The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

It is definitely big news that a Chinese female singer appeared on such a major stage as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to sing the theme song and China is not the host country.

Media from all over the world are asking who these four singers are? Because foreign media really don't know these people from Tara.

Xia Haoyang has formed a girl group in this space and time for six years, but has never been to any award ceremony abroad or held any concerts abroad. Tara's music has never been on the billboards or pop charts in Europe and the United States, and they have even rarely endorsed or come into contact with major European and American luxury brands. To the media around the world, this is an extremely unfamiliar singer group.

Precisely because of their unfamiliarity, the four members of Tara have attracted the interest of media around the world. Media in almost every country are reporting on the story of the girl group Tara, introducing their works, past experiences, and influence in China.

Their source of information is naturally provided by Chinese journalists who are familiar with them.

While foreign journalists, media and fans were curious about the Chinese singer of the Olympic theme song, domestic media and fans were in an uproar.

At first, the Chinese media's reports were relatively normal or positive. They were all curious or surprised that their country's singers were excited and proud to sing the theme song for such a world-class event as the Olympics.

"It is an honor for Chinese music that a Chinese singer sang the theme song for the Qatar Olympics, and it is also proof that Chinese music is going global."

But gradually the attitude of the media and netizens changed. Why Tara? Why did she, as a Chinese singer, sing the theme song for the Olympics? Are there more suitable and representative singers in China to sing the theme song for the opening ceremony of the Olympics? Netizens and the media began to express their opinions.

"What qualifications do Tara have to represent China to sing at the Olympics? Just because they ranked last in the final of the Singer competition? I admit that some of their songs are quite good, but whether it is the popularity or influence of their songs, they are far from the level of the national team. They are not qualified!"

"How can a few young pop singers sing the theme song for the Olympics? Listen to what they are singing, it's shameful! Why did the national team choose them when there are so many top singers? Just because they have fair skin, beautiful faces and long legs? Superficial! Resolutely boycott their music."

"Popular music cannot compare with classical music and folk music in terms of influence or charm. Tara is not the ceiling of Chinese pop music. It is ridiculous to send them to sing the Olympic theme song. The result can only be a laughing stock. People will mistakenly think that China does not have outstanding musicians."

"If we only talk about pop music, Huang is the first choice for high notes, but overall, the most influential and representative one should still be Mr. Han. Mr. Han can best represent the highest level of Chinese pop music, and only this can convince foreigners. Tara and the like are not qualified."

After the initial surprise and surprise, netizens gradually felt that Tara was not qualified, not outstanding enough, and not qualified to represent China to sing the theme song for the Olympics. They then began to discuss among themselves who could represent China at such an event. Netizens were worried that the singers' strength would not be enough to shock the public or be liked by foreign friends astonished.

Looking at the heated discussions among netizens, Xia Haoyang wanted to laugh.

Who stipulated that singing the Olympic theme song must be based on seniority? Although singing the Olympic theme song is an honor, it is just a commercial performance. Why must it be linked to the image of the country? Of course, it cannot be said that there is no connection at all. Is it so serious? Is it so serious that one must be based on identity, seniority, and pomp when singing a song?

Are you still worried that you will be looked down upon by foreign friends because you cannot deter the scoundrels? I can only say that you think too much. Most foreign friends don’t care who sings the theme song at all, and they will not elevate singing an Olympic theme song to the national level.

It was originally a happy or proud thing for Tara to sing the Olympic theme song, but it gradually changed its tone in the discussions among netizens, with some netizens even demanding that Tara be banned as a warning to others!

This kind of bizarre train of thought left the people in Xia Haoyang's studio baffled. How could something that clearly brought honor to Chinese musicians become a public enemy to the point of being banned?

Some more curious netizens said that this was a conspiracy or a deal, and that the richest man, Xia Haoyang, used his financial power to settle with the Qatari royal family in exchange for the four members of Tara to sing the theme song; of course, some fans speculated that the royal family of that country deliberately invited Chinese singers to sing the theme song in order to please a certain Eastern power.

Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors on the Internet, and all kinds of bizarre and incredible views emerge in an endless stream. Fat Cat Studio has not responded to any of the rumors on the Internet, but when faced with the CCTV reporter's interview, Xia Haoyang did not refuse as he would if he were interviewed himself, but instead asked the four members of Tara to accept an interview on CCTV's special program to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

"Face to Face" is a long-form interview program on the news channel of China Central Television. The program adheres to the demands of newsworthiness, authority, attention and influence, face-to-face communication, heart-to-heart communication, using dialogue to record history and interpreting news with characters. The program is broadcast on the news channel of CCTV every Sunday at 21:30.

No one would refuse an invitation to a nationally-recognized interview program like this.

Less than three days after returning to Yancheng from Qatar after attending the opening ceremony, Tara and her three friends arrived at the "Big Pants" - the CCTV headquarters building located in Yancheng's Chaoyang District.

The four of them also accepted this interview with trepidation. Generally, whether it is a variety show or a talk show, there is basically a script before the interview, which will roughly tell you what questions to ask, so you can prepare in advance. However, CCTV's "Face to Face" interview did not have these routines. It just roughly described the direction of the interview and did not list specific questions and clauses.

Accompanied by their agent Xiao Liu, the four of them came to the dressing room of the CCTV building and put on simple makeup for their appearance. CCTV programs do not allow interviews with their own makeup artists or to do their own makeup. They have strict regulations and requirements for makeup and clothing.

However, since their debut, the four members of Tara have been accustomed to accepting makeup services from the organizers. Xia Haoyang's studio does not have professional makeup artists and stylists. When there is an event that does not provide makeup artists, either Teacher Pei does the makeup for everyone, or Qin Jiali does the makeup for the sisters, or sometimes they just do it themselves.

This may also be the reason why Quan Wenxin planned to learn makeup after leaving the team.
