Born in a poor family, Wang Xu has been deeply baptized by a difficult life since he was a child, but his love for music has never been extinguished. In the high school days full of youth and vitality, he was intoxicated by the charming singing voice of his idol Fei Xiang, and strengthened his determination to stand on the stage like an idol and achieve his music dream.
When his high school career came to an end, Wang Xu did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to continue his studies, left his books behind, packed his bags, and embarked on the long journey to become a troubadour alone.
Holding the worn-out guitar that has accompanied him through countless years, he is full of longing and looking forward to the day when he can shine on stage with his singing voice.
Diametrically opposed to Wang Xu, Li Gang has shown extreme indifference to his studies since he was a child, and the persuasion of his family has not changed his attitude. It wasn't until he joined the army that he accidentally sang solo on the playground and unexpectedly discovered the infinite charm of music.
The comrades-in-arms were deeply moved by his affectionate and moving singing, and applauded and applauded him, and since then, music has planted a seed of longing in Li Gang's heart.
After three years of military career, Li Gang resolutely decided to leave the army and began the arduous process of pursuing his music dream. He stepped into the hustle and bustle of the city, playing the guitar in the underground passages, as a way to realize his self-worth and express his inner pursuit.
Despite the twists and turns of the road in the past, Wang Xu and Li Gang both have an incomparable love for music. They wander around the strange city of Beijing, making a living as a singer, but deep down they are always burning with a fervent hope for the future, hoping that one day their singing will be heard by the world.
In 2000, Wang Xu, who had a dream of music, came to Beijing, a city full of opportunities and challenges, and at this time he was facing great pressure to survive. In order to make ends meet, he had to lay down his dignity and carry heavy bricks on construction sites or sell cheap small goods on the streets.
However, no matter how difficult life is, Wang Xu has always adhered to the persistent pursuit of music. In his spare time, he would always take out the worn-out guitar that had accompanied him for many years and go to the underground passage to sing those seemingly plain but soulful songs.
At first, most passers-by in a hurry did not notice the busker who was singing hard. However, Wang Xu's magnetic and sincere and touching voice still touched the hearts of many people after all.
Some people will stop for a moment to appreciate the beauty, and some people will even hesitate for a moment, and finally decide to "pay" out of their pockets to show their support for this hard-working musician.
It was by chance that a friend introduced Wang Xu to Li Gang. After a few glasses of spirits, the two people's love for music opened the door to a seamless dialogue, quickly narrowing the distance between them.
Catalyzed by alcohol, Wang Xu and Li Gang looked at each other and smiled, and sang Wang Feng's classic "In the Spring" loudly into their mobile phones. This vibrant song aptly depicts their unwavering pursuit of their musical dreams, and their brilliant performance undoubtedly shows the deepest desire of their hearts.
However, who would have expected that this video was inadvertently filmed by one of the friends and quickly became popular on the Internet, causing enthusiastic attention and strong resonance among the majority of netizens.
People were touched by these two "street performers" and were deeply impressed by their innocent love for music.
In this way, the combination of Rising Sun Masculine came into being. In order to make ends meet, they began to perform at subway stations and parks. Soon after, the duo's performance attracted many audiences to stop and watch, and many fans even took the initiative to ask for a group photo.
For a time, this pair of originally unknown "subway singers" were like rising stars, which moved countless people. And the song "In the Spring" has become an important turning point on the road of the rising sun's masculine life.
In fact, the lyrics and melody of the song "In the Spring", which made the rising sun famous overnight, were written by Wang Feng himself. When Wang Feng composed this masterpiece full of vitality, he failed to receive the praise and recognition he deserved.
However, the passionate cover rendition of the masculine of the rising sun has succeeded in drawing more people's attention to the beautiful melody and touching lyrics of this song. Netizens were attracted by their natural singing, and then rediscovered and appreciated the intoxicating charm of "In the Spring".
When Mr. Wang Feng saw that his former works were rejuvenated through this pair of grassroots singers, he was naturally overjoyed. However, as a professional musician, he is also well aware of the importance of copyright issues.
Therefore, Wang Feng did not choose to be blindly tolerant and permissive.
At first, Mr. Wang Feng warmly invited two outstanding musicians, Rising Sun and Yang Gang, to participate in his concert, looking forward to this opportunity to share the moment of honor with them. However, it is regrettable that Mr. Wang Feng soon discovered that although the Rising Sun and Yang Gang were the "subway singers" of the past, they had weak links in the concept of copyright, and even faintly revealed their intention to take possession of the song "In the Spring" without authorization.
In order to defend the rights and interests of musicians, Mr. Wang Feng resolutely decided to use legal means to officially send a lawyer's letter to the Rising Sun Masculine Group on the grounds of defamation and infringement, solemnly demanding that they immediately stop covering "In the Spring" on all occasions.
This decisive move immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction and attacks on Mr. Wang Feng by the majority of netizens in the online world. Many loyal fans of Rising Sun Masculine have come forward and sharply criticized Mr. Wang Feng for being too narrow and stingy in giving others the opportunity to become famous, as if he was deliberately suppressing those stars from the bottom.
However, the fact is that Mr. Wang Feng is only trying to protect his legitimate rights and interests, and as an original creator, he deserves absolute control over the copyright of the work.
In the face of such huge pressure from public opinion, the Rising Sun Masculine Group has exposed a series of jaw-dropping scandals and negative news one after another.
The first is Li Gang, who honked his horn and spoke viciously to a grandmother with limited mobility while driving, and his arrogant and rude behavior undoubtedly revealed his arrogant and arrogant nature.
Soon after, he had violent clashes with others on the streets, and physical altercations were inevitable.
As a grassroots star, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly ruining his future with his own hands. And Wang Xu's performance as the lead singer was also disappointing.
Not only did he cry about his "innocence" in a lawyer's letter sent by Mr. Wang Feng in a certain talk show, but more excessively, he deliberately created a pretentious "image of a migrant worker" during the live broadcast, trying to win the audience's sympathy in this way.
When they saw the once beloved "subway singer" showing such a greasy side, the majority of netizens couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it turned out that we were the victims who were deceived by these two speculators.
Initially, Rising Sun Yang quickly became popular with the song "In the Spring" and won widespread sympathy and support from the public. People are full of sympathy for these two grassroots artists, who are known as "subway singers", who believe that they have suffered injustice.
However, since Li Gang and Wang Xu have exposed scandals and bad reputations one after another, the public's image of these two originally "simple and innocent" singers has gradually changed. The majority of netizens began to deeply analyze the true face of this pair of former "simple singers": it turns out that they are just a group of opportunistic people, not the kind of artists who purely pursue music and art as people expect! .
Tracing back to the roots of their depravity, the main reason why the Rising Sun Masculine is in such a predicament is that they rely too much on the popular song "In the Spring". At first, they became famous overnight with their cover of Wang Feng's classic, but soon fell into the dilemma of not being able to release their own original composition.
As a result, they became more and more addicted to it, and could only cover "In the Spring" again and again, trying to maintain their popularity.
It is reported that during the period when they were just emerging from the scene, Rising Sun Yang Gang received a single performance remuneration of up to 200,000 yuan for covering "In the Spring". This huge fortune undoubtedly further exacerbated their dependence on the song.
After all, it's an irresistible temptation for anyone to reap the rewards without having to invest too much in their creations.
As a result, Sunrise Yang just began to be self-contained and fell into a serious self-restraint mentality. They mistakenly think that as long as they continue to cover "In the Spring", they can maintain the status quo for a long time without having to put in more effort.
However, opportunities are always fleeting, and when they lose this trump card, the Rising Sun Masculine almost falls into a state of collapse.
In fact, except for "In the Spring", which is popular all over the country, they do not have any original masterpieces that can move people's hearts. Lacking a deep resonance with their fans, they were unable to display their talents and could only watch themselves gradually decline.
In this way, the rising sun just slipped sharply from the peak of popularity and returned to the original point overnight.
In the early stage when Wang Feng issued a lawyer's letter prohibiting Rising Sun Yang from continuing to cover "In the Spring", most netizens chose to stand on their side and criticize Mr. Wang Feng's behavior.
It is generally believed that Wang Feng's move was out of narrow personal feelings and selfish desires, deliberately suppressing the grassroots stars who make a living from singing. After all, it is the fiery cover of the rising sun that makes this classic old song rejuvenate again.
Wang Feng should have treated this matter with a tolerant heart, gladly accepted it and let it go.
In this context, cyberspace has become a stage for intensive crusade and harsh criticism of Wang Feng, and people express their uncertainty about Wang Feng's resolute move, and hope that musicians can uphold the spirit of openness and tolerance.
However, just as the storm condemning Wang Feng intensified, the Rising Sun Masculine Group itself exposed a series of shocking scandals one after another.
First of all, Li Gang's bad behavior towards an elderly grandmother is made public, revealing his arrogance and rudeness deep down. Immediately afterwards, Wang Xu regarded himself as an innocent person in an interview, and even deliberately created the image of a "migrant worker" during the live broadcast, in a vain attempt to win public sympathy.
These actions have undoubtedly aroused strong indignation among the majority of netizens. People gradually realized that Wang Feng was not a reckless person, but was sticking to his principles and defending his legitimate rights and interests as a matter of course.
On the other hand, they are the representatives of those who are short-sighted and opportunistic, and they are pretentious on the surface, but in fact they want to use compassion to gain more attention, which is really immoral.
Therefore, netizens' love for these two subway singers who were once known as "simple and cute" instantly came to naught. Some people are full of emotion, if they can be down-to-earth and work the road of music, maybe they may usher in a new dawn.
However, they indulged in a life of luxury, burying all opportunities with their own hands.
The reason why the Rising Sun Masculine will fall so quickly is that we can draw three profound lessons from their experiences:
First of all, as an artist, if you only rely on covering other people's works and lack your own innovation ability, it will be difficult to go on the road of art for a long time.
The Rising Sun is a stark example of how they relied too much on the song "In the Spring" but failed to lay a solid foundation for their music career.
Once they lose this trump card, they are like "grabbing the white blade empty-handed".
Secondly, if you indulge in luxury after becoming famous, be satisfied with the status quo and stop working hard, you will inevitably fall into trouble. It can be seen from their many ugly incidents that the Rising Sun Masculine does not pay enough attention to its own image and professional ethics.
If you get carried away and focus only on the immediate benefits without considering the long-term development, you will undoubtedly miss the opportunity.
Thirdly, we must emphasize that no artist should rely too much on a certain work or a particular artistic style, let alone infringe on the rights and interests of others in any form!
Music and art are supposed to be the crystallization of independent thinking and innovation, and are by no means tools to serve personal desires.
The root cause of the controversy about the Rising Sun Masculine is that there is a serious abuse in the use of the fruits of other people's labor. The wisdom of others should never be seen as your capital for personal gain.
On the whole, the fundamental reason why the Rising Sun Masculine has fallen from the peak of popularity is their greed, short-sightedness, and lack of team spirit. Such a lesson is undoubtedly a negative example that deserves our deep consideration and admonition.
Only with a sense of reverence for art and a down-to-earth commitment to creation can we achieve long-term development in the true sense.
