In the 90s of the last century, the Hong Kong circle gave birth to the Four Heavenly Kings, and in the inland areas, there are also several "first-generation male gods" who can be comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.
In those years, Cai Guoqing, Fei Xiang, Mao Ning and Xie Xiaodong were all frequent visitors to the Spring Festival Gala, and they also captured the hearts of countless girls, and they were the "top men's group" lingering in the hearts of many people.
Among these people, the youngest but most potential is none other than Xie Xiaodong, a song "I'm so happy today" made him popular for 20 years, and he was in the limelight for a while.
But when he was "at his most vigorous", he chose to marry the most ordinary woman, and as he grew older, Xie Xiaodong's popularity was no longer good, and he finally "went bankrupt" and had no choice but to quit the entertainment industry.
Why did Xie Xiaodong choose to be with his ordinary wife at all costs, and why is he glad about his choice now?
Artist North Drift
Beijing can be said to be the place of aspiration of most Chinese artists, and many music superstars such as Sun Nan, Na Ying, and Mao Amin have developed after going to Beijing alone.
The same is true for Xie Xiaodong, but before he went to Beijing, Xie Xiaodong had already cultivated an artistic cell in a special family.
Xie Xiaodong was born in 1968 in an artistic family in Anhui, and from the day he was born, his ears were listening to singing and his eyes were watching performances.
His mother was a stage actor in the song and dance troupe, proficient in singing and dancing, and although his father was a clerical in the song and dance troupe, he had a deeper insight into art than anyone else.
Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, Xie Xiaodong was born in such a family, and naturally his parents planned his future development path since he was a child, which is of course to take over their class.
In the years when Xie Xiaodong was in elementary school, his parents mainly cultivated his artistic interests, and they were busy with work and had little time to take care of Xie Xiaodong at home, so the song and dance troupe became his new home.
It's the best of both worlds, his parents can take him in here to take care of him, or they can let him live in such an environment and develop a love for art.
Xie Xiaodong is worthy of being an artist's child, his mother taught him to act in Bang Opera here, and he learned very quickly, he can learn a play in only two months, and the future is promising! This makes his parents very happy.
After graduating from primary school, Xie Xiaodong's family did not let him continue to go to junior high school, but sent him to an art school to receive professional art education.
As long as it is sports, there is a certain risk, Xie Xiaodong accidentally strained his ankle ligament while practicing dance, although it hurt so much that he couldn't walk, but it didn't attract his attention, he felt that it would be good to rest for a while, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big consequence.
After more than half a month passed, Xie Xiaodong thought that his injury was healed and continued to practice dancing, but as soon as he started practicing, his ankle hurt as if it was torn, so he hurried to the hospital to see, but it was too late to regret it.
The doctor told him that the injury had been delayed for too long, that the Achilles tendon had completely ruptured, that it had healed on its own, and that it had already shown deformity and development, and that he would no longer be able to do strenuous exercise.
So after the teacher communicated with Xie Xiaodong and his parents, he decided to transfer him to a different class and change from a dance class to learn singing.
Until graduation, with the help of his parents, Xie Xiaodong successfully entered the song and dance troupe to work, practiced Xi in the troupe every day, and followed the song and dance troupe to perform back and forth every three or five days, and his life was relatively comfortable, but this was not the life he wanted.
At the end of the 80s, Alan Tam, Li Zongsheng and other music superstars created songs that shocked the whole country, and their fame was known to everyone, countless people regarded them as idols, and Xie Xiaodong also longed for such a life.
So at the age of 20, Xie Xiaodong proposed to leave the song and dance troupe and go to Beijing to work alone, although his parents were unwilling, but under his constant insistence, his parents softened.
A boy who has never even been out of the province drifts north alone with his luggage, what kind of experience will he encounter?
Maxima meets Bole
If you want to become a singer like Alan Tam, you must find a way to make a name for yourself, and participating in a singing competition is the best way, but before the competition, Xie Xiaodong needs to feed his stomach first.
So Xie Xiaodong went to a dance hall to apply for a resident singer, which could not only earn living expenses but also practice singing, there was no more suitable job for him.
But it was summer, there was no air conditioning in the staff dormitory, the meals were even more simple, every day was sticky sweat, eating tasteless meals, after half a year of such a life, he could finally embark on the road of music.
The old artist Gu Jianfen planned to recruit a few more people to his training center, so he held a singing competition audition, Xie Xiaodong rushed to participate, and Gu Jianfen was caught at a glance.
After being included in Gu Jianfen's command, Xie Xiaodong knew that he had met a capable person, Gu Jianfen's students were Na Ying, Mao Amin and Liu Huan, and Xie Xiaodong was the youngest student here.
Gu Jianfen is indeed very capable, but Xie Xiaodong's own ability is also very important, under the guidance of Gu Jianfen, the next year Xie Xiaodong appeared in the National Youth Song Competition with a song "I Don't Know the Wind" and won the top three.
At the 1990 Asian Games, Xie Xiaodong and Liu Huan, Cai Guoqing, Mao Amin and others performed "Starry Tonight" on the same stage, this scene became a memory in the hearts of countless people, and Xie Xiaodong became famous completely.
The singer's career is developing rapidly, and Xie Xiaodong's love is also coming one after another, but the first person to show him love is his senior sister Na Ying.
Xie Xiaodong can sing and is handsome, and has become the dream lover of countless girls, Na Ying is also deeply attracted to him, but Xie Xiaodong finally declined the kindness of his senior sister.
Being handsome is indeed an advantage, which makes him famous faster and has more fans, but in the eyes of a professional singer, this is actually a bad thing.
Because everyone will think that Xie Xiaodong is recognized because of his appearance, not his strength, which also makes the teacher Gu Jianfen depressed.
Fortunately, Xie Xiaodong has appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for many years and released a number of highly sung songs, which made up for the "shortcomings" brought by his appearance with his achievements.
And the popular Xie Xiaodong quietly confirmed his relationship with a very ordinary girl.
Love comes unexpectedly
During a performance, Yu Jiaen, a girl studying in Japan, met Xie Xiaodong, and the handsome Xie Xiaodong immediately attracted Yu Jiaen, and Yu Jiaen is also a beauty who can make Xie Xiaodong fall in love at first sight.
The news of their love made many female fans sad, and they had a feeling of "falling out of love", which also made him lose a lot of fans, but so what?
3 years later, the two chose to get married and have children, and Xie Xiaodong once again swept the country with a song "I'm Happy Today", with unlimited scenery.
But there will always be times when stars are out of breath, not to mention the star-studded early twentieth century, Xie Xiaodong was overshadowed by other singers within a few years.
In those years, songs such as "Eyelash Curl", "Fairy Tale" and "Nocturne" almost stole all the glory of the music industry, and Xie Xiaodong's fame declined rapidly.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the bars and companies he invested in also lost money year after year, so he couldn't take care of both ends at all, so after thinking twice, he decided to temporarily withdraw from the music scene.
Xie Xiaodong, who was depressed every day after losing his fame and popularity, coupled with the pressure of the company on the verge of bankruptcy, he was almost on the verge of collapse, and his wife Yu Jiaen accompanied him in this darkest moment.
Yu Jiaen helps him with the company and the bar day and night, while Yu Jiaen is also responsible for taking care of her young son and elderly parents, but she still bears so much pressure.
After years of hard work, Xie Xiaodong's company has developed very well, and it is rumored that the company's total assets have exceeded 100 million.
Until 2006, the 38-year-old Xie Xiaodong planned to make a comeback, participated in the "Dance Forest Conference" and won the championship.
But it didn't make any waves, because his former fans also began to run for life and had no time to pay attention to entertainment.
Write at the end
But so what? Xie Xiaodong has already experienced the peak of his life, and now his family is happy, his economic conditions are superior, and he has a good wife who supports him, what more can a husband ask for?
Now thinking back to the former Xie Xiaodong, I can't help but sigh: The years are unforgiving!
