From Qingyun to Nanjing, along the way, Liu Mang had a detailed understanding of the large-scale suspense singing show The Masked Singer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. This show is like a war, without full preparation, it will never work.

Liu Mang made a request to Chen Heshang, he wanted to meet the high-level officials in the stage.

Chen Heshang knew that Liu Mang had no intention of giving up, so he persuaded with a wry smile: "Actually, it's really not necessary. What the top brass of the station needs is ratings and influence. Even if you pull out a lot of money, the top brass won't change their minds. ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Liu Mang smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Chen Heshang couldn't shirk it anymore. The person was introduced by the teacher, and he was already very ashamed that he couldn't let people appear on the show. If you don't even help with this little favor, it's really too much to say.

Under the recommendation of Chen Heshang, Liu Mang met the second-in-command of the TV station, deputy director Guo Changsheng, and several other leaders.

After introducing Liu Mang's identity and explaining his intentions, Chen Heshang felt particularly embarrassed. Because he knew that what was waiting for Liu Mang must be the cold and hard refusal of the high-level in Taili.

Sure enough, Guo Changsheng said very directly: "We have hard conditions for the contestants who participate in the masked singer. The first point is visibility. Forgive me for being lonely, I have never heard of the name Liu Meng, and our guessing panel and the audience are also very unfamiliar with your name. So how do you let them guess? ”

Chen Heshang will take into account the teacher's feelings, and pay more attention to the euphemism in his words. Guo Changsheng has no scruples in this regard. In his opinion, this guy who calls himself Liu Meng is completely a little-known person. Want to make a name for yourself with the large-scale variety show The Masked Singer? I can only say that I think it is too beautiful!

Several other leaders have the same idea, as a variety show created by the radio station with a lot of money, the masked singer can be called one of the top platforms in China. This platform definitely has the ability to make people famous.

To be able to compete on the same stage with many first-line singers and even kings and queens, how eye-catching is that? If you have a little more level, you can beat a certain star singer, and once the media publicizes it, it is difficult to think about it or not!

There are too many people who want to participate in this show, especially singers who have come out of other talent shows in recent years, and everyone regards this platform as a ladder and bridge to improve their value. Some people don't even want the program team to pay a penny, just a chance to compete on stage. But the program group does not allow it, and the TV station does not allow it!

The reason why the masked singer was introduced by the TV station was because of its super influence in South Korea. The masked singer is to South Korea what The Voice is to China, it is known as the strongest music variety show!

The TV station has great ambitions, and wants to make the masked singer the top music variety show in China, surpass me as a singer, surpass the voice, and become the strongest! To this end, the TV station did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite big-name singers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Despite this, except for the fact that this show caused a little sensation at the beginning of the broadcast, in recent episodes, the response has been mediocre. It goes against the original intention of the TV station and the program team.

These big-name singers are so easy to guess that their true identities are easily guessed, and more and more viewers are beginning to not buy it.

After repeated research and discussion, the TV station and the program team decided to invite some crossover singers, but at this time, it has reached the end of the program, and the number of places that can be invited is very limited, so this place is extremely precious.

After repeated discussions, the TV station finally targeted Dong Chengpeng. Dong Chengpeng sang well, focusing on "Pancake Man", which was released some time ago, which caused a movie-watching boom in China. The box office of 12 billion made Dong Chengpeng a well-known comedy star overnight!

The so-called striking while the iron is hot. The TV station invited Dong Chengpeng to participate in the competition at this time, which will definitely make the ratings of the program reach a new high.

That's what the TV station intends.

Liu Mang came to participate in the masked singer at such a critical moment, how could people allow it?

Facing Guo Changsheng's cold words, Liu Mang smiled faintly and said: "The Masked Singer is indeed a promising variety show. But this future can be big or small, I don't know if Director Guo wants to be big or small? ”

Guo Changsheng didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he asked with a calm face, "How should I talk about this?" How to talk about small? ”

"According to the ideas of your TV station and program team, the masked singer will continue to be made, and it still has a small future."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people next to them changed.

Chen Heshang hurriedly played a round game, "Liu Meng is young and ignorant, don't be surprised." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Heshang tried his best to give Liu Mang a look and asked him not to say any more. The more you say this, the more you offend people. The entertainment industry says that small is not small, but big is not big. If you offend someone like Director Guo, you may lose a lot of opportunities in the future.

Liu Mang turned a blind eye to Chen Heshang's eyes and continued: "The masked singer has a novel form, and the contestants participating are all famous figures, and the TV station has spent a lot of money. So even if it's not as popular as Mango Radio's I'm a Singer, it's much more popular than other music variety shows. ”

Guo Changsheng frowned, "Why can't it compare to me as a singer?" ”

Liu Mang has carefully studied the variety show The Masked Singer, and it can be said that he knows its shortcomings well.

The performance form of "The Masked Singer" seems to be novel on the surface and returns to the essence of music, but after a little thought, I found that the logic of the show does not make sense at all. Invite a small coffee to come, it can't attract the audience, and if the judges are more famous than the contestants, it will become a joke, and it is destined to be like the similar program "Lepai Lego" on Guangdong Satellite TV, which can't stir up the waves when throwing stones into the water, and will be forgotten in the end.

If you can't recognize who it is just by listening to the voice, the lack of recognition of the voice is already the biggest failure for the singer; If you already recognize who it is, the biggest gimmick of masking immediately becomes meaningless, and if you continue to pretend to it, it will become a funny monkey show like guessing the jury.

So the gimmick of this show is greater than the substance, the internal logic is self-contradictory, and it is doomed to failure from the beginning.

The success of the original Korean program is inseparable from the characteristics of South Korea's own variety show environment and artist system. South Korea has a large number of idol artists who are drowned in idol groups with a certain strength but are not well-known, and masked PK is meaningful and surprising. However, the domestic national conditions are different, blindly copying the Korean program form, and the natural water and soil are not adaptable.

However, the excellent competition system of the Korean version of the program, the Chinese version has been drastically changed. The Korean version of the singer does not reveal his identity in each issue, maintains a sense of mystery, and does not lift the mask until the failure of the next PK, but while revealing the old suspense, it creates a bigger new suspense for the audience - who is the new singer with higher strength who can PK him? Therefore, it can firmly hold the audience's appetite and continue to watch it.

On the one hand, the suspense has been broken, and the semi-finals and finals have long been out of character, giving people a sense of copycat I am a singer; On the other hand, there are 5 PK failed singers left to continue the show, and the new singers who come in the next issue will either win and advance directly, or there will be 5 old faces left; Either they lose, or they are just the second-strongest promotions in the last period, leaving 5 weaker losers to continue to tear up.

The big waves wash the sand, but the rest is all residue and sediment, and the level of the program will inevitably deteriorate, so you want to watch such a program that is not as good as one episode?

The first episode of the show has not yet been broadcast, and the real bodies of the 6 singers have already been guessed by netizens, and even the list of singers circulating on the Internet before the start of the broadcast has proved to be almost all successful. The biggest and only gimmick of the show has died in name only, and the essence is that I am a singer wearing a mask and pretending.

If you talk about the essence of music, although there is also Mr. Liang Qiaobai in charge, it is difficult to surpass the excitement of being a singer. First of all, the strength of the 6 singers is uneven, and the performance of the 4 PK games is very different, and the result is not surprising.

Ding Dang's strength is slightly inferior, and Ou Di sang a parody show, all of which came to play soy sauce.

Li Quan and Sun Nan deliberately changed their voices and singing methods in order to hide their identities, and they sang crookedly and didn't even give full play to half of their normal strength, but they were inadvertently betrayed by their piano playing style and unique nasal voice.

Xu Ruyun chose a song "Nothing" that was not suitable for her, although the opening of the cappella was very tasteful, and the unique ending that forced Virgo to death was even more silent than sound, but her signature voice was almost drowned out by the accompaniment in the climax, resulting in a great reduction in the overall effect.

Only Li Keqin did not deliberately cover up his voice, and went all out to play zero flaws, and the final victory was ironclad.

What's more, I am a singer in addition to the singing competition, and the interaction between singers is also a major attraction and a source of a large number of hot topics, but "The Masked Singer" inherently wielded a knife to cut off this half of the country, the singer has nothing to do except sing on stage, and the backstage footage is almost non-existent, and the whole show is just constantly rushing to the process, and it will be boring to watch two more episodes.

Let's not talk about the old topics of guessing whether the 5 people on the jury are professional or not, Wu Qixian is responsible for really guessing and quitting the music scene, Yi Neng Gongju is responsible for guessing and promoting the program next door, Li Chen is responsible for releasing smoke, Li Xiang is responsible for talking nonsense, and Dai Jun is responsible for complaining about Li Xiang, and the division of labor in this script is also obvious.

After Liu Mang finished talking about the shortcomings of the masked singer, everyone was stunned. On the one hand, I was surprised that Liu Mang had such a keen insight, but on the other hand, I didn't expect that the ace program they worked hard to create would have so many flaws.

Chen Heshang sighed helplessly and sighed: "We originally wanted to cater to the needs of domestic audiences, so we drastically changed the masked singer beyond recognition, but I didn't expect it to get worse and worse. But now that the show has reached the final stage, it is impossible to change it again! ”

"That's right, it's really impossible to change it again." Guo Changsheng said with a complicated expression.

At this time, someone said: "At present, the program team has sent someone to communicate with Dong Chengpeng, as long as he agrees to participate in our program." The masked singer may not have a chance to come back to life! ”

Guo Changsheng nodded, "That's right, after "Pancake Man", Dong Chengpeng became a hot mess in China, and having him participate in our show will definitely make the masked singer glow with new brilliance!" ”

"Want to rely on Dong Chengpeng to come back to life?" Liu Mang laughed dumbly, these people are so naïve.

Dong Chengpeng is indeed very popular now, "Pancake Man" has just been drawn offline from major domestic theaters, and there are topics about him everywhere on TV networks and news newspapers. "Pancake Man" has made headlines in major media several times in a row, and Dong Chengpeng seems to have become a well-known comedy star. But he is just a comedy star in the end, and he can't save a variety show!

The smile on the corner of Liu Mang's mouth made Guo Changsheng very disgusted, and he couldn't help asking: "If you don't rely on Dong Chengpeng, can you still rely on you?" ”

"To put it mildly, Dong Chengpeng has no ability to save the masked singer, but I can!" Liu Mang still had that faint smile on his face, and he seemed to have a mysterious confidence in him.

Guo Changsheng frowned, and his previous good impression of Liu Mangsheng was gone at this moment. Despite his perceptiveness, the young man was too arrogant. So the hot Dong Chengpeng can't save the masked singer, why are you a nobody?

Liu Mang's gaze swept over everyone, and then said: "The masked singer has one flaw or another, even if he wants to change it, he can only wait until the next season." Now there is only one way to bring the masked singer back to life, and that is to create a bigger gimmick and create a bigger miracle! ”

Marvel? Everyone was a little confused. Where does this miracle come from?

Liu Mang said with a smile: "You said that if a crossover singer stands out from many well-known singers, he will finally win the crown of the masked singer." Will such a result cause a sensation in China? Is this a miracle in the entertainment industry? ”

This can be called a miracle, of course. Because it's simply not possible!

What is a well-known singer? Those are all singers who have been honed for a long time, both in terms of singing skills and singing skills!

A crossover singer, a newcomer, want to beat them and stand out? That's just too hard, so to speak!

The eyes of Guo Changsheng and the others looking at Liu Mang all changed. It can be said that he is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or it can be said that he does not know the height of the sky. This kind of person is not uncommon, and they are often after the heavy blows of reality, and gradually put away their impetuousness and steadfastness. It's a pity that neither the TV station nor the program team will give him this chance to be hit.

Chen He pulled Liu Mang's sleeve and persuaded anxiously: "Don't say it, let's go back and talk about it if you have anything to say." This is not the place to talk nonsense. ”

Liu Mang gently took Chen He's hand away and said calmly: "I know you don't believe in my ability. I don't blame you guys. Actually, a long time ago, I didn't really believe in my own abilities. But then something happened, and I realized that some people's abilities are innate. Only a man as gifted as me has the ability to conquer the world! ”

Conquer the world? That's too good to load!

Guo Changsheng frowned, he didn't know that he had seen a lot of people with the height of the sky, but it was the first time he had seen a superb product like Liu Mang. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was indeed piqued with curiosity to see how strong this super arrogant guy really was.

Several other leaders also have this thought. There is an expectation in everyone's hearts. People who dare to be so crazy should have some ability, but if they want to surpass those well-known singers, it is completely nonsense.

Chen He's heart was full of ups and downs, he didn't know where the teacher found such a superb product. Actually made a lot of nonsense in front of so many people! These high-level people are not good at stubble, as long as Liu Mang's performance is not amazing enough, he will definitely suffer from their bombardment and insults!

Chen Heshang seemed to have seen such a picture, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Liu Mang swept everyone's expressions and knew what these people thought. Everyone was waiting to see him laugh. But the joke probably can't be seen. Liu Mang has an extremely strong imitation ability, which is far beyond others, and will definitely make everyone stunned.

Liu Mang thought silently in his heart, just wait, I'll give you a good look later! (To be continued.) )
