"Prosperity must decline" is an old Chinese proverb, as early as more than ten years ago, when people were still using PHS mobile phones, there have been popular singers across the country.
People who were once hot in the ** world have now become ordinary people, reduced to a minority, and are involved in right and wrong. They have written popular songs, but some have been defrauded of millions of dollars, some have fallen into mental illness, and some have repeatedly suffered setbacks and finally chose to quit ......the entertainment industry
The best confidence of a star is popularity, but when the popularity is high, some people will praise it and some people will depreciate it. After all, there are very few successful people, what is holding them back?
As soon as the lyrics of "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Gorgeous" came out, it immediately attracted the judges of "Avenue of Stars", making "Sheep Baby" stand out, surpassing the Phoenix Legend in the finals, and making Po a "superstar" in China.
He made tens of millions of dollars at once through various ways such as receiving commercial performances, receiving advertising endorsements and performing on stage. The identity of the "sheep herding baby" packaged by him himself is also very popular. How did Po get on the road to success?
Bao's original name was Zhang Shaochun, born in Datong, Shanxi Province in 1969, and his parents were both workers. Under the influence of the policy at that time, he was sent back to his hometown in Hebei to be cared for by his grandparents until he could go to primary school.
The tavern is near Po's elementary school, and people often sing there. Po often went to listen to songs, and gradually developed a strong interest in singing.
After Po entered junior high school, he often participated in school singing activities. As an only child, his parents were very supportive of his interests and hobbies, and even enrolled him in art school. However, in the end, due to his grades, he was impersonated and failed to enter the art school.
A teenager's love for his hobbies should never be underestimated. When Po was fifteen years old, he asked his parents for travel expenses, and then went to Beijing alone to prepare for the *** college. Unfortunately, he missed this opportunity due to his age not being requirementary.
Despite this, Po did not give up his efforts in his career, he actively performed songs in various venues, and also signed up for a number of talent shows.
While making money, you also accumulate reputation. At that time, Ah Bao was not very famous, but he could earn thousands of yuan by singing in one night, which was equivalent to nearly half a year's salary of an ordinary worker.
Finally, Po ushered in an opportunity to make him popular throughout China.
However, Po repackaged himself this time.
With the blessing of his special status, Po is smooth sailing. He swept the weekly championship, the monthly championship and the championship of the finals, and successfully defeated the equally powerful Phoenix legend to win the opportunity to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.
But this victory only defeated the Phoenix Legend.
Ah Bao and Phoenix Legend both launched their own solo singles after the competition, but Phoenix Legend's songs soared all the way and became "Free Flying", "The Most Dazzling National Style" and so on. In contrast, Po's single was not popular, and in the subsequent shows, Po intentionally or unintentionally made some remarks such as "to destroy the Phoenix Legend".
It's a pity that the audience no longer accepts Bao's folk style. As a result, he was forced to change his style to heavy metal, but still couldn't get back to the top.
Po's success depends on his fiction of his own identity, which includes the so-called poor identity of the "sheep herding baby" and the poor background of not being able to go to school.
In an interview, singer Heng Yue was asked by the host how he met Po. Heng Yue replied that he met Ah Bao when he sang at the Shenzhen Running Ground. But Ah Bao firmly denied it: "You can't say that to the outside world, you have to remember that I am a sheep herder in a ravine." ”
Due to identity fraud, many brands that have cooperated with Bao have announced the termination of cooperation, which makes Bao also suffer from the "**" in his life
Since then, Po has remained silent, and his subsequent performances have been bland and did not cause much repercussions.
This song is a collection of R&B, new metal, British rock, country heavy metal and other ** styles, performed by ** genius Pang Meilang, and became popular as soon as it was launched.
The song was rated as "Top 20 Golden Songs of 2014" at the first independent ** inventory, and this song "My Skateboarding Shoes" is no exception.
Pang Mailang became famous with this song, but unfortunately, he can only be remembered for this song.
After becoming famous, Pang Mailang chose a resounding name for himself"Joseph Han, Pommerang"to show a change in one's identity.
Pang Mailang, formerly known as Pang Mingtao, is an ordinary person who grew up in the countryside. However, this person who is supposed to live an ordinary life has an extraordinary dream: "I want to be a ** family, to be an artist, this is my dream." ”
Despite growing up in the countryside, Pang Meilang has insisted on writing and singing songs since he was a child.
He had worked as a coolie on a construction site, cut fruit in a KTV and served plates in a restaurant, and although he had no income, Pang Mai Lang found pleasure in it.
Pang Meilang originally lived a dull working life, until he heard Michael Jackson's song by chance, and he germinated his dream of becoming a star.
Like Michael Jackson, Pang Meilang was born from the grassroots and has the best talent.
After learning that after becoming a star, the songs he composed would be sold for more than 100,000 songs, Pang Mailang quickly bought a train ticket to Beijing.
Although Pang Meilang has a pious heart for ** creation, he still can't avoid the fate of **.
After coming to Beijing, Pang Mailang was successively defrauded of a lot of funds by several so-called ** companies, until he participated in the talent show held by Huashu Company, and he became popular overnight with an extremely popular song "My Skateboard Shoes"!
With the funding of Fame and Wasu Company, Pang Mailang's "My Skateboarding Shoes" was sung in all corners, and he finally realized his dream and became a well-known star.
Pom's hit single set off a skateboarding craze, with some describing the song as "like a resounding slap in the face that left a deep mark on the Chinese music scene." ”
However, a poor boy who has never met suddenly becomes the focus of everyone's attention. This sudden enthusiasm made him feel flattered and cramped.
Therefore, he changed his real name and took a so-called international name, precisely because of this uneasiness and inferiority.
At the same time, I also made up my mind not to admit my relationship with my parents in the countryside because I felt too inferior to myself as a rural person and worried that they would not be willing to cooperate with me, who was born in the countryside.
Pang Meilang seems to have become accustomed to being deceived, so he no longer trusts everyone who comes to him, he fears that they will turn their backs on him as before, and he even wonders if all this is just a dream he has weaved.
Caught up in the flood of collaboration invitations, interview requests, and commercial performances, he was almost out of breath. CCTV's "Let's Talk" once sent him an invitation, but he politely refused;And the major variety shows also expressed their intention to cooperate, but they were all rejected by Pang Mailang one by one.
Bai Xiao, as Pang Meilang's agent, also has his own ** dream, so he sincerely plans activities for Pang Meilang.
When Pang Mailang's reputation was at its peak, Bai Xiao prepared a concert for him. Pang Mailang has been carried away and said that his concert tickets will be priced at 1,000 yuan each.
Bai Xiao is well versed in the internal rules of the entertainment industry, so a conflict broke out with Pang Meilang when the ticket price was pressed to 500 yuan a piece. Subsequently, Pang Mailang sang falsetto in a commercial performance and fell into the ** whirlpool again.
Pang Mailang was exhausted and felt overwhelmed by the various rules and demands of this circle.
He gradually withdrew. In 2021, the stressed Pang Mailang was exposed by his agent Bai Xiao and was diagnosed with severe mental illness.
After Pang Meilang was discharged from the hospital, he signed a contract with a live broadcast company. From singing every day in the past, to selling oranges every day.
Pommelon didn't have sales skills, but was good at mechanically saying "let's order" repeatedly, and he also learned to filter out bad remarks and start singing as soon as he saw comments on a song he wanted to hear.
Pang Mailang may have hidden his inner loneliness and confusion, but fortunately, he has only one thing from beginning to end: singing. Perhaps for Pang Mailang, the current situation is both stable and comfortable.
Yang Chengang once contributed 1With an income of 700 million, it should have a bright future, but it suffered the misfortune of being defrauded of the whole family's property.
In 2003, Yang Chengang became popular on the streets with a song "Mice Love Rice", and his income set a Guinness World Record.
It's been two decades since the song came out, but now it doesn't seem to be as popular as it was back then. We can say that singer Yang Chengang's current situation is a little embarrassing.
In 1979, Yang Chengang was born in Wuhan, Hubei. He showed great talent and strong interest in ** since he was a child, and won the second prize of Wuhan Harmonica at the age of 16.
While he taught himself guitar, Yang Chengang's juvenile life was accompanied by ** almost every day.
Yang Chengang formed a band with friends in college and performed everywhere in Wuhan. After graduation, he went to Wuhan ** College for further study.
He usually stays with the band members, and occasionally goes to the Wuhan Children's Palace to teach the children ** knowledge. It can be said that Yang Chengang's life is inseparable from **.
In the end, a song "Mice Love Rice" broke the peaceful life. Although the song was not original by Yang Chengang, his rendition made it famous in one fell swoop.
"Mice Love Rice" was particularly popular in the era of vigorous development in the early days of the Internet, and became popular overnight on major ** platforms, with up to 200,000 searches per day and a single month** reaching one million.
Yang Chengang's reputation quickly surpassed Daolang and Jay Chou, and was praised by many netizens as "Daolang's second". At the same time, Yang Chengang also achieved 1700 million in earnings, breaking the Guinness World Record.
Yang Chengang felt a little helpless after suddenly gaining a large fortune, because he was not well-known and needed to quickly increase his popularity.
Yang Chengang actually knew that he was more suitable for behind-the-scenes work, so he was not interested in all kinds of work in front of the stage. However, in order to have a better future development, he had to start looking for a record company.
Yang Chengang was found by a self-proclaimed record investor, who promised to take care of the work in front of the stage, but asked him to take out some money to cooperate first. Because he had just entered the society and was confused and uneasy, Yang Chengang chose to believe him without hesitation. It's a bit like rushing to the doctor.
As a result, Yang Chengang handed over all his savings, real estate and property to **, and became nothing overnight. Coupled with the rise of the Internet, the continuous emergence of Internet singers made him disappear in an instant.
Yang Chengang originally did not intend to sing in public, he gradually withdrew from the entertainment industry, and now he has completely returned to ordinary life and family.
Perhaps the greatest happiness now is the deep love between husband and wife and the well-behaved daughter.
As the saying goes, all three singers fell into a trough at the peak of their careers. Maybe it's bad luck, or maybe it's a trick of fate, but after all, he is indecisive in the face of success and loses his due concentration.
However, they are all people with real talents, and they have real talents and real learning.
Yang Kun once complained that the current ** has regressed for more than ten years, and now the era of saliva songs and tailor songs is flourishing, which may explain why the former ** genius has been overshadowed.
