preface
In this era of transparent information, the advantages and disadvantages of musical works are clear at a glance.
Although some singers will suddenly explode due to luck, most of them are short-lived.
However, there are indeed many powerful singers in the Chinese music scene, because external forces have been forced to "disappear".
Dao Lang
In 2004, with the album "The First Snow of 2002", the name Dao Lang made all the singers in the Chinese music scene tremble three times.
The reason is that after the album was released, without any publicity, not only the original record was sold 2.7 million copies, but also became popular all over the country.
You know, at that time, even Jay Chou's album sold 2.6 million copies.
The sudden explosion is enough to make an ordinary person disoriented, but Dao Lang does not, he is still working hard to make good music.
It is precisely because of his simplicity and sincerity that Zhang Yimou also saw this excellent singer.
So when Zhang Yimou was publicizing the ambush on the ten sides, he invited Dao Lang to share the stage with mainstream powerful singers such as Andy Lau and Han Hong.
But Dao Lang refused, because he thought he was just a grassroots singer and was not suitable for this star-studded stage at all.
However, Zhang Yimou insisted that he belonged to this stage and encouraged him to believe in himself.
Seeing that Zhang Yimou believed in himself so much, Dao Lang had to agree to Zhang Yimou's invitation.
On the day of the event, the enthusiastic response of the audience was completely unexpected by Dao Lang.
Since then, Dao Lang, who wears a cap, sings sonorously, has left a deep impression on the audience.
But there are many people who are popular.
When Dao Lang's momentum in the music scene was booming, many singers in the circle bluntly said that his songs could not be on the stage.
What's more, he said, "Only farmers listen to Dao Lang's songs."
However, Wang Jianlin did not approve of this, as an old Dong of Wanda, he liked Dao Lang very much.
He not only sang Dao Lang's songs at the Wanda Annual Meeting, but also praised Dao Lang's works as representing the voice of the grassroots.
However, even with Wang Jianlin's support, Dao Lang could not bear the pressure in the circle.
Therefore, after suffering malicious slander, he still faded out of the entertainment industry.
The rising sun is masculine
"If there is no rising sun masculinity, who knows who Wang Feng is", I believe that everyone is familiar with this sentence.
That's because the popularity of Wang Feng's songs back then was actually not high.
But after Xuriyang just covered his "In the Spring", with the explosion of this song, Wang Feng also rubbed a lot of traffic.
So Wang Feng also noticed this grassroots combination.
When I learned that Yanggang Rising Sun had formed a song and dance troupe because of his love of music.
Wang Feng instantly thought of himself before becoming famous.
Out of empathy, Wang Feng also came up with the idea of helping them.
The first step to help is to let them go to their concerts and have the opportunity to show their faces.
After that, CCTV also heard the inspirational stories of these two.
In order to spread the positive energy of bravely chasing dreams, CCTV even invited them to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
When they appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, the song they sang was still "In the Spring".
Although Wang Feng acquiesced that they could sing this song themselves.
But the Spring Festival Gala program group, which attaches great importance to copyright, still paid Wang Feng a copyright fee.
After Wang Feng got the money, he did not put the money in his pocket, but gave it to the rising sun.
At the same time, Wang Feng told them: "It doesn't matter if you want to sing this song, but you can't use it commercially, otherwise it will be infringing, and if you want to go long, you must have your own original works." ”
For Wang Feng's advice, Xuriyang said that they had taken it to heart.
But with the broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala program, the popularity of the rising sun has soared.
Not only can you often receive commercial performances, but also have a high appearance fee.
This made them, who became "stars", instantly forget about their commitment to Wang Feng.
Not only is he still singing "In the Spring" in commercial performances, but he is also often reported to play big names and beat people and other negative news.
Seeing the Yanggang of the rising sun who had changed his taste, Wang Feng was helpless, so he published a long article prohibiting the rising sun masculinity from singing "In the Spring" again.
For a while, Wang Feng fell into the vortex of public opinion.
Not only was he scolded by netizens for "not being able to draft roots", but also was complained: "There is no rising sun masculinity, who knows you".
However, after the storm of public opinion, Wang Feng was not greatly affected.
Instead, it was Yanggang, who was "supported" by netizens, who gradually disappeared after having no songs to sing.
Ben Xi
In 2008, Ben Xi, who was only 14 years old, quickly became popular on the Internet with the song "What to Do I Love You".
She became famous overnight not only gained a large number of die-hard fans, but also became an Internet singer comparable to Xu Song and Xu Liang.
In the era when information interaction was not developed, Ben Xi's songs inevitably became the youth memories of many people in middle school.
However, these achievements do not seem to be a good thing for Ben Xi.
Just because, the overnight popularity brought not only excitement and excitement to Ben Xi, who was still a minor, but also trepidation.
After all, she never writes songs for fire, she just has a hobby.
But at this time, many record companies have found Ben Xi and expressed their desire to sign with her.
After discussing with his mother, Benxi decided to sign a company to test the water.
At this time, they chose the Extreme Charm Culture.
But what Ben Xi didn't expect was that their decision today would ruin themselves later.
In 2011, after Jiyun Culture signed Ben Xi, Ben Xi successfully debuted.
In that year, Ben Xi composed more than a dozen songs, and the name of the company's extreme charm culture was also successfully established.
However, at this time, Ben Xi suddenly found that there was no profit on his account.
Later, she found out that she was tricked by the company to sign the "Overlord Clause", and the song she wrote was copyrighted by the company.
The most egregious thing is that although Ben Xi has created a lot of income for the company, Ben Xi has not been treated kindly.
Not only will the agent blatantly bully her, but the company will often send people to monitor her.
After a long time, Ben Xi's spirit was tortured by the company and went wrong.
At this time, another music company found Ben Xi, claiming that he could take her out of the suffering of the original company, and even help her pay liquidated damages.
These words gave the isolated Ben Xi a sense of security like a life-saving straw.
Immediately, she quickly signed a contract with the company before she terminated the contract.
Soon, Jiyun Culture discovered this matter, so it demanded nearly half a million liquidated damages from Ben Xi and her new company.
But the company finally pushed all this money to Benxi, but where did Benxi get the money.
Later, this incident made Ben Xi, who was already highly nervous, collapse instantly.
On Christmas Eve 2016, Ben Xi jumped from a tall building and ended his life.
Xu Huaiyu
She is a talented singer who debuted at the peak of the Chinese music scene, and she is an ability singer who can create 200 million revenue for the company at the age of 20.
She single-handedly supported Xu Huaiyu of Rolling Stone Records.
But such a good person has a not very happy childhood.
Not only was she and her mother often beaten and scolded by her grandfather, but her father was also forced by her grandfather to commit suicide.
In order to escape the clutches of the devil, Xu Huaiyu's mother took her and her sister to remarry.
Although the new family is much better, because of poverty, Xu Huaiyu also has to work to earn money.
At this time, Xu Huaiyu was eager to have someone to change her current situation.
Perhaps Xu Huaiyu was sincere enough, and her wish was soon fulfilled.
On a sunny afternoon, Xu Huaiyu hummed a song while drying clothes.
At this time, her graceful singing voice attracted a man to stop and admire.
And this man is Weng Xiaoliang, who has become popular with many singers.
Then Xu Huaiyu signed with Rolling Stone Records at the invitation of Weng Xiaoliang.
With the help of the company, Xu Huaiyu soon successfully released his first self-titled album "Xu Huaiyu".
This song not only made her a singer who exceeded one million on her debut album, but also made her instantly popular across the strait.
However, these achievements did not get her carried away.
After enduring the hardships of life, Xu Huaiyu knew that such an opportunity was not easy to come by.
Therefore, in order to live up to her fans, she secretly vowed to create glory again.
And the records she released after that, whether it was sales or quality, did not disappoint.
Such achievements have also improved Xu Huaiyu's quality of life a lot.
However, not long after such happy days, she was slandered by her own grandfather and colleagues.
Xu Huaiyu, who was caught in public opinion, was instantly labeled as "unfilial" and "playing big names".
Although Xu Huaiyu clarified these "labels".
But public opinion had fermented, and her weak voice did not work.
Since then, her reputation has plummeted, and she has also been hidden by the company.
It was not until recent years that Xu Huaiyu, who was already middle-aged, appeared in front of the audience again.
Recently, Xu Huaiyu was asked by a reporter whether he would participate in the new season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves".
Xu Huaiyu first said that the company had contact, but when he heard the reporter say that Lisa might go.
Xu Huaiyu directly said: "If Lisa goes, I will definitely go."
As soon as this remark came out, Xu Huaiyu was dissed by netizens: "It's still one thing to invite you or not, and put up a score." ”
Huang Jiaju
In the 90s, the gods of the Hong Kong music scene fought, but in the hearts of fans, Beyond definitely has a place.
But at the beginning of BEYOND's founding, their development was not smooth.
Because there was an unwritten "rule" in the Hong Kong music scene at that time, that is, covering foreign songs was easy to become popular.
But at this time, Huang Jiaju did not want to join those people, and still insisted on originality.
In 1989, Beyond released a new album "Secret Police", seven out of ten of which were original by Wong Ka Ju.
Among them, the song "Like You", written based on Huang Jiaju's personal experience, became an overnight hit.
This song not only won them the Golden Melody Award for Top Ten Songs of the Year, but also allowed Beyond to create an era that belongs to them.
But at this time, Huang Jiaju, who wanted to show his strength, found that there was no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry.
Because after becoming famous, in this "entertainment industry", they only have endless commercial performances and activities, and there is no time to create.
So in order to find real music, they took the band to Japan.
However, the problem of language became a stumbling block on their dream road, and in desperation, Beyond had to return to Hong Kong.
It coincided with the band's 10th anniversary.
Looking back on the ups and downs of the past decade, Huang Jiaju wrote "The Sea and the Sky" with feeling.
As soon as the song was released, it was very popular with fans.
But no one could have imagined that this song would become Huang Jiaju's swan song.
On June 24, 1993, Beyond was invited to record a show in Tokyo, but he accidentally fell from a high platform.
He fell into a coma with his head on the ground first, and then the staff urgently contacted the ambulance and took him to the hospital.
But unfortunately, on the 30th, he left this world forever.
From now on, there are thousands of songs, but there is no Huang Jiaju.
epilogue
For artists, if they only want to be opportunistic, they will become popular overnight.
Then his star path may be very difficult, after all, strength is the last word.
No matter what you do, I believe that as long as you can stick to your original intention, even if you are unknown now, there will be a bright day in the future.
