Insiders in the industry: We should slow down the pace appropriately and give artists some time to breathe and adjust.
Last year, the performance market was booming, and many artists were overloaded with performances. For example, Jay Chou flew to several cities a month. The most exaggerated time for Mayday was "Singing 3" Hugh 5". Some people in the industry directly suggested that performers and brokerage companies should slow down the pace appropriately to give artists some time to breathe and adjust, and at the same time, allow fans to relax.
A performer who did not want to be named said that in previous performances, he had encountered situations where performances were postponed or canceled due to illness of artists. Such situations are really troublesome for the organizers, who usually hold concerts. We will make contingency plans in advance. If a performance is canceled, we will introduce a refund mechanism as soon as possible to minimize consumer losses.
Industry insiders said that from an emotional point of view, it is understandable that artists cannot perform normally due to physical reasons. Only by having a healthy body can the artist be in good condition on stage. But on the other hand, the rights and interests of consumers also need to be protected, and organizers must actively solve the aftermath and minimize the losses to consumers.
