In 2004, in order to give grassroots singers a chance to show their talents, CCTV launched a singing and performance program " Avenue of Stars ".

Now, 18 years have passed since the show was broadcast. Looking back at "Avenue of Stars", I find that the contestants in it have long changed. Most of the original champion players of

have now faded out of the entertainment industry and been "abandoned" by the public.

And those players who are not optimistic about it have been active to this day.

For example, the original runner-up Phoenix Legend, and the third runner-up Li Yugang are now leaders in the industry.

Looking at those champions, some have already been banned and forced to change careers, while some are heavily in debt to survive.

went from being extremely prosperous to being in dire straits. What have they experienced?

If you have not heard of Jiuyue Miracle, then you must have heard songs such as "Girl from Alishan", "I Love You Snow in Saibei", "Azalea" and " Chinese Style ".

has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala five times and the Lantern Festival Gala seven times. His albums are selling like hotcakes and he is constantly invited to perform at art shows. This is the former " Miracle of Nine Moons " and the annual champion of "Avenue of Stars" in 2009.

Speaking of Jiuyue Miracle, the origin of this name is also very surprising.

Jiuyue Miracle is composed of Wang Xiaohai and Wang Xiaowei , a man and a woman.

In September 2003, Wang Xiaohai went to K-pop and met Wang Xiaowei by chance. This was the first time the two met. They left no contact information and no communication.

By the time the two met for the second time, it was already September 2004.

At that time, Wang Xiaowei was holding a graduation performance at school. Wang Xiaohai's friend gave him a ticket and invited him to participate.

Originally, on the day of the concert, Wang Xiaohai had something to do and didn’t plan to go, but unexpectedly, the concert was canceled due to some strange circumstances.

So, with nothing to do, he went to attend Wang Xiaowei's concert.

Looking at Wang Xiaowei shining on the stage, Wang Xiaohai's heart was filled with excitement.

As soon as Wang Xiaowei’s performance ended, he ran to the back of the stage and asked for Wang Xiaowei’s contact information.

Because they both love music, the two chatted happily and soon became good friends and even participated in commercial performances together.

Later, Wang Xiaohai accidentally saw the recruitment information of the "Avenue of Stars" program group. In order to advance his career to a higher level, Wang Xiaohai submitted their singing materials with the mentality of giving it a try.

As expected, but also unexpectedly, the program team noticed the two of them. Although they agreed to participate, the program team suggested that they compete together.

met in September and formed a fate. I hope this fate can create miracles.

In this way, the name "Jiuyue Miracle" was successfully born, and they later really created a miracle and won the annual championship.

From 2009 to 2018, during these 9 years, Jiuyue Miracle has been active in front of the public.

In 2016, Wang Xiaohai and Wang Xiaowei received their certificates. Seeing the news, fans gave their blessings.

But since 2018, there has been no news about the two.

It was not until April 2020 that the two returned to the public eye, announced their divorce and disbanded the group.

For a time, countless viewers and fans found it difficult to accept.

Some netizens even joked that fortunately there were no scandals between the two people in "Phoenix Legend", otherwise they would not be able to dance in the square in the future.

Now Wang Xiaohai and Wang Xiaowei have started a new life. Wang Xiaowei and Xu Ziwei have formed a new combination. Although they are not bought by the previous fans, they are still active in front of the audience.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaohai has disappeared from the music scene since his divorce, and his career has been in decline.

The Miracle of Jiuyue, which was once a smash hit, has now disappeared, which is inevitably sad.

Yang Guang

A blind man, he pursued his dream of music all the way and won the championship. Not only did he need to put in a lot of effort, but he also had to ignore the eyes of others and strengthen his belief. This person is Yang Guang, 2007 Annual champion.

Yang Guang was diagnosed with retinal detachment when he was 8 months old, and he has never been able to see the light of day again. Therefore, Yang Guang spent his school years in a school for the deaf.

When he was 19 years old, Yang Guang graduated from high school.

came to a fork in life, and his parents gave him three paths.

The first is to take the Changchun University exam, the second is to work at the Disabled Persons' Federation, and the third is to go to the Disabled Persons' Art Troupe in Beijing through the introduction of the Disabled Persons' Federation. However, if he goes to Beijing, his life will not be guaranteed.

Looking at the three roads in front of him, Yang Guang fell into thinking. He has loved singing since he was a child, and he definitely doesn't want to give up on his dream.

Beijing is the most suitable place for ordinary people to pursue their dreams, where there are endless possibilities.

After repeated thinking, Yang Guang resolutely embarked on the road to Beijing.

However, as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he was hit to varying degrees.

Many singing competition organizers saw that he was blind and directly rejected his interview.

Some organizers were interested in his voice, but considering that he was blind, they declined in the end.

Just when Yang Guang was worried about his career, misfortune befell him again. His father suffered an accident and unfortunately passed away.

Faced with a double blow in life, Yang Guang fell into a deep bottleneck.

Until 2007, he accidentally learned about the invitation from the "Avenue of Stars" program group to the public. As long as you have talent, you can be on it, no matter what your identity is.

Only then did Yang Guang see the hope of life.

So, he participated in the competition with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he won the first prize in the end, and became the first blind champion in the history of "Avenue of Stars".

After becoming famous, he not only appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, but also served as the torchbearer of the 2008 Paralympic Games and the guest singer at the opening ceremony.

In addition, he also held a concert with Jackie Chan , and Dai Yuqiang even accepted him as his apprentice.

For a while, Yang Guang's glory was endless.

However, the good times did not last long. The explosion made Yang Guang become arrogant. Not only was he exposed many times as a big name, but even the noble man who discovered him said: ", if you continue like this, you will end sooner or later. "

However, the facts are also Indeed.

After 2014, Yang Guang's popularity declined after being exposed as a source of negative information, and he eventually faded out of the public eye.

Today, although he makes money through live broadcasts to support his family, not many people watch it, because the entertainment industry is updating and iterating too fast, and not many viewers still remember him.

Abao

Shandandan’s flower is so red~

How many people couldn’t help but hum along after seeing this lyrics.

The next thing that came to mind was the image of a "sheepherding boy" named Po wearing a lamb wool vest, a white towel on his head, and a red belt around his waist.

Abao , formerly known as Zhang Shaochun, is a native of Shanxi.

As soon as he graduated from high school, A Bao sang folk songs with the local grass troupe.

In those years, Abao traveled around and sang in bars and karaoke bars. Although he sang folk songs, he still gained a group of fans because of his high-pitched singing voice.

Although his career is not bad, Abao is not satisfied with the status quo. He is looking for opportunities to become famous while performing.

From 1988 to 2003, he participated in a total of 15 National Young Singer Competitions, but was eliminated in all of them.

It was not until 2004 that he participated in the CCTV folk song competition and won third place, and then he entered the entertainment industry.

It was also this year that he changed his identity and participated in "Avenue of Stars" as a "sheep farmer".

The song " Shandandanhua blooms red and gorgeous " has amazed countless audiences.

also relied on this song to defeat Phoenix Legend and win the annual championship, and quickly became popular all over the country. After

became famous, Abao was constantly invited to attend the Spring Festival Gala, release an album, and hold concerts. In today's words, he was the "top stream" at that time.

However, people are more afraid of being famous than pigs are afraid of being strong.

Before Abaohong could wait long, some netizens revealed that he was not a grassroots farmer at all, and his life was not as miserable as described in the show. He was a singer who had received professional training and had a certain popularity. After

's identity was exposed, Abao was forced to withdraw from the circle. According to rumors, he was even banned.

Liu Xiaodong

can not only sing with his nose, but can even drink milk with his nose. He is called "China's Nose King" by the audience. This person is the winner of "Avenue of Stars" in 2015, Liu Xiaodong.

Before joining the Avenue of Stars, Liu Xiaodong was a drummer without any fame. After

won the championship, Liu Xiaodong's popularity skyrocketed. He participated in CCTV programs many times, released albums, and performed commercially.

Within a few years, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has jumped directly from a working-class family to a multi-millionaire.

Perhaps it was retaliatory consumption after getting rich. Within a few years, Liu Xiaodong lost tens of millions of his family property and even incurred debts abroad.

Now that he has passed away, he can only live in a bridge cave, occasionally selling vegetables and doing odd jobs to make ends meet.

Yang Fan

comes from a very poor family. His father died of cancer when he was young. In order to support the whole family, he had to drop out of school and work. This is how Yang Fan describes himself.

Such a tragic family background made countless viewers feel sympathy and vote for him. However, it was precisely because of this character that he was later criticized by the audience.

In 2014, Yang Fan took his mother to sing a song "Mother" on "Avenue of Stars". The melodious singing voice suddenly sang into the hearts of the audience and judges, and he won the championship. After

became famous, he gained fame and fortune, and the hotel where he worked promoted him to deputy general manager.

However, it didn’t take long for him to be exposed by netizens. Despite his “simple and honest” image, he was actually a proper “scumbag” who never stopped having girlfriends.

Not only that, he often beats and scolds employees.

And his family background is not as miserable as he described.

All kinds of negative information came over, and Yang Fan's personality collapsed overnight, and his popularity dropped.

Although he later tried his best to defend these revelations, he was not convinced by the audience.

Now Yang Fan has established a new family. In order to make a living, he occasionally participates in some activities, but because he is not famous, he has never received much attention.

Looking at these smash-hit champions, all of them have lost their former glory. Their fate has also made us deeply realize that only by being down-to-earth, seeking truth from facts, and constantly fighting for our dreams can we win without being arrogant. Only by not being discouraged by defeat can you go further.
