What makes the fifty year old woman hold her forehead and sigh frequently at midnight?
What makes the famous fried chicken bow its head and remain silent?
What makes movie stars pale and sobbing?
What makes a thin man curl up and shiver?
Behind all these tragedies, is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?

Seeing this, you may think that I'm running out of rice noodles. I make up jokes and talk nonsense every day. What I want to say is that those strange words may be true before, but this time they are not true.
Just last Friday, Hunan Satellite TV's "Singer 2024" was secretly broadcast on its own without much publicity. As you know, "Singer" can be regarded as the "most hardcore, top class, and most authentic" variety show in the domestic music world, and there have been countless top singers who will show their voice here.
For example, the late COCO Coco Lee won the title of "Singer King" in the fourth season of "I'm a Singer", and the dress she wore in the program was exactly the dress she wore to attend the dinner when she was nominated for the best original song of the 73rd Academy Awards. You see, even the queen of the song paid the same attention to both sides, and other Chinese music singers paid the same attention to "singer" Nature flocks.
Because of this, it is hard to avoid feeling that something is wrong when the "singer" with deep qualifications chooses to return in a low-key manner. When everything unusual comes together, you should expect that even more unusual things are still to come. Shortly after the first episode was broadcast, the program was indeed sent to microblog hot search by the overwhelming "tap water", and almost occupied the top ten of the list.
"Xia Donghai" and "Singer"
The reason for all this is that this "singer" and singer are very "awesome".
First of all, the program group publicly said that this time, the broadcast mode of "full live broadcast and no audio modification" was adopted to restore the most authentic audio-visual experience. At the same time, in order to be in line with international standards, the program also invited a number of foreign mysterious singers to exchange views with domestic musicians.
Maybe just looking at the "whole live broadcast without sound modification", you will feel that it is nothing. After all, it is a singing variety show with the nature of competition, so it should be. But you have to admit that we have been immersed in variety shows such as "half open wheat, lip synching, and voice repair" for too long, and the world has been suffering from lip synching for a long time.
What's more, the best is still ahead.
Let's talk about the guests first. The two foreign guests invited to this issue are Chant é Moore of the United States and Faouzia of Canada.
Take Chant é for example, these sisters are famous American jazz singers, and are regarded as the perfect heirs of Ella Fitzgerald. I thought I was a judge when I came to the "Singer" this time, but I was pulled onto the stage the next second.
But even so, the sisters were not ambiguous at all, and shocked everyone when they spoke. Whether it's the loud and strong "smoking and drinking voice" unique to jazz singers, or the final dolphin whistle, or the casual jam passage in the song, or even the "high position voice transfer" in the middle of the song, it is enough to prove that these sisters are really awesome. On the other hand, it is not difficult to see from the expression of Na Ying below the stage that the scene sounds really enjoyable.
At the same time, we are all familiar old faces in the music world: Na Ying, second-hand Rose, Rainie Yang, Wang Sulong, Hai Lai Amu. At first glance, the domestic lineup is not bad. There are not only Na Ying, but also Wang Sulong, a well-known pop musician, and Hai Lai Amu, a groundbreaking dithering singer.
However, when our singer officially performed on the stage, everyone at the scene was silent. If two international friends brought the Grammy stage to Hunan, Rainie Yang and Wang Sulong turned the stage into a music festival. At the end of the festival, the second-hand roses, songs and suona sounded, bringing everyone to the "grave of Chinese music" and kowtowing to the grave together.
Let's compare teacher Na Ying's expression. This time, the expression is more complicated. Do you enjoy it? Not very clear, but it must be full of complexity, entanglement and struggle.
Obviously, this cultural exchange between China and the West has made a mistake. I wanted to be in line with the international standards, but I got off the track first.
The results after the game also just proved this point
At the beginning, netizens were able to explain: "It's too bullying for you to compare 'Jazz Queen' with our young musicians. Why don't you call Meimei to compete?".
But in the follow-up interview, Chant é said that he was originally the judge of the next few programs, and he appeared as a guest star "hiding the guests who kicked the hall". However, because of various reasons, he became a contestant in the first race, so he had to catch the latest plane to fly to China for rescue. In addition, I was dragged to make up and dress on the spot before I got off the plane and had jet lag. Finally, I just had a good rest on the chair for two hours, and then I was the first to sing on the stage.
Sixteen hours before he came on stage to sing
This is "five full blood in the home battle, but also by the residual blood counter kill" - the hard power gap was exposed. Na Ying, the only Chinese in the top three, naturally became the last fig leaf.
Interestingly, the Manchu surname "Yehenala" in Naying also corresponds to the surname of old Buddha Cixi. So, one summer in the 21st century, while saying, "Children, I'm back", the old Buddha fought against foreigners again on the stage.
And the "friendly cultural exchange between the East and the West" has also become the "defense war of the Qing Dynasty".
At the same time, the words of the Jade Emperor: "Go quickly to invite the Tathagata Buddha" seem particularly appropriate here. Netizens who have spontaneously become "100000 Heavenly Soldiers" have begun to look for people who can suppress these two "Black Goku" from the "Western Blissful World".
As a result, the singers who once shone in the "singers" were rediscovered one by one, and then netizens "petitioned" under the singer's social account.
For example, the "Phoenix Legend", which is still on the road of tour performance, was first begged by netizens: stop the military training activities and come to help the Buddha quickly;
Lin Zhixuan, the love song prince who won the runner up of the first "Singer" with a single love song, was also drowned out by the voice of netizens;
Also, Deng Ziqi, the "Goldfish Sister" who eats beef noodles on the live broadcast, saw more than one million viewers in the live broadcast room shortly after the broadcast. Looking at the full screen of "willing to fight", Deng Ziqi repeatedly said that he could not participate in the tour.
Faced with the situation that these old singers with high hopes have refused to appear, netizens who have no way out place place their hope of "saving the Chinese music world" on "folk high passers-by".
Therefore, Lei Jun became the "savior" in netizens' minds with a song "Are you OK" in the "UC Shaker List" a few days ago.
For a while, scrawling "war petition" in various places on the Internet has become the most popular online activity these days. All kinds of maps, led by Yinghe "Laofo Ye", have also become the necessary "fashion items" on the Internet. If you don't watch the "Singer", and don't know who we should find to "revitalize the Chinese music world", even if you don't have a few Yehenala Naying facial expression bags in hand - friends, you are doomed, and you are completely left behind by the carriage of the times.
But in fact, we can easily see that the "shaking" action of netizens, whether calling professional singers or looking for "folk high achievers", is just a "aimless madness" in the end. After all, we all know that in today's environment of "singing depends on sound repair, and lip synching in concert", only those 50 or 60 year old singers can be successful in Chinese music. When these people can't save the scene for various reasons, "crazy" becomes another way to relieve pressure.
It seems that everyone is calling for "someone to save the old Buddha", but it is actually "saving the Chinese music world" - we can't even find a few young singers who can make it.
At the same time, we also understand that it is difficult to change anything by playing with spooks, facial expression packs and asking for war - the so-called "incompetent rage" is a revolt against the current environment.
However, this crazy trend soon became wrong.
When many singers responded to netizens' crazy literature in a joking way, Han Hong's solemn "I invite you to fight" made the whole event start to ferment for the second time.
From this moment on, the event was completely divided into two - the irony and self mockery were not as good as foreigners, which was simply a "disgrace" behavior.
Therefore, whether it is the well-known old singers or the singers who have never heard of their names, they all shoulder the mission of "protecting the country" at this moment, and have announced that they will fight for the "honor of the country" - from music exchange to some kind of cultural resistance.
However, the carnival originally belonging to "aimless" netizens began to deviate from the track after being set up with a clear "purpose". Originally about the exchange and discussion of music, facing up to the gap between local musicians and foreign musicians has become no longer important.
As a result, the netizens of "Huiguo Weier", led by the singers, have changed from "shaking people to fight" to "shaking people to vote" - the task of renovating the Chinese music world is not to lose face.
But is the purpose of this variety show to "compete with foreigners, but also determine life and death"?
Obviously not.
The original intention of "singer" is "music exchange" rather than "music confrontation", and everyone should focus on music rather than singer's nationality.
The old Buddha gave up the chance to connect with the world because of his arrogance of "a great empire", and finally swallowed the consequences.
Now, the opportunity is once again in front of the Chinese music world.
Joking that "the old Buddha" can come back, but don't really let the old Buddha get hurt.
