With concerts all over the country, Wu Bai has become a frequent guest on Weibo hot searches recently.

Wu Bai's hot searches are almost the same reason, that is, as the protagonist, Wu Bai "closed the microphone" listened to the audience chorus, such a scene spawned many memes, such as "spent 1,500 to buy tickets, sang a thousand, Wu Bai did not sing", "Wu Bai teacher mainly plays a role in styling", these terriers make Wu Bai's concert have a stronger topicality, spreading from the discussion in the fan circle to the larger young people market outside the circle.

The most interesting point of this sudden flow is that Wu Bai "stumbled" in the concert but won the love of fans, which is in stark contrast to the lack of complaining and singing by a head singer at concert last year, which may also make people sigh that the same life is different.

Why is Wu Bai okay if he doesn't sing?

It is common to sing along with the music of their favorite singers, and many singers are happy to hand the microphone to the audience as part of the interaction of the performance, but it is still rare for the song to be completed by the audience almost completely, because it will inevitably be seen as perfunctory to the paying audience.

But Wu Bai's concert was a different story.

In Wu Bai's concert tour this year, he did not have many opportunities to sing solo by himself. For example, once Wu Bai said on the stage "Please be quiet, listen to me", the audience will answer, "Hear you say, the rising sun rises and sets" (from Wu Bai's song "Sudden Self"), it can be said that in Wu Bai's concert, Wu Bai does not have much "right to speak", and the fans in the audience are too enthusiastic about singing.

Not only did the audience sing the entire song chorus, but even Wu Bai did not have the opportunity to let fans hear the sound of the voice, and eagerly signaled "to me, it's me" with his fingers, this scene was also made into a GIF by netizens to spread on the Internet, which also increased the closeness and funny sense between Wu Bai's concert and the audience.

More famously, after this year's Zhengzhou concert, all the performers on stage left, but the audience was reluctant to leave, and the audience spontaneously sang "Norwegian Forest" without Wu Bai's accompaniment, a scene that would have touched even if it was not Wu Bai's fans.

To be able to drive the chorus of the audience, it must be that the song is catchy and singing, which is what most concert-level singers can do, but to the level of interaction of Wu Bai's concert, the threshold is obviously much higher.

In the first few years of his debut, Wu Bai's performance scene had already appeared in the whole chorus, Zhang Peiren recalled, originally he did not understand Wu Bai, who exceeded the definition of general pop music at that time, until he saw his scene: "When I put all this aside, I found that I began to knock on the table with wine bottles like everyone else, began to shout and sing together, and I began to understand different things." ”

At that time, when the publicity of artists mainly relied on TV variety shows, Wu Bai chose to abandon traditional media, changed to ten concert tours across Taiwan, and promoted Wu Bai as "King of Live" on the radio, and the slogan of the king of the scene, as more and more people watched Wu Bai's performances, gradually became his own label.

Wu Bai's scene is alive, slightly messy long hair, rough voice, hissing songs with a serious Min accent, Wu Bai's performance is always full of infectious power, which will make the people who come to the scene unconsciously sing along with it.

At the same time, Wu Bai's music can always sing the feelings of ordinary people and small people, simple but poetic lyrics, catchy melodies, so that most of Wu Bai's songs can easily achieve emotional resonance with the audience. This also makes the audience always want to vent all kinds of emotions with the person on the stage by singing it, and be presumptuous.

It should be said that Wu Bai's audience walked into the concert scene, the purpose is not just to listen to their favorite singers sing and meet idols, they are looking for a scene where they can let themselves go with their hearts, and can release the other side of themselves in their restrained life.

Therefore, Wu Bai on the stage singing or not singing is not so important, the important thing is that they can simply and easily be themselves in that space and that time, and Wu Bai standing on the stage is always dashing, and what he has been doing is a scene full of vitality, and this kind of two-way rush has the scene of today's hot circle.

Only everyone can be themselves

Is a good concert?

At the same time that Wu Bai's concert became popular on the Internet because fans became the protagonists, a speech by Soda Green lead singer Wu Qingfeng sparked discussion again. Recently, Soda Green lead singer Wu Qingfeng mentioned his fear of performing "mobile phone sea" in a casual chat sharing his personal performance status on Weibo, just when young people were praising Wu Bai's concert fans for being "wanton", Wu Qingfeng's words undoubtedly made him the target of accusation.

But in our opinion, there is not only one form of concert, and the scene that allows fans to listen carefully is also worthy of respect.

After mobile phones became a must-have for almost everyone, taking photos and videos became the most common form of souvenirs. Especially in concerts where you can see idols directly, shooting a performance video is an act that many people think is "natural", and even gradually formed a video content form such as "direct shooting". However, in fact, filming performances without permission is indeed suspected of infringement, which is why many concert tickets are written as prohibited filming.

Wu Qingfeng believes that the performers have put a lot of effort into the performance on stage, and hopes that these careful preparations can be seen and felt by the audience offstage, rather than disturbed by a small screen. Therefore, in every performance of Wu Qingfeng and his team Soda Green, filming is clearly prohibited, which is a rule that people who are willing to pay to enter the venue need to follow, as Wu Qingfeng said in the article, if you do not accept such rules, you can not buy tickets.

However, it is obvious that Wu Qingfeng's views are in conflict with the current ideas of many people, which has also led many people to accuse Wu Qingfeng of "hypocrisy", and even rises to the level of "don't come to make mainland money".

Indeed, a scene where music fans like Wu Bai can sing without scruples will make many people feel cordial, the performers on the stage are not high, and everyone expresses their emotions in an equal way of singing, which will be very infectious. But the concert is not only one form, there is not only one type of people who enter the music scene, some people will be infected by the chorus of the whole audience in Wu Bai, and there will be people who listen carefully to the singer sing a song can be remembered in their hearts, each demand has a meaning, and the diversity of the live atmosphere means the health of the performance market.

The performance scene can be said to be the best channel for musicians to communicate with the audience, and the atmosphere of the scene is only a means to promote more effective communication, and what kind of live style cannot be used as a basis for judging the superiority of the performers. In this year's hot concert market, music fans have enjoyed multiple stage performances, which is a good thing, but the value of diversity cannot be ignored because of different views, and the market allows rich and diverse stage performances to inspire more creators to bring us excellent musical works and stage works.
