Chapter 284: The Masked Singer Season is online
Cheng Cheng did it as soon as he thought of it. Before he even found an assistant to criticize, he started to criticize online.

He first criticized a female gaming anchor during her live broadcast.

And sprayed some place and made mud.

She also criticized an amateur netizen for spreading a tutorial online about how she bullied a delivery man and extorted money.

Netizens:

It's over! The familiar Cheng Cheng is back!

On May 5, Cheng Cheng accepted an interview with the media and appeared in the news that evening.

5 month 31 day.

He also accepted interviews from many news media outlets, talked about his experience winning the Cannes Awards, and chatted and laughed with reporters and hosts.

6 month 1 day.

Cheng Cheng attended a lecture at Teikyo Film Academy.

Early in the morning, Teikyo Film Academy hung a banner: Teikyo Film Academy warmly welcomes the well-known director and outstanding actor Mr. Cheng Cheng to visit and hold a wonderful lecture.

It is not uncommon for famous directors and actors to come to the Film Academy to give lectures. Lü Zhuofeng, Gong Guangming, and Tang Ping have all given lectures. But it has never happened before that such a young director has come to the Imperial Film Academy to give a lecture.

In terms of age, Cheng Cheng is 22 years old this year, younger than many students in school, but he is already a successful director and a tycoon who influences the situation in the entertainment industry.

As soon as he got off the car, Cheng Cheng was warmly received by the president and teachers of Teikyo Film Academy. They shook hands with him one by one, and some female students came up to give Cheng Cheng flowers. After the greetings, a group of people walked through the campus.

Students coming and going took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and security guards maintained order at the scene.

"Look! Cheng Cheng is coming to our school!"

"Where is it, where is it, where is it?"

"Jump up and see!"

"Are you kidding? You really invited us?!"

"Let me see it, let me see it!"

"Great! Diying did a great job. If Cheng Cheng takes a fancy to us, we will soar to the sky! That's how Senior Sister Yan Gou'er became famous. Now Senior Sister Yan Gou'er has become a top star."

"That's right. Shinhwa is the company that's best at promoting people. Many seniors go to Shinhwa after graduation."

"And the myth is very clean, there are no hidden rules!"

Cheng Cheng, surrounded by school leaders and teachers, came to the lecture classroom.

The seats are already full. This is a tiered classroom that can accommodate about a hundred people. These students are carefully selected by the teachers. The teachers also have their own selfish desires and hope that their beloved students can be noticed by Cheng Cheng.

The first and second rows are reserved for the principal and teachers.

There were also reporters and school staff on site who were recording videos and audios.

After the principal and teachers sat down, a host walked onto the stage and said, "It is a great honor to have Director Cheng Cheng come to our Teikyo Film Academy to give a lecture."

After a long-winded talk, the lecture began.

Cheng Cheng was the main speaker and he also specially prepared a PPT to talk about what acting is.

As a great director, he has absorbed so many gift packages of movies and TV series. Among them, each gift package contains the director's experience and knowledge in training each character.

You have to know that it’s every one of them!

A TV series probably has hundreds of important characters, and a movie probably has a dozen or twenty important characters.

And how many movie and TV series gift packages has Cheng Cheng received now?

No less than 30!
In other words, there are more than five or six hundred ways of interpreting roles stored in his mind, a number that many directors cannot achieve in their lifetime. The interpretation methods of so many roles stored in his mind constitute Cheng Cheng's extraordinary understanding of acting.

Therefore, when he started talking about acting seriously, many teachers at the scene were shocked.

Moreover, Cheng Cheng's acting skills are practical, representing the authoritative interpretation of acting in the current domestic entertainment industry, which is not comparable to the theoretical knowledge taught by these academic teachers.

The students in the audience were also fascinated by what he said, and some even felt that Cheng Cheng explained it better than the teacher.

In the first row, school leaders were talking to each other:
"Principal, you made the right choice by inviting Cheng Cheng."

"It was really well told, no wonder it won an award in Cannes."

As he was talking, Cheng Cheng suddenly had an inspiration and performed a piece on the spot.

He first burst into laughter without any warning, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, after laughing until everyone was frightened and confused, he suddenly stopped.

Then he spread his hands and looked at everyone:

Cheng Cheng: “This is a smile.”

Suddenly, everyone was speechless.

It turns out you were performing your acting skills for us. I thought you were performing your acting skills.

Entering the interactive session, students in the audience asked Cheng Cheng questions. Of course, some also wanted to take the opportunity to show off themselves and make a name for themselves, but Cheng Cheng did not expose their intentions. The teachers of Teikyo Film Academy also fought for opportunities for their students.

"Director Cheng Cheng, it's rare that you came to our Teikyo Film Academy. How about this, we have an audition clip on the spot, and you can test the students on the spot. You can give a topic and see how the students perform." Cheng Cheng did not refuse: "Okay."

"Please give me a question first."

Cheng Cheng said: "Then let's have an anthropomorphic monkey, the monkey spirit."

The teacher was stunned for a moment: "Do both men and women play this role?"

Cheng Cheng: "There are male and female monkeys, too."

So, all the handsome men and beautiful women in the audience started scratching their ears and cheeks to perform the monkey act. In short, after they finished their performance, Cheng Cheng didn't say a word.

The lecture ended quickly and Cheng Cheng left the Teikyo Film Academy.

One of the teachers said indignantly:
"You want our children to play a monkey, or an anthropomorphic monkey, a monkey spirit? Is that possible? Isn't this really embarrassing? He is so good at coming up with questions, can he play a monkey spirit?"

Another teacher interrupted:
"Hey, Mr. Wang, please stop talking. Haven't you read Cheng Cheng's novel Journey to the West? The protagonist in it is a monkey spirit. Cheng Cheng is obviously using this test as an opportunity to select actors. It's a pity that our students are not prepared and can't perform well."

The teacher before opened his mouth but said nothing for a long time.

It turns out that Cheng Cheng had already given the opportunity, but no one seized it.

Such great opportunities were wasted.
That night, at 8pm, the second season of "The Masked Singer" premiered.

After a year, the second season of "King of Masked Singer" finally met with the audience amid countless expectations.

Last year, the first season of "King of Masked Singer" broke the variety show ratings record in recent years as soon as it was aired, with an average rating of 2.21% and a peak rating of 2.73%.

The popularity value on the Lemon Video site once reached 33144, setting the highest record for Lemon Video's variety shows in 2021. It was the well-deserved ace variety show of Tianxia last year.

The second season of "King of Masked Singer" which premiered this year has not lost its popularity, and its popularity value quickly climbed to 12893 after it went online.

The show also sparked a lot of discussion on all platforms. According to data from the Yunhe platform, within one hour of its premiere, it had occupied more than 20 hot search spots, and received widespread praise online:
"Ahhhh, my mask is back!"

“The quality has gone up a level compared to the first season, and the production of the program has become more mature.”

"It's much better than those stupid variety shows full of sweet love, quarrels, and shady plots!"

"After a year of waiting, it is finally back to save the variety show drought. The answers fed by major TV stations can finally be purified here. It still continues the basic creative line of "putting on the mask and taking off the mask". Here, we don't look at the past, identity, or fame, but only the singing. It is still the familiar two stages of competing for the king of singers.

The huge success of the first season has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for this sequel. The production investment has been increased, and the quality has been upgraded in almost all aspects, with more mature and sophisticated visual effects, a more gorgeous stage, and a more tacit and handy judging panel. The defects that were criticized before have more or less been made up.

Looking back, the first season was extremely popular from the beginning, and now it has become Fu Hai TV's trump card to compete with other TV stations. The second season carries thousands of expectations and is expected to create another glory with the original cast. I sincerely hope that Cheng Cheng and Fu Hai TV can stick to their original intentions, reject traffic pollution, strictly control the quality of singers, and strive to make the masked show a well-known IP for domestic music variety shows. I hope it will not follow in the footsteps of "The Singer" and "Infinite Voices."

"A truly conscientious work will not change the guests after it becomes popular, and will not let some people who pick peaches squeeze in. The guessing panel is the best. I like the wisdom of teacher Han Shi, the cuteness of Jiang Nan, the silly cuteness of Song Yifei, and even Zhang Qingfei's stubbornness. I feel very familiar when I hear it again."

"I'm going to give it five stars without thinking. It's just that flavor. In the first two episodes, I was really shocked by the unveiling of Jin Jingyuan, Mo Nanshi, and Linghu Mei. There are many talented veterans this time! The remaining three who haven't unveiled their identities are also very talented. Every one of them gave me goosebumps. 'Little Coroner Goes to the Big Points' is the king of the first episode, and it really deserves the title!"

"All the domestic entertainment monsters get out of the way, Masked 2 is here to teach you how to do variety shows??????"

"It continues the passionate competitive style of the first season, with a fast pace and strong strength. You can listen to six songs in one episode, which is really a lot. But the second season will never be as amazing as the first season. There will never be a person as talented as Li Huowang; there will not be Xu Lin who gets stronger and stronger with each setback, never gives up, and hibernates underground for seven or eight years, and becomes famous overnight; there will also not be Xi Xiang, who has been the second place for thousands of years and has returned as a king. But these are all innocent crimes. The first season has been enshrined as a god, and it is destined that it will never be surpassed in the entire history of domestic entertainment. But it does not prove that the second season is not good. On the contrary, the first two episodes of the second season are also very good. If it keeps up, it will at least be above 8 points, which is higher than most domestic variety shows."

"Ah, at such a young age, I already miss last year's Masked Singer. Li Huowang who loves flying kites, today I see the cocoon, my H key doesn't work, staying up late at night to isolate myself, it's so beautiful to think about it~"

"At least Cheng Cheng's move made up for it by writing a custom song for each singing king. Wow, this idea is really great."

"I can only say that Brother Frog is really tough. He is willful because he is talented!"

"This means that Frog's music library is not empty yet. Brothers, it's time to urge for a new album!"

"That's right, you have an R&B album, but have you released a rock album? Have you released a folk album? Have you released a rap album? Have you released an electronic album? Have you released an English album? No? If you haven't, why don't you hurry up and write some songs?"

"The Masked Singer Season 2" ratings update:
The average viewership was 2.43% and the peak viewership was 2.99%, which was even better than "The King of Masked Singer Season ".

The success of "The Masked Singer Season 2" extends a truth: when the program is running normally, you should not touch it. If you rashly change any details, such as the competition system, guests, hosts, and program style, it may cause the entire program to crash.

I won’t talk about negative examples here—I’m talking about you!
Didi is so stupid that it has launched a function that allows users to choose female drivers, and it also states "only for female passengers", meaning that female passengers can choose female drivers.

It is not known whether this new feature can work properly.

It's running fine, why do you have to add this new feature?

How female-friendly do you appear?
How smart and talented you are?

This function has not yet been launched, but it has caused a big stir on the Internet and caused some people to start boycotting Didi.

The funniest thing is that if this incident is viewed in isolation, it would be fine and not so ridiculous, but the huge success of Black Myth directly proves that the opinions of some female netizens are not that important.
