The Voice of China program team.

In the conference room.

The group was engaged in a heated discussion.

"Brother Jin, I think the Red Rose Band's choice of guest performer is a bit too frivolous!"

"The purpose of this guest performance segment is to find some famous singers and ride on their popularity, but the Red Rose Band actually used the lead singer Lin Xiamo's mother as a guest performer. What kind of nonsense is this!"

"I also think it's a bit of a joke. Although Lin Xiamo's mother was a singer in a performing arts troupe, she had no fame whatsoever, and her online presence was less than that of a minor internet celebrity!"

"Let's replace them. We can arrange it directly. There's no need for this formality in the first place!"

The crowd started discussing amongst themselves.

The focus was on the choice of guest performers for the Red Rose Band.

Two hours ago.

The top eight contestants announced their guest performers. Apart from the Red Rose Band, the other seven groups of contestants all found well-known singers to perform with them.

In comparison, the Red Rose Band's choice seems somewhat out of place.

"Ya-Xin, what do you think?"

When the chief director, Jin Zhe, spoke, he looked at Sun Yaxin, who was in charge of artist coordination.

The other party is quite experienced in this area.

"I think it's pretty good."

Sun Yaxin said calmly.

"what?"

"This is actually quite good."

"Ya-Xin, are you out of your mind?"

Everyone was shocked to see that Sun Yaxin held this view, and they all looked at her with puzzled eyes.

Jin Zhe tapped the conference table with his finger: "Tell me, what's good about it?"

"A mother and daughter on the same stage—I think this gimmick is more effective than inviting any A-list celebrity!"

"Besides, Lin Xiamo is already the most popular contestant, so collaborating with ordinary celebrities won't really help generate any traffic."

"But a mother and daughter appearing on the same stage is a great marketing point, and it might have an unexpected effect."

“Meimei knows more about publicity and marketing.”

Sun Yaxin pointed to Ji Meimei, the program's publicity director, who was sitting to her right.

"Yes, Yaxin is right!"

"Actually, the guest performance segment is common in many music programs, so it's not very innovative anymore."

"Unless we can invite top celebrities to help increase the show's attention and ratings, it won't actually help much."

"The Red Rose Band's selection process is quite novel and has given us a new perspective."

"Therefore, I agree!"

"I think it's worth a try!"

Ji Meimei immediately expressed her opinion.

Jin Zhe nodded: "Then it's settled."

"Ya-Xin, you guys need to contact the artist and finalize the contract as soon as possible!"

As the chief director of "Voice of China", Jin Zhe is quite bold in his personnel choices, and the core members of the program team are generally young.

He felt that young people were more creative.

He accepted the decision from the beginning that the Red Rose Band would choose Lin Xiamo's mother as their guest performer.

Sun Yaxin and Ji Meimei's words helped him make up his mind.

Seeing that Jin Zhe had made this decision, some of those who had opposed it shook their heads, while others whispered complaints to their companions.

"These contestants are really something else, they can get anyone here!"

"This time it was the contestant's mother, next time could the contestant's grandparents come too!"

"Let's rename our program 'Sunset Glow'!"

In a large program like "Voice of China," disagreements are very common.

Therefore, it still puts the decision-making ability of the chief director, Jin Zhe, to the test.

Wednesday.

Recording scene of the quarterfinals of "Voice of China".

The four mentors each received today's song list. (This is for the guest performance competition.)

Red Rose Band & Chen Qingzhu: "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style"

Apart from Yang Nian, the other three mentors were somewhat bewildered when they saw the song that the Red Rose Band was going to perform.

"Yanbin, have you heard that song by the Red Rose Band?"

Li Kun held up the playlist and asked Guo Yanbin, who was sitting next to him.

"No."

"It should be an original song!"

Guo Yanbin stroked his chin and guessed that the four mentors only knew the songs their team members were going to sing.

They only found out about the song choices of other teams' players after receiving the song list.

"Brother Dawei, have you heard of 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend'?"

Li Kun then asked Zhou Dawei, the oldest of the four mentors.

"no!"

"It should be an original work!"

Zhou Dawei spoke with great conviction. Although he is from Singapore, he has long been involved in the Chinese music scene and can be considered a veritable encyclopedia of Chinese music.

A song that even he hasn't heard of is most likely an original.

"Niannian, was the song in the Red Rose duet competition an original composition?"

At this moment, Yang Nian arrived at the mentor's seat.

Li Kun quickly asked.

"Yes, it's original."

Yang Nian nodded. As the mentor of the Red Rose Band, she naturally knew the origin of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" immediately.

As her mentor, she was still helping the Red Rose Band rehearse yesterday.

When she learned that the Red Rose Band was going to perform an original song called "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," her reaction was similar to that of Li Kun and Guo Yanbin.

This was a competition for the top eight contestants to perform with their guest singers. The Red Rose Band not only chose Chen Qingzhu, who was not famous, as their guest singer, but also chose an original song called "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style".

This is practically a sign of giving up.

The guest performers and the songs they were to sing were both unknown, making it difficult for the audience to connect with them.

In contrast, the other seven groups of singers, whether it was their guest performers or the songs they chose, were all familiar to the audience.

But after listening to the Red Rose Band and Chen Qingzhu's rendition of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style".

Yang Nian's thoughts changed involuntarily. Although the song was new, it was not a pop song in the traditional sense.

However, this song is too catchy. As a top-tier figure in the music industry, Yang Nian has her own judgment on the music market.

Songs with catchy, brainwashing potential, like "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend," are likely to generate some buzz.

However, whether it can gain the approval of the audience at the scene is another matter!
After all, this song doesn't quite match Lin Xiamo's personal image and temperament.

With all the mentors in place.

Recording has officially begun.

Round 1 of the quarterfinals!
A singing competition with guest performers.

The Red Roses were drawn as number five in their performance order.

"Next up, please welcome the Red Rose Band and their guest performer, Chen Qingzhu!"

"The song they're going to perform is called 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style'!"
The first four groups of contestants have finished their performances.

Finally, it was the Red Rose Band's turn to perform.

Accompanied by the host's announcement.

The stage lights also went out.

Meanwhile, the thousand "audience judges" present couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Who is Chen Qingzhu?

"Same question, I've never heard of it!"

"I've never heard of him, and I've never heard of his song either!"

"The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend? What kind of weird song title is that!"

"It's the quarterfinals now, is the Red Rose Band going to go for something abstract?"
