In 2021, an otherwise peaceful business event suddenly fell into embarrassment. Yang Kun stood on the stage, facing not the long-awaited applause, but the boos one after another.
Dissatisfaction was written on the faces of the audience, and tension was in the air. The host tried to alleviate the embarrassment on the scene, but to little avail.
All this stems from Yang Kun's previous evaluation of Chinese music superstar Andy Lau. He once bluntly said in the live broadcast that from a professional point of view, Andy Lau is not an excellent singer.
The remarks were like a bomb that caused an uproar on the Internet.
What was it that made Yang Kun make such a bold comment? What's the story behind this? Let's unravel this mystery together.
In 1994, Yang Kun had a dream of music and resolutely left the stable life of the art troupe. He stepped on the train to the north, full of anticipation for the future.
However, the bustling metropolis of Beijing did not pave the way for this young man with dreams.
When he first arrived in Beijing, Yang Kun looked for opportunities to sing in residence. However, his unmanageable temper became a stumbling block in his career. Again and again, time and time again, Yang Kun's road to the north was extremely difficult.
By chance, Yang Kun came to the "Casablanca" bar, known as the "cradle of pop singers". Here, he seemed to see the dawn of hope. However, fate always seemed to play tricks on him.
Due to the poor business of the bar and Yang Kun's stubbornness and refusal to sing songs he didn't like, he soon lost his job opportunity again.
Just when Yang Kun fell into despair, a girl named Bai Xue appeared in his life. Bai Xue not only provided Yang Kun with a place to live, but also gave him spiritual support.
In Bai Xue's small apartment of only 10 square meters, Yang Kun found a temporary safe haven.
However, the pressure of life and the unhappiness of his career made Yang Kun's temper more and more irritable. Not only does Bai Xue have to take care of his daily life, but he also has to endure his increasing emotional ups and downs.
Even so, Bai Xue still chose to persevere. She even gave Yang Kun the gold necklace she had worn for ten years without hesitation when he was in the most difficult time.
However, no matter how deep the affection is, it can't withstand the wear and tear of time. When Bai Xue finally couldn't help but say, "You used to be so good, why have you become so unsightly now?" Yang Kun felt deeply guilty.
He took a simple mattress and left the snowy home gloomily.
This experience of drifting north not only made Yang Kun realize the hardships of life, but also made him deeply aware of the flaws in his character. These experiences became a source of inspiration for his future music creations, and also deeply influenced his understanding of life and love.
Although he eventually parted ways with Bai Xue, this relationship left an indelible mark on Yang Kun's heart.
2004 was a turning point for Yang Kun. He made a name for himself in the Chinese music scene with the song "It Doesn't Matter", like a rising star.
This song not only earned him widespread attention, but also won him the Most Popular Newcomer of the Year Award at the 10th China Song Chart Awards. Yang Kun seems to see that the road to the pinnacle of music is in front of him.
However, fate always likes to joke. Just when Yang Kun thought that he was about to reach the top of the Chinese music scene, a singer named Daolang was born, like a gust of wind that swept the entire music circle.
Daolang's "The First Snow in 2002" was like a bombshell and caused a huge response in the music world. Not only did the song top the charts, but it is estimated that it sold more than 10 million pirated discs.
In the face of this sudden rise of fierce rivals, Yang Kun's reaction was quite fierce. In an interview, he made no secret of his disdain and asked: "Is Daolang's music really music?" He even confidently said that if it was him who sang Daolang's songs, he would definitely be able to do better.
Yang Kun also pointedly pointed out that Daolang's songs lack connotation, giving people a feeling of "pale and powerless".
Yang Kun's remarks were quickly echoed by some mainstream musicians. Wang Feng called Daolang's popularity "the sorrow of Chinese pop music". Na Ying even removed Daolang's name from the list of "Top Ten Influential Singers in the Mainland" that year, and even threatened that if Daolang appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, she would rather smash the TV.
However, this seemingly massive "encirclement and suppression" did not stop Daolang's popularity from rising. On the contrary, the remarks of Yang Kun and others seemed a little sour and jealous in the eyes of the public.
Practitioners in video stores are full of praise for Daolang's influence, while the criticism of Yang Kun and others is becoming more and more pale.
This turmoil not only did not improve Yang Kun's status, but his image was damaged to a certain extent.
In the face of the backlash of public opinion, Daolang chose to return to the background and silently cultivate his music world. Yang Kun and other critics have had to re-examine their words and actions.
This turmoil made people see the complex ecology of the music industry, and also made Yang Kun realize that on the road of pursuing musical achievements, sincerity and tolerance may win the hearts of the audience more than criticism and rejection.
Although this lesson is heavy, for Yang Kun, it may be an indispensable lesson on his growth path.
In Yang Kun's music career, Bai Xue is an unavoidable name. She is not only the strong backing of Yang Kun during the period of North Drift, but also the eternal pain in his heart. The ups and downs of this relationship are like a touching tragic song, which has left a deep imprint on Yang Kun's life.
Originally, the snow was a ray of sunshine in Yang Kun's difficult years of drifting north. When Yang Kun lost his job and had nowhere to go, it was Bai Xue who opened the door to his cramped apartment.
She not only provided Yang Kun with a place to live, but also gave him great spiritual and material support. When Yang Kun was in the most difficult time, Bai Xue even took off the gold necklace she had worn for ten years without hesitation, and asked Yang Kun to take it to the pawnshop in exchange for 800 yuan for emergency.
However, the pressure of life and the unhappiness of his career made Yang Kun's temper more and more irritable. Not only does Bai Xue have to take care of his daily life, but he also has to endure his increasing emotional ups and downs.
Even so, Bai Xue still chose to persevere. However, no matter how deep the affection is, it can't withstand the wear and tear of time. When Bai Xue finally couldn't help but say the words that made Yang Kun's heart ache, this relationship also came to an end.
Fate made people, many years later, Bai Xue chose to tie the knot with others, but unfortunately died young. This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Yang Kun. The pain of loss and the feelings of remorse are intertwined, which has become the source of Yang Kun's creation.
In 2022, Yang Kun sang the new song "The End of Love" written for Bai Xue affectionately in the "Flash Band" program. On stage, he had tears in his eyes, and his voice was full of remorse and longing.
However, this seemingly touching scene has attracted many doubts.
Some netizens pointed out sharply: "I didn't know the love I cherished before I was alive, but after I died, I used it to take the opportunity to hype, this kind of behavior not only can't be called true love, but also a manifestation of selfishness."
Yang Kun once admitted that many of his works are to express his nostalgia for Bai Xue. However, this practice has also sparked controversy. Some have questioned whether he is consuming the memories of his deceased ex-girlfriend and whether he really respects Bai Xue and her family.
This unforgettable love has become the most complex and controversial part of Yang Kun's music career. It is both the source of his creation and the knot in his heart that he cannot get rid of.
Perhaps, only Yang Kun himself can truly understand the meaning of this relationship to him, and the public's judgment can only stay on the surface after all.
In Yang Kun's music career, controversy always seems to follow. In 2020, he commented on the popular song "Thunder" in a live webcast, accidentally exposing the plagiarism problem in it.
The move sparked widespread discussion and put Yang Kun in the public spotlight again.
However, what really caught Yang Kun in the whirlpool of public opinion was his evaluation of the Chinese music superstar Andy Lau. In a live broadcast, Yang Kun said bluntly: "Mr. Andy Lau, I want to ask you, why do the general public love you so much? Is it just because you've created a lot of classic characters that are deeply rooted in people's hearts? Actually, from a professional point of view, you don't count as a good singer.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Andy Lau has a large fan base, and they are angry and dissatisfied with Yang Kun's remarks. Soon, Yang Kun's social media account was "attacked" by angry fans, and the comment area was filled with the words "Yang Dehua" to satirize Yang Kun's arrogance.
In the face of the surging criticism, Yang Kun finally chose to clarify, claiming that his remarks were maliciously misinterpreted. He explained that the original intention was to emphasize that Andy Lau's outstanding achievements as an actor far exceeded his performance as a singer, but unfortunately it was maliciously interpreted by people with a heart.
However, Yang Kun's subsequent behavior is puzzling. In a live broadcast event, he specially chose Andy Lau's classic tracks as the background music, and also teased netizens in the live broadcast to continue to "frolic", just pay attention to his goods activities.
Whether Yang Kun's remarks and actions were unintentional or deliberate remains a mystery to this day. But there is no doubt that these controversies have brought him sustained attention and made people think more about the boundaries between the words and deeds of public figures.
Yang Kun's story is like a mirror, reflecting many realities in the entertainment industry. From the criticism of Daolang, to the questioning of Andy Lau's singing skills, to the reminiscence of his late ex-girlfriend Bai Xue, Yang Kun's words and deeds have repeatedly caused controversy, and also triggered the public's in-depth thinking about the words and deeds of artists.
How do artists strike a balance between the pursuit of attention and the pursuit of authenticity? Yang Kun's experience raises such a question for us. While his remarks brought him sustained heat, they also damaged his public image.
This dilemma may be a challenge for many artists.
Should there be moderation in the evaluation of peers? Yang Kun's criticism of Daolang and Andy Lau, although it may be sincere, has caused a negative reaction from Guangxi.
This reminds us that in the highly competitive entertainment industry, how to express personal opinions while maintaining respect for others is a question worth pondering.
What boundaries should there be for the remembrance of the deceased? Yang Kun's remembrance of Bai Xue, although sincere, was also questioned as consuming the deceased. This makes us wonder about the extent to which the private emotions of public figures can be the subject of public discussion.
Yang Kun's experience provides us with a window to think about the social responsibility and professional ethics of artists. Whether it is criticism or sympathy for Yang Kun, these discussions are pushing us to re-examine the ecology of the entertainment industry, as well as the relationship between artists, the public, and the media.
