If you insist on remembering, you may not remember anything, but you must be familiar with the "health songs" that once swept across the country. The lyrics in this song are: "Turn left three times, turn right three times, twist your neck and butt" ... I don't know how many people accompanied me in my childhood.
Twenty-five years ago, after this "Health Song" became popular all over the country, it also made Mavis Fan an idol in the eyes of countless children.
Mavis Fan was born in Taipei on February 27th, 1977. Her ancestral home is Xiantao City, Hubei Province. When Mavis Fan was born, her mother was only 17 years old. She is an unknown female singer who occasionally sings in bars.
And Mavis Fan's father also left this house decisively when he was two years old, because he was at odds with his mother and had a serious preference for sons.
After leaving home, my father didn't mention alimony or even come back to see it.
Fan Mu, who raised her children alone, was not depressed. She took her daughter to live at her grandmother's house, and she worked harder to make money back and forth in the bar, just to create good living conditions for her daughter in the future.
Perhaps because of growing up in a single-parent family, and the way her mother ran for herself desperately, Mavis Fan was particularly distressed by her mother since she was a child.
It is said that she wants her children to succeed, and Fan Mu, who is interested in singing, is determined to train Mavis Fan to become a singer, so her spare time in Mavis Fan is full of music lessons, such as piano and flute, which may be influenced by her mother. Fan Xiaoyan is full of energy every time she goes to extracurricular classes.
Mavis Fan himself revealed a long time later that there were countless nights when I was a child, and my mother came home from work after finishing her homework. They will accompany her to listen to classical music, rock music and jazz, and comfort her tired heart with music.
Mavis Fan, who looked like an elf since he was a child, was spotted by a talent scout at the age of 14 and accepted the first advertisement in his life.
This advertisement only brought some benefits to this family, and did not stir up any waves in the future of Mavis Fan.
The extraordinary fate was to visit her on 1996, because Mavis Fan's temperament was very lovely at that time, and she became a very aura "little witch" for her image agency.
During her tenure as a "Little Witch", Mavis Fan covered the theme songs of Doraemon, Cherry Maruko and other cartoons in Chinese, and later released several songs such as "I love taking a bath", "Brushing my teeth" and "Health Song", which were even more popular.
1998, Mavis Fan boarded the Spring Festival Evening with "Healthy Song". Once the program was broadcast, countless people were brainwashed by this lovely and lively melody. In the coming year, almost all kindergartens/primary schools will have children singing this song along.
At this point, Mavis Fan became the children's favorite little witch sister in the nursery rhymes market.
In order to cater to the status of "Little Witch", Mavis Fan always dresses up exaggeratedly when she comes to power, and her speech movements and tone are quite like performances.
It is said that it is necessary to become famous before it is too late. Mavis Fan, who became famous when he was young, disliked himself less and less. Obviously, he does have a personality similar to the title of witch in his bones. How can he think twice about his behavior, clothes and manners after becoming popular?
With her growing impatience with the appearance of the packaging of the agency, Mavis Fan will communicate with the company at first, telling people that she doesn't want to wear a lace princess dress any more, and she doesn't want to be a naughty girl.
But at that time, the people of "Little Witch" thought that the commercial value she brought was too high, and the company resolutely opposed her opinion, because they thought that if they jumped out of this comfort zone, applause and flowers would leave with them.
After 2000, Mavis Fan was not willing to be a child idol, but wanted to change from a lively and lovely style to a mature and neutral rock punk style.
However, the punk image is not recognized by the outside world, and Mavis Fan, who is just 20 years old, can't understand why. She doesn't know what the market demand is, and she doesn't know why she should act in front of the camera according to the market demand.
I just think that if a person can't live happily, she should change. She wants to be herself.
So the "little witch" sister in the eyes of the child changed. At the height of her popularity, Mavis Fan cut off a long hair. In the eyes of her elders, she did almost everything related to rebellion, such as tattoos and lip rings.
Mavis Fan's behavior puzzled many fans who loved her. At this point, she has decided not to suppress herself in her later life. She once said: "A person has a volcano in his heart, but he has to play a little match girl. 」
Watching Mavis Fan go further and further on the deviant road, fans also avoided her. After the transition, Mavis Fan's album released the creation album "Dear", and the sales volume was pitiful.
Seeing that someone who used to look like a student girl next door has turned into a rebellious girl, many parents will also tell their children not to listen to the songs of "bad girls" in the future. Some media even commented that she played a good hand.
However, Mavis Fan said, "This album has made me who I really am."
Mavis Fan, whose popularity is declining and people revile her, has been informed by the company to put on the princess dress with bubble sleeves again to save the situation, but she has tasted the happiness brought by being herself, and no one can just give up.
So stubborn, she followed this style to create albums such as "peerless actress" and "Fushou Lu Xu", but Mavis Fan, who has lost her popularity, failed to retain her fans through her favorite music, which made her suffer more abuse and doubt.
These voices caused Mavis Fan's weight to plummet by 65,438+00 kilograms at that time, and made her fall into depression. Depression followed her for three years, during which she heard voices and hallucinations countless times, and when hallucinations appeared, she would see the little devil in a trance. This shows that this title can be regarded as her nightmare.
During this period, Mavis Fan once admitted that the abuse from the outside world, the query from the brokerage company and the expectations of her parents were all the sources of her pressure.
Since the depression began, Mavis Fan has been hiding from going out, and no one has visited her. Mavis Fan, who knew that she was sick at first, would take medicine actively, but she found that she would feel empty during drug control.
For a person who needs inspiration, without joys and sorrows, it is equivalent to changing a method of "death", so she decided to stop taking drugs for creation, but the situation became more serious.
After stopping taking the medicine, she will have self-harm behavior. The worst time was when she tried to jump off the 23rd floor to free herself. Fortunately, her boyfriend hugged her in despair.
This man's name is Zhou Junwei. Like Mavis Fan, he is also a singer in Taiwan Province. At that time, his love for Mavis Fan was endless, because Mavis Fan of a single-parent family longed to be loved, but he slowly pushed it away because of his rebellious temper.
Zhou Junwei's personality is very boring. When Mavis Fan takes him to play with his friends, Zhou Junwei always looks at others with a bad face, which makes people around him think that he hates himself. But as long as Mavis Fan appears in Zhou Junwei's sight, Zhou Junwei seems to be a teenager in Seeds of Love.
Xiao S once broke the news in the program: Mavis Fan is actually a person who is very afraid of cold, especially before going to bed in winter, he even shivers when he gets into the chilly bed.
Zhou Junwei first discovered Mavis Fan's problem, and then every time before going to bed, he would warm the bed with the hot air of the hair dryer, and then let Mavis Fan lie in bed.
Aya, Mavis Fan's best friend, also said, "Zhou Junwei is like her servant".
At the same time, he will study psychology books privately, because he wants Mavis Fan to get better soon.
After a long time, when Mavis Fan talked about that frustrating day, her eyes were always a little tearful. She said, "other boyfriends may be just teasing, but he is doing it dutifully", so "friends are tired and boyfriends are more tired."
Mavis Fan is actually a person who doesn't like to cause trouble to others.
After her depression recovered, she broke up with Zhou Junwei: "I don't want to be your trouble. You are so kind to me, I feel both sweet and painful. "
Later, she recorded this gloomy day in her diary and published an anthology called Scribble, which was full of her inner pain and struggle.
In 2007, Mavis Fan was reborn after successfully overcoming depression at the age of 30. At that time, she still had short hair and exaggerated tattoos, and still lived in her favorite way.
At the age of 30, she spent money to form her own band, because she found that rock and roll, a self-releasing character, was her favorite, so she contacted underground musicians in Taiwan Province Province to form a 100% band and named her independent production company "Fish Eating Grass". At this time, Mavis Fan was finally able to compose her favorite music at will.
That year, the band released its debut album Breakthrough. The new album didn't sell well, so she bought it herself, even if it was performed for a small audience, she was happy.
This feeling of loneliness didn't last long. In 2009, the band released its new album Hong Haier again, and Mavis Fan won the Best Album Producer Award for "The Master".
This "little witch" who insisted on her original dream finally made a difference in music in her favorite way.
Many people who don't know Mavis Fan will wonder how the innocent little girl in front of the camera became the devil wears Prada. But the questioner forgot that from the beginning, the design of a pure little girl was not the path that Mavis Fan chose for himself.
Last year, 465,438+0-year-old Mavis Fan had a conversation with his best friend Aya in the "Adventure Life" program:
Mavis Fan: "I am now in a state of semi-withdrawal from the entertainment circle."
Aya: "You are so talented and beautiful, you should come out and let more people see you".
Mavis Fan: "I really don't want to be seen".
Indeed, Mavis Fan, who successfully transformed after forming a band, gradually faded in the entertainment circle. Even if some songs are released occasionally, they are only minority songs, and there is no wanton publicity and marketing.
"I know I lost a lot of fans doing this concert, but what I want is someone who likes me and my music, not that image. What makes me happy is that at least some people can understand and some people will like it. Then I feel that there are companions on this road, which will be cherished. It has surpassed music. "
Perhaps Mavis Fan, who has been doing rock music from the beginning, has thought clearly, even if he has no more shouts and flowers, as long as he has a place where he can enjoy music to his heart's content.
When she decided to get rid of the status of "little witch", the label that she didn't like being controlled was exposed.
Mavis Fan, 42, also knows that her happiness should not disappear because she is not understood. Now she just needs to be the one who wants to do whatever she wants, even if there are only three or two confidants.
Mavis Fan said, "I just went back to the way I should go." .
From a lovely girl with a halo in her childhood to a little witch who was criticized by everyone during her fame; From the rebellious bad girl in people's eyes during the Great Depression to being yourself in the age of no doubt.
Mavis Fan experienced the ups and downs of his life and finally reconciled with his inner self.
