1. Once all the rage, now obscure, the experience of these out-of-fashion stars is embarrassing!
Time goes back to the past, Li Xiaojie, Zheng Yuan, Wang Lin, Pang Mailang, A Bao and Huang Hexiang, their names are as loud as thunder, and their music is like a trend sweeping all over the world, whether it is in KTV, or in the square dance scene, or on the mobile phone CRBT rankings, you can see their works occupy a place.
Those who love music, deeply intoxicated by the magnetic charm of their songs, are crazy to chase their style. However, at the pinnacle of their careers, some people choose to stagnate, while others unfortunately suffer the blow of fate and give up halfway, leaving only a string of illusory halos to gradually disappear in people's memories.
Now, who will think of the Northeast singer Li Xiaojie, who once became popular with a song "Friend's Wine"? The image of the wandering singer who once stepped out of the car and seemed to have broken free from the shackles of the world has become a distant memory.
Nowadays, he just occasionally shares his life dynamics on a short video platform.
and Zheng Yuan, the fisherman's son who once swept the number of ringtone downloads across the country with "10,000 Reasons", is now only a music professor at the Beijing Academy of Drama, living a dull teaching career.
In 2012, Wang Lin's "Can't Afford to Hurt" set off a craze in the CRBT market, and was included in the "dance music list" by square dance aunts, which is everywhere. However, now she has gradually faded out of the public eye due to health problems.
In 2013, Pang Mailang became popular overnight with the song "My Skateboarding Shoes", but his bad words and deeds also aroused the disgust of many netizens, and now no one cares about it.
In 2005, Po became famous by participating in variety shows, but due to the controversy caused by identity fraud, he can now only barely earn a meager income on the short video platform to make ends meet.
Huang Hexiang, who has been away from the music scene for nearly 30 years, is now trying to regain his former glory with the help of live broadcasts, but no one paid attention to it after the broadcast, and his ambition was unpaid, which is regrettable.
2. From an ordinary background, but with a dream of singing, after loneliness and legend, their music road is full of ups and downs and hardships!
For the vast majority of singers from ordinary backgrounds, it is undoubtedly the greatest luck in life to be able to stand on the stage and sing their own masterpieces. In order to realize their dreams, they went through countless lonely and legendary journeys, and finally grasped this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Like Li Xiaojie, a native of Northeast China, he originally studied Peking Opera because he was tired of the stylized plot mode of Peking Opera, and showed great love for music and art.
After years of silent work and bar singing career, he became famous with the infectious song "Good Girl", however, it is a pity that he failed to firmly grasp this rare opportunity, and finally returned to the ordinary and low-key life.
On the other hand, Zheng Yuan, a descendant of a fisherman's family, has a unique talent and deep love for music and art, influenced by the environment where his ancestors were fishermen for three generations and his grandfather was good at singing Cantonese opera.
At the age of 14, he successfully held his first concert, released his first album "The Interpretation of Love" at the age of 16, and then ran around singing to accumulate strength, which can be said to have gone through ups and downs until he was 21 years old, and he finally ushered in the stage of "10,000 Reasons".
As for Wang Lin, he has had extraordinary talent since he was a child, he was specially recruited by the army at the age of 9, and performed in the art troupe for 4 years. At the age of 13, he has become a skilled singer. Although she later signed a contract to make her debut and released many excellent works but failed to attract widespread attention, she finally became a blockbuster with the songs "QQ Love" and "Can't Hurt".
The representative works of the three singers have been widely popular across the country, and the songs have been sung very well, and the number of CRBT downloads/square dance popularity continues to rise. It is these masterpieces that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that make the names of these singers forever engraved in the hearts of the majority of listeners.
Although they may no longer be able to reproduce the glory of their peak, those classic songs still echo in people's ears today.
Li Xiaojie's "Friend's Wine" depicts the true meaning of friendship with its delicate brushstrokes, and is full of understanding and nostalgia for friendship between drinking and singing. The lyrics read, "A thousand words between two best friends are in a glass of turbid wine", which has moved countless men with good wine, good food and the company of friends, and has become a "symbol of friendship" between them.
This song has been widely sung in song halls, karaoke and other places, and has almost become a mandatory track for friends gatherings.
Zheng Yuan's "10,000 Reasons Why" has received a record 120 million CRBT downloads. Such an amazing download boom has not only earned him numerous honorary awards, but also won a keen following from countless loyal fans.
The song was all the rage and his fame was booming, but unfortunately, he suffered from an illness shortly after he came to prominence, and by the time he returned to the stage, the music scene had already been in turmoil.
For the classic song "Can't Hurt" sung by Wang Lin, it is undoubtedly the dominant existence in the CRBT industry, and its influence is so deep that even the aunts of the square dancers have included it in their "dance music list", and almost every street and alley can see the beautiful dance with "Can't Hurt".
In that era, Wang Lin's "Can't Afford to Hurt" can be said to be known to everyone, and everyone knows it. Before that, she successfully defeated Lin Junjie's classic masterpiece "Cao Cao" with the popular song "QQ Love", which can be called a well-known and well-praised divine comedy.
In addition, another darling from the field of ringtones and square dance, Pang Mailang, his "My Skateboarding Shoes" has sparked a heated frenzy in the online world with its unique brainwashing rhythm and humorous lyrics.
Although Pang Meilang's behavior in daily life seems rude and rude, and even damages his reputation because of it, the divine comedy of this song has made many netizens obsessed.
Many people have said that they have been fascinated by the magical rhythm of the song and cannot extricate themselves.
However, we also can't ignore those musicians who are blinded by short-lived brilliance because of their complacency and fail to continue to work hard, thus missing the opportunity to develop further.
Some singers even behaved in a gaffe, even at the expense of creating false personal experiences, which undoubtedly disappointed their fans.
For example, Wang Lin, although she has extremely high talent and excellent works such as "Can't Hurt", "QQ Love", etc., due to health problems, she had to gradually retire from the entertainment industry. If she had been humble and kept working hard, maybe she would have created more classics and gone a long way in music.
In contrast, Pang Meilang wasted the rare opportunity of "My Skateboarding Shoes". After relying on this brainwashing divine comedy to become famous overnight and become an "Internet celebrity", he became arrogant and rude.
Not only did he frequently ask for money from reporters who interviewed him, but he also had an arrogant attitude and insulted others with vulgar and rude words, which naturally caused strong public dissatisfaction, causing his reputation to plummet, and he was destined to fail to achieve greater achievements in his music career.
Finally, we have to mention Po. The singer, who passed all the way through the talent show "Avenue of Stars" and finally won the championship, originally won the love and sympathy of the audience with his kind and simple image.
However, what is unexpected is that he turned out to be a well-planned and successful liar who was born from the grassroots and came from a poor family, and when his true wealthy identity was revealed, he immediately lost everyone's trust and support, and no one wanted to believe every word he said.
Fifth, at the end of the song, people and scattered things are people, and the heat gradually fades away, and there is no news at all!
While self-righteous singers are still squandering their reputations without hesitation, the pace of times has quietly changed, new faces have sprung up one after another, and the once-sought-after popularity and fan base have gradually faded.
It is worth mentioning that for Li Xiaojie, this music genius who once became popular all over the country with "Friend's Wine", has almost completely become a passing star except for occasionally sharing trivial things about life on short video platforms.
In the past, the figure that was popular all over the country can only become the "old book" on which he depends.
Although Zheng Yuan has transitioned to a career in education and secured a position as a music professor at the Beijing Academy of Chinese Opera, he has long since moved away from the stage of the music scene, and many people may have long forgotten his glory days when he was in the spotlight with his song "10,000 Reasons Why".
Po's situation is even more tragic, he has been reduced to a "street rat", forgotten by people in the vast sea of people. Who would have thought that the seemingly pitiful but innocent image that once became popular overnight through a talent show turned out to be an elaborate hoax? Today, he can only rely on struggling on short video platforms, barely earning a meager income to make ends meet.
As for the two singers, Wang Lin and Pang Mailang, although they occasionally conduct live events on short video platforms, the number of viewers and attention are extremely low, and it is difficult to evoke people's memories of their past glory.
Huang Hexiang, who has been away from the music scene for 30 years, has also tried to start a live broadcast on the live video platform in an attempt to rebuild his popularity. However, the live broadcast room was empty, and it was obvious that the influence of his classic song "Nine Sisters" had disappeared.
