"Million-million Big Program Shows on Phoenix Channel, Four Celebrity Mentors Sing the Voice"

"The luxury singing program "The Voice of China", which has a production fee of up to HK$1 million per episode, was launched after more than two months of careful production. The ratings of the first episode reached a record 61 points, far exceeding the "Happy Tonight" of this episode. It is reported that the advertising fee for the second episode of "The Voice of China" has increased by five times, becoming the most expensive variety show in history."

"Never a program has caused such a sensation. After the first episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, the next day, the entire Hong Kong was discussing the mentors and singers in the program. Among the four mentors, Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni were both top female singers in Hong Kong. It is rare to let go of their figure and be funny in the program. After the broadcast of "The Voice of China", their fame and value have been rising. Su Rui was not very popular in Hong Kong, but now the appearance fee is almost close to Alan Tam..."

"How to do entertainment programs with educational significance? "The Voice of China" has done this. It inspires young people to strive for their dreams and is a program with a strong sense of social responsibility. Phoenix TV is also a TV station with humanistic spirit and positive spirit."

——"Wenhui Daily"

"Phoenix TV's programs are always big, and the stage of "The Voice of China" is even far beyond "Miss Hong Kong Competition". Lighting and audio are completely the specifications of small concerts. It is reported that although the ratings of the first episode of "The Voice of China" soared, it lost 500,000 yuan in one episode. However, due to the increase in advertising fees, the second episode of "The Voice of China" will achieve excess profit."

——"Ming Pao Weekly"

"After our investigation, Zhang Weijian, the popular contestant in the first episode of "The Voice of China", participated in the Chinese Rookie Singing Grand Prix held by Huaxing Records a few months ago, and ended in the top 30. Many people know that the current new star Anita Mui is Kang Jianfei's keen eye to recognize the beads. She was poached after she was eliminated by the Chinese Rookie Singing Grand Prix. Could it be that Zhang Weijian became the second Anita Mui? Huaxing Records and TVB always leave Mingzhu behind."

——"Entertainment Weekly"

"According to a former teacher of a singer named Zhang, the singer's grades are very poor, and it is impossible to get into college. Moreover, the singer named Zhang is very cruel and brave and often bullies his classmates at school... The singer named Zhang once joined the school football team. Because he played too badly, he was fired by his coach. He was just a bad person who could not do anything."

——"Xiangjiang Morning Post"

After the first episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, Hong Kong instantly set off a wave of good voices.

At this time, the first round of Sino-British negotiations ended. The good news made Hong Kong's economy pick up, and people were not as scared as they were in the past two months. The four mentors of "The Voice of China" are all big singers with many fans. With the promotion of the TV station more than a month in advance and the attractiveness of the four mentors, coupled with the novel competition mode and tear point attack, the first episode broadcasted the ratings to beat "Happy Tonight", which has the highest ratings in ten years.

When the streets and alleys were discussing "The Voice of China", the media finally joined in the fun and reported on the program overwhelmingly.

There are also opposite criticisms among the crowd of cheers, such as "The Voice of China" is a good Chinese actor, a singer is not singing but acting, etc.

The most outrageous thing is the Xiangjiang Morning Post. This newspaper seems to be having a fight with Phoenix Platform, and then took the opportunity to throw out Zhang Weijian's dirty water.

Huang Xizhao was not idle this time. After receiving the call from Kang Jianfei, he immediately sent someone to collect the signature certificates of Zhang Weijian's former teachers and classmates, and then prepared to file the Xiangjiang Morning Post in court and demand that he compensate the program team of the "Voice of China" and Zhang Weijian himself a total of HK$6 million.

When answering a reporter's question, Huang Xizhao said: "Some newspapers have no professional bottom line at all, and they speak nonsense and slander. Although the Xiangjiang Morning Post did not name it, the 'singer named Zhang' is obviously talking about Zhang Weijian. It is unbearable. This newspaper has repeatedly provoked for sales. Phoenix TV will resort to legal means to resolve it. Even if the lawsuit cannot be won, Phoenix TV will continue to fight. If you can't win a year, you will fight for three to five years. I want to see if the little money earned by the Xiangjiang Morning Post is enough for hundreds of millions of lawyer fees!"

As soon as Huang Xizhao's words came out, all of her colleagues knew that the Hong Kong Morning Post was over.

A newspaper can indeed increase sales by playing edge balls and spreading rumors. When there is no exact person specified, it is difficult for the slander to win a lawsuit. Not only will it not win, but the lawsuit will also increase the exposure of the newspaper and make the sales of the newspaper better.

But if the victim is determined to lose both sides and fight a bastard lawsuit for many years, large newspapers can still bear it. The money earned by tabloids like Xiangjiang Morning Post cannot afford the high lawyer's fees that have not been played without playing.

Sometimes you cannot give in. The more you give in, the more you become more and more arrogant you will be. Only by killing a chicken to warn the monkey is a wise choice.

Just like in the Taiwan TV industry after the 1990s, many famous people talked nonsense on the show, spread rumors, slander or expose other celebrities and companies to attract attention and increase viewership.

However, some companies and celebrities have been listed on the list of banned criticism by Taiwan TV stations.

Why?

Because as long as you talk about these people and the company on the show, the other party will immediately send a lawyer's letter to ask for an apology, and if you don't apologize, you will sue you in court. As a result, the TV station and famous speakers will be scared and will not dare to say bad things about them.

The same is true for the Xiangjiang Morning Post. This newspaper, which has an average sales volume of only a few thousand copies, does not have the courage to fight with Phoenix Station at all. It can't hold on before the lawsuit has started, so it takes the initiative to look for Phoenix Station to seek private settlement.

After the "friendly negotiation" between the two sides, Xiangjiang Morning Post promised to compensate the "Voice of China" program team for 100,000 yuan and Zhang Weijian's reputation losses of 30,000 yuan. He also issued an apology announcement on the front page for a week, privately promising that he would not report any news that was unfavorable to Phoenix Taiwan in the future.

Zhang Weijian received 30,000 yuan in vain, which was so happy. After the show was broadcast, as the most popular singer in the first episode, there were more than 20 nightclubs in a few days, and the bars sent olive branches and invited him to sing on the resident song at a high price.

Not only that, there are even record companies that want to secretly sign Zhang Weijian away in private and promise to start releasing records immediately after signing the contract.

Of course, Zhang Weijian is not a fool. "The Voice of China" has not been recorded yet and the good show is still coming, so he will not be so stupid that he signed to other companies halfway. What's more, the program team communicated with him, so he can not only sign Fengxing Records, but also have the opportunity to join Phoenix Channel as an actor.

The second episode of "The Voice of China" will soon usher in. The popular singer of this episode is Lu Fang. In the parallel space, this person will be the champion of next year's Rookie Singer Grand Prix. In the 1980s, he was focused on being trained by the record company and has always been Jacky Cheung's best friend. Later, he also fell in love with Cheng Yuling for more than ten years.

After Lu Fang came on stage, he did not use any tragic offensive, and he won applause and the competition between the four mentors by relying solely on his singing skills.

By the way, the second episode of "The Voice of China" was also recorded at Taiping Theater, with more than 1,800 viewers, all of which were tickets several times the price of the movie, and the scale was equivalent to the sole concert of second-tier singers.

When the second episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, few people on the streets in Hong Kong saw it, and it had already achieved the effect of "Chu Liuxiang" when it was hit, and it could definitely be called a crowd of people. The data of the second episode of "The Voice of China" was quickly counted and reached a terrifying 73 ratings.

It was not only a sensation in Hong Kong, because there were also audiences from Phoenix Channel in Southeast Asia and Macau. After the second episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, Nanyang and Macau also received strong responses. Many people who like to sing in Nanyang and Macau called or wrote to Phoenix Channel to ask whether overseas audiences could sign up. They were even more impulsive to take a boat and fly to Hong Kong.

The media in Nanyang and Macau could not hold back anymore and began to report on the program "The Voice of China". Local TV also sought to buy the copyright of the rebroadcast of "The Voice of China".

Some TV stations also started to copy "The Voice of China". For example, Malaysia's national TV station gave "The Voice of Star Horse", but the ratings were ugly after it was made. The reason is very simple. The stage of the copycat program is too small, the lighting and sound equipment is too frustrated, the contestants have not been trained, and the number of cameras is only one-third of that of "The Voice of China". Viewers who are used to watching the excellent production of "The Voice of China" are not interested in cheap copycat programs at all.

When the preparations for "The Voice of China" were just beginning, many people on Phoenix Station secretly mocked Kang Jianfei for spending too much money, especially after losing more than 500,000 in the first episode, this argument became even more rampant.

Now more than a dozen TV stations in Nanyang and Macau have come to purchase the right to re-broadcast, which immediately made Phoenix TV station earn a huge amount of re-broadcast revenue after earning a generous advertising fee, and the people who said strange words disappeared immediately.

However, there is no report on this in Taiwan, perhaps because Phoenix TV has been included in the left-wing list by the Taiwan News Agency.

...

Compared to the joy on the other side of the Phoenix Platform, Fang Yihua often loses her temper with nerves.

In fact, in terms of overall viewership, Phoenix TV is still slightly inferior to TVB, with the rating share ratio of the two companies being 4.6 to 5.4.

Because "The Voice of China" is broadcast on Monday, while TVB's "Happy Tonight" is broadcast on Saturday, the overall viewership advantage is that wireless stations still have the advantage.

What made Fang Yihua feel anxious is that due to the popularity of "The Voice of China" and "Happy 60 Points", some loyal audiences of TVB variety shows are gradually losing to Phoenix TV.

In the office of the Variety Show Production Department of the TVB Station, Fang Yihua slapped the table and shouted: "I want a new program, which can defeat the new program of "The Voice of China", I will find a way for me immediately!"
