The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 247 The invisible benefits brought by "The Voice of China", the peak night begins

On September 9, the downstairs of the Capital Morning Light Building was crowded with audiences who came to watch the final of “The Voice of China” - the peak night.

They started drawing for today's entry qualifications through Morning Light Music's online channels half a month ago.

Also, the rules state that only members are eligible to participate in the draw.

Therefore, Morning Music, which had seen a decline in membership due to the start of charging fees, experienced a small climax in membership growth after the introduction of the "new member acquisition fee". This time, due to the attraction of the "Voice of China" finals, the number of membership of Morning Music has once again begun to increase significantly.

During the free period, the number of members of Morning Glory Music reached 3000 million, but it dropped sharply to less than million after it started charging.

After launching the "attracting new members" and "sharing" functions at the beginning of this year, the number of members in China has returned to around 9 million as of early September.

After the two countries' "Voice of China" programs were launched, because the cover versions of the mentors and students could only be found on Morning Light Music, the total number of members in the two countries reached over 4000 million, of which China accounted for about 1000 million.

When Morning Music began drawing the qualifications for the finals, the total number of members of Morning Music in both countries had exceeded 7000 million, of which about 2000 million were Chinese users.

After all, who could resist the opportunity to watch Michael Jackson and Zhang Chen perform on stage?

For this item alone, Morning Glory Music's revenue in September increased by approximately US$9 million, with net profit reaching US$2.3 million.

This is additional growth, not including the existing membership income.

If the two are added together, the actual revenue in September should be US$9 million, with a net profit of nearly US$4.7 million.

Among them, China only contributed 400 million US dollars, because China's membership fee converted into US dollars is just over 1 US dollar, while the membership fee of the United States is 8.99 US dollars.

Hosting "The Voice of China" is not just about discovering some talented newcomers, the business involved is also Zhang Chen's focus.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask Zhang Shaohan to be an extra singer.

After all, it's all business, but few people can see it clearly and think that he is wasting a good talent.

Zhang Chen could only say that there was this reason, but not much.

Of course, there must be some water in the number of new members this month. Some people just want to get an admission qualification to become a member. It is not clear whether they will renew their membership next month. But even if they cannot retain a single new member, their expenditure this month is enough to support Zhang Chen to host several more sessions of "The Voice of China".
“It seems that we really need to launch a third-party payment platform.”

Zhang Chen sat in his office, handling work before the game began.

He felt that many of the industries he was in charge of were related to the Internet, and these companies all needed to use online payment. If he did not have a payment platform under his control, not only would he increase the performance of his rival companies for no reason, but the security of his funds would also be a problem.

Another issue is about renewal. "Automatic deduction" is not very user-friendly, but for the company, it can at least earn about 20% of the users who originally only wanted to open a one-month membership.

It's just that this form is a bit damaging and can easily lead to users criticizing it.

"Boss, it's time to go to the show."

Xue Yining looked at her watch and found that the time was almost up, so she reminded Zhang Chen in time.

"Let's go."

The recording hall of "The Voice of China" is already full of people.

Backstage
The four mentor group champions of this year's "The Voice of China" are ready.

They are:
Princess Team, Liu Yifei
Zhang Guorong's team, Lin Junjie

Liu Huan Team, Yao Beina
Luo Dayou's team, Cyndi Wang

Other strong contestants, such as Yuan Yawei, Guan Zhe, Snake Group, Phoenix Legend, Zhang Jie and others, were blocked from the finals for various reasons.

The most crucial reason is that those who were eliminated are generally still relatively young.

Whether in terms of basic skills or psychological quality, they are still half a step behind the few who successfully advanced.

"Let's stick to the original plan. Shaohan and I will go on stage first, and then we'll hand the stage over to you guys."

Zhang Chen looked at the four nervous contestants and smiled.

Although he has never participated in any competition in his life.

But I participate in the live performance - the Spring Festival Gala every year.

I remember when he participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, when he finished his performance and returned to the backstage, he couldn't stop shaking all over, and he portrayed his nervousness to the fullest.

"Zhang Chen, who do you think will win?" The princess stood beside Zhang Chen and asked softly.

"Who?" Zhang Chen glanced at the four students who were preparing and said in a positive tone, "It's definitely not Xixi." "Why don't you think of your sister a little bit!" The princess complained, "But it's true. Among these four people, her talent is average. Even though she has studied longer than the other three, sometimes talent is so unreasonable."

"It's completely beyond my expectation that she could make it this far."

Zhang Chen really didn't expect Liu Yifei to get better results. If everyone still had sympathy points in the previous competitions.

Now that the competition system is equal, the quality of the songs is similar, and they are all new songs, and the number of fans supporting the other contestants has been as close as possible, Liu Yifei's probability of winning has basically dropped to zero.

"Teachers, let's test the equipment one last time. The live broadcast will begin in half an hour."

Just when Zhang Chen was chatting with several mentors, a member of the program team's supervisory group came in and gave a reminder.

There are quite a lot of equipment that singers need to check before their performances.

The first is the in-ear monitoring, which is needed to clearly hear the sound of the metronome, the live band performance, the band teacher's prompts, and your own singing.

Because the sound on the scene is relatively noisy and the space is closed, the sound from the speakers will hit the opposite wall and then the sound waves will return to the stage. At this time, the singer's ears will hear multiple sounds, causing the singer to go into the wrong beat or rush the beat.

The sound of the metronome can help singers find the beat, and there will usually be obvious prompts when the beat starts.

Tips from the live band teacher: sometimes unexpected situations may occur during a live band performance. There is usually a microphone in front of the band teacher so he can communicate with the band and singers in a timely manner. Of course, the singers can usually only listen.

Sometimes the band teacher will do some activities or chat during the performance. This is one of the reasons why singers suddenly take off their in-ear monitors at some concerts.

Some bands started chatting, it was so lively!
In other preparations, each singer will have a dedicated microphone for this performance, and each microphone will have a separate channel on the mixing console.

Because each singer's timbre, volume, and habits are different, they will adjust the equipment to achieve the most perfect effect on the spot during rehearsal based on actual conditions.

It sounds complicated, but the most important thing is to fine-tune the high, medium and low sound wave bands of the human voice, as well as the amount of mixing.

Sometimes people say that someone's singing comes with their own mix. That's because professional sound control engineers will unconsciously push a little of the mix to the microphone in the singer's hand when each singer or guest is about to sing.

There are people who have a real singing voice that comes with mixed sound, but they are extremely rare.

So in general, a good performance by a singer is not just about the few minutes on stage, but also requires the cooperation of many people in the entire scene to achieve the perfect effect.

And smart singers will not offend the staff behind the scenes.

If a singer who thinks highly of himself offends the tuner, he can turn the singer's performance on the stage into a car accident scene, no matter how talented you are, it is just so unreasonable.

Therefore, after a singer finishes singing, the first people he or she usually thanks are the band teacher and others.

There is also a bit of gratitude for not killing me in this.

After everyone checked their equipment and found nothing wrong, the show began the countdown.

2003年9月27日20：00，全国瞩目的《华国好声音》巅峰之夜

Officially launched!
"Dear friends at the scene and all the viewers in front of the TV, welcome to watch the live broadcast of "The Voice of China" - Peak Night hosted by Morning Light Entertainment and organized by Morning Light Music and Tomato TV.

As the first music talent show in China and even the world, it has attracted the attention and love of many friends across the country as soon as it was broadcast.

After nearly two months of fierce competition, each of the four mentor teams has produced a champion. They will sing with their respective mentors tonight and each bring a song composed by Zhang Chen to everyone.

At the same time, the proceeds from the new songs sung by these singers will be donated to major art colleges across the country in the name of the program team and the singers themselves, and the necessary musical instruments for music classes will be provided to kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools and high schools.

Here, I would like to thank once again the initiator of this program, Mr. Zhang Chen, Chairman of the Morning Light Group and a world pop music leader! "

As soon as Teacher He came on stage, he began to make announcements at a very fast speed but with extremely clear pronunciation, trying his best to let all the audience at the scene and in front of the TV understand the intentions of the program team.

At the same time, with the fast-paced music as the background, the tense atmosphere on the scene was brought to a climax.

“This competition is divided into four rounds. The one who receives the most SMS votes from the audience in the first two rounds will directly enter the fourth round, and the one who receives the least will be eliminated.

The remaining two will enter the third round of singing, and one will enter the fourth round also determined by SMS voting results.

After the last round of singing, the live audience and 99 media judges voted together. The audience's SMS votes were converted into percentages and combined with the media's support votes to determine the final champion.

The SMS voting channel for this time is: 870910840825. Edit the student's name and send it to 870910840825 to cast a vote for the student you support. "

"Now, I declare that the peak night of The Voice of China has officially begun!
Let us give the warmest applause to welcome two additional guests, Zhang Chen and Zhang Shaohan, to perform some songs for us."

　I'm going out to get a passport and will come back to continue coding in the afternoon
