On the bizarre stage of the entertainment industry, variety shows are like gorgeous feasts, attracting the attention of countless audiences. And this year, Mango TV's elaborate "Singer 2024" has undoubtedly become the most watched pearl. With its unique charm, especially the real performance in the form of live broadcast with full open mic and no sound repair, as well as the fierce duel between Chinese and foreign singers, this show quickly set off a storm in the public's field of vision and became the focus of heated discussions on the streets.
At the beginning of the show, the performance of the Chinese players seemed to be a little unsatisfactory, and compared with the foreign players, they were obviously at a disadvantage. In that fierce competition, many Chinese singers did not perform satisfactorily on the stage, but Na Ying, like a veteran who held his ground, barely reached the passing line, flashing a faint light in the gloom.
With the advancement of the program, a different kind of trend has been set off in the online world. Netizens used a slightly ridiculous stalk like "a fifty-year-old lady guarding the country" to push Na Ying to the forefront of public opinion. However, what is unexpected is that this seemingly negative ridicule is like a wonderful catalyst that quietly changes the direction of Na Ying's reputation. Under the public's attention and discussion, her popularity turned out to be like a weed in spring, beginning to grow vigorously and rising steadily.
But the trajectory of fate is always full of variables. On the last day of the competition, Na Ying's situation took a sharp turn again. The reputation that was once enhanced by ridicule is now as fragile and fragile as foam, and quickly dissipates. Her evaluation seems to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, all the way to the bottom, and she has fallen into a quagmire of doubt and criticism.
Na Ying, a well-known singer who has been in the music industry for many years, has a straightforward personality and is even a little open-mouthed. She once admitted that her casual and unthoughtful way of speaking was not popular in this complex entertainment industry. She knows that if it weren't for her excellent singing skills, she would have been eliminated by this cruel industry and struggled on the edge.
In the past days, Naying's reputation was like a lonely boat in a storm, uncertain and dangerous. On Douyin, a platform where public opinion gathers, bad comments are surging like a tide, and the number of them is like a dark cloud that is difficult to disperse, pressing heavily on her head, casting a thick shadow on her image.
On the stage of "Singer 2024", although Na Ying has shown a certain strength compared to other Chinese players, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is nervous on the stage that is difficult to hide. The slightly trembling hands, the inadvertently accelerated breathing, and the obvious out-of-tune several times have become the topic of conversation among the audience.
Especially on the stage of the finals, when Na Ying sang the song "Free Like a Dream", the gap between expectation and reality was infinitely magnified. At the opening moment, the out-of-tune notes are like an anachronistic noise, breaking the audience's expectations. In the climax of the song, the high notes, which should have been high and loud, failed to bloom perfectly as expected, but instead had an embarrassing situation of breaking the sound in that struggling singing. At that moment, the whole stage seemed to freeze, and the faces of the audience showed a mixture of surprise and disappointment.
However, fate once again played a joke on the public. Although Na Ying's performance in the competition had many flaws, in the end, she unexpectedly won the crown of "King of Singers". When the results were announced, the surprised expression on Na Ying's face seemed to freeze in time, her eyes flashed with tears, she took the heavy trophy with trembling hands, and muttered to express her unexpected feelings of winning the award.
This result, like a bombshell, instantly caused an uproar in the audience. The doubts were thunderous, and everyone speculated whether there was an unknown cat behind it. On social media, all kinds of complaints and dissatisfaction are overwhelming, and people angrily accuse this of being the most bizarre shady scene in history, and it is difficult to understand why a singer who has always been ranked at the bottom of the competition can finally be crowned the "King of Singers". Someone sighed helplessly: "The script for 2024 has ended successfully, I just hope that in the next 2025, we will not see such a disappointing scene again." ”
In the face of the flood of doubts, the program team had to stand up and speak out. They earnestly insisted that there was no behind-the-scenes operation in the whole competition, that the music was judged by its own fair standards, and that no deception would be tolerated. However, this statement was like a stone in the sea, and it did not calm the anger in the hearts of the public.
Zhen Ni, a well-known musician in Hong Kong, directly expressed her dissatisfaction. She questioned Na Ying sharply, her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all disguises, stared straight at Na Ying, and asked, "Do you think you can feel at ease winning such an award?" This question, like a sharp sword, once again pushed Na Ying to the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.
In fact, this is not the first time that Na Ying has been questioned when she won the award. Looking back on the past, there was also a remarkable controversy in the selection of the "China Pop Song Chart". At that time, Tian Zhen, who ranked first in the audience vote, should have been the expected winner, however, the final award was unexpectedly awarded to Na Ying. This result made Tian Zhen feel extremely angry and aggrieved, and she expressed a strong protest to the organizers on the stage. Her determined eyes burned with anger, her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and she loudly declared that if the selection of the award was fair, then she was willing to open the microphone and vent her inner dissatisfaction and grievances. Then, in the stunned eyes of everyone, she resolutely threw the microphone, as if she was breaking with this unjust world, and turned away without a trace of nostalgia, leaving only a lonely and resolute back.
In Na Ying's career in the entertainment industry, Tian Zhen is not the only singer who has a tense relationship with her. When it comes to the most tense relationship, it is the well-known male singer Daolang. Daolang, a music wizard from the folk, quickly became popular in 2004 with a song "The First Snow in 2002" like a bright meteor across the music sky across the country. His album sales soared like a rocket, reaching a staggering 2.7 million copies, creating a miracle in the music market at the time.
Daolang's music style is unique, like a fresh wind, blowing into the slightly dull music scene at that time. He skillfully blends elements of folk, rock and classical music to create a new musical experience. His lyrics are concise and simple, but they contain deep emotions, like flowers growing from the soil of life, real and moving, which can deeply touch the hearts of listeners, so that people can find resonance in his singing, and can't help but cry like rain.
Since Daolang became popular, he has become a hot topic in the entertainment industry. Especially at the 2010 Music Festival, he became one of the popular candidates for the "Influential Singer of the Decade" award with the popularity and influence he has accumulated over the years. However, what is unexpected is that Na Ying, as the chairman of the judges, and the other judges showed a completely different attitude when judging Daolang. They bluntly stated that Daolang's songs lack aesthetic value, and believe that a singer's artistic achievements cannot be judged solely by sales. Under Na Ying's leadership, these remarks were like cold rain, directly dousing Daolang from the shortlist and excluding the casting range.
Starting from Na Ying, many famous singers seem to have been inspired by some kind of invisible calling, and they have publicly connotated Daolang. Yang Kun even bluntly accused Daolang of losing himself after becoming famous overnight, and his tone was full of disdain and contempt. However, in the face of this series of accusations and attacks, Daolang showed an open-mindedness and calmness beyond ordinary people. He candidly said on the show that fighting them doesn't do anything good, it will only lead to endless strife and lose the original intention of making music.
Regarding Na Ying's evaluation of Daolang, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it lacks basis. Isn't the high sales of a singer's record the most direct evidence of his popularity and popularity among listeners? With his talent and hard work, Daolang won the award of "Influential Singer of the Decade", which should be well-deserved and undisputed. Daolang's incident is like a storm, not only making Na Ying's reputation fall to an unprecedented trough, but also whenever she appears in public, it will always be accompanied by a strong reaction from public opinion. She seems to have become a walking topic maker, and every time she appears, it is like a bloody contest, ruthlessly impacted by the tide of public opinion.
Although Na Ying was well aware of the fault of her rash words, she did not show an obvious willingness to correct. When the reporter asked her to evaluate Zhang Ziyi's cross-border role as a music judge, she once again showed her straightforward side and responded mercilessly: "It is difficult for her to cultivate a champion, and it is difficult to judge, after all, interlacing is like a mountain." This remark once again sparked heated public discussions and made people question her emotional intelligence more deeply.
Dong Zhen, a singer who feels inferior because of his appearance, participated in the "The Voice" program with an anonymous identity with his love for music. However, she never expected that Na Ying would give such a chilling evaluation: "The moment I turned my head, I was a little surprised. Sometimes I want to select a contestant who is also handsome and beautiful in appearance. These simple words, like a sharp knife, deeply pierced Dong Zhen's heart, and also let the public see the arrogance and prejudice in Na Ying's heart. It's not that she's straight-talking, it's that she doesn't regard the other party as an equal to herself at all, and this disrespectful behavior has once again been spurned by the public.
Last year, Daolang made a strong return to the music scene with his new work "Rakshasa Sea City". The song was like a bombshell and caused a huge sensation in the music world. Its lyrics were interpreted by netizens as a subtle criticism of Na Ying and others, and the lyrics full of metaphors seemed to be a sharp sword that pierced people's hearts. With an astonishing 80 billion playbacks on the whole network, "Rakshasa Sea City" once again proved to the world Daolang's musical strength. This work is like a musical feast, which has shocked the hearts of countless listeners and made people re-understand the talent and charm of Daolang.
Then, in August this year, Daolang announced the online concert of "Where the Mountain Song Sounds". The more than three-hour show was a grand carnival that attracted 52 million views and more than 600 million likes. The warm atmosphere and the rave reviews seem to be the highest praise for Daolang's music. Subsequently, the offline concert he held in Chengdu was even full, and the atmosphere was warm and extraordinary. People came from far and wide just to hear his singing and feel the charm of his music. And the number of people who want to watch his Macau concert online has exceeded 75,000, once again proving his super popularity in the hearts of fans.
In stark contrast, when Na Ying announced that she would hold a concert in Macau in the same month, she was met with an embarrassing cold reception. Her concert tickets were not sold out, and the number of people who planned to enter was only more than 3,000, which was a world of difference compared to Daolang's high popularity. Such a comparison undoubtedly put Na Ying in an extremely embarrassing situation. Now, in the face of this series of predicaments, she may really reflect on her words and deeds. After all, in this highly competitive entertainment industry, word of mouth and strength are the foundation of the foothold, and any behavior that despises others and is arrogant and rude may eventually lead to a situation from which you will never recover. For the audience, what they expect is a fair, just, and positive music environment, where truly talented musicians can be respected and recognized as they deserve.
