preface
Dao Lang, a grassroots singer who was loved by the public at the time, recently released a song "Rakshasa Sea Market", which scolded the "bandits" in the entertainment industry who suppressed him in the past, causing a sensation. The infringement case of his friend Zhuoma for many years has finally settled, and the relationship between the two has been broken.
At the same time, netizens are still calling on senior Tian Zhen to cover this song, causing a blow to the "queen of the song" Na Ying. Several seemingly unrelated things connect the unknown stories of the entertainment industry.
First, Dao Lang's new song angrily denounced the "bandit in the song world" and was speculated to point to the "queen of song" Na Ying
Dao Lang, this name may not be familiar to many people anymore. He is a rising folk singer in the 90s of the last century, and he was once popular because of his simple and moving singing. However, the good times did not last long, and after the establishment of the "new order" in the music scene, Dao Lang gradually faded out of sight, repeatedly hitting a wall over the years, and finally gained a place in the music scene.
Unexpectedly, Dao Lang, who is no longer a newcomer in the entertainment industry, recently suddenly released a jaw-dropping song - "Rakshasa Sea Market".
"Before I say anything, I turn my stomach first, lurking in my fan pile." "Pretending to be honest is the most cunning, and the psychology of revenge is the most terrifying." The lyrics are spicy and ironic, directly pointing to the "bandits in the music industry" who have suppressed themselves behind the scenes.
After decades in the music scene, Dao Lang is no longer the simple and romantic young singer he was back then. The years of ruthless suppression and company bondage made him see clearly the cruelty and darkness of this circle. Ambition and hypocrisy are everywhere, and few people are truly loyal to music.
So when he finally got back into the spotlight, the anger that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time poured out and turned into this straightforward song. There are no euphemistic and vague metaphors, only-for-tat irony - he wants these "bandits" who have stepped on his head to taste the bitter fruits of being unjustified.
For a while, speculation about who was a "bandit in the music world" flooded the Internet. Due to the appearance of the words "Na and Bird" in the lyrics, many people targeted Na Ying. Indeed, it is no secret that this female singer, known as the "queen of songs", looks down on Dao Lang with a high profile. On many public occasions, she showed disdain for Dao Lang's works, and even broke out the argument that "only farmers listen to his songs".
For a Dao Lang who pays attention to the universality of the public, this is undoubtedly a complete denial of his musical value. He has always believed that good music should be appreciated by more people, not labeled as class. Na Ying's mockery of the audience hit his weakness, and the damage it caused was not small.
Therefore, as soon as this song was published, public opinion immediately surged and condemned Na Ying one sidedly. Her social account was instantly swiped, all of which were negative remarks.
However, just when public opinion was at an all-time high, a short message was dumb - Na Ying only asked "how to block comments" on social media, and stopped the topic.
A seemingly bland sentence revealed Na Ying's state of mind at this time. She probably didn't expect that she would actually become the target of everyone. As a "fast-food" star in the entertainment industry, Na Ying has always only focused on the heat and exposure in front of him.
She was completely unaware that what she had done in the past had accumulated a lot of negative effects. And once someone comes forward to expose the truth, her fragile personal image can no longer be supported.
For a while, no one knew who Dao Lang's lyrics were referring to, and this war of words against the "queen of songs" gradually subsided. But what is certain is that this song has exposed the hypocrisy and ugliness of some people. It will not be the end, just the beginning.
In fact, before Dao Lang wrote this song angrily denouncing "bandits in the music world", there was already an irreconcilable contradiction between him and his friend Zhuoma. This song not only vents Dao Lang's anger over the years, but also a true portrayal of his inner world.
Second, friends for many years turned against each other and the dust of the infringement case of Zhuoma was settled
Dao Lang and Tibetan singer Xie Yang Dolma can be said to be a pair of confidants who play well in the entertainment industry.
As early as more than ten years ago, when Zhuoma was still in the music scene, the two became friends because of their musical fit. Dao Lang not only gave many of his classic songs to each other to cover, but also fully supported the development of Zhuoma in the music industry.
It was thanks to Dao Lang's help that Zhuoma was able to quickly become famous and red in half the sky. Her popularity even surpassed that of the original singing knife for a while.
That alone is not enough to turn them back. After all, Dao Lang is the kind of person who is very happy to share, and he will be sincerely pleased to see his friend succeed.
However, at the peak, Zhuoma chose to set the two's collaborative song "West Sea Love Song" for a fee download, which is undoubtedly a betrayal and infringement in Dao Lang's view.
A classic that was originally shared for free was demoted to Dolma without authorization. As a creator, Dao Lang naturally can't bear the exploitation of the fruits of his labor. But more importantly, the song has a special meaning for him.
It is a work created by him in Tibet, which perfectly combines the magnificent scenery of Tibetan areas with the spirit of great love. It should belong to a public welfare work that more people can appreciate, but it has become someone's pocket. This undoubtedly touched Dao Lang's bottom line.
In 2015, Dao Lang, who couldn't bear it, finally took Zhuoma to court. After the trial, the court ruled that Zhuoma and the event organizer jointly infringed and needed to compensate Dao Lang 70,000 yuan.
This is undoubtedly the result of ending the friendship between the two. Descending from their own personal interests, Dolma eventually paid the price of ignoring law and ethics. She probably didn't expect that her momentary greed would break this precious friendship.
For Dao Lang, this was not only an action to defend his rights, but also made him see the darkness and sinister of this circle, which prompted him to write the song "Rakshasa Sea Market". He finally realized that there were never any eternal friends in this circle, only eternal interests.
After the end of the song, the former confidant has no possibility of intersecting in this life and this life. But Dao Lang at least regained his original intention and freedom to be an independent musician.
Third, netizens called on Tian Zhen to cover a new song, Na Ying was "beaten by a group"
If Dao Lang's new song exposes the ugliness of the entertainment industry to the sun, then a new "proposal" from netizens directly points through the hypocrisy of some people.
When "Rakshasa Sea Market" became popular, some netizens actually left messages under the social account of singer Tian Zhen, hoping that this senior in the music industry could cover this song and give the "queen" Na Ying a dismount.
As soon as the idea came out, it immediately gained widespread support. Because in the eyes of many people, Tian Zhen is Na Ying's "nemesis".
In fact, these two singers do have a lot of festivals. In 2001, they were also shortlisted for the most popular female singers in the mainland. According to the number of votes, the award, which originally belonged to Tian Zhen, was finally won by Na Ying.
This made Tian Zhen question the results in public at the award ceremony, and said that he would not receive this "internal award". Embarrassingly, Na Ying has already taken the stage with the trophy in hand.
Since then, the relationship between the two has been broken. Na Ying continued to soar in the music industry, but Tian Zhen encountered a bottleneck in his career and was reported to be "banned", and only faded out of the entertainment industry many years later on the grounds of good health.
For the netizen's proposal, Tian Zhen's reaction was unexpectedly calm. After all, more than twenty years have passed since the award event that year, and she has already seen it, and there is no need to live with newcomers.
But Na Ying does not seem to be aware of the crisis of public opinion she is facing. The flashpoint of this incident was originally Dao Lang's new song, and she was only an innocent person who was swayed by Splash. But once Tian Zhen covers this song, the nature of things will change qualitatively - the original attack on the entertainment industry will be concretized into a personal blow to her.
To this end, Na Ying's fans also actively stood up for the idol, calling on everyone not to point the finger at a "successful person". However, in this era of "down with the capitalists", success often means original sin. If Na Ying wants to clear this charge, I am afraid it is already difficult.
Now, Tian Zhen has withdrawn from the entertainment industry for a long time and has not responded to the suggestions of netizens. But this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for "bringing down Na Ying" - public opinion continued to ferment, and for a while "song queen" became the bullseye of public criticism.
In fact, Tian Zhen and Na Ying were just companions back then, and they had a disagreement for a trophy. And now, Na Ying is not the innocent victim of Dao Lang's new song.
These stars have become punching bags for public emotional catharsis, reflecting the jealousy that this era is prone to successful people.
epilogue
Dao Lang's new song reveals a corner of our music scene, and the coexistence of irony and repression is even more serious than expected. But we shouldn't reduce celebrities to heroes or bad guys. Each of them has their own life experiences and choices.
We should still judge the value of an artist based on the work itself. Dao Lang's new song may be one-sided, but it also reflects his sincere heart for music persistence. This is the essence of what we should be focusing on.
