Do you remember from the variety show
Avenue of Stars
Came out of it
The sun is masculine
What about combinations?
One
Wang Xu
One
Liu Gang
Relying on the appearance conditions of their low-level migrant workers and relatively good singing skills, they once spread all over the country.
However, the story behind them has caused controversy among many people, especially Wang Xu, who even let his wife twice"
Widowed
”。
01
2 times left his wife to chase his dreams
If it were not for the video dynamic released by Wang Xu on February 14 this year, everyone may have forgotten about this combination.
In the video, Wang Xu is dressed as a migrant worker, yellow rubber shoes, camouflage pants, bending down and pulling a cart of bricks, as if returning to the appearance of moving bricks at the construction site.
For Wang Xu, this is where his dream began.
Wang Xu was born in 1966 to a poor rural family.
When he was 4 years old, he did not have a father and grew up on his mother's pull.
It is said that the children of poor families have long been in charge, but Wang Xu has been obsessed with music and singing since he was a child.
What puzzled the surrounding villagers was that Wang Xu's mother instead vigorously supported her son.
With no money to study music, my mother asked the teacher in the town to borrow music textbooks.
It is by virtue of this contact with music knowledge that Wang Xu has firmly taken the road of art since he was a child.
But art, can not be eaten as a meal.
After growing up, Wang Xu is still a person who has achieved nothing and has a heart to sing.
Didn't expect such a one"
Literary youth
", but attracted a call
Wang Lanzhi
woman.
She took a fancy to Wang Xu's literary and artistic atmosphere, and despite her family's opposition, she did not want a bride price, did not bring a dowry, and married Wang Xu.
However, after marriage, Wang Lanzhi was awakened by reality.
After the birth of the child, life becomes increasingly difficult.
In 1990, Wang Xu was helplessly tortured by the family's trivia and poverty, left a note for his wife, and ran to the county town to do business performances.
Wang Lanzhi, who was left at home, took the child alone and tasted the taste of "widowhood" for the first time.
I thought that my husband could make a difference in the county town, but Wang Xu's dream still did not succeed.
A commercial performance only paid 1.5 yuan, and Wang Xu, whose self-esteem was hurt, slipped back home.
After 10 years of living in peace with his wife, Wang Xu once again had the idea of singing in 2001.
So he was 35 years old and chose to run away again.
The goal this time
Beijing
。
Seeing that she could not keep her husband, Wang Lanzhi decided to silently support her.
Wang Xu left again, and his wife Wang Lanzhi once again "guarded the widowhood."
However, this time Wang Lanzhi waited for good news.
02
The cover song became a hit
After entering Beijing, Wang Xu, because he did not have a skill, chose to go to the construction site.
Later, he met Liu Gang, a wandering singer in the subway station.
The two men hated each other and decided to join forces to sell songs at the subway station.
In the summer of 2010, in a dimly lit basement, the two excitedly recorded the first song they sang together on a broken mobile phone.
"In the Spring".
The simple appearance of migrant workers, the penetrating singing voice, and the expression of disobedience on the faces of the two people made this combination called Rising Sun Masculine completely on fire.
Once in the space of 3 days, the cover song of the rising sun masculine got
10 million people
Listen on demand.
At one point, it was even said, "
It was the rising sun that sang "In the Spring", and Wang Feng had to thank them
To their surprise, Wang Feng did express his support for himself.
Even Wang Feng invited them to his own concert, cheering him up on the two of them in some interviews.
But Wang Feng's sincerity could not be exchanged for the awakening of Wang Xu and Liu Gang.
They took advantage of Wang Feng's human feelings, ignored copyright issues, and stubbornly used cover songs to amass wealth.
Even by means of cover songs, the two men joined forces to buy a mansion worth 200 million.
A concert,
The appearance fee of two people is 20 million yuan at a price.
Finally, the two people's confused attitude annoyed Wang Feng.
03
The commonality of grassroots stars
So Wang Feng proposed to defend the rights of the song and forbade the two people to cover their own songs.
On the one hand, there is no source of cover songs, on the other hand, there is no ability to create high-quality songs,
The rising sun masculine quickly walked towards the western mountain of the sun.
So that there was a scene of Wang Xu returning to the construction site to move bricks this year.
However, liu gang, by writing a few songs, came out of his own album, and seems to have a good life.
But the once-inspiring migrant worker group eventually parted ways.
In fact, from behind the masculinity of the rising sun, we can see the helplessness that prevails after the rise of grassroots stars.
Lack of innovation, no better planning for the future in advance, so that it crosses like a meteor and eventually stands silent.
A similar situation occurred in Shanxi peasant singers
Bao
Body.
Once he relied on his rustic appearance and majestic singing, he once caught fire.
But at present, it can only win eyeballs and earn traffic by shooting some vulgar anti-string videos.
Shandong coat brother
Zhu Zhiwen
By singing Yang Hongji's songs, the people of the whole country got to know this northern peasant.
However, in the end, because there were no works, it continued to take root in the countryside and became a tool for the continuous consumption of neighbors.
China has never lacked talented and talented people who can sing and dance.
What is missing is how to think calmly after the explosion and transform the mind as soon as possible.
If you can't do this, it will only be a flash in the pan after all.
