A star from grassroots to explosive, from the obscurity of the record newcomer, to even Maggie Cheung can only become a cameo role in his mv.
Overnight, gongming flocked to push a newcomer singer to the top of the Chinese music scene. This singer is Wang Jie, once the top singer in the whole Southeast Asian region, and few people remember his name in today's changing times.
Beginning with Wang's birth in 1962, it revolves around the sharp contradictions contained in his entire family of origin. Unfortunate people heal their childhood all their lives, and Wang Jie happens to be a typical representative of this phenomenon.
In the interview, Wang Jie once said: From the beginning of his memory, the most common voice around him in the family was the quarrel and beating of his parents. Then there's the simple way of educating, using violence against a child who makes a mistake, and sometimes the source of this complaint may simply be his parents' bad mood.
Because of this, Wang Jie did not invest too much trust in his feelings and family, and he used the image of the prodigal son to the public from the beginning, perhaps this is also his protective color for himself.
Without the love of his parents, he scolded with his mouth open and reached out to beat this hellish life until Wang Jie was 12 years old, which was the parents' dangerous marriage relationship had been completely broken, and Wang Jie had to start studying in boarding school.
Perhaps for Wang Jie, this is a good way to get rid of pain, when he left home, instead of nostalgia for the family, he felt relieved. He began to break away from his miserable family of origin, no longer having to face his parents who quarreled all day, and his father, who often abused him.
This peaceful life of leaving the family continued until he was 14 years old.
In this year, Wang Jie participated in the public welfare performance organized by the school, and when he stood on the performance stage of the orphanage, he suddenly realized that the childhood he had walked through was no different from these abandoned children. Maybe some orphans are better off, at least they won't be scolded for no reason, and they won't be intimidated by their original families.
The scars he had once buried were lifted again, and he realized his unsociables and once again fell into isolation.
The shadow of childhood will follow a person's life, wang jie in the next few decades, he built his own hard shell again and again, trying to isolate himself from the world, he did not trust anyone for a long time, which may be fundamentally due to his family not giving him the slightest trust.
No matter how light and breezy the surface is, this pain will always be deep in his heart, becoming an indelible shadow when he dreams back in the middle of the night. Unfortunate experiences may be diluted, but never leave the human subconscious, which sets the tragic tone for his life.
As the saying goes, things must be reversed, and the same applies to luck. Wang Jie's first half of life was low to the bottom, but by the time he was 25 years old, he completely bottomed out.
In 1987, an obscure record label signed Wang Jie, and no one had any expectations for the singer who was dug up on the street, and at best he was a newcomer in the company who could be pulled to charge.
The record company casually stuffed the remaining lyrics of other people's choices to Wang Jie, perhaps Wang Jie just habitually and seriously put into a job, but God chose to pity him this time.
Wang Jie's records exploded 18 million copies in Southeast Asia, and the whole of Taiwan and Hong Kong became a sensation for him, and he alone won the sales of records in both places.
After the explosion, countless agents and record companies flocked to him, and in this prosperity, Wang Jie felt a sense of alienation that did not belong to him.
He didn't want to live a life of admiration, and he didn't want to expose everything he had to the public and be pointed out by others. The label of fake Qinggao was almost immediately attached to him, and now that he thinks about it, Wang Jie rejected those people because none of them really understood his feelings.
If he is not understood and put in the public eye, he is bound to be excluded by the worldly people. After that, every time we needed to attend a musical event, we could always see him crowded out on the periphery, and he seemed to be the only one who was out of place on this lively occasion.
In the warm atmosphere of the celebration, he was alone in occupying a corner, and the music circle at that time could not tolerate such a pure self of the musicians.
Wang Jie's musical style is too strong, just like his own personality.
His tone was high-pitched and sad, and every sound carried the shadow of his past suffering.
This endless echo can easily elicit an echo from the audience, and we can get a strong resonance from his tune, as if we went through those sad and difficult years with him.
Each of his songs is extremely distinctive, and each song is written with his unique personal label. Because of this, Wang Jie will become a masterpiece in the history of music.
Fate is the most elusive thing in life, and we can often glimpse an unpredictable change in a person's fate as a result of meeting a special person or one thing.
A person can not be independent of the crowd forever, he always has to rely on others to survive in this group, if the group refuses to accept him, then no matter how good his personal ability is, he will not become the center of the crowd.
Wang Jie almost fell out of the music scene several times, because of his arrogant and uninhibited personality, but also because of his disdain for the pompous and exaggerated Chinese music scene in the Hong Kong circle at that time.
Then a man appeared, like a beam of light illuminating his future.
This person is Zhang Guorong, before getting to know Wang Jie, Zhang Guorong was already the biggest star in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry. Whenever Zhang Guorong appeared on the occasion, Wang Jie was also trying, and he would always push Wang Jie from the corner to the center of the crowd and let him stand next to him. What kind of luck and ability does it take to be appreciated by such a confidant?
When Zhang Guorong is around, Wang Jie will not be criticized by anyone, nor will anyone bully and exclude him as before.
As long as Zhang Guorong is there, Wang Jie's face is always smiling, this friendship has nothing to do with class and fame and fortune, two souls who appreciate and understand each other recognize each other through all the troubles of the world, this kind of interaction is enviable and cannot be copied. In the end, Wang Jie's life was only Zhang Guorong.
Whether in private or in public, Wang Jie and Zhang Guorong's relationship is very close.
Zhang Guorong did not hesitate to introduce his personal connections to Wang Jie, even including Mei Yanfang, the film diva at that time. No matter how long it took, Wang Jie recalled this period of time and always burst into tears. Perhaps Zhang Guorong gave him not only friendship, but also family affection, and Wang Jie lacked this feeling of care for him from others since he was a child.
In each interview, Wang Jie would mention that the time with Zhang Guorong was the happiest time of his life. With close friends who can talk to each other and family members who can understand each other, Zhang Guorong is also a mentor and a friend to Wang Jie.
In 2017, Wang Jie sang Zhang Guorong's "Star" with deep feelings at his last concert. We seem to see the end of an era, once two superstars of the times, when their rays collided together, emitted brilliant and brilliant fireworks, the only pity is that this feeling is fleeting, after Zhang Guorong left, no one again complained about Wang Jie's misfortune.
In the interview, when the host mentioned Zhang Guorong again, Wang Jie burst into tears, the person who understood him the most in his life left like this, no one was willing to re-protect himself like him, exclusion and gossip became more and more intense, but for Wang Jie, these are no longer important, and the affection he got is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the first half of his life.
In 2005, for Wang Jie, he suffered a devastating blow in his life.
Due to the rejection of the company's hype was maliciously hidden.
If Wang Jie wants to take the road of comeback, he will have to go through many difficulties and obstacles. When Wang Jie finished a business performance, he casually drank a cup of coffee handed over by his assistant.
That night, he felt extremely unwell, his entire throat swollen and nearly silent, and after the emergency hospital, the doctor told him a thunderbolt on a sunny day: this cup of coffee contained mercury, don't sing, I'm afraid he won't even be able to say it smoothly in the future.
Since then, Wang Jie's voice has begun to become hoarse, and the way he was once proud of singing no longer belongs to him, which is a devastating blow to any singer, enough to destroy all his dignity and self-confidence.
It may be a premeditated revenge, or it may simply be driven by ordinary jealousy. After a long investigation, Wang Jie found the real culprit, but he chose to refuse to disclose it, and calmly told the masses that since I could not recover, I would not ruin the future of a young man for this reason.
How can we let go of this hatred? We don't know, but it's also in line with his usual style, he never cared about these smoke clouds, perhaps for him, chasing fame and fortune in the music world is tired enough.
People can not understand this look down, a rumor spread around, began to speculate that this matter from the beginning to the end is Wang Jie's self-directed self-acting, the reporter has repeatedly asked Wang Jie to give a reply, asking him to publish the name of the poisoner or admit that this matter is his own doing, Wang Jie laughed, unwilling to say more about this matter.
Since then, the king of song has fallen, he no longer has the fame of the year, nor does he have his proud own conditions, and what seems to be left behind is only the illusion that has not been broken after a dream of Huang Liang. It wasn't until four years later, at the age of 47, that he reappeared in front of the public eye, perhaps just to give an account to his fans.
How to reconcile with the pain of life? Probably Wang Jie wants this answer more than ordinary people, he has tried again and again, and then failed one after another, neither feelings nor family have been able to give him any so-called dependence. Love was like a bubble illusion to him, fleeting at the touch of a button. A few times I thought I had found a good person, but the result was just a self-deceptive deception. Fate has repeatedly tricked him, and he has now learned to face the doom in his life calmly.
Wang Jie chose to accept himself, from his debut to the present, his choice has never changed, accepting his inability to change things, accepting the betrayal that appears in love, accepting the departure of friends, accepting the absence of fame, and accepting the disappearance of his proud ability.
It is difficult to judge whether these experiences are beneficial to him personally, and if he can be happy and well, who wants to be displaced?
No one wants to go through suffering, and someone once asked Wang Jie, didn't those sufferings make you stronger? But what is the point of this forced strength? He was a kid at the time, and what he needed was not to be strong, but to be safe.
The only one willing to understand him and help him had left, and he was still in tears when the name was mentioned again. If a person's life is a cold winter, he encounters a little warmth in the cold that is difficult to open his eyes, which will be a touch that he cannot forget in his life.
Sadness and loneliness set the tone for his creations, and people only saw him rise from suffering, holding his head high in Hong Kong capital, people praised his talent, marveled at his brilliance, but never thought that he could not have experienced all this suffering. Poor soil, watered with bitter water, will only blossom into unavoidable flowers and grow painful fruits.
If Heaven gives Wang Jie a chance to choose, perhaps he will give up all his talents to choose a happy and beautiful family, a lover who understands himself thoughtfully, a friend who can become a confidant with himself, can talk about everything, and can support each other. In his life, he only had the latter, and the latter left him early.
If Zhang Guorong is still there, he probably won't encounter the bumpy experience of the second half of his life. This tear is a remembrance and an acknowledgement. If Zhang Guorong is still there, Wang Jie is still Wang Jie, not because Zhang Guorong has brought him a higher social status, but because he knows that he still has a friend to rely on.
