Yang Kun was "forced" to change his name because he openly ridiculed Andy Lau.
Since Yang Kun secretly ridiculed Andy Lau in the live broadcast room for not being a professional singer, he was attacked by public opinion, first at the concert, the audience shouted the name of "Andy Lau"; then he could not bear the pressure and apologized to Andy Lau on the live broadcast, and said that he wanted to change his name to "Yang Dehua".
Some netizens said that they knew so why did they have to do it in the first place?
In fact, not only Yang Kun, in the entertainment industry, there is also an artist who has made the same mistake as Yang Kun, that is, Pang Long, who was once a popular "mainland love song king", has now "disappeared" in the entertainment circle and rarely appears in the public eye, but Pang Long's disappearance is not only because he "offended" Andy Lau.
Pang Long is a singer that everyone is very familiar with, in 2004 Pang Long with a song "Two Butterflies" throughout the country, but also set a record for the download of color ringtones, with this song, Pang Long for the company to roll 240 million market value, and then the overwhelming business performances and endorsement activities let him earn a lot of money, the income ranked first in the mainland male singer list.
At the same time, Pang Long took advantage of the hot iron to release "You are my rose" and "Home in the Northeast" and other hot songs, Pang Long has also become a well-deserved "love song king", and even participated in the Beijing Olympic Games theme song "Beijing Welcomes You" singing, it can be said that no matter where you go, you will always hear Pang Long's singing.
Perhaps, the joy of overnight fame washed over Pang Long's mind, and Pang Long, who did not know the height of the sky, unscrupulously ridiculed the "Heavenly King" Andy Lau in the interview.
On April 22, 2011, it was the day of the collision between Andy Lau and Pang Long; one was a superstar who had been popular in Hong Kong for a lifetime, and the other was the "King of Mainland Love Songs", and the collision between the two caused a lot of sparks.
As one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Hong Kong, Andy Lau has always been the object of great respect in the hearts of everyone, and is also the idol of many artists in the circle, people always admire Andy Lau when they mention it, and the singers dare not open concerts with him on the same day, for fear that all fans will run to Andy Lau's side.
I thought that Pang Long would be very nervous after hearing that he and Andy Lau would collide with the concert, but he did not expect that pang Long was a talkative and laughing look when he was interviewed before the concert, and did not put Andy Lau in his eyes at all.
In the interview, Pang Long was asked," Will you feel pressure to collide with Andy Lau?" ”
Unexpectedly, Pang Long's answer was very confident: "It is not certain who will lose and who will win this concert!" “
Seeing that Pang Long had a hundred times more confidence in himself, the reporter asked again: "Do you think there is any difference between yourself and Andy Lau?" “
Pang Long said without hesitation: "My education is higher than Andy Lau, I graduated from a professional conservatory of music, and Andy Lau does not seem to have gone to college." ”
Andy Lau was once an actor in the wireless artist training class, although the academic qualifications are not as high as Pang Longgao, nor are he graduates of professional music colleges, but Andy Lau's singing voice is still loved by everyone.
And Andy Lau debuted more than ten years earlier than Pang Long, on seniority Andy Lau is definitely called Pang Long's predecessor, and Pang Long just sang a few rotten street Internet red songs on the sky is thick, blatantly ridiculed Andy Lau is really not.
For Pang Long, who has the confidence of fans, everyone can only sit and wait for the ending, and soon Pang Long will be slapped hard by reality.
The concert that made him full of confidence did not even fill the audience, and the number of people present was only 2,000 people; at the same time, Andy Lau's side was full, the venue was full, and even many fans could not even grab tickets.
In contrast, Pang Long's concert is particularly bleak, and the audience is distressed by Pang Long at the same time understands why Andy Lau can be popular until now, that is, a humble heart.
Even if he is already a king-level idol, Andy Lau never thinks that he has done the best, in the face of the praise and applause of the crowd, Andy Lau is never proud and complacent, and has always been low-key and strives to do the best.
And Pang Long's ridicule of Andy Lau is a complete opening of the gap between the two, who is the real idol, everyone knows at a glance.
After this incident, Pang Long also fell off the altar and disappeared from the temple.
So is Pang Long's "disappearance" really related to Andy Lau?
In addition to publicly disrespecting Andy Lau, one of the things Pang Long regretted the most was singing the song "Two Butterflies" that made him popular overnight.
After the curtain fell with the Andy Lau incident, everyone set their sights on Pang Long's music, and with the renewal of the music scene, everyone became more and more disgusted with Pang Long's singing, and the vulgar lyrics made his music crowned the title of "saliva song", and even some people bluntly said that "the emergence of Pang Long has set pop music back 20 years." ”
During that time, Pang Long suffered a lot of controversy and insults, and when he sang on the stage, some people even coaxed him to go down.
For the ridicule of the crowd, Pang Long felt pressure that he did not want to sing the so-called "fame song" again, and the song "Two Butterflies" seemed to nail him to the column of shame, constantly reminding him of his musical failures.
In fact, singing this song Pang Long is also forced.
When he first entered the music scene, Pang Long created his first album "Life Trilogy" with a dream, and for this album Pang Long did not hesitate to smash the pot and sell iron, pouring all his wealth.
I thought that his musical highlight was coming, but he did not expect that this album that made him full of expectations made him lose money.
The album's stone sinking sea allows Pang Long to see the reality clearly, and he has lived a life of stretching since then, until someone handed him the song "Two Butterflies", and at first Pang Long predicted that "absolutely can't be fired" as soon as he saw the song. ”
In addition, the style of the whole song is very different from his own musical pursuits, but the producer's repeated invitations and the valuable reward still make him bow his head to reality.
Unexpectedly, this song that made Pang Long very disgusted actually made him famous overnight, and the album that poured his life's dream was unloved, but a popular song resounded throughout the streets, which is ironic!
Even if he didn't like this song, Pang Long still made a lot of money with it, and appeared in the Spring Festival Gala 4 times in a row, and his popularity was bursting.
Until after publicly mocking Andy Lau, his popularity plummeted, coupled with people's dissatisfaction with his music, Pang Long, who felt pressure, finally saw that he was not suitable for this circle at all, and finally chose to self-"ban".
He ended all his careers and went to work as a teacher at a university, spreading his passion for music to the next generation of students.
Today's Pang Long has rarely appeared in the public eye, and after experiencing great ups and downs, he finally understands that a dull life is the most rare.
