"Pick up wine in the glass in the morning and evening, lonely people are after the wind and rain..."
A song " Chinese Folk Ballad " on the Spring Festival Gala in 1995 was sung to thousands of families and has become a beautiful memory for many people.
also made the original singer of this song popular - Sun Hao .
He was only 27 years old at the time and appeared on a national stage like the Spring Festival Gala. This young man is destined to have a bright future!
But now 27 years have passed, why does his name disappear in the music industry?
On the contrary, he can be seen from time to time in film and television dramas. What made this "genius singer" change careers?
01. The tortuous musical road
A song "Hongyan" made many people discover that "Director Hu" turned out to be a powerful person.
Don’t underestimate the actor Sun Hao. He is a "genius singer" who has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. When he comes to acting, he is just "desperate"!
In 1969, an ordinary family in Xi'an had a new member, and they named the child Sun Hao.
Although the couple is just ordinary workers in the factory, they still respond to their son. I want to do my best to give my children the best living conditions.
Perhaps it is because of talent, Sun Hao has loved singing since he was a child.
The parents also respected his hobbies very much. When Sun Hao was 11 years old, he sent him to learn bel canto.
This was rare at the time because many people thought singing was "not doing their jobs", and the class fees for vocal classes were not cheap either.
But Sun Hao's parents would rather eat less meals on their own than cultivate their children's musical talents.
bel canto, folk singing , pop songs...
Sun Hao learned all kinds of schools and finally determined the best popular singing that is suitable for him.
But Sun Hao, who was young and energetic, soon encountered the first blow in his life.
He originally wanted to apply for Shanghai Conservatory of Music to continue his studies, but he lost the election by three points and became an "unemployed youth".
There is really no conditions for Sun Hao to repeat the school. He also chose to work in the factory sensible and gave up his dream of music.
However, gold will shine everywhere, and Sun Hao quickly turned over with the "music".
Because of his good voice, Sun Hao sneaked into the "propaganda team" shortly after entering the factory. I started to be responsible for the broadcast work and no longer needed to screw the screws on the assembly line.
Then, with the recommendation of the factory director, he began to participate in various provincial and municipal music competitions, and thus met his "benefactor" who changed his life.
At that time, Sun Hao represented Xi'an to participate in the "City Pop Singer Grand Prix".
Just after the first day of the competition, two professors Jin Tielin and Wang Ming went to the guesthouse to find Sun Hao and asked him if he wanted to go to Central Conservatory of Music to study?
For Sun Hao, this is undoubtedly a pie that falls from the sky!
You should know that Wang Ming is a national first-class composer. Songs such as " Unforgettable Tonight " were all written by him. He will definitely benefit a lot from his guidance.
The future "Spring Festival Gala Singer" officially embarked on his journey at this time!
02. "New singer" on the Spring Festival Gala stage
Under the recommendation of Jin Tielin and others, Sun Hao entered the Central Conservatory of Music for an interview and became a classmate of Han Hong .
Sun Hao, Han Hong, Lin Ping, the three of them were the "iron triangle" in the celebrity class at the time, and they are still close friends until now.
But in addition to a happy campus life, Sun Hao also has to worry about his livelihood from time to time.
In order to make up for his own tuition, Sun Hao used his spare time to go to the bar and listen to resident singing.Professor Wang Ming knew his difficulties and often took Sun Hao to his house for free.
What really brought a turning point to Sun Hao was a singing competition in 1994.
At that time, CCTV held the "6th National Youth Singer Competition". Sun Hao signed up for the prize, but he won the third place. In the
many contestants chose the Hong Kong and Taiwan Golden Songs, but only Sun Hao still insisted on the "Chinese style" and sang the "Chinese Folk Songs" that later became popular all over the country.
Some people say that he sings strangely, while others say that he broke the sound in the competition... There are many controversies about Sun Hao, but it is undeniable that he became famous and he became completely popular!
and even the Spring Festival Gala program team sent an invitation to Sun Hao, inviting him to sing "Chinese Folk Ballad" in the 1995 Spring Festival Gala.
Taking advantage of this east wind, he once became popular singers and no longer had to worry about making a living.
But why did such a young singer rarely hear his name later? Why did he give up the music he had been pursuing and switch to filming?
03. The "down-and-out singer"
After becoming popular with "Chinese Folk Ballad", Sun Hao became a regular visitor to major variety shows.
"The Same Song", " Variety Show Grand View "... Each of them are popular programs on CCTV, but they are scrambling to snatch Sun Hao to be a guest. Sun Hao was in full swing for a moment.
But "Chinese Folk Ballad" made Sun Hao successful, but also restricted him.
No matter what program it is, as long as the organizer opens his mouth, he must ask Sun Hao to sing "Chinese Folk Ballad".
Gradually, Sun Hao also had a shadow on this song and was even unwilling to listen to it.
He has also tried to transform and released some new albums. For example, "Sunshine Paradise", "I Want You Hello", etc., have always been mediocre in their reactions and are not as good as their previous results.
When the singing career was a little stagnant, Sun Hao also began to try to develop his side business.
Because of his popularity in music, the richest man Yee, one of the three major nightclubs in Beijing, invited Sun Hao to be the program director with a lot of money.
Although ye always sounds not tall enough, at that time, Sun Hao's subordinates could bring " Black Panther Band " and "Zero Point Band".
and Sun Hao also holds the "power of life and death" of this group of people. If you sing someone and order someone to go on stage, the whole ye will always be like his one-man show.
But because of this "power", Sun Hao accidentally offended Yang Kun , which made the other party so angry that he did not talk to Sun Hao for more than 20 years!
At that time, Yang Kun was still a newcomer. Because a song on the "rich" cost 150 yuan, he came to the interview with confidence.
Yang Kun’s voice is very unique. As soon as he spoke, Sun Hao was shocked.
However, at that time, there were already five resident singers in the club. When Yang Kun came in, he wanted to drive away the original person, so Sun Hao had to refuse.
What Sun Hao didn’t know was that Yang Kun had just arrived in Inner Mongolia and was penniless.
When Yang Kun came to the interview for the "Rich Man", he was very confident. If you look good and sing well, it is certain that you stay.
But unexpectedly, Sun Hao rejected it, and Yang Kun also "holds a grudge" with Sun Hao for this and has not spoken to him for 20 years.
However, Sun Hao did not have the time to worry so much at that time because he also reached the trough of his career.
Under the impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan music, mainland singers at that time were almost "annihilated". Sun Hao has no new masterpieces after "Chinese Folk Ballad", and gradually began to be forgotten.
At the beginning, Sun Hao was able to take on some commercial performances based on his previous fame. But as his fame declined, no organizer came to invite him anymore.
In desperation, Sun Hao decided to enter the entertainment industry to make a living.
04. Zhang Jiayi 's "little follower"
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, it is probably the only one who can transform from a popular singer to a film and television actor like Sun Hao!
But in fact, Sun Hao is not on a whim about the decision to transform. He has actually been exposed to performances for a long time.
Sun Hao's first acting career was in 1990, when he was still singing in a bar. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly won the favor of the director of " Emperor Superstar " and invited him to make a movie.
However, this work did not cause any storm, and Sun Hao continued to sing and attend classes as usual.
But this opened up Sun Hao's "new path". Later, he tried to take on many roles, and thus met Wang Haiyan, , .
Wang Haiyan is Zhang Jiayi's wife. Because of her relationship, Sun Hao and Zhang Jiayi became familiar with each other, laying the foundation for their subsequent transformation.
Under the impact of the music industry in 2000, Sun Hao picked up the "acting" business.
But because he is not a professional, he has no representative works. Sun Hao can only play supporting roles in some movies and TV dramas.
1999's " Idle Son of Ma ", 2001's " Great Han Emperor ".... Each of them were popular dramas at that time, but they did not make Sun Hao famous.
Many people also joked that he had a "popular face" and was destined to be unpopular. But the journey of a noble man ended Sun Hao's path to playing a favor.
When filming "Pingzhixiaying" in 2003, Sun Hao met Zhang Jiayi.
Because they are both from Shaanxi, and Wang Haiyan's relationship, the two of them become familiar with each other after a while.
Then in 2009, Zhang Jiayi became popular with the " Song Siming " in " Snail House ", and he also began to promote his good brother.
Since then, it has been the script taken by Zhang Jiayi. Whenever there is a role suitable for Sun Hao, he will recommend his brother to the director.
2011's " Cliff ", Zhang Jiayi served as the male lead, and also won the role of "Liu Kui" for Sun Hao. Although
is not popular, it can be regarded as a way for everyone to see Sun Hao's highlights, and more jobs are being found in him.
Later, Sun Hao directly signed a contract with the company founded by Zhang Jiayi and became an artist under his command.
Because the two are always tied up and filming, many people also laughed at Sun Hao as Zhang Jiayi's "little follower".
Sun Hao did not resist this title.
He knew that without Zhang Jiayi's support, he might have given up on his performance. Therefore, he has always been very grateful to Zhang Jiayi.
Sun Hao’s real popularity was in 2021. At the age of 52, he experienced the first time he was "screaming" by the entire network.
At that time, Sun Hao played the villain in the play "Hu Xiaowei", who was timid and afraid of things and was a foul criminal... made many viewers hate him.
The villain is the most difficult to play, and it is also the most hated. At that time, Sun Hao’s social platform was full of abuse from some “angry” netizens.
At first he was also very frustrated, but under Zhang Jiayi's persuasion, Sun Hao also wanted to do it. The attacks of netizens are actually a recognition of his acting skills.
Many people say that Sun Hao depends entirely on Zhang Jiayi, but in fact, those who have watched his dramas know that he has a self-understanding of the characters.
Do one line and love one line. Maybe this is Sun Hao’s philosophy of acting.
From the original "Spring Festival Gala singer" to the current "villain".
Sun Hao is working hard and sober. During his career trough, he will try to transform and also put down his airs and play supporting roles.
However, Sun Hao's career is stable now, but no information about his family has been reported. Many people suspect that he is secretly married, while others think that Sun Hao.
What do you think about him? Have you ever watched the TV series starring Sun Hao?
