"It's so true! Finally someone is telling the truth!"
comment is netizens' praise for a speech made by Wu Kequn .
At that time, Wu Kequn was asked, "How busy do you think you are in your current work state?"
He directly answered: "I think the profession of an artist is actually not very hard."
He also gave examples that as long as he was a behind-the-scenes staff, he would feel even more:
"Artists really don't talk nonsense anymore, it's not that hard."
This sober speech in the world has made Wu Kequn return to the public's attention in the near future.
Everyone suddenly realized that this creative talent who once compared to Jay Chou has "disappeared" for many years.
behind him, there are more pop music singers who once held popular golden songs, all disappeared with the times.
These singers are rarely remembered, but the classic songs left behind are all in people's memories.
Speaking of which, Wu Kequn's experience in the entertainment industry is considered a dream come true.
He dreamed of being a singer in college, but later he was really discovered by music producer Yao Qian .
In 2000, I got the opportunity to sign a contract with a music company and released my first album "One Man's Tomorrow" at the end of the year, and officially debuted.
This year, Jay Chou also debuted with his first album "Jay", and the two also appeared on the first show together.
debuted at the same time. Standing at the same point, it is naturally easy to be taken out for comparison.
As early as 2004, Wu Kequn said in an interview: "I will surpass Jay Chou within five years."
this bold statement was not realized in the end, as he joked about himself: "He became the king of heaven, I was killed."
However, no matter how much he joked, Wu Kequn was really popular.
In 2005, he released his new album " Big Stubborn ", which was nominated for the 17th Golden Melody Awards of Best Mandarin Male Singer Award.
The song " Big Tongue " became popular, making him famous in the Chinese music scene and gained a foothold.
In those years, this song was played from the streets and alleys to KTV.
With this momentum of popularity, Wu Kequn developed rapidly, and his subsequent albums included classic songs.
Songs like "General's Order" and "Writing Poems for You" have become popular among countless people.
Even at the end of last year, he was rare to sing on variety shows, and the topic of #Wu Kequn sings again for you# was immediately released online.
shows how popular the song is and how popular the public loves it.
It’s a pity that “Writing Poems for You” is almost the pinnacle of Wu Kequn’s singing career.
After this, he still released a new album, but no more classic or more popular songs appeared.
may be because he is not developing well in his singing career, so he also tries to transform into making movies.
Become a director, write a script, and starring. It took five years to turn "Writing Poems for You" into a movie.
result, the movie failed, Douban score was 3.7, and it was said to be the "Top Ten Bad Movies of the Year".
In order to make this movie, Wu Kequn invested a lot of savings and was the biggest investor in the movie.
movie box office was very poor, which also means that his investment was lost.
He said in his speech that the movie made all his savings disappear and almost everything disappear.
Fortunately, Wu Kequn is a sober and self-aware person. After failing
, he dared to admit that he was not good enough, so that he could calmly say the words "artists don't work hard."
He said that when filming, the artist may finish one scene in five minutes and then leave.
But the staff should spend a lot of time in advance, clean up the light and lay out the atmosphere.
After filming the film, it will take more than half a year to stare at the back of the face, cleanse the eye bags, etc. This is the hard work.
There is also the topic of "acting actors" that is often discussed.
He recognizes dedicated and good actors, and also mentions the dedication and hard work of the staff.
summed up, he said: "Artists are really not hard-working industries, and workers digging roads on the roadside work harder."
Over the years, Wu Kequn has experienced the ups and downs of his career, but he still maintains a good attitude and returns to the music industry.
He occasionally releases new singles and participates in music variety shows.
every time it appears, it causes a little discussion, but after the discussion, it silently "disappears" again.
Like Wu Kequn, there have always been many artists who have become famous but are not well-known now.
A while ago, Xiao Xiao became a hot search with her 43-year-old good condition.

Netizens have been thinking about beautiful photos for a long time, and finally remembered that is a singer and sang the classic song "Love Being Open".
In some people's memories, the more familiar "Love Being Open" may be the version sung by Ding Ding.
But this song comes from Xiao Xiao’s first solo album "Beautiful Angel", which was released in 2003.
Xiao Xiao debuted as an actor at the age of 20 and only transformed into a singer a few years later.
But she was very lucky. She was nominated for the Chinese Music Media Awards Best Newcomer Award when she released her first album, and became popular.
record company positioned her as: Japanese Amuro Namie , Korean Park Ji-yin complex.
Moreover, she has covered "Reserved" by Faye Wong , and her voice is very close to Faye Wong and was once called "Little Faye Wong".
With the title of "Little Faye Wong", Xiao Xiao's subsequent development was not smooth.
After becoming popular with "Love Being Open", she has only appeared in a few TV series, and there is no news.
It was not until she joined Haidie Music in 2006 and changed her name to Xiaoxiao that she released her second music album "I’m Xiaoxiao".
I have to admit that Xiao Xiao has a talent for singing.
new album "The Unable to Hold Him", created by JJ Lin , is also the theme song of the Taiwanese version of the Korean drama "I Am Kim Sanshun".
As "JJ Lin's junior sister", coupled with the popular Korean drama endorsement, this song is very popular and has become popular again.
However, Gehong did not have red Xiao Xiao.
Another three years passed, and she also moved to Hong Kong to develop, renamed Xiao Xiyu and set off again.
continues to release personal singles and also participates in online dramas, but all of them have little effect.
I don’t know if I have been tossing too many times, but Xiao Xiao finally calmed down.
Over the years, she has faded out of the entertainment industry and lived a free life.
When I was idle, I exercised and worked out. I recently became obsessed with skateboarding and often practiced with my skateboarding.
If she has free time, she will shoot Vlog to share her life.
may be made for salads and stir-frying, or for beauty and skin care, and different contents will be involved.
This is how she communicates with her fans. Fans often make the same dishes and post them in the comment section to share with her.
Seeing Xiao Xiao’s current life state, I felt that it was nothing more than whether she was popular or not.
Anyway, she is still as beautiful as a flower at the age of 43 and can still live the life she likes. She is already a winner in life.
More people who are popular but not popular are ultimately struggling desperately than free and easy life winners.
For example, Feier Orchestra.
, no one should know. On July 20, just passed, Feier Orchestra released its new album "Heart of Diamond", making a strong comeback.
Aqin posted on Weibo to promote it, suggesting that everyone put aside the Feier Band that they have known for 17 years and get to know a new friend who is familiar and unfamiliar.
This Weibo post did not cause much interaction, only a few people said, "Support the band and support Teacher Aqin."
But when you open the Douban comment section, the front row is mostly negative reviews of one or two stars. Some netizens said: may sometimes be more suitable to choose a proudly out of print.
netizens complained like this mainly because the previous Feier band was really too popular.
In 2002, Zhan Wenting (Faye), Chen Jianning (IAN), and Huang Hanqing (REAL) gathered together and the Feier Orchestra was established.
At the beginning of the group formation, the band did not make a hurry to debut, but instead focused on creation and carefully prepared new albums.
It was not until two years later that Feier Orchestra sang "Lydia" and made its official debut.
This song is the ending song of the idol drama "Douyu". As the TV series became popular, the Feier Orchestra gradually became well-known to the audience.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feier Orchestra took advantage of the opportunity to launch its first album "F.I.R", which also became popular.
This album has sold 280,000 copies in Taiwan, ranking third in the album sales with S.H.E's " Fantasy Journey ".
ranked first and second in the album sales, respectively Jay Chou’s " Qilixiang " and Jolin Tsai 's "Castle".
This shows that the Feier Orchestra, which has just debuted, has really become popular.
has swept the major music awards of that year with just one album, and won the awards with mercy.
The point is that the songs in this album can be called "one classic".
Like "Fly Away", "Our Love", and "Your Smile", it is still a well-known song for the public.
However, Feier Orchestra is the peak of its debut.
They later released several new albums, but none of them surpassed "F.I.R", and the reviews they received were getting worse and worse.
Especially in the later stage, people will ask from time to time:
Is the Feier Band over? Is the Feier Orchestra going to disband?
Fei'er band has not been dissolved yet, but it is no longer complete in the eyes of most people.
Later, the lead singer Fei'er revealed that she was "kicked out of the band", and Aqin responded that Fei'er "responsibly withdrew from the band".
Whether this storm of withdrawal from the group is passive or active, no one knows.
It is obvious that Fei'er has really left the group, and Fei'er Orchestra also invited a new lead singer to join and announced a new departure.
In recent years, Xinfeier Orchestra has successively launched new albums, but not many people are willing to buy it.
Many people think that the Feier band without Feier has no soul.
In fact, many singers that exist in our youth memories did not develop in the end.
Cai Minyou won multiple newcomer awards with "I Can" and became famous in the music industry.
subsequently released several albums, and because of his military service, there was no movement when he returned.
Zhang Dongliang became popular in singing " When you are lonely, who will you think of ", and then collaborated with Wang Xinling to "Smile PASTA".
The "Tears of the North Star" he sang in the play has now been called "Tears of Childhood".
And he only existed in the childhood of the public. After a while, there was no news.
There is also Tank singing "If I Become a Memoir".
During the years when he became popular, songs such as "Love in the Three Kingdoms", "You Are the One", and "Exclusive Angel" were all very popular.
But later, he returned to the public's sight again, but was so depressed that he was singing on the street.
Those singers who have become popular and quiet, Gigi can still remember a lot.
Zhang Yunjing sing "Preference", Jin Haixin sing "So proud", Jin Haixin sing " July 7th Sunny sing "" sing "" sing "7th July 3" sing Xu Huixin ......
Among them, some people are still insisting on their singing career, while others have already retired from the circle.
No matter what kind of life they live now, their singing has participated in the youth of countless people.
As long as a certain melody sounds, the past of a certain picture will still come to my mind.
That is not only youth, but also the peak time of the Chinese music scene.
