Recently, China's music variety show "The Voice" fell into an unprecedented public opinion storm, and a series of unknown shady scenes were revealed, plunging this once beloved national show into a crisis of trust. The cause was the exposure of the recording of the late singer Li Min, and behind the shocking voice was a disturbing truth.
Against this turbulent background, a brave voice stood out, that is, Zhang Weiqi, a trainee of the first season of "The Voice". Her voice is like a fresh breeze, blowing away the fog of the show and evoking people's desire for justice. Zhang Weiqi was once Yang Kun's proud protégé, and Yang Kun's mentor in PK warfare was Li Min. This mentor-apprentice friendship has also become the driving force for revealing the truth.
On the evening of August 19, Zhang Weiqi posted a thought-provoking video on social platforms, and she did not hesitate to tell the inside story of the show. She confessed that she was not surprised by Li Min's recording, because she had long known some of the "truths" behind "The Voice". The reason why no one dared to speak out in the past was precisely because the power of the program side was huge and the influence was widespread, and no one could shake this huge camp.
Zhang Weiqi also deeply analyzed the main targets of netizens' accusations: Liu Li, Zhejiang Satellite TV and the program itself. She believes that Liu Li and the production team should be responsible for this, because they are directly involved in the production and decision-making of the program. As for Zhejiang Satellite TV, she believes that they only provide a broadcast platform and do not understand the inside story of the program. In addition, after the recording incident was exposed, the stock price of the parent company of "The Voice" plummeted, which also shows that netizens do maintain their sanity and clear heads.
Zhang Weiqi also revealed the truth about some of the incidents that had been circulated online. For example, regarding rumors that it would cost $500,000 to turn chairs, she pointed out that there was no such fact in the season she participated in. However, there is a requirement to sign a nine-year contract. If they refuse to sign a contract, the student will face the fate of being eliminated or downgraded. It was precisely because of such an insider story that Li Min's trainee Zhou Feige was forced to leave the competition. Li Min's straightforward personality made her unaware of these things, so she felt angry and unconvinced at the time.
What is even more shocking is that Zhang Weiqi confirmed that the backstories of the students in the show are actually made up. Unlike the image seen by the audience, most of these students are professional musicians or bar singers, not farmers, drivers or delivery guys like the show. These fictional stories are designed to resonate and sympathize with the audience and make the show more engaging.
Zhang Weiqi's voice has attracted widespread attention and discussion. Some thanked her for her courage and justice, some expressed support for her views, and some expressed concern for her safety. There is no doubt that Zhang Weiqi's brave actions have justified Li Wei and revealed the truth for the audience. However, the credibility and future of The Voice still depends on the attitude and actions of the programme. And Li Min's death makes people reflect, cherish the people and things around them, and don't let regrets become eternal regrets. This turmoil also warns us that there may be unimaginable stories hidden behind every show, and we should remain vigilant, pursue the truth, and defend justice.
