On April 20, singer Huang Zitao's angry attack on Martin Jr. at the music festival caused great controversy, and he exploded in anger, and he himself expressed his dissatisfaction in the live broadcast that night.
In the early morning of the next day, Huang Zitao issued an apology for his inappropriate remarks, but unexpectedly, Martin Jr.'s response to this matter was very different from Huang Zitao......
"It doesn't matter who he is, because I don't know him."
On the evening of April 20, at the request of the organizers, Huang Zitao and the well-known foreign DJ Martin Xiao had a joint performance at the music festival, but Huang Zitao was never seen, and only Martin Xiao was DJing alone on the stage.
It wasn't until the end of the performance that Huang Zitao finally came on stage and vented his dissatisfaction with Martin Jr.'s disrespect for cooperation, and said, "Who he is has nothing to do with me, because I don't know him", and finally burst into foul language because he was too angry.
According to Huang Zitao's own speech on stage and in the subsequent live broadcast to fans, we can know that the original cooperative performance was never seen during the rehearsal.
And it is said to be a cooperative performance, but judging from the schedule, Huang Zitao's appearance time is from 19:00 to 19:05, which is only a short 5 minutes, while Martin Jr. has a full hour of performance time.
Even in this 5-minute cooperation show, Huang Zitao only has 1 or 2 minutes to sing, and the rest is Martin's time.
But before 19:00, little Martin went to the stage to start the SOLO performance and DJing without notifying Huang Zitao, and finally released this cooperative song at the end.
This also caused Huang Zitao to wait backstage for more than 1 hour, and he didn't go on stage to explain the situation until the end of the performance.
While waiting, Huang Zitao also started a live broadcast backstage, explained the situation to fans, and said that in his 13 years in the industry, he has never encountered such a disrespectful situation at work.
And judging from the tone of the fans, Huang Zitao was very angry during the live broadcast, and then he was directly angry and cried. Immediately, the entries of "Little Martin playing a big name in China" and "Huang Zitao angrily scolded Little Martin" instantly rushed to the hot search.
However, regarding this matter, Martin Jr.'s response was very different from Huang Zitao's.
Differing opinions
Huang Zitao is famous for his "true temperament" in domestic entertainment, and most people don't know who Xiao Martin is at all, so at the first time of the incident, netizens were on Huang Zitao's side.
Huang Zitao also publicly apologized for the inappropriate speech at the music festival in the early hours of yesterday morning, but he said that he only addressed the swear words in English.
His response not only did not get scolded, but gained the support of many netizens. However, with Martin Jr.'s own response to this matter, netizens were a little "incomprehensible".
According to Martin Jr., he did not receive any notice of cooperation from the organizers, nor did he receive a notice that he was going to rehearsal, and he had only arrived in China that day.
and went on to say that after arriving there, he found that Huang Zitao seemed to be in a mood, so he tried every means to get the two on the same stage, and tried to get Huang Zitao to come up and take a photo with him in the middle of his performance.
So he played the collaborative track at the end of the performance, but the vocals in the song had already begun to sing, but Huang Zitao was not seen on stage for a long time.
also said that Huang Zitao seemed to be hiding in the bathroom or dressing room, and then he didn't know what he was doing standing on the stage stupidly, so he hurriedly stepped off the stage.
Judging from Martin Jr.'s response, he didn't know that there was cooperation, and he was innocent about the whole thing, and said that what was on the Internet was "untrue".
However, in response to Xiao Martin's "innocent" speech, many reasonable and well-founded questions from netizens and Huang Zitao's fans directly pointed out that Xiao Martin "distorted the facts and beat him upside down", and the words were even more contradictory.
even said that little Martin actually "backstabbed" Huang Zitao, but fortunately, Huang Zitao opened a live broadcast in the middle, or he couldn't distinguish it with a few mouths.
Several interrogations
The scheduled time for going on stage was 19:00 in the morning, but Martin Jr. had already played a song on stage at 18:55, which was evidenced by the time when the audience took pictures.
And what he said about not knowing the rehearsal is also false, obviously he notified that he would not go to the rehearsal, and Huang Zitao, who only replied by the staff, could not rehearse.
It's just that Huang Zitao finally came to the rehearsal out of respect for his work, so Xiao Martin is not what he said, completely unaware.
Later, some audience members said that during Little Martin's performance, some staff members came on stage to communicate with him, but after the staff left, Little Martin still didn't react at all, and was still DJing by himself.
And as far as Martin Jr. said, he saw that Huang Zitao was emotional, but at that time he was on the stage and the other party was offstage, how did he see it? If the staff said it, then why was he still unmoved and kept performing alone on stage SOLO.
And what he said has been trying to find a way to get the two on the same stage, that is, it was supposed to be a cooperative performance between the two parties, but now it has become a large-scale "fan meeting", allowing another singer to come up and take a photo with him?
Moreover, it was obviously the opening performance, why did Martin Jr. have to play this collaborative song after all his performances?
And what he said, I haven't seen Huang Zitao all the time, and he has been waiting in the audience, and he even loves you because he has been waiting for too long, and he doesn't want fans to worry about starting a live broadcast in the background, how can this become a lack of seeing others?
Instead, Xiao Martin beat him upside, saying that Huang Zitao went to the bathroom or put on makeup so he didn't see others.
But it was obvious that little Martin had already played a song on stage at 18:55, and that time period was originally the time for makeup, and he rushed to the stage to start performing without notifying anyone.
And through the live broadcast and the time on various photos of the audience, it can also be known that Huang Zitao went to the bathroom at 19:56, which was nearly an hour later than the original performance time.
In addition, Little Martin said righteously that he didn't know that he and Huang Zitao had a cooperative performance, so why did he know what the repertoire of the two collaborated on, and he played it after the performance?
What's more, as early as April 3, the organizer had already announced the news of Huang Zitao's cooperation with Xiao Martin, so why is it now that he himself does not know, only Huang Zitao unilaterally knows about the cooperation?
even played Huang Zitao's songs when DJing on stage, you must know that for this kind of large-scale event, the singer's performance must be reported in advance.
This also caused Huang Zitao to be completely confused at the scene, because he didn't know which song he was going to sing, and no one informed him.
This series of well-founded questions instantly cleaned up the contradictory loopholes in Martin's words, and then the voices of suspected on-site staff set off a wave of public opinion again.
Suspected staff members speak out
Just when this matter was in an uproar, there was a "spit post" on the Internet that was suspected to be sent by the on-site staff, which aroused heated discussions.
The "staff member" said that the original plan for the end of the event was to go to dinner, but because of Martin Jr., the project was so yellow.
Things have developed to this point, and there may still be many people who don't know who Little Martin is, he is a very famous DJ abroad, and he is also one of the top 100 DJs in the world.
And why this matter is so big is because in the eyes of netizens, just like Huang Zitao said that he didn't know Xiao Martin, Xiao Martin naturally didn't know Huang Zitao.
Needless to say, the seriousness of an internationally renowned DJ who came to perform in China not only did not rehearse, but also released the pigeons of the same singer on the same stage in public.
But what Xiao Martin didn't expect was that Huang Zitao would be so rigid and say this in public, and instantly set off a wave of public opinion, so that it developed to the point of uncontrollable.
And his so-called response is actually confusing the concept of time, as long as he insists that he doesn't know all this, then Martin Jr. is the perfect "victim" image.
Unexpectedly, all this was because of his inconsistent preface and loophole words, which made netizens discover the clues.
However, although public opinion is getting bigger and bigger, some netizens still said that they don't know the full picture and will not comment, so what are the facts?
The organizer's response provoked controversy
On the afternoon of April 21, the organizers finally responded to the "Huang Zitao Little Martin Stage", saying that they did not do a good job of communicating with the two singers, which caused a misunderstanding between the two parties, and apologized for it.
However, some netizens still said that this wave of responses still took care of him, but with the organizer's response and apology, this matter finally came to an end.
