Yesterday was probably the most exciting and glorious moment in the Chinese music scene in recent years. In the afternoon, hip-hop king and Wilber Pan announced that they may retire from the music scene next year. In the evening, the four most popular singers in the Chinese music scene formed a team to release new songs collectively. The kings who were chased by those born in the 80s and 90s are about to retreat, but the queens are still continuing to sprint. So, is it easy for the Chinese music scene to be mixed now?

Wilber Pan may quit the Chinese music scene, is it a hype?

Yesterday, Wilber Pan revealed at the concert press conference that he hopes to retreat behind the scenes or quit his identity as a singer to become a manager: "I don't rule out that next year will be the last year!" "Life should not be just about the entertainment industry. I don't mind going behind the scenes. The music doesn’t have to be in front of the curtain.” What’s going on? Does that mean that the 2019 Taipei Arena concert may be his last one?

was instantly shocked! Wilber Pan is my youth. Since Wilber Pan's official debut in 2001, zuo has followed him. It can be said that he is the first star that zuo likes and follows, the first one! It’s been 18 years in the blink of an eye, what a youthful time. A quick calculation shows that Wilber Pan will be 39 years old next year, and his wish to get married at the age of 36 has not been realized! Oh my god, in my memory, he has always been the hip-hop boy who sang " Gecko Walking " and " Happy Worship " and loved to be cool. In the blink of an eye, he has gradually entered his forties.

As for why he considered retiring behind the scenes, Wilber Pan also responded that it was because his body had experienced pneumonia, autonomic nervous system disorders, etc. in the past few years, and he felt that his body needed to rest. Also, Wilber Pan's physical condition has been in red in recent years: In 2014, while rehearsing a high-altitude stunt for a Taipei Arena concert, Wilber Pan accidentally hit his head and suffered massive bleeding and was sent to the hospital, scaring fans. Fortunately, after treatment and recuperation, he returned to the Arena to perform in January of the following year. In October last year, Wilber Pan was admitted to the intensive care unit due to pneumonia. News that he was critically ill was once reported, which was worrying.

is suffering from health problems, so announcing his retirement from the music industry seems to be a helpless move. Although a group of netizens and fans expressed their reluctance to give up, they still chose to respect Wilber Pan's choice and hoped that he would announce his marriage next year hahaha.

But some netizens expressed disbelief, saying, "Because there is a concert coming up," it needs to be a publicity stunt and a hype. Some netizens took stock of the singers in the entertainment industry who said they would quit the music scene. It is reported that Eason Chan revealed that he would leave the music industry in two years when his contract with Universal Music Group expired in 2016. But now he is still singing in various concerts~

This star once said that he wanted to quit the music industry, but then turned around and came back with a slap in the face.

When it comes to quitting the music industry, the one who is best at it is Mo Qixian. If he disagrees with him, he will quit the music industry. Now it is very embarrassing to use this joke in the variety show " The Masked Singer Guess ".

In 2006, Faye Wong chose to quit the music scene due to family reasons, but just when everyone was still immersed in the emotion of regret, a year later, Faye Wong announced her comeback and started singing again, and has been active until now. In the music world, there are new works every year. In August 2018, he served as a resident guest in "City of the Phantom Moon".

In addition, Yang Yuying, known as the "Queen of Sweet Songs", retired from the music scene in 2000 when her career was at its peak, but she came back to sing in 2011.

So, Wilber Pan suddenly announced this time that he may quit the music industry to work behind the scenes next year. Do you think it is reliable?

The four most popular queens in the Chinese music industry are fighting each other, and the most tiring one is Wu Qingfeng.

Here, the Chinese hip-hop king Wilber Pan is shocked to quit the music industry. On the other side, the four most popular music queens in the Chinese music industry are out to release new songs, and the singers are fighting each other. Yesterday, the first single of Jolin Tsai 's new album "Ugly Beauty" was released. After midnight, Lin Yilian new album "0", Tanya Tanya new album "I want to give the world the longest wet kiss", Ai Yiliang new album "Vertical Living, Horizontal Nostalgia" were also released simultaneously.Fans really shouldn't be too happy, who are you going to pick?

However, online reviews for the four singers' new albums or singles have mixed reviews. Some netizens said that after listening to Lin Yilian's new album, it felt like listening to an album by the female version of Chang Shilei . The entire album is filled with the soul of producer Chang Shilei. Many netizens complained, hey, this is the helplessness of non-singer-songwriters.

However, this album still has surprises. For example, the entire digital album is free to listen to, which is rare in this era when any song requires royalties due to copyright. Another surprise is that the new song "Shawen" is full of powerful rock style, which makes people sit up and take notice. This song even invited Mayday's Ashin , Wu Qingfeng and other powerful songwriters to write it. As expected, it has a Mayday style~

Tanya Chua, who originally regarded herself as a talented creative woman, was also a little embarrassed. The new album is mired in plagiarism controversy. Fans pointed out that the song "Halfway" written by Tanya Tanya was very similar to some of the lyrics of "Safe and Sound", a song written by Taylor Swift for the movie "The Hunger Games" in 2011, and was suspected of plagiarism.

In addition, "Invisible City" was accused of plagiarizing Maroon5's "Girls like you", "A la folie" was accused of plagiarizing the Pacific Rim soundtrack "Pacific Rim", and "Suicide Note" was accused of plagiarizing "Beautiful Birds". . . .

In 2016, Ai Yiliang, who won the 28th Taiwan Golden Melody Award for her album " Talk about Ai Yiliang ", this time brought a new album "Living Vertically, Loving Horizontally", which still sings adult love songs, which is quite satisfactory. The venomous music critic's comments have a strong QQ space girl-death style.

As for "Great Artist" Jolin Tsai's new work "Strangely Beautiful", it is another breakthrough after "I Paly". She is simply a person who is at the forefront of fashion trends. Most of the comments are: "Beautiful" is so nice, so explosive, and so short.

The most interesting thing is that the four major singers released new songs, and the most tiring one is actually Wu Qingfeng. He has almost taken over the entire diva circle, including Lin Yilian's "Shawen", Jolin Tsai's "Strange Beauty" and Tanya Chua's "I Want to Give the World the Longest Wet Time". He appears in "Kiss". Netizens even boldly predicted that the biggest winner of next year's Golden Melody Awards should be Wu Qingfeng.

Is the Chinese music scene in decline?

With the development of the times, the old and the new have changed. From the initial cassette era to the later CD era, and now to the current digital music era, it is really a trend of "the wave behind pushes the wave ahead". Starting from the two godfather-level musicians Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng , and then to Jay Chou , Tao Zhe , JJ Lin , Wang Leehom , Wilber Pan, Hu Yanbin , Stefanie Sun , Tsai Tsai, Jolin Tsai... . Li Ronghao , Hua Chenyu, Zhang Yixing, Joker Xue ... A hundred flowers are really blooming.

But what I have to admit is that although there are more newcomers, the quality of the songs is not as good as the previous one. Some music critics say that the Chinese music scene is already in decline and is going through a period of great depression. More and more record companies are being eliminated by the market. Major record companies that once had a glorious history are now in decline. The development of digital music and the rapid development of "fast food" entertainment that "entertains you to death" are undoubtedly a blow to real musicians. They used to make money by selling records, but now they have to rely on frequent commercial performances, Variety shows, or even becoming an actor to make money. Singer Pu Shu once said bluntly in a program that he came to the program just to make money because he was really short of money. It spoke of so much bitterness and helplessness.

Many people can’t help but lament the decline of the Chinese music scene. What do you guys think about this? Come to the comment area to chat ~
