From Jin Haixin to Jiang Meiqi, after each episode of "Who is the Treasure Singer" is broadcast, there will be such a singer who can arouse everyone's memories and discussions.
About twenty years ago, they were briefly active in the Chinese music scene, leaving behind several popular songs. It then faded away. Later, although they occasionally appeared or released some new songs sporadically, everyone's impression of them was basically fixed in the years at the turn of the century.
In fact, whether it is Jin Haixin or Jiang Meiqi, the years when they really became popular coincided with the alternation of the old and new in the Chinese music scene, when Li Wei, Zheng Xiuwen, Chen Huilin, Xu Ruyun, Liang Yongqi, Fan Xiaoxuan, Xiao Yaxuan and others were at their peak. In terms of style, Jin Haixin and Jiang Meiqi still continue the Chinese love song route at the end of the last century. In terms of influence, they were not particularly prominent in that era of fairy fighting.
So why did they suddenly attract a lot of attention and discussion after they appeared on the stage of "Who is the Treasure Singer"?
Strictly speaking, the musical careers of Jin Haixin and Jiang Meiqi have witnessed two golden ages in the Chinese music scene. Their own style is more biased towards the previous era, unlike the next era opened by Jay Chou, Wang Lihong and Lin Junjie.
Although their masterpieces, in terms of number and degree of singing, are not very prominent among female singers of the same era, even so, they still enjoy the last glory of the recording industry. And pop music still occupied an important position in the mainstream world of young people at that time, which was completely different from the current environment of the entire music scene and the music industry.
As a result, they can be remembered for a long time by virtue of a few masterpieces, until today, twenty years later. This is a world of difference from the situation of many singers today.
In today's world of online music, a song may quickly become a hit, but the singers who sing them are difficult to remember. We brushed up a lot of songs every day, but we didn't have much patience to listen to a song that was only three minutes long.
Music becomes a musical stream, just fleeting sound waves, produced to match a particular situation. The singer no longer has an independent artistic personality, or the singer's personal image is difficult to convey to the user's heart.
Some authors sighed: "Now people's mentality is more and more impetuous, many good songs have become background music, people may brush this one or two minutes to the end, only listen to the climax part, even the patience to listen to a song in its entirety is no longer available, how can you be interested in learning about the singer who sings?" ”
When a song, only the climactic part can arouse everyone's interest, pop music is reduced to a kind of acoustic effect. It is more suitable for use as a ringtone, alarm clock and hypnotic music.
Since people's emotions about music can only last a few seconds, the singer becomes a human flesh voice, and you will listen to him or her singing, but you will not care who he or she really is.
In such an era, many people began to miss the singers of the past. Their images are so vividly engraved in people's minds. When you think of someone, you think of a certain song that he or she sang. The memory of music and the memory of the singer are inseparable, and the water and milk are intertwined.
In recent years, the vast majority of music variety shows have focused on these treasure singers, because they have too many stories and works, which can cross the barriers of time and re-enter our hearts.
