The first anniversary of Coco Lee’s death is approaching, which coincides with the Golden Melody Awards held at the end of the month.
officially announced that it has decided to add an event in memory of Coco to the event, and the guest performer is Wang Leehom, a friend he has known for 20 years.
This decision was made after official consultation with Coco Lee’s family. After all, the friendship between the two is well known to the outside world.
met each other at Sony when they were around 20 years old.
As you can imagine, the relationship between seniors and siblings is very close.
When Coco passed away, Leehom Wang specially posted a long article in touching memory of Coco Lee.
is so considerate among many friends in the circle.
Regarding this, Wang Leehom expressed that he had complicated emotions when he accepted the invitation.
On the one hand, he was honored to be a guest performer, but on the other hand, when he thought about the fact that Coco had left again, he was filled with sadness.
As soon as this news came out, countless people expressed that they were very happy and looked forward to Wang Leehom's performance at the Golden Melody Awards.
However, in less than two days, Wang Leehom resigned as a guest performer.
Following this, the official also canceled the event in memory of Coco.
People's mood is like riding a roller coaster, quickly hitting rock bottom.
was originally a happy thing, but who stopped it?
In the final analysis, this incident caused dissatisfaction on the other side.
They felt that Wang Leehom was involved in scandals, and Coco had been cheated and betrayed by her husband during her lifetime.
The official actions of the Golden Rooster Award are undoubtedly playing a "hell joke" and are very disrespectful to Coco, which is certainly inappropriate.
The strong pressure from public opinion on the other side forced the authorities to renegotiate with Coco Lee's family.
But this action is undoubtedly spreading salt on others. What more can the family of
coco say? They are in great grief, and I am grateful that the official is willing to hold a memorial event for Coco.
Since public opinion is against it, naturally we cannot force it, otherwise it may be interpreted as a stalker by public opinion.
In the end, Min Lee’s family simply politely refused to reply by saying, “It’s inappropriate to ask family members.”
When public opinion persists, it is conceivable that Leehom Wang, who is caught in the middle, feels the most uncomfortable.
In order to end this matter quickly, he compromised and chose to resign as a guest performer.
Regarding this farce, voices from the mainland seemed furious.
Regarding the Wang Leehom scandal, anyone who surfs the Internet every day knows that he is innocent.
has four lawsuits, one each in Taiwan and the United States, and two in the Mainland. Wang Leehom won both cases.
It is inappropriate for the other side to use this as an explanation. It is obviously a cover-up.
They look down on Wang Leehom. Cultural Taiwan independence is the essence.
Leehom Wang has always been low-key and patriotic.
sang "Full Fire" in the United States, "Descendants of the Dragon" in Taiwan, and "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" in mainland China.
This is not to mention the many cultural activities he participated in, large and small.
Earlier, he even took the initiative to write songs for the mainland to promote Chinese national culture.
Because Wang Leehom’s stance is more dazzling than the sun, he has also been slandered and abused by some people whose stance is unclear.
Even loving Coco Lee is a lie on their part.
Last year, the nomination list for the Golden Melody Awards was announced. Coco Lee was not eligible for the Special Contribution Award due to "inconsistent status."
What is "identity mismatch"? This depends on Coco Lee’s stance.
Who is she? A person who expressed his attitude to the mainland many times during his lifetime that he was Chinese, wore a cheongsam from singing to the Oscars, and was proud of being Chinese from beginning to end.
The meaning of the Golden Melody Award couldn't be more obvious. Just because Coco Lee's position is contrary to theirs, no matter how great his contribution was during his lifetime, it would never violate his principles.
If we continue to dig deeper, everyone will know the heart of Sima Zhao who won the Golden Melody Award.
On the eve of the announcement of the Special Contribution Award, Wikipedia had preset that the winner was Coco Lee.
With Coco Lee's resume, it would be easy for her to win this award.
As a result, the official released the rules that Coco Lee’s birthplace does not comply with at the critical moment.
Who can see this and not say that the method of hyping up the popularity of the Golden Melody Awards is quite clumsy?
Then there is the controversy surrounding the tribute in the past two days. Don’t look at the fact that the Golden Melody Awards are dominated by the opinions of the Lee family. In fact, all responsibilities are passed on to the other party and Leehom Wang.
Knowing that Leehom Wang was staunchly patriotic, he still invited Leehom as a guest. He blamed it by saying that he was invited by Coco Lee's family. Who would be attending the award ceremony? Would the organizer know about it?
After Wang Leehom was confirmed to attend, he immediately jumped out and led the trolls to denounce it. This routine should not be too obvious.
Again, if the Li family doesn't refuse politely, is it possible that they will bargain with you?
If it were another award, it might just be a direct tribute. How can the Golden Melody Award be so full of nonsense and nonsense, sowing discord over and over again.
In this Golden Melody Awards, from the nomination to the performance, Coco Lee's popularity was suppressed from beginning to end. In the end, Coco Lee did not perform or win any awards, squeezing out every bit of her value.
A Golden Melody Award without any sincerity is not worthy of the diva Coco Lee who is so persistent and determined in music.
Moreover, the Golden Melody Award, like the Golden Horse Award, has already gone downhill. It is just a provincial award, and it doesn’t matter that Coco Lee doesn’t want it.
So this is definitely not the regret of Coco, but the regret of the Golden Melody Award.
Because the so-called awards and contributions should be inclusive and open to the entire Chinese music scene.
Golden Melody Awards obviously did not meet this standard when facing Coco Lee.
Being a niche person can make you look particularly mysterious, but if you are too niche, you may feel like you are just trying to entertain yourself.
In order not to make himself special, the Golden Melody Awards also invited Lin JJ, Zhang Huimei, Jolin Tsai, and Eason Chan to play.
As a result, it allows people to be shortlisted to participate in the ceremony to increase their star power, but they will not give awards when the time comes.
They are not stupid, they know that one single can be shortlisted, and they will have a great chance of accompanying them.
maybe once or twice, they can also sell face for the Golden Melody Awards.
If you keep using them to gain popularity, do you think people will still be willing to come?
Even if they don't say their own wishes, just talking about their fans' saliva will drown the organizer.
After all, they are obviously very capable and have come so many times, but not a single award was awarded. Instead, it was reserved for those politically correct singers who are not as good as others. It is strange that the Golden Melody Award was not questioned in the end.
Over time, the Golden Melody Awards have increasingly fallen into a strange circle - "isolating" the whole world while "isolating" itself.
plus a Golden Horse Award, they can be regarded as representing the entire Taiwan entertainment industry.
In terms of "isolating" the world, Golden Horse is even worse than Golden Song.
Gong Li has the most say on this point.
She was offended by the Golden Horse Awards twice. Once she was accompanied by a pigeon, which made her so angry that she threatened to never come again. Another time was to sell Ang Lee's face and come to the Golden Horse Awards to be a judge.
As a result, this last time, because of the inappropriate remarks made by a local director, Gong Li was embarrassed on the spot and refused to award the award.
Not only Gong Li, but all the mainland artists present at the time were all ashamed.
When Xu Zheng came on stage to accept the award, he even said that the Golden Horse Award was unprofessional.
There was originally a banquet after the Golden Melody Awards, but all the mainland artists left early.
Ang Lee's frightened and embarrassed state at that time perfectly verified the outcome of the Golden Horse Awards - it got worse and worse until it became a stage for Taiwanese stars to entertain themselves.
Let’s think of xd guys like Ke Zhendong. He had an accident in 2014, but he quickly made a comeback in Taiwan in 2016. Not to mention being nominated for the Golden Horse Award many times, he never had to worry about running out of movies to film. By the way, he also showed us his connotation when making money from movies.
"Time Management Master" Luo Zhixiang and Aaron Yan, who have the same bad record, so why not? From our point of view,
's personal ethics have already gone beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, so the ban is considered a light one.
But on the other side, they can easily make money within two days.
Comparison Hu Ge recently visited Taiwan and just said "We don't distinguish between each other", and he was yelled at by netizens on the other side of the Taiwan Strait.
It seems that Taiwan Entertainment's "tolerance" is only for its own artists. As long as they have not committed the heinous crime of murder and arson, even if they are promiscuous xd, they can basically make a full comeback after a period of silence.
It is obvious that Taiwan Entertainment has gone further and further on the road of being "isolated" and at the same time, it has become more and more unlimited.
So how brave are Taiwanese artists who are under huge pressure and still have to express their firm stance?
Wang Leehom leads by example. I hope that we here will not let the wind be the rain and let down the hearts of others.
