What should I do if an artist is traveling abroad and some actions accidentally violate local laws?
A while ago, Jay Chou's good brother and warhead Song Jianzhang went to Mauritius, Africa with his good friends. Fortunately, they met a group of sperm whales. They happily swam with them.
Judging from the pictures he took, he was really very close to the sperm whale, which gave people a very shocking feeling. He described that when he saw the whales, he was so moved that he cried in the sea. Therefore, he shared the process of this pleasant trip online.
But soon afterwards, some netizens began to point out that humans are not allowed to approach and touch whales in Mauritius. Wang Xinyi, an actress who once went to Tonga to watch whales, also mentioned that local regulations once a ship spots a whale, other ships must stay one to two hundred meters away and wait for the spotted ship to leave before approaching.
And only four people can enter the water at a time. If you encounter a mother and child whale, you cannot do diving. The mother's face stimulates the instinct of the whale to protect her children, and touching the whale is not allowed. As long as you touch it, the boatman will also Severe rebuke warning. Similarly, Mauritius also has a rule against touching whales, but Wang Xinyi also mentioned that there is a phenomenon of chaotic management in some places, and some people do touch whales. She can only observe the direction of the whales after communicating with them. Wait where you expect whales to pass and try to avoid contacting or disturbing the whales.
Warhead’s sharing did not mention this. His actions of “close contact” with whales actually violated local laws. Faced with the reminder from netizens, Warhead first choked back and said, "So you haven't seen a whale. I can ask you to see it. Why are you so proud that you think the whale belongs to you if you haven't seen it..."
But not long after, he remained silent again. Delete this acid article. Facing more and more doubts from netizens, Warhead finally apologized recently.
He issued a statement through his agency, saying, "I have received everyone's suggestions and corrections. I humbly accept the suggestions. I want to clarify that it should be our different relationships that have caused everyone to misunderstand... This incident has taught me more." ..."
It is reported that the reason why he went to take pictures of sperm whales this time was because he wanted to shoot the cover of his first solo album in 19 years of debut and find a well-known photographer to cooperate with him. He said, "Last year was too busy. In 2023, I worked very hard to perform in mainland China to support my family. I flew to 67 cities, so I wanted to relax and go to Mauritius to look for whales and experience the indescribable shock in my heart."
was lucky enough to chase a sperm whale, which inspired him to burst out with inspiration after he landed ashore. He also wrote a new song with the theme of whale scent. According to normal procedures, this trip to Mauritius is also one of the highlights of the promotion of his work. I didn’t expect that this wave of sharing and antagonizing netizens would cause such a big controversy.
Speaking of which, Warhead is also a good brother promoted by Jay Chou. He is the veteran of the first generation of "Nanquan Mama". He has written many songs for Jay Chou, including "Stranded", "Pull Me Down If You Don't Love Me", etc., and he earns a lot of royalties income alone. earned a lot.
Being able to release a solo album this time is also thanks to Jay Chou. He revealed that the title song of the album with the same name, "Time Diva", was the result of Jay Chou suddenly asking him to write a song in his room during the celebration banquet of his concert five years ago. ...
At that time, Jay Chou played a chorus, and Warhead immediately had the inspiration to pick up the lyrics. Jay Chou played a short chorus with great enthusiasm, and asked Warhead to help him record it on his mobile phone. Two years later, Warhead invited Jay Chou to sing, Jay Chou said generously: "The chorus I asked you to record before is just for you!"
So Warhead is really grateful to Jay Chou for having the opportunity to release an album. You must know that Jay Chou had On January 1, I made a wish, saying, "I hope Warhead can release a solo album one day." Now this wish is about to come true, and Warhead is very excited.
You must know that the "performance in mainland China" he mentioned last year was to perform with the friends of Nanquan Mama. However, Liang Xinyi, Zhang Jie, and Yuhao of Nanquan Mama have already left the group to form "Nanquan Mama x" , the two groups were still singing opposite each other in the Mainland. Some people went to Liang Xinyi but found that "Nanquan Mama" did not perform without her, but the one called "Nanquan Mama" was the original name of the group, and Warhead was also the first generation member, a group. The "twins" controversy once made netizens confused.
I don’t know if such a “sperm whale controversy” happened when his solo album was being prepared, will it have any impact on his subsequent promotions. There are many instances where
artists have unintentionally violated the rules. For example, in the Korean program "Law of the Jungle", actress Lee Yeol-eum once went into the water and caught three "giant clams" and a snail.
At that time, the staff asked her to pick it, so she did so, thinking it was a giant clam. Everyone ate it. After eating, the police discovered that it was the Tridacna clams, an endangered species in Thailand.
At that time, the Thai police issued a call for accountability, and Li Lieyin faced up to 5 years in prison.
Although the matter seemed to be settled in the end, it also sounded the alarm to many artists and production teams. In a strange place, without knowing the local laws and regulations, it is best not to touch various creatures, otherwise it may happen at any time. It’s illegal to step on thunder!
And if you have done something and are reminded by netizens, don’t rush to refute the netizens. See if you have any problems first, otherwise you will be more likely to fall over.
