17-year-old Taiwanese girl group S.H.E has reached a turning point this year.
On October 1, the exclusive performance agency contract between S.H.E and its agency Huayan expired and will not be renewed. They worked with the company that discovered them for 17 years and finally said goodbye to each other. Ren Jiaxuan (Selina), Tian Fuzhen (Hebe) and Chen Jiahua (Ella) have recovered their free self.
They have long planned to start their own business, and now they have registered their own companies. Ella's company is called "Jinhua Entertainment", which is a combination of her son Jinbao and Ella's real name. Selina's name is "Ren Zhen Mei", while Hebe's name is "Happy to be happy", and it is "serious and beautiful, getting better and better".

For more than 0 years, S.H.E has survived under the name of "single solo and not disband", but the copyright of the group name belongs to Huayan Company. Saying goodbye to Huayan means saying goodbye to the group. It is foreseeable that their opportunities will become less and less in the future as S.H.E combination. September 11, before the announcement of the news, was the 17th anniversary of the S.H.E's army. They released their new single "Seventeen" in advance and held a free concert in Taipei that day.
50,000 fans were present that night, and the number of online viewers on the four live broadcast platforms exceeded 5 million. Ella picked up her son and sang the video of the three of them sang "Beautiful New World" to awaken the memory of a generation and was reposted on Weibo tens of thousands of times.
It was also at this concert that Selina was exposed to lip-syncing. Later she came out to explain: she was singing on the spot, but the live sound was indeed processed - before the concert, there was something wrong with her voice, but this concert was different and she could not tolerate any mistakes. She had to use the track that had been recorded long ago.
The public's comments on this matter were unprecedentedly consistent, all of which were "The concert is indeed imperfect, but behind the imperfect concert is still the perfect S.H.E", "Selina was questioned for lip-syncing. Are they not worthy of China's No. 1 girl group after 17 years in the army?"
- This is too rare. In the current public opinion field, lip-syncing is never forgiven, but they are tolerated in this way.
17 years ago, from a talent show called "Cosmic 2000 Strong Beauty Girls Battle", the organizer selected three contestants, namely the fat face of Ren Jiaxuan, the 45th player with short hair and bare face, and the 07 player with unanimous elimination by all judges, and the 27 player with 10 seconds of forgetting the verse in the chorus. He trained for a year and then formed the group S.H.E.
This "combination selected from the defeated part" was said by Xiao S., with the idea of "we will definitely get out of date", the media predicted that "the third album cannot be released", but he lived to this day with zero negative reviews.
A fan summarized S.H.E's 17 years in this way: "They will always sell their albums, they will always be full of concerts, they can go solo and not disband and develop on their own. In the ever-changing entertainment industry, the youth girl group composed of three little girls can last for 17 years. It depends on strength, the soul of the group, the real high-yield and high-quality works, and the cohesion of true feelings for seventeen years."
"Girls' good friends"
2001, S.H.E debuted. Lively and innocent, vigorous.
They were in the golden age of Taiwan's record industry and also occupied the opportunity for the girl idol group in the entertainment industry to be out of range at that time. For the first time, people know that girl idols can still look like this.
At that time, the word "personality" had not appeared yet, and the company did not restrict them much. Just based on their personality tests, Selina is defined as gentleness, Hebe is defined as self-confidence, and Ella is courage.
So you will see 20-year-old Ella crying at the press conference - because of the kiss scene between her and Lan Zhenglong in the movie, her boyfriend is jealous and wants to break up with her. You will also see Selina telling the troubles of not having a relationship in variety shows. They also chase stars and fantasize that their boyfriend is Takeshi Kaneshiro.
They don’t have much idol burden. In "Kangxi is Coming", Cai Kangyong asked, are you worried about being stepped on at the concert? Ella replied without thinking: "No, I'm just worried that the fat meat will come out. I have fat meat, big pieces, really big pieces."
S.H.E's music creator Shi Rencheng said that every announcement they posted was like playing, and it was easy to get off topic, because they were not standardized, and you would never know what amazing words they would come up with.
html More than 0 years later, in the Taiwanese variety show "Xiaoyan Have a Quest", the host asked S.H.E's makeup artist Du Guozhang that year: "When I put on makeup for the first time, do you think the three of them would be popular? ”Du replied: “Actually, no one dares to say that they will be popular, but you will find that the three of them are very real. (I) would suspect that if you have personality like you, you will definitely be done as soon as you appear, you will definitely talk nonsense, because why, their chatting methods are very real, especially Ella, who is completely uncontrollable. But later I found out that treating people with sincere looks will really make a name for themselves. "
Their appearance is not girl idols, they are humans.

" Creation 101", producer Qiu Yue once told the Daily Character that in the summer of 2017, before launching "Creation 101", they studied many works of S.H.E. They found that almost all their popular content "is expressing women's independence, courage and strength. I am not consumed. I want to pursue women's self-worth."
For example, in 2003's "Semi-Sugarism", they sang in the song:
"Even if you hold me tightly, it doesn't mean / I belong to you / I have my own life." "I really don't have to stick together every day / Love is hard to come by / Leave a little space to each other / Only then can you breathe"
Another example is "Big Womanism" in 2004, "Laurel Goddess" in 2005, and then "I Love Troubles" in 2008. This gentle feminist spirit has made fans miss it today. In the comment section of NetEase Cloud Music, fans even joked that "I don't know how many female fans have been influenced by this song and have become tough guys."
They also gave this generation of young women aesthetic and self-inspiration. Ella, the tomboy who always appeared in shirts and sneakers, made girls realize for the first time that there is a word in the world called "neutral" - girls can also cut their hair short, and they can have thick voices, and they can look like boys. She was 5 years earlier than Li Yuchun, the champion of Super Girl who became popular in the mainland.
In "Creation 101", Ella once said that S.H.E fans are 70% girls. Aesthetic development, independent consciousness... These are in Japan Later they became part of the self-philosophy of girls who listened to S.H.E. Everyone began to slowly know what kind of person they wanted to become. When
debuted, their self-introduction was "boys' girlfriend, girls' good friends".
How did the previous sentence do, it was not easy to comment, but in the last sentence, they got high scores.
has no C-bit combination
Naive, honest and independent are enough for S.H.E to become popular for a while, but it will always be the most difficult thing for a long time.
In 2016, Taiwanese host Shen Yulin once said in "Kangxi is Coming" that most girl groups are defeated by each other's intrigue. Some groups are harmonious on the stage, but they are "respecting each other" off the stage.
"I used to see a girl group. In the dressing room, whoever puts on makeup first would argue first. Because whoever puts makeup first involves big brands and small brands, makeup first is small brands, and then makeup is big brands. "
" Then, changing clothes, it's amazing, a disaster. The clothes were hung on them and there was no communication in advance who would wear which one, so the three of them started to use them. As a result, one of the fat people picked one for thin men, and immediately broke the clothes. "
S.H.E is one of the few outliers in the entertainment industry in Taiwan. Makeup artist Du Guozhang commented on them: "We have basically debuted for more than 20 years. We have never seen a group. Whether it is work or private life, the relationship is so good. It's really strange. This is a blessing for record companies. Even if a team is popular, if three people have different personalities, you will still finish playing. "
htmlFor more than 0 years, S.H.E has no C position. It's not that there is no comparison. When they first became popular, producer Yuan Weiren publicly said that he prefers Hebe. If one day three of them go solo, they are willing to help Hebe make music. But this has not affected their relationship.S.H.E has no C position, and it can also be seen from the group photo.

and even later, Hebe went solo. Ella said in an interview: "Fuzhen likes singing very much. When she produces such good albums and holds a personal concert, we will cry in the audience."
In 2010, Selina suffered a burn. Her boyfriend and later husband Zhang Chengzhong wrote a book, recording the details of Selina's daily life when she was hospitalized. At first he wrote: Ella is here today, Hebe is here today. Later, Hebe came too much, so he had to write, "Hebe comes every day, so he doesn't write." Later, at her concert, Tian Fuzhen invited all the fans to shout "I love you" to Selina.
Many friends have described the feeling of being between them-three people can chat for 3 hours in a row, but if you listen carefully, there is no content. It's "hahaha" and "do you think it's funny." The people next to them felt helpless, noisy, and envious.
At the concert on September 11 this year, like every time, they sang "Wife" with all the fans. This is the 7th year of S.H.E's debut, and Selina wrote lyrics and Ella composed the song, called "Wife", which is what they call each other. The song says:
"In this world / No one understands my friends and sisters better than you / No one can describe it enough / Our tacit understanding and pride / Support and tolerance"
Some people will say that S.H.E is unfamiliar, thanks to the classical star-chasing era - the Internet is not yet developed, and the power relationship between fans and idols has not changed. At that time, there were no fan circles, no group rice, no sacrificial fans, no rankings, round blogs, or data production. If you like her, you will buy her albums, but you won’t participate in the verbal battle for her.
S.H.E fans have preserved this temperament to this day. At the concert on September 11, all the light signs of the same color - the color of the clover, are symbols of the three-person group.
Now watch their variety show collection on B station for many years. If there is a barrage attack on a certain member, there will definitely be many people who will object later: "When did the snake group (referring to S.H.E) have this kind of trend?", "What is a group? Even though each carrot and vegetables have their own preferences, the member powder is about equal to the group powder, and at least it will not be each other's enemies."
The greatest common divisor
But like every girl idol group that "sells" youth, they have an eternal enemy, that is time. The combinations of
and S.H.E in the same period do not retention for a long time. The most famous one is "4 in love" who debuted in 2001. They sang " One Thousand and One Wish " popular, but announced their disbandment in less than a year. "Black Girl" (formerly known as "Black Girl"), who debuted in 2006, only lasted for 4 years. In 2010, almost all the initial members withdrew from the group.
In 2010, S.H.E was established for 10 years. The golden age of the record industry has passed quickly, and it is no longer amazing to sell a record of 100,000 copies. The S.H.E and the three were around 27 years old. It was time to transform, and the group decided to "go solo and not disband."
Hebe released the new album "To Hebe", " Loneliness is good " became the annual golden song; Ella took over the new movie and wanted to transform into an actor; while Selina was injured in an explosion while filming "I Have a Date with Spring" in Shanghai, and her whole body was burned by 54%. At the press conference 89 days later, Hebe hugged Selina with a flat head and said that it was such a difficult thing to hold her.
Selina Burn is like a metaphor, it is the turning point and accelerator of everything. It symbolizes that the long adolescence of three people is over and that everyone has to go to the real world.
So people watched Selina go from being a naive and charming princess to experiencing burns and recovery, to her wedding, to her divorce with her husband Zhang Chengzhong. Also watching the quiet Hebe become the queen of the diva, Tian Fuzhen, she walked deep into herself, spoke for the equal rights of the LGBT group, and sang "My Own Room". Ella is the most surprising one, shedding her long hair and becoming a mother.

3 years ago, they were again a guest on the Taiwanese variety show "Xiaoyan Have a Meeting". On the show, the host Zhang Xiaoyan was very moved to see them: "You three grow up together in front of our eyes. Seeing you happy and sad, being proposed, many things, your every move will drive the audience's psychology. I hope you are very good and worried about what you have, but you will have some things more or less, which makes us shed a lot of tears." This is the cruelty of the entertainment industry. Since you become an idol, you must live broadcast your life. Whether it is flowers or the cold weather, it will be regarded as a landscape.
"Creation 101" producer Qiu Yue told the Daily Character that in the winter of 2017, when she was selecting contestants for the show, she asked every young trainee what kind of girl group they want to become? Is it S.H.E or twins?
The answer she got was no, no one wanted to be S.H.E. What they talked about most was Korean groups, such as BigBang and Girls' Generation, and there were also some European and American combinations. Some even wanted to become a female variety show host on Hunan Satellite TV . The era of
S.H.E's songs are stuffed into MP3 and Walkman by thousands of girls. The new generation of audiences is being divided into more and more detailed cultural tribes, and each group is full of mountains and difficult to connect. No other girl group can become such a wide range of greatest common divisors.
Ella recalled in an interview this year when Super Star was released in 2003. "What we experienced is that everyone is holding cassettes or CDs or record covers, and they are not afraid of wind, sun and rain waiting for us under the stage."
The peak moment of the record industry, and that's how good the idol fan relationship is, I'm afraid that many idols can't experience it anymore.
