Mayday’s annual Hong Kong “May Date” is here again. In recent years, Mayday will choose to perform in Hong Kong in May as long as she can sing. However, this year was a stormy one, and things got off to a bad start...
This wave of performances was originally scheduled to start on April 30, with seven consecutive nights of singing on the waterfront in Central, Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, on the first night, the Hong Kong Observatory issued a yellow rainstorm signal. But Mayday's performance has already begun and can only continue. When
sang the last song "Stubborn", the weather suddenly changed and it rained heavily. The 20,000 people in the audience sang together despite the violent storm. The balloons in Ashin's hands were blown away. Even so, the fans were not extinguished. With enthusiasm, "I Sing Loudly in the Wind" became a reality...
However, considering safety issues, the organizer chose to suspend it, so the encore part of the performance became a live broadcast.
In the background, Mayday sang and chatted with the fans for more than half an hour in total. Other netizens who did not go to the scene could also watch the live broadcast, which was considered profitable for the fans, so even though the performance was interrupted on the first night, It's a bit regretful, but all the songs on the main set list have been sung, and everyone can still accept the result.
As a result, today, just a few hours before the performance, the oversized LED ball on the main stage of the concert caught fire!
At that time, there was a super-large LED ball on the stage that said "there is a time machine in the sky", and there were also 5 floating "Children of God are dancing 5 balls" as a visual extension. This was originally a device specially built for the concert, but today there is one The big ball suddenly burst into flames, sending out thick smoke, and fire trucks rushed to the scene to put out the fire.
As the concert was about to start, Believe Music announced that due to severe weather and heavy rains, some stage facilities were out of order. In order to ensure the safety of the audience and staff, tonight's performance has been postponed to May 9th.
As for the cause of the fire, I believe the music responded to the media saying, "Due to the bad weather, there was a situation with the stage facilities, which is being actively understood and dealt with. No one was injured in the incident, and it did not affect the operation of other stage facilities."
can only say that on May Day, This tour was really full of twists and turns.
Ever since bloggers questioned "lip-syncing" at the Shanghai concert last year, Mayday's performances have been controversial. In response to this, Ashin once wrote a long article saying that he did not lip-sync. The Paris concert was also broadcast live online, and he tried his best to respond with a high pitch. Netizens questioned.
This year, Mayday has not been silent, and it still announced that it will tour again. Some time ago, it performed a charity performance in Quanzhou. Not only did it not accept remuneration, it also donated 9 million to Quanzhou.
Ashin even took off the mic at one point during the performance to prove that he was on full mic.
However, some netizens believe that the relevant units have not announced the results of the Mayday lip-synching investigation for several months, saying that they will continue to pay attention to the matter, so the controversy about Mayday's performance has not really subsided.
As for the performance in Hong Kong on Mayday, the performance is a matter of opinion. However, with this weather and so many emergencies, it is indeed a bad start. Many mainland fans only have a few days off on May Day, and now the concert has been postponed to the 9th. I wonder if Mayday can still do a good job in dealing with the aftermath of the out-of-town fans?
What do you think of Mayday’s emergency crisis public relations for this concert?
