sequence
The chance of winning the lottery and getting rich overnight is very slim, but the chance of becoming popular overnight in the entertainment industry is not uncommon.
Although some people come from the grassroots, with their talent and a little luck, they successfully get on the stage and shine quickly. They became smash hits and attracted much attention.
However, the entertainment industry is a highly competitive and cutthroat industry.
Behind the original glory, grassroots stars must face more challenges and tests.
Some people struggle to maintain sustained popularity and influence in a highly competitive market due to their lack of experience and resources.
They may gradually be forgotten, from smash hit stars to ordinary passers-by.
The fate of grassroots stars is changeable, and there is often only a thin line between success and failure, glamour and ordinary.
Today, let's take a look at how those grassroots stars in the past are doing after the tide recedes!
Liu Dacheng
In 2010, Liu Dacheng became the champion of "Avenue of Stars" as a grassroots person.
On the stage of the awards, he made a promise to his wife, vowing that he would be by her side for the rest of his life, and he would never have two hearts.
Now that 14 years have passed, Liu Dacheng and his wife have been harmonious in these years, in addition to a happy family, he is also a matter of course in his career.
After winning the championship that year, the first thing Liu Dacheng did was to return to his hometown and hold a concert for his parents and fellow villagers.
Maybe the people in the village don't understand the significance of this championship for Liu Dacheng, who has drifted north for almost ten years for his dream, only that he is famous and rich, but Liu Dacheng still has not forgotten where he was born.
Since then, Liu Dacheng has also been fulfilling the promise he made on the stage.
As long as he goes out to participate in activities, he will definitely bring his wife with him.
Sometimes his wife is in the audience, and sometimes his wife becomes a guest on the show with him.
Moreover, after so many years, Liu Dacheng has hardly taken over the activities of commercial performances.
Most of his work is to participate in CCTV programs, or participate in some public welfare and agriculture-related activities.
Today, Liu Dacheng is working hard to create a better environment for local children to learn music.
Let children have the opportunity to master one more talent in the modern society, and in addition to academic performance, they can develop their interests and hobbies in many aspects.
Zhu Zhiwen
Brother Coat, whose real name is Zhu Zhiwen, gave everyone a deep impression because of his peculiar image and outstanding strength in a military coat, and later appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, so he was affectionately called "Brother Coat" by everyone.
Before becoming famous, Zhu Zhiwen was already famous in the village.
But not by singing, but because he was too poor, one of the poorest people in the whole village.
Zhu Zhiwen's father left this world when he was still an adult.
In those days, the collapse of the pillars of the family was tantamount to the destruction of a family.
Zhu Zhiwen, who was only 11 years old, had to give up the opportunity to go to school and start farming at home.
It wasn't until he was 29 years old that Zhu Zhiwen finally met someone who was willing to marry him, that is, Li Yuhua.
Li Yuhua did not dislike him for being poor, and also helped him bear the burden of the family together, and was a woman who came through the ups and downs with Zhu Zhiwen.
Once Zhu Zhiwen had a terrible toothache, and his family had no money to extract his teeth, so Li Yuhua cut his hair that he had kept for many years in exchange for money and gave it to Zhu Zhiwen to extract his teeth.
Although the lives of the two people are very poor, because both of them are working very hard, they never complain about each other, so there is a trace of satisfaction in this poverty.
In this ordinary life, singing is Zhu Zhiwen's only pleasure.
When I was a child, if I was just farming alone in the field, humming and farming, without saying a word, how boring it would be.
Therefore, Zhu Zhiwen likes to sing when he is working, and he has to howl twice when he is free.
Therefore, he also got a nickname called "Big Mouth Three", he has a big mouth and is the third in the family.
When he grew up, in addition to singing at home, Zhu Zhiwen would also go outside to participate in various singing competitions.
In 2011, Zhu Zhiwen changed his life through the program "I Am a Big Star".
The song "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" shocked everyone when he opened his mouth.
The majestic voice seems to have sung the bitterness of Zhu Zhiwen's life.
Zhu Zhiwen also won the championship of the audition with this song.
Since then, Zhu Zhiwen's life has ushered in a huge change, although he failed to win the annual championship of "Avenue of Stars", he also won the fifth place.
and appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the same year.
However, after Zhu Zhiwen became popular, these fame also brought him a lot of trouble.
Zhu Zhiwen is essentially a simple peasant, and those reputations are just the glamour and glamour that the outside world has put on him.
So after becoming famous, he still chose to return to live in the village. This led to many people who liked him coming to the door, some wanted to see him, some wanted to take a photo with him, and some begged him to teach singing.
Perhaps, the original intention of these people was not bad at the beginning. But after a long time, some people found that as long as it was about Zhu Zhiwen, they could make a lot of money, and they had crooked thoughts in their hearts.
Many people in the village borrowed money from Zhu Zhiwen and made IOUs, but after a few years, basically no one paid it back.
Zhu Zhiwen is like a cash cow in the village, not only the people in the village make money through him, but even the people who can't beat the eight poles from other places come to try to see if they can get a piece of the pie.
Now that it is 2024, Zhu Zhiwen often performs outside, making a lot of money for his family, and at the same time, he can hide from the cleanliness of the village.
However, the sons and daughters of his family did not want to make progress because of the money Zhu Zhiwen earned, and stayed at home to live their old age.
I don't know if Zhu Zhiwen is red, whether it is a good thing for him.
Straw Hat Sister
As a grassroots star who also came out of "Avenue of Stars", "Straw Hat Sister" Xu Guihua's life seems to be much better than Brother Dayi.
Unlike Brother Dayi, Xu Guihua moved out of the village after becoming famous.
Some people say that she has forgotten her roots, and she doesn't care about the people in the village when she has money.
But there is a lesson from the past of "Brother Coat", and everyone can understand the behavior of "Sister Straw Hat".
Compared with ordinary people, "Sister Straw Hat" is no different except that she is very talented in singing.
When you have money, you will naturally want to try things that you used to be only able to use through the screen.
Some people think that after the "straw hat sister" became rich, she floated away, and her life became luxurious.
In fact, the person who said this was just hating that it hadn't happened to him.
"Straw Hat Sister" is like a businessman, after becoming famous, she is working hard to spend money, and at the same time she is also trying to find a way to make money through this fame.
The short video became popular, so she made a short video.
The live broadcast became popular, and she started live broadcasting.
In her live broadcast room, in addition to her husband, there is also a small baby. That's her grandson.
The son of "Sister Straw Hat" is still studying, but he already has a partner and a child, and the two are not yet married, and the child has been carried by "Sister Straw Hat".
Anyway, "Sister Straw Hat" didn't do anything angry, and the money was spent in her own family, and her son had a partner and a child.
In the traditional concept, this is already a very happy family.
Pang Mailang
In 2015, a simple melody but extremely brainwashing divine comedy "My Skateboarding Shoes" made the name Pang Mailang popular all over the country.
But Pang Mailang did not seize this opportunity and turned himself over.
After Pang Mailang became popular, his agency wanted to continue to praise him, and it was undoubtedly the best choice if he could go on TV to increase Pang Mailang's exposure.
But Pang Meilang rejected this suggestion, he just wanted to take on commercial performances.
Because commercial performances can sing more songs, there are not many requirements.
After a long time, the name Pang Mailang slowly faded out of everyone's field of vision, and the brokerage company gave up on him.
When Pang Meilang's news appeared again, it was related to his illness.
Pang Mailang's agent told everyone that Pang Mailang was temporarily unable to continue working due to mental illness.
In this way, it is actually very easy to understand Pang Meilang.
Before he became famous, he already had some mental problems, but it had little impact on his normal life.
But it was a fatal blow to his music.
Because it is different from normal people's thinking, it is difficult for Pang Mailang's music to resonate with a wide range of listeners.
"My Skateboarding Shoes" is an unexpected work, and although it is brainwashing and catchy, it is completely inadequate.
Pommelon always lived in his own world, and he considered himself musically talented.
But that was just a conjecture of his own.
But how can we not be like that ourselves?
From the bottom of my heart, I think I am also a talented Puyu, but it has not yet been carved.
Compared to Pang Mailang, we just kept this idea in our hearts and didn't say it.
From another point of view, Pang Mailang looks a little pitiful and respectable.
He is just an ordinary person who pursues his musical dreams alone, but his unexpected popularity in the process makes him deeply involved in the confrontation of Vanity Fair.
Here, he can't even live with his true self.
That's why I had a later psychotic episode, and I was forcibly sent to the hospital for treatment.
If we encounter this kind of predicament of Pang Mailang, can we guarantee that our "Dao Heart" will not be broken?
Ordinary people are struggling to survive the overwhelming negative discourse on the Internet, and there have been too many examples of ending their lives because of this.
We don't need to be too flattering of Pang Mai Lang, nor do we need to deliberately belittle or exaggerate his inappropriate behavior.
I just hope that he can receive good treatment, live well, and create music that resonates with everyone.
epilogue
The status quo of smash hit grassroots stars is very different, and their twists of fortune are jaw-dropping.
From the beginning of the popularity of the country, to today's mental illness, live broadcast to make money, fortune passers-by, these changes are undoubtedly realistic warnings again and again.
Under the chase and pressure of the entertainment industry, they may have lost themselves, or they may have been carried away by money and fame.
The world is changing rapidly, and I hope that we can always keep our sanity and stick to our original intentions, so as not to lose our true worth and dignity without knowing it.
Finally, cherish what you have now and make your life path wider and wider.
