This is the 199th tv review of The Cold Eye
Last Sunday, Zhejiang Satellite TV's new program "Who is the God of Big Songs" was launched, the first big song god was Tan Yonglin, and the guessing jury was also star-studded, and the whole program was full of nostalgic colors.
Saying that it is a new show is actually not so new. From the perspective of program format, it is almost exactly the same as "Hidden Singer", which was co-produced and broadcast by the four major terrestrial channels last year and then rebroadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, and the model is derived from "Hidden Singer" of JTBC in South Korea.
But this time, it is not a simple change of platform, but another dispute over the copyright of the model. "Who is the God of Big Songs" claims that it is the only genuine license, and the JTBC model side also cooperates with Zhejiang Satellite TV and Great Aim to make a position, and China's version of "Hidden Singer" last year has not actually been authorized by the Korean side. As for what the truth is, The Cold Eye King does not want to investigate further, because it is meaningless. But back to this model, Leng Yanjun is still very curious, why do everyone have to compete for this program model, is this model really so suitable for China?
Last year, Leng Yanjun specifically commented on this model ("Hidden Singer" is really not a simple imitation show← click to read), to be honest, last year's "Hidden Singer" is not ugly, in the original singer's tribute, memory resonance, are handled well, including this year's Zhejiang Satellite TV version of "Who is the Big Song God", there is still a lot of emotional pouring content. However, compared with the original version, Chinese does not seem to have eaten the essence of this model, and has not undergone reasonable transformation in localization, almost making this model a BUG. To put it bluntly, due to the problem of the star mechanism, this model is actually not particularly suitable for China.
Problem one: The original singer of the domestic version will never lose
You may also have found that whether it is last year's "Hidden Singer" or this year's "Who is the Big Singer", the original singers have won the end without exception. Although every guest and audience member is desperately guessing, in fact, no matter what, the original singer who spent a lot of money to hire will not lose.
From the perspective of the original model, although it is not normal for the original singer to lose to the model singer, it has also appeared several times, such as:
The second season of "The Hidden Singer" was released on October 19, 2013
The second season of "The Hidden Singer" was released by Cao Chengmo on October 26, 2013
The third season of "The Hidden Singer" was released on September 20, 2014 by Kim Tae-yeon
The third season of "The Hidden Singer" was released on October 25, 2014 by Lee Seung-hwan
The fourth season of "The Hidden Singer" was released on October 10, 2015 by Kim Jin-ho
The fourth season of "The Hidden Singer" was released on October 17, 2015 by Min Kyung-hoon
Among them, Kim Tae-yeon was eliminated by 100 spectators in the second round of competition, and Tae-yeon herself was surprised. Of course, the next competition Tae-yeon will continue to participate, but her vote will be counted as an invalid vote, and the winner of the current period will definitely be produced among the model singers.
Kim Tae-yeon, who was eliminated in the second round, was surprised
In fact, the so-called "elimination" or "loss" is just an attitude conveyed by this model, that is, to tell the audience that the imitator can actually beat the original singer, and it is also a program effect, and in the Korean variety show, this will not become a particularly humiliating thing, and everyone will not criticize because the original singer failed.
But in China, because every original singer invited is a big name with a lot of money, so in the face will always find a way to take care of, absolutely no elimination situation, at most only in the final competition in the case of tie tickets, such as last year's Cai Jianya special. So if you insist on this approach, it will make the audience feel a sense of fatigue, because the audience knows that no matter how the live vote is, the original singer will not lose.
In addition, because you can't lose, you can only hold it, so holding it naturally becomes a kneeling licking trend.
The first issue of "Who is the God of Great Song" invited the principal Tan Yonglin, and it must be admitted that it is indeed not easy to invite the principal out of the mountain. Therefore, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to be eliminated in the middle, and the whole guest is in a state of kneeling and licking, which is really unbearable.
Wong claimed that Tam Wing Lin's status far exceeded that of the Heavenly King Tianhou and that he was a supreme figure
Of course, the Zhejiang Satellite TV version of "Who is the Big Song God" has just finished the first episode, if you can, I hope that at least once in this season, the original singers will be eliminated, otherwise it will be another season of BUG to the end of the program.
Question 2 Guess the competition format is a formality
Last year, Leng Yanjun said that as several major Korean music reasoning variety shows have entered China, reasoning and guessing have gradually become a mainstream way. This includes three shows: "The Masked Singer", "The Hidden Singer" and "See Your Voice".
Among them, "The Hidden Singer", each issue will have more than a dozen guessing stars to participate in each round of musical reasoning. However, if this exists as a fixed format, then the participation of these guests should be made substantial, and this is not good enough in the original version.
A jury made up of many stars
First of all, the "guess" thing is to have a cause and effect, that is, you are qualified to comment and guess, then, the result of the guess is correct or not, the guests must also take responsibility for it, can not laugh and laugh on the past, guess this format If it is only a formality, it is too boring.
Of course, some people will definitely jump out and say, they guess right or not, we don't care at all, we are here to listen to songs, to see big-name singers. But don't forget, this mode mainly promotes musical reasoning, and it is a complete game rule to distinguish who is the model singer and who is the original singer through sound. If you want to let go of this piece, then just comment on a few words, why block the poisonous oath of "quitting the music world" and "quitting the entertainment industry"?
As for the solution, because the number of invited guessing guests is large, they can be divided into two camps at will, and the number of guesses will be corrected to get the corresponding points, and the team with the lowest final score can be punished. In fact, this makes every star who comes to the scene guess the evaluation has a substantial significance, otherwise it is casually said, guessing wrong will not be good, guessing correctly will not be how.
Problem three-mode singer interaction is too little
According to the rules of the model, the first phase is 5 model singers, and these 5 people are selected by the program team and have been trained for a long time before they have the opportunity to participate in the recording of the official program. Moreover, there will be more or less stories between each model singer and the original singer, which seem a little off-topic, but in fact, behind each living story is a tribute to the big name singer, which is a plus.
However, in the domestic version, especially in "Who is the God of Great Song", the 5 singers who sang Tan Yonglin only briefly introduced their experiences and did not unfold. You know, in the original mode, the 5 model singers in each issue, in addition to the players eliminated in the first round will be introduced relatively quickly, the rest will have a relatively rich story content, even including the help of relatives and friends on the field, as well as exclusive VCR storytelling.
Or, at least there must be a key person, and the story must be involved in many ways, rather than the contestants themselves unilaterally stated, guessing that the members of the jury, the host and the original singer must participate in the story of the key person, so that the whole story has a sense of layering.
In addition, in addition to each person's story, more interactive small links should be added. For example, the chorus of the model singers, the participation of live fans, and the funny interaction of the guessing jury. Still taking the previous original Li Shanji as an example, the program team used the audience to collectively send a special gift for Li Shanji.

Of course, the length of the original program is about 100 minutes, and Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Who is the God of Big Song" is only 70 minutes, but it is still hoped that in a limited time, the story and interaction of key players can be increased, making the single-game tribute process more moving.
However, back to the emotional line, the first issue of "Who is the God of Big Songs" still moved some careful thoughts, such as inviting special guest Zeng Zhiwei and Zeng Zhiwei's son to sing model songs, as well as the "enmity and resentment" between Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong in the Hong Kong music scene that year, and the principal even sang Zhang Guorong's "The Wind Continues to Blow" on the spot. In short, in the matter of nostalgia, the first issue of the material is still very sufficient, and I hope that in the follow-up program, it can get better and better, and play this mode more flexibly.
