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.
