Fierce (Jak zostac gwiazda) กู่ร้องให้ก้องรัก (2020) [ บรรยายไทย ]

The Gist: Music Race is the biggest thing going on Polish television. The Idol-style competitive reality show features as poobah of its judges’ table Olo (Maciej Zakoscielny), a smarmy rocker who’s still coasting on his radio hits from two decades ago. He’s jaded and bored, and gets his kicks from unleashing a reverse dunk tank of water on the heads of competitors he deems unfit for the show’s next round. Olo’s livid when Music Race‘s producer orchestrates a round of auditions to be held in Rozalin, the hometown he left behind, because a quiet, provincial life isn’t the only thing he walked out on when fame came calling. Marta Ostowiscz, 18, lives with her mother and grandmother in Rozalin, and she sees the local auditions as a chance to give her deadbeat dad what for. In fully-flanneled Grunge Teen chic, she sneaks into the audition, cuts in line, and gets to the mic. “Jerk! Pig! Clown!” she rants at Olo. “You’re the washout!” And she throws a glass of water in his face. “Are you getting this?” The producer gleefully asks his control room. Because he’s just uncovered ratings gold.

As it turns out, Marta, or “Ostra,” can really sing. (Fierce features Katarzyna Sawczuk as Marta, who first made her bones on IRL singing competitions like Mam Talent! and The Voice of Poland before transitioning into acting.) And while her wise hippie grandmother encourages her to compete on Music Race because she’s talented, Marta has a different take. “I’ll stay and win, just to spite him!” She does win, and viewers are smitten. Marta’s an overnight sensation and blowing up all over social media, even as Olo feels his celebrity slipping into oblivion.

As the trappings of sudden fame begin to overtake Marta’s sensibilities, Olo can’t decide if he wants to sabotage her winning streak or try to reconcile with her and her mother. Music Race‘s producer, meanwhile, has one last ratings gambit up his sleeve. “Singing — he seems to spit the word out — “is not gonna get us ratings!” says the boss of a show about competitive singing. He knows what the people really want.
