They're trying to ride the wave of popularity through the show, grab attention, and increase their visibility.

Vita naturally wouldn't refuse these people's participation; in her view, they would bring more fun to the competition.

The other party wants to increase its popularity through "The Masked Singer," and "The Masked Singer" can also attract traffic through these people.

She had everything planned out for Bai Qianqu. Once Bai Qianqu was eliminated and his identity was revealed, causing a sensation, she would invite him to continue as a special guest on the show in the name of the production team, making good use of Qu Yin's fame. The ratings would definitely far exceed all the shows she had recorded before!

I get so excited just thinking about it!

As for whether Bai Qianqu would agree to be a special guest, Vita wasn't too worried.

To put it simply, a composer is like a screenwriter in a film crew, and a singer is like an actor.

Isn't it normal for a screenwriter to be a worse actor than a screenwriter?

Even if he loses, people won't think it's a big deal; they might even admire his courage to go on stage.

Qu Yin lost the game, but not only will no one be disappointed, she will even gain more support.

At this moment, one of Vita's deputies, seeing her so excited, asked curiously, "Is another big shot coming to participate?"

Due to confidentiality requirements, only Vita knew the specific list of participants. However, she was aware of some inside information: the participants this time were absolutely full of hidden talents and experts!

Vita chuckled: "Indeed, a big shot has arrived! The kind that can cause a huge stir! As usual, I can't say his name yet, but we won't have to wait too long. I estimate that he'll be unmasked in two or three rounds, and then you'll know who he is. Hehe, don't be too surprised then."

The deputy rolled his eyes, feeling utterly speechless.

Based on Vita's account, she could roughly guess that it was probably another big shot from some field coming to join the fun.

She couldn't help but think to herself: These people really have nothing better to do.

However, she had to admit that Vita was indeed very good at creating entertaining content.

In the past few days, the clues that the program team has intentionally or unintentionally revealed have attracted the attention of countless netizens.

Like this deputy, no one knew who was participating; all they knew was that the participants included big names from various fields.

These big shots are usually very successful in their respective industries, but bringing them together on the same stage to compete in singing is a huge gimmick.

Furthermore, the production team has already announced that among the judges invited this time is the legendary Qu Shen!

Furthermore, the production team promised that in every episode of "The Masked Singer," at least one renowned singer would be invited to serve as a judge!

The production team did this partly to use the name of the "God of Music" to enhance the show.

Another aspect is to suppress the participating contestants.

In the world of music, composers hold the highest status; this is a consensus.

Most composers have absolute say in their own works.

However, there are exceptions. For example, if the singer's status and position in this collaboration far exceed that of the composer, the balance of power between the two parties may be reversed.

The same applies to other industries. For example, when an actor's status far surpasses that of a screenwriter, the actor can also negotiate terms.

Many of the contestants this time are people of very high status and rank, such as famous singers, and they have very high aspirations.

The comments from ordinary judges may not be convincing to them.

Therefore, the production team of "The Masked Singer" directly invited the God of Songs to be a judge.

As everyone knows, in the music world, the "God of Songs" is an absolute god.

No singer has a higher status than the God of Music, and no singer dares to disrespect the God of Music.

Even the kings and queens of singing have to bow down and acknowledge the praise of the "God of Songs".

After all, the King and Queen of Singers were chosen by the God of Music, and everyone can understand the relationship between the two kings.

Of course, the main reason is that all the legendary musicians deserve respect; they are truly the pinnacle of the music industry.

Whether it's talent, skill, or character, all three are necessary to become a master of music.

After all, the selection of the "God of Songs" tests overall ability.

Personal charisma is also among the selection criteria.

Vita was in a good mood. She said to her deputy, "The time is almost right. We can spread a little more word to generate some buzz!"

The deputy understood immediately and turned to make the arrangements.

So that same day, the "Masked Singer" program team posted a new update on Weike's official account.

[Final Announcement! The "Masked Singer" program will begin recording in June! It will officially air on Changkong TV during prime time on July 5th! After rigorous selection, six mystery contestants have been invited to participate in the first episode!]

[During the program, you can guess the true identities of the six mystery contestants through the official mini-program! After each contestant is revealed, we will randomly select three lucky winners from the accounts that guessed correctly to receive the latest RTX 8080 graphics card!]

[Friendly reminder: These six contestants are all exceptional! They include top singers from the industry, as well as big names from various fields!]

The list of judges invited for the first round has been released. You can click the image below to view it!

Finally, let's shout out our show's ultimate slogan: Masked Singer, Strength reigns supreme!

The moment the news was released, it sent shockwaves through the outside world!

The air date for the program has finally been confirmed!

The number of contestants for the first round has been confirmed!

And there's a list of judges!

Soon everyone saw a shocking name inside!

The God of Music: Walter!

God of Songs: Eden!

A bombshell!

Perhaps because this is the first episode, the production team of "King of Masked Singers" attaches great importance to it and has invited two top-notch singers to be the judges!

Chapter 360 Hot Registration

Even before the show started, countless people had already gone crazy just because of these two names.

“Holy shit, shit, shit!!!”

"Two music masters! And they're Walter and Eden, no less!!!"

"With these two judges, I watched the whole show from beginning to end!"

"It looks like this show is going to be really interesting! Not only are the contestants' identities mysterious, but there's also a music legend as a judge! No variety show has ever had such a big lineup before!"

"This is only the first episode!"

"With a legendary singer serving as a judge, it means there must be some top singers among the contestants!"

"Hahaha, I wonder how many of the six contestants are S-rank. For those who aren't S-rank, it's probably hellish!"

"If the God of Songs is a judge, he will definitely speak his mind and not be afraid of offending the singers. Unlike those ordinary judges, who can deal with ordinary singers but only say nice things and smooth things over when they encounter singers of higher status, which is meaningless."

""

The identities of the contestants on "The Masked Singer" are shrouded in mystery, leaving everyone to speculate wildly. However, the identities of the judges are transparent, so everyone's attention is drawn to them.

Besides Eden and Walter, the two masters of music, the other four judges are also big names in the industry.

Even the worst ones are retired divas!

The impressive lineup of judges only adds to the mystery surrounding the contestants.

As soon as the program team announced the news, it immediately topped the trending searches on Weibo.

"The Masked Singer" has become the most anticipated variety show of the year, bar none.

At this moment, in a certain residential area, Yingmei is on the phone with her agent.

Yingmei asked a question: "What do you think of my looks?"

Agent: "She's quite good-looking."

Yingmei: "???"

"So it's not good-looking enough?"

The agent quickly explained, "Um, don't misunderstand. What I mean is that while your looks aren't the most stunning in the entire entertainment industry, they are the most pleasing to the eye in the long run."

"How does she compare to the girls around Teacher Qu Yin?"

"Uh"

Yingmei had already received the answer. She pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind.

The agent found Yingmei's behavior strange: "Why are you suddenly asking this question? You weren't this concerned about your appearance before, were you? Don't you always say that talent is everything?"

Yingmei didn't answer, but instead asked another question: "What do you think of my voice?"

The agent nodded: "To be honest, you are indeed very good, otherwise Teacher Qu Yin would not have chosen you."

"Alright, I've made up my mind. I'm going to participate in 'The Masked Singer'!"

"Really?" The agent was pleasantly surprised. She had suggested that Yingmei participate before, but Yingmei had never given a clear answer.

The main reason is that "The Masked Singer" is too popular. Among the contestants who signed up, there are many A-level and S-level contestants. The competition is too fierce. If she is eliminated in the first round, it will not only not be good for Yingmei, but may even have some negative effects.

That would be a thankless task.

Everyone did wear masks, minimizing the impact on their status and reputation, but their skills remained.

She was genuinely a little nervous about competing on the same stage with S-level singers.

However, now that Yingmei has made up her mind, her manager naturally won't refuse.

"Since you've decided to participate, I'll register directly with the higher-ups. However, the participants for the first round have already been confirmed, so you probably won't be able to make it. You'll probably have to wait until the third or fourth round."

"But this is also good. The contestants selected by the production team in the first two episodes must have been very strong in order to generate buzz. This way, we can avoid competing with them."

Meanwhile, at another hotel.

Rosalyn is also on the phone with her agent.

She will also participate in "The Masked Singer".

"I found that after I was promoted to B level, it became very difficult to go further. The growth rate of my traffic and fans slowed down a lot. Although with the help of Teacher Qu Yin, my popularity has recently skyrocketed, but I can't always bother Teacher Qu Yin. So I plan to participate in this program to show my strength."

Rosalyn's agent also agreed: "Your singing skills are actually not much worse than some S-level singers. If you can gain the recognition of the judges on this show, it will definitely be a great help to your future development."

Soon, both of their applications were submitted to Bronya.
