introduction
Just as the so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, friends who could still be side by side 20 years ago may already go their separate ways and live in different circumstances 20 years later.
When the former friends who rushed in the entertainment industry looked back, they were already different from the past.
Once the two leading divas of the 90s Chinese music scene, their relationship has always been watched by the audience.
From former friends, slowly turned into rivals, until now become the most familiar stranger.
The two were very red when they met, Na Ying and Tian Zhen, the "plastic sister flowers", used to walk side by side together, competing with each other, and became each other's most respected opponents.
But with the passage of time, until now, the situation of the two has long been different, looking at the two divas who used to be so dazzling, the current situation is indeed embarrassing, and it is even more difficult to settle.
Competing side by side for many years is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat
Since the 90s, Na Ying and Tian Zhen have successively appeared in the public's vision.
To say that there are so many artists in the entertainment industry, the two do not belong to the same agency, and there will be no competitive pressure.
But the music types of the two are very similar, even the voice line is unusually similar, and they are both northern girls.
It stands to reason that such similarities are very rare in the entertainment industry, and the two should become friends and walk side by side. In fact, when they first debuted, the two were indeed friends, and they often performed together on the same stage.
At that time, the two of them and Mao Amin were known as the "Spring Festival Gala Golden Microphone", as long as the three of them played, the ratings would rise.
But after all, one mountain does not allow two tigers, over time, everyone will always compare these two same people, and the two people with such a serious "collision" are destined to have no peaceful ending for the two from the day they entered the entertainment industry.
In addition, the personalities of the two are very demanding, there is an undercurrent on the stage, and the two roll their eyes at each other offstage.
Na Ying's song "Conquest" when she debuted, coupled with her straight and smooth long hair, sang into everyone's hearts, and her husky and affectionate voice sang the helplessness and sobriety in this song.
In the face of Na Ying's advantages, Tian Zhen also did not panic at all, relying on her majestic and powerful singing voice and passionate song "Sonorous Rose", so that she was on par with Na Ying at the beginning of her debut.
And the popularity of these two songs, until now the lyrics and tunes can still be catchy.
Under everyone's gaze, the relationship between the two began to become secretly competitive, even if they were in the same frame, they were still-for-tat, without giving in, except for the two protagonists who had a bad relationship, their fans were also quarreling constantly.
In order to protect their idols, fans will quarrel as soon as they meet, and trying to make each other's fans have a hint of frustration is to add glory to idols.
If Na Ying's fans buy out the album, then Tian Zhen's fans will definitely rush to buy out Tian Zhen's album at the same time.
The fans are so competitive, how can the two divas indulge themselves not to work hard. Na Ying fires a song, Tian Zhen will immediately follow the footsteps and sing a popular song, Na Ying won the annual golden song award, Tian Zhen will also strive for it in the next year.
On the contrary, Tian Zhen released a new album with a new styling cover, and Na Ying will also release one in time for the heat, and the shape will be better than Tian Zhen's.
After becoming famous, Tian Zhen appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years and held several concerts.
Caught in the storm Fade out of the screen
The wavering relationship between the two began to change with the incident of "dropping the microphone" on April 29, 2001.
In the voting of the "most popular female singer in the mainland", Na Ying, who was initially ahead, was quickly caught up by Tian Zhen a few days before the awards, and the votes of the two became very close for a while.
And Tian Zhen's fans have not dared to slack, and it was also revealed that a person changed several mobile phones to vote for Tian Zhen, and finally Tian Zhen won the "Most Popular Female Singer Award in the Mainland", but because this award told Tian Zhen it was relatively late, so that it collided with Tian Zhen's other work.
Just when Tian Zhen was thinking, the organizers directly decided to postpone the award to Na Ying, who was in second place.
When waiting for Tian Zhen to receive the award, she was told that there was only one temporary award, but the organizer ignored Tian Zhen's fiery personality, in her opinion, other awards, even if they are prestigious, are better than the awards that fans have voted for her day and night, and she is not rare.
So when the host presented her with an award, she held a small note to explain to the audience what happened and why she didn't get the award. She also expressed her dissatisfaction with the organizer's unauthorized efforts and refused to accept the so-called better award that the organizer temporarily added for her.
The behind-the-scenes staff of the organizer turned off Tian Zhen's microphone many times, but the audience who knew the truth at the scene was very emotional. In addition, Tian Zhen himself also protested fiercely, and finally had no choice but to turn on the microphone.
After expressing all his dissatisfaction, Tian Zhen directly dropped the microphone on the ground and left the scene angrily.
The fans who followed her also threw away their tickets at the same time and left with their idols, originally thinking that Na Ying, who would be the second place to receive the award later, would be very embarrassed, and also refused to present the award, after all, this award was not voted by fans but the organizer took it upon himself to postpone it to her.
But Na Ying changed her usual impatience, even if Tian Zhen made a fuss in front, she still calmly walked onto the podium to release her acceptance speech, and burst into tears.
This incident had a great impact on Tian Zhen, although many people supported her to stand up and speak out and appreciate her honesty, but after all, it has touched some internal rules in the entertainment industry, even if she represents fairness and directness, offends the organizer, and the hat of playing big names is also buttoned up.
The official also temporarily removed her songs, and in the next two years, Tian Zhen was rarely heard, but Na Ying won the Best Female Singer Award for two consecutive years, and without Tian Zhen's competition, her career was thriving.
Tian Zhen was silent for a long time before responding to the "microphone drop" incident, saying that it was only aimed at the organizer and not Na Ying, and no matter who the second place was, she would make the same move.
When he was finally slowly preparing for a comeback, Tian Zhen was found to be suffering from a serious blood disease, which had endangered his life, and Tian Zhen had no choice but to give up his job in the entertainment industry and go to the hospital for treatment.
Shortly thereafter, Na Ying also announced the news of marriage and childbirth, fading out of the entertainment industry.
Diametrically opposed circumstances
For the past encounters between the two, they can only say: "He Sheng Yu He Sheng Liang". In the entertainment industry, which is similar to the arena of success and defeat, everyone must constantly show themselves from the beginning of stepping in order to get good resources and fans, which is an unusual road, not to mention that there is a person who is very similar to himself on this road.
Na Ying won the favor and support of many people with her song "Meet Nine Eight" with Faye Wong, and in the following ten years, she won the Spring Festival Gala 8 times, and was also the first mainland singer to win the Golden Melody Award.
Through her own efforts, she opened the concert at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong, which not only changed the views of Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots on mainland artists, but also prompted many Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots to go to the mainland for development.
Tian Zhen and Na Ying are like "twin flowers", one growing in spring and sunshine, and the other blooming on the cliff rock.
Tian Zhen was sent to the countryside by her mother due to illness since she was a child, but her heart slowly became hard without care, but God always joked with her, and her only dependent aunt died on the eve of the college entrance examination, and Tian Zhen also lost the college entrance examination.
The turn of fate always brings different life trajectories, and two people who used to drive side by side are now in very different situations.
Na Ying has countless fans with "The Voice of China" in 2012, which is undoubtedly a good start for her comeback after giving birth. Through the unprecedented format of cultivating amateurs, her position slowly began to solidify, and Na Ying has cultivated champions for several consecutive sessions, which is also an affirmation of her ability.
Until 2021, Na Ying, who is 53 years old, broke through herself again, and in the second season of Sister Lang, she changed genres, sang and danced, and was praised.
At the same time, Tian Zhen, who once brought motivation to Na Ying, is now not as exposed as before, and after experiencing a serious blood disease, she successfully defeated the disease and returned to the stage, and did not use her experience to win sympathy, but caused a lot of sensation with a song "Red Dust Inn".
Her demeanor is still the same, and she still shows a kind of chivalrous tenderness that belongs to Tian Zhen when she recovers from a serious illness.
Although the response is good, but the entertainment industry is now updated, the rising stars are emerging endlessly, and Tian Zhen can no longer return to the peak era of the past, which is unexpected, but she is still the "sonorous rose" we are familiar with.
Now she and Na Ying have become the predecessors of the rising stars in the entertainment industry and are respected by everyone.
epilogue
In the highly competitive and cruel field of the entertainment industry, two people with serious "collision" are not destined to have no intersection, and the audience will always habitually compare the same person.
But the two have never accused each other in public, and even if they discuss it, they are very indifferent, maybe they can really become good friends in ordinary life.
In fact, whether it is Na Ying or Tian Zhen, we should pay more attention to the works they bring and truly appreciate their music from the heart, rather than creating some senseless disputes for them.
For two divas who also have strength, no matter which one is lost, it is a loss for the music industry, a loss for each of our listeners.
