Recently, a show suddenly became popular.
It's just that this fire method is completely unexpected.
"Singer 2024" (hereinafter referred to as "Singer"), which returned after a three-year absence, actually triggered a topic of "anti-Japanese war" in public opinion.
A large number of "patriotic stalks" have emerged on the Internet.
The hot searches led by "Yehenala Yingzi" took turns to fight, one after another.
Soon, Han Hong's words ignited the entire network-
I'm Chinese singer Han Hong, I'm going to fight!
In the face of such "pomp and circumstance", those who understand it are engaged in playing.
Those who don't know what is going on are confused.
Why did this "Singer" suddenly set off such a strong national war?
Don't panic, let Uncle Yu come and talk to everyone——
It all starts with a ranking.
When the official list of this year's "Singer" was announced, many people were a little interested.
At first glance, only Na Ying is a typical big singer among Chinese singers.
Foreign singers, Shanti Mo and Fanxia are not well-known in the Chinese-speaking world.
As a result, the concept of "Na Ying must be the king" made the game lose its fun.
But I didn't expect to be slapped in the face at the end of the first issue.
Chanti and Vanthia ranked first and second respectively.
Na Ying had to explore the name of flowers.
What's going on?
"Singer" has made a big move in this return:
The live broadcast does not repair the sound.
As soon as the two foreign guests opened their voices, they amazed the Quartet.
The 57-year-old Shanti easily showed off her dolphin voice.
The post-00s Fan Xia played and sang by herself, and her mellow voice sang an absolute "dark horse" tone.
Let's look at our British smashing.
When listening to these two singing, their expressions are particularly exciting.
There are amazement, affirmation, and masks of sadness and pain.
I don't know what she's worried about.
I'll understand when I get on the field.
She was nervous.
Although the singing skills are still the same, the naked eye can see that we are less familiar with the sassy atmosphere of opening and closing.
The four words "Na Ying is nervous" once ranked among the top few on the hot search list.
The performance of several other Chinese singers was also not satisfactory.
In this regard, netizens are not satisfied, this feeling of being beaten by foreign guests is too embarrassing.
So they began to carry out a big action of "shaking people" on the Internet.
first made Na Ying into various emojis, and publicly shouted that the powerful singers in their hearts would come to help.
Then I went directly to the singer himself, hoping that he could come to the rescue.
After Deng Ziqi's concert, the live broadcast was urged by countless people, "Don't eat noodles when the situation is urgent!"
At this point, we can still say that it is a happy field caused by netizens based on the expression of emotions based on wanting to see a better scene.
But Han Hong's serious "please fight Weibo" made the development of things go in the wrong direction.
As if in response to the call of the "national team", many singers began to make declarations of succession.
Zeng Yiming:
I am a Chinese singer, and I will return if I am recalled.
Zhang Liyin:
I am the Chinese singer Zhang Liyin, and I am willing to fight with enthusiasm.
Lou Yixiao:
Can a Chinese musical actor apply to compete? They will, we will, they won't, we will.
Ji Minjia was even more excited:
Where has the dignity of domestic entertainment gone, it's not that the national football team doesn't want to defend it, it's really XXXXX that is hard to say, I'm the national team! Sincere! Go out! War!
Forget it, some music critics directly use the word "colonization" to evaluate this episode.
In addition, what "Eight-Nation Alliance", "Defending the Country at the End of the Qing Dynasty", "Opium War"... All appeared.
No, what's going on?
Isn't "Singer" a music variety show?
How did it suddenly turn to a war for national dignity?
may be worried that everyone will be too deep into the play and out of control.
The official of "The Singer" quickly attacked, emphasizing:
Here, music is always the greatest common divisor of communication.
I hope that every friend who pays attention to "Singer 2024" can enjoy music, gain soulmates, maintain communication, and embrace the world.
At the same time, there are also many people on the Internet who are emphasizing: these are just memes, and there is no need to go online.
It's just that it's okay to vent or play memes.
The widespread spread of this so-called national sentiment is itself a kind of deviation.
You must know that although "Singer" is a competitive show, it is not an Olympics in the end.
First of all, the art of music has its own style.
Although in order to enhance the drama of the show, the competition link has been added.
But the purpose is to communicate with each other and learn from each other.
It also allows the audience to enjoy different types and styles of song singing.
It is really inappropriate to use the mood of national confrontation to play meme music communication.
Secondly, the singer's competition is also diverse.
It's not just the level of "singing skills".
It can also be a unique voice, a steady typhoon, and a delicate expression.
In the arena of sports competition, it may be possible to quantify it accurately.
However, on the stage of music, there is no single standard for measuring high and low level.
Here's an example.
Now there is a popular saying on the Internet about "loud voice".
This is a professional way to distinguish between categories such as singing and vocal skills.
As a result, nowadays, the term is simply associated with "iron lung."
It has become, whoever can soar the treble more will be powerful.
But is it really nice to have a high pitch in the audience?
In the first season of "Singer", Zhou Xiaoou said this:
This show allows them to see what a professional singer is really like.
Singing, as an art form, also includes stylistic types, stage performances, and emotional expressions.
It's like Coco Lee.
She presented one wonderful performance after another in the show.
No matter what the genre is, she relies on her identity as a professional singer to bring double enjoyment to the audience in terms of sight and hearing.
Musical sensations are a very personal emotion.
Different styles, different interpretations, and the status of the singer will affect the audience's feelings.
Just like the two foreign singers ranked 1st and 2nd this time.
In terms of singing skills, they are not necessarily higher than Na Ying.
But throughout the performance, both singers were in a very relaxed state.
Especially the young Fanhia.
From the front of the story of playing and singing, to the back of the dynamic singing.
Always in a state of ease, it naturally increases the emotional contagion.
Different types of singers are beautiful when they collide with sparks of passion in the exchange of music.
In Uncle Yu's opinion, among the Chinese singers in this issue, the second-hand rose, which was jokingly called the "red and white singer" by netizens, is the most relaxed in its performance state.
Let's not talk about their songs.
In terms of typhoon alone, it is much better than other Chinese singers.
Looking at Shanti's reaction when she heard "Monkey", you should understand:
That's the surprise we wanted.
In fact, when Jessie J won the championship before, people did not have a feeling of being crushed, but admired her strength.
But why did you have a reaction of "poking the lung tubes" this time?
Perhaps, because this "Singer" did hit the pain point of Chinese music.
It also unveiled the public's disappointment with Chinese music.
is saying that the live broadcast of "Singer" has lifted the fig leaf of the Chinese music scene.
There is no sound repair, pad sound, and no microphone lip-synching.
Many singers seem to be unable to open their mouths.
At the press conference, Hong Xiao, the director of "Singer", said bluntly:
Because of the format of the live broadcast, many singers declined.
There are very few singers who want to meet the strength, guts, and schedule.
The bleak status quo of the Chinese music scene behind these few sentences is really worrying.
One might ask:
Isn't it enough to have so many "nomination lists" on the Internet to prove that we still have a lot of powerful singers?
Of course, Han Hong, Phoenix Legend, Jacky Cheung, Lin Zhixuan, Zhou Shen, Deng Ziqi... This list is indeed strong enough.
But almost none of them are the new generation of Chinese music scene.
And those "new forces" who were in the back of the year have been nourished by Xiuyin all year round, but they can't stand up.
Rainie Yang and Wang Sulong, who participated this time, are young in age.
But compared with the post-00s Fanxia, it is also an absolute old-timer.
What's more, these two are also seniors in terms of qualifications.
Rainie Yang became famous in the millennium.
Wang Sulong, as one of the three giants of QQ Music, has also become a memory killer.
We must admit that the Chinese music scene has begun to enter a situation of discontinuity.
Behind this discontinuity is the stagnation and lack of success in all aspects of Chinese music.
In fact, look back at the past decade.
There are a lot of music variety shows in domestic entertainment, and the categories are extremely rich.
"The Voice of China", "Tomorrow's Son", "Rap New Generation", "Sound into the Heart", "I Am a Singer-Songwriter", "Summer of the Band"...
Rock, rap, bel canto, pop, folk, national style, musical...
Various categories have their own shows.
However, how many newcomers have really been dug out and entered the mainstream eye?
To say that the least niche out of the circle "The Summer of the Band".
Those who stayed were also veteran bands, and the most talked about was "Chinese rock is dead".
But look at other countries.
If you don't talk about it, let's talk about Japan.
Jazz, rock, and R&B all have mature enough markets and a certain number of audiences for them to take root and blossom.
Later, idol manufacturing rose.
Some say that this typical "commodity culture" influenced the development of music.
But in fact, even idol music, we are not good enough.
Some time ago, the internal war of the Korean company Hybe not only made people full of melons.
It also makes people realize once again that South Korea has brought so many highly artistic and conceptual works to the market in idol production.
In addition, Uncle Yu really doesn't like the concept of "national team".
This creates a chain of contempt in the field of music.
The establishment of this sense of hierarchy is a simple and blind comparison of "who is more noble than whom".
It is also a kind of contempt for real issues such as artistic innovation and talent training.
Just like this "Shake Man War", what is really ridiculous is not the singers and netizens who are too deep in the play.
Rather, it is a cover for a series of difficulties in Chinese music under this rising national sentiment.
Besides, what if Han Hong really came and won?
What's the point of doing that?
To use an inappropriate analogy.
It's like, it's just two elementary school students frolicking and quarreling, but someone calls the parents to crush it.
Moreover, this is a competition show voted by the Chinese audience themselves.
Did you win?
Not really...
