Interpretation of microhistory
Who is Xie Xiaodong?
The younger generation may not remember this name, but his achievements that year are also obvious to tens of millions of viewers.
When he was the most popular, he was invited to the Spring Festival Gala 14 times, and he was called "the representative of a new generation of male gods" with Mao Ning, Fei Xiang, and Cai Guoqing.
Health song, Chinese baby, I'm so happy today, I don't know the wind .......
These songs, which everyone can sing with their mouths open, are all his works.
At that time, there was such a sentence in and out of the circle.
"What is Andy Lau's status in Hong Kong, and what is Xie Xiaodong's status in the mainland"
Unexpectedly, at the peak of his career, he would leave the music scene and become a "bad singer" from a girl idol, has Xie Xiaodong ever regretted it?
01 Helplessness before becoming famous
Before he became famous, his experience was simple.
's father is the head of the song and dance troupe, and his mother is a famous opera actor, if nothing else, Xie Xiaodong will also embark on the road of music.
Unexpectedly, the two "good voices" were negative.
has musical talent, can sing pop songs, model plays, local operas, but the talent and interest in dancing are far stronger than this gene.
If the child is interested, the parents will naturally not be stingy.
invited a famous dancer to give his son a private lesson, and Xie Xiaodong's performance did not live up to the expectations of the old couple.
Anyone who participates in a competition can take home a prize.
Xie Xiaodong is like a child from someone else's family, growing up day by day in the praise of teachers and the admiration of classmates.
Perhaps, it was too much pressure to be noticed, and fate played a little joke on him.
Xie Xiaodong, who has high standards and strict requirements for himself, accidentally injured his ankle in the process of practicing Xi dance.
Although it does not affect walking and dancing, it cannot do difficult movements.
If he persists like this, he will not achieve anything higher, and his whole person is also shrouded in a sluggish mood.
Fortunately, he still has a way out.
looks good, sings well, and your future achievements will definitely not be lower than dancing.
So, after graduating, I followed my father's old path and entered the local song and dance troupe to work, but that era was not as good as now.
Cai Guoqing, Joey Yung, Na Ying.......
These singers with strong business ability continue to emerge, adding a lot of obstacles to his singing career.
It is true that the song and dance troupe is an iron rice bowl, but in the days when he can't receive performances, Xie Xiaodong can't even maintain his basic life.
In order to support himself, he had to go out and pick up private work.
Looking at the posture of Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui and others on the stage on the screen, think about their sneaky current situation.
For a while, Xie Xiaodong's heart was like a mixed bag.
He wanted to sing.
He wants to be upright and use the identity of a "singer" to stand on a bigger stage and sing.
With a strong idea, he quit his current job and stepped on the train to Beijing, and it was this move that changed his ordinary.
02 Born superstar
Dwelling basement.
Eat one meal a day.
Although he has experienced some hardships, his accumulation when he was a child and his natural good skin made him fortunate to be photographed by Bole - Gu Jianfen, and he successfully got a direct card for apprenticeship and learning art.
While his music literacy and singing skills have been greatly improved, he also signed up for the "Youth Song Competition" held by CCTV.
The song "I Don't Know the Wind" became famous, not only won the title of "the most popular singer".
He was only 22 years old that year.
This strength and talent have made Xie Xiaodong attract the attention of capital, and countless companies have thrown olive branches to him.
As a result, a packaged "idol singer" was born.
In the MV, most of them are simple landscapes.
Road.
Desert.
Seaside.
Grassland.
Where the scenery is good, shoot wherever you go, Xie Xiaodong, who combs his well-behaved hair, just lets the blower blow.
Lang Hu.
Can't see the face clearly.
Although the camera is far away, the audience can only see a vague figure, and all they can hear is a loud singing, but this set of shooting techniques is very popular at the moment.
The competition was participated in in 1990, and the Spring Festival Gala was held in 1991, and he was still shining on the stage.
Although it is a song that is disliked by all singers, the response is the best.
He is like a natural superstar, no matter how cold the field is, he can get hot.
The excellent business ability of singing and dancing, the changeable song style, and the handsome appearance made the audience's voice reach a climax.
Wide audience.
High gold content.
Even Xie Xiaodong has become a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala, and the opportunities that others dream of getting are commonplace for him.
At the peak of his career, not only the audience likes him, but even insiders can turn into stars in seconds when they meet him.
For example, the younger sister who has repeatedly rumored scandals - Na Ying.
has been working together for a long time, and everyone suspects that the two have an ambiguous relationship in private.
didn't cooperate, and some people began to wonder if the two had broken up.
Regarding the brain supplement of netizens, he clarified more than once, indicating that he and Na Ying are only cooperative relations and old friends who have known each other for many years.
After that, everyone knew that Na Ying really confessed to a person back then, and the other party was not Xie Xiaodong, but Cai Guoqing.
The fledgling Zhang Ziyi was also fascinated by Xie Xiaodong.
Through the operation of competition and multi-party relationships, you can get an opportunity to participate in the MV shooting.
But decades have passed, and the little junior sister and the little fan sister at the beginning are no longer the young and statusless little girl.
A winning diva.
One went international and won 12 actress crowns.
On the other hand, the former idols not only lost their thriving careers, but also lost their names in the long river of years.
The young man only heard his voice and did not know him as a person.
The lens of the media no longer favors him, tracks him, and reports on him.
It was none other than Xie Xiaodong himself who caused all this.
"I'm getting unhappy and I want to leave the music scene"
In this way, Xie Xiaodong, who was at the peak of his career, began to hesitate between leaving and persevering.
03 Happiness is paramount
So, he just "disappeared".
What should you be if you are not a singer?
Be a businessman.
After all, after so many years in the entertainment industry, he is not the poor boy who only has dreams and has no ability to realize them.
Wealth.
Position.
Network.
It is a good way to use these as a stepping stone to open an industry, but I didn't expect to lose to the word experience in the end.
The business that has been losing money again and again has brought his career to an impasse.
has changed from a star sought after by everyone in the past to a debt-ridden appearance, who can accept it?
He was depressed during that time, but fortunately he was not alone.
Xie Xiaodong's wife is an outsider named Yu Jiaen.
Humility.
Mild.
Guileless.
met in a hurry at the party, she didn't recognize the man in front of her, who was a big star in other people's mouths, and only reacted after being introduced.
A good first impression made the two have more and more contact, and the relationship was naturally confirmed.
Although this relationship was not blessed by both parents, the two still stepped into the palace of marriage.
After the birth of their son, the relationship between the two families eased.
Now, the husband has strayed into a low point in his life, and his wife, Yu Jiaen, is also sparing no effort to comfort and find a way.
can play a key role in a program called "Dance Forest Conference".
remembered that her husband had danced before, so she pulled someone to sign up.
Rehearse.
Upper platform.
The busy days made him gradually forget the anxiety and frustration at the beginning.
The familiar field allowed him to find the high-spirited self he once was.
The championship trophy gave him hope.
people, also out of the haze.
Perhaps, he also thought about continuing to play music, and perhaps, he also thought about acting in movies across borders, but there were suddenly some stumbling blocks on the road.
The embarrassment of not breaking through for a long time made Xie Xiaodong play "disappearing" for the second time.
What did he do this time?
At the suggestion of his wife, he once again set his sights on the mall.
The difference is that this time he did not blindly follow the public, but chose a familiar field - music.
That's called a fish in water, that's called a smooth one, and in the 10s, digital albums took off.
The music industry ushered in spring, and even Xie Xiaodong's company took advantage of this shareholder wind to soar.
In just a few years, as the boss, Xie Xiaodong has earned as much as nine figures.
Since then, he has rarely been heard from.
The last time he appeared was at a dinner party between Yan Weiwen and Zhu Shimao.
Drinking a 12-yuan drink and eating a table of hundreds of dollars directly pushed the topic of "celebrity dinner grade" to the hot search.
Rich people eat this?
As everyone knows, it's not that people don't have money, but that the money is spent on the blade.
Since the business has improved, Xie Xiaodong has become a loyal fan of public welfare activities.
Appearing at a charity concert is a routine operation.
For example, in 2011, he and President Tan performed in Wuhan.
In addition, it will also invest in Hope Primary School, spend money to support poor students, hold disaster relief concerts, and set up a foundation.......
Although singer Xie Xiaodong "disappeared", Xie Xiaodong, a public welfare person, is still on the way to spreading goodwill and practicing great love.
Today, 55-year-old Xie Xiaodong has long lost the handsomeness of the nineties and the popularity at the peak of his career.
Finally, there is a chance to appear on any party, and there is no opportunity to sing solo, and the artists who cooperate on the same stage are either Zhao Lusi or Jiang Shuying.
The photos that came out were all bearded.
Such treatment, such an image, the pitiful number of fans on Weibo.
No wonder, some say he has no image.
It's no wonder that it will be labeled as "outdated".
But so what?
has a successful career, a wife who has been with him for 28 years, a son who is not arrogant, and parents who are in good health, walking on the road that he thinks is right........
How can such ordinariness not be great?
