Na Ying may not have imagined that the 57-year-old appeared in the first issue of "Singer 2024", which made the entire Chinese music scene boil.
In the variety show "Singer 2024", the most exciting thing is that the show uses a real recording of the whole live broadcast and no sound repair.
The addition of top foreign singers makes domestic singers a little disadvantaged.
Especially the American singer Shanti Mo, as a pioneer of R&B music, she sang the momentum of her home field in a foreign country, and her dolphin voice with ease made people praise the Grammy scene. Post-00s Canadian singer Fanxia, her natural singing voice has also conquered many people.
Netizens exclaimed: "Is this the absolute strength of the soul singer?" ”
The pressure has been put on domestic singers.
Na Ying won the third place with a golden song "Silence", and under the comparison of the strength of foreign singers, netizens even bluntly said that "it's like the Grammys vs. Strawberry Music Festival".
Na Ying's vivid expression in the audience became popular on the Internet.
The expression of gritting teeth sitting in the audience has led to many topics #英子 A person's riding the wind and waves# #那英五十多岁正是拼搏的时候#
Some netizens made a picture of "I want foreigners to die" the most popular emoji, and netizens played the meme "Na Ying, the fate of Yehenara".
Unexpectedly, this year's "Singer" turned out to be "The Adventures of Naying".
Na Ying, who was regarded as a "trump card" by the program team, was visibly nervous with the naked eye, so that the fans who came to the scene shouted at Na Ying: "Yeh Nara can't lose." ”
Na Ying turned her head and replied, "Why don't you go up and try it?" ”
Na Ying was very nervous, and the audience was very anxious.
In order to protect the world's best "Yeh Nara Naying", an unprecedented carnival of the Chinese music scene slowly kicked off.
The whole network guards the Chinese music scene
The strength of Shanti Mo and Vanxia is not to be underestimated, however, it is rumored that there are more equally heavyweight foreign singers who will come to the gym.
The arrival of top overseas musicians is like bringing the Grammys to Changsha.
Of course, in addition to domestic singers feeling the pressure, netizens can't help but feel anxious for them. As the home of domestic singers, if top foreign singers come to help, Naying is likely to not be able to maintain the top three rankings.
In order to protect the glory of the Chinese music scene, the whole network began the first big move - shaking people.
Phoenix Legend, who has been busy with a national tour recently, is the first "rescue" object that netizens think of.
Under Linghua and Zeng Yi's video, thousands of messages called for them to "return quickly"-
"Phoenix Legend, stop the concert and tour training, come and support Yingzi, Yingzi is about to break!"
"Phoenix, stop training, it's time to fight, the crystal is going to be stolen."
While using Na Ying's emojis to sell miserably, and on the other hand, using foreign singers' "arrogant" emojis to provoke the generals, this year's netizens can be said to have used various tricks and broken their hearts.
In 2015 "I Am a Singer", Li Jian, who went all the way to the finals and won the runner-up, was also called by netizens to "return".
"Teacher, why don't you go to the singer again...... It's almost impossible over there."
"Brother Jian, come on, guard the country with Yingzi"
On the other hand, netizens also went out to invite Chinese singer Tengger, and the enthusiasm flooded Tengger's comment area.
Tengger also appeared on the stage of "Singer" as early as 2018 and won the fourth place in the finals, and even the foreign powerful singer Jessie J was amazed by Tengger's singing.
Tengger posted: "Thank you for your love, I have seen it!" ”
Although he only expressed his gratitude, netizens still called for his return.
In the process of shaking people, CCTV also came to join in the fun, and called on singer Yuan Weiya to come to help: "Don't ride the wind and waves, come back and sing quickly!" ”
is worthy of CCTV's vision, Yuan Yawei, as a leader in the Chinese music scene, has a transparent voice and a shocking treble.
She once showed a beautiful dolphin voice in "Love can fly", which is evocative. Her temperament and style also occasionally show European and American styles, and she has been rated by music critics as a Chinese female singer who has the strength to enter the world music scene.
Yuan Yawei's studio responded quickly: "I'm writing a fake note." ”
Netizens breathed a sigh of relief and turned their heads to comfort Na Ying: "Don't worry about Yingzi, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”
In addition to Zhou Shen, Yang Zongwei, and Deng Ziqi...... Lin Zhixuan, who has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala many times, and Peng Jiahui, a Taiwanese female singer who has sung countless golden songs and won numerous awards, are also on the invitation list of netizens.
Although Lin Zhixuan politely declined the invitation due to work arrangements, he said: "This kind of live broadcast has always been what I have been pursuing, please be sure to do it, I will come next year!" ”
With the spread of the trend of "shaking people", the whole network has started the second big move - applying to play.
On May 12, Han Hong's Weibo post of "Chinese singers please fight" added a fire to the popularity of "Singer".
Netizens quickly forwarded: "Yingzi, your popularity is here!" Let her go! The singer's version of Changsha is on fire! ”
Following Han Hong's drive, no longer waiting for the invitation of netizens, more Chinese musicians stood up and wanted to join this world-class music variety show competition.
In the face of such enthusiasm, the @湖南卫视歌手 program team publicly responded:
"Singer 2024" has a rigorous schedule system, fair, just and open competition rules, and will be invited in the follow-up according to the schedule of each singer.
At this point, the carnival of defending the Chinese music scene on the whole network has come to an end.
The revelry may just be a whim. But this carnival also made people discover that those names that have not been seen for a long time have once again returned to the public's field of vision.
The "invisible" Chinese singer was finally remembered
The whole network "shook people" in a hurry, but after shaking around, it was found that the singers with the most voices were still familiar names.
Their age is on par with 57-year-old Na Ying.
57-year-old Lin Zhixuan, 52-year-old Han Hong, 64-year-old Tengger, 54-year-old Peng Jiahui, the two together are 87-year-old Phoenix legends......
It turns out that in the face of such a "turmoil", it is still the older generation of musicians who are supporting half of the Chinese music scene.
It is also thanks to this "splashing traffic" that people have noticed that many musicians of the older generation have not retired, but have been silently behind the scenes for a long time.
Many national-level singers in the 70s and 80s, the wind and sand of time buried them, and young people no longer know their names.
For example, Hang Tianqi, who sang "Xintianyou" and "Loess High Slope", she has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala 9 times, inheriting the memories of two generations.
Songs such as Fu Disheng and Ren Jing's "Knowing Lover" and "You Are Happy, I Am Happy" are classics that were played on a loop in the 90s.
Live, the sound of the flute
They have experienced the glory of the pop music scene, but in order to "re-employment", they had to pour into the live broadcast room.
They don't have special talents, and they can't compare to the good looks and tricks of Internet celebrities, they just silently accompany the audience to sing, chat, and take the audience to relive the past.
The singers of the glorious generation of the Chinese music scene, they are old, and they are replaced by new names.
But in today's Chinese music scene, why is there "no one available"?
Perhaps in the age of algorithms, music has gradually evolved into a "battle for attention".
The iteration speed of pop music is too fast, the life cycle of songs is too short, and the music market has gradually figured out a complete set of "traffic passwords" - in order to capture the ears of the audience, they are tirelessly brainwashing the public with "earworms", and repeatedly use universal chords to create divine comedy in batches.
But the more times like this, the more people miss the Chinese music scene in the past, the pure, engraved memories of generations, and brought countless touches to the Chinese music scene.
The Chinese music scene, which is "slow" enough, sang a glorious golden age.
Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Cui Jian, Dou Wei, Huang Jiaju...... Batch after batch of musicians have laid the cornerstone of music.
Much-loved singers, they can awaken the youth of a generation with a few simple lyrics.
For example, Teresa Teng's "The Moon Represents My Heart", with beautiful melody and affectionate lyrics, has become a classic for many years to express the sincere emotions between lovers.
The moon represents my heart, Teresa Teng
Luo Dayou, who was born in a family of doctors, his "Childhood" has spread almost all over the streets.
And "Love Song 1990" does not have a single word "love", but he sang that emotion, which touched countless people as the theme song of "Ah Lang's Story".
Love Song 1990, Luo Dayou
Cui Jian, a leading figure in Chinese rock, has influenced generations of rock fans with his musical works.
One of Cui Jian's masterpieces, "The Girl in the Flower House", uses music to interpret young people's desire for freedom and love, and the melody and lyrics all make people feel Cui Jian's love and dedication to music.
Flower girl, Cui Jian
In their era, a group of younger Chinese singers such as Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, Lin Junjie, and Tao Zhe have emerged in the Chinese music scene, creating new youth memories for the post-80s and 90s.
The older generation of singers is full of stars, and the new generation of singers creates new legends.
They have all used their careers to create generations of musical imprints for different people, and have composed well-known music classics.
Fortunately, when the traffic began to lose its effect, many good singers who had been buried finally returned to the public's field of vision.
And unfortunately, only when the traffic fades will they be called back.
The Chinese music scene under the "crisis".
It is a good thing that the treasure musicians of the older generation and the young powerful singers are "seen" again and invited to return.
But this "carnival of the whole network" has gradually added a hint of seriousness in the continuous meme.
One of the most controversial questions is: Is there a shame in losing to foreigners in Chinese music programs?
Indeed, the energetic and steady singing of foreign singers can easily make people feel like "hanging" domestic singers.
But rather than "embarrassing", the reason behind this "gap" is more worthy of people's attention.
I have to admit that the overall singing level advantage of the European and American music scene is indeed much greater than that of the Chinese music scene.
Compared with China, Europe and the United States attach more importance to music. In religiously developed countries, music became the language of communication between man and God, and choirs were everywhere and many singers were trained.
Just like Shanti Mo, who won first place, she joined the church choir when she was a child, and the music never left her.
On the technical level of music, European and American music has a wider scope, covering different races, cultures, and histories, and the diversity and inclusiveness of music are stronger.
But different races always have their own musical styles.
For example, R&B, which was first adopted by black Americans, absorbed the rhythm of African music, the expression of rhythm and other cultural collisions.
When it comes to authentic R&B, other races are naturally inferior to black Americans.
Bel canto began in Italy in the 16th century, and its way of vocal resonance comes from Italian.
If he is a native Italian speaker, he can more easily achieve the unity of vocal position, breath and resonance.
Therefore, music, as a complex art category, involves the influence of race, language, history and culture, customs and even lifestyle.
As Chinese, we naturally do not need to be presumptuous. Maybe the Chinese forum loses for a while, but Chinese music will not lose.
Chinese music is like the "Eight Great Cuisines", with a wealth of singing voices, techniques, and a fusion of our own culture and emotions.
The original "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", the moment the Tibetan dialect comes out, it is fascinating;
The chant in "Silent Sky" is like a silent sound from the grassland, a song of the soul that wants nothing else.
No matter what country it is, music always comes from "people".
Just as Russian music blends folk language with music, Western music moves from religious music to secular music, and from opera to instrumental solo music......
The Russian composer Mikhail Glinka once commented on himself: "It is the people who make music, and we composers just make it into music." ”
As a country with a vast territory and vast resources, China's music also comes from the people and has its own characteristics.
Tibetan dialect, Qin dialect, labor trumpet, mountain songs, operas, minor tunes, countless ......
Just like the folk songs of northern Shaanxi, its charm lies in the strong and simple emotions, which are a kind of mountains and rivers in the loess nature.
This is music and romance that belongs exclusively to the Chinese.
Perhaps in the "Singer" program, foreign singers sing with moving bass, loud treble, and gorgeous techniques, but the singing of Chinese also has a southern and northern tone, laughter and scolding, and can interpret the surging emotions with wonderful skills.
The brilliance of our own music is never dimmer than that of others.
Chinese emotions are generally more restrained and delicate, but in the soul resonance of music, the emotional transmission of lyrics also gives us more room to play.
Tengger wrote "Paradise" when he was homesick, thinking of the blue sky of his hometown, the green grasslands, the soaring eagles and the galloping horses, so he wrote:
"I love you, my home, my home, my heaven."
No matter how far I went, I didn't forget my hometown, and the wandering wanderer's thoughts and concerns about my hometown were hidden in the lyrics.
The well-known lyricist Fang Wenshan can sketch a picture of oriental charm with just a few sentences.
For example, in the lyrics of "Dragon Fist", "With Dunhuang as the center of the northeast and east, the coastline of this nation is like a bow, and the Great Wall is like a dream to be shot for 5,000 years, and I use my arms to pull the weight of the whole land."
The inconspicuous four words at the end of the sentence, "East, Bow, Dream, and Heavy", allude to the oriental charm and make the singer's heart surge.
There is a different depth and depth in the musical emotions of the Chinese, which comes from the long time that has passed through thousands of years.
Therefore, on the stage of singing friends, we may see the gap in skills and levels, but the most important thing is to never lose our own voice and expression.
Competing on the same stage, competing with each other, even if we don't win first place on stage, is a better way to get our music out.
Click "Watching", I hope that more Chinese singers will appear on the real stage, and the Chinese music scene will get better and better.
I also look forward to the good show after this "shake people".
