Extracting skills from movies

This period of time has been turbulent.

In particular, the fierce competition between Phoenix TV and TVB has attracted a lot of media attention.

The related topic continues to gain popularity and has been widely reported in the country.

After all, this is a huge change caused by Du Sheng taking over Phoenix TV, so there are bound to be spectators.

It was against this backdrop that Phoenix TV launched a new music variety show for the first time, bringing the competition to the mainland.

It is said that not only will Du Sheng personally serve as the honorary mentor, but Bay City goddess Lin Zhiling will also join as the host!
For a time, countless people were eagerly waiting.

Faced with this challenge, Mango TV had to use its trump card - "Super Girl 2".

They even moved up the original selection time to cope with this sudden competition.

The media has mixed reactions to this, and the comments are endless.

However, it can be seen how huge the pressure Phoenix TV has brought to Mango TV is.

When Mango TV announced the rules and restrictions for the contestants, there was an uproar in the outside world.

Many people believe that Mango TV’s move is too tough and even a bit extreme.

In contrast, Phoenix TV is more open and inclusive.

President Su Xiao personally spoke out, saying that Phoenix TV not only welcomes competition, but is also not afraid of any form of competition.

He emphasized that Phoenix TV would not adopt the same rules as Mango TV that were unfavorable to contestants.

Instead, contestants are encouraged to freely choose whether to participate in the competition at the same time based on their actual situation.

Phoenix TV's wave of overwhelming support naturally won praise from many media outlets.

But even so, most people still have reservations about the prospects of "Voice of the East".

After all, "Super Girl" has already occupied an unshakable position in the hearts of the audience.

It is not easy to surpass it.

Moreover, in some places in the country, Phoenix TV cannot be received unless you use the newly launched set-top box.

.........

This weekend, after finishing her homework, Tan Xiaoxia immediately turned on the computer.

As a loyal fan of Sheng, she has long been accustomed to browsing related social media every day.

Suddenly, a post caught her attention:

"Sheng fans, Brother Sheng has released a new single!"

As soon as this statement came out, the comment section below exploded:

"It's fake, right? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"Click scam! How could you hide anything from me?"

"Say half and keep the other half, are you Wolf?"

At first, Tan Xiaoxia also suspected that this was just a blog for attracting attention.

After all, Du Sheng had just finished his concerts in mainland China and Hong Kong, and was about to go on an overseas tour. How could he have the time to release a new single?
But this time she guessed wrong, and the latest reply popped up:
"Fuck! Sisters, go watch Phoenix TV!"

"It really exists. It's the promotional song for Phoenix TV's music variety show!"

"Wow, with Lin Zhiling's pairing, Brother Sheng looks so handsome!"

These comments make your heart beat faster.

Tan Xiaoxia immediately returned to the hall and snatched the remote control from her father.

"Hey, Xiaoxia, what are you doing!"

"Dad, you've been sitting for too long and your lumbar muscles are strained. Why don't you get up and move around~"

She said as she quickly switched channels.

I just tuned into Phoenix TV and saw a gorgeous figure in a professional suit on the screen.

Next to Lin Zhiling was the handsome and energetic Du Sheng.

This is obviously a short MV, he is seen walking and singing:

"...

my dream
Stay strong with a smile

Sing loudly
Across the vast ocean

This world is full of imagination

Flying with the notes..."

Tan Xiaoxia was so excited that she almost jumped up.

Du Sheng really released a new single!

She stared at the screen intently, with a look of dreaminess in her eyes.

Although the MV of this song is relatively concise, both the melody and lyrics are very good, and it sounds inspiring.

It should be a song that encourages life, which fits the promotional theme quite well.

After the music ended, Du Sheng and Lin Zhiling smiled and pointed to the audition papers behind them:

“Sing loudly, we are waiting for you at Voice of the East, come sing together!”

Tan Xiaoxia had heard of "Voice of the East", and all kinds of advertisements for it had been everywhere in recent days.

But what she didn't expect was that the program team would attract audiences in this way.

Du Sheng’s new song is not only a promotional song tailor-made for the program, but also means that the top three contestants in each region will have the opportunity to sign a contract with Star Media.

Have the opportunity to work with Du Sheng!

What’s even more exciting is that Star Media plans to select outstanding talents from the top three in all regions and train them according to Girls’ Generation’s standards!
Tan Xiaoxia's eyes were sparkling.

This means that she could potentially work with her idol and maybe even shine like him.

Her heart started pounding just thinking about it!

She couldn't wait to run to the phone and call her roommate who was also a fan of Sheng to share the good news.

As the number one internet celebrity, Du Sheng's new song quickly attracted widespread discussion once it was released.

It's not only because of the high quality of the song itself, but more importantly, the meaning behind it——

Promotional song for "Voice of the East"!

Many media outlets have also begun to re-evaluate the potential of Voice of the East.

It is believed that with the strong support of Du Sheng and the gimmick of creating a new generation of idols, "The Voice of China" may really be able to compete with "Super Girl".

Considering Du Sheng’s huge fan base and their fanaticism, especially the unforgettable battle of Sheng fans.

It can be foreseen that even if the singer finally selected is unpredictable, his popularity and popularity should not be underestimated!

Amidst the heated discussions, "Voice of the East" officially started auditions.

This selection is mainly a blind selection stage for mentors.

The program team determined the candidates after several rounds of auditions.

During the blind audition, the mentor turns his back to the students and makes the selection based solely on their voices.

If the instructor presses the button and turns around, the student will be included in his team. When multiple instructors turn around, the student can make their own choice.

Students who are not selected can go to the training camp and wait for opportunities. 28 outstanding students will be selected in the first round from each region.

That night, Mr. Tan and his family sat in front of the TV.

"This forensic doctor is amazing. Not only can he find evidence wherever he goes, but he can also pick up beautiful women at any time."

Mr. Tan couldn't help but sigh as he watched the romantic character played by Ma Guoming on TV.

"Why, are you envious?"

Mrs. Tan glared at him.

“No, no, I just think he’s a bit of a scumbag.

With such strong professional knowledge, he actually killed his fiancée and accepted the love confession of the female inspector afterwards. He is such a bastard!"

Mr. Tan hurried to explain.

"Humph, men always eat from the bowl and look at the pot!"

Mrs. Tan said dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, why take watching TV so seriously?"

Mr. Tan saw that the TV show had finally finished, and quickly changed the subject:
"Look, the blind auditions for 'Voice of the East' are about to begin."

Mrs. Tan snorted coldly and turned her gaze to the TV screen, but her eyes widened unexpectedly.

Into the room in the picture, a teenage girl and a well-dressed lady walked.

The receptionist asked politely:

"Excuse me, who is here to participate in the competition?"

The little girl stuck out her tongue playfully and replied:
"This is my mom. I signed up for the competition and she insisted on coming along."

The lady looked a little unhappy and said:
“How can singing songs be more important than studying?
I plan to take her back to study hard after she is eliminated, so that she won’t be running around outside all day.”

After hearing this, several receptionists were speechless for a moment.

But he still nodded to show his understanding.

The little girl didn't seem to be affected by her mother's words. Instead, she looked very happy and relaxed.

She walked straight to the front desk, smiled and greeted several mentors who had their backs to the stage, and then got into the mood:
"Gray sky, your face

After loving, crying, laughing, and being hurt, all that’s left is goodbye…”

Although several mentors could only conduct blind auditions based on the voice, they could still feel that it was the voice of a little girl.

And her voice quality is quite good, which makes the instructors feel happy.

The voice is sweet and pleasant, the words are full of longing and youthful vigor...

It perfectly interprets the emotions of the song "The First Person I Love".

The male instructor next to him pressed the button without hesitation, turned around, and prepared to praise:
"Very good, you..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ms. Sun in the audience. She said in surprise:
"Hey, are you guys mistaken? How can she pass singing like this?"

"Ms. Sun, your daughter's performance is really outstanding!" the tutor explained with a smile.

The audience in front of the TV also thought that what he said made sense.

This little girl not only has a sweet voice and sings in tune, but her stage performance is also very natural and lively, far surpassing some of the previous contestants.

“Then I want to sign up too!”

Ms. Sun said suddenly.

Several mentors looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

"Hello, Ms. Sun, you didn't sign up before, and we still need to screen you..."

The little girl on the stage, who was originally smiling, now looked a little embarrassed.

The lenses are lost.

Who is this singer?
"Humph, who said I can't sing? Xiao Ting can sing with just three moves, so how can she stump me?"

The lady asked back:
“Or do you have an age limit here?”

The male instructor quickly waved his hand and replied:

“No, no, anyone who loves singing can sign up for the competition for free, regardless of singing style, age, appearance or region.

Ms. Sun, don't sign up, just sing on your daughter's stage."

The instructor just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible to avoid affecting the normal progress of the competition.

Mr. Tan in front of the TV also felt that this lady was a bit too much and laughed:
"I think she's going to make a fool of herself in a little while!"

Ms. Sun walked onto the stage calmly, cleared her throat, and began speaking:
"Three points are destined
七 分 靠 打拼

Only hard work can lead to success..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone present was shocked.

Although Ms. Sun was just singing a cappella, she managed to bring out the flavor of this Minnan song.

The pitch is spot on and the singing is full of real meaning.

Anyone can hear the encouragement in it, which allows people in difficult situations to regain their confidence and continue to fight.

The song "Only by Working Hard Can You Win" is widely known, even those who don't often listen to Minnan songs are familiar with it.

Ms. Sun's performance not only touched the hearts of the instructors on site, but also moved the audience in front of the TV.

After Ms. Sun finished singing a song, several mentors pressed the button, turned around and applauded.

The usually serious female teacher couldn't hold back her inner admiration and gave a thumbs up and said:
"Ms. Sun, I didn't expect you to sing so well! Congratulations on passing!"

The little girl ran forward excitedly, hugged her mother's arms, and said with admiration:

"Wow, Mom, I didn't expect you to be so talented!"

Ms. Sun smiled proudly:
"Humph, we come from a musical family, this little skill is nothing!"

Mr. Tan widened his eyes, surprised at the amazing performance of the mother and daughter.

Mrs. Tan on the side also laughed and joked:
"Who just said that I was going to make a fool of myself?"

The audience in front of the TV was also in an uproar.

Unexpectedly, several contestants failed to pass before, but this time two of them successfully advanced at once.

Then several contestants came on stage and the mentors gave their hot comments:

"Although I can't see your face because my back is turned to you, could you open your mouth a little wider? Your voice sounds like it's been squeezed by a door."

This is actually a reminder for contestants to pay attention to pronunciation techniques and not to sing at a strained voice.

"Little sister, you sang well, but could you hold back a little on the high notes? I feel like the lights are going to explode!"

These humorous comments caused laughter at the scene.

The audience also enjoyed it, and such interaction made them feel very close.

Mr. Tan suggested with a smile:
"Wife, why don't you take your daughter to try too? I think you can be selected too!"

Although Mrs. Tan refused:
"I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to go to the auditions?"

But I had already started to think about it in my heart.

After all, what woman doesn’t like to stand on the stage and shine?

At this point, the audience no longer compares "The Voice of China" with "Super Girl".

"Super Girl" is noisy, but most of the contestants there are like those in a vegetable market.

Moreover, there are four rounds of auditions, with hundreds or thousands of people selected, so there are not many memorable points at all.

In contrast, "Voice of the East" focuses more on showing the style of ordinary people with a little skill.

Everyone thinks they have KTV level and are definitely better than most people.

Moreover, there is no need for repeated auditions, and unlike "Super Girl" where people are judged based on appearance, blind selection based solely on voice is sufficient, thus avoiding a lot of messy troubles.

This sense of intimacy makes the show more appealing.

"I can get in based on my voice and nothing else, so I can do that too?"

Many people have this thought in their minds.

In the past, such opportunities to participate were rare.

But now, I have the opportunity to let my family and friends see my style. How can I miss it?

What's more, there is no fee for the auditions.

Even if the performance is not good, it will not be worse than those weird players.

As the slogan of "Voice of the East" says:
“Embrace your dreams and sing loudly!”

Soon after the broadcast of "Voice of the East", an uproar arose in the public opinion field.

Some people praised the program for being professional, down-to-earth and diverse, unlike "Super Girl" which was a mess.

Of course, where there are likes, there are criticisms.

Many so-called experts and big Vs have given their opinions, calling "Voice of the East" a clumsy work that pretenses on art.

What the hell are blind auditions and mentor teams? They're just gimmicks.

The rankings might have already been decided behind the scenes.

This kind of selection method cannot be compared with "Super Girl" where anyone can go on stage.

On Mango TV, the secretary smiled and reported to Liu Xiang:
"Mr. Liu, from the current perspective, 'Voice of the East' is mostly a gimmick, just a play on novelty.

But ours is a truly popular competition, and this is the most authentic performance close to the audience.

I think audiences will quickly lose interest in this kind of sensationalism.

When our Super Girls enters the second round, it will be clear at a glance that they are a perfect match.”

Liu Xiang nodded slightly, agreeing in his heart.

He took some time to watch "Voice of the East" last night, and it was indeed full of gimmicks, some of which were even flashy.

Especially the mentors and students form teams to improve and compete together.

He thought to himself, is it that people nowadays like to watch training-based series?
However, his attention to Phoenix TV has greatly increased.

Liu Xiang thought for a moment and then said:

"As long as we can attract all the talents to Super Girl, it will be futile for Voice of the East to promote it.

Next, we will strictly control that all contestants who sign up for Super Girl will not be allowed to make their voices heard outside of the competition, and will not be accepted in the future!"

Although this approach may attract public criticism, will Liu Xiang pay attention to it?

In his opinion, the process is not important, the most important thing is the result!

Despite many doubts from the outside world about "Voice of the East", the ratings of the program continue to rise.

Among the initial applicants, a quarter chose to sing songs by Du Sheng or Girls' Generation.

Obviously, most of these contestants are loyal fans of the two stars.

However, in just the past few days, the proportion of people choosing their songs has dropped to one in eight.

This is not because Du Sheng’s fan base has shrunk.

Rather, it is due to a surge in the number of applicants.

Many spectators have always been full of enthusiasm for entertainment, and when they have the opportunity to show themselves, they will seize the opportunity without hesitation.

They don't care whether they can actually appear on TV screens, what matters is to enjoy the process.

During this period, Du Sheng, who was far away overseas, communicated with the program production team by phone every day to understand the progress and provide guidance.

Although he has explained the core concept of the program, there are always various unexpected situations in actual operation, which require timely adjustments.

In addition, Du Sheng also learned about the ban issued by Mango TV, but he didn't care about it.

Perhaps some people think that "The Voice of the East" is just an ordinary singing competition.

But in fact, this is an idol development series!
An entertainment feast aimed at cultivating idols through universal participation.

As long as the audience invests their emotions and energy, they will share the joys and sorrows of their favorite contestants.

How could the ratings be any lower?
Therefore, Mango TV's restrictive measures have little effect on Voice of the East.

What Du Sheng wants is a wide influence.

It also draws on the successful model of the previous show "Idol Producer" to discover and cultivate potential music talents.

Amid various public opinions and controversies, the audition stage of "Voice of the East" came to a successful conclusion.

The audience gradually became familiar with the three mentors with different styles.

Zhou Huimin on the left has won many fans with her gentle and beautiful image.

Zhou Huajian, who is in the middle, is known for his humor and often brings laughter to the scene.

Han Hong on the right, with his sharp commentary style, brought tons of critical hits to the players.

As the last day of auditions came to an end, several mentors showed expressions of relief the moment they put down their cue cards.

More than twenty days of high-intensity work is really exhausting.
