I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Although Feiniao subconsciously denied Xu Kong's statement.

But seeing the singer on the stage remaining silent, he could actually sense something.

Maybe this person really is Yang Jiangjie, one of the four newcomers like Xu Kong?

Since his debut, he successfully entered the public eye with an album.

I don’t know if it was because it was praised too much in the early stage, but it was completely crushed by Su Zhi’s new album and didn’t win any awards for album of the year.

So I kind of gave up on myself.

Or there must be another reason.

Anyway, it was basically not very active afterwards.

There are even very few new songs released.

According to his age, this time should be the peak of his creative career.

It's impossible to produce so slowly.

Who would have thought that after disappearing for such a long time, he would suddenly appear on the show "King of Masked Singer".

Most importantly, he started writing R&B songs.

……

Why would Feiniao subconsciously oppose Xu Kong's statement?

The main reason is that Yang Jiangjie is not a singer who is good at this type of music.

The most important thing is that in terms of song quality, it is too mature.

Moreover, when Yang Jiangjie first started to emerge, he was criticized the most for his poor singing skills and stage performance.

More like a typical studio singer.

But judging from the other party's performance in this show.

Although his performance on stage could not be said to be particularly good, at least his stage performance, singing skills and other basics were all quite good.

In fact, it hasn't been long since Yang Jiangjie faded out of the public eye.

If Xu Kong's guess was correct, then the other party's change was really quite big.

……

Yang Jiangjie on the stage was also a little surprised at this time.

He didn't expect that Xu Kong could recognize him directly.

Compared to when he first debuted, Yang Jiangjie is indeed much more mature now.

I will no longer be so arrogant and look down on any of my peers as before.

Especially Xu Kong, after listening to most of the other party's songs, he couldn't help but feel admiration for him.

Including the fact that I have started making R&B music now, it is also due to the influence of Xu Kong.

But none of this is critical.

He didn't expect that he would be able to meet Xu Kong in such an occasion.

At this moment I just felt a little ashamed.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s because of the number of votes just now.

……

He is now very self-aware. Although his performance just now was not bad, there is definitely no way he can get the same number of votes as Su Yuwei.

The only explanation is that Jiying Media took action.

It is impossible to buy off all media reviewers.

But you only need to communicate in advance with several media reviewers with whom Jiying Media has cooperative relationships.

There are about ten of them, and they should vote for him when they vote.

In the end, the number of votes, which may be around 85, may actually increase to more than 90 votes.

In fact, he certainly knew that the company was doing this for his own good.

The show "King of Masked Singer" is so popular now, and being able to enter the finals and sing for one more episode will bring him huge extra popularity and traffic.

But for him personally, Yang Jiangjie felt really uncomfortable about entering the finals in this way.

Although this kind of thing is unlikely to be discovered, because the several media reviewers who have cooperative relationships with Jiying Media have received a lot of money in the past.

The relationship between the two parties is also kept confidential.

I am unlikely to take the initiative to self-destruct.

But he still felt a little ashamed and embarrassed in his heart, especially when facing Xu Kong at this time, this feeling was even deeper.

……

Of course, if it was when he had just graduated and joined the company, Yang Jiangjie might have told the truth directly and expressed his dissatisfaction to the company.

But now, he is no longer the newcomer who knows nothing and acts rashly.

He also knew that this opportunity was hard-won. Although it was the company that did it and he didn't know about it in advance, he felt burdened, but he had no choice but to continue to cooperate.

"You sang very well. I hope you can bring us better works in the future."

After Xu Kong guessed the identity, he did not continue to talk about the matter.

Instead, he gave his own evaluation lightly and passed it over briefly.

Of course he knew that there was something wrong with Yang Jiangjie's votes.

It has nothing to do with the Mango TV program crew. Given his relationship with Wu Youxue, the other party would never help Yang Jiangjie to do such things.

But at the same time, Jiying Media is the largest music company in China.

It owns more than 40% of the current active singers in the music industry.

It is extremely easy to help Yang Jiangjie improve his score by a few votes.

And there is absolutely no possibility of being caught.

The main reason was that Yang Jiangjie’s performance quality was already quite high, and the increase was only less than ten votes.

This can be completely explained by the personal preferences of media reviewers.

……

Of course, it’s just a show, Xu Kong really doesn’t care much about it.

Even if Mao Zheyu was really eliminated in this episode.

For him, it was actually enough.

So far, Mao Zheyu has gained a lot of traffic and popularity since participating in this program.

As for Jiying Media, Xu Kong's relationship with the other party could no longer be eased.

It’s not because of the so-called poaching of Su Yuwei.

But in Xu Kong's plan, Fengqing Entertainment was originally intended to compete with Jiying for the market.

Both companies rely on music as their main business.

Fengqing Entertainment wants to develop better and better, but it has an incompatible relationship with the old and large company Jiying Media.

……

"Let me tell you, from what I just saw, Cong Jin and Song Yuening seem to be traditional music critics with extremely high standards."

“Even Su Yuwei didn’t vote before. According to their standards, how could they vote for Yang Jiangjie?”

"And the information I got was that these two people actually cooperated with Jiying Media a long time ago."

"He is one of those guys who looks independent, but has actually been incorporated a long time ago."

"There is indeed something wrong with Yang Jiangjie's vote count."

Next to Fei Niao, the music director who obviously knew a lot of inside information couldn't help but complain to him in a low voice.

"Over there, that guy is called Junfei, he is in the same business as me, and he had a quarrel with me online before."

"This guy likes to contradict me on almost everything."

"Whoever I vote for, he won't vote for."

"But this time I voted for Yang Jiangjie, but he didn't..."

……

After hearing what Fat Bird said, the music director remained noncommittal.

Obviously, after a quick check, the two of them were able to see some media reviews that did not quite conform to the previous voting standards and logic.

In addition, Feiniao had previously experienced being offered a high price by Jiying Media to recruit him, so he actually had his own guesses about these things.

Of course, he definitely couldn't say it directly.

Even when making videos later, I might just mention the unreasonable number of votes.

But I dare not express these conspiracy theories.

It's mainly a big company like Jiying Media. If he tells it, the other party will probably hold on to it. Suing them is no big deal.

The main reason is that Fei Niao currently doesn’t have enough energy to deal with these.

The less trouble, the better.

There is no way to prove this thing.

In the end it's just a random guess.

As for whether these unreasonable aspects will be exposed on the Internet when the program is broadcast.

That’s another matter.

Anyway, Feiniao felt that Jiying's approach this time was not very clever.

Originally, Yang Jiangjie's performance on the show was definitely eye-catching.

Even if he was eliminated in the semi-finals, no one would think that his ability and works were not good.

It’s not shameful to lose to Xu Kong’s song.

But now, using this little trick, I can advance.

But when the show is broadcast and people really start to dig up these things, it will be like yellow mud falling into your crotch, and there will be no way to explain it.

After all, the media judges' voting is based on real names. If you pull out the records of every previous vote, the people mentioned by the two people just now will eventually surface.

If we could dig out some more of their relationship and cooperation with Jiying Media.

Even if there is no evidence for the whole incident, it is enough for most netizens to make their own judgment.

……

Although many people at the scene knew the problem of the number of votes.

But since no one brought it up, the program continued to be recorded as normal.

Of course, the next person to appear on stage is the singer named "Rose".

As the highest voted person in the previous issue, Feiniao had actually given the opinion that the other party's real identity was Lan Shu a long time ago.

Unfortunately, such speculation has hardly been recognized by most netizens online.

What everyone agrees on now is that this "Rose" is obviously a new singer who debuted at a relatively late age.

Because the music styles tend to be gentle.

This is completely contrary to the stereotype of Lan Shu as a high-pitched singer in netizens' minds, so naturally no one would agree with Fei Niao's words.

But in fact, Feiniao guessed that this person was Lan Shu.

He also has his own reasons.

Some clues can be seen from the song "Promise" written for Lan Shu when he first joined Xu Kong's company.

So it is understandable that the style has changed completely.

……

"One Hundred Years of Solitude"

"Singing: Rose"

As the message of the song comes out.

It is still a new song, and the name of the composer is still unknown.

In other words, the song itself was definitely not written by the singer Rose herself.

Of course, it can be said that this pattern is very similar to that of Su Yuwei and Mao Zheyu, whose identities have been confirmed so far.

But even Fat Bird couldn't be 100% sure that this Rose was the well-known first-line singer Lan Shu.

At the same time, there was a huge cheer.

Rose relied on the show "King of Masked Singer", although no one can guess her true identity yet.

But his popularity is already the highest among all the singers in the entire show.

Even more attention than Su Yuwei.

Of course, this aspect is still related to the fact that the identity has not been guessed and is relatively mysterious.

If Su Yuwei hadn’t been recognized in the first episode.

In fact, his popularity may be much higher if he performs in subsequent shows.

That’s what’s different about this show.

Compared with traditional competitive music variety shows, in addition to paying attention to the singers' stage performances, a considerable amount of the audience's attention has shifted to the most talked-about gimmick of masked performances.

……

When the prelude sounded, the fat bird suddenly became energetic.

This prelude of psychedelic rock and electronic elements is really hard not to be impressed.

It’s not that this kind of style is unseen, but it is still quite conspicuous on a relatively popular variety show like "King of Masked Singer".

"My heart belongs to you, I borrow it to entrust you with my love"

“It became my inner demon”

The singer's voice on the stage sounded lazy but a little ethereal.

Fat Bird felt stable at this point.

Just from the style and arrangement of this song, it gives people a completely different feeling from other singers.

The most important thing is that many songs with electronic and psychedelic rock elements are actually not that pleasant to the ear in terms of melody.

In comparison, the acceptance level among ordinary listeners is not that high.

But although this song combines these elements, its overall melody is still that of traditional pop music.

It can be seen that the composer has indeed made some attempts, and these attempts seem to be very successful so far.

……

"The back view is real, but the person is fake"

"No obsession, a hundred years ago"

"You are not you, and I am not me"

When the chorus came out, Fat Bird was stunned.

The singing style remains unchanged, but the overall voice shows a terrifying control over the high notes.

Definitely Lanshu!
Fat Bird became more and more certain of his guess.

Apart from her vocal conditions and some details, Lan Shu is the most suitable candidate.

There is also a pop single with a very unique style, which looks like it was written by Xu Kong no matter how you look at it.

It’s not that some other songwriters can’t write it.

Instead, it gives people the feeling that only Xu Kong could do it so skillfully and with such a high degree of accomplishment.

It seems that in the entire domestic entertainment industry, only Xu Kong dares to let a singer sing this kind of song on such a show, especially on the semi-final stage.

……

"Sorrow is real, tears are fake"

“There is no cause and effect”

The singer named Rose on the stage continued singing.

At this time, the music director next to Fei Niao couldn't help but say:
"I feel like the first place in this semi-final will most likely be this Rose."

Fat Bird nodded without comment.

Of course he knows about this show, and the final vote count is expected to be high.

There is a high probability that it will exceed the previous highest number of votes.

But these were not what he needed to think about at the moment.

Now, Feintiao was immersed in the excitement of becoming more and more certain that he had guessed Lan Shu's identity correctly.

When the truth is finally revealed, he will be able to hold his head high.

Let those who think he is talking nonsense take a good look to see whether his guesses are true!

……

"One hundred years later"

"Without you, there is no me"

At the same time, on the stage, with the end of the last line of lyrics, the whole performance came to an end.

Of course, Fat Bird cast his vote without hesitation.
