440 fairness in the entertainment industry
After staying in the magic capital for a few days, Tang Lingfei boarded another flight and went straight to the recording site of The Voice. With her, in addition to the agent Sister Sun, of course, there are Song Xingye and Xu Zhe.
It's like coming to the magic capital on a plane.
Only this time, there are no other companions who take the initiative to get married. After arriving at her destination calmly, Sister Sun rented a spacious SUV and drove three young people to the gymnasium where the show was recorded.
On the way, Sister Sun suddenly asked, "Have you all watched the show The Voice?" ”
Tang Lingfei looked at the boy in the co-pilot's seat and said with a smile: "I have seen it with Xiao Yezi, but whether a certain boss has seen it, it's hard to say." ”
Xu Zhe: "I've seen it, but I haven't seen much. ”
Next to her, Song Xingye, who was also sitting in the back row, said: "It means that you know the general process of this show, but you are not interested in this kind of entertainment product, right?" ”
Xu Zhe nodded.
Sister Sun said again: "Then you should all know that this show is nominally blind audition." The four instructors had their backs to the stage and could only hear the voices of the contestants. The mentor chooses whether to turn around or not based on the singing, and the contestant will also choose one of the people who turn around as their mentor. When the show first appeared in China two years ago, it was still very new, and it looked fair and interesting. ”
Xu Zhe smiled: "Interesting is really interesting, but it looks fair, not necessarily really fair." ”
Sister Sun's voice also had a smile in her voice: "Mr. Xu, you don't know enough about these. Fair is necessarily unfair. It's fun, but it doesn't have to be fun. ”
Xu Zhe was slightly stunned: "It seems that I really don't know enough......"
Tang Lingfei couldn't help but interrupt: "What are you talking about?" Is The Voice unfair to this show? So why should we participate? ”
Sister Sun said indifferently: "Because we have bargaining chips to talk to others at the table." However, for people who don't have chips, there is no fairness. If I say that the mentors already know whether the contestants will turn around before they take the stage, do you believe it? ”
As a loyal viewer of the Voice program, Tang Lingfei couldn't refute it, so she could only say: "Then, no......"
Sister Sun: "Of course, I don't have any solid evidence. However, the program team did assure me that you will definitely be able to pass the first round of blind auditions, or even the third round. ”
Song Xingye asked, "In the third round, how many players are left?" ”
Sister Sun has long been familiar with these: "The third round I said is eight into four, and there are only the last four people left in each mentor's hands. The four mentors add up to sixteen. ”
Xu Zhe: "In other words, Fei Fei guarantees the top 16 in the country, right?" ”
Tang Lingfei was stunned and said, "Wait, wait!" I haven't been on stage yet, what if I make a mistake? ”
Sister Sun glanced at Xu Zhe.
Xu Zhe shook his head slightly, and then said: "The show has a professional sound repairer, so don't be afraid of mistakes, don't be afraid of the audience applauding, it's enough to work hard to give full play to your strength." ”
There was silence in the car for a while.
Suddenly, Song Xingye asked, "Why are you talking about this now?" ”
Xu Zhe understood what she meant - if she didn't say anything, wouldn't it be bad for Fei Fei to think that this was a fair stage?
Sister Sun sighed: "Because before getting on the plane, the assistant director contacted me." ”
Xu Zhe asked, "Did the other party make a request?" ”
Sister Sun: "How to say it - for players with different identities, the price code is different. With our connections, it is no problem to ensure that Fei Fei enters the top 16, but there are other requirements in the future. If you are an ordinary player, at this stage, you should sign with them. ”
Xu Zhe: "Do I have to join the agency of this program group?" ”
Sister Sun: "Well, but we have Soni music behind us, so it's impossible to join them." Besides, the contracts they gave to artists, uh, I just look at it from the perspective of a passerby, and I think it's quite excessive. ”
Xu Zhe: "If you don't join, it's impossible to advance?" ”
Sister Sun: "Unless you choose Sa Ying as your mentor." ”
As we all know, the Voice program group will have four mentors throughout, who are responsible for shooting the turn button, selecting the singers under their command, and finally, sending the best singers to the stage of the finals. And the four mentors of this season, namely Sa Ying, Wang Feng, Yang Kong, and Qin Qi, are all well-known bigwigs in the music industry.
"But why is it different to choose Sa Ying?" Tang Lingfei was very puzzled.
"Because even if you are the same mentor, the relationship with the program team is different."
After Sister Sun's meaningful voice fell, the car was quiet for a while.
Suddenly, Tang Lingfei spoke: "I don't want to participate in this show anymore." ”
Xu Zhe: "Think it's unfair? ”
Tang Lingfei: "Yes, I just think it's boring to make it like this!" ”
Xu Zhe smiled: "I seem to have read such a sentence somewhere before, and I have forgotten where I read it, probably like this - if you can't tolerate lice and fleas, then it is impossible to put on that gorgeous robe." ”
Tang Lingfei pursed her mouth: "But I didn't want any fancy clothes at the beginning." ”
Xu Zhe: "Okay, if you really don't want to, we can leave now." ”
Tang Lingfei: "Leave now?" ”
This made Sister Sun unable to calm down. It's just that she is still holding the steering wheel in her hand, and it is not easy to park at will on this section of the road, so she hurriedly asked: "Isn't it, Mr. Xu, are you serious?" ”
Xu Zhe: "Of course we have to listen to the opinions of the contestants themselves. If she doesn't think the show is worth participating, we'll turn around and go back immediately, and that's okay. ”
Sister Sun: "......"
Song Xingye opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
The car was quiet again.
Tang Lingfei suddenly asked, "Do you want me to participate?" I don't want to know other people's opinions, I only ask you. ”
There is no name in this question about 'you', but Sister Sun and Xiao Yezi in the car both know who Fei Fei is asking.
Xu Zhe: "I want you to become stronger. ”
Tang Lingfei took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll participate." ”
Song Xingye next to him smiled: "Actually, Fei Fei, the dirty reality you came into contact with is already separated by a thick layer of protection. ”
Tang Lingfei: "I understand, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be a singer." But ......"
Xu Zhe: "But what? ”
Tang Lingfei: "I don't want to choose Sa Ying as a mentor. ”
Sister Sun hurriedly persuaded: "Feifei, you don't have to worry too much, Sa Ying is also a woman, and it is impossible to get any unspoken rules." ”
Tang Lingfei shook her head: "I'm not afraid of unspoken rules. With Xu Zhe here, who can subtly rule me? I just think that since this show is so boring, it doesn't mean anything to get a good ranking in the end. They won't let me advance, huh, I don't want it yet! ”
Xu Zhe smiled: "It's okay, the top 16 are enough." Our goal was just to show our face a little bit so that we could build momentum for the release of the album. ”
