"The luxury singing program "The Voice of China" with a production cost of up to HK$1 million per episode was launched after more than two months of careful production. The ratings of the first episode reached a record high of 61 points, far exceeding that of "The Voice of China" in that episode.
"Happy Tonight". It is reported that the advertising fee for the second episode of "The Voice of China" has increased five times, making it the most expensive variety show in history."

"Never before has a program caused such a sensation. After the first episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, the whole of Hong Kong was discussing the tutors and singers on the show the next day. Among the four tutors, Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni are both famous in Hong Kong.
She is a top-tier female singer, and it is rare for her to be able to put down her body and be funny in the show. After the broadcast of "The Voice of China", Lin Zixiang and Su Rui have already seen their fame and worth rise. Su Rui was not very popular in Hong Kong.
Welcome, but now the appearance fee is almost close to Alan Tam..."

"How can entertainment programs be educational? "The Voice of China" has achieved this. It inspires young people to strive for their dreams. It is a program with a strong sense of social responsibility. Phoenix TV is also a humanistic and positive TV station.

"Phoenix TV's programs are always generous. The stage of "The Voice of China" is even far greater than that of "Miss Hong Kong Contest". The lighting and sound are completely the specifications of a small concert. It is reported that although the first episode of "The Voice of China" received
The rate has skyrocketed, but one episode of the program lost 500,000 yuan. However, due to the increase in advertising fees, the second episode of "The Voice of China" will achieve excess profits."

"According to the investigation of this newspaper, Zhang Weijian, a popular contestant in the first episode of "The Voice of China", participated in the Chinese Rookie Singing Grand Prix held by Huaxing Records a few months ago, but ended up in the top 30. Many people know that the current rising star Anita Mui
It was Kang Jianfei who had a keen eye for pearls and poached her after she was eliminated from the Chinese Singing Rookie Grand Prix. Could it be that Zhang Weijian would become the second Anita Mui? China Star Records and TVB always leave pearls behind."
——"Entertainment Weekly"
"According to a former teacher of a singer surnamed Zhang, the singer surnamed Zhang's homework scores were very bad and it was impossible for him to be admitted to college. Moreover, the singer surnamed Zhang was very aggressive and often bullied his classmates in school... The singer surnamed Zhang once even
He joined the school football team, but was fired by the coach because he played too poorly. He is a bad person who can't do anything."
——"Hong Kong Morning Post"
After the first episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, Hong Kong instantly set off a wave of good voices.
At this time, the first round of Sino-British negotiations ended, and the good news made Hong Kong's economy pick up. People were not as worried as they were in the previous two months. The four mentors of "The Voice of China" are all big singers with many fans. With the help of the TV station, they
After more than a month of publicity and the attractiveness of the four mentors, coupled with the novel competition mode and tear point attack, the ratings of the first episode were completely better than "Happy Tonight", which has the highest ratings in the past ten years.
When the streets and alleys were discussing "The Voice of China", the media finally joined in the fun and covered the show with overwhelming coverage.
Amid the applause, there are also opposite criticisms, such as saying that "The Voice of China" is a good Chinese actor, the singer is not singing but acting, etc.
The most outrageous thing is the Xiangjiang Morning Post. This newspaper seems to be at odds with Phoenix TV and took the opportunity to come out and throw dirty water on Zhang Weijian.
Huang Xizhao was not idle this time. After receiving the phone instructions from Kang Jianfei, he immediately sent people to collect signature certificates from Zhang Weijian's former teachers and classmates, and then prepared to take "Hong Kong Morning Post" to court and demand compensation from "The Voice of China"
The program team and Zhang Weijian himself received a total of HK$6 million.
When answering reporters' questions, Huang Xizhao said: "Some newspapers have no professional bottom line at all, and they talk nonsense and slander wantonly. Although the "Hong Kong Morning Post" did not name names, the 'Singer Surnamed Zhang' is obviously talking about Zhang Weijian. Which is intolerable?
, this newspaper has repeatedly provoked for the sake of sales, and Phoenix TV will resort to legal means to resolve it. Even if the lawsuit cannot be won, Phoenix TV will continue to fight. If it cannot win in one year, it will fight for three to five years.
I would like to see if the money earned by "Hong Kong Morning Post" is enough to cover the hundreds of millions in legal fees!"
As soon as Huang Xizhao's words came out, all colleagues knew that "Hong Kong Morning Post" was finished.
A newspaper can indeed increase sales by spreading rumors. When the target is not clearly identified, it is difficult for the person being slandered to win a lawsuit. Not only will it be impossible to win, but the lawsuit will also increase the newspaper's exposure, which will make the newspaper
Newspaper sales are better.
But if the victim is determined to lose both sides and fight a long-lasting lawsuit, a large newspaper can still afford it. The money a tabloid like the "Hong Kong Morning Post" makes every year cannot afford the high legal fees that will never end.
Sometimes you can't give in. The more you give in, the more the other party will push you. The only wise choice is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Just like in the Taiwanese television industry after the 1990s, many famous speakers talk nonsense on programs, spread rumors, slander or expose other celebrities and companies to attract attention and increase ratings.
However, some companies and celebrities have been included on Taiwan TV stations' list of people prohibited from criticizing them.
Why?
Because as long as you speak ill of these people and companies on the show, the other party will immediately send a lawyer's letter asking for an apology. If you don't apologize, they will take you to court. If things go on like this, the TV stations and celebrities will become afraid and will not dare to speak against them anymore.
of bad words.
The same is true for "Hong Kong Morning Post". This newspaper, with an average sales volume of only a few thousand copies, simply did not have the courage to fight with the Phoenix TV station. It couldn't hold on even before the lawsuit started, and took the initiative to seek a private settlement with the Phoenix TV station.
After "friendly negotiations" between the two parties, "Hong Kong Morning Post" agreed to compensate the "Voice of China" program team 100,000 yuan and Zhang Weijian 30,000 yuan for reputational damage, published an apology announcement on the front page for a week, and privately promised not to report on Phoenix in the future.
Unfavorable news about Taiwan.
Zhang Weijian got 30,000 yuan for nothing and was so happy. After the show was broadcast, as the most popular singer in the first episode, there were more than 20 nightclubs and bars offering him a high price to go there.
Resident singing.
Not only that, there is even a record company that wants to secretly sign Zhang Weijian and promises to start releasing records immediately after signing the contract.
Of course Zhang Weijian is not a fool. The recording of "The Voice of China" has not been finished yet, and the good show is still to come. He will not be stupid enough to sign with other companies halfway. What's more, the program team has communicated with him that he can not only sign with Fengxing Records
, and also have the opportunity to join Phoenix TV as an actor.
The second issue of "The Voice of China" will soon come. The popular singer in this issue is Lu Fang. In a parallel space, this person will be the champion of next year's Rookie Singer Grand Prix. In the 1980s, he was selected by the record company together with Jacky Cheung.
Focus on training, and has always been Jacky Cheung's best friend, and later fell in love with Zheng Yuling for more than ten years.
After Lu Fang came on the stage, he did not use any pathos and only relied on his singing skills to win applause from the audience and competition from the four instructors.
By the way, the second episode of "The Voice of China" was also recorded at the Taiping Theater. There were more than 1,800 people in the audience, all of whom paid several times the ticket price of the movie. The scale was already equivalent to a second-tier singer's solo performance.
Got it.
When the second episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, not many people on the streets of Hong Kong saw it. It had already achieved the same effect as when "Chu Liuxiang" was popular. It can definitely be called a crowd. The second episode of "The Voice of China"
The data of "The Voice" were quickly calculated and reached a terrifying 73 ratings.
It was not just a sensation in Hong Kong, because there are also Phoenix TV viewers in Southeast Asia and Macau. After the second episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, Nanyang and Macau also had a strong response. Many people in Nanyang and Macau who like to sing called or wrote
I wrote to Phoenix TV and asked if overseas audiences could sign up. I was even more impulsive and went directly to Hong Kong by boat and plane.
The media in Nanyang and Macau could no longer hold back and began to report extensively on the program "The Voice of China". Local TV stations also sought to purchase the rights to rebroadcast "The Voice of China".
Some TV stations have also begun to copy "The Voice of China". For example, Malaysia's national TV station came to "The Voice of Stars and Horses", but the ratings were ugly after it was produced. The reason is very simple. The stage of the copycat program is too small and the lighting is poor.
The audio equipment is too poor, the contestants are not trained, and the number of cameras is only one-third of that of "The Voice of China". Audiences who are accustomed to the sophisticated production of "The Voice of China" are not interested in cheap copycat programs at all.
When preparations for "The Voice of China" just started, many people in Phoenix TV secretly mocked Kang Jianfei for having too much money to spend. Especially after the first episode of the show lost more than 500,000 yuan, this argument became even more popular.
Now more than a dozen TV stations in Nanyang and Macau have come to buy the rights to rebroadcast. After earning huge advertising fees, Phoenix TV Station once again made a huge profit from rebroadcasting, and the people who said weird things disappeared immediately.
On the other hand, there was no report on this in Taiwan, perhaps because Phoenix TV has been included on the list of leftist tendencies by the Taiwan Information Bureau.
…
Compared to the jubilation on the Phoenix stage, Fang Yihua often loses her temper nervously.
In fact, in terms of overall ratings, Phoenix TV is still slightly inferior to TVB, with the two ratings sharing ratio being 4.6 to 5.4.
Because "The Voice of China" is broadcast once a week, while TVB's "Happy Tonight" is broadcast six times a week, the overall advantage in ratings is still that of the wireless station.
What makes Fang Yihua anxious is that due to the popularity of "The Voice of China" and "60 Minutes", some loyal viewers of TVB variety shows are gradually losing to Phoenix TV.
In the office of the variety show production department of TVB, Fang Yihua slapped the table and shouted: "I want a new show, a new show that can beat "The Voice of China", find a way for me right away!"
All the TV station employees looked at each other, and no one spoke. Who can guarantee that the new program he planned can surpass "The Voice of China"?rt
