July 10, 6:10 pm, backstage in the Beijing Satellite TV studio hall.
In 1 hour and 20 minutes, Beijing Satellite TV's first entertainment reality talent show "Singing China" and the qualifying rounds of the Beijing Division will be broadcast live in the large studio.
Beijing Satellite TV is one of the first TV stations in China to be launched on the satellite. Therefore, it has a wide and good influence in China and Asia. Relying on the huge advantages of local TV stations in the capital, its comprehensive strength has always been at the forefront of major TV stations.
However, in the past five years, with the increasing popularity of variety entertainment programs, local satellite TVs such as Hunan Satellite TV, Donghai Satellite TV, Jiangning Satellite TV, etc. have risen rapidly. While taking up a large amount of market share, they have also seriously compressed the living space of Beijing Satellite TV.
Especially Shonan Satellite TV, which is famous for its variety show production. Since 2008, Shonan Satellite TV has successively launched popular talent competitions such as "Super Girl", "Super Boy", and "National New Idol", which have not only achieved great success, but also
It has launched a number of well-known idol stars and ranks first among all satellite TV channels in ratings!
What makes Beijing Satellite TV the most shameless is that all audition programs of Xiangnan Satellite TV will set up sub-divisions in Beijing. Every audition is attended by thousands of people, and the scene is extremely lively and truly spectacular.
Their own territory has become a place for competitors to steal the show, which is a slap in the face for Beijing Satellite TV!
What makes Beijing TV even more irritated is that newcomers such as Donghai TV and Jiangning TV also follow suit and treat the capital as a geomantic treasure, making their mouths full of oil.
Under such circumstances, Beijing Satellite TV, which has always been proud, finally could not bear the declining ratings year by year. After half a year of planning and preparation, it launched its own talent show for the first time - "Singing China"!
The ambitious Beijing Satellite TV even competed with Hunan Satellite TV's "The Most Powerful Singer".
For this program, Beijing Satellite TV also spent a lot of money. Not only did it remodel the studio hall, but also expanded the backstage. It is much more spacious and comfortable than the original one, and can accommodate hundreds of contestants and staff.
There are only 35 players participating in the first qualifying match of the Beijing Division tonight. Including the members of the family and friends group who are on hand to support the competition, there are only about a hundred people.
Lu Chen is one of the 35 players in the first qualifying round, and one of the very few players who does not have a group of relatives and friends.
It’s not that he doesn’t have friends in the capital, but classmate Li Feiyu wants to help him broadcast the game live on the Internet, and Sister Na and Qin Hanyang are very busy due to the recent popularity of the band Hesitation, and they have stopped performing in the Wangyoucao Bar for a long time.
So Lu Chen didn't bother them.
As for other people, most of them are not suitable, such as Ye Zitong. Although the two have a good impression of each other, they have not established a real relationship. They can't drag her to the scene and appear in front of the whole country, right?
Lu Chen simply brought a guitar and killed him single-handedly.
Relatively speaking, among the 35 players, Lu Chen's mentality was the most relaxed and peaceful. While he was leaning on the bench to rest and wait, he also had time to observe the others.
Sitting on Lu Chen's right was an unshaven middle-aged man with messy hair, a personalized T-shirt and frayed jeans, dressed in a typical street singer style, holding a guitar and bowing his head in deep thought.
In front of him was a band. The five members were all young, energetic and energetic. They talked, laughed and encouraged each other. Their expressions were excited and full of expectations for participating in the talent show.
One row further forward, the TV station staff and cameraman were interviewing a player.
All contestants must pre-record a short video, which is the so-called VCR. The content of the video mainly introduces their situation. When it is officially broadcast, the director will select several excerpts and intersperse them in the live broadcast.
Although it is said to be a live broadcast, it is not actually broadcast in real time. The time difference between recording and broadcasting is about 1 hour.
The advantage of this is that it facilitates the control, processing and editing of program content, and is less prone to broadcast accidents. It is already very fast now. In the past, talent shows were often produced a few days or even a week in advance, and then they were broadcasted on the TV station.
It's called a live broadcast.
It’s just a monkey trick!
Although it is said that the production effect is the best if it is recorded and broadcast a few days in advance, the majority of TV viewers are not fools. What they want to see is more real and direct content of the talent show, and they are increasingly disgusted with programmed and routine programs.
The formal process has led to huge changes in the live broadcast of the draft.
The qualifying rounds and semi-finals were advanced by an hour, and the knockout and finals only lasted 30 minutes at most.
There is even a real live broadcast!
Of course, this is a big test for any TV station. Without a strong enough strength and a good enough behind-the-scenes team, it is impossible to play this kind of live reality talent show.
The live VCR belonging to Lu Chen has been recorded just now and it only took a few minutes.
It was originally a very simple thing, but this handsome man wearing glasses seemed very nervous when facing the camera and microphone. He stuttered and couldn't express his words clearly, making the relatives and friends next to him anxious for him.
But compared to another female player sitting four or five meters away from Lu Chen's left, he was doing pretty well. This 18 or 19-year-old girl was so nervous that she cried, but she didn't dare to cry loudly and just lowered her head.
Sobbing.
She was also surrounded by two best friends, but they obviously didn't know how to comfort and speak. After a long time of persuasion and encouragement, it had no effect, and she was a little at a loss.
When seeing other players nearby, most of them find it funny, and some even show ridicule.
How can you still dare to perform on stage if your mental quality is so poor?
Lu Chen listened to what they said a lot, and finally understood. It turned out that this female player was probably very unlucky. She had a hard time on such an important day. As a result, her mood was seriously affected. Moreover, the person who was recording the VCR in front of
He didn't perform very well at the time.
All kinds of emotions accumulated, and he collapsed before even taking the stage.
Originally, the role of the family and friends group, in addition to adding interest to the program, was mainly to support and encourage the contestants on site.
However, these two teammates are really unqualified!
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen stood up and walked over, walking in front of the other party.
He took out a bottle of mint chewing gum from his pocket, handed it to the crying girl, and said, "Don't be too nervous. Give me some chewing gum. Chew it twice and you will feel better."
The girl and her companions raised their heads in surprise.
Lu Chen smiled slightly, reached out and opened the bottle cap, and said, "Try it!"
Scientific research has shown that the sincere and friendly smile of a handsome man or beautiful woman can often resolve people's nervousness, fear, anxiety and uneasiness. It is equivalent to a morale-boosting BUFF from a cowherd, and can effectively stimulate the secretion of dopamine hormones and hormones!
Although the above content was pure nonsense, Lu Chen's handsome and warm smile did make the girl player relax. She embarrassedly wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and a shy blush appeared on her pretty face.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then raised her rosy little hand and said, "Thank you..."
Her voice is very soft and sweet, it sounds like a just melted toffee, holding it in your mouth is refreshing.
Lu Chen poured a piece of chewing gum into her palm.
This is the privilege of handsome men. If Lu Chen were a fat, wretched man, or a skinny otaku, probably no girl would be willing to ask for any candy he handed over.
Lu Chen asked her companion: "Which university are you from?"
Being so young and immature, and having no relatives by his side, he is most likely a student from out of town studying in Beijing.
The other party replied enthusiastically: "We are both from the School of Foreign Languages. We are accompanying Xiao Chu to participate in the competition. Handsome, are you also a contestant? Where did you study?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "I am also a player. I just graduated from Jianghai University this year."
"It turns out he's a graduating senior!"
The other party's eyes lit up and he immediately pushed the girl next to him: "Xiaochu, ask the senior for his contact information. Maybe you two can make it to the finals!"
In fact, she wanted it very much but was too embarrassed to say it directly.
Lu Chen exchanged flight signals with the three of them with a smile and became friends with each other.
He also learned the name of this shy girl.
Mu Xiaochu.
