Chapter 94

The minute hand of the clock hanging from the wall firmly pointed straight down at the number “6”.

At 06:30, the live recording of Beijing Satellite TV’s first live talent show “Singing China” has officially began!

The atmosphere in the backstage of the studio immediately became tense.

On the ultra-wide screen, it first showed the broadcast hall, followed by the host entrance.

Beijing Satellite TV boldly casted a new host named Zhao Zhe to host the popular talent show. He was a little nervous and excited, but soon entered a normal state.

After a passionate opening statement, Zhao Zhe looked straight ahead.

“Next, let’s give a round of warm applause to the first judge of “Singing China” tonight!”

The 1,500-seat auditorium was already full of people. The host’s voice had just fallen, and immediately there was a flood of applause to welcome the judges.

Beijing Satellite TV has done a good job in the selection of judges. They did not publicize it as early as other colleagues. They used the reputation of the judges to brew up some hype, and deliberately maintain a sense of mystery, leaving suspense to the audience.

No one doubts the strength and connections of Beijing Satellite TV. The judges they invited must be heavyweight figures. And if Beijing Satellite TV does a good job in keeping secrets, then everyone will naturally make all kinds of guesses, discuss it in blogs, post bars, forums, and so on, so as to form enough topic.

In terms of publicity, although Beijing Satellite TV is fighting with Xiangnan Satellite TV, it has not lost much ground.

The announcement of the identity of the four judges is undoubtedly the highlight of the live broadcast of the first qualifying match in the Beijing Division this evening.

Therefore, the applause from the audience was very enthusiastic.

The lighting of the studio suddenly went out, and the whole stage was plunged into darkness.

After a moment, a bright spotlight hit the center of the stage from top to bottom.

It fell on a man.

With his back to the audience, he stood tall and upright. The huge background screen showed the logo of “Singing China”.

The whole studio quieted down in an instant.

The host, Zhao Zhe, stood in the dark, but his voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

“He has an unbelievable superhuman talent…”

“He is a famous singer in Asia…”

“He has won numerous awards!”

“His song, which accompanied a generation, is still a classic…”

“He is…”

The big screen suddenly showed an explosion, accompanied by an intense and incomparable sound. Then, two golden characters leaped out!

“Tan Hong!”

Tan Hong, the first judge of “Singing China”, is actually Tan Hong!

Nobody thought of it. Everyone was surprised by it!

The lights were all bright, and applause that had just calmed down rang out again and became more and more fierce, forming a storm that was about to lift the roof.

Many of the audience stood up and applauded while shouting Tan Hong’s name.

Tang Hong was born in the early 1970s. He began to learn music at a very young age. At the age of 17, he won the championship of the National Youth Singing Competition and has since embarked on a brilliant career ever since.

It has been 25 years since his debut. He has produced 17 original albums, of which the album “Flying Pigeon” sold more than 5 million copies in 1999, which is regarded as the last brilliant sale of pop music record.

Although Tan Hong is not very handsome, his voice is highly recognizable and his creative talent is outstanding. Many of his best-selling albums are personally arranged by him. He has written many classic works, such as “Flying Pigeon”, “After the Rain”, “Endless Prodigal Son”, “Remembering Our Time Together”, “Passion” and so on.

When he turned around with a smile under the spotlight, the atmosphere reached its climax!

In the backstage of the studio, many contestants and groups of relatives and friends stood up.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the TV screen.

“Tan Hong, it’s actually Tan Hong!”

“I like Tan Hong’s songs the most. I really thought he would be a judge!”

“Beijing Satellite TV is awesome!”

“I’d like an autograph…”

Among the excited crowd, there is Lu Chen.

He is also a fan of Tan Hong!

Lu Chen didn’t expect that Tan Hong would be a judge, and he didn’t know what method Beijing Satellite TV had used.

Although Tan Hong has been very popular for more than ten years, he has an indifferent temperament. He does not like to join the fun, and basically does not participate in variety show. Personally, he has always been loyal and loving towards his wife, and there has not been any scandal.

He hasn’t even shot a few commercials in 25 years.

Therefore, Tan Hong being a judge on the “Singing China” will certainly be on the entertainment headlines tomorrow!

After years of holding back, Beijing Satellite TV finally came up with a big move.

Although Tan Hong has been almost semi-retired in recent years, his popularity remains unshakable, especially among the people in the 1970s and 1980s, there were the most loyal fans.

It must be noted that Tan Hong first signed a contract with Juxing Agency. He was cultivated by Jin Hongwei until he later fell out with the industry big shot. At that time, the lawsuit caused a lot of noise and caused a stir all over the country.

With Tan Hong’s character and personality, he was so resolute and was driven beyond forbearance.

Tan Hong, who is in his forties, is in the most attractive period of a successful man. He is no longer young, but his smile is still sincere, his eyes are still bright, and he is still so graceful.

This brought back memories to countless people!

It can even be said that at the moment of Tan Hong’s appearance, “Singing China” has already achieved initial success.

After Tan Hong took his seat, an LED light at the top of the stage lit up, showing his name.

The applause continued, and the lights in the studio went out again.

The host, Zhao Zhe, then began to introduce the second judge.

The previous Tan Hong has completely satisfied everyone’s appetite, so who will the second judge be?

Will it be overshadowed by Tan Hong?

No one knows the answer now.

“Her singing is well-known to us…”

“Her beauty is one of the most beautiful scenery in pop music world…”

“She has set the highest record sales of female singers in China, and has not been broken yet!”

“She is the young junior sister of Mr. Tan Hong!”

“She is…”

“Chen Fei’er!”

Her name hasn’t yet been displayed on the background screen, but many people in the audience have already shouted out.

“Chen Fei’er!”

The second judge of “Singing China” is Chen Fei, the famous Jade Maiden! (TN: Jade can also be translated as beautiful and maiden as woman. As of now, I’m not sure on her title.)

Speaking of this pop star, she is known to everyone and nobody doesn’t know her. Chen Fei is famous for singing sweet songs and love songs. Her voice is sweet and moving. Her album has made many achievements.

Different from Tan Hong, after entering the Internet age, Chen Fei’er is still active in the entertainment industry, and is developing in the field of film and television. She has appeared in many blockbusters, and is also the spokesperson of many big brands.

However, what people are most interested in talking about is the brother-sister friendship between her and Tan Hong. The relationship between them is extremely good, but there has not been any gossip. Moreover, if Tan Hong did not give her full support when she wanted to cancel her contract with Juxing Agency, it would not be so easy for Chen Fei’er to get out of the contract.

When Chen Fei’er’s personal studio opened, Tan Hong even invited more than a dozen bigwigs in the circle to join in.

As the second judge, she instantly dispelled everyone’s concerns.

There is a small joke circulating in the entertainment industry, saying that Tan Hong is the person Jin Hongwei hates the most, but if Tan Hong is willing to return to Juxing Company, then Jin Hongwei can directly kneel to meet him!

“Fei’er!”

Tan Hong apparently didn’t know that Chen Fei’er would be here. He stood up in astonishment and quickly returned to the big stage: “What are you doing here?”

Chen Fei’er is over thirty, but she looks like she’s in her 20’s. She smiled sweetly, hugged Tan Hong with open arms, and said, “They said you were going to be one of the judges, so I also agreed to be one of the judges.”

Two simple words, but these words reflected the friendship between the two.

The applause was thunderous, and many fans even shed tears of excitement, because they had seen this scene many times before and had long been in their memory.

Now it’s happening again.

Tan Hong and Chen Fei’er convinced countless of people that in addition to love, there is also a real friendship between men and women!

A friendship comparable to that of family!
