The Band also need a music critic?



Does the Summer of the Band also need a music critic?

Tiger sniffing: After the broadcast of "The Summer of the Band", "professional music critics" seems to be the target of public criticism. Not only the audience is not waiting to see, but the musicians also have some friction with the music critics. The weight is too high. So, what is the meaning of the music critic in this program and even in the whole music scene? Are they really "narrow" like the show?

In the latest issue of "The Summer of the Band", the tour group won 413 votes (full ticket 460) with a "BYE BYE", ranking first, achieving a reversal of the Jedi. A week ago, they worked with Zhou Jieqiong's work "Weekend Toys" to get the lowest score in the audience. Also unrecognized is the "Oops" that Mr. Turtle and Xue Kaiqi cooperated.

In the "Summer's Summer" scoring system, the total score is composed of three different judges, including "super fans" led by Ma Dong and Zhang Yadong, "popular fans" of vegan people, and the music industry. Practitioners: "Professional fans."

Although the votes of the tour group and the turtles are lower in the three groups of judges, the arguments are out of these professional fans. Their views are contrary to the public perception, and it is considered that the tour group’s “out of circle” attempt is meaningless. I believe that Mr. Turtle has sacrificed too many of his own characteristics... Many netizens ran to the microblogs of these professional fans, and they screamed that they "do not understand and understand."

“I recognize that the teachers upstairs (professional fans) have not performed well on the tour group, but I don’t agree with their views and standards on these things. I think it’s very narrow and must be broadcast, very narrow. "In the latest issue, the tour group keyboardist Wei Wei said.

Peng Lei, the lead singer of the new trousers band, thinks these professional fans are too selfish: "They used rock music as their own weapon, but one-day rock music became mainstream. He lost the right to speak, and he became vulgar. When he was a generation, he felt particularly uncomfortable. This is terrible."

A similar situation occurred in the previous issues. The fourth phase of the adaptation war, the painful band adapted Wang Fei's "I am willing", was praised by professional fans "a bit lose" "not suitable for the game", but also brought great controversy.

In the traditional variety show, the slightly criticized voices have been mostly cut off, but the new content production company like Mi Wei who has done this "Qi Yu Shuo" knows how to make the program more topical. Music critics have a right to speak in the professional field, but they have no influence in front of the public, and they themselves are pushed to a place where they can't go up, like their comments on Mr. Turtles. gunfire.

In the era of physical records, music evaluation is an important reference for purchasing a record. It is a guide for consumption in the music field. However, due to past channel restrictions, the readers touched on the scale of the music group is very limited, and music is not like the amount of information on film and television works. Sufficient and easy to understand, they are not familiar with the role of music critics for the wider public.

However, Internet technology has changed the form of communication and the crowds have sunk. The appearance of "The Summer of the Band" has pushed music critics into a wider field of vision. For some "network aborigines", these "le" The critics have become people who are complacent, show off their own knowledge, and are annoying.

Is it really?

In the current Internet context, how should we understand the role of music critics? Through the various forms of online and offline, the Hedgehog Commune chatted with three professional fans who participated in the "Summer of the Band" program to find out.

Easy to FM Li Yuan: Our role is to criticize more than praise

This is the first time I have done a live performance judge. The judges who made the music competition are all listening to good songs. But in this program, what you feel is the direct impact on the spot.

I am a person who loves to watch shows, and I must rush to the front when I see the scene. This time, "The Summer of the Band", I was actually very painful. I felt like sitting on a needle felt. I tried to rush to play with the audience several times. But because of the sense of responsibility as a professional music fan, I will ask myself with different standards. I know that I am sitting there, and I can't just rely on my own emotions to guide my judgment.

So every time I record, I can not only stand up, but also keep a notebook in my hand, watch the performance while recording, think about how to evaluate the performance of the band, and answer the questions raised by the program group after the recording is over. Our professional fans may play a role in watching, criticizing and praising more than praise, forming a discussion atmosphere for the entire program.

I think it is necessary for the public or the fans to distinguish between the three roles. One is the guest of the variety show, the second is the music critic, and the third is the communicator. Although there are occasions where the three identities overlap, the nature of the work between the three is different from their resume, qualification requirements, and products produced.

Music evaluation is the motive of the creator and makes a rational judgment on the value of the music itself, which serves as a link between the creator and the market. On the one hand, interpreting and interpreting works are similar to public commentary; on the other hand, it is actually a summary and guidance for the creator's artistic direction and artistic creation. In fact, many artists don't know what genre they belong to when they create it. It is a summary made by art critics. In turn, they guide their creative direction and let these people know what I am doing now, future breakthroughs or rebellious. Where is the starting point?

I belong to a communicator in the traditional sense and represent the role of traditional media people. But now there are also roles like music bloggers and songs. Our band has a song that is confusing and added by a songwriter. In the song list, the number of comments suddenly reached 999+. There is no such opportunity in the traditional era.

My job requires access to a large number of foreign latest, best, most innovative independent music, pick out the music that is recommended, put it on my show, there are about a hundred. Therefore, in terms of professional ethics and aesthetic definition, I know what it is like to do well. I naturally have requirements, and the starting point of my evaluation is likely to be different from other music bloggers and songwriters. I just hope that I can pass this.

A good music review, perhaps the most important thing is to appeal to emotions as little as possible, not to talk about your feelings. Listening to feelings can talk about emotions, but the feeling of listening is not the same as the music evaluation. Since it is to be evaluated, there must be an evaluation system. If you want to give the two bands a score together, you need to establish an evaluation system that both can share. It cannot be completely subjective, otherwise, there will be no basis for communication.

What kind of ability does that person have to be able to determine this coordinate system?
The most important thing is that there is a lot of accumulation behind, at least you have to understand music, understand the music, for each style, especially the main style of pop music, the development of history, the ins and outs of culture, the technology of musical instruments, the sound, etc. Have enough understanding to talk to the musician in the same context.

It's not that you have to be a master, but that these things are basic musical language, at least to understand. Otherwise, the two people are not in the same discourse system at all, and it does not constitute any effective communication and comment. I really hope to cultivate a healthy discussion atmosphere in my Weibo.

I think that the reason why the public has doubts about professional fans is that there is a reason for being an anti-intellectual and challenging authority. I can understand very well that in the summer of 2006, my band then participated in a competition and stopped the rematch. After returning, we are particularly dissatisfied, just on the blog, on the organizer's website, call friends and friends to fill the water: your xxx song is so bad, what qualifications give us a score for young new music! Later, I watched the video of our game at that time and found that we were able to stay in the semi-finals. It was already a face.

I didn't expect that one day I became the one I had attacked.
