Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 253. Very unfriendly competition system and public opinion, **** mode starts! (Please subscribe!)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!
Has the competition format changed again?
The game will start soon.
Is there something wrong with the international operations team again?
This is the first time that The Voice International has held a world competition.
So.
The operation team is trying its best to attract everyone's attention and try its best to hold the fairest competition in the ten major competition areas. It must select the most talented, powerful and beautiful voices. Only in this way can It really attracts the largest audience to watch and listen to the music.
Objectively speaking, this is indeed a good thing, and the selected players have indeed amazed all the audiences in each competition area.
To date, The Voice International is almost the most watched entertainment event in the world. Even the several blockbusters released by Hollywood at the end of the year cannot compete with it for attention.
This shows that the operation plan is successful.
This gives the operation team more confidence to make troubles.
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong looked at Zhou Qinghua, but they did not ask. They just ate breakfast slowly and waited for Zhou Qinghua's explanation.
Zhou Qinghua drank a glass of water and said in a more serious tone: "The new competition system has added a performance data, which is very beneficial to their local players."
Seeing that Wang Qian, Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin still didn't ask.
Zhou Qinghua looked a little embarrassed and glanced at He Dongming.
He Dongming is worthy of being the subordinate who has cooperated and exchanged the most with Zhou Qinghua recently. He immediately asked with understanding: "Director Zhou, what data?"
Zhou Qinghua continued: "Sales data!"
Wang Qian understood immediately and said softly: "In other words, the songs performed live will be released on the market? Will the sales data statistics be included in the final ranking?"
Zhou Qinghua nodded: "That's right! The Good Voice operation team has reached a cooperation agreement with the North American Billboard. A temporary ranking list will be compiled separately for this international Good Voice competition. Each time the contestants finish singing The songs will be listed immediately and enter the ranking list for a period of one week. The ranking will be determined after one week. The ranking will be used to calculate the performance data and be included in the final score of the competition. ”
Qin Xuerong asked curiously: "How do you make statistics with so much data? There are online audience voting data, live audience voting data, and live judges' scoring data. Now there is another weekly sales ranking! These are four Data, how to calculate it in the end?”
Zhou Qinghua immediately explained: "Online audience voting and on-site voting data will be calculated together, and they will all be counted as audience votes. In addition to the judges' scores and sales performance rankings, there are still three data, two or three data wins. The one who surpasses his opponent is the winner."
Wang Qian nodded: "This is indeed the most beneficial to their local players."
For example, Adam, the most famous player in North America, has accumulated tens of millions of fans here. If he sells his songs, it will definitely be easier for him to attract more viewers to buy his songs than players from other regions.
European players will be less attractive than Adam.
As for Asian contestants, they have little visibility here. Once their songs are released for sale, they have almost zero foundation. They need to rely entirely on their own strength and the songs themselves to attract audiences to buy and download, and to overcome those audiences' concerns. The instinctive contempt of Asians.
Such a comparison!
For Asian players, it is extremely unfriendly, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is hellishly difficult.
He Dongming said: "This is the sales list that is included in the results. There are also data lists that are not included in the results, but will also be displayed! The bulletin board will also list a separate overall list to include this world championship. The sales data of all the songs performed by the ten contestants will be listed until the end of the entire competition, and there will be a final ranking of all performances. ”
"At the same time, these songs will also enter the overall ranking of Billboard. Not only will the contestants compete, but they will also compete with other big-name singers who released songs at the same time! In other words, this time the operation team and Billboard will cooperate. All the performances of all players will be given an overall sales ranking, and the sales ranking will also be included in the overall chart ranking of the Billboard itself. ”
"In the end, the top ones are okay, but once they are at the bottom, it will be very embarrassing. In short, it is still a very unfriendly mechanism for Asian players!"
He Dongming's tone was a little dissatisfied.
Zhou Qinghua also sighed and said: "I voted against this decision. The island country program team and the third program team also voted against it, but all seven of their major competition regions voted in favor, so our objection is invalid. I I heard that this decision was promoted by several major record companies in order to increase the visibility and appeal of Adam’s players as much as possible through this world competition.”
"Prepare for their official debut after the competition. Once successful, there may be several kings and queens of singers."
"As for Asian players"
"They think that just coming here is enough. It is enough to attract local audiences. The important thing is to participate."
Zhou Qinghua clearly felt the suppression and discrimination against Asian contestants by the program team this time.
Even though the revenue contributed by China this time is second only to North America, no one cares about the feelings of Chinese players and audiences.
Of course
These rankings will definitely be of great benefit in increasing the attention of the program group as a whole.
Because.
With rankings, there will be controversy and room for speculation.
Just like the ranking of characters in some novels and comics, readers and fans can argue about it for a hundred years, and they will still be enthusiastic.
The ranking of NBA players is also a topic that will never go out of fashion among fans and viewers.
So.
The emergence of these rankings will definitely bring huge controversy, and it will also bring huge heat and attention, followed by ratings, and ultimately reaped benefits!
But
Asian players felt great malice.
After hearing what Zhou Qinghua and He Dongming said, Wang Qian didn't say anything. He just ate quietly and said softly: "This also leaves no room for everyone to operate, right?"
Zhou Qinghua nodded: "Of course, all sales data are well-documented. We have notaries in each region. No matter who discovers a problem, they have the right to question it publicly."
Wang Qian: "That doesn't matter. In the end, it all comes down to strength and work. I just have to do my own work well."
With that said, Wang Qian had finished his breakfast, put down the tableware, wiped his mouth gently, stood up and said, "Let me clean up for a while, then we will go to the performance venue."
"By the way, where is the performance venue?"
Zhou Qinghua said seriously: "You must know, Staples Center."
Wang Qian: "Of course I know the home arenas of the Lakers and Clippers."
Zhou Qinghua: "In order to stagger the performance with the football game, the program team carefully adjusted the performance time."
Zhao Wei and He Fulin were the most excited after hearing this!
They never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to perform at Staples Center in this lifetime.
Murong Yue was the calmest. When she was studying at Berkeley, she often came to Staples Center to watch performances.
Of course, she has never come to perform before.
Jiang Yu has some expectations!
Wang Qian tidied up a little and wanted to wear some casual clothes.
However, Qin Xuerong forced Wang Qian to wear a suit, but without a tie.
Wang Qian doesn't like wearing ties very much. A rope tied around his neck is not only uncomfortable, but it goes without saying what it looks like.
Everyone else has packed up, and when Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong are done, they will set off for the Staples Center with Zhou Qinghua and He Dongming from the program team.
Just went out.
I saw Miyuki Nakamori coming out not far away, accompanied by Chiba Mazhu, Ito Mahide, and two people from the island country's The Voice program team.
Meet Wang Qian and Zhou Qinghua and their group.
Miyuki Nakamori hurried over with Ito Mahide and Chiba Maju.
Nakamori Miyuki nodded slightly to Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong and said softly: "Wang Qianjun, good morning!"
Qianyu Zhenzhu also nodded: "Good morning!"
Mahide Ito and others also nodded and smiled politely.
Wang Qian smiled and nodded and said: "Good morning, everyone, are you going to the performance venue?"
Nakamori Miyuki: "Yes, we have been taking time to go there every day recently to prepare for the performance in two days. Wang Qianjun, is this your first time going today?"
Wang Qian: "Well, I'll take my teammates to see the venue."
Miyuki Nakamori: "Still stick to rock style?"
Wang Qian smiled: "Of course, this time, I only play rock and roll."
No one else spoke, they just watched the two of them talking, as if they were two friends who knew each other relatively well!
After chatting for a few words, we walked to the stairs and separated.
Because Miyuki Nakamori and the program team have other things to do.
Wang Qian took Qin Xuerong out of the hotel and immediately saw many media reporters outside, as well as some local Los Angeles Internet celebrities and self-media people gathered here.
Cameras and mobile phones were all pointed at the hotel door.
Wang Qian, Zhou Qinghua and his party just arrived yesterday, so they obviously did not expect this situation and were not prepared.
Before the hailed car arrived, a group of media people swarmed over.
Microphones were handed to Wang Qian one by one, and reporters hurriedly asked questions in English.
"Mr. Wang Qian, are you confident in defeating your opponents when you come to Los Angeles to participate in the The Voice World Championship on behalf of the China Division?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, I know you promised the Chinese audience on China Network that you would win the world championship. Why are you so confident?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, I have been following you recently and found that you did not prepare well for the World Championship. Instead, you wrote a novel in China. Why is this? Do you know that you have no hope of victory and have given up?"
"Mr. Wang Qian, some people questioned that the live performance of your new rock song "ihatemyselfforlovingyou" you released last time was fake. You can't sing such a song at all. Is this true?"
"Mr. Wang Qian"
Reporters' questions came to me unceremoniously.
Zhou Qinghua and He Dongming hurriedly stepped forward to block Wang Qian.
Qin Xuerong winked at Zhao Wei and He Fulin behind them, and they quickly stepped forward to block the rushing reporters, protecting Wang Qian inside.
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue stood behind Wang Qian.
Wang Qian lowered his head slightly, not looking at the shots or the reporters. He just pulled Qin Xuerong and walked forward.
He is a veteran in the entertainment industry and has rich experience in dealing with these media.
Although these media questions are very rude.
Wang Qian is in a foreign country, and if he is not good, he may be discredited by their crazy rhythm!
So, Wang Qian knew that the only thing he could do now was to remain silent and say nothing.
Of course, he knew that this would not stop these people from discrediting him.
But there was nothing he could do.
Smearing the Chinese people is now politically correct for the North American media, and it is something they have always liked to do.
However.
In addition to these media that use fierce rhetoric to find fault, there are also some media that are relatively neutral and friendly.
"Mr. Wang Qian, can I take a picture of you? Smile!"
"Mr. Wang Qian, many people in North America like your two English rock songs. When you come to Los Angeles to compete this time, will you still stick to the rock style? Will you sing English rock or Chinese rock?"
"Mr. Wang Qian"
Wang Qian didn’t respond when he heard these questions. He just smiled and cooperated with the reporter who took the photo. Then he saw the program team’s car coming. He quickly pulled Qin Xuerong and followed He Dongming and Zhou Qinghua. The leader got into the car.
The reporters around him were also persistent and kept coming at them one after another with sharp topics.
Wang Qian also responded with silence. After the group got in the car, they quickly left.
Zhou Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief and said: "These gossip media are really rude. They dare to say anything. Fortunately, you handled it well. Just ignore them. No matter what they say, just treat them as nonsense. Otherwise, if you get angry and argue with them, they will succeed and things will get worse in the end."
Wang Qian: "I know, the media, just ignore them. They can make up nonsense if they like. I won't answer them a word anyway!"
He Dongming nodded: "To be honest, the entertainment media here are the most controversial about you. Because many contestants in other competition regions have publicly expressed their recognition of you! Especially in the North American Good Voice finals, you lost to Adam Green publicly stated that Adam's musical talent is not as good as yours, and said that Adam may lose to you."
"Adam also gave in at that time, which caused a lot of heated discussion in North America. The media began to dig up your information frantically and smear you in various ways."
"Now that you are here, of course these media will not let you go."
Tell the truth.
Wang Qian is also a little stressed now.
I don’t have the absolutely invincible self-confidence I had at the beginning.
Because!
Both the competition system and the public opinion here are really unfriendly to him.
Almost!
There is a feeling of being against the whole world.
Want to win in this situation.
It's really the nightmare mode among the **** modes.
Relying solely on strength may not be enough, it also depends on luck.
So.
Wang Qian fell silent, did not speak, and looked out the window at the scenery of Los Angeles.
Wang Qian was silent.
No one else spoke anymore, not wanting to disturb Wang Qian.
Qin Xuerong held Wang Qian's hand tightly and gave Wang Qian his support.
The car soon arrived at Staples Center.
There are also a lot of media reporters here.
As soon as Wang Qian's car came in, it was surrounded by many media reporters.
The driver wanted to stop.
Because this is a routine operation for other players. They stop to be interviewed by media reporters, chat a few words, and increase exposure. This may help with subsequent canvassing for votes.
But.
Wang Qian didn't need it, so he immediately said to the driver: "Sir, don't stop, just go in!"
The black driver looked back at Wang Qian and asked with certainty: "Sir, are you sure? You will miss a good exposure opportunity."
Wang Qian smiled and shook his head: "I'm sure I don't need this opportunity. We just need a quiet environment now."
The black driver nodded and drove directly to the direct entrance without stopping.
Zhou Qinghua, He Dongming, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin got out of the car first and acted as security guards for Wang Qian. Then Wang Qian pulled Qin Xuerong out of the car, followed closely by Jiang Yu and Murong Yue. Entered the passage.
Many media reporters around saw that Wang Qian had no intention of stopping, so they just took a few photos and did not chase Wang Qian.
Inside, several reporters were already waiting, and several NBC cameras were set up to record all the details of Wang Qian entering the venue.
The leader, a tall and thin white host wearing a black women's suit, quickly walked up and handed a microphone to Wang Qian: "Hello, contestant Wang Qian from China, I am the interview host, Diana, can I give you an interview?"
Wang Qian looked at Zhou Qinghua to confirm whether the other party's identity was true.
Zhou Qinghua nodded slightly and said yes, this is the exclusive interview with the contestants arranged by the program team.
Wang Qian immediately agreed: "Of course, this is what I should do."
Diana looked young, looked at Wang Qian carefully with her brown eyes, and immediately interviewed Wang Qian.
At this time.
A group of people came through the door again.
Adam walked in with Ceci and Winston.
They immediately saw Wang Qian and his party who were being interviewed.
Adam and others stopped and looked at Wang Qian.
