In the song world of the 90s, Hong Kong and Taiwan had four great kings, Zuo Lin and Right Li, and Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang and other generations of singers, while stars such as Liu Huan, Na Ying, Mao Amin and Yang Yuying in the mainland were also fledgling, and now they have become a generation of singers sought after by thousands of people.
But in addition, there are some stars who disappeared after the explosion of popularity in that era, and today I will take stock of the singers who exploded in the 90s.
How hot was Xie Xiaodong, the "idol male god" of that year? On the Spring Festival Gala stage for 14 consecutive years, almost everyone in the streets and alleys can hum a few words of his works, many artists at the peak of their careers want to cooperate with him, and the family can be described as a city, and they are secretly loved by Zhang Ziyi, Na Ying and many other female artists for many years.
But now, it is rare to see him on the stage.
Xie Xiaodong came from an artistic family, since he was a child, he began to practice dance hard, originally because of his handsome appearance, good body conditions, the teachers placed high hopes on him, but did not expect that with the improvement of dance technology, his foot injuries became more and more serious, until finally had to give up dancing.
Although the road of dance did not go through, Xie Xiaodong still did not give up, and finally he was admitted to the art academy with a good voice and entered the Hefei Song and Dance Troupe, but Xie Xiaodong finally gave up this iron rice bowl and embarked on a "dream journey" to Beijing.
Because Xie Xiaodong was "gifted", by chance, Xie Xiaodong was favored by Gu Jianfen and became the same disciple as Na Ying, Mao Amin and others.
Later, Xie Xiaodong joined the Central Song and Dance Troupe, signed a Record Company in Hong Kong, and established his own art company after going through twists and turns, and in 1995, he also successfully embarked on the Spring Festival Gala, and a song "So Happy today" made him a hit in the country.
Three years later, he sang "Health Song" with Taiwanese singer Fan Xiaoxuan on the Spring Festival Evening, and those years can be said to be xie Xiaodong's era, which is definitely the top of the music world.
He is said to have secretly confessed to Na Ying when he was 17 years old, and Zhang Ziyi also took the initiative to volunteer to be Xie Xiaodong's MV heroine when he was 17 years old, but despite being frequently confessed by female stars, Xie Xiaodong only loved his wife Yu Jiaen.
Later, the replacement of the music world is getting faster and faster, Xie Xiaodong has gradually retreated, originally wanted to turn to the commercial sea, but helplessly ended in bankruptcy, and later with the support of his wife, Xie Xiaodong started a business again and set up his own cultural company, which is now a double harvest of family business, but for fans, his retirement circle is always a regret.
A song "Great China" makes many 7080s and even post-90s familiar, but Gao Feng, who sings this song, is a representative of a singer who is not popular, in fact, he is not only a singer, but also a highly talented creator, and the "Stupid Child" he wrote for Andy Lau is still widely circulated until now, and the classic will never become obsolete.
Gao Feng has been interested in fine arts since he was a child, in 1986 he was admitted to the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, the predecessor of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, originally he would become a sculptor after graduation, but he did not expect that Gao Feng had a strong interest in music in college, after graduation he signed a record label in Hong Kong, and also published a personal album, two years later he broke off his contract from Hong Kong and became an independent musician.
In 1996, Gao Feng sang the song "Great China" on the spring evening, the song was catchy, and suddenly became the background music of many people's childhood, after which he gradually began to turn to the background, writing songs for many stars, including Li Lingyu, Andy Lau, etc., as well as Ke Shouliang's "I have not been a big brother for many years", which is also composed by Gao Feng.
But unfortunately, in 2002, Gao Feng was diagnosed with PCP viral pneumonia, only 34 years old when he died, and later his former friend Yao Rong wrote an article in honor of him, Gao Feng once had a relationship with Zhang Ziyi was also exposed, and because he had tailored the song "Stupid Child" for Andy Lau, he was also honored by Hua Zai as a teacher, and when he heard the news of Gao Feng's early death, Andy Lau was also very sad.
From star to cook, Nicholas Tse is not the first person, Nor is Huang Lei, and Lin Yilun is the first.
In 1988, Lin Yilun, who came from the countryside of Hebei Province, came to Guangzhou alone, when he was already a singer in the Hebei Culture and Art Troupe, but he gave up questioning the iron rice bowl and ran to the south to work hard.
In 1993, Zhang Quanfu gave Lin Yilun his "Love Bird" at the bottom of the box, and also recommended him to sign a contract with the New Era Audio-Visual Company in Guangzhou, when Lin Yilun took out all his savings to promote his own songs, and finally became popular with this song.
After that, Lin Yilun appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang the song "Ballad of Fire", at that time, with his handsome appearance, he became a veritable "girl killer", but in 1995, this explosive "love bird" returned to the family at the speed of light, married the model Xihua, and gave birth to two sons.
With the help of Xiannei Toshiwa, Lin Yilun also suddenly became a popular singer and became an invisible rich man in the circle, Xihua took all of Lin Yilun's savings to invest in real estate, and then the building she bought also appreciated rapidly, and it had already returned to the original year, and later the tenants who worked in this building, as well as Jay Chou and Zhou Bichang.
With the sharp rise in value, Lin Yilun also mixed up in the circle, he began to transform into an actor, as a host, a foodie, and later took his son to a variety show, he also jumped from a national idol to a "national father-in-law", in the mouth of his son, the poorest place he has been to is Guangzhou, which is enough to see how superior his growth environment is.
Although in the song world has been "passed", but now Lin Yilun has become an invisible rich man with a net worth of over 100 million, but now Lin Yilun has no opportunity to sing, but frequently shuttles through the major live broadcasts, a generation of popular singers are now reduced to internet red background boards in various live broadcasts, which is really regrettable.
In the 90s, a "Ah Lian" was popular all over the country, this song was also called "95 Golden Song" by CCTV, it is said that because of this song, Dai Jun was kidnapped and was locked up in a small black house for 3 days, just to let him sing "Ah Lian" several times, and even fans wearing white clothes and white veils ran to the company, fantasizing that they were Ah Lian.
Later, Dai Jun, who became popular with this song, transformed into "Duan Wangye" and hosted "Super Visit" with Li Jing, because of his funny and humorous hosting style, coupled with his handsome appearance, once again let him suck a wave of fans, and then Dai Jun also continued to transform, and began to try to be an actor, act in movies, and talk talk shows.
Nowadays, although Dai Jun rarely appears on the stage of singers, he is often seen in some variety shows, but his popularity is not as good as before, and it is even more regrettable that Dai Jun, who is more than half a hundred years old, has still not found his "Ah Lian", and looks forward to his early finding of his happiness.
A long flowing hair, coupled with a sunglasses that block half of the face, this is Guo Feng's classic style, debut decades, Guo Feng's style has hardly changed.
Guo Feng came from an artistic family, began to learn piano at the age of 3, and at the age of 18 he was already a teacher at the Sichuan Art School, and later he was transferred to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and began to transform from a pianist to a musician.
In 1986, Guo Feng created "Let the World Be Full of Love", sung by hundreds of singers at the same time, after which the song almost swept through many large-scale public welfare activities, and also touched countless listeners, in terms of talent and status in the singing industry at that time, Guo Feng was enough to compete with Liu Huan.
Guo Feng's peak era was in the 90s, although in that era of idolism, Guo Feng's image did not conform to the aesthetics of the time, but he attracted a large number of listeners with his musical talent.
Nowadays, when I see Guo Feng, I am on the stage of various condolence performances, in the ever-changing entertainment circle, people pay less and less attention to him, and he who was once talented compared with Liu Huan is now very different from Liu Huan.
There is no shortage of rappers in today's pop circle, who are often active in major variety shows, such as the recent GAI and Ouyang Jing, hot dogs and other stars, who have gained a lot of attention in "Cutting Thorns", in fact, Yin Xiangjie is also a rapper before singing "The Love of the Tracker", and has also released his own rap album.
Originally his dream was to become Cui Jian in the rap industry, but he did not expect that his rap works were not hot, a song "The Love of the Tracker" was widely circulated, at that time, the popularity of this song at the party was no less than the current "China New Rap", in the spring evening of 1995, Yin Xiangjie sang "There is a sun on the sky when it does not rain or wind", which completely changed the original intention of rapping.
Originally, he could also be like his old partner Yu Wenhua, relying on a song "The Love of the Tracker" to continue to be popular in the major parties, and now he is also an old artist, but who knows that in 2015, he was arrested twice for smoking D, and the former hip-hop pioneer instantly fell off the altar, and his singing career was also drawn to an end.
In the spring evening of 1993, Mao Ning became popular all over the country with a song "Tao Sheng Is Still The Same", and 6 years later, Zhao Benshan also quoted the lyrics in "Tao Sheng Still" in his sketch, which was still liked by many audiences, enough to see how popular Mao Ning was in the 90s.
93 years later, Mao Ning for 8 consecutive years on the Spring Festival Gala, the four major singers in the mainland, including his position, at that time he was also known as the "mainland version of the dawn" because of his handsome appearance, he also formed a "golden boy and jade girl" group with Yang Yuying, and the "Heart Rain" they sang was a KTV must-order golden song at that time, but unfortunately, the golden boy and jade girl of the song world could not come together in real life.
In 2000, Mao Ning's career in the street assassination case plummeted, and Yang Yuying was also implicated in Lai's case, and the careers of the two in the entertainment industry were not as good as before, until 2015, Mao Ning was arrested by the police for smoking D, and after that he had no chance to appear in the entertainment industry.
"The wanderings miss you outside, dear mother."
A "Wandering Song" of that year sang the nostalgia of all the foreigners, but Chen Xing, who sang the song, has always been a state of song redness, when Chen Xing poured out all his family's savings in order to release this song, but after the final release of the song, there was no news, until a few months later, after returning to his hometown, he learned the news that the song was popular.
At that time, the country's large and small radio and radio stations will play this "Wandering Song", Chen Xing also exploded, and then more record companies found him to sing for him, and later Chen Xing published another classic, similar to "Wandering Song", called "The Child Who Left Home", Chen Xing also continued his "wandering" career, but after entering the 21st century, the Internet and communication gradually became popular, nostalgia is no longer strong, and he gradually left everyone's sight by selling homesickness.
After Chen Xing began to decide to transform, he announced his conversion to the "Three Treasures" and created a lot of songs about Buddhism, but it was relatively niche, and now Chen Xing also opened his own short video account and began to share the songs he created for fans.
