The 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show officially kicked off on November 17th. As the final battle of this year’s A-class auto show, major manufacturers also brought their own ultimate products. According to statistics, the total number of cars exhibited at this year’s auto show reached 1,132, including 469 new energy vehicles and 59 new cars launched in the world. Such a dense number of new cars is really dazzling. It doesn’t matter. Today, we have compiled 10 must-see hot models at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, E-class and E-class. How to choose MEGA and X9? Who is harder in Prado? Let’s take a look.

1. The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase version VS the new BMW 5 Series long wheelbase version.

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase version is open for pre-sale, and the pre-sale price range is 45.00-540,000 yuan.

The new domestic BMW 5 Series /i5 will be put into production in January next year.

E-Class Harmony, a pair of tell it to the judge, who have been in love and killing each other for many years, will appear at the same time at this Guangzhou Auto Show, which is bound to collide with a lot of sparks. First of all, in terms of styling, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class still takes elegance as the main line, while the new BMW 5 Series has a larger size, so it has a stronger gas field.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase version are 5092/1880/1493mm and the wheelbase is 3094mm respectively. The length, width and height of the new 5-Series long wheelbase version are 5175/1900/1520mm and the wheelbase is 3105 mm. Obviously, BMW has an advantage in terms of size. As for the spatial performance, there is a suspense. We will also bring you a comparative experience if we have the opportunity.

The interiors of the two new cars also have the same characteristics, that is, intelligence and technology configuration. The new BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 12.3-inch instrument and a 14.9-inch central control screen, while the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class adopts a triple screen design consistent with Mercedes-Benz EQS. In terms of car system, BMW 5 Series is equipped with iDrive 8.5 system, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the third-generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, with excellent fluency performance. As for voice control, the two cars can also be regarded as keeping up with the pace of the times, and then we will bring you comparative tests when we have the opportunity.

In terms of power, it is actually the smallest difference between the two cars, which lies entirely in the difference in driving experience brought by different styles of training, but the more important point lies in the electrification of new energy. At this auto show, the new BMW i5 was unveiled together, and the heat was not lower than that of the fuel version 5 series, while Mercedes-Benz can only compete with EQE, so the newer BMW i5 seems to have more advantages in more aspects.

Many people ask which one is better, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class or the new BMW 5 Series. In fact, the groups of the two cars are slightly different. One is more mature and the other is more dynamic. It can only be said that the one that suits you is the best, but if you want to ask how to choose BMW i5 and EQE, then I personally prefer BMW i5.

2. Ideal MEGA VS Tucki X9

Ideal MEGA: open blind subscription

Pre-sale price of Tucki X9: starting from 388,000 yuan.

MPV models have really staged a drama of salted fish turning over in the domestic market, and they are gone forever on the road to luxury and high-end. Ideal MEGA: MPV, which is the hottest and most talked about at the moment, is also presented at this auto show as yet we called and urged a thousand times before she started toward us and Kirin battery, which supports ultra-fast charging at 5C rate, with drag coefficient of 0.215Cd, dual-chamber air spring+variable damping shock absorber, and comprehensive battery life exceeding 700km, etc. It is worth talking about which one to take out alone.

In contrast, the popularity of Tucki X9 seems to be lower, but as the flagship medium and large MPV, the low-key of Tucki X9 does not mean that it has no bright spots. Global 800V, front and rear integrated aluminum die-casting, XNGP and other core technologies of boosting architecture, and it is also the only MPV with rear wheel steering as standard in the world. At the same time, as the first vehicle equipped with XOS Tianqi intelligent cockpit system, Tucki X9 will bring the application scenarios and travel experience of the next generation intelligent cockpit.

As medium and large MPVs, both cars are big men in terms of figure. The ideal MEGA has a length, width and height of 5350/1965/1850mm and a wheelbase of 3300mm, respectively. The length, width and height of Tucki X9 are 5293/1988/1785mm and the wheelbase is 3160mm, which is a little smaller than the ideal MEGA in terms of size data, but both cars are definitely big in terms of visual effects.

Ideal MEGA and Tucki X9 are bound to become hot spots in the MPV market in 2024. At present, the understanding of them is only limited to the static part. As for the dynamic performance, it is also worth looking forward to. What surprises will they bring? Let’s wait and see.

3, tank 700 Hi4-T VS brand new domestic Toyota Prado

Tank 700 Hi4-T: The pre-sale price is 700,000 yuan.

Brand-new domestic Toyota Prado: Open the reservation after the Spring Festival

At present, in the domestic market, the hard-core SUV may be able to compete with MPV. The 700 Hi4-T and the brand-new Prado are undoubtedly the two cars with the highest attention at this auto show. The appearance of the tank 700 Hi4-T will continue the "Mecha Technology" route. The length, width and height of the new car are 5090(5113)/2061/1952mm, and the wheelbase is 3000mm, which is adopted by the new car. In addition, the specifications of the front/rear tires of the new car are 275/60 R20 and 275/50 R22, respectively, with high ground clearance, and the approach angle and departure angle are expected to be greater than 30 degrees.

In terms of power, it is expected to be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 3.0T+P2 motor. As a reference, the fuel version will be equipped with a 3.0T engine with a maximum power of 265kW, and the transmission system is expected to match the 9-speed automatic manual transmission.

The length, width and height of the new Prado are 4920mm/1980mm/1860mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2850mm (excluding the size of the external spare tire). The new Prado is a 7-seat SUV. After the last row is put down, the trunk can also have more storage space. At the same time, due to the hybrid of oil and electricity in Prado, the battery will be smaller and occupy less space in the car.

The comfort configuration of the new Prado is not bad, including seat heating/ventilation, steering wheel heating, mobile phone wireless interconnection, panoramic sunroof, 14-speaker JBL speaker, three-temperature zone air conditioning and so on. However, the display of interior materials and the sense of science and technology in the car are definitely not as good as China brand new energy off-road SUV.

The new Prado, which is about to be made in China, will be equipped with a 2.4T hybrid system of oil and electricity, and bid farewell to the large-displacement naturally aspirated engine. Its system has a comprehensive maximum power of 330 HP (243 kW) and a maximum torque of 630 Nm. Its parameter level is better than that of the fuel tank 500, but lower than that of the tank 500 Hi4-T. Compared with the vehicles in the new energy field, there is still a gap in power parameters.

In terms of off-road performance, the new Prado will be equipped with middle and rear differential locks, high and low speed four-wheel drive, which can amplify the torque. At the same time, the new car will also be equipped with multi-terrain control and creep mode. The maximum approach angle of the new car is 31 degrees, the maximum departure angle is 22 degrees, and the ground clearance can reach 221 mm. At the same time, the new car also provides a multi-terrain monitor to provide convenience for off-road users.

4, the new Toyota Camry VS the new modern Sonata

The new generation Toyota Camry is built based on TNGA-K platform. The new car adopts the latest design ideas of the brand, but some traditional elements have also been continued. The difference between the two different versions of the car is mainly concentrated in the front grille of the "big mouth". One is a honeycomb grid design, which highlights the sense of movement; The other is designed for banner trim, which looks more exquisite. The waistline design is one of its biggest design highlights. At the same time, the XSE version of the car adopts a roof design with a different color from the car body, creating a suspended visual effect.

According to different configurations, the interior materials will also be different. For example, the XSE model is equipped with red+black leather. In addition, it is reported that XLE and XSE models will have optional seat heating/ventilation function.

In terms of power, it is said that the new car will not launch a fuel version, and the whole system is a "powered version".

Among them, the maximum power of the two-wheel drive model is 168 kW; The four-wheel drive version adds a drive motor to the rear axle with a maximum power of 173 kW.

In the future, the car will provide two versions, the regular version and the N Line, for consumers to choose from. In the interior, the car adopts an integrated screen design consisting of double 12.3 inches and increases the visual effect of the curved surface. With the brand-new three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, the car looks very textured. At the same time, the car will be equipped with a large skylight, a 12-speaker BOSE sound, and a number of adjustments in the main driver’s seat.

In terms of power, overseas models will provide five options, including 2.5T, 1.6T and 2.0L gasoline engines, 2.0L hybrid systems and 2.0L natural gas (LPG) engines. Among them, the 2.5T GDi turbo four-cylinder engine of N series is called "Theta III" engine and will be equipped with dual injection system. The transmission system will match the automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive system, which is likely to be exclusive to Sonata N.

5. Extreme Krypton 007

Now the new models are more and more, Toyota RAV4 Rongfang 2022 models out of 10 configuration models, dazzling people, the 10 configuration models price range of 175,800 – 260,800 yuan, each product power again advanced. Let’s take a look at the new models What changes, how should we choose?

The 10 configuration models can be divided into three factions according to the power division: the 2.0L two-wheel drive gasoline version has the urban version, the fashion version, the fashion Plus version, and the distinguished version; the 2.0L four-wheel drive gasoline version has the fashion four-wheel drive version, the fashion Plus four-wheel drive version, and the distinguished four-wheel drive version; the 2.5L dual-engine version has the elite version, the elite Plus four-wheel drive version, and the flagship four-wheel drive version.

The power performance of the three camps is also different. Among them, the 2.0L fuel version engine has a maximum power of 171 horsepower and a peak torque of 209 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a CVT gearbox that can simulate a 10-speed shift. The official NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.8 liters/100 kilometers (the four-wheel drive version is 6.4 liters/100 kilometers).

The 2.5L dual-engine version is equipped with Toyota’s second-generation dual-engine hybrid system (THS II), the two-wheel drive version adopts a rear single-motor layout, the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.7 liters/100 kilometers, and the four-wheel drive version is equipped with a motor in the front and rear axles. The NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.0 liters/100 kilometers, and the transmission system is matched with an E-CVT transmission.

After reading the difference between power and then look at the configuration. The entry-level model of 2022 RAV4 Rongfang is the urban version, and the guide price is 175,800 yuan. The vehicle is not only equipped with full LED headlights, fixed speed cruise, adaptive cruise, L2-level auxiliary driving, automatic parking, uphill assistance, three driving modes, but also has no shrinkage in safety configuration, which is fully sufficient for daily use.

The second low version is the fashion version, and the guide price is 195,800 yuan. In addition to the full set of Toyota Zhixing safety system, this model also has practical functions such as 360 ° panoramic image, electric sunroof, keyless entry, etc. In addition, the size of the central control screen is also upgraded from 8 inches to 10.1 inches, which is quite cost-effective. Compared with the higher-level fashion PLUS version (priced at 200,800 yuan), the fashion version only lacks comfort functions such as front/rear parking radar, leather steering wheel, leather seats and seat heating.

The three models under the 2.0L four-wheel drive gasoline version are relatively mediocre, without the cost performance of the 2.0L two-wheel drive gasoline version, and without the strong power of the 2.5L dual-engine version. The fashion four-wheel drive version is the entry version, priced at 206,800 yuan. Compared with the fashion Plus four-wheel drive version, it lacks front and rear parking radars. The steering wheel is made of plastic, the seats are made of fabric, and the front seats lack heating function. The price difference is only 5,000 yuan. The top version is the noble four-wheel drive version, priced at 228,800 yuan. Compared with the fashion Plus four-wheel drive version, it adds a steep slope and a slow descent, a segmented panoramic sunroof that can be opened, and a roof luggage rack. The price difference is 17,000 yuan. Overall, the fashion Plus four-wheel drive version is recommended.

In the hybrid model, the elite four-wheel drive PLUS version is the most recommended model. Specifically, the price of the elite four-wheel drive PLUS version is 18,000 yuan more expensive than the elite version. The main difference between the two is that the elite four-wheel drive PLUS version is equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system, while the elite version is a single-motor front drive, which is stronger and weaker. Compared with the flagship four-wheel drive version with the top, the elite four-wheel drive PLUS version only lacks the streaming rearview mirror, electric rear tailgate and the configuration of the panoramic sunroof and roof rack, but there is a price difference of 17,000 yuan between the two.

Overall, the 2.0L two-wheel drive fashion version is the most cost-effective, and the configuration fully meets the daily commute. When purchasing a car, it can be given priority. If the owner has a sufficient budget and pursues lower fuel consumption, then spending 48,000 yuan to choose the 2.5L dual-engine four-wheel drive elite PLUS version is also a very worthwhile choice.

accelerate brake fuel consumption second rice liter Measured fuel consumption 4.3L test FAW Toyota Corolla Dual Engine Review Editor – Zhang Ke:

We are already very familiar with the hybrid system, the driving experience is relatively smooth, and driving in urban areas is very fuel-efficient. In fact, the biggest highlight is the price. This is the first time the hybrid system has been produced in a country other than Japan, and the cost is greatly reduced, making the hybrid model not too expensive than the conventional power model, and it is easier to get back the cost! If you often drive in urban areas, it is recommended to buy

Review Editor – Li Jia:

The sales of the gasoline version of the Corolla are already quite eye-catching at this level, so I am not worried about the market performance of the Corolla Dual Engine, because it is only a little more expensive than the ordinary gasoline version of the Corolla, but it is definitely a high-value, low-cost Corolla. If you don’t pay attention to the power flow diagram on the dashboard during daily driving, you can basically drive it as an ordinary gasoline version of the Corolla.

Review Editor -:

As a family car that focuses on economy, the performance of the Corolla Duo Engine is very satisfactory. Although the power is not outstanding, it can also meet the needs of urban transportation. The key point is the super economy, which makes people impeccable. Overall performance, I think it is not too much for the Corolla Duo Engine to get nine points. But unfortunately, in most areas, the Corolla Duo Engine is not included in the scope of subsidies for new energy vehicles, which is quite a pity, because the Duo Engine power does not need to rely on charging piles, it only needs to be refueled, and it has the advantages of more fuel-efficient traffic congestion, and the technology is mature. It can only be said that it is a bit "born at the wrong time".

In early June, Lexus officially released the new generation of RX, which attracted much attention. The most attractive thing about the new generation of RX is that it is equipped with three new hybrid systems – the combination of these three hybrid systems is quite interesting – not only Toyota family hybrid hybrid, but also plug-in hybrid, and the most unexpected thing is that the high-end RX500h is actually equipped with a parallel hybrid system.

At present, most automobile companies regard parallel hybrid as an entry-level hybrid technology, and why does Lexus, which has rich technical accumulation in the hybrid field, use such a "popular hybrid system"?

The architecture of the parallel hybrid system is not a rare technology in the hybrid camp – at the beginning of this century, Honda officially released the IMA hybrid as a parallel hybrid system. But compared with the THS hybrid of the hybrid architecture of the Toyota Prius at the same time, the parallel IMA has a big gap in economy compared with Toyota because it lacks a power path. Therefore, Honda later developed the i-MMD hybrid system.

As the name suggests, the parallel hybrid means that the engine and the motor are independent of each other, and the power output is "one for each table", which corresponds to the transmission system separately. Because the engine and the motor are independent of each other, the whole structure is simpler than the hybrid, and it is easier to complete the upgrade operation on the traditional power model – it only needs to integrate an electric motor in the gearbox to complete the design of the whole architecture.

In the past few years, the parallel hybrid architecture has been widely used by European car companies and local brands. During this period, we were keen to define this structure in terms of the division from P0 to P4. Representative models include Volkswagen’s GTE, BMW’s eDrive, etc. Until now, this parallel hybrid system is still the main focus of European plug-in hybrid models.

Due to its relatively simple structure, the economy of a parallel hybrid system is not particularly good, and it cannot efficiently utilize the remaining power of the engine.

At the same time, when the battery pack is short of power, the performance of the parallel hybrid system will decline significantly – especially those European plug-in hybrid models that are mainly plug-in hybrids and use the electric motor to drive the vehicle alone to achieve pure electric cruising range.

Lexus RX brings new flowers to the old tree of parallel hybrids. Although there are certain shortcomings compared with hybrid hybrids in terms of structural access and economy, parallel hybrids have an advantage that hybrid hybrids cannot match – power performance.

Because the transmission of the traditional power system is retained, the parallel hybrid system can take advantage of the multi-speed ratio advantage of the transmission to amplify the output characteristics of the motor constant power and constant torque multiple times, resulting in a more direct power response. Hybrid hybrid systems focus on energy efficiency, while parallel hybrid systems focus more on performance.

The new generation of RX450h + and RX350h are plug-in versions and gasoline-electric hybrid versions respectively. The main product feature is lower energy consumption, but Lexus still launched the RX500h, obviously to amplify the "performance-first" characteristics of the parallel hybrid and become a unique "product selling point". In a sense, the RX500h is a subconscious "showmanship" of Lexus.

The Lexus RX 500h is both a top-of-the-line model and a high-performance version of the new generation, as can be seen from its name – the RX 500h F Sport Performance – not only the F Sport package, but also a full set of sports adjustments.

The RX 500h is equipped with a parallel hybrid system composed of a 2.4T turbocharged engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission, two electric motors, and a DIRECT4 OurHours four-wheel drive system.

The front motor and the engine form a system with a combined output of 371 horsepower, and the rear axle is equipped with a drive motor rated at 80 kilowatts. The front motor is located between the internal combustion engine and the gearbox, which is the P2 architecture we have often talked about before. On both sides of the motor, clutches are arranged to allow the transmission of the entire power system to have greater flexibility.

Unlike the parallel hybrid models we have often seen before, the Lexus RX 500h does not feature a plug-in hybrid configuration.

In other words, the electric energy source of the motor is derived from the kinetic energy recovery of the vehicle itself and the charging of the battery by the engine under the remaining power. In this mode, the motor does not play the main role of driving the vehicle, and the power output of the whole system is dominated by the 2.4T turbocharged engine and the 6-speed automatic transmission.

In most cases, the battery pack of this parallel hybrid system will not lose power. The role of the battery pack in this process is the same as that of ordinary hybrid models. It only collects and utilizes the remaining power of the engine and the kinetic energy of the vehicle to bring continuous power output to the motor. The battery will not be too large, and the charging and discharging speed will be very fast. It is completely sufficient for the needs of emphasizing the performance of the vehicle.

The DIRECT4 dynamic four-wheel drive system is the highlight of the RX 500h.

The DIRECT4 dynamic four-wheel drive system is Lexus’ exclusive drive technology, which was recently introduced on the Lexus RZ 450e. It is a set of intelligent algorithms that flexibly and accurately adjust the output of the front and rear axle drive motor based entirely on the output characteristics of the motor.

With the DIRECT4 dynamic four-wheel drive system, the vehicle can achieve real-time seamless adjustment of the driving force between the front and rear axles in any situation. Through real-time seamless adjustment of the front and rear axles, it brings more accurate dynamic control responses than any mechanical system.

It is no exaggeration to say that this DIRECT4 dynamic four-wheel drive system allows the RX 500h to simultaneously have all the dynamic characteristics of front-drive vehicles, rear-drive vehicles, and OurHours four-wheel drive vehicles, and in each feature requirement, it will be more than one level stronger than any fuel-powered vehicle.

As a high-performance version of the model, the Lexus RX 500h also features high-performance front brake calipers and a rear axle dynamic steering system, allowing the rear axle to obtain accurate driving force while also determining the optimum rear wheel steering angle, enhancing stability and comfort at high speed cornering.

The stable Lexus is reinventing the car with electrification.

We have said more than once that with the advent of the electrification era, the driving quality and dynamic response of cars can reach a height that fuel vehicles cannot match. The key to the comprehensive replacement of fuel vehicles by new energy power models should also be this comprehensive upgrade at the consumption level, so as to achieve market-oriented changes.

The Lexus RX 500h is a parallel hybrid to achieve a comprehensive improvement in performance. It can be seen that Lexus has been playing well on the electrification development route. It can use a clear and independent product demand to efficiently match the corresponding technical route, rather than following the trend like other companies.

While BMW is less and less enthusiastic about handling, Lexus is more and more fond of "shaping control", which is indeed a very interesting thing.

Cai Xukun has become the king of rock and roll. Is it a distortion of the list or a loss of aesthetics?/Tuchong Creative

Popular music pierces the cultural undercurrents of our society with a sharp touch. It allows listeners to enjoy themselves while feeling melancholy. Between emotional reversals, bad money drives out good money, and fans bully ordinary listeners, thus creating a generation of young people who have no songs to listen to and can’t listen to songs.

Rock fans never expected that the hottest rock singer of 2019 would be Cai Xukun.

According to the Golden Tower Awards list, the top 1 favorite rock music of college students in 2019 is Cai Xukun’s "Rebirth", with a comprehensive score more than 30 points higher than the second-place New Pants Band.

The introduction to the Golden Tower Awards says it is "the most authoritative award in the Chinese campus market."

On the music charts that require fans to brush the charts, no one can shake the status of ikun (Cai Xukun’s fan name, homonym "Ai Kun") – even Jay Chou, the national idol, can barely match it.

In September, Jay Chou’s new song "Say Good Don’t Cry" maxed out the whole network, and as soon as it was online, it contracted nearly half of the hot searches on Weibo, and sold 2.88 million digital albums in just one hour.

But according to the latest "2019 China Data Music List", Cai Xukun’s EP sales in 2019 still far exceeded Jay Chou’s.

"The music market in 2019 is a win-win situation for the’Battle of Kunlun ‘." This sentence is not a good word for Jay Chou’s "Sunset Red Fans" or the ikuns who are struggling to win the rankings.

When Tengger is singing Wolf in Cantonese with Yang Mi, what other music is unacceptable?

All the quarrels between the needle and the wheat were silenced with the emergence of "Wolf Disco", a rap song that crossed the boundaries of earthy taste and literature, and was definitely a hit at the end of last year.

It has not only repeatedly topped the major music charts, but also appeared on the New Year’s Eve party of Hunan, Jiangsu, and Oriental in different forms this year.

The Internet Divine Comedy has once again become a brainwashing melody that we cannot avoid. Gyms, restaurants, bars… Every corner of the public place is urging us to draw rainbows on the left, dragons on the right, and Guo Fucheng on our chests; entering the virtual world, we receive all kinds of confusing "authoritative" music lists.

Mr. Zheng once described the current music charts as crap on the talk show "See You Tonight at Nine," but on the recent broadcast of "Roast," he said: "I have no right to judge music, because there is no music anymore."

The Tibetan Mastiff who refused to be docile seemed to be unable to do anything except not evaluate it./"Roast"

Even the former "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" Zheng Jun, who was so direct against major music platforms, could be said to be risking the world. After all, no one was willing to admit that his music taste was not good, and fans couldn’t accept that the songs he brushed out every day were defective music.

Everyone is forced to accept the cultural outcome of this business logic. Can this generation of young people really not listen to music? Or is it true that the Chinese people today have no songs to listen to?

Young people with no songs to listen to

It can be said that the "holy war" that fans brush the list originated from Wu Yifan.

In November 2018, Wu Yifan’s debut album "Antu" landed on the US iTunes music chart. Kris Wu, a slightly unfamiliar name to American netizens, overtook A sister Ariana Granda, Lady Gaga, Queen and others within a few days, representing American fans to exclude others from the top three.

Forbes reported that "Wu Yifan brought Chinese music to the West with a new album." Although this way of boosting popularity with money and yelling is not very glorious in hindsight, it at the time showed many fans at home and abroad the power of Chinese "bots" (water army) and made the world foresee the huge scale of the Chinese mainland music market.

The farce ended, and the results were cleared./@ifeng.com Dafeng

According to the "2019 China Digital Music Industry Research Report" released by iResearch, the size of China’s digital music market has reached 7.63 billion yuan in 2018, an increase of nearly 60% year-on-year.

The "2019 Global Music Industry Report" released by the International Federation of Phonographic Records IFPI shows that China has soared to seventh place in 2018 after entering the world’s top ten music markets for the first time in 2017.

Under the huge music market, there are many young people who have no songs to listen to.

According to the "2019Q3 Chinese Digital Music Industry Quarterly Report" released by your music chart, the largest proportion of popular songs in the Q3 quarter of 2019 was OST (film and television soundtrack).

As the saying goes, "Since ancient times, bad movies have produced good songs". Nowadays, there is no audience to watch good movies, and even good songs can only be collected from movies and TV dramas.

I watch dramas to listen to songs./"2019Q3 Chinese Digital Music Industry Quarterly Report"

In addition, the second most popular songs are from idol stars, accounting for 25% from 19%. In comparison, powerful singers and independent musicians are relatively weak.

Veteran powerful singers have chosen to reach the younger generation by singing OST songs. After many years of silence, singer Lin Zhixuan sang the theme song "Drunken Dream Past" of the anime "Master of the Devil Dao · Xianyun"; a melodious "Do You Know It or Not" made Hu Xia and Yu Kewei, two "old singers", return to the attention of fans.

Compared with male singers, the leading female solo singers in the Chinese market in 2019 are very scarce, with only 3% of the songs on the list becoming popular.

Among the leading female singers, Li Yuchun and Deng Ziqi are still the mainstays, and among the remaining female singers, nearly 50% are online rookies.

The slump in the Chinese music scene has almost become a recognized fact, but many young people who rely on film and television theme songs, new albums by idol singers, and online brainwashing divine songs to enrich their playlists will never admit that their musical aesthetics are inferior to others. Even if life is a mess, their musical taste is still perfect and invincible.

A few days ago, NetEase Cloud Music launched its 2019 annual personal summary report, and the circle of friends was immediately flooded with screenshots of various reports. It is rare for contemporary people to share their inner secrets so directly. Music has given us this opportunity.

Scholar *** once said: "Song playback, song ordering, song sharing comments, promotion, and learning to sing songs all reflect a kind of auditory egocentrism, which is a manifestation of narcissistic narration in the Internet age."

Under the general identity anxiety in society, people use pop music to reinvent their identity, and the significance of this load in songs exceeds the quality of the songs themselves, so that young people who "have no songs to listen to" no longer actively seek better music.

The draft "killed" Chinese pop

In June 2015, Mr. Wang Feng, who was deeply troubled by "making headlines", was completely angered by a candid photographer. He published an article through his studio titled "Without Wang Feng, the mainland music industry lost half of its country", stating that he had never cared that he could not make headlines. The article also posted various data reports to prove that without Wang Feng, mainland music would be "miserable" and "lost half of its country".

The name "Wang Banbi" came from this, becoming a label that Wang Feng could never tear off, but looking at the current domestic pop music scene, there is some truth to this.

The people who laughed at Wang Feng back then probably didn’t expect that they can’t wait to have a few more Wang Feng now./Tuchong Creative

Wang Xiaofeng, a music critic, once said that "one Wang Feng could rival all the rock singers in China." "Wang Feng understood how to take both rock and pop markets, and he was the first singer to let performers blur the concept of rock and pop."

As a "traitor in the eyes of rock listeners", Wang Feng’s way of fusing rock and pop is to become a mentor on "The Voice of China" and ask all the contestants who come to compete – "What is your dream?"

Since the birth of "The Voice of China", there has been a story group specially responsible for planning the stories of the contestants. The rock youth who once vowed to bloom in the rock industry has become the introduction to the sad and inspirational stories of the contestants in the talent show. I wonder if such a life experience can make his later singing career "fly higher".

"The music show is essentially a sign of the music depression," Mr. Li once said. "It’s ultimately a show, a trick." And this grand and long trick is about to kill the last breath of mainland pop music.

Wang Xiaofeng commented in his article "Where has the music gone?"

"The draft has directly caused today’s listeners to lose their aesthetic judgment of music. In the ears of TV viewers, the only word left in the aesthetic judgment of music is’singing skills’. They are more disturbed by the so-called inspirational life, gossip news, and gags. These contestants are instantly magnified to be very three-dimensional, but their music has become extremely dry."

Grassroots stars are propelled forward by a wave of overnight fame, with agencies providing blind and discerning young people with the lowest level of music products, convincing them that this is the best music.

The industry and aesthetic standards originally mastered by record companies were preempted by variety shows.

"These draft stars urged by catalysts have no professional achievements at all, and naturally they lack celebrity temperament. They are just celebrities under the saliva of social media," Wang Xiaofeng commented.

The deformed market mechanism is bound to produce only snobbish businesspeople and lazy speculators. Li Ronghao, who has assembled a team to produce new songs and finally released them from September to December, must have a deep understanding of this.

However, the audience’s enthusiasm for the talent show will not be diminished in the slightest. Every poor piece of music, when it is heard by the audience, the audience is trapped in this quagmire and cannot break free.

Only pop, no music

In 2001, six years after the death of the famous Taiwanese music producer Yang Minghuang in a car accident, his friend Huang Shujun was still deeply saddened by the death of his friend. Therefore, he chose the occasion of 1995 and released the song "Change 1995" to tell his nostalgic friend about the changes in the world after his departure.

There is a line in the lyrics: "Only pop, no music, I see that you are out of sight and clean, and it will be a good thing."

The prophecy of "only pop, no music" also entered the 21st century, and it has not been broken to this day.

The blogger @ChineseRock Rock Hell once said: "The so-called music industry is also quite interesting now. It never mentions the quality of the songs, and it calls out how many songs have been sold. After the end, the manuscript will be released, and the Chinese music industry will be revived. Everyone is happy."

The willful neglect of song quality is in part due to the failure of popular music to gain intellectual favor.

How many more songs can you listen to for your sweetheart?

According to the "Report on the Survival Status of Independent Musicians in China" released by NetEase Cloud Music in 2016, the professional level of independent musicians in China is still very low, most of them are self-taught, and only 11.8% have received professional and systematic music training.

Listeners and the pop industry as a whole don’t care, they all follow the pleasure principle – the industry creates the desire to consume, and the audience creates the consumption.

Fans’ enthusiasm for songs has been divorced from the music itself, and songs have become a symbol for listeners to prove their aesthetic taste and a host for material consumption.

But soaring chart numbers cannot disguise the collapse of the music industry as a whole. Audiences will one day tire of old-fashioned lyrics, cover adaptations, plagiarism, and brainwashing songs that always make it to the charts.

Last year’s Mid-Autumn Festival party, Tan Weiwei’s magic reform cover of "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" was refuted by the original author Xu Jingqing./Tuchong Creative

Last May, the BBC published an article analyzing how emotions like sadness and loneliness have become more prevalent in song lyrics since the 1980s, and that pop music today is more aggressive and fearful than it was in punk’s heyday.

Popular music has pierced the cultural undercurrent of our society, allowing listeners to enjoy themselves while feeling depressed. Between emotional reversals, bad money drives out good money, and fans bully ordinary listeners, thus creating a generation of young people who have no songs to listen to and can’t listen to songs.
