Hua Chenyu considers himself "the eternal god of the Chinese music scene", is this trying to engage in a "personality cult"?

On the evening of April 9, Hua Chenyu's "2023 Mars Concert" was held in Hangzhou Baima Lake Park. At the scene, a video leaked out of the interaction between him and fans, and between words, he actually considered himself the "god of the Chinese music scene", which made people surprised.

According to the leaked video, Hua Chenyu asked fans: "(I am) what is the Chinese music scene?" ”

Fans shouted in unison: "Eternal God! ”

Hua Chenyu confirmed again: "What forever?" ”

Fans shouted again: "... God! ”

Hua Chenyu laughed proudly, and then asked rhetorically: "How else?" ”

After this video was leaked, it caused a lot of controversy. Some netizens mocked, "No, you are an eternal mage!" ”

"Master" is a mocking name for Hua Chenyu by netizens, because many times, he sings like a "practice scene".

The short video platform circulated many videos of him after removing the accompaniment, with a sharp voice, like a witch roaring, such as the famous "Grandiose" scene, which was named "mage name scene".

However, in response to the statement "eternal God", some fans have clarified that it is just a meme.

In fact, they say, this is a homonym for "the eternal god of the Huayu music scene".

In front of the leaked video, there was also an interaction, and fans shouted: "One son of heaven and one courtier, the eternal god of the Huayu music scene." ”

Then, it was Hua Chenyu who asked "what is the Huayu music scene".

There was even a fan who brought a pennant, which was written on this "couplet", and the title on the pennant was still "Huatian Emperor".

Obviously, this should be the slogan of Hua Chenyu's fans.

Moreover, this is the same reason that Hua Chenyu said that "the surname of the Chinese music scene is Hua" before, which is simply playing terriers.

However, this explanation was not accepted by netizens.

Because, the homophonic terrier itself is quite low-level, and he will be deducted money by Li Sheng on the stage of the "Talk Show Conference".

Moreover, even if it is a homophonic terrier, even if it is a joke, but the words are full of rich "imperial thought", what "Son of Heaven", what "courtier", what is Hua Chenyu's intention?

Want to be the "Son of Heaven"? Want to be an "emperor"? Or do you want to engage in a "cult of personality"?

Although it is only a joke, it is also more advanced, humanistic, and as an idol-type public figure, pay special attention to external influences.

So, honestly, this kind of joke is not enough.

Of course, Hua Chenyu may just want to interact with fans benignly, so he answered the call and enlivened the atmosphere.

However, he did not expect that this kind of joke would promote a bad perception, what would ordinary netizens and passers-by think? Is there a plus for his personal image? It is clearly a big disadvantage.

Then, there is only one explanation - he doesn't care about passers-by, he just wants to encircle and lock his fan base plate, and it is enough to continue to cut leeks.

However, now that the "rice circle" has become a group where everyone shouts and beats, Hua Chenyu wants to fight against the "Qinglang Action" (mainly to rectify the rice circle)? An important measure of the "Clean Up Action" launched by the Cyberspace Administration of China in 2021 is to "crack down on rice circles".

Hua Chenyu not only encourages rice circles, but also engages in a "cult of personality", which is obviously contrary to the call of the Cyberspace Administration of China.

If you can condone fans to make some uneducated jokes, will you also condone them to attack each other, others, or competitors? Why should the "rice circle" be rectified? It's because it's too aggressive, like a cockfight.

Speaking of which, I remember that 35 years ago, the Hong Kong music scene also had "rice circles". Around 1988, Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam fans refused to give in to each other and "fought hard" in order to protect their idols. Leslie Cheung said in public in an interview program: I have already told my fans that peace is precious in everything. If they don't obey, they don't recognize them as their fans.

This clear attitude naturally restrains the aggressiveness of fans.

In a recent example, table tennis player Fan Zhendong issued an article reprimanding the behavior of rice circles, bitterly criticizing: "I have repeatedly called on fans to maintain sanity and boundaries, and boycott rice circles words and deeds. ”

Therefore, in the concert, Hua Chenyu's correct approach should not be to stop this boring and low-level joke, order fans not to talk nonsense, let alone engage in a "personality cult", at least convey a positive interactive atmosphere to the public on the table, rather than inferior content like "one son of heaven and one courtier" full of "black words in the rice circle".

Moreover, this kind of use of the words "god" and "emperor" has a great tendency to slide towards "evil cults."

Shouldn't Hua Chenyu himself be vigilant?

However, the most likely thing is that Hua Chenyu himself does not have any deep ideas at all, and he is also coaxed by fans, after all, he is just a traffic star, and he also fights with "desperate illiteracy".

How many cultures can there be? And how much social responsibility can there be?

Hua Chenyu may not matter at all - as long as he can make money. Do you think, the rice circle is his tool to circle money, can it be done without coaxing?

In this way, there can be no "social responsibility".

Unfortunately, in today's entertainment industry, similar idols abound.

But how far can this go?
