Looking at today's singing group, the Chopsticks Brothers and Rising Sun Yang Gang's combination of members of the achievements of the difference is obvious, the Nine Moon Miracle of the husband and wife for various reasons, divorce ended, An and Cavalry with an original work of art to win the title after the ripples again.
When you think about it, so far it seems that only the Phoenix Legend is still out of the circle of the existence of the square dance, down to the preschool children, have more or less heard their songs.
Phoenix Legend although in the "Avenue of Stars" is the 2005 runner-up fame, but more than the 2012 championship Ann and the cavalry is also recognized by the audience. So what exactly caused this phenomenon?
We first come to understand the combination of Ann and Cavalry in the form of Ann is a Han Chinese girl quiet, formerly known as Xue Xiumin, Cavalry is a Manchu Han, formerly known as E star, the two were once lovers, and now they are husband and wife. In 2006 together came to Beijing, became a family of northern drift.
Quiet is the lead singer and recorder drummer, and Cavalry is the lead singer and guitarist. The two dress in a more ethnic style, and have always insisted on originality and ballads in their singing, and have insisted on adopting their own original compositions in the "Avenue of Stars" competition.
Their songs have a variety of key changes, and the lyrics are simple and clear, containing meanings that need to be quiet and listen to the songs in order to realize.
"Red Mountain Fruit" is a love song with bold and natural lyrics that nakedly expresses the pursuit of love and yearning, but is not gaudy;
"Dowry" in which a sister makes new clothes for her sister, who can't wait to wear them and then go to see her sweetheart, with nervousness and excitement and shyness portrayed in the rendering of the provinces;
"Three Years and Three Days" depicts a young A woman waits three years and three days for her beloved, and is determined not to compromise in the face of her father's desire to let her marry someone else;
"Oh, I want to" seems to let the audience hear the girl's youthful liveliness, the boy's sunshine and health, the clear water of the spring, and the refreshing wind of the mountain, which gives people unlimited fantasies;
"The Little Yellow Dog Under the Swing" has the girl swinging on a swing with the little yellow dog by her side and the boy wanting to swing with the girl but forgetting to do it because of his forgetfulness of the dog. Swinging with the girl but because of forgetting to bring meat bones can not approach the girl, listening to the song in front of the eyes as if the lyrics sung by the screen, so people can not help but bloom aunt smile ......
It is also because of this, the two in the identity of the original ballad musicians eventually won the crown, although successfully countered Yunfei to win the title, but it makes countless The audience once felt that it was hard to get even, and it also led to a lot of discussion.
Some people feel that the two men's work is not broad enough to reach a wide audience, unlike Yunfei's songs, which are infectious and ****ing; others say that a cover song has no soul, and that the original work deserves to be admired.
It is true that just on various social short video platforms, many previous songs have been successfully covered and become the soundtracks of short videos with a wide range of uses, but the real originals have long been discarded in the Pacific Ocean.
There may be viewers who say that no matter who sings it, being able to be remembered by the public is the key, and the author doesn't deny this view, but I wonder how you'd feel if your hard-earned creation was taken and utilized by someone else and gained dividends. The author has experienced this, so I am not willing to do so.
Back to the point, Ann and the Cavalry's music is the two men's feelings and emotions about real life, with a distinctive and strong personal style, simple and rustic tunes, and a storytelling and graphic sense that is extremely rich and fulfilling.
Like in the reinforced concrete world suddenly appeared in the quiet valley, natural and pure, so that people open up; like in a pool of stagnant water injected with fresh vitality, the songs fluttering elusive.
The style is unique, listening to it alone or when driving on a picnic will have a different flavor, but put in the fast-paced moment, it will seem a bit out of place, just as wearing a Han Chinese dress you fall into the crowd, will inevitably usher in a very high rate of return.
While there is no shortage of listeners who like it, it is not recognized by the wider audience.
Phoenix Legend's songs belong to the ethnic pop songs, the songs are popular and more grounded, suitable for a strong decibel playback, and along with the rise of the square dance, naturally, it is also loved by more listeners.
Plus the fact that Ann and the Cavalry didn't go on to release more great work after they became famous, but instead continued to eat their words - singing "Red Mountain Fruit" - one performance at a time.
With no original work coming out for a long time, and their pre-fame work not reaching a particularly large audience, the two naturally faded into obscurity.
Besides the fact that they are both stars from the Avenue of Stars, the two groups don't really have anything in common.
Phoenix Legend has found a path that suits its own development, and thus has always had a place in the entertainment industry; An and Cavalry adhere to their own ballad originality, leaving behind a lot of fresh and natural excellent songs, the path is not the same, and naturally, it is also unmatched.
When it comes to An and Cavalry, although the duo was formed in 2010, they met in 2003.
The two met in the Chaoyang Township of the Twin Cities, a native peasant girl Xue Xiumin, and a Daxuishu boy, E Mingxing, who visited his mother in the countryside with a guitar in his hand, and the two bonded over their songs.
Xue Xiumin is the fourth sister in the family, sister are working in the garment factory, she also stayed for a period of time, but she understands that this is not her dream, in the support of her sisters, she sang from the small county wedding singers to the eight villages in ten miles know.
E star's father was falsely imprisoned, his mother raised three sons alone, the enormous economic pressure to make the original hobby of music, he temporarily gave up his dream, grew up to adulthood, he picked up the dream of their own hands to earn the tuition fees enrolled in the Conservatory of Music.
Xue Xiumin in the performance always pull on the E star, a play guitar, a singing, the two tacit understanding is getting better and better, the two hearts also gradually into.
E star started to leave, but also took Xue Xiumin's heart, he completed his studies after returning to Harbin, signed with the bar and made a stage name for himself: Cavalry. He wants to be the steed that rides the grasslands.
When his career was in order, he called Xue Xiumin and invited her to join him. Give me some time, three days at the most, and I'll be there," Xue Xiumin said.
Despite stern objections from her parents and sisters, Xue Xiumin quietly came to the cavalry. But the combination of the two did not last long, because the cavalry's family changes terminated, the cavalry went to Beijing to develop, Xue Xiumin returned home.
After eight months, Xue Xiumin still decided to run to Cavalry and gave herself the stage name: Quiet. She hoped she could be quiet enough to make music.
The two of them created many straight-to-the-heart folk songs along the way, reaping the rewards of an immensely precious love, and finally getting the affirmation of Quiet's family. After a small fortune, they continued to appear on major music programs and eventually became the overall winner of "Avenue of Stars".
Today's quiet also did a live broadcast, and the interaction with the audience in the "red mountain fruit" has been very popular. In fact, doing live broadcast is not a difficult thing to say, any profession has its reason and meaning.
While the number of people in the live broadcast room is very few, but quiet also once again found a place where you can show off your singing voice, the number of people, and what does it matter?
The most important thing is that she can once again bring the audience an ethereal voice like that of a genie.
