preface
From 10,000 people to everyone shouting, 51-year-old Zhang Huimei successfully ruined her image as a "music queen", although many netizens said: "I haven't heard her songs much." "Who gave the review?"
Some people even criticized bitterly: "Zhang Huimei has already been blacklisted, 'Taiwan independence is still pro-Japan', this time I want to come to China to make money?" There are no doors! ”
What happened to make this Taiwanese artist suffer such treatment?
New millennium: Chen Shui-bian takes office, A-mei sings the "Taiwan national anthem"
Now it seems that Zhang Huimei's history of fame can be called difficult to repeat, not that there is anything special, but it pays attention to "the right time and place", and there is no one less.
If the first half of her life proved what Xiaohong relied on to fight and rely on her life, then the second half of her life explained what "one thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon".
In Taiwan in the sixties and seventies, Zhang Huimei croaked in the tribe and lived in the mountains for generations, giving her a unique voice and charm.
In 1996, Zhang Huimei successfully went out of her hometown to see the bigger world, signed a contract with Fenghua Records, and the first album sold more than 4 million, at that time, her future was limitless.
Although Zhang Yusheng, whose middle partner is also a confidant, unfortunately suffered an accident and Amei fell into a downturn for a while, she continued to be strong with the will of her friends.
The first, the second, the Asian tour, if not for the events of the new millennium, her career could have gone to the next level, but unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world.
In 2000, when the leadership of the Taiwan region changed, the notorious "pro-Japanese elements," Chen Shui-bian took office, and all kinds of acts were common indignation, and the Taiwan people were in dire straits.
In the spring of that year, the inauguration ceremony was still held as scheduled, Zhang Huimei was popular, she was already a powerful person in the music industry, she was invited to sing for the opening of this event, but she sang nothing else, or the song that was regarded as "the song of a country" by the "separatist forces".
In the opinion of many netizens: what kind of "national anthem" is this? It's not even a song! This is a blatant provocation!
As soon as this mysterious operation came out, many mainland fans directly "turned pink to black", and foreign media hyped it up, and there was an attitude of "hanging high without caring about themselves", and Zhang Huimei was pushed to the cusp.
She has become a fanatical fan of "separatists", and for a time the crowd was excited and impassioned, and for Zhang Huimei, she also paid a terrible price.
Soon after that incident, Zhang Huimei was brutally banned in the mainland, not only could not be held according to the procedure, but also various publicity activities connected to the filming were completely banned.
Because this turmoil really caused immeasurable social impact, CCTV decided:
Stop broadcasting all pictures of Zhang Huimei's participation!
The market not only plays a vital role in a commodity, a kind of publicity, for those Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, leaving the huge group of fans, not to mention will be devastated, but also greatly reduce its influence.
There was no idol in front of the family country, but at that time, there were some fanatical fans who were stubborn and cleared their idols, saying that she may have been trapped, and people with ulterior motives wanted to create her rumors!
But think about it, are the remarks all true, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if someone so-called "set" her, then she and her team, no one can see through, so obviously, so as to avoid this situation?
Someone immediately retorted below: "Do you know all the lyrics, but you don't feel anything wrong when you sing it?" ”
Later, I learned that Zhang Huimei was not the first time, and she came to the mainland to prove herself, but she really came to "lift a stone and hit her own feet."
Changsha people anti-Japanese demonstration, but Zhang Huimei held a concert
After Zhang Huimei's singing incident, one album did not move, and the two did not improve, and the "old club" Fenghua was completely out of recruitment, wait.
Four years passed in a flash, A-mei came to Hangzhou, wanted to publicize her endorsement, if nothing else, it should be an accident, college students and the public formed a "anti-sister" team to resolutely resist.
For a while, the situation changed, Zhang Huimei did not even enter the scene, returned to Taiwan overnight, and later came forward to say:
I am Chinese and hope that everything will pass.
Yes, Taiwanese mainlanders are all Chinese, and there is no bitterness and hatred, which cannot be forgiven, which to a certain extent eases the people's views and attitudes towards Zhang Huimei.
However, a dynamic sent by her agent completely pits her own artist:
What is helplessness and what is reality? What is it called to secretly hide Taiwan's "national flag" in your pocket?
Artists and agents have always been two people walking together, a certain angle, the position of the agent, can also be used as the position of the artist, Zhang Huimei this time, how to explain?
Sometimes without explanation, it is also a kind of voice, and she was deeply involved in the problem of position, and she was banned again in the mainland, and major programs successively put her on the "blacklist", and the road to acting was dim.
In 2012, The Voice began to be popular, not only popularizing a large number of students, but also bringing many previous songs to life, including Zhang Huimei's "Three Days and Three Nights".
The following year, Zhang Huimei's affairs passed a long time, her attitude also changed many times, the entertainment industry in the mainland gradually rose, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists came to the mainland to develop, Zhang Huimei certainly did not miss it.
In 2014, Zhang Huimei held a concert in Changsha, and fans were worried that the concert would have accidents, and they all had preconceived ideas, saying: "A-mei has nothing to do with politics, don't involve her", "Leg injury and come to sing, why do this to her"?
It can be seen that at that time, how chaotic the scene should be, knowing that the street parade, and also holding a concert on the same day, did you still think that your "singing incident" passed quickly?
The good voice apologized to the trainees in private: It's not that you sang badly
Let's take a look at it before, after The Voice brought "Three Days and Three Nights" to fire, the next year invited Zhang Huimei as a mentor, and Li Qi, a trainee in the team, also won the annual championship of that year in one fell swoop.
Now with the revelation of Li Min's recording before his death, many students have come forward to speak, among them, there is Liang Xiaojun, a contestant who had a "past" with his mentor Zhang Huimei in the second season.
Because of the fire in the first season, the second season was even auditioned around the world, Liang Xiaojun, as an Australian Chinese singer, said that many people resigned or suspended school at that time before going to Shanghai to prepare for the recording of the show.
But he was told that he could go back, which made many players dissatisfied, and wrote to various consulates to complain about the program, although under pressure from all parties, the program was still carried out, but it is conceivable that none of the contestants were turned around.
Liang Xiaojun also said that it is definitely not a matter of strength, the best ones selected by the world to come in, the strength is still guaranteed, she revealed that as soon as the song was finished, the mentor Zhang Huimei found her privately:
"It's not that you sing badly, it's that we can't turn you, we can't turn, I'm sorry."
Strangely, after these overseas players left, 20 to 30 people entered the shed, and they wondered who these people were.
"These people have recorded before, he did not transfer, to record again, in fact, that is, there are places, but because it is reserved for these people, it may be the so-called people who have paid the transfer fee."
But she said she couldn't be sure, just listened to hearsay.
Since then, Zhang Huimei has rarely appeared in the public eye, not only disappeared in front of the camera, but even related songs, "Three Days and Three Nights", which once rejuvenated the "second spring", could not appear.
Invisible ban: "Sister Lang" scene, "Three Days and Three Nights" was directly killed
In the music variety show, when the producer introduced outstanding singers in Taiwan, as a generation of memory divas, Zhang Huimei was not on the list, and she did not mention it, let alone personally participated.
On August 5, 2022, "Sister Lang 3: Finals Night", the three female stars sang the song "Three Days and Three Nights" together, which was all cut when it had already been recorded.
This is strange, the overall deletion of the show must have a reason for the organizers, but there is nothing wrong with the three artists, that can only mean that the track itself is a bit of a statement.
According to the report, the reason why it was not broadcast was precisely because of the original singer Zhang Huimei.
Due to the unclear political position, the song could not be placed in the program, which led to this "one cut plum" incident.
After six years of absence, she herself announced a world tour in August, and the Beijing and Shanghai legs have been successfully carried out.
But many people scoffed at this: "When the mainland audience is stupid and has a lot of money?" ”
epilogue
Zhang Huimei went from a Taiwanese aboriginal who lived in the mountains since she was a child, to an Asian diva in the Chinese music scene, and later became a marginal artist who was invisibly banned, and the ups and downs are indeed sighing.
But there are no idols in front of the family and country, and as public figures, we cannot allow such an artist with unclear political positions to be active in front of and behind the scenes of the entertainment industry.
Her life trajectory also reflects the ups and downs of many Taiwan artists, all of whom have been very popular, and in the end, they have buried their great careers on the issue of doubtful positions, and they are not guaranteed in the future.
There are not a few Taiwanese artists who have been brutally banned because of similar problems, and I hope that others can take this as a warning and stop doing things that harm others and harm themselves.
