In 2001, a ** producer named Wang Xiaojing appeared.
The 12 female members make up the "Twelve Women's Bands", who were raised by bankrupt families.
I wholeheartedly hope to integrate the national style into the daily life of the people.
He really triggered a strong national wind ** craze at that time, not to mention.
But surprisingly.
He and his team were at the height of their prosperity and were deeply loved by the Chinese people, but they went to Japan in obscurity.
Netizens said that these people have noble feelings, and they hope to spread China** abroad.
There are also some netizens who claim that their purpose is just to make money, not only to earn money from domestic users, but also to think about how to make a fortune from foreign users.
Why did the original "Twelve Women's Bands" choose to leave?
Now, why can't the "Twelve Women's Bands" return to their former glory?
In order to figure out these things, we must start with Wang Xiaojing......
Hualiu is the most powerful!
After 1999, the wind of Japanese and Korean audio-visual surged in and swept in.
Many young men and women fanatically follow and worship the Japanese and Korean Wave**, and they are in the thousands.
In this case, some Chinese who know how to do or who do not know how to do are inspired, and they are not to be outdone, but they begin to lift their spirits and carry forward the fighting spirit of national music.
A new craze for folk music was set off in Beijing, which spread rapidly.
At that time, the ** called this phenomenon the New Folk Music Movement.
As a representative of the Chinese pop music scene, Wang Xiaojing was deeply influenced by this movement.
Born in 1957, Wang Xiaojing was an important promoter of the early Chinese music scene.
He is the creator of China's first true rock compilation "Rock Beijing".
He is the driving force behind Cui Jian's push from Beijing's underground ** circle to the ground.
With Cui Jian's assistance, he successfully completed his first solo ** meeting and national tour.
He was the agent Cui Jian cooperated with at the earliest, and he also released the second personal ** "Solution".
Wang Xiaojing has brought great popularity to many Chinese singers.
For example, "I Will Never Understand Your Tenderness" released in 1993** made Chen Lin an instant hit.
In addition, he discovered Luo Qi, guided the appearance of Yunzi, and directed the Compass Band's ......
Influenced by the New Folk Music Movement, since the turn of the millennium.
In his early years, Wang Xiaojing had the ambition of introducing the national style into the mainstream circle, and this idea became stronger and stronger when he was engaged in the first work.
He hopes that Chinese music can be deeply loved by the Chinese people, and he is more willing to let the world listen to it and understand the unique and elegant beauty of China.
Maybe many ** people will have this kind of wish.
For example, Jay Chou has repeatedly emphasized on many occasions: "The best thing is still Hualiu!."”
Wang Xiaojing began to act because he not only has ideals, but also has the strength to make them a reality.
The decision to form a pure band that would make people feel the unique charm of China as soon as they heard it was a well-thought-out conclusion.
Ideas germinate, through inner ideas, transformed into plans on paper, and finally put into practical planning.
In May 2001, Wang Xiaojing officially announced the plan to establish the "Twelve Women's Orchestra" and began to recruit members.
For a month, he didn't do anything else, just to assess and screen the girls who came to sign up.
They are graduates from China's ** colleges, ** colleges, ** nationalities university, PLA Academy of Arts and other institutions, and this is in June.
13 ** high-quality girls, she is good at playing a variety of different musical instruments, which made Wang Xiaojing impressed and recognized her.
The "Twelve Women's Orchestra" was officially established, including 12 regular members and 1 erhu substitute.
The small group has been formed, and the next task is to get the members of the group familiar with each other.
Under Wang Xiaojing's leadership, each of the 12 girls moved into the same apartment with their own musical instruments.
See each other, day and night, get to know each other deeply, run in with each other, and promote the cultivation of feelings.
With the assistance of several professionals, play instruments and ** blend at the same time.
After more than 3 months of training, all members have passed the tacit understanding and knowledge assessment.
In October 2001, Wang Xiaojing almost bought all this at the cost of ruining his family.
The first special performance of "Charm" of the "Women's Twelve Orchestra" started as scheduled.
The "Twelve Women's Orchestra" is different from the current popular Japanese and South Korea**, they use national instruments to perform, but they do not make the performance introverted and subtle.
They combine pop elements such as Latin, rock, and jazz with Chinese traditions**.
presented a passionate new feast of national style.
I've never heard a guzheng play pop music in the past, and I've never conveyed the feeling of jazz through the flute.
At the ** meeting, a new form of folk music expression shocked countless audiences.
The debut of the "Women's Twelve Orchestra" has stimulated the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for the tradition, and has received a great response.
These 12 girls can be said to have reached the top as soon as they debuted!
Successfully entered the overseas market.
Wang Xiaojing and his band members gained absolute confidence from this good start.
They stood on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in February 2002, and the audience cheered for them.
In this grandest star-studded place, CCTV Spring Festival Gala debuted.
The fame of the 12 Women's Bands is like a fierce wind, quickly sweeping the country.
The fame quickly expanded, and all kinds of performances came one after another.
"Women's Twelve Orchestra" was a well-deserved popular star in 2002 and attracted much attention.
They are favored by the Chinese people and are willing to receive various forms of support.
They also frequently appeared on the stage of major award ceremonies, and the number of honors they received has been countless.
I heard that that year, the band's annual income had reached 1.3 billion.
The mystery is so hidden that it's confusing.
The "Twelve Women's Orchestra" is booming in the country, and its reputation is far-reaching.
Suddenly, Wang Xiaojing made a decision: to take the music fang to Japan!
Acting quickly is an inevitable step after a decision.
In February 2003, Wang Xiaojing signed a contract with Japan's Platia Co., Ltd., agreeing to jointly operate the "Twelve Women's Orchestra" in the future.
Before the Chinese people could react, in July of the same year, the ** of the "Women's Twelve Orchestra" was listed and released in Japan.
10,000 copies were sold every day, and sales exceeded 1 million copies in two months.
This achievement not only set the highest record in the history of Japanese instrumental music single disc release, but also created the highest record in the history of China's ** overseas distribution.
This year,"Women's Twelve Bands"He has won two consecutive awards in the Japanese ** industry and has become famous.
How can the country remain silent about such a huge movement?
Netizens said that after the news came back, they thought that this matter was really great and could add glory to the Chinese.
Perhaps the "Twelve Women's Bands" are expected to hit the Chinese market and bring China** overseas like the Japanese Korean Wave.
However, the attitude of many netizens is not friendly, they think that it is just a way to go abroad to make money, wearing a high hat of "spreading culture".
Their songs have not attracted much attention in China, but they have begun to appeal to foreigners, which is unpleasant.
In the beginning, the voices of polarization were not very strong.
Since 2004, the second ** of the "Twelve Women's Bands" has set a record as soon as it was released.
They then toured to more than 20 cities in Japan, followed by tours to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and Singapore.
The momentum is huge and surging.
People in China are more and more happy to support Chinese music to the international stage, but they feel more and more upset when they see domestic ** people making money overseas.
The reputation of "Women's Twelve Orchestra" is high and low, because the two voices are confronting.
However, this was not the root cause of the domestic controversy that led to the band's later rise and fall.
The "Twelve Women's Bands" started from China, passed through Japan and finally arrived in the United States, but they actually failed because of their own reasons.
In 2004, CNN invited the "Twelve Women's Band" to participate in the event in the United States.
During the event, a wonderful demonstration of Chinese musical instruments was performed, and the American audience was thrilled by its wonderful performance and applauded.
It made its mark on the American music scene, was a huge success on tour, and released ** to become a best-selling champion.
"Women's Twelve Bands" quickly gained a foothold in the Japanese market, and then successfully entered the mainstream market in the United States.
In many overseas countries such as Canada, more than 20 tours have been held for several consecutive years.
The busy schedule of the "Twelve Women's Orchestra" shows the spread of Chinese traditions abroad and the gradual increase in the number of audiences.
In 2008, he won the "Celebrity of the Year" award at the 5th Forbes China Celebrity List.
This band, which originated in China and once went to the world stage, suddenly disappeared from people's sight.
What is the reason for this?
The mind is uneven, and the flame is about to be extinguished.
There is an old proverb in the family: "When you are poor, you are united, when you are rich, you are scattered, and money cannot buy you together." ”
In 2001, when the 12th Women's Orchestra debuted, there were a total of 13 official members and substitutes, so it can be said that everyone has a very close relationship with each other.
Together, they experienced the apprehension of their early days and the excitement of their later flourishing.
The longing to go to Japan, the courage to enter the U.S. world, and the pride of gaining a firm foothold in the international market.
If you keep climbing, you will be able to achieve greater achievements, and the hearts that were once united will gradually disperse.
Wang Xiaojing's original intention of establishing the "Twelve Women's Orchestra" can be said to be the original motive.
It is hoped that China will be promoted to the mainstream field so that the whole world can enjoy it.
He and his band members have been working tirelessly to achieve this goal.
Now the situation is improving, the results are there, and the ideals are beginning to take shape, but the hearts of the band members are no longer the same.
One individual refused to comply with Wang's "command arrangement".
Not only do you want to go on tour to spread the word, but you also want to participate in countless commercial performances.
Later, another audience member began to think about the characteristics of each of the more than ten members of the band.
Why can't we promote teamwork while also giving everyone the opportunity to develop personally?
Then someone said that they have been engaged in national style for many years, and the audience may be tired of it.
It's time to introduce something fresh and they should bring a whole new experience ...... to their fans
Again, the old saying must be emphasized: "Three women in one play." ”
13 women get together, you come up with an idea, I suggest it the next day, but on the third day there are a few people who disagree.
Everyone has their own goals, and they all have their own plans and considerations.
Team members soon began to be suspicious of each other, which led to increasing conflicts, and the dissatisfaction with each other increased significantly, making it difficult to tolerate each other.
Wang Xiaojing behaved very decisively at that time, and immediately reduced or even stopped the frequency of the band's appearances on **.
In order to highlight the uniqueness and unity of the "Twelve Women's Bands".
She repeatedly stressed to the team that they should remember their original intentions.
After nearly a year of adjustment and running-in, in 2009, the "Twelve Women's Orchestra" gradually began to resume commercial performances.
Even without the action of an external force, a crack in the mirror can quietly cause it to disintegrate.
The six original members of the band announced their retirement at the end of 2010 because they did not agree with the company's philosophy, and then they formed their own "Le Li".
After the news spread, it caused an uproar among the public.
Wang Xiaojing's agent is in urgent need of recruiting new members to build the new 12 Orchestra.
*Which popular group in the circle can maintain its former glory after the change of members?
Queen had to change its lead singer as a last resort and has kept a low profile for many years since.
Su Jianxin left the Xin Orchestra, and the addition of new member Liu Wenjie failed to be accepted by fans.
The band had no less than 10 lead singers one after another, but unfortunately they failed to reproduce the glory of the "Dou Wei period".
And that once beloved f.i.R Fei'er Band.
After the departure of "Fei'er" lead singer Zhan Wenting, the team ushered in the addition of new lead singer Lydia.
No matter how beautiful she is, she will be ridiculed by netizens, and without the band of "Fei'er", it can only become an irretrievable youth memory.
The crowd worked silently, drowning in it.
It goes without saying that the "Twelve Women's Bands" profoundly embodies the charm of an original band.
Wang Xiaojing is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and agent.
When the new members joined, we were in no hurry to get them to participate in commercial performances and make a big splash about their existence.
Let the 12 official members work together again to develop a tacit understanding so that they can better understand each other's personalities and instruments.
Fans and listeners cannot be consumed perfunctorily with immature performances.
However, the "Twelve Women's Bands" have not been able to reach their peak again since then, and have begun to develop slowly and uneventfully.
It seems that "fate will come to an end" and fall from the peak.
The band's reorganization was originally opposed by many fans.
The new members each have their own unique personalities and styles, so it is impossible for them to imitate their predecessors in all aspects.
The audience began to question, pointing out that the "taste" of the "Twelve Women's Bands" had changed, the quality had decreased, and it didn't feel right.
Under the dual influence, the reputation of the "Twelve Women's Orchestra" plummeted.
Although Wang Xiaojing has the power to reach the sky, he cannot control the emotions of the audience.
He was helpless and watched the band he had formed plummet.
The band at the bottom of the valley has poured countless efforts into it, but it is difficult to reach the top again.
Wang Xiaojing, a 58-year-old man with liver cancer, died of massive hemorrhage on May 23, 2015, leaving behind grief and regret.
Shi Juan, the first member of the band, became the leader, and without Wang Xiaojing, she led the whole band to persevere.
By 2023,"Women's Twelve Bands"Members have undergone multiple transfusions.
The original members of the group are as few as the morning stars.
Under the guidance of Shi Juan, they still do not give up the creation and performance of the national style stage.
In September 2023, CCTV promoted "Ambush on All Sides" performed by the "Women's Twelve Orchestras", which can be seen.
Let the world know that China has a unique and high-level society, and integrates Chinese style into the mainstream circle.
Although the "Twelve Women's Band" has changed members, the glorious moments are a thing of the past.
They have maintained the goals they set at the beginning of their founding.
There have been people who have been closely following the progress of the "Twelve Women's Bands".
Unfortunately, their current performance is not as good as they could be.
There are also those who believe that the band's decision to go to Japan was a mistake.
If you don't want to hit the international market, you can't help but go to Japan.
They should have made good progress in their own country, at least not as bleak and helpless as they are now.
Do you agree with this statement?
China's national style** is only prevalent among a few people in the country, if there is no willingness to go out.
Is this really beneficial for promoting culture and allowing the world to understand China from multiple perspectives?
