Looking back more than 20 years ago, Sun Yaowei is leading the stage with his most glorious moments and becoming the focus of many fans. He was once honored with the reputation of "Hong Kong's Four Little Kings", and his handsome and sunny image and beautiful singing voice made him quickly rise to the top of the pop music scene!
Sun Yaowei in that era was really the focus of unparalleled. His albums have sold phenomenal and reached record highs, winning fans in Hong Kong and across Asia.
In order to obtain greater commercial benefits, the record company mercilessly arranged heavy work and commercial performances for Sun Yaowei, which made him have to be busy day and night, exhausted.
On one occasion, he contracted acute hepatitis due to overwork, and after several days in the hospital, he had to immediately devote himself to the promotion of the new album.
In order to shape Sun Yaowei into an international superstar, the record company decided to let him go to Japan for development. They carefully planned the famous Japanese female singer Noriko Sakai and Sun Yaowei to sing the song "A Thousand Miles of Fate".
The song was a huge success upon its release, and there was even an ambiguous emotional entanglement between the two, with Noriko Sakai even offering to visit Sun Yaowei's parents.
However, at this critical juncture, in 1998, Sun Yaowei had already made a name for himself in Japan, and the record company planned to hold an unprecedented concert for him. However, the record company's decision was too hasty, and during the preparations for the concert, they continued to arrange for Sun Yaowei to participate in various high-intensity promotional activities, resulting in Sun Yaowei being physically and mentally exhausted and unable to devote himself to this vital performance.
In the face of this doomed concert, Sun Yaowei sincerely proposed to the company to postpone it, hoping to get sufficient time to prepare. However, to his surprise, after learning of the incident, the senior leaders of the Japanese company not only resolutely rejected his request, but also used rude language, personally attacking and abusing Sun Yaowei and his mother.
This blatant insult undoubtedly deeply hurt Sun Yaowei's self-esteem. He would rather bear huge financial losses and reputational blows than force himself into battle under such humiliation.
With a passion for his music career, he made the heroic decision not to perform in Japan without hesitation! Resolutely and resolutely bid farewell to the bustling city of Tokyo, and returned to the embrace of the motherland Hong Kong without hesitation.
To trace the origins of Sun Yaowei's musical path, we must turn back the clock to his childlike childhood. Born in Hong Kong into a privileged family, Sun Yaowei has shown extraordinary wisdom and talent since he was a child.
Not only did he excel academically, he was a role model for "someone else's child" in school, but he was also a thoughtful brother who took the initiative to take care of his sister.
After entering the Chinese University of Hong Kong, this sunny and handsome student has become the focus of attention on campus. Not only did he maintain excellent academic performance, but he also made a name for himself on campus because of his moving singing voice.
In his junior year, Sun Yaowei participated in a campus song writing competition. Although he only appeared on stage as a singer, he unexpectedly won the crown of the competition. This opportunity was like a spark, which completely ignited his love and pursuit of music.
During the summer vacation, he decisively formed the band "Firefly" with his friends and won a blockbuster award at the "Youth Star International Music Competition". This outstanding achievement made Sun Yaowei instantly a popular figure in the competition of major record companies.
Soon after, Sun Yaowei signed his first professional contract, officially starting the journey to stardom. In 1992, before completing his junior year, he released his first solo album "It's Good to Know You", in which the lonely but innocent youthful emotions made Sun Yaowei famous overnight.
This was followed by a second album, "I Know You're Waiting for Me", with its smooth melodies and powerful lyrics, which hit the heart and saw sales soar to a staggering number of one million copies.
In this way, Sun Yaowei quickly rose to become a popular idol and was known as one of the "Four Little Kings of Hong Kong", and his career also reached its peak.
However, just as his career was in full swing, the excessive commercialization of the record company laid the groundwork for future setbacks.
Just as Sun Yaowei's career was thriving and reaching the peak of his life, he also fell into the predicament of many difficulties and pressures at the same time. On the one hand, in the process of pursuing greater commercial profits, the record company he signed with frequently made excessive operations and work arrangements for him, which caused him to bear a huge physical and psychological burden and pain.
Once, due to long hours of high-intensity work and lack of sleep, Sun Yaowei unfortunately suffered from acute hepatitis. After several days of hospitalization, he still had to immediately devote himself to the promotion of the new album and continue to fight.
On the other hand, Sun Yaowei's acting career had a serious impact on his studies. He was unable to take important exams on time on time for work reasons on many occasions. Thankfully, at the critical moment of graduation, he made a major breakthrough with his unique creative design and successfully completed his final university studies, allowing him to devote himself wholeheartedly to the music career he loved.
In the following years, Sun Yaowei was as energetic as a stimulant, and successively released "Love Story Part I", "Road to Walk Bravely", "Love Fire" and other widely acclaimed and gratifying albums.
With his outstanding performance, he won the Gold Award for Metro Radio's Hot Male Newcomer, the Silver Award for the Most Promising Male Newcomer of Radio Hong Kong, and the Silver Award for Commercial Radio's Male Strength in the Music Arena.
However, at this peak, the record company decided to let him go to Japan in order to make him an international superstar. They specially arranged for the famous local female singer Noriko Sakai and Sun Yaowei to record the song "A Thousand Miles of Fate", which caused a subtle emotional entanglement between the two.
Noriko Sakai even offered to visit Sun Yaowei's family.
Everything seems to be moving towards a more brilliant future, but no one expected that it was the irrational behavior of the record company at this time that laid a hidden danger for the future trough.
In 1998, Sun Yaowei had already made a name for himself in Japan, and the record company carefully planned an unprecedented concert for him, aiming to help him open up the local market and further increase his popularity.
However, in the run-up to this crucial show, the company's decision was too rash and hasty.
In order to meet the construction deadline, the company arranged the arduous task of more than ten songs for Sun Yaowei, but only provided a short three-day preparation period! Faced with such heavy pressure, Sun Yaowei is indeed overwhelmed.
He is well aware that if you are in a hurry and too hasty, you are very likely to make a mistake at a crucial moment, which can lead to the failure of this grand performance.
Out of an extremely responsible attitude towards his career and his persistent pursuit of the art of music, Sun Yaowei sincerely suggested to the company that the performance date could be postponed appropriately so that he could have sufficient time to prepare.
However, when his request was transmitted to the top management of the Japanese company, it was rudely rejected and personally attacked.
The company's management not only lacked respect for Sun Yaowei, but even spoke ill of him, abusing him and his mother in person. This kind of public insult undoubtedly seriously hurt Sun Yaowei's dignity.
A deep sense of powerlessness and grievance surged in his heart.
Sun Yaowei knows that he has devoted countless years of hard work, how can he allow such a narrow and unmotivated person to trample on it? He has always been determined to pursue the path of musical art, but the other party only cares about the gains and losses, and does not hesitate to take risks.
After in-depth thinking, Sun Yaowei finally decided that even if he had to take the risk of being banned, he would never reluctantly perform on stage in such a humiliating situation. With a passion for his music career, he resolutely turned down the doomed Japanese performance.
Immediately afterward, Sun Yaowei angrily left Tokyo, terminated all activities in Japan, and returned to Hong Kong alone.
This difficult choice undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to his career. The concert failed to take place as planned, and the record company suffered huge financial losses, and he became an "outcast" in the entertainment industry and was ruthlessly banned.
Overnight, Sun Yaowei fell from the once dazzling peak to the trough of his life in an instant.
Once blocked, Sun Yaowei fell from an idol superstar to the bottom, and the record company seemed to cut off his life, and no one was willing to cooperate with him anymore. He sponsored his sister to study in the UK, when she had just been admitted to the London School of Economics, a top university, and the tuition fees were extremely high, with as much as HK$100,000 to HK$200,000 per month.
The heavy pressure once put Sun Yaowei on the verge of bankruptcy. In order to maintain basic living needs, he had to run to various bars and bars, and at the same time, he had to squeeze in time to work hard in major TV drama crews.
During that time, he lived an extremely difficult and difficult life, which made people sigh, but what was worse was that during this low period, Sun Yaowei fell into the quagmire of alcoholism because of his inner confusion, and once fell to the bottom of life.
In the face of the idol who once radiated radiance all around, but now he has given up on himself and even fallen to this, the hearts of many fans are overflowing with endless sadness. Fortunately, at this most difficult moment, director Feng Kaihui, who relied on Dong Zhixi's same sharp vision, stepped forward and decisively invited Sun Yaowei, who was in a low period, to join the crew of "Princess Huaiyu" directed by her with her excellent insight.
With his superb acting skills, Sun Yaowei successfully created an unforgettable image of Emperor Kangxi, won warm praise from the audience, and re-injected vitality into his acting career.
Since then, Sun Yaowei's film and television career has gradually stepped onto the right track, and he has successively participated in a series of popular classic dramas such as "Oolong Clearance", "Lu Xiaofeng's Phoenix Dance for Nine Days", "New Chu Liuxiang", etc., once again showing a dazzling light and attracting the attention of countless people.
When people see his familiar figure, they can't help but recall his glorious days in the music world, as well as those moving melodies that have touched people's hearts and aroused the emotional resonance of countless people.
At the same time as the gradual rise of the film and television industry, Sun Yaowei's love life has also ushered in a new dawn, he and Zheng Jiayu, Ying Caier have had all kinds of scandals, although these romances failed to come to the end, but in the end he and Chen Meishi tied the knot, after a tortuous and bumpy love run, they finally joined hands into the holy hall of marriage.
Life is like an unpredictable picture, after years of troughs and difficulties, Sun Yaowei finally found his dream, regained his spirits, and embarked on a journey to pursue new goals.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Sun Yaowei is over half a hundred years old, looking back on his ups and downs in life, he seems to no longer pursue the glory of the past excessively, but has learned to find the true meaning of happiness in ordinary life.
In recent years, as his acting career has gradually entered a trough, Sun Yaowei has firmly changed and bravely walked towards the road of online anchors. His debut live broadcast was amazing, with a total of more than 3.5 million online views, fully demonstrating his important position in the hearts of the masses, and his charm was not inferior to that of his youth.
At the moment when many viewers witnessed Sun Yaowei's demeanor, their hearts couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the classic golden songs he had sung, as well as the deep-rooted character images he created on the screen, and they left messages to express their support and love for him.
In the face of such an enthusiastic response, Sun Yaowei himself was deeply surprised and moved. As a veteran idol in the 90s, he never expected that he would still be able to have such a strong market appeal on the new track after the transformation.
This deep love from the people is undoubtedly the highest praise for his efforts in half his life.
As a result, Sun Yaowei successfully realized his self-transformation in this Internet era, became a high-profile Internet celebrity anchor, and has always maintained high popularity and excellent performance.
Whenever he is in the live broadcast room, he can always use his skillful singing voice to present a moving song interpretation for the audience, conveying the joy and healing brought by music.
In 2018, Sun Yaowei, who had been away from the music scene for many years, once again regained his past glory and successfully held a solo concert of far-reaching significance. This is the first time he has appeared on stage after 25 years, interacting with fans intimately.
When he performed the song "I Know You're Waiting for Me" affectionately, the fans at the scene followed his familiar voice, and at the moment when they burst into tears, everyone seemed to have returned to that glorious era.
Today's Sun Yaowei, although his popularity in the entertainment industry can no longer be compared with his peak, he has become a well-known Internet celebrity with millions of loyal fans. He still loves singing, and every time he broadcasts live, he will present a warm performance to the audience with the fullest enthusiasm and dedication.
Some people may think that his decline from a star-sddling idol star to an Internet celebrity anchor is actually a kind of regression and trough. However, Sun Yaowei himself did not care about this, because he always stuck to his musical dream and never really gave up his persistent pursuit of art.
After years of turbulence and brilliance, Sun Yaowei has surpassed his obsession with fame and fortune, and what he is pursuing is not only illusory glory, but also the satisfaction and happiness in his heart.
At this moment, he seems to be like a sunset flower that really blooms in the evening, swaying his light and charm on these ordinary days.
