I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 152
After lunch, Zhou Dingran put on his classic fat-headed fish style and headed all the way to Zhejiang TV Station.

His rehearsal time is three o'clock at noon, and the duration is one hour.

Originally, according to Zhou Dingran's idea, the rehearsal would only take half an hour, but when he thought that he was going to sing the original songs, and also needed some rare musical instruments, to be on the safe side, he no longer refused Wang Xiu's suggestion and chose An hour to rehearse.

Arriving in front of Zhejiang Satellite TV, Zhou Dingran saw many fans waiting on both sides of the road waving lights and signs far away.

This makes Zhou Dingran very strange. After all, the contestants of "The King of Masked Singer" basically perform in masks, and most of them only stay for one episode before being eliminated. Who are these people holding up the light signs to support?

When I look closer, oh, it turns out that it supports the fat-headed fish, so that’s okay.

Zhou Dingran thought for a moment, then opened the curtains in an instant and waved to the fans on the roadside.

When Zhou Dingran's huge fish head and iconic dead fish eyes appeared in front of many fans, the scene immediately became a sensation. Many people excitedly walked forward and shouted the name of "Fat Head Fish" and shook the light signs crazily. .

More people just picked up their mobile phones and took crazy photos, taking photos with the vehicles.

All of a sudden, the nanny car was stuck in place.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu reluctantly picked up his cell phone and contacted the security department at the station. Then he was escorted by security personnel and slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the TV station.

"Don't do this next time, it will waste too much time." Wang Xiu reminded.

Zhou Dingran chuckled and said, "It's okay. The time wasted will be deducted from my rehearsal time."

Wang Xiu choked for a moment, you are really a clever guy!
At this time, the car stopped in front of the elevator hall in the underground parking lot. As soon as Zhou Dingran got off the car, a TV station staff member came up to help Zhou Dingran put on the headset. There was already a camera nearby recording his every move.

Without saying a word, Zhou Dingran walked straight into the studio after getting out of the elevator.

On the way, many staff saw the arrival of the fat-headed fish, and each of them quietly picked up their mobile phones to take pictures. Although such behavior was expressly prohibited in the station, very few complied with it. After a while, many WeChat work groups related to Zhejiang Satellite TV began. News came that Fathead Fish had arrived in the studio.

Director Zuo Qiuliang rushed to the studio immediately after seeing the news.

At this moment, music director Lin Cheng was already waiting in front of the studio. When he saw the fat-headed fish, he immediately stepped forward and greeted him warmly: "Senior, please come this way."

Zhou Dingran asked: "Has the arrangement of my new song been completed?"

Lin Cheng nodded immediately: "It's done, senior. In order to enhance the effect of the song, I also specially found four harmonies. Do you mind?"

"It's okay." Zhou Dingran said with a smile: "You are the arranger, so naturally I will listen to you."

Lin Cheng smiled bitterly. Although he was the arranger, when writing this new song, he arranged it completely according to the senior's suggestion. He was just a robot that helped with processing. This song The thoughts and brains of the song all belong to others.

But thinking about this new song, Lin Cheng secretly praised it in his heart.

"Once again, Wen Chao Gong wrote the lyrics and composed the music himself, and he has continued his high-level creations in the past. Even among a group of first-tier and super first-tier singers, this kind of work does not fall behind at all. It is definitely a work that can become a hit."

"Who is this fat-headed fish? He actually has such a close relationship with Wen Chao Gong? Even Wei Xiao doesn't have such a relationship with Wen Chao Gong, right? Damn it! Lao Zuo didn't reveal a word!"

"No matter what, there are many strong players tonight, and none of them are here to fight. It will definitely be a big battle tonight!"

At this thought, Lin Cheng's heart surged. After sending Fat-headed Fish to the stage for rehearsal, he saw director Zuo Qiuliang panting running from a distance, and as soon as he arrived, he asked: "Has it started yet? Fat-headed Fish's rehearsal has begun. ?"

When he saw Fathead Fish communicating with the band teachers, Zuo Qiu Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I'm not late."

Lin Cheng smiled and said: "Director Zuo, you rarely come to this studio during rehearsals. Forget it last time, are you coming today?"

"I'm the director, I can come anytime."

Zuo Qiuliang changed the subject with a serious look on his face: "Is it the new song written by Fathead Fish or written by Mr. Wen Chao himself? How is the quality?"

"One word, thumbs up!"

Lin Cheng gave a thumbs up: "And it's not just a general thumbs up. Compared with "Xiao Chou", I think this new song is more suitable for competition. Of course, it will also test Fathead Fish's singing skills."

"Where are the lyrics? Are there any lyrics?"

Zuo Qiuliang asked. Although he didn't know how to compose music, he could definitely understand the quality of a lyric.

But when he got the lyrics of Fathead Fish's new song, he was dumbfounded.

He knew all the words, but when they were put together, he felt like he couldn't understand them.

“What is this song about?”

The first time he read it, he felt it was a bit brain-burning, but after reading it again, he felt vaguely enlightened.

"This lyrics has such a strong sense of sadness, loneliness, wandering and emptiness..."

"It's like a person who is reborn for love and travels through thousands of years to find his lover..."

"I wonder what effect it will have when it is sung?"

Zuo Qiuliang was fully expecting it. After looking at each other with Lin Cheng, he started to stand in front of the stage, looking forward to Fathead Fish's first rehearsal.

For this rehearsal, the band teachers all got the music scores in advance, but there is an instrument called Shakuhachi, which is an ancient traditional Chinese instrument, but none of the band teachers can play it. For this purpose, the program team specially invited relevant majors from Qiantang Conservatory of Music. teacher to play the instrument.

In addition, in order to set off the atmosphere of the song, Lin Cheng also invited four harmonies, two men and two women, to complement Fathead Fish's singing.

It can be said that the fat-headed fish was given super luxurious treatment.

And Fathead Fish lived up to expectations. During the first rehearsal, although they were still a little unfamiliar with working with each other, when a song ended, everyone was filled with excitement and their hearts were surging.

"Stable!"

Zuo Qiuliang was also excited beyond words: "This song will definitely be a hit. Believe me, my feeling is not wrong."

"Which song by Fathead Fish is not a hit?"

Lin Cheng shook his head, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

He was very fond of Fat-headed Fish. Other singers sang famous songs as soon as they came, and they were famous songs that were completely known to the public. But when Fat-headed Fish came, all the songs he sang were new and original.

Moreover, every song is so classic and of surprisingly high quality. It has only been two episodes and it has directly increased the ratings of the show.

Such a singer, who wouldn't like him to stay for a few more episodes?
Even Lin Cheng wanted to suggest to the program team to extend the number of episodes of "The King of Masked Singer" this season.

You know, each season of "The King of Masked Singer" only has ten episodes, and now more than half of the episodes have been recorded. If you want to listen to Fathead Fish's new songs in the future, the probability will decrease infinitely with each episode.

Because since the filming of "The King of Masked Singer" for five seasons, even the truly top singers and national team players have only won the championship four times on this stage, which is known as the Quadruple Champion in history.Although Fathead Yu's singing skills are indeed very good, he doesn't have many advantages compared to the real top singers.

Fathead Fish has been able to reach this point by relying on unexpected new songs, and each new song is of top quality. After all, it is the work of a five-star songwriter and humanities copywriter. Whoever sings those songs will get super bonus points.

And once Fathead Fish fails to survive four episodes and cannot break the record, Lin Cheng can imagine how the ratings of "The King of Masked Singer" will plummet.

If it were other program groups, for the sake of ratings, they would probably conduct some behind-the-scenes operations to force the fat-headed fish to stay.

But "The King of Masked Singer" is different. The program team focuses on fairness and justice. Even if the real singer comes, everyone must be treated equally.

The most "despicable" behavior of starting a small game is just to arrange the order of the players so that some strong players will not meet the strong ones at the beginning and be eliminated prematurely.

For example, in the last episode of the program, before the rehearsal and recording of the program, it was clearly noticed that the song "Xiaochou" was biased toward folk songs in terms of lyrics and music, and the winning rate of folk songs on the competitive stage was extremely low. For this reason, the program The team then conducted some "secret operations" to arrange for some weaker players to participate in the competition in advance, while some strong players were temporarily postponed.

Although this allowed Fathead Fish to advance steadily.

But this resulted in the stage of the fifth program being as strong as a forest.

Almost every one of them is a "first-line" or "super first-line" singer.

The weakest one is also a second-tier singer. Although his popularity is low, his strength is at the national team level.

In front of these strong men, Fat-headed Fish's powerful singing skills did not appear so outstanding, so he had to be more careful in selecting songs. If it was a folk song, Lin Cheng could almost directly declare that Fat-headed Fish had got the death penalty card in this episode. .

Fortunately, the new songs are really good.

Don't lose to anyone in this competitive arena.

……

[-]:[-] p.m.

After seven or eight hours of rehearsals, the official recording of "The King of Masked Singer" is about to begin.

Although it was a little late, when they learned that the contestants were given more time to rehearse, the audience all chose to forgive and started lining up to enter.

Soon, the studio was filled with spectators.

At the same time, in the player lounge backstage, Zhou Dingran was also being interviewed by Zhejiang Satellite TV.

After off-site host Feng Yu finished interviewing each contestant, he finally came to the long-favorite contestant Fathead Fish and expressed his affection in succession.

"I, including my whole family, are completely your fans, and I can sing all your songs!"

"Yes, yes, I know the lyrics by heart. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

"I am your die-hard fan. Oh, by the way, on Weibo, netizens spontaneously formed a fan group called Yutou Army. Did you know? It is said that the number of fans in the group has exceeded tens of thousands! I am also one of them One member!”

Zhou Dingran watched the pretty female host chattering excitedly and looked helplessly at Wang Xiu next to her.

Wang Xiu understood and immediately said: "Let the interview end for now. The players need time to adjust."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask one last question."

Feng Yu seemed to wake up and hurriedly asked a work-related question: "Can you tell us about the new song you brought today? What type is it? Is it still a work by Wenzhao Gong? Or this song What’s the story behind the song?”

When Zhou Dingran heard this, his heart moved, and he said: "This song is a theme song specially composed by Wenzhao Gong for a fairy tale TV series. If you have not watched the TV series, you may have difficulty understanding the lyrics, so if you want If you understand this song and its story, you can watch this Xianxia TV series in the future to find out more."

Feng Yu was still very cautious about copyright-related issues and did not blurt out the name of the show. If it was a work of a friendly channel, wouldn't it be a free publicity for the other party?
So after answering the questions, Feng Yu exited the lounge.

Before leaving, I also asked for a group photo.

"Your fans are really getting more and more." Wang Xiu smiled.

Zhou Dingran shrugged and said, "The worries of becoming famous."

On the other side, after receiving the news that the players were getting ready, director Zuo Qiuliang skillfully picked up the walkie-talkie and asked each unit and department one by one about the equipment inspection status and whether the personnel were in place.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Zuo Qiuliang felt the blood boiling in his body.

He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of tonight's match, which could be called the "Battle of the Century."

"Sure enough, only a strong showdown can surge the adrenaline in people's bodies!"

Zuo Qiuliang suppressed the excitement in his heart, glanced at the time, and began to shout: "The show has officially started recording, with a countdown of 3 minutes, the host is ready to appear..."

"Attention all units, the countdown begins...five, four, three, two, one!"

"start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, under the gaze of three hundred spectators, the magnificent opening music sounded in the studio.

On the stage, the huge dark red curtain also began to slowly rise.

The fifth episode of the fifth season of "The Masked Singer" has officially started recording.

With everyone cheering, host Meng Tai, wearing a blue suit, stepped onto the center of the stage with a smile on his face during the grand opening music.

Under the spotlight, Meng Tai bowed to the audience, picked up the microphone, and shouted passionately: "Ignore popularity, face and career, without any prejudice, directly compete with the purest singing, yes, it is still here The most mysterious music show in history——

"Mask! Face! Sing! King!"

The whole audience shouted along.

Everyone felt that the host and the director team were in surprisingly good condition today.

"In the last episode of the show, Fathead Fish had an undefeated record, stunning everyone with his song "Xiaochou", defeating singer Gong Fan's "Song to the Sky"!"

"The Fathead Fish has also become the second double winner of this season's show after Wei Xiao!"

Amid the applause and cheers of the people, Meng Tai quickly reviewed the previous program. When he looked down at the audience, a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Has the program team started to organize things like this now?
Because at the scene, there were lights and glow sticks waving everywhere.

The most important thing is that nearly one-third of the light signs have the name "Fat-headed Fish" written on them...

This is a proper home game!
