In 2021, at the scene of the commercial performance in Tianshui, Gansu,
Just when singer Yang Kun was ready to perform on stage with great interest,
The audience shouted in unison: "Andy Lau! Andy lau! Andy lau! ”
However, this scene did not occur because the public mistook Yang Kun for Andy Lau, the king of heaven,
It was the intentional behavior of the fans, who shared hatred to repay Yang Kun for their idols.
The cause goes back to Yang Kun in a live broadcast before, once threatened Andy Lau is not a real singer,
This speech caused the dissatisfaction of many Chinese fans, and this was the scene where Yang Kun could not come to the stage at the commercial performance scene.
Once upon a time, the public's impression of Yang Kun stopped at his "arrogant" side:
He mercilessly complained that the Internet song "Thunder" was "too ugly, too disgusting";
bluntly said that Yang Mi must "fake sing", because Yang Mi can't sing if he really sings;
Diss's popular female singer Li Yuchun can't sing at all, it is she who makes the people's musical aesthetic quality drop again and again;
In order to support Na Ying, he publicly stated that he did not know Tian Zhen, a senior in the music industry;
Yang Kun even directly criticized Dao Lang's music as very general, saying that Dao Lang's music has set the Chinese music scene back 15 years...
It was Yang Kun's unobstructed speech that allowed his passers-by to quickly deteriorate in a short period of time,
When people now mention Yang Kun, they no longer think of his unique vibrato smoke voice,
It is not his unique "Yang's love song", but his various black materials and lace news.
But who knows, the seemingly bohemian and invincible Yang Kun is actually an infatuated species,
Behind the secret that he is still unmarried, what is hidden is a sadomasochistic relationship that cannot be returned or forgotten.
Born as humble as an ant
On December 31, 2022, at the New Year's Eve party of Beijing Satellite TV,
51-year-old Yang Kun sang the famous song "It Doesn't Matter" on stage,
Singing to the depths of love, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but shed tears on the scene,
Maybe at that moment, he went back to that night more than twenty years ago,
His girlfriend who has been in love for many years cooked the last hearty meal for him,
She didn't say a word to separate, but silently handed a gold chain to Yang Kun,
As the last gift left to him, he disappeared into Yang Kun's world.
The story goes back to 1994, when Yang Kun was 22 years old,
He quit his stable job in the literary troupe and rushed to the big city of Beijing with a lonely and courageous head.
He thought he could show his strength here, but he was hit by reality.
When he first arrived in Beijing, where he was not familiar with his life, Yang Kun did not even have a place to stay.
He didn't have any connections, so he had to knock on doors in remote places to inquire.
In the end, a simple bungalow rented for 150 yuan a month became his short-term habitat.
Since he didn't have much savings, finding a job became Yang Kun's urgent need,
He searched all over bars and nightclubs in Beijing, selling himself with the person in charge.
But without connections, he was still ruthlessly turned away.
Sometimes, Yang Kun struggled to find a bar willing to accept him,
But just two days after singing, Yang Kun was fired, and the days that followed were gone.
Because the resident singing job is unstable, and the income is also rising one after another,
In the days when he couldn't make money, Yang Kun had to eat leftovers that others didn't want,
Nestled in the bathhouse to survive the night, life is as humble and adrift as an ant.
Once, Yang Kun was in a bar again, and he was called away after only singing for two days,
Before leaving, the supervisor gave him a salary of 100 yuan, which was all Yang Kun had left at that time.
Unwilling to accept his dismal fate, he randomly stopped a taxi on the main road.
At that time, the taxi driver asked him, "Dude, where are we going?" ”
Yang Kun has no destination, he only knows that his priority is to find a job again,
So he asked the driver's master to take him around the third ring road in Beijing.
Along the way, Yang Kun confided to the driver the bitterness and hardship of being a resident singer in Beipiao,
When you eat a meal but not the next, and you are too poor to rent a house, you can only be a homeless person,
Tired of finding a job, but also having to endure the exclusion of colleagues and the difficulties of guests...
After listening to his experience, the driver couldn't help but sympathize with the young Yang Kun,
Not only was he unwilling to accept Yang Kun's taxi money, but he even generously expressed his willingness to accompany Yang Kun to find a job.
And so, when the car went to a nightclub called "Casablanca",
Yang Kun's eyes suddenly shone, he knew that it was the most famous nightclub in Beijing at that time,
In this way, he pulled the kind master and walked into the place where there was a hole.
After entering, Yang Kun showed his skills on stage in order to be able to find an opportunity to sing,
He took out the only hundred dollars he had in his body and ordered a song for himself.
In this way, Yang Kun, who had long hair and was so hungry that his face was yellow and thin, stood in the center of the stage,
He didn't even want the accompaniment of the band, just revel in his own world,
sang the tear-jerking song "If you want to cry, cry in my arms".
Who knew that Yang Kun's hoarse and vicissitudes of singing voice sounded, which not only attracted the attention of all the guests present,
Even the other singers backstage gushed out and quietly looked at the man on stage who was out of step with the environment.
In the group of people who ran out, there was a singer named Sha Baoliang,
He is a celebrity in this nightclub, and has a pivotal position in the nightclub,
At that time, Sha Baoliang felt that Yang Kun's singing voice was very unique, so he wanted to invite him to sing in a nightclub.
In this way, relying on the only 100 yuan left on his body, Yang Kun achieved a reversal against the wind.
In "Casablanca", Yang Kun stayed for most of the year,
During this period, he not only sharpened his singing level, but also met Sha Baoliang, a good brother.
The arrival of the angel girl
Unfortunately, later, because some fresh blood needs to be injected into the nightclub,
Old singers like Yang Kun were fired, and Yang Kun, who lost his stable job, returned to the state he first came to Beijing.
In order to save money, Yang Kun spent 150 yuan and rented a bomb shelter in the basement of the Qingta community,
Because the basement was almost dark, Yang Kun's sheets and quilts were often damp and moldy,
The cover was cold and heavy, and every night Yang Kun was as cold as sleeping in an ice cellar.
When he woke up, Yang Kun took advantage of the sun outside to quickly take the damp sheets and quilts to dry.
Such a life without hope, Yang Kun was beaten for 7 months,
Just when his life fell into confusion and darkness,
The arrival of a girl, like a burning torch, lit up Yang Kun's cold heart.
Once, Yang Kun was looking for a job as a resident singer in the night club as usual,
There he befriended a dancer named Shirayuki.
Bai Xue is not only young and beautiful, but also very capable,
At that time, he could have a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan, and his nourishing life was very different from Yang Kun.
But it is such Bai Fumei, but she is in love with the poor boy Yang Kun,
After that day, Bai Xue took Yang Kun to his home, and the two began a sweet cohabitation life.
Bai Xue admired Yang Kun's talent, and always felt that he was gold that had not yet shone,
In order to support Yang Kun's musical dreams, she let Yang Kun write songs at home, while she was responsible for all the family's expenses.
Every day, Yang Kun stayed at home and concentrated on writing songs,
At night, when Bai Xue comes back, she who feels sorry for her boyfriend will always cook a good dish for Yang Kun,
Sometimes Yang Kun is tired of eating the dishes made by Bai Xue, and Bai Xue will also take Yang Kun out to go out to the restaurant,
It can be said that Bai Xue took care of all Yang Kun's food and clothing at that time,
Let him get rid of the turbulent life and finally have a stable state of life.
During that time, Yang Kun wrote many songs based on his past experience in North Drift,
But whenever he enthusiastically took these songs to the majority of record companies,
The record producers, however, could not understand Yang Kun's music, and indifferently threw his manuscript into the trash.
At that time, Yang Kun would constantly ask himself, is his music really so unpopular?
When he was most emotionally collapsed, Yang Kun even thought of giving up, because he didn't want to drag his girlfriend Bai Xue down like this anymore.
But maybe it is the power of love, Bai Xue is the identification of Yang Kun, who was still poor at that time,
She constantly patiently comforted and encouraged Yang Kun, giving him the motivation and determination to persevere in creating.
It's just that Bai Xue, as a girl, is also under great pressure from the outside world,
On the one hand, when Bai Xue's relatives and friends knew that Yang Kun was a poor and white North Drift singer,
They all objected to this disparate relationship and asked Bai Xue to leave the poor boy.
On the other hand, Bai Xue, who looks good, does not lack golden romantic suitors outside,
All they could give to Bai Xue happened to be far from what Yang Kun, who was eating soft rice at that time, could not give.
In this way, Bai Xue talked with Yang Kun for 3 years of love amid everyone's opposition,
She used her most precious youth to bet that Yang Kun had a bright future, and that the two had a perfect ending,
But in this process, Yang Kun has not been appreciated by musicians,
In a difficult situation, it is difficult for him to even pay for the normal expenses of his small family, let alone put on an expensive wedding dress for Bai Xue.
Here, Bai Xue has been in a contradictory mood, and over there, Yang Kun has been depressed,
When negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent, the two do not have the sweetness of the first meeting,
They often quarreled over small things, and then the two hugged each other in tears.
Such days were repeated mechanically for a long time, until one day,
Yang Kun returned home from outside as usual, but unexpectedly found that Bai Xue had already prepared dinner for him,
The table was full of his favorite meals, and at that moment Yang Kun had vaguely felt that something was wrong.
During the meal, Bai Xue told Yang Kun that she was leaving,
Although Bai Xue did not directly mention breaking up with Yang Kun, Yang Kun already knew that they would not have any more.
Although Yang Kun really wanted to keep Bai Xue, he knew that he was not qualified to keep him at that time,
So after eating that meal, Yang Kun packed his bags with interest.
Before leaving, Bai Xue stopped him, and she gave Yang Kun the most precious gold chain on her body,
Yang Kun did not refuse, he took the snow-white gold chain and took the Simmons mat at home,
Began a wandering life without a fixed place again, in order to survive in the future,
After he went out, he turned around and went to the pawnshop, and took this gold chain as 800 yuan,
For Yang Kun at that time, what love, lovers he has no time to be sad and nostalgic,
As long as he can live one more day in Beijing, he will have one more day to get ahead.
Became an overnight success with "It Doesn't Matter"
It is said that falling out of love is the golden period of talent creation, and Yang Kun is no exception,
After breaking up with Bai Xue helplessly, Yang Kun wrote the song "It Doesn't Matter" with a low mood,
Later, due to livelihood problems, he sold the song to others and could only continue to create other high-quality works.
Under the dual pressure of lovelessness and poverty, his creative inspiration also burst out like a spring,
During that time, he wrote a lot of good songs, which were finally recognized by some musicians and singers.
In 2002, Yang Kun, who had accumulated some contacts in the music industry,
Finally able to release his original work "It Doesn't Matter",
Unexpectedly, this song written for Bai Xue actually made him a hit after it was released.
Since then, Yang Kun, who became famous overnight, finally said goodbye to the poor life in the past,
All kinds of commercial performances, advertisements and endorsements frantically smashed at him, and he finally lived in a bright house by his own ability,
In those years, Yang Kun became half of the Chinese music scene.
The trills and smoky voices he sang, and even the classic movements of orchid fingers and "stepping on cigarette butts", caused a frenzy of imitation.
It's just that maybe the fame came too suddenly, making Yang Kun feel at a loss,
At that time, he often dreamed of his life when he was wandering, and when he woke up, he was sweating profusely.
Unfortunately, when Yang Kun's career became popular, his body suddenly lit up with a red light,
In 2005, Yang Kun suddenly noticed something abnormal in his body, he often had chest tightness and shortness of breath,
Sometimes the whole body is hot like a fire, and sometimes the left half of the body is as heavy as cement.
Even chatting normally with friends, Yang Kun's attention was completely unable to focus on the content of the conversation,
As a popular singer, his memory has declined terribly,
Sometimes I can't even remember the lyrics of a new song, and then even my reaction starts to sluggish.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Kun immediately put down his work and went to the hospital for medical treatment,
According to the doctor's diagnosis, he suffered from severe depression,
Since then, Yang Kun has been almost inseparable from his medication, insisting on taking 30 milligrams of antidepressants every morning.
After Yang Kun's persistence for 6 years, he finally succeeded in defeating the disease,
In June 2012, Yang Kun, who was a newborn, was invited by the crew of "The Voice of China" to sit in the mentor seat,
On the show, Yang Kun relied on humorous conversations, and the mantra of "I have 32 concerts this year",
His popularity has risen again, and his career has reached a higher level.
The secret behind years of unmarried
During the time when he became a mentor, Yang Kun also had an affair with his female trainee "Tintin",
At that time, there were even large-scale photos of the two circulating on the Internet, suspected of confirming this teacher-student relationship.
However, later Yang Kun said in an interview with the media that the rumors of the relationship between the two were completely false,
As for those intimate photos on the Internet, they are just intimate photos of him and actress Ni Hongjie when he was filming.
Although Yang Kun clarified his relationship with Tintin on the show, rumors about his private life have been common.
Over the years, the media has often filmed Yang Kun dating different beauties,
But in the face of these gossip, Yang Kun has never admitted that he has a girlfriend or is married,
Over time, the outside world also named Yang Kun as an "amorous prodigal son" and "playboy".
However, according to Yang Kun's friends, Yang Kun actually increases with age,
The desire to start a family is also getting stronger and stronger, because every time a group of friends goes out to party,
Everyone was talking about his wife and children, but Yang Kun was still unable to interject.
In March last year, Yang Kun, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared on the music variety show "Shining Band",
On the stage, he dressed up and sang the new song "The End of the River of Love",
The lyrics are truly touching, and the singing voice is gentle and affectionate, which quickly touched many people online and offline.
Afterwards, Yang Kun posted a long article on the Internet telling the story behind this love song.
It turned out that this love song was written by Yang Kun to Bai Xue,
The two of them are the right people for each other, but unfortunately they met at the wrong time and ended up regretting missing out.
Although Yang Kun and Bai Xue had been separated for 24 years at that time, Bai Xue had unfortunately passed away due to illness,
But Yang Kun still misses the late Bai Xue, and even wrote this song to commemorate and thank her.
Yang Kun, 51 years old this year, has rarely appeared in the public eye,
He finally took root in the great Beijing, had a rich life, and realized his former ideals.
It's a pity that the person he wants to protect the most has long disappeared into the sea of people.
Some people say that in Yang Kun's songs, there is always a faint sadness,
The sadness of love and inaccessibility may forever become the main theme of his music.
Although there have been constant rumors, Yang Kun has never let go of his mouth to admit whose identity,
The only thing he admits is the snow that has been with him when he was unknown,
It seems to be a wind wanderer, but in fact, Yang Kun's heart lives a person who will never fall in love again,
She hurriedly came to Yang Kun's life, and engraved an eternal imprint in his life,
As Yang Kun sang in "The End of the River of Love": "Whoever wishes for eternal life, the moment is eternal".
