From "traffic is king" to "business first", Han Hong's "war" has triggered a "new era" in the industry
Time flies, and now it is 2024, a prosperous new era, with rapid technological development and rapid information dissemination. The much-anticipated "Singer 2024" program is being broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, triggering a sensational "idol rescue" incident that has caused a sensation on the whole network.
Who would have thought that this square inch of land would become a place of competition between "technology and art"? The audience is eager to see the most authentic singing, but the industry chain has gradually reduced singers to the vassals of technology.
As the saying goes, "no one is perfect, no one is perfect", such a reality reflects some of the "unspoken rules" of the industry. But as long as we can break out of the cocoon, I believe that a better chapter will be written. As the old saying goes: "When the spring silkworm dies, the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry." As long as you persist all the way, you will be able to go to glory.

In the spring of 2024, the "Singer" program, which has always been known for its high standards, staged a sensational "master show" drama in the first live broadcast of the whole network.
The starting singer lineup can be called luxurious, including popular idol singers Rainie Yang and Hailai Amu, as well as powerful singers such as Na Ying, Second-hand Rose, and even internationally renowned singers Chanté Moore and Faouzia. However, the results were unexpected, and in the end, the performance of these domestic singers was not as good as that of the two foreign contestants. It can be said that this "self-slapping" performance has completely pierced some of the "unspoken rules" that have always existed in the industry.
never thought that the singing skills of top domestic singers would be so "inferior".
In this era of "traffic is king", there seem to be too many "obstacles" blocking their pursuit of authenticity. A well-known music producer broke the news to the media that many works heard on music variety shows have been revised, and they can't be enjoyed at all if they are not repaired.
Some musicians bluntly said that many singers are overly dependent on technology, as long as the recorded materials can be put together and repaired, they are not willing to spend time on repeated polishing. There is even a financier who directly asked, "Don't pick so finely, just be able to cultivate, otherwise the invited artists will not sing." It can be seen that in such a "traffic whirlpool", singers have long been reduced to vassals of technology, and their creativity has gradually been eaten away.
What's more interesting is that in the first live broadcast of the program team, they also adopted the mode of "full live broadcast", which made the experienced Na Ying "scared his legs". It can be seen that if in the daily recording, singers are accustomed to relying on sound repair to cover up their flaws, once they face the whole live broadcast, they will inevitably show their feet. You must know that what the audience yearns for most is the kind of real and original singing, but in this era of "traffic dominance", it seems to have become a luxury.
However, fortunately, in this "reshuffle", there are still some brave singers who stand up.
Just after the show was broadcast, singer Han Hong strongly "asked for war" and said bitterly: "I am Chinese singer Han Hong, I ask for war!" This sentence instantly aroused a warm response from netizens, #韩红请战歌手#的话题登上了热搜榜. It can be seen that the audience is still full of expectations and love for singers who can truly show their singing voices on the stage.
And for the program team, it can be regarded as a timely rain. Just when netizens were helping to "shake people", Hunan Satellite TV also spoke out urgently, saying that it would definitely find more powerful singers to make up for this shortcoming. It can be said that this incident once again highlights the audience's desire for the true strength of domestic entertainment singers, and also highlights the industry's over-reliance on "sound repair" and "traffic".
To a certain extent, such a "self-slap" undoubtedly brought a heavy wake-up call to internal entertainment. In this ever-changing era, if singers are still trapped in the prison of "traffic first", do not want to forge ahead, and are satisfied with the fig leaf of technology, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold on this stage.
Therefore, whether it is the singer himself or all parties in the industry, they should face up to this problem and jointly find a way to break through. As the famous music critic "Ear Emperor" said, although the live broadcast reduces the aesthetics of the work to a certain extent, it is a rare "test" for the singer's business ability and real singing skills.
In the face of such a challenge, every singer should be like Han Hong, stand up bravely, and show his true side with skilled skills and tenacious will. Only in this way can we win the recognition of the audience, and only then can we draw a new world in this era with our own "hard power". Of course, all parties in the industry should also face up to this problem, abandon the bad habit of "traffic is king", and let real music regain the respect it deserves.
After all, as the old saying goes, "The root is the best, and the heart is at ease." Only a singer who strives to conquer the audience with his most authentic voice through unremitting practice is the most worthy of praise. Only in this way can music truly return to its true nature and move towards a broader world.
Written in the final words:
In the face of such a reality, we have to sigh at the "shackles" and "soaring" of current domestic entertainment. On the one hand, singers are bound in the cage of "traffic first", and the true soul of art is not allowed to be displayed; On the other hand, the audience is still eager to see more moving songs. It can be said that this turmoil of "idol rescue" directly presents this contradiction vividly.
But we cannot afford to lose faith. As the old saying goes, "What you get on paper is shallow, and you never know that you have to do it." As long as the singers can get rid of the shackles of "traffic" and conquer the audience with their most sincere singing, I believe that they will eventually be able to set sail in the trend of "advocating truth". Just like Han Hong, she directly "invited" to go into battle and used her own strength to prove herself, this courage and determination undoubtedly brought a fresh force to the entire industry.
At the same time, all parties in the industry should also learn from this lesson, abandon the bad habit of "traffic first", and re-establish the true value pursuit of music. Only in this way can we truly restore the singing of internal entertainment to its former glory. As the saying goes, "if you come, you will be safe", as long as we can work together, I believe that in the near future, we will once again compose a moving chapter.
