Speaking of Chinese New Year, which program can make you feel the strong flavor of the New Year and the warmth of home instantly? Of course it is the annual "New Year's Eve feast" that has been with us for 40 years - the Spring Festival Gala! This is not just an ordinary party, it is more like a star-making factory, witnessing the start of countless people's star dreams from here.
Some people, as soon as they stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, seem to be cast by magic, becoming famous all over the country overnight and becoming a household name. As a result, their life trajectories have undergone earth-shaking changes, as if they have embarked on the Avenue of Stars leading to the top.
But the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is also cruel. Although some people have briefly bloomed here, they are fleeting like an epiphyllum. Their names may have been talked about, but they were quickly replaced by new hot spots and returned to their original starting point.
Xiaoshenyang
Speaking of Xiaoshenyang, does that funny image of that person wearing a red plaid trousers and a mean expression appear in your mind? Yes, it's him, the new comedy star who became an instant hit on the 2009 Spring Festival Gala.
At that time, Zhao Benshan was already a leading figure in the sketch world, but he still took the fledgling little Shenyang and Yadan to perform the classic sketch "Not Short of Money". As a result, Xiao Shenyang just relied on his unique charm to steal a lot of limelight from the superstar Zhao Benshan.
Overnight, Xiao Shenyang's name became a household name, popular all over the country. His red plaid trousers and skirt have become a fashion trend leader, causing countless young people to imitate.
As Zhao Benshan’s favorite student, Xiao Shenyang naturally knows the cruelty of the entertainment industry. He knows that if he wants to stay in this circle for a long time, he must keep working hard and making progress. So he struck while the iron was hot and participated in major variety shows one after another, and also starred in Wong Kar-Wai's movies.
However, fame comes so fast, like a tornado, catching people off guard. Little Shenyang encountered the Waterloo of life before she had time to prepare.
Zhao Benshan first announced his withdrawal from the sketch world, and Xiao Shenyang followed suit and turned his focus to the film and television industry. He thought that with his fame and hard work, he would be able to make a name for himself in the film and television industry. However, reality gave him a cruel slap in the face.
The movie "The Legend of Three Guns" directed by Zhang Yimou, in which he starred, failed at the box office and had a poor reputation. Later, "Laughing in the River" won him the "Golden Broom" award and became the laughing stock of people after dinner.
At the same time, with the continuous development of the comedy market, new comedians emerge one after another, and the advantages that Xiaoshenyang was once proud of have become eclipsed. He gradually lost his position in this circle.
Seeing his fame getting smaller and smaller, Xiao Shenyang began to look for a new way out. He turned his attention to the directing circle, hoping to regain his past glory through transformation.
However, it turns out that this road is not easy. The works he directed did not cause much repercussions, but instead made people miss his former glory even more.
Yadan
Speaking of Xiao Shenyang, who can forget the Yadan who fought side by side with him and made a shining appearance in "Not Short of Money"? They seem to have transformed from unknowns to hot new stars in the entertainment industry overnight.
But under the bright stars, the two people's mentality was completely different. Little Shenyang is eagerly pursuing higher and further places, but where is Ya Dan? It seems that he is not so cold about the dazzling spotlight, and he is quite free and easy "I am lucky if I get it, but I am lucky if I lose it". After
became popular, Yadan did not choose to go it alone, but joined hands with his significant other Wang Jinlong to face the ups and downs of the entertainment industry together. Their tacit understanding grew day by day, and finally one day, the two decided to get married and vowed to stay together for the rest of their lives.
But life is always full of variables. Soon after the marriage, Yadan welcomed the arrival of a new life.In order to take care of her children wholeheartedly, she resolutely chose to withdraw from the entertainment industry and focus on her family.
This was undoubtedly a difficult decision, after all, she was in the prime period of her career at that time. But a mother's love is like a mountain, and she is willing to give up everything for her children.
However, the entertainment industry is changing at a staggering speed. By the time Yadan was ready to come back, her former mentor Zhao Benshan had already retired, and her popularity was no longer what it once was.
Coupled with the later "love triangle" controversy, her image suffered an unprecedented blow. Her career once hit a trough, and she could only rely on live broadcasts to make ends meet.
Rising Sun Masculine
Do you remember that "In Spring" that once made our blood boil? That was Rising Sun Masculine's famous song, and it was also their "Waterloo".
Speaking of rising masculinity, who doesn’t know that these two men who drifted from Beijing, because of their common dreams and voices, joined hands on the "Avenue of Stars" and even appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Their magnetic voices are like the northern wind, cold and affectionate, blowing into thousands of homes.
After becoming famous, they naturally have unlimited fame. They can be seen in parties, variety shows, film and television dramas, everywhere. At that time, they were like new stars in the music scene, dazzling.
However, the good times did not last long. Wang Feng, a big shot in the music industry, immediately withdrew the copyright because Xuri Yanggang's cover of "In Spring" was too popular. This time, it was like pressing the pause button on Xuri Yang’s masculine music career.
Some people say that the decline of Xuri Yanggang is because of the loss of Wang Feng’s songs. But in fact, it is more because of their own dark history. Liu Gang, a member of the group, was exposed for running a red light and beating an elderly man. These scandals caused his image to plummet. Although he explained, the wave of public opinion has overwhelmed him.
Since then, Rising Sun Masculine has fallen apart. Liu Gang became an underground singer and traveled around; while Wang Xu moved to a short video platform and lived an ordinary life. Watching them transform from rising stars in the music industry to ordinary Internet celebrities is really emotional.
小 colorful flag
In 2015, the girl spinning on the stage like a "perpetual motion machine" attracted countless eyeballs. She is Xiao Caiqi, the dancing prodigy who amazed the public when she was only 15 years old.
I remember that day, she was like a princess in a fairy tale, wearing a white cake dress and started her performance in the corner of the stage. The continuous rotation seems to be her dialogue with the world and her persistent pursuit of dance. For four hours, she shone like a bright star on the stage.
At that time, many people wondered whether this was a post-production special effects. After all, such a long rotation is a huge challenge for anyone. But when it was confirmed that this was a live broadcast, the whole country was shocked. The name Xiaocaiqi became a household name overnight.
Her success is not accidental, but comes from her extraordinary willpower. This kind of persistence and hard work makes people full of respect for her. And when everyone learned that her aunt was Yang Liping, a legend in the dance world, they were full of expectations for her future.
However, fate is always full of drama. Just when people thought that Xiao Caiqi would inherit her aunt's legacy and become the next bright star in the dance world, she made an unexpected decision - to enter the film and television industry.
This decision made many people feel regretful, but more importantly, they expressed their expectations and blessings for her. However, reality is always cruel. Due to the lack of professional performance training, Xiao Caiqi's performance in the film and television industry was not satisfactory. Her acting skills were questioned and her reputation declined.
To make matters worse, all kinds of scandals and controversies came like a tide, pushing her to the forefront. The girl who was once known as the "Twirling Fairy" is now labeled as a "rebellious girl".
Faced with criticism and doubts from the outside world, Xiao Caiqi chose to withdraw from the entertainment industry and live a low-key life. She seems to be finding her own direction and trying to get rid of those negative labels.
Until 2020, the broadcast of the program "Actors Please Take Your Place" brought Xiao Caiqi back into the public eye. People thought that four years of hard work and hard work would make her look brand new, but the "thread kiss" incident once again pushed her into the whirlpool of public opinion.
Liu Qian
On that dazzling night, the sentence "Let us witness the miraculous moment together~" was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, leaving an eternal mark. This is the shock that Liu Qian, a bright star in the domestic magic circle, brought to hundreds of millions of viewers on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
At that time, Liu Qian was like a rock star in the magic world. He not only made magic lovers crazy, but also made many artists become his "fans". Before the Spring Festival Gala, magic may have been just a mysterious world that was out of reach for most people; but Liu Qian, with his hands full of magic, brought this world to everyone's eyes.
However, just as there is an unknown bitterness behind every legend, Liu Qian’s journey to the Spring Festival Gala has not been smooth sailing. His magic works, which are full of creativity and imagination, aroused people's curiosity and attracted countless suspicions and questions.
Soon after his magic debuts in the Spring Festival Gala, various cracking techniques will appear on the Internet, as if everyone wants to be the one who reveals the mystery of magic.
Liu Qian was once pushed to the forefront. Some called him a "liar", while others mocked his magic as just "hand speed and blindness." Even Dong Qing, who collaborated with him, was not spared and was labeled as a "pawnbroker".
But doesn’t the charm of magic lie in the shock and mystery of that moment? If everything was analyzed clearly, wouldn't life lose most of its fun?
Faced with the harassment from the outside world, Liu Qian chose to keep a low profile. He retreated from the public eye, but did not give up his love of magic. He is still working quietly behind the scenes and contributing his strength to the magic industry. However, it has become unknown whether the Spring Festival Gala stage will open the door for him again.
Pan Changjiang
Once upon a time, the name Pan Changjiang was closely linked to the Spring Festival Gala, and his self-deprecating sketch performances made people laugh. But nowadays, when people mention Pan Changjiang, they think more of the "Pan-Ga friendship" and the controversy in the live broadcast.
In 1993, Pan Changjiang appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time with his own sketch. He quickly won the love of the audience with his unique comedy talent and self-deprecating performance style. Since then, he has become a frequent guest at the Spring Festival Gala, and together with Zhao Benshan and others, he has supported half of the sky in the sketch world.
However, the good times did not last long. As the older generation of sketch actors such as Zhao Benshan gradually faded out, sketch creation also fell into trouble. Pan Changjiang also felt unprecedented pressure. In order to find a new way out, he had to turn his attention to the film and television industry.
Although he has the skills of sketch performance, Pan Changjiang's development in the film and television industry is not smooth. Most of the roles he plays are highly homogeneous and lack breakthroughs and innovations. This also caused his reputation to gradually decline, far from its former glory.
Just when Pan Changjiang's career was at a low point, the rise of the live broadcast industry brought him new opportunities. He saw the huge potential of live streaming and decided to join in it. With many years of acting experience and popularity, he quickly established a foothold in the live broadcast industry.
However, live streaming is not always smooth sailing. During the live broadcast, Pan Changjiang was frequently exposed to negative news such as "selling fakes". These controversies seriously damaged his reputation and caused people to question his character and artistic ethics.
Yang Guang
In the dazzling galaxy of the entertainment industry, there was once a dazzling star named "Yang Guang".He is the singer who made countless people cry with his song "You Are My Eyes". However, just when he was shining brightly, he accidentally ruined his stardom with his own hands. What kind of story is this?
Going back to Yang Guang's childhood, he lived in a different world-a dark and silent world. Since he was one year old, color has been a distant dream for him. But just as God will open a window when he closes a door, Yang Guang's hearing is extremely sensitive, and his musical talent blooms quietly in the darkness.
He was not alone during his days at the school for the deaf. Through various entertainment activities, he found his own stage and joined the Disabled People's Art Troupe.
At the age of 19, with his dreams and courage, he became a member of the Beipiao clan. In the capital, which is full of talents, he finally stood on the stage of "Avenue of Stars" in 2007 with his own hard work and persistence.
At that moment, he seemed to be the brightest star. His excellent singing skills and inspiring stories allowed him to win the championship in one fell swoop, and also brought a dawn to his life. Invitations to the Spring Festival Gala, competition for variety show invitations, and even the role of torchbearer in the 2008 Paralympic Games have put him at the pinnacle of glory.
However, just when everyone thought he would continue to be brilliant, Yang Guang unexpectedly fell from the altar. He was frequently exposed to negative news such as being a celebrity, disrespecting staff, and absenteeism, which caused his image to plummet. The decrease in resources and the decline in fame have gradually made him fade away from the public eye.
Today, when people mention the name Yang Guang again, perhaps few people remember his former glory. But those who were once moved by his singing may still retain a sense of nostalgia and regret for him in their hearts.
If he could maintain his original intention and humility, what would he be like now? Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life, only results and consequences.
Yang Guang's story is like a mirror, allowing us to see the cruelty of the entertainment industry and the impermanence of life. But no matter what, we all hope that he can find his own sky and regain his light.
