What program makes Park Tree "True Fragrant"?
"What kind of program can invite Park Shu, and also allows him to say so much?" Recently, the opening of "Tomorrow's Son Orchestra Season" has attracted attention. Unlike the previous selection of male and female singers, this program that has entered the "Four Generations" aimed at the orchestra-forty young musicians gathered together to fight for the final formation of a five-person orchestra.
In the first two episodes, the rules for the initial evaluation of "Tomorrow's Son Orchestra Season" revolve around "F-man", that is, the teacher group divides the interval of 0-6 points according to the performance of the students: the students who get 5-6 points become "F-man" , Enjoy the initiative to form a team to invite others, and the last two groups are born 18 two-person orchestra.

In the show, Wang Jiangyuan, who wanted to form a monster orchestra, proclaimed himself to "raise his hand" and boldly played finger guitar with a violin bow, which was affirmed by the teacher group 6 points; electric guitarist Liu Yang tried to use a screwdriver to play music; drummer Ju Yi Ming adapted the classic "Creation 101" with a drum kit... Forty young musicians all showed great strength.
Because the musicians are grouped together, the collision of different music styles is also the highlight of the first episode. For example, Yan Yongqiang used Suona to play Alan Walker's electronic music "The Spectre". The first Haramaji in the history of the Central University for Nationalities established the traditional Humai technology, classical, popular, ethnic, rock, rap, Electronic music and even experimental music are shown.

The interaction of several teachers such as Lang Lang, Deng Ziqi, Liang Long, Zhou Zhennan, and Pu Shu also had a look, especially Pu Shu, who frequently smiled like an "old father". Speaking of the reasons for participating in the program, he said, "I really want to communicate with people this year, especially young people." To the students he likes, he will sigh "You are the kind that makes me feel very very mature. I used to I imagined that there would be such a child, I think you are the F-man", "I also hope that I am so sexy", "I suggest you go to Cuba"... even he who was originally only a visiting professor was "really fragrant" "To renew a new round of recording.

Last summer, "Summer of the Band" ignited a band of fire. Prior to this, the band variety "Super Band" and "Chinese Band" all responded flatly, but a few months after the "Summer of the Band" started, the Douban score of the show did not drop to 8.8 points, not only became the most popular variety show of the year First, the survival situation of many bands has also changed.
A few months before the start of "Summer of the Band", the Korean variety "Super Band" pre-heated the attention of the band with its high reputation. Various high-level performances let the audience call "Fairy Fight" , Douban scored 9.6 points.

Since the explosion of "Hip Hop in China" in 2017, music variety has gradually expanded from focusing on "good sound" to more subdivided markets, such as rap, electronic music, Bel Canto, etc., and now it is the band's turn.
Old band playing? Or a new band?
Some people like the performances brought by the participating bands, some appreciate the sympathy between the band members, and observe the current variety of bands, which can be divided into two major categories: one is "band competition", invite mature bands Participate in competitions; the other is "musicists form a group". Excellent musicians selected from the program seek cooperation with each other to form a new orchestra.
The format of the former "Summer of the Band" is not novel, but it is rare to show the high-quality music scene and the personality of the musician in front of everyone. For example, the old cannon spirit face band, the idealistic hedgehog band, the Wangfu band insisting on the happy spirit, and the nine silent real people, Click#15, the original silent but amazing dark horse, each band has Unique temperament.

When "Summer of the Band" came to a close last year, another band's variety show "Let's Band Together" was also launched in August. Its competition mode is more focused on showing the birth of the band. Wang Feng, Li Ronghao, Guo Caijie and Bai Jugang led the team. The musicians experienced many combinations and splits, and finally formed a new band together.

"Our Band", which was aired in March this year, is also the format of the group band. The joining of the three partners, Nicholas Tse, Xiao Jingteng and Wang Junkai, makes it no lack of topicality. However, it is not the same as "Band Together". In the early stage of "Our Band", 15 people were selected as the core member of the band "ACE" candidate, and then 10 core seats were competed, and then the team PK and reorganized.
In these programs, the new generation of musicians mostly have excellent professional backgrounds, such as students who graduated from prestigious schools such as the Central Conservatory of Music and Berkeley Conservatory of Music, or famous singers such as Wang Yitai and Parker. Among the musicians of "Tomorrow's Son Orchestra Season", except for a few musicians who have participated in variety shows, most of them are young people with an average age of 18 and 19 years old who are still in school.
Why is it difficult for band variety to make a circle?
Although there have been several attempts to perform in various bands, it is still not easy for the show to make a circle.
As of now, "Summer of the Band" has a score of 8.8, "Let's Band" has a score of 4.2, and "Our Band" has a score of 6.7, but in the comment area, you can clearly see that the word of mouth has a polarizing trend.
Last year, South Korea's "Super Band" contributed many classic performances. Looking back at the current domestic band variety, although there have also been some "R&B All Night" and other performances, the musicians' level is not bad, but There are still not many "stunning" stages, and the topic of the mentor is more prominent than the players.

In addition to high-quality live and post-production-guaranteed performances, another reality show is "people". Just like the story of characters in the talent show, the band finally presents not only the charm of music, but also the emotions of people conveyed in the music.
Especially for the band, how do musicians with different skills and different personalities come together with similar interests, how to continuously grow through rehearsal, collision and running-in, cultivate feelings and reach tacit understanding, this is also the attractive charm of the band Where.
Last year's "Band's Summer" success, it is very important to establish a personalized player image in the show. This tendency has also been seen in the "Tomorrow's Son Orchestra Season" which is currently on air.

For example, the introduction of each musician has two labels of musical instruments and personalities, and there are indeed many musicians with very distinctive personalities in the first two issues: such as smiling drummer Ju Yiming, science guitarist Su Wenhao, Yang Runze, who was rated "milk drag" by the teacher, and Shen Zhengbo, who played the piano to make Deng Ziqi cry, and so on, the dramatic plots of the two groups were also repeatedly discussed by netizens.
How do music variety shows break the stereotype? Who can stand out in this year's orchestra show? It is worth continuing to wait and see. (Finish)
