Variety Show “Zhong Guo Hao Sheng Yin”(the Voice of China)

Zhong Guo Hao Sheng Yin(The Voice of China),also called “Sing!China” is a phenomenal variety show, which has been enthusiastically sought after by the audience since its inception. The unique form of performance of the program, and the way of performance that no one has heard it before, is also a challenge to the audience and guests. In past posts, we learned about the existence of The Voice of China through the most popular variety shows. This post will give you a detailed introduction to this variety show.

Origin of the show

“The Voice of China” is an inspirational professional music review program launched by Zhejiang Satellite TV.
The program invites star mentors to teach by words and deeds, and provide a group of talented musicians with dreams and talents for the development of the Chinese music scene. The four instructors selected their favorite students to form a team through blind selection, and led their teams to compete with each other on music within and between teams.
In 2010, “The Voice of Holland” was broadcast, attracting 18.2% of the total population of the Netherlands; in September of the same year, Zhejiang Satellite TV noticed the program.
In 2011, Zhejiang Satellite TV negotiated copyright with IPCN International Media, a copyright introduction company. Later, Canxing Productions also had an interest in the program. IPCN faced the reserved Zhejiang Satellite TV on one side and the old customer on the other, and finally proposed to let the two cooperate and reached an agreement. A form of “co-investment, copyright sharing, co-production, risk sharing, profit sharing” to some extent.

The Voice of China

The name “The Voice of China” came from Xia Chenan, director of Zhejiang Satellite TV, and came up with it at the gate of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. The name declared at the beginning was “Voice of China”. The original version of “Voice of China” was called “Voice of the Netherlands” and “Voice of Germany”, but the name was rejected by the General Administration on the grounds that there was a radio station called “Voice of China” . Xia Chenan thought about a lot of names at the entrance of the General Administration, and even thought of “The Voice of China Dream”, because Zhejiang Satellite TV has a “China Dream Show”. “The Voice of China” is the result of Xia Chenan’s urgency at this time. It is simple and catchy.
The name of Zhejiang Satellite TV’s program is patented, and the patent is in the hands of Zhejiang Satellite TV. The intellectual property rights of the five-character Chinese name of “The Voice of China” belong to Zhejiang Satellite TV; and because the trademark with the word “China” cannot be registered, Therefore, Zhejiang Satellite TV’s Blue Star Company registered the trademark of the three words “Good Voice”, so the trademark rights of the three words “Good Voice” also belong to Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Program Mode

“The Voice of China” is not “separation of production and broadcasting” in the traditional sense. The simple separation of production and broadcasting means that the broadcasting platform buys the film from the producer, and the broadcasting platform does not care about the intermediate production process. And Zhejiang Satellite TV participated in “The Voice of China” from beginning to end, no matter the program planning, arranging, or program promotion, as well as the approval of the government and higher-level departments, to finding players, production, and post-processing, Zhejiang Satellite TV is involved in the entire line. Zhejiang Satellite TV conducts the overall operation of the program.
The video and production of “The Voice of China” involved more than 400 people, of which more than 200 were from Canxing Productions, who were mainly responsible for execution, while Zhejiang Satellite TV dispatched some editors and directors to be responsible for post-production and broadcast.

The Voice of China Reviews

The success of “The Voice of China Season 1” is not only because it found a “good voice” that can sing, but more because of its program form and the innovation of the program producers. It breaks through the previous program form and adopts a new program form: the judges are no longer judges teachers in a simple sense, and the judges have become “mentors”. Players are no longer the ones who are eliminated by the judges. They can use their singing to impress the four mentors and make them turn around. After turning around, they can choose the team they like or want to join. (Review of Today Media)
“The Voice of China” is committed to conveying patriotic feelings and national pride with singing, insisting on breaking the restrictions of age and appearance, and not using poisonous judges and fans to vote for gimmicks. Adhere to finding the most beautiful sound to truly present the pursuit and love of all beings in music, provide a professional stage for the souls who love music to sing their dreams, and create a positive energy model for Chinese music variety shows. The four instructors of “The Voice of China 2018” embody the show’s consistent belief in music: persistence, firmness, optimism, and self-confidence. In the show, Chinese music elements are injected into the classic repertoire, which refreshes the audience. (NetEase Entertainment Review)
The “original track” opened for the first time in “The Voice of China 2020” has become the biggest highlight of the competition system. Original singers work hard to write their own songs. They are not alone, although compared to the classic songs in the Chinese pop music scene, these original works may still be obvious. It is young, but it sings the voice of the times. Only by building more platforms for these works can we inspire more young people to have the motivation to record the life and feelings of this era. (Xinmin Evening News Review)
