Chapter 402: Behind the Hype
"You're welcome, I just don't want to see you and Aaron being coerced and hurt by your company because of their interests." Qiao Feng smiled and waved his hand, he knew that Leslie Cheung was not grateful for his casual promise to write a song, he was grateful for writing a song for Liu Dehua and letting Liu Dehua intervene in the so-called hegemony between him and Tan Yonglin.
At this time, smart people will never make up for this matter, just like those in later generations who rub the heat on hot events, the general rubbing is just that, but it is really to the attention of the whole people, it is a hot event that is not black and white, and the smart will never come out to rub the hot spot, especially if you stand on the opposite side of the public to rub the hot spot, because then the death will be ugly or life is worse than death.
The same is true in the music world now, after the so-called Tan Zhang hegemony began, fans and fans on both sides did not know how many conflicts broke out, there were war of words, either noisy or scolding, and even physical conflicts, so that it reached a white heat, which is really rare in the world.
I'm really scared.
At the top ten golden songs awards ceremony at the beginning of the year, Leslie Cheung and Tan Yonglin were the favorites for the Best Male Singer and the Golden Melody Award, one was shortlisted for four songs and the other was shortlisted for six songs.
A week before the awards, there were rumors in the market that the awards had been decided, of course, this award was indeed set a long time ago, almost all music awards are like this, the award was set, and then the singer had been told in advance whether you had won the award, how many songs you had won, what awards and so on, so that the singer would determine whether to attend, with what standard to attend, etc.
It is rumored that Tan Yonglin has three songs, Zhang Guorong has a song that won the award, and then Zhang Guorong won the most popular male singer, and Tan Yonglin won the Golden Melody Gold Award.
On the day of the awards, Tan Yonglin did not show up because he went to Australia to perform, according to the convention, if the singer did not show up, there would be no award, and now the major music awards and even performance awards are basically the same.
When it came to Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin's fans scolded endlessly, and the host asked for silence several times to no avail, the voice was Leslie Cheung's fans, the scolding was Tan Yonglin's fans, and of course, there were fans of other singers.
Awarded one song, two songs, and in the second half of the year, Tan Yonglin still didn't win the award, and his fans thought that there would be no award if he didn't show up as rumored, so this time his idol was going to be empty.
With such thoughts, Tan Yonglin's fans became more and more anxious, when Zhou Runfa, who played the True Colors of Heroes 2 last year, took the stage to present Lin Zishen with the image of Little Pony, Tan Yonglin's fans shouted Aaron, and Zhou Yunfa couldn't help but ridicule: "Aaron?
Zhou Yanfa's words made Tan Yonglin's fans even more convinced that their idols did not arrive at the venue and won no award, they were almost about to lose their minds, and no matter who came on stage, they were booed.
The dome of the venue where the awards ceremony was held was about to be lifted off by boos, and at this time, for fear of making a mess, the host Yu Zheng had to announce Tan Yonglin's award in advance, not only that, in order to appease the fans, Yu Zheng took the envelope and went to the place where Tan Yonglin's fans gathered, and found two female fans to announce the awards in person.
The final award Tan Yonglin won the most popular male singer, and Leslie Cheung won the Golden Melody Gold Award, and fans on both sides were not satisfied with such a result, and finally made a mess.
This is not the craziest fans on both sides, the craziest thing is that some people eat in a tea restaurant, this person likes Leslie Cheung, and then heard fans suspected of Tan Yonglin discussing songs, and there are words that ridicule Leslie Cheung, this person directly smashed the rice bowl on the other party's head, and finally hit the police station.
What's more serious is the attack on the two singers by fans, Leslie Cheung taught Leslie Cheung to sing, Cheng Long gave Leslie Cheung a Ferrari, but it was scratched by Tan Yonglin's fans, his mailbox was stuffed with dark coins and abusive letters, and Tan Yonglin's fans hit a big headline "Leslie Cheung died of AIDS" in the mall, how vicious.
Tan Yonglin is not much better, because he often wins awards, so it is rumored everywhere that he buys awards, which is not only fan biography, small gossip, but even newspapers like Ming Pao, which prides themselves on elite high-end culture, write an inside report of Tan Yonglin buying awards with words such as said and rumors.
No one wants to get involved in such a dispute, no one wants to be hated by such a fan, and the fight between the two sides and the attacks can be seen that Zhang Guorong is at a disadvantage, because Tan Yonglin became famous very early, and the earliest band Wen Na Band is one of the three best bands in Hong Kong, at that time Tan Yonglin had become popular as the lead singer, it was in the late sixties and early seventies, and Tan Yonglin was also quite good in the movie, and he also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor in 81, which is much more powerful than Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong and a bunch of other big bulls.
And this year, Tan Yonglin has released two Cantonese albums, which are already his twelfth and thirteenth albums, just look at this number and know how good Tan Yonglin is, the blockbuster movie Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother Tan Yonglin is one of the leading actors.
In terms of acting and singing, Tan Yonglin has a slight advantage, because whether it is from the box office results or awards, Tan Yonglin is higher, especially in the music world, the two major Golden Melody Awards are Tan Yonglin is more dominant.
So, Tan and Zhang, who were hotly hyped, and fans on both sides spat and insulted each other, Zhang Guorong has always been at a disadvantage, although in the later stage of Tan Zhang's hegemony, Zhang Guorong has turned from weak to strong, but at present, Zhang Guorong is a little weaker.
Tan Zhang's hegemony is essentially a battle between the open and secret in the record industry, behind which is the conflict between the interests of the two record companies, and the contradiction deliberately provoked by the record companies, which causes the fans on both sides to attack and oppose each other, so that the two who were originally Lin Zishen, Xu Guanjie, and Chen Baiqiang did not have too much distance between them, and quickly established their position as the first brother and the second brother in the Hong Kong music scene through the fierce confrontation of fans.
It's the record companies behind them that benefit, and it's them and their fans who suffer.
And the most injured of the two is Zhang Guorong.
