No matter how the position changes, Hong Tao is the "general director" who has never been absent from a program. In previous years, he was active on Weibo, and this year he did not send a single Weibo.
The day before the finals, he sent a text with a lot of emotions: just because Li Yuchun wants to help sing Hua Chenyu.
Unlike other contestants, Li Yuchun is not just here to help sing, she is called "special guest"! This specification seems to have invited the number one competition guest of the whole season.
The arrival of Li Yuchun, why is it so exciting for this producer who has insisted on 8 years? A long Microblog of just a few hundred words reads too much new information behind the scenes:
The photos officially announced by the program group are very different from the joining of other guests. Her background image is a logo of a mango stand.
In the subsequent release of the gang singing poster, Li Yuchun's footnote is not a gang singing celebrity, but a special guest.
This is the highest courtesy of this season's singers - because her appearance is not a simple helper, but a nostalgia. In the copywriting that Li Yuchun then cooperated with, he took the initiative to mention 2005's "Super Girl", well, this is the label they have always wanted to get rid of.
"That summer" is about to be mentioned again, and I don't know if such a reunion will be a little smarter than a forced reunion...
"I Am a Singer" has had a place for a singer from the beginning. The first supergirl Shang Wenjie to appear on the stage has been telling stories with the title of 06 champions, allowing the audience to know the new powerful Shang Wenjie.
Since then, the second season of Zhou Bichang joined, the third season of Zhang Liangying, Tan Weiwei appeared, the most classic two supergirls, is still active in the top three of the music industry, the only missing puzzle, is Li Yuchun.
It is also such a situation that makes many netizens "ridicule" Li Yuchun: she is not a singer and is not suitable for this stage. But Hong Tao said she fit.
"There are two kinds of singers, sword sect and qi sect. The first impression we will classify her as Qizong, but her works, her aesthetics, her vision and her powerful control over the stage, not how can the Sword Sect be so sharp. ”
It was also after the third season that Hong Tao invited Li Yuchun many times. This year he cited his reaction to a new song by Li Yuchun to demonstrate the singer's creative ability.
Over the years, Li Yuchun has not participated in any of his own competition programs, but has become a judge in many programs. To some extent, such a change of identity has gradually dispelled the audience's doubts about her singing skills.
Perhaps, in the era of "I Am a Singer", which emphasizes cover songs and the excavation of music beads, it is indeed isolated from Li Yuchun, but when it comes to the stage of "Singers" that allow cover masterpieces and encourage singer-songwriters, Li Yuchun no longer needs to knock on the door.
Many people remember that after experiencing the peak of the strongest lineup in history, "I Am a Singer" has become more and more difficult to hire people.
How difficult is it? One season of the show began with Hong Tao apologizing and crying in front of 500 viewers.
This year, the singer of "The Year of The Fight" was described by Hong Tao as a "desperate situation", he said that "because it is difficult, he can only fight a battle", coupled with the subsequent cloud competition caused by the epidemic, his self-confidence has dropped to the lowest value in many years.
But the rising ratings against the trend will surely make the entire program group, including Hong Tao, rekindle hope for the old IP of the singer. Li Yuchun is the last surprise before approaching the finish line.
"Thinking of experiencing too many almost force majeure emergencies in the middle of such a special situation this year, she came!"
After the epidemic, the episode of "Singer Dangda Year" was rebroadcast, and the slogan of the program was changed to "use music, wait for spring to come".
Hong Tao said that this time, "spring" really came.
