When Han Zhou and Black Rose met, the program crew just filmed and didn't care.
The two walked in together.
Soon, a female singer wearing a suit and a diamond mask came towards them.
Black Rose knew that this was her direct competitor: "Hello, big diamond ring."
The voice of this diamond female singer is very high-pitched. Of course, it is the voice of a voice changer: "My name is Hope."
Somehow, Han Zhou remembered a line.
Hope is something as precious as diamonds in this era——"The Wandering Earth 1/2".
Black Rose: "Please call me Queen."
Hope: "Haha, Sister Yueji."
black Rose:"……"
Han Zhou: "My name is..."
Hope: "Hello, roast duck."
Han Zhou: "Red-skinned duck."
"Let me solemnly say that I am a sweet-skinned duck, not a roast duck."
The executive director held a loud speaker and said: "Attention, this Peking Duck contestant! When you speak too loudly to other singers face to face, your voice will overwhelm the volume of the voice changer and people will hear it."
Han Zhou: "Haha, it sounds like someone knows me."
Black Rose looked Han Zhou up and down: "You seem to be in good shape, you should be very young. Could you be Lu Jin?"
Han Zhou and his companions entered the lounge and then went into their own rooms.
In his room, Han Zhou carefully thought about the layout of "Voice of Dark Gold" that he saw today.
It is obvious that it is more like "King of Masked Singer" on stage and more like "Singer" behind the stage.
However, there are not seven contestants, but 5+1. Five singers and one big devil.
Soon, the recording in front began.
The screaming continued.
It was obvious that someone was warming up the crowd.
The video signal was also received, and the TV in the room began to broadcast the situation at the recording site.
Han Zhou watched Lu Jin finish singing his representative work "Prime Years" to warm up the audience, and many people at the scene were screaming.
Lu Jin...is a member of the guessing panel?
After Lu Jin took the seat on the judging panel, another veteran singer, Yang Cong, stood up and said, "Why don't we ask the singers backstage to stay out and sing one song each, and then it'll be over in one episode."
"The director will settle the bill for us later."
Lu Jin laughed so hard that he was numb: "That's a good idea."
Yang Cong smiled and said, "No more jokes, let's introduce ourselves. Since there is no host, we will introduce ourselves."
"Hello everyone, I'm Yang Cong, a singer. I've been a producer for more than ten years. If I meet a singer I'm familiar with, there's absolutely no way he or she will escape my scrutiny."
"By the way, I have to say that among the singers participating in the competition, the loser will need to vote on the spot to see who he is. If we guess correctly, he will be disqualified from continuing the competition."
"If you are not guessed, you can choose to reveal your identity or enter the next round of the competition."
"And the winner of the match, if he gets the most votes on site, will be eligible to advance directly to the semi-finals."
"Or, if you win two consecutive one-on-one duels, you can advance directly to the semi-finals."
"But! Singers who qualify for the semi-finals also have the right to continue participating in the showdown until their identities are guessed."
This competition system sounds simple, but in fact, it is very scary.
Just imagine, if a singer knows that his opponent is strong, he has to show his true ability if he wants to win.
But once you show your true abilities, the probability of your identity being guessed skyrocket.
Once you lose the duel and your identity is guessed, you will be eliminated directly.
And they were eliminated by revealing their faces.
This is a very embarrassing thing for a mature and famous singer.
The audience had mixed reactions, with many being a little surprised.
To be honest, those who can come to watch the show in person are not necessarily the ones who follow the show online.
Some people just want to come to the TV station to participate in the recording, or bring their friends to play.
Yang Cong: "Let us welcome the singer, Lu Jin, who is good at singing and dancing and handsome!"
Lu Jin stood up, turned around and bowed to the back row: "Hello everyone, hello everyone, I am Lu Jin."
Many audience members were screaming.
Yang Cong: "Come on, Doudou."
It was obvious that Yang Cong and Dou Dou were not familiar with each other and didn't know how to introduce themselves.
Lu Jin spoke up: "Li Doudou is an outstanding young actress and the only beauty on our guessing panel this time."
Li Doudou greeted very implicitly, probably because he had not been on variety shows much.
The last guessing panel member stood up and said: "At first I thought they wanted me to be the host, but I didn't expect they wanted me to guess the singer."
"Hello everyone, I am the host Zimo."
"I usually make a living with my brain, so leave the job of guessing the singer to me."
Yang Cong smiled: "Let's stop doing that useless thing and welcome the first singer to appear!!"
Han Zhou sat in the lounge, staring at the TV.
On TV, a male singer staring at a Rubik's Cube was led to the stage by two staff members in suits.
Yang Cong: "Hello, Mofang, what's your name?"
Rubik's Cube: "My name is Wang... My name is Rubik's Cube."
The audience laughed so hard that they were numb.
As the first one to appear, Rubik's Cube almost revealed his real name.
Yang Cong smiled: "Your last name is Wang, right? That narrows the scope a lot."
"Why did you choose this mask?"
Rubik's Cube: "Are you educated enough to call this a mask? It's at least a helmet."
In the guessing panel, Zimo started to make noises: "Wow, so aggressive! Maybe he's a variety show host!"
Yang Cong smiled: "Mofang, are you a singer by profession?"
Rubik's Cube: "I'm a singer."
Yang Cong: "Okay, let's watch your performance first, and then we can talk slowly later."
"According to our competition system, there will be restrictions on the song style of each singer in each episode."
"The restrictions are determined by voting by netizens."
"In each subsequent episode, the opponent will choose one of the topics to assign to the singer, but in the first episode, the chief director will choose the topic based on his understanding of the singers."
"The Rubik's Cube question is!"
The answer was given on the big screen at the back.
【Black Fairy Tale】
“Black Fairy Tale: The singer must choose a fairy tale song and perform it in a dark style.”
Lu Jin was stunned: "Is it such a big deal?"
This kind of adaptation is easy to be criticized.
If the adaptation is good, then everyone will praise it, saying, "You are so talented and the adaptation is so successful!"
But if it is changed for the worse, it will ruin childhood. What a crap, it's too low.
Of course, the singer can choose to write a new song, just with the lyrics or melody of the original song.
You can also change nothing and just change the singing style and showmanship.
You can even keep the singing style the same and make the fairy tale scary by changing the rhythm.
Lu Jin signaled everyone to keep quiet.
The heavy heartbeat sound on the stage also reminded everyone that the song had begun.
His choice was given on the big screen.
"Three Ducks".
Three Ducks is a very famous nursery rhyme in the world.
No one expected that the style of the song would still be cheerful.
It’s just that the arrangement is very fashionable and the lyrics have not been changed, but new lyrics have been added.
The original song tells the story of three ducks who made different choices and eventually grew up.
The first one is hardworking, the second one is helpful, and the third one is lazy.
No one heard the theme [Black Fairy Tale] until Rubik's Cube finished singing the first verse.
Until his last verse.
"The industrious duck travelled far from home by train,
Came to Changsha. "
The sound of a train whirring in the background music.
The magic cube said a word: "Beer duck."
In the guessing group, Yang Cong tactically retreated.
Lu Jin stretched his neck forward, looking surprised.
The Rubik's Cube is still singing.
"It was helpful and took the train far away from home,
Carrying my schoolbag, I went to Qinghua. "
“Yanjing roast duck.”
"The laziest duck did not take the train and stayed at home.
Tick-tick-tick-tick."
"Hulu duck."
The judges were completely dumbfounded.
This is not a dark nursery rhyme or fairy tale, this is a horror story!
After singing in an anthropomorphic style for a long time, what happened in the end?
This is really dark!
However, the song is nice.
Lu Jin screamed and stood up: "Is this a big deal?!"
Zimo: "Brother Cong, can you guess who it is?"
Yang Cong: "Ask first..."
After the Rubik's Cube, comes the Black Queen.
After the Black Queen came on stage, she said, "Hello, Lu Jin. I met a singer backstage who looked very similar to you. I thought it was you."
Everyone also thought about people who looked like Lu Jin for a long time.
Zimo finally reacted: "Wait a minute, we should be guessing the identity of the Black Queen, not guessing whose body shape and height are more like Lu Jin!"
Black Queen: "It's late, play the accompaniment!"
Yang Cong: "I understand, everyone has special skills!"
The Black Queen and the Rubik's Cube were in the same group for the challenge. After the Black Queen finished singing, the judges could only observe a moment of silence for the Rubik's Cube.
The Black Queen, who started out as a veteran first-line female singer, turned a folk song into a pop song, and her explosive high notes at the end made the audience boil.
As expected, the on-site voting statistics showed that one thousand viewers voted.
The Black Queen scored 600 points, the Rubik's Cube only scored 370 points, and more than 20 people abstained from voting.
Rubik's Cube lost badly, but the judging panel couldn't guess who he was at all, so Rubik's Cube has to fight again in the next round.
The second matchup: Hope vs. Robot.
The title of "Hope" is to change a love song into a folk song expressing the feelings of nature and mountains and rivers.
Finally, I hope to complete a bel canto adaptation on stage.
This song has been modified so that it can only be performed at evening parties.
It immediately ignited the scene.
"A beautiful voice singer of this level... could it be Teacher Lu Ling from the national team?!?"
Yang Cong: "I hope we have collaborated on a song together."
Hope: “Emm… Can I not answer?”
Yang Cong: “You must answer.”
Hope smiled and said, "I sang a song with your original soundtrack at a KTV."
Zimo: "Oh, that means we have never cooperated."
Li Doudou: "But she didn't deny the cooperation. This is misleading us."
Lu Jin: "Is there a possibility that by the end of the first episode, we won't be able to guess a single answer?"
Yang Cong pretended to be angry: "If you can talk, just say less."
Lu Jin laughed awkwardly: "I really think this is possible. The voice of hope is also very familiar to me. I feel like I have heard such a beautiful voice somewhere before, but I can't remember where."
"I'd like to ask the program team to invite a few more members of the guessing panel for the next episode."
Hope’s opponent, the robot, was also very powerful, but it messed up the performance.
His topic is the hot pure love song.
In the end, in order to maintain that innocent atmosphere, it wasn't hot enough and the on-site reaction was obviously much weaker.
"The voting is over. Hope has 730 votes, and robots have 243 votes."
Yang Cong was a little regretful: "I didn't handle this game well, but I believe you can handle it well next time."
The robot smiled and said, "No need, I choose to take off my mask directly."
“Ah!?!!” the audience exclaimed.
Robot: "I'm preparing for the concert, so I can't spend much time drawing for the challenge song."
"I thought that with my ability, I could get a direct pass, but I didn't expect to lose so badly in a one-on-one match."
The robot said, removing his mask on the spot.
The audience was in an uproar.
"ah?!!!"
Zhou Quanou is a veteran first-line male singer who is deeply loved by the audience.
One on one, more than 200 votes against 700 votes?!
The first person to be eliminated from the entire show was actually a top singer!!!
This is a first-line singer!
In other shows, second-tier singers are not easily eliminated, so how can first-tier singers be eliminated?!
The audience finally reacted.
No, I voted him out.
If you ignore the face and just listen to the songs, the robot Zhou Quanou's songs are indeed far from what you expected.
This... can only mean that Xiwang is too strong, not that Zhou Quanou is too weak.
Yang Cong had no choice but to chat with his old friends and invite Zhou Quanou to join the guessing group.
Zhou Quanou: "This job suits me!"
Yang Cong took the script, took a look at it, and laughed: "Let's invite the lucky person tonight!"
"He got the same song as the Big Devil, so he's going to compete against the Big Devil in this episode."
Zhou Quanou: "Hope is this strong, what level is the Great Demon King?"
Yang Cong: "There is one thing I must clarify. The big devil is not necessarily the best."
“But the average level of big devils in each issue is very high.”
"At the same time, the category that was drawn is likely what the Big Devil is very good at, so he was directly selected as the Big Devil by the program team, which means that he is qualified to be the first and has the qualifications to go directly to the semi-finals."
"Let me put it simply. The Great Devil is going to sing a song of his own choosing, not one that is chosen for him by others."
"So, the Big Devil is called the Big Devil, because he is the champion and he is standing on his own home turf."
Han Zhou, who was waiting at the backstage door, complained to the staff next to him: "I'll read out a set of numbers, and you quickly go buy five lottery tickets and come back."
At this time, the common question of the Big Devil Group appeared on the screen.
【Happy sad song.】
"Your arrangement, song, and singing style should all combine to give the audience a song with a cheerful melody, but your lyrics must be sad."
Zhou Quanou was stunned: "Ah?!"
"I thought my title, "A Passionate Love Song," was already off base, but isn't this a happy and sad song funny?!"
At this time, the red-skinned duck Han Zhou came on stage.
On another street, a male singer holding a desk lamp went on stage.
"Who is the big devil?"
"Lamp or roast duck?"
Yang Cong: "At this time, I have to check the card to confirm."
"I'm sure after entering, the lamp is the big devil."
Desk lamp: "My name is Searchlight!!!"
Yang Cong: "Hello, lamp."
Desk lamp: "Hello, Xiao Yang."
Yang Cong: "Brother Tanzhao, do you know me?"
When Yang Cong heard the other party calling him Xiao Yang, he immediately realized that the other party's status or position in the music industry and even debut age were higher than his.
So the stubborn duck immediately gave in and called him "searchlight".
Tanzhao smiled: "Of course I know him. We have worked together more than once."
Yang Cong: "From your accent, are you from Taiwan?"
Searchlight: "Guess again."
Yang Cong: "Guess whether I guess or not."
Searchlight: "Do you want to guess or not?"
Yang Cong: “Hmm…”
Lu Jin picked up the microphone: "Let's talk to the roast duck."
"Roast Duck, you must be the one that the Black Queen mentioned whose body shape is very similar to mine."
Before Han Zhou could say anything, he looked at her and asked, "What are you talking about! Am I not shaped like you?"
Everyone laughed.
Because although Tanzhao has a strong aura, he is half a head shorter than the red-skinned duck.
Han Zhou picked up the microphone and said, "I'm not competing with Searchlight. Call out the Rubik's Cube. I'm here for revenge."
Everyone and the audience remembered the song "Three Ducks" sung by Mofang and laughed.
At this time, backstage, Cube, Hope, and the Black Queen were sitting together.
Hope: "Magic Cube, what's your name, Wang?"
rubik's cube:"……"
Hope: "Are you afraid that the roast duck will come and beat you up?"
rubik's cube:"……"
Hope: “Have you ever been hit by a duck?”
…
Han Zhou waited until the audience had finished laughing before he spoke: "Also, I'm not called roast duck, I'm called red-skinned duck."
Lu Jinxue Yang Cong: "Hello, roast duck."
Han Zhouxue looked at him and said, "Hello, Xiao Lu."
Lu Jin: "Ouch! Brother Tanzhao, he is imitating you!"
The lamp turned to look at the red-skinned duck: "Well, since we chose the same topic, it's normal for us to speak similarly."
"I'm telling you, he could be me, my clone."
After all, it's a variety show, so it's okay to say whatever you want.
Yang Cong smiled and said, “So Red-skinned Duck, why are you called this?”
Han Zhou: "Because after eating hot pot, a certain part of the body will turn red, which is called red-skinned swallow, which is not very elegant, so it is called red-skinned duck..."
The guessing panel screamed: "Is this something you can say?"
Li Doudou didn't understand and asked around: "What does that mean? Which part of your body will turn red after eating hot pot?"
Zimo dodged: "Don't ask me, I don't really understand either."
Yang Cong: "You two have the same topic. Who will sing first? We can talk after you finish singing?"
Han Zhou: "I can tell from the first glance that you are a senior. Senior, please go first."
Tanzhao: "Respect the old and love the young. The old must go first. You go first."
Han Zhou: “Oh?”
Lu Jin: "Why don't you just listen to some music? Why don't you just have a fight?"
In the end, Tanzhao sang first.
Tanzhao's singing is very scary.
It's a lively song, and when the first and second verses are repeated, there is not the slightest difference, it is extremely stable.
Without exposing one's true singing style and timbre, this kind of stability represents a level of skill that may not be possessed by first-tier singers.
This is at least a quasi-king!
What's even more outrageous is that the song was adapted very brilliantly. "The Rain", a very famous tragic song in the world, was adapted to be very cheerful.
Although the song itself is a bit detached, due to Tanzhao's strong skills, there is no sense of incongruity when it is sung, and it sounds very good.
After the song was finished, the entire judging panel was in worship.
"As expected of the Great Demon King!"
"too strong!"
Yang Cong: "The choice of the big devil is to choose one of those five or six people. It is unlikely that others have such skills."
Lu Jin: "Then, what is the probability that one of these five or six people is the other contestant on the stage?"
In that case, doesn't that mean the Red Ducks are doomed to lose?
At this time, it was Han Zhou's turn to go on stage.
The song information was given on the big screen.
"First Experience of Love"
Singer: Red Duck
Lyrics, music, arrangement: Red Duck
Many people at the scene were stunned.
Huh? New song?
Using a new song to do a proposition challenge? And it’s a challenge to face the big devil?!
Any chance of winning?
At this time, Han Zhou has entered the state of simulating a singer.
