The next day, the ratings of The Voice came out.

According to Nielsen, 20.8 million subscribers in the U.S. watched "The Voice" on satellite TV when it premiered, and 9 million of Star TV's 27 million paid cable subscribers watched the show on demand.

Cable on demand costs $1 per session, which means $9 million in cable paid revenue for "The Voice" that night.

After continuing to premiere and getting off to a good start, the ratings of the second and third episodes climbed again, and the number of viewers of wireless users in the United States reached 35 million.

35 million - this number broke the record of 32 million held by ABC's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", the hottest variety show at the moment.

The Voice has achieved even more dazzling results on the cable TV network, with 11 million on-demand times in the second phase and 15 million on-demand times in the third phase.

This means that after just three episodes of The Voice, the Voice has earned $35 million in revenue through cable payments without any solicitation, and it has already recouped its investment costs overnight.

The first season of "The Voice of America" has a total of 12 episodes + annual ceremonies, and through the first three episodes, it can be estimated that the cable on-demand revenue of a season is at least more than 100 million US dollars.

Such an unnatural achievement made "The Voice of America" become the national variety show ratings champion, and the major mainstream media in the United States did not know what words to use to express their shock in the face of such dazzling results for a while. Like the Los Angeles Times, simply add three exclamation points - "The Voice of America——!!! as a headline in the news.

"The Voice of America" is on fire, Avril is on fire, Lincoln Park is on fire, 12-year-old boy Karen is on fire, and Jesse, a black girl, and Benjamin the plumber are on fire.

Posts related to The Voice have sprung up on the Internet, and the number of IP visits to the official website of "The Voice" has exceeded 500,000 per day. And the top three forums in the United States, Microsoft Community Forum, Google Google+1 Forum. On the IGN Gaming & Entertainment Community Forum, the hottest topic to talk about is good voices.

Let's click on a few posts and see what netizens are talking about.

"There is infinite power in your heart, and when you pick up the microphone, the whole world can't resist your style and charm! When you take off the smoky makeup, the beauty becomes more real. Avril Avril won't be too lonely, because Blackstar never leaves. You were born 15 years ago in a small town in Ontario, Canada, and when you were 10 years old, you said you would be famous, and you did. 1 You officially debuted this year, and you said that you would definitely make some achievements in the music world, and you did it. Avril Lavigne, a girl who is cool to the bone, you are the eternal Vivi in my heart!! This post titled "Weiwei, this is written for you" was written by a netizen named Dong Dong Long. There are a lot of follow-ups under this post.

"I really love Avril so much, I'll help you top it, landlord."

"Great love!"

"Big Love +1."

Looking at Linkin Park, which is also very popular, netizens have a lot of posts discussing him.

"Beethoven said that true music must be able to bring hope and strength to people!"

"The singing voices of the two lead singers are shocking. It was like giving me a faith! Even if we are ordinary. No matter how mediocre it is. But we must dare to think and dare to do. ”

"The sound quality is so good, it's so clear, and the atmosphere is awesome!!"

"Ha Luha, I suddenly feel that the lead singer misses Bei Ye very much."

"The Green Day Band is the greatest Lincoln Reckoning."

"Upstairs. The two bands are fundamentally different two styles, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, why don't you say that the slipknot is king~~~?? ”

"The slipknot is pretty good, but I guess he doesn't know what the slipknot is?"

"Fifth floor. THAT-THAT-THAT-WHAT ABOUT YOU WHO COME IN AND EAT POOP? ”

Hehe, seeing this situation, needless to say, I know that a black fan was trampled on very badly.

It doesn't make sense that the trainees are on fire, the tutor is not on fire, and the four mentors are all on fire. And the most discussed on the Internet are Mike Jackson and Liu Dehua mentors.

It's no surprise that Mike has always been popular on the internet. In the past, netizens were conquered by Mike's music and space steps, and the comments were all "god-like MJ", "always imitated, never surpassed".

And this time, everyone saw a different Mike, who peaked his previous image. When he commented on the students, he was meticulous and penetrated, and when he was fighting for the students, he said "I have 32 concerts this year" to kill the audience. He was even jokingly called "32 Lang" by everyone.

The reason why Liu Dehua surpassed the other two mentors to become a hot topic on the Internet is that he is very controversial, because he is the only Chinese among the four.

When the first episode was broadcast, many American netizens didn't know who he was, but he sat there, and he was not inferior to other mentors in terms of appearance, temperament, and especially aura.

After all, Liu Dehua is the top king among the Chinese, and he is also a figure who stands at the top, and that invisible temperament and charm are everywhere. Just like a national leader standing in front of you, even if you don't know him, you can tell at a glance that this person is not an ordinary person.

Even if a charismatic king-level figure like Liu Dehua throws him to a primitive tribe in Africa, no one around him knows him, but as long as he is given 10 minutes, he can become the focus of the crowd.

So when the show was broadcast, the audience immediately attracted his handsomeness, and then was impressed by his demeanor and charm. And then people wonder who he is. What experience did he have? As a result, the number of visits to the special section of the official website of "The Voice of America" has skyrocketed, second only to Michael Jackson.

Many netizens want to know about the past of this charming superstar from the East.

Every netizen who entered Liu Dehua's special area and read his information had a shocking feeling. One of the four kings of Hong Kong, an Asian film and television song superstar, what is even more rare is that this superstar is not a very talented person, he relies on his own diligence and unremitting efforts to get to where he is today.

In addition, the information in the special area also highlights the excellent character of this Asian king, who is keen on charity and public welfare activities, and has almost no negative news for many years.

I don't know how to do it, I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out that Andy's mentor was so bullish. This has become a common feeling for almost all netizens.

As a result, many rotten girls fell hopelessly in love with Andy's mentor. They frantically rummaged through the Internet for various Andy songs, movies and other works, even though many of them did not understand Chinese, but this did not stop their enthusiasm.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, some people like it, some people don't like it, 70% of American netizens like Andy's mentor and are overwhelmed by his charm, and the remaining 20% of netizens say they have no love, don't like it or hate it, and only 10% of netizens are black fans.

Most of the black fans wear colored glasses, and they are all habitually looking down on other races. For example, CNN is a habitual smear of China.

You said that CNN is a news organization that hates China so much, no, most of CNN's senior management, staff, reporters, and media practitioners do not hate China, and it is still positive about some aspects of its coverage of China. But why did it turn to black China for 30 years, so that Chinese netizens complained: "Don't be too CNN"?

In fact, this is because after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, China became the largest socialist country in the world, and China's economic growth after 1978 is undoubtedly the greatest economic achievement in history: hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty, the most modern infrastructure has been built, advanced technology has been developed, and so on. All this has made China a truly successful socialist country. However, the more successful China is, the more the West will want to discredit China. The purpose of this smear is very clear: to change everyone's perception of China. What they want to create is that if China succeeds, it's because it's not really socialist, and if China fails, it's because it's socialist.

In this big political context, the topic of China has always been a hot topic in the American media. At the same time, in addition to the reasons for political antagonism, the US media also has its own reasons for smearing China - "bad news is good news", which is the consistent code of conduct of the US news media.

In the United States, the media is regarded as a fourth power independent of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, and can play an important role in supervising the government and maintaining social fairness and democracy. Therefore, they are more interested in negative news, and at the same time, as an independent news organization, the private nature of CNN determines that its purpose is still to obtain huge profits, so they are more inclined to report some explosive news that attracts the attention of the audience, and the audience's hobbies and interests are an important basis for influencing the selection of American media.

Given the media's "bad news is good news" journalistic habit and taking into account the curiosity of the majority of the audience, it is not surprising that CNN's coverage of China pays more attention to negative news about China, which not only wins people's attention and appeal, but also earns considerable revenue.

It's too normal to have black fans and a navy, not to mention the United States, even among the Chinese people who don't like Liu Dehua.

For example, there were black fan remarks on the Tianya Forum, which has only been established for more than 2 months in China, to the effect that: "Liu Dehua is a judge, and his level is not as good as that of the students, and when the students ask him questions, he doesn't know 3, and he can't create, and he doesn't have singing skills, so what should he do?" When the mascot? Who wants to be in this kind of mentor team? It's better to let Liu Dehua be a first-round selection, it's too reluctant to be a mentor. ”

It's okay to laugh at this kind of speech, freedom of speech, Liu Dehua himself didn't expect everyone to like him.

When it comes to the country, does "The Voice of America" have an impact on the country? Yes, and the impact is great.

"The Voice of America" caused a ratings frenzy in the United States and surprised the American media, so the impact in China is no less than an earthquake. (To be continued......)
