Chapter 195: Actively reducing the sense of presence.
I took the car to Modu Satellite TV, and it was still the original address, the same 14th floor.
Along the way, Tian Yao was basically asking, and Ge Wu answered in the shortest possible words, and the range of action was also very small.
No way, the two of them knew each other, she was the second host backstage when "The King of Crossover Singers" was the backstage, and although they didn't have much contact later, they could be regarded as having been in contact.
followed Tian Yao and walked to a room, where there were various advertisers' things, the most conspicuous was the yellow soybean milk drink stacked in a triangle, and the bottle was also printed with Ye Wen's avatar, which she endorsed.
"Are we the first to arrive?" Ge Wu sat on the sofa and asked, his posture very thoughtful.
Hearing the reply in the headset, Tian Yao replied, "No, the last one." ”
"Teacher, are you sure you want me to call you 'instant noodles' teacher, while you can change it now, you will have a collective video with other contestants, it won't work, I'll introduce it then."
"That's it, it's good."
While the two were chatting, the props team checked the things in the room again to see if there were any omissions or inappropriate places.
Ten minutes later, Tian Yao received a notification, and the video conference started immediately.
"Teacher, get ready."
Ge Wu stretched out his hand and gestured "OK", he wanted to nod, but he was afraid of accidents.
“3”
“2”
“1”
At the end of the countdown, the TV that has been playing advertisements has cut the screen, and seven small pictures appear on the screen, six people with masks, a host, the host of Modu Satellite TV, Lu Jia.
"Good morning, teachers, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the host of "The Masked Singer" this time, Lu Jia," she smiled heartily, and then began to introduce the rules.
"This program will be recorded and broadcast once a week, there are six contestants in each issue, and after the singer finishes singing, the audience will be scored by the five hundred audiences and five judges, each audience has one vote, each round can vote, and the judges have a total of 100 votes in each issue......"
Then, Lu Jia introduced the composition of the audience, there are people of all ages, and there are many styles of music they like, and if a singer's song appears more frequently when filling in the registration form, it will not be selected, which is generally fair, after all, there are really some viewers who actually like which singer they like, but they deliberately avoid it when answering questions, this situation is very special, and the probability is not large. And this is a variety show of masked singing, and fans are not sure that their idols will definitely participate, so there is no need to do so.
The 100 votes of the judges are the total number of votes for each issue, which means that the total number of votes cast by the judges for each contestant in this issue cannot exceed 100.
"In addition, teachers who decide what song to sing should contact the program team in advance, and there will be a special staff responsible for contacting the copyright."
"Can anyone have a song? Including Mr. Ge? ”
Someone asked, the voice sounding excited, even if it was a mechanical synthesis.
The six contestants were all wearing masks, their voices were all the kind that had been modified from the voice changer, and no one had a microphone, so Ge Wu was stunned and didn't find out who said it.
"'Ghost Li' teacher, do you mean Ge Wu's song?" Lu Jia asked, there was a guide prompt in her headset, and she directly pointed out the person who asked the question.
"Yes."
Ge Wu looked at the cartoon hood that was somewhat similar to Tian Dong's appearance, and said in his heart that this person was probably not sharp.
"Of course, looking at the whole of China, it is estimated that not many satellite TV dares to pack tickets and can use all of Mr. Ge's music copyrights, and Modu happens to be one of them." Lu Jia's words revealed strong self-confidence.
"I know, the main reason why I asked if Mr. Ge was included in the version was because his copyright royalties were too expensive, and I was relieved that the station was so generous." Ghost Li said.
Hearing this, all kinds of mechanical laughter rang out, and there was a feeling that a cyberpunk robot was in a meeting.
"Who makes Ge Wu's song good?" Said the player wearing the pink kawaii piglet helmet.
There is no doubt that this is Peppa Pig, the Japanese comic Ge Wu did not copy, and it took a lot of effort to draw, but "Peppa Pig" is really too simple and too profitable, he did not let it go, and it was also translated and introduced by other countries, earning a lot of foreign exchange.
Lu Jia nodded in agreement, and confirmed that there is no need to worry about the cost, except for a song, if necessary, the contestants need to talk about it themselves, "Exaggeration".
This song is basically about to become the standard repertoire of the music competition finals, even if many people sing it, but at the last moment, if someone can really sing this song perfectly, the results will not be bad.
Therefore, the copyright royalties of "Exaggeration" have also risen, and people who have little confidence in their singing skills basically don't think about it, and they are complained about and a waste of money.
Regarding the fact that "Exaggeration" is not within the scope of copyright solved by the magic capital, although the other players feel a little pity, they also say that it is understandable.
The songs, rules, and rehearsal questions are pretty much the same, and that's all for today's meeting, and the rest is to try to find your groove.
From beginning to end, Ge Wu didn't say much, except when he introduced himself as "pickled vegetable instant noodles".
This is his strategy, and it can be regarded as a way to avoid being recognized, and to speak less will reduce the sense of presence. After all, decades of habits are not easy to change, and some things become jokes when they are said, which is also his personal characteristics.
Tian Yao's opinion of him is the same, I don't know how he sings, but he really doesn't have a sense of variety show, and the other contestants are funny, spoofed, and drink soy milk with a hood and a straw, no matter what, you can give some shots, this one is good, if it weren't for the masked equipment, the audience would think it was some behind-the-scenes personnel.
After three days, each contestant had participated in the joint practice with the band, and each prepared two songs. The ensemble training process is naturally confidential, and only the people in the band know how everyone sings, but how they sing has not been revealed to outsiders.
At noon on the 15th, in a large room on the fourteenth floor of Modu Satellite TV, Ge Wu finally met all the contestants face-to-face.
The ghost is not too tall, and it is estimated that it is a little more than 1.7 meters.
Peppa Pig is a woman, with a purple skirt and an older style, but I don't know if it's deliberate or real.
There are three left, and only the gender can be seen, two women and one man, respectively, "sweeping robot", "old witch" and an anime-style female character.
The six people each sat on the independent sofa, and the accompanying host sat next to them, in groups of two and two, and the distance was relatively far, so they were not given the opportunity to observe up close.
After a while, Lu Jia led a one-person-tall soybean milk doll into the room, and the doll held six boxes of soy milk in both hands.
"Teachers, the order of the performance is at the bottom of the box, which of you draws first, you can either yourself or let the accompanying host do it for you." Lu Jia asked.
Some people stand up and put their feet on it, trying to see if there is any way to see in advance, while others lie on the ground and rub forward, hoping to look through the bottom of the container, but unfortunately it is opaque.
After a minute, Ge Wu saw that they were almost funny, so he asked Tian Yao to pick up one casually.
"Instant noodle teacher, the order is very important, let's wait a little longer and wait for someone to draw out 'No. 1'."
Ge Wu: "......"
I don't want to add drama, you, the host, still take the initiative to rub the camera.
But since people have already said it, he still has to cooperate, he said: "I should smoke it first according to age, you go and get it." ”
"Okay." Finding that the person who had not spoken for ten thousand years had spoken, or took the initiative to expose the information, Tian Yao walked over with long legs and took the one on the very edge.
She flipped the box with her eyes closed, covered her eyes with the other hand, and gradually opened it, and her smile gradually put away, depressed.
"Hey, that's bad luck."
After speaking, she trotted back to Ge Wu's side, "One".
"I'm sorry, 'instant noodle' teacher."
"Well, it's fine."
The mechanical voice that couldn't hear the emotion answered her, and the others were also observing, but they found that this person was really determined, and it can also be said that there is no sense of variety show, normal people see the first appearance, for the sake of the show effect or personal camera emotions, there should be some ups and downs, there should be some movements in the hands or feet, what is your reaction.
"'Instant noodle' teacher, you should use 'robots'." The square-faced robot complained.
"Yes, really? Also, okay. Ge Wu deliberately went out word by word, and his tone did not change, imitating that he could only speak mechanically in film and television.
When other people heard him say this, they couldn't help but laugh, and finally seemed to have come to record the show.
With Ge Wu taking the lead, others did not hesitate anymore and stepped forward to draw the order.
Today's last appearance was "Peppa Pig", she drew the sixth, her assistant was very excited, hugged directly, but she reached out to resist, and then stunned, gently patted the other party's shoulder.
"'Instant noodle' teacher, just now you said that you should smoke first according to your age, I don't know if you are the oldest or the youngest?" Peppa Pig asked.
"Everything." Ge Wu Road.
cough cough cough, a cough sounded, anything is fine, you are the one who knows how to shoot variety shows best, the effect is very good.
"Okay, please go back to your room and rest and stay in shape." The order is out, Lu Jia said.
The crowd left in turn according to the numbers drawn.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the last audience member handed in his phone and entered the venue, and the recording was about to begin.
The whole recording venue is a large concentric circle, the circular stage in the middle is where the contestants perform, and the small stands are fourteen or fifteen meters north of the stage.
After the assistant director of the program emphasized the probability of recording, he counted down to five, and the lights on the scene dimmed.
After a short period of upbeat music, the lights in the center of the stage came on, and Lu Jia walked up to the stage with a mask and sang a few words perfectly.
"Welcome to the audience and friends in front of the TV to watch the "Masked Singer" broadcast by Soybeans and Soy Milk, I am the host of the show, Lu Jia."
"The audience has a voting machine at hand, and it will decide whether the guests will stay or not."
"A total of six contestants will sing in each competition, and after the first round of voting, the bottom two and the top two will sing on stage again, the last two with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated and unveiled, and the top two with the highest number of votes will directly advance to the top 8."
"Please be cautious about every vote you have and decide whether every guest will stay or not, among them there are singers and queens, popular stars, and there may even be actors and actresses, please be cautious."
Lu Jia just finished introducing the competition system, the audience was stunned, so ruthless, a star must be eliminated in every game, and according to the host, the program team really spent a lot of money, and even the top group of people in the entertainment industry were invited, if anyone didn't play well, he would sing, and the TV station and artists would cry.
As for the people who eat melons, of course it's fun, and "The Masked Singer" plays with this kind of heartbeat.
Lu Jia bowed slightly, retreated to the backstage, the lights dimmed again, and then brightened, and several mentors wore masks and sang on stage in turn, in order to highlight the characteristics of the show, they did not sing their own masterpieces.
Liu Xinchao sang "Yilan Love Story", Cheng Yu sang "It's Been Quiet", and Zhang Mingxi, Gu Wei, and Yin Cheng also sang other people's songs.
After the unmasking, Zhang and Gu received the highest voice.
"I was shocked to hear the format introduced by the host backstage just now." Back to the judges' seat, Gu Wei said.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jia, who had already come to the stage again, asked.
"The competition system is too cruel, one is eliminated in each game, and there are at least two opportunities to show your face in the first "Crossover Singer", now it's good, you will win or lose, how much psychological pressure should be."
"It's more frightening than you forgot the words in the Spring Festival Gala?" Zhang Mingxi teased.
"I can make up nonsense if I forget words, as long as the meaning is in place."
There were boos at the scene, but the atmosphere was lively, Gu Wei forgot to say the words during a Spring Festival Gala sketch a few years ago, but he handled it very well, no one found out at the time, and he was later told by himself.
It's interesting to listen to him blacken himself now.
When the recording hall was quiet, Lu Jia showed a short VCR, and the clip of the noon lottery had been cut out.
Some people tiptoe, some people walk on the ground, each showing their variety show talent, and their assistants cheering on the side, asking if they can see it, and strive to get a better appearance order.
Naturally, the scene was full of laughter, and a lottery was so interesting.
Well, no, there are still strange things, the only one who is the food helmet sits there without moving, his assistant is very interested at first, but he also gives up after finding that his singer is not moving, and the two of them are quiet like outsiders.
In the later stage, he was also subtitled - teacher, are you asleep? Wake up, wake up.
"Who is he? So determined. Yin Cheng said.
"It can be seen that he is male from the sitting position, but I don't know anything else, I guess it's the first time I've participated in a variety show, I don't have a sense of variety show, it's the same as Brother Liu and Sister Cheng." Gu Wei said with a smile.
Liu Xinchao and Cheng Yu just smiled on their faces, looked at the big screen silently, and didn't speak, which was quite in line with Gu Wei's rhetoric.
"I'm supposed to smoke it first according to my age."
……
"I wonder if you're the youngest or the oldest?"
"Everything."
Well, take back the statement that this person has no sense of variety show.
