Recently, the keyword "Bach Loc's concert approved" has climbed to the top trends on Weibo, leading to a new debate surrounding actors encroaching on opening concerts.
According to Chinese media, the music performance program within the framework of the 10th anniversary of actor Bai Lu has been officially approved, expected to be held on June 27, at the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium (China).
The event is named "Just beautiful weather - Live music performance celebrating the 10th anniversary of Bach Loc", classified as "live music performance".
The dossier was submitted by Zhongcao Jiangsu Culture and Sports Industry Co., Ltd. and was officially approved by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Jiangsu province on April 30.
As soon as the news appeared, fans were extremely excited because the "10-year appointment" was about to become a reality. But at the same time, many skeptical opinions also appeared: what will the actors sing when opening a concert?
This is not an isolated case. In recent years, the wave of artists in the Chinese entertainment industry encroaching on opening concerts has become an extremely vibrant phenomenon.
Comedian Nhac Van Bang announced a concert tour, tickets priced at about 6 million VND sold out in 20 seconds.
MC Ta Na's concert in Chengdu sold out 15,000 tickets in just one minute, the discussion volume exceeded 1 billion views; ticket prices were even equal to or higher than many professional A-list singers.
Actress Trieu Lo Tu has just held her first personal concert at the large-scale IMPACT Arena in Bangkok, Thailand; with ticket prices ranging from 1.9 million to more than 7.5 million VND.
Some netizens frankly asked: "Do they have any typical musical works to offer this price?".
The space of professional singers seems to be shrinking. When artists only need to rely on the "nostalgia filter" and fans' feelings to easily sell tens of thousands of tickets, while some serious singers doing music have sluggish tours.
To prepare for this activity, Bach Loc temporarily stopped film work for half a year, directly participating in stage design and performance arrangement.
The program content includes performing songs, interacting with fans and looking back at the career path. Accompanying gifts include custom-ordered souvenirs and handwritten letters.
After the topic "10 Year Appointment" became hot search, hotel bookings in the East China Sea area increased sharply. Fans expressed their anticipation to meet their idol after a long time of missing him but also worried about ticket hunting and travel costs.
Some netizens believe that this is simply a gift in response to the affection between artists and fans. Bach Loc's team also emphasized that this activity is not for profit; the cost for the stage, art... of a performance is very high, with a high possibility of losing capital, in essence it is "a self-funded love project".
However, the opposing side argues that the fact that actors rush to open concerts is blurring professional boundaries and it is difficult for non-singer artists to bear the quality of performances at large stadiums.
However, some of Bach Loc's fans analyzed that her performance was not an official concert like Trieu Lo Tu's, but just a fan meeting (fan meeting) with both performances and interactions with fans.
Fan meetings are a very popular form of event organization in the Korean entertainment industry.
Last year, actor Lee Chae Min held a series of fan meetings in many Asian countries, after the success of the movie "The King's Majesty".
Actress Park Eun Bin once caused a fever at fan meetings when she had skillful dance performances no less than Kpop idols.
