Chapter 684 Singing Guest
The recording time of "The King of Masked Singer" is scheduled for the end of February, when Lin Yuran will appear as a guest in the first episode.
Of course, the only information recorded by the program team was the nickname "Putong Xiaoheizi". As for the true identity of each contestant, they did not want to ask...
It's not that they can't find it, it's just that it's not necessary. Before the contestant decides to reveal his face, even if the program team knows who is under the mask, it cannot be disclosed.
This is the core selling point of the show, so it’s naturally impossible for them to smash their own sign.
What's more, even if they really find out Lin Yuran's true identity, it seems to be meaningless. This person is too marginal to the music world, and who she is will not attract too much attention.
Yan Xu hung up the phone, with a somewhat smug smile on his face. With people from Putong Company joining the show, the final piece of the puzzle for their variety show to become popular has been completed.
Although Pu Tong did not participate in the competition in person, as long as someone under him comes over, it can still arouse widespread discussion from the outside world.
This was his intention in arranging for this contestant to appear in the first episode, because the sooner the contestant from Kepu is unveiled, the greater the publicity for the show will be!
It wasn't that he underestimated Kepu's young artist. As far as he knew, the singer was not one of the eight members of the Spring Festival Gala. He seemed to be a young man with no qualifications. Such a person was indeed not worth looking forward to.
What the program team needs is not a powerful singer, they just want an artist from Kepu Agency.
In the current Chinese music scene, Pu Tong dares to be ranked second but no one dares to be ranked first. Kepu Company has entered the world stage because of an English song. In the current music scene, Pu Tong is the answer...
Although it's a bit awkward to say this, the program team has invited many powerful singers, and the quota of Kepu is just incidental.
Let a newcomer compete with a group of powerful singers on the same stage. Maybe she will be eliminated in the first episode, and then the program team will explode at the beginning!
But if this contestant really has something, it would be a good thing to go all the way and bring more exciting performances to the show... Anyway, their program team will not suffer any loss.
But to be honest, Yan Xu does not have expectations for the latter. Masks can hide the identity of the players, but they cannot hide the strength of the players themselves.
"The nickname of Kepu Company's artist has been decided..." The assistant director on the side paused, "Her name is Pu Tong Xiao Heizi, what should I do?"
Yan Xu was stunned when he heard this. He thought he heard it wrong for a while. He has been a director of so many music and variety shows. What kind of guest has he not seen?
He has never seen this before.
An artist from Kepu Company ended up with this nickname in the competition? I don’t want to do it anymore. Is Pu Tong so easy to talk to? The employees are not angry when they stare at his bad name?
"Should we let her change..."
The assistant director thought for a moment and wondered if it would be inappropriate to include such a contestant's nickname in their program because they wanted to increase Pu Tong's popularity.
"No need!"
Who is Yan Xu, Xu Lei's senior brother, half of the domestic entertainment and variety shows, he is keenly aware of the selling point of this matter.
I want to ask, is there any more explosive and interesting scene than when Pu Tong's anti-fans reveal their faces and turn out to be artists signed by Pu Tong's company?
Yan Xu seems to have thought of the crazy behavior of watching the entertainment on the Internet, and the program has caused the outside world to go crazy.
"Is it really appropriate?"
The assistant director is cautious and a little worried about the public opinion environment.
"That's the name!"
The heat was coming to his door, and it would be a waste of money for him not to accept it, and he knew that no matter how big the public opinion was, as long as the contestants revealed their faces, everything would be solved...
He immediately made the decision. Naturally, the program team would not let go of such an excellent publicity tool.
In terms of program works and powerful singers, he has already contacted others. As for the "little black guy" from Putong Company, he just needs to make a name for himself.
"Let's put some news out there!"
Yan Xu smiled, the show was about to premiere, and the outside world was looking forward to this show. After all, they were the first to create a masked music variety show.
Although the selling point of "The King of Masked Singer" is suspense, releasing some information appropriately can definitely better arouse the curiosity of netizens.
Regarding the people coming from Kepu Company, we can also disclose some information appropriately. Then everyone will guess who this contestant is, which can also bring more popularity to the program team.
Of course, this "Putong Little Heizi" could be easily cleared of suspicion. After all, who would have thought that this person who openly carries the title of a black fan is the real Kepu signee?
…
"You really agreed!"
Yu Wanwan and the three girls were puzzled. Pu Tong was not angry at all for such an abstract nickname as Ran Ran, but he even agreed to it?
No matter how Ran Ran performs, as long as she appears on the show, her face will be revealed sooner or later. Wouldn't it be outrageous if she uses this nickname to introduce herself as an artist from Kepu?
"It feels quite interesting."
Pu Tong really wasn't lying. He had long recognized Lin Yuran's status as a black fan. By letting her participate in the show with this nickname, he also recognized her title as the number one black fan...
Of course, he also wanted to have some fun. If Lin Yuran could successfully advance to the second round, he would give his young apprentice a new song.
When "Putong Xiaoheizi" sings a new song by Putong, wouldn't it be a lot of fun? As he gets older, he likes to watch fun things. What is joy? He is joy!
Of course, the premise is that she relies on her own strength to survive. If she is eliminated in the first round, it will be hard for Pu Tong to say anything.
"The recording of the first session will start soon. Which song did your sister choose?" Pu Tong was still a little worried and planned to help his apprentice with some suggestions.
"It's not your song anyway."
Lin Yuxi only remembered that her sister said viciously that since she wanted to use the nickname Hei Fan, she had to stick to her identity as Heizi, and singing his songs was nothing.
At least in the first issue, she needs to confirm her identity as a black fan and not have too many direct interactions with Pu Tong.
"Then I can't suggest anything..."
Pu Tong sighed. He didn't understand the songs of this world and couldn't make any good suggestions. He'd better let her do it herself.
“I feel like I could sing that.”
Yu Wanwan joined the topic at the right time. She is a singer, film and television artist, and is much more familiar with Chinese music than Pu Tong and Iori Yukino.
She glanced at Pu Tong, with a smile in her eyes that seemed to say, his apprentice was also her apprentice, so why should she help him just for the sake of being a master?
What's more, Ran Ran is Yu Xi's younger sister, so she should be the "music mentor" both emotionally and rationally.
Although she has never participated in a music challenge variety show, the variety show activities are similar, and she also wants to teach some experience-based things.
"We will all be Ran Ran's support team then!"
Yu Wanwan smiled, Lin Yuran is not only Yu Xi's sister, she is also everyone's sister. When the time comes, she just needs to shout and they will definitely help!
"I can go and help sing..."
Seeing the three people discussing in full swing, Pu Tong couldn't help but feel a little funny.
The entertainment industry is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human nature. As juniors and newcomers to the agency, they all need to help.
Otherwise, those netizen audience program teams would think that Kepu Company has no one?
"If she can enter the finals, I will help sing."
