The music scene in the 90s was a place where "gods fought".
At that time, people and songs were very important, when did it start to seem that everything was calm, and there were no more classics?
Look at today's music scene, what is the most popular?
Almost all of them are love songs, and there are very few songs that were very "hard" and belonged to men back then.
But back then, some of them were old, some had quit the music scene, and some had passed away.
The music of that era, those familiar melodies, seems to be just yesterday.
For them, perhaps fame and fortune are no longer important, the most important thing is the love of music.
Their songs have been imprinted in the youth of a generation.
"Wine Mengzi" Jinggang Mountain
"A song eats a lifetime of dividends"
This is Jinggang Mountain.
When did Jinggangshan leave the music scene and pick up the wine jar?
Once upon a time, Jinggangshan was an artist who had a good performance in the music and film and television industries.
After an online video was exposed this year, this former figure once again became the focus of public opinion.
In this video, Jing Gangshan did not shy away from talking about being regarded as a "wine Mengzi" by the outside world, and admitted that his love for wine has not changed due to outside opinions.
Born in 1967, Jinggangshan stepped into the music scene at the age of 19 and launched his first solo album "Jinggangshan Album".
In the following years, Jinggangshan successively published a number of high-profile music works, and gradually emerged in the music scene.
Just when his singing career was at its peak, he gradually faded out of people's attention due to alcoholism.
Jinggangshan once revealed that in the years of hard work in the entertainment industry, socializing at the wine table has become commonplace.
At first, he just chose to drink in order to cope with various social situations.
Over time, drinking became a part of his life and even a way to relieve stress.
During his career in Jinggangshan, he has suffered from alcohol problems many times. Once he was unable to complete the filming task due to drunkenness during the recording of the program, which caused a lot of trouble to the program team.
On another occasion, he suffered a drunken gaffe at a public event, which caused disgust among the audience. The occurrence of these things undoubtedly brought a huge impact to his singing career.
Now Jinggangshan is 55 years old.
Looking back on the past years, I am full of emotion.
The most important thing is to quit alcohol addiction and restore health, fame and fortune are fleeting.
Life is like this, when it is hot, there are times when it is low, everything will go flat, and it is still beautiful to enjoy life with a wine glass.
Chen Shaohua was "released from prison" and became a rich man
"Song celebrities are not popular"
When it comes to legends in the Chinese pop music scene, Chen Shaohua has to be mentioned.
In the 90s, he became famous with a song "Wine on September 9", which expressed the unique nostalgia and nostalgia of the Chinese people, and with Chen Shaohua's slightly vicissitudes of voice, it made people listen to both joy and melancholy.
"Wine on September 9" is popular all over the country, and countless people are singing this classic in KTV.
After that, he released "Ninety-Nine Daughter Red", which depicts the warm scene of the family reunion during the Double Ninth Festival, which is in stark contrast to "Wine on September Nine", which further established his status as a household name.
In 1997, Chen Shaohua appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and sang with popular female singers, which can be said to be in the limelight and his career reached its peak.
But at this moment, a sudden change changed his fate.
He was wounded in the face and in the arm by several bad people with sharp blades.
This sudden incident shocked both inside and outside the entertainment industry, and public opinion was in an uproar.
As a result, Chen Shaohua was hospitalized for a long time, underwent multiple surgeries and recuperated for a long time, and his career was indeed seriously affected by this.
When it came time to make a comeback, his new album and performance box office plummeted, and he finally had to choose to transform and start to get involved in the bathroom product distribution business.
In the first few years after changing careers, Chen Shaohua experienced a lot of hardships.
He started from scratch and had no savings, so he had to borrow money from everywhere to make ends meet.
Due to his lack of experience, the first few transactions were lost, and several times he was on the verge of bankruptcy.
During this period of "baptism", he endured many tortures, but with perseverance he did not give up.
Gradually, through unremitting efforts, he accumulated a wealth of industry knowledge and network resources, and finally opened up a world of his own.
It's also because I made money that I floated, because "XD" was detained, and after being released from prison, his career was ruined, and he had no choice but to continue to make his own way in the business world.
Now he has grown into a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and his career has reached a new peak.
Gao Feng's "early death"
At first, he did not go smoothly on the road of music, and even encountered a cold reception from the market on his debut album, but this did not hold him back.
After a period of precipitation and self-reflection, Gao Feng began to turn behind the scenes, writing songs for others, and using his musical talent to help others succeed.
Huang Ge's "Spring Water Flow", Li Lingyu's "Spring", Xie Xiaodong's "Don't Hang for a Hundred Years" and other songs are all from him, and the wide dissemination of these songs has also made more and more people realize Gao Feng's talent.
In 1994, Gao Feng finally ushered in a major turning point in his music career.
He signed a contract with the world-famous EMI Records, and with his own efforts and talents, he created the popular song "Great China".
This song not only quickly became popular all over the country, but also made him a heavyweight in the Chinese music scene.
In the following years, Gao Feng continued to release high-quality music works, whether on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala or in various large-scale events, his singing voice can always bring endless emotion and strength to the audience.
His musical works, such as "Stupid Child", "I Don't Believe in Tears", "A Dream in a Lifetime", "Night Fragrance", etc., have not only enjoyed great fame in China, but also won wide acclaim overseas.
Just when his career was in full swing, illness quietly invaded him.
At the end of his life, Gao Feng remained optimistic, unwilling to let his illness affect others, and even refused to be visited by his friends.
His passing has left countless fans and peers deeply saddened, but his music and spirit will always remain in people's hearts.
A representative of a generation of tough guys in the music world
The name Tu Honggang should not be unfamiliar to people who like to listen to songs, he has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his bold and free singing voice, and popular works such as "Chinese Kung Fu" and "Loyal to the Country" are widely circulated.
But while his popularity increased, he also fell into emotional entanglements.
Tu Honggang had two unhappy marriages.
The first marriage was to a Chinese-American Daisy, and the two had a mixed-race boy together, but for various reasons, the relationship did not last long.
Later, he met Fang Shu, a well-known actress who was ten years older than him, and they walked into the marriage hall hand in hand in 94 and formed a much-talked-about "sister and brother lover".
Fang Shu has won widespread acclaim for his works such as "The Dumb Bride" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" and has become one of the most popular TV hosts in China.
The two entertainers have achieved some success in the same industry, but they are not in harmony when they are together and end up choosing to separate.
After that, Tu Hong just started his third married life, and fell in love with his current wife Xiaoyue, raising a pair of children together.
He considered it the best time of his life.
Later, he was keen to engage in commercial activities, but unfortunately most of his business projects failed.
It's also "declining".
Guo Feng's "household name"
Guo Fengfeng became a shining star in the Chinese music scene not by chance, but the result of his persistent pursuit of music and personal talent.
Earlier in his career, he joined a band called "Magic Rock", where he was a keyboardist and responsible for a number of compositions and arrangements.
Here, he got to know a lot of musicians.
But for various reasons, the band soon disbanded.
At that time, Guo Feng was only 23 years old and faced the situation of being homeless again.
But that didn't dampen Guo's confidence, on the contrary, he saw it as an opportunity to develop his music career on his personal path.
After that, Guo Feng started his solo career and released many classic songs, such as "Let This World Be Full of Love", "Can't Do Without You" and so on.
These songs are not only loved by a wide range of audiences in China, but also enjoy a high reputation overseas.
These works also made Guo Feng leap from an unknown young musician to a well-known pop songwriter in China.
The song "Fill the World with Love" even became the theme song for the International Year of Youth in 1985.
Years later, at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, this classic old song also sounded again in the Bird's Nest, as if telling the memory of a generation.
Guo Feng is also a very dedicated musician, and he is always exploring how to create better music.
Despite his high achievements, he retains the humility of a creator and often even seeks out young musicians to learn Xi their creative techniques.
This attitude has led to his music being highly praised by the industry.
Even after years of doing so, Guo Feng's popularity still seems to fade to the attention of young people.
He has always kept a low profile, and he is not interested in the current traffic stars and the pursuit of popularity of works.
Some people think that this is already "Jiang Lang's talent", but those who really know him understand that he is still sticking to his own musical path.
Maybe in today's era of live broadcasts and short videos, Guo Feng's works are no longer so popular, but the classics of those eras will always accompany Guo Feng's fans.
Perhaps this is the best evaluation of a musician.
Time is a merciless thing, it takes away something, but it leaves us with more precious memories.
They used their talents and efforts to create a history of their own, which will never be forgotten at any time.
