Chapter 274

When the young girl heard about "Masked Singer 3," she was stunned for a moment.

She recalled the famous scenes from a similar show in her past life, "King of Mask Singer."

For example:

The performances of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" and "Jiu'er" by the Great Demon King Tan were deeply impressive.

Then there was Zhou Sheng's cross-dressing; that graceful figure, the perfect female voice, and even more absurdly, the fact that he wore fake breasts... It left the audience and judges racking their brains, unable to guess his identity. When he finally revealed his face, the audience only then realized it was him, and the entire studio exploded in an instant.

This was a very interesting and fun show.

This was true for the audience, as well as for the contestants and guests participating in the show.

Contestants had to try their best to disguise their vocal timbre and appearance, while the audience and judges struggled to guess the singers' identities.

It looked like a variety show, but it was actually a battle of wits between the contestants and the audience.

Even better, it was a wonderful auditory feast.

In order to go further in the show, the contestants had to hide their identities while also giving their all in the competition, which was a treat for the audience's ears.

Fine.

The young girl wouldn't admit that the 45 million appearance fee was the reason she had developed a favorable impression of this show.

"Are there any other music variety shows with higher appearance fees than Masked Singer?" Xu Youyue asked.

Xia Yan shook her head and said, "No, but 'I Am a Singer' and 'China's Strongest Voice' have also sent variety show invitations... Their influence is much higher than 'Masked Singer 3'."

Xu Mingyue smiled and said, "Reject them, let's choose this 'Masked Singer'..."

Was she being that decisive?

Xia Yan was a bit bewildered.

She had originally thought Youyue and Mingyue would struggle for a while before making a choice, but she didn't expect...

They made the decision right away.

In an instant.

She understood.

Aside from the Spring Festival Gala, this pair of twins didn't need the influence of those shows. Now that they were at the height of their popularity and the focus of the entire internet, it was those shows that needed them, not the other way around.

"Actually, you could choose two variety shows," Xia Yan said, her gaze sweeping over the twin sisters.

Unlike other celebrities, You Mingyue was actually two people. Having stayed with them for a long time, Xia Yan knew that the two sisters' business capabilities were almost identical; what the older sister could do, the younger sister could do too.

Therefore, it was entirely possible for the older sister to go to one music variety show and the younger sister to go to another.

Earning double the money.

The twin girls looked at each other, smiled, shook their heads, and said in unison, "No need."

For this kind of music variety show, it was enough for the young girls to appear on just one for the time being.

And it was enough for only one of the twins to go.

Wouldn't it be better to use the remaining slot to film a drama?

They currently had a pile of scripts saved up that they didn't have time to film.

Including "Midnight Mummy," "Reset," "Chinese Paladin 3,"... and so on.

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll go reply immediately."

The young girls accepting the Spring Festival Gala invitation and choosing the variety show was just a small interlude.

The internet was still focused on the December battle of the gods in the music scene, You Mingyue's anime "Year Hare Affair," and other social, military, and international trending topics.

In the blink of an eye.

A day and a half passed.

When it reached 7:00 PM on December 22nd, the Children's Channel began broadcasting "Year Hare Affair."

Tencent Video and Bilibili also uploaded the first two episodes of "Year Hare Affair."

On the Children's Channel, because each episode of this anime was far too short, two episodes were combined into one, and many advertisements were inserted in the middle of each episode.

In this way, the duration of one episode of this anime was about the same as an episode of other anime.

The Children's Channel didn't mind; on the contrary, they were delighted.

They had seen "Year Hare Affair" and knew the quality of this anime, so even with ads inserted, it was unlikely that the audience would stop watching.

Instead, they made a killing on the lucrative advertising fees; it was a win.

This was actually unavoidable, as the original episodes were far too short, only seven or eight minutes long.

At the same time, it gave the audience some time to catch their breath, because the lingering impact of this anime was just a bit too intense, making it easy for people to be overwhelmed.

At this very moment.

Thousands of households across China turned on their televisions to watch "Year Hare Affair."

Many parents sat with their children to watch it together.

"Get lost!"

"This is no place for you to speak, hurry up and prepare tea for us."

"Do you feel like you can't live so cowardly? Then... let's resist together."

"Kill them!"

"The strongest summon beast on Blue Star, Eagle Sauce!"

"Hello everyone, I am friend of justice A!"

"Let's use our own hands to create a China where we can eat our fill, dress warmly, and not be looked down upon!"

"..."

One episode was finished quickly.

The children watched with happy faces.

"The rabbit is so cute."

"I like the rabbit."

"That yellow-haired chicken is too hateful."

"Kill them! Hahahaha... this phrase is fun!"

"..."

In thousands of households, the air was filled with the laughter of children.

However, when they turned to look at their parents, they found them looking solemn, and some even had red eyes.

"What's wrong?" some children asked innocently with wide eyes.

Following that.

There were commercials.

Many parents were able to take the time to calm their emotions.

"I didn't expect it to be this kind of animation."

"Year Hare... refers to them."

"That year refers to that era. When I was studying, every time I saw things from that era, my heart would tremble. That era was too dark, too difficult."

"..."

The children listened to their parents speak in riddles with confused expressions.

To them, things from over a hundred years ago were nothing but riddles.

Immediately after.

After the commercials, the second episode began.

In the opening animation, a big Mao Bear and a White-Headed Eagle glared angrily at each other, lightning flashing in their eyes as they collided fiercely in the air.

Then, the plot unfolded.

The gist was that after the Foot-Basin Chicken was driven away, North Stick and South Stick had a dispute over the Korea Street.

North Stick found Mao Bear, and with Mao Bear's consent, beat South Stick up. South Stick used the strongest summoning magic, Father.

White-Headed Eagle arrived and used a gun to drive North Stick away.

The crying North Stick found the Rabbit to ask for help.

After talking with Mao Bear, the Rabbit agreed to send troops.

One night.

Two rabbits sat on a hilltop, waiting for Mao Bear's air support.
