"Lang Jie 5" has been long-awaited since its release. Although it was rated as "the worst ever" by the outside world before it was aired, its popularity has not been low.
Among them, the ones that everyone pays more attention to are basically concentrated on a few people who also debuted as talent show singers:
Shang Wenjie, Qi Wei, He Jie, Yuan Yawei, Liu Xin and others.
Especially after the theme song mv was aired, some thoughtful netizens summarized the scenes of all the sisters, and it can be seen from them how much the program crew attaches importance to each of them.
From the current point of view, among all the female artists participating in the show, the most anticipated one is Liu Xin, who has not been seen for a long time.
She was the most popular member of the "2011 Fast Girls" 13 years ago. She also had a bloody battle with Hong Chen, the runner-up winner, and finally made Duan Linxi "profitable"...
This shows Liu Xin's popularity back then - - Even if her career later "falls", this return will make early fans shout "Bai Yueguang is back".
But few people know why Liu Xin suddenly stopped being popular after becoming famous with such high popularity, and ended up disappearing from everyone?
1. "27-year-old talent show singer"
In 1984, Liu Xin was born in a military family in Harbin, Heilongjiang, with a good family background.
But because her parents were busy with work, she was forced to live with her deaf-mute grandmother since she was a child. Her childhood was almost silent and lonely.
At the age of 10, Liu Xin was deeply shocked and attracted by accidentally seeing Michael Jackson's music video. After that, she began to consciously get in touch with music, and her favorites were punk and metal.
It is said that Liu Xin's favorite song during adolescence was "you are not alone" by the other party. It felt like he sang it to himself.
In high school, Liu Xin began to learn bel canto singing and organized a women's rock band with her classmates. She served as the lead singer and guitarist among the three.
In 2002, 18-year-old Liu Xin was admitted to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music and began to learn popular singing, but her band was disbanded as a last resort.
Two years later, after graduating from school, she came to Beijing to pursue her career. Although there was little progress in her career during this period, she persisted in participating in various music competitions to look for opportunities.
Until 2007, Liu Xin participated in the "Dance Music and Pictures" public trainee selection competition and stood out from tens of thousands of contestants. Then she was chosen by the Korean JYP company.
After traveling across the ocean to South Korea, she received professional training in four aspects: vocal music, dance, acting and Korean.
Although she successfully debuted and released an EP album, she did not create any splash.
In the fourth year of her cooperation with jyp, Liu Xin peacefully terminated her contract, and then she embarked on the journey of "Fast Girl".
At this time, the Kuainu brand has entered its eighth year. The competition system is more mature but it has also fallen into a sluggish stage. In order to save the decline, the
program team not only cooperated with the newly emerging new media platforms, but also played a new trick, allowing the contestants who entered the finals at the same time to enter the "Fast Girl Castle" and conduct more than 70 consecutive days and more than 1,000 hours of Live broadcast without interruption.
Compared with the previous Super Girl and Fast Girl, the setting of this year is closer to a "star-making show".
Although the setting of the program immediately guessed the audience's enjoyment, it also exposed many problems.
More than 50 high-definition cameras are hung in every corner of the "castle". Even the players' mobile phone text messages can be seen at a glance, and the interaction between them is magnified under the camera.
The "snooping" from the outside world has made the "2011 Fast Girls" extremely popular, but at the same time, controversies also arise frequently.
It was in this environment that Liu Xin "broke out of the siege" and became one of the most popular players that year.
As one of the older popular fast girls at the time, at 27 years old, she does seem to be very "alien".
Her dress follows the unisex style favored by her "predecessors" Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang, but because she is older, she looks very delicate and mature. She is also very concerned about the daily life of other team members, so she is popular.
Liu Xin, who has tried various music styles over the years, is also an all-rounder. During the competition, he passed all the tests and became the best among them.
It is worth mentioning that the then-debuted actor Chen Xiao was also a fan of hers and spared no effort to support her on social platforms.
It is a pity that Chen Xiao was just starting out at that time and had not yet become completely popular due to "Legend of Lu Zhen", so what he could do to help Liu Xin was really limited.
Moreover, her most powerful opponent at the time, Hong Chen, was not to be underestimated.
2. "The most insane audition stage"
Hong Chen, who is 7 years younger than Liu Xin, is a girl from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. She has also loved singing since she was a child. She participated in "Quick Girl" when she was 18 years old, but unfortunately she was not among the top 20 in the Shenyang competition area.
She made a comeback two years later. This time she also passed the competition and became extremely popular.
Hong Chen has a loud voice, a powerful typhoon, and looks exactly like Park Shin Hye, which easily attracted the attention and support of the audience.
She also had her iconic short hair at the time. Although she was petite, she was extremely explosive, so her popularity rivaled that of Liu Xin.
Although the two seem to have a good relationship, they also tried their best during the competition. Hong Chen once said bluntly in an interview, "I will be the champion, and no one among the remaining players is my opponent."
Many years later, there are still people I remember the intense PK between them and the sisterly love that emerged from the same show.
Some time ago, on April Fool's Day, Liu Xin's station sister posted something about Hong Chen, which immediately aroused the attention of many netizens.
Speaking of the most explosive moment between the two, it was undoubtedly the night of the finals. Of course, fans of both
are full of confidence and feel that their idols have a chance to win, but unexpectedly the competition system has changed to a competition between the champion candidates, and then they will be scored by ten professional judges. The scores in the two rounds are added up, and the one with the lowest score is eliminated. , the remaining two people continued to fight.
In other words, the first round of competition has little to do with popularity, it all depends on the performance of the players that day.
Unfortunately, Liu Xin chose the song "Old Boy" that could express his own mental journey that night. However, he was too excited and lost control of his emotions during the performance, causing the climax to go out of tune and break.
In the second round of the competition, she failed to adjust in time and forgot her words again.
was unable to control the scene for a while, causing most of the public judges to leave the meeting angrily, leaving only her fans struggling to support her at the scene.
Especially when Hong Chen, Liu Xin's biggest competitor, was singing, the name "Liu Xin" was heard throughout the audience, which obviously interfered with her performance.
The final game was so "crazy" that "we can't win the championship, and you can't even think about it." The "chips" all gave their precious votes to the third championship contender Duan Linxi.
In the end, Duan Lin Xi reaped the benefits, while Liu Xin ended up with the title of "Third Runner-up".
In fact, although the game was over, the farce backstage was still going on. It was reported that fans from both sides got into a fight after the result came out, and Hong Chen finally left under the protection of Wu Jing. The
incident eventually led to the official issuance of a "lake restriction order" and the draft competition was suspended for one year.
Because of this, this draft is regarded by the outside world as "the craziest draft", bar none.
But no matter what, Liu Xin successfully signed a contract with Tianyu after that. He originally thought that he would continue to be popular and have a big career, but unexpectedly he encountered "Waterloo" soon.
After her re-debut, Liu Xin struck while the iron was hot and released an original single "If One Day". At the same time, she also joined the micro-movie "Xiao Xin Dark Night", showing her determination to develop in film, television, singing and music.
But after that, although she had a lot of resources, she didn't seem to have many advantages.
At that time, the talent show was already in the sunset. Although Liu Xin had accumulated popularity through the competition, he still had to produce high-quality works if he wanted to gain the support of more viewers.
She later released her first personal music ep "I'm Your Girlfriend", which achieved good results. The sales volume once exceeded that of her rival Hong Chen at the time, and even beat Li Yuchun.
In August of the same year, Liu Xin went to Taiwan to film the youth fashion drama "Seven Friends", in which she played the role of the handsome and stubborn rebellious cool girl Gu Junye.
But this drama is also vague and silent.
After that, she moved to the OST market and successively sang interludes and ending songs for film and television works such as "Little Times", "Agarwood in the Palace Lock", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Especially "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Chen Xiao finally fulfilled his wish to sing a duet with his idol, but this did not greatly benefit Liu Xin's career.
It was also during this period that she participated in a program called "Star Diving Cube", which led to her first scandal since her debut.
3. "Looking forward to becoming famous at the age of 40"? In the
program, Liu Xin and Wang Yuexin, a male artist who debuted in "Kuai Nan", were rumored to have an affair because of their intimate behavior:
During the competition, Wang Yuexin suddenly revealed in the video: "Liu Xin is my girlfriend."
Faced with everyone's speculation, she responded sweetly while sitting at the waiting table: "Yes."
It is reported that the two met in 2007. They have a common topic because they like music. The two also collaborated in the movie "Four Spring" 》.
But this suspected love affair ended, and the man married his amateur girlfriend Wu Yating in 2015.
But Liu Xin is still walking on the road of dreams, but he has already shown a state of "confusion".
At the age of 30, she changed her image of a dashing and handsome girl in the drama "Beauty Made" and played the role of a beauty expert from the Western Regions.
Although Liu Xin’s makeup is very good, it’s a pity that the work is not popular and is still useless.
At this time, Hong Chen was also "lost to everyone" - after her debut, she acted in stage plays, movies, and recorded variety shows, and also experienced the feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom. Duan Linxi, the
champion, “escaped” from Beijing in 2015 and returned to his hometown of Yunnan. During the most difficult period, he even drove a taxi and bought beef jerky.
Looking at it now, Liu Xin is really the only one who has always insisted on making music.
She releases new songs basically every year, some of which are original. Although her movie works are dull, she never gives up.
In 2019, the "2011 Fast Girls" reunited after 8 years. Liu Xin, Duan Linxi, Li Sidani and others were all present, but Hong Chen was missing.
The next year, Yu Jiali, a fast girl in the same year, got married. All the friends who could go on the wedding day also went. Hong Chen didn't go either. When asked by fans, he only said, "The plane didn't catch up."
The last time Liu Xin attracted attention was when she refused the invitation of "Sister Lang" and appeared in "Summer of the Band" the following year.
In the same year, Li Sidani, one of her best friends during the Kuai Girl competition, successfully became famous with "Lang Jie". In the
show, she had superb dancing skills and was "crazy" supported by judge Cai Guoqing, which marked a turning point in her career.
Liu Xin set out again with his new band "Forgotten Club" in "Summer of the Band".
Her performance style is mostly rock and roll, and the stage is indeed cool and colorful. Her number one fan Chen Xiao came out to support her again.
When it came to rejecting "Sister Lang" and choosing "The Band", Liu Xin was also honest enough, saying that she wanted to be happy more than succeed.
Until this time, she finally chose "Sister Lang", but compared to the first one 4 years ago, the effect of the program now is obviously not as good as before.
However, whether she can become famous through the show may not be Liu Xin's primary goal. After all, as she said herself: happiness is the most important thing.
