Volume 1: The Road to Fame
Chapter 24: Entertainment Pill
User ID "Director of Anti-Licking Bureau" posted a video on Weibo, similar to a secretly recorded clip, titled "Entertainment Pill: How Low Is the Threshold to Become a Singer?"
［Regarding the latest episode of "I'm Really a Singer," as one of the selected youths and a viewer, let me say this: Fei Fei's singing skills are not bad, Dictionary Bro's level is exceptional, and Yingying's voice is also my favorite. But—Is someone here trying to be funny? His skills are subpar, I wouldn't even call him a karaoke master. Even my teenage nephew sings better than him. Anyway, I don't want to say much more, feel it for yourselves. #EntertainmentThreshold #Someone'sSingingSkills#］
Defining singing with emotion, having a story to tell, being able to draw the audience in, having a quality voice, and so on, but all require completeness, otherwise, you can't feel it at all.
Without a doubt, the Director of Anti-Licking Bureau is a secondary account created by Mango TV, and the video is specially "edited" as a secretly recorded clip, selecting segments of Chu Zhi's off-key and off-tune singing. Not a single complete lyric was included, just a mishmash of fragments, presenting a "delightful" effect.
Coupled with the earlier efforts of the water army, within a short afternoon, #EntertainmentThreshold# and #Someone'sSingingSkills# quickly climbed the hot search rankings, attracting the attention of netizens. It's an old tradition. More than half of the news you see on Weibo is what others want you to see.
Silly netizens laughed: [My Pang Gu Dong Huang Tai Yi and Yamucha, knowing that Steel Wire Ball's singing skills are lacking, but I never expected it to be this bad.]
Silent Mo Mo said: [Chu Trash's three-year-old fans tell you, this is his true level. His performance of "Wind Blows Through the Wheat Waves" earlier was an exceptional display.]
Qin Han Tang Song: [@Director of Anti-Licking Bureau_GoingLive, who's the surprise guest? My friend and I made a bet. If it's Yao Wen, she'll be my girlfriend. Is it her?]
The Director of Anti-Licking Bureau replied to Qin Han Tang Song: "Oh, the show hasn't aired yet, it's not convenient to say..."
Jin Zhi Gong said: [What are you afraid of? Don't you know that Mango TV has a million post-production? What we see and what we hear are two different things.]
Drunk Dream Scholar said: [At this level, it probably takes a million sound engineers. Speaking of which, today I went to the Fish Restaurant and asked the owner what the signature dish was. The boss said the sour and spicy fish and the spicy fish were alright, but the caustic fish wasn't. I asked why, and the boss said the caustic fish was finished!]
All sorts of bizarre comments and replies, as well as puns, expressed criticism of the belting, off-key, and off-tune situations.
["Foreigners are silent after watching it, while Chinese people cry. So this is a singer?"] ["Am I Really a Singer? Or am I Really a Star?"] ["I finally understand why songs are getting worse and worse..."]
Marketing accounts and self-media also joined in, adding fuel to the fire.
To make a small distinction in the melon field, the speed of melon-eating at T0 is Weibo, then T1 is Douban and Zhihu, followed closely by the T2 tier of Moments, QQ Space, and Bilibili. It's relatively slow to see melon-eating on Bilibili, but regarding this matter, several UPs have uploaded videos, so find a UP with more substantive content.
The UP main "Even If I'm a Science Major, I Want to Be Dragon Ao Tian" titled his video "We Rationally Analyze Former Top Singer Chu Zhi's Singing Skills."
In the video, he first explained the basic concept of mixed voice—
［Strong mix and weak mix, balanced mix, are all based on the position of the voice. Chest voice stronger than head voice is what we see as a strong mix, which, when practiced well, can be used to hit high notes and has penetrating power. Dictionary Bro's strong mix is really strong. Let me add a word, chest voice is certainly not chest cavity voice, that's not scientific. Chest voice is the resonance of sound waves in the oral cavity and throat, sounding like it's resonating in the chest.
Weak mix is when head voice exceeds chest voice, sounding not just quiet, but with substance. It's often used to sing sentimental songs. The resonance position of head voice is in the nasal cavity, sounding like the voice is resonating in the middle of the forehead and the top of the head.
Balanced mix, as the name suggests, is a balance between chest voice and head voice. It's also the most commonly used technique, adding depth to the lyrics. Why do many singers sound like they have substance as soon as they start singing, while some singers sound very thin when they start singing, clearly not finding the right resonance position, and their voice lacks resonance.］
"I'm Even a Science Major, But I Want to Be Dragon Ao Tian," this UP main is a music student, not every liberal arts student's science is lacking, but definitely most of them are, and he is one of them. From his name, you can see how miserably he's been abused.
［I personally study pop music, and one common sense is that judging a singer's level cannot be based on their performance of a particular song. Let's find several of Chu Zhi's previous performance videos.
Two years ago, on a variety show, it was clear that he hadn't found the right vocal position. His vocal range is quite broad, but there were no standout performances in the high and mid-low ranges. Last year's concert, I would call it a stage of reverse evolution. Not only were the above problems not solved, but two more problems were added. The handling of the tail notes was not clean enough, and there was a subconscious desire to squeeze out the low notes, but without the correct vocal technique, it was as contrived as the clip-on sound you hear online. And perhaps due to exhaustion from the schedule, his body's vocal function has been weakening, and there's always a feeling of breathlessness, lacking practice, several times singing off-key.
With reason and evidence, each segment is finding videos, and the barrage of netizens' comments expresses criticism like "Just talk, don't play the original sound", "It's so awkward, I had to dig out the Dujiangyan irrigation system with my toes", "After listening, I immediately sat up in bed and said, 'I want to be a singer too!'" and so on.
Previously, whenever Chu Zhi's videos appeared on Bilibili, it was mostly "Big brother is so handsome", "This voice is so nice!", "Cool!", with a huge gap between those with popularity and those without.
［In "Wind Blows Through the Wheat Waves," you can clearly hear Chu Zhi attempting to use head mix, albeit a bit awkwardly, but you can also hear that he's using technique, his breath is fuller, the contrived tail notes are removed, there's progress, but this progress is not enough to make him a professional singer. The videos posted online, with fragmented segments, cannot be listened to in full, and they couldn't be used for analysis to begin with. But combined with the previous performances, it's clear at a glance that they're all old problems—unstable breath, inability to find the right vocal position, resulting in a dry and unpleasant voice, shouting with the throat, not enough breath support from the chest, and off-tune singing is also normal. Personally, I think Chu Zhi has never been a singer. Not to mention singing with emotional involvement, which is too difficult, just the technique alone is completely failing. We also cannot generalize, the humming in "Wind Blows Through the Wheat Waves" is absolutely divine! Don't ask me how Chu Zhi did it, it's about vocal talent. Those who say it's post-production tuning are a bit off the mark. Post-production tuning to achieve this level of humming, anyone can be an opera singer.］
The video became popular on the homepage, and the UP owners in the parody section were eager to try, all preparing to use clips to make parody videos.
Post-2000s and post-90s are both people with attitudes, expressing their disgust with a celebrity on Bilibili using parody, expressing their love for a character or celebrity... also using parody.
It's obvious that Chu Zhi belongs to the former.
No one noticed the problem with the "Director of Anti-Licking Bureau" account, because it's simply not important, and even in the subsequent reports, the whistleblower was downplayed, sparking discussions about the bottom line of the entertainment industry.
Chu Zhi's shortcomings have become synonymous, the world has long been troubled by small fresh meat without strength, whether it's in the music industry or the film and television industry.
It's just that a target has come out, and the better thing is that this target has no hardcore fans to defend him, so people can criticize him openly.
Fortunately, the main character Chu Zhi's Weibo has disabled the comment function, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough people to criticize, let alone Chu Zhi has no family left.
