1. Suddenly rising and falling rapidly, why did Gao Xiaosong become the object of ridicule from all over the country?
Thinking back to those glorious days, there was a person with an outstanding talent for writing, and when he first entered the music world, he became popular all over the country with the songs "You at the Same Table" and "Youth Without Regrets", and he was Gao Xiaosong! The program "Xiaosong Strange Talk" hosted by him was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making his name spread to thousands of households and becoming a "cultural giant" who attracted everyone's attention.
At that time, Gao Xiaosong, with his iconic long hair and holding a folding fan, talked eloquently in the show, showing the demeanor of a literati. He sometimes told strange stories, sometimes quoted scriptures, and won warm applause from the audience.
However, who would have thought that this former cultural superstar would be reduced to such a field today?
Now, Gao Xiaosong has become the object of everyone's spit. Everywhere he went, he could hear people's invective and accusations. In a recent live broadcast, he only showed a face, but it immediately aroused a strong reaction from netizens.
All kinds of vicious words are pouring in like a tide, such as "scumbag" and "gibberish", etc., which are simply verbal criticism and extraordinary popularity.
In the face of such fierce criticism, Gao Xiaosong could not escape the blame. As a once-revered cultural celebrity, he should not have been so flippant with his words and actions. However, the good times did not last long, and once he lost the information advantage he once had, his true face was completely revealed.
What is the reason for the degeneration of this former "cultural giant"? Let's rewind time and start from Gao Xiaosong's background.
Second, Gao Xiaosong was born in a famous family, and it should have been smooth sailing
Gao Xiaosong's background can be called superior, and his family has enjoyed a reputation in academic circles for generations. My grandfather was a scholar of high status and served as the president of Shenzhen University.
His father inherited the glory of his ancestors and became a well-known professor at Tsinghua University.
Growing up in such a family environment full of bookish atmosphere, Gao Xiaosong has enjoyed the best quality educational resources since he was a child. In the college entrance examination, he was successfully admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent results, and he should have successfully entered the palace of scholars.
Unfortunately, Gao Xiaosong, who studied science and engineering at Tsinghua University after entering the university, failed to develop any strong interest in the boring and dull courses, but was full of infinite desire for literary and artistic creation.
He firmly chose to become a "literary youth", and even ignored the strong opposition of his relatives at home, and resolutely decided to bid farewell to the bustling capital Beijing, go south to the beautiful Tianjin, and bravely devote himself to the profession of a wandering singer.
3. He was a smash hit with his writing and hosting talents
Just when Gao Xiaosong was feeling lost and confused about the future path, a popular song completely subverted the trajectory of his life. This song is "You at the Table".
At first, this song was composed by Gao Xiaosong for his first girlfriend, to express his deep passion. However, due to the limitations of his own voice conditions, it was difficult to perfectly interpret the melody of this song, so he had to transfer the song to his best friend Lao Wolf for a meager copyright fee of 800 yuan.
Unexpectedly, after the wonderful interpretation of the old wolf, this song became an instant hit, and in the 90s of the last century, it brought an amazing income of up to 8 million to the old wolf, and successfully appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala that attracted the attention of the people of the whole country.
Recalling that his work has created such a wealth for others, Gao Xiaosong can't help but feel a little jealous in a later interview.
Although Gao Xiaosong himself did not directly benefit from it, this song still made his name widely known and laid a solid foundation for his future development in the entertainment industry.
With the advantage of his family background, Gao Xiaosong was successfully admitted to Beijing Film Academy to continue his studies after dropping out, and quickly joined the film and television industry after graduation, shooting a number of highly acclaimed film and television works, and becoming a veritable amphibious star in the film and television music industry.
However, the talented artist still seems to be dissatisfied with his career achievements. So, he decided to create a talk show "Xiao Song's Strange Talk" hosted by himself, hoping to show his unique charm as a "cultural person".
In the show, he always has long flowing hair like a literary youth, holds a folding fan, and talks eloquently, presenting the audience with a picture of a literati and a gentleman.
Fourth, he is ambitious and his sharp rhetoric arouses public disgust
However, just when "Xiao Song's Strange Talk" once swept the country, as the ratings of the show gradually declined, Gao Xiaosong's seemingly profound cultural coat began to fade gradually.
In order to continue to maintain the attention of the audience, he frequently publishes various bizarre and bizarre stories in the program, and even when it comes to the field of national history and Chinese studies, he also distorts and misunderstands them a lot.
What is most infuriating is that he went so far as to openly accuse Zheng Chenggong, a famous anti-Japanese general on the mainland, as a "Japanese coward!" As a native of Fujian, Zheng Chenggong was not only a national hero of the Ming Dynasty, but also set an incomparably glorious example for our Chinese people.
What's even more ironic is that Gao Xiaosong actually praised Japan. Boasting that the Japanese people have extraordinary "national quality" even hints that they can clean the venue spotlessly after holding a concert of 10,000 people, without any garbage left.
He even strongly recommended Japan's shrines as a tourist attraction worth visiting, as if he had completely forgotten that those shrines were dedicated to Japanese war criminals who committed heinous crimes during World War II.
Gao Xiaosong also showed full affection for India, a mysterious country he had never set foot in, claiming that life there was "prosperous and rich" and that "the night was never closed".
However, according to authoritative statistics, the crime rate in Indian society is among the highest in the world, and the human rights situation and social contradictions have always been controversial, especially the status of low-caste people and women.
Gao Xiaosong's absurd behavior of being so close to the United States and Japan and maliciously belittling and smearing his motherland has long accumulated endless dissatisfaction and revulsion in the hearts of the vast number of Chinese people.
Coupled with the sharp decline in the quality of his programs, the magic weapon of "poor information" that he was once proud of has also lost its original magic, and "Xiaosong Strange Talk" was inevitably stopped in the end.
5. There are also many flaws in private morality
Although Gao Xiaosong's career has fallen into a trough, he also has a bad record in terms of personal morality. This seemingly polite "cultural person" on the surface actually reveals the bad habits of abusive and ruthless in his emotional life.
Looking back on Gao Xiaosong's youth, he once fell in love with a talented female singer. The relationship between the two was once like glue, and Gao Xiaosong even personally composed an affectionate song for his beloved to express the fiery love in his heart.
However, just as the relationship between the two gradually entered a stable stage and was about to join hands in the marriage hall, Gao Xiaosong suddenly turned his face ruthlessly and unilaterally announced the cancellation of the marriage contract with his first girlfriend.
In that emotional entanglement back then, the woman had done her best to almost end her life in an extreme way to save this love that was destined to come to an end. However, despite her heart-wrenching plea, she still failed to impress Gao Xiaosong, who had completely lost interest in this relationship.
In the end, this relationship ended in helplessness and pain.
What's even more shocking is that during the recording of a variety show, Gao Xiaosong unexpectedly met a young model girl who was nearly 30 years different from him.
Relying on those old but effective techniques of holding sisters, Gao Xiaosong, who is known as a "literati", successfully attracted this youthful girl to his side, and the two spent a good time together.
However, when the girl gave birth to a lovely baby for Gao Xiaosong, Gao Xiaosong, as a new father, ruthlessly left her pregnant behind under the pretext of "influencing creation" and disappeared without a trace.
Gao Xiaosong's treacherous and drifting behavior again and again can't help but make people question whether he really has such human emotions as feelings. Whether in his career or in love, he has always pursued short-term pleasure and profit, and has never really understood what it means to be responsible.
"I saw you prosper, I watched you feast, I watched your edifice collapse. This old proverb is undoubtedly appropriate to describe Gao Xiaosong's life.
From the unknown singer at the beginning, to the superstar who became famous with classic songs such as "You at the Same Table", from hosting the talk show "Xiaosong Strange Talk" to becoming a "cultural celebrity" in everyone's mind, to now becoming the object of thousands of people, Gao Xiaosong's life journey can be described as magnificent and contrasting.
However, all these changes are not accidental, but the result of Gao Xiaosong's own planning. Once he lost the magic weapon of "information gap" that he once relied on for a living, his true face was completely exposed, and his controversial words and deeds caused him to suffer countless accusations and criticisms, and it has to be said that this is the result of his own blame and self-inflicted suffering.
