Text/A bed of love letters
It is said that the money of entertainment stars comes quickly, and the remuneration is millions, tens of millions, and even hundreds of millions, but the 46-year-old Taiwanese female singer Lin Xiaopei is very miserable, according to her own exposure, recently she recorded a variety show on Hong Kong Wireless, and only got 17 yuan for the notice fee.
In June, Lin Xiaopei was invited to record wireless's "Fifty Years of Popular Classics", which recreated the famous masterpieces of that year, "Annoyance" and "Heartbeat", which were highly sought after by Hong Kong fans.
According to her, after recording the program, Wireless only paid HK$100 (about S$17) for the announcement fee, and other expenses (including round-trip airfare, hotel accommodation, makeup and hair, and assistant expenses) were all paid out of her own pocket, so when Wireless invited her to record the program for the second time, she had to politely refuse, because she really could not accept the reverse posting program.
As we all know, wireless is notoriously low-paid treatment, not to mention the low fee for guest notices, that is, in wireless hard work for more than 10 years or even longer, xiaosheng Huadan can only get a salary of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, resulting in many small students huadan terminating their contracts and transferring to the mainland for development, or being forced to change careers, or engaging in second-class subsidies for families, and even some artists are discouraged to have no money to bury their mothers and rely on friend relief to survive.
But Lin Xiaopei also do not blame the wireless "gadget", first of all, this show positioning is very low, specifically looking for some singers who have disappeared from the music scene for a long time (many have changed their careers), let them sing on stage, in addition, Lin Xiaopei would not have been so depressed, helpless 12 years ago a drunk driving but let her be discredited, a first-line singer became the object of scorn, fell to the trough of life is difficult to turn over.
In 2007, after Lin Xiaopei and his friends drank and reveled in a nightclub, an unlicensed drunk driver killed a female nurse surnamed Lin, and the deceased lived in the same alley as her, due to the understanding of the deceased's family, coupled with Lin Xiaopei's willingness to compensate for all the expenses, and finally obtained a light sentence (50 days in prison and 6 months in prison).
Although reconciled with the family of the deceased, but the drunk driving collision incident has caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, Lin Xiaopei's image was destroyed, her career was seriously frustrated, half of the albums recorded could not continue to be recorded, other work was also suspended, and it was not too much to describe her as "discredited".
What's more tragic is that due to the condemnation of conscience, Lin Xiaopei's depression recurred, and she was miserable all day, in order to repay the compensation of the nurse surnamed Lin, Lin Xiaopei was forced to treat depression while wildly soliciting commercial performances, and even some small county and small shopping mall activities were not spared, even so, she still spent 11 years to pay off all debts.
Veteran fans know that Lin Xiaopei was a masterpiece before the accident, and was discovered in 1998, with his debut album "Shino Lin Xiaopei", he became a blockbuster, and has won many awards such as the Best Newcomer Award of the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, and the main song "Annoyance" has become a classic in the music industry.
Then Lin Xiaopei won the award with a song "Heartbeat", swept the major KTV hot lists, and had the reputation of the queen of the golden songs of the times, the media praised her as a powerful talented woman with excellent singing and composition, how to expect a car accident to ruin her life.
For 11 years, she did not appear in the mainstream music scene, and no new works were launched, so Lin Xiaopei's comeback road was difficult, the biggest difficulty was the problem of funding, because she had been paying off her debts for the first eleven years, she had no savings at all, resulting in the release of new songs when she could not even get out the publicity fee of NT$100,000.
It is reported that now Lin Xiaopei intends to record Taiwan's local variety shows, until the economy improves before considering the release of records, even so, in the face of newcomers, music genre diversification of the music scene, Lin Xiaopei wants to counterattack again, and how easy it is to talk about ah!
