It was a few years ago in the entertainment industry, and music talent shows sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and instantly rose to become one of the hottest variety show genres. Countless dazzling celebrities have devoted themselves to these shows as mentors, with a glint of anticipation and anticipation in their eyes, eager to stand on this stage and show their unique musical talents.
At the same time, serving as a mentor also means having a wider range of exposure opportunities, which in turn may further enhance one's visibility and influence. Some artists have even seen it as an excellent way to rekindle their careers, looking forward to taking advantage of the wide dissemination of the show and climbing new heights in their lives.
Therefore, when each David TV is preparing for a new season of talent shows, the selection of the mentor lineup has naturally become the focus of attention. Almost all the audience's speculation and expectations focused on whether they could successfully invite Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung, two highly respected "king" singers, to participate in it.
However, what is unexpected is that in the stormy wave of this talent show, Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung resolutely refused the constant invitation of the program team in an unusual way, and resolutely refused to serve as the mentor of any music talent show.
The two of them frowned, their expressions solemn, as if they were full of deep worries and scruples about this job, and people couldn't help but admire their foresight.
Once, the highly regarded singer Eason Chan was once attracted by the huge attraction of a music talent show and joined the show's mentor lineup with curiosity.
He originally thought that this was just a pure musical competition feast, where he could show his love and understanding of music.
However, during the live recording, a shocking scene surprised Eason Chan. In that issue, an ordinary female student completed her own singing, although her voice was slightly dry and her skills were still rusty, which did not resonate with the instructors present.
However, under some hint from the director, the other two mentors invariably pressed the "turn" button, opening the green light to the student's path to success.
Eason Chan's eyes widened, revealing a look of deep confusion. Seeing that the level of this student is so low that he can't even be interested in him, but he has been wonderfully favored by other mentors, which obviously deviates from the original intention and purpose of the show.
The same phenomenon happened to another well-known singer, Coco Lee. One of the students she firmly recommended, despite his beautiful singing voice and extraordinary strength, failed to "resurrect" and advance to the next round, but some players who did not perform well were given this rare opportunity.
Coco Li was extremely frustrated by this, and left the scene angrily, interrupting the recording of the day.
Coco clutched her injured leg and knelt on the ground in pain. She looked up, her eyes full of confusion and anger. It was supposed to be an ordinary stage performance performed by her and her students, and the two of them paid for a long rehearsal and careful preparation for it.
However, on the eve of the official recording, the program team suddenly changed the original arrangement, causing her to accidentally lose her balance during the performance and fall to the ground in embarrassment.
At another recording site, the "turn" button in Eason Chan's hand seemed to be magically manipulated by an invisible force. Although he knew that the student's performance on stage was mediocre and far from the standard that would make him press the button, when the director's voice came through the headset, begging him to give the contestant a chance to show himself, Eason Chan had no choice but to press the button.
He tried his best to keep a calm exterior, but his heart was full of anger and helplessness. As a senior musician, he knew that such behavior violated his professional judgment, but in the face of the instructions of the program team, he could not do anything but temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart.
After the recording, Eason Chan left the set without hesitation, ignoring anyone who tried to ask and his expression was serious. Coco Li clutched her injured leg tightly and was carefully helped away by the staff, but she never got a reasonable explanation.
While these celebrity mentors reveal the inside story of the talent show, we can't help but feel sorry for the contestants who once had a brief glow on the stage, but quit because of unfair treatment.
Looking back on the long years, the outstanding singer Yao Beina, who has passed away, is still missed, she showed her talent on the stage, and deeply touched the hearts of countless audiences with her gentle and moving singing. At that time, she was like a soft ray of sunshine, warming every heart that loved life.
However, such a beautiful and warm time seems too short. Because of all kinds of injustices, the opportunity that Yao Beina originally deserved was ruthlessly taken away from her. It's heart-wrenching!
Now, that ray of sunshine has quietly passed, and we can no longer hear her magical singing. Many people feel extremely sorry for her departure, but they can only reluctantly accept this cruel reality.
If she had received the attention and training she deserved, and had a healthy and strong body, then there was no doubt that she would have achieved brilliant achievements on the road of music.
However, in stark contrast, Zhou Shen, who also emerged in the talent show, successfully won the reputation of "The Voice" with his own strength and affectionate interpretation.
Today, he has become a well-known singer with a reputation spread all over the world. This undoubtedly proves that as long as you have real talent, you will definitely be loved and recognized by the audience, and will never be buried.
As the popularity of talent shows continues to rise, they are gradually becoming an important way for stars to be born. In addition to imparting professional music knowledge and skills, it is more important for an excellent instructor to use his rich experience and unique insights to guide and inspire students, and have a profound impact on their growth.
However, it is regrettable that many current talent shows often pay more attention to their popularity and traffic value in the entertainment industry when inviting mentors, rather than conducting an in-depth investigation of their professionalism and experience.
Therefore, we can often see the phenomenon that some artists, although they are not deeply involved in the field of music and have little experience, have already sat in the position of mentors and pointed fingers at their students.
Do they have a deep enough understanding of music? Can you accurately grasp the trend of music development? Is there a lack of inspiration and guidance for students? These questions will raise questions.
What makes us very emotional is that Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung, two superstar figures, are completely different from the flashy style of some mentors today. The far-sightedness they showed when they refused to be mentors to the talent show was a no-brainer.
As the most revered "king" superstars, their unique insights and depth of music are remarkable. There is no doubt that their musical attainments have long gone beyond the ordinary.
Andy Lau has also sincerely stated that although he has made a huge breakthrough on the road of self-improvement, if he wants to truly play the role of a mentor and give students appropriate guidance and guidance, he deeply feels that he still has a considerable process to sharpen.
His brow furrowed, as if he was worried about the responsibility.
Similarly, Jacky Cheung has won praise at the level of "God of Songs" for his excellent singing skills and superb performance ability. However, he humbly admits that his understanding of music is still superficial, and it is difficult for him to take on the responsibility of leading the younger generation.
He shook his head slightly, his expression open and fearless.
The two superstars' self-awareness and low-key attitude are truly admirable. They are clearly aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, neither cross the line nor force them, and would rather give up this important task than play the role of a perfunctory "mentor".
They have interpreted the basic moral code of life with practical actions, and at the same time set a valuable example for those who come after them.
