1. Wedge
On the evening of May 10, after intensive preparations, "Singer 2024" will be broadcast as scheduled. It may be that Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV are worried that they will not attract enough attention from the audience, and they have specially invited two singers from abroad to help the fun, and a number of fierce generals such as Na Ying, a local powerful artist, will broadcast live performances, such a configuration can be said to have whetted the audience's appetite. However, after a live broadcast, two foreign singers counterattacked and won, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest; However, our local singers played mediocre and became melon-eating masses.
Even Na Ying, a big man in the music scene, was nervous not to want to sing live, and she didn't play at a normal level at all, and finally won the third place. To be honest, the editor's understanding of music is also very coarse, and he doesn't understand any difficult and obscure professional terms. I couldn't even pronounce the names of the winners and runners-up, so I had to search online for readers: Chanté Moore from the United States and Faouzia from Canada were the first and second places in the competition.
2. Why is this happening?
I read a lot of reviews on the Internet, and there are all kinds of things to say, anyway, there are a bunch of objective reasons, which can be summed up in two situations: one is the theory of congenital insufficiency. These people think that there is a racial gap between us and foreigners, and that people are born with good conditions, and they throw us several streets away. For example, the two foreign singers this time can sing and act, and their appearance is high. The second is the theory of acquired disparity. This group of people thinks that our pop music scene is developing slowly and started late compared with foreign countries, so it is understandable that it lags behind others. In any case, I don't look for the reason from myself anyway.
Hong Xiao, director of "Singer 2024", once said that in fact, the original plan invited many well-known singers to participate in this show. However, as soon as everyone heard that it was a live broadcast, they immediately shirked it with various excuses. As for why we shirked, everyone understands: because we singers have long been accustomed to working hard with the help of some technologies such as sound repair and recording, we simply don't have the courage to go live and sing live! If you can use another means to achieve your goal, why risk going to the scene to be embarrassed? This is probably the real reason why we are lagging behind!
3. How do we defend our dignity?
After watching the first issue of "Singer 2024", the whole people are fierce. Some veteran artists even shouted one after another, saying that if necessary, they will be responsible for defending the dignity of the Chinese music scene. "I'm Chinese singer Han Hong, I'm going to fight!" "I am Chinese singer Ji Minjia, and I am willing to play on Hunan Satellite TV!" Jiang Yingrong said that if needed, she would immediately take the car to ...... For a time, the heroes are complete, and there is a tendency for the mountain rain to come and the wind is full of buildings.
As an outsider, if I were the director, I would invite the following musicians to participate in the show and tell them that it would be absolutely right to follow your daily style.
Invite Daolang and tell him that you will sing "Rakshasa Sea City" wholeheartedly, and use your singing voice to tell the current situation of our current music scene.
Invite Tan Weiwei and tell her that you will sing "Give You a Little Color", and cooperate with the older generation of Huayin again, so that foreigners can also experience our unique Chinese rock elements.
Invite Li Yugang and tell him that you will sing "The New Concubine is Drunk", so that foreigners can also know that we still have a glorious Tang Dynasty and a poignant love story thousands of years ago.
Invite An and the cavalry, and tell them to sing "Red Mountain Fruit", so that foreigners also know that we also have the idyllic love legend in the "Book of Songs".
Invite Huang Qishan, with your heavenly voice of "To the Clouds", to bring us to the vast and boundless rivers and mountains of the motherland.
There are too many invitations ......, and if you add them like this, you may not be able to write them all in one day!
I also hope that the next "Singer 2024" will bring us unexpected surprises, so that foreign singers can also know the rich cultural heritage of a great country!
