Ride the Wind 2023, that is, Wave 4, has been online in recent days. Friends who have watched the show should know that this year's introduction of international sisters has a kind of creative camp flavor.
There is Vietnamese top female Zhifu, her Vietnamese fans and black fans chased all the way to the internal entertainment Internet, and also specially made a video black material collection, the first time I saw so many Vietnamese quarreling on the Internet.
There is Katerina, the third runner-up of The Voice of Russia, who came to settle in Chengdu, as well as Tang Bohu, a young American sister who has been on the Avenue of Stars, and Qiu Cerahyun, a well-known Korean sister.
However, the popularity fault is a Japanese player, you may not have heard the name of Mei Yi Liya, but you will know more or less a transnational circle-breaking work that can be called the most dazzling national style in Japan:
"Pure Land of Elysium".
Many viewers may not quite understand how she is red and where she is red.

Japanese and Korean idols have a common characteristic, generally speaking, they enter the industry at a very young age. Mei Yi Liya (hereinafter referred to as Xiaomei, formerly known as Mizuhashi Mai) began to be active at the age of 11, but did not "officially debut" until she was 22 years old.
There is a website in Japan that is very close to station B called station N, Xiaomei began to transmit works on station N at the age of 18, and it took 4 years to sign a contract with Sony. After becoming an official debut singer, she posted "Pure Land of Bliss" on Station N, and was soon discovered by netizens, her dance is very suitable for paper people to copy.
There is a special hobby in the field of anime and games, which is to sing or dance according to their own programming of their favorite animated characters, so "Pure Land of Bliss" was quickly changed into a variety of games or anime characters must dance singles.
The living cannot lose to the paper people, and the dance area up master of station B and the scissorhands of the ghost animal area have joined the dance ranks. Then, the artist also joined the cover camp, and there are not too many songs that can make Zhou Shen take the initiative to dance, and "Pure Land of Bliss" is counted as one.
Xiaomei's road to popularity in China can be reproduced to a very low degree, even in China, from participating in a singing group, to being selected by a large company, and then relying on online songs to become popular, and finally breaking the circle to the public group, it is just a few people like Zhou Shen Liu Yuning.
She can maintain popularity in the two-dimensional audience across borders, in addition to the pension insurance song of the Divine Comedy, there is also a point of special respect for the audience.
After becoming popular in China, she and her partner created "Taoyuan Love Song", using Chinese elements such as erhu and qipao to express gratitude to Chinese listeners.
Come to China to perform like a food blogger who clocks around.
Her kind of going to the countryside and not giving people a sense of serious traces that are deliberately posed. Eating dumplings dipped in vinegar also has to be pulled eight garlic, milk tea from a little ton to Heihutang.
I love liquor, often drink beer, and we Xiaomei are all white beer in private.
You must understand what you eat and wear, and keep up with your studies. In the program, Chen Bing taught her Northeast dialect, and she was able to learn it quickly, because she had been taking Chinese classes before, and even the context was set:
When fans looked at her, she asked, "What are you looking at, what are you looking at?" ”
But to say that friendship cards alone can ride the dust on the vote is too small for the Chinese audience. Can popularity fault, mainly in the subdivision of the industry, excellent ability.
The first stage showed their talents, why did she win the first place in the popularity fault?
What are the abilities of Meiyili Buds?
She describes her characteristics as "small, loud and energetic."
I have to say that this is a person who has an extremely clear understanding of his positioning, and "Gao Yuanqi" is indeed one of Xiaomei's highlights.
On the stage, you will find that whenever the camera scares her, she is full of spirit, super energetic, dynamic and never paddling, riveted into it, and the infectious power will naturally have.
Other sisters also took the "Genki" route.
For example, Chen Yihan, her face shape and body shape are very energetic, wearing a women's group uniform is a plus, and the Hokkien song "Wangchunfeng" selected is also eye-catching, but unfortunately these two characteristic elements collide together, plus their own vocal skills are not too good, it is better to choose a simple female group song to dance is more pleasant;
Similarly, Wu Qian, Wu Qian's popularity is really high, her performance I actually like very much, the musical style tests singing skills and testing interpretation ability, and the song selection is very bold.
But the interlacing is like a mountain, the selection of songs is still a little unholdable, the sense of vitality is not good, but it has become a kindergarten style, which is a pity, a pity.
In the Genki group, singing skills are dominant, but what about singing skills?
Several pop singers, Sun Yue's singing skills are not to be said, the state is very good, if "Everyone Come Together" can retain the original arrangement, it will be more inviting; Another singer Ella sings bass in "Lovers Are Not Full", and it is still a little difficult to sing alone, but the emotional killing tube is enough, and the 384 score is a little high, let's understand that the judges want to bet on her as Wang Xinling 2.0.
But before everyone's mind, Wang Xinling 2.0 was actually Xu Huaiyu.
You must know that in terms of the original voice conditions, Xu Huaiyu is not bad at all, if he sings "I am a girl", the sense of vitality and emotional killing is enough, and as a result, the civilian diva sang a song "Split Flying" weakly, and Xie Naqiang, who had not yet sung "Pineapple and Jackfruit", was really heartbreaking to watch.
In comparison, Gong Linna and Alin scored low.
The two fully open Mai sang very steadily, compared to Alin's thrilling sense of "rising from a tall building on the ground", Gong Linna is more relaxed, it can only be said that the judges may be the score of the taste preference of the song, relatively speaking, Liu Xijun's sense of Hong Kong style atmosphere is very accurate, worthy of being a person who has fought on the Hong Kong music stage.
As for Wang Xiaomin, Chen Bing, Xu Jingyun and others, the singing skills themselves are fine, the recognition is not high enough, and it is not impossible to lose to the feelings and favor cards among the sisters.
Pulling away, on singing skills, Xiaomei can not be regarded as TOP, but the stage performance is very stable, just like she said "loud", people look like a loli, the opening is the royal sister voice, the sisters present are amazed, "freshness" is enough for her to win over many people.
Let's watch the "jump" again.
In terms of singing and dancing, I personally think that Liu Yiyun is the one with the best strategy. The selection of Chinese song is sincere enough, singing and dancing are separated as a whole, to avoid too many dance movements affecting the singing performance, and can let people see her different explosive power in singing and dancing, it is really worthy of being a professional women's group player, and it is indeed reasonable to win the second place.
It's just that there are not many dancers this season, except for Lu Jingshan who takes the female version of Lee Seung-hyun's route, Zeng Keni and artist Xie Xin who love Doufeng, and Sun Yue, the queen of Han Feng, most of the others are standing on piles to output.
In this way, Mei Yili Bud, who can dance the house dance, is easy to eye-catch. Look at the house dance that Zhang Yuqi's group danced in Lang 1 before, and it also won a lot of otaku hearts at that time↓
Another point, for a show like this that requires stage competition, artist selection is important to skill buffs.
Actors and singers naturally have walls, but they can also open and hang when they find the right advantages. For example, Qiu Ceraxian and Li Caihua are in the same frame, the topic degree is paved enough, come to the original "Unforgivable" with の Attack, how to substitute it is with a feeling, and the little one must also go on 300+;
Similarly, Cai Shaofen has always said that he can't sing, but the shape and music of "Luoshen" are still full of memories as soon as they come out, and the beautiful and bleak Zhen Mi reappears, who is willing to let her be at the bottom?
And Meiyili Bud is superimposed with all the above buffs. The makeup and expression actions are all in place, the representative works are, the singing and dancing are not collapsed, even if the judges' scoring standards are a little lost, she can squeeze into the TOP10.
And the cruel "unspoken rule" of variety shows is that if (the program team feels) that a person has highlights, they will give more shots. The more shots, the more opportunities the audience has to learn about the stars and their people, and they are most afraid of being ordinary, and they go as if they didn't go.
The sisters may not be familiar with Mei Yi Li Bud, but the program group must have two-dimensional inner ghosts, you see the otaku dialogue between the director and Mei Yi Liya, which hit the heart of how many two-dimensional people outside the field
In this way, a stage ignited the memories of the otaku and killed the souls, and the young birds were gone, but Xiaomei sang "Pure Land of Bliss" exactly the same as before! The root of all evil! Off the field, she is also so kawaiine!
How can this be just TOP10? The fighting spirit of the otaku was ignited, and the love of passers-by was also there, and everyone voted crazy together, and finally brought her popularity to the first fault, comparable to Wang Xinling's miracle reappeared.
So, this is the trick of Mangozi, last year with Wang Xinling to kidnap middle-aged male fans, this year blackmail Xiaomei to make the second dimension?
Is it two-dimensional can fight?
Some two-dimensional fans will joke that "let internal entertainment see the power of our two-dimensional dimension", but everyone knows that this is just a joke, because there is Xie Na with a high national popularity in the show, and if she really relies on fighting the audience, Xiaomei is definitely not comparable to sisters like Qu Ying and Jia Jingwen who run through the audience's age group.
Being able to achieve popularity fault lines across borders, ability, two-dimensional labels, and sweet painting style are not the only focus.
Starting from wave 1, all the sisters who can stand out, if not the industry status itself is too strong to shake, then one thing is that the mentality must be very "modern".
For example, Ardor in the first season, although she has been out of the entertainment environment for a long time, you will find that her mentality is in line with the current mood of "cherishing the present"; Na Ying in the second season, she is the eldest sister in the industry, but she has "no old taste" from singing to speech; Wang Xinling in the third season is to engage her favorite little girl to sing and dance, jump to 80, and be a sweetheart grandmother.
Mei Yi Liya has been singing theme songs and ending songs to anime since she was a teenager, but Japan has a pretty clear line between anime singers and pop music singers in general, and places like the Red and White Song Club generally do not invite them, and if you can sign a good company, you may not be popular.
Moreover, Japan's cultural subdivision industry is much stricter than domestic entertainment, and many Internet singers and Internet dancers are very professional, and if they want to stand out, they must have enough love.
Mei Yi Li Bud is one of those who insists on love.
Before being a minor, the original group did not have much achievements, and after the disbandment, they still insisted on being the personal Up master, all the way to find new partners, sign companies, become popular, and turn red...
Once it is really popular, and it is necessary to face the problem of "professional vitality", many singers in Japan will soon enter the stage of sequelae of voice destruction due to excessive voice use at the peak of their career, and the company will push younger newcomers. Therefore, the singers and dancers who can break the circle in Japan are indeed the king of rolls, and many singers who dance smoothly open Mai Juwen.
may not be popular, to bet on youth, delve into such a relatively subdivided field as two-dimensional, and become famous and be reminded by age anxiety all the time. But she just wants to be a two-dimensional enthusiast in her teens, twenties, and thirties, whether she is underage, working or married.
If I have to say that there is anything in common with Wang Xinling in the last season, I think it is not the sweet girl label, but-
"No matter how old I am, I can do what I love all my life."
Sister E's epilogue
If Na Ying, whose rap voice keeps pace with the times, is the idol of her mother's generation, and Wang Xinling is the heroine of the idol drama she chased when she was a child, then Mei Yi Liya is actually not a "past tense", and it has not been a few years since she bloodied Station B and won the title of "Station B Drug Lord".
But in recent years, the domestic atmosphere has become closer and closer to that of Japan and South Korea: many people have seen the road to retirement from the beginning of the college entrance examination.
From this point of view, it is very similar to those pasty idols in Japan and South Korea who have been trainees in their teens, who are ignorant at the age of 20 and do not know what they should do, and who find that they have not done anything at the age of 30.
Mei Yi Li Bud is a symbol of "capable people are not afraid of a difficult future", her starting point is not high, but the all-round almighty honed in her 20-year love of singing and dancing. Many young people in China, whether they like the second dimension or not, at least agree with her style and persistence:
If you feel from the beginning, "Ah, there is no drama, the competition is so fierce, I don't have this life", then the moment you have this idea, you are already old. Ordinary people want to stay young, in addition to heavenly rewards for hard work, there is also unreasonable love.
There are many older sisters in the Riding the Wind and Waves series, and they come to the show to set an example for their children, or to challenge something new. For Mei Yi Liya, she doesn't need to do anything for others, just change places to be her own two-dimensional singer.
It's good to be young, to still love, to be able to play, and to still retain the right to "I do".
