"Everyone is asking about the true identity of the faceless man."
In a hotel in Hangzhou, Wang Jiangyu looked embarrassed and confided to Mo Jianwen.
Previously, he and Mo Jianwen both disliked each other.
But as we have collaborated for so many episodes of "The Masked Singer", our relationship has become unexpectedly good.
"Who isn't?"
"We must hold on. If the identity of the Faceless Man is leaked, then our program will lose its greatest appeal."
"This has little impact on Xu Ji, but it has a greater impact on us."
Mo Jianwen replied very firmly.
In fact, in the past, Wang Jiangyu was very disgusted with the idea of any party affecting the control of his own program.
And resolutely resist.
But now, he doesn't have the courage to say such things.
Mainly the number of people coming to him has become bigger and bigger with the broadcast of the latest episode of "The Masked Singer".
He didn't know if he could withstand such pressure.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell me, I will never be the one who leaked the secret!"
Wang Jiangyu gritted his teeth and said firmly.
"Also, you'd better take care of other people who know the identity of the Faceless Man."
Mo Jianwen reminded me again.
The identity of the Faceless Man has been the most strictly kept secret since the first issue.
Even in the program group, only a few people know about it.
"They are all my most trusted brothers, so don't worry about this!"
Wang Jiangyu answered directly without any hesitation.
"But you have to take care of your people!"
Mo Jianwen was noncommittal.
Anyone who knows Xu Ji’s identity is considered the core member of the two-person team.
The possibility of leaks is not high.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Xu Ji will take the initiative to leak the news.
But considering Xu Ji’s character, he didn’t even accept interviews, so there’s no need to worry too much.
......
"Has the identity of the faceless man been found?"
In the office of Ji Yeming, chairman of Tianwu Entertainment, a man with an unattractive appearance and a peaked cap is standing respectfully.
After hearing Ji Yeming's question, he answered directly:
"Found it."
"The faceless man is Xu Ji."
......
After Ji Yeming heard Xu Ji's name, he was obviously stunned for several seconds.
"Is the source reliable?"
After hearing this, the man in the peaked cap nodded without any hesitation.
"I arranged it myself."
Ji Yeming sighed helplessly.
"What a pity."
"Don't let this news get out, especially to Fenghuang and Xiaopo."
"Okay, let's get out!"
......
Faceless men are indeed attractive.
This is the same even for Tianwu, one of the top three.
Ji Yeming has even made up his mind to sign the Faceless Man to the Tianwu banner even if he has to pay a high price.
If anyone in the entertainment industry has this ability, it’s probably Tianwu.
Tianwu has its own information channels, whether it is paparazzi, detectives, etc., anyway, Tianwu is definitely the most well-informed company in the entire entertainment industry.
Even Phoenix Entertainment and Smallpox Entertainment can't compare.
In the end, as Ji Yeming wished, the true identity of the faceless man was found.
I just didn’t expect it to be Xu Ji.
Even if it were any other singer, even if it was someone from the other two major companies, Ji Yeming would decisively do everything possible to poach people.
But that was Xu Ji, so Ji Yeming didn’t have to worry about it and chose to give up directly.
After all, Xu Ji is not an ordinary singer, and more importantly, the other party is the boss of Tongji Entertainment.
This is an unsolvable question.
What's more, Tianwu's young masters are all still in Tongji Entertainment. If they really poach all the bosses, Ji Yiyang will probably fight him to the death.
After all the hard work, Ji Yeming suddenly felt that he was not interested, so he decisively exercised his boss privileges and left the company early.
......
Xu Ji felt that something was wrong with the way he opened the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.
Isn’t he a singer who came to participate in the Spring Festival Gala?
How did you gradually become a staff member who wears multiple hats?
After all, Duan Suxin is such an old Spring Festival Gala director, yet she comes to ask him for his thoughts and suggestions on everything.
No one would believe it if I told you.
The main reason is that Xu Ji’s previous performance was indeed a bit too outstanding.
It is an original song, a song and dance program, and I even wrote two sketch scripts.
Moreover, the quality and excitement of the program are so high that even Duan Suxin can’t fault it.
So now Xu Ji and Sha Yetong's programs actually don't have much of a problem, and their performance in every rehearsal is quite stable.
But he still couldn't relax.
Every time after the show with Sha Yetong, Duan Suxin has to come over and watch the entire Spring Festival Gala process together.
As for Duan Suxin, I don’t know how many times I have thought this way.
Inviting Xu Ji was indeed the most correct decision she made during this Spring Festival Gala.
Because of Xu Ji's existence, it not only solved the previous headache of program quality, but also made her director's work much easier.
......
Xu Ji is participating in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, but everyone at Tongji Entertainment in Rongcheng is not idle either.
At this time, there are probably less than twenty days left before the Spring Festival Gala.
In Youman's office, she looked at Pang Er in front of her with a serious face.
"Director Pang, are you really sure?"
"Do you want "Famous" to be released during the Spring Festival?"
Pang Er was also very determined at this time and answered directly:
"I'm sure!"
"If you miss the Spring Festival schedule, the next better schedule will probably have to wait until April or May."
Youman was a little helpless.
He just felt that Pang Er was a little too stubborn.
I don’t know what good habits I learned from Xu Ji.
The intensity of the film market during this year’s Spring Festival is actually even more intense than on previous New Year’s Days.
What's more, Pang Er's "Famous" is not Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs".

No matter in terms of cast or investment cost, there is no comparison between the two.
As for the actors, there is only An Cailing, a relatively popular first-line actor, while the others are not famous.
Although there is indeed nothing wrong with the actor's acting skills, it is of little use to the promotion of the movie.
As for the investment cost, it is even smaller.
The total cost is less than 50 million.
It is indeed too difficult for a movie like this to be placed in the Spring Festival period to compete with big productions that often invest hundreds of millions.
"Alas, Mr. Xu also said there is no problem."
"You, the director, decide the release time of the movie."
"Although I still don't agree, I'll let you go."
Youman sighed helplessly, and then agreed.
Pang Er was very happy when he heard that You Man had relented, and instead comforted him.
"Sister Man, don't be afraid, the quality of our movies is not low either."
"Isn't it just the Spring Festival period? It's not difficult."
"And our investment is low, so it's actually much easier to get back the money than other movies."
......
Of course Youman is not worried about getting his money back.
In fact, it is not difficult to recover such a cost.
Moreover, the movie itself has the blessing of Xu Ji's script, so the quality is guaranteed.
But even so, it is still a bit risky to release it during the Spring Festival.
If you avoid these big-investment movies, the difficulty will be lower and the box office may be higher.
Of course, there is a lot of traffic during the Spring Festival, which has its pros and cons.
Youman could only convince himself in this way.
Anyway, Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs" has made a lot of money. Once the box office share is received, the company will have no financial pressure for the time being.
This cost of less than 50 million yuan will not make any loss no matter how much we lose.
......
In addition to Pang Er's "Famous" has been finalized, several other projects of Tongji Entertainment have also entered the final stage.
The post-production special effects of the two dramas "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" have reached the final stage.
Among them, "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is progressing slightly faster, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed after the year, and the online broadcast is just around the corner.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will be slightly slower, but if nothing unexpected happens, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will still be broadcast after "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sacrifice".
After all, they are all Tongji Entertainment dramas, and they are all broadcast on station G. Naturally, it is impossible to put them together and create a situation where one's left hand beats the right hand.
In addition, the literary film "Fireworks in the Day" has also been completed and has entered the later editing stage.
It is estimated that it will be able to catch up with some international film festivals after the new year.
In addition, the previously acquired Cherry Animation and two foreign animation studios are also making promising progress.
The progress of "The Return of the Great Sage" is about 80%, and it should be confirmed to be released within this year.
Overseas, there are also two major animated movies, but the progress is slightly slower.
Only 60 to 70 percent.
In fact, after several dramas were completed, many people at Tongji Entertainment suddenly began to become idle.
If it weren't for Xu Ji's participation in the Spring Festival Gala, many people might be asking for the script.
Now according to the tradition of Tongji Entertainment, it is estimated that if you want to get a new script, you will have to wait until you come back from vacation after the new year.
Tongji Entertainment’s annual vacation is quite long.
......
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the movies scheduled for the Spring Festival have also begun warm-up promotions.
The same goes for "Famous".
In fact, "Infernal Affairs" hasn't been released yet, and no one expected that Tongji Entertainment would release another movie during the Spring Festival.
However, when many netizens saw that Xu Ji was just the screenwriter and the director was someone else, they suddenly became less interested.
Also, in terms of the cast, only An Cailing knows him personally, and the others are some unknown second- and third-tier actors.
They are all the kind of people who look familiar, but can’t name them at all.
Compared with other movies during the Spring Festival, the appeal is really too weak.
Except for a small number of Xu Ji's fans and suspense fans who discovered that Pang Er was the director of several Suspense Theater films, all of them showed interest, but most people just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
What's more important is that the other films this time are all big productions, and they are all fully booked for promotion and distribution.
Under such circumstances, Youman felt that there was no need to struggle. The publicity expenses were not too exaggerated, but were maintained at a normal level of several million.
Therefore, "Famous" does not have much popularity.
Even if it was written by Xu Ji screenwriter and Tongji Entertainment, the result would be the same.
I feel like I am drowned in several other blockbusters during the Spring Festival.
......
The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are many more decorations on the streets, but the festive atmosphere is not as strong as expected.
Especially for many migrant workers, the Spring Festival is indeed something people look forward to.
It’s not that I’m looking forward to the New Year, but I’m looking forward to the holidays.
At the same time, the Spring Festival Gala program was also released for the first time.
As usual, netizens also launched a heated discussion about the Spring Festival Gala.
"Damn, this year's Spring Festival Gala shows are pretty good. There are many shows that I want to watch."
"Teachers Tan Jinguang and Ji Yanyu are also here? [Looking forward to the face.jpg]"
"Is Xu Ji and Sha Yetong's show still on? I just don't know how good this new director is."
"Those upstairs, would you like to see what you are talking about? Director Duan Suxin is already directing the Spring Festival Gala for the third year!"
"So it's Director Duan? The program level in the past two years was so high, I guess this year it won't be any worse."
"To be honest, Director Duan was in such a miserable state. He had accidents for two consecutive years and became a firefighter twice."
......
The Spring Festival Gala is still very popular.
After all, it is a program whose ratings can exceed an exaggerated figure of 50 once a year.
Even the usual hit dramas and variety shows are incomparable.
A few days before the Spring Festival, there are basically hot search terms for the Spring Festival Gala on Weibo.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Many artists in the entertainment industry are actually paying attention to these.
Especially whoever attended the Spring Festival Gala again this year, and then expressed envy or sour sighs in their respective small group chats.
Naturally, Yu Feifei was the one that many colleagues discussed the most this year.
Yu Feifei's popularity has increased a lot thanks to the song "Lanting Preface" on "The Masked Singer".
Even a sudden secondary explosion is not an exaggeration.
Although Yu Feifei is wearing a mask, her identity is no secret among the audience, let alone her peers.
And now I have directly participated in the Spring Festival Gala, which indeed makes many people feel envious.
As for why Yu Feifei, who had been tepid before, could suddenly receive such treatment, everyone knows that it is inseparable from Tongji Entertainment.
Because of Yu Feifei, Tongji Entertainment has once again become a company that many artists aspire to.
"Yu Feifei is really lucky. Why did she suddenly join Tongji Entertainment?"
"Indeed, look at the previous artists who left Phoenix Entertainment. Apart from her, how miserable the others were."
"I also want Xu Ji to help me write songs. I can easily gain millions of fans."
"I feel like this song written by Yu Feifei on the Spring Festival Gala was written by Xu Ji."
"Isn't it nonsense? Otherwise, how could Yu Feifei get the opportunity to sing solo?"
......
In a small group, several second- and third-tier artists were discussing Yu Feifei's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala list.
At the same time, I am also thinking about how to join Tongji Entertainment.
Now in their opinion, if they can join Tongji Entertainment, even if it is a pig, Xu Ji can make it a nationally renowned famous pig.
