Since the launch of the Chinese version of "The Masked Singer", the program's ratings have climbed steadily, rising for three consecutive weeks and setting a record high. For the mask configuration of each singer, the chief producer Xu Xiangdong said: "Korean masks are only for cover, each of our masks has a story, are done according to the hearts of the stars, specially invited designers, what materials are used, breathable inside, whether they can sing or not have to be studied." ”
In the third issue of "The Masked Singer King", Wolf's Tooth defeated Iron Fan Ultraman by three votes, and was eliminated according to the format due to the cumulative three outs in the first round. Eliminated singers have two options: return to the stage to unveil them or leave the singing voice on stage and leave masked. In the end, Wolf's Tooth chose to complete the "masked journey" and left this inner monologue: "I hope to have the opportunity to return to the stage in a different way, and will prepare better singing to shock everyone's heart." In fact, before announcing the result, Yi Nengjing had already guessed and said that the wolf tooth was Ou Di, but the wolf tooth still did not choose to unveil it.
Let's analyze why.
Reason 1: Musical "obsessive-compulsive disorder"
Cancer's Odi has repeatedly claimed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. As a host, he is very concerned about the surrounding environment and scene, and can accurately grasp and analyze every sentence of the guests, and observe the compulsion even to the extent of calculation. As a singer, he does not want any flaws in his music, and each song will be played with a different player, in order to avoid the audience from feeling noisy and uncomfortable when playing his music with different players. Since it was his dream to be recognized as a singer, he would definitely want to blow the first trumpet loudly. Therefore, this time in the first round of "The Masked Singer" for three consecutive times, it is understandable that Wolf's Tooth is unwilling to take off the mask. He wasn't perfect, so he wasn't ready to officially appear on the stage of singing as Ou Di.
Reason two: still looking for their own voice
Because of his observational obsessive-compulsive disorder, Ou Di is very sensitive to the details of other singers' singing methods, such as vibrato. So he has a big problem, that is, he doesn't have his own style. Ou Di once confessed that this is also one of the reasons why he had no way to release an album before. In the first episode of "The Masked Singer King", Wolf's Tooth sang a song of Jacky Cheung's "Wish", because its voice was too similar to the original song, and it was not favored by the star guessing jury. In order to prevent Xueyou Brother from running out of his singing again, Wolf's Tooth boldly chose the song "Nine Children" in the second episode. His unique treatment makes the song less majestic than Han Hong, and more delicate and tender. Subsequently, Wolf's Tooth penetrated the heart with a song "Pegasus Fantasy" in the third episode, and the wild rock wind made the audience listen to the blood boiling. While every performance can surprise everyone, it lacks an iconic style. It can be seen that Ou Di is still groping for the voice that belongs to him, the self that is hidden inside. Wearing a mask, he can drop the labels of "host" and "new four kings", and more freely try new things and break through himself. I believe that the moment he really found his own song is the moment he chooses to take off his mask.
Reason three: Let the audience remember his voice
By hosting the programs "Saturday Happy Sky", "Variety Show Big Hit" and "Every Day Up", Ou Di has become a very familiar entertainment host. But because the audience is accustomed to the feeling of Ou Di being funny in these shows, they are less likely to accept his serious and serious appearance. However, wearing a mask, because you can't recognize ou di at once, everyone can further understand the "hidden version" of him through singing. In an interview, he said: "In addition to "Every Day Upward", I have a lot of parts that I want to let people know and want to share with everyone, which are deeper and quieter in life... In fact, I have a lot of musical ideas that I have always wanted to accomplish. So he chose to continue his masked journey, giving the audience more time to recognize, appreciate and accept his singing voice.
Reason four: prepare for the next counterattack
When leaving "The Masked Singer", Ou Di left such a paragraph: "I hope to have the opportunity to return to the stage with a different look, and will prepare better singing to shock everyone's heart." This sentence expresses his determination to challenge the singing stage again and his heart not to be satisfied with the role of Wolf's Tooth. Although the mask of wolf's teeth made him addicted, the final results did not meet his requirements and expectations for himself, so he hoped to return strongly "with a different face". If he unveils his face this time, the title of "wolf's tooth" will inevitably become a mark that is difficult for him to break through, affecting his future progress and development.
Reason five: "It's the same when you wear a mask"
For the competition of the third episode, Ou Di re-filled the lyrics for the song "The Fantasy of Pegasus", created the original "King of masks", and sang "I am me, wearing a mask and a demon, once brilliant and how, wearing a mask is the same, forgetting the past" expressed his true heart. Ou Di once said that leaving aside the achievements and fame accumulated little by little as a host over the years, he is the most ordinary artist. He is not tall, not particularly handsome, not big legs, not Oba, not ABC, and has no family background, taking off his suit is a passerby sitting on the side of the road eating instant noodles. However, the stage of "The Masked Singer" puts all the contestants on the same starting line, no matter how brilliant it was, everyone put on the mask. Perhaps, to prove it, he chose to continue his "masked journey." He is not "Ou Di" or "Wolf Tooth", just an ordinary singer who wants to complete his musical dreams.
