Of course, the audience’s response was extremely enthusiastic. Everyone stood up and gave the warmest applause!
The exciting scene lasted for several minutes before it ended.
The host introduced the third judge.
Although the audiences very much hope that Beijing Satellite TV can continue to burst out surprises, but the two big superstar singers are clearly enough to suppress the scene. There is no need to add to the icing on the cake in this respect.
The third judge of “Singing China” is Zhen Zhen, the editor-in-chief of Pop Music magazine.
Over the past 30 years, the rise and fall of pop music in China has made great progress. Today’s market has expanded to a level that could not have been imagined before. The scale of the industry is quite huge, so popular music-related newspapers and magazines are not in the minority, and taking also into account the simultaneous distribution of ent.i.ties and networks.
And “Pop Music” magazine is undoubtedly one of the leading roles, and is recognized by the industry as the authoritative media.
Its editor-in-chief, Zhen Zhen, was once a famous musician and enjoyed a wide reputation in the industry.
The fourth judge is Lin Zhijie, the music director of Flying Stone Records.
Flying Stone Records is one of the most famous record companies in China. It has produced a number of Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen level singers. In the 1980s and 1990s, its sales in music tape and CD sales have been in the forefront of the industry.
After entering the Internet age of the new century, the emergence of a large number of new media, the management of Flying Stone Records suffered unprecedented difficulties, once facing the brink of bankruptcy.
Later, the old record company learned from the bitter experience, and tore away the bad a.s.sets and redundant personnel, followed the trend and lightly loaded into battle, opened up a variety of new business, and was able to revitalize.
In China and even in Asia, Flying Stone Records is still the most popular brand!
With two men and two women, two superstars plus two authoritative media representatives, Beijing Satellite TV has undoubtedly taken great pains to form a panel of judges, and its structure is perfect.
After the four judges had taken their seat, the first qualifying match of “Singing China” officially began.
According to the rules, the qualifying session also adopts the judges’ decision system. When the contestants come on stage and sing until the end, if three or four judges do not show a red light, they will pa.s.s and get the pa.s.s card successfully.
If two red lights are on, they will enter the waiting area, and the audience will vote to decide who gets the last three lucky places to make it into the semi-finals!
The first contestant was Zheng Kai from Beijing, a 24-year-old graduate from Northern Academy of Music. He opened with a song “Autumn Love Song” and won the applause of the audience. He pa.s.sed without a red light and got the first semi-finals pa.s.s card!
Then came the second and third…
