The 34-year-old singer Liu Mingfeng won the fifth place in the first session of the singing competition “Super Avenue of Stars” in 2007, and became famous overnight. However, recently an industry broke the news that Liu Mingfeng asked a friend about the singing job. He didn’t expect to ask “Do I need to audition?” in the store, and even sent a message later, “If you charge this price (1,200 yuan for 2 hours), I can be very reasonable. Doubt you are looking down on me?” The industry revealed that because Liu Mingfeng had hinted on the fan club, it affected the store, but so far there has been no apology, contacting the agent, the other party also said that it was a personal behavior and had nothing to do with the company, which made them quite helpless.
The industry complained that on August 14 this year, Liu Mingfeng’s female friend asked if Liu Mingfeng could come to sing. At that time, he replied that all resident singers need to come to audition first, and then communicate with the group to arrange follow-up performances. Unexpectedly, Liu Mingfeng entered the store a moment before closing without notice the next day, and the staff asked if he wanted to try a few songs. Liu Mingfeng replied, “Do I need to try singing?”
The operator said that because Liu Mingfeng did not need to audition, the staff informed that if he did not come to audition, there is a basic requirement of 200 yuan for meals in our restaurant. At the moment, Liu Mingfeng did not say anything, and he also sang on stage during the Open mic. The staff told the resident singer that the rostering fee would be 1,200 yuan for 2 hours, and then joined the singer arranging group in the store. Unexpectedly, Liu Mingfeng wanted to increase his salary afterward, but after being rejected, he did not respond in the group.
The industry pointed out that when they contacted again in September, Liu Mingfeng emphasized the difference between artists and resident singers in the dialogue and used angry words. As you can see from the dialogue message, Liu Mingfeng mentioned that “I performed at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center last month, and the reward was 45,000 yuan. The Kaohsiung City Government invited me”, “I have been invited to perform at any event venue since I was 18 years old, and so on. Even the big river bank, no one has ever told me, hey, how much are you going to pay today?” “If you charge this price, I can reasonably suspect that you look down on me, right?” “I don’t care about that low price at all. Eliminate 200, it’s a matter of feeling.”
Immediately afterwards, Liu Mingfeng accused the industry of uploading his singing videos during the Open mic period to Fanzhuan without his consent. The industry has no choice but to respond to this. Liu Mingfeng did not provide any notice that he could not shoot or upload videos, and fans shared the limited-time dynamic, so why didn’t he say it at the time.
The operator emphasized that he did not do anything to Liu Mingfeng from the beginning to the end, such as impolite, disrespectful, aggressive, choking, etc., but he was constantly attacked by words; and after communicating with the agent, the other party said that Liu Mingfeng contacted him. It is a personal act and has nothing to do with the brokerage company. The industry sighed that so far, they have not been able to get an apology from Liu Mingfeng for his reputation-damaging or malicious slanderous remarks and questions. “Is there any other way to deal with it or complaint channels? Do we still need to take into account the artist’s identity?”
