The water-filled pork is annoying, and the water-filled concert is annoying.
On April 20, a number of consumers reported on social platforms that Singaporean singer Xu Meijing "paddled" at her Nanjing concert, not only did the singer sing less repertoire, but also handed over a number of classic masterpieces to the accompaniment band to sing, and the interaction between the agent and the fans occupied nearly an hour. Live videos from different angles showed that many viewers showed dissatisfaction and shouted "refund". On April 21, related topics rushed to the hot search and sparked heated discussions.

For young people, the name Xu Meijing may be a little unfamiliar. She is an "old singer" in the 90s of the last century, and today, it can be said that she is an outdated singer. When a popular singer comes back, he always has to find a selling point, and the selling point Xu Meijing is looking for is "feelings". The reason why many old fans can come to the scene to cheer is because of that "feeling", hoping to find the "youth" that has passed away by "collectively reminiscing about youth" with her.
However, Xu Meijing's "feelings" are not powerful, the whole concert is "paddling", and during the two-and-a-half-hour concert, she sang it in person for about half an hour, and she sang all unpopular songs. Most of the popular songs such as "Iron Window" and "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain" were sung by the audience, and classic works such as "Returning to the City at Night", "Regret", "Spread" and "Moonlight in the City" were sung by the members of the accompanying band, and even the masterpiece "Allure" was directly played on the original CD source. And the interaction with the audience, it is just the agent holding the microphone in Balabala.

Audiences who spend a lot of money looking for "feelings" will naturally find that the "feelings" they have proclaimed have nothing to take refuge into. The main body of the "feelings", that is, the singer himself, did not have the slightest appearance of "collective memories of youth" on the scene, and the songs that belonged to the "feelings" were not sung by themselves, and the songs they sang could not arouse the "feelings" of the audience. Even an "interactive" link linking memories has been a cold bystander.
Obviously, a concert with "feelings" was forgotten on the spot. It doesn't seem to take the "old fans" seriously, and still follows the usual rhythm of "cutting leeks", collecting the price of commercial performances, and doing the work of "water injection" and "discount". This ugly "eating appearance" obviously ignores the changed mentality of "old fans" in the Internet era. "Leeks" are no longer the "leeks" of the past, and they will no longer be unprincipled tolerance and connivance, and any disrespectful slow treatment and "paddling" will be put under the microscope for scrutiny, and then to crusade and defend rights. The audience shouted "refund", which was already very polite, and the follow-up "butterfly effect" may be a burden that those singers with the thinking of "cutting leeks" cannot bear. Once the signboard and reputation are smashed or destroyed, it is likely to fall into a situation from which it will never recover.

Although it is reported that Xu Meijing's event is a fan meeting, not a concert, and the ticketed performance information is also displayed as a "meeting concert", it seems that the "meeting" is used to "paddle" the floor. But the audience is not stupid, it doesn't matter if it's called a meet-and-greet or a concert. The important thing is that you are charging the ticket according to the price of the commercial show. Since tickets are charged at the price of commercial performances, and a promise has been made on the ticketing website that the repertoire will be 15 pieces, it is the most basic business ethics to keep the promise and ensure the basic quality of the performance. If you don't even have this bit of ethics, your clever justification will not only not win applause, but will be more likely to be swallowed up by public opinion.
It should be seen that the audience in the past two years is not so easy to fool. Perhaps because of the maturity of their sense of rights, they no longer worship idols unconditionally, but have a certain degree of requirements for the performance perception and performance quality of idols. The performance is not on the right board or badly paddling, and they don't get a veritable viewing experience, and they can turn their faces at any time. This also reminds celebrity artists that fans' leeks are not easy to cut. Sincerely favor fans and pay sincerely, in exchange for the reciprocal return of fans.
