With the talent show being completely stopped, the major radio stations turned around and played the trick of the return of the veteran, from "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" to "Brother Who Cut through the Thorns", both the topic degree and the stage effect did gain a lot of heat.
Playing memory killing, and then showing mature charm, it has indeed made many former kings try the taste of reaching the peak again, such as Tranquility, Zhang Yuqi, Chen Xiaochun, etc., but from the results of the final game, it can be clearly seen that the power of capital cannot be underestimated.
In fact, many of the contestants participating in the show are the originators and predecessors of the draft industry, such as An Youqi, the champion of the first "Super Girl".
Although she only stayed on the stage of "Sister Lang" for a short time for two issues, it was enough to evoke many post-80s youth memories, in that era of no list and no super talk, the champion was cast one by one with mobile phone text messages, and An Youqi was very popular at that time, but it was a pity that it was only a flash in the pan.
An Youqi has had a dream of stardom since she was a child, and her dream in junior high school is to surpass Xu Huaiyu, so that her songs are also repeated over and over again in the streets and alleys, so after graduating from junior high school, she did not participate in the middle school entrance examination, but chose to go to Beijing to chase her music dreams, in order to fulfill her parents at the expense of accompanying her to the north.
However, she did not take the middle school entrance examination to enter the regular vocal high school, and the entrance to the music academy was not old, and she could only learn from some personal trainers, and later was introduced to the bar to sing in search of opportunities.
When she felt that her level could reach a certain level, she began to register for various competitions, from a round trip to a rematch to the final, and at the end of 1999, An Youqi participated in the well-known Taiwanese music competition "I Want Music" in Beijing.
Although she was eliminated in the rematch, she was appreciated by the goddess Meng Tingwei, who planned the future development direction for her, and also found a Taiwanese publicity team to take a series of promotional photos for her.
But her luck was very bad, and before she could see the big boss sign the contract, Meng Tingwei suddenly announced that she was withdrawing from the circle, and this plan was also gone.
In desperation, An Youqi returned to the rhythm of life while singing and participating, but after that, the specifications of the competition were improved, and she won the monthly championship in CCTV's "Music Arena", which was a step up.
In 2004, Hunan Satellite TV pioneered a large-scale national talent show "Super Girl", for all girls across the country who want to sing and love to sing, as long as they dare to sign up for the opportunity to show, the official advertisement has just been issued and caused a strong response, which is equivalent to opening up a shortcut for those children who chase their dreams, and An Youqi seized this opportunity steadily to rush into the national finals with the result of the Nanjing Division Champion.
After that, in the master duel to the end, won the national finals, overnight the national audience met this girl who laughed as bright as the sun, her name was An Youqi, the dawn was in front of her at that moment, she even felt a little incredulous.
After the end of the competition, An Youqi officially debuted, signed a contract with Tianyu Media, the company arranged a full set of vocal music, dance, physical and other aspects of the course for her, hired all the well-known professional teachers in the industry, in one fell swoop, a fledgling little girl, into a radiant queen on the stage.
After that, a series of media publicity was arranged to create a momentum for her, and in December of the same year, the first solo album "An Youqi" was released, which included the very famous "Hello, Jay Chou".
"An Youqi" set a beautiful performance of 150,000 copies as soon as it was listed, ranking among the top three Chinese female singers in terms of record sales in the same period, and "Hello, Jay Chou" was rated as one of the top ten golden melody awards Chinese.
However, this song was later criticized by Jay Chou's fans, and Jay Chou himself also euphemistically showed disgust in the interview, hoping that An Youqi would not sing it again, because the lyrics involved Jay Chou's gossip girlfriends.
For a whole year, An Youqi ran around the major commercial performance scenes, and the persona created by Tianyu for her was "China's Hamasaki Step", but An Youqi, who had been busy and busy, did not feel threatened at all, until the opening of the second "Super Girl" gong in 2005, she thought she could stand in the position of the first sister of the draft.
In fact, looking back now, An Youqi is very much like a wave of experimental products, after the competition, Tianyu's planning for her shows that it is looking at her, but it is actually on the sidelines, if An Youqi succeeds, "Supergirl" will definitely attract more talented girls to sign up for the competition, and the company will get better talents and get a higher rate of return.
Facts have proved that the idea of capital is right, the second "Supergirl" just to participate in the audition of the number of people increased several times, and to the end of Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Jingying in terms of strength and popularity are much higher than An Youqi, and even He Jie, Ye Yiqian, Huang Yali, who stopped in the top ten, have their own fan groups, and their commercial value cannot be underestimated.
So the capital quickly gave up An Youqi and switched to the new Supergirl, concerts, advertisements, and documentaries followed, and An Youqi only won a New Year's Eve concert and several newcomer awards.
When the company remembered An Youqi again, she was already cold for a long time, and in desperation, she united with Japan Ai Hui Records to tailor an album "Talk about Love" for An Youqi, and the sales exceeded 5 million, this achievement justified An Youqi's name, and the company also found that she still had value.
Subsequently, An Youqi participated in the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards with "Talking About Love" and was shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award, but was subsequently blocked at the judging stage because An Youqi had released an album and was not a newcomer, and she and the record company hid this fact.
After Taiwan's test of water was returned, Tianyu planned to send An youqi to South Korea to develop, when the strength of Korean entertainment should not be underestimated, this opportunity is actually quite good, but did not expect that an album was not finished, the Korean branch declared bankruptcy, An Youqi was discouraged and returned to China, and at this time the contract with the company was also expiring, Tianyu simply left her aside.
After five years of tossing and turning, An Youqi vividly changed from the originator of the draft to a female artist.
But people are often easier to meet nobles at the lowest point, after the termination of the contract in 2009, An Youqi accidentally met Meng Tingwei, and the two were fortunate enough to sing on the same stage, and an Youqi signed a contract with Lehua under the mediation of Meng Tingwei.
But at that time, Lehua was not good at packaging singers, and An Youqi herself lacked a sense of entertainment, and her age was not dominant, not only that, she also had a scandal with the rich, which was a big taboo in Lehua, so Lehua simply let her fend for herself, and finally the giants did not marry, and the popularity also plummeted.
After 2011, the trend of entertainment marketization has become more and more obvious, new people of various styles have risen rapidly, each is full of collagen, youth and beauty are good to use obedience, and the company is naturally willing to support newcomers to make quick money.
After the first solo concert, An Youqi basically withdrew from the first-line stage and TV programs, relying on some entertainment variety shows to maintain the heat, running around to make money from business performances, and even appeared at the New Year's party in the small county town, the birthday banquet of a certain old lady.
In 2015, An Youqi even went to participate in a blind date show "Ten Weeks to Marry Out", and An Youqi, who was 27 years old at the time, was ridiculed by netizens for hating to marry.
And her third solo EP "Lipstick Sugar" was only a few days of popularity, after which no one cared, and slowly even many people forgot about the draft originator.
Until 2020, An Youqi appeared in Hunan Satellite TV's "Hi Sing Up Season 2" program, and singing "Hello, Jay Chou" 16 years later is a memory kill for the post-80s, but for many post-zeros it is "What is this?" Indeed, the song does sound a little awkward now.
In 2021, An Youqi has been preparing for a comeback for a long time, and it is unfortunate that the initial stage ranking is the second to last in the first stage ranking, but "Mulan", which performed with Li Fei'er, Jia Qing, Zhang Xinyu and Xuan Lu in a group of performances, won the first place, and An Youqi was repeatedly put into the C position, but the final voting result was that she was eliminated miserably.
Facing her mentor after the first mistake, she said in a low voice that she did not know why she would go high and low, and that the fans who had supported her did not seem to know her after 2005.
But Zhou Bichang on the same stage formed a sharp contrast with it, in the finals of the group's testimonial, Zhou Bichang proudly shouted fans "16 years later you are still the same!" ”
The same is Supergirl a short-lived, a timeless, perhaps An Youqi is a little lucky, but also inseparable from personal efforts.
In May this year, An Youqi signed a contract with Lehua again, and the official copywriting wrote that "all the past is the prologue, hand in hand with the future, set sail!" "I hope that An Youqi can really start again and ride the wind and waves."
