The Chinese music scene has ushered in a rising star. 20-year-old Xu Huaiyu successfully relied on the song "I Am a Girl", like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, instantly lighting up the youth memories of countless people.
Her first self-titled album "Xu Huaiyu" sold more than 1 million copies, and she was in the limelight for a while, becoming a hot newcomer in the Chinese music scene.
Xu Huaiyu's success lies not only in her moving singing, but also in her touching backstory. Born in a single-parent family with many children, she began washing dishes in restaurants as a teenager to supplement the family, earning her reputation as a "commoner diva".
This title is both an affirmation of her talent and a tribute to her tenacity.
In 2000, Xu Huaiyu began to develop in multiple habitats, and co-starred with Guo Jinan in the TV series "Legend of Heaven and Earth Fish Beauty", in which she played the beautiful carp essence Xiaolian, with a beautiful face, and became an indelible childhood goddess in the hearts of many audiences.
However, as time passed, the former glory gradually faded. When Xu Huaiyu announced that he would join "Riding the Wind 2023" in 2023, many people were cheering "DNA moved", looking forward to Xu Huaiyu being able to reproduce the "Wang Xinling Myth". It's a pity that reality gave her a slap in the face.
Before the show started, negative news came out about her because she had too many commercial performances, was not serious about practice, and had conflicts with Jia Jingwen. In his first stage performance, Xu Huaiyu sang his masterpiece "Flying Apart", but because of his stiff movements, wandering eyes, and unsteady breath, he only scored 293 points.
Judge Zhao Zhao even used the word "dangerous" to evaluate her performance.
When he arrived at the Yigong stage, Xu Huaiyu was in a hurry, and even forgot his actions for a while, peeking at other teammates, and his behavior of "copying homework" on the spot was ridiculed by the whole network. Her personal liking is only 62, ranking 27th out of 33 sisters and almost eliminated.
After learning of this result, Xu Huaiyu cried and thanked everyone for giving her a new start and giving her the opportunity to move forward, but at this time, her eyes had lost their former brilliance, like a small animal suddenly falling into a strange world, panicked and couldn't extricate herself.
The former "civilian diva" has now fallen to this, which is really amazing.
In the second public selection of "Riding the Wind 2023", Xu Huaiyu and others were left as "lone rangers". In the end, she formed a team with Zhang Jiani and Zhao Lina and sang a song "Midnight to the Morning" that almost no one cared about.
Fate seemed to play a joke on her again.
The first impression of this group makes people dare not expect too much from the performance results. member Xu Huaiyu used to be a well-loved and powerful singer, but in recent years, he has fallen into a low point in his career; Zhao Lina was a retired goalkeeper of the Chinese women's football team, while Zhang Jiani is an actress who has attracted much attention since her debut.
Such a combination is very incompatible in any way, and there seems to be little hope, and even they themselves are apprehensive about the upcoming performance.
However, it was in the combination that was considered difficult to stand out, that Xu Huaiyu unexpectedly found the strength to stand up. The other two members of the team, especially Zhang Jiani, gave her unexpected support and encouragement.
Zhao Lina, as a retired women's football goalkeeper, has led the national team to win the Asian Cup. When forming a team, she showed the tenacity and optimism unique to athletes, easily calming the panic of her teammates and firmly saying, "It's okay, don't be afraid." "
This kind of courage from the arena gave Xu Huaiyu deep comfort.
In contrast, Zhang Jiani's performance was more surprising. This actress, who gives the impression of "widowed beauty", after becoming the captain, has shown extremely high leadership and emotional intelligence, completely surpassing her appearance impression and leaving a deep impression.
She seems to have been born with a knack for how to get to the heart of a problem, how to help her teammates rebuild confidence, and even make people feel that she is a natural leader.
Under the leadership of Zhang Jiani, the practice atmosphere of the three became relaxed and positive. A smile gradually appeared on Xu Huaiyu's face, and a spark of hope rekindled in his eyes. Although the final stage performance is still insufficient, at least Xu Huaiyu's singing level has improved compared to before.
Xu Huaiyu seems to see the possibility of returning to the top from this unexpected combination, which may be the turning point of her career.
Zhang Jiani showed leadership in "Riding the Wind 2023" in the second public, which is completely different from Jia Jingwen that Xu Huaiyu met when she was in the first public. She didn't push all the tasks of guiding singing to her just because Xu Huaiyu was the only singer in the team.
On the contrary, whether it is singing or dancing, it is Zhang Jiani who patiently helps Xu Huaiyu adjust this considerate approach, which makes Xu Huaiyu feel the long-lost warmth and support.
What's even more commendable is that Zhang Jiani is well aware of her own limitations, and she has not flinched because of this. On the contrary, she is good at borrowing her strength, actively inviting other sisters to help her.
When she had problems with her singing skills, she invited Ella and Gong Linna; When the dance needed to be improved, she invited Xie Xin and Liu Yiyun to have this open and humble attitude, which not only solved the team's difficulties, but also created a warm atmosphere of mutual help.
Zhang Jiani's greatest contribution is to help her teammates relieve tension and regain confidence, she acts like a "success master", wholeheartedly "changing the mind" of her teammates. In the practice room, she encouraged her teammates to sit down, saying in a firm voice, "We should enjoy every moment of dancing."
"We don't want to show others, but to show the beauty we want to express in our hearts" "Look at yourself in the mirror, you can, we will definitely be able to do it".
Although these words seem old-fashioned, they are exactly what Xu Huaiyu needs to hear most at this time. With Zhang Jiani's encouragement, Xu Huaiyu's eyes gradually became firm, and the smiles on his face became more and more.
When preparing for the collection, Xu Huaiyu even said with a smile: "This is the power of our love."
Although there are still flaws in the final stage presentation, Xu Huaiyu seems to have forgotten the movements during the performance, but her singing voice has been greatly improved. More importantly, she regained her love and confidence for the stage.
After learning the results of the votes, Zhang Jiani went to comfort Xu Huaiyu as soon as possible: "It's okay, are you happy?" Some netizens thanked her for making Xu Huaiyu's eyes shine, but she replied very humbly: "The light in her eyes has never disappeared and will continue to shine." ”
Her high emotional intelligence and sincerity won the love of the audience and also made Xu Huaiyu regain confidence.
Although Zhang Jiani's team ended up at the bottom of the stage rankings, her leadership style had a positive impact on the team. Through genuine care and encouragement, she proves that a person's potential can be unleashed through more than just technical guidance.
Under her leadership, the originally "leftover" team found its own shining point, including Xu Huaiyu, and in the process she found her own value.
With Zhang Jiani's encouragement and help, Xu Huaiyu's changes are obvious. Her image of a "civilian diva" who is in a hurry and her eyes are wandering on a public stage begins to gradually find her rhythm and self-confidence.
Although Xu Huaiyu's second public stage performance is not perfect, her eyes have renewed brilliance. She went from being a panicked little animal to a woman who began to show the confidence that a professional singer should have.
In the live performance, despite some mistakes, her singing voice is undoubtedly more moving than before, and her eyes have become firm and powerful.
After the performance, Xu Huaiyu showed unprecedented lightness and humor. She even imitated Zhang Jiani's way of urging them to practice on stage, which caused the audience to laugh.
Just such a small gesture makes people feel the change in her heart - she is beginning to be able to relax and face the stage and enjoy the process of performing.
After the show was broadcast, Xu Huaiyu deliberately released a long thank you article to express her gratitude to her teammates, and also humorously played the stalk that netizens ridiculed her and her teammates. "This is the power of our love," she wrote. "
This sincere and humorous gratitude and attitude let us see a more real and charming Xu Huaiyu.
Xu Huaiyu's process of gradually regaining his state from the initial discomfort is not only the improvement of his acting skills, but also the reconstruction of his inner self-confidence.
In the practice room, Xu Huaiyu actively participated in the discussion, actively contributed her professional knowledge, and when her teammates encountered rhythm problems, she patiently explained the professional term "one and a half beats".
Although others may not immediately understand, this reflects Xu Huaiyu's renewed confidence and value as a professional singer.
Although Xu Huaiyu's ranking in the second public is not satisfactory, her progress has given the audience hope. People began to look forward to her next stage performance, whether she can become the brightest star on the stage again like she did back then.
Xu Huaiyu's transformation makes people see the importance of the show, it is not only a talent stage, but also a platform for artists to find themselves and regain confidence. Through cooperation with Zhang Jiani, Zhao Lina and other players, Xu Huaiyu seems to have found a new position and started a journey full of hope.
Although on the Ergong stage, the combination of Xu Huaiyu, Zhang Jiani and Zhao Lina was at the bottom of the final ranking, their team atmosphere has improved significantly. Although this is a team of "leftovers", they have built a deep friendship and a supportive atmosphere in the short preparation time.
In a long post after the stage, Xu Huaiyu sincerely thanked her teammates, especially Zhang Jiani for her encouragement and guidance, and Zhao Lina for her strength and optimism. Her gratitude to her teammates is not only a recognition of their strength, but also a cherishing experience of working together.
Xu Huaiyu also did not forget to humorously play the stalks ridiculed by netizens, showing a relaxed and happy mentality.
Zhang Jiani's high emotional intelligence and leadership throughout the process were highly appreciated by everyone. In addition, she also supported her teammates on stage, and when she learned the ranking results, her first reaction was to comfort Xu Huaiyu and ask her if she was happy.
Her behavior made people feel her selfless concern, and it further confirmed her sincerity to friendship When some netizens thanked her for making Xu Huaiyu's eyes shine again, Zhang Jiani humbly replied: "The light in her eyes has never disappeared, and it continues to shine."
The tenacity and optimism shown by retired athlete Zhao Lina in the team had a positive impact on Xu Huaiyu and Zhang Jiani. In her own way, she explained to everyone what the spirit of never giving up is.
This seemingly "unfavorable" combination, with each other's support and encouragement, successfully completed a wonderful stage performance. More importantly, they found their value in the process and established a deep friendship.
The significance of the program "Riding the Wind 2023" is to let the team spirit grow. This stage is not only a venue for participants to compete, but also a platform for participants to learn from each other and grow with each other.
The significance of "Riding the Wind 2023" goes beyond the scope of ordinary talent shows. It is not only to select the best performers, but also to show the mutual aid and "redemption" between women.
The story of Xu Huaiyu and Zhang Jiani is precisely the best interpretation of the meaning of this friendship. When Xu Huaiyu was depressed, Zhang Jiani's encouragement and support helped her regain her confidence.
This friendship that transcends competition shows a side that is more precious than fame and fortune.
Through the show, artists can find a platform to rediscover themselves. From Xu Huaiyu's initial discomfort to gradually regaining her state, her changes are not only the progress of her stage performance, but also her inner growth.
This kind of growth is something that neither money nor fame can measure.
The sincere friendship between Xu Huaiyu and Zhang Jiani has become a highlight in the show, and the interaction between them makes people really feel that even in the highly competitive entertainment industry, sincere emotions are still preserved.
This friendship is even more profound than receiving any honor.
The message of Riding the Wind 2023 is that success is defined not only by winning the competition, but more importantly, by the personal growth and harvest of each participant throughout the process.
Regardless of the final ranking, as long as she finds her value on this stage and regains her love for the stage, it will be the biggest win.
The show goes beyond fame and fortune to show the true and moving side of the artists, as the title of the article says, "Fame and fortune can't save Xu Huaiyu, but Zhang Jiani can", which vividly expresses the core values of the show - sincere emotions and the spirit of mutual assistance, which can help people rebuild their beliefs more than fame and fortune.
In an environment of mutual help and love, we can truly "ride the waves" – find our own direction and be brave enough to pursue our dreams.
