In 2005, Joker Xue made his debut through the program "My Style, My Show". In 2006, Xue Zhiqian released his first album. He composed 6 songs and 5 lyrics by himself. The album's title song "Serious Snow" has become popular in the streets, and almost everyone can't help but hum a few lines. The album sold 200,000 copies in one month, making Joker Xue the mainland male singer with the highest album sales in 2006. The name Joker Xue appeared in people's sight in an unexpected way.

Sudden popularity is not uncommon in this ever-changing entertainment industry, and it is only natural for a person's popularity to decline until he is completely forgotten by the public. "Serious Snow" will still be hummed by people occasionally, but Xue Zhiqian is no longer mentioned by people.

I don’t know whether it’s because the record company is unreliable, or because success requires waiting for opportunities. In short, Xue Zhiqian’s life has begun to enter a long “cold winter.”

In 2010, when Xue Zhiqian was preparing for his new album "A Few of You", the company could not spare any extra money to promote him. Xue Zhiqian said: "I remember the most difficult time was when I was fighting with the company for the press conference of "A Few of You". I asked if it would be okay to pay 5,000 yuan for the venue fee? 3,000 yuan would be fine, but the company said they had no money, so I had to Talk about sponsorship by yourself. I used to think that people don’t need to be so material, because companies can invest money, but then I found that you have to rely on yourself, and dreams must be behind reality.” So Joker Xue started to open women’s clothing. Shop, open a hotpot restaurant. Everyone has questioned how the singer Xue Zhiqian became like this, turning into a materialist who makes money. What followed immediately was overwhelming contempt, and vitriolic ridicule and abuse.

But Xue Zhiqian invested all the money he earned in his music career. If someone else invests more than 1 million in an album, it is considered a sky-high price. However, he strives for excellence and feels that investing two yuan in an album is a sky-high price. Three million is also appropriate. Xue Zhiqian's attitude towards music has never changed because of anything.

Later, Xue Zhiqian said on Weibo: "I started a women's clothing business and opened a hot pot restaurant. I can sleep 5 hours a day. I can work hard to make money to subsidize music, because I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to prove it. "Myself." Finally, he said: "I am not a businessman, I am a singer." Xue Zhiqian has never forgotten his original intention, and he has seriously placed his dreams at the top of his life.

However, the world is so unfair. Not all your serious treatment and hard work will definitely get equivalent rewards. Xue Zhiqian persists day after day, but success is still not coming. The words "remain true to your original intention" are sensational to say, but it is not easy to do at all, especially when you can't see hope.

But even during such a long and hopeless time, Xue Zhiqian still silently persisted in his music career, putting his persistence and affectionately into his music.

Xue Zhiqian once sang in a song: If the world is dark, I am actually very beautiful. Fans know that no matter whether the world is dark or not, the way he persists is always beautiful.

A paragraph has become popular on the Internet, called Gao Xiaosong’s selfie, Ma Jianguo’s painting, Apostle’s link, Ding Yichen’s song, Joker Xue’s joke, Liu Quanyou’s hand, Leisure Lu’s nails, And Wang Sicong’s dog.

As a result, Xue Zhiqian was awarded the title of Weibo Joker and became a very popular "Internet celebrity". Every time his unexpected jokes always appear on Weibo's hot search list.

In 2016, some people said that this year was the year of Xue Zhiqian.

This year, Xue Zhiqian quickly became popular as a joker, and with his music, he became popular in the entertainment industry at an unexpected speed. This year, Joker Xue participated in more than 20 variety shows. Joker, who was rarely seen on TV before, appeared on major TV stations with a dominating attitude. This year, Xue Zhiqian won the Best Male Singer Award. The song "Actor" was played up to 400 million times in one year. This song also won the 2015 Golden Melody Award.

This year, Xue Zhiqian released singles such as "Just Right" and "Beginner", each of which rushed into the major music charts with an unstoppable attitude. This year is undoubtedly the year of Xue Zhiqian. The huge aura of dreams once again enveloped Joker Xue. People said that he was a popular joker, a variety show expert, a singer with both good looks and talent. All kinds of praises poured in towards him overwhelmingly.

Xue Zhiqian turned his suffering and frustration into a playful smile, and turned his helplessness and bitterness into unscrupulousness. He was full of witty words on stage and made people laugh in unexpected ways. He was affectionate in his songs and interpreted his attitude as a singer with a serious and persistent attitude.

Xue Zhiqian said: Every song must be done carefully. In fact, I have been doing this from beginning to end, but no one knows. I found that my persistence was right. Although I have persisted for ten years and look very embarrassed, I feel that it is right.

Ten years of persistence finally brought him a brilliant year in 2016. Fame may come late, but it will never be absent. This year is undoubtedly the best recognition for Xue Zhiqian.

Xue Zhiqian became popular because of his jokes, and moved the public with his dream of being a singer. But after he became popular, he signed contracts with major variety shows and consumed himself excessively. Doubts and criticism from the outside world have befallen him again. Many people have ridiculed him for "making money" and "hyping up". It seems that he is not the Joker Xue who is willing to be poor for the sake of music.

Later he said: "I want to write songs, I want to come up with an album, I want to hold concerts, and I want the whole world to hear my singing. But I am poor, and I have to work hard to make money. I have to tell jokes that even I find boring, so that I can become popular and support my music.”

Xue Zhiqian has never been smooth sailing, and he has experienced too much sadness and helplessness along the way. He knows that dreams require the support of money to go further and fly higher.

On a variety show, he said seriously that he is a joker, but he is also a singer. Xue Zhiqian's love for music has never changed.

In an interview, he repeatedly emphasized to everyone not to buy his EP, just search online if you want to hear it. He said: I am not releasing albums to make money, I just want everyone to listen to my music. If you think it sounds good and you feel that Xue Zhiqian is really serious about making music, I will be satisfied.

He is still the sincere Joker Xue, the Joker Xue who never forgets his original intention. Time has made Joker Xue more mature and stronger, and his dreams have become deeper and brighter. After years of waiting and perseverance, what has changed is the growth of the years, but what remains unchanged is his attitude towards music. The ups and downs temper the dream to a more brilliant glory.
