Chapter 8: The Masked Singer
Quiet Pikachu. This is Chang'an's name today.
Although it was winter, Chang'an, who was covered tightly, could clearly feel that the clothes on his body were soaked.
Because of the absolute confidentiality, except for Goldfish, Sister Pei and Teacher Guolun, no one else in the Dark Horse Music Studio knew that Chang'an had come to the stage of "The Masked Singer".
Of course, it's also because of secrecy, so even the rehearsal has to be dressed in thick clothes.
However, there was an accident at the scene, and the cause of the accident turned out to be...... Pikachu's hand is too short, even if he uses a special microphone, there is a certain distance from Chang'an's mouth.
So Chang'an had to barely complete the rehearsal in Pikachu's hood.
"How is it, Chang'an, is it hot?" In the lounge, Pei Shan took off Pikachu's hood from Chang'an's head.
Chang'an, who was sweating profusely, didn't even bother to take off Pikachu's body, and sat on the sofa, panting from exhaustion.
Seeing this, Pei Shan hurriedly went to get a bottle of mineral water, "Chang'an, come, drink a little." ”
In fact, when he came out of the studio, Chang'an was much better, the heating in the studio was turned on too much, and he was a little stuffy in Pikachu's body.
Smiling at Sister Pei, Chang'an said, "Sister Pei, I'm fine." ”
Sister Pei took back the mineral water in Chang'an's hand, "Why don't you ask them to turn off the heating a little tomorrow." ”
Chang'an, who was much soothed, stood up and took off Pikachu's puppet, "Don't do it, it's such a cold day, the audience will not be able to stand it." ”
Sister Pei rolled her eyes, "Then you can stand it." ”
Chang'an smiled, "I'm not afraid of being told to play a big name, besides, I'm still a newcomer, and I can bear this hardship." ”
Sister Pei pondered for a while, nodded, and did not refute Chang'an's words.
……
In this era of looking at the face and eating by appearance, there are many singing competition programs that put the cart before the horse, relying on sensationalism and competition to attract attention, ignoring the essence of music, and "The Masked Singer" returns to its original intention, not looking at the face, only listening to the song, and at the same time full of suspense, which is the reason why the popularity of "The Masked Singer" remains high.
"The Masked Singer" is a music challenge reality show, all the star singers participating in the competition cover their faces with masks, and the audience will be ranked and promoted according to the singer's singing voice, and the singers who will be promoted will be ranked to determine the singer.
Six singers in each session will draw lots to decide to play a two-on-two showdown, each singing a song, after the three groups of singing, the three winners will enter the second round, and after singing a song each, the person with the highest vote will become the masked singer. The Masked Singer in each edition qualifies for the semi-finals.
However, if the singer loses in the first link for two consecutive periods, the singer will be eliminated directly. The eliminated person can choose whether or not to uncover it.
This is a real competition for singing. The format is brutal, but at the same time, it is also a stage for real singers.
Chang'an has prepared two songs for today's stage.
In the first link, Chang'an prepared a song "I Can Forget You" by Li Tianwang.
If you can enter the second part of the competition, the song that Chang'an will sing is the "original" song "My Sky".
In the original world, "My Sky" is the theme song and ending song composed for the movie "Youth Pie" by the Southern Expedition and the Northern War. The song has been on the hot song charts of major music platforms such as Penguin Music for nearly 24 months and has received unanimous praise.
The styles of the two songs are very different.
In the studio, the audience has already begun to enter, and 300 spectators will cast their precious votes here.
In the pre-game draw, Chang'an drew the No. 6 position, and took the stage in the finale, facing a female singer, a yellow bird who loves to sing.
"Dreams come true, music returns to its true nature, and this is the stage for the large-scale music reality show "The Masked Singer", which is exclusively titled and broadcast by Golden Arches. ”
Li Huan is the first brother of Rongcheng TV, and the main programs are hosted by him.
"Let's welcome the members of the jury. ”
"Today is the recording site of the penultimate episode of the season of "The Masked Singer", and the end is about to end, and there are still two places to the semi-finals, so let's wait and see. ”
"Let's have the first singer, he's the Black Knight!"
To the rhythm of the background music, a singer dressed as a knight walked to the center of the stage.
The background lights gradually dimmed, and everyone in the audience, including the members of the guessing jury, held their breath.
"Let the evening breeze gently blow the sunset
I'm used to thinking about her every evening
Far away, she knows it now
This love has always been in my heart
On this half-mountain day
I knew I was about to part, but I didn't speak
……」
At the end of the song, the Black Knight bowed to the audience and the band teacher.
"This Cantonese is very authentic, this black knight should be HK people. ”
One of the tasks of the guessing panel is to constantly guess the identity of the contestant when the contestant is singing, evaluate the singer's singing skills, and guide the audience to guess and associate the singer's identity.
Mr. Guolun is obviously very good at this kind of work.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be the big man in the HK music scene. ”
"Will he be the headmaster, listen to the timbre is somewhat similar. ”
Stirring up the topic through non-stop guessing and wrong guessing is also the role of the guessing jury.
"I think it's very likely, but I met the principal at HK the other day. He told me that he was going on vacation to Europe. ”
Naturally, the audience and Chang'an could not hear the voice of the guessing jury, and these words were for those who watched "The Masked Singer" through the Internet.
This is all the usual routine of the program team. Teacher Guolun said.
After the Black Knight finished singing, the audience burst into deafening applause.
Indeed, the Black Knight mastered this song "Far Away Her" very well.
The Black Knight is back in the background, and he's going to wait for his opponent, Watermelon Taro, to be my challenge.
Watermelon Taro is a relatively niche lyrical song that I sing, although the melody is elegant and beautiful, but the whole song is plain and has no ups and downs.
After I finished singing, the Black Knight was invited back to the stage and immediately voted for the audience.
In the end, the two stood on the stage together to be questioned by the guessing panel about their identities, and then the scores of the two were revealed.
The Black Knights won 187-106 without suspense and advanced to the next round.
And Watermelon Taro is the second time in a row that I've lost in the first round, and he's leaving the stage of "The Masked Singer".
"Watermelon Taro is me. Would you like to uncover your face now?" asked Li Huan.
Watermelon Taro is me and waved his hand, "I do." ”
"Well, it's time for the glory to be unveiled. Watermelon Taro is me, he is !!Zhang Wei!"
When I took the watermelon head off my head, there was an exclamation from the audience.
Zhang Wei, like Chang'an, was also born from a talent show, and it is not easy to get to the present.
"Zhang Wei, do you have anything to say?"
Zhang Wei held the watermelon head aside, held the microphone in one hand and said, "Hmm...... It's a great honor to be on this stage and to be able to play with so many amazing singers. ”
The watermelon head seemed to be a little heavy and kept sliding down, Zhang Wei simply put the watermelon head on the ground and continued: "I am very grateful to the stage of "The Masked Singer" for giving me such a chance to sing, and I will come back to break through myself next time I have the opportunity." ”
"Okay, let's give Zhang Wei a round of applause. And also have our second group of masked singers!"
