The "private past" of S.H.E's debut: the cruelty on the road to success is far beyond your imagination

If you want to say who is the "Asian Women's First Day Team", it should be S.H.E.

Back in the day, when pirated tapes and Walkmans were rampant.

As long as the wind blows, there must be S.H.E singing.

a,

China record , established in 1992, is well-known China Taiwan's major record companies, The strength is comparable to that of the Rolling Stones.

In 1999, Shanghua was acquired by Polygram .

What is more tragic is that the original artists of Shanghua became homeless "orphans" because they did not get the attention of their new owners.

It can be said to be a big loss to the music world, leaving thousands of fans a lot of regrets.

company acquired,The original bosses of Shanghua, Lu Yanqing, Lu Shiyu, and some behind-the-scenes musicians decided to start over.

Among them are the three behind-the-scenes musicians who have made Shanghua brilliant: Liu Tianjian, Xu Changde , Yuan Weiren are three music producers.

In 2000, Huayan International was formally established.

The new company was established, the business scope is inherited from Shanghua, and it is still to discover new talents and create idol singers.

Where do the newcomers come from? The best way, no doubt, is the draft.

As a result, Huayan International, in conjunction with the variety show "The Great People of Television", held a "Universe 2000 Powerful Beautiful Girls Selection".

marks the coming of the era of S.H.E.

II.

1981, Ren Jiaxuan Born in a midfield family in Taipei City, Taiwan Province, she has been a child of someone else's family since she was a child.

In 2000, she just graduated from Taiwan's most famous university, Beiyi Girls' High School , and was admitted to the famous Taiwan Model University.

is reveling in the joy of summer vacation, even if she never thought that her fate would change on August 22 of this year.

Because her sister wanted a signed photo of Brother Xian, Ren Jiaxuan signed up for the "Universe 2000 Powerful Beautiful Girls Competition" jointly organized by Huayan Records and TV National.

In 1983, Tian Fuzhen was born in Hsinchu County, Taiwan Province .

Oda has been relatively quiet since he was a child, and does not like to communicate with others, but he has quite rich stage experience.

When he was 16 years old, Tian Fuzhen participated in the CTV variety show " Guess I Guess Guess Guess Guess " the strange and beautiful girl unit (as a rock pig), and later participated in " Cruel Stage" singing competition, won the first place and won a prize of 10,000 yuan.

"Beautiful Girl Tournament" has started registration,The former champion was invited by the staff and hoped that she would be able to participate in this selection.

The champion can sign with Huayan and is expected to become a big star in the future.

Born in 1981 Chen Jiahua is very neutral, and dresses up like a boy.

When she was in high school, she was a man of the school, and even won the title of "School Grass". There are not a few boys who she actively pursued.

I often participate in singing competitions held in the school, and won the singing championship with the cover of "Later".

thinks he is talented and sings very well.

When I saw "Pretty Girl" and had the opportunity to sign a record, I immediately felt like a different person.

transformed from a neutral teen to ,Just want to be a blockbuster on stage.

Three little girls, with different wishes, participated in this competition together.

On that day, the number of applicants was as high as 486, and in the end, only one beautiful girl was chosen. The process is quite brutal, and the competition is quite fierce.

After three months of selection, finally 6 "beautiful girls" entered the finals, including Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen and Chen Jiahua.

The hosts of that year were Taiwan variety show 1st brother Wu Zongxian and Tao Jingying .

The judges are Huayan music producer Yuan Weiren and artist power train , etc.

The first one to appear is Ren Jiaxuan , who brought an English song "Reflection",Passed smoothly without any risk.

19-year-old Ren Jiaxuan, 164cm tall and 53kg, has long flowing hair, ignorant and green.

For this final, is the one with the best preparations belongs to Chen Jiahua.

On that day, I stole a black suspender dress from my second sister's "dowry" , borrowed a classmate's big earrings, but wore a pair of big slippers, I wanted to change my neutrality style, to be a real beautiful girl.

Chen Jiahua sang Rene Liu's "Later", the song that won the championship when he was a high school student.

Chen Jiahua, who is 162cm tall and weighs 53kg, was eliminated because of 's weak singing performance. .

When Wu Zongxian asked her how she felt about herself, she said confidently: Pretty good.

"Lane" heavy bass,It is Chen Jiahua's characteristic style.

Tian Fuzhen was the last to perform, singing "Like You" by Shunzi .

It's embarrassing that forgot her words on such an important final occasion.

The magic is that she still made the cut.

The judge's reason is even more "laugh and spray": I didn't react, it was over when I sang, I thought I didn't finish singing, and I didn't have time to press the light.

Tian Fuzhen, a sweet girl with a height of 161cm and a weight of 47kg, made the cut. "It was a bit of an accident".

In the end, two people were eliminated, and four people were retained. After a serious discussion among the judges, Ren Jiaxuan won the championship, and won the opportunity to sign a million records.

However, there are surprises in everything.

3.

For Ren Jiaxuan, there is nothing more worthy of celebration than being a junior sister of a power train.

A week after the competition, not only Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen and Chen Jiahua, who was eliminated in the final, received invitation calls.

The three of them met again. They were both happy and shocked. They didn't know what happened, and they didn't know that they would form a girl group to debut in the future.

The three of them signed the contract just like that.

In 2000, there was no successful experience of "girl group" in China.

This year, the "4 in Love" girl group under Boardman has just been established.

This year, the artist “ twins ” under the banner of emperor in Hong Kong has just established.

Before 2000, domestic artists were mostly single-player, Faye Wong , Liu Ruoying, Meng Tingwei , Karen Mok .

Jolin Tsai , Wang Xinling , Xiao Yaxuan and other new generation female singers began to rise rapidly.

In the face of the turbulent music scene, a rookie debut, wants to soar, in addition to strength, but also luck.

In 2001, Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen, and Chen Jiahua were arranged by the company to live in the same dormitory, retreat and practice, preparing for their debut album.

The first album is very important, whether it can stand a foothold in the music world and succeed in this one, so Huayan is very careful.

Folklore, whether a singer can become popular , stage name is very important, what "stage name" should the three take?

At the beginning, I thought of 3C beautiful girls, H.B.O, didigirls...

Before it was successful, all the names were vulgar and rotten.

After discussion and based on the personality characteristics of the three people.

Selina stage name of Selina , on behalf of tender: softer 'Selina good treble

Hebe the stage name Hebe , . Represents confidence : Good at bass, singing skills are the best.

Chen Jiahua's stage name Ella , representing strong: good at alto, the oldest, the most talkative, and the team leader who does his part .

so, SHE combination was born.

four,

, as the first girl group launched by Huayan,For the newly established Huayan, there is nothing to lose.

's first album "Girls' Dormitory", the main song is " Lovers are not full ".

This title song is written by Huayan Planning Director and famous Chinese lyricist Shi Rencheng .

The creative inspiration comes from the Japanese "youda and above, but the lover is not full", which means The relationship between the two is not just a friend but an embarrassing stage that is not a lover .

The album is the only song composed by American composer Beyonce Knowles and Walter Afanasieff.

The whole album uses almost all the resources of Huayan. Build together.

album presents diverse styles, in addition to R&B there are very popular parapara dance music style songs.

The so-called success or failure of this.

In order to make sure nothing goes wrong, Huayan spent a lot of money to make a mysterious version of MusicVideo before the album was signed. .

September 11, 2001 On this special day, S.H.E is looking forward to its first success.

Unexpectedly, except for the S.H.E.

The public opinion is all about 911.

So much so that the S.H.E. signing party, the media sighed in succession: another "singer".

Failure is inevitable, success is accidental.

Before S.H.E, how many artists, after releasing an album,Just "see the light to die".

This year, the girl group “4 in Love” is about to disband.

Probably thanks to the "911 Incident", what is more supernatural is that the signing of "Girls' Dormitory" will be more popular than expected.

When three little girls appeared and told the fans in sweet voices: "We are 19 years old, we are not ugly, we like to sing, and we want to make friends with you."

The most Ordinary, the most people-friendly, the most pristine, without any fancy language to modify the self-introduction, set off a rush to buy.

This album has sold 160,000 copies in Taiwan Province and 750,000 copies throughout Asia.

One of the singles "Unfulfilled Lovers" was nominated for the Golden Melody Award that year.

The album has also won honors such as "Taiwan Girl Group Newcomer Champion" and "Best Newcomer Award at the 13th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards".

is a big hit.

No one would have thought that three "unpretentious" girls could have such magic power.

I have to admire Huayan's star-making strength, and the perfect complementary combination of S.H.E is eye-catching.

Opportunity favors those who are well prepared.

5.

Everyone is immersed in the joy of success.

The three little girls saw the dawn of becoming big stars.

It didn't take long for "4 in Love" to disband, but 's next-door budding group "Twins" was gaining momentum.

A hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers bloom.

S.H.E.

Huayan's future and destiny are also in the hands of S.H.E .

One year after their debut, S.H.E has a lot of work pressure and is actively preparing for the second, third...Nth album.

Every day, three girls get up at 6 or 7 o'clock to put on makeup and go back to the dormitory to rest until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning.

Even for a festival as important as the Spring Festival, there are only four days off.

Ella, who talks a lot, is often scolded for talking too much;

Hebe even had a high fever and was rejected when she wanted to leave.

good girl Selina Do whatever you say.

When recording the MV for the single "Beauty Up My Life", the three little girls were asked to do the "discharge enchanting" action. Although they were ten thousand unhappy, they still completed the task bravely.

In this MV, Hebe also contributed a very enchanting "Water Snake Dance", which fans still remember, quite tasty.

Thinking back to that time, Hebe's hot body is really in love.

This MV is also recognized by S.H.E as the most unbearable memory.

In 2002, S.H.E released the second album " Youth Co., Ltd. " and the third album " Brave New World _span4s".

especially Brave New World,Let everyone see it.

The future "Asia's No. 1 girl group", S.H.E will do my part.

won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award "Best Duo Group Award" for "Brave New World", which sold about 300,000 copies in Taiwan and about 1.76 million copies in Asia.

Everyone was impressed by them.

In 2003, Huayan brought Jay Chou to compose for S.H.E 's new album " super star ".

This year's record market, the competition is quite fierce.

The popular singles of that year include Jolin Tsai's "Watch Me 72 Changes", Wilber Pan 's " My Microphone ", Stefanie Sun 's "Meet" and so on.

Even so, S.H.E's "Super Star" still managed to survive the siege, selling a total of 15 million copies.

In 2004, with the album S.H.E, she won the Top Ten Chinese Songs Award at the Hito Pop Music Awards and two awards for the HITO Girl Group of the Year.

How popular was the single "Super Star"?

In the era when pirated tapes were popular for 4 yuan a piece, more than half of the 40 classmates in the class bought this album, and they hummed that album every day. The sentence "you are my Super Star".

Even in that year's New Year's Day party, students who signed up to sing Super Star "collided" several times.

On the street that year, there were 5 video stores selling tapes, and 4 of them were Super Star.

Probably every post-80s generation has heard their songs. Do you agree?

6.

S.H.E singing all over Asia.

2004,S.H.E's first mainland concert was held in Shanghai Wonderland.

It attracted 40,000 viewers that year. What is the concept?

Smartphones have not yet come out, computers have not yet become popular, MP3 is just beginning to become popular...

At that time when the economy was not developed, it could attract 40,000 fans. Such popularity is unbelievable.

This year, S.H.E became the No. 1 bar in Tieba with 5 million followers.

You must know that at that time, more than 95% of households did not have a computer, and there were less than 100 million netizens in China.

At that time, there was no hype and no posting, and S.H.E had such popularity. It is no exaggeration for to be named "Asia's No. 1 girl group".

In 2006, S.H.E once again came to Shanghai to hold a concert. The stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was still overcrowded with people moving inside and out.

off-site,It was crowded with nearly 10,000 elementary and middle school students. Because they couldn't buy tickets or stood outside, The smell in the wind was sweet.

Every time there is a little noise in the field, they can be excited.

This is the popularity of S.H.E in China.

In 2008 Spring Festival Evening, the whole world sang " Chinese ".

In 2010, the nine-year-old girl group S.H.E chose to announce "solo" after releasing the album "SHERO".

After so many years of fire, it will eventually walk down the "altar".

This is not surprising.

After all, no singer can be popular for 10 years.

There won't be one song either, you'll choose to keep looping for a year.

Growing up with S.H.E's singing.

These days, they are probably all 30+ years old.

Every time I think of the past, eating the Starry Cup and watching the S.H.E concert, the years seem to return to the summer 17 years ago, and the little girl who secretly sang "Super Star".

That feeling is so beautiful!
