Local Gen-Z’s love for Chinese talent shows boosts Tencent and iQiyi’s SE Asian growthĪs this global streaming competition intensifies, Southeast Asia will likely become an important place to observe China’s entertainment and cultural export. The trainees here are Simply Joy‘s Russell and Ailizati, JS Entertainment‘s River ( Xiao He, not to be confused with River/ Huang He) (these names, am I right?), Chase Lee who made a good impression during the media test, “Ayo Everybody” WD who just keeps going and going, and G.G Zhang Siyuan, who kind of has a Lay thing going on.Local Gen-Z’s love for Chinese talent shows boosts Tencent and iQiyi’s SE Asian growth - PingWest English 中文 I’ve heard that “Ayo Everybody” song before. I’m prediciting a “chip-on-the-shoulder” character arc for Krystian.įinally Tony and Sun Yihang (from Episode 1) get their ranks too, A and B respectively.īig group of rappers coming through. Again, this seems consistent with the editing. B’s are for the rest, including Krystian. C’s are given to all of B/G and YouHug, except for their solo dancers (sorry Joker). Krystian comes with an original track and shows all-rounder capabilities.įinally the rankings. He could have probably just stood there and gotten a standing ovation (at least from me). Kachine is all feathers and teeth and hair and perfect skin. X’s beastly “Yes OK!!” cover is fun as hell.

The top dancers in the group square off in a extra battle for the judges. Oh yes and also Wei Hongyu from BF (Big Face) Entertainment. Next up are two social media heavyweights, IKELILI and RADiANT PiCTURES‘ Liam, an actor branching out into the world of idol-dom. We’ll see how this strategy pans out through the rest of the show. This might also be a primary reason why the evaluations seem all over the place for now. Drrchen, who can definitely sing live, is tossed into the Newbie pile for reasons, but more to show the viewers ‘it’s not all about singing well’. But the end results may not be so clear-cut. These rules are also influencing the show’s narrative, with charismatic idols who can’t sing getting “exposed”. The document calls it “deception,” a Weibo commenter comments “I can’t tell if these new rules are supposed to punish the artists or their audiences.” Thusly, we can see these shows now installing and enforcing this specific rule (note the “Full Open Mic Live” overlay on all these performances). As we know, idol performances and lip-syncing are like sandwiches and bread, almost baked into the definition. Some rules are designed to prevent Fan BingBing-type scandals (such as not adjusting performance contracts after the fact), drugs, drunk driving, as well as maintaining a baseline of patriotism.īut there is also a line directed specifically at idols: No Lip-syncing. In China, there’s a new set of government-issued Celebrity guidelines, regulations that, much like the hip-hop “ban” and the idol “ban” (one of the reasons why the show changed it’s name from ‘Idol Producer’), are meant to curtail what the Chinese government sees as illicit behavior.

So let’s talk for a second about live vocals. Drrchen, who rearranges the song with an alt-rock feel, passionately delivering high notes and giving that troubled alt-boy stare he has built his identity on.Īll three get ‘N’ ranks, Drrchen for being cliche and Dream/SoNeX for being not good. The Spring boys feel the pressure of live singing during their routine, the result being pitchy and inconsistent. Dream/SoNeX go for a Spring boy vibe while Drrchen goes edgier, singing through a megaphone.

what is actually the just thing to be done in these cases).Īnyways, first up in EP2 is Dream (not to be confused with fellow contestant The Dream (not to be confused with R&B artist The-Dream)) plus SoNeX vs Drrchen.

Allegations such as assault, both physical and sexual, are serious and if the show deals with it accordingly good for them, but if not then I suppose we have something to talk about (i.e. I also genuinely apologize if the scandals of individual trainees are triggering, I’m personally trying to not read a lot of the extra content/spoil myself so these thoughts are mostly off-the-cuff and ignorant of whatever rumors are being brought up on the side.Probably did get it mixed up with Liu Jun on a trainee list. I thought I saw that a while ago but no idea where I sourced it from. Aerodynamic trainee Liang Sen is not Malaysian, he’s born in Shandong.Addendum: If you’d like to purchase one (1) article’s worth of my bias in regards to Chinese Reality TV, we can negotiate.
