The Chinese music scene had two outlet periods, one was in the 1990s, when pop music was just emerging, and the other was the bud of the Internet after the new century, so that many songs were circulated.
Therefore, many famous singers have been born in these two periods, and they are often popular all over the country because of a song, and even become the youth memory of a generation.
Don't underestimate the power of a song, some singers earn hundreds of millions of dollars with a song, fame and fortune, soaring, and reversing their fate.
It is not difficult to be red for a while, seize the opportunity to become a pig on the cusp, and the difficulty is that talent and virtue can be worthy of the position.
It is a pity to see him rise up a tall building and see him collapse, such stories are not uncommon.
The girl took stock of the current situation of the 10 singers who "eat a song for a lifetime", many fell to the altar, and the three were contaminated with drugs.
First place: Tai Zhengxiao | "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses"
Tai was born into a medical family and studied medicine, but his original dream was to become a martial artist.
Who would have thought that a music contest would change his life.
A self-created rock song "Helpless" made Tai Zhengxiao get the favor of the music company and thus embark on the road of music.
In the third year of his debut, Tai Zhengxiao became popular with "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses".
The song is from his album Find a Word instead, the original song is from the Japanese rock band "Moonlight" and the pipa song "Yi Dance", the arranger doubled the tune of the chorus and changed individual notes.
Lyricist Lin Linan originally wrote the lyrics of "nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses", Tai Zhengxiao felt that the number was too much, so he changed it to "nine hundred and ninety-nine roses".
The tune is catchy, the lyrics are easy to understand, and the song is widely sung in response to the wave of popular music.
Therefore, Tai Zhengxiao and Zhang Xinzhe were once known as the "Prince of Love Songs".
Tai Zhengxiao also has a patent is "digital love songs", after "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses", his "Thousand Paper Cranes" and "One Thousand and One Nights" also achieved good results, and these three songs were collectively called "Three Thousand Love Songs".
In that era, Tai Zhengxiao's characteristics were obvious, he combined lyric songs and rock music, which not only satisfied the popularity of popular music, but also conveyed the freedom of rock and roll.
When he reached the top of the music scene, Tai Zhengxiao was not yet 30 years old.
If Tai Zhengxiao is dedicated to creating, he may still be able to break through the loneliness of the Chinese music scene, but he has a heart to be a boss.
Later, he opened a music company and praised Zhong Hanliang and Li Shengjie, but he could not keep up with the times, and he could only be forgotten by the audience little by little.
In recent years, Tai Zhengxiao is still creating, but when the traffic singers cannot survive, the singers who have been angry can not get a piece of the pie.
In order to survive, Tai Zhengxiao could only follow the cheap commercial performance, and the fatal thing was that when he sang "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses" again, he was completely out of tune.
Netizens have complained, a song has been sung for a lifetime, the more singing the more amateurish.
In addition, Tai Is also occasionally active on social platforms, and he once recorded a video saying that his daughter is coming back and wants to scare her.
While everyone was waiting for his daughter to appear, he actually said, "Forget that I didn't have a daughter." ”
This self-directed and self-acting drama can be called a horror film, and it has attracted netizens to complain.
Today's Tai Zhengxiao is over fifty years old, and he has long lost the vigor of his youth, nor has he lost his past talent and aura, and it is inevitable that he will be abandoned by the times.
Second place: Yang Chengang | "Mice Love Rice"
Before "Rats Love Rice" became popular, Yang Chen had just played music for 8 years, from guitarist to learning to compose, he had never been able to find a way out.
Unexpectedly, after entering the 21st century, the advent of the Internet era allowed Yang Chen to seize the wind.
The song "Mouse Loves Rice" became popular all over the country and became the background music of countless Internet cafes, with 6 million downloads in a single month, breaking the Guinness Book of Records.
At the same time, Yang Chen just sang this song on the Spring Festival Gala stage, becoming the first online singer in history to appear on the big stage.
In addition to the thriving fame, the actual income brought by this song to Yang Chengang is as high as 170 million, which is money that ordinary people can't earn in ten lifetimes.
Just when Yang Chen was just dizzy by this huge amount of money, crises came one after another.
1. Copyright disputes.
Yang Chengang originally gave this song to music producer Wang Hu, and after being packaged by Wang Hu Company, he changed the original name of "So Love You" to "Mouse Loves Rice".
Unexpectedly, Yang Chengang uploaded "Mouse Loves Rice" to the Internet without Wang Hu's consent, and also signed his own name, thus making a lot of money.
Wang Hu naturally couldn't stand this breath, and in a fit of rage, he sued Yang Chengang in court and claimed 24 million yuan.
The copyright war ended with Yang Chengang losing the case.
2. One scandal after another.
There are not many people, yang Chengang was once exposed to intimidate fans and abuse emotions.
In order to save word of mouth, after the death of Yang Lijuan's father, he took the initiative to donate 20,000 yuan, and later it was revealed that he was putting on a show in the name of public welfare.
3, was defrauded of 10 million.
Yang Chengang wanted to be red too much, and someone threw an olive branch at him, saying that he would package him, and the result was that he was defrauded of 10 million.
After overdrawing all the word of mouth, Yang Chengang was finally forgotten in the rolling red dust, and every time the song "Mouse Loves Rice" was sung, it gave him an extra slap.
Third place: Pang Long| "Two Butterflies"
In 2004, the songs that competed with "Rats Love Rice" were Pang Long's "Two Butterflies", and even once crushed Daolang's "The First Snow of 2002" and Jay Chou's "Qilixiang".
At that time, it was the era of the rise of color ringtones, and "Two Butterflies" was downloaded more than 15 million times, and the revenue was as high as 200 million.
This song can become popular, just like fate.
Creator Niu Chaoyang has been pressing this song at the bottom of the box for seven or eight years, just when Pang Long, who just debuted, wanted to release a second album, so he took this song as the title song, and he did not expect to be a hit.
At that time, the song was still an episode of the TV series "281 Letters", and the ratings of the TV series did not meet expectations, but the song went out of the circle first.
Pang Long, who came from the grassroots, was swallowed up by huge fame and fortune, won the prize and won the soft hand, and was on the Spring Festival Gala four times.
Later, he also wrote a song "You Are My Rose".
Seeing the stars shining brightly, Pang Long still could not control his fame.
In 2010, he and Andy Lau held a concert in the same city on the same day, and when a reporter asked him what was the biggest difference between him and Andy Lau, he said something that was enough to make him regret it for a lifetime: "I went to music college, Andy Lau did not go to school." ”
This sentence caused Dissatisfaction among Andy Lau fans, and Pang Long has since fallen into the excuse of "arrogance".
Later, Pang Long had a conflict with the record company, thus losing the singing qualification of "Two Butterflies".
Today's Pang Long is 60 years old, has long disappeared into the vast sea of people, and his name has been forever silent with this era.
Fourth place: Mao Ning| "The Sound of the Waves"
When mao ning is mentioned, many people will think of the song "Heart Rain" sung by him and Yang Yuying.
Indeed, in the 1990s, Mao Ning and Yang Yuying were a golden boy and jade girl group, which was a musical match.
However, what really made Mao Ning break away from Yang Yuying's aura was the song "The Sound of the Waves Is Still There".
This song is different from the popular Internet song, the creator Chen Xiaoqi was inspired by the Tang poem "Fengqiao Night Berth", and words such as fishing fire, fengqiao, bells, and passenger ships laid the aesthetic mood of this song.
Therefore, songs such as "Mouse Loves Rice" and "Two Butterflies" are like a gust of wind, blowing and scattering, but "The Sound of the Waves" is still a classic until now.
In 1993, Mao Ning sang this song on the Spring Festival Gala stage, which established his image of positive sunshine.
If there is no accident, Mao Ning should become a national singer like Yang Yuying, but he still has less luck.
The first thing that brought Mao Ning down from the altar was the assassination in 2000.
At that time, Mao Ning was besieged by three small hooligans, Mao Ning was originally a victim, but it was exposed that this was an emotional dispute, and it was also rumored that Mao Ning's sexual orientation was different from ordinary people.
This true and false rumor made Mao Ning's image plummet.
Later, Yang Yuying tried to pull Mao Ning over, but Yang Yuying also fell into the peach blossom disaster and was unable to protect herself.
In those years, Mao Ning wandered on the edge of the music world, taking over business performances and making TV dramas to survive.
However, Mao Ning still did not cherish the feathers on his body and fell into the abyss of drugs.
Now Mao Ning will also receive commercial performances from time to time, in a recent commercial performance, Mao Ning is not only blessed, but also has a stiff face and is questioned for plastic surgery.
"The Sound of the Waves" is still singing, but the song is as old as ever, and people have long been unrecognizable.
Fifth place: East to East| "Don't Say My Tears You Don't Matter"
The original name of Donglai Dongdong was Dai Enze, because he had a nickname "Dongdong", so he gave himself a stage name of "Donglai Dongdong".
The song "Don't Say Your Tears You Don't Matter" was not written by a college student named Yang Bing.
Yang Bing once gave the song to singer Zhang Zhenyu, but he had no sense of copyright and posted the song on the Internet.
When he heard this song, he sang it in the Internet Popular Singer Competition and won the second place.
After the song became popular, the record company that signed the east and west bought the copyright with 10,000 pieces and Yang Bing.
"Don't Say Your Tears You Don't Matter" can become popular is not surprising, its popular lyrics, just hit the poignant feelings in the hearts of young boys and girls.
Dong lai dong xiang himself has also experienced bumpy love, and when he sings this song, he is even more affectionate.
After this song, Donglai Dongxiang became an Internet celebrity like Pang Long and Yang Chengang, and he also released songs such as "I want to quit smoking for you" and "Even crying is my fault", and the response was still good.
However, with the updated iteration of the Chinese music scene, bitter love songs and saliva songs are no longer popular with fans, and no new songs have been released since 2016.
Who would have thought that three years later, the news of the coming and going again would be related to drugs.
He was 36 years old and sentenced to one year and seven months in prison.
At this point, the brilliant life of coming and going from the east has completely closed the prelude.
Sixth place: Tang Lei| "Lilac Flower"
In 2000, Tang Lei, who was still a senior in college, heard the poignant love story of his friends and girlfriends around him, and combined with his confusion about feelings and the future, he gave birth to the song "Lilac Flower".
By the time "Lilac" was officially launched, it was two years later.
In 2002, the Internet just emerged, Tang Lei passed on a small sample of this song to netizens, so it was passed on ten, ten to a hundred, and slowly became popular.
This song can catch fire, not only because of the topic of love and life and death in the song, but also because of the story behind this song.
There are many versions of the story, the most widely circulated version was also published in the magazine "Reader", about Tang Lei met a girl named Zeng Mengjie on the Internet, this girl was seriously ill, Tang Lei has been encouraging her, and then Zeng Mengjie died, and her favorite flower is lilac.
This version was believed by many people to be true, which gave the song "Lilac" more connotations.
Years later, Tang Lei stood up to debunk the rumors, saying that the story was not true.
After becoming popular with "Lilac", Tang Lei signed a contract with a music company, released an album, and officially debuted.
Later, Tang Lei always wanted to copy the success of "Lilac Flower", so he created songs such as "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" and "Window Sill of Falling Flowers", and made up a story for these songs.
It's a pity that poignant love stories have been heard a lot, and fans are tired of it.
After experiencing signing, terminating, signing and then signing, and then terminating, Tang Lei once did everything he could to set up his own music company and help himself produce albums, but he failed to stir up a splash.
Now Tang Lei is no longer obsessed with the music career, he has become a music teacher, preaching and teaching, and living in peace.
Looking back at Tang Lei's star path, it is like fireworks, after the brilliant is an endless darkness, which is Tang Lei's fate, but also the fate of countless Internet singers.
As Tang Lei said: "Life is like buying lottery tickets, no one can guarantee that every ticket can win the lottery."
Seventh place: Dai Jun| "Ah Lian"
When Dai Jun was approached by the Dazang Art Company in Beijing in 1995, he had been singing at a Shenzhen nightclub for five years.
The clear voice and elegant appearance doomed Dai Jun's extraordinary singing path.
This year, he recorded an album "Alian, Bride", one of which was extremely popular, won all the Golden Melody Awards of the year, and also sold millions of copies for this album.
The sudden fame and fortune made Dai Jun a little fluttery.
At that time, the olive branch of the Spring Festival Gala was thrown to Dai Jun, but instead of letting him sing "Ah Lian", he was asked to sing "The Wine of September 9" with four other singers.
Dai Jun, who is in the limelight, is unwilling and says that this song is not his own style.
You know, the sense of weight of the Spring Festival Gala in that era is not comparable to now, as long as you stand on this stage, you are one step closer to the big red.
However, Dai Jun personally snuffed out this excellent opportunity, he thought he could maintain his position with his talent, but he did not expect that later, he even released two albums with a mediocre response, and also saddled with the insult of "offending CCTV".
The album did not sell, and his relationship with the music company was also strained, not only terminating the contract, but also almost going to court.
Successive incidents made Dai Jun the "fastest singer ever", and later he transformed into a host and became a good partner with Li Jing before breaking a path.
However, the controversy surrounding Dai Jun has never dissipated, especially the "broken back" friendship with a male artist, which was once very colorful.
After the suspension of "Super Visit", Dai Jun's career did not improve, and he could only wander in various variety shows.
As for the identity of Dai Jun's singer, not many people can remember it.
Eighth place: Li Chunbo | "Xiaofang"
In 1993, Li Chunbo sang the whole country with a song "Xiaofang", and the sales of the album of the same name exceeded the million mark in half a year.
Therefore, this year has also been called "Xiaofang Nian" and "Li Chunbo Nian" by the media.
This folk style was unique in the pop music scene at that time, it was different from the mainstream Hong Kong and Taiwan love songs, and its creative background was a unique historical element of "going up the mountain and going to the countryside".
Li Chunbo did not experience this period, it was his brother and sister who served as "Zhiqing", so he often described with him the life at that time and the sadness and joy after returning to the city.
Inspired by Li Chunbo, he sketched a "Xiaofang" image in his heart, thus writing "Xiaofang".
Another reason why "Xiaofang" has become popular is also the rise of karaoke, and songs like this that can resonate strongly are widely circulated among amateur singers and music lovers.
After this song, Li Chunbo wrote "A Family Letter" to express his gratitude and thoughts to his parents, which also made people cry.
The success of these two songs laid the foundation for Li Chunbo's position in the music world.
However, after becoming famous, Li Chunbo did not continue to study music, but instead studied directing professionally, bent on directing film and television works.
The reality is very cruel, like Li Chunbo, a halfway monk, has no capital, no connections, and it is too difficult to achieve the ideal.
As a result, the later Li Chunbo did not have more achievements in the field of film and television and music, and could only be forgotten little by little in the suddenly changing entertainment circle.
Ninth place: Wang Rong| "I am not Huang Rong"
Wang Rong's first appearance in the music world was the song "Cloud Doesn't Know the Rain Knows", but it was still a song away from the popularity.
6 years later, Wang Rong had the song "I Am Not Huang Rong", which was fully composed by Wang Rong, who integrated the popular hip-hop, electronic music and rock into one, so that the song catered to the tastes of young people, thus getting a high degree of popularity.
In the year of fame, Wang Rong was only 26 years old, young and beautiful, talented, making him an idol of countless people and standing on the stage of unlimited scenery.
It's just that in the entertainment industry, the circle of fame and profit, a little careless, full of losses.
Wang Rong was once invited to a live event, asking her to pretend to lose her hand, the glass fell off and hit the host's head, the host pretended to be injured, and finally gave the audience a reversal that was not injured.
As a result, this drama Wang Rong was completed as required, but the program team did not present the second half to the audience, resulting in Wang Rong falling into controversy and even being rumored to be a "female madman".
Later, Huang Rong fell into the "plastic surgery" storm, and his appearance changed greatly, and the star path fell sharply.
In order to save her career, Wang Rong's painting style gradually deviated, and her songs changed from popular music to vulgar saliva songs, from lyrics to costumes.
Her "Boiled Fish" was once considered a plagiarism of "Mice Love Rice".
Over the years, Wang Rong is still creating, but now Wang Rong is no longer the original Wang Rong.
Tenth place: Manchu Army | "Understand You"
In 1996, Man Wenjun won the first place in the Youth Song Contest with the song "Understand You", and since then his fame has risen.
With the help of Li Li, the road to The Song World of Man Wenjun was stable and steady, with several albums such as "Wangxiang", "I Need You", "Season of Missing" and so on.
Although the popularity of these albums is not as good as "Understand You", The voice and talent of Man Wenjun are recognized by the industry.
No one expected that the Manchu Army, who had been poor and too red, would actually get involved with drugs.
Li Li was the initiator of this storm, but the Manchu Army could not escape it.
Since then, Man Wenjun's music career has fallen to the bottom, and he tried to make a comeback, but he could never erase the stain on his body.
The former national singer has become a popular artist, not the shackles given to him by the times, but he personally cut off his own future.
The girl said
These ten singers have all been popular throughout the country because of a song, and they have also been the youth memories of a generation.
Years have passed, and the people who listened to their songs have entered middle age, and now looking back at their life trajectory, people can't help but sigh.
It's not so much that the times have abandoned them, but that their abilities are not worthy of ambition.
Most of them were born at the bottom, suffered the hardships of life, and suffered countless coldness and ridicule, but these sufferings did not keep them in awe.
After being wrapped up in great fame and fortune, they inevitably lose themselves and self-destruct their future.
Therefore, the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, the scenery is infinite, and on the other hand, it is an abyss. (End)
【Healing Girl】Record the sudden changes in the entertainment industry, thank you for your praise and attention!
