As we all know, the speed of renewal of stars in the entertainment industry has always been rapid.
No, on February 21, there were media reports that Zhang Yunjing, the singer of the once-popular "Preference", was selling songs on the street.
On the same day, while singing, she sold her 2013 album "Love Is Never Ending" for 100 Taiwan dollars (about 23 yuan) a piece.
Finally, with the rewards of passers-by, Zhang Yunjing received a total of more than 50,000 Taiwan dollars (about 12,000 yuan), which she said was the highest income from her singing sales, which was really lamentable.
You know, Zhang Yunjing also had thousands of fans before, and also had the reputation of "Taipei Li Yuchun".
Today, Li Yuchun himself is still active in major music programs, and recently served as a mentor for "Youth with You 3", but Zhang Yunjing can only rely on selling songs on the street to make a living.
From her debut to no one's attention, how did she experience what ended up in such a situation?
<h1>01, a song "Preference" became popular</h1>
Zhang Yunjing's love for music is innate, and she especially liked to sing when she was a child, and she also played the guitar well.
However, the family feels that girls should study well, especially her grandmother, who is very opposed to Zhang Yunjing learning music.
Zhang Yunjing's parents are busy with work, so she has been staying with her younger siblings at her grandparents' house since she was a child.
Grandma has a more impatient temper and is very strict with her discipline, and while exercising her independent personality, it has always hindered her from developing in the direction of music.
After graduating from university, Zhang Yunjing began to work in graphic design step by step, but he never let go of his love and pursuit of music.
So, in her free time, she learned to sing on her own, and also met several like-minded friends with her.
In 2006, they formed their own small band, the Pen Sauce Orchestra, in which Zhang Yunjing served as the lead singer.
Originally, everyone was just entertaining themselves, but after a long time, they could not help but yearn for the big stage.
So, the following year, the members of the orchestra pooled money together to produce a CD "The Power of rain", but because of its lack of fame, it did not make half a wave after it was released on the market.
Just when Zhang Yunjing was discouraged, another singer talent show after "Super Girl" "Super Idol" began to audition, and the members of the orchestra felt that she was equal in strength, so they encouraged her to go to the competition, "Go to the competition, you can do it"!
In this way, 24-year-old Zhang Yunjing resolutely stood on the stage.
Two years ago, "Super Girl" won the crown for Li Yuchun, who had short hair and a straight hair, and caused a neutral trend.
At that time, "Super Idol" also made Zhang Yunjing, who has a strong voice, win the championship and win the title of "Taipei Li Yuchun", and some fans called her "Jingye".
Compared with the singers who have not made their debut in the entertainment industry for many years, Zhang Yunjing is undoubtedly lucky.
After she took the top spot, she quickly signed with Gold Gale Records.
In 2009, after she became famous again for releasing the album "Breaking the Sky" and the single "Black Dress", she was quickly selected to sing the soundtrack "Favored" of "Paladin III".
With the tv series fire, this song also exploded on major music websites, not only setting a record for the highest number of online songs that year, but also winning the most popular TV Golden Melody Award.
And this song also triggered a "oolong" incident when it exploded.
Many people listen to the song and think that the singer is a boy, but when Zhang Yunjing stood on the stage and sang "Preference", everyone found that although she cut her jagged short hair and had a low voice, she was a girl.
It is this strong contrast of personal images that makes Zhang Yunjing leave a deeper impression in people's hearts.
<h1>02, sad street performers</h1>
It is reasonable to say that if the current situation continues to develop, she will inevitably be able to break out of the broader world, but who would have thought that this "Favored" would become the peak of Zhang Yunjing's career.
Earlier, there were reports that the short hair of "Jingye" was just her "protective umbrella", in fact, Zhang Yunjing was very eager to have a long hair in her heart.
When she was in love, under the careful care of the other party, she liked her little woman's side more, and she did not want to continue the appearance of "false boy".
But she has always worried that if she changes her hairstyle, she will not be recognized by everyone.
Just when she hesitated, her friend Lan Youshi said to her: "Do what you want to do, and stay long if you want to stay long, because you must like yourself first before you can make others like you." ”
Zhang Yunjing plucked up enough courage to decide not to look ahead and be the most authentic self.
As a result, she had just changed her image and was in conflict with the gold medal Gale Records she had signed.
The company felt that Zhang Yunjing's long hair had completely lost his personal style, and asked him to restore his original appearance.
But she really didn't want to cut her hair short to meet the market, so she had to leave the company after the appointment was full.
Zhang Yunjing probably never imagined that his career would actually start to go downhill endlessly because his hair became longer.
As new generations of music continue to rise, companies are scrambling to find new stars.
Therefore, after breaking up with the gold medal Gale Records, Zhang Yunjing has not been able to find the next home,
Without the support of the company, what is even more devastating to her is that fans have also been depowdered one after another because of Zhang Yunjing's own initiative, and for a time, her career has directly fallen into a trough.
At that time, Zhang Yunjing's whole person was like a kite with a broken line, and he couldn't lift a little strength.
"Waiting for the hair film, waiting for people to come to me, waiting for hope to be disappointed, then there was no goal, it felt like a wasted person who ate and waited for death"!
Fortunately, she has always had friends around her who support her.
At the most difficult time, Lan Youshi took out the 3 million education fund that her daughter was preparing to study abroad as a production fee for Zhang Yunjing's "Failed High Song" album.
In August 2016, a month before the album's release, Zhang Yunjing confessed on social platforms that "there are only 3,000 left in the account", and said that he chose the latter on the road to making a living and dreaming, hoping to promote the new album.
However, things are not human, most of her true love fans have left, and few people pay attention to her dynamics.
In the end, the album did not sell profitably, and even the return was not enough.
And Deng Ziqi, who met her at the award ceremony, also reached out to Zhang Yunjing when he was in difficulty, and recommended him to the "Fast Forward" program group he participated in.
But who expected, Zhang Yunjing failed to "warm up" because of this, but because of what she said in the program, netizens were suspicious of her sexual orientation, and her career completely plummeted.
When the host asked about the relationship between the two sides, Zhang Yunjing looked at Deng Ziqi intently and said: "I think we both have a lot of personalities, but we can be integrated, I am sometimes quite serious, but you can tell jokes, and often bring the atmosphere very happy, so I like to be with you." ”
Immediately after, someone on the Internet broke out that before she debuted, she had a homosexual scandal with Guo Caijie in "Ace Big Star".
It is rumored that Zhang Yunjing named himself to sing "Skirt Swaying" with the other party in the program, and also danced with Guo Caijie.
After that, the two participated in the "Million Primary School Hall" together, and she kept peeking at Guo Caijie, as long as the other party answered the question correctly, Zhang Yunjing's reaction was even more excited than her own answer to the question.
When in the background, Zhang Yunjing always ran to talk to Guo Caijie. Talking to other people is also often praised, "Guo Caijie is really cute."
In addition, after the release of the second album "Opposite Me", when asked by the reporter whether she would choose to associate with boys or girls in the future, Zhang Yunjing also replied: "I am still studying, in fact, I am choosing, others are also choosing you."
Probably realizing that her speech was inappropriate, she immediately said, "In fact, I can only choose a job now, the time in Taiwan in August and September should not exceed a week, and I can only choose a restaurant" after that, and then she hastily ended the interview.
When she grew her long hair, everyone was stunned, and Zhang Yunjing said: "Can't believe it? Now you ask me, I choose men. ”
Zhang Yunjing, who has been difficult to return to the peak, has lost the few remaining fan groups due to homosexual scandals.
Last October, she posted on social platforms that she had not worked for nearly a year, her savings had gone from positive to negative, and her life was so miserable that she could not even pay the rent for a while.
Helpless, she once had a light life and wanted to take medicine to end her life.
<h1>epilogue</h1>
Just after Zhang Yunjing fell, people's instinctive desire to survive appeared, and she worked hard to get up to save herself, "I have to work harder to get up and truly face my life."
After rubbing shoulders with the "ghost door", she became stronger and began to slowly find her original intention.
Since you can't develop in the entertainment industry, find other places to continue singing.
In 2019, Zhang Yunjing obtained a busker qualification certificate, and she squated generously on the street, holding a guitar and singing her own songs.
Although the income is far less than that year, the smile on her face is brighter than ever.
Thousands of sails have passed, I think, for Zhang Yunjing now, nothing can make people more joyful than being able to continue singing!
But at the same time, Sister Rice had to sigh that such a good singer could not return to its original glory after all.
