Chapter 501 "Voice of Dreams" Begins!
There is another reason why Wang Mo caused such a big stir on the Internet.
That is: "Journey to the West" is now sweeping the world. After various analysts came out, this fantasy novel that many people originally thought was just a fast food novel has been elevated to the highest status in the literary world.
Sharing both elegance and vulgarity!
Unparalleled!
Of course, the author Xilou's reputation has skyrocketed again.
Originally, when Xilou crushed the Troika in the short story world, he already had the demeanor of an international writer. Now that "Journey to the West" was released, he has almost reached the position of a literary giant.
And where is Xilou from?
China!
Wang Mo happens to be Chinese too!
In the past few decades, China has almost never produced top stars at the international level. At most, there are one or two movie stars working in Hollywood. However, the stars are not Chinese yet and have already joined other nationalities.
Therefore, not a single Chinese person with a well-established and well-established background can be famous internationally!
But now!
Xilou and Wang Mo came out of nowhere!
Become famous all over the world!
Not even simply famous.
West Tower, when the name first appeared internationally, it swept the fairy tale world with ten fairy tales. When everyone thought he was a fairy tale writer, he made a huge splash in the short story world. And before everyone had recovered, he suppressed the literary world with "Journey to the West", subverting countless people's views on fantasy novels, and for the first time completely displaying the Chinese mythology system in front of the world.
Wang Mo, known by the music industry as an unsurpassed contemporary music master, has single-handedly pushed China to the level of a hometown of music.
It can be said that both of them have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields internationally.
He was exclaimed by countless international media as one of the two heroes of the East!
When it comes to Xilou, the media will talk about Wang Mo.
When it comes to Wang Mo, the media cannot avoid Xilou.
Because they are all Chinese!
Therefore, after Wang Mo served as the mentor of "The Voice of Dreams", the popularity of "Journey to the West" and his own influence in the music industry will make the entire network excited.
new work time.
At the ABC Radio Headquarters, the program team of "The Sound of Dreams" were extremely excited.
It seems that inviting Wang Mo is really the right thing to do!
Although a bit expensive.
But worth it.
Just a poster, because of Wang Mo, brought huge popularity to the show. After the follow-up program is broadcast, there will definitely be more fans coming to Wang Mo.
Except director Kevin.
Kevin felt helpless: "Damn it, it's just a temporary popularity. If Wang Mo really only stayed for two episodes before being eliminated, then the program team will definitely suffer a loss this time."
After all, Wang Mo's appearance fee will not be discounted just because Wang Mo was eliminated early.
When Wang Mo was invited, it was a fixed price.
The price is this for one issue.
The price for the whole issue is also the same.
Because everyone on the show team was sure that Wang Mo could easily stay on the show until the end.
But heaven and earth failed to calculate that Wang Mo had found a group of team members who couldn't help him up the wall.
Therefore, Kevin can only swallow the bitterness in his heart.
Now he only hopes that after Wang Mo was eliminated early, the company will not get angry with him and let him pack up and get out.
…
Three days later, the recording of "The Sound of Dreams" officially began.
The entire recording process was kept confidential. Even though there were many reporters on site, it was still difficult to find useful information.
As for the members of the mentor team that the audience paid the most attention to, the reporters did not take pictures.
Everyone can only guess among themselves.
"I wonder if any genius will appear in this issue."
"Definitely, "The Sound of Dreams" never lacks surprises."
"Feeling Jessica."
"I saw Natalie went to Los Angeles a few days ago, probably to recruit Emily."
"And Brooke, a reporter photographed him meeting Zach."
The names mentioned by netizens are all slightly famous singers. Although the other party's reputation is not enough to reach the international third tier, he has already made a name for himself in the small circle, and his strength and appearance coexist.
In the discussion from the outside world.
Wang Mo and other instructors have already sat in the huge recording room.
Looking at the brightly lit and technologically advanced stage in front of him, even Wang Mo secretly admired it.
In terms of variety shows, North America has always been at the forefront of the international arena, far beyond what China can match.
Today's China, whether it is the creativity of variety shows, stage design, program systems, etc., most of them draw on the experience of Europe and the United States or Bangzi and Fuso countries, and rarely have anything of their own.
In North America, most variety shows are basically groundbreaking in their own right.
As Blue Star's No. 1 music variety show, the creativity of "Sound of Dreams" is certainly among the best in the industry.
"really not bad!"
Wang Mo couldn't help but admire.
At the same time, I was observing various creative details and felt that I could transfer it to domestic variety shows in the future.
beside.
Kristiff looked at Wang Mo and said with a smile: "Teacher Wang, you are very discerning. The success of "The Voice of Dreams" is not only due to its excellent competition format, but also because its stage and lighting design are also top-notch in the world. Moreover, the show never follows the rules, and every stage will be innovative to the greatest extent while maintaining its own style, so it can maintain its popularity for seven years. "
Natalie also sighed: "I heard that the program team will invest tens of millions of dollars every year just for stage lighting, sound, and space design! This alone far exceeds the total investment of other variety shows. Of course, the benefits are also huge. For example, the advertising fee of this issue's title sponsor is as high as 328 million US dollars!"
Fuck!
Wang Mo was shocked.
Just a stage, costing tens of millions of dollars?
Just a title advertisement, up to more than 300 million US dollars?
Originally, he thought that the 500 million Chinese yuan title sponsorship fee of the phenomenal variety show "Running Man" launched by himself in China and has been held for several episodes was very amazing, but in front of the 2 billion Chinese yuan title sponsorship fee of "Dream Voice", it is nothing.
Of course, this is also normal.
After all, "Running Man" is limited to China.
But "Dream Voice" is facing the entire Blue Star and will be broadcast in more than 30 countries around the world, with an audience of more than 2 billion people!
At this moment.
The program will not start recording for some time.
Christie asked tentatively: "Teacher Wang, are you preparing Chinese songs or English songs for your team members? Or songs from other countries?"
Wang Mo said: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Of course, English songs."
English songs?
The three looked at each other.
They felt more confident: they knew that Su Xueyao and others were top singers in China, and their singing skills must be good. If these people sang Chinese songs that they were good at, they might have a chance to make a splash on the stage. But they sang English songs that they had never touched before, and the probability of them not being able to adapt to the local environment was quite high.
So.
As long as the members of his team performed normally.
Wang Mo's team players were destined to take the last place.
Christie smiled even more brightly: "Then wait, I have to appreciate the performance of your members."
"I won't let you down."
Wang Mo also smiled.
He had experienced a lot in the past few years, so how could he not see through what Christie was thinking.
But Wang Mo didn't have any fluctuations in his heart.
After all, the other party had no bad intentions in his heart, he just wanted to surpass himself.
Finally.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first recording of "Dream Voice" officially started.
The host is a young man in his thirties named Nick.
Nick has hosted "Dream Voice" for seven episodes. At this moment, he is very comfortable on the stage, and his high and clear voice spreads throughout the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the most passionate, high-end and enthusiastic music competition program "Dream Voice" on this planet! Here, you can see any superstar you want to see, you can enjoy any good song you want to enjoy, and you can also watch many unknown singers become the top stars of the amazing music world tomorrow. Here you can release and realize all your music dreams. So, please cheer as much as you want!"
"Dream!"
"Dream!"
"..."
The audience was excited by these words and stood up.
The screams almost penetrated the eardrums.
Nick continued to shout: "Next, we are about to start the eighth episode of "Dream Voice". And this time we have invited four heavyweight guests. Wang Mo! Christie! Natalie! Brooke! I think there is no need for me to introduce them to the four of them. Please welcome them with your screams!"
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhhh~~~"
Even Wang Mo's ears were hurt by the screams of the audience.
But this also shows how enthusiastic the audience is.
More people were shouting.
"Master Wang Mo, play a piece!"
"Please play a piano piece!"
"Please play a guzheng piece!"
"I want to listen to suona!"
Finally, Wang Mo, who had been prepared, took out a bamboo flute from his seat and played a piece of "Shepherd's Flute" on the spot.
Even Kevin was moved by it.
"It's worth it... It's worth it..."
He was in turmoil.
Because according to the contract, Wang Mo didn't need to perform at the beginning.
But at this moment, the other party played a brand new music that they had never heard before, which was really rare.
Even Kevin was thinking wildly in his heart: "Is it because Wang Mo felt that he would be eliminated in two rounds, so he performed in advance to make up for the loss of the program?"
After thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely.
If Wang Mo had expected to be eliminated in advance, it would be impossible for him to recruit six Chinese singers with full confidence.
"Alas, I can't figure it out."
Kevin shook his head and shouted to the staff: "Record this performance of Master Wang Mo in all aspects, and don't miss a second."
Although Wang Mo only played a clip, Kevin knew how precious it was.
At that time, Wang Mo's performance alone might double the ratings of the premiere of "Dream Voice".
Thinking of this, Kevin was not so upset about Wang Mo's upcoming elimination.
When he thanked Wang Mo,
Wang Mo was thinking: This program is good, it allows me to show Chinese classical music at any time, plus it has a very high ratings, so I have to take this opportunity to show more Chinese music to the world.
This is also one of his plans.
After China became the hometown of music, the number of music lovers going to China increased dramatically, but this was far from enough.
So Wang Mo planned to use the popularity of "Dream Voice" to add fuel to the fire.
He did not discuss with Kevin because he knew that the other party would definitely agree to do so.
Because it was a win-win situation.
After playing a piece of "Shepherd's Flute", the three mentors around him, including Christie, were shocked again, and they saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This was the first time they felt Wang Mo's strength up close.
Seeing Wang Mo pick up an instrument they had never seen before and play a brand new song, but still with top-level beauty and feelings, it was really too shocking.
They were glad again in their hearts:
"Fortunately, Wang Mo chose six Chinese people, otherwise there would be no competition for this show."
"We can't compete with this kind of evil music master at all."
"Even Master Simon is not his opponent, how can we do it."
Secretly glad.
The host began to announce the start of the draw.
Natalie drew number 1, Christie drew number 2, Wang Mo was third, and Brooke was last.
According to the draw, Natalie's team members will be the first to go on stage.
"It's started!"
"Finally."
"I wonder who the first singer is?"
"You definitely don't know them, they are all newcomers."
"That's not necessarily true."
"..."
Accompanied by the discussion of the audience, a little black girl came out from the back of the stage.
The girl was about 20 years old, her dark skin reflected under the light, she had dreadlocks on her head, and her eyes were big and bright.
Wang Mo glanced at Natalie sitting in the mentor seat.
Although Natalie looked calm, there was appreciation and joy in her eyes. Wang Mo guessed that this black girl was probably a good seedling in her team, which made her so confident.
"My name is Jennifer. The song I brought to you today is "Shining Sky". I hope you like it."
After the black girl finished speaking, she waited for the prelude to begin.
Many audience members exclaimed in surprise from the judges' seats.
"Jennifer? I seem to have heard of this name."
"Yes, I have too."
"I remember, she is a talented singer from a certain university, and she is very famous on Facebook."
"It's her! I heard that this person has a very good singing talent, and even many first- and second-tier singers have praised her, and many large entertainment companies have extended olive branches to her. I didn't expect her to participate in "Dream Voice"."
"..."
Listening to these discussions, Wang Mo raised his eyebrows.
A well-known singer on campus?
He was very sensitive to the word campus, because he knew that many truly good seedlings basically came from campus.
Since this Jennifer can be famous and is favored by Natalie, it is estimated that she really has some ability.
While thinking in his heart.
Jennifer's singing has begun.
"Under the shining sky, I feel the warmth of hope
Every breath, a promise of tomorrow's dawn
Clouds may gather, but my heart will not be dim
For the sun always shines, after the rain has passed"
Just opened his mouth.
Many audiences' eyes widened.
"Nice."
"Really good."
"..."
Wang Mo also secretly admired.
Jennifer's performance was very amazing in his opinion, even better than Su Xueyao's performance on the stage when she was impacting the first-line singer.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountain stream, giving people a peaceful and beautiful feeling.
What Wang Mo found particularly amazing was the explosive power shown by Jennifer.
In the chorus, Jennifer's high-pitched voice and long breath made even him change color.
This is the strength of European and American singers.
Because their lung capacity is basically far beyond that of domestic singers, coupled with their unique temperament, the charm they show when singing is very amazing.
It is difficult for domestic singers to do this.
Even if they do, their unique temperament cannot match it.
Especially Jennifer's living environment is different. Her performance on the stage is not like a student at all, but like an experienced singer with charm!
Such courage!
Such demeanor!
Even Wang Mo was impressed.
At the same time, I felt that "Dream Voice" can become the first music variety show in Blue Star for a reason.
The contestants who appeared in the first round were comparable to the competition stage of domestic professional singers.
Finally, a few minutes later, Jennifer finished singing.
Thunderous applause.
Even Wang Mo couldn't help but applaud.
Next to him.
Kristiff praised: "Ms. Natalie, you are really amazing. You actually found talented talents like Jennifer on campus to become members of your team. Jennifer is not a newcomer. She has not debuted before. It is obvious that there are experts behind you, and you are trying to make a name for yourself on the stage of "The Voice of Dreams" by suppressing your fame. Now it seems that you, the student, are really going to stand out on the show."
Natalie was very charming when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kristiff, you are honored. But among the six singers in your team, which one is worse than Jennifer? Isn't it?"
When these two people compliment each other.
The second player has already entered the game.
It's the players on Kristiff's team.
Wang Mo looked intently and saw a young white man who came on stage. He should be around 24 or 5 years old. The young man was wearing a peaked cap and a Polo shirt, and he looked extremely lively and agile.
"Hey! Man! Hello everyone! My name is Cowell, do you know me? Whether you know me or not, it doesn't matter. At this moment, please let us play rock and roll together and have fun together! Please listen to the demon rock I wrote myself The song "Free to Bloom"!
The youth is full of energy and has an amazing voice.
Under the stage, there were screams again.
"It's Cowell!"
"Ah! He is the king of the hotel."
"My favorite western rock singer, and he's here?"
"..."
When Wang Mo heard this, his heart moved slightly again.
Good guy!
Looking at this situation, the other party is another newcomer with a good background?
Although she has not officially debuted like Jennifer, she should be extremely famous in a certain circle, otherwise there would not be many screams from the audience.
Generally speaking, such people cannot be described as newcomers at all, they can only be regarded as old people who have not made their debut.
When Wang Mo looked at Cowell.
Boom! Boom!
I saw the shocking rock prelude sounded.
Then, Cowell's singing filled the room.
“In the heart of the storm, I stand tall
With a spirit unchained, my will is strong
The chains of fear are broken, I'm free at last
Now I'm ready to soar, to take on the sky"
Hot blooded.
Burning passion.
Off stage.
Hao Mingxing, Su Xueyao and others who did not appear today all changed their faces slightly.
Hao Mingxing whispered: "So strong!"
Su Xueyao nodded: "Yes, I can't believe that a newcomer with such strength is still on the stage."
Ye Yuanhang's expression was solemn: "I have long heard that all the stage contestants in "The Sound of Dreams" are monsters, and now it turns out to be true. This person's rock skills may not even be surpassed by the top rock singers in the country."
"That's talent."
Hao Mingxing nodded, but then said: "Are you timid?"
Hear the words.
Ye Yuanhang chuckled: "Brother Xing, who are you looking down on? If it was before Brother Mo didn't give us songs or give us careful guidance, if I met such a singer, there would be no chance of winning. But now... "
He didn't say any more, but a fierce fighting spirit burst out in his eyes.
There is an urge to rush to the stage.
So what if you are stronger?
They have Brother Mo in charge!
Everyone is full of confidence.
…
On the stage, after Cowell sang a rock song, the whole audience was brought to a boil by him.
Screams.
Cheers.
filled the entire studio.
Even Wang Mo has to admit that as long as this Cowell is packaged a little, with his strength and natural temperament, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the international music scene.
At the same time, he secretly sighed: Only two contestants have appeared now, and they are so powerful. It seems that it will not be easy for Hao Mingxing and others to stand out on this show this time.
soon.
Cowell then walked off the stage.
Host Nick's high-pitched voice then sounded: "Everyday! Where is the applause? Let us applaud Cowell's wonderful singing. At the same time, please prepare for the most passionate screams, because what is about to happen next The player on the stage has a different identity from the previous two. She is a player on Master Wang Mo’s team!
This is the first time that Master Wang Mo has participated in an international variety show. It is also the first time that he has led a team and has allowed members of his team to appear on stage. What kind of surprises can he bring us?
Please wait and see! "
boom!
The scene was filled with excitement.
"Wang Mo!"
"Wang Mo!"
"Wang Mo!"
"..."
Many spectators' faces turned red and they shouted Wang Mo's name.
Many of these visitors were celebrities from New York, and they all came for Wang Mo. Just to see Wang Mo up close.
They all missed Wang Mo's performance at the International Music Hall Night, so they didn't dare to miss it again this time.
Even if only members of Wang Mo's team appeared next, they couldn't help but be excited.
"come on!"
"Get first place!"
"Mr. Wang Mo's team members are absolutely amazing."
"I wonder which newcomers will be favored by Mr. Wang Mo."
"..."
And the tutor seat.
Christie and the other two also looked at each other.
Here they come!
Finally they come!
Their expressions were a little complicated, and they even expected what kind of reaction the audience would have next.
Under the attention of the audience.
A weak and petite figure walked out on the stage.
It was a girl.
Long hair, thin figure. Yellow skin, black eyes.
The moment they saw the girl.
All the audience's eyes suddenly widened, and the noisy scene fell into silence for a while. (End of this chapter)
