The music talent show The Voice of China has been controversial since its premiere in 2012. Audiences questioned it constantly, accusing the show of insider and scripting. It turns out that the control of capital makes the promotion of trainees no longer only based on talent, but by money. This makes the authenticity of the show questionable, and the script changes like flowing water.
In the 2014 season, Zhou Shen was highly regarded for his excellent singing ability, but he was eliminated in the competition, which was shocking. After eliminating Zhou Shen, Mentor Na Ying pretended to be reluctant, saying that he preferred another player, Li Wei. However, Li Wei has a huge disparity in strength compared with Zhou Shen, and this incident has aroused dissatisfaction and doubts from the audience. Netizens launched fierce criticism of Na Ying, even her family and children were not spared.
In 2022, Liao Changyong was invited as a mentor as a representative of the academy. However, he chose to leave because he could not stand the scripted nature of the show. Li Min took his place, but her zero-tolerance approach to the script sparked a farce. A dispute over the promotion places led Li Min to make a fuss on the show, questioning why the lower-scoring contestants had a second chance to advance, while the higher-scoring contestants did not. Li Min's anger forced the show to pause the recording.
This incident revealed the opacity in the production of the program. The recorded video is heavily edited and only a small portion of the content is broadcast. This is because the production of the program was influenced by capital during the recording process, resulting in repeated changes in the script. Even if the program is recorded, it may be re-recorded due to capital injection, resulting in a recording time far beyond normal. These clips and re-recordings result in viewers not seeing the real picture, but only the processed parts.
Na Ying, Wang Feng, Yang Kun and other veteran artists who have served as mentors for many years have been actively cooperating with the program group and interpreting changeable scripts. Tutor fees, while expensive, are actually a fraction of their income. More income comes from cooperating with the program team to complete the interpretation of the script, for example, the so-called "transfer fee" is as high as millions of yuan. This high fee is paid by the mentor in order to cooperate with the program group and advance layer by layer.
In short, The Rules and Production Process of The Voice of China are highly controversial. Every session is under the control of the program team, including the public jury, media representatives and national SMS voting. The setting of these rules has been accused of being unfair and ugly. Although the show has been criticized nationwide and even closed the comment section, it still continues to broadcast, seems to be unconcerned about the controversy, and continues to make profits by changing soup without changing medicine. This is a shameful situation, but it is also part of the real production of the program.
