In the entertainment industry, the personal behavior of celebrities is often not only related to their personal image, but also inseparable from social responsibility. Recently, concerts have become a hot keyword in the entertainment industry, especially Mayday and Rainie Yang have attracted much attention because of concert-related events. Against this backdrop, it's worth looking back at the actions of these artists and the series of discussions that sparked them.
On a day full of caution and mourning, many celebrities choose to express their respect for history and mourning for the deceased through social media. December 13 is a day that the Chinese nation will never forget, it is not only a moment to pay tribute to compatriots and convey the truth, but also an opportunity to inherit history and remember the past. Li Bingbing, Yang Mi,
Celebrities such as Zhao Liying and Di Lieba reposted their condolences to the victims of the Nanjing Massacre through Weibo. These actions symbolize the artist's commitment to social responsibility and resonate widely.
In less than 24 hours, the number of views on related topics exceeded 700 million, and the number of discussions exceeded 8 million. However, on the same day, Mayday and Rainie Yang also appeared on the hot search for other reasons, but this time the amount of discussion was due to doubts about their behavior. Especially Rainie Yang, her behavior caused strong dissatisfaction among netizens. For years, she never seemed to express her condolences through social media on this special day. In December 2023, Rainie Yang was caught up in controversy for allegedly discriminating against Henan people for some gaffes during the concert.
In the face of the public's strong reaction, although she issued an apology, until December 13, her silence on the public platform lasted for three days. In different years, Rainie Yang's performance on December 13 varied: she was busy promoting new songs, or posting photos of the show, but she did not repost the mourning content. The influence of public figures is enormous, and every time they come forward collectively is seen as taking on a social responsibility. Rainie Yang's actions not only show her personal choices, but may also reflect her true thoughts many times.
As many netizens have pointed out, a person's casual remarks are often more reflective of their inner worldview and values. In this industry, the Xi of artistic virtues is as important as the cultivation of artistic skills. The tolerance for Rainie Yang has reached its limit, and despite her repeated accusations, she was still able to hold concerts without worries and received public support. The response, however, was more controversial. Not only that, the construction of public image and the establishment of artistic virtue should also become the conscious action of every public figure. Although not every artist is asked to express words of condolence, for those who are open-mouthed,
For artists who have lost their words, this is not only a matter of apology, but also a matter of being responsible for their own actions. Looking back at September 18, 2017, when other stars were forwarding their grief about history, Rainie Yang was busy celebrating her movie box office exceeding 100 million. What we advocate is an artist who has a clear understanding of history and actively assumes social responsibility.
Every entertainer should consciously maintain their image as a public figure, not just show their artistic talent on stage.
Although not every artist will speak out on important historical days, after facing their own gaffes, timely reflection and expression of grief are also a manifestation of a sense of social responsibility. It goes without saying that the entertainment industry is a stage full of light, but there is also the weight of responsibility under the light. The social image of artists not only affects their careers, but also affects the public's evaluation and trust in them.
At such a moment of far-reaching significance to historical memory and social responsibility, what we hope to see is that artists can demand themselves with higher standards and use actions to prove the importance of "consciously practicing style and morality and establishing a good social image". In the future, we hope that artists can more consciously assume the responsibility of public figures, and jointly maintain and promote a healthy and progressive entertainment ecological environment with positive behaviors and positive images. As the old saying goes, "learn art first and learn morality", under the light of the halo, don't forget to assume social responsibility as an artist. We believe that only in this way will the public's support and trust in artists continue, and the entertainment industry will have a better tomorrow.
