In the entertainment/music news in the past two years, such a name has appeared frequently - Liu Xianhua . This name looks ordinary, sounds unfamiliar, and doesn't look like a celebrity at all. Where did this new person appear? Later someone told me that he came back from South Korea. When the Super Junior-M group became popular in China ten years ago, he was one of them. At that time, everyone called him Henry!
Oh, I remember, it’s him! SJ-M was really popular at that time, with "sorry sorry" and "super girl", a bunch of big boys, singing and dancing on the stage, looking so handsome. I remember that there were three Chinese members in the group at that time, but the most eye-catching one was of course , Han Geng, and . Henry and , Zhou Mi, and could be said to be quite inconspicuous. At that time, Henry was still under 20 years old and had just debuted, so he seemed very immature. Later, Han Geng quit the group and went solo, which became a huge hit, but Henry and the others had not heard much about it.
Unexpectedly, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the young boy finally turned thirty, and he is back! Henry, who was inconspicuous in the past, has now transformed into the all-round talent Liu Xianhua. This journey has been difficult, emotional, and gratifying!
These Chinese (Chinese) members who came back from South Korea, from Han Geng to the Four Sons of China, from Song Qian to Wang Jiaer and Liu Xianhua, it can be said that Liu Xianhua is the most difficult one! However, his musical talent is definitely the most outstanding. And the irony is that even if he has made it through now, it is basically not because of his musical talent, but mainly because of a few reality shows.
Let’s first take a look at what kind of talents Liu Xianhua has.
Xianhua Liu was born in Canada in 1989. He is a child born for music. He learned classical violin at the age of 5, piano at the age of 6, ballet at the age of 11, and electronic violin at the age of 15. At the age of 16, he had already won a silver medal in the Royal Canadian Conservatory of Music violin level 10 exam. In 2006, he was admitted to the violin major and music education major at the University of Toronto. At the same time, he participated in the Korean SM company's talent show with his dream and won the first place. After weighing the situation, he temporarily gave up college and chose to sign with SM. In 2008, he officially debuted as a member of the SJ-M group, and together with Han Geng and others, he entered the attention of Chinese fans.
Even though he was a member of SJ-M, Liu Xianhua's identity was a bit embarrassing at that time: when he was developing in China, he was completely overshadowed by Han Geng and had no fans; in Korea, he didn't even have the title of Super Junior group, Goblin (SJ fans) jointly boycotted his joining Super Junior. In 2010, Liu Xianhua was admitted to the Berklee College of Music (full scholarship), where he studied composition and vocal music for two years.
In 2012, Henry Lau returned to SJ-M to continue his activities and began to compose songs for himself and others. In 2013, he released his first personal mini album "Trap", which achieved good results. In 2014, he released his second mini album "Fantastic". It was not until 2016 that Liu Xianhua began to appear in front of mainland Chinese audiences. The first program was participating in Dragon TV's " Sisters Over Flowers " and several online variety shows. In 2017, Hunan Satellite TV " Longing for Life ", which he co-hosted with He Jiong and Huang Lei, finally gained him more attention. At the end of the year, I also participated in Hunan Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party.
In the second season of "Longing for Life" in 2018, Liu Xianhua is still online. At the same time, he finally broke up with SM Entertainment. This year, he was invited to join Mango Channel 's new music program " Sounds Into People's Hearts ", serving as producer together with Liao Changyong and Shang Wenjie. This program makes everyone no longer dare to underestimate this "variety show star". His musical quality is obvious to all, and his popularity and favorability across the entire network have also been qualitatively improved. Just like SJ-M and Han Geng back then, it’s hard for Mango TV to praise you even if you don’t become popular. Ten years later, back again, Liu Xianhua's spring has finally arrived.
In addition to his superb musical instrument playing ability, Liu Xianhua is also very capable in all aspects of creation, singing and dancing.He is so talented that he knows that in today's music world, it is difficult to get ahead by just pursuing music, so he chose to compromise and cater to the entertainment industry. He has frequently appeared on variety shows and participated in film and television works since he was in Korea, striving for every opportunity to be exposed and attracted. fans, and then bring in "private goods" - taking advantage of the popularity to create and sing a theme song, and occasionally release a single or something.
In this way, Liu Xianhua, who is from Asia's top idol boy group, relied on his talents to finally become a "traffic" artist in ten years. He has more and more fans and better resources. He became the leading actor in the Hollywood film "A Dog's Purpose 2" and also performed outstandingly on the JTBC music variety show "Begin Again 3"... The treasure boy's talent finally took a step forward. This step has been discovered and appreciated by countless people.
People often ask, why are the artists who came back from Korea so popular, and why do they all become popular in one fell swoop? However, the experience of Liu Xianhua in today tells us that if you work hard and work hard for your talent, it will not be as easy to become popular as you think. Without incredible luck and good looks that make fans scream, the success of an idol artist requires a lot of strength, and how many years of hard work and perseverance will it take to make a comeback. one day.
Some people also say that since Liu Xianhua is so talented, he still acts stupid in various variety shows? Regarding this, "Chinese Music Talk" once talked about Mao Buyi in an article a while ago. Mao Buyi is also recognized as a musical talent, but since his debut he has been non-stop pretending to be cute and silly in various variety shows. In fact, they are all forced by the current situation. Variety shows can earn both bread and popularity. Who can say no to it easily? I just hope that they have passed this stage and gradually have the right to choose, and then they will no longer be forced to participate in programs that are not suitable for them. Because his performance in some programs did not reflect his talent, and some viewers did not like him very much due to cultural differences.
Liu Xianhua’s name was among the list of candidates to be invited to “Singer 2020” that was circulated online not long ago. It is obvious that Mango TV has a preference for him, and it can be regarded as a discerning person. The chance of him coming this time should be relatively high. If he can't start, he will fill in. If he can't fill in, he will be kicked out. There will always be a chance for him. I also hope that this musical talent’s path will become wider and wider, giving him more opportunities to showcase his talents.
