Chapter 865 Cultural Desert
Although Singapore is a very economically developed region like Hong Kong, it is known as the fourth Asian region along with Taiwan and South Korea.
Hong Kong and Taiwan have fully inherited Chinese traditional culture, and South Korea also has its own unique cultural heritage. Although 75% of Singapore's citizens are Chinese, Singapore's official language is English. For a long time, Singapore did not allow schools to teach Chinese, and even the only Nanyang University, which teaches Chinese, was forced to close.
Therefore, Singapore is equivalent to castrating itself and abandoning its precious traditional Chinese cultural wealth in vain. The culture of Nanyang is relatively backward, and European and American culture is slowly promoted in Singapore, making Singapore a cultural desert. Although its economy ranks among the top in the Nanyang region, in terms of cultural soft power, it is even worse than that of the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar and other countries.
The underdeveloped cultural industry has made it hardly any local singers in Singapore who can make a move. Even in the 21st century, popular singers such as Tanya Chua, Lin Junjie, Sun Yanzi, and Adu have emerged, but they have also made their debut through Taiwanese record companies, rather than being made famous by Singapore record companies.
Han Jin knew this, so he did not intend to invite local singers from Singapore to help. But of course he couldn't say this directly, otherwise the Singapore media reporters would be furious, and he probably would have become the most unpopular artist in Singapore, so he turned the blame on Su Jitian.
Su Jitian smiled, "We are also in contact with several singers, hoping to promote their cooperation with Jin Shao."
"Who are there exactly?" Another reporter went to the bottom of the question.
Su Jitian became depressed when he heard this. He just said it was just an excuse.
Han Jin didn't let go, which performing arts company rushed to the stage to send people away!
If any cat and dog can perform on the same stage with him, wouldn’t it lower the level of others?
"This is not available for the time being. After the list is confirmed, we will inform you in time." Su Jitian wiped his sweat and said.
Han Jin smiled and whispered, "Answer two more questions, let's get over."
Su Jitian nodded. In fact, today's press conference was just a formality, so that the reporter could take a photo and have some photos tomorrow.
"There are two more questions. Please ask them carefully." Su Jitian reminded again.
I heard that there were only two questions, so the reporters suddenly became cautious and quickly deleted some less important gossip questions, leaving behind the questions they wanted to ask the most.
"Mr. Han, you have said before that you will retire from the music industry after this world tour. Is it true? If it is true, then what is the reason?" After a reporter got the opportunity to ask a question, he immediately seized this precious opportunity.
After hearing his question, the reporters' ears rose up.
This question is something that many people here want to ask, and anyone else wants to ask Han Jin why!
After all, he is still so young now. Even if he retires next year, he will be only twenty-one years old. He is even younger than many people who have just debuted. It is a waste to retire at such a young age.
And he is still so famous now. If he is disheartened and withdrawing from the music scene due to his decline in popularity, it is also a reason. But even though he is very popular now, he is still a world-class star. It is really hard to understand that he wants to retire with such a high reputation.
Besides, he is still very talented, and he is not as talented as Jiang Lang, and he can no longer create. Retiring now would be a waste of his talent.
In short, people were surprised by his retreat and couldn't understand it. They wanted to ask him why.
"This is exactly two questions." Han Jin did not answer the question, and smiled first, "First I will answer the first question, will you really retire after the tour end? Yes!" He said firmly.
Seeing his answer with such a certainty, many reporters were a little surprised. In fact, Han Jin retired seemed to be just one of his propaganda techniques, and the purpose was to call on fans to come and buy tickets.
After the tour is over, he will find a reason to stay. Anyway, artists and politicians cannot believe what they say. But he didn't expect Han Jin to say so utterly without hesitation or trying to leave a way out for himself. This surprised the reporters.
"Now, answer the second question, why do I want to retire?" Han Jin said with a deep face, "Actually, this reason has something to do with you..."
After hearing what Han Jin said, the reporters looked at each other, but they really didn't know what he meant.
"Everyone noticed that before the press conference just now, staff drove several media reporters out?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
Everyone nodded. They had no reason to be so forgetful that what happened fifteen minutes ago.
"Those reporters must be here to know their identities." Han Jin said, "Sing Chew Daily, Oriental Daily... are my old enemies. I can't really break away from them when I retire this time."
After hearing what Han Jin said, the reporters here were all excited.
For the media, bad news is good news. It is best to have natural disasters happen every day, so the media will make a fortune by selling news.
This time, Han Jin had a fight with media such as Sin Chew Daily, Oriental Daily, and this was the pace of war.
One side is Han Jin, which is famous all over the world and has a very popular place in the Nanyang region, and the other side is two famous media with a long history and a well-known one in the Nanyang region. It would be a great show to tear it down.
"Everyone may know that in the past six months, I have been maliciously attacked by many media, false reports, and deliberately smeared..." Han Jin said.
Everyone here nodded. Han Jin was slandered by the right-wing media and was later accused of shooting Zou Wenhuai's murderer. It was also reported in the Nanyang area, causing a great sensation.
"Although these reports were clarified later, they have exhausted me physically and mentally, and have also made me disheartened by the entertainment industry. So I decided to retire from the music industry after the world tour." Han Jin finally explained, "I also hope that my withdrawal will make the entertainment industry less disputes."
When all the media reporters here were very sorry to hear him say this.
Such a talented and in his prime, genius musician like this was disheartened by the deliberate poisoning and smearing of some media, which was really disgusting!
