Chapter 569: Chapter 379: No Victors (7K) (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2
For example, Zhang Dong made a statement on his Bilibili post:
[There’s no need for such resentment. This kind of collaboration is actually a good thing. Our Mr. Moonlight and Miss Cat are broad-minded people, they never care about such things.]
[Moreover, no matter what, Maozi is a very talented composer. Collaborating with the Chinese Music Industry is also a great help in promoting classical music for us.]
Zhang Dong’s statement received a lot of support from people.
Many rational fans also thought that everyone’s reaction was a bit over the top.
It’s just a concert, elevating it to the level of "backstabbing" is really too much.
In response to this, Zhang Dong was himself very frustrated.
It’s clearly just a small matter.
Why such a big reaction?
"....."
And after seeing many people’s comments, Zhang Dong understood.
It’s undeniable there are indeed people who are passionate about classical music and treat it as a belief.
But most people really have a complete "fandom mentality."
Because they see their idols collaborating with a rival, regardless of the content of the collaboration, they feel disgusted.
Especially since the collaborator was someone who had a big conflict with their idol before.
In everyone’s eyes,
Moonlight and Cat are simply little angels!
They are harmless, what do they know?
Just like that, they naively got involved with the idiot Mao Weiang and the idiot Bai Junze.
They have no idea how serious this is!
So, as fans, they must correct their idol’s behavior even more!
Thinking about this, Zhang Dong gave a bitter smile.
"Mr. Moonlight... they simply don’t understand your good intentions."
This kind of behavior,
is actually more like fans indulging in their own world.
Many people listen to classical music just for the sake of showing off their taste.
Now hearing about collaborating with pop music.
Their pretentiousness is immediately brought down.
How could they not be flustered and exasperated?
This is the most ironic part for Zhang Dong.
So many people claim they are true fans of Moonlight and Cat.
But they’ve never seriously considered Moonlight and Cat’s dreams.
Their dream is to promote classical music.
Yet many fans never for a moment hope that the music they love could go viral.
They don’t care about the significance of this concert or how much attention it could bring to classical music.
They only care that their "niche treasure" has been tainted by pop music.
"Quite good...."
Zhang Dong looked at the computer screen, eyes full of determination,
"This just further illustrates the importance of this collaboration!"
.....
The music industry is in chaos.
The Chinese Music Industry side is also in turmoil.
Especially those frontline singers and kings who stood up for Maozi during the previous Weibo battle.
After seeing the news that Maozi and Moonlight and Cat were going to collaborate.
Each one suddenly... put on a clown mask!
It was truly embarrassing!
King Chen, who has cooperated with Maozi for many years and has been in the entertainment industry for so long, has witnessed many storms, and considers Mao Weiang a brother in the industry.
But when he saw this news, it was like his eyes went dark.
Honestly, he’s already a king.
Normally, he would hardly comment on anything or get involved in any controversy, his defenses are top-notch in the industry.
And now,
Looking back at King Chen’s actions.
During the most intense time on Weibo, he risked losing fans by posting a statement in support of Mao Weiang and pop music, with sharp words targeting Moonlight and Cat.
After the Dragon Violin Cup semifinals, his Weibo was overwhelmed with abuse, but as a king... he had to maintain his dignity and his brotherly image, or how could fans trust him in the future? So he didn’t delete the post, letting it stand while it got 999+ insults.
And now, the cooperation between Mao Weiang and Moonlight and Cat is widely known.
His post is still hanging there, alone...
Even now, Moon Cat Fans occasionally come to spit at it.
A generation’s king of the Chinese Music Industry.
Maintained dignity for thirty years... never thought he’d experience such a painful defeat near the end of his career!
He... will never forget this tragic day!
The stars who once stepped in had such thoughts.
And the fans, even more so.
Unlike fans in the music circle who feel Moonlight and Cat have been "tainted".
Fans in the entertainment circle directly labeled this as "French behavior."
[Surrender... this is outright surrender!]
[After losing the semifinals, they couldn’t handle the online criticism, so they chose to reconcile with the other side?]
[Damn it! I was ready to fight classical music all my life... and you surrendered to them first?!]
[Can’t understand... it’s incomprehensible!!]
[....]
For many netizens who were lambasted head to toe during the Weibo battle, they were almost exploding with anger.
In their eyes,
Mao Weiang, who has such a massive following and status.
In this most intense time of conflict, took the initiative to seek cooperation with Moonlight and Cat.....
Isn’t this surrender?
Normally, after losing a match, shouldn’t they regroup, bring everyone together and rally again?
This was simply being subdued by Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu in the semifinals!
No way out now, so trying to reconcile in this manner.
...It’s so pathetic!
Many people can accept their idols making mistakes.
But they can’t accept their idol being weak and reckless.
