Mysterious Assistant of the Washed-Up Queen-Chapter 556 - 350: Going Live, Another Phenomenon?-3

The two pulled and tugged at each other, finally making their way out of the exit channel amidst Sister Hua and the others' suppressed laughter.

"What time does the show start? Can we still make it?"

"It's only six now, and it starts at eight. We've got plenty of time. Oh, what do you want to eat? Should we grab some food first?"

"Forget it, I've been on a plane all day; I'm a bit tired. Let's just go home. Yiyi has learned a few new dishes; she said she wants to show off her skills for you."

"Really? Then I'm in for a treat, thanks Yiyi!"

"Oh, Sister Qiu! You're making fun of me again. When did I say that? I clearly said I was cooking for everyone!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hmph!"

In such a cheerful atmosphere, the group quickly headed home.

The online world was already buzzing, especially under the official East Sea TV and "The Voice" accounts, where the number of comments was growing rapidly.

"I came here because I heard this program is really good? Is that true?"

"The recent promotions have been over the top; it's almost everywhere. How is it really? Does anyone know?"

"I've been to a live taping; it's really good, strongly recommend!"

"I don't know, but it's about to start; we'll know soon enough..."

Comments of various types kept refreshing, quickly filling up several 'floors' of the thread. Time ticked by, and it soon reached the broadcast time.

"Welcome to 'The Voice of China,' presented by Westwind Dairy!"

"This program is brought to you by Westwind Dairy, crafted with passion by Unlimited Entertainment, and specially broadcast by East Sea TV!"

"Mosen Home Goods, the legend of family life... Legendary Beverages... Pineapple Mobile..."

After a series of advertisements, the program officially began.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The show opened on a magnificent stage. Then, the stage lights quickly dimmed, leaving only spotlights shining on four luxurious chairs.

"Huh? What's this? Why are the chairs facing the audience?"

"Did I see that wrong? Are the chairs placed backwards?"

"There must be some special setup for this?"

With such questions, the audience's curiosity was quickly piqued.

A few seconds later, the stage lights flared to full brightness, and a figure strode out accompanied by music.

"Your and my burning love, transformed into the stars above, slowly filling the dreams of memories... Youyou, rowing the little boat, rocking and swaying, unwilling to wake..."

Zheng Qiuming was the first to perform, quickly eliciting huge cheers. Most of the audience in front of their TVs already knew what to expect, so there wasn't a huge reaction; instead, they listened intently.

After all four coaches had performed, the first contestant took the stage, and the audience experienced the full impact of the show's unique format for the first time.

"Damn! What does this mean? They really don't look at who it is, just listen to the voice?!"

"So this is what 'The Voice' means? Not judging by appearance but just listening to the voice?"

"Damn, that's amazing! Isn't this a godsend for voice lovers? If I'd known, I would've gone too!"

"Boohoo, isn't this a godsend for the less attractive? Even if you're not good-looking but have a great voice, you can perform on stage? This is what a real talent show should be, right?"

"Well, their voices are good, but they don't seem ugly... You probably wouldn't stand a chance..."

Regardless, with the first contestant's appearance, something unexpected happened. Within less than ten minutes of airing, "The Voice" grabbed its first trending spot on social media.

#TheVoiceJustListenNotSee#

With the topic trending and boosted by prior marketing, more curious viewers tuned in, and the viewership ratings skyrocketed.

The staff at East Sea TV stared in disbelief at the sharply climbing viewership curve, their faces etched with shock. Is this going to be a massive hit? Could this be another phenomenon? This show is intense!
