Rebirth: I Want to Surf

The last day of July.

In the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and a nanny car drove into the Jingtai compound. As soon as the car door opened, an unpopular singer with short hair and a petite figure stepped out.

Stefanie Sun!

She is 33 years old this year, still youthful and energetic. She led several members of the team into the building to record the second issue of "The Voice of China".

After entering the new century, the music scene in Hong Kong declined rapidly, and the mainland was half-dead. Fortunately, a group of Chinese singers emerged in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia to take over. Ten years of life.

Needless to say, Jay Chou has won numerous awards, but the biggest regret in his life is that he did not win the Best Newcomer Award at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

The rookie award, you can only get it once, after that it will be gone.

Those who were shortlisted back then were Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, Penny Dai, Fan Weiqi, and Lin Fan, and Stefanie Sun won the award in the end.

Stefanie Sun just got married in the first half of the year, and will have a baby next year. Then she reduced her performances and gradually became an "unpopular singer". Later generations became inexplicably popular as "AI Stefanie Sun".

"Hello, Teacher Liu Huan!"

"Hello, Teacher Han Hong!"

"Brother Harling!"

Entering the lounge, Stefanie Sun hurriedly greeted them. These four are the mentors of "The Voice of China".

The director took today's schedule and explained to everyone: "The first episode has been edited, and the company called back, saying that the players are not amazing enough and the atmosphere is not enough..."

"We have to make up the recording, don't we?"

"No, no, our process today will be a bit longer, and then we can choose some shots to make up for the first issue. It's just that the four teachers have to work hard!"

The four of them were polite, and Han Hong was also very polite about things like this.

Because the agreement has been signed, we have to follow through, and 99 gives too much, the budget for the first season of "The Voice of China" is as high as 100 million.

Most of the time, money can smooth out all contradictions.

After staying for a while, I put on my makeup and entered the studio.

There is a semi-circular stage in the middle, facing four red chairs, with auditoriums on both sides and behind. The copyright owner of "The Voice of Holland" is very strict. For example, the style of this chair must be in accordance with the original version.

The four of them sat up, tapped the buttons one by one to test whether they were easy to use, and then turned around.

Stefanie Sun turned her back to the stage and secretly took a sip of water, knowing that this was a long recording. She debuted in Taiwan and has been baptized in countless variety shows, and she is as well versed in it as Yu Chengqing.

After recording a scene, I already understood what effect the program group wanted.

Not only the performance of the contestants, but also the gags between the mentors. She is the youngest and quickly found her role: a coquettish and cute snatcher.

The seating order is: Yu Chengqing, Han Hong, Liu Huan, Stefanie Sun.

One man, one woman, one man and one woman, Harlem Yu took on part of the work of the host and was responsible for controlling the field. The official recording started, Stefanie Sun huddled in a large chair, she was already petite, and Liu Huan was next to her, the contrast was obvious.

Each issue of "The Voice of China" lasts more than an hour, but the recording may be more than ten hours, or even twenty hours.

The level of contestants varies, and the program team needs to find a large number of people to enrich the foundation, and then select the best from among them. So most of the time, the tutor endured those bad voices, and finally met someone who sang well, and the spirit was naturally lifted, and it was not entirely a fake.

In this way, the sky quickly became dark.

The contestants were like passing through a sieve, going up one by one and coming down one by one. The atmosphere in the studio was anxious, and the instructor was exhausted physically and mentally.

"Crack!"

"Take a break for 20 minutes!"

"Teachers, hold on, there are still seven groups of contestants and it will be over."

Stefanie Sun's face collapsed, there are still seven groups, so it will be recorded until early in the morning! She went to the bathroom, came back to touch up her makeup, drink water, and the assistant came over with a phone.

"There is an impromptu banquet tomorrow!"

"Who is it?"

"The company behind the show, the wife of the chairman of 99 Group."

"Madam Chairman?"

Stefanie Sun was taken aback, she had participated in many commercial activities, and this was the first time for Madam, she wondered, "Why, why did she want to see me?"

"I said I like your song. The company hopes that you can participate in your Meizu event next month. Meizu also belongs to them."

"Oh, let's go then!"

Of course she had to say yes.

Those who work in the entertainment industry are inseparable from the rich and powerful. It is the artist's luck to meet someone who is polite and respectful.

The most famous one is Teacher Chen.

Around 2003, when the daughter of a high-ranking official in Shenzhen wanted to make a movie, she asked her favorite teacher Chen to be the leading actor.

"Can you star in a love movie with me? I will invest 20 million!"

"Ugly reject! Get out, don't act!"

"Do you know who my father is?"

"Wow, this script is pretty good too..."

The film is called "Seven Hours of Time Difference". After its release, the official issued a document requesting that "junior high school students arrange to buy tickets at their own expense to watch this educational film during class time."

In the end, the national box office was 1 million, and Shenzhen contributed 600,000.

…………

After the break, continue recording.

The contestants were still unremarkable, and the four of them were drowsy, not even thinking about turning around. Although the program has a script, it has to be developed according to the on-site reaction in general, and cannot be forced.

Backstage.

Liu Xijun sent Huang Ling to play.

The two became super girls at the same time, entered the company at the same time, and lived in the same dormitory, so they naturally became good friends. Liu Xijun straightened Huang Ling's clothes and said, "Go up and sing well, don't be careless."

"I've always been careless, this is my style!"

"Your contract with the company is about to expire. If this continues, who will dare to take you? This is the last chance, you have to seize it!"

Liu Xijun hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and said: "Or, you don't want to be popular?"

"..."

Facing her good friend, Huang Ling couldn't say anything to raise the issue, she shrugged her shoulders: "Then I'll sing well!"

"Hurry up, it's time to play!"

Amidst the staff's greetings, Huang Ling waved to Liu Xijun and walked onto the stage unsteadily.

"The Voice of China" has a link, and the relatives and friends who will accompany you will watch the show and react live. But Liu Xijun couldn't show up, so she would take away the host's role if she showed up.

In her opinion, Huang Lingchao is capable, but a little crazy.

...

2:00.

Stefanie Sun walked out of the building wearily, said goodbye to Liu Huan and the others, and got into the nanny car.

After tossing and tossing for more than ten hours, I almost collapsed from sitting. Fortunately, there was a little surprise at the end, as if a monster suddenly jumped out of the crowd.

The voice is so coquettish, so soft, so charming!

She tried all means to snatch this person, but unfortunately lost to Yu Chengqing.

"Go back to the hotel, I'm dying, I just want to take a shower and sleep."

"You can only sleep for four hours. You have an interview tomorrow morning and a dinner at noon."

"Ouch!"

Stefanie Sun threw herself on the chair, feeling hopeless.

She will stay in the mainland for a while this time. Apart from her good voice, she will also participate in the press conference of Meizu's new mobile phone and sing "Encounter" live.

Although I don't know why I chose this old song, but I will sing it if I give the money.

(no more...)
