Yang Kun sat quietly in the dimly lit live broadcast room, his eyes like torches, staring directly at the mobile phone screen. In this small space, the only light is the faint blue light from the phone screen.
He mechanically repeated the background settings he had already knew, reciting monotonous lines, as if all this had become a habit and a destiny in his life.
The comment area at the bottom of the live broadcast room is like a storm, full of ridicule and sarcasm, such as "Daolang, Daolang, Daolang......" and "I am a loyal fan of Andy Lau, and I firmly support Andy Lau."
These words were like sharp arrows, piercing his heart deeply, ruthlessly revealing his former pride and conceit, and laughing at his tragic fate of suddenly falling from the peak of his life to the bottom.
Yang Kun clenched the mobile phone in his hand, and his fingers were highlighted by excessive force. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and chose to turn a blind eye. At this moment, his eyes were dim, as if he had comprehended something, but he was powerless to change reality.
However, not long ago, Yang Kun was a bright superstar in the Chinese music scene, known as "talented". Coming from a poor background, he went from a poor family of herdsmen in Inner Mongolia to the path of music, and went through hardships but full of legends.
Yang Kun has shown extraordinary musical talent since he was a child. On the vast prairie, he often sang those simple and moving ballads alone, soothing the loneliness in his heart with his singing.
Despite his poor family, after graduating from junior high school, he had to give up his studies and devote himself to working as a small electrician to make ends meet. However, the musical dream has always burned in his heart.
In 1989, a small talent competition brought the first major turning point in Yang Kun's life. He decided to participate in the competition on the fly, but the result was remarkable, and his deep, magnetic voice deeply impressed the judges and the audience, and finally succeeded in winning the championship.
Since then, Yang Kun has embarked on the road of no return to the palace of art.
In order to make ends meet, he was forced to sing in nightclubs and bars, trying to earn every possible extra income. Despite the extreme difficulties of life, he never gave up his dream of music, and always devoted himself to the practice of music diligently.
At the moment when Yang Kun was almost on the verge of despairing to give up his dream, a very picturesque opportunity came to him! In 2002, in a dilapidated public toilet, he created the shocking classic "It Doesn't Matter".
Although the song was initially snubbed by many well-known record companies, Yang Kun was not discouraged by it.
The birth of "It Doesn't Matter" made Yang Kun instantly a well-known singer and was known as an inspirational "late bloomer" legend. With its unpretentious and straightforward melody, this song vividly depicts the various hardships in Yang Kun's bumpy life.
It was this sincere and touching emotion that deeply touched the hearts of countless listeners, making them find resonance in Yang Kun's hoarse and magnetic voice.
However, the cost of fame is also enormous. When the spotlight focused on him, those dark corners of Yang Kun's humanity began to gradually reveal. Arrogance, conceit, and empty eyes, these are the true portrayals of him who was born in poverty after "Invincible".
First of all, Yang Kun's attitude towards his mentor Chen Lin is incomprehensible. It was when Yang Kun was penniless and ran into walls everywhere that Chen Lin extended a helping hand to him, helped him rekindle hope, and finally launched the fate-changing album "It Doesn't Matter".
However, in an interview, Yang Kun turned a blind eye to the senior sister who gave him the grace of acquaintance, and vaguely said that they were "just ordinary friends and did not have too many in-depth interactions".
As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly to abandon Chen Lin's great kindness to him back then. What's even more distressing is that when Chen Lin passed away with hatred, Yang Kun pretended to be sad on the variety show and pretended to "express gratitude", but he left the teacher's true good intentions behind, showing his hypocritical and pretentious side.
In addition, Yang Kun's attitude towards his predecessors in the same industry is also jaw-dropping. Facing the hot singer Daolang at the time, he unabashedly mocked: "Does he really understand music? "A pretentious gesture.
What's even more ironic is that when asked about the gap between him and the king-level singer Andy Lau, Yang Kun unabashedly said: "Objectively speaking, Andy Lau may not be able to be called a singer in the real sense, and if you strictly distinguish it, there is no comparison between the two of us."
Such a grassroots person who thinks very highly of himself, Yang Kun is so arrogant! In his eyes, whether it was a peer who was once all the rage, or a predecessor with a respected status, he was ruthlessly belittled.
This kind of empty-eyed posture is really hilarious.
What's even more infuriating is that Yang Kun refuses to let go of even those obscure independent musicians. Once, in the live broadcast room, he angrily scolded the audience who were keen on the popular song "Thunder" to leave the live broadcast room, and without any scruples, he slandered the song as "simply unbearable noise".
Obviously, he had long forgotten the bitter journey of his difficult rise from a small bar.
The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the mad will not be able to become great. Yang Kun's arrogance is undoubtedly the bane of his future depravity. As early as 2004, he began to make wild statements to the outside world.
With the continuous escalation of controversy, Yang Kun's music career has declined rapidly from the peak, and his reputation has also deteriorated. What hit him hard was undoubtedly his song "The End of Love".
This song was originally written by Yang Kun in memory of his ex-girlfriend Bai Xue, to commemorate the joys and sorrows of the end of the song. However, just as Yang Kun sang the song affectionately on the stage of the talent show, a jaw-dropping inside story was captured by the paparazzi and made public - the photo revealed Yang Kun having an intimate conversation with a beautiful woman with a hot body, and the two were grinding their ears and temples, raising their glasses and smiling.
This vivid image contrasts with the image of him on stage fondly reminiscing about his beloved, and makes the audience feel fooled. Some viewers directly accused Yang Kun of "hype", "acting", and "disguise", using this song to earn sympathy, but showing extreme disrespect to the late Bai Xue.
What's even more indignant is that Yang Kun's attitude towards another benefactor, Chen Lin, is also shocking. It was Chen Lin, based on her appreciation of Yang Kun's talent, who reached out to him at his most difficult moment, signed him to her husband's record company, and helped him create the album "It Doesn't Matter".
If it weren't for Chen Lin's help, the masterpiece that was born in the toilet would probably not be able to see the light of day. However, Yang Kun turned a blind eye to the kindness given by his former teacher, and openly treated Chen Lin perfunctorily in public, only commenting lightly, "Just ordinary friends, and there is not much intersection".
What is jaw-dropping is that when Chen Lin unfortunately passed away due to personal reasons in 2009, Yang Kun changed his attitude in an instant, pretentiously in front of the camera in the show, and wrote the so-called "words of gratitude" for his mentor.
This gesture of "pretending to be affectionate" was once again recognized by everyone, and Yang Kun was once again ridiculed by the public. His hypocrisy and indifference were discerned, and attitudes towards him were decisively reversed.
As a public figure, the creation and performance of the work is of course crucial. However, a person's personality cultivation and the way he deals with others can often reflect his true inner world more profoundly.
There was a time when Yang Kun won the love of the audience with his sincere and simple music works; However, when he became arrogant and conceited and began to put on a show against his teacher and peers, this popularity also declined sharply.
