What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 513: The identity of the redeemer is revealed, and the popularity of 'The Masked Singer' explodes
Chapter 513: The identity of the redeemer is revealed, and the popularity of 'The Masked Singer' explodes
"It's actually Zuo Fei?"
"Who is this? Why don't I recognize him?"
"Zuo Fei, the once famous music genius, didn't expect that he would be the savior after disappearing for so long?"
...
A face that didn't look too young, and even looked a bit like an uncle because he had deliberately grown a beard, appeared in front of everyone.
Obviously, few people guessed that the savior was Zuo Fei.
He once gained a lot of fans with his high-quality original music and his young and handsome appearance.
But then due to problems with the reputation, it gradually disappeared from public view.
Appearing as a savior this time was obviously something that many people did not expect.
And although a few years is not a long time, for an artist, if he has not been exposed for such a long time, his popularity will drop very quickly.
For example, some viewers watching the show now don't even know this person.
Back then, Zuo Fei was regarded as a singer with a lot of fans among first-line singers. Coupled with his talent in songwriting, netizens and fans had high expectations for him.
But no one had ever thought that Zuo Fei would fade out of the public eye in the future, and even be in a state of semi-retirement.
It's no wonder that many people have never associated Zuo Fei with the Redeemer.
His own music style has indeed undergone a big change.
...
Xiong Lu actually guessed that it might be Zuo Fei before, mainly because she didn't have much impression of this former music genius.
Zuo Fei's popularity only lasted for a few years, and then it really seemed like he had completely disappeared.
Coupled with the change in style, if Xiong Lu hadn't discovered that some of Zuo Fei's previous lyrics-writing habits had not changed, he would never have thought that the savior would be Zuo Fei.
Of course, as of now, there is no need to continue guessing.
Now that the identity of the redeemer has arrived, it can be regarded as having a final result.
Although it can be seen that his current popularity is far less than what it was back then.
Many people are not even able to recognize or remember such a person.
After all, stars and artists in the entertainment industry are changing with each passing day, and newcomers are emerging one after another.
There are a lot of people who have passed away and disappeared. Zuo Fei said he was a musical genius, but he is not much different from some so-called fresh meat with low traffic.
The treatment after becoming famous is actually not much different.
It’s just that Zuo Fei is still a singer who relies on his own talent to make a living after all, so his disappearance in these years, if it weren’t for external factors such as contracts, would most likely have been his own decision.
...
At this time, Zuo Fei on the show stage felt a sense of relief.
"Actually, I hesitated for a long time when I joined this show."
"After all, it's been a long time since I've stood on a stage."
"But when I think about the songs I have written in the past few years, I always feel that it is a pity not to find a chance to release them."
"No matter what, I found that I still like music, so I came back."
Before, Zuo Fei had a kind of disgust for the entire entertainment industry that radiated from the inside out.
But now, it seems like he is completely relieved.
Just like how he could never calm down the negative comments directed at him, many viewers who knew who Zuo Fei was in the past felt a sense of trance at this time.
Although his name is still Zuo Fei, he has completely changed into a completely different person.
No matter what, for Zuo Fei, "The Masked Singer" should actually be regarded as the best gift for him to completely return to his identity as a singer.
At least at this time after the show was broadcast, the tens of millions of fans of his Redeemer had been completely merged into his own Weibo account.
"Although it is a bit unexpected, if it is Zuo Fei, it does seem to make sense."
"Welcome back. I remembered that I had cycled many of Zuo Fei's songs before. It's good to start over."
"Although I don't know them, I like the original songs of Redeemer on the show. I hope to hear more new songs of Redeemer or Zuo Fei in the future."
...
Regarding Zuo Fei's unmasking, it was obvious that most of the audience still had good intentions.
In the past, Zuo Fei had a lot of scandals caused by his bad temper. After so many years, not many people would really dig into it.
And many people can also see that Zuo Fei has changed a lot compared to the high-spirited young man before.
Of course, after Zuo Fei finished his so-called "elimination speech", he also mentioned it.
"Although the program team's confidentiality measures are very strict."
"But I still guessed who the contestants on the show were."
"But if you lose to him, it's quite normal."
"I'm really looking forward to everyone's surprised expressions when they see the true identity of the Faceless Man."
Zuo Fei said with a smile.
There are currently only two people entering the finals.
Yu Feifei's identity is no longer a secret.
The person the other party mentioned in his words was naturally the faceless man who defeated him in this battle.
...
"Wait a minute, don't the contestants on the show know each other's identities?"
"Damn it, when Zuo Fei said this, I became even more curious."
"No, can you just reveal some clues? What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?"
"I think I'm going to have a brain. Let's hurry up to the finals. I really don't want to guess anymore."
When Zuo Fei said these words, many people felt a little surprised.
Originally, in the eyes of many people, as contestants on the show, they should know each other's identities.
But now it seems that the program team's confidentiality measures have reached an abnormal level.
The contestants really don’t know each other’s identities, and the Faceless Man and the Redeemer have stayed together from the first issue to the present.
Of course, Zuo Fei's words are destined to become key information analyzed by many people.
After all, speculation about the identity of the Faceless Man has been going on for such a long time. Any disturbances and so-called details during this period will become the inspiration for netizens to start their brain analysis.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But most of the audience actually has no hope.
Anyway, the finals are coming soon, and the identity of the faceless man will be announced sooner or later.
There is no need to continue to dwell on this matter.
...
Although many people had already anticipated the broadcast of the semi-finals of "The Masked Singer".
But the heat is so high that it still makes people feel scary.
The combined popularity of almost all variety shows during the same period could not match the popularity of "The Masked Singer".
Within a few hours, the cumulative views exceeded 70 million.
As for the hot searches on Weibo, you can see that they are all about "The Masked Singer".
Including the elimination of Wu Xiaomin and Zuo Fei, as well as the fact that Faceless Man and Yu Feifei will decide the championship in the final.
Of course, several songs on the show also became popular.
Especially the song "Blue and White Porcelain" by the Faceless Man, after the show was aired, it directly topped the new song charts of the two major music platforms.
In the past, Chinese-style songs were not so popular.
However, almost all of them are Xu Ji's works. In fact, some of the new Chinese-style songs that followed were still not as popular as Xu Ji's songs.
And not only the popularity cannot keep up, everyone tacitly believes that the quality of these new Chinese-style songs is far inferior to Xu Ji's classics.
Xu Ji didn't take action. Although the Chinese style was still popular, it always felt like something was missing.
As for now, Faceless Man has not written many Chinese-style songs before.
Although "Chi Ling" is highly rated, most netizens still default that it cannot compare to the founder Xu Ji in this field.
But now, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" has directly pushed the popularity of Chinese style to its peak again.
Many music critics have even begun to analyze that the maturity and level of the songs in "Blue and White Porcelain" have surpassed Xu Ji's previous Chinese-style songs.
The debate over who can represent the highest level of Chinese style between Xu Ji and the Faceless Man has not stopped since the show aired.
Many people believe that the Faceless Man wrote the song "Blue and White Porcelain" and that the number of works is too small.
But it can also be seen from this point that just one song can cause such a discussion, which is enough to prove the influence of the song "Blue and White Porcelain".
...
"Faceless people, faceless people..."
"How could I forget him!"
"His importance is indeed high enough."
Phoenix Entertainment and Li Bokai also watched the semi-final program of "The Masked Singer" yesterday.
Therefore, the interest in this faceless man has greatly increased at this time, and has even reached the point where he is more interested than before.
Although he has discovered that he has begun to improve his relationship with Tongji.
But in the final analysis, Tongji actually had no intention of cooperating with them.
In other words, the current situation of Phoenix Entertainment has not changed much from before.
The market that Tongji should capture, whether it is film and television, or the influence of its singers, they will not really be soft on.
Xuji has followed a very unique path since it first founded Tongji.
It is different from some entertainment companies in the past.
It is even equivalent to having its own set of rules and operating theory.
When the three major players had the greatest influence, they were not able to hinder Tongji's development.
As for now, it's completely the other way around. The three of them still have to worry about whether they will be affected by Tongji.
The most obvious place is the current domestic film and television market. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, Tongji's golden brand has made other film and television companies obviously start to fear it.
The three major companies are no exception, not to mention that film and television are one aspect, but the development of their actors is what will be most affected by Phoenix Entertainment.
Li Bokai actually knew in his heart that the appearance of a faceless man was not enough to really be able to compete with a monster like Xu Ji.
But even if they can't achieve it, they can still let the faceless people check and balance Xu Ji's fame.
The biggest difference between Tongji Entertainment and the other three is that the boss Xu Ji has brought a great reputation bonus to Tongji company.
Otherwise, given Tongji's current scale, the company's reputation would not have risen so quickly.
It is because of Xu Ji personally that Jiang Tongji and the two bosses Xu Ji and Sha Yetong are deeply bound together.
In fact, this is a very risky thing.
After all, no matter how you say it, Xu Ji is still a well-known artist and star.
If there is an overturn in the character or other circumstances, it will definitely affect your company.
Generally speaking, even if a celebrity starts to open a company and become his own boss, it will not be so high-profile and known to so many people.
Although Xu Ji has not deliberately publicized it, the story of the development of Tongji Entertainment is indeed a bit too legendary.
I don’t know how many marketing accounts have promoted it countless times in various versions.
The most important thing is that so far, Xu Ji has really not had any outrageous black material leaked out.
The only scandal was with Sha Yetong.
Not only did netizens not feel that the character design was overturned, but they were all complaining about CP. In this regard, Li Bokai did not hold out much hope.
The only thing now is to think about how to sign the faceless man.
Although this person has always had a cold attitude towards him, Li Bokai also knew that "The Masked Singer" was about to reach the finals.
By then the identity of the Faceless Man will be revealed, and this matter should become much simpler.
...
"The singing of "Blue and White Porcelain" in the semi-finals was so good!"
"Mr. Faceless Man is indeed the number one genius in the current music scene!"
After getting the contact information of the Faceless Man last time, Li Bokai actually sent messages to him from time to time.
Of course, on the surface, there was no direct mention of him signing with Phoenix Entertainment.
But the other party probably doesn't know what he's thinking.
After all, he was just trying to leave a good impression on the faceless man.
But what made him a little depressed was that even though he was so enthusiastic, the faceless man was very cold.
It can be seen that he is obviously not very interested in Phoenix Entertainment, one of the three major companies.
However, Li Bokai is very patient. He thinks that for people who are engaged in art and creation, it is okay to have a weird temper.
It's a relatively common thing.
As long as he is sincere enough, he can still impress the other party.
...
Of course, the message he sent at this time obviously failed to get the response he expected.
Because at this time, Xu Ji was dealing with the matter of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" which had just passed review and was about to be released.
The popularity of "The Masked Singer" may be impossible for others not to pay attention to, but for Xu Ji, he really doesn't have that much time to pay attention to it.
On the one hand, he is getting used to it, but also during the period when "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is preparing to be released, he really can't take any time off.
According to Xu Ji's past habits, preparations for the next film will not start until the last film directed by the director is released.
But now he has discovered that as long as he continues to stay in Chengdu, things will probably get worse and worse.
It's better to hurry up and prepare for the project of a new movie. Once you join the group, there won't be so many people looking for you.
You can also interrupt Youman's practice of reporting work to him every day.
For bosses of other companies, perhaps these management tasks are considered daily tasks.
But for Xu Ji, it was indeed a bit boring and troublesome.
Fortunately, the script for the new movie has almost been written, and it is estimated that after "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is released in a while, filming can officially begin.
