Wang Feng was accused of being late for the performance, and the exaggerated publicity of the concert actually made the singer take the blame？

　　The picture shows the poster of the concert, with only Wang Feng and Huang Guanzhong, causing many viewers to mistakenly believe that only these two singers participated in the concert.

　　"Wang Feng’s concert was 80 minutes late". Yesterday, such a conspicuous entry appeared in Weibo’s trending topic list, and a concert attended by Wang Feng caused a heated discussion on the Internet. At present, Wang Feng’s team has responded that he appeared in the original order of appearance. The late appearance is purely a rumor, and the audience may have mistaken the platter performance for his special concert due to the exaggerated publicity of the organizers.

　　On the evening of July 20, a concert titled "The Sea Is Broad and the Sky: The Power of Faith" was staged in Shaoxing, and singers such as Xin Band and Xie Zhongjie took the stage one after another. But many audience members were waiting for Wang Feng to appear, and kept complaining through Weibo: "It took an hour and 20 minutes for Wang Feng to appear." According to live video, a large number of fans shouted "refund" during the concert transition, and they were very emotional.

　　To this end, Wang Feng’s work team responded, calling the event a "platter commercial performance". "Wang Feng and the work team should arrange for the organizers to arrive in Shaoxing one day in advance and participate in the rehearsal on time." On the day of the performance, he also participated in the performance strictly according to the performance schedule of the organizers, and arrived at the scene in advance and performed on time. "There is no situation of being late." After the "Wang Feng was late" incident fermented, a person familiar with the matter provided a flow sheet for the concert. From the list, it can be seen that the singer Xin Band, Xie Zhongjie and Huang Guanzhong will all participate in the performance. Wang Feng is just one of many artists who will take the stage.

　　However, in the pre-performance promotion, Wang Feng’s position was deliberately highlighted. According to the promotional copy of the concert posted online, "Wang Feng, the representative of Chinese new rock music and a musical talent, will sing passionately in Keqiao (Shaoxing) to bring a concert of’The Sea Is Broad and the Sky · The Power of Faith ‘." The promotional article also said that the concert also invited another singer, Huang Guanzhong, the former lead guitarist of Beyond, and called the performance "not only the first collaboration between Wang Feng and Huang Guanzhong, but also the passionate collision of mainland rock and Hong Kong rock." And in the concert poster, Wang Feng and Huang Guanzhong are only two people. Many of the audience members shouted that they had been deceived. "The originally advertised concert was for Wang Feng and Huang Guanzhong. I believe most of the people are also here for Wang Feng."

　　It is not the first time that a platter concert has been advertised as a special performance, and the audience has been misled into buying tickets. "This kind of thing is very common." Lu Shiwei, a music critic, said that when a singer participated in a commercial performance in Australia, he signed a contract with the organizer to sing only a few songs, but the organizer exaggerated it in the promotion, so that the audience thought it was his personal concert. "They even said that the audience who bought tickets could have dinner and take pictures with the singer in the restaurant. In fact, without anyone’s consent, the artist team did not know." The reason for the organizers to do this is simple, he said, "It is for publicity, to sell more tickets and make money." But once the truth is revealed, it is often the artist who takes the blame. " The audience doesn’t know how the industry works, and they don’t know the organizers. If something goes wrong, only public figures can think of it. All the dirty water will definitely be poured on the artists. "

　　Regarding whether artists or audiences can be held accountable to the organizers, Zhu Kening, president of the China Performance Industry Association, said that in the case of the Wang Feng incident, "because the specific situation is still unclear, it depends on what is in the contract signed between the artist and the organizer, and then investigate whether the organizer is improper publicity. If it is confirmed that it is false propaganda in violation of the contract, then consider matters such as refund according to laws and regulations." But Zhu Kening admitted that there is no clear indicator at this stage of how the organizers can be considered "false propaganda." "If A singing is advertised as B singing, it must be false propaganda, but if several artists participate, the organizers highlight a more box office-worthy person in the publicity, which is more like playing an edge ball." For such behaviors, laws and regulations need to be made clearer. The China Performance Industry Association calls for industry self-discipline, and organizers should publicize them truthfully and respect the legitimate rights and interests of the audience.
