On May 7, 2021, the video of Yang Kun participating in the commercial performance circulated online: Yang Kun was preparing to take the stage, in order to enliven the atmosphere of the scene, the host let the audience shout Yang Kun's name with himself, but everyone shouted "Andy Lau".
Why do you call out the wrong name? It turned out that everyone was not looking away at the same time, but deliberately demolished Yang Kun's platform.
In the final analysis, it is because of a passage he said in the live broadcast room: "Andy Lau Why have you liked him for so many years?" It's because he's made a lot of good looks, but strictly speaking he's not a singer. ”
Because Andy Lau, as an actor, when singing, will remind the audience of his films. He added: "Actors are just so good. ”
In fact, this is not the first time he has evaluated Andy Lau's singing skills in public, as early as when "The Voice of China" was a mentor, he imitated Andy Lau's singing voice in the program, and said that Andy Lau singing only by roaring, and the title of The King of Heaven was a false name.
This remark also caused dissatisfaction among netizens. Andy Lau is known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, whether acting or singing, has its outstanding works.
Although he did debut as an actor at first, he also published many classic songs later, such as "Forgetting Love Water" and "Ice Rain", which are all well-known works.
To say that Liu Tianwang is not a singer is too much.
In fact, before this incident, Yang Kun's decline had already been traced.
Once he also stood at the peak of the mainland music scene, but now he can only rely on commercial performances and live broadcasts to bring goods to make a living. What did he do to ruin his career?
In 1987, after failing the college entrance examination, he came to a steel company to work as a rivet, electrician and welder.
At this time, several top singers of his generation in the music industry have embarked on their musical path, Sun Nan was admitted to the literary troupe, Na Ying began to cover Su Rui's songs, and even Sha Baoliang won awards in his acrobatic world.
Two years later, he was also successfully admitted to the literary and artistic troupe and became a literary and artistic soldier. Since then, he has begun his long musical career.
After entering the literary troupe, he began to secretly go out as a resident singer, at first earning five yuan a night, and later fifty yuan, his popularity in Baotou became higher and higher.
But Yang Kun did not take long to be proud, this matter was discovered by the leadership, and this behavior was also stopped. Five years later, Yang Kun left the cultural troupe and went to Beijing with only eight hundred yuan on his body.
Life in The North Drift is quite difficult, he is stationed in a bar, and the station, air raid shelter, and bathhouse are his perch. During the year, he even set a record of fifty-five moves.
Like many wandering singers, he dreams of one day becoming famous overnight. But what happened next shattered his hopes.
Once, when he came home after singing, he felt that his voice was uncomfortable, and after checking at the hospital, he realized that it was a vocal cord summary and needed surgery.
The doctor asked him to rest for 3 months, but three days after the operation, he began to sing again. As a result, his vocal cords were damaged, his throat was bleeding, and his voice became hoarse.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, and in his despair, he had thought of giving up. Many years later, when he recalls this past, he will burst into tears.
However, when he was in his early twenties, he did not expect that he would be blessed with misfortune in the future, and with this hoarse voice, he would gain a firm foothold in the music world.
In 1994, during a performance, he met his compatriot Bai Xue and fell in love with her at first sight.
After the performance, he used the only eighty yuan he had to take a taxi to Bai Xue's residence. He didn't go upstairs, he just looked up at her window, and it was all night.
Later, he moved into Bai Xue's dormitory, and the two lived together for four years.
During this period, in addition to singing in bars, he also learned to compose music with others, and the song "It Doesn't Matter" that made him popular was written at this time.
But the song was not popular at the time. He had sent the song to the record company many times, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
His life was embarrassing, fortunately there was snow around him, and he secretly swore that he would not fail this woman. However, under the weight of life, all vows will become empty words.
Yang Kun, who felt that his career was slim, his temper began to become grumpy, and the two often quarreled over some small things.
There is a rich man who frantically courted Bai Xue, and after learning about this incident, Yang Kun's self-esteem, which had achieved nothing, was greatly hit. The two had a big fight over the matter, and he later proposed to Bai Xue to break up.
Bai Xue cried, but she still thought about Yang Kun and handed Yang Kun the gold necklace she had worn for more than ten years. This is the last thought of their love affair, but after leaving the snow, he sold the necklace in the blink of an eye.
Three years later, he met the first noble person in his life, Chen Lin, when she was preparing for her solo album "Love is Love" and invited Yang Kun to help her write songs.
Shen Yongge, president of Bamboo Book Culture, listened to the songs he wrote and felt that it was more suitable for him to sing, so he signed a contract with Yang Kun to make him an artist under his umbrella.
A year later, he released his first record, and the title song "It Doesn't Matter" finally made him a hit.
Feng Xiaogang invited him to sing the theme song for his movie "Mobile Phone", and the Spring Festival Gala also invited him to sing on stage. He released several records one after another, and the sales were very good.
Yang Kun's popularity will naturally be accompanied by a lot of speculation. Rumors about his termination of the contract with Bamboo Book Culture and his relationship with Chen Lin have also attracted a lot of attention.
In the interview, he responded many times that he had left Bamboo Book, and Chen Lin was just an ordinary friend.
After becoming famous, he seems to have forgotten the kindness of these two people and attributed all his achievements to himself.
Shen Yongge and Chen Lin can be said to be his Bole, but he broke off relations with the two so quickly, which also made the outside world have a different view of him.
But at that time, the popularity of others was still very high, so not many people talked about it.
After Chen Lin's death, in order to show his gratitude to this nobleman, Yang Kun will specially set up a mourning session at each concert to commemorate Chen Lin, which has also won him a good reputation.
However, many of the things he did afterwards made people wonder.
The habit of judging others has also made him suffer a lot of losses.
When Yang Kun was preparing for his first concert, he was asked if he would invite Tian Zhen. Yang Kun replied, "Tian Zhen? I don't know".
You know, at that time, Tian Zhen was the mainstay of the music world, and there was no singer who did not know. As a person in the circle, it is really confusing to say such a thing.
In fact, this has a lot to do with the long-term entanglement between Na Ying and Tian Zhen.
As Na Ying's best friend, he naturally wanted to choose a side. But even to avoid relationships, such an answer is no longer straightforward, but low emotional intelligence, which offends people.
Verbal battles can indeed make him quick for a while, but such a habit often makes him get into trouble, and even becomes the target of public criticism.
In addition to liking to squeeze his peers, he also showed no mercy to his juniors.
In the interview, he commented on Li Yuchun: "Li Yuchun has lowered the aesthetics of national music again and again."
Later, in a program, he personally punched his face and adapted and sang a song by Li Yuchun, "Next, see you at the intersection". When someone asked him why he chose this song, he unnaturally replied: "Li Yuchun's song is very good." ”
His mouth is not only aimed at singers, Yang Mi has also been evaluated by him.
Yang Mi, who is an actor, once sang a very popular song, that is, "The Provision of Love". When Yang Mi took her new film to Hong Kong to participate in a promotional event, she was exposed as a fake singer.
In an interview with reporters, Yang Kun said bluntly: "Yang Mi must sing falsely, because she may not be able to sing when she really sings."
Perhaps hindered by Yang Mi's strong support group, he later explained: "Because Yang Mi looks too good, if he can't sing well, it will affect the image, and it is better to fake sing." ”
If these few things are not well known to the public because they are small fights, then the next two things can be said to be well known.
In 2004, Dao Lang and his songs suddenly became popular all over the country.
Someone asked him to evaluate Daolang's song, and he said ruthlessly: Daolang's song is not music at all, if he comes to sing, it will not be worse than Daolang.
After that, he also talked: "I think it is strange that he became popular, we work so hard to make music and do quality, all we hear in his songs is pale and weak." ”
Na Ying also openly said that Dao Lang's songs could not be on the table, and Dao Lang's fans were farmers. Yang Kun also strongly supported: "Daolang's music is not progress, but to make pop music go back fifteen years. ”
Without any marketing means, the genuine album alone sold 2.7 million copies, which is not music? For the comments of the two, Daolang did not make any response, but silently left the entertainment circle.
Fast forward 10 years, and while everyone has forgotten about it, a reversal has occurred.
In 2015, Wang Jianlin said that he liked Daolang's songs and sang his "West Sea Love Song" at the company's annual meeting.
This fiercely countered the remarks of the two men, the president of the hall, it should not be a farmer. Na Ying could only apologize for his previous remarks, but Yang Kun was hesitant to respond.
Because of his criticism of Daolang, he touched Wang Jianlin, who was still unwilling to bow his head, but because he was besieged by netizens in the Andy Lau incident, he had to publicly express remorse, and finally ended up with a reputation of bullying soft and afraid of hard.
Another thing happened in 2020, when MC Rokudo became an internet celebrity with a song called "Thunder".
In a live broadcast, fans asked Yang Kun to cover "Thunder", but he got angry halfway through listening: "What kind of thing? If you want to sing without a song, if you want a melody without a melody, if you want a rhythm without a rhythm, it's crazy. ”
Even angry at the fans in the live broadcast room, "Those who like to listen to "Thunder", don't enter my live broadcast room in the future." ”
Subsequently, MC Six faced the battle head-on, saying that there is no difference between music and inferiority, and all that can bring joy is good music.
This passage is quite beautiful, but for his unexpected popularity, he also seems to be a little fluttery, the spearhead pointed directly at Yang Kun's work: "You see "Thunder" is now more popular, more than any of your songs! ”
After hearing this, Yang Kun directly moved out the stalks of green onions and coffee, alluding to himself that he was a person who shared elegance and customs, but "Shocking Thunder" was another matter.
MC Liu Dao continued to immerse himself in the joy of his own popularity, but the joy was extremely sad.
He put his song and the classic work "A Laugh in the Sea" in the same position, which caused dissatisfaction among netizens and supported Yang Kun, and he finally won again.
Now Yang Kun, who is almost fifty years old, is still single, and the snow that "adopted" him when he was poor has disappeared without a trace, and Chen Lin, who once helped him climb the peak of his career, has also passed away.
With a song "It Doesn't Matter", from a north drifting wave singer to the altar in one fell swoop, and because of the speech step by step fell to the bottom, is he really innocent?
What do you have to say about that? Feel free to leave a comment below to discuss.
