There were many male stars who became popular in the 90s, but the most popular should also be Mai Zijie.
Many young people hear this name and feel a little strange. But when our parents were young, his songs were very popular.
Mai Zijie has been very fond of music since he was a child, and soon after his debut, he quickly made achievements.
Mai Zi was born in Guangdong, and the family of four was very happy.
Mai Zijie's mother was a literary and artistic worker, and she also had a hobby of writing novels, and often used the novels she wrote as bedtime stories to read to Mai Zijie and her sister.
Under the influence of the ear, Mai Zijie is also very talented in music, and studied music in Guangdong Xinghai in college. After graduation, he was assigned to the Song and Dance Theater in Guangdong Province.
Mai Zijie did not want to be satisfied with the status quo, and after three years of taking office, he chose to resign.
After resigning, he began the path of self-creation in order to realize his dreams. At that time, his conditions were rudimentary, he had no agents and assistants, no professional music equipment, and he had to rely on himself for everything.
Mai Zijie found his sister as a helper, and the two of them worked together, and finally Mai Zijie ushered in the first spring of his career.
After becoming famous, Mai Zijie was signed to a brokerage company. In 1994, he became the first singer to be signed to PolyGram.
You know, this company has won the favor of Chen Baixiang, Zhan Guorong and others.
After signing the contract, he quickly released his new album and single, and it was well received by many people.
The most classic is the song "Love", after the launch, Mai Zijie won many awards with this, becoming the most popular singer in the 90s.
In his heyday, Mai Zijie also called Lin Yilun, Gao Linsheng and Huang Gexuan the "Four Little Dragons of Guangdong Song World".
At that time, PolyGram had a custom that the company would hold an annual meeting every year. Popular singers will be on stage.
Soon after joining the company, Mai Zijie was invited to sing. One is his own original "Actually I Don't Care", and the other is a cover of Jacky Cheung's "Li Xianglan". This song was also affirmed by Jacky Cheung at that time.
The year after signing with the company, Mai Zijie won the Most Popular Male Singer Award on the Golden Melody Chart.
This is a very gratifying achievement in itself, but it was at the scene of the awards party.
Mai Zijie got the bad news, his parents were brutally killed by gangsters in his home, and he set fire to everything.
At that time, he cried until he couldn't help himself, but in the face of the expectations of fans, he still insisted on finishing the singing.
After the grief, the performance ended, and Mai Zijie returned home to mourn.
Later, he recalled, "I will never forget the scene when my sister and I were stopped outside by the police. Suddenly, Mai Zijie and his sister became orphans.
After losing his parents, Mai Zijie chose to temporarily leave the music scene and rely on his sister for his life.
After retiring for half a year, Mai Zijie chose to re-enter the stage, after all, he and his sister still need to live.
But helplessly, the music scene at that time has changed, newcomer singers are emerging in an endless stream, and Mai Zijie has also lost his original popularity and fame.
At that time, Mai Zijie's good friend Mao Ning reached out to him and asked him to collaborate on songs, which was set in Beijing.
After thinking that Beijing was a good choice, Mai Zijie came to Beijing to develop. But Mai Zijie had no company, there were many resources that could not be contacted, and after three years in Beijing, he returned to Guangdong.
However, all along, Mai Zijie has never given up his dream of corresponding to the contract.
In 2013's "I'm Crazy for Song", he appeared on stage again, and the response was very good. Because of this, he also gained a new batch of fans.
Just when many people thought that this was a perfect opportunity for him to become popular, Mai Zijie took the initiative to give up and returned to Guangdong to work as a radio DJ.
Today's Mai Zijie, although he did not have the popularity of the past, but fortunately, his life was plain and happy, and his wife and family were well protected by him.
In a person's life, there are also many ups and downs. We should not be crushed by the past, but should choose to face life again.
