In 2005, On the "Walk of Fame", Ah Bao crushed the Phoenix Legend Group with a song "Shandan Dan Red Yan" and won the championship of the year, becoming a well-deserved "grassroots singer king".
But now the popularity of the Phoenix Legend is still soaring, but Ah Bao is like disappearing; there is no longer his Northern Shaanxi song on the stage, and it is difficult for the media to see him again, what has he experienced?
Ah Bao, whose real name is Zhang Shaochun, was born in 1969 in Datong, Shanxi Province.
Like the word "Chun" in his name, at the beginning of his fame, his childhood was set like this: Ah Bao was born in a small rural area in Shanxi, because he was influenced by the rural folk environment; he liked folk songs since he remembered.
But the poverty of the countryside is an obstacle to everything, in that era of growing grain farmers everywhere, Ah Bao's ideas can be said to be whimsical, fortunately, no matter how tired he is, Ah Bao's parents are very supportive of him.
So in the end, he also chose to develop to study music and art, but unfortunately, he was impersonated when he was admitted to the quota, which made him lose touch with professional music learning.
Later, he had to take advantage of the gap between sheep herding, facing the heavy mountains of Shanxi; while grazing, while exercising his voice, because he did not understand any music theory knowledge, did not know the vocal skills, so how to improve the singing skills, only by relying on their own step by step to study and explore.
After growing up, Ah Bao has never given up his original intention; he has participated in one game after another, although he has experienced repeated failures, but these setbacks have not shaken his determination in the slightest, and he has participated in CCTV's "Western Folk Song Contest" in 2004.
The Emperor did not disappoint, this time he did not fail, he also won the bronze medal with his singing skills and voice that he had honed for many years.
The small success of this competition also gave Ah Bao great self-confidence, so in October of the same year, he signed up for the then popular grassroots stage "Walk of Fame".
Ah Bao's play is a bit different, he is different from others in terms of dress, and he tries his best to show his brilliance.
Ah Bao is a white coat, a red belt, a white turban and a yellow earth-like face, rustic, vicissitudes but simple.
Although he was dressed plainly, Ah Bao didn't care, all he wanted was to perfectly show his singing voice on the stage, and he would not let himself down.
Along the way, he passed the level, and Ah Bao won the first month's championship.
Wearing a white scarf and shoulders, the image of a simple peasant boy began to leave seeds in the minds of the public, and Ah Bao also gathered a considerable popularity with his strength and simple temperament.
Shortly thereafter, he released his personal debut album, Abao.
In 2005's "Walk of Fame", Ah Bao was on the stage, with a song "Shandan Dan Blossoms Red", shocking four seats.
Netizens were shocked at the same time as marveling at Ah Bao's hard strength, because the song "Shandan DanHua Blossoms Red and Colorful" is a simple folk song with a unique style; full of strength and mountain village atmosphere, which is the first time in the history of the performance of "Walk of Fame".
Ah Bao's voice is unique, low and thick; although there is no excessive skill, it is full of affection. In the end, he crushed the Phoenix Legend and bravely folded the laurel, and his fate changed.
Through the network spread, the good news of Ah Bao's victory soon spread throughout the streets, and for a time everyone was discussing this peasant singer king, and his once dismissed rustic dress has become a popular style that everyone is competing to imitate.
In 2006, Ah Bao first stepped on CCTV and performed on the same stage with famous singers such as Wu Yanze and Dai Yuqiang. This opportunity changed Ah Bao's life, because this performance made him a star completely.
After becoming famous, Ah Bao also embarked on the clichéd plot of grassroots counterattack, taking on business performances and endorsements; immeasurable wealth rolled in and was also taken for granted by him.
Not only that, Ah Bao's story has also attracted countless ordinary people to learn, fame and fortune, and he also has the title of "Grassroots Song King".
A guy from a small place in Shaanxi, with his sincerity and simplicity, impressed the vast number of low-level people in China, and the unexpected fame also made Ah Bao taste the sweetness of fame and fortune.
In 2014, Ah Bao participated in the CCTV-curated program "Echo Loud".
At the scene of the program, Ah Bao officially worshiped Guo Lanying as a teacher, speaking of Guo Lanying, she is a famous old musician representative in China, who has contributed to China's cultural and creative undertakings.
However, just after Ah Bao bai, he became arrogant for a while, not only changing the low profile of the past, but even respecting some of the elderly in the circle as juniors.
Guo Degang had shared the stage with him, and in the program, Ah Bao showed that he was low-key, but turned his head to Guo Degang next to him and proudly said that he had entered the Great Hall of the People and had sung in it.
In addition, for the Phoenix Legend group that debuted as runner-up in the "Walk of Fame" in the same period, it was also very famous at the time, but Ah Bao made a big fuss and frankly said that he wanted to destroy the Phoenix Legend, such an act made many doubts also rush to haunt him.
As the so-called ascent is easy to fall, as the popularity is getting higher and higher, Ah Bao's lies are finally exposed by the media madly, and private Ah Bao not only loves to show off his wealth, in addition to showing off a number of mansions owned in Beijing; there are also high-end mounts such as Rolls-Royce.
Ah Bao even married a wife 15 years younger than him, Zhang Dongling, who once participated in "Super Girl"; this exposure completely subverted the public's impression of his simplicity.
But at that time, most netizens were still very rational, they thought that Ah Bao was born in a poor rural area, relying on his own efforts to accumulate wealth, how to use it is Ah Bao's own freedom and rights.
But I didn't expect Ah Bao to touch the bottom line of everyone again, and it turned out that the so-called poor birth and the so-called counterattack were just a big lie.
First of all, Ah Bao is not a rural doll who herds sheep in the countryside, and his parents are not farmers, before Ah Bao's "Walk of Fame" officially became famous, he was in a state-owned enterprise with a double holiday, which was a fairly decent job compared to sheep herding.
In addition, he also received a good musical education, and even worked as a resident singer in the local bar for a long time, singing English songs.
He himself signed a contract with a company earlier, but his fame was not obvious and could not bring enough revenue to the company, so the company carefully planned this "sheep herding baby" scam.
The planning effect can be described as a success, Ah Bao sold miserably and sold quite well, and he himself won everything with this fictional identity story.
But where in the world is there an impermeable wall, Ah Bao, who has been pulled out of his true identity, has suddenly become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, and everyone can accept him showing off his wealth and being proud and complacent, but he will never be allowed to use his compassion to create a false persona and deceive everyone.
In the end, Ah Bao fell from the mythical "grassroots singer king" and fell to pieces, and public opinion began to turn against one side, and finally in a scolding and the blockade of various media businesses, Ah Bao disappeared from the public eye.
After a long time, Ah Bao's door did not go out of the second door, and he lived at home all day, but his wife earned a lot of money when doing live broadcasts, and soon after, this grassroots brother king became a soft rice man who could only rely on his wife to support his family.
Until 2020, Ah Bao returned to the stage again, over 51 years old, he has lost the blood and vitality of that year, and his face is tired left by the years.
And the clothes he wears are still the red belt of the shoulders of many years ago, for this, some people think that he is really down, but some people think that he is regaining his original intention and stepping on the journey of pursuing dreams.
Although Ah Bao once deceived the audience with the false background of "shepherding babies", there is no doubt that he is a powerful person, not to mention that the company wants to package him as a "peasant counterattack"; as a subordinate artist, what ability does he have to disobey?
If we change our perspective, it is not difficult to find that people like Ah Bao are not alone, and how many singers with good singing skills in the music scene today, such as Zhou Chuanxiong and Daolang, can only sing silently in the end, and now they are unknown.
On the contrary, some people who have inexplicably caught fire have become the top streams of the music world, such as Meng Meiqi, Hua Chenyu, etc.; today's music scene, most of them are king of traffic, in order to cater to the public, they have lost their original selves; this is Ah Bao's helplessness and the sadness of the times.
At the beginning of 2021, Ah Bao posted a video of himself eating through social media, in which he, dressed simply and not ostentatiously, stood by the kitchen to eat breakfast, and then did not forget to hum a song.
After that, he also released a singing video with Wang Xu, in which Ah Bao still adheres to the simple style, which can be seen that he is really looking for the original intention, the two are singing happily, and the atmosphere is quite beautiful.
Ah Bao then also posted several sets of photos, it is their family in the production of frozen cabbage, surprisingly, Ah Bao's kitchen is quite ordinary, and the kitchen that netizens think is very different, but it is the kitchen of an ordinary farmhouse, the space is not large, the light is general.
In addition, we also saw the appearance of the living room of Ah Bao's house, simple and even somewhat rudimentary, ordinary sofas, blue cushions, and television sets are also ordinary sizes, and it seems to have been used for many years.
Many people asked, "How did Ah Bao, who was once so red, mix so miserably?" Until now, there are still many audiences who like to listen to Ah Bao singing silently concerned about him, hoping that he can come back as soon as possible to continue singing this path.
After so many years of "shepherding", in fact, the audience has long forgiven him, and Ah Bao is at least a powerful singer. Some netizens have also indicated: "Ah Bao gave us a strong singing shock, as long as his high voice is not fake, is it so important to be a farmer?" ”
Not to talk about Ah Bao's dummy things, his singing voice and voice are always true, he is so sincere when singing; and Ah Bao's performance is always so devoted, he is also the most representative of the northern Shaanxi wind, why not let him continue to create better works on the stage?
Jin is not a perfect person, people can only grow after making mistakes, and Ah Bao is not unforgivable for mistakes, I hope he will regain his original intention and continue to bring different happiness to everyone.
