"That's the difference between a singer and a musician."
On Weibo, after listening to "Singing the Motherland", Yang Shuo, editor-in-chief of Jinling Daily, expressed this emotion:
"What a singer pays attention to in his works is whether the melody is easy to listen to, whether it is catchy, and whether the style of music is in line with the current popularity."
"A singer must have a naturally outstanding voice and sing better than others. The lifeblood of a singer is sales and rankings. He often makes no contribution to artistry and is just a fast food. Everyone thinks you can sing well.
Listen to you sing, then leave."
"Musicians, on the other hand, do not need to have a voice that is beyond ordinary people. As music artists, they value artistry and use music as a medium to express themselves. Through music, you can hear the profound connotation of the musician himself."
"Musicians' works pay more attention to the arrangement and arrangement of instrumental music. Unlike singers who need to show off their voices beyond ordinary people and emphasize their own voices in their works, and use instrumental music as a foil, the voice is only a part of the instrumental music in the musicians' works. In music
Wisdom and foresight can always be seen in the works of musicians, and their ability to express themselves through music is impressive. This is essentially different from the 'good sound' that singers pursue. Musicians' works often have wide-ranging social effects, such as "Defense"
"Yellow River", and this song "Singing the Motherland"."
"We can meet that these two songs will become the spiritual symbol of a generation!"
"When a singer breaks away from his fast-food identity and makes artistic achievements, or a musician achieves amazing commercial results, a legend is often born."
At this moment, people online and offline are crazily praising Liao Yuan's performance in the Spring Festival Gala.
And in Beijing, in a certain community.
At this moment, for the first time on the TV, Liao Yuemin and Dong Qing, who intuitively felt their son singing, were speechless.
At the same time, I felt proud and extremely sad. The two emotions overlapped and made the two elders couldn't help but shed tears quietly.
"Are the dumplings ready?"
"It's packed, just waiting for my son to come home!"
Liao Yuemin put down his chopsticks and asked, "When did he say he would be back?"
"After the show is over."
Dong Qing quietly wiped away tears and forced a smile: "I will definitely come back."
"Where's Meiqi?"
"Meiqi will come back tomorrow. Although she won't be able to perform at home, her team was invited to the Guangdong branch venue..."
The Spring Festival Gala is still in full swing, and many people are already too sleepy to open their eyes. However, in order to wait for their favorite artists to perform, many people are trying to keep their eyes open, waiting for the turn of the new year and the arrival of twelve o'clock.
When Liao Yuan's performance ended, twenty minutes later, the screen was switched to the Guangdong branch venue. People were surprised to see the Lucky Girl 101 group, all 11 members of the group were singing and dancing in the branch venue, except for the classic dance song "Nobody"
"In addition to "Looking Up at the Starry Sky", the local people also watched it with great excitement.
In the Statistics Department of the CSM ratings agency in the CCTV building, station director Hou Yujun was standing behind the statisticians with his hands behind his back, looking at the rising curves and numbers on the statistics table.
Next to him, CCTV Comprehensive Channel Director Sheng Wen was marveling: "In the past few years, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been rising and falling, with the highest being around 45%. This year, too, when it first started, it was still 38%
The ratings, but then fell back soon. Until Liao Yuan came on the stage, it was only 31%! But when Liao Yuan came on the stage, wow, the ratings just kept rising. The song "Defend the Yellow River",
The ratings were pushed to 40%, and the second song "Singing the Motherland" was even more impressive. The ratings soared to 47%, and the national audience share was a full 85%. Nearly 900 million people across the country were watching. It was really crazy.
It’s terrible, and this doesn’t include overseas users and online users!”
Sheng Wen said without hesitation: "Southern audiences have always been difficult to serve. In previous years, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in coastal areas such as Guangdong, East China Sea, and southern Fujian have always been very low, but this year it is completely different, especially
In Guangdong, almost all Guangdong people have contributed to the ratings, and judging from the data, Hong Kong and some overseas areas are also watching the Spring Festival Gala..."
The more he talked, the happier he became. He held up his mobile phone and said: "Liao Yuan has become a cultural symbol. Five-star red flags are being sent everywhere on the Internet. He alone can drive 10%! of the national ratings.
It’s really an incredible achievement.”
"Oh, right."
Sheng Wen thought of something and said with a smile: "Director Hou, do you know who Liao Yuan's parents are?"
Hou Yujun came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Who?"
"I just received the news."
Sheng Wen said: "Liao Yuan's father is a famous domestic musician and songwriter Liao Yuemin..."
Hou Yujun was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, his eyes lit up: "Liao Yuan is Dong Qing's son?"
"Yes, he is Dong Qing's son!"
Sheng Wen laughed loudly: "This Dong Qing can be regarded as the old host of our CCTV. He has cultivated such an outstanding son without making any noise, and he is completely silent. He is really calm!"
Hou Yujun nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad."
He remembered Minister Guo's previous instructions and became even more satisfied with Liao Yuan.
If Liao Yuan can win the favor of the chief, his future achievements may be more than just a simple musician.
While thinking, he said: "Sheng Wen, isn't your channel planning to launch a set of charity variety shows recently?"
"You mean "Looking for Home"?"
Sheng Wen was startled.
The variety show "Searching for Home" is a large-scale public welfare tracing operation that CCTV Comprehensive Channel is preparing to launch in the near future. It is the first large-scale public welfare tracing program in the country that uses state power and all media. It is also a brand new program that CCTV is preparing to launch in 2022.
The public welfare column is based on the theme of conveying the most precious family affection, kindness, love and friendship in the world.
It can be predicted what position this program will occupy in the history of variety shows.
"Looking for Home" is insurmountable because it has a national-level information platform and broadcast platform.
Because only CCTV can effectively integrate and gather such social resources, and have the strength to initiate and mobilize the whole city and even the country to search.
Sheng Wen said thoughtfully: "You are so prepared, why?"
Hou Yujun asked: "Have you found the host?"
Sheng Wen said: "I found it. It's the old host of our station, Zhang Ping."
Hou Yujun said: "Zhang Ping has bad legs and feet. She is older, so don't bother her. I think Dong Qing is quite suitable."
Hearing this, Sheng Wen smiled and said: "Dong Qing is indeed within the scope of our consideration, but since she retreated behind the scenes, we have not thought about disturbing her anymore. She now has both fame and fortune."
"People can't be idle all the time. Dong Qing is only in his early fifties. It's inappropriate to retreat behind the scenes so early."
Hou Yujun smiled slightly: "CCTV still needs Mr. Dong to continue to shine in front of the screen!"
Hearing this, Sheng Wen nodded and said: "Since Director, you personally spoke, then after the Spring Festival, I will personally go to Teacher Dong's house."
The Spring Festival Gala time is gradually passing.
Soon, twelve o'clock came.
The four hosts began to appear on the stage together to announce the hour.
When the last second of 2021 passed and the zero o'clock bell rang, 2022 finally arrived.
At this moment, the TV cameras turned to all parts of the country, and there were scenes of brilliant fireworks everywhere.
And under such a grand canopy of fireworks.
Liao Yuan, pushing his suitcase, stood in front of his community for the first time in many years——
