I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 448 Live Broadcast Night

The day the live broadcast begins.

A venue with a capacity of 500 people can be as lively as one with a capacity of 5000 people.

Every audience member who is selected is a relatively high-quality evaluator, not the atmosphere group that was common in previous periods, and they all have the responsibility to give fair and just repos.

As he walked along, Su Chengyi had already heard from the conversations of passers-by how much importance they attached to tonight's performance.

Everyone comes here with the expectations of their relatives and friends, and may have to write a 10,000-word review after returning home.

Of course, everyone's focus is clear and consistent.

There is only one heroine tonight, and she came at this time of war. Even if she just went on stage to recite a poem, it would be totally worth the ticket price.

Because tickets for this episode were so hard to buy, Xiao Zheng even made up an identity for Su Chengyi and himself, saying they were "an original singer duo who had participated in the Voice of China auditions, returnees from Berkeley, and very experienced."

The result, of course, was that they were ruthlessly exposed by the anti-counterfeiting team, and both of their ID cards were almost blocked.

The role-playing was a complete failure, so Xiao Zheng finally contacted director Hong Mao to help, and he made an exception and made room for the two of them.

The director looked like he hadn't slept for several days, with an artistic mess of hair.

He said it was the first time he had seen such a scene and it was truly astonishing.

In order to ensure order at the scene, the most expensive security team was hired at great expense.

If nothing unexpected happens, tonight will be one of the most grand banquets in the history of music variety shows.

And everyone here is a witness.

Su Chengyi walked through the crowd and accurately avoided several possible collisions and stampedes.

The expensive leather shoes that Xiao Zheng, who was with him, had just bought were completely unrecognizable.

"Hey, hey, hey, young master, you must be really cool at playing dodgeball and throwing sandbags, right?"

Xiao Zheng complained with a bitter face. His pair of leather shoes were high-end hand-made goods, specially prepared as formal wear for the show tonight.

"Yes, because I have social phobia, avoiding people is the norm."

Su Chengyi's tone of answer was very matter-of-fact.

"."

It seemed to make sense, and Xiao Zheng didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

The two walked around and found their own position.

The director specially arranged it, so it was the front row, but because the live broadcast would randomly cut the camera, Su Chengyi specifically requested to be in the corner of the camera blacklist.

Xiao Zheng tightened his shirt and tie and sat down gracefully.

It was as if this was really a banquet.

Su Chengyi was dressed casually, in a basic white T-shirt, light-colored jeans, and sneakers, like a backstage assistant who had mistakenly wandered into the audience.

Because it is a live broadcast, the order on the scene is definitely incomparable to the orderly recorded broadcasts in the past.

The host had calmed the crowd down several times on the stage, but the audience was still a little noisy, and no one could suppress their excitement.

"I heard that when the news first came out, many people were still voting for her, thinking she would definitely withdraw from the competition."

Xiao Zheng lowered his voice and said:
"You didn't expect it, right? I've really suffered a huge loss now. Even my buckwheat pillow is crying and sprouting."

Su Chengyi smiled and looked at the people coming and going in the employee passage on his right. Everyone was so anxious that they wished they had three heads and six arms.

Considering the popularity of this episode, not only Chen Jinzhi is preparing to give the most serious performance in recent episodes, but other singers are also preparing to give the most serious performance in recent episodes.

This overwhelming wealth is coming down upon us anyway, and whether you can catch it depends on yourself.

Not only that, the production team also publicly announced on Weibo that one contestant will be "unmasked" in this episode, becoming the first contestant to reveal his true face since the show began.

"Don't be afraid of storms, face everything head-on. Who will be the first singer to unveil his/her identity in this season's show? Please stay tuned, audience friends, everything will be live at 20:00 tonight!"

The feedback under this Weibo post was of course very enthusiastic.

"Oh my god, oh my god, is this true? Are you going to make such a big deal?"

"Oh my god, did this sister choose this time to reveal her true identity? Now I think the revelations are fake even more. If they are true, then her mental quality is not that of a human being."

"Don't be silly, this must be a hype by the production team. How could it be Iris? This is a live show, it's great that she can come to participate in the show."

"I agree with the above, anyone who knows Maozi's character will understand.

Preview: The peerless beauty reveals her face! Live: A sixty-year-old man dances passionately. "

“Hahahahahaha, the above person’s answer is correct! I am dying of laughter!”

"Damn it, who knocked me out with a stick and made me stay there until 8pm? I really can't wait any longer!!!"

Compared to the passers-by who are just watching the fun, Chen Jinzhi's fans are more worried.

I feel extremely uneasy because I realize that this is very likely the choice my artists would make.

"Oh my god, I really feel that Jin Zhi will choose to reveal her identity tonight. I'm so nervous."

"Oh, I really don't want her to be like this. Tonight is a live broadcast, if anything goes wrong it will really be a carnival for the haters."

"It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace. I support all of Iris' decisions. Under such circumstances, being able to stand on the stage is the greatest success. I don't ask for anything more."

"Don't worry, trust Jinzhi. She knows better than us what she can do. Just wait for the show to start."

The president of Iris's fan club has remained silent since he expressed his attitude on his personal Weibo last time and was forced to delete it after being criticized.

It was not until just before the live broadcast tonight that the program team’s revealing Weibo was reposted, and many fans expressed their comfort and apology.

Su Chengyi looked down at the time. There was only half an hour left before the live broadcast was to begin, and the scene still looked a mess.

On normal days he wouldn't pay attention to the affairs of the program crew, but today's event was very important to Chen Jinzhi, so he had to become a little nervous.

"Don't worry, it looks messy now, but it will be ready in seconds."

Xiao Zheng crossed his legs leisurely and patted his shoulder.

“I’ve watched at least a hundred live broadcasts of this kind, so it’s not a big problem.

Although this scene is huge, if even Hong Mao can’t handle it, then I really can’t think of any other team in China that can handle it.”

"it is good."

Su Chengyi was indeed comforted by Xiao Zheng's words.

The experience of the veteran in the entertainment industry is indeed not to be underestimated. Five minutes before the show started, when everything entered the final countdown, the scene immediately became quiet.

Su Chengyi, who had been sitting on the sidelines, didn't even realize when the situation began to change.

The host strode onto the stage to the rhythm of the speakers, stood under the spotlight, and greeted everyone present.

In order to keep in touch with the group, Su Chengyi also clapped symbolically.

But he is concerned about something else now.

"announcement."

Because mobile phones are not allowed to be used during the live broadcast, it is very risky to leak the information at this time point.

Although everything is ready, and all possible accidents and deviations have been considered,
Su Chengyi sighed.

I always feel like with things like this in my mind, I can't calm down and watch the show properly.

"The time has been set, and I have confirmed the process at least seventy or eighty times. There will be no mistakes, don't worry."

Xiao Zheng nodded firmly and patted his own trouser pocket.

"If there is a special situation, the studio staff will call me on this backup phone, and we can just leave and deal with it.

There can’t be any electronic devices under the live camera, so we have to cooperate.”

"it is good."

Su Chengyi actually just wanted to hear him say this.

I understand the logic, but I just need to make sure that things are developing safely enough so that I can feel relieved.

"Before this phone starts vibrating, Master, just be a spectator."

Xiao Zheng sighed, moved closer, and said in a low voice:
"After all, the eyes of the whole world are on your girlfriend. You can't be the only one who is absent-minded, right?"

"That's right."

Su Chengyi lowered his head and smiled.

Thinking that Chen Jinzhi was in the backstage lounge just across the wall, I felt that the nervousness was gradually replaced by anticipation.

The host on the stage was obviously nervous as well. He was originally one of the best hosts in the country.

The few minutes before the live broadcast officially started were originally reserved for him to liven up the atmosphere, something he was very good at, but today his eyes never left the script in his hands.

Su Chengyi counted and found that he took at least thirteen deep breaths in these five minutes.

Only after the countdown began did the host stand under the spotlight again.

"Nineteen. Eight." The sound effects on the scene are also top-notch equipment, moving along with the rhythm of the heartbeat as the numbers decrease.

"Three two. One!"

At the last second, the host gave his opening remarks to the camera with a smile on his face.

"Hello! Hello, everyone watching TV, welcome to this episode of "I Am the King of Masked Singer" live! I am the host of tonight's show, and now let the audience say hello to everyone!"

The camera turned to the end of the audience, and everyone cheered cooperatively.

Although Su Chengyi knew that he was in the blind spot of the live camera, he still subconsciously lowered his head and moved his body a little further into the darkness.

Xiao Zheng sighed and said that he originally wanted to sit in the middle so that he could make a "yeah" gesture to the camera and leave his mark in this grand performance.

For this reason, he found a very tricky angle to express his complaint.

"Sitting in this corner, will you be able to see your celebrity's face clearly?"

"It won't take long."

Su Chengyi said calmly.

"."

Xiao Zheng swore that he would never step into the trap of the two young lovers again, otherwise he would be fed with dog food anytime and anywhere.

After the host finished his lengthy speech, he read out a long list of sponsors.

Compared to the first issue, the names of the sponsors in this issue are much longer when connected together.

The profits of the program team are obvious.

"Wow, so many sponsorships? Brother Maozi has really made a lot of money this time. I guess he will focus on variety shows in the future and will never shoot his boring and long art films again."

Xiao Zheng sighed.

Su Chengyi disagreed. Perhaps the fundamental reason for working so hard to make money through variety shows was because he needed funds to shoot those unpopular and niche art films.

Who can say for sure?
Human beings are creatures that have some obsessions that even their own kind cannot understand.

If you think about it carefully, perhaps it is because of the desire to achieve this obsession one day that people have the strength to persist in living in a boring life that repeats itself day after day.

Of course, it is also possible that Hong Mao will never be able to make an art film that is recognized by the public in his entire life, and he may be unhappy despite having a lot of money.

Su Chengyi thought that he actually took time out on a flight to watch a movie called "Clock Tower" directed by Hong Mao.

How should I put it, although it hurts, it really sucks.

There are a lot of meaningless shots, it's more like a documentary than a movie, and the story is edited very fragmentedly.

Su Chengyi has watched many movies that are considered boring by the public, but he almost didn't finish watching this one.

The story takes place in a closed village. The villagers' faith comes from an ancient bell tower. The heroine's family has been responsible for guarding the bell tower for generations, while the hero is an outsider who accidentally enters the village.

In fact, the setting alone is quite attractive, like the "Peach Blossom Spring" with some dark elements, but it is really capable for Director Hong to make it so boring.

This old movie has been online for almost ten years. Less than 1000 people have seen it, and 414 people gave it a very high rating of 5.6 points.

A large number of people searched for this movie only after Hong Mao became famous through filming variety shows.

It's simply black history.

If Hong Mao waits until the "I Am a Masked Singer" project is over and then really goes back to filming, that would be very courageous.

Su Chengyi thought that he respected him as a man.

But what's the use of his respect!
It’s better to make some money while you are young, and pursue your dreams when you are too old to make any more money.

Facts have proved that Hong Mao may not understand art films, but he definitely understands variety shows.

The program team was very smart and let Chen Jinzhi draw the number "7", which means she would be the last to appear.

"What a coincidence, haha."

Xiao Zheng sneered and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Obviously, this was done to prevent the audience watching the live broadcast from changing the channel after seeing Chen Jinzhi's appearance.

Su Chengyi was slightly relieved.

In this way, although his nervousness would last longer, at least Chen Jinzhi would have more time to prepare backstage.

The transition from recorded broadcast to live broadcast, with no audio editing throughout the entire process, is a severe test for the singer's psychological quality.

Of course, it is also a test for the audience's ears.

No one could guess whether what you’d hear next would be a state banquet or stale leftover food.

It’s like opening a blind box, very exciting.

The first contestant to appear was Vivian, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, talented and pretty.

Today she changed her style and wore a white dress.

"Fuck, she hasn't been eliminated yet?!"

Xiao Zheng widened his eyes in surprise.

Su Chengyi was silent for a while. He really wanted to ask him what he had been watching in the previous episodes and whether he had not read the rules of the program team carefully.

It should be until this episode that contestants will be eliminated.

However, Vivian has always been struggling in a more dangerous area, and this time she was unfortunately arranged to be the first one. She may have been abandoned by the program crew.

I thought it was going to be a tough one, but unexpectedly, the song she chose was "If There Is an After Life".

"Wasn't this girl obsessed with showy songs before? Now she's changed her style."

Xiao Zheng felt a little excited.

“You passed by a town called my town, and the snow on the roofs just happened to turn into rain and fall.

We went to the lakeside of the prairie and waited for the migratory birds to fly back.
When we all grow up, we will have a baby.

He will grow up and go away, and we will go away too.

I wrote you a letter and you didn't write back, so that's it."

It is a light and melodious song.

And when the interlude of "Canon" sounded, it was indeed quite moving.

After listening to the song, I can confirm that Vivian's basic skills are absolutely up to par and her appeal is also very good.

Being the first to perform in this situation, the song I chose was somewhat difficult, but I was still able to perform very well.

Generally speaking, in this situation, the leading singer has to come out first to make the final decision.

At the end of the performance, Vivian bowed and the audience applauded.

She did not reveal her face.

Someone started talking in low voices.

After all, most people still rationally believe that Iris would not choose to make such a risky decision in this episode.

The first person to be unveiled should be someone else. At first everyone thought it would be Vivian.

Because she has good looks and has been on the verge of elimination for a long time.

Unexpectedly, I guessed wrong.

Then, the suspense of this game is retained.

"I feel like this girl is okay this round. It would be a shame if she was eliminated."

Xiao Zheng sighed.

Su Chengyi nodded in agreement.

Apart from that, he had a good impression of Vivian.

After Chen Jinzhi's revelations came out, as a contestant on the same show, her comments were flooded with comments from the public.

Most of them just wanted to watch the fun and asked her to call Chen Jinzhi to ask about the situation.

Vivian not only did not take the opportunity to hype herself up, but she liked a Weibo post that defended Chen Jinzhi, implicitly expressing her intention to take sides.

It's rare to be able to achieve this point in our chance meeting.

In the final analysis, they are actually competitors. They are both new generation singers and are often compared with each other.

Vivian is a serious singer-songwriter who ranks last every time and must have been criticized by music critics a lot. Even so, she does not feel resentful, which is enough to prove that she is a very good person.

At the same time, this also further proves that the relationship between the two of them is pretty good in private.

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi silently gave her one of the three voting spots in this issue.
