Qi Qin withdrew again!
The last time he withdrew from the competition was in " I am a singer ", which attracted widespread attention at the time and also made his reputation face doubts.
Recently, he withdrew from the competition in "Our Song". After participating in two episodes, he withdrew from the subsequent recording on the grounds of "schedule conflict", and Xiao Jingteng replaced him.
schedule conflict certainly does not exist. Qi Qin's schedule is not so busy. Such a program must have been decided a long time in advance. If there is a conflict, it should be other activities that give way to the program. In fact, Qi Qin's current activities are mainly ordinary commercial performances, so where is there any more important activities than large-scale music variety shows like "Our Songs".
In fact, after I first learned that he joined this show, I kept worrying for him, and I thought that he might withdraw from the competition halfway, but I didn’t expect that he would withdraw so early. As for the reasons for withdrawing from the competition, I think there are the following aspects.
1. Working with Zhang Bichen is not harmonious
In fact, these songs that Qi Qin and Zhang Bichen collaborate are pretty good, but intuition tells me that the two of them do not match each other, and this kind of restraint is the kind that is difficult to disappear due to contact and running-in. Although Qi Qin and Zhang Bichen had contact with Good Voice many years ago, this foundation did not help them in this cooperation at all and were still quite alive.
Review of "Our Songs" seasons 1-3, if we want to evaluate the most disharmonious partner group, I think the first season of Huang Kaiqin & Li Ziting ranked first, followed by this year's Qi Qin & Zhang Bichen. To say that they are not harmonious does not necessarily mean that they are working together on stage, but that there is always a barrier between the two of them, respect each other and will not be able to joke. It is easy for them to be unhappy and embarrassed when they are together.
Especially Zhang Bichen, he must be very stressed in front of Qi Qin and hesitated no matter what he said. For example, when she and Qi Qin were in the restaurant, they were facing a lot of delicious food on the table. Foodie Zhang Bichen couldn't help but talk, but Qi Qin didn't say anything, and she forced herself to say no to eat.
The main factor is that Qi Qin is also in harmony.
Zhang Bichen changed her personal partner. I believe she would feel much more comfortable. If you don’t believe it, let’s look at her cooperation with Xiao Jingteng. That kind of restraint will definitely no longer exist.
But Qi Qin, I can't think of anyone who can get along with him and cooperate with him in a very harmonious and comfortable manner, and stimulate his youthful vitality like a good friend. Maybe it’s because he is a “wolf”. He was a lonely wolf when he was young. Now he is old. Although he is no longer sharp, it is still difficult to integrate with other people’s hearts.
2. The singing strength is no longer as good as before
In addition to the discord in their partners, Qi Qin's singing strength is no longer able to do so. When he sang with Zhang Bichen, Zhang Bichen's performance often exceeded the audience's expectations, and could even be said to be amazing; while Qi Qin, everyone may not have high expectations for him, but it is more out of a kind of sentiment, just wanting not to collapse, and the actual performance is indeed the case.
Back then, Qi Qin's clear and moving singing voice, unrestrained image, and outstanding creative talent, had fascinated many boys and girls. He was a top superstar of the powerful + idol school. Even the two great music godfathers praised him very much. Lee Zongsheng praised his voice as if inlaid with gold. Luo Dayou even praised Qi Qin as a spiritual city...
years are ruthless. The former male god and singer king, and his performance on the variety show stage can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
3. The program team's attitude towards Qi Qin is also worth discussing
In terms of qualifications, Qi Qin's current generation singers are the most suitable. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the pop singer of a time, and everyone who has experienced it knows it. But on this year's show, I was praising another senior, , Lin Zixiang, , from beginning to end. Even I felt a little deliberate, while Qi Qin, who is also a senior, became a little transparent.
That's right, Lin Zixiang is older than Qi Qin and has a better singing skills, especially now at the age of 74, which can be said to make Qi Qin embarrassed. But objectively speaking, in terms of the influence and status of in the Chinese music scene, Lin Zixiang and Qi Qin are really not at the same level. Lin Zixiang only has considerable influence in the Cantonese music scene and is famous for his powerful high notes. He then has a few well-known representative works such as "Men Should Strengthen Self-Reliance"; and Qi Qin was an iconic figure who influenced the entire Chinese music scene from the 1980s to 1990s. The Hong Kong music scene that can compare with Qi Qin should be a superstar of Alan Tam, not Lam.
Now Qi Qin and Lin Zixiang appeared together in the A-team of Group A of "Our Songs". The program team praised Lin Zixiang too much, but he didn't care much about Qi Qin. I guess it also made Qi Qin have a psychological gap.
4. Volkswagen no longer buys Qi Qin's account
Judging from netizens' votes, the two stages of Qi Qin and Zhang Bichen are absolutely at the bottom of the entire program. The most popular stage in the same group has more than 200,000 votes (the highest in Group B is more than 500,000 votes), and the third-to-last there are 2,848 votes, while their "Wolf" has only 71 votes, and " The Ruthless Rain and You " has as low as 30 votes.
This huge gap in support rates is rare in the history of Chinese variety shows. Zhang Bichen's popularity is OK, but she has received such an outrageous number of votes, which shows that her fans have almost given up supporting their stage.
In addition to the proper singing, many netizens also complained that Qi Qin was sloppy in image management, and was still as unkempt as participating in a low-level commercial stage: big belly, leather pants, and untrimmed nose hair, which made people feel out of the way...
Look at the 74-year-old Lin Zixiang, who put on makeup himself before going on stage, embellishing himself properly. This is a respect for the audience and the stage, and also a respect for his partners.
Although many people don’t want to say it, one fact that Qi Qin dragged down Zhang Bichen. After the
program was broadcast, perhaps Qi Qin also felt this pressure, so it is no surprise that he withdrew from the competition. If you stay still, you will be even more indifferent to your face.
Isn’t it the same in “I Am a Singer” back then? After two consecutive unsatisfactory results, I withdrew on the grounds of going to the United States to accompany my mother.
Maybe Qi Qin wanted to save her last face, but withdrawing from the competition is a very shameless move. Others will say, don’t come if you can’t afford to lose. After a while, you will give up when you see the situation is wrong. Isn’t this more disappointing than elimination?
Looking back at the variety shows that Qi Qin has participated in over the years, almost no stage is glorious. From the withdrawal of "I Am a Singer", to the frequent turn of " China's Voice " but was repeatedly abandoned by students, and then to "China Star" as a player, and was later eliminated. Now we are here to "Our Song" and then withdrew again...
Many veteran Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have been doing well in the mainland with variety shows (such as Li Keqin , Zhang Xinzhe ), and there are also many veteran Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who don't easily appear on variety shows (such as Jacky Cheung , Andy Lau ), only Qi Qin, who is exactly the kind of artist who does not refuse variety shows but ends in a mess every time.
Why did the legendary singer of the generation fall to this point? The reason why you don’t cherish your feathers is that you don’t know yourself enough or are you too short of money?
Qi Qin broke his feathers in this way, obviously making his path narrower and narrower. Since "China Star" in 2015, he has rarely been seen appearing on the stage of large-scale music programs. But after all, he has a deep status, so this year "Our Song" tentatively invited him, and he agreed.
result proved that it was another failed test. Qi Qin's road has become narrower again, and there are probably fewer programs to invite him in the future.
