In 2004, without warning, "Rats Love Rice" became an overnight hit.
The streets and alleys are playing everywhere, and men, women and children are singing.
Because it is liked by many people, this song sold almost two hundred million.
The two hundred million yuan 17 years ago is also an astronomical amount of money now.
But its singer Yang Chengang could not be happy, because he encountered the embarrassment of "singers are not red".
Everyone only knows that this song is sung by a male singer, but they don't know who Yang Chengang is.
Others say that fame and fortune are doubled, Yang Chengang only reaped "benefits", while "name" was won by the person who covered this song.
For this situation of "no one in the world knows the king", Yang Chengang was a little unwilling, and he was eager to let people remember his face.
If you want to be known and remembered by everyone, the Spring Festival Gala is the best stage to show yourself.
In 2005, with the popularity of his own songs, Yang Chengang got his wish and stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In front of the national audience, he re-sang a live version of "Mouse Loves Rice", letting everyone know that the person who originally sang this song looked like this.
This time, Yang Chen was relieved that he had become a well-known singer familiar to everyone.
However, the good times did not last long, and people gradually forgot about him.
This time, he can't blame others, and if he wants to blame, he can only blame himself.
After "Rats Love Rice", Yang Chengang no longer has a song that can be remembered by everyone.
Singers who were better than him also kept coming, eventually drowning him in the wave of singers.
Once the singer has passed, it is difficult to restore the popularity to the peak state, and Yang Chengang must start from other aspects to keep himself in the sight of the audience and fans.
Since singing is not attractive, let's enter the film and television circle and be a singer who can act.
He was eager to prove himself by filming, and wanted to turn over again with movies and TV series. But he ignored a fatal problem, interlaced like a mountain.
Although he successively filmed "Journey to the West" and "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang 2", he also remade a TV series under the name of his own song.
But he never showed signs of getting on fire, because he didn't know how to shoot, let alone acting.
Director Zhuang Xunxin once commented on Yang Chengang: "He has no sense of direction when filming, and he does not know how to face the camera positions in different directions. And he doesn't have much confidence in acting, and if he simply reads monologue performances, his performance is very poor. ”
Acting is not good, singing is tepid, and the consequence of the combination of the two is that Yang Chengang slowly "disappeared".
So, after disappearing for so many years, where did Yang Chen just go, and now what is he?
In fact, everyone's worries about him are superfluous. Today's Yang Chengang, who opened his own company as the boss, lived a tasteful life.
Moreover, in 2014, Yang Chengang also had a beautiful daughter.
His wife is Wu Lihong, who has been in love with him for many years, and it can be seen that both of them are very dedicated people, and there has never been any gossip in terms of feelings.
Seeing Yang Chengang reminds me of Pang Long and Dao Lang who are similar to his style.
The styles of these three people are very similar, they are all low-quality songs defined by Na Ying and Wang Feng as "saliva songs", and the final fates are also very similar.
The three of them have long since retired from the front of the stage to the backstage, but they have not given up their favorite music career.
Pang Long retired and became a teacher at the Shenyang Conservatory of Music.
Dao Lang retired, concentrating on writing songs and taking apprentices, and occasionally produced a single of his own.
Yang Chengang, a boss without a star shelf, has everything he needs.
It is also good that the rapids retreat, without facing the attacks of mainstream singers like Na Ying and Wang Feng, can do their favorite music with peace of mind.
