Chapter 182: A Generation of Masked Singers
"The runaway lion who lost to the spicy white cat is standing by my side. ”
According to the rules of The Masked Singer, the singer who loses in the first round of duets will remove the mask and reveal his true face.
Jiang Hudong raised his voice and began to announce: "Now, let's reveal the true identity of the male lion who has left home, who will it be?
With Jiang Hudong's hosting, the lion who left home turned his back to the camera lens and began to take off the mask on his head.
"The lion who has left home, the real identity is ......"
"How is that possible?!"
"I didn't expect it at all!"
"Ah, got your hair cut?"
Taking off his mask, the male lion who left home turned around to reveal his true face, which unsurprisingly caused bursts of exclamations at the scene.
Behind the mask, what appeared was Kang Jun-sung, a member of the Noel group who had debut qualifications for nearly thirteen years. Recently, because of her short hair and four-dimensional personality, she has been active in major variety shows and ushered in the first period of victory in her life. It's just that, judging from the back, it is different from the original 'aunt' short hairstyle, which made the guests at the scene fall into chaos for a moment.
In the end, from the mouth of the host Jiang Hudong, I learned that in order to be able to deceive everyone perfectly, Jiang Juncheng also wore a wig under the mask to hide his characteristics.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Juncheng from Noel. ”
took off his mask, and Jiang Juncheng used his original identity to greet the audience and guests at the scene.
Seeing Jiang Juncheng being the first to be eliminated, to be honest, Shen Zhengyuan was also a little surprised, originally in his estimation, with Jiang Juncheng's singing strength, he could also advance to the second round or even the third round.
The reason why he failed so early and was eliminated early, in addition to being nervous as the first singer to open, there was also some Jiang Jundu who deliberately changed his voice. deliberately made his original bel canto singing style hoarse, and although the hidden idea was good, it also laid the groundwork for his elimination.
Although it is a pity that Jiang Juncheng was eliminated like this, the game still has to continue, so after Jiang Hudong interviewed Jiang Juncheng's elimination speech.
Shen Zhengyuan immediately restrained his emotions and entered the introduction of the second group of duels.
"The first round, the second matchup! ”
"The second place is a super powerful voice that resounded through the heart - two buckets of gold paint!"
As the players of the second duel entered the arena, the scene once again resounded with cheers.
Compared with the duel with the first game, Shen Zhengyuan obviously paid more attention to the result of the second game.
Because, the Park Sun-pyun he is optimistic about is in the second showdown.
"I can't see my appearance~"
"I can't see the road ahead~"
"I am, such a young larva~"
"Break the cocoon and molt, over and over again, repeat~"
"I'm a scarred chrysalis ......"
Amazing singing once again filled the stage.
……
After four heart-wrenching battles in the first round, four winners were finally selected from the eight masked singers.
And after nearly two and a half hours of recording of the competition, "The Masked Singer" also entered a short break.
Taking advantage of the break in the show, Jin Jiula and others in the guest seat discussed with each other about the speculation about the identities of the remaining four masked singers, and the crew of "The Masked Singer" also took this time to change the tape and adjust the lighting and sound equipment on the scene.
"Jiang Hudongxi, how is it, should you get used to hosting it?"
Backstage, Shen Zhengyuan also asked Jiang Hudong about his thoughts on the host.
"I'm still a little nervous. After taking a sip of water and readjusting his breathing, Jiang Hudong shook his head: "After all, it has been a long time since I hosted such a large-scale indoor singing program, and sometimes I am thinking about it in my head, but I can't say what I want to say because I don't listen to the call......"
After lamenting the obvious regression caused by the one-year blank period on his hosting strength, Jiang Hudong immediately squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Zhengyuan on the side, and said curiously: "However, can President Shen tell me a little bit about the identity of the remaining singers, a little bit, I'm almost curious." ”
On the stage, because of the restrictions of the host's identity, Jiang Hudong was obviously very curious about the identity of the singer like everyone at the scene, but he insisted on making a gesture that he didn't care about the other side and hosted.
Facing Jiang Hudong's bargaining, Shen Zhengyuan couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't expect that Jiang Hudong xi you are also curious about the identity of the singer." ”
"Of course, although on the surface I am the MC of "The Masked Singer", deep down I am also the same as the audience. ”
Saying that, Jiang Hudong couldn't help but admire the creativity of the show "The Masked Singer", and even he, the MC, was also aroused, let alone the audience at the scene.
Jiang Hudong has a hunch that the show "The Masked Singer" may be an opportunity for him to turn over.
"If Jiang Hudong is curious, then continue to preside, and the results will always come out. ”
In this regard, Shen Zhengyuan still sold Guan Zi and kept it secret.
……
After a short break, the show continued to be recorded.
Returning to the stage, Jiang Hudong opened his mouth with a series of exaggerated introductions: "The moving stage, interesting reasoning, and endless reversals are all in Al Jazeera's "The Masked Singer". ”
Different from the calm style brought by the original "The Masked Singer" Kim Sung-joo, Jiang Hudong's hosting style is very distinctive, and he often uses yelling and babbling to open, perhaps related to his original identity as a wrestler. For his hosting style, those who like it like it like it, and those who hate it are disgusted by his shouting voice.
However, being able to achieve the position of national MC naturally means that most of the South Korean audience is very fond of Jiang Hudong's hosting style.
"The second round is a solo song showdown, in which the masked singers sing one by one in order, and the winner is determined by two. In the end, there will be two winners, and it will be the final tiebreaker. Glancing down at the hint card in his hand, Jiang Hudong introduced the rules of the second round of the competition: "Moreover, there is a special rule here, that is, the person who gets the highest number of votes in the first round will have the opportunity to choose his opponent freely, so let's invite the four of us players to appear now!"
With Jiang Hudong's introduction, the four players who stood out from the first round of the competition took the stage in turn.
"Then, next, it is up to us to choose the black-bone chicken with the highest vote of 79 votes out of 99 votes in the first round of the duel. ”
On the stage, Jiang Hudong made an announcement, but the audience was confused.
Shen Zhengyuan was backstage, and when he heard Jiang Hudong's introduction, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, because this national MC accidentally made a slip of the tongue and said that the masked singer Hua Kai black-bone chicken was a black-bone chicken selling flowers, but fortunately, it was just a harmless little mistake.
"Jiang Hudongxi, how can you make such a low-level mistake?"
In the guest seat, in the face of Jiang Hudong's mistake, Jin Jiula immediately unceremoniously spoke angrily.
"As a MC, I actually called the names of the players wrong. ”
"No, I'm just tired of it. In the face of Jin Jiula's accusation, Jiang Hudong looked embarrassed, scratched his neck and explained: "Mistakes, mistakes......"
"I'm so tired, I've been resting for a year. In the face of Jiang Hudong's explanation, Jin Jiula did not keep his mouth shut, and directly took out his one-year blank period of retirement for effect.
Facing Jin Jiula's poisonous tongue, Jiang Hudong was suddenly a little powerless to parry, and held the back of his head with an exaggerated expression of rising blood pressure.
Backstage, Shen Zhengyuan saw the scene on the stage in his eyes, Jiang Hudong and Jin Jiula are worthy of being variety show veterans, obviously it was just a simple small mistake, but they were stunned to let the two of them play a stalk.
After the effects are done, the show continues.
"So, please choose the appearance order you have in mind?"
"It's time to speak. ”
"Listening to the voice, you should be able to guess the identity, right?"
Before, because of the competition and duel, only the singers could be heard, and the production team gave a lot of specious hints, and the guests who fell on the scene did not have many clues to refer to, but now it was finally the actor's turn to speak, and everyone naturally pulled their ears, and they were full of anticipation.
However, Shen Zhengyuan, who saw this scene in front of the stage, couldn't help but smile slightly.
There is no such simple thing.
"What about me......"
Sure enough, with the opening of the black-bone chicken, everyone at the scene showed regretful looks.
"What, I thought I could hear some clues?!"
"Me too, looking forward to it in vain. ”
"Haha, the production team is cautious enough, even thinking of speaking, and actually changed the voice. ”
"Who can guess who this voice is......"
"This sense of secrecy is too thorough, I can't even hear the original sound, doesn't it mean that except for the singer being eliminated, no one can guess the singer's true identity. ”
"It's too much, and it's not interesting to watch. ”
"Speechless, there is still this hand. ”
That's right, in order to completely ensure the identity of the masked singer, it will never be announced until the last moment, when the singer speaks, Shen Zhengyuan specially asked the production team to arrange a special voice changing microphone for them.
"Jiang Hudongxi, isn't this too much?"
On the guest seat, Jin Jiula and others immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, this is a wig and a voice changing microphone, so they simply can't guess it.
On the stage, although Jiang Hudong himself did not know the true identities of the actors, this did not prevent him from gloating after seeing the depressed expressions of Du Jinjiula and others, and joked with a smile: "If it is too simple for you to guess, then everyone thinks that our "Masked Singer" production team is too simple. ”
After ridiculing the guests, the next step is to choose their own opponents by the flowery black-bone chicken who has changed their voices.
After some deliberation, the Blossom Black-Bone Chicken decided to put himself in second place, and faced off against the first winner of the first round, the Spicy White Cat.
"In the first duel of the second round, the first to appear was the spicy white cat who defeated the strongest lead singer Jiang Juncheng in the duel and successfully advanced!"
After Shen Zhengyuan brushed his presence with his voice, the tense second round of the duel officially began.
In the cheers, taking advantage of the spicy white cat's appearance, Jin Jiu opened his mouth and whispered.
"I just heard the staff on the scene say that the narration of this show seems to be played by the president of Al Jazeera himself. ”
"The president himself starred?!"
Jin Jiula's words unexpectedly caused a burst of exclamations in the guest seat, and Shen Fengshan had a dumbfounded expression: "Dafa, however, the president of Al Jazeera is also very famous and has starred in many variety shows." ”
"Not only that, it is said that the current TV program is planned by this president, and the same is true of the "Masked Singer" we starred in. ”
"Really?!"
To be honest, the guests present by the president of the TV station have not seen it, but there is such a person like Shen Zhengyuan who plans the show by himself, and he also plans so many popular variety shows, that is, there is the first one like Shen Zhengyuan.
At the guest seat, everyone was also amazed by the versatility of the president of Al Jazeera, and on the other side, the spicy white cat had successfully taken the stage in the applause of the scene, ready to perform.
……
Finally, after more than five hours of shooting, "The Masked Singer" finally entered the final tense singer decision.
Backstage, Shen Zhengyuan looked at Park Shanlian, who had successfully advanced to the final showdown, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, from a selfish point of view, although he has expectations for Park Sun-pyong to become the first singer of "The Masked Singer", after all, the other party was personally invited by him, so he naturally has a biased mentality.
But he also knows that this kind of thing is not something that can be decided by his will, and none of the ninety-nine judges on the scene knows their respective preferences. Unless the production team cheats on the final voting choice, even the production team has no control over the final outcome.
Of course, unless Shen Zhengyuan has a brain pump and plans to ruin the show "The Masked Singer", otherwise it is impossible for him to do such a thing as cheating.
However, those who can advance to the final showdown are actually quite good in terms of singing skills, so no matter whether Park Shanlian or Hua Kai black-boned chicken wins the title of singer in the end, the final effect of the show is the same.
The recording of the first episode of "The Masked Singer" is wonderful enough, and what is needed now is to leave a satisfactory ending in this wonderful process.
"The ninety-nine jury selected the first generation of masked singers, as the first protagonist of our show who was born as the singer, in the final voting of the public jury, 45 to 43 is only two votes, plus the key voting results of the 11 guest judges, the final winner is ......"
Accompanied by the tense drumbeat of the show, the screen of the final scene froze.
"Two buckets of gold paint have become our first masked singer, congratulations!"
I actually won!
Backstage, Shen Zhengyuan looked at Jiang Hudong's final announcement, and couldn't help but clench his fists, looking excited.
