domestic entertainment is really coming to an end!
Seeing that a month has passed in 2024, all the songs of the year in 2023 have been wiped out. Looking back on the past year, there was not a single hit song that was sung on the streets!
The music scene seems to have been particularly deserted in recent years. Looking back on the past, the last one to become popular was the 22-year-old "Xinling Boy", or it was a cover of a classic old song.
Nowadays, there are more and more "new stars" in the music industry, becoming more and more "popular", but there are fewer and fewer good songs. What's going on?
I think these 9 "popular singers" should be beaten when they come out!
09 Popular singer: Cai Xukun
In 2018, Cai Xukun participated in the competitive variety show "Idol Producer" and officially debuted with the first place in the total votes, and has countless enthusiastic fans.
But people are not interested in this "rising star", and his "popularity" without any strength is quite controversial.
has not had a representative song to support its appearance in the five years since its debut. No wonder it has not changed the public's impression even now. After
, Cai Xukun introduced himself as "I like singing and dancing, rap and basketball", which exposed his true strength in all aspects - he is not good at singing and dancing. sing "Just because you're so beautiful" into " " Chicken, you're so beautiful." The meme became a hot topic on the Internet, and people started making fun of it, making the ghost zone a hit.
This has become the only popular song among Cai Xukun's many works, but it is not praise, but ridicule.
In fact, people’s ridicule is not unreasonable. How can people be convinced if they are offered endorsements at sky-high prices but their own strength cannot keep up?
You still need to be tough in order to forge the iron. If you are not good at singing and don't work hard, you can only become a laughing stock.
In 2021, Cai Xukun's scandal was exposed, and a "rising star" fell like this, but it had no impact on the music world.
08 Impure Musician: Liu Yuning
Liu Yuning’s debut is very interesting.
He was previously an anchor on an online platform and was well known for his covers of popular Internet songs "Walking Horse" and "Tell the Truth". Since his debut,
has always been involved in the film and television industry. He has participated in as many as 16 film and television dramas alone.
Although he claims to have dreamed of being a singer when he was a child, he has been in the industry for many years and has acted in many movies and TV shows, but his songs are rarely known.
In 2019, Liu Yuning participated in the competition of the variety show "Singer" and failed.
seems to indicate that his dream of being a singer is completely out of reach.
Fortunately, he has a good mentality, but no matter how good his mentality is, he can't hide the embarrassment of having no strength.
claims to be a singer, but he is wandering in the film and television industry. He is restless and unable to concentrate on creation. It is difficult to take off the label of "impure musician" in a short time.
In March this year, it was revealed that Liu Yuning was once married and now divorced. Such news undoubtedly cast a layer of dust on his career.
However, it is his own responsibility to make his own choices. I hope he will put his works first in the future and hone his strength.
07 Music genius: Hua Chenyu
Hua Chenyu graduated from Wuhan Conservatory of Music and became a professional singer.
But he is still controversial.
In 2013, Hua Chenyu participated in Hunan Satellite TV's talent show variety show "Happy Boys" and won the annual championship.
I thought that a music singer had appeared in the music world, but Hua Chenyu’s singing style had mixed reviews.
Some people think that he is a musical genius with unique singing skills.
Some people think that his singing is like a live performance. When you open your mouth, you must see the throat.
’s singing skills are temporarily on the sidelines. It’s unreasonable that even after 10 years since his debut, he doesn’t have a popular masterpiece.
has some fans who express respect for the song because it is too difficult. However, looking at the music scene, the difficult "Uneasy" and the high-pitched "I Will Love You Even If You Die" do not affect people's enthusiasm and love for them.
After all, it is still not strong enough.
relies on a masterpiece of others in a variety show, just like stealing other people's clothes, fans will not play again, after all, they are not their own.
In 2021, it was revealed that Hua Chenyu had given birth to a child with singer Zhang Bichen, which caused a stir in public opinion.
After all, since Hua Chenyu debuted, he has advertised himself as a "lonely, introverted and simple" persona, and he cannot rely on simplicity when it comes to children.
Labels such as "poor singing skills, no works, and a broken personality" have become the public's established impression of Hua Chenyu.
06 Rising star in the music industry: Fan Chengcheng
Like Cai Xukun, Fan Chengcheng also made his debut by participating in the competitive variety show "Idol Producer". In 2018, he officially debuted with a good result of third place in the votes.
But instead of continuing his efforts and concentrating on creation, he made a 180-degree turn and participated in the reality show "Running Season 2".
In the second year, he served as a resident guest on "Youth Travels". Since then, Fan Chengcheng has been a resident in major variety shows. Although he calls himself a singer, what he does has nothing to do with being a singer.
has become a veritable “variety show star”. While
participated in variety shows, he also actively entered the entertainment industry. Since his debut, he has participated in as many as 12 film and television dramas.
As a singer in his profession, he has been slacking off indefinitely, and he has not made a name for himself in film and television dramas. He has not paid attention to this, and has lost the other.
hopes that in the future, Fan Chengcheng can return to his true heart and concentrate on creation.
After all, strength is the only passport to prosperity.
05 The four returning sons: Lu Han
When it comes to good looks, it must be Lu Han.
In 2008, while studying in South Korea, he was discovered by a scout from a Korean entertainment company and became one of its trainees.
In 2014, they officially debuted as the boy band EXO.
In 2016, we reached a settlement with a Korean company and started our business in China.
But his career as a singer was not outstanding. After returning to China, the songs he created were only circulated in the fan circle, and none of them were popular. Instead, he participated in many variety shows, movies and TV shows.
has participated in many film and television series, but it seems that he is not outstanding. His acting skills have been criticized and he does not work hard.
In 2016, Lu Han starred in his first TV series "Qing Yun Zhi". After it was broadcast, it was shocking and the audience did not buy it.
However, the movie he starred in failed at the box office because he cared about his appearance and refused to cut his hair.
’s unprofessional attitude has made the word “traffic” a derogatory term that everyone shouts about.
In 2017, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong announced their relationship in a high-profile manner, which became the peak of his traffic.
So far, no one has paid attention to this once popular and handsome boy.
Nowadays, when people mention Lu Han, the only impression they may have is the word "brother-in-law".
04 Funny Man: Huang Zitao
is also a member of the Korean boy group EXO, Huang Zitao feels more funny.
has never thought that he has become a singer since he was a child. When he grows up, he seems to have no ambitions.
After returning to China, Huang Zitao appeared in various variety shows. He only had a few songs but a lot of funny emoticons became popular. Although
serves as a mentor in major music talent shows and variety shows, he cannot produce decent works. He only has the qualifications to debut early, but does not have the ability to match it.
Maybe it’s because he is a singer and songwriter, Huang Zitao also participated in a lot of movies and TV series: 6 movies and 11 TV series, but in retrospect, he did not leave a deep impression.
In the eyes of the public, he is still the "popular singer" who loves variety shows and is occasionally funny but doesn't know how to position himself.
has been busy for several years. It is really embarrassing to think that Huang Zitao is still an emoticon.
03 Work hard and try harder: Zhang Yixing
said that it is unknown who works the hardest in the music industry, but it is clear who wants to claim to be the hardest working person, and that is Zhang Yixing, who even changed his social name to "Work hard and work hard again".
also came back from China, and Zhang Yixing is not best known for his songs. More of a member of the male gang in the variety show "Extreme Challenge".
In 2010, Zhang Yixing started his stage career as a public trainee.
In 2012, Zhang Yixing made his debut as Lay, a member of the Korean boy group EXO. After
, Zhang Yixing released some songs, but they were all unknown and only circulated in the fan circle.
started his acting career after participating in the large-scale variety show "Extreme Challenge".
So the singer who originally worked hard to compose songs suddenly became an actor and acted in 13 movies alone.
Perhaps the more famous film and television drama is February Red in "Old Nine Gates".
"Work hard and work hard", all the efforts went to other places, but my own career as a singer was wasted, it was really not worth the gain.
Don't wait until the end. I "worked hard" for a long time, but only ended up with "February Red".
02 Three Little Boys: Wang Yuan
When it comes to tfboy, everyone knows about it. The three little ones that were once very popular in
are now working hard in their respective fields.
Three Zi and Four Zi gave up singing and specialized in film and television. Only Wang Yuan is still strong in the music scene.
00 Wang Yuan made his debut very early.
's ethereal voice gives him his own unique charm in singing. After
, he decided to go to the University of California, Berkeley, to further his studies. No. There has not been much improvement in singing skills. The existing problems still exist. The breath is still insufficient, the sound is average, and the songs I create will naturally not sound good.
This is embarrassing. He was obviously motivated to specialize in music, but in the end he didn't use his strength to prove his determination. Who wouldn't say it's a pity?
Later, Wang Yuan also participated in some TV series one after another, but he also did not become famous.
is really a waste of the national reputation accumulated over the years.
01 Passionate about C bits: Li Yuchun
After talking about so many new generation singers, I have to mention an older female singer who still has no representative works, Li Yuchun.
In 2005, Li Yuchun participated in the "2005 Super Girl" organized by Hunan Satellite TV and won the national championship, entering people's field of vision.
At that time, the entertainment industry was full of long-haired beauties. Suddenly, a handsome female singer with short hair appeared, which made the entertainment industry a trend of handsome cool girls.
In the same year, Li Yuchun became the first mainland female singer to appear on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine in the United States.
In 2009, Li Yuchun began to create music on his own. The music scene at that time was extremely lively. As long as you make music with your heart, you will naturally have a lot of people following you.
Li Yuchun debuted in a good era, but failed to seize the opportunity.
In addition to "Next, Crossing, See You", the only one that has a high popularity is "Next, Crossing, See You".
And this song is already 15 years old.
In the past 15 years, Li Yuchun has either participated in movies or TV dramas, or he has been crazy about standing in the C position, fearing that he would not be the focus of the photo.
But strength cannot be demonstrated by standing in the C position. Whether it is a mule or a horse, the audience has to have the final say.
relied on his seniority to get involved in the entertainment industry, but it would only get worse and worse, and eventually disappear from the public eye.
is written at the end
The film and television industry is ups and downs, new artists and new songs are constantly emerging, but after going round and round, the old songs of the old people are still widely circulated in the Chinese music world.
The four kings of the 90s, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Aaron Kwok, as well as Faye Wong and Sammi Cheng;
Eason Chan and Nicholas Tse in the 2000s;
and the memories of us born in the 90s: Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, JJ Lin, Stefanie Sun;
and the popular 20 The Phoenix Legend of 2017...
countless talented singers have created a brilliant Chinese music scene.
But why are newcomers in the music industry so unable to succeed now?
In the final analysis, strength is still insufficient. In the impetuous entertainment industry, only by concentrating on improving strength and creating with heart can one be recognized by the public.
