Sir sometimes wonders if you're a sailor.
For several months, some people in the background continued to blow up a variety show.
Sir looked for the name -
"Music Draft".
What, haven't you seen it this year?
"Hong Kong Roundup".
What, and fried cold rice with feelings?
Wait, 8.6?
Okay, just believe you this time—
Sonic Dream Legends
How many years has the Hong Kong music scene disappeared from our field of vision?
Sir also grew up listening to Cantonese songs.
But at one point it produced "PTSD".
As soon as it appears, it will sell feelings -
Even the Hong Kong people themselves have slowly forgotten that "golden age":
After the 00s, Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau, Gu Tianle Gu Juji, stupid can't tell the difference.
Can Hong Kong music variety shows be done?
Broadcast for three months, the answer is determined -
Not only can it be done.
It can also be "hanging".
01
It really costs money
The secret is simple, just one word:
true.
First of all, real money.
The show didn't start, first smash thirty million.
Thirty million put in the domestic program, even if it is a piece, but the key is what it smashes to do.
Not packaging, not publicity, not buying hot search.
It is used to train players.
A year ago, the program team selected 15 contestants from thousands of contestants in Hong Kong.
These contestants are not talented, more are music lovers, and many are students.
As young as 14 years old, the oldest is only 25 years old.
In order to train them, the program recording time was delayed again and again, and the early training cost of the contestants alone reached 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Again, please guests.
Most of the Hong Kong music scenes are invited to come over behind the scenes.
Soul Master (Daddy) Li Keqin.
Mentors, all qualified:
Zhou Baihao, Yong'er, JW (Wang Hao'er), Li Xingni, Jiang Haijia...
Each episode will also invite 25 professional judges in turn.
Radio DJs, some are famous music part-time, but also the "big guys" of major record companies.
No media judges, no crossover cameos.
All are professional singers, producers, record label representatives, music media.
Later, the XR Extended Reality technology was used for the first time as a stage effect.
Dazzling, very dazzling.
So on.
Is this to create a batch of Heavenly Kings and Queens?
other.
Don't be in a hurry to shout slogans.
02
Really listen to the song
The show really started, and this operation Sir really didn't understand.
Li Keqin commented in one sentence——
This is a show without "MSG".
This is no MSG, there is no taste.
Watching the first issue, Sir wondered, such a luxurious studio, how can there be no momentum?
When the singer finished singing, he turned his head and left, quickly giving way to the next one.
According to the operation of internal entertainment, you have to arrange some "canned sound effects" to drive the atmosphere.
But this show is not added.
If you want to understand the story of the students, look for tidbits to watch, but the show will not give them so many plays, after 1-2 minutes of introduction, directly start singing.
How true?
break off. No. repair. sound.
break off. not. after. time limit.
even.
Applause, all live radio.
Because the epidemic controlled the number of spectators at the scene, the applause seemed sparse.
This is a disaster for some players...
To put it bluntly, the beginning of the show is basically a large-scale rollover scene.
There is soaring high pitch soaring to the half out of breath.
There is a serious deviation in pitch, and there is no ups and downs throughout the whole process.
There are even wrong songs, and finally they find that they can't hold it at all.
This scene, full of bullet screens, is full of ridicule.
The judges were not protective at all.
You perform selflessly on stage, and offstage may be the judge's needle felt.
△ This expression is hard enough to say
The major judges either don't open their mouths, they have to open their mouths.
And the angle is tricky.
In the face of players who pay too much attention to performance style and ignore the singing skills.
The judges directly told her to spend some time practicing the song and not to put the cart before the horse.
In the face of students with insufficient standards, it is yin and yang that make the other party a little self-aware.
Of course, in addition to complaining, it will still give you a direction.
In the face of players who do not know how to control the intensity of singing, he suggests that the other party be half a degree higher and force himself to hang up his voice to make the voice gentle.
Even if you sing well, if you don't realize that you have to cooperate with the band arranged by the program team, you can't get the hearts of the judges.
Practical sentences, to the point.
Not everyone will have the courage to click on and continue to chase this "Sound Dream Legend".
It will make some people feel "uncomfortable".
It is not suitable, it does not have an audiovisual feast of millions of tuning, no sensational "player background", and there is no deliberately designed tearing and bursting point.
It is destined to serve only a small group of people.
A group of people who want to recover the pure "sound dream" even if they have to endure flaws and blandness.
03
Real music
There is one contestant in the show who is very special.
14-year-old students come to compete, and usually have to stay up late to review their homework.
Another inspirational dream story?
Sorry Sir said it, no.
The first episode flipped over —
Nervous disorders, poor pitch.
The judges did not have the slightest comfort, listening to her singing, the original singer Wei Lan directly stinked face.
Netizens even laughed at her KTV level.
It's extremely stressful for a 14-year-old girl.
But she didn't back off.
No matter how wronged behind the scenes, no matter how much you pay, the program team does not want to spend too many shots to record.
Eliminate the edges and get back on stage.
Fortunately, she gradually carried the pressure and overcame the pitch problem.
Whether it is from singing or dressing, they know how to cooperate with songs and stages.
It was her stubbornness.
It's also the show's stubbornness —
Don't come to the void, the stage speaks, the strength speaks.
Sir also finally understood why many people said that this show can "hang" many mainland music variety shows.
Plainly.
What "hangs" is not resources, not funds, not production levels, and even less player levels.
It's something we've long been tired of and hate—
Indulge in self-righteousness in routines.
The cheapness of mass output is impressed.
Sir is collectively referred to as arrogance.
"Legend of Sound Dreams" is certainly not top-notch in terms of production and luxury.
But as a music variety show.
It's done the most right thing -
Humility and piety to music.
Although the Hong Kong music scene has experienced glory and loneliness.
Thankfully, it still remembers.
It was no one else who illuminated that era.
It is our pure impulse and love for music.
It's the music itself.
