preface
Yang Kun once became popular in the music scene with a song "It Doesn't Matter", establishing his position in the music scene.
However, netizens found that he, who was the mentor of "The Voice" a few years ago, has disappeared in recent times.
Netizens can't help but wonder, why did the former music bigwig end up like this?
"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge"
As the saying goes, "Woe comes from the mouth", although Yang Kun eats by his mouth, it is his mouth that also destroys him.
Yang Kun belongs to the late bloomer type, before 2000, Yang Kun's career was tepid, until he met the noble "singer Chen Lin", his career ushered in a turning point.
Chen Lin had heard the songs sung by Yang Kun and felt that Yang Kun's voice was particularly unique, and the lyrics written were also very feeling, and after packaging, it could definitely catch fire, so she contacted Yang Kun through her relationship.
After conveying his meaning to him, Yang Kun was very excited after hearing it, thinking that he had finally ushered in the day of his emergence.
Chen Lin did not say empty words, not only recommended Yang Kun to the record company, but also helped him publicize, it can be said that without Chen Lin, there would be no Yang Kun.
And the boss of Chen Lin's company is her husband Shen Yongge, and after Shen Yongge knew about this, he also listened to Yang Kun's song and felt that this singer was good, so he also signed Yang Kun to his company.
The album that condensed Yang Kun's bitter journey - "It Doesn't Matter" became popular overnight, and the song of the same name "It Doesn't Matter" was widely sung by everyone.
Yang Kun quickly burst out of the circle with his unique voice, various honorary awards were soft, various invitations followed, and the Spring Festival Gala also invited him to the stage, but it was the sudden explosion that made Yang Kun a little "floating." ”
Although he is a late bloomer type, he is not young in age, but his mentality is still a little immature, coupled with the sudden explosion, Yang Kun has not been able to stabilize his mentality.
After Yang Kun became famous, the company often arranged for him to perform with Chen Lin, there are many popular people, and the outside world often rumors that Yang Kun was brought out by Chen Lin, in our opinion, this sentence is understandable, but when it reaches Yang Kun's ears, he doesn't think so.
So Yang Kun began to deliberately dissociate himself from Shen Yongge and Chen Lin, as if to say to the outside world: "All I can rely on is my own efforts", and soon Yang Kun achieved his goal and successfully terminated the contract with Shen Yongge's company.
Although the audience did not know the inside story, everyone in the industry knew that they all felt very disdainful of Yang Kun's behavior, but Yang Kun was in the limelight at that time, and this incident did not have any impact on him.
"Kyogen"
In addition, Yang Kun still insists that "I go my own way, and I can't live the world." ”
In an interview, the reporter asked Yang Kun what he thought of Dao Lang's music, and Yang Kun said unashamedly: "Can he count that as music?" ”
A word stirred up thousands of waves, and Yang Kun's words caused great controversy at that time.
You must know that Dao Lang's popularity was very high at that time, even if Yang Kun exploded with "It Doesn't Matter", he couldn't catch up with Dao Lang's popularity.
In 2004, when the gods of the Chinese music scene were fighting, Dao Lang ranked first with a crushing advantage, even if the king of Zhou Tianwang "Jay Chou" could not compare.
In that year, Dao Lang's album sales exceeded 2.7 million in the mainland alone, which is only the sales of genuine copies, and if pirated copies are included, the sales have exceeded 10 million.
At that time, Zhou Dong's "Qilixiang" only sold 2.6 million worldwide, which is enough to prove how popular Dao Lang was at that time.
Yang Kun's evaluation of Dao Lang at that time naturally suffered a lot of controversy.
Because of his arrogance, Yang Kun was once pushed to the cusp, coupled with the sudden explosion, Yang Kun's body and mind also felt great pressure.
Want to quickly create songs, but afraid that the songs are not well written and scolded, the more you can't write it, the more anxious your heart is, under such a vicious circle, until 2005, Yang Kun was found to have major depression in Hong Kong, and then Yang Kun chose to retire to recuperate.
After adjustment, Yang Kun returned to the public's vision with new works, but it was difficult for him to reach the original height.
"Warming up again"
In 2012, Yang Kun's career ushered in a turning point again, the singing program "The Voice of China" began to record, Yang Kun became the mentor of the first season of the show, with the explosion of the show, Yang Kun also followed the fire again, and once again entered the public eye.
In 2020, Yang Kun publicly diss shouted the Mai song "Thunder": tacky, ugly, to melody without melody, to rhythm without rhythm, too disgusting.
This remark also caused a lot of controversy.
Although the song Thunder is somewhat alternative, it has been played by billions on the entire network, and it is unlikely that no one likes it.
After the song was dissed by Yang Kun, the creator of "Thunder", the Internet celebrity MC Liudao, came forward to respond: "Existence is reasonable, music should not be distinguished from noble", and mocked Yang Kun "Thunder" is hotter than any of his songs.
Since then, the two have started "Huashan on the sword", and the speech on the Internet is divided into two extremes, one is supporting pop music and the other is supporting online music.
The confrontation between the two musical representatives has also become a different kind of scenery.
As things continue to ferment, some people on the Internet broke out that there was plagiarism in "Thunder" music, and original singer Cheng Xuexun said that this song was stolen from the accompaniment of his original song "Girl Walks with Me DJ", and also attached an audio track comparison chart.
As soon as this matter came out, the trend of the Internet wind showed a one-sided trend.
Unlike the previous Yang Kunkou results, this time he won, but Yang Kun after winning was a little "fluttering", but next time he was not so lucky.
"Twice a Score"
In 2020, Yang Kun participated in a commercial performance in Gansu, the organizer of this performance invited many stars, and Yang Kun is one of the largest coffee places, from the promotional poster given by the organizer, we can see that Yang Kun occupies the C position of the entire poster, very dazzling.
Before the appearance, the host also paved the way for Yang Kun, but when the host invited Yang Kun to appear, everyone in the audience shouted: "Andy Lau, Andy Lau, Andy Lau." ”
The uniform shouting made Yang Kun very embarrassed, and in order to ease the atmosphere, the host said to everyone in the audience: "Let's welcome Mr. Yang Kun in unison." ”
But as soon as his voice fell, the audience still remembered Andy Lau's shout, even so, Yang Kun had to go on stage and start singing, he was deeply affected by the audience, did not play well, and almost forgot the words during the singing.
This event dealt a big blow to Yang Kun.
But some people can't help but wonder, for Yang Kun to participate in the performance, everyone in the audience shouted Andy Lau's voice? They don't know each other or what?
It turned out that not long ago, after Yang Kun diss finished "thunder", he commented on Andy Lau.
He said in the live broadcast room: "Andy Lau has created a lot of positive images on the screen, he is liked by many people, and when he can sing on stage, it reminds you of the role he once played, strictly speaking he is not a singer." ”
In addition, when he was a mentor in "The Voice", he commented on Andy Lau's singing skills: all rely on roaring, no skills, and the titles of the four heavenly kings are just vain.
In fact, from an objective point of view, even Andy Lau can be questioned by people, but questioning always needs to be reasoned and unreasonable, that is, inner prejudice.
Andy Lau once won the Hong Kong Most Popular Male Singer Award for three consecutive years, and three songs from one album entered the top ten golden songs of the year.
In addition, Andy Lau has won the most popular male singer in Hong Kong five times, followed by the most popular male singer in the Asia-Pacific region, and since 1988, he has won more than 300 awards and honors across the country.
This is just some examples of Andy Lau's career awards, such a "heavenly king" in Yang Kun's eyes "not a singer." ”
Netizens don't know where Yang Kun's confidence comes from, so that now in Yang Kun's live broadcast room, the barrage seen is all brushed "Andy Lau".
Ending up like this, Yang Kun is really "Cheng also relies on his mouth to defeat and rely on his mouth." ”
"All or nothing"
However, Yang Kun's "demon-making" behavior did not end there.
Following Pan Changjiang's footsteps, he started live streaming goods, and he still sold alcohol.
People who often follow the media should know that it was Pan Changjiang who started selling alcohol.
With the exposure of Pan Changjiang's fake wine selling incident, everyone has also seen the true face of the alcohol industry.
Yang Kun "resolutely" chose to sell alcohol live, which shows that he can't care too much for money.
It was decided to cut the last wave of leeks of fans before "disappearing".
But the people in the live broadcast room are all brushing Dehua, no one buys and so on, I don't know if the whole live broadcast is down, Yang Kun's purpose has been achieved.
"Time has changed"
There used to be such a saying in the entertainment industry, "Bitter is not bitter, tired is not tired, look at Yang Kun's old-timers", why did they say this? Because Yang Kun's journey is indeed not easy.
Yang Kun's parents are employees in Baotou Steel Company, Yang Kun graduated from high school with a low education, and there was nowhere to go, so his parents arranged him in their company, because he had no education and could only work as an electrician, welder, etc.
In 1990, the Inner Mongolia Armed Police Wentong Regiment wanted to recruit literary and artistic soldiers, and Yang Kun, who had long been tired of this job, immediately signed up, and with his high musical talent, he joined the literary troupe without accident.
In the literary troupe, the job assigned to him by his superiors was to play saxophone, but the proud Yang Kun always wanted to sing on stage, thinking that this was burying his talent.
Therefore, Yang Kun often secretly went to the dance hall to sing, so that he could not only make money, but also live the addiction of singing, Yang Kun was very proud.
However, it didn't take long for Yang Kun's life to be broken, and there were clear rules in the literary troupe that private individuals could not go out to take over work, and the leader caught Yang Kun during an unannounced visit.
So Yang Kun's work was stopped, and seeing that there was no way to mix in this place, Yang Kun began to drift north.
But Beijing has made Yang Kun suffer, and wandering singers like him are everywhere, and it is not easy to find a job to support himself.
In order to make ends meet, Yang Kun goes to move bricks during the day and sings in bars at night, even so, Yang Kun often has a meal but not a meal, and even can't find a stable residence, often because he can't pay the rent, stations, parks, Internet cafes are his habitat.
Even later Yang Kun also lived in a bomb shelter, this place is dark and damp, sometimes there are insects, the conditions are very difficult, but Yang Kun did not give up, with the love of music, continue to work hard.
Later, in an interview, Yang Kun said that in the eight years before becoming famous, Yang Kun had moved to his home a total of "55" times, and even the poor sometimes scored two meals per meal.
It was not until he met singer Chen Lin that Yang Kun embarked on the road to fame, and it was precisely because of Yang Kun's persistence that he finally succeeded.
This is the phrase "Bitter is not bitter, tired is not tired, look at Yang Kun's old-timers." ”
It's just that in recent years, Yang Kun has caused a lot of trouble because of "Geng Zhi".
Netizens think that now Yang Kun's reputation has plummeted and disappeared, and he really can't blame others.
As a singer, you can just put your mind on music creation, you don't need to talk to others, and as a public figure, you also need to always pay attention to your words and deeds.
