The capable are in power and the incompetent are out, which is the "law of the jungle" that will always apply to the adult world.

I don't know how many people still remember, 14 years ago, that crazy summer.
In 2007, Hunan Satellite TV and Tianyu Media created a male talent show "Happy Male Voice".
As a representative of the first generation of China's internal entertainment draft, "Fast Man" was launched, sweeping the streets and alleys, creating a viewing miracle in the same period.
After that, Chen Chusheng, Su Xing, Wu Yi, Zhang Jie...
Familiar names, like a tornado that swept through many people's boyhood and girlhood.
Andy Warhol said: "Everyone has 15 minutes of fame. ”
We're used to the applause of flowers when idols become famous, but few people care where their longer lives go after "15 minutes."
Today, except for a very few who are still active in front of the screen, most of the "fast men" have faded their aura and have disappeared without a trace.
In the recent exposure, Chen Chusheng is willing to accompany the singing, Ji Jie live broadcast to sell goods, Chen Xiang is completely cold because of the cheating hammer, Amuron drunkenly drove and killed people, and he was imprisoned...
In a comment from a netizen:
In this era, traffic can be popular for a while, but the strength can go further. When you lose your core competitiveness, what do you rely on comparing yourself to others with strong strength?
When the idol lost its traffic value and was abandoned by capital, his acting career was basically over. However, there is another group of people, who are not popular, but have been working quietly, quietly working hard, and then surprising everyone.
……
The so-called appearance of how beautiful, how desolate the exit, the real decision of a person's future fate, is the strength.
Luck determines how fast you can go, but strength determines how far you can go.
What strength you have, what other people's faces
On July 14, Chen Chusheng was invited to participate in the recording of the variety show "Who is the Treasure Singer" and cooperated with his good brother Lu Rover who debuted together in "Mercury".
His so-called return to the stage is just like the first time on stage, like a helpless child, not knowing where to put his hands and whether the expression management is in place.
In an interview with reporters, Chen Chusheng was frank and almost humble:
There are many young and powerful musicians on the stage this time, and I also want to know and learn from them. It's really hard to make music now, especially to be heard by others.
In fact, if you sing well, you also want to know how to act, and the part of 'acting' is what I need to learn. The first feeling is still nervous, after all, I haven't sung on such a stage for a long time.
He said that he was nervous and unprepared, which made the people who watched sigh and expect the audience to give affirmation, but he was also most afraid of seeing the real reaction.
Just like a singing program on Zhejiang Satellite TV last year, he sang with new singers.
At the end, he was also commented: "The content is monotonous and lacks depth." ”
As can be seen from the video, despite their hard work, the audience response is average, and even seems a little cold.
It is hard to imagine that the male star who made his debut in the draft and made a fire all over the country would look like this when he returned to the audience after disappearing for a few years.
In addition to overhearing the news of singing and touring, it is rare to hear the name "Chen Chusheng", how hot was Chen Chusheng at his peak?
When the top 13 went to Beijing to shoot the fast man MV together, he was surrounded by fans who flocked to him.
People frantically chanted his name, fanatical fans held up signs and offered flowers, and then Chen Chusheng returned to his hometown to solicit votes in a farm.
Originally thousands of spectators were expected, but tens of thousands of fans came on the day of the show.
Originally planned to sing five songs, he began to solicit votes; because there were too many people, the security guards could not control the whole scene for a while, and Chen Chusheng sang three songs and left in a hurry.
When it comes to the national finals, Every time between rehearsals, Chen Chusheng will receive interviews from media across the country, and even radio and television.
He was so busy that when the game was over, when he retrieved the confiscated mobile phone, he found that it had been filled with information and stuck.
With the aura of the first fast male champion, Chen Chusheng officially stepped into the music circle.
Chen Chusheng's name is also accompanied by the song "Has Anyone Told You", which penetrates all ages in China and is in the limelight for a while.
But this song seems to have become a masterpiece of Chen Chusheng, because after this song, his fame directly declined.
He went from being a singer who was popular all over the Internet to an entertainer who no one cared about.
Many people wonder why people who were once so popular have disappeared now.
In this regard, a netizen said the key point:
The four-year lawsuit with the company has caused Chen Chusheng's previously accumulated popularity to plummet.
With less and less appearances in front of the audience, the name Chen Chusheng has gradually been forgotten by netizens.
In addition to his debut songs, he did not impress the audience with songs after that.
As a singer, the most important thing is to have a song composition that keeps pace with the times. But Chen Chusheng has no works out of the circle except for "Has Anyone Told You".
In the entertainment circle of newcomers, without works, there is naturally no market, and once you leave, it is difficult to make a comeback. In the final analysis, a person's strength is his strength.
Also encountered was Zhang Yuan, the top ten player of that year.
The most recent exposure was to participate in the "Creation Camp 2019", and as a result, because of insufficient strength, it was far from debuting.
In that year, the group "Supreme Lihe", which was tailored for popular idols such as Zhang Yuan, was once a collection of beautiful men in the dreams of countless young girls. The representative work "Cotton Candy" is even more popular in the streets.
At its busiest, supremes make as many as 16 announcements a month, and the costume is worn to the point of holes. The company held a signing party, and there were many people on the scene.
Just sign your fans and they can sign in for hand cramps.
But why is no one interested now?
Because when the tide fades, you know who's swimming naked.
Yang Qihan, the debater of "Strange Story", said:
"Under the premise of no emotional basis, connections are not connections, all rely on comprehensive strength." For the weak, some so-called connections, which seem to be all over the world, are actually false prosperity. ”
When you are strong, everyone is eager to pursue you; when you are weak, everyone is eager to step on two feet.
What strength you have, what other people's faces; what strength you have, what attitude others have towards you.
Speaking with strength is the unchanging law of the adult world.
Luck determines how fast you can go
But strength determines how far you can go
As Chen Chusheng's disciple, in 2010, Li Wei won the championship smoothly, which can be described as the peak of his debut.
Thinking of the night of the championship that year, Li Wei played steadily, and Song Huiqiao and Xiao Jingteng helped him, and finally stood out from 230,000 people.
After the game, the company produced theme songs for Li Wei such as the hit drama "Qian Duoduo Married" and "Accidentally Falling in Love with You".
However, the good times did not last long.
Soon some netizens broke the news: he snatched away his girlfriend who had been in a good friend's relationship for four years, and also published the intimate chest-hugging photos of the two on social networks.
At this point, Li Wei was completely cool and was hidden by the company.
The scenery when he won the championship is still there, but Li Wei's acting career can no longer make a splash.
The latest album is still "City Lights" 4 years ago, but there is not much movement.
In 2019, under the convocation of the same popular player Wu Yi, the top 12 "fast men" gathered together, but they were complained about by netizens that their body management failed.
Just imagine, if Li Wei became popular, hit the iron while it was hot, focus on strength improvement, rather than hyping lace news, word of mouth may not collapse.
But there is nothing so-called good luck in this world.
You know, there is no overnight fame, there is no god of luck, some are just non-stop desperate efforts, and face the character pattern when choosing.
You see, Chen Xiang, who developed well later, was hammered by Mao Xiaotong for cheating, and there was no day to turn over; Wang Lixin abandoned his wife and was scolded by netizens on the hot search; Amuron was sentenced for hit-and-run in drunk driving...
People who have luck and no strength are only short-lived after all, but those who have been cultivating strength can shine as long as they seize an opportunity.
Tao Hong, who was snubbed because of the gap in popularity, is also an equally admirable actor of strength.
She also had her own highlight moments and won numerous awards, but after marriage she chose to take care of her family and was in a semi-hidden state.
In recent years, she has "gone out of the mountains" again, and has countless fans with her own strength.
In "The Birth of an Actor", she not only has amazing acting skills, but also has excellent directing ability, and the scene where she uses strokes to divide the shots is breathtaking.
Because she played a strong and anxious single mother in "Little Joy", she won the Best Supporting Actress Award for Magnolia in one fell swoop.
Fame and popularity, just over the clouds, you should pay attention to and operate is your own connotation and strength.
Instead, when rubbing shoulders with luck, lamenting the lack of strength.
As long as you are a piece of gold, you will always wait for your own sparkling moment.
The so-called good luck
It's just the accumulation of strength and effort in the first half of your life
If you want to say that the "fast man" is fully defeated, it will not be.
After all, Zhang Jie, who has been active on major stages, has been a fan of the circle with strength and has been hot until now.
In 2004, Zhang Jie participated in the draft, Zhang Jie's starting point was not high, and his family was very poor. Mom was laid off early, while Dad was a janitor in a factory after retiring a few years ago.
After being admitted to college, Zhang Jie used weekends and holidays to sing in a bar in Chengdu, in addition to his love for music, more to earn some tuition and miscellaneous fees and pocket money.
Because he liked to sing, he bought a second-hand stereo to sing against the wall. Although it was relatively simple and there was no audience, he was satisfied himself.
"I Type My Show", won the championship in one fell swoop, debuted with the famous song "The Love of the Big Dipper", and later participated in "Happy Male Voice", but only got the fourth place.
His results were not the best, but his hard work and perseverance over the years made him far beyond the results he had achieved at that time.
Over the years, the entertainment industry has also undergone a lot of changes, and many singers have come and gone. The only thing that hasn't changed is that Zhang Jie never stopped —he kept singing.
Several times I went abroad to study music, constantly trying new musical styles and trying different forms of expression.
In his 17 years of debut, he has released 12 albums, won more than 160 music awards, won the title of "Most Popular Male Singer" 24 times, and won the "Asian Star" at the M-net Asian Music Awards (MAMA) in South Korea in 2010.
Multiple venues began to sing, and the dazzling and diverse data was enough to outline the musical road that Zhang Jie struggled step by step.
Constantly break through the past, and constantly become a new self.
When he held a concert at the Bird's Nest, 80,000 tickets sold out for more than two minutes, and the concert network live broadcast exceeded 100 million.
That is to say, one in 13 people watched Zhang Jie's concert.
Many people say that Zhang Jie is lucky because he met Xie Na and obtained a lot of resources.
But this world has never been lucky without reason, nor has there been a genius who is lazy and lazy, and all the achievements are just the accumulation of strength and effort in the first half of life.
Dong Qing once said in a program: "I think the meaning of life lies in pioneering rather than sticking to it, and we should not lose the courage to move forward at any time." ”
What we can remember is always the few minutes that shine brightly on the stage; and the bitterness and hardships they have on the road to their dreams are often overlooked.
No one's life can be flat, in this pursuit of ideals, there is no shortcut, can only fight hard.
From the peak of their debut to the namelessness of their origins, the changes of fast men over the years have alluded to two "unspoken rules" of the adult world:
First, the socialization of adults, strength is the trump card.
Without strength, all connections are jokes.
Sociologist Horsman once said: "Any interpersonal relationship is essentially an exchange relationship." ”
The greater your value, the stronger your strength, the more confident you are, so instead of chasing a horse, it is better to use the time of chasing horses to plant grass; when the spring is in full bloom, it can attract a group of horses for you to choose.
As Tranquility said, "Only by making yourself a special look is you qualified to ask people if they like you or not." ”
Instead of spending time doing ineffective socializing, it is better to dive into the heart, improve yourself, become a valuable person, and what you want will naturally come.
Second, strength is more important than opportunity.
Most of the time, opportunities must be won by strength, and those who do not have strength cannot seize the opportunity when they come.
The capable are in power and the incompetent are out, which is the "law of the jungle" that will always apply to the adult world. Truly good works are destined to stand out; truly excellent people are also destined to be seen and recognized.
The more capable people are, the better luck they are.
Whether it is a star artist or an ordinary person who works hard for life, only by consolidating the foundation of ability can we go steadily and far on the road of life.
Never wait for the opportunity to fall from the sky, when you climb high enough, see far enough, the opportunity, naturally will come to the door.
