American Entertainment: Starting with playing the role of Little Beaver

Chapter 99 Cute Beaver Plays with Short Chapters

When Isabella first appeared, viewers in front of their televisions were indeed somewhat confused.

Because it seems neither reasonable nor logical for her to appear on stage as a contestant.

It wasn't until Isabella revealed her purpose for impersonating a contestant that viewers at home understood. In most people's eyes, Isabella was trying to use acting to demonstrate the fairness and impartiality of the show.

Uh……

People in North America aren't all fools.

Many times we think their behavior is anti-intellectual, but that's simply because we live in different environments. After they've been fooled by the government many times and witnessed the disgusting nature of capitalism, all their perceived stupidity is actually just a case of 'Our Great Qing Dynasty has its own national conditions.'

Then, the "happy education" approach was only wildly promoted in the 90s.

The 21% illiteracy rate resulting from "happy education" will not be fully reflected for another 20 years.

If over 40% of Americans don't know all the common words, then Harry Potter wouldn't have sold five million copies in 24 hours. Reading Harry Potter also requires a certain vocabulary.

Since most people still have some sense, when they follow the plot of the Beaver short film and explore it in a positive direction, the sudden twist—Dwayne Johnson's teasing of Miss Beaver, Miss Beaver's bewilderment, and Miss Beaver's anger—immediately brings a unique kind of cuteness to everyone. To put it simply, this is the cuteness of contrast.

The fans laughed even louder when Isabella used her own fame as a reference.

With all the punchlines delivered, the first half of Miss Beaver's solo show came to an end.

On stage, the second half of the show featured a self-accompanied performance of "Love Story".

Unsurprisingly, all the mentors present recognized Isabella's voice.

The emergence of the fourth turn has also opened the eyes of people in North America—

"Oh... so this is really a blind selection?"

"I think this design is absolutely brilliant! Judging whether to turn around solely by sound avoids factors like appearance and stage presence, allowing us to find the best sound! And music is the art of sound!"

"Hiss—if I remember correctly, there wasn't such a design in the movie 'The Voice'?"

"This kind of turnaround is so much fun! I thought the format of 'The Voice of China' would be similar to 'American Idol'! But now it seems... I think it's much more interesting than 'American Idol'!"

"..."

Isabella successfully completed her mission.

The production team had her perform the opening show as a contestant, which was to give the audience in front of the TV a direct understanding of the design of the national competition. There was no other way, since the idea of ​​"The Voice of China" was indeed novel.

Now that the public understood the rules of the game, the first season of "The Voice" officially began. Next, contestants from each state took the stage one after another, giving their all in their performances. The audience in front of the television was thrilled, and everyone cheered for their favorite contestant.

When everyone finds out that their favorite contestant has been selected by the mentor, they cheer, shout, and pump their fists in celebration.
When everyone learns that the contestant they supported did not win the favor of the mentors, they become depressed and bury their heads in their hands.

However, all of the above describes the state of mind of the audience while watching the first half of the program.

When the show reached its middle stage, after about an hour, almost everyone realized that all the contestants who made it to the national competition were talented, so it was not unusual for mentors to turn around and for contestants to join their teams.

What's truly impressive is when multiple people turn around!

What's truly outrageous is that all four of them are spinning at the same time!
Only when a contestant can attract all four mentors to turn around and scramble for him can his strength be truly seen!

So?

"Fourth job advancement! Fourth job advancement!! Fourth job advancement!!!"

"what--"

"Just one more!"

"..."

"Turn around! Turn around!! Turn around!!!"

"Oh my god! She sings so well! Why won't Mimi turn around?"

"..."

"OMG—"

"One more needed—"

"Why did it have to be Elton this time?!"

"..."

The audience got hooked.

Frankly speaking, the reason why "The Voice" was able to succeed, become a global phenomenon, and run for 28 seasons in 15 years after entering the United States, averaging 1.86 seasons a year and outlasting "American Idol" is because the show was well-integrated.

The rules of "The Voice of China" may seem unremarkable on their own, but when all the ordinary elements are combined and rearranged, the show instantly becomes a powerful force that can stir up the audience's emotions and bring double the satisfaction to the public.

The first level of satisfaction is called scratching lottery tickets.

When viewers discover that their favorite contestant has gained the mentor's approval, the feeling of excitement is no different from winning the lottery; the brain releases dopamine like crazy.

However, this is only the most basic satisfaction that the program offers to its viewers.

The second level, which is not the basic level, is called a younger man/older woman relationship.

Anyone familiar with the entertainment industry should know that the term "younger man/older woman relationship" originated from Korean dramas and refers to a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. The reason this theme became so popular in South Korea is because of the strict social hierarchy in South Korea.

In the workplace, for example, in South Korea, a newcomer must address a colleague who is a year older than them as a senior.

When a cage truly exists, the oppression brought about by the social structure can be suffocating.

While everyone was craving to vent, the older woman set her sights on the younger puppy?

Wow~
Wouldn't a story like this just explode in popularity?
Because the target audience of TV dramas... well, you know... so when the production team conveys the idea that as long as the time is right, they can also have a cute puppy to play with, the audience will spend a lot of money on the production team.

To put it simply, dramas featuring younger men dating older women never sell the plot, but rather the fantasy.

The double selection in "The Voice of China" is a variation of the younger man/older woman relationship.

First of all, those who can appear on variety shows as mentors are all celebrities.

Secondly, several celebrities took a liking to a promising star and fought each other to compete for his training.

Oh~~~
Isn't this just like the online novel "The Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain, and the Richest Family Kneels and Begs for Help"?

The recognition brought by blind selection and the role reversal between the superiors and inferiors directly brought out the most exciting moments of the show!
Yes--

The show "The Voice of China" is actually a serialized online novel and seasonal TV series disguised as a variety show!

Once a show can bring viewers a continuous stream of enjoyment, it can't possibly lose!
If you still don't understand, take a look at the latest case from 2025—

That was the short drama era's "The American Sun Falls in Love with Me, a Cleaner in **";
That's a melodramatic fantasy drama called "The North American Tax King Pursues Me at My Deceased Husband's Funeral".

Although the "younger man/older woman" trope has a bad reputation, this trope is truly unbeatable.

That's why, when Isabella came up with the idea of ​​"The Voice," she never thought she would lose.

Or perhaps she felt she was destined to win big.

But the truth is...

"Oh—this girl named Katy Perry sings so well!"

"Finally, a fourth job advancement! Finally, a fourth job advancement! Is this the second fourth job advancement tonight?"

“Yeah~ The first one is Isabella.”

"Uh...Isha, please don't say anything more, okay?"

Who will she choose? Rocket Man Elton? Sting? Or Boss?

"I think she'll choose Boss! Because she's singing Alanis's 'You Oughta Know'! It's grunge! Only Boss can bring out her wild side!"

Time flies like an arrow; it passes in the blink of an eye.

As the clock struck 10 p.m. on the East Coast, the first episode of the first season of "The Voice" came to an end.

Katy Perry's grand finale appearance brought endless surprises to the North American audience—

Because she sings so well!
The appearance of the second four-turn turn of the entire show kept the audience glued to the screen.

Everyone wants to know which pro player's team Katy Perry will ultimately join!
While North American viewers were frantically analyzing the situation, Katy Perry on television was looking around.

After she 'caught' Isabella standing to the side, she immediately raised the microphone and said with a big smile, "Oh, Isabella, I'm your fan, I came to the show because of you."

"I'm so happy to see you today. And, I'd like to know, is there really only four teams on 'The Voice'? Uh... I didn't mean any disrespect to the mentors... I just wanted to say that I want to fight for you..."

"To be honest, I think the name Beaver Team sounds the best."

"what?????"

The moment Katy Perry's choice was announced, the North American continent erupted in a chorus of croaking frogs!
Nobody expected that Katy Perry would choose Isabella?
"OMG! What kind of thought process is this?!"

"Oh! Sxxt! So it turns out I can choose Miss Beaver too?"

"Dxxn! This Katy Perry is hilarious! Ohhhhh—I hereby declare! She's the smartest one on The Voice! At least in the first episode, she was the only one who thought of choosing Isha!"

"Hahahaha—what do we do now? Is Isabella going to change her identity again?" When designing "The Voice," Isabella had already defined her role: she would only be the initiator.

The reason for doing this is simple:
Firstly, she's not qualified to be a mentor.

She's only released a few songs.

And then he became a mentor?
Isn't this just needlessly giving others a weakness in public opinion?

It's attracting a lot of negative attention!
Secondly, she didn't want to linger too long on the production of "The Voice of China" IP.

She's just an ordinary person; her biggest goal is to create an IP and then sit back and count the money.

That's why, before recording "The Voice," Isabella had already made it clear to Disney that she would only appear on necessary occasions. For example, after the opening show, her job on the show was simply to welcome the contestants with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, applaud when a contestant advanced, encourage when a contestant was eliminated, and that was it.

Of course, there are times when I work overtime, but that's just when I'm receiving worship from believers.

hee hee~
Since Isabella wanted to remain invisible from the beginning, when Katy Perry asked the question, she looked regretful on TV and said, "Oh—Katie—thank you for liking it, but our show is designed with four teams."

"Can't we just add one more?" Katy Perry persisted.

“Uh…” Isabella pursed her lips.

Her hesitation sparked a frenzy of discussion among viewers watching on television.

There is support—

"Add one more! Add one more!"

"Why can't I join a team? It's all competition anyway!"

"I think you can choose Miss Beaver after the fourth job advancement, because a lot of people go for Miss Beaver!"

"That's right! There are 150 contestants in the national finals of 'The Voice of China'! And each mentor can only take on ten students! That means 110 people will be eliminated in the elimination rounds alone! That's an incredibly high elimination rate!"

"That's right! So what's wrong with forming another team?"

There are those who disagree—

"I don't think that will work! Once the competition format is set, it can't be changed!"

"Yes! How can the rules be changed midway through a competition?"

"After the fourth job advancement, you can choose Miss Beaver? Is this choice fair to the four mentors?"

"It's not fair to the students either! Although I think Ms. Beaver is amazing, she only officially entered the music scene this year! Let her teach students? Oh—that scene is just too beautiful—I can't even bear to look—"

"From the perspective of the competition system, this approach is even more problematic! Miss Beaver can only be selected after the fourth promotion? Doesn't that mean that there will definitely be ten people in the entire competition who will get the fourth promotion? Otherwise, Miss Beaver's team won't be able to form a complete team! And if there are ten people in the entire competition who can get the fourth promotion? What's the difference between that and a pre-arranged result?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I think that makes a lot of sense!"

"Miss Beaver can't form a team! Absolutely not!"

Amidst the discussions of countless viewers, Isabella, after hesitating for a long time, finally made her decision on television.

"I'm not good at saying no, so..."

The moment the hesitant words were uttered, the supporters of forming the team became excited! The opposition, on the other hand, frowned!

Just when everyone thought Isabella was about to personally intervene.

The little girl on TV suddenly asked the staff for her bag.

After taking it, she asked Johnson to hold the microphone for her—

Johnson crouched down.

He opened the bag—

Under the watchful eye of the camera, she reached into her bag.

"Actually, when I was preparing for the program, I thought of a certain situation."

"Because I'm the initiator of the show, many people come specifically because of me. So, I thought that during the recording, some people might want to get advice from me. For example, some contestants asked me which mentor they should choose?"

"For example, a mentor asked me whether I should turn around and ask him to."

"Although The Voice of China is a variety show, it is more of a competition."

"Therefore, in order to ensure fairness, it's not appropriate for me to offer any opinions."

"I even feel that I'm not very easy to talk to during the competition."

“But if I remain silent on the show, it will seem very strange, won’t it? Because many people are here specifically for me, and many people say that they have worked so hard just to meet me.”

"Therefore, in order to solve the problem of not being able to speak at crucial moments, I came up with a solution, which is..."

wow-

Isabella pulled a bunch of cards out of her bag.

It contains "likes" that represent things that sound good.

There are expressions of affection that represent liking someone.

Drinking tea represents rest.

And it represents bewilderment and confusion—

At that moment, Isabella picked up a pile of cards from her hand.

"Katy Perry, this is all the advice I can give you in response to your question."

"Don't ask me if I can form a team, because I'm just a thirteen-year-old baby."

"I can't solve your problem, and I feel powerless to do anything about it."

Isabella used a round hand card to cover her face.

The moment the adorable little beaver appeared, viewers in front of their TVs burst into laughter!

"OMG—Why did Isabella even make this thing?!"

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Isabella even prepared some drawings to illustrate facial expressions so she wouldn't have to speak?"

"Ahhhh—Isha is so cute—these expressions are drawn so well—"

"Hahahaha—Isa says she's a thirteen-year-old baby?"

"I can't take it anymore! Why does Isabella always manage to surprise people? She's so interesting!"

"Hey, don't you guys think the pattern on Isa's hand is the same as the beaver on her personal mini-disc?"

"Do you even need to think about it? This is obviously drawn by her sister!"

"Ohhh...I really want these beaver toys..."

"I want one too! But it seems like Isabella doesn't intend to make any merchandise? These cartoon beavers have appeared so many times. They're in her mini discs, are they stickers? Keychains? They were also during The Voice auditions, they were badges, I even went to an audition just to get badges! But the toys for sale... it seems like she's never made any..."

Yes ~
Isabella doesn't intend to get much screen time on "The Voice," but when she's 100% sure of winning, how could she possibly waste such a great opportunity and platform?
Right?

Therefore, bringing endless joy to the audience within a limited time is what she wants to do.

Then, the beaver emoji appeared.

This was the result of Catherine's incredible hard work during the filming of "Azkaban".

Isabella thought her older sister's drawing was fantastic; the adorable little beaver allowed the world to sense her cuteness.

The same applies to people; that cute and tactful refusal made everyone accept the result of the four teams.

Following Isabella's statement, Katy Perry on the television screen turned her attention back to her mentor. The girl first apologized to the four teachers before revealing her favorite mentor, Boss Sting.

This result greatly satisfied the audience watching on television.

Because most people guessed she would choose Sting.

The accompanying end credits elicited screams from the audience—

"What? It's gone? How could it just be gone?"

"Oh—Sxxt—the first episode is over already? Is it that short?"

"Damn it! I was just starting to feel it! I hadn't even trembled yet! And then it was over???"

"How many episodes a week? One episode? M-Fxxk! When ABC was making 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,' it aired three times a week! And now 'The Voice' only airs one episode a week? Good heavens! How can ABC be so lazy!"

"No way! I'm going to call ABC and tell them to add more chapters!"

"I'm going to post on Yahoo! I'll get all the fans to call!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Together! Together!"

"..."
