20 years ago, a group called "Women's Twelve Bands" suddenly flashed on the mainland's ** circle, and they perfectly interpreted what Jay Chou said "Hualiu is the top stream".
They are popular all over the country with their unique oriental style, which is not only popular in China, but also successfully goes abroad, and has won the warm love of the best markets in Japan, the United States and other places.
At the height of their careers, their annual income reached 1300 million.
People are dumbfounded and envious of such a powerful ability to attract gold.
Their future is favored by almost everyone, as their style is unique among the many bands.
However, soon after, the "Twelve Women's Bands" suddenly disappeared from people's field of vision, and they disappeared completely for a while.
Many people are confused and don't understand what happened to make them like this.
Why did their careers suddenly stagnate at their most glorious time?
More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and how are the members who were in the band live now?
The "Twelve Women's Bands" came to prominence in 2001, injecting new vitality into the Chinese folk music scene and bringing people a refreshing feeling.
Korean pop culture was all the rage in my country at that time, and the scene of many young people frantically chasing Japanese and Korean stars made Wang Xiaojin feel unable to sit idly by.
He was desperate to be able to do something to promote the traditional culture of our country.
He graduated from *** college and has a soft spot for folk music.
He believes that the traditions of our country should not be overwhelmed by Japan and South Korea, especially in the land of China, and the traditions should be valued, not abandoned.
So, he came up with the idea of cultivating a local national band.
Among the many applicants, he set his sights on the highly talented students of the ** college, and finally selected 12 outstanding students who are proficient in different ethnic musical instruments.
These 12 are not only outstanding in terms of image and temperament, but each of them has their own expertise in the field of national musical instruments.
If we can form a band, everyone will be able to play their role and play an emotional ** together.
In order to help them better integrate into this group, Wang Xiaojing spent more than half a year training them.
The most important thing is to get the twelve people familiar with each other and establish a tacit understanding.
After these 12 young and beautiful girls have lived together for a while, the strangeness of each other has indeed decreased, and they have begun to become more and more harmonious. When the time is ripe, Wang Xiaojin will push them to the market and play the main hit of Chinese style.
In October 2001, the Beijing Theatre held the first performance of the "Twelve Women's Orchestra".
Wang Xiaojin was just testing the waters and wanted to understand the audience's reaction, but he was very shocked.
When they appeared on the stage, they were dressed in traditional national costumes and holding various national musical instruments, which instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
Their performance won the applause of the audience after the ** sounded, and the performance was a great success.
This is a never-before-seen sight and is undoubtedly a model of successful innovation.
Since then, the 12th Women's Orchestra has performed well, and its career has flourished, and it has entered the track of rapid development.
They first appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2002, conquered the audience with a magical ensemble, and became a widely circulated topic overnight.
Their careers continued to climb and they also started a new chapter in their domestic tour.
Their ** will have a melodious melody and elegant moving, fully demonstrating the ingenious fusion of classical and modern elements, which makes the audience intoxicated and unforgettable.
On this modern stage, the 12th Women's Orchestra perfectly integrates the traditional culture of our country and thoroughly shows their "golden signboard".
They held a concert called "Miracle" in 2003, at the peak of their careers.
This time, the ** meeting was more lively than ever, and even the tickets were swept away, which made people have to marvel at their influence.
Even those professionals praised the performance of the "Twelve Women's Bands".
Their stage performances are different from simple national instrument performances or pop performances, but perfectly integrate the two to present a very shocking performance.
The 12 Women's Orchestra is so popular both inside and outside the industry that they continue to increase the number of performances and tour almost every day.
These 12 young girls didn't feel hard because of more than 20 performances a month.
They never tire of it, they are full of passion every time they stand on stage, and they show their worth under the gaze of the spotlight and the audience's expectation.
They train hard and reap flowers and honors every time.
The Women's Twelve Orchestra went from the beginning of the music scene to the peak in just one year.
However, as his achievements grew, so did his desire to let more people know about Chinese folk music.
In February 2003, they followed the leadership of the band's founder, Wang Xiaojin, to Japan, not satisfied with the development of China.
With their high popularity and wide popularity, they soon gained a firm foothold in the Japanese market.
They soon launched their first ** in Japan after signing a contract with Japan Co., Ltd.
It's surprising that the 12 Women's Bands are still so popular in a foreign country.
Many Japanese netizens left messages under their performances, some expressed their desire to learn Xi pipa, and sometimes mentioned that they wanted to buy Chinese pipa, constantly lamenting Chinese excellent skills.
In just two months, they set a new record for record sales in Japan, selling more than 1 million copies, much to the surprise of the Japanese.
Not only did they perform commercially, they created many original songs to better cater to the Japanese market.
Of course, they sing these songs in Japanese, so they are very popular with the Japanese people.
The time they spent in Japan was very successful, and they were even invited to participate in the Red and White Song Festival, which is the top event in Japan and has attracted much attention.
They then released a second album in the Japanese market, which was sold out by Japanese fans almost immediately, and continued to hold the top spot on the Japanese record charts.
The 12th Women's Orchestra has decided to continue its business in the international market because of the very promising development they have achieved in Japan.
This time, they turned their attention to the United States, and they also achieved great success, earning a place for Chinese folk music in the United States.
When they first entered the international market, they did not expect to be so popular.
In only two years, the Women's Twelve Orchestra has conquered foreign audiences with its strength, and its reputation has become famous, and it has also set an annual income of 1300 million yuan.
Their careers have been smooth sailing, and they have climbed to the top in a short period of time, which is really a miracle in the world.
However, the development of the 12th Women's Orchestra began to decline in 2005.
With the continuous emergence of contradictions within the team, their popularity and fame have not been as good as before.
The band has a total of 12 members, which is already more than many other bands.
Although they were both young girls, they each had different musical instruments, different singing styles, and had unique ideas when it came to their creations, so it was difficult to achieve a blend.
Although they quickly achieved impressive results and were supported by the company, it was all short-lived.
The constant display of their personalities has led to the team becoming more and more difficult to manage, which has directly led to a bottleneck in their careers.
They are particularly difficult to agree on when it comes to creation.
Although they pursue the same goal and hope that the band can develop better, every time they try to run in, they always end in failure.
They were anxious to see the band gradually lose its former glory, and this mood undoubtedly made it more difficult for them to create.
After one failure after another, some members gradually lost faith in the band.
They felt that the band had reached a bottleneck and that it would be difficult for them to succeed again. So they decided not to waste any more time in the band and look for other ways out.
Where the band went became a big problem for the agency, because after several veteran members left.
Because they don't want to give up easily, they inject fresh energy into the band, which means going through a new period of running-in.
However, it is not an easy task to grind in between the old and new members, and their level is also uneven.
Although they performed on stage, they had lost their original souls, and the audience had no interest in them.
They were in 2008, when they could not make progress abroad, they decided to return to China after the rise of Chinese style in the Chinese market.
However, despite their efforts to achieve brilliant results again, due to the emergence of talents from all over the country and the fact that they have lost their market competitiveness, it can only be a pipe dream in the end.
After more than two years of hard work, they were finally forced to give up.
The aura of the 12 women's orchestras gradually dissipated, and they gradually lost their voices in the ** world and became an existence that no one paid attention to.
The band didn't actually disband, although many viewers mistakenly thought they did.
They still perform, but they are all in some third- and fourth-tier small cities, and they are directly ignored by everyone.
They used to be so dazzling, and they have already achieved the pinnacle status in the domestic ** industry.
They chose to go abroad for fame and fortune, which led to the lack of competitiveness in the domestic market, and their development was much worse than before.
Their performance stage and costumes are quite rudimentary, compared to what they are now.
Although the audience was also in the audience, most of them just passed by in a hurry, and few people were willing to stay for a moment to focus on them.
If the domestic ** circle had developed steadily, not blindly pursuing the international market, but focusing on steady and steady development, then the career development of the Women's Twelve Orchestra would definitely have changed.
They have been brilliant and have been through periods of lows.
I hope they can persevere, find their original intentions, and continue to carry forward the traditions of our country, no matter what.
