Music variety shows have always been an indispensable existence in the domestic variety show genre.
From "Superman" and "Supergirl" in ancient times, to the later "The Voice of China", from "Sister Lang" to "Phi Ge", the sound variety is varied, and the form is different.
They all have one thing in common, that is, the ability to make a topic and the physique of harvesting attention.
This also makes the music ensemble become fragrant, and every time a new music ensemble appears, everyone's eyes will be unconsciously attracted to the past.
Recently, Tomato Jun chased a variety show and was also happy, it was launched by Mango TV -
Time Concert Season 2
In the first season, Tomato Jun took everyone to see the highlights of this variety show.
Now that the second season is online, the rating has also risen from 7.8 in the first season to 8.1, and an 8+ score variety show must have its unique place.
This allows Tomato Jun to take you to see the three highlights brought to us by this music complex, a contrast, and the audience's two expectations for it.
Let's start with the highlights.
Highlight 1, the music industry bigwigs returned collectively, and the classic masterpieces shook the soul
Unlike other music ensembles, the second season of "Time Concert" is still about feelings.
In particular, it is not like some shows, which stir the tear ducts of the audience, but just find those music bigwigs who have been "missing" for many years, hand over the stage to them, and give the experience to the audience.
In the show, any few people can make the 80s and 90s instantly walk back to the time tunnel and recall their childhood and youth.
Just a few songs can make our souls shake slightly, back to those young and ignorant times.
For example: Adu.
Some people may not know what Adu's real name is, but everyone must have heard the saying "I should be under the car, not in the car".
Adu's voice is hoarse and his singing style is unique, and his singing voice is often filled with a melancholy atmosphere, which sounds very sad.
Especially today's Adu, his hair is already a little gray, when he stands on the stage of "Time Concert" and sings the song "He Must Love You Very Much" again, the original sad lyrics have an extra layer of emotions soaked in time at this time.
Since 2013, Adu has rarely appeared in front of the audience, you know, now Adu is 49 years old, and the song "He Must Love You Very Much" is a song from exactly 20 years ago.
I don't know how many people, seeing Adu, will recall their youth, sing Adu's songs like "worrying about new words", and experience the pain of love that has never been truly experienced.
Another example: Tian Zhen.
If we ask our parents, we can know that Tian Zhen was the real "queen of the music industry" of that era.
It's just that in 2001, after Tian Zhen angrily dropped the microphone, he faded out of the audience's sight, leaving many popular songs to sing in the market, such as "Cheers Friends", "What a Big Tree", "Wind and Rain Rainbow Sonorous Rose"...
Tomato Jun did not expect that "Time Concert" could invite stars of Tian Zhen's level, and her song "Persistence" on stage instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
Although Tian Zhen is 57 years old, her singing style does not seem to have changed at all, and the phrase "hugging you oh my baby" seems to feel that the era has returned.
As a former sister in the music industry, Tian Zhen still has a big sister's temperament, which is no different from the she we knew back then.
In "Time Concert", her personality is still straightforward, her singing voice is still sonorous, and the years seem to have left no traces on her.
Singers like Adu and Tian Zhen, many of whom are bigwigs in the music industry, are well-known music idols back then.
In addition to these two, "Time Concert" even invited Sun Yue, Liang Yongqi, Wu Kequn and other bigwigs in the music industry of that year.
The collective return of these bigwigs seems to be to bring our generation the topic of feelings and memories.
And their singing of their masterpieces and golden songs, every note, is cultivating our sentiments and evoking the throbbing of our youth.
Highlight two, appreciate without competition, this "no enterprising" and non-routine variety show stepped on the audience's hi point
The music ensembles we have seen before are often accompanied by "competition" and "PK", with songs and tears, laughter and separation on the stage, just like a large-scale cultural performance.
However, the homogeneous sound comprehensive planning makes everyone have some aesthetic fatigue and lose patience for the charm of the music itself.
This is not the case with "Time Concert", its rhythm is precisely "slow".
On the one hand, because most of the people invited are emotional bigwigs, their fame and singing skills have long been fully proven in the past few decades, and it is really a bit noisy to let them "fight PK" again.
On the other hand, "Time Concert" focuses only on "music", and in order to enjoy music, only the guest performs on stage.
In order to create a quiet and idyllic atmosphere, there are only guests who need to perform the show, next to the harmony and accompaniment band, no audience, no spotlight, no roar - the seemingly "no enterprising" and no routines step on the audience's hi points, making the music the protagonist of this music complex.
The show itself, like a group of old friends sitting together and talking, each tells his own previous story, the experience of his own work creation and the characteristics of music singing.
A few occasional jokes can also inadvertently amuse the audience, which makes "Time Concert" have a good atmosphere to appreciate the work.
And this kind of atmosphere, in the current fast-paced life, and the pursuit of stimulating experience environment, is very rare and valuable.
When the autumn leaves fall, when the night falls, when the birds chirp and insects chirp, will such an atmosphere and rhythm become the mainstream of the subsequent music mix? Tomato-kun hopes it is.
Because we need to "slow down" ourselves in our busy lives.
Highlight 3: The cooperation of old, middle-aged and young people, the songs sing in duets and singing each other, and the sense of experience is full
Another feature of "Time Concert" is that it not only invites the collective "missing" music industry bosses, but also finds popular powerful singers.
For example, Zhou Shen, who is very sought-after at major local parties, is a permanent guest of the second season of "Time Concert".
In the variety show, musicians who debuted in the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s are gathered, each musician has his own singing style and style, they collide with each other here, learn each other's advantages and strengths, and at the same time bring the best musical experience to the audience.
In particular, Zhou Shen's song "Good Spring Light" pushed everyone's atmosphere to a climax.
Among the young musicians, there is a Chinese male singer You Changjing, and a song "It's Dark" surprised the guests present.
There are also young singers Cai Chengyu and He Liangchen, and a "Drinking Song" let all the bigwigs present see the singing skills and vitality of the young generation.
Among them, some singers are well-known, some are not famous, some have achieved fame, and some are still climbing the ladder of their careers.
But for "Time Concert", it gives everyone the same opportunity, that is, to use the time of a song, show themselves, delight friends and audiences, and enjoy the beauty of music.
Next, let's talk about "contrast".
The biggest contrast in "Time Concert" focuses on several bigwigs.
Who could have known that they would be so cute in their concrete life and communication and so different from the public's impression.
For example: Adu, although it has been popular in the Chinese music scene for decades, Adu is still a social terrorist.
When I came to the show, I saw the "raw people" Zhou Shen and Liang Yongqi, and I didn't even dare to sit down and talk.
It wasn't until Zhou Shen reached out to invite that Adu sat down and talked about his experience.
Such an adu, we really haven't seen it in normal times.
Look at Tian Zhen again.
Tian Zhen on the stage, singing sharply, every breath is full of strength, but after coming to the stage, she panicked and found the "curtain".
It turned out that because of the equipment wrapped around his waist, Tian Zhen wanted to take it down, but he was afraid that people would be embarrassed, so he asked the staff to relieve his "discomfort".
After a long while, Tian Zhen continued to come back, talking and laughing with everyone.
Another example: Sun Yue.
Sun Yue's popularity no longer needs to be repeated by Tomato Jun, now 51 years old, she is more than half a hundred years old.
But can you believe that Sun Yue is still the "fashionista" who walks at the forefront of fashion?
From Sun Yue's outfit, we don't see a music boss who has been missing for a long time, but a beautiful girl who pays attention to fashion all the time and has a young mentality.
She tied the ball head and dressed up as a little girl;
After a while, she tied up her twisted pigtails and became a little girl.
Almost every episode of the program, Sun Yue can bring us surprises with her own style and outfit.
For the audience, this is not only an auditory experience, but also a visual enjoyment.
Sun Yue also told us with practical actions that a young mentality is really young.
Finally, two things to expect from the second season of Time Concert.
Looking forward to one, whether Leung Yongqi can return.
Those who follow the show know that Liang Yongqi left the stage of "Time Concert" after singing with her as the core in the middle of the show, that is, in the sixth episode.
In order to express her regrets, Liang Yongqi also specially posted a farewell.
To be reasonable, Liang Yongqi is one of the most existential guests in this show.
Liang Yongqi is the youth of many audiences, but also the "dream girl" of many boys, when she was young, she had the feeling of a girl next door, and her singing voice was particularly good.
In particular, classic songs such as "Fireworks" and "Love Affordable" are highly sung.
In "Time Concert", Liang Yongqi also sang her own "Coward", and after so many years, Liang Yongqi still gives people the feeling of spring breeze, very elegant.
This also made many viewers express their reluctance and nostalgia for her.
If there is any expectation for the show, then Tomato Jun looks forward to whether Leung Yongqi can return to the stage of "Time Concert" in some form.
This is also a collective idea.
Looking forward to the second and more "music industry bigwigs" to join.
In fact, in the first issue of "Time Concert", there were many missing bigwigs joining, such as Alan Tam, Lin Zhixuan, Cai Guoqing, Zhang Xinzhe and so on.
In the second issue, the guest lineup is stronger, the songs are better, and the atmosphere is better.
However, as an audience, selfishly speaking, the missing big guys who returned are still a little less.
In addition to Alan Tam, who appeared in the first season, and the few we mentioned before, they are Li Jiuzhe and Fang Wenshan, and Fang Wenshan, strictly speaking, is not a pure singer.
And Liang Long, in a certain sense, should not be a "missing" boss, because we often see Liang Long in many Internet universities.
Therefore, another expectation is definitely that singers like Tian Zhen, Adu, Sun Yue, and Liang Yongqi, who once represented the voice of a generation, can invite more.
And those songs that were once popular can sing more, which is the ultimate experience that "Time Concert" can bring us.
However, these two expectations, Tomato Jun is really a little greedy, because the show itself is already very good.
Hearing these songs, we inevitably feel nostalgic, feel that time is in a hurry, feel that the people and things that used to listen to songs together have gradually disappeared, and even have no contact.
But the ultimate goal of feelings is not for nostalgia, but for the present, for a new life.
Seeing these childhood idols living and singing so wonderfully, we should also have a very positive attitude towards our future.
After all, every day is a new day.
Every old song hides the meaning of starting over.
