The recent controversy over Xu Meijing's concert has intensified. Fans spent hundreds or even thousands of tickets to attend Xu Meijing's concert. However, Xu Meijing didn't sing a few songs at the scene. She kept chatting and interacting, sometimes playing CDs and sometimes letting the accompaniment band sing. Even Xu Meijing didn't sing her masterpiece "Regret" well. This kind of behavior directly angered the audience present, and they all called for refunds. Xu Meijing's manager arrogantly responded with "dreaming", which caused heated discussions.
A blogger with millions of fans went to Xu Meijing’s concert and almost cried with anger. Many viewers also reported to relevant departments after the concert, complaining about Xu Meijing's poor concert. It may be that there are too many viewers who complained. The staff of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism responded: "We will make a judgment based on the complaints."
Speaking of Xu Meijing, there are many representative works, such as "The Sunshine Is Always After the Storm" and "The City". Everyone is familiar with classic works such as "Moonlight", "Regret" and "Allure". She was once known as the "Queen Killer" and played a decisive role in the music scene at the end of the 20th century. She was once just one step away from the throne of Queen.
Xu Meijing's success is inseparable from the support of her agent Chen Jiaming. The two get along day and night and have a secret affection. However, the man already had a family, and the emotional entanglements between the three of them caused the career of Xu Meijing, a first-line female singer, to fail. Mental illness also followed one after another, and she began to retire from the music industry in 2000. During this concert turmoil, many of Xu Meijing's fans also called Xu Meijing distressed and sympathized with her "not singing". They also posted evidence that before the concert, Xu Meijing said it was just a fan meeting.
Judging from the "evidence" posted by fans, the organizer said from the beginning that "an individual can sing up to ten songs," which is different from the 15 songs marked on the ticket sales platform. Xu Meijing did reveal in an interview at the beginning of her comeback in 2023 that she suffered from schizophrenia and had relapsed many times.
However, netizens also said that if you are sick, you should take a good rest and recuperate, and you should not go out to make money and soil the feathers of old artists. Moreover, Xu Meijing's illness does not seem to be that serious. She had previously appeared on the variety show "I Want to Sing with You" with Li Yuchun, and also served as a guest at Li Yuchun's concert.
I guess I am holding this concert to make money. After all, I have been retired for so many years. If I don’t take advantage of the booming concert market after the epidemic to make a fortune, my financial situation will be worrying as I get older. After all, Xu Meijing's family background is ordinary. Her father is an employee of a car repair shop, and her mother is also an ordinary housewife.
Although Xu Meijing was known as Faye Wong's successor when she was most popular, she was very similar in temperament and appearance. But after so many years, Xu Meijing, who had retired, gradually gained weight and lost her recognition. Many netizens claimed that they had heard her songs but did not know her as a person. Fortunately, there are still fans from that era who are willing to go to her concerts to support her even though she has not released an album for so many years. But this concert caused such an unpleasant commotion. It can only be said that Xu Meijing is really too short-sighted, and what she did is quite fishy.
Because she is ill, people do not hold Xu Meijing to the standard of "dedication". As long as she can finish singing her ten most famous songs, I guess everyone will not be so resentful. It can only be said that no one can see sincerity from the singer. And the ticket price is seriously inconsistent with the experience, which is highly suspected of cutting leeks. Originally, fans are the singer’s biggest source of income and biggest supporters. But this concert probably also chilled the hearts of many fans.
Although there are some singers like Wu Bai who are talking about topics at concerts, they are jumping up and down and sweating profusely, and the audience also enjoys the same chorus. In Jay Chou's concert, some songs were tuned down due to age issues, but overall it did not affect the audience's experience. It can only be said that Xu Meijing overestimated the acceptance of her fans and audiences, and the failure was too obvious.
Fortunately, the ticket sales platform has also begun to study the issue of refunds, saying that if consumers want to refund their tickets, dedicated personnel will follow up.Xu Meijing is afraid that not only will she not make any money from this concert, she will also lose money. By the way, there was no official statement on Mayday’s controversial lip-synching last time, even after being investigated for so long. Could it be that this made Xu Meijing feel that there would be no loss in holding a concert?
