"Representative Lin, this is the invitation letter from the program team."
A few days later, Xiao Gudong came into Lin Yuan's office with an exquisite invitation letter.
"read."
Lin Yuan was writing the next installment of the Poirot series in front of his computer. His fingers never stopped working and he had no time to look at the invitation letter.
"OK."
Little Gudong opened the beautifully packaged invitation and cleared his throat:
"Thank you, Mr. Xianyu, for participating in the "Masked Singer" program. The program team sends you the most sincere greetings. You are one of the performing guests in the first episode of the program. Please arrive at the Suzhou Music Center on February 2nd to participate in the official recording..."
The following is an introduction to the program rules.
"This program will be broadcast online once a week. There will be six singers in each episode. After the singers finish singing, they will be scored by 500 audience members, 50 professional music judges, and four judges. Each audience member has one vote, each professional judge has two votes, and each judge has 100 votes. The full score is 1,000 votes..."
The votes held by the judges are almost decisive.
It seems that the program team also considered this problem, so they made a patch to weaken the judges' rights in disguise:
“The judges’ one hundred votes will be cast in a distributed manner, and the total number of votes per issue shall not exceed one hundred votes, while the audience and the jury will have the right to vote in each round.”
That's much better.
The audience has the right to vote in each round, so after six rounds of performances, the total number of votes is actually six.
The total number of votes for each member of the jury is twelve.
It's just that they can't distribute it.
The judges have relatively flexible rights in allocating votes.
They can cast all their 100 votes for a certain contestant, or they can vote for several singers separately, as long as the total number does not exceed 100 votes...
Little Gudong continued to read:
"In each episode, one singer with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated, one singer will be on hold, and the remaining four singers will all advance. The eliminated singers will need to reveal their identities, while the on-hold singers will not have to reveal their identities. They will participate in the future resurrection competition."
Lin Yuan nodded.
It is customary for the last-to-last singer to be eliminated, while the second-to-last singer has the opportunity to participate in the revival competition. This provides some singers who are very talented but occasionally make mistakes with a chance to turn their performance around.
"in addition."
"The program team will not interfere with the singers' song selection. The Arts Association will contact major companies to obtain the singing copyrights used in the song competition, and at the same time allow singers to sing new songs in the competition..."
Reading this, Little Gudong laughed and said:
"The company has received a notice from the Arts Association. Manager Zhou asked me this morning to ask if you can authorize the contestants of the program to sing the representative's works. The copyright fee is in accordance with the unified standard for such programs..."
"no problem."
Lin Yuan doesn't mind others covering his songs. In fact, all composers don't mind.
This is the power of "King of Masked Singer". They have the background of the Literary and Art Association. Who would refuse the request of the Literary and Art Association
Next, Xiao Gudong read some instructions from the program team.
There were no terms that Lin Yuan could not accept.
He can accept being unmasked, let alone other conditions
…
Around Lin Yuan, assistant Gu Dong was not the only one who knew that he was going to participate in "King of Masked Singer".
That afternoon.
Lin Yuan came to the comics studio and told Kaneki the news.
Jinmu didn't know that Lin Yuan was camera-phobic, so he didn't think it was a big deal for Lin Yuan to sing. Xianyu's identity was originally semi-public.
He had only one concern:
"It's fine to participate in 'King of Masked Singer', but after the mask is removed, the identity of Shadow may not be hidden anymore."
Lin Yuan said: "I'll leave this to you."
Kaneki nodded, "Does anyone else at school know that you're a shadow?"
The cash or point red envelope has been sent to your account! Follow the WeChat public account Book Friends Base Camp to receive it!
"No."
The school only knew that Lin Yuan was good at drawing, but no one knew that Lin Yuan was actually the cartoonist Yingzi.
However, only a few people, such as Zhong Yu, knew that Luo Wei was Lin Yuan's comic assistant.
But no one knows what kind of comics Luo Wei and Lin Yuan drew. Even if someone who knows Luo Wei can guess it through clues, it will not have much impact.
It is very difficult to popularize the truth that is known by a few ordinary people, and Kaneki must have some insurance.
"Understood."
Jin Mu smiled and said, "So the only people who know that you are Shadow are Luo Wei and other assistants in the studio. When you officially reveal your identity, I will talk to them about the confidentiality principle and take care of things for you."
"good."
This time, Lin Yuan only plans to expose Xianyu's identity. It is better for Yingzi and Chu Kuang to continue to stay behind the scenes.
"By the way..."
Jinmu was curious: "Boss, can you sing?"
Lin Yuan said: "A little bit."
He didn't tell Kaneki that he changed his job to composer because his voice was damaged.
"A little bit?"
Kaneki's expression became strange: "You really do know a little bit of everything."
“There are also many who don’t.”
"for example?"
"I can't transform."
Kaneki: “…”
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and added: "The 'body' of the body, not the 'sound' of the sound."
Kaneki:
Does this emphasis make sense
Are you explaining to me the difference between front nasal and back nasal
"… "
After communicating with Jinmu, Lin Yuan took out a notebook and started writing and drawing.
He is going to prepare for the game.
The first preparation, of course, is to choose the song!
Unlike most singers who need to cover other people's songs.
Lin Yuan doesn’t plan to cover other people’s songs, or even sing songs he wrote for others before…
He's going to sing a new song!
With the ratings of "King of Masked Singer", singing new songs can be a good way to gain reputation.
But Lin Yuan did this not only to gain fame, but also because he was not a good singer.
This singing skill is not good, of course, when compared with the first-line singers, or even the kings and queens of singing.
Therefore, Lin Yuan has to create new songs to make up for his shortcomings in singing skills.
Anyway, he has a system, so it is impossible for him to encounter a situation where his creative speed cannot keep up with the progress of the competition.
But there is a downside to singing new songs...
That is, the new song must consider the audience's acceptance.
If the audience cannot get Lin Yuan’s new song in the first place, then this feature will not only not become Lin Yuan’s advantage, but will instead become Lin Yuan’s disadvantage!
Therefore, Lin Yuan must be careful when choosing songs!
He wants to choose songs that are easy for the audience to get.
After all, "King of Masked Singer" is a live singing competition, which is completely different from the competition in the season rankings.
Listeners can listen to and appreciate the songs on the season list repeatedly to feel the charm of the songs. There are many songs that seem okay at first listen, but become more and more addictive the more you listen to them.
That’s why “May We Live Together Forever” can be popular.
But for live songs, the audience can only listen to them once.
If you sing songs like "May We Live Together Forever" on this kind of stage, you will definitely suffer.
Because after listening to it once, many people may not even realize the brilliance of this song, and it’s time to vote...
Therefore, when performing a song live, the audience’s first impression is the most important!
If the first impression is not good, no matter how artistic the lyrics are, how profound the content of the song is, or how brilliant the composition technique is, it is doomed to be in vain!
“What are some songs that are suitable for the stage?”
"It would be best if I could make the most of my strengths..."
Lin Yuan called out the system, entered the music library, and began looking for a suitable option.
And time passed slowly as Lin Yuan continued to consider and choose songs.
As the entire internet discusses "King of Masked Singer", everyone's enthusiasm is growing day by day!
The day of the competition is approaching...

ps: Thanks to Lanlan Xiaojiuquan for becoming the 33rd leader of this book. ▄█?█● kneels down to him. Although I often repay and update, the debt in this little notebook has only increased and not decreased. I bought a new keyboard with Taobao and am waiting to update for the leaders. Now one of the keys on my keyboard is not working, and I have to rely on technical means to make up for it, so I write very slowly.
