After Wang Xuan quit "The King of Masked Singer", excluding the New Year's month, "The King of Masked Singer" was held for a total of four periods, and four singing kings were born, namely Qinglong, Enchantress, Erha, and Black Swan.
Two queens, one singer, and Erha, these are the four contestants who have entered the finals of "The King of Masked Singer".
In fact, normally, there are 7 regular seasons of "The King of Masked Singer", and there should be seven contestants entering the finals. However, since the King of Singer was defended by Bai Hu in the first three episodes, and Bai Hu withdrew from "The King of Masked Singer" midway, there were only four contestants who entered the finals.
There were a total of 12 eliminated singers, but when Zhang Zheng contacted these eliminated singers, some said that they could not spare the time to participate in the revival competition.
Some expressed that they did not want to participate, because this stage is a fight between gods, and being abused once is enough, and they do not want to go back and be abused again.
For example, Gigi Lai and Li Yueru have no plans to participate in the resurrection match.
In the end, only 6 players decided to participate in the resurrection match. They are Bull Demon King Xie Xun, Qiangweizhizhi, Xuanwu Huge, Sun Siya, Ding Wei and Ye Xinghua.
Sun Siya, Ding Wei, and Ye Xinghua all participated in "The King of Masked Singer" after Baihu quit "The King of Masked Singer". They all performed very well on the stage, but their opponents also performed very well. In the end, they all ended up with tiny The disadvantages were eliminated.
Therefore, they are very unwilling. They have been looking forward to this Easter match for a long time and plan to take revenge in the Easter match.
Including Wang Xuan, there are seven players participating in the resurrection competition. So Zhang Zheng and Su Yichang decided to choose three replacement singers. Yu Hao, Lin Jun, Yang Cyndi... were selected.
Yes, diva Cyndi Yang also signed up for the "King of Masked Singer" revival competition.
Yu Hao, Lin Jun, Cyndi Yang, two singing kings and one diva, plus Xie Xun, Qiangwei Zhizhi, Xuanwu Huge, Sun Siya, Ding Wei, Ye Xinghua, 6 first-line singers, plus the big devil Wang Xuan, this lineup is really strong Invincible, not inferior to the lineup in the finals.
What kind of sparks will they create? Zhang Zheng and Su Yichang are really looking forward to this.
...
On the 6th, a big thing happened in the entertainment industry. The contract between Iron Lung Singer Lin Zhixiang and Huayi expired. Huayi did not choose to renew Lin Zhixiang's contract. In other words, Huayi gave Lin Zhixiang an extraordinary offer. Prices without sincerity are very harmful and insulting. Therefore, the Iron Lung Singer will naturally not choose to renew his contract with Huayi.
Lin Zhixiang officially resumed his free agency. This incident caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry.
The industry is discussing it, and so are the melon-eating masses.
"Lin Zhixiang is free again. Does everyone know about this?"
"I must know. I also know that the contract renewal price offered by Huayi to Lin Zhixiang is very low, and the annual salary is only 5 million."
"Five million? I'll go! Isn't this insulting? Lin Zhixiang is the king of singers! An endorsement and a commercial performance are more than that, right?"
"No! In fact, although Lin Zhixiang is the king of singers, he has passed away. Now there are almost no businesses looking for him for endorsements and commercial performances. Even if they ask him for endorsements and commercial performances, the price is very low, far incomparable with other singers."
"Yes, I heard that the endorsement prices offered by businesses to Lin Zhixiang are not comparable to the endorsement prices of third-tier celebrities."
"Okay! No wonder Huayi doesn't want to renew Lin Zhixiang's contract."
"But I think the Iron Lung Singer still sings beautifully. Time has not left any trace on his voice at all."
"What's the use? What's the use of singing well? Lin Zhixiang is old. This is a fact. He is outdated. This is a fact. No one can change the fact. His popularity and value are incomparable with young stars. The entertainment industry is very realistic, with the weak eating the strong and the survival of the fittest. Obviously, it is difficult for Lin Zhixiang to survive in the entertainment industry now and he will be eliminated."
"It's a pity. I think back then, Lin Zhixiang's popularity was the first among the kings of singers. At his peak, even the kings had to avoid his influence and held a concert. Most of the big-name stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry came to the audience. Who would have thought that they would be treated like this when they are old?"
"No, Huayi clearly refuses to give Lin Zhixiang a pension contract. It's so heartless."
"It's normal to be ruthless. The entertainment industry is controlled by capital. Which capital is not ruthless?"
...
In this wave of discussions, topics such as [Lin Zhixiang regained his freedom], [Lin Zhixiang encountered a humiliating offer from Huayi], [Lin Zhixiang is old and outdated] and other topics became more and more popular, and soon rushed to the top of the hot search list five.
In fact, not only the general public thinks that Lin Zhixiang is old, but almost the entire entertainment industry also thinks that Lin Zhixiang is old. Therefore, after Lin Zhixiang's contract with Huayi expired and he returned to free agency, few people paid attention to him.
A few entertainment companies contacted Lin Zhixiang's agent and made quotations, but the quotations were very low, only slightly higher than Huayi. With such an offer, it is naturally impossible for Lin Zhixiang to sign the same contract.
"So am I really old? Am I really outdated?" Lin Zhixiang murmured, even he doubted himself a little. However, he clearly felt that he was still at his peak.
His voice is still at its peak.
His singing skills are still at their peak.
Except for the fact that his appearance is incomparable to that of his youth, everything about him is at its peak.
Why is he so angry?
Lin Zhixiang really felt that he could still sing for many years, but he was eliminated by the market. He roughly knows the reason. In recent years, Huayi has refused to allocate resources and has not even released a few songs for him. So his popularity slowly disappeared.
The loss of popularity made him less and less valuable in the eyes of merchants. Fewer and fewer merchants were willing to seek endorsements from him, and the endorsement prices he offered were getting lower and lower. Then Huayi felt that he was outdated, let alone Willing to tilt resources....
This is a vicious cycle, and over time, it has led to the current situation.
No solution!
Even if he knew the reason, he was still facing an unsolvable situation. As long as no entertainment company signs a contract with him and no company is willing to support him, it will be useless no matter how good he sings.
"Brother Xiang, it's okay. If no one is willing to sign with us, the worst we can do is open a studio by ourselves. With Brother Xiang's singing skills, the studio will definitely be prosperous." The manager said from the side.
Lin Zhixiang shook his head.
Open a studio?
Stop making trouble!
It was definitely possible for him to open a studio when he was young, because he was young at that time and needed to be talented, good-looking, and good at singing. If he opened a studio, he would have many fans to support him, and many businesses would come to him. cooperate.
But now, he is no longer a young star. Although his image is not crotch-stretching, he has no advantage at all compared with young stars. The only thing he can show off is his singing skills, but what the merchants value is not his singing skills, but his singing skills. is commercial value. As it happens, his commercial value has dropped to freezing point, so if he opens a studio, it will be a dead end.
The entertainment industry is a capital world, and there is no way out if you work alone. How could he not understand this truth after being in the entertainment industry for many years? His agent must have understood very well and was just trying to comfort him.
Can he just retire?
Regarding retirement, Lin Zhixiang has actually considered it and has been mentally prepared. But why are you still a little unwilling? Mainly, he really feels that he is still at his peak now.
At this moment, the agent's phone rang. The manager answered the phone, and a very young voice came from the other side, as gentle as jade: "Hello, are you Sister Ting, Lin Zhixiang's manager?"
"I am Meng Ting, who are you?"
"I am Wang Xuan."
"Wang Xuan?" Mengting was stunned. She had certainly heard of the name Wang Xuan, and it could even be heard like thunder, but she still wasn't sure in her heart. "Are you Teacher Wang Xuan from Tianhai Entertainment?"
"Yes."
After receiving Wang Xuan's affirmative answer, even though Mengting had been in the entertainment industry for many years, she couldn't help but feel short of breath.
Even Iron Lung singer Lin Zhixiang was shocked.
That's Wang Xuan. His identity as the boss of Tianhai is secondary. He is the top songwriter among top songwriters. This is the most important thing. Which top songwriter in the entertainment industry is as sharp as Wang Xuansheng?
In the world of composition, it would be no exaggeration to say that Wang Xuan is a god-like existence. Question: What does Wang Xuan want from them? Does Tianhai intend to sign him? If this is true, the problem that has troubled him for a long time will be solved.
Meng Ting obviously understands this truth. With Wang Xuan here, Brother Xiang will definitely be able to regain his second youth. Those who look down on Brother Xiang will definitely regret it. In Meng Ting's eyes, Lin Zhixiang has always been at the top.
This is why she resigned from Huayi and followed Lin Zhixiang.
"Hello, Teacher Wang Xuan, may I ask if you have any questions for me?"
"That's it. I heard that Brother Xiang's contract with Huayi has expired and he is free now, right? Brother Xiang hasn't signed with another company yet, right?" Wang Xuan said.
Sure enough, Meng Ting was overjoyed.
"Brother Xiang hasn't signed a contract with another company yet. Several entertainment companies have offered Brother Xiang contracts, but the prices are not high. They all say that Brother Xiang is outdated and is only worth this price." Meng Ting Dao said, and he didn't pretend to be with Wang Xuan, because Wang Xuan must understand the situation Lin Zhixiang is facing.
"Nonsense, Brother Xiang has passed away? That's just because they are blind. Brother Xiang is next to you, right? I want to say a few words to Brother Xiang, is that okay?"
"Okay." Meng Ting said, giving the phone to Lin Zhixiang.
"Hello, Teacher Wang Xuan, I am Lin Zhixiang."
"Hello Brother Xiang, you don't have to be polite to me. I grew up listening to your songs. Brother Xiang, I won't beat around the bush with you. Come to Tianhai. Tianhai is in need of a big brother like you to be the front man."
"Ah? As a facade, can I still do it now?"
"It's necessary. If you can't do it, who can? Who in the entertainment industry is more qualified than you?"
"But they all said I was too old."
"That's because they are blind. Brother Xiang, let me ask you, can you still sing now? How many more years do you think you can sing?"
"I can sing. I don't know how many years I can sing, but I feel it should be fine before the age of 60."
"That's enough. Come to Tianhai, I have a few songs that are very suitable for you." Wang Xuan said.
When Lin Zhixiang heard this, he really felt Wang Xuan's sincerity. He even prepared a song suitable for him.
To be honest, he is very willing to join Tianhai, and he is also willing to join Tianhai for Wang Xuan. But originally he was definitely going to ask about the benefits of signing a contract with Tianhai, but now, because of Wang Xuan's sincerity, he decided not to ask.
At worst, the salary will be lower. Anyway, he has actually made a lot of money. He is really not short of money, but he is not willing to quit the entertainment industry like this.
"Teacher Wang Xuan, I am very willing to sign a contract with Tianhai, but I have something to do these days, so I may have to wait until the 15th to sign the contract." Lin Zhixiang said.
"No problem, then I will wait for Brother Xiang at the gate of Tianhai."
...
On the 9th, all contestants participating in the revival competition came to the "King of Masked Singer" to meet. For the sake of fairness, except for Wang Xuan who has not yet been exposed, Xie Xun and others must change their equipment.
There are 10 contestants, 4 women and 6 men. The four women wear masks of orchid, white lotus, tulip, and peony. The 6 men wear masks of Lanling King, Star Reacher, Pixiu, Monkey King, and Haotian. The Great Emperor, plus White Tiger.
When Wang Xuan arrived, others had already arrived. While checking each other’s bottoms and complimenting each other, we were also guessing who the last singer would be.
When Wang Xuan showed up, several people were dumbfounded.
"I++, the last contestant is White Tiger?" Star Reacher scolded her directly.
"I knew that the character who dared to appear in the finale was definitely not simple, but I still didn't expect that it was the White Tiger boss. Is there any way for us to survive this time?" Pixiu said.
"Barbie is Q!" said Tulip.
"Director, director, is it too late for me to withdraw from the resurrection competition? I can't compete with the white tiger boss on the same stage," Mudan said.
"The big devil is back, Orchid and I are trembling."
"Bai Lian, I'm shivering too."
"Thankfully, I specially chose the Emperor Haotian. I imagined that I would be able to overwhelm the whole world. Now that the White Tiger is here, I can still overwhelm the whole world!" Emperor Haotian said.
"Damn it, if I had known that Big White Tiger was participating in the Easter Tournament, I would never have come back. Isn't this asking for abuse?" said the Star Reaching Monster.
"I asked you, can you be a little successful? What happened to the white tiger? The white tiger is not a human being? As for the fact that you are scared when you see it?" King Lanling said.
"That's right. After all, you are also big-name singers above the first-tier level. There is no need to be so timid, right? Let me tell you, it would be better for Bai Hu to participate in the resurrection competition. We are fighting against Bai Hu." said the Great Sage Qitian.
"Tsk, you don't understand." said the Star Picker.
"I see, the two of them have never experienced the fear of being dominated by the White Tiger boss." Bai Lian said.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." Pixiu said.
"The last Bull Demon King who said this is now trembling in the crowd." Lan Lianhua said.
"There is also Yama. Although he has not been eliminated, he has not won the first phase of Singing King yet." Tulip said.
"Don't blame me for not warning you. The harder you talk, the harder you'll get when the time comes." said the Star Picker.
"Tch! You are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him." King Lanling said disdainfully.
"I'm not afraid either. What's wrong with the white tiger? What's wrong with it?" said the Monkey King.
"Yes, I have nothing to be afraid of. Don't be misled by them." Wang Xuan said.
"It's over. Let's observe a few seconds of silence for Prince Lanling and Monkey King. They have been targeted by the White Tiger."
"I hope the two of them meet the white tiger, otherwise they will definitely be in tragedy."
"The current mechanism of the problem is that everyone competes at the same time, and the top six players with the highest votes advance to the second round. In other words, they provoked the White Tiger, and in the end we have to bear the beating."
"I'll go! Why? Why did they provoke Bai Hu, and in the end we have to bear the beating?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you love me, I'm already lying down anyway."
"I'm lying down too. Since I can't resist, let's lie down."
"puff!"
...
The director was having fun while filming this footage. Since Bai Hu quit "The King of Masked Singer", the contestants' meet-and-greets have not been so lively for a long time.
There are many jokes about lying flat, but of course, it can also be regarded as the true inner reaction of many players.
The White Tiger is so powerful. Only by experiencing it personally can you understand how powerful the White Tiger is on this stage. Competing with Bai Hu on the same stage, they really have no confidence.
Fortunately, there are two places for the Easter Tournament, otherwise many people would have wanted to go home.
After the meeting, the players began to draw lots.
As a result of the lottery, Wang Xuan drew No. 4. By coincidence, the No. 3 in front of him happened to be King Lanling, the No. 5 behind him was the Monkey King, the No. 1 was Peony, the No. 2 was the Star Picker, and the No. 6 was White Lotus, No. 7 is Pixiu, No. 8 is Orchid, No. 9 is Emperor Haotian, and No. 10 is Tulip.
After the draw, the singers also picked the band they wanted to work with. Wang Xuan still chose the band he had worked with before, the original Tianhai band, which has now been sold to Guangguang.
After the band was selected, there were 2 days of rehearsal time, and the recording of the program started on the 12th.
After two days of rehearsals, the 12th came.
"Perhaps you were once shining brightly, perhaps you were once the most beautiful person in the world. Wherever you go, you are the focus of attention... Welcome to Suning Satellite TV HiHi Music Show, "Mask" aired exclusively by Golden Leaf Fresh Mask "The King of Singer" revival competition, I am your host, Li Hao." After everything was ready, along with the opening words, Li Hao, the queen host of "The King of Masked Singer", appeared on the stage.
