Chen Xiaodong was the most popular time and was recognized by everyone as the little king.
Everyone says that he is the next Jacky Cheung .
Wherever you go, you are all crazy fans, setting off firecrackers, lion dance, dragon dance, celebration.
Even the heroine Ariel Lin is addicted to it. Selina in
SHE skipped class to watch his concert.
When Cecilia Cheung was in love with him, she deliberately spent nearly 8 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a luxury house, intending to spend the rest of her life with him...
but after experiencing some things later, he turned against him with his agent, girlfriend, and mentor;
made everyone's title of him change from a king to a "declined god", and now he has long been forgotten.
What exactly is Chen Xiaodong’s problem?
. Does the things that happened back then have anything to do with him?
01
Before becoming a superstar, the four kings did not study music professionally since childhood, but became monks halfway and then became masters and learned their skills.
So, although their songs are very popular, from a professional perspective, except Jacky Cheung, the other three singers are not top-notch.
But coincidentally, the three kings of Andy Lau , Dawn , and Aaron Kwok have all worshipped the same master, namely Dai Sicong .
His first student was Zhang Mingmin , who sang "My Chinese Heart" on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
After that, Dai Sicong became famous in the Hong Kong music scene. Soon, his home gathered singers such as Faye Wong , Anita Mui , Tony Leung , Nicholas Tse and other singers.
Just by putting these names together is enough to support half of the Hong Kong music scene.
When Chen Xiaodong became a disciple, Dai Sicong was already a famous "godfather of music".
The reason why Chen Xiaodong became a famous teacher so easily was mainly because his family had money.
When he was in the fourth grade, his mother sent him and his younger brother to the United States to study for an international school.
During his time at school, Chen Xiaodong once had excellent character and academic performance, and also won a scholarship from the American Chamber of Commerce.
Under the boring study, he passed the time by singing. Because he often practiced vocalization at home, his mother was afraid that he would lose his throat and specially invited a vocal teacher for him.
Because of his handsome appearance and excellent talent, Dai Sicong attached great importance to him and praised him for his appearance as a king of heaven, and even let him live in his own home.
Chen Xiaodong himself also gave up his studies and prepared to specialize in his singing career.
The two signed a 9-year contract, and the teacher personally worked as his agent and introduced him to the famous Polykin Records Company.
Not long after, Chen Xiaodong debuted as the junior brother of the "Four Heavenly Kings" and entered the music scene.
But what he didn't know was that there was no free lunch in the world, and his mentor's mind was not simple.
02
When Chen Xiaodong was 20 years old, he won the 1995 Top Ten Golden Songs Award for with his song "Open the Sky";
Then, he released "Flying with Me" and "Knowing Everything You Are";
"Care about Your Feelings" and "Have a Special Love in My Heart" and other albums helped him reach the first peak of his singer career.
At that time, Hong Kong media conducted a survey on "the most popular singer in 20 years" ;
The singer Jacky Cheung ranked first, and the following are all heavyweight singers in the music industry, and the only newcomer is Chen Xiaodong.
In addition to singing, in that era when artists were all-round, he also filmed many movies and TV series like his predecessors. The actresses he partnered with were first-line goddesses such as Gigi Leung and Anita Yuen .
In just a few years, Chen Xiaodong has become one of the most popular young idols in the Hong Kong music scene at the end of the century.
plus the enthusiasm of scholars and handsome appearance was the dream of countless girls at that time. Every time they sing on stage, they would welcome the "heart-wrenching" shouts from fans.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, perhaps only Nicholas Tse could compete with him.
But the scenery in the entertainment industry is like a illusion and illusion, and it has been destined since then; behind the popularity of
is a surging crisis.
However, because he was too young, Chen Xiaodong did not understand this principle.
Because his mother divorced when he was very young, there was no elder in the family with a long-term vision, only the master was closest to him.
So when Chen Xiaodong debuted, he always regarded Dai Sicong as his father, but he didn't expect that he would suffer a big loss.
In the most popular years, Dai Sicong took on work for him frantically, which led to Chen Xiaodong's overwork and various physical problems at a young age.
In 1998, Chen Xiaodong was hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis;
Dai Sicong did not reflect on himself, but was afraid that his beloved disciple would quit the music scene and he would lose his income;
So he discussed continuing to sign a contract to "main your life" and put forward the idea of "sharing your performance commission 50% and 50% in the future".
Faced with his mentor's "Lion" talk, Chen Xiaodong went from being unbelievable to doubting his life, and finally decided to terminate the contract.
The master and apprentice turned against each other and finally went to court and paid a 3.5 million yuan redemption fee before the matter was settled.
In fact, Dai Sicong has treated more than just one person like this. Later, he also asked another apprentice Zheng Jiaying to "If you are in the entertainment industry for a day, you will have to ask your teacher to get 10% of the commission for your whole life" .
The outside world was shocked by Dai Sicong's shamelessness and accused him of being a "vampire".
At this time, Chen Xiaodong was glad that he escaped from Dai Sicong's claws, but what he didn't know was that the real disaster had just begun.
03
Although he no longer needs to be controlled by Dai Sicong, he has a deep foundation in the industry and constantly spread rumors to the media to slander Chen Xiaodong.
caused his resources to be greatly reduced, and he was finally hiding by the company, and his music career fell into a trough.
But fortunately, my friend Liang Shaoying reached out to him at this time, and the two signed a friendly contract for 5 years.
For his career, Liang Shaoying invested 100% of his energy and got a contract for Universal Records for him.
In the same year, Chen Xiaodong released the album of the same name "The Man Like the Wind", which made his career as dead improve a little.
In 2000, with another picture of "Happier than Me", Chen Xiaodong reached the peak again, and the following year he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with Sun Yue .
Haiyan even wrote him into the novel "Jade Guanyin". The male protagonist was jealous because the heroine liked Chen Xiaodong for a long time.
Therefore, Chen Xiaodong trusted and relied on this new agent very much. He also joked to the reporter:
"I have married her, but I'm just at work."
At that time, it was rumored that Liang Shaoying had a crush on him, so in this way, it was inevitable that there was a quotation from a scumbag.
As expected, bad news came soon.
On January 10, 2000, Liang Shaoying jumped down from the 23rd floor of the apartment;
only left a huge check, and his unattended parents, which was very sad.
What is even more ironic is that the mentor of the past completely ignored the past affection and sarcasticized in front of the media.
In fact, even if Chen Xiaodong doesn’t like her, it is a good choice to be an indispensable agent by Liang Shaoying because her career ties in. Why do you have to commit suicide?
There were many different opinions about the cause of her death at that time, and the most mainstream statement revealed that it was because of Cecilia Cheung.
Because she loved Chen Xiaodong, the man fell in love with Cecilia Cheung. In the end, Liang Shaoying was unable to love her and committed suicide for love.
Chen Xiaodong strongly denied this statement and explained:
"I went to the cemetery to see her. It was about three or four in the morning that day. The cemetery was pitch black and gloomy. It was impossible for someone to help me open the door.
I didn't know which one she was buried in, so I searched it one by one. I searched for it for a long time before I saw her name;
meditated in the cemetery alone for a long time until I heard the footsteps of others."
Although he didn't know if what he said was true or not, he didn't understand his intention;
But this statement was a guess after all, so public opinion dispersed soon.
However, in June of the same year, the relationship between Chen Xiaodong and Cecilia Cheung was exposed.
04
At that time, Cecilia Cheung was recognized as a jade girl, and Chen Xiaodong was a rookie in the music industry;
Two people are of the same age and belong to the same company, So naturally they are attracted to each other.
The two of them gathered in a restaurant once and were followed by paparazzi all the way;
Until Chen Xiaodong suddenly held Cecilia Cheung's hand, their relationship was officially confirmed.
The death of agent Liang Shaoying was also mentioned again.
However, no matter what the outside said, Chen Xiaodong insisted on the attitude of being clear and clear.
A reporter asked him: "Aren't you afraid that your fans don't like it? "
Chen Xiaodong said: "I don't care. If I really do dating, I will be very calm! "
This courage is similar to the Lu Han in the past few years.
In this way, Chen Xiaodong became Cecilia Cheung's first recognized boyfriend. They went out together and attended the award ceremony together.
But I didn't expect such a sweet love, and they broke up after just one year.
I thought that a decent breakup was the best ending for two people, but I didn't expect that things would develop much more exciting than we thought.
. Regarding the reason for the breakup, some speculations were because Li Ming intervened;
. There were also speculations that Chen Xiaodong cheated on Zhou Liqi;
. There was also the story of Cecilia Cheung having a grudge after Liang Shaoying committed suicide, and turned around and had an ambiguous relationship with Li Ming, Nicholas Tse and others.
. Just when the outside world was eating melons, Chen Xiaodong himself personally broke the news on the show.
. When he was asked about the topic of Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse when he participated in " Kangxi is Coming ";
. Chen Xiaodong said: . "She seems to be more than just with him, right? "
Such statements seem to confirm everyone's third guess;
For a time, Cecilia Cheung's image of the jade girl was greatly damaged, seriously affecting her reputation and resources at that time.
In order to make the decision for her, Xiang Tai Chen Lan directly held a press conference;
angrily scolded Chen Xiaodong as a "scumbag", and counted in detail his "indifference to love" and "borrowing" The seven deeds of "Zhi's rise to power" and "nonsense".
I have to say that "ex-girlfriend" is a taboo at any time.
Even if it is really possible, this statement from the ex-boyfriend will inevitably make people feel inappropriate.
In short, Chen Xiaodong did not get any chance to defend himself in this battle, and could only say that he was the victim.
, Xiang Tai is too powerful and almost controls the lifeblood of Hong Kong entertainment resources, so his image as a "lost man" is recognized in people's minds.
Then, his family was robbed and threatened by a group of underworld people;
Some people said it was instructed by Xiang's couple, and some people said it was the work of Cecilia Cheung's underworld father.
Now so many years have passed, the two of them are It’s already hard to say who cheated first;
But what is certain is that “Toshiba Love” completely shattered Chen Xiaodong’s dream of heaven, and everyone called him “declined god”.
A series of blows made Chen Xiaodong almost feel depressed during that period. He didn’t eat, drink, or sleep, his eyes were red, and he held his mother and said, “
“I knelt down and asked God to save me once and give me a chance. Why did so many things happen to me?
Is this person really bad, so I have to bear so much? ”
The music industry offended Dai Sicong, and the film industry offended Xiang Tai. Chen Xiaodong, who was desperate, had to switch to the mainland and relocate his family.
-end
Relying on his former "little king", the mainland is still very precious to Chen Xiaodong.
In 2002, he truly started his film and television career in domestic entertainment, but unfortunately, the theme songs he sang are often more impressive than the characters.
Only the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" filmed with Das in 2004 became popular, and then it did not improve again.
In 2007, he returned to the Hong Kong music scene and signed a contract with Hong Kong International Entertainment Records again.
But he didn't seem to cherish this opportunity. After releasing two albums, he was exposed by the staff;
said that he was a false person and used charity shows to make a show, treating disaster relief as a "promotional show."
But it is impossible to know whether Chen Xiaodong is not good or someone is slandering him;
After this incident, no one in the Hong Kong circle was willing to praise him again, and the mainland's career also plummeted.
In the next six years, there was no big production, and no good scripts. His status in the entertainment industry has been declining again and again, and no one is interested in participating in popular talent shows.
However, although career stagnates, love has been talked a lot.
From artist to model to host, girls come to him and then turn and leave.
Finally, he married a Taiwanese nurse 1 Wang Yuxian , who is 13 years younger than him, and has been with him until now.
To this day, he and Cecilia Cheung have reconciled. It is said that the two of them will have dinner and party together in their spare time.
He also responded to his mentor Dai Sicong, saying, "I don't want to mention the past."
When Dai Sicong died, he unexpectedly appeared at the funeral, abandoned his grudges and bowed to his mentor.
Thinking of "The Heart has a Special Side", how many people are moved to tears.
Some people say that those who listen to this song are all people with stories, but aren’t the ones who sing this song?
