From thousands of empty alleys to everyone shouting and fighting, "The Voice of China" discarded the 3 major winning weapons and was scolded at all
Text | Grilled entertainment
"When there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent", the words of the famous French thinker Voltaire are most appropriate in the current "The Voice of China" program.
Li Min passed away unexpectedly, and the "The Voice of China" program team posted a message of condolences, but the comment area soon overturned, and Li Min's unfair past questioning the voice director team was mentioned again. No one could have imagined that this was just the beginning, and the nightmare of "The Voice of China" was completely coming.
On August 17, Li Min's previous complaint against The Voice of China was exposed, and the 9-minute recording content made people feel distressed and angry after listening to it, Li Min bluntly said that he was insulted on stage for the first time in 28 years of practice, and the "The Voice of China" program also became the focus of controversy.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the program group of "The Voice of China" issued a response to the recording as a malicious clip, pointing the finger at netizens, and the attitude was extremely arrogant and perfunctory. But the program team was quickly slapped in the face, Li Min's sister said that the online video was true, and more students exposed their various unfortunate experiences in participating in the "The Voice of China" program.
On the one hand, netizens are begging for an explanation for Li Min, on the other hand, the producer is dead duck mouth, in such a rigid situation, all walks of life have completely different attitudes towards this incident.
The mentors who participated in the recording of the "The Voice of China" program collectively lost their voices, and no one dared to stand up for Li Min, even Li Keqin, Liang Jingru and Li Ronghao, who recorded the program at the same time as her, all chose to be silent.
But justice will never be absent, trainee Li Jiajie was the first to stand up and speak, and Han Peiquan, Zhang Lunshuo, Cheng Qingsong and others also supported Li Min. As the incident intensified, student Xu Haixing also came forward to expose the injustice of the show, and more stars also chose to speak out for justice.
The two beloved disciples that Li Min protected in the program "The Voice of China 2022" finally plucked up their courage, and trainee Wang Zepeng sent out a 17-minute video related to Li Min's mentor to respond to explain what happened that day. Trainee Zhou Feige also posted an article admitting that he was sorry for his mentor Li Min, and the good voice trainee Yang Can posted Li Min's chat voice before his death, and Li Min's help and encouragement to his juniors can be seen between the lines.
Li Min's friend Zhen Ni bombarded "The Voice of China", bluntly saying that "everyone who participates in the recording of The Voice lacks conscience, and will do anything for fame and fortune, even if peers insult their own duties, look down on them!" ”
Han Hong, who has always been very righteous, also came forward, and she hoped that the competent authorities could investigate the incident. In addition, stars such as Jin Xing, Xiao Huangqi, and Le Jia also spoke up for Li Min.
Seeing that Li Min's controversial recording incident could not be covered, Zhejiang Radio and Television Group had to issue an explanation to explain. However, the entire statement avoided the important and avoided talking about the substantive issues of the program that the audience was concerned about.
The fourth episode of "The Voice of China 2023" was broadcast online as usual, and it easily won a satellite TV ratings championship. Canxing Culture insiders said in an interview that "The Voice of China 2023" will be broadcast and recorded as usual, and the relevant competent units fully affirmed "The Voice of China", and Canxing Culture will give back to the audience and society with high-quality works.
The producer of "The Voice of China" is still full of confidence, the main pig is not afraid of boiling water, as everyone knows, the show has long become a grasshopper after the fall, this time the controversial incident has long hurt the vitality of the program, the lost reputation can not be saved completely, and the backlash against the show has just begun.
The stock price of the parent company of "The Voice of China" continued to plummet, a radio station in Changchun announced that it would never cooperate with "The Voice of China", the program sponsors were also boycotted by netizens, the Voice host Hua Shao Comment Area fell, and The Voice mentor Na Ying and her sister Na Xin became the target of everyone.
Na Ying recently announced his withdrawal from the Shanghai station of the Spring Wave Music Festival, the reason given by the organizers was that Na Ying was not in good health, and netizens in the comment area bluntly said that Na Ying was afraid to show up for fear of being scolded.
As a veteran mentor of The Voice, Na Ying has had a smooth ride in the show for many years, and has also brought out many champion trainees, and the various events in The Voice, as a mentor, she really can't get rid of it. Now Na Ying is the first to bear the brunt, and those mentors who cooperate with the performance will not escape the backlash of public opinion.
11 years ago, "The Voice of China" created a crowded scene after it was launched, and the program once became the hottest variety show in China, and even Hunan Satellite TV's ace program was difficult to shake its supremacy.
"The Voice of China" was crowned king when it appeared, it not only became a mentor such as Na Ying, Yang Kun, Yu Chengqing, etc., but also allowed a group of grassroots students to achieve a counterattack in life, including Liang Bo, Zhang Bichen, Jike Junyi, Zhou Shen, Shan Yichun and a large number of high-quality singers on the stage, becoming an indispensable good voice in the Chinese music scene.
Why did such an ace show change from an empty alley to everyone shouting and fighting? In the author's opinion, the program producer has lost the three magic weapons for the success of the program - grassroots spirit, fairness and justice, and good voice.
The first is the grassroots spirit.
The reason why "The Voice of China" is more attractive than other music mixes and talent shows is that its core competitiveness lies in the grassroots spirit. Most of the contestants in the show are from grassroots families, and their singing and stories are equally captivating.
Grassroots trainees counterattack on the stage, and it is easier for ordinary people to substitute into it and empathize with the contestants. "The Voice of China" has become a stage for grassroots singers to dream up, which is why the show can have such a thick mass base.
Unfortunately, as the program progresses, grassroots singers begin to be overwhelmed by Internet celebrities, back pot meat and other contestants, and those students standing on the blind audition stage often fight no longer for voice, but for appearance, topics, and capital, and the good voice program has lost its due mass base.
The second is fairness and justice.
The unique magic of "The Voice of China" is the 4 swivel chairs on the mentor's seat, which actually represents the fair and just selection criteria of the program, regardless of appearance and origin, the mentor only chooses whether to turn around through the voice, and the voice is the basis of all judgments, which is why the audience likes to chase the show.
However, this swivel chair gradually changed its taste, and the exposure of the "transfer fee" made the fairness and justice of the show a joke. A singing competition genre, once the competition loses its due judging standards, then the suspension is getting closer and closer.
Na Ying's sentence "I'm sorry Zhou Shen, I still like Li Wei" is memorable, Yao Beina is obviously talented, but after all, she can't get a good ranking. The reason why Li Min is so angry is because everyone can see that Zhou Feige sings better than everyone else, but he doesn't give you a chance to advance at all.
Mentor Pan Weibai's swivel chair is suspected to rotate by himself, musician Liang Fan is obviously more prominent, and mentor Xue Zhiqian just doesn't choose him. Such cases abound, hard power is no longer an important weight for promotion, and capital begins to change the outcome of the game.
With the explosion of the "The Voice of China" program, the Good Voice Trials in various regions are in full swing, this low-level selection competition directly lowers the level of the program, most of the contestants have become cannon fodder, the brand of the program is constantly damaged, and the audience's antipathy to the program is increasing day by day.
Finally, the good voice.
The reason why the "The Voice of China" program can be out of the circle is because the program has indeed sent a large number of excellent singers to the Chinese music scene, and their strength can be beaten and can withstand the scrutiny of time.
Today's "The Voice of China", the mentors began to become the protagonists, they incarnated as Oscar actors and actresses on stage, did their best to perform, created topics and heat for the show, and the contestants became supporting roles, the really powerful good voice may not necessarily be able to get popularity, but some Internet celebrity topic contestants have become key training objects, these students debuted at the peak, and soon became amateurs after the show.
The "The Voice of China" program also wanted to break through and innovate, but it obviously went off track, opened the original track, and a large number of inferior original songs appeared, resulting in the stage works left by the program not being seen, and the communication power was greatly reduced.
The original track didn't work, so I started singing and dancing, but it was still a chicken rib. Abandoning the 3 words of "The Voice" and making a fuss in other innocuous links, the show is gradually moving away from The Voice.
The controversy surrounding "The Voice of China" is still fermenting, and many people are waiting for a reasonable explanation from the program group. "The Voice of China" has completely gone astray over the years, contrary to the original intention of doing the show, so everyone shouts and beats are not unjust.
