HK Phil "Back Wave"

　　"Sound Unceasing" brought a textbook-level demonstration to the music variety show, and picked up the "legendary domestic product" of the Hong Kong Philharmonic (Hong Kong Music).

Newly sung old songs, "Sound Lives" is not only "remembering killing" and "feeling cards", "front waves" and "back waves" compete on the same stage, but also let the audience see the endless music inheritance.

Therefore, there is no need to mourn the glorious passing of Hong Kong Music too early. People are here, and the rivers and lakes are there. There are still people who light up the glory of the past.

　　"Sound Endless" is a music gift program produced by Hunan Radio and Television and TVB on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

Therefore, this is not a simple music program, but to use music as a medium to strengthen the value and significance of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's value recognition, emotional recognition, and recognition of the trend of the times.

"Sound Lives" not only opened up the pattern, but also successfully made a main theme music program sound into the hearts of the people.

During the 24 hours from the launch of the program to the first broadcast, "Sound Lives" has received more than 260 hot searches on the entire network. The cumulative number of broadcasts of the first episode of the program is nearly 300 million times, ranking first in the popularity of major variety shows. Covers from the show also became music chart hits.

　　Although the golden age of the HK Phil was in the 1980s and 1990s, since last year, Cantonese songs have frequently entered the public eye.

"Brother Who Overcame Toughness" brought fire to "Brother in the Greater Bay Area"; the "Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Film and Music Evening" held by CCTV-6 was brilliant; the champion of "The Voice of China 2021" was Wu Keyue from Guangdong, Her excellent interpretation of Cantonese songs was the factor that helped her to win the championship.

　　From the aspects of guests, production, stage art, sound effects, etc., "Sound Endless" makes people see the shadow of the "Singer" and "Singer". Hong Xiao of The Singer.

And "The Voice" is not the "Hong Kong Philharmonic version of "The Singer". There are some differences in the production direction between the two. The biggest difference is that it weakens the competitiveness of the show.

There is no elimination system in "Sound of Life", but 16 groups of singers are divided into male and female teams to compete, and the live audience acts as the production team to vote. In the end, three songs were selected for the Hong Kong Philharmonic Era Records created by the program.

"The Sound of Life" does not create a sense of crisis like "Singer". The program is more like a big party with an interactive nature. In a harmonious atmosphere, everyone can easily perform their favorite Hong Kong Philharmonic. , without having to evolve into an iron lung and a high-pitched voice under the competition mechanism.

Gu Su, the music director of "Sound Lives", said, "Now people don't like those more aggressive music, and people prefer the kind that sounds comfortable. Now the attribute of music is more of a companionship."

　　Watching "The Sound of Life" made many viewers feel like they were back in the "Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony" that year.

There are many highlight clips in the program, the showdown between the music couple Lin Zixiang and Ye Kuanwen, the interspersed appearances of Hong Kong Philharmonic legends such as Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, and finally when everyone sang Beyond Band's "Broad Sea and Sky", Huang Jiaju's "Same Stage Across the Space" made everyone collective defense.

However, in my opinion, the most important aspect of "The Sound of Life" is that the audience can see the inheritance and development of the new generation of the HK Phil, which is the hope of the HK Phil in the future.

　　In the recent QQ music pop index list, the four songs of "The Voice" program "Famous", "First Love", "The Edge of Love and Pain", and "Distant She" are at the forefront, and they are all It can be seen that the new generation of singers can capture the audience's attention the most.

Yan Mingxi, who sings "Godfather", is the youngest singer in the show. Born in 2005, she is just 17 years old this year.

Before appearing on the stage, Yan Mingxi was greatly appreciated by the music industry seniors such as Jacky Cheung, Alan Tam, Karen Mok, and Alan Tam even praised him as "a very rare singer in Hong Kong in recent years".

In 2021, Yan Mingxi participated in TVB's music talent show "Legend of Sound Dreams" and officially entered the entertainment industry. The 9 songs she sang in the show all received millions of views on the video platform, and finally won the three-material championship.

For mainland audiences, Yan Mingxi is a completely unfamiliar newcomer, but as soon as her "Goddess" came out, the audience was convinced.

The singing method of the air voice in the first half and the wonderful conversion of the true and false voices of the chorus gave the song super penetrating power and appeal. Did you get a reverberation?" Some people commented that Yan Mingxi has the ethereal spirit of Faye Wong, the delicacy of Wang Wanzhi and the iron lung of Deng Ziqi at the same time.

The first song was a blockbuster, and many people predicted that, just as Deng Ziqi was born on the stage of "I Am a Singer", "Sound Lives" will make Yan Mingxi shine.

　　Zeng Bit is another "cute newcomer" among Hong Kong singers. It has only been a year since his debut.

The parents gave Zeng Bit this name because they hoped that he would be "more special", and he really lived up to his name, with an explosive head like a wig, and his lively behavior as if he grew up eating "cute", which made people mistakenly think that he was just an atmosphere group players.

Zeng Bit's performance of "First Love" was impressive, and the song finally won the "Most Popular Golden Melody Ranking No. 1" in the current program.

He interprets the episode full of girlish feelings in Stephen Chow's movie "The God of Cookery" and deduces a passionate love atmosphere.

Zeng Bit added funk and disco elements to the arrangement to make the song sound more rhythmic and reminiscent of "Brother Mars" Bruno Mars.

He also incorporated into the song "Here We Are Again" from the movie "King of Comedy" and "La La La Love Song" from the Japanese drama "Long Vacation", adding a new twist to the old song.

At the same time, Zeng Bit incorporated space dance steps and other movements into the performance, and the typhoon was proficient and free, without the jerkyness of the newcomer at all.

The famous music critic Erdi described Zeng Bit's performance as "fancy but not greasy".

　　As representatives of the new generation of mainland singers, Shan Yichun and Mao Buyi sang "The Edge of Love and Pain" and "Distant She" respectively in the program, and both received high praise.

Shan Yichun, who is only 21 years old, sang the lingering sorrow of "It's hard to break", and performed Faye Wong's songs in the way of Lin Yilian, without losing her own characteristics.

The predecessors of the music industry have become "complimentary groups". Li Keqin, who is on the same stage with Shan Yichun, said, "I respect such an opponent." Ye Kuanwen praised, "She is so young, she will be incredible in the future."

Mao is not easy to be known for his human touch and sincerity, but no one has seen his Cantonese song strength.

"Distant She" has previously had versions of Jacky Cheung and Eason Chan, all of which are classics.

With Zhuyu in the front, Mao Buyi still sang a unique flavor based on his own sense of language and voice.

Singers like Shan Yichun and Mao Buyi who did not grow up in the Hong Kong Philharmonic scene are also very good at their interpretation of Cantonese songs, which is really gratifying.

　　The singers sang yesterday, the audience witnessed today, and everyone looks forward to tomorrow.

As Zheng Guojiang, a Hong Kong lyricist in his 80s, said to the program: "We hope that the back waves will continue to advance to the front waves, and we also hope that the front waves will continue to move forward with the back waves, and lead the music scene to continue to have new vitality." It makes people see that the Hong Kong Philharmonic is not the afterglow of the dazzling era of music, but it is still filled with fresh blood and brimming with vitality.
