[Reflection]
It’s time for changes in the Chinese music scene
The stunning performance of the two international singers is like a "catfish", stirring up the Chinese music scene.
In fact, as the top music variety show in the mainland, "Singer" has never been the same. Lack of international vision. In the past eight seasons of the show, international singers such as Dimash, Sheila, Kristian Kostov, Polina Gagarina, etc. have appeared one after another. "Sister Stone" Jessie J even won three consecutive weekly competitions, finally defeating Tengger and Wang Feng and others won the title of "King of Singers"
So, why is the response from the broadcast of Shanti Mo and Fanxia so amazing?
The big move released by "Singer 2024" is an important reason- -Sign a "one take" agreement with each singer, requiring that no matter what happens on the spot, they must complete the performance in one go and use a "real live broadcast" broadcast format to face the public directly to avoid the possibility of over-editing.
This allows Chinese singers who are accustomed to post-production modifications, undertones, half-mics and even lip-syncing to be "naked" and use their most authentic singing skills to face the audience for inspection, eliminating the gap in singing ability between the two parties. Escape.
He Jiong revealed during the live broadcast that as a powerful representative in the Chinese music scene, Na Ying felt a lot of pressure in the face of real live and one-take competitions. She was fully prepared for this and started "fitting out and practicing Qi" long in advance. , Nourish your voice." At the previous press conference, Na Ying also admitted that she was a "surprise" when she initially agreed to join, but after the director told her that the whole process would be broadcast live, the "surprise" turned into "fright": "Previously, the recording of the program was all done in advance. After recording, although it is real singing and not lip-synching, the cruelty of recording and live broadcasting is different." Na Ying said that she has been having nightmares since receiving the news: "I have always dreamed that I was in a car accident at the scene. It's full of 'car accidents'."
"Big Sisters in the Music Industry" are all so stressed. No wonder Hong Xiao is helpless. When the singers heard about the live broadcast, they all "escaped" from him.
In sharp contrast, in front of the local singers who shouted about tension and pressure, the two foreign singers seemed calm and relaxed - from the press conference, to the program site to the post-match interview, Shanti Mo and Fanshiya were both He did not express any opinions on the live broadcast and onetake competition format. For foreign singers, "nervousness" only corresponds to the uncertainty of facing an unfamiliar market, unfamiliar audience and unfamiliar stage, rather than from the level of business capabilities - in the European and American music circles, live broadcast and one take are routine requirements, and It is a pioneering work that allows singers to step out of their comfort zone.
In short, for a long time, under the protection of late-stage technology, many Chinese singers "singing skills are not enough to improve their voices". They have become accustomed to being "ostriches" and "frogs in the well" in the warm water environment and fans' comments. ”, not only too lazy to face his true singing skills, but also neglecting to polish his business abilities.
When "Singer 2024" showed the gap in strength between overseas singers and Chinese singers, the "fig leaf" was lifted and the "Emperor's New Clothes" was revealed. Netizens’ concerns about the development trend of the Chinese music scene have appeared in the form of memes and traffic carnivals.
Only by knowing the gap can we make up for it. With the courage to face the truth, "Singer 2024" has given the Chinese music scene a slap in the face, and also reminded "singers who have improved their voices" - it's time for , and less fan filtering. mirror, self-narcissism and reliance on technology and hard work, and have more self-requirements for excellence in professionalism and strength!
