Those old-timers who are out of the loop
Recently, the "mutual scare war" between music critic Liang Yuan and the little ghost Wang Linkai has set off a wave of public opinion, the smoke of gunfire has not yet dissipated, and the victory or defeat has not yet been decided, but there is no doubt that after this battle, teacher Liang Yuan has already entered the "rectification of the base camp of internal entertainment" with his own skills.
I remember he said such an angry sentence on the show - just because I have been in the industry longer than you, I can control you!
This sentence is somewhat of a "relying on the old and selling the old", but it also tells the fact that if you want to criticize others openly and convince others, you are qualified enough, right?
If you don't believe it, the resident guests of the "Rectification of the Internal Entertainment Base Camp" are all seniors of the same top, such as Li Chengrula, Jin Xingla, Wang Hailin, and Ding Taisheng.
They are all old acquaintances of the melon-eating masses, right? Of course, even more resounding than the name is their "stunning" deeds.
1. Perseverance Ding Taisheng
Let's start with Ding Taisheng, who "started" on the same track as Liang Yuan, a senior domestic music critic, record planner, singer-songwriter, known for his sharp words, serving as a judge for all kinds of music ensembles all year round, and is well known for many famous scenes of singers, once angered He Jie, scolded Jiang Yingrong, and was severely dissed by VAVA at the spit conference, saying that he has no culture and loves to teach, saying that he loves to find singers to touch porcelain to get traffic monetization.
In the eyes of both the singer and the audience, he was once an annoying existence, but even so, his enthusiasm for criticism has not faded.
The jury bench of the music complex has not seen Mr. Ding for a long time, that is because people have already started a new stove in the field of short videos, and they still have their original intentions, focusing on the old business of "touching porcelain singers", with more room to play and a wider scope, Hua Chenyu, Zhang Jie, Li Ronghao, etc. have all been "shot".
It may be that the Chinese music scene is indeed becoming more and more smoky and miasmatic, and his style reviews have gradually improved. It can be seen how important it is to persist, turning around halfway or being weak-hearted, ignoring people's words and going all the way to the dark, you can become a model for doing my own thing and a leader in rectifying internal entertainment.
2. Specialize in the top stream Wang Hailin
Then there is Wang Hailin from the film and television industry, screenwriter, producer, producer, film critic, screenwriter works include "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", "It's All Born to Trouble", "Iron Teeth Copper Teeth Ji Xiaolan", is a man who has indirectly participated in the childhood of the 80/90s, and is a veteran practitioner in the field of film and television.
Therefore, Mr. Wang specializes in film and television, criticizing the chaos of "traffic influx and erosion of industry professionalism", who is it referring to? "Little fresh meat" bears the brunt.
Lu Han, Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Cai Xukun and Guo Jingming, who prefers small fresh meat, have all been criticized by him. The content of criticism includes, but is not limited to: the acting skills are collapsed, there is such and such a bad film, traffic fraud, people do not come to the set all rely on stand-ins and later stage, traffic stars and fans have an outrageously low level of education, and the inability to memorize the words leads to the screenwriter having to reduce the difficulty of the lines...
It is the degree of surprise and indignation just listening to it.
But like Ding Taisheng, "who picks and who scolds" has also made Wang Hailin questioned "doing everything to rub traffic".
Whether he can't see it, or is he focusing on rubbing traffic, the specific motive is unknown, it is certain that Mr. Wang did usher in a new turning point in his career when he reached middle age with a poisonous tongue, not only repeatedly fighting the top stream and its fans on social platforms and major programs, but also founded the film and television criticism program "Uncle Four Flavors of Poison".
In the scolding and being scolded, he has opened up a new world and transformed into a vertical opinion leader, from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as the same path as Ding Taisheng.
3. Like sitting on pins and needles, Li Chengru
Next is another film and television veteran - Li Chengru, an old performance artist, a crazy talk in "Big Names" directly attacks the delusion of consumerism, whether it is from the irony of the content, or the vividness and fun of the performance, it is still quite explosive.
Uncle Li has not played much male protagonist in his actor career, but in the first two years, he became the top of the uncle's circle with sharp comments in variety shows that competed in acting skills.
"Like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back, like a cattle in the throat", "Sanru" comments, concise and concise, deafening.
Seeing that the theme of "school bullying" was filmed as a light and shallow "high school students fall in love", he frowned and broke the essence - this is using cheap brushstrokes to arouse widespread resonance.
In the face of Guo Jingming's capricious selection criteria, it is even more positive and rigid - I don't like the style of "turning hands for clouds and hands for rain".
The sharpness of the language and the smell of gunpowder overflowing the screen are much more rushing than today's "Liang Yuan vs. Little Ghosts". Therefore, it is 2023, when this show is mentioned again, I probably don't remember what the actors performed, and the only thing that I remember is the wonderful scene of Li Chengru VS Guo Xiaosi.
Of course, Mr. Li is not just incompatible with Guo Xiaosi, in the show, he will equally point out all the people and things that cannot be seen.
For example, he once expressed his dislike of Chen Kaige's film "Wuji", euphemizing that the film is "form is greater than content", but he got Chen Kaige's advanced "yin and yang response", saying that Li Chengru is an old artist who lives and immerses himself in the old era and feels the sunset of the past, using poetic language to imply that he is conformist, old-fashioned, conservative and stubborn, causing Uncle Li's face to change greatly and he is silent.
Probably because he was not having fun, Li Chengru quit the show after recording a few episodes. Later, he was on a show called "Director Please Take Position", and then continued the poisonous tongue old cadre character, and the first issue pointed the finger at Bi Zhifei, although it was not as wonderful as before, but it was also a success and contributed the first topic out of the circle to the show.
I don't know if the next time Uncle Li reappears in the rivers and lakes, he will still be the image of an angry old cannon, but what is certain is that this kind of heat, with a little cooler, and to pinch out the spark to pinch out the wonderful, how the opponent's ability to return is also extremely important.
4, former entertainment industry discipline inspection commission Jin Xing
The final finale is Jin Xing, although Sister Jin's old profession is dance, but her own topicality and sense of horse grabbing have far exceeded her profession itself. You can disagree with Sister Jin's views and attitudes, but you should have used or seen Sister Jin's "perfect" emoji, right?
She has opened a show based on talk shows and interviews with stars - "Venus Show", in addition to the red sofa that can bring good pregnancy, the most memorable point is the "golden words and golden words" with its own guns and arrows.
Belive it or not, and a lot of gossip came from her. For example, the history of the "gangster professional" - climbed the big sister in the circle, obtained resources and became a hit, and then ruthlessly abandoned it. Sister Jin's narration, full of details and rich voice, is much more interesting than today's paparazzi with thunder and rain.
In addition, she has also criticized Xiao Xianrou for taking a high price salary, acting skills are sparse, and has ridiculed Han Xue's "three noes" principle, and also exposed the inside story of the chaotic process of the awards party, her words are sharp but her three views are quite correct, and she does not hide direct criticism, although there is a flavor of vegetable market quarrel, but it is already a well-deserved discipline inspection committee in the entertainment industry in those years.
And not only in the entertainment industry, the Korean customs who discriminated against Chinese and the flight attendant with two faces were criticized and satirized by her in the show. Anyway, Sister Jin's principle is that everything I look uncomfortable with and violate fairness and morality must be punished under my mouth.
But later, "Venus Show" was discontinued, and the straight-talking Venus could only occasionally show his legacy on the stage set up by others or in his own live broadcast room.
Want to clean up your entertainment? That's a high bar
After reading the stories of several "senior critics", I don't know how you feel, the deepest feeling of this bag - criticizing others is really not an easy task.
First of all, you have to be an authority, you have to have a little status, otherwise don't criticize, you fart I'm afraid no one will take care of it.
Look at the few listed above, but also a few who have been out of the circle by criticizing others, even if they are not big guys, they must be senior practitioners in the industry, they need to be long, senior, have extensive connections, and their status needs to be unshakable, on this basis, in order to form some kind of crushing on the small fresh meat on the power level, with the crushing of the power level, criticism can have sound and weight.
Of course, this is not a good phenomenon, when should the threshold for criticism be so high? Aren't the most ordinary people qualified to raise objections? The voice of the masses is so unimportant, instead of having a qualified spokesperson scold a few times before it can come out?
That's true, but it stems from another, more absurd reality – the rampant surging of traffic stars and rice circles is so serious that a strong enough force is needed to balance it.
Why are those top people who are not strong but can constantly announce and make money, because the market recognizes and can make money. Capital never makes value judgments and aesthetic judgments, even if you are as fat as Jiang Tao, but someone pursues you, you have more opportunities to show your face on a big platform and a big production, which makes many people who are unworthy or even unworthy have arrogant soil.
Not to mention that the fans of the rice circle are such a solid and strong audience, even if most stars do not really love them, they cannot change that it is their strong backing, and it is also the source of their self-righteousness and no one's confidence.
Therefore, in the face of the choice of capital and such a closed and powerful power group, ordinary people, gentle and flat voices, are indeed not enough to shake it, only some people standing at a height can pierce a sharp arrow, the problem can be exposed to the greatest extent.
In addition, the critic is old enough and has a strong enough background to have another advantage, and will not be bound by interests.
Don't forget that when Wu Yifan was in the sky, he was praised to the sky by the bigwigs in the Beijing circle. This is the reality, you can help me make money, can promote my career development, in fact, no matter how many times, I see that you will also be clear-eyed. Even if you really can't boast, then you have to endure not criticism, after all, you will have to mix in the circle in the future, right?
So why Li Chengru?
The side business is doing well, has long achieved wealth freedom, and the owner of the courtyard real estate is not like you little actors, relying on the director to eat. I said, it's a big deal to get up and leave, so I don't hesitate to mess with your gang.
Liang Yuan, who was in the limelight this time, also said that if I leave this show, I will not do music criticism, and I can still live well in the next ten years. There is a hint of arguing with the little ghost between the words, but it also shows that he has no worries - "I approve you will not have any big losses, so I am not daunted, I will say, how?" ”
It can only be said that rashness, straightforwardness and detachment require capital, otherwise, it is not impossible, but the risk price paid is higher. If I am a pure announcement artist, I rely on earning announcement fees to support my family, then I can't be too casual, and I will be extra leisurely when I say every sentence, because if I say the wrong thing and provoke the wrong person, I may lose my job.
So, is it enough to have seniority?
Of course not, there is also attention to the selection and specific operation of the track. Talking about gossip, revealing insiders, and calming the atmosphere is easier to win the support of the public, while talking about professionalism is relatively disadvantageous.
For example, who plays big names, who has a lot of pretentiousness, who always abandons it, this attitude and the obvious fault of the moral level, at the very least, will not let the fire burn on the critics themselves. I think this is also the reason for the popularity of the former "Venus Show" - "There is no dispute, these people just have a problem!" ”
But when it comes to professional discussions, it's easy to disagree. Acting is okay, fake is fake, embarrassing is embarrassing, the voice table is not good, ordinary audiences can see one or two, after all, expressing all emotions with glaring eyes, acting collapse and roaring as much as possible This kind of acting hard wound is difficult to cover up through technology and editing.
But in the field of singing, there are more doorways, and what music critics hear on the spot and what we hear across the screen may be so large that it seems to be not a work, which makes it easy for everyone to be unable to agree with each other's judgments.
Moreover, listening to songs is a matter of opinion: you admire the elegant, I prefer the vulgar; You hate the high notes, I think that's the real singing; You focus on technique and emotion, and I want to open a saliva song to relax my nerves.
Therefore, in the eyes of the audience, the boundaries between the so-called music critics, criticism and stubble are relatively blurred, and their professionalism is also diluted a lot in various information gaps and aesthetic differences.
In addition, there is another key point: the acceptance and recognition of professions that make a living from criticism are not so high in China.
Whether music critics or film critics, a sentence of "you can do it" can instantly cut their momentum by half. This is why Li Chengru's criticism was more convincing than music critics back then-"People have also been to the battlefield and carried guns, why can't they guide the soldiers?" Some people seem to only have the ability to use their lips, so why should people obey him? ”
That's it, Jackie Chan approved the small fresh meat, everyone nodded one after another. The eldest brother fought all the way by beating the flesh, but this gang of small fresh meat can get paid tens of millions of dollars after using the stand-in to breathe, which is unfair! Therefore, Jackie Chan's phrase "see when you finish" came out, and it was particularly loud.
As for music critics, I believe that they have their own functions in the industry, and they have more say in music than ordinary listeners, but whether they are the public or singers, they may not recognize their qualifications for judgment, nor may they be willing to sincerely and equally discuss with them professionally, but some people have bad tempers, and some people are better cultivated. Almost every time after criticism, the singers huddled one after another, which is enough to explain the embarrassing situation of music critics to some extent.
Therefore, it is obvious that compared with provoking emotions, it is a longer road to serve the public with professionalism and hold the right to speak with professionalism.
Finally, whether criticism works or not, it is also important to choose the right person to be criticized.
In the face of such an idol whose cultural quality and personal upbringing are very worrying, although Mr. Liang Yuan will be affected by the "low child and lower intelligence" and unfortunately besieged by fans, but with his advantages in intelligence and expression ability, he can still be at the peak of the public opinion field inside and outside the field, to put it bluntly, quarrel with a small fart child, our cultural people win steadily!
Driven by this sense of accomplishment, he can continue to move forward on the road of criticizing singers.
But in contrast, teacher Li Chengru is not so lucky, one Guo Jingming, one Chen Kaige, one brilliant and good at sophistry, one with a good exit and a small heart, all of them are hard stubble, all are cultural people who can quarrel more than himself.
Either it is easy to be bypassed, or it is easy to choke on the loss of speech under the personal attack of Yin and Yang Dafa, the second situation is particularly deadly, before there was an old artist to help, and then even the old artist stood on the opposite side, the whole one fought alone, and finally could only escape.
If you don't cause trouble, you are not afraid of things, you are afraid that you are also a cultural person who works against yourself, then if you are an old cultural person with status and qualifications, it will be even more difficult to handle. A whole rebound big move, directly let you hold out internal injuries.
So in contrast, Liang Yuan is much luckier, the little ghost, this bright and dangling thorn, will not "sell tea", will not pick up the shield of authority to forcibly cover the mouth, what reason you have can at least show it, what anger can at least spill out, and you can also get the cheers and support of onlookers. Even if you lose, it is a heroic righteousness, rather than leaving the scene sadly, much more painful.
In fact, I think that everyone avoids conflict in their hearts, but if they really want to fight, it is always a blessing in misfortune to meet a simple opponent who is strong in the outside.
brief summary
To sum up, isn't it easy to criticize others safely, forcefully and effectively? If you want to be a hero of internal entertainment, it is even more difficult.
To consider power, human favors, you need to know yourself and others, do what you can, and calculate how many people's emotions can be detonated, and what percentage of support can be obtained... It's exhausting to think about it, but it seems that you have to think, do it without thinking about anything, and be targeted by a certain circle of collectives, seriously, and even the channel for speaking will be blocked.
It seems that prudence in words and deeds is always the only way to survive safely, but there is a good saying that criticism is not free, and praise is meaningless. A world drowned out by praise is dangerous, breeding arrogance and ignorance, and leading to the stagnation of one person and an entire industry.
We always say that those critics touch porcelain and rub traffic. There must be no shortage of such people, but the truth is that when criticism is normalized, sharp criticism does not become a traffic password due to scarcity.
As a person who criticizes, you must keep your original intention, do not let the intention replace things with things, do not let the traffic business break the principle of right and wrong, when critics and onlookers feel the backbone of critics and the meaning of criticism, criticism can firmly occupy a place.
