In 1999, Hazumi's debut album "The Most Beautiful" turned out to be a million copies, and its sales instantly exceeded one million copies, and it was all over the country overnight.
In particular, the title song "The Most Beautiful" won the annual golden song of the Chinese pop gold melody chart and the top ten golden songs of the 7th Oriental Wind and Cloud Chart.
At the same time, the "Yuquan" group also won the best group of the year in the China Original Song Ranking List, and the best group of the 7th Oriental Wind and Cloud Chart.
The so-called debut is the peak, and these two brothers have done it extremely perfectly.
For the performance of these two brothers, the industry gave a high degree of appreciation and evaluation: "Yuquan is the last great discovery of the Rolling Stone Records this century!" ”
However, after Yuquan wind and rain went through 20 spring and autumn seasons, because of Chen Yufan's mistakes, he was imprisoned and could no longer face the wind and rain with Hu Haiquan.
Since then, the two can no longer sing together, began to embark on different paths of life, and their fates have become completely different.
One
Hu Haiquan was born in August 1975 to a military family in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, where he was the only son.
Hu Haiquan's father, Hu Shizong, was a famous military poet who published many works, of which "Song of the Soldiers of the Northern Kingdom" and "Statue" were the most famous.
Generally speaking, poets are very poor characters in China, but Hu Shizong is different, he is not only widely connected, but also has an extremely deep background, and there are many "big people" in the capital who have close contacts.
Hu Haiquan enjoyed different treatment as soon as he was born, and the large bookcase in the house made the young Hu Haiquan infected by the rich literary atmosphere at home when he did not know what writing was.
In the year that Hu Haiquan was born, Chen Yufan had also landed on the ground for three months.
Compared with Hu Haiquan, Chen Yufan's family background is not much worse, he grew up in the Beijing compound, his parents are from the military, and the Beijing circle is rich in resources.
At that time, the children in the Beijing circle compound had a natural sense of superiority, and although they did not study well, they were very good at fighting and flirting with their sisters.
Wang Shuo, Ye Jing, Zhao Baogang, Zheng Xiaolong and other big celebrities are good representatives, and Yu Fan lives in a courtyard with them, and he is more or less "polluted" by these brothers.
But I have to say that the children in the compound still have real skills, although the learning is average, but the artistic creation is still very inspiring.
For example, Wang Shuo grew up to become a writer, and also known as the "literary leper", Ye Jing, Zhao Baogang and other people have become famous directors, and Yu Fan liked music since he was a child, thus embarking on the road of music.
It is also purely accidental that this old brother likes music, because he has an older brother on the opposite door who often plays and sings songs of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers such as Qi Qin and Luo Dayou. Chen Yufan found it interesting and played with the old brother every day.
As soon as he came and went, he began to become more and more fascinated by music, crying and making noise for his parents to spend 50 yuan to buy him a broken wood guitar.
In this way, Chen Yufan played the guitar while going to school, because he gave the guitar a little more time, resulting in him not even being admitted to high school after graduating from junior high school.
In the end, he had to find a secondary school under the care of his parents and went to the Beijing School of Economics and Management to study accounting.
Chen's father and mother's expectations of him are very simple, when he grows up, he does not need to have too much work, just be a small accountant, but he only wants to make music.
When he was crazy, in order to play a good tune, he could sit there for ten hours without eating or drinking, not even going to the bathroom.
Mother Chen was very angry when she saw it, so she advised him not to daydream, to study accounting well, and to find a good job after graduation is the right way.
But Chen Yufan replied angrily, "Mom, you don't have to persuade me, I am sure that this road will be fixed, even if I hit the south wall, I will not turn back." ”
On the other side, Hu Haiquan is different, this old brother has been a bully-level figure since he was a child, and when other children are still playing with mud for fun, he has already begun to look around under the leadership of his father.
For example, his father took him to see the elder brother of the Zang family, and also met the celebrity of Lang Ping, and under the influence of his father, playing with literature and ink became the best thing for this old brother.
At the age of 11, he could publish literature in newspapers, and by the age of 13 he could write poetry, and writing lyrics was what he was best at.
So far, he has created more than a thousand songs, of which two hundred selected poems have been published in books, and his literary skills are quite powerful.
Because of the superior family conditions, Hu's father also arranged a piano for him to cultivate his sentiments as his hobby while studying hard.
After Hu Haiquan studied for a while, he found that he also had a special love for music, and gradually fell in love with this thing.
In the year of graduation from high school, Hu Haiquan applied for the journalism department of Xiamen University, but he did not expect that on the day of the exam, he was affected by illness and finally admitted to Shenyang Radio and Television University to study foreign trade management.
This year, 9-year-old Bai Baihe was also practicing his body at a dance training school in Qingdao to prepare for the entrance examination to the Beijing Dance Academy Affiliated High School in Beijing.
During his studies at secondary school, Chen Yufan was unfortunately diagnosed with liver disease, admitted to the hospital, and then relapsed after getting better, and repeated several times.
Because of this contagion, many of the classmates in the class were reluctant to play with him, and even the neighbors in the family avoided him far away, making him unwelcome like a "vampire".
To make matters worse, he called his girlfriend, whose father rejected him outright, telling him to keep his distance from his own daughter and not look for his daughter again.
During that time, Chen Yufan was very depressed, as if the world was insulated from him, and as a last resort, he began to devote himself to music, self-taught music theory books, and practiced playing guitar.
In 1996, Chen Yufan finally played some results, released a single, called "Forgive Me This Time", did not expect to be selected into the "Music Life Newspaper", and almost entered the top ten.
Although this achievement did not make him half a cent, it laid the foundation for his firm confidence in playing music. Playing music this road, this life is set.
This year, 21-year-old Hu Haiquan was unwilling to accept his parents' arrangement and carried a broken wooden guitar alone to go north drifting.
Before leaving, Father Hu gave him a contact map in Beijing, which was like a six-veined excalibur, which could open up the meridians in the capital and not be too embarrassed.
The 12-year-old Bai Baihe also relied on his beautiful dance posture and beautiful figure to successfully enter the Beijing Dance Academy Affiliated High School and come to Beijing alone to chase his dance dreams.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, one of them became Chen Yufan's close partner, the other became his daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a big fat son for him.
In Yu Fan's own words: "In my life, two people who can never be separated, the man is him, the woman is her." ”
Two
In 1997, the second year of Hu Haiquan's arrival in Beijing, he worked at the China Audio-Visual Products Center, 500 yuan a month, and even the rent was not enough.
There was no way, he could only live with a boiler-burning buddy, lying on the hard wooden bed every day, turning over and creaking.
Father Hu did not trust him, and this year he also ran to the capital to see him, and as a result, when he inquired with several good brothers in the capital, Hu Haiquan did not look for them at all.
Father Hu asked him why? Hu Haiquan smiled hesitantly and said, "I want to rely on myself, I don't want to trouble others, besides, I am nothing now, what are you looking for them to do!" ”
After that, Hu Haiquan jumped from the China Audio-Visual Products Center to Phantom Full Tone, where he worked as a music editor and producer, with a lot of treatment and a certain decision-making power.
After Chen Yufan tossed and turned for two years, although he had achieved some results, he wanted to make a difference in the music market, and he obviously lacked the heat.
To this end, he wanted to seek a breakthrough, and also tried to find someone to cooperate with him to make a combination, but after tossing and turning, he could not find the ideal partner.
One day, he went to Phantom Full Tone to make a record, and happened to run into Hu Haiquan, who was working in the studio, and he was doing a sample of "The Man Who Loves Romance".
Chen Yufan looked at him with a serious look, and was instantly infected by his enthusiasm for work, so he pulled him to talk, and the result was that the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
In Chen Yufan's own words: "I feel like I am chasing a girl, asking him if he would like to marry me, and after getting a positive answer, there is a feeling that he is destined for the previous life." ”
The two finally patted their thighs, and it was done, so they took a word from each other's names and formed a group called "Hazumi".
At this point, the brothers began to walk the rivers and lakes with the name of "Hazumi", one was responsible for writing lyrics, the other was responsible for writing music, and in just one year, the two made hundreds of songs.
Among them, songs such as "Turn", "Can't Feel You", "You Are the Most Beautiful in My Eyes" were all created at that time.
In 1998, Hazumi took a sample of his own work to Rolling Stone Records, and after several big guys of the Rolling Stones interviewed, they signed a contract with them on the spot and celebrated for the brothers at the Mayflower Bar.
And this day also happened to be Chen Yufan's birthday.
The following year, the second year they entered the Rolling Stones Records, they made their first album "The Most Beautiful", and when they were shooting the album cover, they went to Qingdao Shilaoren Beach to choose a scene.
Because the money given by the company was not enough, Yuquan could only squeeze in a single room with seven or eight staff members in the company, and when taking pictures, Lao Chen pointed to the villa opposite and said to Haiquan:
"If this album is on fire, and you make money later, you buy that one, I buy this one, and we'll be good neighbors for a lifetime, good buddies."
A month later, "The Most Beautiful" was listed, and sure enough, as Yu Fan expected, within a month, it was a mess, and the sales volume reached the million mark, and finally became the sales champion of the mainland in 1999.
In fact, this album is indeed "the most beautiful", and the brothers have also injected all their own efforts, and the ten works in it are almost all of their songwriting.
The singing of this album work highlights the characteristics of Chen Yufan's high-pitched voice and strong penetration, showing the aesthetic beauty and softness of Hu Haiquan's voice, and also giving full play to the natural and harmonious harmony advantages of the two brothers.
After that, their business performances received soft hands, and every day under the company's arrangement, they rushed to the road of business performances, that is, they earned money and made fame.
In 2000, Hazumi released a new album "Cold to the End", which is also a popular work, and the sales have instantly exceeded one million copies.
Immediately after, the brothers released 10 original albums such as "Love", "Thirty", "Everyone Has a Feather Spring in Their Hearts", "Regeneration", "Disobedience", etc., all of which are very good.
Among them, the sales of "Love" also reached a million copies in an instant, and songs such as "The Most Beautiful", "Rainbow", "Deep Breath", "No Thief in the World", and "Subway to Spring" have also become the classic representative works of the brothers.
But with the advent of the Internet era and the impact of Internet songs, the era that belonged to them gradually began to fade.
Three
2004 was a turning point for the two brothers.
This year, Online songs began to ravage the entire music market, and the streets and alleys were playing "Rats Love Rice" and "Two Butterflies" and other saliva songs.
And the quality music carefully created by Hazumi, the sales volume is terriblely low. For this reason, Yu Fan began to be anxious, and his heart was extremely unbalanced.
"I don't understand, we work so hard to make records, make quality music, but the market does not buy it, but the fast food music is extremely popular." 」 Yu Fan said complainingly.
Haiquan is very open, music can not be done, then we will go to open a company, be the boss, do investment, in short, what is to make money to do.
In fact, Hu Haiquan did the same, and since then, he has begun to lay out his own business map.
Chen Yufan, in addition to being interested in music, the others were not interested in the slightest.
However, this year, he did change, and followed his elder brother Ye Jing in the compound to shoot a TV series called "Days Related to Youth".
In the play, he played a courtyard boy Xu Xun, and Bai Baihe, who played Qiao Yu, played a couple, and when they came and went, the two rubbed out the spark of love.
At this time, Bai Baihe was still a student of Chinese drama, not only had good skin and beautiful temperament, but also took great initiative in Chen Yufan, and took good care of him on the set.
Chen Yufan was hungry, this sister immediately brought a bowl of hot rice, Chen Yufan wanted to wash his face, and the hot towel was quickly offered. Later, for him, he also changed his name from Bai Xue to Bai Baihe.
Subsequently, Chen Yufan broke up with his ex-girlfriend Lily, because this sister pit him a lot of money, Yu Fan was angry, and kicked her.
However, with Bai Baihe, he was also opposed by relatives and friends, and many people believed that Bai Baihe also came for his money and advised him to let go.
But after Bai Baihe passed Chen Yufan's test with money, Chen Yufan slowly accepted her, and it didn't take long to establish a relationship.
In 2005, yuquan and Rolling Stone Records' contract expired, and they wanted to try their luck with a change of company, and in addition to Rolling Stone Records, it was Huayi Music that year.
Therefore, they signed a contract with Huayi Music, started a new journey, and launched their new album "Thirty", of which the title song "Which Station" is the most popular and won many awards.
The following year, they released a new album "Friends Are Bad", but when they chose the title song on this album, the two had different opinions.
In the end, Hu Haiquan's suggestion was supported by Huayi's senior management, and the song "Friends Are Difficult" was used as the main song, and Yu Fan was obviously a little unhappy.
However, he also had happy things, this year he and Bai Baihe received a marriage license, and also gave birth to a big fat son, a family of three, happy and happy.
In the following time, Bai Baihe, under the recommendation of Chen Yufan, entered the crew of Zhao Baogang's "Who Is In Charge of My Youth", and then met the famous agent Wang Jinghua.
Under the impetus of Wang Jinghua, Bai Baihe starred in "33 Days of Lost Love", which was a fire, the drama continued, and his fame instantly surpassed Chen Yufan.
From this time on, the contradictions between the two of them also began to slowly become more, Chen Yufan felt very tired, the pressure was also very large, and he invested in several businesses because of poor management.
In addition to continuing to make music, he also did a smooth job in the commercial field, and he was not affected by the downturn in the music market at all.
In 2017, Bai Baihe, who had a great reputation, began to circulate photos of small fresh meat in Thailand, which pushed Chen Yufan to the top of public opinion for a time.
And his marriage to Bai Baihe naturally came to an end.
In 2018, on the occasion of Yuquan's 20th anniversary concert tour, Chen Yufan was imprisoned for making a mistake and his reputation plummeted, which also verified Zhang Shaohan's sentence: "How long Yuquan can persist depends on how long Yufan can persist." ”
At this point, the era that belonged to Hazumi came to an end in this way.
Four
After Chen Yufan's accident, Hu Haiquan was puzzled, and this old brother once again exerted his literary skills and directly used "100,000 whys" to ask Yufan.
This set of "whys" is not so much a questioning of Chen Yufan as it is the best way for him and Chen Yufan to draw a clear line.
The two have gone through 20 years of ups and downs, staying together every day to make music, and the little personal affair between each other, can they really not know anything?
In 2019, Hu Haiquan began to fight alone, releasing his first single "Light Years", which had a general response but far-reaching significance.
He said: "Most of the people we have met in our lives have never said goodbye, they have never said goodbye, and no one knows whether they will see each other again in their lifetimes." Childhood playmates, old classmates, most of them drifted away, going their own way, until they became passers-by one day. ”
In fact, as he said, Yu quan began to take different life directions after parting ways, and eventually went farther and farther, like a stranger.
Let's first take a look at Hu Haiquan's life situation:
Turning the clock to 2006, the year Chen Yufan and Bai Baihe got married, Hu Haiquan began to secretly plan his own business empire.
This year, he and musician Qin Tian jointly established EQ Records, and only pursued one principle, that is, the company only signed new people.
In the eyes of others, such an act is an act of death, and unless there is enough capital to support it, it will quickly go out of business.
But Hu Haiquan, who has the blood of a soldier flowing in his bones, is full of adventurism and boldly does things in secret according to his own plan.
In the first year of the company's establishment, Hu Haiquan used his keen sense of business smell to dig up two new stars, one was Ma Tianyu and the other was Wang Bingyang.
Ma Tianyu sang a song "Damn Gentle", Wang Bingyang sang a red song "Flying Dance", and two songs made Hu Haiquan's company persist for a whole year.
Subsequently, the brother continued to sign new people, relying on continuous creation and output, EQ company instantly became the leader in the industry.
In particular, the addition of Li Yifeng made Hu Haiquan sit firmly on the boss's throne.
Four years later, Hu Haiquan founded the Giant Culture Company, and also founded the Ocean Spring Fund, and began to do investment business, involving cultural, artificial intelligence, medical care, finance, real estate and other projects.
By 2020, his master culture has forty or fifty commercial projects, and he has 54 commercial companies under his umbrella, becoming a veritable domineering president.
Others on the variety show are all for gold, Hu Haiquan on the variety show in addition to gold, he can also find business opportunities everywhere, and immediately go to execution.
For example, he is on the variety show "Brother Who Cuts Thorns", many things in the show are invested by him, some are also sponsored by him, and he is completely in a state of eating melons in the show.
And the reason why he did so well was entirely because he had the foresight to know that when he and Chen Yufan were on fire, he had already begun to study secretly.
This old brother privately obtained the host certificate, the fund qualification certificate, and also went to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business to study business, and went to the lakeside university where Ma Yun engaged as a student.
There, this brother not only learned knowledge, but also met a large number of big names in the business field, interacted with each other, and grew together.
In the end, Hu Haiquan still survived the mid-life crisis perfectly, achieved a perfect cross-border, and became a veritable big boss in the circle.
Let's take a look at Chen Yufan's depressed life:
In the TV series "Days Related to Youth", there is such a clip:
Xu Xun, played by Chen Yufan, was released from prison, he looked around blankly, and only Qiao Qiao, played by Bai Baihe, came to pick him up at the prison door, and then the two hugged each other tightly.
That scene touched many people.
On the way home, Xu Xun asked Jojo: "The partners are really unrighteous, and none of them have written to me." ”
Jojo said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't always let others accompany you, don't do anything." ”
Xu Xun also said: "Brothers are now unemployed young people who are not hurt by their grandmother and uncle, and they will hide from me in the future." ”
This was indeed the case, even worse than this, because on the day Chen Yufan was released from prison, there was neither Hu Haiquan nor Bai Baihe at the prison gate.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "things are not human beings".
After gaining his freedom, Chen Yufan, it was difficult to see him and Hu Haiquan appear in the same frame again, once the two attended a friend's wedding together, and Haiquan sat far away from him.
Later, Haiquan took the stage to perform, and he sat alone in the corner wearing a duck-tongue hat, in obscurity, watching him perform on stage.
In the past, when Chen Yufan had a birthday, Haiquan was the first to participate, and even every time he organized it, but at the age of 44, there was no haiquan figure on the group photo.
In the entertainment industry, once the label of a bad artist is printed on the body, it is difficult to have a chance to turn over, in order to make a living, Yu Fan has to pick up some small commercial performance activities.
For example, to engage in a wedding host, store opening performances, etc., in short, to make a small amount of money, compared to before, it is simply a small witch.
As a pair that was once very popular, after Haiquan and Yu fan parted ways, their careers and reputation were completely different.
But who can blame all this?
