On April 20, the well-known singer Huang Zitao had an argument with foreign DJ Martin Xiao during a performance at an event in Shanghai, and Huang Zitao scolded Martin Xiao in the live broadcast on the spot, which caused heated discussions.
As a veteran singer who has debuted for more than ten years, Huang Zitao has never encountered such disrespect for his partner, which makes many fans feel distressed for him.
What is the reason why Huang Zitao is so angry with Martin Jr.? Is there some hidden inside story that we don't know?
Huang Zitao and Martin Jr. are both well-known artists in their respective fields, and their cooperation was originally expected. But during the rehearsal the day before the official performance, Martin Jr. did not show up, and only asked the assistant to convey that he hoped that the two would work together directly during the official performance.
Huang Zitao didn't think much about it, and felt that even if he didn't rehearse, he could complete this cooperation with the professionalism of both parties.
However, on the night of the performance, Xiao Martin suddenly refused to share the stage with Huang Zitao, and he performed alone without bringing Huang Zitao at all.
What made Huang Zitao even more angry was that the song performed by Martin Jr. also contained the part that was originally scheduled to be sung by Huang Zitao, but there was no Huang Zitao himself, but only his singing voice was played.
Huang Zitao was furious on the spot, and scolded Xiao Martin through the live broadcast, saying that he had never encountered such disrespect for partners in his 13-year acting career.
Obviously, the two sides have already reached a cooperation agreement, but Xiao Martin repented at a critical moment, causing Huang Zitao to wait awkwardly offstage, which is really unbelievable.
Some netizens asked Huang Zitao, why didn't he change the song to deal with it? Huang Zitao explained that because this was a large-scale party reported in advance, he could only perform the original song.
And little Martin has already performed that song completely, and Huang Zitao will be embarrassed to sing it again. What's more serious is that when it comes to music copyright issues, Huang Zitao can no longer perform. This undoubtedly embarrassed Huang Zitao to the extreme.
Little Martin is indeed very famous abroad, but it is a bit too much to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in China. Foreign artists performing in China should also respect China's partners.
If Martin Jr. really didn't appreciate Huang Zitao, he could have refused to cooperate earlier, instead of repenting a moment before the official performance, embarrassing everyone.
This incident exposes the arrogance and prejudice that some foreign artists may have in cooperating with China. We should be wary of some people doing whatever they want in China under the guise of "international fame".
At the same time, it also calls on the industry to be cautious when choosing transnational cooperation, communicate properly, and avoid unnecessary disputes.
Huang Zitao experienced this public humiliation and had palpitations. We don't know if there are other contradictions between him and Martin Jr. that we don't know about.
But Huang Zitao's emotions can be understood, any artist who encounters such embarrassment during a public performance will react violently. This also sounded the alarm for the industry, foreign artists come to China to cooperate, but also need to learn more about Chinese culture and cherish partners.
