Chopsticks Brothers: Fifteen Years of ** and Dreams.
The Chopsticks Brothers, a ** partner composed of Wang Taili and Xiao Yang, have gone through fifteen years of ups and downs, and their road to fame is full of luck and twists and turns. In 2005, the small boss Wang Taili met Xiao Yang, who was a senior at Beijing Film Academy, by chance. The two hit it off because of their common hobby and began to work together to shoot commercials. This cooperation not only allowed them to discover each other's enthusiasm for the best, but also made them irreversible friends.
The following year, in order to promote his CRBT business, Wang Taili decided to make another short film. They chose the challenging theme of the spoof blockbuster "Memoirs of a Geisha", directed by Xiao Yang, and Wang Taili was responsible for the creation. In 2007, the short film titled "Memoirs of a Male Geisha" was launched in a low-key manner. Although it was only 6 minutes, it quickly became popular on the Internet, and even won a bonus of 100,000 yuan from a certain platform. This marks the official establishment of the Chopsticks Brothers and also starts their dream journey.
After tasting the sweetness of success for the first time, the Chopsticks Brothers soon launched the short film "You Are in **", however, the ratings of this short film were not ideal, and even lost all the bonuses they earned before. At that time, Wang Taili, who was already 40 years old, was disheartened and had the idea of changing careers. However, fate hit them with a huge impact at this time. The news of the death of idol Michael Jackson spread all over the world, making Wang Taili recall his mediocre life, and he wrote gloomily: "Youth is like a rushing river, never returned, too late to say goodbye, only I am numb, without the blood of the year." ”
Faced with the difficulties of life and the loss of youth, Wang Taili and Xiao Yang decided to be impulsive and make a micro-film to commemorate their youth. That's where Oldboy came in. The original budget was 100,000 yuan for the shooting plan, but for various reasons the budget was exceeded, and the brothers had to borrow money while shooting, and the final cost reached 700,000 yuan. During the filming, Wang Taili's father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he had to take leave to go home to take care of his father. In front of the hospital bed, his father did not talk about his condition, but expressed his concern about Wang Taili. He advised his son: "Do something substantial, even if it's to fry fritters, you're too empty now." ”
Faced with debt-ridden filmmaking, an unknown future, and his father's worries, Wang Taili once again fell into confusion and loss. At one point, he wanted to give up all this, to work steadily, and no longer chase that unattainable dream. However, Xiao Yang stood up in time, and he encouraged Wang Taili: "The last time, you should realize your dream, otherwise you will regret it later." With Xiao Yang's encouragement, Wang Taili plucked up the courage and decided to return to his hometown to accompany his father as soon as he finished the rest of the filming. Xiao Yang understood his brother's hardships and pressure, and he worked desperately overtime to cut **, hoping to let him see this ** before his father died.
After countless hardships and efforts, "Old Boy" was finally officially released on October 28, 2010. This micro-film made by the Chopsticks Brothers has achieved a super high number of hits in just one month, and has become a truly "phenomenal" work.
With the success of "Oldboy", the names of the Chopsticks Brothers began to be known by more people. With 15 years of perseverance and hard work, they have proved that as long as they have dreams and determination, age and difficulties cannot stop them from chasing their dreams. Today, "Chopsticks Brothers" has become one of the most representative micro-film groups in China. Memories of Youth: The Legend of the Chopsticks Brothers and the Phoenix Legend.
In the Chinese music scene, the rise of the Chopsticks Brothers and the Phoenix Legend is like two clear streams, bringing endless surprises and touches to everyone. The development of these two groups has been full of challenges and tenacity, but they have also shown their own unique charms.
In 2010, the Chopsticks Brothers released their masterpiece "Old Boy". This song quickly became popular all over the Internet in just three days, making countless people immersed in the memories of youth. This also established the important position of the Chopsticks Brothers in the Chinese music scene and became a classic in the hearts of countless people. Immediately afterwards, they launched "Father" even more touching and tearful, and this song has become an eternal classic in the hearts of countless people.
However, behind success is always full of hardships. As time passed, the life trajectories of Xiao Yang and Wang Taili, two members of the Chopsticks Brothers, began to diverge. Xiao Yang has emerged in his acting career, while Wang Taili has gradually faded out of people's eyes and focused on creation. Although the outside world has speculated whether the chopsticks brothers have been disbanded, the two have always maintained a deep brotherhood and never gave up the pursuit of **.
At the same time, two members of the Phoenix Legend, Yang Wei Linghua and Zeng Yi, also went through a similar journey. As the soul of the group, Linghua has had ** dreams since she was a child, and Zeng Yi is her Bole. The two have gone through ups and downs for 16 years, and have always insisted on splitting accounts in five or five years, and there have never been disputes and scandals. Although the fame of the Phoenix Legend is not equal, their friendship has become a good story in the entertainment industry.
Whether it is the Chopsticks Brothers or the Phoenix Legend, they are all legends in the ** world. Their stories tell us that even in the face of difficulties and challenges, as long as we have dreams and beliefs, we will eventually usher in our own glorious moments. A long time ago, Zeng Yi met Linghua and another girl, and the three came together because of their common ** dream. They formed a small team, with Zeng Yi as the lead singer, Linghua in charge of the harmony, and the girl as the dancer. However, for a variety of reasons, this combination has not attracted much attention. Not long after, the girl chose to leave, leaving only Zeng Yi and Linghua to continue to hold on to their dreams.
They recalibrated their status, renamed the group "Cool Fire", and continued to work the road of **. After a few years, they gradually amassed some fame. In 2003, He Muyang, a ** person, invited them to sing a song "On the Moon" to fight against SARS. The song quickly became popular, and the boss of Guangdong Peacock Records also noticed them.
Peacock Records is very optimistic about Linghua, and proposed to spend 5 million to package her and make her a female version of Daolang. However, in the process of signing the contract, Linghua found that the company only wanted to sign her alone. She said firmly: "We are a group, we have to sign together, otherwise there is no need to talk." Peacock Records respected her decision and had to sign Zeng Yi at the same time.
Since then, their group has been renamed "Phoenix Legend", with Linghua as the lead singer and Zeng Yi in charge of the rap part. After signing the contract, they could only get a meager basic salary, and they could not take on commercial performances at will, and their lives were very difficult for a while. Zeng Yi borrowed money from everywhere, and every time he would give half of it to Linghua. This went on for almost two years.
Until 2005, Phoenix Legend participated in the "Avenue of Stars" and became a nationally renowned singer overnight. Their songs such as "Free Flying" and "The Most Dazzling Folk Style" have become classics, and almost everyone can hum a few lines.
However, there are many people who are popular. Some people are upset about Zeng Yi because he has fewer lyrics, thinking that he should not share the income equally with Linghua. In this regard, Linghua always said firmly: "Zeng Yi lent me money when I was poor, and now that I have made money, we should also split the account." This kind of sobriety and empathy is deeply admirable.
Also worthy of admiration is SHE. The group of three girls has lived in harmony since their debut and has never had any arguments. In 2000, the singing competition held by China Television allowed them to meet. Selina competes in order to fulfill her sister's dream and Hebe to win prize money to support her family, and the fate of the three begins.
They stood out in the competition with their respective strengths and talents and formed SHE. United, the trio overcame various difficulties and challenges, and gradually made a name for themselves in the Chinese music scene. Whether it is the recording of ** or the live performance, they do every detail with their hearts, showing extraordinary strength and tacit understanding.
With the passage of time, SHE has become an idol and role model in the hearts of countless people. Their songs convey a message of camaraderie, courage and perseverance, inspiring people to keep moving forward. Whether in career or life, SHE has shown the spirit of unity, friendship and dedication, and has become an immortal legend.
In that era full of hope and challenges, Chen Baixiang, the former lead singer of the "Loser Band", decided to bid farewell to the ** stage and devote himself to the business sea because of his keen insight into business. And his old friends, although they regret his departure, also understand his decision. In this way, the band announced its disbandment and went their separate ways.
A few years later, when they got together again, it was because of a common goal: to reorganize the band, for friendship, for dreams, and for that love for **. They named the band "Wenner", which means that they will always maintain a gentle and affordable spirit.
When they returned to the stage, they cherished every opportunity to perform even more. Although there is no Chen Baixiang, they still insist on originality, with their profound skills and unique understanding of life, the works of the Wenna band have won the love of countless fans.
As time passed, the members of the band entered a new phase of their lives. Some people get married and have children, some continue their studies, and some devote themselves to public welfare. But they have always maintained that original intention, no matter how many twists and turns they encounter in life, they always believe that as long as friendship is there, Wenna is there.
In the ever-changing vanity fair of the entertainment industry, the Wenner band uses their friendship and talent to interpret a rare team spirit. Now that half a century has passed, their story is not only about **, but also about friendship, dreams and perseverance. In the world, a band is like a big family, sometimes together, sometimes separated.
The Wenner band, the name that came to prominence in the music scene in the '70s, went through a split and merger, with members coming in and out, and it wasn't until 1973 that it stabilized. They are double lead singers Alan Tam and Chung Chun-tao, guitarist Peng Jianxin, bass guitarist Yip Zhiqiang and drummer Chen You. They used to be the representatives of that era and the memories of countless people's youth.
The Winner Band's start was not without its challenges. In the early days, they mainly sang covers of foreign English songs, and with the rise of the HK Phil, they began to explore their own path, creating classics such as "Sha La La La" and "Unchanged for a Thousand Years". As is the usual practice in the entertainment industry, they also got involved in movies in addition to ** and starred in "Everyone's Happiness". Although the box office results were not satisfactory, this did not stop them from looking for new opportunities.
After 1975, they each developed in the entertainment industry and embarked on the path of solo flight, but this did not mean disbanding. They agreed to get together every 5 years, hold a concert and release a new **. Such an agreement has become a magical driving force in their careers, not only did not make their popularity decline, but made them more and more loved by people.
Alan Tam has achieved great success in singing and acting, and his name is on a par with Leslie Cheung, ushering in the era of "Tan and Cheung's hegemony". Zhong Zhentao has become a popular candidate for romance movies and comedies because of his tall and handsome image, and his acting skills have also been widely recognized. Chen You, on the other hand, turned director, and his film "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks" won Maggie Cheung her first actress award.
In 2006, the band Wenner announced their comeback, and their name once again set off a craze in the music scene. They held round after round of concerts, and this year they also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and their appearance brought the atmosphere to a climax. Today, the average age of the band has reached 70 years old, but they are still active on the stage, becoming the longest-lived and most enduring band in China.
In contrast, it's a completely different story. They are a breath of fresh air in rock 'n' roll, and the lyrics are full of positive energy, which is very different from the style of negative lyrics in many rock bands. Ashin, Monster, Martha, and Stone are all classmates in middle school and met in the guitar club.
Although they went to different universities, they still insisted on creating together**. In the end, they simply invited the landlord Guanyou to join the band and formed "Mayday", that is, *** Their songs not only have a distinct rock style, but also incorporate pop elements, attracting a large number of fans. ** It's been 25 years since the group, and their influence is still as strong as it was back then.
This enduring influence may stem from the positive energy in their lyrics and their persistent pursuit of **. The monster's screen name has made the name of a legendary group. In March 1997, the **debut** festival, the audience was very small, only 100 people. In order to prevent the theft of musical instruments, Ah Xin stayed at the scene and never left him. They did not expect that a concert would be held at the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing many years later, and the 120,000 seats at the venue were full, and it was difficult to find a ticket.
Ashin's creative talent and the deep friendship between the members of the group have won such brilliance. In 2003, the monster's mother became seriously ill, and the monster was tired of running between the hospital and practicing songs. Stone is well aware of the monster's plight, and resolutely moves all the recording equipment to a hotel near the hospital, so that the monster can work nearby so that he can spend more time with his mother.
When composing "Poems of Post-Youth", Ashin wrote words day and night, sleeping only two hours a day. Although the other members of the group were anxious, they never rushed Ashin. With each lyric, Martha and Monster immediately sang for Ashin, while the others concentrated on the soundtrack. It is this deep trust and tacit understanding that has given birth to so many touching lyrics and songs.
