The beginning and end of Li Min's "good voice" incident: the contestants are silent with excitement, and the arrogant Canxing ignores the anger of the crowd?
Singer Li Min died at home on July 5 this year at the age of 48.
On August 1, Li Min's funeral ceremony was held at the Hong Kong funeral home, and his former friends were present to see him off, fans said goodbye in tears, and the deceased died in a fragrant manner.
Originally thought that with Li Min's entry into the soil for safety, all the turmoil had subsided. Unexpectedly, a recording before her death set off a storm in domestic entertainment.
In the 9-minute recording, Li Min became emotional, choking up and accusing of being treated unfairly by The Voice program group.
Subsequently, the contestants came forward to support and restored the truth of the program recording with recordings, screenshots and long texts, but except for a few iron heads, all the domestic entertainment stars were silent and watched coldly.
In the face of the enthusiasm and enthusiastic condemnation of netizens, Zhejiang Radio and Television's announcement failed to quell the anger of the public. And the real party "Canxing Production" still chooses to be silent so far, proudly facing the doubts of netizens and the uncovered variety show chaos.
01. The recording accused the competition of shady, and the brutal program team could not be blamed
On August 17, Li Min's recording was released in several parts, with a total length of about 9 minutes. The whole content is nearly 2,000 words, let's take a look at a few important paragraphs first.
Despite being emotional, despite suffering from a terminal illness and enduring severe physical pain, Li Min fully demonstrated the demeanor of an excellent star, and justifiably accused The Voice of all kinds of evil deeds, mainly focusing on the following points:
A. Fabricating an unfair competition format and arranging players to stay at will;
B. Deceive the instructor and the contestant and change the recording arrangement without authorization;
C. Pulling and scolding Li Min, maliciously suppressing and bullying Li Min, and paying no attention to his illness and emotions;
D. Threatening Li Min to release a reconciliation video and threatening all players to silence them.
As soon as the recording came out, the whole network was in an uproar, it turned out that the celebrities' words about the good voice before were by no means empty;
It turned out that Li Min's "good voice" that leaked out last September was a rage on the spot, which was not a misunderstanding and deliberate editing at all, but a real conflict.
Organizing water army, controlling public opinion, and withdrawing hot searches, these are all the usual routines of internal entertainment, and the good voice program group did not take it seriously at the beginning, and it is estimated that the ordinary means will be another wave, and the limelight will be avoided.
As a result, seeing that the netizens' emotions became more and more excited, they weighed it up and issued a fluttering statement.
It's all empty clichés, false and perfunctory, a document, a few words, even the official seal is too lazy to cover one. An arrogant attitude jumps on paper.
The program team thought to themselves, I am an ace program that has dominated the screen for more than ten years, an important source of income generated by TV stations every year, a dead singer, a few broken recordings, and the voice of a group of netizens, what can I do?
For a time, netizens questioned the confrontation with the program group, and there was a stalemate, until the contestants were angry and appeared one after another to reveal the truth.
02. The contestants spoke passionately, and the stars watched coldly
A notice tried to calm the incident, but it was clear that the whistleblower also had a remedy.
Shortly after the announcement, the live video footage of Li Min's dispute with the program team was exposed, once again confirming some of the details in Li Min's complaint.
Subsequently, Li Min's sister issued an article confirming the authenticity of the audio and video recordings. The program group began to work on the poster and text, and directly deleted Li Min on the poster.
People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless? The contestants who had crossed paths with Li Min and felt her kind and warm side couldn't sit still, and came forward to retell the scene of the conflict and restore the truth of the incident.
Shortly after the recording was released, The Voice student Li Jiajie took the lead in jumping out to support Li Min, accusing the program team of the promotion insider and unbearable means. But soon under pressure to delete Weibo, he posted a public apology, but hinted at his pressure with "I didn't delete it, I didn't delete it".
Shortly thereafter, Zhou Feige and Wang Zepeng successively came forward to release long articles, accompanied by chat records and voice videos with Li Min, like puzzles, continuing to piece together Li Min's accusations bit by bit.
Among them, Zhou Feige described the day's game in concise words, and his tone was low and sentimental, more like he was nostalgic for getting along with Li Min, and did not want to be more involved in this matter.
Wang Zepeng directly disclosed the chat record with Li Min, including a 17-minute chat recording video.
This video not only confirms the truth of the existence of false mentors and creating enthusiasm in the talent variety show, but also confirms the work state of Li Min who endured illness on the spot, and the fact that the program team treated Li Min badly, ignored Li Min's pain, and even fell to the ground and continued to record.
In order to ensure the smooth recording of the program and the effect of the program, it is understandable to create some suspense. However, according to Wang Zepeng's video text, these conflicts have far exceeded the program effect itself, and have become a dispute between the program producer and the mentor artist.
Unlike the contestants, a large number of stars in the circle have selectively ignored this incident, kept a cold sideline, did not dare to offend the program group and the capital behind it, and were afraid of cutting off their own back.
Of course, there are also well-known figures who come forward to express their views, Papi sauce, Zhang Lunshuo, Cheng Qingsong, and even Pang Mailang, I don't say what kind of coffee position.
More of the star artists involved, including the mentors who recorded the show at the same time as Li Min, were all silent, not knowing what kind of pressure they were facing.
Finally, in the past two days, Han Hong and Jin Xing, who are outspoken and responsible for internal entertainment, spoke out one after another, finally saving a little face for the stars of internal entertainment.
Venus is a simple sentence, accompanied by heartwarming pictures.
Of course, all this is not without a trace, and from a series of intriguing responses and operations from the broadcaster and producer of the program, we can see many unspeakable hidden things behind the incident.
03. Concisely responding to the "big and big", the core role has not yet expressed its position
Up to now, in addition to the simple announcement of the previous The Voice program group, Zhejiang Radio and Television has also come forward to explain the incident.
A simple explanation is needed. Zhejiang Radio and Television Group is the competent authority of Lantai, but The Voice Program is a program produced by Canxing Company. Canxing buys the rights from abroad, produces talent shows, and sells them to TV stations and video platforms to make a profit.
This is a reasonable business chain. It's just that from the truth of the various conflicts and program operations that have broken out so far, more doubts point to the program producer Canxing Company.

Of course, there are more puzzling news outflowing. The suspected screenwriter of the show appeared and made an extremely cold and arrogant reply.
The identity of the above message has yet to be confirmed.
However, according to the current video graphics and texts appearing on the Internet, in addition to selling programs as a way to make money, the production has been popular at home and abroad for more than ten years, and has even become a top program in Southeast Asia and other countries with the active participation of singers, the commercial chain of The Voice program has long been extended to the front-end talent training, audition advertising, the title advertisement of the program itself, traffic operation, and the concert after the program, artist agent and so on.
The involvement of the whole performing arts industry chain and the value blessing of huge traffic have given The Voice program group itself an extremely heavy voice. Whether it is the training of the participants at the front-end, the advertising bargaining power of the program itself, and the brokerage contract after participating in the program, concert profits, etc., The Voice Program and the Canxing Production Company behind it have long had a decisive influence in the entertainment circle.
Under such a realistic situation, The Voice program team and Canxing Production should first have a clear and objective event restoration and public attitude.
On top of this, how to effectively control the dark box operation and interest exchange of the entertainment industry, clarify the relationship between program effects and transparent operations, clarify the responsibilities and rights between TV stations, production companies and artists, and truly make domestic entertainment no longer fools, this is not only the focus of the work of the cultural authorities, but also the proposition that every performing arts practitioner needs to think about.
In the next article, we will talk about how to deconstruct this incident and clarify the context of disputes and the pattern of interests. Welcome to follow.
