On the evening of September 26, Na Ying temporarily added Liu Huan’s “Curved Moon” to his Chengdu concert to pay tribute to him. Many netizens are worried whether the temporary additional singing will be approved? Do you face fines?
In this regard, the Chengdu Municipal Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau reported on September 29 that after verification, the relevant situation was Na Ying’s fragmented singing during the audience interaction session at the concert. The song was not sung in full, and it did not fall into the category of re-approval of changing the program.
The latest official statement has dispelled the concerns of some netizens. However, the questions involved in this matter do not seem to have been fully answered. If Na Ying did not sing in fragments, but sang the entire song in its entirety, would he be punished?
The cultural and tourism department has established an approval management system for commercial performances, requiring performances to be carried out strictly in accordance with the participants and program content reported in advance. There is no problem in the establishment of this system. The purpose of promulgating relevant regulations is to prevent various problems such as violations of laws and regulations as well as vulgar and vulgar hype in performances for the public, and to maintain the overall order of the performance market.
However, emphasizing performance supervision and reporting requirements does not mean completely depriving performers of the space to improvise on-site, interact with the audience, or make appropriate on-the-spot expressions based on real-life emergencies. The premise is that the new content does not have problems such as vulgarity or vulgarity. In short, the performance needs to abide by the rules and regulations, and at the same time, it should also maintain the necessary human kindness and warmth.
Looking at Na Ying’s concert this time, she sang “Curved Moon” on stage, which coincided with Liu Huan’s death, in order to express her deep condolences to the musician and long-time friend. Judging from the on-site feedback, this move was affirmed by the audience, adding warmth to the entire performance and conveying positive value orientation.
Moreover, as far as the regulations of the system itself are concerned, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. According to Article 16 of the Regulations on the Administration of Commercial Performances, when applying to hold commercial performances, the application materials submitted should include the program and its audio-visual materials. If a commercial performance needs to change the matters listed in the application materials, it must be resubmitted for approval in accordance with regulations.
Article 44 stipulates that those who change the performance organizer, participating cultural performance groups, actors or programs without re-submitting for approval shall be punished in accordance with regulations.
In other words, the programs applied for for commercial performances do not have to be changed, and they only need to be reapproved. However, there are “before” and “after” issues.
Art is meant to move people’s hearts, and human feelings and warmth are indispensable components of art. If a friend suddenly passes away, the performer cannot express any condolences on the public performance stage, which would appear inhumane. Of course, some netizens believe that the temporary addition of programs is a performance violation, which is completely understandable. It is normal for the public to have different views on performance supervision.
Many netizens are worried that this additional singing will result in punishment. This worry actually has two meanings: it not only reflects everyone’s respect for the performance supervision rules, but also reveals a concern that the relevant departments will over-enforce the law, thus compressing the normal space for improvisation and artistic expression on the stage.
For such problems, regulatory authorities should handle them based on the specific background of the incident and the actual performance effects, and strike a balance and coordination between institutional rules and on-site reasoning. The Chengdu Bureau of Culture and Tourism’s stance on Na Ying’s singing can be regarded as a flexible approach to the implementation of the regulations, and it has a safe grasp of the scale. Regulating the performance market is not to make performances lose their wonderful expressions and reduce human warmth, but to guide the performance industry to achieve a more healthy and orderly development.
