Hunan Satellite TV's entertainment program - "Singer" has returned after four years of idle time. It is indeed the number one master in the domestic entertainment industry. The first issue of "Singer 2024" became a hit on the entire Internet, making mainland China's music and mainland entertainment circles once again a hotly searched topic. The main breaking point of
is that the program once again invited "foreign monks" to the stage to compete with a number of Chinese and foreign singers including Na Ying, who is known as the "eldest sister of the mainland music scene".
But in the results of the first period, the top two were easily won by two foreign singers, and it still had the feeling of "dimensionality reduction attack". The face of the Chinese music scene was a little embarrassed.
In fact, these two foreign singers, the Canadian-Moroccan Vancia and the American singer Shanti Moe, were not well-known to the Chinese people before. They are obviously not the kind of figures who have already become famous in the world music scene. Sister Na Ying, who is called "please ask me Na La to fight for the country", is actually a benchmark and judge-level figure in the domestic music scene! And speaking of age, American singer Shanti Moe is nearly 60 years old.
Chinese people like to say: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and run around." In recent years, the domestic entertainment industry has only focused on "involution", and there are few opportunities to compete with foreign singers on the same stage. "It seems extremely lively. However, under the circumstances of not wanting, being unwilling and not daring to "go out", and now suddenly being "introduced", it has become the result of "I don't know, but I am shocked"!
Over the years, the mainland music scene has been catching up in popular music. For example, it was first beaten by Hong Kong and Taiwan music, and then gradually caught up. But for some reason, as the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao As Taiwan becomes more and more integrated and music levels become closer and closer, the level of Chinese pop music represented by the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places has fallen into a "twenty years of downturn".
Compared with foreign countries, there may be certain differences and distances in the length and thickness of popular music history, and even in musical genes and human race physique. If we compare our levels horizontally, there may be a gap or reality.
However, in the vertical path of self-music history, in the past two decades, it is difficult to see the flourishing and prosperous scene of talented singers and classic songs that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s. What is the reason for
? ——This has a lot to do with the excessive marketization and commercialization of music and other entertainment, and following the social trend of "everything is about money". Our musicians are more and more embracing the market, such as commercial performances, online live broadcasts, entertainment reality shows, etc., which have become the main channels for making quick money and making big money. However, there are still only a few people who are really serious about musicians. Woolen cloth?
Even if they hold personal concerts, most of them are eager for quick success, making fake and shoddy phenomena such as voice modification and lip-synching become commonplace; musicians concentrate on music - just like Dao Lang, who has been grinding for ten years. Swordsmen are almost extinct.
On the contrary, people in domestic entertainment are basically obsessed with practicing "idol worship". Disgusting things such as "fan circles, fandoms, controlled reviews, familiarity, fund pools, and trolls" are emerging in endlessly. There is no bottom line.
"Kung Fu lies outside of poetry", but it has been used to the extreme in reverse study and practice - most of it is used in Kung Fu other than music. The profession is not taken seriously, and the professional level has of course declined accordingly. This time, including Na Ying and other Chinese The gap in professional skills and comprehensive level between the singer and the two less famous foreign singers is a good proof.
However, faced with the embarrassing situation that even Na Ying could only accompany him in third place, instead of deeply reflecting on the reasons, in the domestic entertainment industry and on the Internet, there was a wave of "Han Hong please come out to fight"... etc. "So-and-so" The public opinion and propaganda trend of "fighting for the country" - is this true dissatisfaction? In fact, it's more of a rhythmic self-promotion. In doing so,
is, firstly, taking advantage of this hot spot to play the "popularity" trick that is most loved and practiced in the domestic entertainment industry; secondly, it is essentially using the word "patriotism" and pasting it on it. On top of this hot search, it has become a major traffic label for entertainment hype.
Originally, it was just a performance on the same stage. However, as long as you lose to a foreigner, you have to hold high the banner of "fighting for the country." This is a bit too pan-entertainment - patriotism is a naturally pure and pure thing. As for nouns and emotions with noble attributes, please let people in the entertainment industry not be so casual and use them as labels to fool fans!
The "Singer" program is a commercial music entertainment performance. The so-called pk, the so-called competition - even if Chinese and foreign contestants are on the same stage, it is still essentially a professional competition.
It's a joy to win, and it doesn't matter if you lose. As long as you realize the gap, calm down, do your job well, and catch up in the future.
The world is so big that there are so many similar "competitions". There are already countless Chinese and foreign players competing on the same stage - and competing on the same stage for entertainment is obviously not the same as competitive sports played in the name of the country.
Singers compete in a market-oriented environment with a strong commercial flavor. If Chinese and foreign singers compete on the same stage and label them "competing for the country", this lacks seriousness and is more likely to be " "Patriotism" has been overly commercialized and vulgarized.
In fact, our domestic entertainment industry should reflect on why, in such a globalized era, we who close our doors to entertain ourselves feel the gap when facing the more exciting world outside. So big?
Is it because we lack the foundation of music? Do Chinese people lack musical genes? Obviously not, but why is it so difficult for our new music talents to emerge in an endless stream?
This makes people think of the shocking phenomenon of the "King of Folk Singers" Daolang's comeback after ten years last year, especially his ridicule of "chicken and horse households" through his works, which once again caused the public to reflect on the Chinese music scene. A chaotic discussion, and Na Ying, who won third place this time, is actually a major "protagonist" in this turbulent whirlpool...
China's domestic entertainment industry has actually become a major reflection of social reality: Gang style, internal strife, mutual fighting, interests first, jealousy of talents... Such a mixed entertainment ecology forced the official to issue a rule involving "strictly prohibiting lip-synching" - this rule itself is The best portrayal of the extreme state of China's domestic entertainment industry. Isn't this also a rare official regulation in the world's music scene?
The so-called "patriotism" in essence means that everyone must do their own job well, work hard for themselves and their families, and abide by ethics and laws. Then they will definitely be a qualified patriot.
However, when someone talks about "patriotism" frequently or every day, it often makes people doubt their true motives - in most cases, patriotism is just a prop used by these people for performances. He wants to use this high-ranking name for personal gain, which is basically the same.
When "patriotism becomes a business", the beautiful feelings and serious connotation of patriotism will constitute a commercial and vulgar deconstruction and harm, just like underwear that people wear every day, but some people want it. Wearing it on your head every day will make people suspect that it may have hidden impure purposes.
Therefore, it is obvious that the "Singer" program is used to implement the rhythmic hype of "someone is fighting for the country". It is better to play less tricks to gain popularity and become a hot search.
It’s better to really calm down and practice your real skills. Don’t let the “beautiful looks” such as voice repair and lip-synching ruin yourself, let alone the trend of not engaging in internal strife and fighting without benefit. It has entered China's domestic entertainment industry and affected the whole society - after all, a society where all the people are keen on "lip-syncing" can never become a real music power! And in a country where some people frequently use the slogan "patriotism" as a fig leaf and a business tool, in the end, it will only spoil this pure and great emotion!
