1. Kick off - In January 2024, Xu Huaiyu will present a wonderful performance at the Chengdu press conference!
On the afternoon of January 10, 2024, the grand performance scene of the Chengdu Global Center was bustling with activity, and the dazzling lights illuminated the entire space. Thousands of fans are eagerly waiting for the curtain to be revealed.
The band on the stage played steadily and completed the final rehearsal, which made the atmosphere as warm as cooking oil.
At this time, Xu Huaiyu, who was wearing a silver sequin dress, officially stepped into the stage, looking at her 46-year-old age, although her youthful demeanor is no longer there, but her gestures still reveal a unique charm of maturity and charm.
With a smile on her face, she greeted the spotlight and showed her trademark sweet smile to the fans in the audience.
When the familiar melody sounded at the scene, the hearts of countless fans rolled like waves, as if they had traveled through a time tunnel and returned to the passionate youth years ago more than 20 years ago.
The audience was suddenly boiling, and everyone followed the rhythm and sang enthusiastically in unison, which instantly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.
Next, Xu Huaiyu sang many popular classic old songs such as "Flying Apart" and "Love Like a Heavy Cold", although the years have left traces on her, her emotions and profound interpretation of the lyrics are still moving.
Finally, she announced that she was about to embark on a multi-month "Countdown to 3 Seconds" tour that would take her to 22 cities, and fans cheered and showed off their expectations for the "civilian diva".
Although life has gone through ups and downs, Xu Huaiyu, who has returned to the stage at this moment, exudes confidence and calmness, as if telling a touching chapter about chasing dreams and never giving up.
Second, Xu Huaiyu's debut road - was discovered to enter the industry and became famous overnight!
The time goes back to a sunny spring day in 1997, when 19-year-old Xu Huaiyu stood alone on the balcony of his house, humming the most popular songs of the moment as he wanted. The sun gently shone on her young and beautiful face, and her voice became clearer and more pleasant.
Who would have thought that it was such a chance that completely changed her fate. Not far away, Weng Xiaoliang, a senior agent who happened to pass by here, overheard Xu Huaiyu's soft chant of self-amusement, and was immediately deeply attracted by this magical voice.
With years of keen vision, he firmly believes that this girl from an ordinary background must have a high level of musical talent.
So, Weng Xiaoliang did not hesitate to take the initiative to visit, and after in-depth communication and negotiation, the talented Xu Huaiyu successfully stepped into the well-known Rolling Stone Records, which opened the curtain of her brilliant acting career.
Incredibly, in 1998, Xu Huaiyu successfully launched her breakthrough self-titled debut album "Xu Huaiyu", in which the title song "I Am a Girl" swept the whole Taiwan like a storm, almost everywhere.
In just 3 months, the sales of this album soared to 500,000 copies at an astonishing speed, even surpassing Zhang Huimei's record and easily crossing the million mark!
For a while, this rookie singer from an ordinary single-parent family quickly rose to become a well-known "civilian diva" in such an unexpected way, becoming the most eye-catching new star in the Chinese music scene.
While his career is thriving, Xu Huaiyu also participated in the popular TV series "The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Fish Beauty", and the cute and playful carp essence role played by the audience is deeply loved by the audience. Even the film giant Stephen Chow once intended to invite her to play the heroine of the movie "The King of Comedy" Liu Piaopiao, but unfortunately, due to time conflicts, it was not realized in the end.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just when Xu Huaiyu's career is booming and becoming a smash hit, Taiwan's record industry has entered a period of decline. Her Rolling Stone Records is facing serious losses, and in order to survive, she has to arrange a full schedule for Xu Huaiyu's "cash cow".
According to the makeup artist, all the expenses of Xu Huaiyu's outing, including transportation, accommodation and meals, were all deducted from her meager income. The company made a huge profit from it, and she didn't get a penny for herself.
With such a high-intensity work, coupled with the fact that she was already suffering from depression, Xu Huaiyu's physical and mental health was quickly crushed by this huge pressure.
What's worse is that some people with ulterior motives began to spread rumors on the Internet that "Xu Huaiyu is playing a big name". As a popular diva, some small flaws on her body were maliciously amplified and widely spread, which soon caused an uncontrollable storm of public opinion on the Internet, and people accused her of "forgetting her roots".
In order to defend his beautiful image in the hearts of the general public, Xu Huaiyu resolutely appeared under the media camera with his mother, and once again recounted his extremely unfortunate family experience in detail.
With tears in her eyes, she recounted the tragic experiences of her parents who divorced and her grandfather brutally beat her mother when she was young, and revealed her painful past of depression due to mental torture, in order to arouse deep empathy for the public to experience her suffering.
After all, Xu Huaiyu could no longer stand the ruthless and inhumane corporate culture of the brokerage company, and decisively made the difficult choice of terminating the contract and leaving the company.
However, the company has issued a staggering resignation penalty of millions of Taiwan dollars, which is undoubtedly an astronomical burden for her.
Although Xu Huaiyu, a popular artist, has a lot of income, she also feels powerless to pay the sky-high liquidated damages in full. However, in order to regain his freedom, Xu Huaiyu could only grit his teeth and exhaust all his savings, and finally was able to get out of the predicament smoothly.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon after switching to a new owner, Xu Huaiyu was treated absurdly by another company. One day, she was arranged to attend a commercial event in Hangzhou, but at the end of the event, the organizers offered to let her continue to "accompany" her boss for entertainment.
As an upright and kind woman, Xu Huaiyu did not hesitate to lead her assistant to quickly flee the scene.
This "ignorant promotion" action undoubtedly angered the senior leaders of the new company. They immediately used Xu Huaiyu's failure to perform her job duties as agreed in the contract, not only completely blocked her, but also took her to court and demanded sky-high liquidated damages of up to millions of yuan.
Xu Huaiyu, who had gone through hardships, was physically and mentally exhausted and was unable to compete with the powerful capital force, so he had to choose to settle with the company, and once again reluctantly lost his job opportunity.
In this way, for the next period of time, Xu Huaiyu lived an extremely embarrassing life and had to run around looking for commercial performance opportunities to make ends meet. Sometimes you even need to ask your fans and friends for help and reach out to borrow money to get through the difficulties.
The former "civilian diva" became a "poor diva" overnight, and her situation can be described as the lowest trough in her life.
Fourth, the peak moment: the ancestor of the diva, the legendary romance
Looking back on the most dazzling stage of Xu Huaiyu's life, I am afraid it can be traced back to the passionate and energetic years in the early days of her debut. At that time, she not only shined in the music scene, but her personal life was also wonderful and eye-catching.
On the occasion of 1998, with the title song "I Am a Girl" setting off a storm across the country with its fresh style, Xu Huaiyu's name quickly took root in the Chinese music industry like spring shoots, achieving a classic legend.
The influence of this song has transcended the field of music, and we can hear the melodious melody from time to time in the streets, commercial centers, and even on the radio of taxis.
Acutely aware of Xu Huaiyu's extraordinary popularity, Rolling Stone Records followed suit and meticulously created three solo albums for her, achieving remarkable results, and the company's sales continued to climb as a result.
And Xu Huaiyu herself, with her sunny and sweet image and lively and lovely personality, quickly became a well-known "civilian diva" and was deeply loved by the audience.
However, just when his career was booming, Xu Huaiyu's relationship with his fellow senior brother and popular idol Luo Zhixiang was unexpectedly exposed. It is understood that both of them studied under the same vocal teacher in their early years and have known each other for a long time, and Luo Zhixiang did not shy away from admitting that they had a brief relationship.
It is said that due to busy work and other reasons, the relationship came too hastily and lasted only seven days before it broke down. Despite this, this brief relationship did not affect their friendship too much, and they remained as close as friends who talked about everything.
Perhaps, the unruly love at the beginning was just the result of the impulsiveness of two young people.
Soon after the breakup, there was new peachy news that pushed Xu Huaiyu to the forefront of public opinion. This time, she and the well-known actor Zhang Xiaoquan in the TV series "Looking for Mr. Right", after a long time of crew life, the two gradually developed a good impression of each other.
Subsequently, the two had a public relationship for a year, and Zhang Xiaoquan's meticulous care for Xu Huaiyu was also widely praised by the outside world.
Although this year-long relationship finally came to an end, it was undoubtedly one of the hottest topics in the Chinese entertainment industry at that time. The decision of the two made countless fans regret, and it was sad that such a celebrity couple chose to break up.
