Chapter 194: The Masked Singer
"Chang Dong, Brother Wu doesn't know what's wrong, he is alone on the rooftop, smoking, drinking, eating barbecue, and not talking."
"Brother Fa, Brother Wu doesn't know what's wrong......"
"Sister Wen, Brother Wu didn't bring a mobile phone, just sat on the stage......"
It was the assistant director and cameraman of the crew of "Nobody" who discovered this situation, and they came to Ge Wu at night to discuss what to shoot tomorrow, but no one opened the door for ten minutes, called, and the bell rang behind the door, thinking that something was wrong.
As a result, after finding someone to open the door, only the mobile phone did not see anyone, and after checking the surveillance, I knew that I had gone to the rooftop with something.
When I went to the rooftop, I found that Ge Wu was looking up at the starry sky, eating, drinking, and smoking a dragon, and there was a response to the question, but he didn't take the initiative to speak, and persuaded him to go downstairs and not go, only saying that he was bored and wanted to sit down, so he called Chang Renhao, Han Jianfa, and Ye Wen.
Not long after, the assistant director hiding in the shadows took the phone as instructed, and the other party to the video was Chang Renhao.
"Something?"
"It's okay."
"Then what are you doing on the rooftop, your daughter-in-law and your daughter-in-law are ready to fly to you."
"I just suddenly figured out something."
"What's the matter?"
"It turns out that in the Guizhou Provincial dialect, 'deep' also pronounces 'star'."
“…… It's good if you're happy. ”
"Okay, I'll go back to my room, I'll call if there's something."
Ge Wu hung up the phone, coughed twice, and beckoned the two people who reported the news to clean up the mess, and he was ready to go back to the room. As a result, he didn't take two steps, and a bunch of people appeared on the rooftop, including actors and logistics staff, who stepped forward one by one to help him, for fear that he would accidentally step on some round object and fall off the rooftop.
"Teacher Ge, slow down."
"You're a handsome smoker."
"It's huge, it's so attractive when you drink."
"Mr. Ge, you really don't look like a person who is almost 40, this skill, this figure, no one will believe it when you say 30."
……
Ge Wu smiled and didn't answer, in the past few years, with the increasing number of first-line artists, almost covering the emperor, the queen, the actor, and the actress, he naturally rose to the top, and he didn't even hear a bad word, and he didn't praise or depreciate it.
Chang Renhao, they were still joking.
When he returned to the room, he picked up his mobile phone, and the acquaintance basically called once, and after knowing through the assistant director that he didn't bring his mobile phone, he didn't call again.
Ge Wu and Ye Wen went back to the past and found a reason to prevaricate, just to simply indulge when they were tired of filming.
Naturally, I was inevitably scolded, how can a person who is almost 40 years old be the same as a lovelorn young man, who smokes and drinks alone at every turn.
More than three hours later, he took the car to the airport to pick up his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, Ye Wen still came by charter plane, and wanted to scold people at first sight, but fortunately, there was a driver to follow, and when he returned to the hotel, he inevitably complained, and after his daughter fell asleep, he was persuaded by Ge Wu.
The next day, Ge Wu left the crew and led them on a trip, and the filming was handed over to the assistant director to watch, anyway, his own scenes were almost filmed, and it didn't take long to make up for it.
In October, on the National Day, "The Nameless" won a box office of 3 billion, and Ge Wu's personal box office also reached more than 40 billion.
Now for him, it doesn't matter what the total number of box offices is, what records are broken, just like the popularity value in the system panel, it has long been inflated.
Ge Wu is full of Krypton people, and he hasn't shown much to the outside world, so when filming costume dramas, you can use the brush and the like without your hands, and you can use the pen yourself.
In terms of musical instruments, I mixed a guitar at the full level, for no other reason, after all, I relied on Wu Bai to turn over back then, and I always feel that there is something less if I don't get this one.
On November 12th, Ge Wu, who was half angry when he was teaching his daughter to do her homework, received a phone call, Li Xian of Modu Satellite TV.
"Director Li, what's wrong?"
"Don't shout like that, I'm the person in charge of the program, and it's not appropriate to call the director. That's right, I just planned a variety show and want to ask you to help. ”
Variety shows?
This time it's fresh enough, Ge Wu hasn't participated in it for a long time, mainly because there are too many scripts, which is not interesting, and the effect of movie promotion is just like that, it is better for him to yell on social media.
In addition, since a few years ago, not many TV stations can afford to pay his announcement fee.
It's just that it was Li Xian who asked for this, and he pulled himself in the "Crossover Singer" back then, otherwise there wouldn't be so many take-offs later, and this is the second time he spoke, so he should help, he asked: "What kind of show, I'll listen, it's not too vulgar Brother Xian, I will definitely give you face,"
"I finally ask you for a favor How can you make something vulgar, it's a good show, the tentative name is "The Masked Singer", that is, the contestants cover their faces through costumes and helmets, so that the audience can't guess who they are, and they also use a voice-changing microphone when recording the show, and try to sing with different voices and vocal positions when singing......"
The other end of the phone was very excited when he heard Ge Wu agree, first took a long breath, and then explained the rules and selling points of the show in as fast and clear words as possible, trying to impress him in the shortest possible time.
"What do you think, Director Ge."
"Ordinary shows will definitely not ask you to help, I think this show is good, although it can't bring you any more popularity and coffee promotion, but it's fun, isn't it."
"It's been a long time since you've sung, and your fans are looking forward to hearing you sing again, especially on variety shows."
"How, how? Mr. Ge? ”
Li Xian finished speaking with great interest, but found that the other party did not speak, did not refuse or agree, and the only change was that when he heard the four words "The Masked Singer", he "poofed", as if he heard something funny.
Could it be that Mr. Ge thinks this show is ridiculous, could it be that his rich screenwriting experience has found any major loopholes? For a while, Li Xian's thoughts flew around, and he glanced at the rules and processes, wanting to see if there was a mistake and he hadn't noticed it.
Ge Wu naturally didn't think the show was ridiculous, but he was surprised that after so long, such a powerful "The Masked Singer" was thought of, after all, the voice and other talent forms such as "The Voice" have been in place for several years.
Although the forms of these two programs are different, the core is almost the same, and it makes no sense that others can't remember it.
After shining in lyrics, acting, and directing, he has paid great attention to keeping a low profile, trying not to do "invention and creation", so as not to be too conspicuous, so he has not made many variety shows, such as "Star Detective", "Longing for Life", and "The Masked Singer".
Now that someone else has taken the initiative, then he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, "Yes, I haven't been busy lately, since it's masked singing, naturally I have to keep it secret, I don't want to be discovered in advance." ”
"That's nature!" Even looking at the rules on paper, Li Xian still paid most of his attention to the phone, and when he heard him agree, his voice was raised a lot.
The two talked about some details on the phone, the announcement fee of 10 million per issue, the type of masked props, and the confidentiality of the entire program group only Li Xian knows, and Li Xian will come to the door to sign the contract.
hung up the phone, looked at his daughter's bad math homework, Ge Wu's good mood disappeared most of them at once, and he was patient, pressed the fire to give her a lecture, and he was in elementary school, and it was enough to wait until junior high school with his education level.
Fortunately, I still have a younger sister, what is the role of learning so well?
Be a teacher for your niece.
In the evening, Ye Wen went home, and when she was sleeping, Ge Wu mentioned to her about recording a variety show, and asked her if she wanted to participate in it, and the couple went to do the matter of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers together.
"It's interesting, I'll forget it, the voice is too obvious, and it will be exposed as soon as I open my mouth, it belongs to Laipi."
"It's not comparable to you, the female voice can be imitated."
"You can imagine how sensational it will be when the finals meet, it is estimated that it will be more exciting than you accidentally exposing our relationship."
"That's a must." Ge Wu said, he hasn't shown his singing skills for so many years, and he even wanted to die of old age with a secret, but he didn't expect Li Xian to really get this show out, so it was a big ticket.
"That's right." Ye Wen changed his smile like a flower and became serious.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't mind if you look like a woman when you're masked, but you can't wear women's clothes!"
"I feel like you're reminding you to wear women's clothes."
"If you're not afraid of being turned out as black history in the future, forget it, be careful that your daughter laughs at you for the rest of your life."
"Don't worry."
……
After deciding to participate in "The King of Crossover Singers", the first thing Ge Wu did was to buy a house and buy a small apartment in the suburbs of the magic capital, just so that he would not be helped when the show came to pick up people.
He used to live in Chang Renhao's set, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law live now, he has been picked up too much by the paparazzi, there are no secrets at all, once the show is broadcast by then, he may be recognized.
As for the mask, he asked Li Xian to get a "mustard instant noodles" helmet, in the shape of a porcelain bowl, with some instant noodles and yellow mustard in the middle, which was secretly sent before the start of the program recording.
At the end of November, Modu Satellite TV started the publicity warm-up of "The Masked Singer".
"Put down the glory of the past, put on a mask, and shine with your singing voice in a new arena."
The slogan design is plain and straightforward, and the characteristics and gimmicks of the whole show are pointed out, and it has been on the hot search just by virtue of the slogan, which can be regarded as causing quite a stir.
Then, Modu Satellite TV successively announced the rules and the list of judges.
The moment the list of judges came out, netizens shouted that they couldn't accept it, and bluntly said why two of them stayed in the judges' seat and didn't want to be singers, the program team was simply violent.
The two are evergreen in the music world, the veteran fat singer Liu Xinchao, and the youngest singer before Ye Wen, Cheng Yu.
In addition, in order to make the show more entertaining, he also invited Emperor Shi and sketch Wang Gu Wei to be judges.
Of the remaining two judges, Ge Wu is more familiar with one of them, Zhang Mingxi, who won the actress with "Li Mi's Conjecture", and the last one is Yin Cheng, who has not been in contact for a long time.
Among the five judges, there are professional singers, actresses, and atmosphere groups, which can be regarded as a strong lineup, professional and entertaining.
As for the announcement of the contestants, there was nothing to look forward to, the first six people were each wearing helmets, and the voices of a short interview were all mechanical, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women.
The image of a certain person's instant noodles is more attention-grabbing, and the others are either anime characters or film and television drama characters, only this one food is still not very healthy.
With the comparison, many people subconsciously thought that this contestant called "mustard instant noodles" was estimated to be here to make up the numbers.
Or make up the numbers, or just sell miserably to attract attention.
After all, nearly ten years have passed, and the way to make money in the entertainment industry is still the same, first try to make a person popular, and then make money by using the heat, and then don't care about the chicken feathers in the back.
The edge and trend are the outliers among them, the artists of the two companies are more durable, and the foundation is more solid, and the artists will not be regarded as one-time consumables, of course, this is related to the huge team of screenwriters and songwriters, or that sentence, there have always been works that can be handled, who doesn't want to be a long-term stream.
On December 11th, Sunday, at eight o'clock in the morning, a commercial tram drove into the community west of the magic capital, and Tian Yao, the accompanying host of "Mustard Instant Noodles", got off the car and looked at the towering residential buildings thoughtfully.
"In this era, I still live in high-rise houses, and it is likely that I am an artist below the second tier."
With decades of social development, real estate has long become a sunset industry, and the high-rise or super high-rise buildings built a long time ago are facing the aging problems of water pipes, fire protection, circuits, and elevators, and they can't afford to demolish them.
After sending a WeChat message to confirm that the teacher was ready, she led the cameraman to carry the machine upstairs, the 29th floor, the former viewing room.
After a not-so-smooth ascent, the elevator doors opened.
There was a man with a bubble noodle head standing outside the door, about 1.8 meters tall, in a white plaid suit, with some special luminous material on his clothes, shiny, holding two bottles of steaming Coke in his hands.
"That's all in the fridge."
A special mechanical voice sounded, which startled Tian Yao a few times, the sense of confidentiality is too good? Or this person's voice is quite distinctive, and others can hear it as soon as he speaks.
Say thank you, take the Coke, it's cool, this person is not too old, he knows a little about the world, but he doesn't know much.
Entering the room, there are two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, there are no books, no musical instruments, and the windows and floors are quite clean.
"Teacher, your home is quite simple." Tian Yao didn't have a place to praise if he wanted to, and said.
"I'm glamorous in appearance, and I'm all housekeeping."
If you don't want to be so upright, it's hard to find the shining point.
Tian Yao did a relatively brief interview, and left in the car with the "instant noodle" teacher.
It's not short, no, no information about this teacher will be disclosed, involving age, occupation, and related works are all Gu Zuo talking about him,
I can't get more shots.
