Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 242, The Three Olsen Sisters [asking for monthly tickets, subscribing]

New York, USA.

“(English) Change the channel quickly, I want to watch The Voice of America.” Elizabeth Olsen said as she anxiously urged her sister who was holding the TV remote control.

“The Voice of America? Is that the variety show that invited four superstars to participate?” asked the eldest sister Ashley Olsen.

“Has it started already?” asked the second sister Mary-Kate Olsen.

The two had some impression of the show, but they were so busy recently that they didn’t pay much attention to the specific broadcast time.

Elizabeth looked at her two sisters and replied, “Yes, the first episode will be aired tonight. Didn’t you know?”

After hearing what her sister said, Ashley raised her hand and patted her head gently. With a faint smile on her face, she said, “We have been very busy recently. How can we have the leisure time like you to pay attention to these things?”

Mary Kate pursed her lips and said, “I remember that the initiator of this program seemed to be Shen Lang.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Elizabeth’s eyes flashed with brilliance and she said, “Yes, it’s him.”

Ashley saw her sister’s reaction and immediately joked, “Oh my, our good sister is in love.”

Elizabeth blushed instantly when she heard this, and she muttered, “Sister, don’t talk nonsense.”

Mary-Kate saw this and reached out to touch her sister’s head, saying with some seriousness: “But seriously, he is really charming.”

Ashley restrained her smile and said seriously: “He is not only charming, but also very capable. Whether in music creation or company operations, he has made many remarkable achievements. He is a very capable person.” She nodded as she spoke, obviously recognizing Shen Lang’s abilities.

In the original time and space, the three Olsen sisters were famous sisters among American actresses. They were both talented and beautiful, and they were very successful in the music, film and television, and fashion circles.

Ashley and Mary-Kate are twins, born in 1986. They are 18 years old this year, three years older than Elizabeth.

Although Elizabeth’s acting career started in 1994, what really made her famous among the public was her role as “Scarlet Witch” in the 2015 science fiction action film “Avengers: Age of Ultron”. It was also this role that made her well-known in China and earned her the nickname “Ao Mei”.

And her two sisters are much more powerful than her.

They are involved in film, television, records, photo albums and other industries. On the day they turned 18 this year, they were officially appointed as the president of Double Star Entertainment Group, and each of them has control over a fortune of $1.5 million.

Double Star Entertainment Group is headquartered in Los Angeles. This huge entertainment group has a very wide range of business, including all their books, DVDs, dolls, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and other products.

Although Olsen made her debut at the age of 15, she has not acted in any other movies since she starred in “West Side Story” at the age of 5. Her main task now is to go to school well.

In the past two years, the celebrity that students in American universities have talked about the most is Shen Lang.

She also got to know Shen Lang through chatting with her friends. At that time, Shen Lang had just released his first English album “Shen Lang Towering Waves”, so she bought a copy and listened to it. She found it quite good. The moving melody and soulful singing attracted her at once.

Then she began to get to know Shen Lang more deeply, from his musical style, to his acting experience, to his various deeds in the entertainment industry, etc. She knew him in great detail, and the more she knew, the more she appreciated Shen Lang.

So, when Shen Lang’s tour came to New York this time, she went to watch it live. When she personally felt Shen Lang’s radiant charm on the stage, her original pure appreciation was filled with a bit of admiration.

Just then, Ashley switched the TV channel and asked, “By the way, is he on this show?”

Mary-Kate blinked, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Is there…?”

After saying this, the two of them looked at their sister in tacit understanding, their eyes seemed to be saying, since you pay so much attention to him, you must know.

Ao Mei was stunned for a moment, then answered uncertainly: “Should, seems, maybe… no.”

This variety show only mentioned in the early promotion that Shen Lang was the initiator of “Searching for Good Voices”, and that’s all. He did not appear in the promotional video that has been aired, so he will most likely not appear in the show.

Ashley shrugged helplessly and said, “Well, it looks like we won’t see him anymore.”

Mary-Kate sighed and said with some regret: “Alas, I still wanted to hear him sing, but it seems that it won’t work.”

As they were talking, the much anticipated “The Voice of America” ​​officially kicked off.

“Whitney Houston released her first album, Whitney Houston, in 1985. The album topped the Billboard album chart for 14 weeks and became the best-selling debut album by a female singer with sales of 2500 million copies…”

“Don Henley, The Eagles is an American rock band formed in the early 1970s. They are known for their outstanding musical talent and widespread popularity and are considered one of the most outstanding rock bands in the United States and even the world…”

“George Strait, country music singer, songwriter, actor and music producer, is one of the most influential country singers in the 80s and 90s…”

“Q-Tip, a core member of the Tribe group, is known for his innovative music production and fusion of jazz, leading the Hip-Hop revolution in the 90s…”

After a brief introduction, four mentors made their debut.

When they appeared on the stage, the audience, whether they were at the scene or in front of the TV, were all extremely excited.

After all, these four are all superstars in the American music scene, or even in the world music scene.

Mary-Kate analyzed: “This combination has all the styles, including pop, rock, country, and hip-hop.”

Ashley was amazed and said, “It’s really hard to get them together to participate in a show.”

Ao Mei nodded in agreement with her two sisters.

At this time, Whitney Houston, Don Henley, George Strait, and Q-Tip on the stage had already greeted everyone warmly, and then briefly talked about why they were willing to participate in this show.

And they all mentioned one person in their conversations – Shen Lang. It was Shen Lang’s sincerity that touched them.

However, this is only a more official statement. After all, the main reason is that the money given is enough.

No one has a problem with money. If there is, it’s because it’s too little.

Then, a melodious and rhythmic music slowly sounded, and the four mentors on the stage were ready to sing the theme song of “The Voice of America” ​​for everyone.

The three Olsen sisters, who were originally chatting, immediately became quiet and stared at the TV screen intently.

When subtitles containing the song information appeared on the screen, their eyes widened immediately.

【——《Crazy》Lyrics: Shen Lang

Composer: Shen Lang

Arranger: Shen Lang]

No wonder he is the initiator of the program and even took care of the theme song.

Among the three sisters, the happiest one is naturally Ao Mei, who was able to hear Shen Lang’s new song for the first time.

The only pity is that it wasn’t Shen Lang who sang it himself.

Henry Don: “I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
I’ll always remember the day I went crazy
lost my mind
Lose your mind, go crazy

There was something so pleasant about that phase
You and I had a wonderful time.
Even your emotions had an echo In so much space
Even if we are far apart, I can still hear your echo…”

As expected of the Eagles band’s soul, his mellow and penetrating voice instantly caught everyone’s ears.

The same goes for Whitney Houston, George Strait and Q-Tip; it’s an ultimate enjoyment the moment they open their mouths.

“Crazy” is a song written and sung by the original British band Gnarls Barkley. It was released on March 2006, 3. It describes a man who lost his lover, and a series of moods from sadness to awakening. Through the song, the author expresses the changes in his mood after the breakup, from anger, relief, blessing to irony.

At that time, the song won the sales champion of the British pop music chart download, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. It also became the theme song of the first season of “The Voice of America” ​​in 2011 sung by the four mentors.

Since there were ready-made songs, Shen Lang didn’t look for other songs.

Just as everyone was immersed in the singing of the four mentors, a voice suddenly interrupted the singing and took over the chorus of the song.

“Does that make me crazy
Is this making me lose my mind?

Does that make me crazy
Is this making me lose my mind?

Does that make me crazy
Is this making me lose my mind?

Possibly
possible. “

Olsen stared at the TV screen with a look of deep surprise in her eyes.

Ashley and Mary-Kate’s mouths were slightly open, with a look of surprise on their faces.

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were both surprised and astonished.

That’s right, the voice that suddenly appeared was Shen Lang’s.

But if it was just the sound, it wouldn’t be such a surprise.

The reason why it caused such a strong reaction was that Shen Lang himself appeared on the stage.

His appearance seemed to bring his own light, and he instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention, while pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

This episode was recorded more than a month ago. In order to create maximum topic popularity when it is broadcast, the program team carefully planned this segment.

When Shen Lang heard this design plan, he found it to be exactly the way he liked, so he readily agreed to it.

Because the show is good to watch, gets high ratings and is loved by everyone, that is a good thing for everyone.

Amid the crazy screams of the audience, the five people on the stage sang the last part of the song in unison: “Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe you’re crazy
Maybe you’re crazy
Maybe we’re crazy
Maybe we’re all crazy.
probably
possible. “

At this moment, the picture presented on the TV screen is really shocking.

Shen Lang was seen standing in the middle, with four singers who held important positions in the American music scene standing next to him. Now appearing here together, this scene could be listed as the most exciting scene in the world music scene in 2004.

Ashley stared at the TV without blinking and couldn’t help saying, “His singing voice is really nice. His voice and singing skills are really amazing. And you can see, his aura is not inferior to those senior singers at all.”

Mary-Kate didn’t know why, but she suddenly said, “It seems like it would be nice to date an Oriental man like him.”

As soon as she said this, Ao Mei, who was sitting next to her, exclaimed in surprise, widened her eyes and said, “Sister, are you kidding?”

Mary Kate laughed when she heard it, waved her hand and said, “I was just teasing you. I’m not going to snatch it from you. Look how anxious you are.”

When Ao Mei heard this, she immediately pursed her lips and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: “Oh, you are talking nonsense again, really.”

And her face turned red again involuntarily because of her second sister’s teasing.

At this time, the theme song was finished, and the audience in the audience instantly became excited. They stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs, “One more song.”

Everyone knows that this is probably the only time that Shen Lang will sing together with singers like Whitney Houston, Don Henley, George Strait, and Q-Tip.

So, even though this was a recording program, the assistant director had explained various precautions before recording, such as keeping quiet, following the process, etc., but who cares about those now?

Fortunately, the staff of the program crew reacted quickly and ran out to control the situation immediately. They waved their arms to signal everyone to be quiet, and said some words to calm everyone through the microphone. After a lot of effort, they finally did not let the scene get out of control.

After the audience quieted down, the program could continue recording.

With a smile on his face, Shen Lang spoke in a very official manner about the slogan of finding good voices, which was basically to encourage more good American voices to participate in this program. After that, he walked off the stage.

Of course, this is what happened during the recording. What you see on TV now is the edited footage, which skips the part where the staff controlled the scene.

Seeing Shen Lang leave, the three Olsen sisters felt a little reluctant and all sighed.

Although he came and sang, it was over before I could fully enjoy it. It can be described in four words – short and weak.

But then again, his brief appearance added a lot to the watchability. Both his singing and his interaction with other mentors made the atmosphere of the entire show more lively and exciting, and attracted the audience to continue watching with greater engagement.

While everyone was still immersed in the surprise Shen Lang had just brought, the first Voice student appeared. (End of this chapter)
