On the evening of October 13, the first episode of the fourth season of "Masked Singer Guess Guess" was premiered on Jiangsu Satellite TV. In this variety show that is masked singing, the singers who sing on stage all wear masks, so that the audience can temporarily ignore who they are and focus only on the singer's voice and music. This kind of fun has also won great recognition from the audience. However, the quality of the contestants' masks is uneven, and the problem of masks is once again very ugly in the first episode of the fourth season.

In the first episode, Miss Mosquito and Brother Xiaozhu will sing on stage together. Both singers have very ugly masks. Miss Mosquito Reels appeared on the stage by hanging the mosquito reel tray directly. The second senior brother, Xiao Zhu, is even more ugly. In addition to the poor quality fluff on the pig's head, this pig's head mask is a "sense stroke", which makes the pig's nostrils full of fluff, creating a sense of instant visibility of the pig's nose.

This mask shape method actually goes beyond the scope of stage aesthetics. Especially for the reappearance of the pig's boobs, it is obviously on the verge of ugliness. And the mask on Sister Mosquito is really not much better. A big mosquito lie directly on the mosquito repellent mask. The way of making masks with flies and mosquitoes lacks basic aesthetic qualities.

In the first issue, the mask worn by teacher Jiang Dawei was also in a state of four-dimensional appearance. Teacher Jiang Dawei wanted to make a theme of Simba lion, but the mask presented by the program team in the end was not the little lion, it was clearly the indigenous people of the primitive tribe. In terms of mask production level, "Masked Singer Guess Guess" is at the level of the small commodity market.

For variety shows, stage art is a very important link. Only by providing the audience with a more advanced aesthetic can it win everyone's recognition. At present, in terms of "Masked Singer Guess Guess", the mask lacks more sophisticated production intention, and the level of ugliness is far greater than aesthetics.

Let the singer wear a mask and sing, which seems to reduce the aura of the stars and magnify the singing itself. In fact, the singing of stage songs, singer style and stage art are complementary, and it is impossible to lack any link. Making the singer wears a mask itself limits the singer's own physical performance. This physical performance includes the overall coordination of the face, and the singer's breath operation.

Some masks obviously hinder the singer's breathing during the singing session. Whether you can sing with a heavy mask is a question worth discussing. Is the songs played in the program sung by the singer or after the later revision process? If the sound editing is done later, how can the audience be allowed to only convert the original music singers provided by the singer? If the sound editing process has not been performed later, it is the live original sound. What impact does the heavy mask have on the singer's singing?

"Masked Singer Guess Guess" has completed three seasons. The fourth season that is currently playing has also brought this show into a vicious circle. The singers' masks are getting thicker and thicker. The heavy masks have lost the basic stage art effect and directly hinder the singer's singing performance. Shouldn’t a truly high-quality singing program provide singers with a more suitable stage space for singing?

Obviously, this show’s gimmick is far greater than listening to the song itself. However, in the first episode of the fourth season, several resident guests were too chessy in guessing the stars. Especially in the last show, after the guests had guessed that "Brother Baby" was the nine-person talent show singing group, they still guessed wrongly, which was obviously incredible. This intentional behavior also puts a question on the authenticity of the show.

Of course, this issue of "Masked Singer Guess Guess" also has a place to save the scene, that is, the dressing and dressing of Patty Hou as the resident guest. Earlier, Patty Hou was also questioned by some gossip media for "no sense of clothing". This time, she obviously "learned her lesson" and made her costume an important focus of the audience.

When the mask became ugly, Patty Hou provided a rare bright color for "Masked Singer Guess Guess" through his own costumes. For song variety shows, stage art is actually very important. Art design that focuses on details is also a place that reflects the spirit of the show's craftsman.
