In late October, Chen Yijie, who was making great strides in the mainland's music industry, encountered a very troublesome public opinion crisis! Furthermore, this crisis of public opinion had even led to many disputes between mainland music fans and Hong Kong music fans. There were even small-scale arguments on the internet!
At first, it was just a report that had been brewing for a long time: "Chen Yijie is exposed as arrogant. Does the God of Harbor City think he can act like a big shot in the mainland?"
In this report, the reporter revealed that many mainland singers reacted to Chen Yijie acting like a big shot during the recording of the show. He also cited several examples that were "confirmed" by the TV station staff.
For example, when Chen Yijie participated in the "Music Power Ranking" in Shanghai, Li Manman greeted him in a friendly manner, but he said arrogantly, "Who are you?"
For example, when Chen Yijie recorded a variety show at Xiangnan TV Station, several singers asked him for advice, but he walked away directly and didn't give them a good face.
Even worse, no one knew who bribed a contestant from Chen Yijie's team who had been eliminated in the mentors' assessment battle to complain to the reporter, saying that Chen Yijie was biased and gave him too little guidance, which caused him to lose the competition.
As soon as this news was exposed, it caused an uproar in public opinion.
After all, Chen Yijie was an artist from Harbor City. His entry into the mainland's music industry was a big threat to other singers and music companies in the mainland!
So, they naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury. Even if they didn't let their own artists come forward, they would ask some of their good friends to fabricate some negative material about Chen Yijie, and take the opportunity to "expose" it, thoroughly stirring up this muddy water.
Tianxiang Records didn't have a public relations department. They held a press conference at the first opportunity, and jointly with several TV stations or program groups to clarify to the public. They even announced that they would pursue legal liability for defamation.
This time, the report was indeed splashing dirty water. Chen Yijie's character was still passable. The other contestants in his team even spontaneously clarified for their mentor on Microbroadcasting, and angrily rebuked the contestant who had been eliminated: "Where's your conscience?"
But Tianxiang Records' public relations ability in the mainland was not strong enough. After all, they had officially entered the mainland this year, and many aspects were still in a state of "acclimatization".
While they were still trying to clarify the report, the direction of public opinion had already changed.
This time, it was a lot of record companies in the mainland that added fuel to the fire. They hired a large number of Internet Water Army to guide the netizens on Microbroadcasting to point their swords at the music industry in Harbor City. They ridiculed the music industry in Harbor City, saying that even a famous singer like Chen Yijie came to the mainland to make a living. They also scolded the singers in Harbor City for being too arrogant, saying that they couldn't make a living in their own country, so they came to the mainland to put on airs.
It had to be said that if this public opinion did not involve Chen Yijie, and if it was not too extreme, then it would not be wrong!
After all, many artists from Harbor City were arrogant and even looked down on the artists from the mainland. After all, they had enjoyed the highest honor in the past. In the past, Harbor City's entertainment industry was the most dazzling pearl in Asia!
News of people acting like big shots was not uncommon!
Therefore, after such a trend of public opinion was formed, it was no longer something that Tianxiang Records could reverse. Many netizens were incited by the Internet Water Army and followed the trend to scold Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.
At the same time, the entertainment media in Harbor City was not happy!
Harbor City's music industry, and even the entertainment industry in Harbor City, was not wrong! This was also a fact that they knew in their hearts! But they were not willing to admit it. They could say it in private, but they could not let others say it!
In the end, the public opinion caused a big conflict and scolding war between the mainland and the netizens.
Fortunately, at the national level, they would not allow such a disharmonious situation to continue. In fact, it would even further intensify the conflict. Some relevant departments intervened, and the media first ceased their activities. Then, with the guidance of public opinion on Weibo, the conflict gradually subsided.
However, Chen Yijie was still a little anxious. This public opinion had a great impact on him. First, at the end of October, the sales of his "Ten Years" album decreased greatly. The sales of "Ten Years" and "Red Rose" even fell out of the top 50 of the new best-selling songs chart.
The total sales were still a little short of the standard of a platinum album, but without this, Chen Yijie was destined to not be able to get the honor of a platinum album during the new album's protection period. Moreover, if his image in the mainland continued to deteriorate, he really did not know when he would reach the standard.
Secondly, Chen Yijie was not well-liked in Harbor City's music industry. Originally, when he entered the mainland's Mandarin music industry, Tianxiang Records tried to keep a low profile in Harbor City and almost did not promote this album. After all, Chen Yijie did not release a Cantonese album but a Mandarin album, which would still cause a lot of controversy.
But after this incident, Tianxiang Records could no longer keep a low profile. No matter how big their business was, they could not stop so many Harbor City media from criticizing Chen Yijie.
"Eason, is the mainland's music industry so good? Didn't you say that you love Harbor City and will never leave it? "
"I'm so disappointed. Eason's new album does not have a single Cantonese song. Have you completely abandoned your Harbor City fans?"
There were even some old-school Harbor City artists who denounced Chen Yijie on TV programs, saying that he was a "deserter" who did not consider how to save Harbor City's music industry. He actually took the lead to run away before Harbor City's music industry collapsed …
The building was about to collapse, and everyone was in danger. Choosing to develop in the mainland, Chen Yijie did not do anything wrong!
There were even many Harbor City artists who had the same idea …
Not to mention, they used to be very envious of Chen Yijie for being able to join a popular show like China's The Voice.
But now that Chen Yijie was facing a crisis of public opinion, they would not come out to support Chen Yijie. They would only remain silent and even secretly rejoice.
What was the point of scolding?
After the scolding, would Harbor City's music industry return to its peak? That was impossible. Those who should run would still run away. But with Chen Yijie taking the blame, the amount of scolding they would receive would definitely be much less …
…
In the end, Tianxiang Records and Chen Yijie chose not to respond. They avoided the limelight and waited for the wave of public opinion to subside. Of course, Chen Yijie's work for the next few months still needed to be adjusted. There was no way around the loss of some endorsements.
However, Chen Yijie's nationwide concert tour from January next year did not change the dates. The tickets for the first concert in Beijing were sold out despite the crisis of public opinion.
There were still quite a lot of people who understood the situation!
Even in the mainland, those who scolded Chen Yijie were mostly keyboard warriors online. Chen Yijie did not have many fans! Those fans who liked to listen to Chen Yijie's singing could also understand what kind of person Chen Yijie was!
Not to mention anything else, as long as one seriously watched China's The Voice, they would have seen Chen Yijie's patient comments. Whether it was a singer from his own team, or even a singer who did not get chosen in the blind auditions, Chen Yijie would give his comments and suggestions to help him improve.
The audience even joked that Chen Yijie was an honest and straightforward man! There were some bitter words that others did not like to hear, but he still said them.
Under Chen Yijie's microblog, his fans were also trying their best to explain and clarify the situation to those who came over to watch the show or those who came over to scold him.
This made Chen Yijie very touched.
…
This matter did not seem to have anything to do with Yang Yi. Chen Yijie's Tianxiang Records was bigger than Yang Yi's, so he could not help much.
But using this matter, Lv Yue made a breakthrough discovery!
"Hello, is this President Mo? I'm Xiao Lv. Yes, Zhuo Zai. Let me tell you, I've found the person you asked me to look for! "Lv Yue called Mo Xiaojuan and asked her out for a chat.
