The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" has a very interesting dialogue:
Zhang Muzhi: Hey, I don't understand this, I've become a county magistrate, how can I be worse than a bandit? Old Tang: In the eyes of the people, you are the county magistrate. But in Huang Silang's eyes, you are on your knees asking for food. Make money, business, don't be humble. Zhang Muzhi: Han Bei! Very chilly!
Using this dialogue to describe Liu Wei's recent comments by music judge Ding Taisheng as a "variety show jerk", it is simply not too appropriate.
Liu Wei is now getting better and better, and after years of groping and fighting, he has become a variety show café that everyone accepts. But in the eyes of some people, Liu Wei's situation is Zhang Muzhi in the movie, although he became the county magistrate, in the eyes of Huang Silang, he was kneeling for food, and Ding Taisheng, who was the first to jump out to accuse Liu Wei, was not Huang Silang in the movie!
Liu Wei is the champion of the second "My Type I Show" and the champion of the Global Chinese Rookie Singing Competition, Liu Wei, who debuted for 15 years, is now only 34 years old. In recent years, his career has gradually turned popular, and finally in his early 30s, he mixed his reputation in the entertainment industry.
Liu Wei, who debuted as a singer, actually had a similar fate with Zhang Jie at first. Zhang Jie is the champion of the first "My Type I Show", and Liu Wei is the second. After Zhang Jie won this championship, the singer's career did not change in essence, although it became popular for a short time, but soon the heat was exhausted.
Zhang Jie did not want to give up his musical dreams, so he took the title of "My Type I Show" and participated in "Happy Male Voice", and finally because of this choice, Zhang Jie's current status in the Chinese music scene was created.
And Liu Wei is not so lucky, although the age when he became famous was younger than Zhang Jie, but a championship title of "My Type I Show" is also difficult to achieve a singer's status in the entertainment industry. (Unless, like Brilliance Chenyu, he has been stuck with his musical dreams to the end)
Later, Liu Wei gradually became a marginal person in the entertainment industry, in his early twenties, he did not give up his dream of being an artist, even if he ran a dragon set in various programs in the circle, Liu Wei still did not consider changing careers. Liu Wei, who is in his twenties, is like Yin Tianqiu played by Stephen Chow in "The King of Comedy", eager to succeed, but struggling with fate.
Liu Wei, who sang and recorded variety shows while filming, can only be regarded as barely mixed in the entertainment industry. Liu Wei, who is about to turn 30, finally realized the reason for Zhang Jie's success after 11 years of hindsight: for the sake of musical dreams, you can put down your self-esteem and start all over again.
In 2016, Liu Wei decisively participated in the competition of the third season of "China's Good Songs", and since then, Liu Wei's acting career has gradually improved. Liu Wei has gradually participated in more variety shows, no matter what type of variety show, Liu Wei is the more the merrier.
At the end of 2019, Liu Wei finally stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the cross-Chinese New Year's Eve, and the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change finally happened to Liu Wei. By 2020, Liu Wei has almost been recognized by many programs, and various types of programs such as "The Voice of Heaven", "The Strongest Brain" and "Summer of the Band" have also had Liu Wei's figure.
Looking at Liu Wei's debut in the past few years, he has indeed participated in too many variety shows, although most of them are flying guests, but the significance of his participation in these programs is like what he himself said: "Mixed face familiarity and livelihood." If it were not for Liu Wei's continuous participation in the program, I am afraid that Liu Wei would not have a small reputation in the circle today.
Nowadays, when it comes to Liu Wei, few people have compared him with Zhang Jie, because Zhang Jie is a very successful singer, and Liu Wei now gives the audience an impression that it seems difficult to believe that he was once a professional singer. After all, more often Liu Wei gives the audience the impression of playing soy sauce in variety shows and film and television works.
Talking about Liu Wei, it is easy to think of another artist, Yang Di. As the same variety show café, there are certain similarities between the two, and a large part of the circle of the two also intersects. However, Yang Di has always been recognized in the variety industry, as long as there is his program, there will be no lack of joy. And Liu Wei, more like an ordinary variety show café, his performance in the show, and desperately showing his versatility, are also for the sake of popularity.
As a singer, Liu Wei is not successful, as an actor, Liu Wei has not come up with his hands on the works, on the variety show, it is only a number. In the entertainment industry has been mixed for 15 years, although Liu Wei can not catch his breath, but the situation is indeed more embarrassing, there is no real masterpiece to get his hands on, so in the eyes of Ding Taisheng, who thinks he is a professional judge, mixed face is familiar + begging for livelihood = kneeling for food.
Ding Taisheng may just say too many people's hearts, although there are many artists who are worse than Liu Wei, but they have been mixed in the circle for 15 years, plus this time Liu Weigang participated in the brain power program "The Strongest Brain", almost nothing with the brain power program Liu Wei, has been accumulated by many people since then.
This time Liu Wei participated in "The Summer of the Band", because his performance was not optimistic about the music judge Ding Taisheng, so he became the fuse, and the emotions he had accumulated before were also exploded. Ding Taisheng dared to recklessly complain that Liu Wei was a "variety show bastard", and it must be an emotion accumulated for a long time.
If Liu Wei is successful as a singer, if Liu Wei is an actor with a handy work, how Liu Wei's variety show has an absolute core status, then Ding Taisheng must not have the courage to complain that Liu Wei is a "variety show bastard".
This time Ding Taisheng complained about Liu Wei, which completely ripped off the fig leaf of Liu Wei over the years, and also completely exposed the real state of Liu Wei's survival in the entertainment industry over the years. Artists without backgrounds, crawling in the entertainment industry, everything can only rely on themselves. It is precisely because Liu Wei's road to fame is not easy, so as a fan, he should be doubly cherished.
"Don't cheat the young and poor" is the truth that we all learned when we were young, and now Liu Wei is only 34 years old, although the output that most people recognize in the work, I hope that Liu Wei can remember how painful it is to be punched in the face today, and hope that in the future, Liu Wei can come up with works that make people clap their hands and praise.
Artists who have no background and no masterpieces, no matter how hard they struggle in the entertainment industry, in the eyes of some people, they are all stubborn and survive. After all, music judges like Ding Taisheng only value the work and have no obligation to understand the bitterness behind an artist.
