Steve Chou, once called the godfather of love songs, why is nobody interested?

After the latest variety show "God-given Voice 2" of Zhejiang Satellite TV was broadcast, Steve Chou, who had not appeared for a long time, performed "I'm sorry" affectionately, which made the audience hear Xiao Gang's long-lost voice. Surprisingly, none of the four music partners chose him as their partner, which made Steve Chou leave the stage after singing only one song!

Many post-80s and post-90s artists who like Steve Chou began to feel wronged for him, thinking that such a talented singer should not be decided by a junior artist. Just like Jacky Cheung, the god of songs, he has always refused to take part in variety shows such as The Singer, because he thinks whether the tutors who sit there pointing fingers or judging are good enough and qualified to comment on their talents.

Xiaogang was born in Taiwan Province, Steve Chou. 1969. He still has his brother and sister at home. His parents often quarrel because of poor family conditions. Steve Chou's mother ran away from home when she was 16 years old. Since then, the mother and son have never seen each other again, and the family is divided. In order to survive and continue to study, Steve Chou began to work everywhere, and he would do anything to make money.

It is with these bitter life experiences that his songs can be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and cause * * *. 1988, Steve Chou, who participated in the campus singing competition, entered the shortlist of "Little Tiger". When he learned that they were going to take the idol route, he gave up signing the contract because he just wanted to make music well.

Fortunately, his singing skills were appreciated by other companies, and then he officially signed into the music world. But it was not until the release of the fourth album that Steve Chou, who debuted with the stage name "Xiaogang", became popular. With the song "Hasa Aceh", the records sold out.

At this time, Jeff Chang Shin-Che Shenche, the prince of love songs, wanted to perform military service, so the record company set a goal to replace Jeff Chang Shin-Che Shenche for Xiaogang, but Xiaogang lived up to expectations and firmly occupied the love song market. Jeff Chang Shin-Che Shenche later said in the program that he had to sing Xiaogang's songs during the military performance, which shows how angry Xiaogang was at that time.

Xiaogang was slowly hidden by the company. 1993 One day, Xiaogang heard Jeff Chang Shin-Che Shenche's new song "Love Like Tide" on the radio, which was specially tailored for him by Jonathan Lee. Xiaogang thought at that time that it was over. Sure enough, Jeff Chang Shin-Che Xinche regained the love song market. 1996, Xiao Gang released his eighth solo album "My Heart is Too Chaos". Although the response in Taiwan Province Province is average, it is very popular in mainland China. In the face of the invitation from the mainland, the company did not agree.

Because the record company has Jeff Chang Shin-Che Shenche, there will be no singers of the same type, which will lead to internal competition. In desperation, Xiao Gang returned to Steve Chou's name and started behind-the-scenes production, writing songs for other singers. 1998, when Steve Chou was writing a song for Kelly Chen, a little girl named Meng Meiqi was just born in Henan. Many singers, such as Na Ying, Kelly Chen, Richie Jen and Emil Wakin Chau, have Steve Chou's works. He wrote many songs in succession, which established his position as the godfather of love songs.

Steve Chou gradually degenerated into a singer. In 2000, Sony Records invited Steve Chou to release a special album, which still included a new song Twilight, but it happened that Sony changed its dynasty and his subsequent promotion of the album stopped. In 200 1 year, Steve Chou came to the mainland and heard his new songs sung all over the street, which made him high-spirited.

In 2004, 15 Steve Chou gave her first solo concert. When he sang "Dusk", he burst into tears and could hardly finish singing. In the next few years, he developed well and produced many songs, such as "Cold in the Lonely Sand Beach", which was very popular.

In 20 12, Steve Chou had to cancel many activities for illness, and his popularity gradually faded. When he came back after his recovery, things had changed. With the continuous rise of young artists, everyone began to recognize that traffic is more than strength. I have participated in various variety shows for many times, but it has not caused much waves. The newly released album has no songs that can be sung in the street.

Steve Chou, who is 50 years old, is very open-minded, and she knows the status quo that she has become a singer. Now he is doing some Shang Yan in third-and fourth-tier cities, and is patted by some scattered audiences with their mobile phones. Songs are still those songs, but the audience is no longer those listeners.

In fact, both Steve Chou and Meng Meiqi often have to obey the arrangement of the program group or the brokerage company. Now is the era of traffic first, perhaps talent is not the first. After all, times have changed! Therefore, even if Steve Chou is chosen, the audience will not buy it in the later stage, and the program ratings will be affected, which is what the program group and music partners do not want to see. Perhaps what Meng Meiqi lacks is a little respect for her predecessors.
