Chapter 528: Low-profile and good voice


    A humble dwelling.


    Zhou Huimin sat obediently to the side and listened to a guy convincing her mother: "I''m just using my summer vacation to participate in a TV show. It won''t delay any studies. Moreover, the characteristic of our show is that we need to be accompanied by relatives and friends, so you will be with her when the time comes.


    If the recording is too late, we will arrange a vehicle to take everyone home, so you don’t have to worry at all. "


    “…”


    Her mother, like Li Jiaxin’s mother, is from Shanghai. She used to be wealthy. Although her face is tired of life and her face is old, she speaks very forcefully: "I am really, really grateful to you for your repeated invitations to my daughter, but this is not Money is not a matter of security.


    I want to train her to go to college, and I don’t want to get involved in TV or movies, so you’d better please come back. "


    The visitor tried to persuade her again, but when she saw that her mother was unmoved, she had to say goodbye. Before leaving, she whispered to Zhou Huimin who was walking to the door, and then went downstairs.


    Most celebrities should not take things at face value. The public''s stereotype of Zhou Huimin is that of a beautiful girl, pure, beautiful, gentle, and delicate. In fact, she was also the king of children when she was a child, with a very strong personality and very independent opinions.


    In later generations, there was a saying of "stamp collecting", which originated from a program interview by Sandra Ng, in which she said that there was a female star who loved stamp collecting, and she collected three of the Four Heavenly Kings. There is no conclusive evidence as to whether it is Zhou Huimin or not, and we will not discuss it here.


    Shan said she went into the house to do some homework and saw her mother preparing to cook. She went to the kitchen to look around and found an excuse: "Mom, let me buy some soy sauce?"


    "Well, come back soon."


    She took the change and went out. When she got downstairs, she looked around. Sure enough, the staff member had been waiting.


    "I''m sorry. You guys have come here many times, but I can''t persuade my mother."


    "It doesn''t matter, I just ask you, do you want to participate?"


    "Of course I thought about it, but it''s a pity that I can''t help it."


    An adolescent girl who was severely disciplined has always been rebellious at heart. She has always been keen on singing and participated in campus competitions in school, hoping to stand on a bigger stage.


    "If you have a way, you can kill it first and show it later."


    "Ah? You mean to tell me that if I didn''t tell my mother about participating in the competition, she would beat me to death!" Zhou Huimin shook her head repeatedly.


    "Your mother naturally loves you, but I think there may be a lack of communication between you. We can let you stand on the stage and open up your heart, express your feelings for your mother, and say everything you have hidden in your heart. How wonderful is this? opportunity!”


    "But, but..."


    "Do you want to help your mother reduce her burden and supplement the family income?"


    "Of course!"


    "Then why does your mother always oppose it? Because you have no results, why no results? Because you have never crossed this threshold. You didn''t even take the first step, so you told your mother that I want to make money and I want you to pass. Have a good life...please, even my mother won’t agree!”


    The other party gave a UFO pause, and finally said: "Recording the program will only take up one day of your time, you can always spare it, right? Come to me as soon as you figure it out!"


    He''s gone.


    Zhou Huimin stood stunned for a while, then hurriedly went to buy soy sauce.


    (She probably looks like this now, as shown in the picture)


    …


    81 Broadcasting Road, ATV Building.


    Accompanied by Li Zhuanglie, Chen Qi walked through the lobby and entered the maze-like interior. Large and small studios were distributed irregularly. The smallest one was 2,700 square feet, about 250 square meters.


    The largest one is 1,600 square meters and can accommodate 600 people.


    In Hong Kong, it can be said to be a grand hall, and TVB also has one. If nothing else, the annual Taiwan celebration must be a grand event, and the venue should not be too shabby.


    Chen Qi looked around and said with disdain: "This is your biggest studio? It''s only two times the size of my yard."


    "I know your yard is 9,000 square feet, so you don''t have to show it off, right?"


    "You can show off even if you have 9,000 feet."


    He stood on the stage and walked down a passage that extended to the auditorium. There were four red chairs there. He clicked the button and the chairs turned around. He said happily: "It''s quite sensitive. Where did you buy them? "Custom-made in Guangdong, four for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars."


    “It’s expensive!”


    "Is this expensive?"


    "I''m going to negotiate. A chair costs 300 yuan, but there are factories over there that earn foreign exchange. You can just treat it as a contribution."


    Chen Qi simply sat on the chair, which was not made of leather but was very comfortable. He patted and played with it, spinning it around like a human sushi.


    Li Zhuanglie gestured to the staff to cut off his power!


    "How much material did you record?"


    "It''s enough for two issues, but it lacks highlights."


    "It''s okay. There will be highlights when I come back. Are the four judges in mood?"


    "Other than complaining about the long recording time, I have no emotions... Oh, by the way, Zhong Zhentao is one of our own."


    Four judges: Huang Zhan, Zhong Zhentao, Du Lisa, and Ye Zhentang.


    Except for Huang Zhan, the other three players can only be said to be okay. It’s not that I don’t want to hire big names, it’s either too expensive or inappropriate. For example, Luo Wen’s contract is with China Star Records. China Star Records is owned by TVB, so he definitely can’t come to ATV to do programs.


    Huang Zhan also has a contract with TVB, but it is a song lyrics contract. He is very free. He often jumps between the two TV stations, and he has to smile at everyone.


    The secret of The Voice program lies in its internal operations.


    The judges have their own personalities and styles, and may not necessarily be willing to cooperate. Among the four, at least one must be "one of our own" and willing to cooperate, that is, Zhong Zhentao.


    He is the lead singer of the Wenner band and has considerable musical achievements, but he is habitually ignored.


    Lisa Teresa sang English songs in the 1970s. After the rise of Cantonese songs, she also began to release Cantonese albums. Later she became a teacher for a large number of singers and was called the godmother of music. Ye Zhentang mainly sings the theme songs of TV series, and he sang "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down".


    Both of them have contracts with EMI Records, so they are willing to come and be relatively willing to cooperate.


    Huang Zhan refused to cooperate.


    "Director Li, the audience is about to enter!"


    "Yeah I know!"


    The staff warned, and the two ran to the director''s room. Chen Qi didn''t want to show up for the time being. "The Voice of Asia" is a program cooperating between ATV and EMI''s subsidiary, and it has nothing to do with him.


    He watched as the audience entered, the four judges took their seats, and the contestants took their seats.


    Lin Yilian came out first.


    She is 17 years old, looks like the little elf mouse, and is more Japanese. In fact, her overall style was okay, but her eyes were too small and she had to wear makeup. She even sang a song of Carpenter''s "Assorted Vegetables."


    Chen Qi suddenly remembered Zhang Qiang from the mainland.


    "She is signed to a record company and works as a part-time DJ at the radio station. She has not released an album yet, so the new one is incredible." Li Zhuanglie said.


    "I''ll poach her here and take advantage."


    "Do you like this girl very much?"


    "It''s not bad, she has her own characteristics, and she can be trained to become a queen."


    "I think it''s average. She has a classmate who is really nice and has a very clean voice. Her name is Priscilla Chan."


    "Well, it''s also mine."


    "???"


    Li Zhuanglie glanced at him and suddenly discovered a question: Why does he always recruit young girls? Either underage or seventeen or eighteen years old.
