Chapter 809: The Mentor's Self-Cultivation

Pu Tong agreed to the invitation of the program team and prepared to be a mentor at the finals of "Masked Singer"...

Then a new question came.

How to be a mentor of the program?

For a variety show, the position of mentor is always a bit awkward. If it is too dazzling, it will steal the limelight of the contestants; if it is too boring, it will not attract more attention to the program mainly for amateurs; if the aura is not suitable, no matter how strong the professional ability is, it cannot shut everyone up.

Especially for music variety shows like "Masked Singer", if you want to be a mentor to guide the students, your own musical ability must be strong.

Why do music programs have to invite mentors?

To increase the authority of this program, the program team invites music critics to play the role of judges, so that ordinary audiences feel that the program is more formal.

Laymen can only hear whether it is good or not. As for what is good about this song and what are the shortcomings of the singer, it still needs professionals to appreciate it.

Mentors can also guide the audience from different angles. If the contestants perform poorly or in general, mentors can guide the audience to discover other advantages of the guests from other angles.

Just like the "ghost song" sung by Lin Yuran in the first episode of the show, it sounds eerie and scary to the audience, but to the professional mentors, the stage performance of this song is too good.

If it weren't for several mentors who saw her talent and said a lot of good things for her, Lin Yuran might have been eliminated in the first episode...

In fact, looking at the music and selection variety shows that have a good reputation and popularity in the market in recent years, you will find that the selection of mentors for each show follows a certain "routine", which basically covers the following three roles: respected predecessors, traffic that drives topics, and representatives in the professional field.

The three mentors of "Masked Singer" now just cover these three routines. Du Ziyue, the King of Du, is undoubtedly the respected predecessor.

So what will Pu Tong's arrival bring to this show?

Although Pu Tong is not a predecessor in the Chinese music scene, his achievements are higher than those of his predecessors. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a senior among seniors.

It is not an exaggeration to call him a respected predecessor. There is really no one else who can hit the international stage with a song except him.

As for the traffic, there is no need to consider it at all. In the past year, there is no one on the Internet who is more popular than Pu Tong. If he says that he is the top star, no one will dare to refute him.

If Pu Tong can get on the stage of the finals of "Masked Singer", and he is still a mentor, the influence and popularity he brings will definitely be explosive, and it is possible to double the ratings of the program.

After all, he has dominated the Spring Festival Gala. It is not difficult for a small variety show to attract hundreds of responses.

The last point is the representative of the professional field.

Is Pu Tong professional?

If someone asks this question in public, he will definitely be asked back by others. If Pu Tong is not professional, then who is professional?

Since "My Deskmate", Pu Tong has produced so many high-quality music, not only with diverse content and style, but also thought-provoking meaning and depth of the songs.

As a music creator, if he can't be called professional with dozens of representative works, then who else is professional?

It is no exaggeration to say that every singer in the music industry wants to get a song from Pu Tong and have him on the stage of the finals as a mentor. The other contestants in the finals are all submissive to him, and the other three mentors dare not neglect him.

Pu Tong is not a single influence as a mentor of the program, but all three conditions, and he can meet all of them!

I can only say that Pu Tong is the right person to be invited!

That being said, Pu Tong, who is a mentor of a music program for the first time, is under a lot of pressure. As a mentor, he must provide certain suggestions to the students.

In the eyes of many people, the mentors of music programs only need to sit there and make sharp comments, bragging when they win and scolding when they lose, which is completely a filler, but in fact, being a mentor is not an easy job.

As a mentor, you need to give some advice to the contestants, not only the music itself, but also some in-depth improvement of musical literacy and musical aesthetics.

Many music mentors will even share a lot of their own experiences in the entertainment industry to help contestants make better choices. In the final analysis, the purpose of the mentor's existence is to help contestants become better.

A qualified mentor needs to be able to really teach the contestants something, not only to point out the shortcomings, but also to give suggestions, which is not something that any teacher can do.

Of course, these are just the basics.

To truly become an excellent mentor, you also need to have your own characteristics.

Just like Du Tianwang's characteristic is the dimensionality reduction attack in the field of experience, the characteristic of a music critic is to analyze the music itself.

If Pu Tong wants to teach well, he must have his own characteristics...

"You say, how can I be a mentor to have my own characteristics?"

During the break, Pu Tong asked his friends his soul question. If he became a mentor and always followed the others, it would be a bit unnecessary.

Since you are going, take it seriously!

Yu Wanwan and Lin Yuxi looked at each other. They had no experience as mentors, so naturally they couldn't say anything.

Putting aside the facts, does Pu Tong have no problems at all?

How can a mentor be a mentor at the age of 17? The mentor is younger than the contestants on the field, but his qualifications and status are so high that it is really rare.

Pu Tong is such a special guy, there is no reference for him in the circle, so how can we make suggestions?

Compared to how Pu Tong can be a good mentor, the two of them are more interested in the attitude of the contestants... After seeing Pu Tong, do the contestants have to call him Teacher Pu all the time?

You know, several contestants in the "Masked Singer" program are old, and it's interesting to think about calling a 17-year-old young man in public.

"I know what your characteristics are." Iori Yukino on the side seemed to have something to say, "You can write songs, let me give you an idea."

"When each contestant sings a song, you can directly say that this song is not a good choice, and then go on stage to sing a song with a similar style to beat it."

"There are five contestants in the finals, you just chase them and sing five new songs, and beat them up point by point... This should be a feature!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it. This is more than a feature, this is simply against the sky!

This guy is just a direct challenge, one against five in the finals, just act like a human being.

"You are really bold. First of all, Pu Tong can't do such a thing. Secondly, based on the songs of other contestants, he came up with a new song of the same style. Do you think Pu Tong's songs are wholesale?"

Even if he can write songs, and he came up with new songs based on other contestants' songs, wouldn't that be on-the-spot creation? Writing five songs on the spot is really against the sky!

Pu Tong rolled her eyes. It was really difficult for her to let the Sakura girl make suggestions...

Although, she can do it.
