## History

### **The Voice of China Arc**

She was the first person Zhang Ye invited to be a guest coach for The Voice of China. He was able to convince her to join the program after countering a few of her arguments. He offered her 10 million RMB as a joining payment, which she thought was too high, but Zhang Ye did not let her refuse.

When she came to Central TV to sign the contract for The Voice, she was shocked when she saw Fang Weihong, Zhang Yuanqi's manager, also came to sign a contract.

When she and the rest of the coaches came to Central TV to record the theme song of The Voice, they were stalled by Zhang Zuo under Zhang Ye's orders. After being stalled for half an hour, Zhang Ye finally showed them the score for the theme song as they tried to hum along to the lyrics. Everyone was shocked by how good the song was but they realized Zhang Ye had rushed to make the song earlier since the ink on the score hasn't dried yet.

She and the rest of the coaches wanted to take a look at the rehearsals of the contestants to determine their condition and quality. However, Zhang Ye wanted to keep the suspense and the impact of seeing them for the first time until the recording. When people started doubting Zhang Ye and The Voice's quality, she helped speak up and promote The Voice.

She and the other coaches sang "I Believe" in the opening of The Voice's first episode. Her singing tempo was more inclined towards her bel canto style, but somehow carried a lingering charm to it. During Zhang Ye's advertisement speed recital, she and the other coaches were so shocked that they had to re-shoot the segment to get a more natural reaction.

When Luo Yu belted out the chorus of "Who Told You I Don't Understand", she immediately pressed the button and turned around. She and the other coaches tried to fight for Luo Yu, but she eventually chose Cheng Guang as her coach. She and Fan Wenli were the first to turn around for Sun Daxuan. They were surprised that the exquisiteness and emotions portrayed in his voice did not match his appearance. She later gets chosen by Shi Fangru as her coach by pointing out how she has five children and a lot of grandchildren and promised not only to mentor her in music but also in bringing up her children. She was also able to lure the fourth contestant who performed a folk song that needed powerful vocals and an extraordinary range into her team. When she heard Qian Pingfan sing, she was shocked and thought that his voice is almost as good as Fan Wenli and even thought that he was a professional singer. She was the third to turn for Qian Pingfan and was curious why the previous two coaches were so shocked to see him, but she was also dumbfounded when she saw he was a man. She tried all sorts of tricks to grab Qian Pingfan for her team, but he eventually chose Zhang Yuanqi.

After the recording of the first episode, she went to chat with her team members privately and possibly point out some of their problems to improve on so that they could perform better during the group stages.

After the news that The Voice's first episode had a viewership rating of 2.01%, she forwarded Zhang Ye's "Admiring the Mountains" on Weibo.

In the second episode, she and the other coaches all turned for Yuan Tong and her performance of "For My Future Son or Daughter", but it is unknown which coach she picked. She and the other coaches all turned at the same time for Zhou Danian for his performance of "I Don't Believe", but they were shocked when they saw that he was an old man. They could hear that the contestant had some age and life experience from the way he sang with his mature and gravelly voice. But even so, it only sounded like a 40-year-old or so, not 60 or above. After Zhou Danian's performance, Zhang Xia stood up with warm applause for him. After the coaches fought over him, he chose Zhang Yuanqi as his coach.

### **Chenchen's Adventure Arc**

During the recording for the first episode of The Voice since Zhang Ye's return, she and the other coaches chatted with Zhang Ye while waiting for Zhang Yuanqi to arrive. They talked about Zhang Ye's recent incident, and she criticized Zhang Ye for his short temper.
