The most popular king in the world

Chapter 178 Four Brothers

At two o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, there was a long queue outside the No. [-] studio hall of Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV Station.Hundreds of lucky viewers who were selected by the program group of "The King of Masked Singer" rushed to the TV station early, waiting to participate in the recording of the new program.

Because "The King of Masked Singer" has been successfully aired for two episodes, the cooperation between the program group and the competing guests has become more and more tacit, and the production team has also mastered the program's shooting process more skillfully, so Chief Director Chen Chao decided to change the recording time of the show to Friday afternoon.

The previous two episodes were recorded on Thursday, and then broadcast on Friday night. Although this can leave enough spare time for the program team to deal with emergencies, the timeliness and confidentiality of the program are problems up.

Although the audience who came to participate in the recording signed a non-disclosure agreement with the program group, an agreement is still difficult to restrain the hearts of some audiences who are spoilers.After two episodes of the program, the program group of "The King of Masked Singer" has sent court summons to 11 viewers who breached the contract.

Of course, there must be more than this number of people who really violated the contract. At least as long as they don't openly spoil the show on social media, the program team has nothing to do.Furthermore, the strong desire for spoilers of the citizens of Great China cannot be bound by a mere contract.

In desperation, Director Chen could only make such a response, that is, to record on Friday afternoon, then set aside an hour or two for post-production, and upload it directly at night.In this way, even if some viewers who participated in the recording would break the contract in private and spoil the content of the program, it would be limited by time constraints and the scope of the impact would be much smaller.

Just doing this will increase a lot of difficulty for the entire program group. After all, the time from recording to broadcasting has been greatly shortened. If something unexpected happens, it may cause some unpredictability s consequence.

But who is Director Chen?That's a boss who has experienced the stage baptism of the Spring Festival Gala, so why would he care about such a small difficulty?You know, the Spring Festival Gala is a large-scale gala that is broadcast live simultaneously around the world. Compared with the difficulty of "The King of Masked Singer", I don't know how much higher it is.

With such a big storm coming, Director Chen still cares about this kind of small pond for recording and broadcasting?Isn't that a joke?

At 02:30, the audience had all entered and sat down. In addition to the replacement singer for this episode, the other six singers had also arrived. After a burst of familiar opening music, the recording of the show finally officially started.

Before the show started, the competing singers in the backstage drew lots, and Shao Yang's contact, Xiao Zhao, took the lead this time and helped Shao Yang get the first number to appear on stage.

The lights were gathered, and the glamorous Zhang Yinghua walked to the center of the stage with graceful steps. Unlike the previous two episodes, Zhang Yinghua felt a little nervous today. After all, starting from this episode, the show will help the sponsor Dads advertised.

As the host, Zhang Yinghua needs to memorize a lot of lines. Although she has a hand card in her hand, it is not impossible to read according to it, but due to professional considerations, Zhang Yinghua is generally unwilling to do so low So before she came to the stage, she had put in a lot of hard work.

At the guest table, there were five members of the guessing group. They had already cooperated for two periods, and everyone knew each other a lot. At least they could exchange a few words with each other and make jokes with each other.

"I said, Professor He, this is the third issue. Why do you always wear this Tang suit? Don't you feel tired of wearing this style of clothes all year round?"

So big or small, of course it can only be Lu Qi.This guy is familiar with everyone, and he doesn't know much about what to say, because this broken mouth has attracted countless fans and hurt countless people, but he still doesn't know how to repent, and he still does his own way.

He Yang laughed, but he didn't think much of it: "Xiao Lu, when you reach my age, you will be like me. But since you have given your opinion, I will change my clothes next time. I have to follow the advice of others. Give the show It is also the duty of our guests to bring some freshness.”

"Professor He talked about novelty, so who of you knows which singer is filling the seat today?" Wang Yanan interjected at the right time, and changed the subject without a trace.

Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words, Wu Jun even sighed and said: "This old Chen's tone is too strict. I asked him privately, and he only said that he is a male singer, but he refused to reveal who it is."

"No matter who it is, when he comes on stage, everyone can guess it? Now that no one has seen it, we have no way of guessing even if we want to. Speaking of which, our guests have delayed the 'guessing group' 'This title is a hindrance, and the identity of a singer has never been guessed." Jane covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

Lu Qi clapped his hands and sighed: "That's right! There are still many netizens posting on the Internet, saying that we are the babysitters of the production team and the mascots placed on the guest seats. Isn't this nonsense? If I really have With this ability, if you sit on the beam of my theater tomorrow, the tickets won’t sell like crazy?”

"Come on you, you are so popular now, you don't need to go to the house tickets, you are already selling crazy! 500 tickets, and you often can't buy the shows of the day, what a group of scalpers you have raised." Wang Yanan smiled. Lu Qi said, jokingly.

"Is 500 expensive? I don't think it is expensive! You said that the audience paid 500 yuan to come to me to listen to the cross talk, and it would be great to have a good time. If you put the money on the coffee table at home, he will be able to enjoy the money Come out? If you can come out happily, his disease can't be cured with 500 yuan, let me tell you." Lu Qi pouted his head and published another fallacy.

Jian Ni happily pointed at Lu Qi and said: "You can push it down, is Yanan talking about whether your ticket price is expensive? They are saying that you are so popular now that even scalpers are chasing you for dinner. "

Amidst the teasing of several guests, Zhang Yinghua on stage finally received a reminder, and the recording of the show officially started.

"Good evening, viewers and friends! Welcome to the large-scale variety show titled and broadcasted by Huawei Mobile, the competition scene of "The King of Masked Singer". Use Huawei for a good mobile phone, and Huawei Smartphone will brighten your life! This show is sponsored by Xiaomi Technology, Langhua Weibo, Qihu Entertainment, Qianyang Dairy, Youyou Video and Pearl Electronics jointly broadcast."

At this time, both the guests of the guessing group and the crowd in the audience also realized that the opening of the show was different from the previous one. There was an advertisement!
In fact, the huge advertising revenue of "The King of Masked Singer" still caused violent repercussions. The program group invested so much money to produce such an excellent variety show, obviously they also have requirements for returns, but no one would have thought of it , the amount of this return will be so huge.

On the stage, Zhang Yinghua continued: "In the last episode, we sent away the singer 'Movie Fan', and this episode has a new substitute singer joining our show. The fierce competition is still going on, and the fierce fight Afterwards, the final result still depends on the voice. What kind of wonderful performances will the competing singers present for us in this issue? Let us wait and see!"

"Next, let's invite today's first competing singer to come on stage!"

After a burst of passionate soundtrack, the lights of the audience were turned off, and the spotlights on the stage converged at the entry gate. A tall and slightly bloated figure walked slowly towards the front of the stage from the darkness.

In the audience's eager anticipation, the tall figure stepped into the light, causing the audience to erupt immediately. Many people shouted Head & Shoulders' name and gave him warm applause.

The ugly, cute, and big-eyed penguin walked onto the stage amidst the cheers of the audience, raised its arms and waved non-stop at the audience. For a moment, the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.

"Head & Shoulders! We support you!"

"Fourth elder brother, this time we must win the fourth place!"

……

I don't know which big brother is so funny, his voice made the audience burst into laughter, and even the guests of the guessing group in the guest seat laughed together.

"Well, the audience is right. After two rounds, Head & Shoulders' performance is really...pretty stable!" Lu Qi expressed his opinion in a timely manner.

Shao Yang on the stage also heard the audience's shouting, which made him very depressed with black lines all over his head.

Still get fourth?What are you kidding?If I go back for the fourth time, I will have to eat breakfast made by Dong Li every day. I don’t want to be Dong Li’s food-testing machine, it will kill me, okay?Five-nut mooncake braised with leather bullfrog?You can do it!

Shao Yang secretly made up his mind that even if he tried his best, he still had to get... er, third?Even the fifth is fine, anyway, Martai Ruoxi or something, whoever loves it, whoever wants it, dark food can't be eaten even if killed.

Under the signal of the staff in front of the stage, the noise in the auditorium gradually subsided, and the scene began to slowly quiet down.Shao Yang swallowed hard, and decided to fight with all his strength, if he doesn't succeed, he will die!

After bowing to the musicians and audience of the orchestra, Shao Yang nodded to Xie Tianxia, ​​the music director on the side of the stage, indicating that he was ready.

Director Xie lightly raised his right hand, and a soothing and melodious music sounded, which quickly caught the audience's ears.I have to say that the audio equipment owned by the program group of "The King of Masked Singer" is really outstanding. Sitting on the spot and feeling this atmosphere is absolutely different from watching it in front of the TV.

After the prelude, Shao Yang's long and emotional singing sounded, quickly bringing the emotions of the audience into the singing atmosphere:

My heart is like a soft sandy beach with messy steps
Some joys and sorrows in the past always go and come back

The more people grow up, the harder it seems to understand each other

People are too sensitive, life is rich but troubled
……

I think I am the sea, the sea in winter, my mood swings lightly with the wind
Looking forward to the rising tide, helplessly frowning when the tide ebbs

I think I am the sea, the tranquil deep sea, not everyone understands
When my chest is knocked open, even a small stone can make me surge

The song sung by Shao Yang was romantic, melodious, and full of melancholy, which fascinated everyone in the audience. The audience seemed to be in the sea with waves rolling along with Shao Yang's singing, watching the song from time to time. The tranquility of the deep sea, sometimes feeling the turbulence of the sea, but what you finally experience is the vastness and loneliness of a man.

This week, Shao Yang chose "I think I am the sea" by Mr. Huang in the memory world.Speaking of which, Shao Yang liked this song quite a lot back then. Although Mr. Huang's singing skills were mediocre, Yao Ruolong's lyrics were excellent. This is also a top lyricist second only to Lin Xi and Fang Wenshan. .

Mr. Huang, the original singer of this song, is also a very good artist, and he is also lucky enough. Mr. Huang starred in the work of director Chen Da when he debuted, and later cooperated with top artists in Hong Kong. I won an award in the TV series, and later made outstanding achievements in the three aspects of film and television songs.

It's just that this Mr. Huang later shifted his energy and career focus to his family and education, and he fell silent for several years. It was not until recent years that he became popular again with the image of a magic fortune teller and an old fox in a variety show, and he became an incarnation again. It is rare for a chef who does not sleep in the middle of the night to become popular.

After Shao Yang's singing ended, the audience gave him warm applause for his performance.At the guest table, several guests whispered to each other, each expressing their own views.

"There is no doubt that Head & Shoulders' song in this issue is still not suitable for participating in the competition, but like the previous two issues, no one can deny that this is a classic song, and it can even be said that this song is The best work among the three songs he has sung." Wu Jun was the first to express his opinion, he obviously liked this song very much, so he did not hesitate to express his praise.

"Perhaps, this is his personal style. He is not grandstanding, not impetuous. This is a singer who quietly focuses on his own music. In the contemporary music scene, there are not many singers who are willing to settle down and make the music they like. Can't figure out who this Head & Shoulders is? Of course, he is undoubtedly an excellent singer, and his performance just now was perfect without any flaws." As an authoritative person in the industry, He Yang is naturally qualified to make such an evaluation.

Wang Yanan also agreed with Professor He's opinion: "Professor He is right. The singer's mentality is really stable, and his singing skills are indeed quite solid. Well, I like this song very much. If I get a chance to contact him, I also want to cover this song."

When Lu Qi heard this, he made an exaggerated expression on the spot: "Miss Yanan, forget it, it's a good ballad song, but it will definitely become flammable and explosive when you put it in your mouth. How much will it ruin the three views? Don't worry about it. It’s a classic, okay, I’ll beg you to let me go on behalf of Head & Shoulders, okay?”

He is familiar with Wang Yanan, so he can let go when communicating, and Wang Yanan will not be annoyed by it, after all, where is the relationship between the two of them.

Hearing Lu Qi running on him, Wang Yanan pretended to be vicious, waved his small fists and threatened Lu Qi, "How dare you say that about me? I'll lock you up in the KTV someday, order fifty of my songs, and blow you up."

Watching the two play tricks, several guests showed understanding smiles. This Lu Qi program team really invited the right ones. They made gags at critical moments, which brought a lot of comedy effects to the show.

"Okay, you two stop fighting, the audience's voting has started. Guess how many votes Head & Shoulders will get this time?" Jane interrupted Lu Qi and Wang Yanan with a smile, and changed the topic to Head & Shoulders' results .

Lu Qi shook his head and replied, "I can't guess the number of votes, but I can roughly guess where he ranks!"

"Fourth!" As soon as Lu Qi's voice fell, the other four guests answered in unison with a tacit understanding, and even Professor He and Teacher Wu followed suit.

"Hey! You all know it together!" The exaggerated expression on Lu Qi's face, as if some big secret has been made known to everyone, it makes people laugh.

Amidst the laughter of several guests, Shao Yang's final votes were finally counted.In this issue, Shao Yang conquered 727 audiences with his song "I Think I Am the Sea", making a good start for the third issue of the competition!
