Chapter 1029 Masked Song Contest
A few hours before the performance officially started, the poster for the Masked Song Contest appeared on the Internet.

Those who participated in the discussion were basically the audience who had registered for the performance that evening.

However, the performance posters on site failed to arouse the audience's interest in watching the performance.

The main reason is that the poster was not carefully designed. It was just that Jiang Yuan and others thought that there should be a poster for promotion during a meeting, and finally they drew the poster together, so it naturally looks rather simple.

Of course, if fans knew that this was a poster created by Jiang Yuan and others, even if it was simple, there would probably still be fans who wanted to collect it.

This is a celebrity effect. If people didn't know that the poster was drawn by Jiang Yuan and others, they would just think it looks a bit too makeshift.

【Why doesn’t it look good? 】

[Masked Song Contest? You mean even if you go to the venue, you can't see who the singer is, right? ]

【Will more than one person perform? 】

[Can we find so many singers to perform here? ]

【I suddenly felt a little regretful. 】

【Maybe some big-name singers will appear on the scene? 】

[It feels a bit overwhelming. ]

[I will see what kind of masked singing party it is tonight. ]

-

As the only material for the performance that day, the poster unsurprisingly sparked heated discussions among the audience.

Some viewers even felt regretful because of the simple poster.

Fortunately, Paul's performance venue recruits audiences based on a membership points system, and if you miss a performance without reason, you will be permanently blacklisted.

Therefore, there shouldn’t be many viewers who would choose to miss the show because of this poster.

As for Jiang Yuan and others, after learning about the online discussions, it did not have much impact on their emotions.

Everyone also discussed and complained about it in the chat group, and felt that the poster design was indeed a bit too sloppy.

Regarding the performance itself, everyone is confident that the audience will not regret it.

In fact, the lower the expectations before watching the show, the greater the level of surprise will be after the show starts.

On the day of the performance, Jiang Yuan went out with Ye Xuanqi and two other domestic singers.

The main purpose was to purchase masks needed for the performance that evening.

This is also one of the important props. Jiang Yuan and others also want to choose a mask they like, preferably one with a pattern that matches the songs they perform.

Selecting masks during the preparation for the performance was a relatively unfamiliar activity for everyone, but the experience was quite fresh.

After shopping for half a day, everyone bought the masks they liked.

Before leaving for the scene, everyone posted photos of their masks in the group.

Jiang Yuan also took a rough look and the expected situation of all the masks being cartoons did not appear. Since the posters were already simple enough, everyone seemed to be competing with each other on the masks.

They all look like relatively refined products, and are not much worse than the masked singing programs Jiang Yuan has seen in the past.

Before leaving for the performance, Jiang Yuan also held a production meeting with Li Xiaoyue and others.

Today is our first official recording performance abroad, and the entire crew is a little nervous.

This is also because "Sound Source Live" is not like a regular music variety show. Every recording is a new challenge for the program team, and there will be no experience gained from the previous recordings.

It is still unknown what effect the so-called masked singing performance will have.

Even before departure, everyone was still discussing whether to take off the masks during the performance.

"The time to take off the masks should be considered a more important moment in today's recording. If you have any opinions, please share them now." The core members of the program team sat together on the sofa in the living room of the manor, and Li Xiaoyue asked a question.

Jiang Yuan did not speak immediately. He was silent for a while and listened to everyone's opinions.

"This issue actually requires us to not only consider the feelings of the live audience, but also the viewing experience of the online audience after the final program is edited, which is something we need to consider as well," said one of the program's screenwriters.

"Indeed, our previous discussions were roughly divided into three categories. One is to unveil the mask during the performance. This is similar to our previous programs, which both bring big surprises to the audience during the performance."

"Another type is that the entire show revolves around the theme of the masked singing contest, and all the performers are performed wearing masks. Their identities are revealed during the individual performances, or they wait until the show is over before they go on stage together to reveal their identities." Someone listed several options.

"I don't think it's possible to wait until the full performance is over. Although the singers are very talented, aren't there singers who are good at imitating singing now?"

“If the audience lacks this kind of awareness, the on-site feedback for some performances might not be very good,” someone objected.

This veto was also recognized by everyone present.

Jiang Yuan also thought about it from his own perspective. If he were to participate in such an event, even if the previous performances were wonderful, he would not be that excited if he could not really hear the singer's voice.

In contrast, if you knew at the beginning of the performance that the performers that day were all well-known singers, your mentality would probably be very different.

With this idea in mind, Jiang Yuan also cast a veto vote when expressing his opinion.

The options have also changed from three choices to two choices: whether to remove the mask during the performance or wait until the end of a complete song.

These two options are not so easy to decide for everyone present.

One group says that revealing the identity at the end of a song would not be as surprising as revealing it during the performance.

Another group says that wearing a mask to complete the performance can maintain the emotional continuity of the entire song, and it can also avoid the situation where the audience's response is not so enthusiastic if the mask is removed during the performance.

Jiang Yuan listened to the views of both factions and felt that they both made sense.

For example, domestic singers, including Ye Xuanqi, if the audience happens to be unfamiliar with them, no one will recognize them even if they take off their masks during the performance.

This is indeed a bit embarrassing, and it may even affect the performer's mood, causing the performance to go badly, which is not worth the effort.

Jiang Yuan originally planned to see what the result of everyone's vote would be.

But unexpectedly, the problem finally fell on Jiang Yuan and Li Xiaoyue.

When everyone was voting, the votes were surprisingly tied.

"How about you try your hand at this as a performer?" Li Xiaoyue also looked at Jiang Yuan at this time, obviously wanting to get the singer's opinion.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan thought about it seriously. When he listened to the opinions of everyone present, Jiang Yuan already had a certain inclination in his mind.

"I think we should keep both plans." Jiang Yuan said after thinking.

"I think the singer's own ideas can be used to decide when to take off the mask. When everyone is performing, if the song is suitable and the mood is aroused, taking off the mask will have a very good effect."

"There will also be singers who focus on performing, so let's just let everyone make their own decisions." Jiang Yuan slowly expressed his thoughts.

After hearing Jiang Yuan's statement, everyone at the scene thought about it and basically agreed.

After all, every singer has a more suitable plan for his or her performance, and it cannot be generalized.

"Then I will synchronize this news with everyone later." Li Xiaoyue continued.

The discussion on this issue ended at the meeting.

What everyone discussed next was basically speculation about some unexpected situations that might occur on the scene, as well as the corresponding response plans.

Jiang Yuan listened to the discussions without expressing any opinion, but he also felt that the program crew had indeed made relatively sufficient preparations for this shoot.

"Also, the day after tomorrow, our third episode will be aired."

"The content of this episode has changed significantly compared to the previous two episodes, so we should always pay attention to the audience's feedback."

"If the word-of-mouth response is not as good as before, there is still room for editing and adjustment in the fourth episode, including our subsequent recording direction."

Before the meeting ended, Li Xiaoyue once again explained to everyone present the precautions for the broadcast of the third episode.

After the meeting, everyone left the living room. On the day of recording, everyone was basically very busy.

In comparison, as the program's chief director, Li Xiaoyue only needs to control the overall situation and seems a lot more relaxed.

After the meeting, he also pulled Jiang Yuan aside to carefully analyze the feedback from the market since the launch of "Sound Source Live" and its popularity in recent days.

"After the first two episodes were aired, our show has already caught up with Your Voice in terms of single-episode online broadcast data and online discussion popularity."

As Li Xiaoyue spoke, she also found a comparison chart of relevant data on the computer.

Jiang Yuan took a quick look and indeed saw the data from the two episodes, which was basically on par with the popularity data of the show "Your Voice".

Even when "Your Voice" entered its final stages and began to show signs of fatigue, "Sound Source Live" successfully won the championship in the music variety show list for two weeks with just two episodes.

It can be said that from the very beginning, Li Xiaoyue was producing the show with the idea of ​​competing with popular music variety shows like "Your Voice".

At present, the first small goal of production has been achieved.

"However, the broadcast of the next two episodes is still very critical. On the one hand, we need to see how well the audience accepts the new model, and on the other hand, we need to see the audience's acceptance of the new lineup."

"These are basically the things about our program content. Although it has not been broadcast yet, everyone is relatively confident."

"The main problem is that, in addition to the problems with our program, there is also resistance from other programs."

"The two neighboring platforms have also officially announced new variety shows, and it is expected that they will collide with our schedules in the next few weeks and start competing with us."

After Li Xiaoyue finished listing the data, she also shared the information she had learned with Jiang Yuan.

Li Xiaoyue and others are able to make a clear decision whether they want to produce two hit shows or a whole season of hits.

Therefore, the subsequent program production is particularly important.

From the general concept proposed by Jiang Yuan at the beginning to the present, Li Xiaoyue and others have developed the program into something that Jiang Yuan could not have expected before.

You can only make appropriate comments based on your own opinions.

In addition, we also paid more attention to the promotion of the program.

Before finishing the chat with Li Xiaoyue, Jiang Yuan went on Yuan Universe and reminded fans to remember to watch the latest episode of "Sound Source Live" on time the day after tomorrow.

By the way, I also gave a spoiler that the latest episode will have very different content.

Although Jiang Yuan did not perform any new songs in the new episode, he did dance for the first time in a long time.

During the whole random dance, we did dance to many songs.

Although the random dance takes a long time, not all of it will be edited into the main film.

But Jiang Yuan also asked Li Xiaoyue, and heard that the complete version of the actions of different singers would be produced later and launched as a derivative of the program.

It is also a surprise benefit for fans of different singers.

After all, this is equivalent to having a singer's personal program to watch.

By then, the complete version of Jiang Yuan's random dance will also be released, which should be a surprise.

Jiang Yuan thought about how the responses to his previous dance performances had all been very enthusiastic.

"It's almost time, let's go to the scene to prepare." After chatting for a while, Li Xiaoyue looked at the time and spoke.

Most of the program staff have already arrived at the scene and are carrying out preparations.

Jiang Yuan, Paul and other singers arrived at the scene relatively late.

Although the performance was performed with masks on, considering that there would be a moment when the masks would be taken off, everyone also carefully put on makeup before the performance officially began.

At the same time, they all put on masks and tried to sing.

It is a relatively novel experience. Fortunately, it will not have much impact on the performance of each person's singing skills.

In the backstage, Jiang Yuan and others could also feel that the scene was becoming more and more lively.

As the performance was about to begin, the audience arrived at the scene one after another.

As soon as they arrived at the scene, the audience found that this masked singing concert was very different from the performances they had attended before, which sparked quite a heated discussion.

Jiang Yuan and others also changed into their performance costumes backstage, all of which were carefully matched with the masks.

Everyone gathered together and finally determined the order of their appearance.
