At that time, a grassland song "Set of Horse Pole" became popular all over the country, "Give me an eagle, a mighty man, give me a set of horse poles, hold it in his hand..."
The rhythmic music coupled with Ulantoya's high-pitched and loud voice makes this song a "divine comedy" in the streets.
As a singer, Ulantoya has gradually become the hottest singer in the company from an unknown steppe singer, and has successively released many albums such as "Shangri-La in Dreams" and "I Come from the Prairie".
But just when her career was rising, Ulantoya lost the singing rights of "Set of Horse Pole", and even the company replaced the singer of this song with Ulantuya, who has a similar name to her.
Faced with the songs she used to sing fire, but now it can only belong to other people's names, Ulantoya is naturally difficult to accept in her heart.
In an interview, she also said: "It's still a special pity, I still can't sing these songs in commercial performances." But I don't think she's angry. ”
At that time, the musical confrontation between "Toya" and "Tuya" became a story for many onlookers.
So now, in the past few years, what kind of situation do these two protagonists have?
Ulantoya and Ulantuya
01
As the original singer of "Set of Horse Pole", Ulantoya was actually very difficult before becoming famous.
A performance on stage in the third grade of elementary school gave her the idea of learning to sing, but her parents did not agree at that time.
They think that girls still need to have a stable job, and it is enough to marry early.
So when she was in high school, her parents signed up for a beauty salon, but this still couldn't stop Ulantoya's love of music.
Every time she walked up to the music class, she would stop and look inside.
But even though her parents prevented her from doing it, she couldn't stop her heart that loved music, so Ulantoya changed her major and learned music behind her parents' back.
After graduation, she wanted to become a music teacher, but Ulantoya, who had not been admitted for two years, chose to drop out of school and go out to work.
At that time, she began to run night shows, sing everywhere, and participated in many singing competitions, and gradually achieved some results.
At this time, she wondered if she could continue to walk up?
So she came to Beijing and successfully signed a contract with Guangzhou Crescent Performing Arts Agency Co., Ltd. through CCTV's Youth Song Competition, which also became the fuse for the later horse pole incident.
After signing the contract, Ulantoya also quickly ushered in the rising period of her career, and released many singles such as "Let Go When Love Is Not There" and "Fire Phoenix".
Especially in the 2009 album "I'm Going to Tibet", the song "Set of Horse Pole" successfully made everyone remember the name "Ulantoya", at that time she was affectionately called "the sound of the steppe".
Everything was going very smoothly, but in 2011, Ulantoya's agency suddenly reported that she had no right to continue singing "Set of Horse Pole", and the singing rights of the song were handed over to a person named Ulantuya.
At that time, Ulantoya had only signed a contract with the agency for three years, and she did not choose to renew it after the contract expired.
Because the company used to rarely arrange work and activities for Ulantoya, and even only went to Tibet to perform once a year, she didn't know that "Horse Pole" had already spread throughout the grassland.
With a very small salary every day, he lived a pension life, so when faced with whether to renew the contract, Ulantoya chose to give up.
At that time, her personality was also very stubborn and simple, thinking that as long as she could sing.
But unexpectedly, the agency directly deprived himself of the right to sing songs, and also moved his own songs of singing fire to the wood and placed them on Ulantuya's body.
Ulantuya

At that time, after Crescent Performing Arts terminated its contract with Ulantoya, he soon met Ulantuya, who had just graduated from the Central College for Nationalities.
But as early as in school, she was already familiar with the relevant person in charge of the company.
When it came time to graduate, Ulantuya wanted to make her own music.
At that time, she had a total of 5 song demos in her hand, and two of them she also liked very much.
So in order to do these two songs well, she found Li Kaihou, the arranger of Crescent Performing Arts, and he was also the arranger of "Set of Horse Pole" that year.
After the efforts of two people, they finally created the two title songs "Grassland in the Heart" and "Phoenix Fly".
As soon as the song was released, it received a good response. Ulantuya has also received many invitations from brokerage companies, including Crescent Performing Arts Company being one of them.
With many years of cooperation experience and the help of good friends, she came to this company.
After joining the company, Ulantuya began to create her own albums.
At that time, the main song was "Phoenix Fly", the company said that as a newly graduated singer, there are not many original works, you can insert some covers of the company's copyright songs in the album, and this song is "Set of Horse Pole".
With the release of the album, the original singer Ulantoya lost the right to perform again, and could only watch his songs being sung by others.
Faced with such a situation, Ulantoya was also very angry at first, and she said in the interview:
"This incident has been a setback on my singing path for so many years, but I don't think she is hot, and many friends say that she doesn't sing very well."
But every time she performed outside, the audience always looked forward to hearing Ulantoya sing "Set the Horse Pole" again, and looking at the audience's expectant eyes, she began to wonder for the first time whether her original decision was too extreme.
But at this point, in the face of the indignation of friends and relatives around him, Ulantoya also comforted: "It's okay, I sing my own songs well, continue to make better songs, no problem." ”
And Ulantuya, who has the singing rights of "Set of Horse Pole" here, has also received many objections. Some people think that this is not your song again, why do you sing it.
In order to clarify to the public, the brokerage company also held a special clarification meeting for Ulantuya, saying that what Ulantoya said was malicious slander against the company and Ulantuya, and if necessary, legal measures would be taken to protect rights.
But no matter how the company clarifies, the audience's eyes are snowy.

They found that when Ulantuya sang "Set of Horse Pole", she would hand Mike to the audience every time she sang the high-pitched part, but she did not sing it at all.
Sometimes even if you sing, it is most likely a broken tone.
So over time, memes about Ulantuya's "hiding man" began to circulate on the Internet.
Some people even summed up the law of her singing this song, that is, "every man must avoid, every field must be lamec", and some people laughed that Ulantuya was a man and did not wear it.
Although doubts about Ulantuya's singing skills have not stopped, her career has developed better and better.
Not only appeared on CCTV's New Year's Eve party, but also represented the country to Italy to perform.
While Ulantuya's career was booming, Ulantoya ushered in a trough in her life.
Not only did he encounter obstacles in his career, but his father also had physical problems.
Because I always drink alcohol and don't pay attention to my body, I finally found out that I had lung cancer during the examination.
At that time, after learning that his father was ill, Ulantoya, who was frustrated in her career, could only take care of her father with spirits.
In order to treat their father, they went all over the hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai, but the doctors had only one answer, that is, there was no way to treat them.
In desperation, Ulantoya could only take her father back to her hometown and rely on Chinese medicine to survive.
Although she did not have an agency at this time, with the contacts she had accumulated in the circle over the years, Ulantoya could still often go out to perform to earn money to treat her father's illness.
But the disease was relentless, and ten months later the doctor sent Ulantoya a critical illness notice for her father.
In order to fulfill her father's wishes, Ulantoya held a small concert at home, calling her father's relatives and friends over for everyone to get together again.
And she also opened a photography exhibition for her father, posing all the photos taken over the years for everyone to enjoy.
After this concert, Ulantoya flew to catch the next day's performance overnight. But as soon as he landed, he received the news that his father was about to die.
At first, she wanted to leave everything behind and go back, but there was no ticket left, so Ulantoya could only continue to perform.
After the performance, she rushed back, but at this time her father had died, and she still could not see the last face.
Although his father died, Ulantoya kept his teachings to heart. Life has ups and downs like this, don't feel bored.
She also took this sentence as her strength to keep going, so she recreated the song "New Horse Pole", which also meant that her career was restarted.
Immediately followed by the release of many songs such as "Flaming Sari Lang" and "Beautiful Steppe My Love", it once again verified the strength of Ulantoya.
Although it is not as strong as Ulantuya in terms of development momentum, as she herself said, as long as she can continue to sing, it is the happiest thing.
Until 16 years, Ulantoya re-signed with her old club, Guangzhou Crescent Performing Arts Agency Co., Ltd., so she once again had the legal singing rights of the song.
Now that both of them are moving forward on their own paths, the once vigorous "horse pole" incident has gradually faded with time.
But whether it is Ulantoya or Ulantuya, as long as they can bring strength and happiness to the audience with their singing, they are good singers.
Perhaps they used to have been impulsive and willful, but in the ups and downs of life, they gradually understood that those fame and fortune money were just a passing cloud.
Only those who truly love singing will move the audience with their sincere voices and emotions and receive real applause.
