Entertainment: Starting from the king of crossover singers

Chapter 196 "The Masked Singer King"

"Chang Dong, Brother Wu doesn't know what's wrong, he's alone on the rooftop, smoking, drinking, eating barbecue, and not talking."

"Brother Fa, Brother Wu, I don't know what's wrong..."

"Sister Wen, brother Wu didn't bring his mobile phone, he just sat on the stage..."

It was the assistant director and cameraman of the crew of "The Unknown" who discovered this situation. They came to Ge Wu at night to discuss what to shoot tomorrow, but no one opened the door for 10 minutes. They made a call, and the bell rang behind the door. what's the matter.

After looking for someone to open the door, only the mobile phone was missing. After checking the surveillance, I found out that I had gone to the rooftop with my things.

When I went to the rooftop, I found that Ge Wu was looking up at the starry sky, eating, drinking, and smoking a dragon. He responded to his questions, but he didn't take the initiative to speak. , Ye Wen made a phone call.

Not long after, the assistant director hiding in the dark took the phone over according to the instructions, and Chang Renhao was on the other side of the video.

"Is something okay?"

"It's alright."

"Then what are you doing on the rooftop? Your daughter-in-law and your daughter are going to fly there."

"I just suddenly figured out something."

"what's up?"

"It turns out that in the Guizhou dialect, 'deep' is also pronounced as 'star'."

"……as long as you are happy."

"Okay, I'm going back to my room, call me if you need anything."

Ge Wu hung up the phone, coughed twice, and called the two people who tipped off the news to clean up the mess, and he was going back to his room.In the end, within two steps, a bunch of people appeared on the roof, including actors and support staff, one by one stepped forward to support him, for fear that he would accidentally step on some round object and fall off the roof.

"Teacher Ge, please slow down."

"You look so handsome smoking."

"Massive, it's so charming when you drink."

"Mr. Ge, you really don't look like a person who is about to be 40. With this skill and figure, no one will believe you are 30."

……

Ge Wu smiled and didn't answer. In the past few years, with more and more cutting-edge first-line artists, almost taking over the emperor, the queen, the movie king, and the movie queen, he naturally rose and never heard a bad word. There is no praise or derogation.

Only Chang Renhao and the others were still joking.

When he returned to the room, he picked up his cell phone, and the acquaintance basically called once, but he didn't call again after knowing through the assistant director that he didn't bring his cell phone.

Ge Wu went back with Ye Wen and the others, and found a reason to prevaricate, which was simply to indulge after being tired from filming.

Naturally, it was unavoidable to be scolded. How can a person who is almost 40 years old be like a young man who has lost his love, smoking and drinking alone at every turn.

More than three hours later, he took his car to the airport to pick up his wife and daughter. Ye Wen came here on a chartered plane. He wanted to scold people at the first sight. Fortunately, there was a driver with him, and he would inevitably complain when he returned to the hotel. After the daughter fell asleep, she was persuaded by Ge Wu.

The next day, Ge Wu left the crew to take them on a trip, and handed over the filming to the assistant director. Anyway, his own scenes were almost finished, and it wouldn't take long to make up for them.

In October, during the National Day file, "The Unknown" won a box office of 30 billion, and Ge Wu's personal box office total also reached more than 400 billion.

For him now, it doesn't matter what the box office total is or what record it breaks, it's just like the popularity value in the system panel, it's already inflated.

Ge Wu is full of many things in Krypton's popularity, and he hasn't shown much to the outside world. When filming costume dramas, he can write calligraphy and the like without hand, and he can write it with a pen.

In terms of musical instruments, there is no other reason for mixing a guitar with a full level. After all, it was relying on Wu Bai to turn around back then.

On November 12th, Ge Wu, who was half-pissed off when he was teaching his daughter homework at home, received a call from Li Xian of Shanghai TV.

"Director Li, what's the matter?"

"Ge Dao, don't call me that. I'm the person in charge of the show, and it's not appropriate to be called the director. That's right. I just planned a variety show and I want to ask you to help."

variety show?

This time it's fresh enough. Ge Wu hasn't participated in it for a long time. The main reason is that there are too many scripts and it's not interesting.

In addition, since a few years ago, there are not many TV stations that can afford his announcement fee.

It’s just that Li Xian was the one who made the request. He was the one who gave him a hand in “The King of Crossover Singers” back then, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many take-offs in the future, and this is also the second time he asked, so it should be considered as a help Yes, he asked: "What show, let me listen, it's not too vulgar Brother Xian, I will definitely give you your face,"

"It's hard to ask for your help. How can you make vulgar things? It's a good show. The tentative name is "The King of Masked Singer". The contestants cover their faces with costumes and helmets, so that the audience cannot guess who they are. When recording a program, I also use a voice-changing microphone when speaking, and when singing, I try to use different voice lines and vocal positions to sing..."

The other end of the phone was very excited after hearing Ge Wu's agreement. First he took a long breath, and then explained the rules and selling points of the program as quickly and clearly as possible, trying to impress him in the shortest possible time.

"How do you feel, Director Ge?"

"Normal programs will definitely not invite you to help. I think this program is good. Although it can't bring you any more popularity and celebrity status, it's fun, isn't it?"

"It's been a long time since you sang, and your fans are looking forward to hearing you sing again, especially in variety shows."

"Why, how is it? Teacher Ge?"

Li Xian finished speaking enthusiastically, but found that the other party did not speak, neither refused nor agreed. The only change was that when he heard the four words "King of Masked Singer", he made a "poof", as if he heard something. Funny thing.

Could it be that Mr. Ge thinks this program is ridiculous? Could it be that his rich screenwriting experience has discovered some major loopholes?For a while, Li Xian's thoughts raced, and he scanned the rules and procedures, wanting to see if there were any mistakes that he hadn't noticed yet.

Naturally, Ge Wu didn't think the show was ridiculous, but was surprised that it took so long for such a powerful "King of Masked Singer" to be thought of. year.

Although the formats of these two programs are different, but the core is similar, there is no reason why others can't think of it.

After making great achievements in lyrics, music, acting, and directing, he has paid great attention to keeping a low profile, trying not to do "invention and creation" things, so as not to be too conspicuous, so he has not created many variety shows, such as "Star Detective" ", "Longing for Life", "The King of Masked Singer".

Now that someone else brought it up, he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, "Okay, I'm not busy recently, since it's a masked singing, it's natural to keep it a secret, I don't want to be discovered in advance."

"That's natural!" Even though he was looking at the rules on the paper, most of Li Xian's attention was still on the phone, and when he heard his agreement, his voice rose a lot.

The two talked about some details on the phone. The announcement fee was 1000 million per installment, the type of mask props, and the confidentiality of the entire program group. Only Li Xian knew about it, and Li Xian came to the door to sign the contract.

After hanging up the phone and looking at his daughter's terrible math homework, most of Ge Wu's good mood suddenly disappeared. He patiently held his temper and gave her lectures under fire. .

Fortunately, there is a younger sister, what is the effect of studying so well?
Be a teacher to my niece.

In the evening, Ye Wen came home. While sleeping, Ge Wu mentioned to her about the recording of the variety show, and asked her if she would also like to participate, and the couple went to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers together.

"It's quite interesting. I'll forget it. The voice is too obvious. It's exposed as soon as I open my mouth. It's a rascal."

"It's incomparable to you, female voices can imitate."

"You can imagine how sensational it will be when we meet in the finals. It's probably even more sensational than a scumbag like you accidentally exposing our relationship."

"That's a must." Ge Wu said, after so many years of suppressing his singing skills, he even wanted to keep the secret and die of old age. Unexpectedly, Li Xian actually made this show, so it's a big deal.

"That's right." Ye Wen changed his smiling face and became serious.

"what happened?"

"I don't mind if you imitate a female voice when you cover your face, but you can't dress up as a woman!"

"I feel like you're reminding me to wear women's clothes."

"If you are not afraid of being turned over and regarded as black history in the future, forget it. Be careful that your daughter will laugh at you for the rest of your life."

"rest assured."

……

After deciding to participate in "Crossover Singer", the first thing Ge Wu did was to buy a house. He bought a small apartment in the suburbs of Shanghai, so that he would not wear clothes when the show came to pick up people.

Chang Renhao used to live in the same way, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law are not good now. They have been picked up by the paparazzi too much. There is no secret at all. Once the show is broadcast at the right time, they may be recognized.

As for the mask, he asked Li Xian to make a "mustard instant noodles" helmet, shaped like a porcelain bowl, with some instant noodles and yellow mustard in the middle, and secretly sent it over before the recording of the show started.

At the end of November, Shanghai Satellite TV started the promotional preheating for "The King of Masked Singer".

"Let go of the glory of the past, put on a mask, and stand out with singing in a brand new arena."

The catchphrase design is simple and straightforward, highlighting the characteristics and gimmicks of the entire program, and it has been on the hot searches just by relying on the catchphrase, which can be regarded as causing quite a stir.

Then, Shanghai Satellite TV announced the rules and the list of judges one after another.

When the list of judges came out, netizens shouted that they couldn't accept it, bluntly saying why two of them stayed in the judges' seat instead of becoming singers, the program team was simply reckless.

The two are the evergreen tree in the music scene, Liu Xinchao, the veteran fat singer, and Cheng Yu, the youngest singer before Ye Wen.

In addition, in order to make the show more entertaining, Shidi and sketch king Gu Wei were invited as judges.

Of the remaining two judges, Ge Wu is more familiar with one of them, Zhang Mingxi, who won the best actress with "Li Mi's Conjecture", and the last one is Yin Cheng, who has not been contacted for a long time.

Among the five judges are professional singers, actresses, and atmosphere groups, which can be regarded as a strong lineup, both professional and entertaining.

As for the announcement of the contestants, there was nothing to watch. The first six people were all wearing helmets, and the voices of a short interview were all mechanical, making it difficult to distinguish between men and women.

That is, the image of a certain person's instant noodles is more noticeable, and the others are either anime characters or characters in film and television dramas. There is only this one food, which is still not very healthy.

With the comparison, many people subconsciously thought that this contestant named "Zhucai Instant Noodles" was probably here to make up the numbers.

Either make up the numbers, or just sell miserably to gain attention.

After all, after nearly ten years, the way of making money in the entertainment industry is still the same. First try to make a person popular, and then use the popularity to make money, and ignore the rest.

Sharpness and fashion are different among them. The artists of the two companies are more popular and have a stronger foundation. They will not regard artists as one-time consumables. Of course, this has something to do with the huge team of screenwriters and songwriters. In a word, there are always works that can be obtained, and who doesn't want to flow forever.

December NO.11, Sunday, after eight o'clock in the morning, a commercial tram drove into the residential area west of Shanghai, Tian Yao, the accompanying host of "Zhacai Instant Noodles", got off the bus and looked at the towering residential building Ruo Ruo Thoughtful.

"Nowadays, if you still live in a high-rise house, it is likely that you are an artist below the second tier."

With the development of society for decades, real estate has long been a sunset industry, and high-rise or super high-rise buildings built a long time ago are facing aging problems of water pipes, fire protection, electrical circuits, and elevators. It requires a lot of capital investment, and there is no income. Therefore, in this era, high-rise houses are cheap and difficult to sell.

After sending a WeChat message to confirm that the teacher was ready, she led the cameraman to carry the machine upstairs, on the 29th floor, the former viewing room.

After a not-so-smooth ascent, the elevator doors opened.

Standing outside the door was a man with an instant noodle head, about 1 meters tall, in a white plaid suit, and there was probably some special luminescent material on the clothes, shiny, holding two bottles of cola that was suffocating.

"That's the only thing in the fridge."

A special mechanical sound sounded, which startled Tian Yao and others, too good a sense of secrecy?Still, 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 probably not too old, he knows a little bit about the world, but he doesn't know much.

Entering the house, there are two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. There are no books or musical instruments. The windows and the floor are quite clean.

"Teacher, your house is quite simple." Tian Yao said without any room to boast.

"I belong to the glamorous appearance, and it's all done by housekeeping."

Whether you want to be so upright or not, it's hard to discover the bright spots.

Tian Yao did a brief interview and left by car with the "instant noodle" teacher.

It can’t be short, I don’t disclose any information about this teacher, the age, occupation, and related works are all about him,
If you want to get more lenses, you can't start.
