After advancing, Wang Xuan actually had nothing to do in the first round.
Different from the Earth version of "The King of Masked Singer", China's "King of Masked Singer" has more contestants, so one episode lasts for a month. In the first round, the eight contestants were divided into four groups and faced off in pairs. Four contestants were selected to advance. The four contestants entered the seats to be determined and waited for the knockout rounds in the third round.
In the second round, the four players who advanced in the first round will face off in pairs. Note that the pairwise duel here is not divided into two groups, but each player has to compete with the other three players. The winner gets 1 point and the loser gets 0 points. The top two points will enter the finals and compete for the King of Songs. Battle. This is to be more fair. If there was still a chance of advancement in the first round, then in the second round we have to show real strength and there is no chance of a fluke.
As for the contenders for the singing title in the third round, the two contestants will sing three songs. The winner of two out of three matches will win the singing title. There is also no chance of fluke.
The knockout round is a bit simpler. The four contestants who have yet to be reserved will first compete in groups. The two winners will advance to the next phase of the King of Singer Competition. The two losers will continue to PK, and the loser will be eliminated. Since only one contestant is eliminated in each episode of "The King of Masked Singer", the eliminated person's face must be revealed.
Anyway, after Wang Xuan was promoted, he had nothing to do on set. He just had to wait until the program team notified him to come over and record the second round. The second round will be at least next week. However, nothing happened, and Wang Xuan was still there to watch the remaining four players compete.
All very strong.
Each and every one of them sings very well.
Wang Xuan even doubted whether he had won the lottery, otherwise why he met so many capable contestants when he participated in "The King of Masked Singer" for the first time. Obviously there were not many strong contestants in the first two seasons of "The King of Masked Singer". There were only three or two second-tier players and one old and outdated first-tier player.
But what about this session? Good guy, Wang Xuan feels that there are at least three first-line singers in it, and they are still in their prime.
But that’s fine too. The stronger the opponent, the more gold the singer has.
The first round of program recording has been completed
The last two players to advance are Suzaku and Qinglong.
Perhaps they learned from the lessons of Phoenix and Xuanwu. The subsequent contestants no longer chose folk songs, but instead chose pop songs, and fought with real guns. The promotion of Zhuque and Qinglong is purely due to their stronger strength than Qingluan and Peacock. At least in terms of strength shown during PK, Suzaku and Qinglong are stronger. As for whether Qingluan and Peacock have hidden strength, it is unknown.
After the program was finished, the contestants went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
Wang Xuan returned to the hotel and returned to the Magic City the next day.
It is now the 26th, which is close to National Day. Although Wang Xuan did not intend to interfere with the operation of his parents' hot pot restaurant, he still planned to go home a few days in advance to help arrange a meal, otherwise he would always be worried.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuan called Li Tao.
"Brother Xuan, are you back from the capital?" Li Tao answered the phone and asked first.
"I just returned to Shanghai. Brother Tao, is there anything going on at the company recently? If nothing happens, I plan to go home a few days early. I think you also know that my hot pot restaurant will open on National Day." Wang Xuan said.
"It's okay. What can happen? The biggest thing recently is that my uncle and aunt's hot pot restaurant has opened. Brother Xuan, don't worry. Cai Qin and I have already made arrangements. You will definitely not lose your prestige when the time comes."
"It's not that bad, the company doesn't have any singers planning to release a song during the National Day?"
"Yes. But they are all newcomers. The company has been in the limelight enough recently, and Liu Kai can also perform at the National Day Gala, so the company does not plan to compete with others for the new song list in October."
"It is still necessary to properly hide one's strength and bide one's time."
"Yes. We all think so. And compared with Brother Xuan's two songs being selected as National Day theme songs, what is October's new song list? When the National Day theme song comes out, hey, I'll wait and see Their eyes popped out."
"It's not that exaggerated." Wang Xuan said with a smile, "Brother Tao, then I will go home early."
"Go back."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xuan just wanted to book a flight for the next day. But plans often fail to keep up with changes, and Wang Gui called.
"Teacher Wang Xuan, am I not disturbing you?"
"Brother Wang, tell me if you have something to say."
"It's like this. After measuring the entire National Day celebration theme song, the National Day Organizing Committee found that one song is relatively old. Let's put it this way, as you probably know, after 70 years of development, our country is now very powerful. , the world's second largest economy and the third largest military power. And that song was composed when the People's Republic of China was founded. It seemed a bit conservative to use it at the 70th anniversary National Day celebration of our country, so the National Day Organizing Committee wanted to replace it with Lose."
"I understand what you mean. Which part of the song is it?"
"The first stage of the mass march."
"Is this the first part of the parade?" A song came to Wang Xuan's mind immediately. It is a song that is very suitable for this part. If it is paired with lyrics, it is also very suitable for the ending of the mass parade.
"Yeah. I'm a little pressed for time. The organizing committee doesn't want to solicit from outsiders. I just want to ask if you have any suitable music. It doesn't matter if you don't. Although the previous music was a bit old, it doesn't mean it can't be used. This time It’s probably an oversight on our part, and we only discovered it today,” Wang Gui said.
"It's okay, I already have some ideas in my mind. I'll try it tonight and I'll give you an answer tomorrow at most." Wang Xuan said. In fact, he already has the music, but he just doesn't want to appear too different.
"Okay. I'm sorry to trouble you," Wang Gui said.
"You're welcome. It's my honor." Wang Xuan said. After hanging up the phone, he started writing a song, and the title of the song on the score was "Singing the Motherland".
"Singing the Motherland" is definitely a nuclear bomb-level song, at least among patriotic songs. When Li Tao told Wang Xuan that the National Day Organizing Committee had invited him to have a National Day theme song, this song was actually the first thing that came to Wang Xuan's mind. It’s just that I later discovered that China already had a similar track, so this song couldn’t be inserted.
The song Wang Gui mentioned is called "The Five-Starred Red Flag Stands in the East". Although it is a bit old, it is actually very defiant. The song contains rebirth, struggle, unyielding, longing, and contempt for the great powers.
If the National Day Organizing Committee hadn't taken the initiative to change it, to be honest, it would have been difficult for "Singing the Motherland" to be inserted.
This does not mean that Wang Xuan will be rejected if he submits "Ode to the Motherland". On the contrary, it will almost 100% be selected. It’s just that if the National Day Organizing Committee didn’t have the idea of changing the theme song for the first part of the mass demonstration, there is a high probability that this song will be used elsewhere. In other places, Wang Xuan always felt that it was not so perfect.
Because the song "Singing the Motherland" has a special and sacred status in Wang Xuan's heart, its first appearance must be used as a ceremonial song, opening song or closing song for major national events, otherwise Wang Xuan would rather not compose it. .
