I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 96 "Legend of Sword and Fairy" ([-]-in-[-])

In the evening, before "The King of Masked Singer" started airing, previews of the program began to appear frequently on Weibo and Douyin hot search lists, and various trailers emerged, attracting the attention of many fans of the program.

Many netizens can't wait for the show to start airing.

From the first season to the fifth season of "The King of Masked Singer", every contestant's confidentiality work has been done very well. Before the show is broadcast, few people can guess the contestant's true identity. identity.

Because of this, "The Masked Singer" has always had a strong appeal to audiences.

Although Zhou Dingran also had the show "The King of Masked Singer" in his previous life, the masks prepared by the show team were too challenging for the audience's IQ.

Some contestants even went on stage wearing only a pair of sunglasses. This is a clear insult to your IQ and leaves you speechless. It also completely loses the meaning of the words "The King of Masked Singer". It was even revealed before the broadcast. Examples of player identity information abound.

But the current show "The King of Masked Singer" has always and consistently insisted on implementing the word "masked" to the end.

Even the contestants will sign a confidentiality contract before participating. If the identity is leaked due to the player's fault, there will be certain financial compensation.

In this case, many contestants have their entire bodies hidden in huge props and costumes, not to mention their appearance. The main character is one that makes people guess.

This also ensures the mystery of the show "The King of Masked Singer". Therefore, after the first four seasons of the show are broadcast, it will have a good ratings. In the first and second seasons, it even topped the ratings of all platforms at the same time many times. champion.

Even though it is now in its fifth season, this show still has a huge audience, and it was already full of topics before it was broadcast.

Zhou Dingran is paying attention to this program.

The biggest reason is because he is determined to participate in "The Masked Singer".

After all, this is the first program to send him an invitation since he terminated his contract, and except for "The King of Masked Singer", no program team has sent him an invitation at all in the past few days.

Although Zhou Dingran successfully terminated his contract with Tianmang, many employers were unwilling to create a gap with Tianmang out of thin air for him before he could prove his worth.

Even in Douyin, Zhou Dingran has many brands willing to cooperate with him, but this is limited to the business circle. In the entertainment circle, if you want to cooperate with Zhou Dingran, you still have to look at Tianmang's face.

Just like Fanghua, a second- and third-tier company, there is no way they can bear Tianmang's wrath. As long as they say hello, their various announcements will definitely get stuck.

So to this day, Zhou Dingran has not recommended himself to Fanghua.

Only a behemoth like a mobile communications company would have Zhou Dingran introduce himself to the other party as a copywriter.

But I don’t know why, since Zhou Dingran recommended “Zhou Dingran” to sing the advertising song “My Territory” to Yu Xiaoye, the business manager of Campus Card, two days ago, the other party has not contacted Zhou Dingran until now.

Zhou Dingran was a little confused about this, but he was very determined in his heart.

If the song "My Land" is not sung by himself, then he would rather the song not be sold to Mobile Communications.

He would try to cooperate with any force outside the entertainment industry. If he couldn't cooperate, would he want his songs?

Okay, for the work of a five-star songwriter, two to three million is not too much, right?
……

Zhou Dingran fumbled for the business card in his hand, turned on the hotel TV, and tuned to Zhejiang TV.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the fifth season of "The Masked Singer" officially started.

The entire program lasts for a total of one hour and four 10 minutes.

Zhou Dingran watched the whole show and became more and more interested in this program.

"This show really takes the word mystery to the extreme."

"The contestants completely hide their faces, ages and identity information, and only rely on their voices to compete in the elimination round. The audience will vote to select the contestant who sings the best. It is simple and crude, with no complicated links."

"The contestant who wins the championship in each program is named the Masked Singer. The Masked Singer can always challenge the Masked Singer of the next program. This cycle repeats. As long as the popularity is good enough and the singing is good enough, he can even be promoted from From the first episode of the show, stay until the last episode?”

Zhou Dingran smiled.

Laugh at yourself for being so naive.

The winning streak in the history of "The Masked Singer" is four times. In the past four years, only a handful of people have been able to win consecutively.

"Even if I have perfect singing skills, it may be possible to win the first championship, but it is simply wishful thinking to break the record of four championships."

Zhou Dingran thought: "Fortunately, I only need one opportunity for the show to be exposed. Even if I only record one episode, I can still create buzz."

He is completely different now from Zhou Dingran three months ago in terms of singing skills alone. After all, he already has elite-level singing skills. His singing skills are not comparable to those of popular singers, but among a group of idol singers, he is definitely outstanding. .

If he were allowed to return to the Miracle Boys, he would definitely be able to take on the lead vocal position.

"This is only the first episode, and it's already so popular!"

Opening the hot search list on Weibo, Zhou Dingran looked at the various hot searches about "The King of Masked Singer" that appeared on the hot search list. He was a little dull for a moment. Was "The King of Masked Singer" so popular in his previous life?
"No wonder the fifth season is still a huge topic."

Zhou Dingran looked around at the hot search list and was secretly speechless.

Only then did he discover that a foreign contestant who failed to compete in the first episode and left without revealing his face turned out to be Hollywood superstar Ryan.

Ryan has played in many super blockbusters. He is a popular American actor and an international superstar. He is also an opera singer, so his singing skills are naturally not bad.

But such a heavyweight singer and actor actually lost to the winner of the first period: "Smiling Clown" at the last moment!
That's why when Ruian lost the game and was revealed, it caused an uproar on major search lists. Many viewers who had not watched the first episode of "The Masked Singer" found the rerun version to watch.

As more and more people watch it, the popularity of "The King of Masked Singer" is like a volcano erupting, igniting the topic among the people.

Everyone is guessing who the "Smiling Clown" is.

"He is so virtuous and capable, but he actually eliminated Ruian!"

"In terms of singing skills alone, the two of them are evenly matched. Ruian failed because he didn't use his special skills. His ghost singing skills are simply amazing. I once watched his performance when he was an opera singer on the Internet. I was so excited when I heard it. My scalp is numb and my body is numb."

"The Smiling Clown's singing skills are indeed not bad. It's an honor for Ryan to lose!"

"Ryan is a bit unlucky, only missing by a dozen votes!"

……

Zhou Dingran watched the entire episode of "The King of Masked Singer". There were eight contestants in total, and he was not familiar with the other seven. Even after their faces were revealed, he could not name some of the contestants.

But this "Smiling Clown" was too familiar to him.

Although the other party sang in a lowered voice and tried to hide his identity, Zhou Dingran, who had studied the other party's voice, guessed the identity of the "Smiling Clown" immediately.

"Isn't it Wei Xiao?"

Zhou Dingran once gave "The Lonely Warrior" to Wei Xiao to sing, and learned that Wei Xiao's ID on Haijiao.com was "Smile", so after seeing the code name of the smiling clown and hearing the other party's voice, Zhou Dingran's mind Wei Xiao's name popped up unconsciously.

Although it's not certain yet, it's very likely.

He casually searched the words "King of Masked Singer Wei Xiao" on Weibo and found that many netizens were also guessing whether the "Smiling Clown" contestant himself was Wei Xiao.

Some people even swear by their former girlfriend's ten-year lifespan to prove that this is Wei Xiao.

However, in the hot search on Weibo, netizens guessed that there were four or five names, and Wei Xiao was not the most popular option.

"Someone is confusing things."

Zhou Dingran saw something fishy.

This suddenly piqued his interest.

"This program team knows how to hype things up so well that they even took the initiative to send a public relations team to stir up trouble."

"No wonder it's so popular. Participate. You must participate."

"I hope that with this show, I can turn around!"

Although he thought so, Zhou Dingran did not pin all his hopes for a comeback on the show "The King of Masked Singer".

After all, his singing skills are only at the elite level. He is outstanding among idols, but compared with real powerful singers, he is still far behind. "It would be great if I could redeem my master-level singing skills..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Dingran looked at the system interface.

It has been three or four days since the last time I spent 200 million favorability points to purchase the song "My Place".

At that time, Zhou Dingran's favorability value was only over 400 million.

After spending 200 million to purchase "My Land", there are still 270 million favorability points left.

During this period, Zhou Dingran was busy traveling, shooting short videos, etc. Zhou Dingran never checked the system interface.

Now I am surprised to find that the favorability points I have accumulated have exceeded [-] million.

To be precise, it is 140 million favorability points.

So fast?
A sudden increase of 900 million points in three days?
Zhou Dingran was stunned.

In addition to 1140 million favorability points, even the love and adoration points have increased to a certain extent.

When the admiration value reaches 3270 points, you can draw three times.

When the worship value reaches 229 points, you can draw two draws.

Zhou Dingran suddenly had the illusion of turning into a serf and singing.

"Is this the reason why the third short video was released?"

He actually already had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't believe that a short video could have such a great influence.

Although now, the number of likes on his third short video has exceeded 800 million likes at 1200 o'clock in the evening, from more than [-] million likes in the morning.

But he still felt a little unreal.

"Why did I work so hard to get into the entertainment industry?"

"In order to play more favorite roles and produce better works."

"But if I keep making videos, keep accumulating popularity, and get various points, then wouldn't I be able to keep producing various entertainment works?"

"When I accumulate a certain number of works, wouldn't it be more fun if I directly set up a film, television and music company and sing and make movies by myself?"

Zhou Dingran became more and more excited as he thought about it, but he soon calmed down.

"Although the system is good, it has certain uncertainties, such as..."

Zhou Dingran directly took out [-] points of favorability points and drew ten consecutive draws.

【Thank you for your patronage! 】

Sure enough, the system is still so cold and heartless.

Zhou Dingran had already been mentally prepared and was not surprised by this result, but he turned his attention to the admiration and admiration points.

Based on last experience.

Film and television scripts can be drawn in the Admiration Lottery Area.

Literary works can be drawn from the worship value lottery area.

And in the first lottery, the probability reached [-]%, and he won "Young You" and "Celebrating More Than Years" respectively.

Now, it is time to verify the urinary properties of the system.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth, spent 1000 points of admiration, and started the lottery.

【Thank you for your patronage! 】

Zhou Dingran's eyes twitched, "It's really Murphy's law. The more you are afraid of something, the more it will come!"

After wasting 1000 points of admiration and getting nothing, Zhou Dingran was not too discouraged. After all, the points of admiration came too easily this time, and he was not very distressed, so he casually threw in another 2000 points of admiration.

The second draw is still a reminder to thank you for your patronage.

But when the third draw was held, the draw page erupted with an astonishing milky white light.

[Congratulations on getting the blind box for film and television works. Do you want to open it? 】

Zhou Dingran's heart jumped into his throat. He had given up any hope. Unexpectedly, he got another blind box!

"Turn on!"

He suppressed his inner excitement and turned it on immediately.

[Congratulations on winning the TV series script "Legend of Sword and Fairy". 】

Zhou Dingran was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly muttered something in his heart.

"It turned out to be "Legend of Sword and Fairy"!"

"Hu Ge's version?"

Zhou Dingran couldn't believe it, and even felt like he was lucky, "I'm so lucky!"

He was really surprised because he knew how popular this TV series was in his previous life. It could even be called the originator of fairy tale dramas, and it was an unbreakable myth.

It was broadcast during the summer vacation, and the streets and alleys that year were filled with the singing of the TV series' theme song "June Rain". This was also one of the few songs that Zhou Dingran could sing in full.

It was also in that year that Ling'er's words "Brother Xiaoyao" entered the hearts of many people.

Various peripheral products of TV series are often sold out as soon as they are released.

In that era when the Internet was underdeveloped, it was when stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan dominated the entertainment industry, but two young top-notch actors suddenly emerged. Compared with the traffic stars who have developed the Internet now, the former's gold content can be said to be Crush levels.

Until 20 years later, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is still regarded as a classic.

Even though countless fairy tale dramas have emerged, there is still no fairy tale drama that can surpass its status.

"Take a shower and calm down first."

Zhou Dingran originally wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when he touched it casually, he remembered that he had quit this habit, so he got up and rinsed his body in the bathroom.

Even if he picked out "Youth's 豼" or "Celebrating More Than Years", the script of the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" actually didn't shock him as much.

Because of this show, he could only watch the two newcomers come out and become popular all over the country in an instant.

He still remembers that shocking feeling clearly.

At the same age, Hu Ge was already a top star, while Zhou Dingran was still playing a small role in an unknown crew at the time.

Even Lei Jiayin, who had acted with him and had a supporting role, was squatting on the roadside with him back then, watching with envy as Hu Ge's posters were snapped up by countless people.

Back then, Lei Jiayin used to brag that Hu Ge was his senior brother and an actor in theaters, but he was ridiculed by many people...

The past is like smoke, and I can't bear to look back.

After taking a shower, Zhou Dingran stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in this life. He had red lips and white teeth, and was pretty and handsome. He was not inferior to Hu Ge back then.

"Then, the role of Li Xiaoyao belongs to me."
