The overnight popularity of the Chopstick Brothers, why one worth hundreds of millions of dollars a life of ordinary?

"Father" must remember this famous song, which was once so popular that even many old people would hum a few lines in their mouths. The song also completely made the ''Chopstick Brothers'' a household name, and Xiao Yang and Wang Taili, the ''middle-aged duo'', managed to stand out.

From ''Old Boy'' to ''Father'' to the brainwashing hit ''Little Apple,'' everything has been a hit, and it's also made the Chopsticks Brothers duo hotter and hotter on the road as singers. However, this is all thanks to Wang Taili. Why do I say that? Because he was the only one who wrote the lyrics to the songs that made him famous, and he has an irreplaceable role to play in both the lyrics and the singing, as well as the formation of the ''Chopsticks Brothers'' group.

But after the fire, the two did not go farther down the road, but went their separate ways, each struggling for their own dreams, and the two ''chopsticks'' one went on to become a director and an actor, while the other is still the ''ordinary old boy'' and gradually withdrew from the public's field of vision.

Wang Taili chased the path of the singer

Wang Taili was born in 1969 in a county in Shandong province, the family situation is not very good, but it is also not bad, his father is doing the business of dumping, according to the reasoning of the old saying, after growing up, Wang Taili is likely to inherit his father's career, but the reality is not so.

Because that era was a time of change, a group of young people were chasing pop culture, and Wang Taili was among them. And he was a very talented player. In the first contact with the music of Wang Taili, he loved it. After the college entrance exam, he immediately put 500 dollars in his pocket and began his journey to the north, embarking on the road to become a singer.

But his path is not so smooth, from the county out of him, to the big city will have so many surprises, a moment did not hold back he soon spent the money, and finally also had to return home, once again to his parents to ask for money, as the saying goes there will be a second time after the first time, and so on and so forth, his aging father lost patience with him.

Befriending Xiao Yang

So Wang Taili went to the Central Academy of Fine Arts with the mentality of ''success or failure''. At the beginning of the opening, he was quickly struck, the teacher that he is not material in this area, and then gradually under this blow, Wang Taili himself began to have their own not good idea, but he still do not want to go home to inherit his father's family business, so he came to work in an advertising agency, for the art foundation of his, there is still a good development in the inside.

And he had no intention of doing better and better in the advertising industry, more and more customers are looking for him, a no, he immediately set up a company of his own, but he had no experience, and soon lost, with only 10,000 dollars left, he began the road of singer-songwriter again.

While until he did not have the possibility of being a singer, but the face of his company's downtrodden look, but also can not care so much, a heart only want to ''curve to save the country'' he, day and night to write lyrics, all these years all the big and small sadness, are written into their own lyrics, as a result, more and more customers looking for him to shoot the advertisement.

Soon, Wang Taili met Xiao Yang, a senior student at the Beijing Film Academy, and the age difference between the two was 11 years, but in this case the two characters did fit together. And Xiao Yang also regarded Wang Taili as his elder brother, to respect the attitude to communicate with each other.

Overnight success

The launch of "Oldboy" has made them an overnight sensation, so more and more clients and movies are coming their way, but fortunately they know they can't overdraw their hard-earned reputation, and need to spend more time on creating.

But they weren't satisfied with that, and expanded their ambitions to include a movie, and then "Old Boy's Fierce Dragon" was released, but even though they were very attentive, the reality of the ratings was that I was cruel. Soon they realized that their ability in the film is not good, and then most of the effort, to the creation of songs, so the brainwashing ''Divine Comedy'' ''Little Apple'' came into being. What's even better is that they also boarded the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and also adapted to the ''most dazzling Little Apple'', which has become a must-have divine song for square dancing nowadays.

Since then, perhaps reaching the upper limit of their abilities, or perhaps the work was already at its peak, none of their subsequent works have scored more than "Little Apple".

Separate from each other

The story of the two also began to fall apart, in 2016 the two will rarely appear together in the public eye, the news of the Chopsticks Brothers disbandment, but also quickly rumored, but this fact is not difficult to guess, after all, the two, whether in education or age, there is a certain generation gap, and the Beijing Film Academy graduates Xiao Yang's dream at the outset is to make a movie, after he became famous, he insisted on his own ideas, chasing the dream to go.

Today, the "Chinatown Detective" fire and then "Manslaughter" this classic drama, so that Xiao Yang gradually became the eyes of the public strength of the actor, and now the value has long exceeded a hundred million.

Conclusion: The Chopsticks Brothers, once a smash hit, have now gone their separate ways and have to be saddened, but they have worked hard for each other, and the final result, though shuddering, is worthy of our respect.
