Huang Yali, who was the 2005 Super Girl, recently became a mother, and a group of friends accompanied her during the birth. Seeing the familiar He Jie, An Youqi, and Chen Xibei surrounding Huang Yali, I couldn't help but lament how precious it is to have such close friends after 19 years in the entertainment industry.
At the same time, I also seemed to see the slightly green but extremely real "super girls" on the stage in the summer of 2005.
The first year of the draft was the dawn of grassroots singers and a carnival for the whole people.
Among the several "Super Girl" held in that year, including n more talent shows later, the "Super Girl" in 2005 can be said to be the pinnacle of the draft and a pioneer in the draft. What can I say about its popularity? The whole family, old and young, sat in front of the TV to watch the "Super Girl" competition. Except for the Spring Festival Gala, the family has never watched a TV program so uniformly. A talent show on a local station created a ratings myth that no entertainment program can surpass so far.
Some netizens said: Anyone who is over 70 years old knows Li Yuchun. In the streets and alleys, whether in shopping malls or small shops, what is playing is either "The second hand is ticking..." or "The picture of memories, the language of memory...", and there is no sound in an instant. I have to say that the super girls at that time were great at singing and quite capable in business.
The slogan of "Super Girl" is "Sing if you want to sing", which means that anyone who likes to sing can participate. At a time when talent shows had not become popular, the enthusiasm shown by the audience for participating in a person's transformation from grassroots to star was really shocking, not inferior to the so-called rice circle nowadays. Supporters of various players went to the streets in groups to canvass for votes. At that time, the Internet was not developed, and the audience voted simply by sending text messages via PHS. The cumulative number of votes reached an astonishing 300 million, and real money was poured out. He became the “idol” in everyone’s mind. Compared with the various behind-the-scenes operations and shady practices nowadays, it is very fair and real.
Contestants at that time would not always be asked what is your dream? There is no performance-style answer template. The competition between the players is really competitive and emotional. The players are both opponents and friends, and they are fellow travelers who cherish each other. It is said that on the day He Jie was eliminated, she and Li Yuchun cried uncontrollably in the room.
So much so that whenever domestic entertainment held a singing and dancing talent show, "Super Girl" would be pulled out by netizens to review it.
In fact, as an ordinary audience, supporting a player so crazily may be because he sees his own shadow in them, and it also satisfies his desire to "dream".
In that era, non-majors could become stars. As long as they sang well, they could stand on a big stage that attracted thousands of people. This was not a dream. Yes, "Super Girl" is the one who realizes her dream. A group of girls who have gone through many screenings have devoted themselves to this dream with their love for music without hesitation. The competition is cruel, with promotion, elimination, anxiety, reluctance, and regret, fighting to the end, and the top five are born. The girls must have been filled with beautiful longings for the future.
When the curtain falls, dreams always wake up, and they will eventually go separate ways
One game changed the fate of a group of girls.
But working in the entertainment industry is not as clear-cut as a competition. It requires not only strength, but also career planning and a clear mind. Of course, it also includes luck. It is full of countless variables. 19 has passed, and the "super girls" of that year have also taken different life directions.
Li Yuchun continues to be popular and has long appeared as the finale "mascot" of major evening parties. As a workaholic, she suffered from ankylosing spondylitis in 2021, but she still has not given up her career pursuits and has an unshakable position in the entertainment industry. .
Although Zhou Bichang has also gone through a period of silence, her low-key and down-to-earth personality has created her long-term mentality. Her inner love for music has supported her until now, and she has always insisted on pursuing her dreams.
Zhang Liangying is really miserable and encounters unkind people. After experiencing a major relationship change, the "love brain" finally let go of her obsession and concentrated on her career. She has been steadily outputting high-quality works.
He Jie really drove high and walked low. Being swayed by the glitz of the entertainment industry, she neglected her professional development. With her ability, she could achieve great success in her career, but she was stuck in an emotional mess, ruining her popularity with the public. Now He Jie has also lowered her status, applying for various jobs and striving to become famous.
Ji Minjia was also tepid after the competition. She had no better chance because of her undistinguished appearance. Even if she had plastic surgery and changed her name later, it would be useless. She also released some singles and acted in some dramas, but the response was mediocre. The entertainment industry has almost stopped checking There is no such person.
Huang Yali personally thinks it is the most regrettable. The quirky "little witch" has a unique style, but she is the kind who always lacks luck. The dream that started when she was 16 years old has lasted 19 years. Like most players who are no longer noticed, she gradually disappeared from the public. But those viewers who liked her back then have also been paying attention to her activities, such as painting, traveling, doing handicrafts, and doing art. Although she has regrets in her music career now, she lives a happy and contented life, as if she is full of vitality. As a "life artist", fans are also infected by her love of life and calm attitude towards life.
Everyone is familiar with Ye Yiqian. After marrying the "diving prince" Tian Liang, she gave up her music dream and returned to her family to raise her husband and children, and she also gained complete happiness.
....
Being at the peak after your debut is always a double-edged sword. If you have the ability to attack the mountain, you must also have the ability to defend the mountain. The entertainment industry is the most realistic. There is never a shortage of fresh faces. You sing and I appear on the stage. Most of the "old people" are quickly forgotten and fall into silence, which is sad.
Conclusion
Having read this, have you also recalled your youth? It has been nearly twenty years, and the hustle and bustle has long since receded, and things have changed, but those young days of crazy star-chasing are truly unforgettable. Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying... Fortunately, they are still active on the stage, reminding us: whose youth is not absurd, whose youth is not precious.
This is a nostalgic game. Friends who have the same memories in 2005 raised their paws in the comment area~
