CCTV's "Voice of the South China Sea" concert, without a host, is still far more than the May Day party
On the second day of the May Day holiday, CCTV's grand and formal May Day party has not diminished in popularity, and the topic is still in the forefront of the entertainment editions of major social platforms. There are also exceptions, CCTV has prepared a colorful festival cultural feast for the audience and friends. After CCTV's May Day special program, CCTV 4 recorded the "Hear Each Other - Voices of the South China Sea" concert at the Sanya base of the main station, which was released to the audience at 7 p.m. on May 2.
This year's "Hear Each Other - Voices of the South China Sea" Concert is the third season, and the first two seasons are mainly in the form of outside shooting, and the presentation effect is exquisite and beautiful. The theme of the third season, "Hear Each Other", as the name suggests, is a kind of cultural exchange with music as a medium, and this form actually began as early as the 50s and 60s. To this day, we still learn from each other, not only listening to Southeast Asian music, experiencing their culture, but also making many of our things acceptable through music.
The third season of "Hear Each Other" has three highlights: first, the performance method has been changed to live live, the stage is arranged as a salon area, and the star singers can sit together and chat after the performance, and the communication atmosphere is very good. Second, there was no host on the scene, and the famous musician Xiao Ke played a tandem role during the chat. I've seen Xiao Ke sing, I've seen Xiao Ke being interviewed by others, and it's the first time he's hosted a show. Xiao Ke hosted a good debut, with topics, rhythm control, and voice.
The third highlight is that the producer's lineup of celebrity guests and the selection of songs have been carefully considered and repeatedly scrutinized. In addition to inviting senior musicians Xiao Ke and Cao Xuanbin from Chinese mainland, singer Ye Bei, and Taiwanese musician Hu Defu, there are also well-known music producers from Southeast Asia. Including Singapore's national treasure music producer Lee Si Siong, two young singers from Malaysia, Shamir and Kate, as well as Taiwanese singer Wenwen, Xiaojuan & Valley Resident (Xiaoqiang).
The star singer not only sang his own masterpieces, but also carried out in-depth cooperation and exchanges many times, perfectly interpreting the theme of "hearing each other". For example: Cao Xuanbin, Article, Li Sixiang sang the Malaysian song "Heart Love", Ye Bei and Shamir sang "Acacia Riverside", Cao Xuanbin, Xiaojuan & the residents of the valley "The full moon is good", Xiao Ke and Li Sixiang sang "It's Dark", Li Sixiang and Xiaojuan & the residents of the valley "Coward", all sang "Want to sing me to you" and so on.
Of course, the classic songs also include "Hometown Clouds", "Three Hundred and Sixty-five Miles", "Please Come to the End of the World", "Falling in Love with a Desperate Man", "Waiting for You to Love Me", "It's a pity it's not you", "Because of Love", "A Painting" and so on. The whole concert has a tight rhythm, the songs are arranged with a timeline, the star singers go straight to the topic, fully devoted, the atmosphere is very hilarious from beginning to end, and the topics of chat between the guests are all about the song itself, which is a high-quality audio-visual enjoyment.
Personally, I think that this is the May Day party that the audience likes and is willing to watch. Although there is no host, the star singers invited are all powerful singer-songwriters. No preaching, no nonsense, no showmanship, no forced upward pattern, no flashy outside films. Every song sung in the concert is carefully selected, in line with the public's aesthetic taste, and can resonate. The singer's makeup and hair are not bells and whistles, and the main energy is in the singing itself, returning to the original intention of the literary evening.
