Chapter 255 The first episode of 'The Masked Singer' airs
"Why is this show still so mysterious?"
"We don't know any of the other contestants participating in the show."
Zheng Yuzhen has placed great hopes on Yu Feifei's participation in the show.
However, the confidentiality measures related to the program team were very good. Although Yu Feifei successfully qualified for the competition, she did not even know the true identity of one of her opponents.
Of course, the same goes for Yu Feifei herself. Except for a few people on the program team, no one else knows Yu Feifei’s identity.
It can only be said that it fills the air with a sense of mystery.
"Sister Zheng, I won't be eliminated in the first round, right?"
Yu Feifei opened her mouth to ask questions.
This show has had such a big lineup since the contestants were gathered, so the lineup should not be bad.
She even thinks that the contestants on the show may be at the level of singing kings and queens.
Zheng Yuzhen shook her head.
"Probably not."
"According to the rules and core highlights of the show, we must not choose a singer who is too famous, otherwise it will be boring if the audience guesses it as soon as he opens his mouth."
......
After waiting in the lounge outside for more than two hours, Yu Feifei slowly came out wearing a cute bunny hood.
"How was it?"
Zheng Yuzhen immediately rushed up and asked.
Being able to participate in the recording of this program this time is a hard-won opportunity for Feifei.
If they were exposed directly after just one round, it would definitely be the worst result for them.
"It's okay, not the last one."
Yu Feifei's voice sounded strange when she spoke. She had obviously turned on a voice changer.
"The one who was revealed this time is a second-tier singer from Tianwu."
"But I haven't guessed the others, but there should be no king of singers or queens of singers."
"There is a player who gives me a very special feeling. I always feel like I have seen him before somewhere."
Yu Feifei told Zheng Yuzhen what happened on the show in detail.
This kind of situation was basically impossible to happen before.
It can only be said that so many things have happened since the debut, and the two people's attitudes towards each other have also changed.
Zheng Yuzhen once wanted to give up on Yu Feifei.
But now, such thoughts have basically disappeared.
......
Xu Ji, who returned to Chengdu after recording the show, soon received the relevant news. The post-production of "Wushuang" has begun to be completed.
It should only take three or two days at most to complete it.
Xu Ji has not yet made up his mind about submission for review and filing.
But I shouldn’t miss such a good opportunity during the summer season.
During this period, in addition to submitting the case for review, Youman also sent people to contact several of the most important theater chains in the country.
After all, I had no previous experience or connections, so it was completely unpredictable how many films the theater chain could arrange for me.
"Eight percent?"
"Really or fake?"
"No matter what, this series of films is too few, right?"
"And you can say that there are blockbusters in the same period, but the potential of those films in the same period is obviously not as good as ours!"
......
Youman looked quite angry.
I recently contacted a large theater chain that only gave 8% of the film schedule for the premiere of "Wushuang", which made people feel like they were being targeted.
On the contrary, it is an animation movie for children, and it has more than 10% of the schedule.
It’s incredible.
"The number of films arranged by several other theaters is not too high."
Soon, Youman received another piece of bad news.
Xu Ji felt a little puzzled at this time.
Logically speaking, with an international movie star like Wei Yifa joining us, it is unlikely that the film schedule will be so low.
Moreover, several theater chains have united the front, which makes people think that there may be someone deliberately playing tricks behind this.
"What now?"
Youman asked.
Although he has not yet had detailed discussions with the original company, Youman has a hunch that even if he takes the initiative to go to them, the possibility of the number of films scheduled to change is still small.
"What can I do? Although 8% of the scheduled films are a little less, they can still go online normally."
"And when the audience complains that there are no shows to watch, the theater chain will naturally increase the amount of films scheduled."
Although Xu Ji said he was very confident.
But in fact, he didn't want the film schedule of "Wushuang" to be so low when it was released.
If you have no other choice, you can only accept it.
In the future, we may be able to counterattack by relying on the reputation and quality of the movie itself.
......
"Mr. Li, the things you arranged have been completed."
"The film schedule of "Wushuang" is basically the lowest among several large theater chains."
This incident was indeed the work of the Li brothers from Phoenix Entertainment.
Phoenix Entertainment has been a long-term partner with these theater chains.
However, it is still somewhat difficult to deliberately lower the number of films scheduled for a certain movie.
It can only be said that between Tongji Entertainment and Phoenix Entertainment, these theaters obviously chose Phoenix Entertainment.
"Our company has only one movie this summer, and it's a low-budget youth film."
"I'm afraid I'm not Xu Ji's opponent."
Li Borui said with some worry.
Although he has made special efforts to reduce the film schedule of the other party, he does not have much confidence in his company's new movies.
If this summer movie hadn't been released at the same time as "Wu Shuang", he wouldn't have paid attention to it.
"It's not just our new movie."
"With such a low film schedule, I don't believe how many waves he can make!"
Li Bokai is quite confident.
The only thing that bothered him was that Tongji Entertainment's cash flow seemed so healthy that it didn't have any debt.
Even if this movie loses money, the impact on Tongji Entertainment will not be huge enough.
If you want to bring it down, you still have a long way to go!
......
At the same time, the program team of "The Masked Singer" is extremely efficient.
At this time, the first phase of the film has been edited.
A large-scale and overwhelming propaganda began.
The publicity effect is naturally quite good.
A mysterious masked singer will perform on stage, and the losing contestant will reveal his face and leave.,
Although it is only a brief stage scene, netizens on the Internet have already actively participated in guessing the singer.
"This little fox is definitely Fang Mengying, the sound characteristics are so obvious!"
"The faceless man's hood looks so handsome, but it's a pity that I've never heard the voice before, so I can't guess who it is."
"I feel that some singers will definitely change their singing habits to avoid people guessing."
......
The popularity of "The Masked Singer" exceeded Wang Jiangyu's imagination.
Although I know that this kind of program format is still very interesting, it is probably just a novelty for a while, and fewer people will pay attention to it in the future.
But since the first promotional video was released, many people often squatted on their official Weibo to ask when the program would be broadcast.
"The performance of this first phase of the stage was actually pretty good."
"I originally thought that these singers would not perform very well."
Wang Jiangyu said to Mo Jianwen who was walking over.
Since the filming of the show started, the two have moved in together.
Although there is constant friction, at least it is not as tit-for-tat as it used to be.
"It's normal, although there are no singing kings or queens among the singers we invited this time."
"But many people know that this is a great opportunity for them to increase their reputation, and they will naturally take it very seriously."
Mo Jianwen also continued to add:
"Next we can invite some more influential and well-known singers."
"After all, we still have to leave some songs that are out of the ordinary, and let the audience guess correctly once or twice, so that they have a sense of participation."
Wang Jiangyu is used to it.
Leaving aside other aspects, Mo Jianwen is indeed a person who is very good at arousing the emotions of the audience.
He believes that even if Mo Jianwen is given much lower conditions, he can still make his program attract the attention of the audience.
Come and try it soon.]
Soon, the broadcast time of the first episode of "The Masked Singer" was finalized.
This time the program will be broadcast on the Kiwi platform.
As for the TV station, we chose the red square station with the highest bid.
Although Wang Jiangyu felt that his previous cooperation with Orange Blossom was quite pleasant.
But they still couldn't stand Mo Jianwen's persuasion. A high bid was indeed a very important thing to them.
......
Xiong Lu looked at the official notification from "The Masked Singer" on her phone, feeling a little depressed.
How do you choose to air these programs during your final exams?
Although it doesn't matter whether she reviews or not, she is still not used to indulging herself during the final exam.
It’s just one program, it shouldn’t matter if you look at it, right?
Xiong Lu thought secretly in her heart.
Decisively, I ordered an alarm clock for the premiere of the show.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the show’s premiere came.
TV stations and online platforms are broadcast simultaneously.
Student gang members like Xiong Lu naturally choose to watch programs on online video platforms.
"Welcome to the first episode of "The Masked Singer"."
"This program is sponsored by..."
A very normal opening statement.
The host of the show is actually the head host of Red Square Channel.
Obviously after confirming the cooperation with him, the red party did not hesitate to ask its host to help.
"Let's welcome this issue's guests!"
"King of Songs Guan Shen"
......
In addition to the masked singers at the scene, some guests were also invited to the scene.
Some of these people are singers and musicians with great status and strength.
Of course, there are also some variety show stars, and they basically rely on them to enliven the atmosphere at the scene.
Obviously few of these powerful singers care about the so-called program effects.
"We will invite six masked singers to perform on stage this time!"
"The scores will be scored by the audience and several judges."
"The singer with the lowest score in the current period will be unveiled live on this stage!"
......
In fact, Xiong Lu already knew the rules of the program itself.
The reason why she is looking forward to this show so much is to see if she can guess who the singers on the show are.
You must know that her listening range is quite wide, and she is very familiar with the voices of many niche singers.
After the rules were explained clearly, the first masked singer also took the stage.
He's a man wearing a cute tiger hood.
What is surprising is that the song he chose this time was actually the episode "Promise Not to Love You" from Sword and Sword II.
"Obviously love is very clear, but yet we accept separation"
"I only have the right to miss you, it's not too late to be sad"
The diva who named herself "Little Tiger" is obviously quite good at singing.
This cover of Xu Ji’s song also sounds pretty good.
At this time, the guests present began to guess who was coming.
"This voice feels like Guan Songjiang."
"I think so too, but it's a pity that this song doesn't have his best transposition."
"I don't think so. This singing voice is obviously the same as Guan Songjiang's!"
......
The guests were speculating about the singer’s true identity.
At this time, the audience watching the show also speculated.
Among the netizens, there were some elders who quickly wrote hundreds of words for fans, comparing the similarities between the little tiger in front of them and Guan Songjiang.
Guan Songjiang is an old artist who has been around for a long time.
Now he is in his forties.
Although he is still a first-line singer, his influence has been reduced compared to when he was young.
Guan Songjiang himself had previously participated in some variety shows in an attempt to become popular, but in the end, because the programs did not have much effect, the audience could not remember them at all.
Xiong Lu was now able to determine that the singer should be Guan Songjiang.
Although he deliberately adapted his vocal method, he also chose a song that was not his favorite style.
But some small features in the voice were still discovered by Xiong Lu.
The second person to appear is Yu Feifei wearing a rabbit hood.
This time Yu Feifei directly chose an old song and presented a quite perfect stage.
It is a pity that her own popularity is still a little low, and the guests at the scene did not even mention her name.
Because the song was an old song, a certain guest also guessed that the singer under the mask was an old artist who was at least fifty years old.
However, Xiong Lu and many viewers could detect that although there was a possibility of deliberately imitating the original singer, he was actually a young singer who was not particularly old.
"We invite the third masked singer to appear!"
"The Redeemer!"
After hearing the name of the middle school student and the amusing cross on the opponent's headgear, many people at the scene burst into laughter.
At this time, the song information appears on the screen.
""Nirvana""
"Lyrics: Redeemer"
"Composer:The Redeemer"
......
It’s actually a new song?
Xiong Lu felt a little surprised.
After all, this program obviously does not require the singers to sing original new songs.
Moreover, the lyrics and music are all his own, and he obviously has great trust in the quality of his songs.
As soon as the male singer opened his mouth, the laughter at the scene disappeared.
This song puts the chorus directly at the beginning, instantly attracting everyone watching the show.
"Damn, that sounds a bit nice!"
"New song? This song sounds pretty good."
"Who is this singer? His ability to write songs is quite strong!"
At this time, even Xiong Lu was a little unsure.
Some of the candidates who were originally confirmed were overturned.
Who is this singer?
At the same time, Xu Ji, wearing a mask in the background, listened to the "Redeemer"'s live singing, and a face that he hadn't seen for a long time but still felt familiar suddenly appeared in his mind.
