When he came to participate in the show, Xu Ji actually thought that there might be people like him who would compete with new songs.
But what surprised him was that this was only the first issue, and he was able to encounter original new songs of such high quality.
Moreover, the lyrics and music are written by the singer himself on the stage, which means that this so-called redeemer is a singer with strong originality.
Although the singing characteristics in his own impression have changed a lot, Xu Ji still recognized who the singer on the stage was for the first time.
Unfortunately, apart from Xu Ji, it was obvious that none of the guests or the audience had any clue.
Even Xiong Lu, who felt that she listened to a wide range of songs, couldn't think of such a singer-songwriter in the entertainment industry.
Is it possible that some songwriters came to sing in person?
So no one at the scene could guess who this "redeemer" was?
The guests on the show also want to get some useful information from each other.
But after singing, the Redeemer clearly had a very cold personality, and most of his answers were just one or two words.
In the end, after persisting for several rounds, I was defeated and no useful information was obtained.
Although I couldn't guess the true identity of this singer, I have to say that the appearance of this high-quality original song is indeed a surprise.
It directly raised the overall stage level of the real program.
At least we have a song that might break into the music industry.
Otherwise, it would just be the songs at the front, and the biggest attraction of this show would probably be the masking gimmick.
......
The subsequent plot is indeed similar to what Xiong Lu guessed.
Although the next two singers performed well, their singing skills were both good and they also chose some classic and well-known songs, but the stage effect was not very impressive.
It’s even more impossible to surpass the original song.
Only the last Masked Singer is left.
The faceless man with a very distinctive mask in the previous trailer.
A cloth mask with irregular patterns stained with black ink.
Following the host's brief introduction, the faceless man on the stage also began his performance.
""Mercury""
"Composer: Faceless Man"
"Lyrics: Faceless Man"
......
The guests at the scene were surprised when they saw the song information on the big screen.
It’s actually an original new song?!
Xiong Lu also didn’t expect that there would be two creative singers in this program?
It seems that the show has really put in the effort to invite guests!
I just don’t know if this song can match the previous one.
At the same time, Xu Ji, who was wearing a mask on the stage, also started singing.
"Fascinated by your eyes, there are traces of the Milky Way"
"Through the gap of time, it still truly attracts me"
......
As the singing came, the audience slowly became immersed in the song.
Xiong Lu was very keenly aware that this faceless man was completely different from the previous redeemer.
If the various high notes and roars in the previous song "Nirvana" make people feel the singer's passionate emotions.
Then this song "Mercury" has a completely restrained style.
But the melody of this song is quite catchy.
The quality feels not inferior to the previous one.
After hearing the chorus part sung by the Faceless Man in the show, Xiong Lu became more determined in her thoughts.
"How far do I have to go to enter your heart"
"How long will it take before I can get close to you"
......
Maybe it’s even better!
Although I didn’t feel much about the melody of this song when I first listened to it, the more I listen to it, the easier it is to suddenly fall in love with it.
And the lyrics are also very well written.
Although the singer's face cannot be seen, some female viewers watching the show have obviously fallen in love.
Everyone in the barrage started to get excited.
"A dream for you, a dream for you"
"Wait until I see you covered with silver, wait until I can't tell the difference between seasons"
"Only one dares to say addiction"
In addition to the songs, the singer's performance also feels perfect.
Especially when paired with the faceless man's mask, this love song suddenly becomes inexplicably emotional.
The quality of this song is really high, which is a bit surprising.
This even surprised Xiong Lu, who originally had no requirements for song quality.
"Traveling around is boring"
"At least you can"
"Stay with you"
As the song ended, the guests and audience at the scene all reacted and began to discuss who this faceless man was.
When Xiong Lu followed the guests and guessed who the faceless man was, he suddenly realized that he hadn't even thought about it when he was listening just now.
What I had been doing in the previous program, I subconsciously forgot when listening to this song, and instead listened to the song seriously throughout the whole process.
The most important thing is, in today’s entertainment industry, do singers with such creative abilities really exist?
Xiong Lu was not even impressed by the timbres of the two singers who appeared on the show.
The only thing that can be noticed is that the singing skills of the Redeemer and the Faceless Man are actually not very good.
At the very least, it cannot reach the level of a singer.
But this still does not affect the amazing performance of the two.
After all, just two original new songs of such high quality set the level of other singers in the same period.
After all six singers finished singing, the formal voting session finally began.
Not surprisingly, the Faceless Man and the Redeemer successfully achieved first and second place.
The one with the lowest number of votes this time is a masked male singer called Scarecrow.
In the subsequent unveiling session, the Scarecrow's true identity did not exceed the expectations of some viewers.
It’s a second-tier singer named Guo Xinyan from Tianwu Entertainment.
In fact, he is not very famous, but participating in the show this time, as the only singer to be unveiled in the first episode, he will definitely gain a lot of traffic.
Although it is a pity to be eliminated, it is not in vain.
Of course, the attention of more viewers and netizens is still focused on the two most outstanding performers in this issue, the Redeemer and the Faceless Man.
Just on the night the program aired, "The Masked Singer" successfully dominated the hot searches on Weibo.
Especially the topics about guessing the true identities of these singers have attracted many discussions.
In addition, the popularity of several songs in the show has also risen rapidly. The most sudden ones are naturally the two new original songs "Mercury" and "Nirvana".
"Mercury" directly landed in the top ten of June's new song chart.
Of course, it is not the first position.
Because the top songs are all songs from Sha Yetong’s new album.
But even so, it does not hinder the fact that the show "The Masked Singer" became popular in the first episode.
Even a large number of supporters of these masked singers soon appeared.
Among them, the one with the most fans is of course Faceless Man, who attracted a large number of female fans with his love song "Mercury".
"I always thought that the Faceless Man would be a very handsome male singer! I'm so looking forward to the reveal, but unfortunately the possibility of losing is too low at the moment."
"I searched around, but I really didn't find any suitable male singers. Could they be new ones?"
"I think it should be a newcomer, otherwise it would be impossible for all the netizens to search around and not find the right one."
"It can't be a newcomer. The completion of this song shows that he is someone who writes songs frequently."
"I think this "Mercury" feels like a song written by Xu Ji? It can't be Xu Ji, right?"
"Would you like to listen to what you are saying? Xu Ji has also sung, but this tone is completely different, okay?"
"I also guess that there is Xu Ji among the two, but the singer's timbre is not very similar, and Xu Ji writes songs in such a wide range of genres that I can't be sure at all based on an original song!"
......
Some netizens on the Internet guessed that Xu Ji was also expected by Mo Jianwen and the program team.
After all, Xu Ji is no longer the newcomer he was back then.
With his own popularity and popularity, coupled with his unforgettable creative ability, he will easily be included in the guessing list of netizens.
Of course, although Xu Ji was involved in the speculation, there were more refutations than Xu Ji.
After all, Xu Ji also deliberately changed some of his usual singing habits this time to participate in the show.
There is quite a big difference in terms of listening experience alone.
Netizens are enthusiastic about guessing the singer, and many companies in the entertainment industry have also started taking action.
In particular, the identity of the two singers, The Redeemer and the Faceless Man, is still a mystery. The program team of "The Masked Singer" did a great job of keeping it secret.
Even some of the singers participating in the show do not know the identities of other singers competing with them on the stage.
No one can guess the true identities of the two best performers in this issue.
It is not ruled out or even very possible that these two people may be independent musicians who are not signed by a company?
If this is really the case, then if you can contact the two people in advance, you may not be able to catch the leak.
After spending a lot of effort, we still couldn't find the contact information between the two of them.
Of course, although the popularity is very high now, only some small companies have such ideas.
It is obviously impossible for companies like the Big Three to sign singers just because of the popularity at this time.
The most excited people are Mo Jianwen and Wang Jiangyu.
They predicted that the show would be a hit, but they didn't expect it to be so popular.
It even reached the point where the entire internet was discussing it.
However, both of them also know very well that the core of this show is the mystery of the Masked Singers.
Winning the audience's appetite is something that needs to be carried out to the end.
In addition, they also noticed very keenly that the success of this show has a lot to do with the two original new songs.
I am also very glad that I firmly invited Xu Ji to participate.
At least there is no need to worry too much about the quality of the songs in each issue.
Judging from Xu Ji's creative ability, even if the show is shot for dozens of episodes, Xu Ji will definitely be able to bring new songs to each episode.
It is simply the biggest guarantee for the "Masked Singer" program.
Of course, in addition to the promise, there is also the unexpected joy brought by the redeemer.
In fact, when the two invited each other, they never thought that the other party would be able to produce original new songs of such high quality.

......
At the same time, Xu Ji, who returned to Chengdu, simply read the reviews of the program for a while and ignored them.
After all, the release time of "Wushuang" is getting closer and closer.
Xu Ji also began to slowly become busy.
Recently, "Wushuang" has been officially submitted for review. According to the special care given by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau to Xu Ji, it is estimated that it will only take a week at most to pass the review.
In addition, the movie is officially scheduled for July 6th.
This time point happens to be the beginning of the summer vacation.
Although everything was fully prepared, Xu Ji still left nearly half a month of publicity time.
After all, there are still some differences between movies and TV series.
There is still a big difference in viewing costs between the two.
Spending money is one aspect, but the most important thing is time cost.
Movies require the audience to buy tickets and go to the theater to watch them, while film and television dramas can be watched as long as you have electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers around you.
So for movies, schedule is actually very important.
For example, when it is released during the summer, Spring Festival, or some festivals, the box office may be very different from when it is released during ordinary times.
Of course, the schedule is one thing, and the other is the appeal of the movie itself.
Some good movies, even if their schedules are not particularly good, can still rely on their excellent reputation to attract audiences to take the time to watch them.
Rather than contributing to the box office just because you happen to need to go to the cinema.
Even Xu Ji still dare not underestimate the role of pre-movie publicity.
Relying solely on the reputation of a movie is of course a good method, and the same is true for some low-budget films.
But "Wushuang" is different. After all, the movie itself has the participation of international actor Wei Yifa.
Moreover, Xu Ji’s reputation is not low, and this is Xu Ji’s first directorial film.
With such a good publicity advantage, it would really be a waste if we don’t publicize it properly.
So under Youman's operation, the trailer of "Wushuang" soon became a hot search topic.
In particular, the gunfight scene with a character played by Wei Yifa and the scene of lighting a cigarette with banknotes can indeed attract the attention of netizens very quickly.
"Damn it, why is Brother Fa still so handsome at this age?"
"It's so good. It immediately brought me back to the age when I watched those Hong Kong movies of Fa Ge."
"Why does this trailer always feel like a gimmick?"
"Although, why does this person who plays with Fa Ge look so familiar?"
"Damn it, what's going on? It's actually the notorious Wanrongli?"
"Wan Rongli? Is that the actor who drank and acted like crazy and then beat people up? Why did he show up again?"
"Wait a minute, I just checked the cast and found that Wan Rongli's name is still in front of Wei Yifa. Does that mean Wan Rongli is the male lead?"
"Isn't it? I thought I was really looking forward to this movie, and I planned to watch it during the holiday, but suddenly Wanrongli appeared, and I suddenly lost interest in it."
......
The storm of public opinion came so suddenly that Youman and Xu Ji almost forgot about it.
The male protagonist Wan Rongli in "Wushuang" is still a bad actor.
When the poster was released before, obviously not many people paid attention to it.
This time the trailer was on the hot search, and after it was released, it suddenly attracted "special attention" from netizens.
Youman was not in a very good mood at this time.
Because she knows very well that with such a public opinion crisis, coupled with the meager film schedule, the situation may really fall apart this time.
The most critical thing is that this sudden public opinion crisis directly disrupted the original publicity plan.
Now not only has the effect of the publicity basically disappeared, but we also have to quickly find ways to quell the negative impact of this public opinion.
Fortunately, there is still enough time until the release, and there is enough time for Youman to operate.
