Chapter 340 Ugly Monster's "Ugly Monster"
However, most people still hold a wait-and-see attitude. Promotional films are one thing, and feature films are another.
No documentary has ever satisfied both the authorities and the audience.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Industry insiders are not optimistic about the success of "Guarding Jianghan Road".
On the day after the press conference, Xu Nuo took the crew to the Jianghan Road Police Station.
The first step is to select the actors. This is a documentary. There is no star drama, just choosing from dozens of police officers.
In the conference room, Chen Donghai sat in the main seat and held the line. Xu Nuo sat beside him and looked through the information and started to select people.
"Let me explain in advance, this selection is not to say that the people not selected are bad, but we are going to record a program after all, so I will prefer some comrades who are better at expressing themselves."
Chen Donghai waved his hand: "It's okay, you can make your choice. If anyone doesn't cooperate or has any objections, you can come to me!"
Xu Nuo was helpless and began to name "Zhang Hao, He Yu, Yang Gang, Liao Wei..."
A total of seven or eight people were ordered.
"Subsequent candidates may be adjusted as needed. I would like to ask for your support during this period."
Zhao Guangming, director of the Jianghan Road Police Station, said solemnly: "On behalf of the Jianghan Road Police Station, I would like to express my position. Everyone at the police station will absolutely cooperate and support!"
After selecting the people, Zhao Guangming visited the police station with his promise.
Jianghan Road Police Station is very large, with a patrol squadron, a security squadron, a comprehensive command room, a household affairs squadron...
There were nearly a hundred people going up and down.
The entire police station receives dozens of police calls every day, with the peak number of calls reaching over 100 calls a day.
After the police station was renovated, the wall of a deputy director's office was replaced with a one-way mirror. Opposite was the interrogation room, which was where they were promised to stay.
During normal interrogations, the cameraman would film in this office.
If there is a police situation, the cameraman will follow the police out. At the same time, they will also be equipped with pinhole cameras and candid glasses to follow and film the plainclothes police.
The entire crew, like the police, works in shifts 24 hours a day.
At the same time, the crew does not make any choices about the police situation. As long as there is a police situation, they will follow the filming to avoid missing useful clues to the greatest extent.
Xu Nuo had just returned to the office and before his butt was warm, the radio rang.
"There is new police information, please check it."
"Some people were drunk and fighting on Jianghan Road. I'll call the police." Zhang Hao and Liao Wei set off at the same time.
Xu Nuo waved and brought the cameraman to follow.
Drunk riots are the most common police situation on Jianghan Road. There are bars, Internet cafes and restaurants here. Alcohol can make people lose their ability to control themselves.
Over the course of the day, Xu Nuo got into several drunken troubles.
Fortunately, there was a lot to gain. It only took three days to edit the first issue.
At this time, the fourth episode of "The King of Masked Singer" begins.
In the fourth episode, the guests changed. Wu Gaofeng and Liang Feifan left. The guests who joined were Huo Shanchuan, also a veteran superstar, and Lu Hualin, a former movie king.
It can be regarded as taking over the vacancies of the two guests who left.
Xu Nuo did not participate in this issue. One of the rights of the singer is to go straight to the finals. In addition, he happened to be busy in this issue, so he skipped it.
As soon as the news came out, many people expressed regret.
"Without the Great Sage, "The King of Masked Singer" will definitely be much less exciting."
"I just came here for the Great Sage. Without the Great Sage, this show would be boring."
New songs are far more attractive to netizens than a group of masked people singing old songs.
Especially when the remaining contestants still don’t have any clues until now.
Xu Nuo browsed the discussions on the Internet and opened the live broadcast room.
Several members of the crew also came over to watch the show.
"It's a pity, I quite like the Monkey King." said the cameraman Xiao Zheng.
"Yes, yes, I like him the most too." Xiao Zhou, another cameraman, also became excited.
Xu Nuo had a weird expression, and for a long time these people were all his fans.
At the beginning of the show, several people chatted one after another.
The Ugly Monster has already taken the stage, and this time he is luckier and has picked up a replacement singer.
The ugly guy wearing an ugly mask stood on the stage, and the ear-scratching prelude sounded.
The screen displays song information, "Ugly."
Li Ronghao wrote "The Ugly" for Joker Xue and "Monster" for Leo Ku, but it is difficult to comment on "Model" for himself.
In the lounge, several people were happy: "The Ugly Guy sings "The Ugly Guy"."
"Ugly monsters can't get along with ugliness, right?"
The scene was also filled with laughter, and the guests had strange expressions.
The barrage of "ugly monsters" flew up.
The ugly guy held the microphone and dragged people into sorrow as soon as he opened his mouth.
"If the world is dark, I am actually beautiful,
Advancing and retreating in love, the most will be consumed,
It’s insignificant right and wrong, no matter how wrong it is, it doesn’t matter…”
Pain, pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.
This song is a true portrayal of Kevin Shen.
Regardless of his appearance, his voice is that of a standard handsome guy.
Today's entertainment industry pays more and more attention to appearance. Those who have a good skin don't have to do anything. They only need to show off their posture to gain a large number of fans.
As for Shen Kaiwen, no matter how good the songs he sings, countless people will attack his appearance.
How wonderful it would be if the world was pitch black and everyone used their voices to distinguish between beauty and ugliness.
Shen Kaiwen thought about this more than once.
He has long accepted his appearance, the criticism he has received, and can let it go.
But letting it go does not mean not caring.
In the dead of night, he occasionally thinks that it would be better if he looked a little more handsome, just a little bit.
Kevin Shen likes this song "Ugly Monster" very much, just like the song "I am ugly, but I am gentle", which seems to be a song written specifically for people like him.
"If I were like you, there would always be people praising me,
The humbleness around me might fade away,
In fact, I don't care, there are many opportunities,
Fearless like a giant,
Indulge the ghost in my heart,
But I don't deserve it."
This is the inner confession of every ordinary-looking person.
Kevin Shen's voice is particularly pious, and he can't even control his emotions. This song has what he has always wanted to say.
That lively and cheerful person who likes to sing is an ugly man.
The lights on the stage are getting darker and darker, leaving only Kevin Shen wearing a mask on the stage to accuse something with his singing.
"Masked Singer" is actually the most suitable stage for him to some extent.
Appearance is not important here. He will not be looked down upon as he did when he participated in "The Strongest Love Song King".
He can wear a mask and give full play to his singing skills.
There was silence at the scene.
Several people wanted to cry a little.
There are so many people in the world, not everyone is handsome and beautiful, there are more ordinary people and "ugly" people.
This society is a society that values appearance. If you don't have a beautiful appearance, you will not be confident in front of the person you like, and you will hide behind when taking a photo.
Everyone fantasizes about getting a beautiful face, but the reality is cruel. Some things are destined and cannot be easily changed.
Until the artificial man appeared.
Some people go crazy for a face, peeling their skin and cutting their bones again and again to try to have a good-looking face.
Even so, this road is difficult to take, because it costs money and life.
The mood of the song continues to progress, and the voice of the ugly monster begins to become intense.
"Ugly, weirdo, can you please not turn on the lights?
The love I want is haunting the dark stage.
Ugly, weirdo, in this ambiguous era,
My existence is like an accident..."
The unwillingness and resentment in Kevin Shen's voice were vented in his singing.
In his passionate voice, the waves surged, telling his story.
The whole audience was silent.
Then it boiled.
The guests looked at each other.
Zhao Lei was a little surprised, "In this song, the ugly guy's emotions are too abundant."
"Some parts of his singing trembled, and he didn't perform well."
"It seems like he is singing his own experience."
"I thought of the song "I am ugly, but I am gentle", which is equally emotional and classic."
The audience talked a lot.
On the stage, Kevin Shen's singing continued.
The lights were dim, and the white mask seemed to be mocking himself, as if mocking something.
"Ugly, in fact, it's not surprising to see it too often.
Go high and step hard.
The vulnerable whiteness,
Ugly, this is our era,
I don't exist, that's a surprise..."
The piano sounded and "Ugly" ended.
The lights came on, and Kevin Shen bowed.
The audience was quiet for a while, and soon there was warm applause.
Then someone shouted "Ugly".
"Come on, ugly!"
Even some female audience members stood up.
"Ugly, I love you!"
"Ugly, you are the most handsome!"
"Come on!"
On the stage, Kevin Shen bowed again.
Last time on the stage of The Voice of China, he also achieved this effect with a song "I am ugly, but I am gentle".
Touching and relief intertwined in his heart, and finally crushed the little bit of inferiority ruthlessly.
Yes, there are people who like Kevin Shen.
"Is this a new song?"
"Absolutely, all songs that have not been heard are new songs."
In the guest seats, Zhao Lei began to ask questions.
"Is this song a new one?"
"Yes."
"Who wrote it?"
"Nuoyan."
These two simple words caused an uproar at the scene. The whole audience was in an uproar.
"Fuck, it's Nuoyan again!"
"The Monkey King won the title of the King of Singers last time with two songs by Nuoyan. Is history going to repeat itself today?"
"Awesome."
Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment. "It was actually written by Nuoyan. Your singing skills are good, but when you were singing just now, you obviously didn't control it well."
Li Zhengyi raised his eyebrows: "If it was written by someone else, I would give it an eight point. If it was written by Nuoyan, I can only give it a six point, which is a passing score."
There was an uproar at the scene.
"Does Li Zhengyi have a conflict with Nuoyan?"
"I haven't heard of it. These two people don't have any intersection, right?"
"Didn't he praise Nuoyan's two new songs in the last episode?"
"What does he mean? Why did he give six points to Nuoyan's songs?"
The audience was immediately dissatisfied. This was Gao's special treatment.
