Hui Tingheng, a Hong Kong singer who left TVB in 2017, has always been quite resentful of his old owner, and he has been interviewed twice earlier that he was unfairly treated, unfree in his creation, and was forcibly praised by the current owner Warner Records for understanding music, giving freedom, and helping himself to go further. But in recent days, Warner has given Xu Tingheng a loud slap.
According to the Hong Kong media "Oriental Daily" reported that "Warner Brother" Hui Tingheng was somewhat inflated because he won the "Gold Award for Male Singers in the Music World" of the "2020 Billboard Pop Chart Awards", often posing as a superstar, not only taking a non-cooperative attitude towards Warner's arrangement, but also attacking A&R (artists and production departments) on the grounds of song problems, almost becoming the public enemy of the whole company. But what was most intolerable to the top management was that Xu Tingheng also bypassed the company's private work, which obviously involved contract breaches. The following picture is a screenshot of the Hong Kong media report:
It is reported that Warner executives have ordered the removal of promotional posts related to Xu Tingheng on the company's official social accounts, and all the videos of songs related to Warner on personal online channels have been removed, and it seems that the top singer has been officially put into the refrigerator. Warner did not comment on the media coverage, saying only that it would announce the matter in the near future.
The contradiction between Hsu and Warner has long been foreshadowed. In February, Warner singers gathered in the company to take family portraits, only Xu Tingheng was absent; in early March, ViuTV held a press conference for the new awards ceremony in the music world, Xu Tingheng sat separately from other Warner singers, and zero communication kept a distance throughout the whole process; two days ago, Warner solicited votes for the singers shortlisted for the new awards ceremony, only missing Xu Tingheng, causing many speculations among fans, and Xu Tingheng was not willing to show weakness, and immediately deleted the company contact method of his social platform and replaced it with his own private mailbox.
In fact, if TVB has a Bole encounter with Xu Tingheng, then Warner is a grace for him to recreate. As we all know, Xu Tingheng was very unhappy with TVB that year, so that after the termination of the contract, he was completely banned, and it was Warner who resisted the pressure to help him, so that he could continue to move forward on the road of music; more rarely, Warner also gave Xu Tingheng the so-called creative freedom that he longed for, and let him play arbitrarily in terms of songs and MVs, and other requirements were also met as much as possible, such as organizing a Red Hall concert for him, striving for a song award, etc.
The current situation is very unfavorable to Xu Tingheng, after all, he has torn his face with TVB before, and now he is openly opposite to Warner, and the two successive owners are extremely embarrassed, and it is difficult not to suspect that he has a problem with his life. In addition, the behavior of private work is taboo in the industry, will there be companies that dare to reuse him in the future?
