Chapter 276 I am here to witness the beginning of an era
Xiao Ran and Huang Jie were both surprised. They had never expected to see Zhou Yue here!
Although the semi-finals of "The Voice of China" adopted the live broadcast mode, it did not expand the audience group. There were still 400 live audiences. According to this scale, Tianlai did not want to invite any important special guests.
At most, they would invite music critics like Huang Jie. For example, Xiao Ran took the initiative to call and express his desire to come to the scene, and asked the program team for an invitation letter.
Zhou Yue was someone who might not even make it to the finals, let alone the semifinals! As a result, he actually showed up at the semifinals. How could they not be surprised? "Teacher Zhou, why are you here?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou! I'm Huang Jie, a music critic and also your loyal fan!"
"I'm here to listen to music. Please sit down. Don't disturb others."
Zhou Yue greeted the two of them and sat down in his seat. The other people in the row looked at them enviously but did not dare to come forward to disturb them.
Huang Jie was so excited that he was a little restless. This time, thanks to Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran knew Zhou Yue, and he and Xiao Ran were also friends, so he followed Xiao Ran and talked to Zhou Yue. Otherwise, if it was just Huang Jie himself, he probably wouldn't dare to talk to Zhou Yue rashly.
The most important thing is that even if you talk to him, Zhou Yue may not remember who you are.
Xiao Ran's seat was next to Zhou Yue's, but there was an empty seat on the other side of Zhou Yue, with no one sitting there yet. However, Xiao Ran guessed that the production team might not have decided who to arrange to sit next to Zhou Yue, so they left the seat empty.
In fact, this is the position Zheng Hui reserved for himself.
"Teacher Zhou, the album you made last time, Bubbles, was of such great quality that it has already achieved platinum status just over a month after its release. Bubbles should be the best album of the year."
"In addition to Xia Yan's "Bubble" this year, there are several very good albums. As for the best album, it's too early to talk about it now." Zhou Yue chatted with Xiao Ran.
"Teacher Zhou, you are too modest. The quality of this album is obvious to all. Xia Yan's singing skills are also a plus. To be honest, good songs also need good singers to perform them to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, otherwise..." Xiao Ran shook his head slightly.
Zhou Yue also nodded: "Yes, the current music scene is too impetuous. There are fewer and fewer young singers who are willing to spend time and energy to hone their singing skills."
Nowadays, artists first become famous and then try to make up for their shortcomings. Therefore, many artists who debuted as singers actually have poor singing skills. They rely on the millions of sound engineers to remedy the situation later, but they always fail when they arrive at the scene. This makes professional composers and lyricists like Zhou Yue and Xiao Ran very helpless.
However, the entertainment industry is like this nowadays. More and more people want to enter the entertainment industry, and it is no longer possible for brokerage companies to select artists according to the old methods. They can only carry out a wave of marketing first, and continue to support those who are popular. For those who are not popular, or those who are popular but then become obscure, they can only say sorry and move on to the next one.
After all, there are only so many resources, and for an agency, making money is the most important thing.
Zhou Yue and Xiao Ran were chatting, Huang Jie occasionally interrupted with a word or two, but most of the time he just listened quietly. Then Zheng Hui came, and they exchanged greetings again.
At 7:30, the entrance was closed and the program team began the final debugging work. The staff also came on stage again to reiterate the voting rules and on-site requirements to all the audience. These are all routine matters.
At 7:59, as the countdown ended, the first professional host of the "The Voice of China" program walked onto the stage and bowed politely to the audience: "Good evening, dear audience members, dear audience members watching the program in front of the screen!
Welcome to the semi-finals of "The Voice of China", I am the host Tang He! Yes, "The Voice of China" finally hired a host, it is not easy for me to earn this money!"
The humorous opening remarks drew laughter from the audience. The program "Tian Lai" has always used guests as hosts. It cannot be said that their hosting skills are bad, but they are totally non-existent. The show relies entirely on popularity. Whenever there is any situation on the scene, these amateur hosts are always in a panic and at a loss.
But it also provides a lot of laughs and jokes for the show.
Tang He controlled the rhythm and introduced the voting rules for the semi-finals again to the audience watching the live broadcast. After introducing the relevant rules, the live broadcast camera swept to the front row of audiences. Whether it was Zhou Yue, Xiao Ran, Zheng Hui, Huang Jie and others, they all raised their heads and chests, smiled, and waved or nodded to the camera.
Tanghe didn't have a grand introduction, but the slowly sweeping shots said it all.
In the live broadcast barrage.
[Malig Peter: Am I dazzled? I seem to have seen a certain big guy? ]
[Yu Nu Xin Jing: You are not dazzled by the person in front, that is the big boss! I didn’t expect that big boss Zhou Yue would appear in the semi-finals of the show! How much money did Tianlai spend to invite him! ]
[Level 8 Gale: Which boss? I’m a newbie and I need some science advice. Can a kind-hearted elder brother or elder sister give me some science advice? ]
[I was very nervous the first time: Let me give you some basic information about the previous part! Zhou Yue is a well-deserved leader in the music composition industry. He has won almost all the national music composition awards. You can search online for details.
He is now in semi-retirement. He has only written songs and made albums for Xia Yan in the past two years. But the singles and albums he produced are all popular all over the country! Let’s not talk about the distant past. For example, Xia Yan’s album “Bubble” this year was produced by Zhou Yue. Now you know how awesome Zhou Yue is! 】
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This barrage is too long and has to be divided into several sections, but it is enough for people who don’t know Zhou Yue to have a preliminary understanding of Zhou Yue’s position in the industry.
But after learning about it, the question arises, if he is such a great person, how could he appear in the semi-finals of "The Voice of China"?
Netizens began to speculate, some said Zhou Yue came to support Liu Zhengyan, the two of them had a love-hate relationship back then, Liu Zhengyan also had a nickname like Little Zhou Yue. Others said Tianlai had spent a lot of money to invite him, after all, Zheng Hui was sitting next to Zhou Yue.
As more and more speculations emerged, the term #周越来了# began to be pushed to the top, and more and more people participated in it. Everyone was curious, why would someone who didn't even bother to attend the Golden Melody Awards appear in the semi-finals of a variety show? But only Zhou Yue himself knew, or Zheng Hui also vaguely guessed that Zhou Yue came for someone.
If Zhou Yue were asked to answer this question himself, he might say, "I am here to witness the beginning of an era."
