The survival status of the entertainment industry: the dilemma of artists and the power of public opinion
Deng Lun used to be a first-line student in the mainland and starred in many hit dramas. However, in 2022, he was listed as a "bad artist" on suspicion of tax evasion, and was subsequently banned by the industry, and his work could not be released as scheduled. Still, there have been recent signs that he is poised to make a comeback. For example, one of his old works has been officially recognized and affirmed, and he has also begun to try new career development directions such as live streaming. To completely get rid of the identity of a "bad artist" and regain a foothold is still a difficult challenge for Deng Lun. The power of public opinion is intangible but tangible, and it often brings long-term shadows and influences to the careers of the artists involved.
Compared with Deng Lun's situation, Tian Fuzhen is facing a different dilemma. As a famous Taiwanese singer, her business in the mainland was once booming. In 2022, she posted a video of the "pasta incident" on social media, which sparked strong dissatisfaction among mainland netizens, who were accused of ridiculing and belittling mainland culture. This incident brought a devastating blow to her reputation in the mainland, and her endorsements and commercial performances were canceled one by one. Although she has tried to repair her image by reposting positive energy Weibo and other means, netizens have generally questioned her approach as an attempt to re-enter the mainland market. Recently, one of her performances in the mainland was also boycotted by netizens and eventually forced to cancel. It can be seen that the power of public opinion has played a decisive role here, and it has directly affected Tian Fuzhen's career prospects in the mainland.
The influence of public opinion is not always negative. Taking Guo Biting and Xiang Zuo's married life as an example, when there were rumors that Guo Biting was forced to marry Xiang Zuo, Xiang Zuo personally denied this statement through social media and publicly supported his wife. This practice has reversed the trend of public opinion to a certain extent, and also allowed the outside world to have a clearer understanding of the true situation of the relationship between the two. Of course, netizens still have different opinions on this matter, but public opinion has played a positive role here, helping to restore the truth of the facts.
Public opinion plays an increasingly important role in today's entertainment industry. It can not only directly affect the career development of artists, but also influence the public's perception and judgment of certain events. Therefore, artists must always maintain a high degree of vigilance to avoid inappropriate words and deeds that may cause a strong backlash from public opinion. They also need to learn to correctly use the power of public opinion to protect their own image and interests. Only in this way can they remain invincible in this uncertain industry.
