Regarding Chen Zhe's proposal for "The Masked Singer", Yu Liang actually did not approve of it in his heart.

He thought the idea was a bit ridiculous.

Is it really okay to have a well-known singer put on a costume, put on a mask, and disguise himself as a strange person to sing on stage? Is there really an audience willing to watch such a show?

He was skeptical.

However, because of Mr. Fan's face, Yu Liang could only obey Chen Zhe's arrangement, and he nodded ignorantly: "Make props, right? It's masks, costumes, etc., yes, leave it to me." ”

Chen Zhe saw the contempt in Yu Liang's attitude, and couldn't help but remind him again: "Yu Liang, one of the highlights of "The Masked Singer" is the disguise of these singers, which is the props they are wearing. These props are not only used to hide the original identity of these singers, but also have enough characteristics and recognition so that they can be remembered by the audience at a glance.

So props have to be beautifully made, you know?"

Yu Liang nodded impatiently and said, "I understand, don't you just try to make the props as beautiful as possible......?" Wrapped up in me, this little thing is also worth repeating? Don't worry. ”

Chen Zhe put his mind at ease, and then arranged for Meng Xuehua and Yu Liang to start working, and he went to plan the general process of "The Masked Singer".

Meng Xuehua's side had already started selecting guests a long time ago, so she quickly gave Chen Zhe a reply.

Early the next morning, Meng Xuehua took the initiative to find him in Chen Zhe's office.

"Director Chen, I have identified some of the guests of the current show, please come and take a look. ”

Chen Zhe was stunned for a moment when he heard the title "Director Chen", and then realized that Meng Xuehua was calling him.

"Indeed...... Now that I am the chief director of "The Masked Singer", I am naturally Director Chen......" Chen Zhe pondered in his heart.

After that, he raised his head and beckoned, "Okay, Director Meng, come and sit." ”

"Okay. Meng Xuehua walked up to Chen Zhe and pushed a list into Chen Zhe's hands.

Chen Zhe looked down, and saw that Meng Xuehua had really contacted several heavyweight singers.

Two of them are singers in the first season of "We Are Singers", and one of them, a first-line female singer named Sun Hong, is also the singer of the first season of "We Are Singers", and being able to invite her out of the mountain is definitely the biggest good news for the "Masked Singer" program team.

However, in addition to these two top singers poached from "We Are Singers", the quality of the other singers Meng Xuehua contacted was a little average.

Most of the rest are second- and third-tier singers, and there is even a newcomer who has just debuted, it's not that Chen Zhe is unwilling to give newcomers a chance, it's just that it is difficult to support a variety show with only one or two first-line singers.

After reading the list, Chen Zhe said bluntly: "Director Meng can contact first-line singers like Sun Hong and Wang Mingming, which is very positive, but I see that there are only two first-line singers in your list, and the rest of the singers are slightly less well-known, I think this seems inappropriate, right?"

Hearing Chen Zhe's criticism, Meng Xuehua was not angry, but sighed helplessly: "Director Chen, you must know that "We Are Singers" has been broadcast for three seasons, and they have basically invited the most famous singers in today's music scene......

I've contacted a lot of great singers before, but because they have already participated in "We Are Singers", they don't really want to participate in "The Masked Singer" again, they think that one time on the same variety show is enough.

It is already a good harvest to be able to invite Sun Hong and Wang Mingliang to attend. ”

Chen Zhe nodded after hearing this, and admitted: "What you said is also right. ”

Meng Xuehua smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, I have tried my best, and at present, I can only win two first-line singers for our show...... Sorry Director Chen. ”

Chen Zhe smiled and said: "It's okay, Director Meng, you have done your best, in fact, it is enough to invite Sun Hong and Wang Mingliang, two big names, to show that you have worked hard."

Leave the rest to me, I have just a few suitable people here. ”

When Meng Xuehua heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Director Chen, we expect to have about six starting singers, and so far I have only invited two first-line celebrities, are you sure you can also invite four powerful and well-known singers?"

"It should be fine. Chen Zhe said, "I can try." Wait for my news. ”

"Okay......" Meng Xuehua got up when she heard the words and exited Chen Zhe's office.

After leaving Chen Zhe's office, Yu Liang, the deputy chief planner, came over with a gossipy face.

"Director Meng, how is it? Is Chen Zhe difficult for you?"

Meng Xuehua shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course not, Director Chen is a very good talker, and the task I completed this time to contact the guests was actually not very good, and he was not angry." ”

"He's just an eighteenth-tier artist, and he dares to be angry?" Yu Liang sneered, "But wasn't the guest almost certain before?

Meng Xuehua said: "Director Chen's meaning is that since our variety show wants to be well-known, it is best for the guests to be all famous singers, so that it is better to compete with "We Are Singers"......

Among my candidates, only two are first-line, and the rest are still less famous. But it doesn't matter, Director Chen said that he wants to contact some guests to help me fill in the remaining vacancies. ”

"What?" Yu Liang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and asked: "Chen Zhe said that he wanted to contact the rest of the guests by himself? Isn't that going to contact the four of them in one go? It's really funny, who does he think he is? How much face does he have? Four well-known singers, did he contact them?"

Meng Xuehua also shook his head and said: "This is indeed not a simple task, in order to contact Sun Hong and Wang Mingming, the two first-line singers, I still hammered it two months in advance, and now that the time is tight and the task is heavy, Director Chen may really not be able to complete it......"

Yu Liang sneered: "I think it's impossible for him to finish it, he can only brag!" Hehe, wait to see a good show, when the time comes, he Chen Zhe can't contact the singer, I see how his "The Masked Singer" will be done!"

And just when Yu Liang pulled Meng Xuehua to whisper, Chen Zhe had already dialed his first phone.

The call was made to Shu Qian, and the call was quickly connected.

"Hey, Chen Zhe?" Shu Qian seemed to have just woken up, and her voice was muffled.

"Shu Qian, shouldn't you have gotten up yet?" asked Chen Zhe.

"Hmm......" Shu Qian snorted lazily and shyly, and said, "Anyway, now that "Singer" has also withdrawn, I have nothing to do when I am idle...... Of course, you have to enjoy life and sleep in. ”

Speaking of this, she asked curiously, "By the way, what are you doing after you quit the game? Are you not at home? Why don't I go and play with you later?"

Chen Zhe said with a smile: "I'm not at home, I'm already re-employed." ”

"Poof...... Re-employment is like a laid-off worker. Shu Qian smiled, and then couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Wait, where did you go to get a job again?"

Chen Zhe said: "That's right, I did participate in variety shows again, but this time I didn't come to be a guest, but a director." ”

"Director?!" Shu Qian was dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, "No, Chen Zhe, where did you become a director......?" How can you still be a director? It's amazing, isn't it?"

Chen Zhe said with a smile: "I actually didn't expect it, things are a bit complicated, and one or two sentences are not clear...... In short, I met Fan Kuan of Starry Entertainment by chance, and came to him to do a variety show of music competition, and now I am the chief director and chief planner......"

"Wow, rely on ......" Shu Qian was completely admired at this time, and exclaimed, "Fan Kuan, starry entertainment, Chen Zhe...... You're a little too godly, aren't you? You actually hugged such a thick thigh! I have to envy you. I'll go to you, and you'll have to talk to me about it......

"Absolutely. Chen Zhe smiled, and then began to get down to business, "But Shu Qian, my current variety show is about to be recorded, and only Sun Hong and Wang Mingliang have been invited for the time being, since you have retired from the competition on "Singer", can you come and cheer me on?"

When Shu Qian heard this, she agreed without saying a word: "You have spoken, can I not go over? It just so happens that I am idle these days, no problem!"

Chen Zhe laughed when he heard it, and then began to say with a long look: "That...... It's not enough for you alone, isn't Wu Meiqi your junior sister......?

Shu Qian couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, you Chen Zhe, you can really get an inch! Okay! I'll go and ask you today to see if she is willing to give you this face, but you have a life-saving grace for her, I think she will definitely agree!"

"That's great...... Chen Zhe said with a smile, "I have time to invite you to dinner and return you favors." ”

"Hey, don't be polite between the two of us, hang up first. Shu Qian said and hung up the phone.

Chen Zhe did not put down his mobile phone immediately, but took his mobile phone and dialed another number.

"Doodoo ......"

With the sound of a prompt tone, the phone was quickly answered, only to hear a very gentle and nice voice coming from the earpiece:

"Hey, Chen Zhe?"

Hearing this voice, the corners of Chen Zhe's mouth unconsciously flashed a smile, and he said in a low voice: "Hey, Mengyun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The person on the other side of the phone is the sister of the Shuanghua group, Da Qiao-Qiao Mengyun.

Although Chen Zhe and Da Qiao often contact each other in private, the two don't often talk on the phone, so Da Qiao was still a little surprised to hear Chen Zhe's voice again.

Her voice was a little cramped, her breathing was a little disordered, and she whispered, "yes, I haven't seen each other for a long time...... Why did you call me all of a sudden? Are you coming south?"

Chen Zhe shook his head with a smile and said: "No, that's the case, I'm not leaving "We Are Singers" now, I am currently jumping to Star Entertainment, and I want to create a variety show that is benchmarked against "We Are Singers......"

When Da Qiao heard this, he was quite shocked and asked, "Starry Entertainment?" Is it Fan Kuan's Starry Entertainment?"

"Hmm. Chen Zhe nodded and said, "Now the variety show we are planning to do is called "The Masked Singer", that is, all the contestants hide their identities and compete on stage in a masked way, and the contestants who are currently confirmed to participate are Sun Hong, Wang Mingming, and Shu Qian, Wu Meiqi is likely to come to participate, are you and Meng Fei interested in coming?"

When he asked this, a cheerful voice suddenly came from the earpiece: "Sister, who are you talking to on the phone, why are you smiling so happily?"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Zhe couldn't help but be happy - Xiao Qiao was really off the line as always, and he also liked to betray his sister.

Da Qiao was also so angry that he stomped his feet, and said with a wink: "Get out! You troublemaker! This is Chen Zhe......"

"Is it Chen Zhe's phone? Chen Zhe is calling? No wonder you are laughing like a flower, only Chen Zhe has this charm, hahahaha......"

Xiao Qiao said loudly, and shouted into the phone after speaking,

"Chen Zhe, Chen Zhe, did you miss me?"

Chen Zhe laughed and said: "Of course there is, Meng Yun, do you and Meng Fei want to participate in this variety show? I promise that you will be satisfied in terms of remuneration, and I am also confident that this variety show will surpass "We Are Singers" and become a popular phenomenon-level variety show in China." ”

Da Qiao immediately responded: "Chen Zhe, as long as you send out an invitation, no matter what the remuneration is, and whether this variety show will eventually become a phenomenal variety show that surpasses "We Are Singers", we will participate." ”

"Really?" Chen Zhe smiled, "That's great." ”

Da Qiao said: "So now you just need to tell us when the show will start recording, and when we will go to City C to find you." ”

Chen Zhe smiled and said: "I like your pleasure, in this way, the recording time should be next week, I will notify you three days in advance, if you come, I will arrange a hotel for you, and I will take care of everything for you here." ”

"Okay. Big Joe smiled and said, "Then we'll see you then." ”

The thought of finally being able to reunite with Chen Zhe, who had been separated for a long time, made Da Qiao's cheeks flush with a touch of pink.

And Xiao Qiao couldn't help laughing: "Oh, my sister can see her old lover!"

Da Qiao hurriedly covered the microphone of his mobile phone, turned his head and glared at Xiao Qiao and said, "Shut up!"

……

After making two phone calls, Chen Zhe had already recruited enough candidates.

Shu Qian is counted as one, Wu Meiqi is also counted as one, and the "Double Flower" combination Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are all coming to participate, but these two people must not be able to play together, because there are not many well-known double girl groups in China, and the identities of two people will be guessed quickly if they play together, so these two must act alone and participate in the competition as individuals.

In this way, these are four well-known and powerful players.

Walking out of the office, Meng Xuehua and Yu Liang were still whispering, Chen Zhe glanced up at the direction of the two people, and said lightly: "It's done." ”
