"Li Yuchun, what's wrong?" "Is the strength singer at this level?"
On June 29, an entry for "Li Yuchun overturning scene" appeared on the hot search,
No one expected that Li Yuchun, who had marketed the powerful singer character for so many years, would "collapse" in Hong Kong this night, and Li Yuchun, who was completely torn off the "fig leaf", his reputation plummeted in an instant.
And all this can only be said to be the price of Li Yuchun's "quick success".
The "Bastard" singer is now in his original form
On June 28, to celebrate the 36th anniversary of the return to the motherland, Hong Kong held a music party entitled "Rising Moon in the Bay Area".
This party gathered countless celebrities, whether it is mainland or Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, all came to the scene to sing heartily.
I thought that the audience would see the famous scene of the strength of "Immortal Fight",
But who would have thought that the performance of domestic entertainment stars was "shameful".
Among them, the most disappointing is Li Yuchun.
She debuted as the champion of "Super Girl" in 2005, and since then she has been labeled as a "powerful" singer.
Over the years, Li Yuchun's coffee position in the circle has also been very high, as long as there are events she attends, whether it is with the actor or the queen, Li Yuchun can stand firmly in the C position. And this also makes many viewers default to her strength must not be underestimated, otherwise how can she suppress the position of the queen from the actor.
Coupled with the fact that she has indeed released many albums since her debut, as well as such highly sung masterpieces as "See you at the next intersection" and "If we are not crazy, we will be old", it has further allowed the audience to have a filter of "top singer" for her.
If it weren't for the fact that this party made her "show her original form", many people would even be "kept in the dark".
Music evenings, as the name suggests, are for everyone to come together for the sake of music.
The organizer may also think that the invited are some powerful singers, so he confidently tunes the accompaniment of the scene very little, wanting these singers to show their most true level, but his kindness has done "bad things".
The first ones on stage were some traffic singers, such as Hua Chenyu and Wang Yibo.
But their strength can not support such a scene at all, after singing a song, the Internet is full of all kinds of criticism.
Until Li Yuchun appeared, the audience was completely boiling!
The audience originally thought that a singer of her level could also give internal entertainment a breath.
But I never expected that Li Yuchun's performance would surprise everyone.
She seemed to use all her strength on her expression, and the song she had always been proud of was sung weakly, and she didn't hear a few words clearly in the whole song. I could finally hear it, but she didn't know where to go.
Many people were very disappointed with her performance, and called her filter completely broken.
More netizens bluntly said: Li Yuchun has always been at this level, and some people thought that she sang well before, because there were top music repairers to help her repair her voice. This party is live, doesn't this expose her true strength?
Indeed, Zhang Liangying and Zhou Bichang, who debuted with Li Yuchun in "Super Girl", although they are not as high as her noun. But at this party, the performance was indeed perfect.
It is one of the few singers that night who "earns back face" for domestic entertainment.
This also makes people wonder: Was Supergirl's ranking really not cheated back then?
Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, Li Yuchun's fans began to make up for her: "She played out of order this time because of illness. ”
It is reported that in a media interview in 2022, Li Yuchun said that he suffered from ankylosing spondylitis.
This disease is known in the industry as "undead cancer", she said that every time she attacks, she will be painfully unable to sleep, the whole body is as hard as a steel plate, and in severe cases, she even needs to rely on a wheelchair to walk.
During that time, this matter was made a lot of noise, and many people speculated whether she would withdraw from the circle.
But after that, she also went on several stages and participated in many activities, and this matter was later stopped.
In the face of the explanation given by fans, many netizens did not accept it.
Some people say that she injured her spine, not her voice, so it couldn't affect her singing skills.
Some people also said that she also participated in a lot of activities after being injured, why hasn't she broken her voice before, but this time she broke her voice? Is it because there is no sound repairer this time ?
What's more, Yang Kun's evaluation of Li Yuchun on the show in the early years was turned over.
At that time, Yang Kun became popular all over the country with the song "It Doesn't Matter", probably because talented people have tempers. At that time, he "sharply commented" on singers in the entertainment industry, and directly pointed out the problems of many singers with his sharp words.
And on a show, when the host asked what you said about Li Yuchun, Yang Kun replied without hesitation: "Li Yuchun must not be able to sing." ”
This matter also caused a lot of controversy that year, but Li Yuchun never came out to respond. It's just that now she turned this matter over, coupled with her performance at the Hong Kong Gala, which made many people doubt whether "Supergirl" had an inside story back then.
The "originator" of China's draft
In 2005, under the influence of Korean entertainment, Hunan TV also created a talent show "Super Girl", and this show can be regarded as the beginning of China's draft.
There were various girls with different styles participating in the show, but only one person caught the attention of the audience, and this person was Li Yuchun.
What caught everyone's attention was not because of her appearance or her strength, but because of her tomboy-like dress.
In that non-mainstream era, this style seemed to be unusually popular. Soon, Li Yuchun stood out from the crowd.
And "Super Girl" also chose a different way to select the champion than previous shows, that is, the people voted for it.
Although this method of voting is now common, in those days, votes were counted on the basis of text messages.
There was even a wave of voting that year.
It is said that her fans spent a lot of real money in order to let her win the championship.
There are also many people who spontaneously organize teams because they like her, and go to the street to pull a ticket back for her.
And Li Yuchun did not live up to those who loved her, and finally won the championship. Zhou Bichang and Zhang Liangying, who competed with her, won the third and second places respectively.
It can be said that Li Yuchun is the first "star" selected by the audience in China.
In fact, at that time, many people questioned this result, but in the end they did not find any substantial evidence.
Perhaps, Li Yuchun's unique style is the reason why she can win the championship.
At that time, when she first debuted, many people targeted her style and predicted that she would be popular for no more than three months.
But unexpectedly, not long after her debut, she became a fragrant gluttony that major entertainment companies rushed to sign. In the end, Li Yuchun chose Tianyu Company.
Since then, the company has treated her as a cash cow and received countless events and advertisements for her.
But it didn't take long for Li Yuchun to realize that something was wrong.
Sink your heart into making music
At that time, Li Yuchun was like those stars who became popular overnight in the entertainment industry,
After his debut, he has been arranged by the company to do some activities, and has been required to receive various advertisements.
At first, she was still immersed in this "she is very red" atmosphere, but after a while, she felt as if she had forgotten her original intention.
In 2006, Li Yuchun decided to make his own album. But she found that there were so many things to do that she couldn't calm down. So I proposed to the company that I wanted to calm down and watch making music.
Luckily, her company wasn't a short-sighted small company, and she was very supportive of her idea.
After a period of polishing, Li Yuchun handed over an answer that satisfied the market.
She released her debut album "Queen and Dream", and as soon as the album was released, it was instantly snatched up, selling 1.37 million copies in one go, and even breaking the record for album sales at that time.
With this achievement, Li Yuchun's reputation has also risen to another level, and she has become the most popular female singer in the Chinese music scene.
After that, she went on to release several albums and several popular songs.
Since then, her position in the Chinese music scene has been completely stabilized.
But she has been able to hold the C position in the entertainment industry for so many years, relying on more than just these songs.
Favored by the fashion circle
It may be because of Li Yuchun's unique style, so she has been very popular in the fashion circle since her debut.
As soon as she debuted in 2005, she directly appeared on the cover of Time Magazine.
After that, he was loved by top fashion designer Gaultire with his charm, and with the help of Gaultire, Li Yuchun began to kill in the entertainment industry.
She even won the favor of Chanel's chief designer Lafayette.
In 2016, Chanel held a big show in Beijing.
But many stars in the circle were invited, and even movie stars and queens. But only Li Yuchun was invited to sit next to Chanel's high-level and next to the president.
This honor, not to mention in China, even in Chanel's home country, few people can have this kind of treatment.
It can be seen how unshakable Li Yuchun's status in the fashion circle is.
In addition to these, Li Yuchun also wore haute couture clothing of major brands at his concert.
Those who don't know about haute couture may not be clear, and stars in the entertainment industry will borrow some haute couture clothes every time they are at major events. And not everyone can borrow it, brands will consider the fashion and popularity of each star to make a decision. In other words, you may not be able to wear it if you want to.
But some of Li Yuchun's haute couture are specially customized for her by designers.
These also prove once again the particularity of Li Yuchun.
She has achieved full bloom in every field, and her status in the entertainment industry has slowly increased.
The C position that cannot be beaten by iron
If Li Yuchun can follow this path, it will definitely be a singer with a national reputation.
However, since she first debuted in the past few years, there have been some songs out of the circle, and it seems that there have been no songs that have been praised by the audience in the past few years.
The only one is the theme song "Priceless Sister" written for "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" in 2020, but although this song is very popular, its reputation is very general, and it was rumored that she copied other people's lyrics at that time, but there has been no response.
It was even evaluated by netizens as a cheap "saliva song", but this is also a big truth, as if after that time, I have never heard this song again.
Unlike other singers in the Chinese music scene, there are many out-of-the-loop works, and she does not have as many audiences as actors, nor does she have a huge fan base like traffic stars, but she can maintain the C position of every event of the media, and even for more than ten years.
This made many people question her, what is Li Yuchun for?
As we all know, in the entertainment industry, such a vanity fair, fan position has always been the most valued by various stars. At various events, including the party, if anyone can take the C position or finale, it means that her status is the highest in the group.
Therefore, who can stand in the C position has always been a hot topic in the entertainment industry.
In the early years, Li Yuchun was not so persistent about the C position. But in recent years, I don't know if it's because of her team or her own ideas, as long as she appears, it must be the C position. Even ask the organizers to replace her if not.
On this year's Weibo night, some netizens found that she was sitting next to the actress Li Bingbing, and the next seat was the famous director Zhang Yimou. Even stars like Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming are not as good as her position.
In the final group photo, she even overwhelmed Li Bingbing and stood next to the organizer.
And this is not outrageous, judging from the official propaganda picture, she even pressed Hu Ge, Deng Chao such a powerful actor with honor on her body, and Yang Mi, Liu Shishi can only stand behind her.
Even on the movie night, Li Yuchun was able to suppress the queen Zhou Dongyu, and Shen Teng, a box office actor of tens of billions, stood in the double C position with Li Bingbing.
And in her original music field, it is unrivaled. Even Jackie Chan had to step aside when he saw her.
And these are not the most excessive, when warming up for the Winter Olympics in 2021, a certain platform originally put the Olympic champion in the C position, and just when everyone was wondering how Li Yuchun was willing to give up the C position this time, the poster was updated again.
The newly released poster, Li Yuchun still stands in position C. And the original Olympic champion stood in her position, which really seemed a little deliberate.
To say, usually compare with stars in the entertainment industry, I don't understand why I have to compete for a coffee position in front of the Olympic champions.
And like this, the temporary change of position is not the first time it has happened to Li Yuchun.
At a certain event, it was originally the C position where a senior like Zhou Huajian was standing, but Li Yuchun changed the position for others and stood in the middle.
Of course, there are many such things, almost without exception, and her position in the entertainment industry can overwhelm anyone.
Some people say that her original intention is no longer in music, and she slowly lost herself after entering the circle.
But in any case, I still hope that she can remember her original intention, only good works will be remembered.
