"The mountain Dandan (the one in the ground) blooms~Red and beautiful~"
believe that the lyrics of " mountain Dandandan blooms, beautiful and beautiful " are not allowed to be read normally.
As long as you see this sentence, you can't help but make a loud melody in your mind, and you can't help but have an image of wearing a white turban, wearing a sheepskin coat, and a red belt on your waist.
- Can grassroots counterattack?
Abao, this name is familiar but also a little unfamiliar.
In 2004, in the first grassroots talent show " Avenue of Stars " held by CCTV, people would never have imagined that this typical northwest farmer dressed up and a simple man would become popular all over the country with the song "The Dandan in the Mountains Blooming and Bright Red". directly won the annual championship of "The Avenue of Stars" and even had a place to go directly to the Spring Festival Gala.
Now, this name has not appeared in people's sight for a long time, and you will not expect that Now Abao's account name on the short video platform is no longer the first championship of "Avenue of Stars", but the singer "Abao (Travel, Food and Fitness)".
The original intention of "The Avenue of Stars" was to give more opportunities for ordinary people who have the desire to perform.
is different from other talent shows that were popular at that time. "The Avenue of Stars" is not limited to appearance and age, but is more down-to-earth, making ordinary audiences feel more immersive.
When Abao appears on such a stage as a young but honest and dull "Northwest Farmer", it will naturally make many audiences feel more intimate about such a "shan kid". His accent in northern Shaanxi has also become a plus point, allowing the audience to have no high expectations and requirements for his talent display.
Because of this, when the music sounded, his loud and loud voice immediately brought great surprises and contrasts, and Abao became popular immediately.
That year, he passed the championship with his super high popularity and image recognition. , the Phoenix Legend, who participated in "The Avenue of Stars" at the same time, was suppressed by his halo and only won the runner-up.
Loess, aries leather jacket, and red belt. These three colors and these three elements form the most recognizable image of Abao.
The shepherd kid who grew up in a mountain village has harsh conditions, but she does not give up her love for music. The loud voice given by God and his unremitting persistence finally came true. The story of grassroots counterattack like
is the favorite among ordinary people. It and Abao's iconic dress form an honest and progressive "Shanli Baby" character.
Looking back now, these are actually quite mature and advanced methods of creating stars.
However, establishing a character is actually the most dangerous thing, and no one can pretend to be another for the rest of their lives.
As long as the illusion you create appears a crack, everything you get through deception will collapse instantly.
A Bao became a little fluttering as he became popular.
When participating in the program, it frequently shows off that I have been on the Spring Festival Gala in high profile, and news of being a big shot often comes out under the program.
If these are just some insignificant negative impacts, then the subsequent online revelation was to completely pull Abao off the altar.
. Is he really a shepherd?
At that time, someone broke the news online that Abao was a liar, he was not a rural child at all, and his family was actually very rich. What are the touching experiences of poor families and persisting in their dreams, and what is the image of the northwest shepherd baby, they are actually packaged by the company.
In an instant, public opinion was in an uproar, and Abao went from being an inspirational representative to becoming a liar who fooled the audience.
In fact, although Abao's family is not as wealthy as rumored on the Internet, he is also a dual-working family in the city. At least he will never worry about food and clothing.
With the support of his parents, he took the Central Conservatory of Music twice but both fell into the list. At the age of 17, he joined a singing and dancing troupe to perform everywhere and accumulated a lot of stage experience.
is very good because of his unique voice and singing skills. Around 2000, his performance fee for resident singing in one night was several thousand yuan, which was the monthly salary of ordinary people in that era.
But Abao is not satisfied with the current situation and has started participating in many competitions held by TV stations. Just before participating in "Ballad of Stars", he also won a bronze medal in "Western Folk Song Contest".
So, when everyone sympathized with Bao because he was a grassroots girl with no background and a bitter and cold background, Bao not only did not live a hard life, but even lived a better life than most people.
According to his former friends, Abao, who sang in the bar, was not "rustic" at all, but a real "trendy man". He would deliberately wear two black and white boots for fashion. The contrast of image of
really made the eyes of the audience who liked him and supported him break, but not only did he not take it seriously, he also wanted to step on it.
He was participating in another music program at the time and met the famous singing performance artist Guo Lanying through the program.
Abao has never had the opportunity to learn and sing systematically and professionally. After meeting Teacher Guo Lanying, he thought of taking this opportunity to learn Guo Lanying as his teacher. The desire to learn is good, but the methods are worth discussing.
On the show, he started selling miserably again skillfully, and told Guo Lanying with tears in his nose and tears how much hardship he suffered in pursuit of his music dream.
But this time, the audience in the audience no longer felt distressed, but instead was ignited by this pretentiousness. Many of Abao's dark history were revealed by angry netizens.
, which includes him once publicly clamored on the show, saying that he wanted to "destroy the Phoenix Legend"!
Although Phoenix Legend ranked second in the competition at that time, after the competition, the heroes could not be judged by their results at that time.
Phoenix Legend's " above the moon " has also become popular. "'s most dazzling national style " and " Lotus Pond Moonlight " are more popular than each song. These songs have not only become a must-have for people's KTV, but also dominate the square dance nationwide with their popular sense of rhythm and melody.
In the past two years, they have washed away the "earthy" tag with their strength. The song " Undersea " has impressed countless young people. The singing skills of Linghua and Zeng Yi have been frequently taken out to analyze and praise.
These two people not only succeed in their careers, but also gain happiness on their own, and truly achieved "gathering is a ball of fire, and dispersing is a star full of heaven."
It can be said that Phoenix Legend only lost Abao once on the Avenue of Stars in 2005. Today's Phoenix Legend is not only not comparable to Abao's current, but even better than Abao's performance when he was the most popular.
Think about it carefully, maybe winning the championship may not be a good thing.
At least the champions from "The Avenue of Stars" did not seem to be as good as the runner-up and third place in the future.
3. Is it important to win the championship?
For example, Abao, he was the first annual champion of "The Avenue of Stars" in 2005. Now he is no longer sharing music on short video platforms, but videos of himself exercising and drinking in a lonely way.
music work, so far, the audience can only talk about the song "Shan Dan Dan Blooms and Bright Red", which is also a classic Shaanxi red song covered.
2007 champion Yang Guang , because of the negative news about being a big shot, it has gradually become silent.
2008 champion Jiuyue Miracle , when it was the most popular, he appeared on CCTV music programs, but later he was separated because of the breakdown of their relationship.
Later, the 2012 championship An and Cavalry , and the 2013 Bel canto seasons won the championship in combination, but none of , like Phoenix Legend, has been working steadily and developing better and better.
Only Ju Hongchuan in the four seasons of Bel canto. After development alone, it was once again recognized and well-known to the audience in music programs such as " Voice Enters the Heart " and "Singer". Now it has achieved great success in musicals and music production.
His girlfriend Tang Bohu Annie, who has been in love with for many years, participated in "The Avenue of Stars" in the same year and did not even get a ranking. Now, not only has he starred in the movie " My Hometown and Me ", but his personal single "Bohu Says" has become popular all over the Internet, and his fans have surpassed the champion boyfriend.
inventory of the stars who came out of "The Avenue of Stars", and there is still one person who can't get around it, that is the third place in 2006, , Li Yugang, .
amazed the audience because of cross-dressing. Although he only won the third place, he has been committed to integrating traditional opera with Western music elements, and successfully made "new Chinese style" music that belongs to Li Yugang.
The song "The Drunken Concubine" has become popular in the Chinese music scene. It not only appeared on the 2012 Spring Festival Gala with this song, but also toured more than 30 shows around the world.
In 2021, the "Red Sun Rises in the East, and the Avenue is full of rays", which is another classic he created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party.
Nowadays, he is not only a singer and artist who is deeply loved by people, but also a national first-class actor at the China Song and Dance Theater.
Count it carefully, it is not that important to win the first place in the competition.
competition is just a stage to show your talents. It is certainly worthy of being proud and happy to win the championship, but most ordinary people find it difficult to control their true hearts in the sudden flowers and applause.
What can truly support a singer to continue in the entertainment industry is in addition to talent and timing, the most important thing is to persist in making good works.
The applause of flowers and applause and the flashy lights of the world of fame and fortune will be fleeting. You can be held up to the top of the mountain for a while, and you can be dropped heavily without anyone paying attention to it.
Only works are the most reliable and stable cornerstone. Maybe stars will be forgotten, but as long as a classic song sounds, people will still sing softly no matter how long it takes.
