The organizer of the "Bubble Island Music and Art Festival" recently posted on Weibo, announcing that Taiwanese singer Tian Fuzhen will no longer participate in the event on May 2. Later, Tian Fuzhen forwarded Weibo to express regret. The farce that happened for a week is finally over. Netizens' boycott has come to fruition. Tian Fuzhen has been officially banned, and her "Taiwan independence" identity is also suspected to be confirmed.
On social media, some fans of Tian Fuzhen expressed dissatisfaction, believing that the official statement was vague and unconvincing, and questioned whether there were other reasons hidden behind it. Rumors about "Tian Fuzhen being banned" are rampant on the Internet, with some claiming that she has been restricted from performing due to political stance. Two years ago, after Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, arrived in Taiwan, Tian Fuzhen updated her news. In the photo, she was smiling and enjoying pasta.
Tian Fuzhen's words mentioned "slapping a swollen face to make a fat person", "the pasta tastes delicious and can win back a victory", etc. These words make people think more. After all, Pelosi is of Italian descent. This kind of joking words seems to convey more information. This was also the first time that Tian Fuzhen exposed her suspected Taiwanese independence identity, and she was banned from the mainland. Among mainland fan groups, some fans announced that they had deleted all music works about Tian Fuzhen from their mobile phones and computers to express their dissatisfaction and protest against her stance.
However, some fans said that it may be too hasty to boycott an artist without conclusive evidence. The embarrassing thing is: Tian Fuzhen did not explain this, which shows that she has long ago not cared about mainland fans. She has acquiesced in her Taiwanese independence status and prefers to block people. So why does Tian Fuzhen want to participate in the Tianjin Music Festival this time? Maybe I'm short of money recently? The appearance fees for performances in Mainland China are much higher than those in Taiwan.
Some people ridicule Tian Fuzhen for being "both responsible and established". If you have the ability, don't come to the mainland to make money for the rest of your life. Then you can speak freely. But in the end, I bowed to reality and gave up for five buckets of rice. In fact, this time the mainland gave Tian Fuzhen the opportunity to correct her mistakes, but she did not seize it. The organizer of the "Bubble Island Music and Art Festival" gave Tian Fuzhen a copy, but Tian Fuzhen deleted the three most important words - family. It shows that Tian Fuzhen does not regard us as a family. Why do we need to let her come to the mainland to make money?
There are many singers in Taiwan, including Tian Fuzhen. Moreover, many mainland singers also have Tian Fuzhen's influence, and music festivals can easily find replacements. However, after Tian Fuzhen was banned, the impact on S.H.E was too great. The most successful girl group in the history of the Chinese music scene, they no longer have the opportunity to hold concerts together in the mainland. In the Internet age, a ban may mean the disappearance of all an artist's works. Tian Fuzhen's personal musical works are already in danger. Fans of
s.h.e are extremely worried about the risks that the combined works may face. This is a serious blow to the s.h.e brand. Tian Fuzhen's situation also provides a warning to other public figures: Public figures need to be more cautious in their speech and behavior, taking into account their potential impact on society and fans. At the same time, this also reflects the current sensitivity of society towards the stance of Taiwanese artists. Any inappropriate words or deeds may become the trigger for being banned.
