Chapter 385

The staff member continued:

"In each episode, there will be 500 audience members, 40 professional judges, and 4 celebrity guests on site.

The professional judges mainly come from music industry practitioners, as well as famous music critics, well-known music content creators, and so on.

Regarding voting.

The 500 audience members each have 1 vote per performance.

Each professional judge can cast up to 10 votes per performance.

Each celebrity guest can cast up to 25 votes per performance.

The maximum total is 1,000 votes."

The young lady raised an eyebrow: "In other words, the weight of the audience's vote is greater than that of the professional judges and guests."

"Yes." The two young girls nodded in unison.

In fact, this is the standard operating procedure for music variety shows nowadays: giving the majority of the voting weight to the audience, which conversely weakens the weight of the guests and judges.

On one hand, it allows the audience watching the show to feel that there is no behind-the-scenes manipulation, at least appearing fair on the surface.

On the other hand, the pressure on the celebrity guests is also much smaller. At the very least, they don't have to take the blame for too many things.

For example, in a certain music show, it was clearly the production team that wanted to eliminate a contestant, but they made the celebrity guests speak against their conscience, and in the end, the audience chased and scolded the celebrity guests.

This has happened before in music variety shows in China.

Those celebrity guests who come to participate in the show actually don't want to take this blame either.

……

The recording site was at the indoor arena of the Jin Ling Olympic Sports Center in Su Province.

The production team's confidentiality work was done very well.

When the Mercedes business van Xu Mingyue was riding in drove in, one could see that the area around the Olympic Sports Center and the underground parking lot were all already in a state of lockdown.

Without an invitation from the production team, one simply couldn't get in.

In fact, even the curtains in the Mercedes business van were drawn to prevent anyone from seeing the situation inside the vehicle.

Subsequently.

Xu Mingyue got out of the car and took the elevator into the interior of the Olympic Sports Center.

She was first taken to a lounge to wait.

Then she went to rehearse.

……

And on the other side of the production team.

General Director Xu Xiang Dong had long been waiting at the rehearsal site.

In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the contestants currently rehearsing.

He was looking forward more to the stage performance of the Ruthless One.

This was someone they had spent 45 million in appearance fees to invite.

Their appearance fee was even higher than that of many celebrity guests.

It could be said that he had pinned the success of this season's show on the Ruthless One.

He hoped the stage performance of these two great masters could carry the show to success.

As long as the show's popularity went up in the early stages, the later episodes would become easier.

By then, those proud, talented singers would instead beg to be on this stage themselves, without needing to spend any appearance fees.

Suddenly.

A message popped up on his phone, with only four characters:

"The Ruthless One is here."

Xu Xiang Dong's eyes lit up.

The Ruthless One was the name the Ruthless One had chosen for her masked identity.

She was here.

……

The young lady's rehearsal went very smoothly.

So smoothly that even she herself was a bit surprised; the musicians in the production team's live band were all skilled at playing music.

However.

When she wore the mask and finished singing a song.

The rehearsal site was stunned.

The band teachers were stunned.

The staff members were stunned.

The show's general director and deputy director were also stunned.

Everyone was shocked!

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

"One person playing five roles? Five types of voices?"

"Not just five types of voices; counting the coloratura and the final child's crying and coaxing sounds, there are eight in total!"

"Forget about identifying the timbre; I can't even tell if she's a man or a woman."

"……"

The staff members stared with wide eyes, and there was an uproar.

The contestants who rehearsed before had also brought them surprise, but nowhere near as shocking as the Ruthless One!

Xu Xiang Dong naturally knew who the Ruthless One was; at this moment, he was pinching his thigh hard, feeling truly too excited and thrilled!

After Xu Mingyue finished singing "Dala Bengba," he knew that the first episode of "Masked Singer 3" was secure!

No!

It could even be said that this song could cause a sensation across the entire internet.

Becoming a god-level stage performance!

"As expected of the music scene's Great Demon King, the Ruthless One! Amazing! Awesome! Absolutely insane!" Xu Xiang Dong thought to himself.

He had thought that the Ruthless One would bring out a new song, but he never expected that she would bring out such a song.

With so many vocal lines, it was impossible to tell which one was her original voice.

How was anyone supposed to guess this?

It was impossible to guess!

But not being able to guess the singer's identity was precisely the greatest joy of the show "Masked Singer 3"!

It could whet the audience's appetite.

At the same time.

Xu Xiang Dong really wanted to run onto the stage and ask, are you guys fallen immortals? Not only can you write such songs, but you can actually sing them!

Simply monstrous.

It's completely outrageous!

……

Come to think of it, the composition and lyrics of "Dala Bengba" are not exactly stunning, but it can create a stage effect that makes one's scalp tingle and is extremely shocking.

The only drawback is that it has extremely high requirements for the singer's vocal skills and memorization of lyrics.

On Earth, the person who sang this song the best was Zhou Sen.

When he sang this song on the stage of "Singer," he used eight different vocal lines.

When that song rang out, it ignited the whole venue, stunned the hot searches, and also shook all the major music charts—

The young lady could do it too! Damn.
