Daolang's comeback tour exploded, but his apprentice Yunduo "disappeared" without a trace, causing fans to question it. Why did this pair of masters and apprentices, who were once like father and daughter, turn against each other? A termination announcement ten years ago revealed the secret of the end of this master-apprentice relationship.
Daolang, this name used to be a legend in the Chinese music scene. As early as 2004, he swept the country with a song "The First Snow in 2002" and became a music giant in the minds of countless people. However, in his most glorious moment, he was "besieged" by several seniors in the music industry, and some even openly questioned his musical standards. This turmoil directly led him to choose to fade out of public view in 2012. Daolang's retirement made many music fans heartbroken, and his music seemed to be silent.
However, after being silent for many years, Daolang will finally make a strong comeback in 2023 with a song "Rakshasa Sea City", which instantly swept the Chinese music scene and once again ignited the enthusiasm of countless fans. The ensuing China tour was even more full, with offline ticket prices sky-high, and 50 million people watching online at the same time, Daolang's name once again occupied the major music charts. However, behind this grand tour, a question that made fans wonder also quietly surfaced - why did Daolang's most proud apprentice Yunduo disappear?
For old fans of Daolang, the name Yunduo is also very familiar. Back then, Daolang discovered Yunduo, a girl from the mountains of Sichuan, and not only personally created a number of classic songs for her, such as "Love is You and Me", "My Loulan", and "Xihai Love Song", but also brought her into the music scene. The relationship between the two has long gone beyond master and apprentice, and is more like biological father and daughter. Because of this, at the moment when Daolang returned to the music scene and the tour was hot, Yunduo's absence was particularly dazzling.
Fans' questions immediately fermented on social media, with some speculating that Yunduo was too busy with his career to show up; Some people also think that she and Daolang may have signed with different companies, and there are contract restrictions on appearances. However, these explanations don't seem to make sense, after all, Yunduo's achievements today are inseparable from Daolang's years of support and training. Even if you can't be there to congratulate, it's always okay to send a video to cheer for the master, right? However, the clouds remained silent, and this silence sparked more speculation.
Just when the discussion in the outside world intensified, the Daolang team finally issued an announcement, which pointed out simply and clearly: "Since Yunduo terminated the contract with the company ten years ago, his work arrangement and personal life have nothing to do with Mr. Daolang and the company. For a while, the news that Yun Duo and Daolang terminated the contract ten years ago shocked everyone. It turned out that the once close master and apprentice had "parted ways" as early as ten years ago. Although the announcement was concise and to the point, there was a hint of sadness between the lines, which seemed to indicate that their master-apprentice fate had ended.
Why did the two people who were in love with father and daughter choose to terminate the contract? What really happened between Daolang and Yunduo? These questions are still a mystery, but from the word "irrelevant" in the announcement, we can vaguely feel the helplessness and sadness in Daolang's heart.
For fans, this news is undoubtedly a huge regret. Looking back at the past, Daolang's several songs tailored for the clouds have now become classics of Chinese music. Daolang's music has always been affectionate and heavy, especially the poignant emotions of "Love Song of the West Sea", I am afraid that only the voice of the clouds with the atmosphere of the Tianshan Mountains can be perfectly presented. However, after the termination of the contract, Yunduo may never have the opportunity to stand on the stage and sing these classics again. Behind this, does it also reveal a certain determination and frustration of Daolang?
In fact, Daolang's decision was not without warning. Looking back on his music career, Daolang has always been a person who doesn't like to explain. He chose to remain silent when he was attacked, and he never said much after ten years of retirement, and even when he returned, he never took the initiative to mention the termination of his contract with Yunduo. In my opinion, this is the greatness of Daolang. It's not that he doesn't care about this master-apprentice relationship, but he is trying his best to protect Yunduo from the outside world. Daolang used ten years of forbearance to protect the peace and freedom of the clouds.
But things will be revealed one day, especially in the "rivers and lakes" of the entertainment industry, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will be polished by reality. With the cultivation of Daolang, Yunduo has accumulated countless fans and honors in the past ten years, and she has gradually walked out of her own music path. But as the saying goes, people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves. The rules of the entertainment industry may not only be influenced by feelings and talents. Terminating the contract may be the choice that their master and apprentice must face in the end.
From a fan's point of view, the parting of ways between Daolang and Yunduo is certainly regrettable, but it is not completely incomprehensible. Daolang chose to quit the music scene under tremendous pressure, and he knew what it was like to be controversial and attacked by the public. So he chooses not to involve the clouds in these strife, preferring to bear these pressures alone. Today's termination announcement may be more of an emotional goodbye than a simple business decision.
Perhaps, terminating the contract is the best choice for Daolang and Yunduo. In this complex entertainment industry, they all have their own development directions. In the future, perhaps we can still hear their stories from the music of the two, but it is no longer in the name of master and apprentice.
Termination is just a formality, but the real emotion is often heart-wrenching between the lines. Ten years later, do you think Daolang and Yunduo's choice is right? If it were you, what would you do? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
