China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 682 The 76-meter Nishinomiya Empress and "The Play of Drawing Silk"

The recording location of "The King of Masked Singer" was in Fanxing Film and Television City, which built a large number of professional variety show recording studios.

With professional equipment, strong logistical support, and various other assistances, it can meet almost 90% of the needs of indoor variety shows, and even a lot of outdoor variety shows.

Over time, it is now not only the Queen's recording location for Fanxing's indoor variety show.

Even Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has a large number of programs where the recording location is placed here.

You know, Gyeonggi is a developed area of ​​the entertainment industry, especially with the influence of stars, it is a bit more prosperous than the original time and space.

Several TV stations may have their own studios, but most of the programs produced by entertainment companies or variety shows on online platforms are mainly rented recording studios.

Even TV programs in non-Gyeonggi areas are actually recorded in studios in the capital and Shanghai area.

This not only saves costs, but is also convenient and fast, and it is convenient for guests to come and go in a big city.

With the presence of a large number of variety show studios, and the Fanxing Film and Television Base, it was originally the largest film and television city in the north.

However, Fan Xing and the others belonged to the special series today, and were not included in the elimination promotion, so it was naturally a little different from the normal competition system.

"The King of Masked Singers" has its own competition system. In each period, six singers will compete in pairs. In the end, the loser will reveal his face and the winner will advance to the next round.

The mode of variety show + filming makes Fanxing Film and Television City full of stars every day, and you can meet two or three well-known entertainers just by walking around.

The judges knew a lot about variety shows and immediately understood what they might need for publicity. This is not new in variety shows.

"I've never seen this appearance before."

Cao Xuan is not one of those singers who are eager to be exposed, wishing to tell the audience his name.

After singing a song, Huang Bo used the voice changer to change his voice into an electronic sound and began to interact with the judges together with the host, giving clues whether true or false, which aroused all kinds of guesses from the judges.

"The orchid finger twists the world of mortals like water

Liu Yan, Hua Shao, Meng Guangtou and other hosts were not available, so the task naturally fell to Jia Ling.

All the judges are gearing up, and the various departments of the program group are also undergoing final adjustments. After about ten minutes, everyone is in position and the official recording begins.

Rehearsals, costume changes, and it's almost time for the official recording.

The starry version of "The King of Masked Singer" will naturally not make this mistake, and "I Am a Singer" will be eliminated head-on, and naturally it will not take into account the revealing of the loser.

In the past two years, he even started to set foot in the field of hosts. Relying on his extremely high EQ and humorous eloquence, he quickly became another popular host of Fanxing.

This made Da Zhang Wei a little bit excited, and couldn't wait to know who wrote such a fine ancient style again.

And a large number of real estate and commercial real estate in and around Fanxing Film and Television City are all under the name of the film and television base.

"At least two guesses must be correct today."

Wang Ya, who was born in the Academy of Chinese Opera, is an expert. She took a look at her with a puzzled expression.

These judges didn't have much power, they mainly interacted with the singers and made gags to make the scene more lively, so they found more variety show stars.

May who remember who, the best age
......"

I don't know which little clever ghost suggested it, because the statue is taken from the movie "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", so when designing, the face shape and appearance of the statue more or less have the shadow of the movie.

So if you want to hide your identity, you have to work hard, but the singer was perfunctory, and the judges in the audience knew it well, so they followed suit. "The King of Masked Singer" became the masked actor, showing a fake.

.........

Coupled with some other blindfolds to confuse the video, it can greatly trouble the jury and the audience.

Not to mention the script or not, many singers' concealment methods are too perfunctory. You must know that every famous singer has his own characteristics. If he has a strong personality, he may be recognized as soon as he opens his mouth.

But if you know the answer, and then compare carefully, you can still vaguely see that they are three or four points alike.

"Zhang Yu?"

Qi Wei asked with a smile. She is also one of the jury members. Although the status of a singer has become somewhat blurred in recent years, and she is more active as an actor, her foundation is still there. Coupled with her lively and generous personality, she is very suitable to participate in such a program.

Huang Bo was the first to say his name, followed by Zeng Li who was next to him: "My name is Tsing Yi."

"Get up, I'm called Xiaokouchangkai."

"In this way, let's rehearse the song first, and then change the costumes. By the way, have you thought about the nicknames of the three of you?"

However, before he could start thinking about it, he heard the melody of the lyrics on the stage fall, and suddenly played a turn, [Tsing Yi]'s voice raised, and the high-pitched burst out, it was a dramatic tune.

That is to say, it was Wu Zetian who was standing, and there was no incense to worship, it was more of a tourist nature, and the appearance was specious, otherwise Cao Xuan would never nod, fearing that Zeng Li would not move his back.

Compared with other singers, Huang Bo's voice is not much disguised, but he is not a singer after all, and there are not many opportunities to open his voice, and his voice is still relatively unfamiliar to most people.

This rising comedy star who grew up from "Let's Run" not only appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, but also developed quite well in the field of variety shows.

Because of its special format, "The King of Masked Singer" needs a smart and eloquent host to play a role in guessing the identity.

Since the unveiling session has not yet come, even if the judges guessed right or wrong, the program team did not reveal the answer, but invited the next masked singer—【Tsing Yi】.

Su Wei: "..."

This is the meaning of the mask in "The King of Masked Singer".

Zeng Li didn't hold back either, and was stunned: "Aren't you afraid of being hit by your nickname?"

I haven't heard any characteristics from the sound for the time being. Everyone first distinguishes them according to their body shape, and then slowly eliminates them.

We don't know if it's to take care of the face of the eliminated, so we made a rule of [win or lose, lose or win].

Nine times out of ten this is likely to be a new song, and from the perspective of melody and lyrics, the standard is quite good.

Some people even disguise themselves and sing in falsetto, which can even make people wonder whether they are men or women.

As a result, the sense of disobedience is extremely strong, making people laugh and cry, not knowing what to say, greatly reducing competition, wasting a good selling point, and attracting countless complaints.

While speaking, Zeng Li shook his sleeves a few times, danced along with the prelude for a few moments, stepped back, picked up the microphone hidden in his sleeve, and parted his red lips lightly.

Although "The King of Masked Singer" is not a trump card program, as a new variety show, it is considered to be valued, and the sequence and quality of the recording studio are not bad.

As soon as the car drove into the vicinity of Fanxing Film and Television City, the first thing I saw was a giant statue soaring into the sky.

Looking at the statue alone, no one would be able to tell at a glance that this statue has the shadow of Empress Nishinomiya.

"Not afraid."

Three-foot red platform, everything is singing
Singing farewell for a long time is not enough to make me sad, the very red place turns to ashes

He has held important positions in "The Voice of China" and "I Am a Singer" before, and this time there is a new music variety "The Masked Singer" with him as the mainstay.

The original Korean version is that the loser reveals his face, and he is considered eliminated. He reveals his face, and some topics are not a loss. The winner continues to go down and accumulate popularity. In the end, the champion of the finals reveals his face and harvests all. Glory and heat.

If it weren't for Jia Ling's own attention, which was more focused on variety shows and performances, and he was not particularly enthusiastic about the host career, I am afraid that the first sister Malanpo, who is known for her "humorous host", would have a headache.

"I think it's more like Yu Chengqing."

There are countless entertainers in the entertainment industry who have been plucked by the paparazzi of reporters, but Cao Xuan is not alone in making money from the paparazzi, but there are not many who have this ability.

Me and you, the most natural couple

Da Zhangwei was a masked singer in the first phase, but was eliminated later and became a member of the jury directly.

"Whether it is broken or not is another matter. Since it is to guess the identity, the deeper it is hidden, the more interesting it will be."

Therefore, many journalist paparazzi have lived in Fanxing Film and Television City for a long time, squatting on guard, and some have opened their studios near Fanxing Film and Television City.

Several members of the jury were a little shocked, especially Da Zhang Wei, who was the only active professional singer among them, and he was a singer-songwriter.

Most of the judges are singers and variety show cafes. Since many masked singers are Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, there are often Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in each issue.

"..."

"Don't be too polite, we'll just listen to you when we arrive at your site, and you can arrange it."

"Wu Qixian?"

So when Huang Bo sang, the judges and the audience were analyzing who this [laughing] was.

Zeng Li was silent, but Huang Bo laughed out loud: "Don't say it, this name sounds very domineering, and it fits your situation, but I want to listen, I guess I can't guess it's you, because this name is not you style of."

Of course, there is a big gap between the statue and the real person, let alone just a bit of a shadow of the movie.

The Tongtian Pagoda in the movie is 66 feet high, which is almost 220 meters in today's measurement, which is higher than the 208-meter-high Central Plains Buddha, the tallest statue in China.

It’s not that Cao Xuan praised and stomped, but the original Korean version was indeed produced with more care. Although there are some elements of acting, it is also possible to hide the singer as much as possible.

Cao Xuan was very calm, but he still explained: "The more this is the case, the less likely it is me. Think about it, if you heard this nickname, would you think it was me?"

People took turns to inquire about it, but Jia Ling's tone was very tight, and everyone was not surprised.

One side is doing all it can to hide, and the other side is racking their brains to guess riddles. This is the biggest highlight of this show...

"Who is there? Send me a letter."

Hu Jing also looked differently, because of this statue, the Empress of the East Palace was not less jealous, and Cao Xuan was forced to think about getting another statue of the Four Beauties or Hua Mulan someday, adding some Hu Jing's private goods...

Wang Ya can also be said to be the youngest and least famous member of the jury, and everyone is a brother/sister/teacher.

"It may also be Hu Haiquan."

Say it again, I didn't remember!

As soon as Jia Ling introduced the rules, the audience was okay. After all, most of them were entrusted, and the show had just aired, so many people didn't know much about the competition system.

It is the first time that Su Wei is the director and person in charge of the show. He attaches great importance to "The King of Masked Singer", and he also wants to become a hit and become famous. The arrival of Cao Xuan and others is a good opportunity for him. He really wants to Play this card well.

Compared to Huang Bo, who just wore a hood and was dressed in an ordinary way, Zeng Li's [Tsing Yi] disguise was more gorgeous.

"Whoever laughs at the beauty
How to match without heart

Such a...funny nickname, 99% of people would never think of him.

The previous contestants also kept secrets. Some of them guessed it, and some didn't. They kept fighting wits and courage with the program team. After the two episodes, they even aroused a lot of enthusiasm for them.

What is even more speechless is the competition system. The "King of Masked Singer" in the original time and space has a so-called "glory unveiling", that is, the winner reveals his face.

He asked himself that he was fairly familiar with the Chinese music scene, but he had never heard of this song... Recalling it, he just had the impression that it was called "Drawing Silk Opera".

Because they were hiding their identities, Cao Xuan and his party didn't disturb others. Under the guidance of the editor and director, they went straight to the dressing room, and then met the program director Su Wei.

The song is "You Are My Eyes", originally sung by Xiao Huangqi, but it was singer Lin Youjia who sang the circle.

"I kind of think so."

"But the voice is not the same, Zhang Yu's voice is a little thicker."

It is precisely because of this cause and effect that every time Zeng Li and Cao Xuan come to Fanxing Film and Television City, they will look at this statue differently.

This competition system is similar to the original Korean version, but it is quite different from the domestic one.

In other words, more than half of the landlords of these paparazzi reporters are surnamed Cao.

This is the normal logical flow of the competition system, and the result was messed up by domestic reforms. Those who won revealed their faces and left, and those who lost continued to compare.

"Boss, Mr. Zeng, Mr. Huang, everyone has worked hard all the way."

At the recording site, the host Jia Ling is introducing today's special competition system to the audience and the jury.

Fanxing Film and Television City is not so exaggerated, but it also has a 76-meter statue. It can be ranked among the top fifteen statues in China, and it can be ranked number one in the world.

This time, she also asked her agent to get acquainted with a person in charge of "The King of Masked Singer", and put her in the program group to brush her face.

She was dressed in a Tsing Yi theater costume, with a sky blue dress and two water sleeves dancing, and a women's ink theater mask on her face, her makeup was charming and mournful.

There is no way, the four masked singers are not permanent guests, and they will not stay for a long time, so the winner must be decided in one go, and all of them will be unveiled.

This statue of Wu Zetian originated from the Tongtian Pagoda in the movie "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire". The movie was synthesized with special effects at that time, and it was not actually built.

However, in Cao Xuan's opinion, the most interesting thing about this statue is not its height and cost, but its face shape.

The sound of the bell is crisp, and the lights between the curtains are faint

On the contrary, he wished that everyone would not be able to guess who he was, and strictly ordered the program crew not to reveal his identity before he came, so that it would be interesting and have fun.

The person who asked the question was Wang Ya, an artist who signed into Fanxing at the same time as Sun Yanyan, Di Lirouba, Anze and others, but her development was not as good as these contemporaries, and now she barely entered the third tier.

The number of judges is not fixed, sometimes there are five members, sometimes seven members, and the judges are not fixed, some are permanent, some are single-period, and some even run both on and off stage.

The four masked singers adopt the ring system and perform in turn to perform and judge. The winner defends the ring, and the loser reveals his face until the end. The winner has a glorious reveal and gets some rewards.

Coupled with other basic necessities of life operated by the base, Cao Xuan can make a lot of money from them.

There is nothing special about the clothes, but it is a bit fat to hide the figure, but there is a round yellow emoji smiling face on the top of the head.

Cao Xuan looked at the mask hanging next to him, and smiled: "I am the only one in the sky, the earth, the world and the world, and I am the only one who respects Dugu Qiubai, the Great Demon King."

......"

Huang Bo's analysis did not forget to flatter, but his words were not unreasonable. Cao Xuan's character is low-key, mature and stable, and has a high position and authority. He has a special aura in everyone's hearts.

Cao Xuan came to the show today with Zeng Li and Huang Bo. These two main creators of "Dear" are also professional singers, so they came together.

And the actor of Wu Zetian in "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire" is Zeng Li who is looking up at the statue next to her at this time.

"The body shape is a bit similar."

Seeing Cao Xuan's enthusiasm, the others didn't say anything. In fact, they also commented on whether the committee and the audience could guess.

"What the director explained is all special episodes and will not be included in previous events."

If someone doesn't know him very well, he may not be able to find out in a while.

But the five members of the judging panel who knew the inside story of the show were rather confused. How could the competition system be changed? What about the previous two episodes?
"Sister Ling, what's going on?"

If he could hide it until the end, Cao Xuan would have two more steamed buns for dinner tonight.

The "Legend of Wu Mei Niang" independently produced by Fan Xiaopang was filmed here. If there is no accident, this statue will also become an important plot of the TV series.

In fact, Cao Xuan has always wanted to complain about "The King of Masked Singer" by Yuan Shikong, but he couldn't even copy it.

That is the statue of Wu Zetian in the section of Fanxing Film and Television Base [Prosperous Tang City].

As for the others, they are variety show comedian Sha Yi, sunshine white horse Zhang Wei, and Taiwanese idol godmother Chen Qiaoen.

Cao Xuan has a little impression of this Su Wei, he can be regarded as a director cultivated by Fanxing himself.

The voice is clear and melancholy, and the melody is light and sad, as if the strings of a piano are being plucked, drawing people into it and slowly indulging in the singing.

The main body of the statue is made of copper, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is equipped with the Ming Palace complex, which was just completed last year.

Su Wei greeted enthusiastically, and the excitement in his eyes could not be stopped. If he was not rational, he would have looked up and laughed twice.

But later, with the success of the movie and the base's intention to create a landmark building, set up attractions, and attract tourists, a "spectacle" was created.

After the host Jia Ling opened, he quickly invited the first masked singer to the stage.

Zeng Li also understood this trick.Can't help complaining: "Indeed, who would have thought that the majestic King Cao Da Tian would be so sloppy and have such a bad nickname."

This part of the play is extremely amazing, it can be called the finishing touch, the judges' eyes lit up, and at the same time, they immediately delineated the candidate of [Tsing Yi].

"Li Yugang?"

"No, I'm familiar with this opera, it's the same as "The Drunken Concubine", it should be Teacher Zeng Li."

In terms of performance, Zeng Li was very successful, but unfortunately the song's personal characteristics are too strong, and he couldn't hide his identity at all, so he was recognized immediately.
