It ranks first among provincial satellite TV stations in the same period, with a share of 1 times that of the previous period and 1.5 times that of the second provincial satellite TV station in the same period, breaking the highest ratings record of provincial satellite TV market variety shows in the past three years!
"The King of Masked Singer" has completely become a phenomenal variety show with a huge viewership ratings.

The national media is celebrating:

From "three-legged tripod" to "leading the way", "King of Masked Singer" awakens the Chinese music scene

"The third episode of "Masked Singer" has been updated, with a viewership of over 3, breaking the curse of declining TV variety shows, and music competition variety shows are once again watched by the whole nation!"

"The third episode of "King of Masked Singer" breaks the ratings record! The program has gained super high national popularity! "

"The King of Masked Singer" has gained great popularity and its ratings have exploded! A new benchmark for domestic variety shows! "

"The Light of National Variety Show! The new episode of "Masked Singer" has a viewership rating of over 3! It has set off a "Friday Phenomenon Night", and "Masked Singer" has brought music competition back to its true nature!"

From 2019 to 2022, it’s been three years! A full three years!
There hasn’t been a variety show whose ratings exceeded 3 yet!
Today, "The King of Masked Singer" finally achieved this miracle!

This is like a dream, unbelievable.

Today, elements from programs such as Li Huowang, Cocoon in the Cocoon, Masked Show, King of Singers, and Guessing Group have become popular in people's daily lives. Such discussions can be seen everywhere on the subway, train, office, square, and street.

The four sponsors of the show, Yaji Clothing, Vanshi Lauder Cosmetics, Guican Shampoo, and Yueyanxuan Beauty, also gained popularity to varying degrees, especially Yueyanxuan Beauty, which, due to its relatively small size, saw its stock price soar by 24%! Many domestic and foreign brands were drooling over it!
But there is nothing that can be done about it, because Cheng Cheng chose her!
People are just lucky.

If Cheng Cheng had not given his nod at the beginning, the small brand Yueyanxuan would never have been able to squeeze into the position of title sponsor.

Compared with the "lucky" Yueyanxuan, Fanghua Meiji is in a miserable situation.

As Cheng Cheng's reputation continues to improve, his popularity among the public continues to rise, and his status in the entertainment industry continues to improve, the sales of Fanghua Meiji, which has been targeted by Cheng Cheng, have been declining, and even many loyal users have chosen to abandon it.

Because it won't matter if you don't use it, you won't lose anything, and other cosmetics can completely replace it.

But when you use it to put on makeup, people will say, "Hey, why are you still using FANGHUA? Don't you know that it once attacked Chengcheng? This kind of company is terrible." In order to avoid conflicts, many people simply choose not to use it.

Because it is really troublesome to use it.

Even if sometimes others don’t say anything, they will label the user in their minds, such as not understanding right from wrong, not being the same kind of person, Cheng Cheng’s anti-fan, etc., and then gradually distance themselves from him.

Of course, the worst hit are brands such as Kunshan Beer, which mainly target men as their user base.

These brands are really stupid. They shouldn't have invited Cheng Cheng to be their spokesperson in the first place, because Cheng Cheng was still a young and handsome guy at that time. Hiring Cheng Cheng would not benefit their products at all, and male users would not buy it at all.

After Cheng Cheng’s failure, they were eager to terminate the contract with Cheng Cheng, hoping to get some reverse traffic.

But they didn’t expect that Cheng Cheng was wronged. Now that Cheng Cheng has gained the general support of the male base, Kunshan Beer has naturally become the clown among clowns.

When male consumers go out to drink, let alone buy Kunshan beer, they will feel unlucky just by looking at it. Not only do they not buy it themselves, they will also advise their male friends not to buy it.

Although brands such as Kunshan Beer and Fanghua Beauty are doing their best to eliminate the impact, these impacts are irreversible unless they can wait until the day when Cheng Cheng fails again.

"The King of Masked Singer" is not only popular in China, but also abroad.

With a total overseas coverage of over 2177 million and a playback volume of over 288 million, the cumulative number of online viewers for the third season of "King of Masked Singer" on the Lemon TV International APP was nearly four times that of the first season, and the single-day membership revenue hit a new high this year, up 4%.

The program also received collective coverage from mainstream media in East Asian countries, including dozens of foreign media websites such as Neon News and Peninsula Daily News. There were even netizens in the Peninsula discussing whether to have a local "Masked Singer", which seemed to be quite promising.

On domestic Weibo.

"It's been a long time since a satellite TV station has broken 3, and it's the little lousy Fu Hai station. The masked show is really a hit this time!"

"There were songs, promotions, jokes, and tearful moments. I kept switching between laughing, nervously clenching my hands, and wiping tears. After the performance started, the mic was fully open and live. The sound was not edited so well that even my mother couldn't hear the difference. I could tell whether the singing was good or bad. It was highly praised. This variety show deserves to be popular!"

"The ratings of 'Infinite Voices' have dropped below 1."

“It will only be higher next week!”

"That's right, next week is the singing king stage! A big catfish came late at night, I wonder if he will bring down Li Huowang."

"According to the current pace, if Li Huowang reveals his mask, as long as his appearance is worthy of the audience, he will be able to rise to the top immediately."

"I was so amused watching this on the foreign websites, hahahahaha. Netizens in the Peninsula are calling for a Masked Singer show in the Peninsula as well. In the past, we were the only ones who copied others, but now others can copy us too. Isn't this a form of cultural export?"

"Holy crap, is this true? The outside world has also noticed this?"

"Really? Why would I lie to you? This topic is very popular in Peninsula. Netizens in Peninsula and Japan all know Li Huowang."

"Reverse Tian Gang!"

The next day, it was Friday again, and the third episode of "King of Masked Singer" was updated!

This episode can be said to be the one with the most explosive moments since the broadcast of "King of Masked Singer".

First of all, the person in the cocoon was killed late at night! This shocked and saddened countless people. This was the first time she fell before the King of Songs battle.

Secondly, the singer who was supposed to sing Northwestern folk songs actually sang a Cantonese song late at night, and his identity was obvious: Xi Xiang!

"The Masked Singer" really invited a god-level singer;

Once again, when everyone thought Li Huowang was going to lose, he actually sang a Cantonese song and achieved a Jedi counterattack;

Finally, Li Huowang's performance was truly divine! His performance was truly amazing, especially the last five or six seconds of howling, which was like a god or a demon, and everyone was stunned!

“This episode is absolutely amazing!”

“God-like!!!”

"I'm shocked by what Li Huowang sang at the end. Is that a voice that a human can sing?"

"I just want to know, did the last sound reach D6?"

"It's definitely here! We have all the F6!"

"Li Huowang is so damn strong! He really has no rival at all!"

"Especially the moment when Li Huowang sat on the throne after the last song, I really wanted to scream! I have no idea whether it was a stage design or a spur of the moment idea, but I just think it should be like this! He is the king of singers!"

"Every episode of Li Huowang's performance is a god-level performance! His performance is so powerful!"

"Xi Xiang has never defeated Li Huowang, and even in the Fuyin song that he is so proud of!"

"This is the powerful confrontation I want to see!!!"

"What I want to know is why Li Huowang fought so hard with the man in the cocoon, and also fought so hard with Shen Ye who was stronger than the man in the cocoon?"

"I get it. Li Huowang has a 50-50 chance against anyone!"

"Oh my god, who could have guessed that it would be Xi Xiang who was there so late at night!"

"Xi Xiang is so talented. I didn't expect that he could sing Northwest folk songs, and he sings them so beautifully!"

“The song ‘Fukua’ is so awesome! I’m playing it on repeat!”

"Li Huowang's new magic is hilarious too. This proves that he has a crush on Jiang Nan!"

“They’re really good together!”

"Li Huowang's Chinese singing skills are top notch!"

In the following week, Cheng Cheng participated in the recording of the fourth episode of "King of Masked Singer". This time he drew a prize on the spur of the moment, sang "Moonlight Serenade", and won the title of King of Singers again.

Late at night, the person in the cocoon stayed, the spider web was eliminated, and the moderately rotten cucumber seedlings took their place. The three chose to continue to participate in the recording of the fifth episode.

On June 6, the fourth episode of "King of Masked Singer" was updated, with a viewership rating of over 5%!

On June 6, the fourth episode of "King of Masked Singer" was updated, with a viewership rating of over 12%!

It is a foregone conclusion that the ratings of "King of Masked Singer" will exceed 4.

At the same time, during this month, the special effects of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" have been completed, passed the review, and are scheduled to be released on June 6.

The editing of "Love Apartment" has been completed, and the special effects have been finished. It has been scheduled to be broadcast on July 7, taking over "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and will be broadcast one month later.

The casting for "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and "The Killer Is Not Cool" has also been completed. The vigorous national selection has finally come to an end, and each of the selected protagonists has become the focus of media attention.
6 month 13 number.

Cheng Cheng and Yan Gou'er and their group landed in Taiwan. The filming of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is about to start.

"Those Years" tells a love story that cannot be achieved:

The protagonists are Ko Ching-teng, Lao Cao who likes to show off but is always unsuccessful in love, Bo Q who can't stop having an erection so he's called Bo Q, Gai Bian who wants to win by being funny but always fails, and Ah He who is a master at stealing love in the fat world. These five people have been best friends from junior high school to high school and have always been inseparable.

They all have a tangled feeling towards the class beauty Shen Jiayi. On the one hand, they look down on this girl who only studies hard, but on the other hand, they are attracted by her beautiful temperament.
After the film was broadcast, it directly created the "Those Years" fever, and produced a series of "Those Years" themes:
In those years, we chased the stars together; in those years, we had a crush on the teacher together; in those years, we skipped classes, climbed over the wall, watched concerts, and yearned for XZ together...

The glory of being a movie star that Yi Yang Qianxi is creating now will be created by another person many years in advance; the terrifying traffic of Wang Yibo and Wang Jiaer today may be what's left over from the big stars who were born in the same year as him.

He doesn't even need to polish himself. His acting skills aren't terrible anyway. He just needs to focus on playing the role of a handsome guy in every drama, and countless good scripts will come to him.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

After getting off the bus, Cheng Cheng looked at the scene in front of him:
Dense and narrow streets, colorful signs, towering buildings, fashionable and revealing beauties, hurried suited people, coquettish voices everywhere, and congested roads.
This made Cheng Cheng deeply feel that this was the same Taiwan as in his previous life.

Yan Gou'er also got out of the car, stood beside Cheng Cheng, and looked up at him.

This was her first time to visit Taiwan, and she felt both unfamiliar and new.

Cheng Cheng said: "Don't rush to join the crew these two days, first feel the life in Taiwan."

"Yeah," Yan Gou'er nodded.

Her acting skills are decent, and she also hired a teacher who specializes in teaching Taiwan accent and studied for a while, but she has never lived in Taiwan, so it is difficult for her to perform the temperament of a Taiwan girl like "Shen Jiayi".

Yan Gou'er blushed slightly, looked at Cheng Cheng, and said timidly:
"Director Cheng, why don't we spend the next two days together and get a feel for it."

Cheng Cheng looked at her.

Yan Gou'er turned his head away.

Cheng Cheng: "But it's not impossible..."

Yan Gou'er clenched her pink fists and whispered "yeah" in her heart.

While the two of them were chatting, the staff behind them were unloading the luggage from the car, and some staff were communicating with the hotel staff. After a while, someone walked up to Cheng Cheng and said:

"Director Cheng, you can check in now."

Cheng Cheng nodded: "Okay."

After checking in, Cheng Cheng had a meal with the crew that day.

The next day, he and Yan Gou'er started their experience trip. The two wore caps, masks, and sunglasses, and walked through the streets and alleys, chatting with the elderly in the park; or sitting at a roadside snack stand watching the pedestrians coming and going for an hour or two; or pretending to be college students, visiting the university campus and playing football with the students.
At first, the two were a little embarrassed, but later, they naturally held hands.

After two days, I don't know how well the two of us got into our roles, but we had a lot of fun anyway.

On June 6, the crew completed preparations and the opening ceremony of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was launched.

This is the third movie directed and acted by Sung Cheng after "All or Nothing" and "A Little Thing Called First Love". Naturally, it attracted countless people's attention, and there were a lot of media present on that day.

After the opening ceremony, the filming of "Those Years" began that afternoon.

The actors have all changed their clothes.

In addition to Qi Hao who plays Lao Cao, several other important characters, Bo Q, Gai Bian, Ah He, and the heroine's best friend Wan Wan, are all young actors from Cheng Cheng Company. These roles are neither important nor unimportant, and are just right for them to practice.

Dasi was sitting in front of the monitor. He was Cheng Cheng's assistant and also the assistant director for this movie.

He asked: "Are all departments ready?"

"The lighting team is ready!"

"The prop team is ready!"

"The camera crew is ready, no problem."

"."

The senior nodded and said:
"Attention everyone, start!"

"Scene 1, first shot, first take! Action!"

The script supervisor hit the clapboard and the picture instantly moved.

The first scene is a classroom scene. Cheng Cheng, Yan Gou'er, and a group of actors have changed into high school uniforms.

The school uniform in the movie is black and white, with white on the top and black on the bottom. When worn on Yan Gouer, she looks really pure.

She has shiny black hair, fair skin, red lips and white teeth. When the sunlight shines on her, it seems transparent. There is a layer of white fluff on her earlobes and collar, like the white moonlight in every boy's youth.

Compared to Xiao Shui in "A Little Thing Called First Love", Yan Gouer's beauty is stunning when she appears in "Those Years"!

Cheng Cheng and Qi Hao walked into the classroom arm in arm, and both sat down from their seats.

The camera swept across several people and hit Yan Gou'er's face.

In the background, Lao Cao, played by Qi Hao, and Bo Q are fighting.

Wanwan leaned over and talked to Yan Gou'er: "Hey, Shen Jiayi, did you watch Rose Night yesterday?"

Yan Gou'er turned his head away: "Are you talking about the photo of the Infinite Canyon?"

Wanwan nodded wildly: "Yes, I think it's super scary, and I have goosebumps all over my body."

Yan Gou'er: "That story sounds scary, but that photo is..."

This was Shen Jiayi’s first appearance, and Yan Gouer shot it very well, so it passed in just one take.

Next, the entire crew filmed very quickly under Cheng Cheng's command.

Soon the first highlight arrived, where Ko Ching-teng, played by Cheng Cheng, and Bo Q competed in the classroom.

The original version of "Those Years" contained a lot of perverted and large-scale content. The original version was 110 minutes long. After being introduced to the mainland, 10 minutes were directly deleted.

Although these contents may be required to be deleted or modified during the review, Cheng Cheng still plans to shoot it and wait and see if it passes the review.

At worst, we can make two versions, one for Baodao and Yingdao, one for overseas, and one for the mainland.

Filming in progress.
The Chinese teacher was giving a lecture on the stage while Cheng Cheng and Bo Q were playing the plane below. The two of them were playing very fast, and their movements were like playing the guitar, with big and small movements. Lao Cao, played by Qi Hao, was timing with a stopwatch beside them.

The entire crew was very happy when filming this scene.

Then, under Lao Cao's trick, Bo Q's screams were heard by the Chinese teacher. She first criticized Bo Q, and when she saw Cheng Cheng laughing, she called out Cheng Cheng's name:
"Ko Ching-teng, what are you laughing at? Read it!"

Cheng Cheng, who plays Ke Jingteng, said: "You fight with one thought."

Chinese teacher:

"Stand up and read!"

Cheng Cheng: “It’s not very convenient.”

Chinese teacher: "What's not convenient? Stand up!"

Cheng Cheng stood up suddenly. One camera was pointed at his bare buttocks, while another camera captured the expressions of his classmates:

Wanwan opened her eyes wide, somewhat incredulous, and Yan Gouer frowned, feeling both disgusted and shy.

The senior shouted:

"Stuck! Passed!"

Cheng Cheng walked over and said, "Let me take a look."

I felt a little embarrassed in my senior year and was screaming in my heart!

He pointed and whispered, "Hey, Director Cheng, can you put on your pants first?"

"Oh."

Cheng Cheng casually lifted up his pants and pulled out the covering from inside his pants.

The senior finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Others lamented:
Director Cheng’s butt is so round and white!
