On the evening of September 22, Chinese actress Bai Lu held a concert and fan meeting to celebrate her 30th birthday in Shanghai.
At the event, she performed songs from her recently released debut album "My Odyssey". But as soon as the videos of Bai Lu performing went viral on social media, they received mixed opinions.
Many viewers criticized Bai Lu for her bad singing and poor dancing skills. The keyword “Too hard to hear” climbed to the top of Weibo’s search trends with high discussion.
However, there are opinions that this is an event Bai Lu organized specifically for her fans. She is also an actress, not a singer, so she cannot be too demanding about her singing voice.
On stage, Bai Lu tearfully thanked the fans. The actress emotionally shared: “I have never felt that I can bring positive energy to so many people. This is the reason why I always persist in participating in Running Man. If my existence can make you feel full of energy, it has a great meaning.”
Bai Lu also said that her health condition is not very good. But she will still try to bring the best works to the audience. Bai Lu hopes that fans will believe in her acting.
Bai Lu has 3 upcoming TV series waiting to air: "White Moon Fan Xing", "Lin Jiang Xian" and "Northern Up".
Previously, Bai Lu caused controversy when he released the album "My Odyssey" consisting of 3 songs, and announced a concert on September 22.
The event was announced as free admission, but later only fans who purchased merchandise were given a chance to draw for the concert. An album costs 12 yuan and merchandise costs between 35 and 185 yuan.
This caused the beauty of "Security as Dream" to be criticized by many people for blatantly extorting money from fans.
After receiving mixed reactions, Bai Lu's company posted an apology, announced that they would no longer sell merchandise and would give away free tickets to the new song's performance.
At the event on September 22, fans who attended were given a gift bag worth about 1,000 yuan by Bai Lu, including a belt, foundation, mask, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, candy, yogurt... and a handwritten letter that she had prepared a month ago.
