve the best effect, a good effect should be the entertainment of the program to attract the audience, and create a good atmosphere for listening to songs, so that the audience can be interested in listening to the songs, and then the professionalism will be on the stage, through the tutor's comments and the top stage, presenting the ultimate music audio-visual feast.

To achieve this, the selection of mentors is undoubtedly the most important thing. They are the key to balancing professionalism and entertainment.

For the selection of mentors, the basic requirement is that the mentor must first be a heavyweight in the Chinese music scene. It is particularly important to have extraordinary influence and at least ten years of experience in the industry, which is not only related to the momentum of "The Voice of China" itself, but also to be qualified enough to serve as a mentor.

Secondly, the tutor needs to have a high level of musical literacy, whether it is in music comprehension, aesthetic sensibility, or the accumulation of music knowledge, it should be outstanding, otherwise how to reflect the professionalism of the program in the review.

Secondly, it is also important that the mentor should not only be a pure singer, but also a music producer or a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and after the blind audition, Lin Yuquan hopes that the mentor can give the most suitable guidance to the students to help them present a better stage performance in the next competition.

In this regard, if the instructor is a pure singer, then it is difficult for her to help the students in other aspects except teaching singing skills, and it is not realistic for singing skills to be improved in a short period of time, and once he encounters a student whose singing path is completely different, it is helpless.

In contrast, being a behind-the-scenes music producer is obviously more suitable for this position, a senior music behind-the-scenes producer generally knows how to discover a newcomer better than a successful singer, they can fully tap the potential of students according to the characteristics of the students, "The Voice of China" is just a singing talent competition in the final analysis, there is not enough time to improve the overall quality, to achieve the perfect effect of rebirth, the existence of the mentor is to let the students be guided by the industry, understand the operation of the industry, And in the next competition stage, the best side of his current can be presented.

Finally, the tutor's own personality needs to adapt to the atmosphere of the show, so that they can have a tacit understanding with each other and achieve the ideal entertainment effect, which is of course extremely important.

It is also based on these four points that Shen Yuan and the staff of the variety show department began to look for four mentor candidates in the entire Chinese music scene, and finally did not choose Jacky Cheung, Liu Dehua, Faye Wong, and Jay Chou, who have extraordinary influence in the entire Chinese music scene, to form the most dazzling mentor lineup in the Chinese-speaking region, which is the same as making movies, it is true that such a lineup is bound to bring unprecedented attention to "The Voice of China", which is the guarantee of ratings and exposure, but big names are not equal to suitability, if you can't do a good job in the show, No matter how big the mentor lineup is, it may be able to attract the audience to the greatest extent with the lineup in the early stage, but in the end it will only be labeled as "garbage", and the four are obviously not excellent candidates for the position of mentor of "The Voice of China" to a large extent.

Although Jacky Cheung sang many Chinese songs in the past and sang very beautifully, his Mandarin is actually not fluent, and he still has a strong Hong Kong flavor between his speech, and his guidance ability is not to be talked about.

As for Faye Wong, the shortcomings of pure singers can still be ignored, but some situations cannot be ignored in any case, Faye Wong's biggest problem is undoubtedly her paranoid and cold character, with her character, can she be expected to put down her body and patiently give guidance to students? Can you expect her to compete with other instructors for students in line with the show's entertaining requirements? What's more, can she be expected to comply with the rules of the program team throughout the whole process? It can be said that it is absolutely impossible, as long as there is a slight problem, it may change the direction of the show, which is not allowed by the program production team.

And Liu Dehua certainly has great influence in the Chinese-speaking region. However, his singing skills were criticized. There is also a lack of professional musicianship and the ability to mentor students. It is not difficult to imagine that if he is his mentor, it will inevitably attract endless controversy and criticism, which the program production team does not want to see, in addition, like Jacky Cheung, Lau Dehua's Mandarin also has a lot of problems, in fact, almost all Hong Kong actors and singers have such problems.

Jay Chou is undoubtedly a musical all-rounder. is currently the most appealing singer in the Chinese-speaking region, in addition to being too young and may be criticized, his extremely introverted personality is the biggest problem, and it is impossible to imagine how he cooperates with Jacky Cheung, Faye Wong, and Lau Dehua.

Therefore, although the arrival of the four can greatly increase the influence of "The Voice of China", it is really not a good mentor combination, not to mention that it is not easy to invite any of the four to serve as mentors, let alone let the four of them set aside a few months at the same time to record the program of "The Voice of China".

It is true that problems that can be solved with money are never a problem, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no obstacle to forming such a mentor lineup. But the question is, is it worth it? The answer is obvious, it's all about making a good show. Instead of throwing money at any cost in this regard, it is better to invest in other links that are more meaningful.

Also based on these four points, in the end, musicians like Luo Dayou, Yuan Weiren, and Zhang Yadong were not invited, although they can guide the students well, but their influence in the public is not enough, and it is difficult to make the program entertaining.

In fact, Li Zongsheng was originally a very good candidate, he has a humorous personality, treats people kindly, is familiar with the music production process and the rules of the entertainment industry, not only writes many popular songs, but also discovers and brings out Zhou Huajian, Xin Xiaoqi, Zhang Xinzhe, Mok Wenwei, Guangliang, Pinguan, Mayday, Liang Jingru and other famous singers who have great popularity in the cross-strait three places, as the recognized chief gold medal producer and music godfather in the Chinese pop music scene, he is definitely qualified to serve as the mentor of "The Voice of China", it can even be said, If he doesn't qualify, no one qualifies anymore.

However, "The Voice of China" is a mainland music talent show after all, and in terms of influence in the mainland, Li Zongsheng naturally can't catch up with Liu Huan, and in the case of confirming that Liu Huan has joined, it is obviously not a good choice to invite Li Zongsheng again, which will not only not produce the effect of 1+1 greater than 2, but will completely destroy the balance between professionalism and entertainment, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The reason why he chose to invite Liu Huan, in addition to Liu Huan's unrivaled extensive influence in the mainland, is also because Liu Huan's appearance is to directly improve the level of the program, strictly speaking, Liu Huan's influence in the mainland pop music scene is not as big as imagined, compared to pop songs alone, there are many kings and queens in China singers can beat him, but Liu Huan is a national-level singer, is now the only popular musician in China, his participation will make "The Voice of China" completely different from other entertainment talent shows.

At the same time, Liu Huan is also a teacher, one of the first few musicians in Chinese mainland who can compose, arrange and produce music using computers, and his participation can fully give good guidance to the college.

"Director Lin is polite, it should be you who gave me such a precious opportunity and fulfilled my dream, I have always hoped that there will be such a show, which can achieve the purpose of calling on the public to pay attention to music itself." Liu Huan said with a smile, when Shen Yuan invited him to be the mentor of "The Voice of China", his first reaction was to refuse, until he learned about the mode of the show, Shuguang Film, especially Lin Yuquan's own attitude towards this show, thinking of the significance of the show to the current domestic music market, he immediately agreed.

"With you, Mr. Liu Huan, in charge, I believe that our program will definitely achieve such a purpose." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, although Liu Huan's concept is different from his own vision, but the ultimate goal is the same, that is, to present a top-level music feast, from the bottom of his heart, he admires Liu Huan's ideal, maybe Liu Huan's concept can not be realized in the end, but such a concept definitely has the value of existence.

And Liu Huan is not just verbal, after agreeing to be a mentor, he invested great enthusiasm, not only held a meeting with the program team to discuss and select other mentor candidates, but also provided a lot of constructive suggestions for the program team.

"I want it too." Liu Huan smiled.

After greeting the important people present, lunch officially began, and after lunch, Lin Yuquan immediately drove back to China World Hotel to continue to participate in the afternoon meeting, as for the nominators, award presenters, and performers, they naturally left one after another to make final preparations for the awards ceremony in the evening.

Because it is completely different from the commendation conference of the Directors Association for self-entertainment in the previous two years, the venue of the award ceremony of this commendation conference will naturally not choose the hotel conference hall, but after some screening, it will finally be selected at the National Center for the Performing Arts.

Completed last year and opened at the end of the year, the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) is undoubtedly a unique landscape, with a semi-ellipsoidal steel structure at its centre, a simple and atmospheric surface made of titanium panels and ultra-clear transparent glass. Especially at night, the visual effect of the venue is even more amazing, and the mushroom lights on the surface of the shell are dotted with stars, like confusing stars, and the whole is full of subtle and unique charm and beauty.

However, the magnificent venue is only one of the reasons for choosing it, and the more important reason is that the venue of the National Centre for the Performing Arts provides extremely superior environmental conditions for the holding of the award ceremony, and the most magnificent building in it, the opera house, has an advanced stage with the functions of pushing, pulling, rising, descending, and turning, and has a pool seat on the first floor and a balcony on the third floor, with a total of 2,398 auditoriums, which fully meets the indoor needs of the award ceremony.

Outside, the shell is surrounded by a rippling artificial lake, but that's not the point, it's because there's a huge cultural plaza outside the venue, and there's plenty of room for the awards show to be a big red carpet show, something that many venues in Kyoto don't have.

As a current event that has attracted much attention, when the time came to the afternoon of December 6, a large number of media reporters and fans had come to the China Grand Theater and gathered around the red carpet.

At the same time, the staff of the public relations company responsible for the holding of the award ceremony, the CCTV staff responsible for the TV broadcast, and the security personnel responsible for maintaining order were all on standby.

Not to mention the nominees, award presenters, and performers who attended the awards ceremony.

And across the strait, in Taichung City, the same scene is being played out at the same time.

Not only that, there are too many people on the two sides of the strait, although they will not attend the award ceremony, but at this moment, they are also waiting, waiting for the start of the two grand events, waiting for the collision between the two Mars and the earth, and waiting for the announcement of the collision results.

And everyone has irrepressible excitement and anticipation in their hearts, who will win and who will lose?

The hope will be a commendation meeting (Golden Horse Awards), and countless people are silently praying in their hearts. (To be continued.)

PS: I forgot to say it when I was updated, talk about my own opinion, the huge success of "The Voice of China" is largely due to the fact that it has a team of mentors who cooperate tacitly, entertaining and professional, the mentor lineup of The Voice is actually not the bigger the better, the key is whether the mentors can collide with a spark of pleasure, I saw the voice mentor lineup composed of Liu Huan, Li Zongsheng, Faye Wong, Andy Lau in a novel before, forgive the choice, the picture is too beautiful, I can't imagine what kind of scene it would be for the four of them to turn around and comment on robbing people, it was definitely a terrible disaster, it was not enough entertainment to be entertaining, it was not professional enough, and no one knew if Faye Wong would suddenly show her paranoia during the recording of the show.
