Tian Peng, a member of Jiu Duan, admitted that his words brought great trouble to Long Kuan Jiu Duan. It started with the Music Billboard Awards Ceremony in March 2005. At that time, Jiu Duan won the Best Newcomer Award and said, "I'm sorry that all the bands under Modern Sky, where my supermarket band is located, didn't win the award." . It is this sentence that makes Long Kuan Jiu Duan's Wen Jing record company very embarrassed and annoyed, and it also becomes the most direct reason why Jiu Duan was finally abandoned by the company. The reason given by the company is simple-an inappropriate sentence is likely to offend people. Therefore, the combination of length, width and nine segments became the victim, and the company unilaterally announced its dissolution. Tian Peng, like a TV story, got the news that he was sentenced to death from the newspaper.
After parting ways with Long Kuan for three months, now Tian Peng has been able to accept the reality calmly, but he is helpless, calling himself a "nobody" and will find another master in the future, but he should be ready to be kicked away at any time.
A word causes trouble.
A rising group, their names are very strange, their behaviors and even their clothes are a little "different" to ordinary people, and their speeches seem illogical and a little suspected of nonsense. The problem only appears in their few words, and "disaster comes from the mouth" is already the best "verification" for them.
A month after Tian Peng said the wrong thing, rumors about "Long Kuan Jiu Duan" being "hidden in the snow" by the record company were rampant. In the following April, many media reporters received an open letter "Long Kuan Jiu Duan escaped from the music scene" in the name of Wen Jing Record Company, which wrote: "We are actually a little at a loss, a little afraid that we can't do better in the future, and we are not even used to being' stars'.
In order to prove to the parties, Tian Peng's answer is-dissolution, not his and Long Kuan's idea. "This is the company, we don't know. My dad read the newspaper and told me that his head was big at that time. We have been dissolved for a long time, almost three months. "
How to define the breakup of Long Kuan Jiu Duan?
Tian Peng: The company didn't want to cooperate with me at first, but wanted to deal with Long Kuan's private affairs.
You were fired from the company for saying the wrong thing?
Tian Peng: The biggest problem is billboards. Another time, because there was a troublemaker in the middle, we missed an activity, which was considered to have hurt us.
When did you think the company was going to break you up?
Tian Peng: More than two months ago, before sending an open letter, the company said that you should either write songs at home during this time. I think the publicity in the past six months is quite tiring, and I may have overdrawn in some way, so I won't feel like a bolt from the blue (facing dissolution), but I didn't expect to be separated because of such a thing.
Didn't you communicate with the company afterwards?
Tian Peng: Since then, the company has stopped talking to me. Both the company and I feel that there is nothing to communicate. I don't think I'm fit to be an artist either, so I just quit.
Are you two too strong?
Tian Peng: We are obedient. Usually, we seldom put forward excessive opinions. This company is what it says, and we have hardly confronted it. We are not out to make trouble, but to make good relations. There is no need to make everyone feel particularly annoying, but the two of us may be too eye-catching.
Jiu Duan left and Long Kuan stayed.
A multiple-choice question is placed in front of Long Kuan. As Tian Peng's departure is a foregone conclusion, Long Kuan has two choices, either to start a new enterprise with Tian Peng or to stay in the company for further development. In fact, Long Kuan's later choice completely ruined the possibility of the reorganization of Longkuan Jiu Duan.
In the face of such a big event, they actually solved it with only one phone call. They were very calm with each other and didn't mean to blame each other at all. "After talking with the company, I (Tian Peng) only asked Long Kuan, and she said she wanted to stay in the company for one night. The next day, she said that she wanted to stay in the company. It's nothing. She is an independent, independent musician with a perfect music system. There is no need to interfere with each other. We won't insist on 100 for more than one name. I don't think this is necessary. "
Although they are completely unified in aesthetic views and musical concepts, in life, the nine parts of Long Kuan are almost different, even reaching the level of mutual disgust. "We are not very good friends, but we have a collision in music and are completely irrelevant in life. Because of the differences in age and gender, it is impossible to become good friends. We walked together for eight years and were independent of each other, otherwise we would have become a master-slave relationship. "
However, the complete breakup of Long Kuan Jiu Duan still made Tian Peng feel a little sorry. "The company initially asked us to continue to create, but now it is a waste of time, but Long Kuan and I may cooperate in a few years. It is a very good thing to do the nine sections of Longkuan underground. I admit that I have many opportunities in Long Kuan. "
Just a nobody
Tian Peng once again recalled his performance at the award ceremony that day. Although he can only accept the company's decision, the ending is still an accident for him. If impulsive gaffes were the direct reason for his leaving the record company, what was the root cause? Just because Tian Peng "spoke carelessly", his price was too high, and the loss of the company was too great. In the face of our question, Tian Peng replied: "According to the royalties currently reported to me by the company, the company is not profitable, and they say that the sales volume is very small."
Money is the key.
"Their rights are always the highest. People have power and influence, so there is no need to spend so much money with us. Companies are games for the rich. "
"If you provoke it, you will provoke it. Waiters may never serve well. You are satisfied with a hundred things, but you are not satisfied with one thing. You are really not in the mood to serve others, let others play and make others happy. "
"The contract may not be that important in China, and this is what happened when we signed the contract. The contract is only for the company to bind the artists. People like us won't take the contract to court. The company won't give me money. There is no need for the weak group to compete with the strong group for anything, because they can't compete. It is normal for you to suffer some losses. Don't ordinary people suffer losses all day? This is not the first time. Isn't it normal that you have no right or potential to suffer? How much more legal fees do you think I can charge? And it will take a year or two to go to court, and I may not be able to win. I have no money to fight this lawsuit. "
"I can't help it when things happen, because you are a nobody, and some things will eventually be forgotten. Some people say why not hype it up and hold a press conference? I said, who do you think I am? There's no need for everyone to die together. There's no point in fighting any longer. What am I fighting for? My reputation? I think those are all manifestations of incompetence. "
I thought Tian Peng was very angry and even made a move of "leaving his position", but Tian Peng sitting in front of us looked unusually calm. Although he said something with the color of "anger", he almost used a calm tone, as if everything had been normal for a long time and he could be so calm at a young age. Later, I listened to Tian Peng talk about "nobody" several times, and the tone was obviously full of sadness and helplessness of nobody.
At the end of the interview, Tian Peng told us that he would sign a contract with the company in the future, and he was ready to be fired by the company at any time, because he had his own ideals, and he hoped that his music would generate new value among another group of people. But the requirements are very low. "As long as you let me live, you can accept anything and defile me casually. What can you do if you don't do this? " I am a small person, and I have only a little value left. Whoever can use it will use it. "
