As the most popular talent contests, "Super Girl" and "Happy Girl" have given birth to many excellent star idols, such as Zhang Liangying, Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Hanyun, He Jie and other singers, who are still active in the mainland music scene.
However, there was one contestant who participated in the 2009 class of "Happy Girl", which was called the most beautiful of their class at the time, and also won the seventh place in the country. However, after participating in "Happy Girl", she faded out of the public's vision.
And this beautiful actress is Pan Chen.
The top ten contestants of the 2009 "Happy Girl" are Jiang Yingrong, Li Xiaoyun, Huang Ying, Yu Kewei, Liu Xijun, Tan Lina, Pan Chen, Pan Hongju, Zeng Yike and Li Yuanxi. Among the top ten players, Pan Chen not only has the highest appearance, but also has quite good singing skills, and it is indeed a very eye-catching existence in that session.
I still remember that when I was in the competition, Pan Chen covered Xiao Jingteng's "Forgive Me", which made the audience and the judges marvel. As we all know, Xiao Jingteng's songs have always been very high, and girls rarely cover Xiao Jingteng's songs, but Pan Chen not only sang, but also did give people a feeling that her female version was better than the male original.
Since he has good looks and strength, why did Pan Chen not shine in the music world later?
Recently, Pan Chen posted a long article on social platforms, revealing the reasons for his 12 years of silence after "Happy Girl". What people did not expect was that the beautiful singer who had so much potential and strength at the beginning actually encountered the "workplace PUA" after the draft.
Pan Chen said in a long article that after participating in "Happy Girl", because of the relationship of "Princess Sister", he signed into the same brokerage company as her, but he was named "Princess Gift" for a long time. No matter how hard she tried, the company always had various reasons for her disapproval, and repeatedly hindered her career development, that is, she was "hidden".
The "princess sister" mentioned in Pan Chen's mouth is actually Zhang Liangying.
Zhang Liangying is the third place in the class of 2005 "Super Girl", which can be regarded as Pan Chen's sister. Needless to say, Zhang Liangying's singing skills are the best developed of all the "super girls" and "fast girls". After Zhang Liangying and Pan Chen met, the two were in love with each other, so Zhang Liangying brought Pan Chen into her company "Shaocheng Era".
"Shaocheng Times" is an artist agency founded by Zhang Liangying in partnership with her ex-husband Feng Ke, which was established in 2009. And Pan Chen also participated in the debut of "Happy Girl" in 2009, which means that Pan Chen was also the first batch of artists signed by the agency.
Since Zhang Liangying is the major shareholder of the "Shaocheng Era", then she should have a lot of right to speak, why would Pan Chen still encounter such a thing? Is it not that Zhang Liangying is not good for the sisters she brought into the company?
In fact, it is not Zhang Liangying who pits her own good sisters, but Zhang Liangying herself is also pitted.
According to public information, when the "Shaocheng Era" was first established, Zhang Liangying's shares were 70%, while Feng Ke only accounted for 10%. But in 2014, Feng Ke's stake suddenly increased to 60%, while Zhang Liangying's stake shrank to 35%.
It can be seen that after the establishment of the "Shaocheng Era", Feng Ke has been trying to find ways to obtain more equity, and by 2014, Feng Ke has become the largest shareholder and actual helmsman of the "Shaocheng Era".
However, if Feng Ke really has the ability to be a boss, that's it. But the problem is that the performance of the "Shaocheng Era" that Feng Ke is in charge of is not qualified at all.
So far, the "Shaocheng Era" has signed more than 20 star artists such as Zhang Liangying, Yang Mi, Cao Ge, Zhang Bichen, Liang Bo, Wang Zhengliang, Deng Chaoyuan, Xia Hanyu, Xie Di, Wang Ether, Chen Xuening, Tao Jingying, Liu Meilin, Wen Wei, Xu Xinwen, Qiu Jirong, Pan Chen, Xu Zhenyao, Zhang Liyin, Su Lisheng, Chen Mingxi, Liang Jiajie, Pictor, Hu Jiahao, etc.
Among these signed star artists, in addition to Zhang Liangying, Yang Mi, Cao Ge and Zhang Bichen, who are more famous, many others can be said to be unknown in the entertainment industry, and most of them have not even heard the name.
And Yang Mi and Cao Ge both signed a contract with the "Shaocheng Era" for a year and then terminated, which can see the problem of the "Shaocheng Era": famous star artists are unwilling to sign a contract with the "Shaocheng Era", and the "Shaocheng Era" signed a large number of unknown star artists, but none of them were picked up.
Some people may also ask, since Feng Ke has signed so many star artists, why has he not properly cultivated these artists and provided them with more and better stages, so that they can one day become superstars and seek greater benefits for the company?
On this subject, perhaps this goes something like this:
Because the company can provide limited resources and stages for its star artists, and the release of records and publicity for artists requires certain investment costs, Feng Ke believes that instead of sharing these resources and funds equally with each artist, it is better to all smash them all on an artist, that is, all smash into Zhang Liangying's body.
Another point is that if Feng Ke does not give himself the resources and funds of other artists he signed, these artists are likely to be unable to stand this "snow hiding" and propose to terminate the contract with the company. Once the contract is terminated, the "Shaocheng Era" can reap a huge termination fee, which is not a kind of empty gloves and white wolves, and it is simple and easy to make money?
So we can also see that Zhang Liangying's career development in the show business circle over the years is in full swing. However, such a development concept, Zhang Liangying herself may not agree. Sacrificing so many people's acting careers to achieve her own self is not something that a good person will do.
It can be seen that Feng Ke and Zhang Liangying's concepts have been incompatible since a long time ago, and Feng Ke simply does not have the ability to develop the "Shaocheng Era" healthily. It is also because of the concept of disagreement, Zhang Liangying quit the "Shaocheng Era" in 2018 and announced her divorce from Feng Ke.
Today, Pan Chen has also completely left the deep pit of the "Shaocheng Era" after Zhang Liangying. It is a bit of a pity that Pan Chen is now 33 years old and has missed the golden period of his acting career. Fortunately, Pan Chen's singing level is really good, and her appearance is also maintained very well, so she still has the opportunity to turn the tables against the wind.
