At the beginning of the second season of "Cut through Thorns", the former post-70s and 80s girls also began to boil, and "Su Youpeng's girl" re-emerged.
In fact, I wrote an article about the boy band and girl group I once chased two years ago, and I kept it in the draft box and didn't send it, and I forgot it when I was busy.
At that time, even the title was thought out, and now when I come back to see it, the content is really in a word.
2 years later, "Brother Pi" and "Sister Lang" arrived as promised, and the fire was still the person I wrote about in this article.
It's time for this 10,000-word article to see if my predictions from 2 years ago are accurate to date.
In the past few years, even Si Di and Zi Mi have become star chasers, and they are chasing three boys who are red all over the country, TFboys.
A few years ago, the two chicks did not know that TFboys were not brothers, and the two were still jealous of their three boys, from looks, to songs, to acting skills are in a comparison, proper battle level star chasing girl!
This is all pediatrics in front of the old mother, and even the wrinkled middle-aged women are also girls who have grown up.
For me, a middle-aged woman, the Little Tigers are the memories of youth!
The first song released by the Little Tigers is "Green Apple Paradise", followed by "Love" and "Red Dragonfly".
At that time, the girls were divided into three categories, the most liked the thunderbolt tiger, the second most obedient tiger, but the little handsome tiger Chen Zhipeng, relatively few.
The female students in the class were divided into Wu Qilong and Su Youpeng factions, and the content of the quarrel was similar to today' level, appearance, dance, singing... It's all the gunpowder smell of the tip of a needle on Mai Mang.
Time is really too fast, the girls and children of that year, can chase the stars.
Although the Little Tigers flew alone, Wu Qilong, Su Youpeng, Chen Zhipeng, and the people on TV were still there, looking at them, it was as if they saw their youthful and flying themselves, and they were happy when they thought about it.
Combination red is not red is metaphysics, but whether it can be red for a long time and become the white moonlight in the mind, there are really traces to follow.
First of all, let's talk about the Little Tigers, which have been in the limelight recently, and its birth is very accidental.
In the 1980s, there were no regular idol groups in Taiwan, especially boy groups that took the youth route, most of them were idols who fought alone, or singers who took the creative route similar to Bao Xiaosong and Bao Xiaobai.
Those who know these two singers by now should be at least 25 years old
In July 1988, Zhang Xiaoyan, a Taiwanese gold medal host and producer, founded a variety show "Youth Confrontation", which included a kitten team of three female hosts.
In order to make the whole more harmonious, it was decided to hire three male assistants of similar age, and the yin and yang were harmonized.
In the end, 18-year-old sports student Wu Qilong, 15-year-old high-quality student Su Youpeng, and 17-year-old dance student Chen Zhipeng successfully debuted.
This photo is the first group photo taken for them by the agent of the Little Tigers, Song Wenshan, who died of illness at the end of July this year at the age of 67.
It turns out that the boy band is more popular than the girl group, and the three people just hand props and take the microphone in the show, which can attract the cheers of countless little girls.
Agent Song Wenshan consulted with the company boss and directly asked the Little Tigers to resign from the position of assistant, send secret training, and debut into a group to issue records.
In February 1989, the Little Tigers began their boy band career with a song "Happy New Year", but even more popular was "Green Apple Paradise", one of the three famous songs of the Little Tigers.
In 2010, the spring evening of the Year of the Tiger reproduced this song, as the last song, adding up to hundreds of years old boy band singing and dancing, the foundation is not reduced.
How hot were the Tigers in the '90s? I can say without exaggeration that they were the first groups to usher in the fan era.
The terms "star chaser" and "star chaser" used now were created after the Tigers became popular.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, wherever the Tigers performed, there was a lot of gongs and drums, and the sound of people was boiling.
They held a "Getaway Container - Little Tigers" as the theme of the concert, quite personal and novel, the Little Tigers jumped out of the container, stood in front of the container to sing to the public.
The audience under the stage, a large piece of black pressure.
The first autograph meeting was held at the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Square in Taipei, where about 20,000 people came to attend, and almost the square was full.
Before this autograph meeting, the Little Tigers joked that few people were coming, but the pressure was all people, and the staff could not stop it and was forced to cancel
When feelings in the mainland and Taiwan eased a lot, the Little Tigers, as a representative, came to Beijing in 1991 to participate in the disaster relief charity performance, which spread all over the strait.
While the iron was hot, the three of them made a fan movie "The Ranger of the Good Boy", which had a strange painting style and was very out of tune, but it became the top ten box office movies in Taiwan that year.
The reason why the Little Tigers can become a mythical boy band in the 90s is closely related to the company's packaging, but more importantly, it is each distinctive "tiger".
Wu Qilong, a poor boy with a script against the sky.
When writing the story of his debt repayment before, he has already talked in detail about his family, and if you want to see it, please move: the parents have lost 1.23 billion, Zhou Zhennan and those stars who pay off their father's debts, where is the difference? (Click on the title to view)
Wu Qilong was initially selected for the Little Tigers, relying on his handsomeness and martial arts talent.
Wu Qilong's handsome, the girl who shops at taipei night market admits it, and is willing to pay for his goods.
I went to the draft because I couldn't resist the urging of the scouts, and after casually performing two backflips, I became the first choice for the Tigers.
In many photos and MVs of the Little Tigers, Wu Qilong is always the C position, and even those who like Su Youpeng have to admit that in the Little Tigers, the popularity of the Thunderbolt Tiger Wu Qilong is the highest.
The difficult dance moves were all completed by Wu Qilong, who once flipped to dislocation, and gave himself bones, which was bold.
Wu Qilong, who performed the Spring Festival Gala this aerial split fork plus front kick, is 40 years old
In addition to paying off his father's debts and being forced to perform military service by public opinion, Wu Qilong's acting road is still quite smooth.
In 1992, Wu Qilong went south to Hong Kong to make a movie, and his partners were all big-name stars, Maggie Cheung, Jin Chengwu and Zhang Aijia.
The great director Xu Ke made two films for him, "Liang Zhu" and "Flower Moon Season", and the female protagonists are Yang Caini.

From 1992 to 1997, Wu Qilong made a total of 13 films, and the high workload led to the average quality of the films, many of which were light comedy genres.
After 2001, he made a TV series that impressed the public, "Xiao ShiYilang", and he and Mayashu had an affair because of the drama and entered into marriage.
"Xiao ShiYiLang" was a turning point in Wu Qilong's career, and after filming, Wu Qilong paid off his debts
It is also strange to say that Wu Qilong has been in love with Yang Caini, Cai Shaofen and Maya Shu because of the drama, but he has cooperated with Zhu Yin so many times and has not called at all.
After "Xiao Shi Yilang", although Wu Qilong was still filming, his works were not very famous, and the most famous news suspected divorce was worn with a green hat.
After many years of silence, in 2010, Wu Qilong relied on the superb acting skills of the fourth master in "Step by Step", his career was rejuvenated, the scenery was infinite, and it was the highest salary of Taiwanese male artists in those years, with an episode of 500,000 yuan and an annual income of more than 50 million yuan.
But since then, there have been no more works that have been handed.
It is not an anti-Japanese drama with a big back and an off-road vehicle, or a costume funny film with a thunderous plot, and it is a production team that comes to money fast at a glance.
Now Wu Qilong is more like a businessman, while opening a film and television company, in 2020 alone there are five TV series and a web series;
"Dear Myself" starring Liu Shishi and Zhu Yilong is its own TV series, broadcast after "Thirty Only", similar plots, people are powerless to complain, but sold to the TV station, back to the original.
While filming the scene invested by his own film and television company;
Along with the deterioration of resources is Lin Xinxin, who also changed from Xu Ke's films to cheesy idol dramas, but this year he has returned to the ancient dolls, with ups and downs.
On the one hand, there are various variety shows, the first two years have "Energetic Brother" and "Wonderful Little Forest", and this year there is also "Star Chaser 2".
"The Star Chaser 2" stills, can not accept the aging is not only female artists, male artists and p-chartists can not accept, have been repaired into Li Weijia
During the epidemic + film and television winter, 52-year-old Wu Qilong is really desperately trying to earn a pension.
Although the film and television company established and iQiyi are deeply tied, and the stock price has plummeted this year, his popularity is in, his figure is also there, he has dramas, and he has variety shows.
Even if the paparazzi look down on the marriage, but from time to time Xiu'en loves to strive for emotional harmony, middle-aged men in their 50s live to this point, with wives and well-behaved sons, they all have to secretly laugh.
Also after middle age, Su Youpeng also lived a moist life.
As a former "girl with Su Youpeng", I want to put a few more photos of his handsomeness in private.
Compared with Wu Qilong's long-formed handsomeness, Su Youpeng is more well-behaved and is a comfortable sunny teenager.
In my opinion, Su Youpeng is the most successful transformation of the Tigers, and it is definitely a corner overtaking.
As an actor, passers-by, popularity and awards have been, five brothers, Du Fei, Hua Wufeng, Zhang Wujie... All are his early impressive roles, affectionate, funny, handsome, "scumbag", and the drama is complete;
During the transformation, with Bai Xiaonian in "The Sound of the Wind", he won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor.
In 2009, the Hundred Flowers Award was not yet an award for pork, and the gold content was pure gold!
As a director, he made works such as "Left Ear" and "The Dedication of Suspect X".
Although the reputation is not good, as a commercial film, the actor is not a first-line artist, but the box office is a big success, one 500 million, one 400 million.
"Left Ear" has become a movie in which many stars are indignant, eliminating many people, and Zhang Yunlong, who is on the "Phi Brother" after 90, complains several times in person.
In terms of performance and singing skills, Su Youpeng's performance is remarkable, and the progress is great.
Even with a huge filter, I have to honestly admit that when it is the hottest, Su Youpeng always slows down more than half a beat every time he dances. Halfway out of the house as a singer, singing skills are mediocre.
On the far left is Su Youpeng
In recent years, it has been obvious that the singing ability and dance strength have improved, and I have been elected as a show instructor, who can sing and dance, and can also sing Rap.
Shangpigo opened all the wheat, and it was not only the girl's heart that was captured.
Su Youpeng was selected to join the Little Tigers, not by acting, singing or dancing at all, but by adding points to his brilliant academic qualifications.
Su Youpeng's junior high school is Jianguo Middle School, the most famous middle school in Taipei, and a school that cultivates academic leaders.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the entertainment industry was not full of gold, and excellent children took the route of reading, working, and getting married. Even Wu Qilong was surprised to see the students of Jianguo Middle School come to participate in the competition.
The staff who held the competition also did not believe it, and Su Youpeng must hold his ID card and student ID card to prove it.
The titles of "Well-behaved Tiger" and "Little Well-behaved" are because he is well-behaved and is the child of other people's families in the mouth of his parents, but at the same time he is also a roadblock on the road to fame.
Su Youpeng, a senior in high school, is engaged in an acting career, and the third year of high school is only one year old, moreover, the university has not expanded in the 90s.
Although Su Youpeng was finally admitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering of National Taiwan University with the fifth place in Taiwan, his physical and mental pressure was extremely high.
In other words, he went to college not for himself, but for the hopes of the public
After dropping out of school for his dream, Su Youpeng collapsed in the public, and was once too scared to go out and hid in his room.
Su Youpeng, who became famous, could not change back to ordinary people, and could only act hard, and his status as an idol singer restricted his play path.
At that time, there were no idol dramas, all of them were Qiong Yao dramas, the love of mature men and mature women, the faces of xiaosheng in the main drama, and they would cry.
There was no drama, coupled with the accident at home, the parents failed to invest, and they shouldered the burden of supporting the family, which was once a lot of pressure.
Encountering "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is accidental, and the newcomer who returns Zhu Qing Yishui is not optimistic even Qiong Yao.
The charm of the entertainment industry is there, the popularity is really that moment, there is no law to find, it is more difficult to copy.
It is the unoptimistic return of pearls that makes Su Youpeng's inland career blossom in an all-round way, and the drama continues. "Love Is Deep and Rainy", "Peerless Double Pride", "Dragon Slaying in the Sky" and so on have laid the status of the first student of his idol drama.
At that time, I was not happy to love bean acting, and the market was not friendly to cream students.
Su Youpeng, who has taken the well-behaved route for many years, privately rebels and stubborn, he hopes to be recognized, no longer appear to be returned by the producer, and expand the drama road.
Then there is the classic White Year.
Fortunately, after surviving the hardships of filming, without the company of relatives, quitting the Taiwanese accent with obvious accents, Su Youpeng successfully transformed his acting school, and was also recognized by the market as a director.
Occasionally, I can rely on "memory killing" and "memes" on the hot search, which is finally relieved of the suffering of that year.
When filming "Love Deep rain", the weather was too hot and could not sleep, Su Youpeng photographed his body collapsed, looking at the starry sky every day and thinking, what he was doing, regretting entering the show business circle.
Although the total mention of the little tiger team is really a bit of a cold rice turned over and fried for decades, but every time it comes back to sight, it is a classic.
The most unsatisfactory development of the Little Tigers is Chen Zhipeng.
The biggest reason why Chen Zhipeng was able to enter the Little Tigers was his face that resembled his brother Zhang Guorong.
Chen Zhipeng on the left, Zhang Guorong on the right
In 1988, there was a rumor that Zhang Guorong quit the entertainment circle, and Chen Zhipeng appeared to fill the vacancy, so he settled down early.
Chen Zhipeng is the most wanted star of the three, and during the audition, he behaved professionally, fully equipped, and dressed up.
Chen Zhipeng himself is also very clear that he looks very star and dresses very brightly
Many people feel that Chen Zhipeng's title of "Handsome Tiger" is not worthy of the name, and it is much worse than Wu Qilong and Su Youpeng.
In fact, Chen Zhipeng's dance and singing skills are above them, he has studied ballet, tap dance, break dance, etc., and he can also stand alone after flying alone.
Helpless to give him the packaging is from the looks of Zhang Guorong, there are memory points, but also lost their own memory points.
The decline of the Little Tigers was also a turning point in Chen Zhipeng's life, and he went to serve in the military. After two years of military service, he returned, his popularity was completely bad, and the market was taken away by Lin Zhiying, the "asian whirlwind".
In 1996, when taking stock of Taiwan's Four Little Heavenly Kings, there were Wu Qilong, Su Youpeng, Lin Zhiying, and Jin Chengwu, but there was no Chen Zhipeng
In 1993, the Little Tigers announced their disbandment and solo flight after releasing "Starlight Is Still Shining".
Chen Zhipeng lost two of his hottest teammates and became a popular idol singer, no one remembers him for singing, and acting is also some marginal roles, and the situation is difficult.
Ertai was halfway of the line, the task was very flat, there were no memory points at all, not as good as Mondan
To tell the truth, not only Su Youpeng has memes, Chen Zhipeng also has it, but he did not cater to the ridicule of netizens and did not grasp the hot spots.
Chen Zhipeng also had a TV series with an absolute male protagonist, starring in "Young Hero Hong Wending", but unfortunately, he was burned during filming, resulting in the need to do a lot of skin grafting surgery, and his appearance was reduced.
"Young Hero Hong Wending" has a strong lineup, including Zhang Weijian, Deng Cuiwen, Li Xiaolu and He Meidian, but it is not hot
He can only return to his old business and imitate Zhang Guorong's singing, but is criticized by his brother's fans for consuming Zhang Guorong.
Taking the road of imitation was unsuccessful, and popularity fell to the bottom.
Chen Zhipeng decided to rebel in middle age, the style of painting changed greatly, dyed his hair, wore women's clothes, pierced his ears, and successfully became a hot search.
After starting from this see-through suit, Chen Zhipeng was blackened very badly, but black and red were also red
Received a lot of invitations to the catwalk, but also on a lot of variety shows, and Su Youpeng on "The Voice of Heaven", "Chasing the Light Bar Brother".
It is also because it is too greasy in the program, which has aroused heated discussion among netizens.
All these changes are also exploding with the tears of the former broker, in the end, it is still a disaster.
In the entertainment industry, everyone is a snob, not red? Then you have to desperately go out, play ugly, gossip and love, as long as you jump within the scope of laws and regulations, you can always eat a bowl of rice.
Although, Chen Zhipeng is definitely insufficient compared to his peak.
But compared with the low period of two years without a job at all, can only go to the owner of the bead shop, now at least some people remember that there is a job to maintain life, and occasionally go to travel with friends to relax.
Speaking of which, I completely admire the feelings of the three of them, when they were young and vigorous, there were occasionally small quarrels and small contradictions, but with the passage of time, they still had a good relationship.
Together on the Spring Festival Gala, together on the variety show, as each other's groomsmen, so many years, the three tigers do not have any negative news, these persistence, need everyone's extremely high idol cultivation.
It is said that now is the best era for idol groups to survive, but except for TFboys, other boy bands are short-lived groups.
Su Youpeng's "Creation Camp 2019" as a mentor, the selected boy group R1SE, disbanded in the collapsed house, lao Lai, love, leg splitting, the combination is not hot, scandals, scandals are floating on the hot search day by day.
More than ten years back, many big fire boy groups, such as F4, Kemi Boy, and Flywheel Sea, have a magical phenomenon: the members of the group tear each other very hard.
This season's "Pi Ge" also invited Wu Jianhao, compared to the Little Tigers' memories of killing, everyone pays more attention to his figure, and no one will say that he is a "Wu Jianhao girl".
As for F4, every year it is said to be integrated, and every year it has become a bubble.
On the other hand, the Flywheel Sea has not gathered four people until now, and there are many stories in it.
Although the Komi boy is not very famous, the "Youth Commemorative Book" must be the memory of many young people, but it is also indispensable to exclude the isolated drama.
This shows that the Little Tigers have become a very rare boy band, without too much consumption of the girls' memories, and without mentioning the dividends brought by the group that year, and jointly maintaining the name of "Little Tigers".
Looking back at the past 34 years of formation, some people can be red for a lifetime, and some people are only red for a short time, all of which are hit bets, and it is difficult to turn the sky.
If a successful group wants to become a fire, it must meet the needs of different groups of people and absorb fans at different levels.
The setting of the second of the "three tigers" of the Little Tigers clearly shows the differences of the three big boys, and the choice is left to the jun.
There is no group infighting, no scandals during the group, and jointly maintaining the dreams of the girls is their enduring secret.
Groups and groups, to put it bluntly, are grasshoppers tied to a rope, one is prosperous and one is damaged.
Everyone understands this truth, but today's young male artists, in the face of the huge temptations in the circle, have all become exquisite egoists, and there is no sense of community anymore.
Coincidentally, in addition to Su Youpeng on "Phi Ge", before him, another longevity group in Hong Kong, Twins, also appeared on the sister program "Sister Lang 3".
Compared with the tolerance of "brothers", the entertainment industry is strict with sisters and does not tolerate a little fault. But everyone who knows the twins combination also knows a little bit about their lingering love history.
In the end, how did the Twins and other girl groups change their lives against the sky? What is the relationship between them and the Tigers? The 10,000-word article is too long, and we will continue in the next issue.
