preface
After the epidemic ended this year and the economy picked up, many singers have successively held concerts, including Yang Kun, Wang Feng and Na Ying, who are veterans of the music industry.
However, when I should have been happy with my fans, there were frequent accidents, and the concert not only had low attendance, but even no one bought tickets directly.
And all this is because of Dao Lang's song "Rakshasa Sea Market", even if Dao Lang did not attack Na Ying and the three through the song, he could not stand the righteous indignation and sharp speech of netizens, and they all held grievances for Dao Lang.
The "farce" of the concert
On August 3, 2023, Wang Feng's concert will start in Hohhot. At the beginning, the fans were very enthusiastic, singing along with Wang Feng's rough voice, and throwing up the shiny glow stick, which was very peaceful and warm.
However, at halftime, the audience in the venue, who was obviously harmonious just now, suddenly shouted loudly "Dao Lang" and "Rakshasa Sea Market".
A sound reverberated throughout the venue, which inevitably made Wang Feng a little embarrassed, and he could only be silent. Wang Feng finished singing the song according to the process, far from the enthusiastic interaction with the audience before, and finally ended the chaotic concert.
Afterwards, a relevant audience said that in addition to the "Dao Lang Storm", Wang Feng's concert was not full, and many seats in the venue were empty. Even near the end, in order to have a good attendance, the organizer invited a group of spectators to listen to the song for free.
And this is not the case only in this concert, as early as the first stop Luoyang, Wang Feng's concert attendance was not high, and it is obvious that there are only sparse audiences in many areas.
Presumably, everyone was influenced by the song "Rakshasa Sea City", and they were resentful of Wang Feng and supported Dao Lang.
Although Wang Feng personally issued a video statement afterwards, saying that he had not denied Dao Lang's artistic creation, nor did he look down on Dao Lang. But netizens did not buy it and continued to storm the comment area of Wang Feng's social platform, asking him to formally apologize to Dao Lang.
Coincidentally, Yang Kun's concert was also held in Macao on August 16, 2023. Just like what happened to Wang Feng, Yang Kun finished the song, and the audience shouted in unison, "Refund ticket!" Return a ticket! ”
Facing the chaotic audience, Yang Kun, who was singing vigorously, saw this scene, and he was immediately at a loss, and his mood was also low. Afterwards, Yang Kun and the organizers tried their best to calm the audience's emotions and said that they would bring a better concert experience to the audience.
There are not only public opinions on the Internet denouncing Yang Kun Wang Feng, but also some people say that since they don't want to listen to the song, then it's okay not to go to this concert, why embarrass people so much. "Spend a hundred and ten yuan to uphold justice," one netizen replied.
Na Ying is caught in a double turmoil
Na Ying, another protagonist of the public opinion center of "Rakshasa Sea Market", her concert is still in the preparation period, but she has encountered a more embarrassing problem than the first two - not many people buy her tickets!
Na Ying's concert is scheduled to be held in Macau, the venue is huge, including six districts, and poster banners have been ordered, which shows that she has put a lot of effort into this.
Generally speaking, as long as the celebrity's concert opens for ticket sales, it must not be a second, especially Na Ying, who has debuted for decades, won awards and fans love the big sister in the music industry.
However, after the ticket grabbing channel was opened, no one cared. In the end, perhaps due to the pressure of public opinion and the unoptimistic situation of ticket sales, the organizers canceled the concert on the pretext of Na Ying's physical health problems.
No one grabbed Na Ying's concert tickets, on the one hand, because Na Ying's concert tickets were much higher than other singers, others were about two thousand and she wanted more than five thousand, which discouraged many ordinary fans.
On the other hand, the reason for the failure of the concert is the same as that of Wang Feng and Yang Kun, and the Dao Lang incident has caused the anger of the audience, so this concert is not to go!
At first, Na Ying was not optimistic about Dao Lang's songs, and then public opinion fermented, and he has been deeply scolded for more than ten years. At this juncture of "Rakshasa Sea City", "The Voice" broke out the Li Min incident again.
On August 17, Li Min accused "The Voice" of violence and insults against himself for 9 minutes, and a tearful audio completely exploded the anger of netizens.
Although Na Ying did not participate in the same issue as Li Min, Na Ying can be regarded as a regular guest of "The Voice". Of course, this statement is also too weak.
Na Ying's sister Na Xin is the founder of "The Voice", and Na Ying's team members have won many "The Voice" championships in succession.
Everyone has always believed that Na Ying participated in this "show" of the good voice, even if she is not the mastermind behind the violent treatment of Li Min, but she must have a different role in it.
"The Voice" has shady scenes and atrocities against mentors and trainees, and netizens unanimously classify Na Ying as a bad guy.
Na Ying has a big grin, many times speaks boldly, her teacher also said that she has "a dog brain", which makes her own reputation not very good, and now add Dao Lang and the good voice incident, netizens boycott Na Ying. Na Ying's concert ticket sales are also excusable.
What is more worrying is that Na Ying's concert is a temporary cancellation, and many fans who love her have booked hotels and transportation, and such a rash cancellation has caused netizens to lose a lot.
There are also countless fans under the Naying social platform who angrily denounced her behavior and bluntly said that she lost her powder.
The cancellation of this concert was due to Na Ying's physical condition is not optimistic, but the next day a fan met Na Ying, who was out playing, and she was in good spirits and could not see signs of birth illness.
Netizens speculated whether Na Ying canceled the concert for fear of encountering a ticket refund storm on the spot, or being abused by the audience.
And what did the three of Na Ying do to Dao Lang to trigger the anger of the audience and netizens, making them make a face-saving behavior at the concert.
"The Four Evil Men"
With his gritty voice and catchy songs, Dao Lang suddenly exploded, transforming from obscurity to a well-known singer, setting many achievements.
However, after the fire, Dao Lang was inexplicably silent for a long time, and now he has returned strongly with a song "Rakshasa Sea Market", which has exploded the song industry with a weird style.
Dao Lang has written many popular songs, such as "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", "The First Snow in 2002", "Lover" and so on. The First Snow of 2002 sold 2.75 million copies a year.
Maybe listening to this number alone does not feel alive, but compared with the hot singing stars at that time, Liu Huan and Andy Lau are only 300,000 copies, and even Jay Chou, who is popular in Asia, is not comparable, and no one has broken the miracle of Dao Lang's album sales since then.
Dao Lang was successfully selected as one of the "Top Ten Influential Singers in the Mainland" with his superior singing voice and excellent record sales. However, Na Ying, as a judge, strongly opposed Dao Lang's selection.
"The first important thing is musicality, the second is contribution, and sales are not the main indicators of impact." This is what Na Ying said at the press conference, and then denied Dao Lang's qualifications for selection with a sentence that did not have an "aesthetic point of view".
At that time, Na Ying's song style was mostly literary and subtle, expressing emotions implicitly with affectionate words.
On the other hand, Dao Lang, because he grew up in the west, his words are bold, his words are full of love words, and because of his rough voice, he is generally considered a popular song.
The style of the two is indeed not in tune, and Na Ying is understandable for not liking Dao Langde's songs.
But Na Ying's evaluation of Dao Lang's songs inevitably triggered discussion among netizens, and public opinion gradually changed from "Dao Lang's songs are only listened to by farmers" to "Na Ying looks down on farmers".
At that time, there was a condemnation of Na Ying on the Internet, but the matter was clarified by the two parties in vague language.
If Na Ying still judges Dao Lang according to all aspects of the song, then the words of Yang Kun and others are more direct to deny Dao Lang.
Yang Kun commented that Dao Lang's voice was like a duck, and the bar flavor of the song was too strong to be called a song. Wang Feng said that the pursuit of Dao Lang is the sadness of the entire music scene.
And another Gao Xiaosong said bluntly that if someone gave him Dao Lang's record, he would throw it directly into the trash.
Because of the words of these four people, the Internet at that time evaluated them as the "four evil people of the rivers and lakes".
Dao Lang's strength is obvious to all, and music bigwigs such as Alan Tam and Li Zongsheng have praised Dao Lang's talent.
Compared with the contempt of Wang Feng and others, it is normal for netizens to feel angry with them, after all, no one wants to see talented people buried.
The true meaning of "Rakshasa Sea City"
"Rakshasa Sea City" was called by netizens as the "revenge song" of Dao Lang's return, and the lyrics in the song were also carefully analyzed by netizens, and came to the conclusion that Dao Lang was using this song to accuse Na Ying, Yang Kun and others of insulting and contempt for themselves before.
"Mahu loves to listen to that bird", "Both ears are still on the shoulders, but there are three nostrils", "Before speaking, turn the stomach" and so on, these lyrics in "Rakshasa Sea City" were taken by netizens to sit with Na Ying, Wang Feng and others.
"Mahu" together is a donkey, alluding to the long-faced Yang Kun. Na You Bird refers more directly to "Na Ying", and Wang Feng once turned around without listening to the contestant sing on the good voice.
All this made netizens more convinced that Dao Lang's sarcasm and anger were all hidden in the song. Some netizens even went directly to Na Ying, Yang Kun and others' social platforms to leave messages, bluntly demanding that they apologize to Dao Lang.
For more and more outrageous speculation, the official direct explanation of "Rakshasa Sea City". "Rakshasa Sea Market" is based on the chapter of "Rakshasa Sea City" in Liaozhai Yizhi, and tells the story of a beautiful horse who enters the Rakshasa kingdom where ugliness is beautiful.
The people of the Rakshasa Kingdom are strange but complacent and occupy high positions, and the more they look like people, the more they are at the bottom of society. This is not only a fantasy of anecdotes, but also a metaphor and irony for society.
Dao Lang's lyrics are all from the original content, and there is really no irony of Na Ying and others. However, when Dao Lang was very popular at the beginning, he suddenly retreated, so it is understandable that netizens blamed Na Ying and others for the reason why Dao Lang withdrew from the circle.
epilogue
Dao Lang once mentioned in a show that the reason for fading out of the music scene was that he did not want to fall into the dispute of public opinion, and the excessive attention of many people at that time had put him in a bottleneck period of creation, and he needed a quiet environment to create songs.
Now the explosion of "Rakshasa Sea City" is the best affirmation of his talent and ability, and the attention to the song itself is the most important, as for the derivation outside the lyrics, such as the excessive speculation of public opinion on the lyrics and malice towards other singers is unnecessary.
Of course, in the face of the slander and contempt of the past, it is also necessary to maintain a serious attitude.
But for now, let's listen to the song and wait for Dao Lang's next work.
