The most fair thing in the entertainment industry is never the popularity of traffic, but the reputation and popularity accumulated over the years.
Yang Kun, who once had a high status in the music industry, dared to comment on his peers at will, and had an arrogant aura, has finally reached the point where public opinion has backlashed him.
Although he clearly has the outcome of the lawsuit, proactively donated all the compensation money, and acted magnanimously, he still cannot escape the ridicule of the entire Internet.
It seems to be an ordinary public opinion storm, but in fact, the controversy and arrogance accumulated for many years finally broke out at this moment.
楊坤勝訴
Recently, the Internet celebrity infringement dispute case that lasted for two years finally came to an end, and Yang Kun ushered in a complete legal victory.
Previously, Internet celebrity bloggers maliciously imitated and smeared Yang Kun, consuming other people’s images for a long time to gain traffic, which was a serious infringement and had no bottom line.
After multiple rounds of court trials, rejection of the other party’s appeal, and implementation of enforcement, the court finally ruled that the infringer publicly apologized and paid 315,000 yuan in compensation.
After winning the lawsuit, Yang Kun’s handling of the case was even more magnanimous. He directly announced that he would donate all the compensation to autism charity projects without retaining any penny.
We also publicly promise that the donation process will be transparent, the whereabouts of funds can be traced, we will actively accept supervision from the entire network, and we will not seek any personal gain from it.
It stands to reason that successful rights protection, full donation, and charity should have received praise from the entire network, and gained praise and respect from netizens.
But the reality is completely opposite. Public opinion is extremely divided. Instead of praising his style, the entire network is full of cynicism and doubts.
Some people questioned his showmanship, some dug up old accounts to deny his goodwill, and some bluntly said that he has a “too bad reputation and is unpopular in everything he does.”
The fundamental reason why his good deeds are not recognized and his winning cases are not sympathetic is that Yang Kun has caused too many controversies over the past many years and his popularity has already been overstretched.
The public’s negative impression of him is deeply ingrained, and it is no longer something that can be easily reversed by winning a lawsuit or performing a public service.
炮轟刀郎
Tracing back to the source of all the controversies, the most disturbing thing among netizens that they cannot let go of is the classic incident in which Yang Kun publicly “bombarded” Daolang many years ago.
At that time, Daolang became popular all over the country with singles such as “The First Snow in 2002”. The songs were sung all over the streets and created a phenomenon-level sales myth.
It was the national era that belonged to Daolang. Even ordinary people who did not understand music could hum his works casually, and the popularity among the people was unrivaled.
But just when Daolang became popular and became popular all over the Internet, Yang Kun, a senior in the professional music industry, publicly stood up and completely denied the value of Daolang’s music.
He sharply questioned, strongly criticized, and had an extremely arrogant attitude from multiple dimensions such as music professionalism, work aesthetics, industry contribution, and the logic of popularity.
In a public interview in 2004, Yang Kun left behind a controversial line that is still circulated repeatedly today, and directly asked the media and the public.
He questioned without mercy:
“Does he have music? Do you think it’s music?”
In just one sentence, he completely negated all of Daolang’s works and completely ignored the recognition and love of hundreds of millions of listeners.
In addition, Yang Kun further commented sharply on the quality of Daolang’s works, with words full of disdain and contempt.
He bluntly stated that Daolang’s works seriously lacked quality and were not worthy of the high record sales and popularity among the people.
In his subjective perception, music is music that is carefully polished, has depth and texture, and Daolang’s explosive works are not top-notch at all.
Not only did he deny the work itself, Yang Kun also deliberately questioned Daolang’s logic of becoming popular, believing that this phenomenon of becoming popular was very abnormal and strange.
He even said very arrogantly that what Daolang sang was just an ordinary old song. If he sang it himself, it would only be better and not worse.
In that era when the music scene was flourishing, Yang Kun regarded himself as a professional and judged his peers condescendingly, showing his arrogance to the fullest.
At that time, he was firmly in a high position in the music industry, with abundant resources and high popularity. He had the air of a senior figure in the industry and an arrogant figure.
Sarcastic Andy Lau
In fact, the Daolang incident is just the tip of the iceberg of Yang Kun’s vicious comments and arrogant judgment of others.
Over the years, he has frequently made surprising remarks with his straightforward persona, and has publicly commented on celebrities in the industry many times. Each of his remarks can stir up controversy across the Internet.
The habit of being open-mouthed and negating peers at will has gradually consumed all my popularity and industry reputation.
Among them, the most controversial controversy was that he publicly questioned the singing skills of the king Andy Lau, which completely aroused the collective dissatisfaction of fans across the Internet.
Yang Kun once openly stated in a live broadcast that, strictly speaking, Andy Lau is not a real professional singer at all.
He believes that Andy Lau’s aura as an actor is far greater than his ability as a singer. His singing skills and skills are mediocre, and his current status is only due to his fame.
Over the years, Yang Kun has habitually judged others by the highest standards, commented on his peers with arrogance, denied the achievements of others, and despised public aesthetics.
He always feels that his music aesthetics is the most professional and his knowledge is the most correct, but he ignores that music has different tastes and preferences.
There is no absolute hierarchy in music. Works that can touch people’s hearts, heal the audience, and spread to the public are considered good works.
Looking back now, Daolang, who was completely rejected by him back then, has already become a legend in the music industry, and his works can stand the test of time and are respected by others.
However, Yang Kun, who was once arrogant and a leader in the world, has repeatedly been involved in public controversy. His reputation has declined year by year, and his popularity has completely collapsed.
Even if he wins the lawsuit, defends his rights, makes donations to charity, and acts magnanimously, he will never be able to win back the goodwill and respect of the public.
As the saying goes, good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Feng Shui takes turns, and all the arrogance and meanness will one day come back to bite you.
The most true truth in the entertainment industry is that you should keep a thin line in life, act with humility, be overly conceited and deny others at will, and you will eventually pay a heavy price for your own arrogance.
