Web anchors are not the only tags, use their works to deal with the world
Feng Timo: As a singer, I will not rush to seek success
Two months ago, Feng Timo released her latest single "Minimanimo". So far, she has released more than 20 personal singles, two personal music albums, and opened a personal concert. "I am very sure that I am a singer now." In an interview with Qilu Evening News Qilu Yidian reporter recently, Feng Timo particularly emphasized his "singer" status. In her view, although it is also singing, the web anchor in the live studio and the professional singer in the recording studio seem to be two species.
Feng Timo used to be the top network female anchor who was pushed to the tip of the wave by the Internet. The colored glasses of outsiders and the idol filters of fans made her tremble between the reputation. As the tuyere blows past, the glory, hustle, controversy, and defamation of the past are all attributed to the calm. Today's Feng Timo only drifts forward in the ark carrying the desire to be a singer.

Not sound nice
Can be a singer
Early this year, Feng Timo came to Jinan to participate in the recording of the Shandong Spring Festival Gala. Even with her ten-centimeter high-heeled shoes trembling, her petite Chongqing girl's stature still appears extraordinarily exquisite among a group of Shandong Dahan and Shandong Damen, reminding me of the netizen's joke--"Heaven covers the earth tiger, "Timo one meter five". Her black eyes, which are as large as magnified by beauty filters, also make the title of "female and female gods" true. After all, cute little, fresh and sweet is the ultimate imagination of the otaku for beauty.
Interviewed by the TV host in the huge studio, Feng Timo at the time felt a little uncomfortable. "I used to be a big one standing in front of a small camera. Now I am a little one standing on a big stage. The audience are all real and live audiences." This change has been a recent one for Feng Timo. The first half of the year began to become particularly frequent. From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, Feng Timo successively participated in large-scale stage performances such as the New Year's Party at Station B, the New Year's Eve Party of Jiangsu Satellite TV, the Spring Festival Evening of Shandong, and the Lantern Festival Gala of Hunan Satellite TV. Today, Feng Timo feels that he has adapted to the changes in the lens and stage. "In front of the camera, I can relax and show my life. The performances on the stage are more rigorous and professional. I will treat it more seriously. Slowly this precipitation and accumulation make me engage in music and now. Work is more determined and more confident."
From the outside, this is Feng Timo's transformation from a web anchor to a professional singer. Feng Timo's agency team believes that there is no "transformation". "From the beginning to the end, she is positioned as a girl who can sing." Feng Timo felt that she released her first personal single in 2017. Only after "Knowing the Food is Junjie", I began to realize the difference between "Anchor" and "Singer". "Before that, my understanding of the singer was quite shallow. At that time, I thought that as long as you sing nicely, you would be a singer. Later, after having your first original singing work, I realized that the singer must have his own. Only by slowly accumulating works will the artist get closer and closer to the singer."
Five years of online anchor career, facing the netizens to sing songs for three or four hours every day, so that Feng Timo's internal strength gradually grew, "Trebles that could not be sung before can now be sung." Now Feng Timo will ask the teacher for advice Vocal skills, learn musical instruments, and communicate with friends about the creative experience of writing lyrics and composing. "If you want to be a good singer, you will definitely need time to accumulate and accumulate your own. You can’t rush to achieve success. It doesn’t matter if you don’t approve of me now. Anyway, I will always work well and improve my singing. Come and communicate with this world."
Become an "uninvited guest"
Be bullseye
Last August, Feng Timo opened the first solo concert in his life in Chongqing. "This is a small wish. I have hidden my desire to be a singer since I was a child, but I never had the courage to say it. It is now the fans who have achieved me and made my dream come true."
Although he has the ability to sing, Feng Timo was not the backbone of the class in his class when he was a student. "We were in a small place and we couldn't find a platform to show ourselves. The biggest stage at the time was the literary and artistic performance on campus, but the literary and art committees were also selected to participate at that time, and I couldn't volunteer." Until Beijing Normal University Zhuhai branch majored in broadcasting performance, and Feng Timo's singing ability was only recognized by the vocal teacher. "Every time my vocal score is the highest, it was only then that I thought I might actually sing well."
Back home after graduation, Feng Timo became a university teacher. Originally having a stable and decent job, Feng Timo, who likes to challenge and take risks, began to be a "non-mainstream" network anchor in Betta live broadcast in 2014. "At the beginning, I went to work in the daytime and worked as a part-time anchor in the evening. I can't eat enough for a long time. Because the night may have to be broadcast until two or three in the middle of the night, singing for five or six hours, and getting up at five or six in the morning. Going to work in a suburban school has become a pivot. At that time, many people have supported me online. What I really like is singing. Being able to take hobbies as a profession, I think life will be particularly happy."
With a laptop and a microphone, Feng Timo connected with thousands of netizens. At the peak, there was more than 20 million followers. She was called the "head song" of Betta and became a phenomenal web anchor. It seems to the outside world that Feng Timo burst into red overnight, but she herself felt that there were traces along the way. "People who don't know me very much feel like I have changed a lot, but I'm not the kind of anchor who suddenly became popular. People who have been watching my live broadcast will know that there were no people in my live broadcast room at the beginning. When everyone knows me, then I have live broadcast for three years." Feng Timo believes that the change in live broadcast style is the key to a lot of fans. "When everyone is sitting at home and singing, I think I can go to the street outside to find a place with better scenery and sing, so that everyone looks like watching a MV. It seems that through outdoor broadcasting, people who know me are starting to increase. "
Any powerful new born thing will be treated as an uninvited guest, and it will have a high risk of being demonized to meet hostile eyes and layers of scrutiny. Just like the draft singers of that year, the web anchor who absorbed a lot of fans, traffic and money soon became the center of the public opinion vortex. Feng Timo, who has a high popularity, has become a bullseye for everyone's criticism. At this time, Feng Timo felt the pain of being stabbed by the shadow of the double-edged sword of fame and fortune. "It's really wrong when I encounter misunderstandings, but my character is unable to explain the truth to everyone. I have also tried to debate with netizens in the barrage before, but found it to be useless. Ignore you, and continue to insist on your own views. So I thought that I should do what I should do, no one will be idle and stare at you every day, if anyone can stare at you for decades, then It should be true love."
Life is like an electrocardiogram
Ups and downs
In 2018, Feng Timo appeared on the stage of the third season of "Masked Singing and Guessing" as a "small white rabbit". Wearing the doll's headgear "only hear its sound but not its people" performance method, so many netizens shed the natural rejection of Feng Timo with the "net red" label. The show judge Hou Peicen said after Feng Timo took off the headgear, "She used her singing to prove that she is a singer." Feng Timo said that the program brought great confidence to herself. "Many people think that you are not as strong as you were from a network anchor. But I think I am very strong, and the show proves that I know nothing wrong about myself."
Feng Timo's singing, like her appearance, belongs to the sweet department, and many people even feel that her voice is somewhat similar to the "sweetheart leader" Wang Xinling. People who like Feng Timo call her voice "Miwa singing", people who don't like it will feel "sweet and crooked", and it is easy for aesthetic fatigue. For the latter's view, Feng Timo, who has always answered the style of "Buddha", is a little emotional and helpless. "Some people look at the problem because they are more targeted and more one-sided. For example, some singers' voices are very popular. They will say that your voice is not recognizable. What you sing is the same taste, which makes people remember. But the voice Very recognizable singers, and they will say that your voice is too recognizable and can't control other songs." Feng Timo feels that his sweet voice is clearly his own advantage, why should he be diss (despised) into a short board What? "Interpret the song into your own style. Everyone knows that this is your song. This is the most important thing for a singer."
In the "Super Girl" and "Good Voice" draft era, a large number of talents from the draft broke into the entertainment industry and broke the threshold of the singer. Nowadays, there are a large number of netizen artists like Feng Timo. Some people think that their "net celebrities" simply cannot cross the threshold of singers. For such an accompanying label, Feng Timo has self-esteem and insight. "What other people think of me does not affect my definition of myself. Can I not be a singer because I am the anchor? There are many people who are not singers before becoming singers! No one is a singer when he is born. Yes, right? People themselves are multi-dimensional, and they can be known as'net celebrities', proving that this is a positive label. This is already my honor."
Phenomenon-level explosions are inseparable from the blessings of time, location, and harmony. Feng Timo's popularity is also largely due to the live broadcast platform that was on the Internet at the time. However, the Internet has been constantly changing. Nowadays, new forms of Internet such as vibrato and fast live broadcasts are emerging in an endless stream. The most popular network anchors have also become Li Jiaqi and Wei Ya, and a large number of "post waves" are ready to go. In this regard, Feng Timo did not feel uneasy and anxious. "No one or career can go up. Like an electrocardiogram, ups and downs are normal. And now I am a singer, and there are other industries to develop, not to say that I left one I can’t live a career. I think that as long as I can do what I like to do, I can continually adjust myself to keep up with the rhythm. The times and society have always been developing and progressing, and it is impossible to produce new things every time. You have to worry and panic. If one day I can’t be passionate about singing, I think I’ll panic then."
