Recently, the variety show "Singer 2024" adopted a live broadcast mode with full open mic, no pitch modification, and one pass for competitive performances, eliminating the "sound filter" and "semi-lip-syncing" phenomena commonly seen in traditional music programs, and The singer's truest voice and basic skills are displayed. The contestants bluntly said that they were under a lot of pressure and even "didn't sleep well for a few days after the live broadcast." Remove "embellishing" and simplify "packaging". In the current era of filters, how can such a real-life competition be refreshing?
In literary and artistic creation, beautifying packaging must be viewed in two parts. It is understandable that properly covering blemishes and brightening colors can enhance the audience’s aesthetic experience. However, everything should be done in a personal way, and over-beautification or even uniform filters can make the work beautiful but boring, and also undermine the diversity of art. As for those low-quality creations that rely on manuscript washing, high imitation, and "face-changing grafting" to mass-produce them, they will only be annoying. All these things make the audience yearn for "truth" even more, even if this "truth" is not perfect. Many netizens left messages saying they would rather hear real singing with broken sounds at a concert than seemingly perfect lip-synching.
Only works that are full of true feelings, real materials and insights can gain long-term traffic and achieve "long-term popularity". The moving Malanhua Children's Choir at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics started practicing breathing and learning Mandarin, practicing little by little, practicing again and again, and using real efforts in exchange for moving melodies. The TV series "Mountains and Seas" insists on adapting true events, on-site shooting, and dialect performances, and uses small stories to tell the big times, and has become a screen classic. Art forms are ever-changing and technology is developing at a rapid pace, but the true meaning of literary and artistic creation is to use one heart to move another heart, and this remains unchanged. It can be seen that only "sincerity" is the eternal "nirvana".
On the stage of "Singer 2024", there was also a scene that caused heated discussion. The overall performance of Chinese singers was not as good as that of the two foreign singers. Immersive viewing of the game inevitably involves emotions, and the way of fighting in the ring is also more confrontational and enjoyable, but there is no need to amplify the so-called "antagonism". Music exchange is also cultural mutual learning. The goal is to achieve common progress through mutual learning and competition. This is also a truth-seeking process. You might as well enjoy the performance with an open and tolerant mind and wait and see what happens next.
