Recently, the incident between "The Voice of China" and Li Min has caused an uproar on the Internet. Whenever I turn on my phone, the news section is filled with headlines about The Voice. This has continued to surpass the established variety shows of the past decade and now faces the worst crisis ever. At the same time, whether mainland music variety shows can block the last fig leaf at a critical moment has also become an important problem.
But it may be inappropriate to call it The Voice's dilemma. After all, it was not who deliberately hurt them that caused this situation, but the result of The Voice itself. Or to use an old saying: not not reported, the time has not come. Li Min was just the first person to pry open this door, and even without her, other stars will reveal the truth in the future.
However, Eason Chan participated in "The Voice" for a purpose, and he wanted to understand how dark the show really was. He has made no secret of sharing his experience. He was shocked that the trainees who had been eliminated reappeared later. What is even more bizarre is that the director's instructions came from his headphones, asking him to turn around. Although the student's strength still did not meet Eason Chan's standards, he still pressed the turn button.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the "rules" of this show that Eason Chan only served as a mentor for one season and did not continue to participate. Hearing the rumors of mainland music variety shows, even big names such as Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung did not dare to come to participate. In past interviews, people asked why they didn't participate in variety shows in the mainland.
Andy Lau also said: I dare not go, I am afraid that I do not have the level of a mentor.
Although the answers of these two heavenly kings were humble, in terms of strength and experience, they were also worthy of being qualified to serve as mentors. In fact, many netizens now understand that some variety shows in the mainland often serve the four words of "playing on the spot".
Zheng Zhongji also spoke unceremoniously about this issue in an interview. He mentioned the incident of Li Keqin's participation in "The Masked Singer", Li Keqin, as a veteran singer in the music industry, his musical style is very recognizable. However, when Li Keqin participated in the show, none of the judges could recognize his voice. On the contrary, on stage he was asked to act and make various exaggerated expressions, which was obviously in pursuit of high click-through rates, rather than a real display of musical strength. In fact, not only professional judges, but even non-professional netizens can guess that it is him when they hear Li Keqin's voice, and the professionals on the scene can recognize him at a glance.
In fact, in addition to Hong Kong artists who have seen through mainland variety shows, there are also many domestic stars who are dissatisfied with these shows. For example, "Venus", known for his poisonous tongue, once bravely said various truths in the show, and even successful people like Pan Shiyi could not cope with her words. Unfortunately, however, "The Venus Show" suddenly stopped broadcasting in 2017, because, according to Venus himself, it was because he was reported by villains.
There is also Yuan Li, she can be said to be the one who suffered the worst damage from the variety show group. When she participated in a performance variety show, she was fiercely accused by netizens that she had mental problems.
