At 12:00 noon on July 6, 2022, the MV of Jay Chou's new work "The Greatest Work" was broadcast for only one minute.
More than 70,000 likes and more than 4.3 million views in one hour.
Jay Chou is definitely the hegemon of the music industry today, even if it is silent for a long time,
As long as he has a new work, it is "the return of the king".
For a singer, after so much silence,
There are still countless people waiting for him and looking forward to him, which is undoubtedly successful and lucky.
However, not everyone has such strength and luck as he has.
Many singers have also been as popular as he is, and they have been in the song world, and the album has a dazzling sales volume.
But in the end, they all gradually went downhill and were gradually forgotten.
Singer Mao Ning is one of them.
Not long ago, 60-year-old singer Dong Wenhua organized a party.
Invited a lot of former top singers.
Fu Disheng Ren Jing and his wife, Jiang Tao, Huang Hexiang, and Mao Ning, the "immortal male god" who has not appeared for a long time.
In the group photo, Mao Ning was energetic and his skin was tight, and he couldn't see that he was already a 53-year-old person.
Looking at the still handsome face of the male god, many fans have sighed,
If there hadn't been those things, maybe Mao Ning's today would be different.
First, young people become famous
For the name "Mao Ning", many young people now may be very unfamiliar,
But if you go back 30 years, back to the 90s of the last century, "Mao Ning" is a household name,
The heat is by no means lost to today's traffic students.
His classic song "The Sound of the Waves" is still a must-have track in moms' KTV.
In 1969, Mao Ning was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
Both parents worked at the provincial opera house, the father was a cellist, the mother was a bel canto singer,
There is also an older sister in the family.
Although he came from a musical family, Mao Ning has always taken the road of sports.
Due to the special factors of the times, parents engaged in literary and artistic work experienced a difficult period of time.
Like all parents, Mao Ning's parents did not want their son to eat the hardships they had suffered.
Therefore, I did not want Mao Ning's sisters and brothers to embark on this road.
When he was a child, Mao Ning was lively and active, and his parents cultivated his motor cells.
Mao Ning is also very talented, graduating from primary school and entering the provincial sports school and becoming a football player.
Later, the teacher felt that he was more suitable for practicing athletics, so he joined the track and field team.
During his time in school, Mao Ning not only achieved excellent results in various subjects, but also won many honors for the school.
In this way, Mao Ning successfully graduated from sports school according to his parents' wishes and stayed on as a teacher.
Although life was on the right track early, Mao Ning had another seed sprouting in his heart.
This seed is the seed of music, that is when Mao Ning was still studying in sports school.
One year, on the eve of the opening of the National Games, the province, in order to boost morale,
A grand performance was specially held, and well-known singers such as Tu Honggang and Jinggangshan were invited.
Mao Ning, who usually likes to sing, was selected by everyone as a student representative to perform on stage.
It was Mao Ning's first performance on stage, and he had no professional training, so nervous that his palms were sweating and his heart was beating faster.
Maybe it's because I've heard about my parents since I was a child, or maybe I've inherited my parents' musical genes.
Mao Ning's performance was very successful, with beautiful singing and harmonious tunes, which surprised both teachers and classmates.
The applause under the stage and everyone's affirmation made Mao Ning feel very accomplished.
So a seed of music was planted in his heart at that time.
The life of staying in school to teach is boring, and every day is faced with day after day of practice.
In such an environment, the seed in Mao Ning's heart began to take root and sprout,
So he plucked up the courage to tell his parents what he thought, he wanted to be a singer, not a teacher.
His parents respected his decision and introduced him to the Liaoning Provincial Opera House.
In the theater, Mao Ning, who was handsome and had a beautiful voice, soon became the lead singer.
And also released a cover album "The Highest Peak".
The success of this album made Mao Ning also dream of becoming a star,
Just at this time, a former friend returned from Guangzhou.
In my friend's description, Guangzhou is a singer-making city, and as long as you go there, you will definitely be famous.
After Mao Ning listened, he firmly believed in his friend's description, and despite his parents' objections, he went south to Guangzhou alone.
At that time, Guangzhou was indeed a city with a relatively leading development in China, not only full of gold, but also full of singers.
But when mao Ning arrived there, he found that there were countless singers like him who came to Guangzhou to seek development.
The competitive pressure can be imagined, Chen Ming, Lin Yilun, Huofeng, etc. are all members of this team.
There is also an obscure combination called "Blue Wind Sand".
Helpless, Mao Ning could only rent the cheapest house and make a living by singing in song halls and restaurants.
In fact, most singers with musical dreams have had the experience of singing in the song hall.
Stars like Chen Ming, Fire Wind, and Sun Nan, who later became popular, have all sung in the dance hall.
Of course, there are also some people who have been singing for many years and have not waited for the signing of the record company.
For example, a rock band called "Blue Sands" is a rock band.
In the process of staying at the running field, Mao Ning met Yang Yuying, who was also "fooled" into coming to Guangzhou.
Similar situations make the two feel sorry for each other, and the friendship quickly heats up,
Later, I simply recognized my brothers and sisters, helped each other at work, and took care of each other in life.
Not long after, Yang Yuying, who looked pure and had a sweet voice, was discovered by musicians.
Signed a contract with Guangzhou New Era Audio-Visual Company.
Yang Yuying, who found the owner, did not forget her brother Mao Ning,
Under the recommendation of Yang Yuying, Mao Ning was also favored by the musician Li Haiying and signed it.
He and his sister Yang Yuying became the same door.
The brothers and sisters who supported each other soon experienced what it was like to be stars.
Yang Yuying has launched two albums, "Blessing for Love" and "Flowers in Dreams", and the sales are ideal.
Mao Ning released his first solo album "Please Let My Emotions Stay with You", which has sold more than one million copies.
The classic heirloom track "The Sound of the Waves" is from this album.
Mao Ning suddenly went from an unknown little singer to the most popular male singer in Guangdong Province.
And it won the award for three consecutive years.
The so-called red is not much, when Mao Ning is red,
A fight between him and his friend Zhang Mi was infinitely magnified.
In the end, it evolved into the singing of the song "Blue Blue Night Blue Dream".
With the help of the media, things have become more and more intense, and everyone has supported Mao Ning one-sidedly.
Condemning Zhang Mi, causing Zhang Mi to be overwhelmed and go away.
This was the first time Mao Ning felt the power of public opinion, although he was the beneficiary.
However, his heart was very uncomfortable, and he felt sorry for the suffering of his friend Zhang Mi, but he had no choice.
1993 was an unusual year for both siblings.
This year, Yang Yuying became red with the theme song "I Don't Want to Say" of "Foreign Sister".
Mao Ning took to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and sang "The Sound of the Waves Remains" for the people of the whole country.
On the stage, the scene where he wears a white scarf on the female accompanist dance has fascinated thousands of young girls.
Also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala this year,
There is also a good friend Jiang Tao who attended Dong Wenhua's birthday party with Mao Ning.
He debuted in the same year as Mao Ning, although he defeated Mao Ning, Sun Yue, Fire Wind and others in the Youth Song Competition.
Won the Youth Song Contest.
But on the Spring Festival Gala stage with Hang Tianqi, Hu Yue and others to sing "Oriental Light" Jiang Tao,
But there is no Mao Ning scenery.
Overnight, the handsome and tall Mao Ning became the "Prince Charming" in the hearts of countless young girls.
Letters from fans filled the tv station's mailroom, packing up several sacks.
Wherever he performs, there will be fans waiting outside the performance room in the morning.
Mao Ning, whose life was finally stable, took his parents from his hometown to his side.
In order to make his parents live better, Mao Ning deliberately gritted his teeth and rented a two-bedroom apartment.
At that time, singers were different from today's stars, and did not have millions of appearance fees.
Even if it is popular all over the country, the rent of two-bedroom apartments is still a bit stressful for Mao Ning.
For this reason, he could only take on more work, although he was tired, but he was willing to be with his parents.
Looking at Yang Yuying and Mao Ning both red,
The company came up with a brilliant marketing plan – "bundling".
Mao Ning and Yang Yuying, two brothers and sisters, formed a "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" group under the company's arrangement.
The woman is sweet and lovely, the man is handsome and handsome, and the name is very appropriate.
Their chorus of love songs, "Heart Rain", pushed the group's popularity to a climax.
The popularity of the two continued to rise, and the company also took the opportunity to hold a "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" national tour.
The tacit cooperation between the two on the stage and the emotional interaction offstage made everyone think that they were a couple of lovers.
However, just when Mao Ning's career was singing all the way, bad news came one after another.
Second, bad luck follows
That summer, Mao Ning went to Beijing to attend an event, received a call from his father, and his mother suddenly suffered a heart attack.
The performance was about to begin, and Mao Ning, who had no way to hold back his sadness, went on stage to perform.
By the time he rushed back to Guangzhou, his mother had already left, looking at her mother's last countenance.
Mao Ning knelt on the ground and sang his mother's favorite song "The Sound of the Waves Remains" for his mother.
After the death of her mother, her sister took her father back to Shenyang to take care of her in order to let Mao Ning concentrate on her work.
Probably because the death of his wife was too devastating, and his father's body collapsed, and it was not as good as a day.
In the late autumn of that year, Mao Ning received the bad news of his father's death.
Like the mother, the father walked equally abruptly.
When his parents died, he was never able to see the last of them, which became a regret that Mao Ning could never make up.
Mao Ning, who was just 25 years old, had to bear the pain of the bereavement of his parents who had left one after another.
He began to resent his work, and Mao Ning thought to himself: If he had not chosen to be a singer in the first place,
Instead, continue to be a teacher, then you will not miss the death of your parents.
Under this negative emotion, Mao Ning came up with the idea of quitting the music scene.
Later, under the guidance of the company in turn, Mao Ning continued his singing career.
However, Mao Ning's side has just decided to continue to move forward, and her partner Yang Yuying has announced that she will quit the music scene and return home to marry.
The death of his parents and the departure of his partner made Mao Ning also decide to leave the sad place of Guangzhou.
So after the contract expired, Mao Ning, like many singers, chose to go north to develop.
The famous Mao Ning signed a contract with Sony Company smoothly.
However, Beijing is no better than Guangzhou, and Sony is not the new era video in Guangzhou.
There are a large number of well-known singers here, and the company will naturally favor one over the other for the sake of profit.
When he first joined Sony, the company also wanted to build Mao Ning well, and also planned an international route for him.
However, at that time, there was a large influx of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, and the overall environment of the mainland market was not good.
Mao Ning's albums did not sell as well as one, and the company began to reduce its investment in him.
When Mao Ning's career began to decline,
Jiang Tao, a friend who has been on the Spring Festival Gala for 9 consecutive times, has released his second album "My Dream Burns in the Snow".
Huang Bo, the lead singer of "Blue Wind and Sand", gave up being a singer and transformed into an actor because he starred in the movie "Get on the Car, Let's Go".
On the evening of November 22, 2000, Mao Ning, who was walking on the road, encountered a strange man.
The man approached Mao Ning under the pretext of borrowing fire from Mao Ning, then pulled out a knife and put it on his abdomen, threatening him to hand over the money.
After Mao Ning handed over the cash and mobile phone on his body, the other party was still not satisfied, and he still wanted to rob his car.
Mao Ning refused, and the two had a physical conflict, and Mao Ning was stabbed in the abdomen by the other party with a knife and fell to the ground.
Eventually, he was taken to the hospital by well-wishers passing by.
But what people did not expect was that this vicious and hurtful incident was used by "people with hearts".
Mao Ning was stabbed because of the rumors of emotional entanglement.
Mao Ning, who was recuperating in the hospital, would not have dreamed that the rumors about this incident would become like that.
A few days later, the police issued an announcement saying that the suspect Guan Ming confessed to the facts of the crime.
It also clarified that the reports of some outside media are not true.
But public opinion has not stopped.
What was even more frightening was that a few days later, a man named "Fan Xiaoyu" appeared.
This Fan Xiaoyu claimed that he knew the inside story of the matter.
Mao Ning was injured because he robbed Guan Ming's lover.
In addition, Fan Xiaoyu also said that he and Mao Ning were once lovers, and the two met in Beijing.
He had as many as sixty "ironclad proofs" in his hands.
Fan Xiaoyu's words were hyped up by unscrupulous tabloid reporters without confirmation.
Later, Fan Xiaoyu staged a suicide scene, as if he could not withstand the pressure of Mao Ning's team.
After this farce of dog blood, Mao Ning's image fell to the bottom.
Mao Ning's cause suffered a devastating blow as a result.
Even his friend Yaning was innocently linked for visiting him in the hospital and was caught up in the whirlpool of public opinion.
During that time, Mao Ning, who was deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, once again felt the lethality of public opinion.
The difference is that this time he was the victim.
Although Mao Ning repeatedly explained in the show that he was robbed at that time, because he would be injured by the other party because of resistance,
But people still choose to believe more gossipy rumors.
In the face of endless rumor-mongering, Mao Ning was helpless and once fell into depression.
During that time, he refused to contact everyone and shut himself in the house alone.
I didn't dare to listen to the radio or turn on the TV.
Fortunately, the former good sister Cai Ming extended a helping hand to him and pulled him out of the abyss.
Although there was no cooperation between Mao Ning and Cai Ming, the two had known each other for a long time.
Cai Ming not only admired Mao Ning's talent, but also liked his cheerful and elegant personality.
After learning that Mao Ning had an accident, Cai Ming would text him every day.
Regardless of whether Mao Ning returns or not, Cai Ming will insist, writing a good text message word by word,
Send your own care and encouragement to Mao Ning in the abyss.
In interviews years later, Mao Ning recalled that dark time,
He said that the person he was most grateful for was Cai Ming, and Cai Ming's information was extremely precious to him at that time.
He copied every text message into a notebook and read it over and over again.
It was not until April 2001, when Fan Xiaoyu was arrested by the police for theft, that the truth of the matter surfaced.
It turned out that the real name of the man who called himself Mao Ning's former lover was not Fan Xiaoyu, but Wang You'an.
The reporter learned through interviews with his parents that Wang You'an did not know Mao Ning, let alone had not been to Beijing.
The truth has come out, but there are still many people who choose to believe the fabricated facts and resist Mao Ning.
After a year of silence, Mao Ning gradually came out of the haze, but the outside world had changed.
Because of those spurious stories, his career plummeted.
At this time, the former sister returned.
Yang Yuying, who broke up with the rich, wanted to return to the music scene, so she invited Mao Ning to be a guest at her concert.
The former "golden boy and jade girl", when they cooperate again, they are no longer beautiful,
One was identified as "unorthodox" due to rumors, and one was exposed to be supported by rich businessmen, which could not help but make people sigh.
After this, Yang Yuying saw that the audience was not "cold" to her comeback.
The rumors from the outside world have been disturbed again, so they chose to retreat again.
Mao Ning chose to face life positively and start from scratch.
He began to try to transform into a host, and also took over the TV series.
In "Ping Trace Shadow", Mao Ning played the role of black and white Moke, who did not weigh heavily.
The slightly exaggerated shape makes people see Mao Ning's dilemma,
The "Love Song Prince", which was once very popular, can never return to its peak.
Although trying to transform, Mao Ning never gave up his musical dream.
He re-signed with 21 Oriental Records and went on to release his own albums.
Unfortunately, sales have always been flat, and there is no longer a million sales of that year.
In 2012, on the evening stage of Hunan Satellite TV's small Chinese New Year's Eve, the former "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" was reunited again.
The affectionate duet sang the classic love song "Heart Rain" that touched countless people that year.
After nearly twenty years of singing again,
This wave of "memory killing" has allowed Mao Ning to gain a lot of traffic and attention, and his career has also ushered in a new dawn.
Not only has a new album been released, but there are also more opportunities to perform,
He was also invited as a guest by some music programs as a singing senior.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and it was not long before Mao Ning's career suffered another fatal blow.
Unlike the last time he was stabbed, this time it was entirely Mao Ning's own doing.
Third, the difference between one thought and one mind, the cause is ruined
In 2015, under the report of the world's fifth largest intelligence organization " Sunrise Masses",
Mao Ning was arrested by the police for taking D products.
Mao Ning, who used to speak out righteously when other artists sucked D, was now punched in the face by himself.
After sucking D, Mao Ning became a bad artist and could no longer be on the stage of the mainstream media.
After that, he gradually disappeared from the public eye.
People can only speculate about his living conditions through his few words on social platforms.
Later, there was news on the Internet that Mao Ning had already married and had children, and his wife's name was Li Jingping.
He was married before he became famous, and their sons were in their twenties.
It is also said that the security guards of the Maoning residential community have seen their family of three going in and out together many times.
The matter is written conclusively, but it is like the "ironclad evidence" of that year,
Except for a photo of Mao Ning and the woman, there is no other strong evidence.
In recent years, Mao Ning has often appeared on some commercial performances.
In March this year, some netizens filmed Mao Ning appearing in a commercial performance of a beauty institution.
On the simple stage, Mao Ning's suit is straight, and his expression is relaxed and serious,
The singing is very engaged, and frequently interacts with the audience.
Watching the former "Prince of Love Songs" degenerate into commercial performances and singing, people can't help but feel a thousand emotions.
Some people say that Mao Ning's ending is caused by the factors of the times.
Even without these things, Mao Ning could not develop too well,
Most of the singers like his contemporaries have disappeared in the entertainment industry.
This statement seems to have some truth, but in fact it is too one-sided.
When the pop music in the mainland was affected by the pop music of Hong Kong and Taiwan, many people chose to actively transform.
Dai Jun, who relied on the fire of "Ah Lian", became the host and successfully gained a foothold in the hosting industry.
Huang Bo of "Blue Wind and Sand" was admitted to The North Shadow and became today's 10 billion film emperors from a dragon set actor.
Similarly, some people choose to stick to the dedication to music, and his friend Jiang Tao is one of them.
This singer who has been honored at the Spring Festival Gala for many times, "Evergreen Tree", is still an invited guest of major evenings.
It's the "old man" of the music industry, and of course someone else has made another choice.
Like Yin Xiangjie, Man Wenjun, Jinggangshan and Mao Ning, they chose to directly end their careers with D products.
Mao Ning's career declined because he was framed, and although it was sympathetic, it was he who really destroyed it.
If he hadn't chosen to take D products and trample on the law,
Maybe he can still appear on the stage of the mainstream media,
Sing their favorite songs for the fans who love him.
Unfortunately, there is no if in the world, and Mao Ning can never repeat yesterday's story.
His "old ticket" can no longer be on the stage of the big screen.
