"A person's value should be based on what he contributes, not on what he has achieved." -—— Einstein
The so-called "thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi", we never know what kind of changes will occur in the future. Can the elements that are popular today continue to be popular in the future, and will people who look good now still look as good as they are in the future? The future is full of countless unpredictable things.
Once on a par with the music triumvirate, the heat is even comparable to Jay Chou's back string, and now his songs are still covered by many people and have become the memories of many people. But for himself, from the explosion of popularity has gone to decline, what is the reason behind it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > all the rage</h1>
At that time, "Baby's Face" was a song that everyone could sing. Many people also set this song as their own mobile phone ringtone, so they will face the embarrassing thing of installing a mobile phone ringtone. Since there were physical stores specializing in selling records at that time, the advertisements were also backstrings and Jay Chou. It can be seen that the heat of the back string at that time was very large.
Jay Chou may be the youth of many people, and the back string is no exception. The two men's styles sounded more similar, so in the era of the copy version, the back-string song would be sold with The name of Jaylen last week. In fact, there are still some differences in the styles of the two people.
Jay Chou's songs are more inclined to pop music, including a combination of R&B, Hip-Hop, and Rap. Compared with the back strings, more new music styles are integrated, and they are also easy to be accepted and loved by the public.
The back string has a certain Chinese element, he combines Western music with ethnic music, and the style created is more traditional. Therefore, if you carefully study the music of the two people, you can still feel a great difference.
With his creative talent, Hou Xian published his debut album , "Antiques" shortly after his debut. At that time, it won 100,000 copies of sales, and won the "Most Popular Newcomer Award". This is the successful start of the back string, and his creative path has just begun.
His "You Still Owe Me a Hug" won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards of the Year in Music and the Top Ten Golden Melodies awards in the hottest mainland, and also won the title of "Best Male Singer in the Mainland". Therefore, at this time, the growth rate of the back string can be described as a sudden leap forward, and it has become famous in one fell swoop.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > no one cares</h1>
The heat of the backstring has been soaring, but the reason for not being able to retain the heat is twofold:
One is because The Back String is a very low-key person, he just wants to make his own music;
Second, because the company failed to provide a good development platform for the back string, so that no one cared about it in the later stage.
The back string is like a dancing boy, polite and temperamental. From the music he composes, you can see the love of traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, he himself exudes a classical atmosphere, and it is his consistent style to deal with low-key things.
Therefore, he is not willing to chase the trend, only wants to make the music he wants to make. He wants to show the beauty in traditional Chinese culture in his way so that more people like and accept it. Although such an approach is a worthwhile thing for houxin himself, it has not been able to gain the popularity.
In fact, the public is more receptive to a style like Jay Chou, so the creation after the back string will not be appreciated by many people. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the audience, the back string still made certain changes, which led to the birth of "Babyface".
Although the work is very successful, due to the lack of strength of the company itself, the problems faced in the future cannot be solved one by one. The birth of the work also requires a certain amount of capital management and publicity, but the company's financial resources are insufficient. Therefore, the back string and many opportunities missed, gradually faded out of the public eye, but also in this matter is a complete loss to Jay Chou, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > return to blandness</h1>
The later development of the back string was not very good, and after seeing no hope, the back string still returned to its original creative style. He still does his favorite style of music, even if few people can appreciate it, but at least he does what he likes. This is perhaps the greatest satisfaction for him.
Today's back string, commercial performances in small cities, the audience is not very large. At the worst time, even the tickets can't be sold, and you only need to collect praise to get the tickets. Therefore, the current development of the back string is indeed not optimistic, but he is still insisting on doing this.
He still embarked on a stable path, marrying and having children. He and his wife fell in love for ten years and ran into the palace of marriage and had a particularly lovely daughter. The family is also very happy, the years are quiet, just so simple is enough.
Hou Xian said: "I will always let the painting be extended, because China's long-standing humanistic feelings cannot be finished." This is his poetry, his willingness to find his own creative paradise in his own world. No one could disturb him, he just had to be himself.
Many people may regret it, after all, he once achieved a lot of achievements, but now he has fallen into this. However, this may be the choice of the back string, he still chose his own dream in his dreams and fame, still chose his original heart, and the direction of his heart is the direction of his struggle.
Maybe it doesn't look so glorious now, but he has his own happiness; although his songs are not listened to by many people, in his opinion, he can sing them to those who understand him, and he does not care about fame, he cares about whether anyone understands. Embracing a plain life is also a kind of happiness.
We can see that he is still releasing his own works after the commercial performance. Whether it is the single "You Laugh" and "Hero Post" released last year, or the "Meet a Life" released this year, you can still hear its voice through the music works.
In addition, Houxin can now feel happy from his family, and his daughter has become his greatest happiness. Perhaps such a simple life is the life that the back string chases. We may not understand the poetry of his mouth, he may have attained happiness that we do not experience in a world we do not know, a spiritual world of abundance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > conclusion</h1>
This is the artist, "full of sixpence, but he looks up and sees the moon." The pursuit of art may seem ridiculous to others, but for them it is the most authentic meaning of life. They live in different dimensions of the world and feel the happiness of different dimensions.
Everyone has a different state of life, and it doesn't have to be glorious to be a good life. Everyone also has the right to choose their own life, as long as they choose the model that suits them, it is enough to find their most comfortable state. Perhaps, the state of life of houxin is the result of his choice.
