As soon as the news came out, it topped the Weibo hot search list, and caused an uproar among the people. After all, as we all know, Deng Ziqi signed a contract with Hummingbird since his debut, and the two parties have been with each other for ten years. Remain.
Hummingbird’s boss Zhang Dan fell in love with 15-year-old Deng Ziqi at a glance in the SpiceItUp joint school singing competition and invited her to become Hummingbird’s contracted singer. It can be said that Zhang Dan is Deng Ziqi’s talent and also her music career. the most important person. Just like the first sentence in Deng Ziqi's Weibo: Apart from my father, you were the men I trusted most in my life...
In order not to affect fans, Deng Ziqi said in the statement: And As long as Hummingbird does not cancel the 8 concerts that have been officially announced as sold out, I will fulfill the announced announcement.
As soon as the announcement of the termination of Deng Ziqi’s contract with Hummingbird came out, fans clapped their hands and applauded: He can finally leave the "Vampire Bird"! Why do fans hate their idol’s agency so much? Then read on and you’ll find the answer.
After Deng Ziqi issued a statement, Hummingbird ostensibly posted a Weibo response to the matter. The statement said, "I only know that G.E.M. and the people around her intend to handle their personal music career independently. Although our contract with G.E.M. The contract will not expire until 2022..." It is implied that Deng Ziqi is leaving Hummingbird for certain interests, and breach of contract comes first. During Deng Ziqi’s Macau concert, fans first discovered that someone else had torn down the large poster outside the venue...
Then there was a problem with the stage venue before the performance, causing the concert that was supposed to start at 8 o'clock to be postponed to 10 o'clock There was no opening, and all the fans shouted for refunds. Later, Deng Ziqi posted an apology on Weibo: I asked the technical staff, and they said it was a technical failure. There were two large lifting platforms on the stage that suddenly stopped moving before the opening... p>
You must know that many fans travel thousands of miles to watch Deng Ziqi's concert by flying, taking boats, taking vacations, or taking time off. When such a situation occurs, fans suspect that the petty hummingbird did it deliberately to retaliate against Deng Ziqi. , after all, there has been no equipment failure in so many tours, so why did such an incident happen at the critical moment of terminating the contract?
Some people also revealed that Deng Ziqi mentioned going out to apologize to the audience in person during a live broadcast to comfort fans, but was rejected by the staff. Fortunately, the concert went on smoothly, but according to netizens, Deng Ziqi received no compensation at all for the eight concerts after the contract was terminated, and even the transportation expenses had to be paid for by herself.
Faced with various opinions from the outside world, Hummingbird once again issued a statement in response to its relationship with Deng Ziqi, stating that the contract between the two parties has not yet been reached, and that it will never accept the content of the contract termination statement issued by Deng Ziqi.
In addition, the statement also specifically emphasized that Hummingbird fully owns the copyright of all musical works produced or collaborated by Deng Ziqi when the contract is in effect. Then Hummingbird Music sued Deng Ziqi over contract issues, accusing her of unilateral breach of contract that caused the company to lose hundreds of millions.
Some attentive netizens discovered that the name Deng Ziqi has been trademarked by Hummingbird Company. In this way, Deng Ziqi may not be able to continue to use the name Deng Ziqi after the contract with Hummingbird is terminated.
The name is just a code name. Fans like her as a person rather than the name. However, if the copyright of the song is not in your hands, not only will your hard work be in vain, but even singing your own songs will be considered infringement.
Subsequently, the media asked Deng Ziqi for confirmation, and the response was that Hummingbird had breached the contract first, and Hummingbird threatened her to renew her contract with the company on the grounds of the "I Am a Singer" final, otherwise she would not be allowed to participate. The contract signed in 2014 has come into effect. Deng Ziqi has not breached the contract and will continue to use the name Deng Ziqi.
Do you still remember the controversy when Deng Ziqi was openly dissed by Hong Tao: If you don’t change the song, we will change the person? Deng Ziqi can be said to be the biggest dark horse of that season of "I Am a Singer", but Deng Ziqi's name is not on the list of singers in the "I Am a Singer Summit".
The reason why it went viral on the Internet was that Deng Ziqi wanted to sing her own song, and the director wanted her to cover it, but Deng Ziqi firmly disagreed, and the program team had no choice but to remove her from the list.
For a time, Deng Ziqi was labeled as a big star, ungrateful, and arrogant one by one.
The truth was revealed to the world. It turned out that the person who disagreed with the song change was not Deng Ziqi at all, but Zhang Dan, the boss of Hummingbird. In order to let Deng Ziqi promote the new song, he actually said when Hong Tao called and asked to change the song: "Your program is important, so let's change it!"
As a result, Deng Ziqi has been misunderstood by the public for many years.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance. After Hummingbird sued Deng Ziqi, Ziqi appealed to the High Court under her real name, Deng Shiying, and countersued Hummingbird and CEO Zhang Dan. She also claimed that the contract with Hummingbird had already expired and she asked her to create The copyright of the song and lyrics was transferred to his own name, and he claimed from Hummingbird that it had not paid Deng Ziqi singing fees for 40 Queen of Hearts concerts.
At this point, fans knew that Deng Ziqi’s concerts in the past two years actually generated zero revenue, and all the money earned went into the company’s pockets.
Faced with various accusations, Hummingbird Company posted a long Weibo post to describe the training of Deng Ziqi over the years and the difficulty of the company, but no one was willing to buy it.
Some fans listed Hummingbird's "seven deadly sins" to accuse them of injustice and various "crimes" they committed against Deng Ziqi. Hummingbird is not a very big company. It had several signed artists in the early years, but none of them have released new works. Basically, it can be said that there is only one signed artist, Deng Ziqi.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Deng Ziqi supports the entire company by herself, but Hummingbird has repeatedly squeezed her and tested her bottom line. This is why Deng Ziqi's fans have always been dissatisfied with the company.
Deng Ziqi posted on Weibo to announce that the views of her personal video account exceeded 1 billion. At the same time, she announced: "From now on, I will no longer use the GEMblog account" and reminded fans "If you still see this account in the future, Update, please know that is no longer me, haha!”
When everyone was complaining about her, she comforted her fans: she learned to swim after being thrown into the swimming pool; she was exiled to the ocean. , only then will the treasure be discovered.
What Deng Ziqi lacks most is courage and strength. When she was criticized by countless people for being a big star at the "I Am a Singer Summit", Deng Ziqi, who was under huge pressure from public opinion, uninstalled Weibo and stayed at home without going out. During those gloomy days, music became her only passion. rely on.
So, she wrote the song "New Heartbeat".
Deng Ziqi, who is passionate about leather pants, was ridiculed by the entire Internet as the "Queen of Leather Pants". She responded generously by wearing leather pants with "PIKU" written on the stage.
After being teased by netizens for her elephant legs, she insisted on working out. Now the style of the music video is like a fairy descending to earth. Many people are waiting to see Deng Ziqi's talents come to an end, but the fact is that Deng Ziqi has been growing from "Bubble", "Together No matter how far away", "Love You" to "New Heartbeat", "Single Track" and then to "Bubble" as soon as it was released. The popular "Light Years Away" and "Countdown"...
This little girl has huge energy in her body. Some singers may only have one song in their lifetime, but you may It is difficult to say which song is Deng Ziqi's best work, because she has endless talent and inspiration, and every time she releases a new song, she will bring new surprises to people.
