In recent times, the news in the entertainment industry has become more lively than the last.
First, a certain ancient puppet show was aired, in which the male protagonist was criticized by the audience for his poor appearance, which angered the fans of the drama. Then the male protagonist's fans turned on the mic after the show, and a scolding war started.
followed a certain Hong Kong drama. With the plot of "everyone is engaged in career, no love brain", it became a hot search many times, allowing people to see the depth and breadth of female workplace dramas.
During the period, there was also a certain celebrity who shocked people for evading taxes worth tens of millions. Many netizens said that even a stupid person can make so much money, and he only works hard for a few thousand dollars every month. It is really This world is not worth it.
And just in the past two days, another blockbuster news in the entertainment industry has been exposed - some netizens questioned the lip-synching of top band Mayday's concert.
To be honest, when I first saw this news, I initially thought it was someone who was making fun of it.
You must know that many of my friends are fans of Mayday. Some even bought tickets for Mayday Shanghai and Guangzhou this year and traveled thousands of miles to watch their concerts.
At that time, my friend shared a lot of pictures and videos with me at the concert, saying that not only was the atmosphere at the concert great, but there were also huge crowds of people outside the venue.
As one of the most well-known bands in the Chinese music scene, Mayday’s reputation has always been online. Suddenly, they were exposed for lip-synching. Even though I am not a fan, I clicked on the news out of curiosity.
did not expect this, and found that it is not simple.
The person who broke the news about Mayday’s lip-synching was a video blogger from Station B. He analyzed the Mayday Shanghai concert videos uploaded online by fans in the past few days. After analyzing the sound source, he found that among the 12 songs, 5 songs are lip-synced.
Later, the video blogger went to listen to the video of Mayday’s concert in London last month and found that some of the 27 songs were lip-syncing and a mix of real and fake singing. After the
video was exposed, it immediately exploded on Weibo.
It didn’t take long for fans and passers-by to comment on it.
Among them, many fans said in the news:
"I don't believe that Mayday will lip-sync"
"We fans just want to feel the atmosphere when we go to the concert."
"What we buy at the concert is nothing more than bringing... My own emotional value, it’s enough for me to be happy”
However, some passers-by said that lip-synching in concerts is unacceptable.
In their view, lip-synching by a top band at a concert is no different from eating pre-made dishes in a five-star hotel. Especially those who paid high prices for tickets are paying for their own suffering. Purely What a great injustice.
I looked at the fares at Mayday Shanghai Station. The most expensive ticket is 1,855 yuan, emmm, it’s really not cheap.
Some netizens said that lip-syncing during concerts was already a violation of relevant regulations.
Judging from these regulations and requirements, there is no reason that can be understood or excused for lip-synching at large concerts.
Therefore, many people asked Mayday to respond. Some netizens who were dissatisfied with the lip-syncing at the concert even called various departments to complain and demanded strict investigation.
As the incident became more and more serious, the hot searches on Weibo were also dominated by Mayday.
Currently, Mayday has not responded to the lip-syncing news, but the relevant departments have stated that they have received complaints about this matter and will arrange for relevant staff to follow up.
I don’t know since when, there have been more and more news about lip-syncing.
still remembers the past. As long as a certain singer dared to lip-sync, what awaited him was overwhelming abuse.
For example, as early as 2005, Jang Nara, a popular domestic actress at the time, was found to be lip-synching because her singing voice could still be heard after throwing away the microphone during a performance. He was scolded by many viewers.
She later appeared with her father to apologize, but the audience still didn't buy it.
In 2006, Jordan Chan was questioned for lip-synching because a fan knocked off his microphone at a concert but he did not listen to the live music.
At that time, more than 20,000 spectators in the audience booed uniformly. Some angry spectators even rushed to the stage and knocked off his hat.
In the end, it was Jordan Chan's public apology that put the matter to rest.
As for the person who is most famous for lip-synching, it is undoubtedly Sa Dingding.
In 2016, she not only lip-synced at a party, but also held the microphone upside down. After she discovered that the microphone was upside down, she just calmly turned the microphone over and continued singing.
After the incident was exposed, Sa Dingding responded to the audience with an understatement, "Stop scolding, and act more delicately next time. Let's calm down!"
To be honest, I can't understand the singer. Why can I lip-sync at a concert?
In the past ten years, with the huge profit-making development of the entertainment industry, the appearance fees of celebrities have become more expensive. In the first half of this year alone, the box office revenue of performances reached 16.793 billion yuan.
is so popular, shouldn’t singers be more responsible for the stage and the audience?
As Mayday’s lip-syncing and other topics became hot searches, an interview with Han Hong was also uncovered.
Han Hong once said that if a professional singer can't sing, don't hold a concert!
I searched and found that there are actually singers who do this.
For example, Jacky Cheung, known as the "God of Song", canceled a concert because of swelling of his vocal cords.
"Model worker in the entertainment industry" Andy Lau also lost his voice due to sudden throat inflammation.
The concert had already started, but he did not choose to lip-sync. Instead, he insisted on singing part of the song first, and finally stopped singing at the strong request of the doctor.
After he stopped singing, he bowed, choked with sobs and apologized to the audience who came to listen to the song, and then announced that the concert was terminated.
What even such famous seniors can do, why can’t many singers nowadays do it?
Of course, it’s not just the old-timers who do this. Among the new generation singers, there are also those who refuse to lip-sync.
such as Deng Ziqi.
In 2019, she also developed a fever at a performance. At that time, someone asked her to lip-sync and sing.
But she refused. She chose to take a steroid before the show started, and then appeared on the stage as if nothing was wrong. The high notes still reached an octave, so steadily that no one could see any signs of illness.
After stepping down, she was so tired that she almost collapsed.
I don’t know since when, in order to make their performances perfect and atmospheric, singers and bands used lip-syncing to deceive the audience and create the illusion that you are good, I am good and everyone is good.
Gradually, many people accepted the phenomenon of lip-syncing. Over time, not only did some viewers not be able to tell the difference between real singing and lip-syncing, some fans even openly said that lip-synching was reasonable and reasonable in order to prevent errors on stage!
All I can say about this is outrageous!
When a singer holds a concert, the audience wants to hear you really sing. If you don't even have the courage to really sing on the mic, how can you get public recognition?
If a singer knows about a performance in the future and can just perfunctory it, how many people will still maintain strict self-discipline?
It's quite funny. There is a song by Mayday called "Life of Life". In this song, there is a line like this: The gods have retreated, and the ghosts are carnivaling.
In the past, this lyric was used to commemorate the prosperity of the entertainment industry in the past. Now, can this sentence also be used for Mayday himself?
I hope that this lip-syncing controversy will come to an end soon. I also hope that Mayday can take on the responsibility of an idol and come out to respond to this matter!
Finally, I also hope that some fans will think more about what a "normal" singer should look like?
