Chapter 711 The official start
The first episode of the program has officially begun. The biggest gimmick of the entire program of "The King of Masked Singer" is the masking. Because of the unknown nature of the singer, this sense of suspense will greatly stimulate the audience's enthusiasm to watch.
Yanjing TV certainly knows this truth, so before the show starts, the confidentiality of the singer is the top priority of the entire program.
Only the chief director of the entire program knows the list of all the singers, which means he is the only one who knows the true identities of all the singers. The rest of the staff only know their masked names.
In order to prevent the media from being photographed and inferring the identity of the singer, the program team adopted a completely closed format.
The singer's entourage must also be masked, otherwise the media may deduce the singer's identity through managers and assistants.
When the show is recorded, there will be a dedicated director as a temporary manager who will follow the singer throughout the entire process and be responsible for all matters involved in the recording of the show.
Of course, the program staff did not know the identity of the singer.
Lin Yu was originally a soy sauce player. His goal was to avoid being eliminated in the early stages, reach the finals, and then retire in style.
Retiring from the competition can not only avoid the final reveal, but also give Mo Ran and Wen Ling more opportunities.
So he can be as low-key as possible now.
Unlike other artists who have large entourages, Lin Yu drove to the TV station alone and found the program crew alone.
The responsible director assigned by the program team was waiting outside the program team early, waiting for the accompanying agent to connect with him.
Petty bourgeoisie is one of these temporary "brokers".
She joined Yanjing TV Station after graduating from university. It had been exactly one year and the transition period from student to director was over. This Masked Singer program happened to be a good opportunity.
A good opportunity for her to gain a foothold in the talented Yanjing TV station.
It was also the path that her uncle had arranged for her a long time ago.
Just like the singers saw The Masked Singer as an opportunity, the directors and hosts also saw the show as an opportunity for promotion.
The temporary "agents" responsible for singers include not only choreographers like Xiaozi, but also young hosts.
If singers go further, they will have more opportunities in front of the camera.
The more likely you are to be remembered.
Because no one except the chief director knows the identity of the singers, for the sake of fairness, everyone will draw lots when the program begins to allocate work.
Assigned randomly.
Although the petty bourgeoisie's uncle was the chief director and the only person who knew the identities of all the singers, she did not get any hints. She liked Lu Qing's movies very much. When she saw Iron Man, she was attracted by the name and decided to
Choose a singer with this name.
Because no one knew the singer's true identity, no one competed with her. Anyway, they just chose a name that sounded pleasant to their ears.
Xiaozi successfully became Iron Man's temporary agent.
The singers arrived one after another, and the petty bourgeoisie friends also started working.
In the expectation of petty bourgeoisie, Iron Man is here.
Lin Yu heard from Qian Yu that there was a staff member acting as a temporary manager, and this "manager" would be responsible for everything during the recording of the program. This was to make it easier for the masked singers to record the program more conveniently and smoothly.
Prevent your identity from being known.
Qian Yu originally wanted to follow because only Lin Yu participated in the first phase, while Mo Ran and Wen Ling were in the second and third phases.
He just happened to be able to record the first episode with Lin Yu, but Lin Yu refused. With the staff of the program team, there was no need for an accompanying person.
Lin Yu put all his equipment neatly in the car alone, and the underground parking lot was also fully closed. The TV station designated an area for "The Masked Singer", and the program team asked each singer in advance about the number of cars that would travel with him.
respective parking spaces.
Not to mention the media outside who are always ready to take secret photos, even the singers have no idea who the other is.
Lin Yu walked out of the parking lot as Iron Man.
According to the notice sent by the program team earlier, he found the room belonging to "Iron Man".
At the door of the room, the petty bourgeoisie was already waiting.
Seeing the tall and mighty Iron Man, Xiaozi's eyes lit up.
Although she couldn't guess who Iron Man was or what he looked like, her height couldn't be deceiving. She was very happy that she chose Iron Man.
From the moment Iron Man walked into Yanjing TV Station, his every move was already caught on camera.
This is the basic operation for participating in the show.
Therefore, many singers will come in with tricks in order to get more shots. Some will say some jokes, and some will deliberately play with the equipment or gadgets of the program crew.
Anyway, I will try my best to stay in front of the peripheral cameras for as long as possible.
When the show airs, everyone will also speculate on the singer's true identity based on some of the singer's small actions.
Lin Yu knew there were cameras, but he wasn't participating in the show to increase his popularity or become famous, so he didn't care whether the audience could see it or whether the program team edited it well.
Lin Yu strode to the door of the lounge alone.
Xiaozi bowed respectfully, "Hello, Teacher Iron Man, I am your temporary manager."
Through the mask, Lin Yu saw his manager, a young girl in her early twenties.
"Hello."
Lin Yu didn't change his voice intentionally. He was never active in front of the screen, so everyone didn't understand his voice and no one would recognize him.
Xiaozi tried his best to guess Iron Man's identity using his voice, but there were only two words and he really couldn't guess it.
But you can guess it if you talk more.
Xiaozi continued to tell Iron Man, "If you encounter any problems on the show in the future, you can tell me. I will serve you throughout the process."
Lin Yu nodded and said nothing.
Little Capital thought Iron Man would say something more, but unexpectedly he just nodded.
She suddenly remembered that many artists would be accompanied by many working staff, so she might not have realized the importance of the temporary manager appointed by the program team. She had to explain again that many problems in the program required her help.
She subconsciously looked behind Iron Man and was startled.
There is no one behind Iron Man.
"Where are your entourage?" Xiao Bo asked doubtfully.
Lin Yu shook his head, "No."
Xiaozi was completely stunned. She really didn't like artists with a lot of entourage. They didn't have much ability but the ostentation was not trivial.
When a person travels alone, a group of people follows him.
But Iron Man is too little.
There was not a single entourage.
You must at least have an assistant or a manager, and you just drive here by yourself?
At this moment, Xiaozi was in awe of Iron Man. In her heart, Iron Man was different from other singers.
She must create more topics and let Iron Man have more scenes, which will also be seen by the audience in the future.
Xiaozi took Iron Man into the lounge.
"We can see the situation on the stage in front of us through the TV, and a staff member will come to draw lots for you in a while. The number drawn will be the order in which you will appear." Xiao Bo said nonstop.
Lin Yu nodded seriously.
Xiaozi thought that Iron Man would ask questions according to their rules so that the chat could continue with questions and answers, but Iron Man just nodded.
Perhaps because he is not familiar enough, Iron Man is not talkative. It seems that Iron Man is a shy teacher.
Low-key and unassuming. Different from those celebrities who love to express themselves.
Petty bourgeoisie likes Iron Man's character more and more, and must help Iron Man get to know more people.
Xiaozi coughed lightly and asked, "Teacher Iron Man, do you have any numbers that you are looking forward to? After all, in the game, the order of appearance is quite important."
She thinks this question is a good one. No matter how quiet the other party is, they will definitely answer with a number.
Some people are willing to be the first to appear, and when they finish singing, it's over, and they don't have to wait for the pain behind.
Some people like to be the last to appear, see how others sing, and then appear themselves.
There are also people who are willing to appear in the middle, and there are several positions in the middle.
As long as Iron Man says a number, Petty Bourge can start talking about it based on this number, and the topic will open up.
She has confidence in herself.
Why is it said that interview programs test the host more? Because whether the program is good or not actually depends on whether the host asks good questions.
The questions are meaningful and easier to expand after the guests answer them. In fact, it tests the host's ability to ask questions.
Xiao Bo is waiting with great anticipation for Iron Man's answer.
Lin Yu never thought about which one would appear.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter."
Doesn't matter?
Xiao Bo was so choked by these three words that he couldn't even say a word.
She thought that Iron Man would say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Since there were only six contestants in total, she had even thought up all the words corresponding to the six numbers in her mind.
But there was no such word as "it doesn't matter" in her prepared words.
Just then, the colleague in charge of drawing lots came carrying a big box.
The petty bourgeoisie's eyes lit up.
Later, when Iron Man draws lots, she can take the opportunity to say something.
Lin Yu glanced at the lottery box and found that Xiao Bo seemed to be interested in which one would appear, so let her draw.
"You can smoke it for me." Lin Yu said casually.
Xiaozi pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"
Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"What if the number I choose is not what the teacher wants?" Xiao Bo was a little afraid to help draw lots.
Lin Yu said calmly, "It's okay, I don't care."
This time, Xiao Bo finally decided that Iron Man's indifference really didn't matter.
She pretended to roll up her arms and sleeves, and put her slender arms into the lottery box.
Take out a ball with your eyes closed.
Spread your fingers towards the camera.
"Number 6!"
She handed the number ball to Iron Man nervously.
The last one to appear.
She's also not sure whether Iron Man likes to appear last.
"The last one."
Lin Yu took a look at the numbered ball with No. 6 on it and said, "Very good."
The petty bourgeoisie breathed a sigh of relief.
The appearance order of the six players has been determined.
Chapter completed!
