Can the sisters who shout that they must win allow themselves not to win?
◎Gu Yiman
It is impossible to verify when the word "sister" emerged as a popular term, but as a native of Tianjin, I have been called "sister" since I was a child.
Of course, the "sister" in the catchphrase may not necessarily be our Tianjin pantou aunt in image, but in terms of spiritual connotation it will definitely be like what Tranquility said in the third season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves": Be a sister with an accent. !
The third season of "Sister Lang" is in the past three years of the epidemic. When the third season of this year started broadcasting, although I couldn't go out of the house, I could watch you ride the wind and waves, and all said "three women in one show", this time 30 female stars Together, what a wonderful show!
Memories kill
But I didn't expect that the beginning of this scene was actually a wave of memory killing.
How did she come?
!
When I saw Zhang Qiang, Xu Ruyun, Gillian Asa, Myolie Wu and other sisters coming, the car carrying them was like a time machine of Doraemon, which made people return to how lush it is in seconds. What a lush youthful time.
At the same time, these female stars who have settled down over the years also seem to have mastered the technology of freezing age, they do not look old or change, their looks are still online, and their heavy makeup is still resistant to fighting.
I thought that the waves of memories would be enough to scratch the soles of my feet, but I didn't expect a big wave to follow.
The former "ice girl" Aya sang "Walking Flower March" on the first stage of the show. The familiar melody and familiar voice, but it took "Aya" 20 years to grow into "Liu Hanya". An appearance of , so that the memory itself has added some intriguing.
One wave after another, Wang Xinling, who set off a huge wave of memories, sang the original "Love You", and the barrage exploded, the circle of friends swiped, and continued to ferment. Within a few days, the post-70s and post-80s generation They all became Xinling's "boys" and "girls".
In the same way, Wang Xinling, who is nearly forty years old, has once again become a phenomenon with his old songs of nearly 20 years and a performance of less than 3 minutes.
The reason why this wave of memories is so fragrant is that it has something to do with the moment when the "pause button" is pressed, but the memories are still beautiful enough, there are blue sky and white clouds, there is grass where we can run with joy, and there is a future that we can look forward to infinitely.
In addition, the sisters of Zhuyan Youshu have kept the possibility of taking the audience back in time to the greatest extent, so that everyone can maintain some good memories because of "human beings" at this moment when "things are not" imagination.
After all, in a few years, "Xinlings" will become "grandma", and Wang Xinling can still be "sweet grandma".
tool man
Recalling that this party came and went quickly, everyone still hopes that the sisters will start to ride the wind and waves.
It was just another surprise that this first storm was actually the rules of the game.
The competition system of "Sister Lang 3" is much more complicated than the previous two seasons, not to mention a total of six performances, three stages, and allies and challenges to win the championship. Na Ying and Ning Jing first came up as senior sisters. Commanding the two teams, the rest of the team has to form a team again, and they have to choose the captain and compete for team members... This wave of operations has already made people a bit dazzling and mentally invincible.
It is true that the rules act as an important part of the dramatic situation in the program. Under the unified goal, the characters of the participants and the relationship between the participants are displayed in a centralized manner.
However, a show involving 30 people is too large to deal with such complex rules in only two hours per episode. That is to say, complex rules require a lot of time to explain, but will weaken it should play a role, and become a tie in the narrative.
Therefore, in this link, the "contradictions" caused by the rules can only be quickly resolved within a limited time, and there is no space to show the true emotions of the characters one by one.
Therefore, we will feel that the 30 sisters are in a state of convergence, that is, in order to quickly establish contact with others, they have to chat awkwardly and be forced to become social cows; that is, in order to quickly gain the approval of others, they have to work hard to show their advantages; That is, to quickly complete the task of the rules, some so-called "strategies" have to be used.
In the meantime, the 30 sisters are no longer themselves, but become tool people to solve many problems caused only by constantly increasing rules.
The same situation exists in the selection of songs.
The program team deliberately created two teams headed by Tranquility and Na Ying, with completely different personalities, one with hills and valleys in his chest, full of strategy, and the other without curvy and straightforward.
However, it was the team members who voted for the little red flower, and the captain came to lock the song, etc. A wave of complex divine operations made the calculators only have time to perform calculations, and the Buddhists only cared about more Buddhists, lacking characters with more levels of personality. There is no room to show their multi-level emotional transformation.
Of course, audiences now understand very well that variety shows require character setting and plot arrangements, but the participants are stars. They are different from ordinary people. They have already accumulated too many performative and idol-like impressions in the hearts of the audience. Therefore, audiences prefer to see their real appearance through reality shows, in order to imagine that they are closing the distance with their idols.
Desire to win
Maybe the above wind and waves are too violent. When the pressure of the competition really came, the sisters showed a somewhat normal state.
In the show, almost everyone was shrouded in a strong desire to win or lose, but the actions to achieve victory were not fully demonstrated. to support such a strong belief.
Although the program team used the method of "repression first" almost everywhere, the solution was still only the technical problem at the viewing effect level.
Just imagine, these sisters who have been struggling in their respective fields and have been tempered for a long time, will they really collapse in an instant just because a certain technical synthesis is not smooth?
And if you really encounter a bottleneck, will you be able to break through immediately because someone is shouting cheers?
When "must win" becomes an empty phrase, it's especially loud and noisy because it doesn't really take root in everyone.
So, in this extremely goal-oriented environment, can you allow yourself not to win?
Can you not force yourself to make some changes?
In the conversation between Zhang Qiang and Ning Jing, she mentioned that she is not "people are crazy". When there are too many people, she doesn't want to express herself, and she doesn't want to change herself through the show. She just wants to participate and get to know everyone.
Finally, someone is going to be "rotten" in this "introverted" environment, and "Wild Rose Benqiang" took the lead to stand out and show that he should be himself.
But obviously, Zhang Qiang, who had no idea what to do, finally won a song in her career with the most complicated lyrics and very difficult to find tune through her own efforts and the help of her teammates.
It can be seen that the self she wants to be is just the one who doesn't want to be coerced by the environment, and still has to abide by the standards of professional singers.
In fact, the encounter between "Riding the Wind and Waves" and "Sister" is particularly good. It hopes to show some important spiritual characteristics of new women. They are not limited by traditional concepts and age, and dare to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves. , the pursuit of self-worth, etc.
But at the same time, it must also come from the most sincere surging and the hottest desire in the bottom of my heart. Only in this way can it truly possess the power of "multiplying" and "breaking".
In the same way, I also believe that the reason why the 30 sisters in the show can stand here must be that they have experienced the real forging in their respective fields.
Then what is it that makes them lose their due demeanor in the show?
With the end of the first performance of "Sister Lang 3", everyone finally has to go out of the house and return to work to meet more unknowns and challenges.
In the face of the wind and waves, you and I are both wind riders and wave breakers.
