1979 Golden Age

August 13th.

evening.

Zhou Huimin had been restless since early in the morning, hesitant to speak, and even wanted to escape from the house. The mother didn't notice anything strange about her daughter, so she prepared dinner as usual and invited her to eat.

The family was poor, and her mother tried her best to create material conditions for her, and would also improve the food from time to time. Tonight, there was an extra dish of meat.

Zhou Huimin picked up a chopstick and couldn't feel the taste. There was a fierce battle in her mind, so she said: "Mom, the sound was broadcast today, can we take a look? I heard it's very fun."

"you..."

My mother was about to object, but she felt that the summer vacation was long and she had to relax occasionally. She asked, "What time does it start?" "Eight o'clock!"

"You study for an hour!" "Yeah!"

Zhou Huimin hurriedly picked up the rice, helped wash the dishes after eating, and went into the room to study. At 7:30, she came out, grabbed her clothes and sat on the sofa, as if she was ready to run away at any time.

"What's wrong with you?" "It's okay!" "It's weird!"

My mother tuned into the ATV channel. After the news, there was GG, followed by the pilot film of "The Voice". A reporter ran into the studio, introduced the stage, the instructor's chair, and even sat on it to try it out.

"Everyone is curious about what a blind audition is like. Now let me reveal it. If the instructor hears the voice he likes, he will click this button!" Bang!

"It turns out to be like this!" The mother suddenly realized. "ah?"

Zhou Huimin reacted slowly: "Oh, it turned out to be a transfer! I thought the blind selection was blindfolded." "I also thought it was blindfolded. This is interesting!" Her mother became interested.

"Yeah, it'll look good."

Zhou Huimin spread her arms over her head, stroking her chest and gasping for breath. I think I'd better run away from home. "Oops!"

In the TVB building, the rookie singing competition competition was also counting down nervously. The producer was staring at the scene and at the same time staring at a TV, which was playing ATV programs. Everyone watched the reporter's demonstration and felt bad.

"It's so annoying! There are so many things involved in a singing competition, what should we do?" "There is no way to change it at this time, let's go ahead with the rehearsal!"

at the same time.

In the ATV building, Li Zhuanglie was also staring at the program and the TV. As the time approached, it was almost 8 o'clock. "Countdown!"

"5,4,3,2,1!"

Almost at the same second, the opening music of ATV's "The Voice" and TVB's "Rookie Singing Competition" sounded together, and the two pictures rotated and shone in front of Li Zhuanglie's eyes.

The two sides have been fighting for who knows how many years, and they know each other's ins and outs.

The arrival of Chen Qi has suddenly transformed ATV into an unconventional one. Li Zhuanglie has huge confidence in The Voice and will kill TVB this time! An ordinary house.

The 30-square-meter large house houses six people, including grandparents, parents, and two children, sleeping in bunk beds.

It is one of the countless Hong Kong families that is noisy and busy with life. The happiest time every day is when the whole family has dinner and watches TV together. "Watching TVB!"

"No, I want to watch ATV!"

"ATV is useless, I want to watch the Rookie Competition!" "If you don't want it, you don't want it, I want to watch The Voice!"

The brother and sister fought for the control of the TV until they started to fight. Grandma laughed, mother broke up the fight, and father lectured: "Okay! Everyone votes, and you can watch whichever one is better."

"Then watch TVB first!"

My brother, with his quick hands and quick eyes, tuned into TVB. Just as the program started, the host came on and sang along with Anita Mui standing on the cylinder. Everyone thought it was very fashionable. After she sang a few lines, her sister quickly came over and said, "Watch the sound!"

"Wow!"

As soon as the screen turned, a happy and cheerful atmosphere came to my face. I saw Zhong Zhentao wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket, and leather pants. He was a spirited 30-year-old guy, singing with his mouth wide open: "L-O-V-E!

L-O-V-E, la la la la...

This is a song by Winner's band. Winner mainly sings a cover of an English song. This song is also in English, but it was written and composed by Huang Ting. Zhong Zhentao sang two lines, followed by a broken gong voice: "I will not give you riches!" "Wow, Uncle Zhan!"

"Ye Zhentang!" "Lisa Du!"

The four people appeared one by one and began to sing: "L-O-V-E, la la la la...

This song is lively and dynamic, with a strong rhythm. It can heat up the place immediately. The audience does not need to be directed, they wave and cheer spontaneously. The whole family was just listening to the songs, but before they knew what was going on, the song ended and the melody started again.

"The Great Wall Will Never Fall" by Ye Zhentang!

The song is followed by Lisa Teresa's song, and the finale is Huang Zhan's song. And then back to "L-O-V-E, la la la la..." "Oh! They sing each other's songs!"

“This stage is so cool!”

This is the unique opening chorus of The Voice. In contrast, Anita Mui is still standing on that cylinder. My sister put her hands on her hips and said very arrogantly: "It's time to vote! Which one are you looking at?"

"Look at this, I want to see the blind audition." "This is exciting!"

The family expressed their opinions, but the elder brother said weakly: "I want to watch TVB!" but was ignored.

A family of six began to take a serious look at Good Voice.

After the four mentors finished singing, they sat down on the big red chairs. The host introduced the rules and asked, "Uncle Ting, what do you think of this competition system?" "I don't have any ideas. I'm just afraid that this chair will break and it will be embarrassing if it gets stuck halfway through turning."

"Then you can do this!"

Kenny Bee took over and demonstrated, using his legs to push the ground with a funny expression, turning the chair little by little, causing the audience to laugh. He went even further: "Or tell me and I'll help you!"

He really stood up, ran behind James Wong, and turned the chair manually. "Wow, just push me out onto the street!"

"Respect the old and love the young, you are the oldest here." "Hahaha!"

The whole family was very happy watching it, the mother said: "Ah B is so funny, why didn't I find him so funny before." "Yes, it's so funny!"

The elder brother was still trying: "Can you watch TVB for a while?" "I'll turn it for you!"

The younger sister was merciful and turned to TVB. Anita Mui changed her clothes and was still singing. The mother spoke first: "Oh, it's not good to watch, turn it back!" The four mentors flirted for a while, and the chairs turned around.

The first contestant came out.

A VCR was played, and Sandy Lam walked into the ATV building accompanied by her family. Next to it was her name, age, occupation, and her own narration: "My name is Sandy Lam, I live in North Point, and I am a radio DJ..."

"North Point? Where we are!" The whole family was surprised again.

This was added on purpose. Each contestant had to report the area where he lived. Hong Kong is a small place, and you can see each other if you look down. The neighborhood relationship is very important.

"My father is a erhu musician, and my mother likes to sing Shaoxing opera. Maybe it was influenced by my family, I like singing since I was a child. Today I bring you a song "Assorted Vegetables"!" In previous competitions, there has never been a program that gave contestants so many self-introductions, even parents appeared.

Sandy Lam emphasized her eyes, so she didn't look that small. The picture turned and she was already standing on the stage, with all four mentors facing away from her.

Looking forward from the stage, a close-up shot was given. The contestant couldn't see the mentors, but only faced four big red chairs. I wonder if they can turn around. With the depressing "dong dong" sound effect, the atmosphere was instantly full.
