Chapter 520 Chinese Singers VS Western Singers!
Blue Star.
On this day, the entire music industry, and even the entire entertainment industry, was in a frenzy because of an announcement from "The Voice of Dreams".
At the same time.
The Metropolitan Stadium in New York also opened ticket sales.
As the top stadium in North America, it is magnificent and majestic, and is generally used as an important venue for rugby performances.
Needless to say, rugby has a high status in North America, so this stadium is the most expensive stadium in the world, with a jaw-dropping cost of 1.6 billion US dollars, and can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators at most.
In the stadium, there are 4 1210-inch high-definition giant screens and more than 2,000 TVs, so that the audience can watch the game without any dead angles. At the same time, this stadium also has more than 1,000 toilets with various equipment.
Of course, if a variety show like "The Voice of Dreams" is to be broadcast live, it will definitely not be possible to fill the entire audience.
After all, people cannot sit behind the stage.
But it is more than enough to accommodate 60,000 live audiences.
Originally, the executives of ABC Radio had doubts about Kevin's decision to set up such a world-class stadium for the live broadcast.
After all, there are 60,000 viewers!
What variety show can have 60,000 die-hard fans watching the live broadcast in the fourth episode?
However, Kevin still insisted on his opinion.
His reasons are:
First, the four mentors are all top stars in the music industry, and a large part of their fans can come.
Second, each of the six contestants in Wang Mo's team has made a name for themselves in the music industry, and even their songs are still popular in the music industry today, so they have attracted a lot of fans.
Third, the popularity of the program is so high that it can also make many people interested in live broadcasting.
Finally, it turns out that Kevin's persistence is right.
When the program team opened the ticket purchase channel on the Internet, all 60,000 tickets were sold out in just half an hour.
The enthusiasm of the audience is much higher than everyone imagined.
...
The Internet has always been lively.
"Live broadcast is the time to see the true level."
"Well, now is the best opportunity to test whether Chinese singers can crush European and American contestants."
"Many people say that there is something shady in the program group, deliberately creating the interests of Chinese singers to attract topics? The next live broadcast can find out."
There are many people in the industry who are also discussing.
They are the most nervous.
"If you can't live broadcast, you can't beat Wang Mo's contestants, right?"
"What do you mean by being able to beat? The second round is an internal elimination match within the team, and there will be no PK between teams!"
"I am a little relieved when you say that."
But soon someone was still entangled: "But even if it is an internal elimination match, everyone can see the strengths and weaknesses, right? What if the contestants in Christie's team are lame, and the contestants in Wang Mo's team are all outstanding?"
No one answered.
Because no one can give an answer.
Of course, there are still many people who firmly believe that when the live broadcast starts, the contestants in Wang Mo's team will be exposed.
After all, in the eyes of almost all Europeans and Americans, Chinese singers have always lagged far behind the international music scene in terms of image, temperament, and singing skills. Chinese singers can hardly compete with international singers, let alone get started.
"I've bought the tickets. We'll expose the fake masks of Chinese singers."
"I really don't believe it. Chinese singers are really that good."
"Yes, I absolutely don't believe it."
"Without half-open mics and audio editing, Wang Mo and the other contestants will be exposed."
"What's more, I think the songs written by Wang Mo have been used up. Let's see what these singers sing next!"
"It doesn't matter what songs they sing. This is Europe and America! This is New York! This will always be our home court!"
"I listened carefully to the songs Wang Mo sang. Only one song about polar bears was okay. I can't appreciate the other songs anyway. Think about the songs Wang Mo sang himself. The quality is like this. Then can the contestants he trained be better than him? What a joke? Are you going to turn the tables?"
"Anyway, I have the greatest confidence in our European and American contestants. Their performance in the second round will definitely make a comeback."
"Wait for the live broadcast!"
"Wait for the live broadcast!"
"..."
Most of those who raised these doubts were netizens who had always disliked Wang Mo. In the first round, facing Su Xueyao and the others' performance, these people were speechless and had no point of attack. Even if they suspected that the program team had some shady dealings, they could not find any evidence. But now, since the program has been live broadcasted, and the performance is still full of open microphones without sound editing, they feel that their chance has come again. This time they must see the European and American contestants save the situation in person on the live broadcast. They still don't believe that Chinese singers can suddenly sweep the European and American music scene?
No matter how powerful Wang Mo is, he can't be invincible forever, right?
...
Saturday is here.
At 6 pm New York time, there are still two hours before the first live broadcast of "Dream Voice".
At this moment, Wang Mo has taken six people from the team to the scene in a special vehicle for the program team.
"Are you nervous?"
Wang Mo looked at the six people and asked with a smile.
Several people shook their heads with calm expressions.
Wang Mo saw that except for Su Xueyao and Hao Mingxing, who were really not nervous at all, the expressions of others, including Ye Yuanhang, were not very natural.
Although they are famous singers in China, this time they will be on stage live in front of tens of thousands of people, facing hundreds of millions or even billions of viewers around the world.
Especially in the past two days, they have been paying attention to the rumors on the Internet.
So they know in their hearts that on this stage, they represent not only themselves, but the whole of China.
If they are not careful, they will become sinners.
How can they not be nervous?
At this time, Wang Mo said nothing, and they could only let them overcome the difficulties themselves.
…
In China, today's network was almost paralyzed.
Since only Douyin has obtained the live broadcast rights of "Dream Voice", even if it is six or seven in the morning in China, millions of people have already poured into the live broadcast room.
According to this posture, when the live broadcast starts, the number of people will at least exceed 10 million.
At this moment, netizens can't wait to swipe the screen.
"Come on, Brother Mo!"
"Defeat the foreign devils!"
"Ahhh, Brother Mo finally conquered the international music scene."
"Live broadcast, those international netizens actually look down on Wang Mo? They don't know at all that Wang Mo is the real king-level figure who came out of live broadcast. Back then on "Masked Crossover Singer", he almost killed his way through the music scene!"
"It's a pity that Wang Mo is only a mentor this time and won't be on stage in person."
"It's okay, Su Xueyao, Hao Mingxing and others are strong enough. Those European and American singers don't know, so how can we not know? Singers like Su Xueyao and Miao Xiaoxia are all people who get stronger when facing strong opponents. International netizens thought they would make a fool of themselves in the live broadcast, but they didn't know that they were all elites who fought out in talent shows, so the live broadcast just hit their strengths."
"That's right, Su Xueyao is someone who can wrestle with the national team and not lose! How could she be afraid of live broadcasts with all microphones open and no sound editing? I guess she is eager to do this to show her true strength."
"..."
Everyone has strong confidence in the upcoming live broadcast.
I believe that the few people in Wang Mo's team will also create miracles.
The only regret is that it is not convenient to watch live broadcasts during the early working hours in China, but many people still secretly open Douyin and prepare to check their phones as soon as possible.
...
At the same time.
On the other side of the ocean, the New York Metropolitan Stadium has already been crowded with people.
60,000 spectators have already arrived, and it looks like a sea of people.
Of course, among these 60,000 spectators, it is estimated that at least 30,000 to 40,000 are fans of Christie and Natalie.
As the kings and queens of the current music scene, the number of fans can be imagined. The madness of their fans is far beyond that of Wang Mo and Brooke's fans.
For example, if Taylor Swift, Adele, Abel... and other singers in the previous life appeared in a live variety show, it is estimated that the fans on the scene would also be crowded.
As for the remaining 10,000 or 20,000 spectators.
Some are fans of outstanding contestants such as Wang Mo and Hao Mingxing.
Some are here to watch the fun.
Some are industry insiders who come to collect first-hand information.
Time gradually passed.
Finally... it's eight o'clock.
…
China.
“It’s started, it’s started.”
“Ahhh, so excited.”
“This time, Brother Mo must tell everyone how strong our country’s singers are.”
“Yes, I look forward to it.”
…
Europe.
“It’s finally here.”
“Whether Wang Mo and his contestants are just seeking fame or not, it will be revealed soon.”
“I firmly believe that European and American contestants must be the strongest.”
“Come on, this is a clash between the Eastern and Western music worlds.”
…
North America.
“Come on, come on, watch the live broadcast.”
“Bring some beer.”
“I want peanuts.”
“Hurry up, it’s started.”
…
Around the world, countless viewers are watching the screens in front of their TVs and computers without blinking.
As many netizens and industry insiders said, this live broadcast seems to be the second round of “Dream Voice”, but in the true sense it is a clash between the Eastern and Western music worlds.
Although tonight is an internal elimination match within the team, there is voting on the spot.
The number of votes can tell at a glance which team’s contestants perform best and which team’s contestants perform worst. Even if the contestants from different mentors have not played against each other. But it is still clear who will win and who will lose.
For example: in the PK between the players in Natalie's team, the highest votes won by the winner are 10,000 votes. In the PK between the players in Christie's team, the loser also has 10,000 votes. In the minds of the public, the winning player of Natalie's team is not convincing.
That's why everyone is looking forward to it.
In particular, many European and American netizens shouted loudly on the Internet.
"When the time comes, vote for our European and American players, and we must crush Wang Mo's players in terms of votes."
"Yes, make Wang Mo embarrassed."
"Try to make the players who win the PK in Wang Mo's team tonight, and the votes can only be the bottom."
"..."
Various voices radiate the entire network.
Eight o'clock.
The live broadcast officially started!
The opening show was the performance of the mentors.
Natalie and Brooks sang a song together. The two are worthy of being the top ten singers in the current Blue Star. The song made the fans scream again and again.
As a songwriter, Brooke asked the host to improvise a topic on the stage, composed a tune himself, and sang it while playing the piano.
Although it is only a short section, it is still of good quality.
Even Wang Mo admires this kind of talent.
When it was Wang Mo's turn, Wang Mo kept it simple and played "Ambush from Flying Daggers" on the guzheng on the stage.
The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword.
Majestic.
Everyone was almost stunned.
Although "House of Flying Daggers" has become a famous guzheng song in China, this is the first time Wang Mo has performed it on the international stage. How can these audiences not be shocked when they hear it?
There was a wave of applause.
Online, viewers were also amazed.
"Oh my God! This music is so good."
"I got goosebumps."
"I seemed to hear an army crushing me, leaving me breathless."
"I have to say that Wang Mo's musical attainments can be regarded as the number one person in the music industry today."
"What instrument is this?"
"I know it's a Chinese guzheng. I've already bought one, but I can't play it."
"It's so beautiful. I feel like I'm becoming more and more addicted to Chinese music."
"..."
Wang Mo's guzheng music made countless audiences excited.
This was also his previous inner plan. On "The Sound of Dreams", he would use all means to promote Chinese music culture and do his best to promote Chinese music to the world.
His thoughts could only be guessed by Zhao Shu and a few other top Chinese musicians.
Beijing.
Zhao Shu saw Wang Mo's performance with relief and emotion on his face: "Wang Mo, this kid, works hard."
A few minutes later.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene had been ignited, the instructors stepped aside.
Nick, the host in a gray suit, walked onto the stage. After a simple opening remarks, he said: "Tonight is the second round of the "Voice of Dreams" competition. Our four mentor teams will usher in their own internal challenges. In the PK game, there are six players in each mentor team, and there will be three rounds of PK. Next, we will invite four mentors to come on stage to draw lots and choose the order of playing today. And the players who are going to compete on stage.”
Because it is an internal draw within each team.
Therefore, the expressions of the four instructors were very calm, and it didn't matter who they drew anyway.
Out of modesty and respect for the elders, Wang Mo was still the last one to draw lots.
soon.
Natalie, Kristiff, and Brooke each took out a ball from the box in full view of everyone.
Wang Mo didn't care what number they drew, but took out the last ball in the box.
Take a closer look: No. 1!
Hey!
He burst into laughter. It seemed that he had inherited Natalie's "good luck" and started to draw numbers 1 consecutively.
The audience also laughed when they saw this scene.
"Wang Mo's team is the first to take the stage!"
"Hahaha, that's a good relationship. You can see the performance of his team players right away."
"I am here to tell you immediately whether the Chinese singers are strong or not."
"The market is open: Bet on whether Wang Mo will continue to give new songs to the contestants? Bet a Dou coin."
"In the intra-team competition, Brother Mo will not waste any more good songs, right? Just sing a few Chinese songs casually."
"Yes, there is no need to fight so hard."
"..."
Many people believe that Wang Mo will most likely not continue to come up with new songs for the players in internal team competitions.
Because they all know that a good new song is hard to come by, and good songs must be used in the third round and semi-finals to achieve the best results.
But now, it’s just an internal PK, so there’s no need to waste new songs.
This is also a point of concern for many European and American audiences. They are certain that after leaving Wang Mo's new song, the Chinese contestants who sing Chinese songs will definitely be brought back to their original form, which will then bring out the excellence of other European and American contestants.
What intra-team competition?
Of course it’s not that simple!
Everyone knew in their hearts that this was a live broadcast of Chinese singers VS European and American singers!
Live broadcast of the Eastern pop music scene versus the Western pop music scene!
now.
When Wang Mo saw that his team was the first to appear, he just smiled and then pulled out the list of players from the second box.
Open it and take a look: Miao Xiaoxia VS Fu Zhuang.
"Is it the two of them? Well, it seems a bit lively tonight."
Wang Mo looked at the huge stadium and listened to the boiling noise, with a faint smile on his lips.
How could he not understand what the audience and many in the industry were thinking?
In this case.
Come on then! (End of chapter)
