Rising Sun Yang Gang fell on the streets to sell their songs, singing desperately no one cares, and now, singing Wang Feng's famous song "In the Spring" again, but no one has been bought. Many netizens mocked the red-hot duo, who are now out of money before falling into such a state.
Grassroots star Rising SunRising Sun used to be very popular, as a grassroots singer, they used to sing Wang Feng's famous song "In the Spring" in a touching way. The deep and moving lyrics, combined with their own experiences, gave their rendition a high degree of storytelling, and the duo exploded onto the national scene with the song.
Born in 1966 in the Shangqiu area, Wang Xu loved to sing from a young age, and after graduating from high school, he spent 45 yuan to buy his first guitar. He used to form a singing and dancing troupe with a group of friends and traveled all over the world to perform, burned a boiler, sold fruits, sold water fried buns, and worked as a resident singer in a bar. For more than a decade, he has been drifting around Beijing, living a life of no fixed abode.
Liu was born in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang province, in a small, unassuming rural village. He was a soldier in the army and came to Beijing after he was discharged from the army. Liu Gang's life in the north is also a lot of hardship, a few tears, wandering outside, always full of heartache. The two coincidentally ran into each other, because they have the same love for music ****, and have similar life experiences, so they hit it off and formed the group Rising Sun Yang Gang.
In 2010, the video of Wang Xu and Liu Gang's cover of the song "Springtime" was widely circulated on the Internet, and their heartfelt vocals, combined with their life experiences, touched many people. In the same year, Rising Sun participated in the civilian talent show "Avenue of Stars" held by CCTV, which let more people know them. Relying on their profound singing skills, they went all the way through the competition and got the good result of the runner-up in the annual finals.
Then, Rising Sun participated in CCTV's variety show "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" and got a performance slot for the gala.In February 2011, they took the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and at the same time, they exploded on the national scene. The grassroots duo, Rising Sun Yang Gang, has a very inspirational story to tell and has inspired many people. Rising Sun Yang Gang's explosion is known as the grassroots class rebound, but also let a lot of northern people see hope.
Since then, Rising Sun has become a regular at major galas, receiving announcements and releasing solo singles. Their success story, as well as their perseverance and hard work on the road to success, has brought warmth and hope to many ordinary people with music dreams. But Rising Sun's mentality gradually expanded after they became popular, and they did a series of things that made them lose the audience's favor, and the scandal-ridden band was eventually forced to retire.
and Wang Feng's copyright controversyRising Sun is through the singing of Wang Feng's work "in the spring" to become popular, at first because they are grassroots singers, Wang Feng very generous to let them sing their own works. After the duo became popular, Wang Feng even invited them to be his concert guests.
But after Rising Sun became popular, they participated in a lot of commercial performances through Wang Feng's song "In the Spring" and made countless profits through this song. We all know that musical works can be entertained by everyone in private, but if they are used as commercial performances, royalties are involved. At first, the duo is just a small northern drifter, singing the song "Springtime" is at most self-entertainment, but after becoming popular, they still use the song as their work to participate in commercial performances for their own profit, which is already a serious infringement of the law.
Wang Feng in private many times and Xu Ri Yang Gang communication royalties, but Xu Ri Yang Gang but ignored, communication after the failure, Wang Feng a paper will be Xu Ri Yang Gang sued the court. In the end, the court ruled that Xu Ri Yang Gang prohibited any commercial form of singing the song, Xu Ri Yang Gang must also apologize to Wang Feng on public social platforms.
Afterward, Wang Feng was interviewed by the media, and he said that his heart was true when he wanted to help Rising Sun. But if the time backward, or will choose to use legal weapons to protect their rights.
Scandal after scandalBesides being banned from singing "In the Spring" by Wang Feng, Rising Sun's character has also been questioned. After they became famous, the duo's life changed drastically, and the duo participated in countless commercial performances and received a great deal of fame and fortune. After they became famous, they changed from being peasant singers to big stars. The two have been in the same position for a long time, but they have been in the same position for a long time, but they have been in the same position for a long time.
But the next scandal exposed by Rising Sun, let the audience can not stand, Liu Gang was photographed driving a luxury car to break the red light, many times in violation of traffic regulations. There is also exposure of Liu Gang in a high-grade neighborhood in the middle of driving a luxury car and the elderly conflict, because the elderly mobility is not easy to press the horn, the two have conflicts, Liu Gang even from the trunk out of the iron rod, ready and the old man hands. In broad daylight, so bold, let people think Liu Gang has been swollen to the extreme.
The reason why Rising Sun has become so popular is mainly because of this kind of closeness of their grassroots singers, the audience sees them just like seeing people around us, always willing to give them some help and encouragement. Once they are out of their class and rise to the category of stars and public figures, the audience will treat them with high standards and strict requirements.
But their personal level and moral quality are far from reaching this level, and after being banned by Wang Feng, they have no musical works of their own, and can't rely on stories alone to support them. Especially with the successive scandals that have come to light, the audience has been disappointed in them to the extreme. As the saying goes, if you don't deserve virtue, you'll suffer from it. After becoming popular, their mentality swelled up and they lost their original beginnings, making them gradually disappear from people's sight.
After 2015, there were few public performances, and the grassroots group was forgotten. It wasn't until this year that it was discovered that the former grassroots duo had reunited again, but they were no longer as brilliant as they were back then.The pair were dressed in plain clothes and looked very down and out as they sang at a street stall. Although the duo sang their hit song "Springtime," the response was so mediocre that not only did no one stop by, but the passing audience also just looked away.
Netizens who have seen this have complained that they are no longer on the streets, and that they should have squandered all the money they earned before. More netizens believe that people should be down-to-earth, after the red can not forget the original, down to the present situation, all is their own fault.
After 2015, it was reported that Liu Gang had gone back to his hometown to farm, but at the beginning of this year, the two got together again at a dinner party. What's intriguing is that the relationship between the two looked extraordinarily distant, not only did they not sit together, but there was very little communication at the table.
It is obvious that the duo should have parted ways after their fall from grace back in the day, and now that they are together again, it should be for the benefit of the people.
To be able to become popular once was a combination of their songs and their own experiences, plus a little bit of luck. It's a shame that after all the blackmail, the audience is no longer tolerant of them, and those stories will only become jokes. I hope they can be good, down-to-earth people, with enough personal cultivation, in order to let them go more long.
