"The Masked Singer" is written by Jiang. Su Satellite TV's ace variety show introduced from South Korea's MBC, the Korean version of "The Masked Singer" 2015 New Year's special has received super high ratings in just one episode, and its biggest feature is that all star singers cover their faces with masks, and the audience has no way to distinguish the identity of the singer, and all the scoring criteria are only based on the singer's singing voice. The anti-timerly move of "The Masked Singer" represents his attitude towards music, not pursuing impetuousness and liveliness, but only seeking the most primitive sound of music.

In this era of eating by face, there are many singing competition programs that abandon their roots and rely on sensationalism and competition to attract attention, ignoring the essence of music, and "The Masked Singer" returns to its original intention, does not look at the face, only listens to the song, which is more fair and suspenseful than "I Am a Singer".

Throw away the idol baggage, take off the star halo, and return to the most authentic music stage.

However, if you really want to copy it, Lu Deshuang will definitely copy the Korean version, not the Chinese version of "The Masked Singer".

As for why, it's actually quite simple.

I have to say that the Chinese version of "The Masked Singer" does have his uniqueness, but there are also a lot of complaints.

The performance form of "The Masked Singer" seems to be novel and returns to the essence of music on the surface, but after a little thought, I found that the logic of the show does not make sense at all.

Invite a small coffee to come, you can't attract the audience, the judges are more famous than the contestants, then it becomes a joke, and it is destined to be wide. Like the similar program "Lepai Lego" on East Satellite TV, it can't stir up the waves when it throws stones into the water, and is finally forgotten; If you can't recognize who it is just by listening to the voice, the lack of recognition of the voice is already the biggest failure for the singer; If you already recognize who it is, the biggest gimmick of masking immediately becomes meaningless, and if you continue to pretend to it, it will become a funny monkey show like guessing the jury. So the gimmick of this show is greater than the substance, the internal logic is self-contradictory, and it is doomed to failure from the beginning.

The success of the original Korean program is inseparable from the characteristics of South Korea's own variety show environment and artist system. South Korea has a large number of idol artists who are drowned in idol groups with a certain strength but are not well-known, and masked PK is meaningful and surprising. However, China's national conditions are different, blindly copying the form of Korean programs, and naturally adapting to the water and soil.

However, the excellent competition system of the Korean version of the program, the Chinese version has been drastically changed.

The Korean version of the singer does not reveal his identity in each issue, maintains a sense of mystery, and does not lift the mask until the next PK fails, but while revealing the old suspense, it creates a bigger new suspense for the audience - who is the new singer with higher strength who can PK him? Therefore, it can firmly hold the audience's appetite and continue to watch it.

On the one hand, the suspense has been broken, and the semi-finals and finals have long been out of character, giving people a sense of copycat songs; On the other hand, there are five singers left who have failed in PK to continue the show, and the new singers who come in the next issue will either win and advance directly, or there will be five old faces left; Either you lose, or it's just the promotion of the second strongest in the last period, leaving five weaker losers to continue to tear up.

The big waves wash the sand, but the rest is all residue and sediment, and the level of the program will inevitably deteriorate, so you want to watch such a program that is not as good as one episode?

The first episode of the show has not yet been broadcast, and the real bodies of the six singers have already been guessed by netizens, and even the list of singers circulating on the Internet before the broadcast turned out to be almost all successful. The biggest and only gimmick of the show has died in name only, and it is actually just my song wearing a mask and pretending to be.

But if we talk about the essence of music, although there is also Mr. Liang Qiaobai in charge, it is difficult to surpass the excitement of my songs.

First of all, the strength of the six singers is uneven, and the performance of the four PK games is very different, and the results are not surprising.

Ding Dang's strength is slightly inferior, and Ou Di sang a parody show, all of which came to play soy sauce. Li Quan and Sun Nan deliberately changed their voices and singing methods in order to hide their identities, and they sang crookedly and didn't even give full play to half of their normal strength, but they were inadvertently betrayed by their piano playing style and unique nasal voice.

Xu Ruyun chose a song "Nothing" that was not suitable for her, although the opening of the cappella was very tasteful, and the unique ending that forced Virgo to death was even more silent than sound, but her signature voice was almost drowned out by the accompaniment in the climax, resulting in a great reduction in the overall effect. Only Li Keqin did not deliberately cover up his voice, and went all out to play zero flaws, and the final victory was ironclad.

What's more, in addition to the singing competition of "I Am a Singer", the interaction between singers is also a major attraction and the source of a large number of hot topics, but "The Masked Singer" inherently waved a knife to cut off this half of the country, the singer has nothing to do except sing on stage, and the backstage tidbits are almost non-existent, and the whole show is just to keep rushing the process, and it will be boring to watch two more episodes.

Since "The Masked Singer" has so many shortcomings, why don't you choose "I Am a Singer", and still stubbornly choose "The Masked Singer", in fact, there is a trace of selfishness in Lu Deshuang.

At the beginning, Lu Deshuang once promised Huang Bo to let him realize his dream of being a singer, but it was not a coincidence, it was either "The Son of Heaven", or preparing for the art exam, and when the exam was over, "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Infernal Affairs" came again, and there was no time to realize the dream of a singer.

Therefore, when faced with the choice between "I Am a Singer" and "The Masked Singer", Lu Deshuang subconsciously chose "The Masked Singer", because it is difficult for the former to let Huang Bo appear on this stage, because Huang Bo's popularity in the music world is limited to the bar and nightclub in Beiping, and the only song that can be taken out is a Blue Lotus, which does not meet the conditions of the contestants in "I Am a Singer".

And "The Masked Singer" is different, you must know that Huang Bo's singing skills are no worse than other singers, the reason why he has not been able to come out for a long time is that he is not appreciated by Bole, he is not born at the right time, and he has gradually become disabled.

As for those shortcomings, they are not unavoidable, and if you look closely, you will find that in fact, "The Masked Singer" is like a synthesis of "The Voice of China" and "I Am a Singer", the singers take off their halos and put on masks to the stage, and the audience can't see their faces, listen to music with curiosity, and feel the original charm of music. And after listening to the music, guessing the true identity of the person behind the mask is indeed a fun entertainment project.

When Lu Deshuang said his thoughts, Su Da suddenly stared at his pockets, looking incredulous, and said excitedly: "Deshuang, I really want to open your head to see the structure inside, whether it is more brainy than others, if it is not my temporary proposal, I have to wonder if you are specially prepared to be creative and wait for me to speak." ”

"Okay, you're satisfied!"

Regarding Suda's suspicions, Lu Deshuang was speechless, so he could only acquiesce, could it be that he told Suda that he was reborn? (To be continued.) )
