Recently, actor Lin Gengxin's love affair was exposed by the media, which immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, and a large number of Lin Gengxin's fans expressed their disappointment and puzzlement, and even chose to "lose their fans". This once again aroused public attention and discussion about the private life of the artist.
The success of an actor is inseparable from the support of fans. The development of fans requires the efforts of both actors, not only the actors' perseverance in presenting wonderful works, but also the long-term companionship and encouragement of fans.
It can be said that there is a delicate and mutually beneficial relationship between artists and fans. However, when the artist's private life is exposed, the relationship is at risk of being broken.
The main reasons why Lin Gengxin's fans are disappointed and angry are as follows: When the series was on the air, the exposure of the romance was believed to have affected the marketing of the drama.
It is reported that Lin Gengxin is starring in the hit drama "Walking with the Phoenix", and is packaged as a CP partner with the heroine Zhao Liying. In this context, the exposure of Lin Gengxin's love affair undoubtedly hit the marketing effect of the show and destroyed the beautiful fantasies of CP fans.
Fans think that Lin Gengxin's personal behavior is not cautious and restrained enough, which affects his image. Some fans pointed out that Lin Gengxin should manage himself during the broadcast of the show, and not give the public and fans the impression that he already has a girlfriend, which is also disrespectful to other co-actors.
The manner and timing of the exposure of the romance are controversial. Lin Gengxin's relationship was exposed at the end of the show, giving people a feeling that the secret had been discovered. And the specific way in which the relationship was made public is also controversial, making fans feel "tricked".
Fans think that Lin Gengxin only attaches importance to traffic and fame and fortune, and does not respect the feelings of fans. Fan support is the cornerstone of a celebrity's success, and if fan emotions are stimulated, it is very detrimental to the artist's development.
It can be seen from the reaction of Lin Gengxin's fans that in today's entertainment industry, the status of fans is different from what it used to be. They no longer simply aspire to idols, but also require idols to have basic work ethic. Otherwise, it may cause disgust or even boycott from fans.
So what should an actor as a public figure do after his private life is exposed? Here are a few suggestions: Keep silent. Don't over-explain or justify, and don't shift the blame to others. Silence avoids escalation of disputes and leaves room for all parties to think.
Focus on your work and create a positive image. Actors should know that fans care most about the work, so no matter what the outside world says, it is most important to stick to the work. At the same time, we should also pay attention to positive public welfare behaviors and show a positive image.
Strengthen communication with fans. Through channels such as fans, patiently listen to the voices of fans and resolve their disappointments. You can also release some life status in a timely manner, so that fans can continue to feel the artist's intentions.
Brokers should guide public opinion scientifically. Avoid overly commercial marketing tactics to stimulate fans, and at the same time, actively screen the comments and not let extremely negative reviews dominate.
Adjust your mindset and reflect on improvement. In the face of the "betrayal" of fans, actors must not fight back recklessly, but self-reflect on whether there is anything that can be improved in terms of professionalism and private life.
The Lin Gengxin incident once again proves that in this era of highly developed information, it is difficult for artists to "keep their privacy out" in front of public opinion, and the status of fans is also improving day by day.
If an actor only blindly pursues fame and fortune and does not respect the feelings of fans, he will only end up losing both. It is hoped that the majority of artists can actively cope with the pressure of their private lives being exposed, establish a new and more mature relationship with fans, and jointly promote the progress of the entertainment industry.
