A few days ago, a recording of Li Mincoco's account of the unfair treatment he encountered when participating in "The Voice of China" was exposed, which attracted great attention.

The online recording lasted for 9 minutes, and Li Min was very angry in his tone in the recording: "It doesn't matter if I sacrifice myself, I didn't expect that they were all a bunch of bad people, go and fix me, because I said the truth, I don't want my life, I just want to help these children, I said the format is not fair, the program group said that the format is like this, no mentor can change." ”

According to Li Min's recording, she had been diagnosed with breast cancer at the time.

Li Min also restored the truth of his fall on the stage of The Voice to his friend, almost choking up and saying that because of his serious leg disease he could not stand alone, he communicated with the program team and the trainees in advance, "I want him to stand by my side and support me." But when the final recording was made, the program team took the trainees cue away, causing Li Min to fall on the stage.

After that, it was suspected that Li Min's good voice fell and left the picture exposed, and Li Min was supported by the two to walk. In addition, netizens found Li Min to record the video of the day's program, and Li Min had a very painful expression when performing on stage.

After the recording of the program, Li Min underwent leg surgery, and the postoperative condition was not good, until this year, she was so painful that it was difficult to stand, and she could not even walk normally or live normally, and had to undergo a major operation.

After Li Min's recording was exposed, the spearhead was directed at the "The Voice of China" program group.

At 22:55 on August 17, the program team issued a statement on Weibo replying that the recording currently distributed on the online platform was "malicious editing by self-media accounts", and the misunderstanding between the program team and Li Min was eliminated at the time of communication, and there was no longer much explanation for this matter.

However, this response obviously failed to calm this public opinion controversy, and netizens did not buy the so-called "malicious editing" statement, (for details, please click: Is the audio of Li Min's accusation of "The Voice of China" a malicious editing?) ）。

Due to the many negative things in "The Voice of China", most netizens believe in the authenticity of the content Li Min complained about.

Moreover, netizens also found that the screenwriter and director of "The Voice of China 2022" responded to netizens on social platforms: "It's a pity, but who let her hinder our normal work, no way." ”

The response of the program group was also slapped in the face by Li Min's family. After the recording was exposed, some media contacted Li Min's eldest sister Li Qiulin and second sister Li Silin. The eldest sister responded that the recording was true: "The fact that Coco said it in the video, we will not respond." The second sister said: "We are still in the pain of losing loved ones, and we need time and space. ”

On August 18, the copyright owner of "The Voice of China" Star Chinese was unable to stop the downward trend after the stock price opened, once falling by more than 24%, and then fell again after a brief rebound in the afternoon, closing at HK $94.95 / share, a drop of 23.43% during the day, and the market value evaporated more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At the same time, The Voice students also spoke up. On the evening of August 17, student Li Jiajie posted on Weibo to support Li Min and broke the news of the unfair treatment he had suffered on The Voice of China: "First of all, I believe that 500,000 seats is not out of nowhere. Each big casting director in the program group has its own interests, and the top ten positions in the finals can be bought, and the amount is beyond your imagination. ”

The Weibo post was deleted 10 minutes later, and Li Jiajie immediately posted: "It's not me, it's not me who deleted it."

However, the next day, Li Jiajie issued a clarification on Weibo, saying: "The content of the Weibo I posted yesterday has no factual basis, and I once again apologize to all sectors of society and the recording team of The Voice of China, and also ask the majority of netizens to stop using false rumors." ”

On August 18, Xu Haixing, a contestant and singer of the first season of "The Voice of China", posted on Weibo to break the inside story of "The Voice of China", claiming that he was coerced into signing false contract terms when he participated in the competition.

A contestant who participated in the recording of the second season of "The Voice of China" in 2013 broke the news to the media, saying that he had been hinted at "100,000 yuan in sponsorship fees" by the program team.

On the 18th, a video of Li Min's denunciation at the scene of the program recording before his death was leaked, in which Li Min questioned that "The Voice of China" "is not a song selection". The program team staff tried to get started, and Li Min shouted "no one else touches me" and "everyone told me to calm down".

In 2012, "The Voice of China" swept the country as a phenomenal music show, and after more than a decade, although the name of the program changed and the program mentor lineup was adjusted, it would be broadcast every summer as scheduled and achieved good ratings.

However, the controversy surrounding The Voice has not stopped.

Someone turned out the interview content of Yang Kun, who had served as a mentor to The Voice, and Yang Kun had complained about the show more than once, saying that he would start acting in the second and third seasons, and he was a little pretending, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Another mentor, Liu Huan, also filed a lawsuit against The Voice of China in 2016, accusing the show of infringement and mostly for showmanship. Later, in "Three's Company", Liu Huan said that the recording of "The Voice of China" was basically from two o'clock in the afternoon to three or four o'clock in the morning, and her body could not eat it, and most of the stories or inspirational backgrounds of the students' self-exposed stories or success in the show were empty.

Eason Chan also exposed the shady scene of the program group in an interview program, saying that during the selection process, he heard a female trainee who was "not bad, but not up to the level of turning around at the key", because no one turned around, the female singer failed to advance. Unexpectedly, the female trainee appeared at the next rematch scene, Eason Chen recognized her voice, and did not turn around, but there was a urging instruction from the program group in her ears: "Press" "Press"...

At present, the Li Min recording incident is still fermenting. Many netizens shouted at The Voice sponsor official blog, asking sponsors to withdraw investment in the show.

However, "The Voice of China", which was on the cusp of the storm, was broadcast normally on the evening of the 18th. Whether this show will be discontinued as a result is unknown.
