1. Indifferent red but playing with fire and self-immolation
In 2003, a song "It Doesn't Matter" was broadcast on major radio stations, and an unknown singer Yang Kun became popular overnight. This true work describing the life of Beipiao has touched the hearts of countless migrant workers.
Yang Kun finally relied on this song to gain a firm foothold in this highly competitive entertainment industry.
It could have been logical to continue to move forward and continue this original intention and strength. However, success blinded Yang Kun's eyes. He gradually became arrogant, and no longer focused on music composition and singing as before.
Instead, he is keen to criticize other powerful singers on the show at will, pointing out their works and talents.
Yang Kun was like lighting fires everywhere on the grassland with a torch, but he didn't know that this scorching flame would eventually engulf him. The day he played with fire and set himself on fire was approaching him step by step.
Second, pointing to Daolang is the first time that peasant music has attracted a backlash
In 2002, an unknown singer Daolang became famous in the music world with a song "The First Snow", and the sales and downloads broke the historical record. However, Yang Kun looked down on Daolang's grassroots background and publicly criticized his works as "peasant music", causing an uproar.
Daolang's fans were furious and asked Yang Kun what qualifications he had to make such an evaluation. Yang Kun didn't care at all, and continued his "straightforward and fast-talking" as he could.
Maybe it's because Daolang is also from the grassroots like him, and Yang Kun subconsciously looks down on him in his heart. Yang Kun didn't expect these words to cause such a big response, and he was still immersed in his own red.
This is the first time that Yang Kun has paid the price for publicly criticizing his peers, and has reaped a backlash from ordinary music fans and peers. But this is just the beginning, Yang Kun's arrogant fire is about to burn the prairie fire.
He needs more punishment to understand the importance of thinking twice about criticizing others. This uproar may plant a seed of humility in Yang Kun's heart and make him realize the consequences of arrogance.
Third, I am not optimistic about the newcomer Li Yuchun and continue to respond coldly
In 2005, a little girl named Li Yuchun became famous overnight through a talent show, and quickly occupied a place in the music scene with her youthful timbre and energetic stage charm.
However, in Yang Kun's eyes, this newcomer was completely unable to enter his field of vision. He publicly said that Li Yuchun couldn't sing and lacked skills.
Li Yuchun's fans were emotional, and they asked Yang Kun as a senior why he was so arrogant. But Yang Kun didn't take these opinions to heart at all, he thought that his status was superior to that of this little girl, so he was qualified to comment on her talent.
This time, Yang Kun's remarks once again sparked controversy, but unlike Dao Lang, this time the repercussions and counterattacks seemed to be much more flat. Yang Kun understood this as a new recognition of the public's evaluation of himself, which further inflated his conceited mentality.
And this spark of contempt for newcomers will also cause Yang Kun to have an even greater disaster in the future.
Fourth, once again criticized Andy Lau's fans for resisting
In 2020, Yang Kun once again mentioned Andy Lau's remarks that he didn't understand music in his live broadcast room, which finally completely annoyed Andy Lau's fans. Andy Lau has a strong fan base, and they immediately rallied to fight back against Yang Kun's ignorance and stupidity.
Yang Kun thinks that he has been in the music scene for many years, and he should have a lot of say in evaluating a junior. But he clearly underestimated the power of Andy Lau's fans. The comment area was instantly overwhelmed by Liu Fan's anger, and they called on more fans to unite and prove Andy Lau's strength with box office and sales.
In the face of such a violent backlash, Yang Kun had to bow his head and apologize publicly, but he still firmly believed in his comments in his heart. A raging fire was already burning behind Yang Kun, but he still went his own way, unaware that he had fallen into the fire.
The scale of this incident finally made Yang Kun realize the seriousness of the problem. But it was too late, and he had already left an indelible bad impression in Liu Fan's heart.
Yang Kun's erroneous arrogance ruined the popularity and reputation of his painstaking management. This punishment may finally make Yang Kun understand that you need to be cautious when commenting on others, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
Fifth, the public questioned the public drinking gaffe
After criticizing his peers many times, Yang Kun also developed the Xi of drinking openly in front of the camera. He often shows drunkenness, incoherentness, and uncontrollable behavior in his live broadcast room and variety shows he participates in.
Yang Kun thinks that spitting out the truth after drinking can win the attention of the audience. But he didn't realize that this lack of professionalism would only seriously tarnish his image.
Viewers were quick to express their disgust at Yang Kun's behavior, questioning whether a public figure should maintain the most basic modest manners.
Yang Kun turned a blind eye to the public's dissatisfaction and continued to do his own thing. He thinks that he is already an old artist and is qualified to be so public.
Yang Kun's conceit made the wildfire he ignited burn more and more, but he never thought that this flame would swallow him.
This public gaffe made him lose respect in the eyes of the public, but Yang Kun didn't realize that he was being surrounded by the raging fire step by step. This gaffe is likely to become the fuse for Yang Kun's downfall.
Sixth, the consumption of early love was revealed to be disorderly in private life
Yang Kun mentioned the story of his first love with Bai Xue several times in interviews with many programs, expressing his nostalgia and nostalgia for this relationship. He created a mellow love impression like old wine, which deeply moved the audience to his loyal side.
However, just when Yang Kun seemed to have become a representative of the down-to-earth faction of love, the media exposed the truth about the chaos of his private life. It turned out that Bai Xue was just one of his many ex-girlfriends, and now Yang Kun has long been empathetic.
Yang Kun's trick of trying to use his early love to package his positive image failed, and the moment his true face was exposed, public opinion was in an uproar. The public felt deceived and accused Yang Kun of hypocrisy and betrayal.
The fire in Yang Kun's heart has spread into a catastrophic mountain fire, but he still goes his own way, not knowing that he has become a trapped beast. This broke the news of the beginning of Yang Kun's reputation, and his disguised mask was about to disappear in the flames of arrogance.
Seventh, the career of the construction site performance fell into a trough
In 2022, some netizens broke out photos of Yang Kun having been reduced to performing at the construction site, which shows that his career has fallen into a trough. From the king of the music world to the grassroots construction site, this contrast makes everyone sigh.
Yang Kun has gone from a poor musician whose name no one even knows to a superstar in the music world with a song "It Doesn't Matter". But then the megalomania that followed made him lose his original intention, and he stopped focusing on music and spent more time criticizing his peers.
Over the years, Yang Kun has been burning his wings in the flames of arrogance. It wasn't until this moment, when he finally fell into the dust, that the corrosion of this unprecedented success was truly revealed.
Yang Kun saw that there were no fans lined up around him, in addition to regret and confusion, there was also nostalgia for the glory of the past.
He finally realized how terrible hubris was. It is like a fire that burns all over the grassland, turning all the achievements of the career accumulated for many years into nothing. Yang Kun paid a terrible price, and this fall may make him rethink his destiny.
8. Warn the world not to be arrogant
Yang Kun's experience is a profound warning to all of us, no matter what situation we are in, we must not be arrogant and empty-sighted. His rise from a smash hit to a dismal curtain call is the result of his inflated conceit. Each of us should remain humble and low-key, and always remind ourselves of the changes in the world.
Only by moving forward with gratitude and a state of mind that cannot be spent all day long can we go further and see more clearly. Yang Kun fed the tiger with his body, but was finally eaten by the evil consequences. Let each of us learn this lesson and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
In the journey of life, we will eventually go through peaks and valleys. Only with humility in our hearts can we not fall into the abyss of the trough due to arrogance and complacency at the peak. At this moment, we need more peace, low-key and wisdom to achieve steady and far-reaching results.
