Han Qi gave The Clown a call.
"Teacher Clown!"
"Hello."
"We've won! We've won! "
"Yeah, I saw it."
"You're amazing! That song of yours was amazing! I never expected that they would really concede! "
"It's not my credit. It was the collective effort of the entire music industry this time."
"But it was your song that awakened the music industry!"
"How could I be that amazing?"
"But you're just that amazing!"
The guillotine hanging over the heads of the music industry had finally disappeared. The music industry cheered, jumped, and celebrated. They had won, or rather, their dignity had won. Music had won!
The netizens gave countless comments.
"We've won!"
"The higher-ups are still very open-minded!"
"I have a feeling that 'The Internationale' will definitely become a legend!"
"With this story behind it, this song has already become a legend. Have you ever seen a piece of music that has such great appeal and influence?"
"A legendary song, a legendary person!"
"But who exactly is The Clown?"
"Hurry up and take off your mask. I'm dying of anxiety!"
"When will the finals of King of Masked Singers start?"
"Yeah, I'm getting anxious too. The Masked King is usually between Petal Shower, Sunset Glow, and The Clown. Every episode, it's always them vying for the spot. The other rookies who fill in the spots are no longer a match for them. I think it should be the finals soon, right?"
"Who are you looking forward to taking off your mask the most?"
"The Clown!"
"Damn, it's definitely going to be The Clown!"
"Yeah, his identity is the most mysterious. No one can guess who it is!"
On the same night.
The King of Masked Singers program team suddenly announced that the next episode would be entering the revival round. Regardless of whether it was the starting singers or the replacement singers, as long as they had not been crowned the Masked King before, they would enter the revival round. In other words, even those who were still onstage and had not been crowned the Masked King before would have to compete with the other eliminated contestants for the live broadcast of the finals. In the previous five episodes, The Clown had crowned the Masked King three times, Petal Shower one, and Sunset Glow another. This meant that only the three of them could advance straight to the grand finals.
...
The program team contacted Spinach on the phone.
"Teacher Spinach, the revival round is about to begin."
"OK."
"Please get ready."
"I can't wait."
...
"Teacher Marshal Persona."
"Hello."
"Next week is the revival match's recording."
"Okay, I got it."
…
"Teacher King of Oddity."
"It's starting?"
"Yes, we'll start recording next week."
"Alright, how many tickets are there for the finals?"
"Other than The Clown, Petal Shower, and the other two, there are still three spots left."
"Understood."
…
Many of the eliminated singers received the news. Some of them were looking forward to it, some were nervous, and some were worried. But without exception, after receiving the news, they hung up the phone and began to prepare for next week's competition. This was their last chance, and they all wanted to grasp it!
Zhang Ye also received a call.
However, the content of the call was different.
Hu Fei said, "Teacher Clown, the matter has been resolved. First of all, thank you for your contribution to the show. If it weren't for you, the alarm would not have been lifted. If that had happened, the grand finals would have been meaningless!"
The Clown: "No need to thank me, I didn't do much."
Hu Fei: "Next week is the revival match, and the week after that is the finals."
He was calling The Clown on his cell phone. When Zhang Ye spoke, he had deliberately changed the location of his voice. He said, "So soon?"
Hu Fei: "Originally, we were going to record six or seven episodes, but the gap between the contestants was too great. There weren't any contestants who were strong enough to fill in the spots, so the production team held a meeting and decided not to fill in any new contestants. As such, the grand finals will be brought forward."
The Clown: "OK."
Hu Fei: "You don't have to prepare for the revival match. I'm mainly here to talk about the matters related to the grand finals. This time, the grand finals will be broadcast live nationwide, and the venue will be changed to a bigger one. The voting for the grand finals will also be changed to a national vote, which means that all the viewers in front of their televisions will be able to participate. Also, the grand finals will be split into two rounds. The second round will be the individual competition, but for the first round, we've designed a segment where we'll get guests to sing alongside each other. The contestants can get their friends to come over to the venue to help out and get them to put on a mask and sing to each other. This is quite important, because if the guest is not suitable, they might not be able to advance to the second round of the grand finals and might even get eliminated early. So we have to prepare well for this. It's best if we can get a professional singer.
This was Hu Fei's decision.
For example, in his previous world's version of King of Masked Singers, the contestants would form teams of two and compete against each other. However, Zhang Ye did not know if such a setup would look good, so he added a setup similar to that of I Am a Singer's grand finals and left it to Hu Fei to decide. Clearly, Hu Fei had chosen the latter. This was pretty good too. It would increase the enjoyment and anticipation of the grand finals.
The Clown: "OK."
Hu Fei: "Do you have any more questions? I can answer all of them here. "
The Clown asked: "Are there any restrictions on the songs?"
Hu Fei: "There's basically no restrictions. You can sing as much as you want."
The Clown asked again: "For the guest singing segment, can we not invite others to sing by ourselves?"
Hu Fei: "Can you sing by yourself?"
"Can I?"
Hu Fei shook his head: "That's definitely not possible, because the rules have already been set. You can invite one or two people, but there has to be a duet segment."
The Clown: "Alright, understood."
"Alright then, we'll be counting on you for the grand finals."
"OK, I'll prepare well for it."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye felt a headache coming on.
Celebrity guest singers?
If he did not perform well, he might get eliminated in the first round? And he wouldn't be able to participate in the final battle for the Masked King? This was going to be a little troublesome. His problem was that he did not want to inform anyone of his identity in advance. If no one knew who he was, how was he going to invite others? Who could he invite?
He did not have many connections in the entertainment industry and only knew a few people. Those who could sing were even fewer. Zhang Xia? She was even a guessing panel guest, and so was Chen Guang. There was no way he could invite her. Fan Wenli? It was even more impossible for Old Fan! Xiaodong? Xiaodong would probably end up as a guest guest singer for someone else.
Who could he find?
Someone he was friends with?
And someone who could sing well?
And someone with a big name?
There were no candidates!
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like none of the people he knew could do it!
Zhang Ye lit a cigarette and thought for a long time, but still could not come up with a solution. This guest guest singer was too important. It directly affected whether or not the contestant could become the Masked King, so he had to be very, very careful! Hai, if he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have included this idea in the proposal. He had shot himself in the foot.
There were only two weeks left!
What should he do?
