How did the "tear-jerking singer" disappear?

Not long after Yang Zongwei became famous after participating in "Super Avenue of Stars", he got the opportunity to cooperate with Li Zongsheng. At that time, it was rumored that Li Zongsheng said: "In the Chinese music scene, there are only three singers he admires most, namely Jacky Cheung and Eason Chan. And Yang Zongwei."

Later on the show, my old friend Wang Weizhong asked Li Zongsheng if he had said this.

Li Zongsheng replied: "That's not what I said. Jacky Cheung represents an era, and Eason Chan represents an era. The aesthetics of each era are different. Yang Zongwei has the opportunity to define an aesthetic that is now called good singing. ”

In 2004, the talent show “Super Girl” launched by Hunan Satellite TV became popular across the country, setting off imitations in the Chinese TV circle. For a time, dozens of TV channels launched the same type of talent show, Chinese The pop music world thus entered the era of talent shows.

In 2007, Li Zongsheng was holding the "Reason and Sensibility" world tour concert, and the Taiwanese television circle launched the talent show "Super Avenue of Stars".

23-year-old college student Yang Zongwei made a bold statement when he appeared on the Avenue of Stars stage for the first time: "My mother gave me this singing voice to move the audience across Taiwan."

When he first came to the stage of "Avenue of Stars", Yang Zongwei had straight bangs and facial features completely exposed. Roger, the show's stylist, shook his head and the audience made fun of him as a "cave man". He was very frustrated: "Why are the other contestants princes?" , am I a caveman? ”

As the competition progressed, Yang Zongwei conquered the audience across Taiwan with his outstanding voice. The audience believed that he “saved our ears and emotions” and everyone liked him very much. Shy and dull on stage, easily moved to tears, Yang Zongwei quickly became the most popular star on the Avenue of Stars.

In May of that year, the newspaper published the first report about Yang Zongwei, praising him as "good at singing".

Xiao Jingteng came to the gym to challenge Yang Zongwei. The two fought hard, and Xiao Jingteng became famous because of it. "Betrayal", a duet between the two, rushed to the Taiwan KTV Mandarin on-demand rankings within a week. champion.

At that time, as long as Yang Zongwei sang a song every week on the "Super Avenue of Stars", the on-demand rate in Taiwan KTV would immediately increase. At that time, some media predicted that Yang Zongwei would be the "rising star" of Taiwanese pop music.

But "tomorrow" hasn't come yet, right and wrong have come first.

Two weeks later, it was revealed that Yang Zongwei had falsified his age. Because he had been dropped out of school, served in the military, and had attended three universities, his actual age was already 29.

He was then convicted of forgery by the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office for altering his identity card and was given deferred prosecution.

When Yang Zongwei was being punished with compulsory labor, fans flocked to the scene. The police station was afraid of causing trouble and sent several more police officers to "escort" him.

Later, Yang Zongwei returned to the stage on the Avenue of Stars, admitted his mistake and took the initiative to withdraw from the competition.

He cried on the stage and said: "At that time, I just wanted to sing, so I wrote the registration form using the age that a senior should have."

Fans begged him not to withdraw from the competition. , everyone in the audience cried with him.

After leaving the Avenue of Stars, in November 2007, Yang Zongwei signed a contract with agent Xu Anjin.

In January 2008, more than ten famous musicians including Ashin (Mayday), Tanya Tanya, Xiao Huangqi, Yao Ruolong, etc. created Yang Zongwei’s first album "Pigeon". This album ranked first in Taiwan with 70,000 copies. Ranked first in regional record sales rankings in the first half of the year.

The single "Onion" won the Taipei Voice Hit Fm Annual Top 100 Singles poll. Yang Zongwei sang "If you are willing to peel off my heart layer by layer, you will find that you It’s my most depressing and deepest secret.”

He is known as the “Tear-Jerking Song God” because of his contagious crying voice.

While their careers were going well, there was friction between Yang Zongwei and his agent Xu Anjin.

Xu Anjin accused Yang Zongwei of playing a big name after becoming famous with "Super Avenue of Stars", playing off and engaging in confrontation. He also pretended to be a publicist to inquire about remuneration and contract details from the organizer because he did not trust the company.

Yang Zongwei applied to the court for early termination of the contractual relationship with the brokerage company, saying with a hint: "Everyone must be careful when choosing partners to protect themselves."

Senior Bai Bingbing came out to be the peacemaker and could not persuade Yang Zongwei, so he had no choice but to leave: "It's a pity that the child is too shallow."

The contract lawsuit between Yang Zongwei and Xu Anjin lasted for a year, until 2010 It only ended in January, and Yang Zongwei's career also stalled for a year.

Hsiao Jam Teng, who made his "Avenue of Stars" debut at the same time as him, has topped all major rankings with "Princess".

After parting ways with Xu Anjin, Yang Zongwei signed a contract with gold medal agent Ge Fuhong.

Ge Fuhong asked him: "Who do you want to be your producer?" Yang Zongwei blurted out Li Zongsheng, so Ge ??Fuhong arranged for Yang Zongwei to go to Beijing to cooperate with Li Zongsheng.

At this time, Li Zongsheng was busy forming a "longitudinal line" with Luo Dayou, Zhou Huajian, and Zhang Chenyue, while rushing to produce "Primary Colors" for Yang Zongwei.

To create "Primary Colors", Li Zongsheng only planned to use four instruments. He wanted to subtract Yang Zongwei and hoped that he would return to the simplest musical state.

Li Zongsheng adopted three songs composed by Yang Zongwei. When he was about to sing, Yang Zongwei found that the lyrics and music had been changed. He planned to talk to Li Zongsheng, but Li Zongsheng did not give him this opportunity.

When he entered the recording studio, Yang Zongwei showed off all his skills. As soon as Li Zongsheng heard it, he ignored him for two weeks and recorded the first song for a month.

Li Zongsheng pointed at him and said: "Don't think you are good at singing. I know you talent show singers all think you are good at singing."

Yang Zongwei told jokes to please Li Zongsheng , Li Zongsheng still had a cold face.

Suffering a shock, Yang Zongwei felt unwell and called Ge Fuhong that night, saying that he wanted to return to Taiwan.

I told Li Zongsheng again that the weather in Beijing is too cold, I have a cold and my throat hurts.

Of course Yang Zongwei did not return to Taiwan, and the subsequent relationship with Li Zongsheng became very awkward.

When Li Zongsheng came to discuss the work with Yang Zongwei, no matter what opinions Li Zongsheng gave, Yang Zongwei always said "Okay" and "Thank you, brother."

In the end, whatever the two said was conveyed through the executive producer.

Ge Fuhong is in Taiwan and cares about Beijing. He reminded Yang Zongwei that he should give Li Zongsheng some encouragement.

So Yang Zongwei wrote a long text message, ending with "Brother, I love you." Li Zongsheng did not reply.

On the last day of recording, Li Zongsheng had to rush home to cook for his daughter. He said goodbye to the staff outside the recording room without telling Yang Zongwei and left.

After Yang Zongwei finished recording, he turned down the dinner party with everyone and bought the earliest flight the next day. On the way to the airport in the taxi early the next morning, Yang Zongwei burst into tears, and it lasted for a long time. He doesn't even want to go to Beijing again.

The next year, Li Zongsheng talked about Yang Zongwei on Wang Weizhong's show. Li Zongsheng said that he didn't like Yang Zongwei's crying tone. This style was inappropriate in his production. It was too pleasing to the audience. Tell Yang Zongwei: "Don't make music just to conform to the public's aesthetics."

Hsiao's momentum is just right here, and the Taipei Arena once again staged a grand event of flash sales at the beginning of ticket sales, and then sales for additional shows and then flash sales.

In 2013, Xiao Jingteng’s world tour that lasted for one year and eight months was successfully completed. Yang Zongwei decided to go to Beijing to seek development and participated in the variety show "I Am a Singer".

In the "I Am a Singer" competition, Yang Zongwei went against the wishes of the economic company and chose "Reserved", which was not widely popular in the market and the style was not suitable for him. As expected by the company, he was quickly dismissed. disuse.

After a bad start, he was depressed for a time and could only comfort himself with the thought, "Someone will be eliminated. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

Later, when he stood in the resurrection match, Yang Zongwei chose the relatively unpopular "Wandering" and "Greed". Because he gave up his obsession with winning or losing, he performed very well while being completely relaxed and won the title. Third place in the finals.

"I Am a Singer" has made Yang Zongwei's popularity soar and opened up the mainland market.

He still has not grasped this opportunity.

At the end of the same year, Yang Zongwei participated in CCTV's large-scale charity music program "Dream Star Partner".

When selecting songs in the early stage, he and his partner Jike Junyi were not familiar with the songs, and they were still listening to the accompaniment and memorizing the lyrics until before going on stage.

On the stage, the two sang "Sorry" and "Do You Know Who You Are" respectively, echoing each other throughout.

In the PK match, they lost to the pairing of Alua Zhuo and Cheng Lin, who were ranked low in the previous match, and entered the undetermined group.

The day before the elimination round recording, the two people who were over-stressed suddenly announced their withdrawal from the "Dream Star Partner" competition, causing the program to be unable to be recorded normally.

The host Sa Beining rebuked on the stage: "Yang Zongwei and Jike Junyi feel that this is a pressure and challenge that they cannot accept. They feel that they do not have enough mental state to face their partners on the stage. They left in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to tell them that in fact, the real competition on this stage is not the skill of music, but the soul of music and the character of music."

Leave "Dream." "Celebrity Partner", Jike Junyi continues to release albums and hold concerts; Yang Zongwei continues to appear in variety shows.

Yang Zongwei became popular again four years later when he partnered with Zhang Bichen to sing the ending song "Liang Liang" in the costume drama "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

The bits of sadness shown in the melody and lyrics are integrated with the voices of Yang Zongwei and Zhang Bichen, singing the helplessness and emotion of the long years. At that time, the song was widely sung, and none of the many covers could match the original version.

However, this song title was ultimately considered by netizens to be Yang Zongwei’s summary of his singing career.

In 2019, Modern Brothers lead singer Liu Yuning promoted the new album's finale song "Ah Tacit Understanding" on Weibo.

A few hours later, Yang Zongwei retweeted his own performance of "Ah Tacit Understanding" and wrote "Different moods, different realms.", thus getting into a dispute.

This incident once again affected the subsequent development of Yang Zongwei’s singing career.

When he was a child, Yang Zongwei had sparse eyebrows, and his two eyebrows combined were only as many as one of others. His friends made fun of him for being a "one-eyebrow Taoist".

Later he joined the school track and field team, and sports allowed him to attract attention. Once when he returned to the classroom after training, he found some cards and gifts from girls on his seat. He was very happy.

But when he got home, his mother ordered him to return them to others one by one. His mother told him: "You are not very good, so don't lie to others."

Yang Zongwei went to the girls' classrooms one by one and returned the gifts to them. At that moment, he was very embarrassed. My own girl complained.

From then on, he never accepted anything from girls. He began to like to write letters to the people he liked, but he would not send them out, let alone let the other party know his feelings.

Before participating in the "Super Avenue of Stars", Yang Zongwei participated in Xiaosong and Xiaobai's singing competition. Xiaobai ridiculed him for being ugly and suggested that he wear a mask: "To be honest, just a face of about 50 is enough. , you know? Half of it, there is no need to back it.”

When Yang Zongwei became popular on the Avenue of Stars program, he secretly disobeyed the producer’s orders and went out to buy breakfast in flip-flops and shorts, and was caught by the crowd. Surrounded for signatures.

Once when he was visiting a night market, he accidentally kicked over the goods at a stall. He immediately lowered his head and apologized, thinking he was going to be scolded. Unexpectedly, the stall owner not only did not scold him, but also pulled him to take pictures.

From that day on, he didn't know how to feel. If someone liked him, he would not be scolded again.

In Yang Zongwei's first album, he once wrote a song "Look".

The lyrics read: Turn around and find a direction to hide, acquiescing to the polluted should. One day when you look at it calmly, you will find how narrow you are, so why is there no love? If you look at the extra blank space, you will It is filled with warmth. Look at the feathers on my body slowly shining through the singing.

The child who is always laughed at uses his talent as a weapon to please others, and is so proud that he forgets his form in the face of sudden praise.
