The next step is for the eliminated contestants to continue to perform a song and then reveal themselves midway.
When the lights dimmed, even though he didn't make the cut, he was the protagonist on stage now.
The prelude of "I'm a Little Bird" sounded slowly, followed by the iconic alto of "Wukong", which was still so contagious.
Perhaps out of encouragement, perhaps out of apology for his choice, the cheers and screams became even more enthusiastic.
Finally at the end of the first chorus, ‘Wukong’ turned his back to the audience and began to take off his mask.
Some spectators on the side saw the faces in advance, and they all exclaimed and covered their mouths with disbelief on their faces. They shared their surprise regardless of whether they recognized the people around them or not.
Turning around suddenly, all the lights focused on the person on the stage.
Her bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead. Her sharp eyes were looking forward, with a big smile on her face. Her chest that was constantly rising and falling revealed that her current mood was not as relaxed as her expression.
"Yu Yi!!!" Some viewers immediately recognized him and shouted.
Because it was a bit far away from the stage, several guests squinted their eyes and looked hard.
Maki had good eyesight. After finally seeing who it was, he quickly grabbed the person next to him and spoke.
Li Qingyue suddenly understood and stood up to applaud to show his support. He remembered that he had sung the theme song of the TV series starring Yu Yi.
Others expressed their surprise that they thought he was a professional singer, but turned out to be an actor.
When the song ended, Yu Yi bowed deeply toward the audience.
Many people stretched out their hands in a gesture of reluctance.
Wang Qian walked up to him: "Come on, let me introduce myself to everyone."
Yu Yi, who has nearly 20 years of experience as an actor, felt a little nervous at this time.
"Hello everyone, I am actor Yu Yi"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by cheers.
Su Yan lamented that the program crew still has a good eye for selecting people.
Yu Yi can be said to be a typical example of a popular actor who is not popular in dramas. He made his debut in 2001, but most of them were supporting roles in dramas.
As for her appearance, she is not bad at all and has a positive image. It was not until 2014 when she appeared in the online drama "Soul Ferry" that she gradually became known to the public and started to play the leading role.
I believe that after the show is broadcast, Yu Yi's career will take off again.
Interviews with the players continued on the stage, and there was no idle backstage. In each lounge, the staff also asked questions in real time, such as their opinions on the results, their preparation status, etc.
After an hour and a half, the remaining three groups of contestants were all finished, and the four places for the second round also appeared.
They are 'Wandering Princess', 'White Lotus', 'Puppet Man', and 'Lion King', exactly two men and two women.
As for whether the effect is good or not, Su Yan thinks it should be pretty good.
It has been almost three hours since the recording, and there has been almost no audience leaving the scene. Even though the director just announced a break, most people are still unfinished and are sitting there discussing. The scene is quite interesting.
They focused on talking about what a pity the three eliminated contestants were, and how I didn’t expect that he (she) could sing so well, and then guessed who the contestant would be promoted to be.
It is easier to get things done when there are more people. Although Wang Jianguo is average in terms of creativity, his execution and on-site control skills are still very strong.
There are only four songs left, which are duets and the final showdown to find the first singer. It is expected that it will take just over an hour.
It is relatively easy to cut out a 90-minute program from nearly four hours of live content, plus post-production interviews, behind-the-scenes, etc.
Su Yan was not familiar with the others. Lao Wang was busy with something and didn't want to disturb him, so he went to Wang Qian's lounge.
As soon as he entered the door, the makeup artist was touching up his makeup. He saw Su Yan coming in in the mirror and said hello first.
"Director Su is here, take a seat first, I'll be here soon."
After looking around, I found that the environment was pretty good, with an area of about 10 square meters, a leather sofa, a lot of drinks and snacks on the small table, and a TV hanging on the wall showing a live broadcast.
"Isn't anyone else here?" Su Yan casually grabbed a cup of black tea to drink.
"I've said hello before. I've been recording for more than 2 hours, so I'm probably tired."
"Didn't the director and others come to take a look?"
"I was invited, but I heard that I was going to the city for a meeting, but the secretary was there. I told him to send the samples to him as soon as possible after cutting them."
The two chatted for a while, and then a staff member came in to sort out the next process with Wang Qian. Su Yan did not stay any longer, asked where Xiao Nanyuan's waiting room was, and then left.
I knocked on the door and it was opened by someone who looked like an agent.
Seeing that Su Yan did not have a staff badge hanging on his body, the other party did not open the door immediately: "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Xiao Nanyuan here?"
Brother Nan's voice came from inside: "Is this Director Su? Come in quickly."
When I walked in, I saw that idols Maki and Brother Nan were in the same waiting room, and the person who opened the door should be his manager.
Maki was a little surprised to see Brother Nan next to him asking the makeup artist to stop for a while and getting up to greet the visitor.
Although the two only met today, through their managers and chatting, they knew that each other was a rising star in the hosting industry.
The ratings are ridiculously high, and his hosting style is also very popular. It can be said that his future is limitless, and his manager just quietly hinted that he can be friends with her properly.
You can't blame him. When Su Yan was a special audience, the guests sitting in the back couldn't see clearly.
The manager next to me was very smart. He directly pulled a staff member aside to ask, and immediately gave him the answer. The director of a popular variety show is also the main planner of the show he is currently participating in.
Although Mu Mu has only been in the industry for a few years, he knows more about people and the world than the average young person.
He quickly took out his new album and handed it to Su Yan respectfully.
"Hello director, I am Maki, the leader of FTT group. This is our new album. Please appreciate it."
Su Yan was quite familiar with this group. In his previous life, he wanted to invite them to be guests on his radio show, but was rejected by his manager.
Because it is just a small show, FTT is a popular idol group. Not only are they handsome, they can sing and dance, and they have a lot of fans.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, the other party took the initiative to make friends, which also made me sigh.
He politely took the album and looked at it in his hand.
Brother Nan took the initiative to introduce me.
"Mushen, this is director Su Yansu. You know "Star! Refrigerator"? It's the program I host. It's the first director whose ten o'clock weekend ratings can threaten the Saturday show.
You are also the noble person who supports me. As I told you, I was an online anchor before, but Director Su discovered me and now I have officially joined the TV station."
Brother Nan spoke very sincerely, and Mu Mu listened carefully.
However, Su Yan was a little unaccustomed to praising himself in such a disgusting and straightforward manner.
With Brother Nan deliberately cooperating, the three of them chatted happily.
When the staff came to remind him to start filming, Mu Mu went out of his way to persuade Su Yan to stay.
"Director Su, if there is a chance, I hope to cooperate with you."
