"Chengfeng 2024" is making noise again.
music directors Zhao Zhao and Liu Xin had a fierce disagreement over the adaptation of "Dongfeng Po" by Wugong Stage.
The result of the quarrel was that Zhao Zhao left the stage with the words "I love you" and left the stage, while Liu Xin, who insisted on changing his own rules, gave the stage of "Dongfeng Po" the highest score of 903.
What’s embarrassing is that the show is over. The key word left by “Dongfeng Po” on the Internet is: unpleasant.
Artistic aesthetics is a very subjective matter, but such an extreme evaluation makes this version of "Dongfeng Po" more interesting.
Yue Opera version of "Dongfeng Po", high score but ugly?
Ever since it was decided that Liu Xin and Chen Lijun would team up to sing "East Wind Breaks", Liu Xin has been very determined to create a stage where Junjun's Yue opera advantages can be brought into full play. She'll make up for it.
We have seen many "popular opera works" in the past. In fact, they are mainly popular, with opera embellishments to enhance the charm of the whole piece of music. However, if it is changed to Yue opera as the main one, the integration difficulty will increase a lot.
Chen Lijun also knew that the difficulty of this song was "fusion", so she spent a lot of time adapting the song, modifying the melody and lyrics, trying to make the whole song consistent.
However, during the quiz, teacher Zhao Zhao pointed out the problem of “integration”.
The first is Sister Liu Xin’s aria. It starts out an octave lower and sounds very heavy. The melody is hard to hear, and Chen Lijun’s voice is so high that it keeps floating in the sky.
In addition, sister Chen Lijun’s lyrics are too simple. Every time she comes to the chorus, it’s the same three sentences, which makes people feel too repetitive.
However, Liu Xin felt that she used low-pitched narration and narration to highlight Chen Lijun's niche singing voice. If she sang in a high tone, the niche part would not be obvious. She still hopes to express this version of "Dongfeng Po" in a more pure Yue opera style. After
, the two sides continued to work together, but they never reached an agreement. During the rehearsal before Wu Gong, the conflict finally broke out.
Zhao Zhao means that Liu Xin’s harmony and Chen Lijun’s voice are not pleasant to hear. His suggestion for modification is to change the singing method of the main melody into the last part, because there are enough expressions about opera in the previous part. Returning to the main melody in the last part can capture the audience's resonance and sense of relief.
Liu Xin did not agree to sing the main melody together, and the performance was about to be performed and he did not want to make any adjustments. During the discussion, he became emotional and asked, "Aren't we supposed to be beautiful and artistic?" "We are all professionals, not now. Is there something wrong with my singing?"
Zhao Zhao's vocal teacher heard her series of questions, was silent for a moment, and replied: "Let's see how to define this problem."
Zhao Zhao continued to make modifications in the harmony, narrowing the scope of modifications to two sentences, hoping that Liu After Xin was able to settle down, Liu Xin agreed that "there is no more fighting", but immediately pointed out "several areas of overlap."
Then Zhao Zhao broke out, "Do whatever you like," and expressed his attitude without signing his name.
At the end of the final performance, "Dongfeng Po" scored 903 points, becoming the highest score in the audience. The problem was the entry of #东风波综合#, and there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Liu Xin and Zhao Zhao finished their quarrel offline, and it was the netizens’ turn to quarrel online.
Which reform method is more reasonable?
Netizens were more excited than when they were face to face...
supported Zhao Zhao. They believed that the problem of voice fighting and vocal separation was indeed quite obvious, and the music director had the right to adjust the songs, and he could not be pointed out by the music director that they did not sound good. Listen to the advice, right?
In addition, the main melody of the original song is the core of the entire song, and any adaptation should in principle protect the main melody. Changing it from beginning to end will make everyone feel unfamiliar after listening to it, and there is even no need to spend a lot of money to purchase the copyright of the original song.
Including during the Wu Gong rehearsal, Yuan Yawei from the next group saw this section in the practice room, and her impressions were consistent with Zhao Zhao at the scene, thinking that "the melody should not be changed here, and should be sung again."
The other party supported the two sisters and believed that the final chorus part had a feeling of "traveling through ancient and modern times and resonating across the sky", which matched well with the design concept of the entire stage.
even jumped out of the harmony part to praise his sister's persistence and breakthrough, thinking that this is very spirited of breaking the waves, and then placed Teacher Zhao Zhao in the position of "old-fashioned and stubborn" and suggested that if you want to listen to the original song, you can directly look for Jay Chou's version.
Some passers-by also suggested that from now on, Sister Lang should just listen to her sister. Anyway, whether the stage looks good or not, whether it sounds good or not is not that important. What fans see is the process of her sister expressing her abilities, and the result is not important.
I pulled two videos and compared the quiz version and the stage version of "Dongfeng Po" sentence by sentence. In fact, Liu Xin and Chen Lijun also "listened to the advice", but they did not fully adopt his suggestions.
For example, regarding the question raised in the quiz about the low and high voices, Liu Xin still insisted on the "Nian Bai" voice at the time of Wu Gong, but Junjun lowered the key, and the two sides compromised to improve the integration, and The lyrics of Junjun's chorus were also fleshed out according to Zhao Zhao's opinion.
As for Zhao Zhao, when he first set the tone for the song, he agreed to add Chen Lijun's dramatic voice to the verse, but he just emphasized "don't change the melody too much."
When it came time to start practicing, the teachers from Zhao Zhao’s team also made a lot of adjustments and modifications to Chen Lijun’s Yue Opera accent, striving to better integrate the opera accent with the original melody.
The sisters insisted on playing their songs to the fullest without any regrets. He also expressed that he understood, but within the limited time, he could not make them reach a consensus and harmonize the songs to a balanced state.
It can be said that the presentation of "East Wind Breaks" is destined to make sacrifices and concessions from one of the parties. However, Liu Xin and Zhao Zhao are also relatively temperamental artists, and neither of them is willing to compromise or compromise, and in the end it becomes a head-on confrontation.
Before some netizens understood the complete incident, they took sides and said that Liu Xin was ugly and refused to listen to advice, or that Zhao Zhao did not respect his sister's expression and the Shaoxing opera, and said that not a single point in 903 had anything to do with him. That is definitely not true. Fair.
Artists braved the wind and waves, and staff overcame obstacles
Yesterday, Zhao Zhao also posted a short essay on Weibo to retell the incident. So in his statement, what is there room for discussion?
First of all, since it is a variety show, regardless of whether it is a bad cut or not, there is definitely the possibility of omissions. The duration of the program is limited. For an event that happened over a few days, everyone will only see a few minutes. It is impossible for a large number of details to be exposed to the audience.
For example, why did Zhao Zhao not mention the issue of harmony and fighting during the quiz? What specific adjustments did Liu Xin and Chen Lijun make after the quiz? Why this change? There is no way to present it to the audience in detail.
Personally, I feel that although Zhao Zhao’s words in this short essay seem to be still angry, there is still a paragraph that is relatively polite. This "there are still problems that have not been solved" is obviously other problems, and it is also a part that is not discussed in the main film of the program. .
It’s hard to tell who has a more intense attitude or whose expression is more unreasonable based on the feature film. However, Mango Terrace has a fine tradition of caring more about acquaintances. Personally, I don’t think that I would be cruel to an artist like Liu Xin who came out of his own family, but if I am impatient, I will.
Secondly, Zhao Zhao talks so eloquently, which is actually a problem for staff on similar programs.
Famous artists are still a bunch of famous artists gathered together. No matter how powerful the staff is, they have to remain polite on the surface. What happened to more staff is the tough guy who cried in the first season, Kenn:
It is said that no one scolded him or counted him down at the time, but he was under inexplicable pressure and couldn't control his tears.
Akenn would not be like this in other competitive variety shows. In the "Tron" draft, he would directly criticize players who are not in shape and are not worthy of being in this industry.For other programs, the creative team can bring out their own rich experience system, but in programs composed of artists such as "Lang" and "Phi", each artist has a rich experience system.
The biggest difference between variety shows and filming dramas is that the actors in the crew have very standard schedules and arrangements by the director team, while variety shows rely heavily on the artist's consciousness. In the sister series and brother series, the most direct method of criticizing cannot be used.
Communication costs will naturally become huge. In the
program, it was all the artists who rode the waves, but in the end it was basically the staff and the artists who rode the waves together.
In the barrage area of "Dongfeng Po", I saw a comment that I thought was very appropriate - "I won't listen to it repeatedly, but I will watch it again and again."
Zhao Zhao’s main business is making music. He mostly considers the song itself, hoping that the final effect of the work will be harmonious and smooth, so that this work can be accepted by more audiences to the greatest extent, even if he leaves The public can still accept this version of "Dongfeng Po" due to the emotional feeling of stage live, and will listen to it repeatedly and spread it spontaneously.
Of course, the final presentation mode of this work is the stage, and visual effects account for a large proportion. I think this is also the reason why Liu Xin insists.
is a female artist who had the best appearance among a group of girls when she debuted. Later, her appearance was a bit visual, and her painting style changed a lot. Her prediction of visual presentation is accurate, and she has no idea how to adjust Chen Lijun's performance in "Dongfeng Po" The functionality is also precise.
I can understand why Zhao Zhao is worried about Liu Xin - in Liu Xin's previous career experience, there were many times when Liu Xin took desperate risks and took the wrong approach, and the directing team may not accept it; Zhao Zhao is the person in charge of the music section of the program He has a certain function of communicating between the artists and the director team. This is his job.
As a staff member, I don’t think there is a problem with Zhao Zhao’s attitude. His only problem is that like Liu Xin, he is too serious and forgets that this is a reality show. If he shows off his face, it will become material.
e sister's conclusion:
From beginning to end, Zhao Zhao and Liu Xin were "technically arguing", and no matter how they quarreled, it was justified. There are some fans of
who make personal attacks out of touch with the facts, or directly escalate the conflict into a gender battle, asking why a man has the right to direct an all-female show, which is very boring. After all, there are also girls among the staff who hold objections. There is no point in quarreling with Zhao Zhao as a fan of
. After the recording of a show like this is finished, my sister may still collaborate with him on the next show when she is in a group. If artists and staff were so petty towards each other, it would be difficult to achieve today's status in the industry.
Not to mention artists and staff, if we disagree on our daily work, we can pat each other on the table, shake folders, and have a few bouts of yin and yang, it is very common, and it will not affect our next milk tea fight at all.
This matter is just a reminder to the reality show staff. Showing too much emotion can easily become the starting point for over-interpretation by public opinion.
Finally, the current trend is "whoever is emotionally unstable will be ignored", and then reverses it to the point that whoever shows his emotions first will be voted down by everyone from workplace maturity to professionalism. It is true that meeting emotionally stable colleagues must be a great blessing in life, but judging the level of creation based on who is more emotionally stable is obviously contrary to the artistic attributes of the artist.
The selling point of the artists themselves is their characteristics, and the skills of the staff are stability. If it were you, whose mentality would you understand better?
