Chapter 252 251. The Voice of China opens with a bang

"This is the first variety show in Michael's life, do you understand? This is the first variety show he has ever taken on!"

"Didn't Michael Jackson appear on variety shows? I remember he appeared on quite a few."

"No, this is completely different. In the past, he was at most a temporary guest, but this time he is the assistant director, producer, and mentor."

"I don't care about assistant directors and producers. Mentor, do you understand what a mentor is? It means he will record a whole season of the show!"

"I feel so happy to be able to keep watching him on TV. This will be an unprecedented experience. I am almost crying with excitement. Thank you MGM and thank you Eric Cooper."

"Haha. Even if Michael Jackson sat there and said nothing, you would still orgasm, right?"

"Fuck, this guy is an Emmie fan, get out of here, son of a bitch!"

"Jenny, I like Jenny so much, that slap she gave was so cool, how is that bastard Justin doing now? Anyone know?"

"The two old men who were severely injured by him have woken up and have sued him. The trial will start in a month. It seems that he has not appeared in public for a long time."

"Would he dare to show up? I'm afraid he's trying every possible way to emigrate, or do what Polanski did."

"Hahaha, Fox is really unlucky. I really want to see what American Idol will look like after it's edited. Have you seen the trailer?"

"I watched it, multiple times, and there was no Justin in the trailer. The only ones who were there were Amy Aimée, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell."

"So, Fox cut all of Justin Timberlake's scenes? But can the show still be broadcast without him? It will definitely be a mess."

"To be honest, I actually like Simon Cowell. Although he has a sharp tongue, it's quite enjoyable to watch him scold people. Of course, Amy Aimée and Randy Jackson should be swept into the trash."

"Who cares? I have to watch The Voice. I've already got the Lionheart membership in advance. I got it for free by clicking the "Like" button."

"I envy those who have many Facebook friends. I can only buy at half price, but it only costs $7.5 to watch my Mai. It's totally worth it."

"I like Celine Dion too. I wonder if she can sing 'My Heart Will Go On'."

"I say you shouldn't just focus on The Voice. Lionheart's original dramas are also great. It's Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey's first American drama. Didn't you see the trailer for House of Cards? I feel like this drama is going to be a hit!"

"There are also a lot of Japanese anime. MGM is really awesome. They made a big deal without even realizing it. Eric Cooper is my favorite."

"I agree, Eric Cooper, I really like him!"

“I agree!”

Before Lionheart went online, online discussion had already exploded, especially among young people, causing a frenzy.

Facebook now has over 70 million registered users, and about 60 million permanent active users. The current total population of the United States is only about 290 million, which is about 1/4.

Judging from the current market environment, most young people have already joined, and a considerable number of adults have also joined, almost reaching the saturation line, so the current growth is very slow.

If my space can be eliminated, the number of registered users should see another surge, but we still have to find an opportunity.

Two months ago, Facebook began expanding into Mexico and Canada, but unfortunately the deal has not been concluded yet.

The British relaxed their stance very quickly, and the cooperation between MGM and Michael Dobbs became more and more pleasant. It didn't matter how much money was spent, as long as you got the job done.

Building on the solid foundation laid by Facebook, YouTube's registered users are also very impressive, having now exceeded 25 million and is growing rapidly.

Ever since Eric showed them a sample, the young people suddenly got the hang of it and made all kinds of videos.

The trend of shoulder shaking dance has just passed, and something called bubble dance has become popular.

It is also attracting celebrity singers to join the site, and the website is currently negotiating with major music companies, hoping to obtain their authorization.

In this way, while making videos, YouTube can also be built into the world's largest online music platform, preparing for the digital music model that will eventually come in the future.

With the support of the two big brothers, memberships of Lionheart were sold out as soon as it went online on Saturday.

Besides, there are four super popular mentors to support them. They have so many fans. Why not spend a few dollars to support your idols and watch some new dramas at the same time?

Silicon Valley.

"Boss, Boss, things are going well, things are going well, it's beyond our expectation!"

Seeing Eric arrive, Robert Millen walked up quickly with an excited look on his face to announce the good news.

Eric checked the time: "It's been exactly one hour. How many members have been reached?"

"Boss, you will be surprised. According to the data monitored by the backend, the number of our members has exceeded two million."

"OMG! Two million! This is unimaginable. Looking at the history of the global Internet development, no website has ever reached this number in an hour."

"I must admit that I underestimated myself. I thought it would be good to have 500,000. Oh my God, this really feels like a dream!"

Looking at Robert, who was so excited that he was a little incoherent, Eric patted him on the shoulder and told him to calm down.

"Only two million makes you so happy. Don't forget that Lionheart Network stands on the shoulders of Facebook and YouTube."

"I have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising, and with the current environment creating momentum, no other website has received as good treatment as Lionheart. Our goal is not just a small two million."

"Yes, yes, I'm just too excited." Robert Millen calmed down.

"Well, what is the composition of these two million members?"

Robert counted on his fingers, "First, there are about 150,000 free members who are doing activities. I don't understand why there are so many! I only have a few dozen friends on my Facebook account."

Carol smiled and looked at this middle-aged man who was obviously a bit of a stay-at-home in silence.

"Then there are low-level members, about 300,000 people, which is not a very high proportion. It seems that people don't like advertising."

"Standard members have the largest number of members, about 1.2 million, leaving about 350,000 premium members."

"I think many people may not understand the significance of Blu-ray quality, but once they have seen it, they will understand that it is a real pleasure."

Eric nodded with satisfaction: "The distribution of members is OK. As long as low-level members do not account for the majority, the website can achieve a virtuous cycle."

"Continue to monitor the data closely and don't forget what I arranged."

"Yes, I understand. Helen is in charge of the satisfaction survey. She is the best among us at dealing with people."

"Um."

He walked through the corridor to his office. He hadn't been there for a month, but the place was very clean.

"Boss, this Robert Millen is quite interesting. Apart from you, he is the most senior person in charge. He even pours the coffee himself. You can't sense any airs from him."

"Haha. Robert is a technical expert. He led the team to uncover the most important secrets of Lionheart Network. His social skills are indeed a bit lacking."

"I don't think it's a little bit worse. I found that the employees here don't say hello when they see you. At most, they nod and leave. It's completely different from MGM."

"Well, this is the working atmosphere of Lionheart Network. I actually like it very much. It is simple and efficient, and everyone has their own responsibilities."

After serving the coffee, Robert said hesitantly, "Boss, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Watching the two people leave, Carol opened the website boredly and clicked on "The Voice of America", which was currently the most discussed show.

MGM released six episodes at once, which is half a season. Carol glanced at the progress bar and saw that the first episode was one and a half hours long.

As the screen turns from dark to bright, a man in a casual suit stands there. Behind him is a huge hand statue holding a microphone and making a "yeah" gesture.

The man was James Corden, who had not yet risen and whose size had not yet expanded. Eric invited him to be the host.

Not only can he act, he can host and sing. Apart from his relatively immature experience, he is definitely a promising young talent.

It would be nice to give him a talk show or an in-car karaoke show in the future.

James Corden said: "This is a unique singing talent show because our primary focus is on singing ability."

The scene changed and suddenly became bright, with the camera focusing on four red chairs.

"Today, four of the most influential people in the music industry will be given the important mission of finding the most beautiful voices in America."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Their album sales total over 700 million, and they have countless fans in the United States and around the world. They have surpassed the label of singers and have become symbols of pop culture."

"Michael Jackson is the king of pop music in the world, with the best-selling albums in the world. His legend needs no introduction."

"Celine Dion, a super singer with a heavenly voice, 4 Grammy Awards, 10 World Music Awards, a musician praised by countries all over the world."

"Janet Jackson, the invincible singing and dancing queen, her album Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 is the only album in music history to produce Billboard Hot 100 singles for three consecutive years. It is also the only album in history to have 7 singles that all entered the top five of the singles chart."

"Jayz, the genius of gangsta rap and creator of the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, received a perfect score from The Source for his album Reasonable Doubt, and was hailed as the contemporary king of rap."

"These four superstars will work together to discover the fifth superstar. First, they will show everyone what the charm of a superstar is."

As the words fell, the lights dimmed and the camera turned to the center of the stage. A tall figure was standing there vaguely. Anyone familiar with the figure could recognize it at a glance. It was Celine Dion.

"Deep within each heart."

"there lies a magic spark."

"that lights the fire of our imagination."

"And since the dawn of man."

"the strength of just I can."

"has brought together people of all nations."

She sang "The Power of Dreams" with a light yet powerful voice. This song was the one she performed at the opening ceremony of the Atlanta Olympics.

It is also meaningful to use it as the opening here today, to encourage singers who are pursuing their dreams to believe in the power of dreams.

And this season has indeed achieved this. Although three of the top four were determined in advance, the three of them are indeed very strong.

Especially Katy Perry, the four mentors gave exactly the same evaluation on her singing skills, making her the undisputed champion! And Martian Bros. had extraordinary overall strength, and when he started singing and dancing, you couldn't take your eyes off him.

The only Taylor Swift is slightly inferior. She loses because she is too young, her voice is immature, and she is not as good as the other three in professional vocal training.

But it didn't matter, Eric liked her, and that was enough for her to break through the siege.

Add to that the fact that passerby Xilin has been shortlisted, and this just shows that we believe dreams can come true.

"Every woman, child and man."

"It's the moment that you think you can't."

"You'll discover that you can."

"Feel the flame forever."

As Celine Dion's singing was about to end, the background music gradually faded.

Suddenly, a dynamic and weird electronic music came in, and then the background music rose, and smoothly transitioned to the DJ playing music.

The audience who had just been applauding soon started shaking along. Jay suddenly appeared on the stage from somewhere, and his mouth started chattering like a machine gun.

He sang his famous song "I Just Wanna Love U", which made the atmosphere even more heated.

After performing for a while, Jayz looked to the left in surprise, only to see Michael standing there with his dancers.

He was dressed in a white suit, standing out among the dancers in black suits, and you couldn't take your eyes off him at first sight.

In the OH venue, the audience's cheers were about to blow the roof off, and the background music once again turned into Michael's "Smooth Criminal".

His body danced to the singing, and his joints seemed to be fixed with screws. Finally, a group of people came to the center of the stage by moonwalking.

Ouch! With Michael's signature scream, every one of their movements was perfectly timed.

When Michael and his dancers started the zombie walk, the music stopped abruptly as they took one step onto the ground.

The camera then turned to the right side of the stage, where Janet Jackson was standing there with her dancers.

Bang! A violent drum explosion, and Jenny's classic song "Rhythm Nation" sounded.

She danced the classic dance with the group of sisters behind her. As a female singer recognized as the best singer and dancer, Jenny's dance was full of movement and power, and her beat was not inferior to her brother's.

"With music by our side."

"To break the color lines."

“Let’s work together.”

"To improve our way of life."

With brisk dance steps, Jenny gradually jumped to the center of the stage.

When the brother and sister met, they started interacting with each other, and it seemed like it turned into a dispute between them.

Although the radio did not pick up what the two were saying, it was obvious at a glance that they were arguing.

Then the quarrel turned into a dance battle, and the two of them led their dance troupes to compete. The dazzling and wonderful dance steps made it difficult to know who to focus on.

Finally, with the reappearance of Celine Dion and JayZ, fireworks bloomed brilliantly on the stage and the opening show finally ended.

There were only two words left in everyone's mind - shock! (End of this chapter)
