Famous singers, please stop fooling your audience!

Recently, the famous singer Xu Meijing sang in Nanjing and was angrily shouted by the audience to "refund the ticket":

In the whole performance, Xu Meijing sang less than 10 songs in its entirety, and the rest of the songs were either sung by the audience or simply sung by the band members, and the interaction with the fans took up about an hour, causing strong dissatisfaction among the audience.

The "paddling" singing in a large-scale commercial performance once again entered the public's eye.

Singaporean singer Xu Meijing has many fans born in the 70s and 80s, but this time, fans who want to hear her sing songs such as "Moonlight in the City", "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain" and "Allure" are disappointed. Not to mention whether Xu Meijing's personal music level in the performance is online, the length of time she sings is far lower than the audience's expectations.

An audience member complained on the Internet that many of Xu Meijing's well-known songs were sung by the band

Judging from the "minimum performance repertoire is 15 songs, and the performance duration is about 100 minutes" marked on the ticketing website in the early stage of the performance, it is already lower than the performance standard of singers of the same magnitude, and under normal circumstances, concerts held in large stadiums have a singing time of more than 120 minutes and singers sing more than 20 songs. And this time, the audience who came with the desire to listen to the song not only did not hear the golden song singing, but also listened to the chat for nearly an hour.

At present, this incident has received the attention of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, and the staff said that they have received feedback from the masses and are being dealt with.

As soon as Xu Meijing's performance incident came out, it instantly aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Fans buying concert tickets to watch performances are, in essence, consumer consumption behavior. If you try to play "poor information" to fool the audience, you are suspected of deceiving consumers and disrupting the market order. At the turn of 2022 and 2023, Zeng Yike once "DJed" for an hour at his personal New Year's Eve concert, and Jay Chou invited many guests to overseas performances, and he only "paddled" and sang for an hour, which made the audience very dissatisfied.

In fact, the relevant authorities have long made explicit regulations on performance behavior in large-scale commercial performances. In 2017, the Ministry of Culture (now the Ministry of Culture and Tourism) issued the Notice of the Ministry of Culture on Regulating the Operation Order of the For-profit Performance Ticketing Market, which stipulates that when selling performance tickets, performance organizers and performance ticketing business units shall clearly indicate the minimum duration of the performance, the information of theatrical performance groups or main actors, and if it involves the holding of concerts, they shall also clearly indicate the main actors or groups and the corresponding minimum number of repertoire; In April last year, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of the Performance Market and Standardizing the Order of the Performance Market", which also mentioned that it is necessary to crack down on illegal activities such as ticket speculation and false propaganda by "scalpers" in accordance with the law.

In recent years, the development of cultural undertakings on the mainland has advanced by leaps and bounds, the performance market has flourished, the audience's appreciation level has risen, and the awareness of rights protection has become stronger and stronger. Playing "edge ball" to attract consumers in large-scale performance publicity can only be a "one-shot deal".

Now that it is the turn of spring and summer, the peak season of concerts is approaching, and market players must strengthen self-discipline, which is not only related to the reputation of the first and second singers, but also related to the development of the overall performance market. In the context of the integration of culture and tourism, large-scale performances have become an important part of stimulating the regional economy. The regulatory authorities should also maintain market order, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and let the cultural tourism market flourish benignly and vigorously.
