As the chief director of the "Masked Singer" program, Wu Yang was completely focused at this moment, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth between the dozens of cameras in front of him.
Whether it's an empty stage, the judging panel, or the private rooms of the six masked singers, there are cameras from multiple angles to ensure that the most exciting scenes are captured during the recording process.
Despite having verified it more than once before, Wu Yang still tirelessly checked and verified it again to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After glancing at the time, Wu Yang's expression turned quite serious. He took out his walkie-talkie and began to give instructions to the staff at each station.
"Lighting crew, get ready."
"Camera crew, get ready."
"Sound effects team, get ready."
“3…”
“2…”
“1…”
"start!"
The opening shot is a full-length shot, filmed by a camera positioned high in the air and moving continuously.
Next, the camera began to film the main members of the judging panel, with each member having a close-up for at least three seconds, especially the five big shots, who had close-ups for more than six seconds.
The members of the judging panel did not appear as serious as they do in public. They almost all smiled at the camera, and their composed demeanor clearly showed that they were very familiar with such occasions.
At this moment, the camera focused on the host on stage. This guy definitely started out as a comedian. As soon as he appeared, his humorous and witty remarks made the fans in the audience burst into laughter, and even the members of the judging panel found it very interesting.
The six masked singers, waiting to perform in their private room, watched with great interest as the host interacted with the judging panel.
In fact, they had arrived at the venue as early as noon.
After all, they also need to rehearse the songs they will be singing before the show is recorded.
All six were assigned to different rehearsal rooms and were equipped with their own professional accompaniment teams.
"Teacher Xiong, the internet celebrity, I'll go up on stage later to draw lots for you. What's your ideal order of appearance?"
Wei Xiaoying stood to the side like a well-behaved girl.
"It will be all right."
This time, the feminine charm was more pronounced.
"So the internet celebrity Teacher Xiong is also a woman. Judging from her voice, she shouldn't be very old. Could she be Teacher An Yuechun?"
Wei Xiaoying dared not ask this audacious question, knowing that filming was taking place there.
Although it can be edited out later, if she doesn't even have this much professionalism, she probably won't survive to the second episode.
The filming crew off-camera kept giving Wei Xiaoying meaningful glances, signaling her to ask some insightful questions that could evoke emotions in the audience.
Of course, Wei Xiaoying did try her best, but the internet celebrity bear in front of her, who was suspected to be An Yuechun, just wouldn't eat or drink anything, which was incredibly frustrating!
There's no other way!
The staff present were speechless. Please, you're here to participate in a variety show. Although the competition is emphasized, interaction and fun can't be neglected, okay?
From the start of the recording, you just stood there like a block of wood. It would be fine if you didn't come up with any interesting topics to stir up emotions, but you could at least say a few words.
"Team leader, what should we do?"
"What can we do? We can only try to reduce the amount of filming and edit out this segment after the program is finished."
"I heard the other groups are very active, especially the Wizard of Oz group, they're practically doing pole dancing."
If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!
Faced with the team leader's murderous glare, the filming crew member, who always brings up such sensitive topics, promptly shut up.
Everyone felt helpless; who told them to be stuck with this internet-famous bear?
About five minutes later, Wei Xiaoying returned to her private room nervously: "Teacher Xiong, I'm not very lucky. I drew the first lot."
"Can."
Contrary to expectations, the internet celebrity bear responded calmly.
This program is nothing like the Spring Festival Gala. Being the first to perform does not mean absolute glory. On the contrary, not only do you have to bear the enormous pressure of being the first to perform, but you also cannot make targeted strategic adjustments.
Of course, for celebrities, the concept of pressure is meaningless. Even Zhao Wenyao, who has come this far, possesses extraordinary mental fortitude on stage.
The only drawback is the lack of strategic adjustments.
"Go, internet celebrity Teacher Xiong!"
A staff member pushed open the door and invited the internet celebrity bear to the stage to prepare for its performance.
Before leaving, Wei Xiaoying immediately offered words of encouragement.
"Next up, please welcome our first masked singer, internet celebrity Xiong!"
The host spoke loudly, then turned around.
The camera then focused directly on the luxurious lifting platform behind them.
As a wave of colorful energy shot into the sky, a figure slowly rose from the ground.
"What an adorable design."
"This height, he must be a man, right?"
"Not necessarily, what if she was wearing high heels?"
"Even with high heels, her height is probably close to 1.73 meters. Could it be An Yuechun?"
The members of the judging panel at the scene began to make their guesses.
Of course, compared to the internet celebrity bear's identity, the members of the judging panel were more interested in the upcoming performance.
The rules for the first episode are divided into two parts. The first part is a solo performance, where each contestant has to sing a new song that has never been released before.
The second half is a duet, and the songs can only be those that have appeared on the show "Masked Singer".
It must be said that this rule is very harsh, at least it is very unfriendly to ordinary artists. Even the top stars in each state, and even some celebrities, do not have the ability to create.
For celebrities, however, creating art is a daily routine; it's simply a matter of quality.
In fact, this rule was modified by the system, and it suited Lin Rui's wishes perfectly, since he didn't have a deep understanding of the songs in this world.
"ambiguous?"
The spotlight fell and shone on the internet-famous bear.
The members of the judging panel fell silent, watching the internet celebrity bear gripping the microphone tightly in both hands.
A slightly hazy piano accompaniment began.
"Ambiguity makes people suffer, unable to find evidence of love. When to move forward, when to give up, there is no courage to even embrace."
What a gentle voice!
That delicate, pitiful quality made the members of the judging panel all raise their eyebrows.
Tong Xue, Xue Ying, Xia Xianci, and others exchanged glances, as if to say that the internet celebrity bear sang quite well.
Pang Anyou and Ke Changhuan closed their eyes slightly, seemingly trying to guess the owner behind the gentle voice.
"I can only accompany you this far, after all, there are some things I can't do."
It's more than friendship but not quite love; it's a landscape where rain is about to fall in the distance.
Should I cry or not? Thinking too much is because I still miss you.
I was very dissatisfied and began to have doubts.
Is the person in front of you the same real you?
Tong Xue and Xue Ying's eyes flickered.
Shi Yongzheng, Pang Anyou, and Ke Changhuan all looked serious.
From the opening chorus to the verses, the entire song is performed in a gentle, narrative style.
But it is precisely this gentle narration that evokes the bittersweet emotions that move everyone, and reveals a girl's sense of distance from love.
The lyrics and music complement each other perfectly, and the highly infectious, gentle rhythm instantly elevates the quality of the entire song to a new level.
But that wasn't what surprised them.
The reason for the strange look in his eyes was that the internet celebrity bear on the stage hadn't taken a breath the entire time!
Singing at a slow, gentle pace without taking a breath is even more difficult than hitting high notes without taking a breath!
