Zhang Jingxuan, a singer from Beijing and born in Guangzhou, turned his career to Hong Kong in 2006, focusing on Cantonese music, thus achieving great success in the local area, but just when everyone thought he would return to his hometown, he cut himself off from the mainland market due to repeated controversies. In 2013, Zhang Jingxuan signed a contract with Emperor Entertainment, which has strong resources in the mainland, eager to return to the mainland market through the operation of the new owner, but unfortunately failed at the last minute, and recently, he mentioned the story again during his live Instagram broadcast.
Zhang Jingxuan said that 2016 was the most difficult year since he started his career, and the heavy setbacks in his work made him suffer a huge blow to his body and spirit. Obviously, he is referring to the joining of Hunan Satellite TV's "I Am a Singer 5", but due to many controversies in the past, all the pictures were finally deleted. Some Hong Kong media reported at the time that in order to push him into the mainland market, Huo Wenxi and the top management of zhou surnamed Zhou, who was in charge of the Business in Guangzhou, did a lot of operations to let him get the invitation of "I Am a Singer 5" against all odds, but unfortunately, everything in the past was turned over by mainland netizens, and Hunan Satellite TV also had to give up on him under heavy pressure.
"At that time, the assistant and boss Zhou of the Guangzhou Emperor knocked on my door at 3 a.m., I opened it to see, his face was very ugly, and I would never forget that scene for the rest of my life!" I had just been filming a mainland variety show for half a day, and I was actually very tired, so they came in and sat in the living room with a dead face, asked me if I had watched the news, and told me what had happened... Boss Zhou was entrusted by Mani (Huo Wenxi), afraid that I would not be able to open it because of the blow. Zhang Jingxuan said.
The top management and assistants comforted them all night, and waited until dawn when Zhang Jingxuan sent them out, and said that he was already fine, and it was stressful to participate in a large program, so it was better to buy a ticket to travel. But how can people pretend to be okay when they encounter such setbacks? He then became depressed for a long time. "My job seems to be very unsafe, it seems that I can't choose my own turn, and public figures have to face a lot of things, and you don't know how to deal with it." 」 Since then, he has devoted part of his energy to the restaurant industry, partnering with others to open restaurants, and is no longer as devoted to music as before.
At the same time, Zhang Jingxuan, who has experienced this setback, has converged a lot in addition to social media and music, and even participated in some more mainstream activities. In 2018, Cheung was elected As Vice President of the 13th Council of the Hong Kong Performers Association, becoming the first Mainland-born artist to receive the position.
Hong Kong's music market is becoming more and more difficult to do, most full-time musicians have difficulty relying on this to survive, coupled with the ongoing epidemic in Hong Kong, the catering industry is also facing a lot of pressure, how should Zhang Jingxuan choose the future development path? Does he still have the opportunity to land on mainstream film and television platforms in the mainland? We'll see.
