On the evening of the 23rd, Wang Xuan returned to Jinling smoothly and came to the hotel specially reserved for him by the "King of Masked Singer" program team.
Early the next morning, he also successfully received the mask and clothes customized for him by the "King of Masked Singer" program team. His mask is a white tiger, and his clothes are a white tiger-striped suit matching the white tiger mask, which can package all the easily identifiable features of his body.
To put it bluntly, as long as he puts on this set of equipment, even if Wang Xuan stands in front of his mother, his mother will not recognize him.
"The King of Masked Singer" has three major parts, one is the competition, the other is the judges' comments, and the third is the jury's guessing.
The competition is naturally about players competing against each other, the comments are about the judges commenting on the players' performance in the game, and the guessing is about the judges guessing the identity of the players.
The masks and clothes are actually just for guessing the riddles. Guessing the identity of the contestants is a very important selling point of "The King of Masked Singer". The audience's expectations are very high. Every time the guess is made, there will be a large discussion on the Internet, which also makes the show more and more popular.
The purpose of masks and clothes is to cover the relatively easily identifiable features of the players and make them difficult to identify. Otherwise, others can tell who is who at a glance, so what else is there to look forward to?
Along with the masks and clothes came Zhang Zheng, the head of the "King of Masked Singer" program review team.
Generally speaking, the assistants assigned to the contestants by the program team are responsible for picking up the contestants. However, Wang Xuan's identity is a bit special, which would inevitably leak the secret, so Zhang Zheng had to do it himself.
"Teacher Wang Xuan, please try to see if the size of this suit of clothes fits you first. If it doesn't fit, I have prepared several sets of sizes." Zhang Zheng said.
"If it is customized according to the size I reported, it should be fine." Even so, Wang Xuan still went to try it on.
After Wang Xuan came out, Zhang Zheng's eyes lit up. This white tiger suit, which was a bit cute in itself, had a unique charm when worn on Wang Xuan. Sure enough, the handsome guy looks handsome in anything he wears!
"The size is just right." Wang Xuan said.
Zhang Zheng nodded: "Teacher Wang Xuan, to avoid revealing your identity, you may need to wear this suit directly to the program group. The same goes for other contestants. Our program is a bit special, I think you should know about it."
"no problem."
Wang Xuan responded, and then took the "King of Masked Singer" special car with Zhang Zheng to the program recording site.
When Wang Xuan arrived at the scene, seven other contestants had already arrived, three men and four women, and Wang Xuan happened to be evenly split between men and women.
The three men wore Qinglong mask, Xuanwu mask and Erha mask respectively. The four ladies wore peacock masks, phoenix masks, redbird masks, and qingluan masks.
Adding Wang Xuan, good guys, the four ancient mythical beasts and the three immortal birds are now complete.
Erha seems a bit different.
"Shivering, shivering, are the four great beasts and the three immortal birds still alive? Is it too late for me to withdraw from the competition? Or I can sacrifice the dog's head to save my life." A voice from under Erha's mask came from Naimengnaomeng. His voice, paired with his mask, is simply...
"Okay, if you call me brother now, I will allow you to withdraw from the competition." A funny voice came from under the Qinglong mask.
"It's okay to call me big sister. I will protect you from now on." A very neutral voice came from under the Suzaku mask.
Others smiled and said nothing.
"Bah! Don't even think about taking advantage of me. My seniority in the entertainment industry scares you to death. It's okay for you to call me eldest brother," Erha said.
"Believe me, you are definitely not as senior as me in the entertainment industry. Call me big brother and you won't suffer. I will protect you from now on," Qinglong said.
"Believe me, you are definitely not as senior as me in the entertainment industry. You won't suffer any loss if you call me eldest sister. From now on, you can enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food with me. It just so happens that I have always wanted to have a son." Suzaku also said.
"Woooooo! It's too bullying, it's too bullying. Director, I protest, why are their masks either the four divine beasts or the three fairy birds, but mine is actually an Erha!!" Erha said.
"Didn't you design this yourself? The program team originally prepared a fox mask for you, but you said you didn't want it."
"Then definitely not! Aren't fox masks worn by women? Can real men wear them?" Erha said.
"So a real man has to wear a pair of hats?" Wang Xuan interjected.
"Pfft!" This sentence directly broke Erha's guard, "Here comes another bully. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"But when I speak, no one treats me as a mute." Wang Xuan said with a smile.
"..." Erha couldn't refute, and was defeated by Wang Xuan in a few words. He died!
Wang Xuan's words also attracted the attention of several other players. Suzaku looked at Wang Xuan: "Baihu, we have introduced ourselves before you came, but we are missing you. Please introduce yourself quickly. Who are you?"
"Come on, you are just being vague with this, but you can't fool me. If you have the ability, would you like to introduce yourself now?" Wang Xuan said with a smile.
"Wait a minute! Why do your words sound like a curse? What do you mean by Erha? What's wrong with Erha? Has Erha offended you? Erha has to be ridiculed if his IQ is not online? Be careful of Erha tearing you down. Home!" A voice of protest came from under Erha's mask.
"You also know that Erha's IQ is not online? Then what do you think of designing the Erha mask yourself? Is it a metaphor for yourself?" Wang Xuan asked again.
"..." Erha was in a confrontation again, pawn!
"Don't worry about it, let's continue. Don't you want me to introduce myself? Okay, then I will introduce myself solemnly. I am twenty-eight years old, and I am actually a fashion designer and part-time singer. What about you?" said Suzaku.
"Me, I am eighteen years old, but in fact I am a writer and have never sung." Wang Xuan said.
"...Are you kidding me? I'm telling the truth."
"What I said is also true."
"...Forget it! If you don't want to say it, forget it. It's not interesting at all." Suzaku said, not believing Wang Xuan's words.
Others did not believe what Wang Xuan said. "The King of Masked Singer" has requirements for contestants. Can a writer who has never sung be on the King of Masked Singer? You're kidding me! And it’s eighteen years old, are you serious?
"Hey, the world is getting worse. Why can't anyone believe the truth?" Wang Xuan sighed. He really didn't tell lies. Internet writers should be considered writers, right? It is true that he never officially sang a song in Blue Star.
"Bai Hu, what you said sounds like you deserve a beating. Be careful, don't let me run into you in the ring, otherwise I won't be merciful," Xuanwu said.
"The white tiger deserves a beating and will not show mercy plus one!" Then, Qinglong, Suzaku, Phoenix, Peacock, and Qingluan all repeated this sentence like repeaters.
"White Tiger deserves a beating and won't be merciful!" Erha also said the same thing.
"Why do I feel that something weird has been mixed in? No matter, seeing how you all want to beat me up, I have a message for you. Don't be in a group with me, otherwise it's not clear who will beat whom. ." Wang Xuan said, and then turned to the camera, "Hey, director, have you had enough of greetings? Stop filming. Shouldn't we draw lots and divide them into groups?"
After the first contestant joined the program team, the recording of "The King of Masked Singer" has actually begun, but the recordings now are only behind-the-scenes, used to promote the program before it is broadcast.
The director was obviously very satisfied with this episode after Wang Xuan came to the show. If Wang Xuan hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have stopped. He had a hunch that after this episode was broadcast, it would definitely attract a lot of people.
For example, the part where Erha laughs at himself and trembles when he is sandwiched among the four mythical beasts and three immortal birds. For example, the part where Bai Hu starts playing Erha, and the part where Suzaku and Bai Hu open their mouths and tell lies... These parts have a strong variety show effect.
After Wang Xuan’s reminder, the show started the lottery ceremony.
Wang Xuan got the 4th pick and came out in fourth place. After drawing lots, the contestants went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
Well, actually, I am going back to prepare the songs for the PK. The official program will not start recording until tomorrow. The main task today is to draw lots to decide the order of appearance and opponents.
