"In my heart, the Linghua is the flower of the color bell."
On Friday night, Lin Zhixuan posted this Weibo, which immediately aroused the curiosity of netizens to watch. Treasure Island "Love Song Prince" "confessed" the phoenix legend in the air, how to see it is a bit of breaking the meaning of the dimensional wall.
The opportunity for the interaction was that both were invited to participate in the "Time Concert" recently launched by Hunan Satellite TV, in the third program, Lin Zhixuan revealed that when he was a radio DJ in Taiwan, he had been enthusiastic about the Phoenix Legend, and the scene also played a recording at that time.

The audience reacted to this, and it turned out that even the big-name singer Lin Zhixuan was once a fan of the Phoenix legend.
Not only them, but every group of singers present has a wonderful fate with each other. Seeing them sitting around the outdoor lawn and tent, taking turns singing classic old songs, it's hard not to recall the scene of a lazy afternoon reunion with friends.
However, can such a warm show really attract people's attention?
After watching a few issues with doubt, I got answers that were very different from what I expected.
01
Give you a CD of the past
"Everyone must have used cremation ringtones, do you have any stories to share?"
In the third episode, Zeng Yi just threw out this question, and the other seven guests quickly opened the conversation box.
Xu Ruyun mentioned that in 1998, he left a message to fans on the limited bb machine, and fans could hear her songs as long as they dialed the call sign; Lin Zhixuan asked his friends to set his song as a color bell; Principal Tan Yonglin recalled that "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" once dominated the north; and with "Above the Moon" and "Lotus Pond Moonlight" and other Phoenix legends that created hundreds of millions of downloads, it can be called the master of the Wulin League without suspense at that time.
Phoenix Legends
Talking about the prosperity of the crembell, everyone has their own masterpieces and memories. Like an admission ticket, the CRBT brings together singers active in different generations, regions and genres, evoking visitors' nostalgia for the beauty of the old.
For the youngsters led by the post-00s, the term CRBT is inevitably a little strange, but in the era when the listening channels are limited and the instant messaging and social software on the mobile end have not yet flourished, it is an indispensable flavoring agent that nourishes the spiritual life of the people.
Hearing the song of your own heart and setting it as a ringtone after downloading it is convenient to record the flow of thoughts and moods, but also carries the function of personality expression.
Around 2007, when I was still in elementary school, I had my first mobile phone. In addition to the built-in games, the most attractive thing for me was to modify the ringtone of the incoming caller, from "Have to Love", "Damn Gentle", to "Sorry Sorry"...
After many years, it is somewhat shameful to think back to the scene of "broadcasting" these songs in my pocket. But for me as a young age, they were nothing less than the earliest contact with pop culture, and each interlude was saddled with specific memory data.
It is not just ordinary people who have this "exclusive memory", when the pitching and doing data are not yet on fire, the number of CRBT downloads can undoubtedly most intuitively reflect the national popularity and market value of a singer.
So it is not difficult to understand why the color bells are mentioned, and the group of veterans who have been in the song world for many years in the show will be so kind.

With the full popularity of smart phones, the CRBT business has gradually declined after the second decade of this century, and the routine of people meeting has changed from exchanging numbers to "sweeping". But the way of communication is changing, and the euphoria when receiving a voice call from a close friend or family member will not be marked with a shelf life.
Four months ago, the latest version of WeChat added a color ringtone function for voice calls. In the face of this blockbuster news, netizens have called "Ye Qing Hui", after all, the initial ringtone is increasingly monotonous and lacking today, who does not want to cross back to the year that is like shopping in the self-selected mall, interesting and full?

It is worth mentioning that through the linkage with the video number of Hunan Satellite TV, "Time Concert" also sets the music in the program into a weChat color bell that can be shared, so that the audience can still enjoy the company of nature outside the venue.
The Old Age of Color Bells is just a small cut in "Time Concert". The effect pursued by the program is to use the golden song as the medium to create a quiet and comfortable time and space capsule for the audience, so that it can empty the body and mind, and isolate the tension, reality and pressure of the outside world.

Old bottles of new wine, still on top
Killing memories as a selling point is not a new practice in the category of music synthesis. In addition to the Time Concert, many shows have performed similar playing styles.
But the highlight of "Time Concert" is that the singers ostensibly sing the old songs that their parents often go to KTV, and the emotions in them are turbulent, and they can open the hearts of the majority of young people.
This is inseparable from the "mystery" hidden in the guest lineup, eight groups of musicians from both sides of the strait and three places, gathering singers who are well known to all generations.
Principal Tan and Li Keqin composed of "Left Lin Right Li", Zhang Jie and Yu Kewei as representatives of the new generation of drafts, Wang Sutaki and Phoenix Legend who became famous in the era of Internet songs... The spectrum slides back and forth, reflecting the appearance of the Chinese music scene at different times.

In each episode, the singers will take turns to sit in the house and reinterpret each other's classic masterpieces.
Speaking of which, I have to mention my favorite part of the show: the bookmaker on duty opens the letters written by other singers, invites the audience to join them in the air to the node where the song was born, listens to the projector turn, and projects mv clips of several hot songs of the year.
Tan Yonglin, Mui Yanfang, Zhen Ni and Andy Lau sing a clip of "Friends"
The whole process is filled with a small sense of ceremony, and together with the listener's expectation of the performance, it is invisibly raised by a few points.
Take the third issue of the "Phoenix Legend Special", for example, through the renaissance tide that has swept in recent months, netizens have been able to re-see the underestimated side of the national combination.
Phoenix Legend in "Time Concert"
When lead singer Linghua opened the letter and read out the iconic release years of 2007 and 2009, I suddenly realized:
They've been debuting for so long.
When it came to the performance, the guests did not stop at the reproduction of the original version, but combined their personal strengths with their understanding of the song to the greatest extent.
Ren Xianqi's original rap amplifies the appeal of the core of "Free Flight"; Xu Ruyun's version of "Lotus Pond Moon Color" cleverly blends in the bassa nova element, and the upgraded version of "Yun-style Singing Voice" sounds gentle and affectionate; Yu Kewei challenges the Mongolian long tone in "I Come from the Grassland", and the clear vocals are mixed with a bit of northwest ruggedness and vastness, and there is no sense of violation.
When finalizing the track, the program team also spent a lot of thought. In addition to a few blockbuster masterpieces, songs such as "Lady Xiang" that are "unpopular" also appear on the cover list.

"I've never heard Zhi Xuan ge sing in a throat-scraping tone." After watching Lin Zhixuan's wild rendition, Ling Hua said half-jokingly.
This is also the charm of the program setting, which can make different musical inspirations collide, rub out brilliant sparks, and also show that excellent musical works are never out of date, and they are highly malleable.
Like a well-colored base wine, its hooking ideas can be flexible and changeable, and each version has its own charm.
In the dialogue full of heritage, "Time Concert" can extend people's imagination of old songs, so that the audience who grew up listening to them can spy on the growth of their inner world over the years.
As for the majority of young people, even if they have not personally experienced the grand occasion of the music scene in the past, through such a precious opportunity, they can also receive the pure passion and emotion flowing in the old songs, and unlock the fun of digging treasures.

Audio synthesis version of "Friends"
As the bearer of the domestic variety show industry, Hunan Satellite TV has never lacked "explosive" sound synthesis.
From the early years of the Supergirl Fast Male series, to the "Sound into People's Hearts", "Singer", "Who is the Treasure Singer" in recent years... Picking out a show at will is the guarantee of high popularity and word-of-mouth quality.
When 90% of the music synthesis is leaning towards the flow thinking of competition, ranking, etc., in order to create gimmicks, it chooses to carve out a quiet island, using the superposition of natural scenes and elements such as lighting and soundtrack to create a warm feeling of the night talk of the hearth.
Especially in the guest recitation session, the soft and slow speech speed is supplemented by the sound of the guitar in the background, which makes people unload the tender hometown full of exhaustion and drunkenness in the dream.
Li Keqin read the letter
Haruki Murakami once wrote in "Afternoon Music Time with Seiji Ozawa" that music is something that can make people taste happiness, and there are all kinds of ways and means to make people happy.
The charm of "Time Concert" is also here: let the music go out of the recording studio and go outdoors, accompanied by the incessant insects in the mountains, birds and the rise and fall of the wind, providing the audience with an immersive live without post-modification and extra heart.
As the pace of the progress bar slows down, the unknown deeds behind some songs gradually surface.
President Tan mentioned that before his debut, he ran in a nightclub to sing, and then went to work the next morning, almost no sleep time; phoenix legends paid five thousand pieces of mv to meet the publicity threshold, can only go to the university to perform, but also because of the "strange" dress was compressed by the staff to perform time; Yu Kewei covered Liang Jingru's famous song "Ningxia" at the 30th anniversary concert of the Rolling Stones, and was booed by Liang Jingru's fans and smashed glow sticks.
Yu Kewei said after the Rolling Stones' 30th anniversary concert, "Ming'er shouted me to sing again"
The sad past of peers will always inspire strong resonance among the guests, and we who are outside the field, dominated by 996 and big and small weeks, have heard and sighed.
It turns out that no matter what kind of professional identity, everyone has survived from the hard days of "part-time work" and has today's dazzling achievements.
Along with these self-descriptions, the singers' originally distant and thin images suddenly came to life. At this time, listening to them sing again, in addition to being impressed by their skills, they have more indescribable feelings.
Just like Yu Kewei, who crushed "Passing through the Human World" into people's hearts word for word, he could turn his head and sing "I came from the grassland" with the same vocal cord. The opening and closing of her voice is intertwined with the hesitations she has experienced, adding some storytelling.

This is the introverted expression that belongs to the post-80s and 90s, after chewing on the personal loss, it is still necessary to metabolize the emotions, learn to let go, be indifferent, and talk and laugh with the world.
In this way, "Time Concert" can be rooted in the thinking of social values in addition to formal innovation, and successfully construct a pastoral music scene.
There is no high concept of mysteriousness, or exaggerated showmanship, only the tacit understanding between old friends, and the seemingly casual and relaxed, but direct to the heart of the singing.
It lets us know that only sincerity can bring temperature to a song. With this warmth, even the original props and sets can stir up the ocean currents that are rushing with emotions.
