The show "Walk of Fame" has given a stage for many people from poor but talented backgrounds.
Phoenix Legend, Nine Moon Miracle, Coat Brother...
This show has made many unknown singers well known to the public, and even won a lot of "grassroots singers"!
But after all these years, how are these "grassroots singers" now?
Let's take a look!
01. "Li Yugang" - 2006 third runner-up, the scenery is still the same.
Li Yugang was born in 1978 in a rural family in Changchun, Jilin Province, and before he participated in "Avenue of Stars", the audience did not know who Li Yugang was.
Li Yugang is the oldest child in the family, has an older brother and sister, in this poor family, parents and brothers and sisters gave him all the warmth and love.
Because her mother loves to sing, Li Yugang often hummed with her mother when she was a child, and planted the seeds of music in her heart.
Because his family was poor, Li Yugang could not afford to study, so he took 200 yuan and came to the city alone to work.
When li yugang made a living alone, he did a lot of chores, served plates in restaurants, and also worked as a running hall in a dance hall, and slowly and quite talentedly, he got the opportunity to perform on stage.
In 2000, when Li Yugang was 22 years old, he used the money he had accumulated over the years to open a small clothing store, and it was at this time that his aesthetics and clothing were cultivated.
Unfortunately, not long after, because of poor investment, Li Yugang went bankrupt, and he began to practice singing hard, and then Li Yugang worshiped Ma Hong as a teacher.
At that time, Li Yugang was very interested in the reverse string, and the control of male and female voices was very good.
Once, a female singer who partnered with Li Yugang was absent from the performance, and Li Yugang completed the stage performance of two people alone
The melodious singing shocked everyone and won a full house.
In 2006, Li Yugang stepped onto the stage of "Avenue of Stars", and his anti-string performance was eye-catching.
The fluttering "Farewell to the Overlord" made Li Yugang shine on the stage, not only achieving good results, but also making him a well-known singer!
After the debut of "Avenue of Stars", Li Yugang's singing career has improved.
In the same year, the officials of the "Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award" and the "Entertainment Decade Festival" came to the door and invited Li Yugang to sing at the event.
In 2007, the Sydney Opera House also handed out an invitation to the event to Li Yugang, who brought the song overseas.
Many listeners commented on Li Yugang's song: "It is a combination of aesthetics and music! There is a taste of China! ”
And Li Yugang also stepped on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, bringing everyone songs full of traditional charm, which became a fire all over the country.
Nowadays, Li Yugang's songs such as "New Noble Concubine Drunk", "Chi Ling", and "Wanjiang" are already well-known golden songs for the common people.
And Li Yugang himself came from the grassroots and sang all the way to the well-deserved singer in the hearts of the public!
02. "Ah Bao" - the 2005 annual champion, the "sheep herding baby" human set collapsed and gradually fell.
In 2004, "Avenue of Stars" Ah Bao attracted everyone's attention with a northern Shaanxi costume.
I saw that he had a white towel on his head, wearing a white shoulder belt and a red belt on his waist, holding a small leather whip to complete the image of a "shepherd baby".
And when he opened his voice, the loud singing instantly brought the listener's heart to the yellow land of northern Shaanxi.
A song "Shandan DanHua Blooms Red and Bright" instantly exploded across the country.
In the show, Ah Bao claimed to be a grassroots "shepherd baby", because he liked to sing when sheding sheep, so he had this good voice.
The audience was convinced of his words and felt that Ah Bao was a real grassroots singer, so they supported him very much.
In 2005, Ah Bao won the annual champion of the "Walk of Fame", and he received many invitations to events.
In 2006, Ah Bao appeared on the stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, and made him a household name by singing "The Sun That Rises and Falls on the Grassland".
After playing that, he released an album and sent new songs to participate in the event, And Ah Bao was busy flying all over the country, and his "sheep herding baby" outfit also became his symbol.
Just when Ah Bao was busy singing to make money, there were more and more doubts about his origins.
Some netizens pulled out: "He is not a sheep herding baby at all, this is a gimmick, he signed the company before he was on the show!" ”
Standing at the cusp of public opinion, Ah Bao did not explain too much.
Seeing the public's dissatisfaction one after another, some merchants and activists invariably excluded him.
There are fewer and fewer job opportunities, and Ah Bao appears less and less frequently in public, so that many people say: "I haven't heard Ah Bao sing for a long time!" ”
From unlimited scenery to disappearing, Ah Bao told us with his own experience that false human designs are unreliable, and eyeball-catching lies are punctured, which can only make his reputation fall to the bottom.
Nowadays, the 53-year-old Ah Bao often posts videos of himself singing on his personal account, but he has long lost his former scenery and popularity.
03. "Liu Dacheng" - 2010 champion, the most rational and sober grassroots singer.
Liu Dacheng grew up by the canal, and his parents were authentic croppers.
When there was no work in the field in winter, Dad pulled a scooter to sell briquettes, and Liu Dacheng wore a big thick cotton jacket and followed His father through the streets.
Because his family was poor and could not afford to buy a radio, Liu Dacheng ran to sit under the loudspeaker in the village.
After the sound of the electric current of the loudspeaker, the song will be played
As soon as Liu Dacheng sat down, he didn't come home at the time of eating, and his mother pinched his waist to twist his ears.
When there are red and white happy events in the village, he will invite the drama team, Liu Dacheng likes to learn to sing with them the most, here he is comparing in a similar way, and the adults over there are not happy.
Once Liu Dacheng saw that the water pipe looked like a flute, so he found a water pipe and poked a hole to make his own instrument, but he did not expect to succeed.
Because of the limited conditions, everything in the family has become his musical instrument, and his ventriloquism is superb!
In 2010, Liu Dacheng signed up for the "Avenue of Stars" at the suggestion of a friend, and he used his simple and unpretentious singing method to show rural life vividly, which won unanimous praise.
On the stage of the finals, Liu Dacheng performed his proud ventriloquism.
He played the melodious erhu of birds with his mouth, and the song "On the Field of Hope" won the championship for the judges and the audience.
After winning the championship, Liu Dacheng was on fire, and his father wiped his tears and said: "No one in the old Liu family has been counted for three generations to sing such a voice, and my son has a long face!" ”
Draped in garlands and glory, Liu Dacheng was not proud, he knew that Ruth had to go step by step.
That year, he participated in many programs, Hunan TV's "Happy Base Camp", CCTV's "Happy Heroes"...
Liu Dacheng suddenly became a celebrity in his hometown, but he insisted on taking one step at a time, producing new works to participate in condolence performances, and also became a director of the National Literary and Art Volunteer Association.
Nowadays, Liu Dacheng's family is happy and successful, and he is already a winner in life.
His sobriety allowed himself to not lose his original intention in the face of fame and flow, and he opened his own flower of life step by step.
04. "Straw Hat Sister" - 2013 Annual Top Five, after becoming famous, makeup and dressing up are unknown to everyone.
Straw Hat Sister, whose real name is Xu Guihua, was born in the Yimeng Mountains.
Born in the countryside, Straw Hat Sister especially likes to sing, and her singing can be heard in the fields. One of her children also enjoyed listening to her sing.
One of Straw Hat Sister's favorite songs is called "Yimeng Mountain Minor", which is a song that praises her hometown Yimeng Mountain.
Before participating in the "Avenue of Stars", Xu Guihua had participated in the singing program of the local station.
Because when registering on the spot, Xu Guihua's children shouted to eat ice cream, and seeing that they were still early on stage, Xu Guihua took the child with him.
As a result, it was soon her turn, and the activists could not find Xu Guihua's person, so they could only shout in their throats: "That big sister with straw hat ears!" Who saw the big sister in the straw hat? ”
In this way, Xu Guihua got the title of "Straw Hat Sister".
In this show, Straw Hat Sister won the second place in one fell swoop, and everyone in the ten miles and eight townships knew that she sang well and won the award!
So with the support of friends, Straw Hat Sister signed up for the "Walk of Fame"
Who expected that this thick and simple rural big sister would actually go all the way to the top five positions of the finals.
"Straw Hat Sister" is completely on fire, and the villagers are proud of her, thinking that she has seen the big world on the big stage!
Advertisements for various events also came to the door, and the home of Sister Straw Hat was surrounded by water.
Straw Hat Sister began to take the performance, the opening of the big shopping mall will invite her, the company's activities will also find her...
In 2015, Straw Hat Sister received an olive branch from the crew of "Beautiful Countryside" and invited her to shoot and act as "Ren Daqin".
With the increasing popularity, in 2016, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala also came to the door.
Straw Hat Sister stood on the most popular stage in the minds of the people and sang, becoming a household name star.
However, after becoming famous, the "idol baggage" of the straw hat sister also rose, and she began to think about dressing up and dressing herself, so she began to wear fashionable clothes.
"Elaborately dressed" Straw Hat sister to take photos, live in a mansion, life is not comfortable.
When it appeared in front of the public, it was completely gone, and I thought that the fans would like themselves more, and who wanted the audience but did not buy it.
Some netizens said: "I feel that the straw hat sister has changed, not simple at all like her!" ”
Some netizens said: "Straw hat sister makeup is not as good as no makeup!" ”
What everyone likes is the simple big sister who sings happily anytime and anywhere, not the internet celebrity big sister who is now wearing heavy makeup.
Moreover, some people pulled out that the primary school that Straw Hat Sister had promised to donate to the villagers had not followed, but she lived in a luxury car and mansion, which greatly reduced the audience's impression of her.
Today's Straw Hat Sister has also faded out of the public eye, and everyone is out of sight.
05. "Coat Brother" - the top five in 2011, from heart-wrenching to deeply involved in public opinion.
"Coat Brother" Zhu Zhiwen was born in Heze, Shandong Province in 1969, before he became famous, in a small rural area in Shan County, Zhu Zhiwen was already a "celebrity".
Because he loves to sing, Zhu Zhiwen always stands in the ground and sings
As a farmer, in Zhu Zhiwen's eyes, the harvest in the field and tomorrow's weather cannot catch up with the singing.
The villagers called him a "madman" because he knew how to sing every day, and could a farmer eat enough by singing?
However, Zhu Zhiwen proved himself to the villagers with his singing voice.
After that, he signed up for the "Walk of Fame", and on the day of the competition, Zhu Zhiwen found his best dress, that is, the military coat.
Zhu Zhiwen stood on the stage wearing a military coat, his singing voice was high and loud, and every sentence could touch the hearts of the audience.
His army green coat was particularly eye-catching, so he had the title of "Coat Brother".
With Zhu Zhiwen's good results in the top 5, he also completely exploded
The villagers could not imagine that he was so powerful that they rushed to his home.
Various commercial performances found Zhu Zhiwen, and the value of the "coat brother" also rose, and the appearance fee reached 100,000 yuan!
The villagers of Zhulou Village saw that Brother Dayi had earned so much money and asked him to do construction for his hometown, so Brother Dayi sent money to each villager.
But all the relatives who are related to his site come to the door to "borrow money", not only to borrow but also to scold him stingy.
Zhu Zhiwen wanted life in the countryside and did not move to the city, and he scolded the villagers who built roads in the village for not building the roads well.
He gave red envelopes to children who came to play at home, hundreds of hundreds of them, but the parents of the children hated him for giving less: "I make so much money, just give us this!" No conscience! ”
Some people ran to Zhu Zhiwen's home to broadcast live, under the banner of "See what is the life of Brother Coat", harassing the normal life of Zhu Zhiwen's family.
Since the first live broadcaster was fired, the villagers have followed suit, and Zhu Zhiwen's home has never been cut off, and every move has been posted on the Internet.
After Zhu Zhiwen's situation was exposed, the audience was very distressed about him, and felt that the villagers really had no bottom line! Persuade Brother Coat to take up the weapon of the law to protect himself.
However, as the days passed, the other side of Zhu Zhiwen was slowly exposed to the public.
First of all, the marriage and love situation of Zhu Zhiwen's son, and the division and combination with his daughter-in-law Chen Yanan, can be called the annual drama.
On the other hand, there is the discussion about "brother coat being harassed".
Some netizens broke the news that all this was operated by them in the dark, the purpose was to win the sympathy of netizens, otherwise why didn't he move away when he was so rich.
Some people even found that Zhu Zhiwen also moved stools for the people of the live broadcast, and even ran to the yard to wash their feet in order to facilitate their shooting!
More and more people participated in the discussion, and Zhu Zhiwen, who was once highly praised, was also caught in the storm of public opinion.
"Grassroots singers" refer to singers who come from poor backgrounds and have no professional training but are talented, who can be known to the public and must have made a lot of efforts.
However, after becoming famous, whether he can stick to his original intention and move forward all the way is a great test of his three views and character.
These singers, who are famous for their "Walk of Fame", once stood on the same starting line, but now they are very different, which is really regrettable.
