Why would Deng Ziqi break up with Zhang Dan, the man she trusted most in her life?
Text/A bed of love letters
On the evening of March 7, Deng Ziqi posted a long post on Weibo and posted a lawyer's statement, announcing the termination of the contract with hummingbird Music, a brokerage company with which he had worked for 14 years.
The article is very long, and a bed of love letters draws the main points: 1. Hummingbird Music has been unfair and oppressive to her for many years; 2. Hummingbird Music still takes over the work for her after the expiration of her contract; 3. She has repeatedly negotiated and communicated with Hummingbird without results; 4. In order not to affect her partners, she is willing to cooperate to complete the last eight concerts; 5. She is desperate about what Hummingbird Music has done, and will defend her rights through legal channels.
In this regard, some people accused Deng Ziqi of being ungrateful, but more fans supported her leaving Hummingbird Music, saying that she fed the entire company alone but did not get the respect she deserved, and the company has been squeezing her as a cash cow.
In response to Deng Ziqi's complaint, on the morning of March 8, Hummingbird Music issued a statement denying it, saying that it had never been involved in any breach of contract or wrongdoing, nor had it been unfair or oppressive to Deng Ziqi.
One accusation, one denying the accusation, so it seems that the war of words between the two sides will continue, but Deng Ziqi said in an interview that he does not want the whole thing to become a scolding war, and only hopes that the right thing will be treated fairly, but from the current situation, the scolding war between the two sides is difficult to avoid.
Zhang Dan and Deng Ziqi
According to a bed of love letters, Hummingbird Music was established in 2004, under the umbrella of deng Ziqi, Fan Anting, Tingzhu three signed singers, the founder Zhang Dan is a rich second generation with musical dreams, 25 years old earned the first bucket of gold after founding hummingbird music, and then in a singing competition to discover the 14-year-old Deng Ziqi, two years later to promote her debut, and as her agent, Deng Ziqi from a nameless young singer to a first-line singer in the Chinese music scene.
The two are not only the relationship between the boss and the signed singer, but also the same brother and sister, as Deng Ziqi said in Weibo, in addition to her father, Zhang Dan is the most trusted man in her life, but now she not only wants to leave the most trusted man, but also set off a scolding war between the two.
The "grudge" between the two also has to start from Deng Ziqi's participation in "I Am a Singer" in 2014, as we all know, Deng Ziqi became popular overnight with an original song "Bubble", and fans soared from more than 100,000 to 10 million, and their value also rose nearly a hundred times.
It is easy to become popular overnight, but if you want to continue to become popular, you have to rely on the operation of the team behind the scenes, but the team behind Deng Ziqi seems to be a little weak, and failed to maintain the image of Deng Ziqi, resulting in her negative rumors.
First some netizens pulled out Deng Ziqi's love affair with her first love boyfriend when she was 16 years old, and then she was pulled out that she had scolded Deng Lixin and Hu Xing'er on the blog, and at the same time, she was accused by Zhen Ni, a senior in the music industry, of being disrespectful, and at the same time, she also spread gossip with Zhang Jie, Jin Xiuxian, and the company partner Lupo, and even was exposed to indecent photos, in the face of overwhelming negative news, the public relations team either did not respond and did not clarify, or sent a sentence of "clean people clean themselves", forcing Deng Ziqi to personally clarify the rumors.
In November 2014, at a press conference on the eve of Deng Ziqi's Hong Kong concert, Zhang Dan's attitude towards the media was very arbitrary, and even threatened to "cancel the visit." So Deng Ziqi was charged with the name of playing a big card.
Then the recording of "Kangxi Is Coming", and was exposed by the Taiwan media, Zhang Dan proposed to the production unit that Deng Ziqi could not sing classic songs in the program, but could only sing new songs, and also asked the production unit to give Deng Ziqi a separate lounge.
In February 2015, when Deng Ziqi flew to the United States to sing, a staff member next to her suddenly felt unwell, but refused to leave the cabin, resulting in the delay of the plane, so Deng Ziqi's insult was added.
On March 30 of the same year, Hunan Satellite TV gold medal producer Hong Tao sent a Weibo bombardment of Deng Ziqi's agent Zhang Dan's arrogant attitude and inability to communicate, resulting in Deng Ziqi, who had originally promised to participate in the biennial summit of "I Am a Singer", being temporarily replaced, but Zhang Dan ignored it, and finally Deng Ziqi came forward and apologized to Hong Tao on Weibo.
Perhaps it is this series of storms that led to Deng Ziqi's unfair treatment on Weibo, but for the sake of music and fans who love her, as well as partners, she can only "try to adjust her mentality, wipe away tears again and again to tell herself to calm things down and try to tolerate", but unfortunately Hummingbird Music challenged her bottom line again and again, causing her to be intolerable, and finally decided to choose to face it bravely and defend her rights through legal channels.
