Ulantuya has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years with the "Hidden Man" version of "Set horse pole", and finally was revealed to the bottom. As netizens said: "You can lie to everyone at the same time, you can also lie to the same person at all times, but you can't lie to everyone at all times." ”

"The man who sets the horse, you are mighty and majestic, and the galloping horse is like a gust of wind..." I believe that many people begin to play the melody on the top in their minds as soon as they see this sentence.
"Set of Horse Poles", a generation of "divine comedies" that once spread across the country, has recently "rekindled" the heat on video platforms such as B station.
But it was not the song itself that ignited the second fire of the Divine Comedy, but its singer, Ulantuya.
The cause of the matter is this: some netizens looked back at a series of "Horse Pole" singing videos of Ulantuya, and were surprised to find that as long as she sang "The Man who Set the Horse", she would seamlessly switch from the singing mode to the interactive mode, replacing the "Hanzi" with "Everyone Comes Together", perfectly avoiding the high-pitched part.
In addition, some higher-pitched places, such as "an eagle" and "an encounter", were also sung by her, becoming "a squeaky eagle" and "an encounter".
The parts that linger on the edge of the broken sound, such as the "endless wilderness", are "cleverly" dissolved by her in the way of pulling away the wheat distance.

And the scene of such "car accidents" is not an isolated case, but a continuous series, almost to the point of the field.
Some netizens joked: "The interactive singing method was born." "Now hanzi means to curse?" Why was the whole process silenced? "This singer is quite able to hide, and he can't put it on."
Some netizens also summed up the "Tuya Law": first, Every Han (Son) must hide, Fengyuan (Wild) Must pull (wheat); the second law When other factors remain unchanged, the distance of Ulantu Yaramai increases with the increase of the pitch.
For a time, the homepage of video platforms such as Station B and Douyin was covered with videos related to "hiding men". Netizens regard Ulantuya's "Horse Pole" as a "source of happiness", setting off a boom of stalking and revelry on the Internet.
Many people may wonder why such a "young singer" who did not spread gossip, did not make a demon, and had almost no negative news before, in the blink of an eye, broke out of the "comedy world" and became the object of the whole network to play?
Everything must start from the song "Horse Pole".
Divine Comedy Singer "Stealing the Day for aNother Day"
What are the criteria for a song to be counted as a "divine comedy"? The lyrics are popular, the melody is beautiful, and the rhythm is dynamic, which are all necessary conditions for becoming a "divine comedy". But in the final analysis, as long as a song is sung high enough, it is the "Divine Comedy".
"Set the horse pole" is such a "divine comedy" that is suitable for all ages, everyone can hum, and everyone can sing.
"Horse Pole" was first released in 2009, and the first singer was Ulantoya. At first, the response to the song was mediocre and did not attract the attention of the public. Until a year later, "Horse Pole" suddenly exploded, swept the streets and alleys, from mobile phone ringtones to square dance accompaniment, the air is floating in the melody of "Horse Man".
Although the song is red, the person who sings it is not red, which is also the common situation for the singers of the "Divine Comedy". Earlier, Zhou Pengpeng (later renamed "Sa Ding Ding" who sang "Dong Bala") and now such as Ah Yan who sang "Love 105 ° You" are all typical examples of the "Divine Comedy" song celebrity who is not popular.
The same is true of "Set of Horse Poles", not only few people remember the singer Ulantoya, but there are also a large number of people who think that this song is the work of the Phoenix legend, and because there is no male voice of Zeng Yi in the song, it has been troubled for many years.
Ulantoya's version of "Horse Pole Set".
In April 2011, after the expiration of the three-year contract between Ulantoya and the New Moon Company, due to various contradictions between her and the company, she gave up the renewal and chose to leave.
When "Horse Pole" became popular, Ulantoya's absence left the "Divine Comedy" unsung. Since the song rights belong to Crescent Moon, in order to maintain and make good use of the popularity of the song, it became a top priority to find a new singer.
The new singer needs to have similarities with Ulantoya, such as ethnicity, name, etc., so as not to make the audience feel abrupt. In this context, Ulantuya, who is also Mongolian and has a similar name, stands out and becomes the new singer of "Horse Pole".
In the same year, crescent company issued a statement saying that because Ulantoya had terminated her contract, the songs such as "Horse Pole" and "I Want to Go to Tibet" that she had sung earlier were sung by Ulantuya, and Ulantoya had no right to continue singing.
Ulantoya did not expect that "Horse Pole" would become well known to women and children when she left, and what was even more unexpected was that not being able to sing "Horse Pole Set" would greatly affect the development of her career later.
Ulantoya released "New Set of Horse Poles".
The special attributes of the "Divine Comedy" made Ulantoya, who lost the right to sing "Horse Pole", instantly become a "nameless person". In order to regain her original fame, she launched "New Set of Horse Poles" in 2012. However, this new song, which is close to the original "Horse Pole", was found to be infringing after being sued in court by the old owner Crescent Moon Company.
The lyrics of "Horse Pole Set" and "New Horse Pole Set" are very similar.
Ulantoya had to give up the competition for "Horse Pole" and switch to the creation of new songs. When she returned to the public eye again, it was already because of the popularity of "Fiery Sarilang".
The change of the singer of the "Divine Comedy" went smoothly, and since the Internet was not very developed at that time, the change of singer did not make much waves. "Horse Pole" has two singers who are "silly and indistinguishable" in the eyes of the public.
On the surface, Ulantuya became the legitimate singer of "Horse Pole", and Crescent Moon also achieved the commercial purpose of maintaining the popularity of the song and launching a new person. But this "successful" operation in the past has also laid the groundwork for today's "hiding men" in the whole network.
Success is also a divine comedy, and defeat is also a divine comedy
Compared with Ulantoya, who was born as a singer and released an album, and was already famous at the time with several singles, Ulantuya was undoubtedly a lucky person. Before becoming the singer of "Horse Pole", she was just an ordinary student at the Central University for Nationalities, a pure "vegetarian".
After signing a contract with Crescent Moon, Ulantuya launched the MV of "Horse Pole Set" that he sang. Due to the high degree of singing of "Horse Pole" and the good mass base, with these favorable conditions, her singer career started smoothly.

However, Ulantuya herself may also be aware of a problem, as a mezzo-soprano, her voice is unique and highly recognizable, but it is not suitable for singing the high-pitched "Horse Pole".
After relying on "Horse Pole" to gain a firm foothold, she successively released a series of singles suitable for her own vocal range, such as "Standing on the Grassland looking at Beijing" and "Hot Love Songs", etc., and the songs received enthusiastic responses and won the love of a large number of listeners.
Under the great advantages brought by the "Divine Comedy" and its own unremitting efforts, Ulantuya's career has developed rapidly and won many honors.
She appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala three times in 2014, 2019 and 2020, and was awarded many titles such as member of the All-China Youth Federation and winner of the "Five Ones Project" of the 15th Spiritual Civilization Construction of the Central Propaganda Department in 2019.

While giving its singer advantages, the Divine Comedy also sets many restrictions. As a singer of the "Divine Comedy", you can either "pass on the classics forever", constantly polish your singing skills, and grow old with a song, or break through the box and create a new style. Neither of these two roads is easy to walk.
Judging from the serial "car accident" videos found by netizens today, Ulantuya is a bit lost on these two roads.
She was good at and suitable for her own midrange songwriting, but repeatedly sang "Horse Pole" at major performance events. Advantages are nowhere to be played, and weaknesses are infinitely magnified.
The final result is that the high notes cannot go up, the bass singing is unstable, and the high notes can only be avoided through tactical Ramai and audience interaction, leaving behind a "hiding man" scene for netizens to revel today.
"Black red" is not true red
In this carnival around the divine comedy "Set the Horse Pole", netizens began to compare the details of the singing skills of the two singers.
Compared with Ulantuya's version, some netizens sighed that "Hanzi was finally trapped" after hearing Ulantoya's original song, "A contrast, high and low judgment", and some netizens issued a joke that "the original song did not lamai, will not hide from Hanzi, unlike Tuya, it can bring me happiness".
Netizens jokingly said that the left side is the KTV opening original song, and the right side is closing the original song.
Many netizens are also in the comparison, to really figure out the difference between the two. "It turns out that what everyone is mocking is not the original song, I will say how the Divine Comedy that I have heard since I was a child has been ridiculed by the group." A netizen said.
In addition, Ulantoya's previous grudge with her old owner Crescent Company over the singing rights of "Horse Pole" has also been understood by more people.
Although she returned after five years of leaving Crescent to regain the vocal rights to "Horse Stick", her acting career was greatly affected, dwarfed by Ulantuya's smooth sailing.
Also the singer of "Horse Pole", Ulantoya, whose singing standard is higher, is not as good as Ulantuya, who is "hiding from the man". This has aroused the questions of netizens, and some people even called Ulantuya a "Li ghost" and a "fake card", setting off a new round of group ridicule.
After the "hidden Man" became popular, some media reporters contacted Ulantuya's agent, and the other party responded that the so-called "Hidden Man" was the need to narrow the distance between the fans and the on-site interaction, and said that he was very happy that the "Hidden Man" brought happiness to netizens.
Ulantuya himself posted a video of the oratorio "Horse Pole" on the short video platform, rarely "hiding from the man", and also took the initiative to respond to the controversy in a self-deprecating way on Weibo.
But netizens obviously did not buy her active play terrier and joke gesture, and the video comment area was full of "hiding men" and "downgraded" evaluations.
The "self-blackness" full of variety shows cannot resolve the controversy. Netizens are angry about her "stable play" that every "Han" must hide, her indulgence and slackness of herself, her disrespect for the singer's profession, and the fooling of the audience.
As Station B user Hiewa said: "You can lie to everyone at the same time, you can also lie to the same person at all times, but you can't lie to everyone at all times." ”
Objectively speaking, although Ulantuya overturned the car this time because of "Set the Horse Pole", her other songs are still remarkable, and the degree of singing is also very high, which is inseparable from her personal efforts and strength, and we do not have to completely deny her achievements because of a "hidden man".
At the same time that the whole network group mocked "hiding from the man", some netizens turned out the MV of "Standing on the Grassland and Looking at Beijing" sung by Ulantuya 9 years ago. This is one of her masterpieces. In the MV, her singing voice is melodious and beautiful, and many people exclaim at the bottom of the video, "Is this really the 'hidden man' of Ulantuya?" ”

For Ulantuya, at the moment when the whole network plays with the "hidden man" and the P figure is turned upside down, I hope that she will not have a "black and red is also red" mentality, thinking about how to deal with this "public relations crisis" in order to turn the crisis into safety, and the more urgent thing in front of her is a deep reflection on her professional ability and development route.
