Raise a question: which sound ensemble is of the highest quality for internal entertainment?
Presumably most people will mention "I am a singer".
The series was born in 2023 and became a popular style when it began to broadcast, when a large number of viewers were surprised by the high quality of the ensemble.
It was also from the beginning of this series that Mango completely established the status of the Big Brother of Internal Entertainment Sound, and even in the more than three years after the suspension of "the year of the Singer", the Internal Entertainment Music Ensemble blossomed, but it never stood out.
Of course, when it comes to "A year of Singers", we have to mention all kinds of doubts encountered in that last season, such as the lineup being complained of more and more hip-pulling, such as Hua Chenyu being questioned that he is not worthy of the king of singing, and the calls to stop broadcasting at that time.
The reason why "I am a singer" series broadcast at the same time, the voice of netizens should only account for a small part. After all, the investment of this series at that time was still at the top, and mango was naturally reluctant to give up.
The biggest problem is the lineup.
One of the main reasons for the beauty of the "I am a Singer" series is competitive. Famous singers have to be eliminated in high-energy competition, which brings too much excitement to the audience.
But that's why it's so hard to keep coming up with a high-quality starting line-up. After all, not all singers are willing to compete, and not all singers are suitable for the competition, and it's to be expected that it's off the air.
In the year when the mango official program went off the air, Hong Tao, the meritorious director of the series, personally took the stage and said easily, "I really don't want to do it." but it is also conceivable that he was lonely at that time.
As for why Singer 2024 should be restarted, there are only two reasons.
For one thing, in the annual mango invitation conference, the major financiers will ask when the "I am a singer" series will restart, so mango may not resist this temptation after all, because the word "restart" means smooth and high naming fees.
Second, the public praise of the closing season is not good,"I am a singer" can be said to be high and low, so Mango may also want to give this program recognized as the best music synthesis of internal entertainment, re-draw a successful end, after the restart can continue to be determined.
In terms of mango's ability to create sound ensembles, "Singer 2024" is easy to restart, but it is too difficult to become a national fashion style with both popularity and word of mouth, especially since the lineup is a mountain.
The current domestic sound ensemble, the common fault of the lineup is serious homogenization. If you are rich and lucky, you can hire one or two seniors who do not often appear on the show, but there is basically no difference between the Mesozoic generation and the new generation in the lineup.
Complaining is complaining, but if you think about it, the plight of the platforms can be understood.
First, those elders who have a high voice of the audience, that is, those who are basically or not on the sound ensemble, either cannot be invited at all, all the platforms are hopeless, or it is the audience's wishful thinking, because some people do have a serious voice, but the industry is clean.
Second, some of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic generations have become regular customers of the Music Ensemble, partly because they have sufficient strength, partly because they have sufficient appeal, and third, because the financiers are willing to pay the bill. Therefore, the platform will naturally invite.
As for "Singer 2024", it will still face the above difficulties, so the talent will be beaten by the show group, because among the big singers who are likely to be persuaded by the program group, Na Ying, who has qualifications, strength, masterpiece and topic, is really suitable, and has worked closely with Mango in recent years.
As for "The Voice of China" and the public opinion influence of Dao Lang on Na Ying, Mango must have also considered it, but since many people familiar with the matter are discussing her, it shows that Mango has indeed weighed the pros and cons, depending on Na Ying's attitude.
In addition to Na Ying, Zhou Huajian and Tao Zhe are also the ideal pillars of the lineup in the program group.
When Zhou Huajian joined The Voice of China as a mentor last year, he was considered by many viewers to be an unwise choice. He obviously couldn't play the game of robbing people, and the suspension of the show was a good thing for him. Mango was smart when he saw the opportunity to invite him.
As for Tao Zhe, he was once named the new four heavenly kings with Jay Chou, Lin Junjie and Wang Leehom, but his career hit rock bottom because of marital infidelity, which did not improve until the past two years.
The online program group is still communicating with Tao Zhe step by step, but he just announced a concert tour not long ago, and it is unknown whether the two sides can go in both directions.
If the show group can decide on Na Ying, Zhou Huajian and Tao Zhe at the same time, the lineup of "Singer 2024" is half stable, at least it will not be an "invalid restart".
But can such a lineup guarantee that "Singer 2024" will return to its peak and even surpass the first four seasons directed by Hong Tao? The author thinks it is not enough.
Of course, judging from the current revelations, Mango is indeed sincere in the building of the senior lineup, and it is even said on the Internet that they have contacted Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Ye Qianwen, Dou Wei, Zhang Huimei, Lin Junjie and others, but unfortunately they have all been politely turned down. what the final result will be known only when it is recorded in March.
Compared with the previous lineup, there may be more suspense, the new generation of singers actually do not have a wide range of choices, nothing more than who will start and who will play in the stadium.
In recent years, the Chinese music scene, the strength of the new generation of Mao Jian is nothing more than Shan Yichun, Huang Xiaoyun, Xi Lin Na Yi Gao, just returned Zhang Yuqi, Chen Zhuoxuan, Bo Yuan, You Changjing, Xu Ziwei these few, but except Zhang Yuqi are variety show regulars, freshness greatly reduced.
If nothing happens, "Singer 2024" will certainly have a place for one or more of the above people, but if the program group wants something new, it may contact the newcomers of RTHK and copy Deng Ziqi's myth at that time, but it is still the same saying: it is too difficult to find.
It is worth mentioning that the three seasons of "non-stop" has used dozens of singers from both sides of the strait, which is also a difficult problem for the invitation of the "Singers 2024" lineup, and this year may not be the best time to restart.
Finally, in addition to the main lineup, Singer 2024 also faces two other difficulties.
One is the music team. The high quality of "I am a Singer" cannot be achieved without the help of music director Tony Leung, whose reputation has declined significantly in the past few seasons after he left.
In the sound ensemble of mango in recent years, Zhao Zhao, Liu Zhuo, Arai 11, Gu Su and so on have been used, but they are not as popular as Liang Qiaopai. What kind of music director can be hired for "Singer 2024" determines the arrangement quality of the whole season.
The other is the problem of qu library. The main factor affecting word-of-mouth in the ongoing broadcast of "Life at Home" is that the library of songs is not rich, and there are a number of songs sung by Sister Lang and Pigo. Mango is obviously saving costs.
Some netizens think that Hong Xiao's team spent money on "Singer 2024", which is unreasonable. The production costs from different programs should not be universal. The most reasonable explanation can only be that mango is too stingy.
To sum up, the popularity of "Singer 2024" will not be bad at that time. After all, the influence of this gold-lettered signboard is still there, and there is no doubt about the strength of mango in making sound ensembles.
But if the final lineup is only the current online set, or it is difficult to jump out of the lineup homogenization circle as far as possible, it is of course easy to restart, but it is still difficult to draw a successful full stop for this series.
