In 2014, "My Skateboard Shoes" became a hit.

So, we met the singer.

His name is Pang Mailang.

He is obviously from Shaanxi, but in the interview he insisted that he was born in Taiwan, "I said that if you were born in Taiwan, you were born in Taiwan";

Later he changed his story and said that he was from "Humidity Ratio" "Hybrid", but when asked where this magical place was, he couldn't tell him. He just emphasized: Just talk about humidifying Piccolo, don't worry about where this place is;

His identity The information showed that he was born in 1984, but he made sure to say that he was born in 1990. He also said: "I didn't apply for the ID card myself. I don't know what happened to them."

His manager People revealed that Pang Mailang spends tens to hundreds of thousands every time he participates in activities, but he usually has no income, so he sometimes has to find small loans for activities.

After he became famous, he liked to participate in tours, and his so-called "tour" had only a few audiences at a time, and the number of security guards hired on site was more than the audience.

Netizens joked: "There are 7 spectators and 14 security guards. Two security guards can watch one spectator and cannot escape."

To be honest, Pang Mailang could not meet the pitch requirements required by musicians, but "My Skateboard Shoes" became inexplicably popular, and Pang Mailang began to "float" from then on.

Some people say that he once had the potential to become a legend of "grassroots counterattack", but he ruined a good hand.

Later, another netizen sharply pointed out: It was not that he had a good hand that was broken, but that he had a bad hand but insisted on robbing the landlord.

In addition to Pang Mailang, what happened to those "grassroots stars" whose aura was infinitely magnified in the Internet environment?

Speaking of Abao, perhaps the most profound impression everyone has on him is that he wears a white scarf on his head, a sheepskin waistcoat, and a red belt around his waist. In addition, he has a slightly earthy flavor. His accent makes him look like a farmer from the Loess Plateau.

On the stage of "Avenue of Stars", Abao said that he was a sheepherder. Because his family was poor, although he loved singing, he did not have the opportunity to receive systematic vocal education, so he could only sing and sing every day. When herding sheep, I would sing at the top of my lungs over and over in front of the empty mountains.

Because Abao has a distinctive image and unique singing, he won the love and support of the audience and won the championship of that session.

Later, Abao became popular.

He began to accept various commercials and commercial performances, and participated in various variety shows. After becoming famous, his songs such as "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red" and "Agricultural Heavy Metal" were sung for a while, and even He was invited to the Spring Festival Gala.

In addition, Abao was also favored by Guo Lanying, a famous soprano singer and Jin Opera performing artist, and became a close disciple.

At that time, Po had a bright future. It was said that he was worth hundreds of millions and married a "super girl" wife.

He is famous for his many “wrongs”, not to mention that he himself has too many “wrongs”.

Soon after, some netizens revealed: A Bao is not a sheepherder. Moreover, he has received professional music training and once worked as a resident singer in a bar. He also worked in a state-owned enterprise and in a local small business. Famous...

Deception will inevitably lead to backlash. After his identity was exposed, Abao gradually disappeared in the entertainment industry.

Similar to Abao, "Sister Straw Hat" also became famous overnight by participating in "Avenue of Stars". The difference is that she is indeed a farmer.

On the stage, "Sister Straw Hat" said that she liked singing since she was a child, but in order to support her brother in school, she was forced to drop out of school in junior high school. After dropping out of school, she once drove a crane and stayed at a relative's house. I worked in a hardware store.

However, there have been ups and downs, and the heart has not changed.

Even after getting married, "Sister Straw Hat" persisted in her music dream until she participated in "Avenue of Stars" and proved herself.

Before Straw Hat Sister participated in "Avenue of Stars", she had participated in Shandong Satellite TV's "Let Dreams Fly". In the program, Straw Hat Sister said that her wish was to build a school for the village.

At that time, because of her kindness and sincerity, the host Da Bing immediately said that she would donate one month's salary, and the judges also said that they would donate one month's salary and labor fees for participating in the show.

But after Straw Hat Sister became popular, like Abao, she began to accept various advertising endorsements and commercial performances. For a time, her popularity skyrocketed. In addition to the increase in income, her income also increased at the same time. temper.

Some netizens revealed that in a show, Straw Hat Sister, who was a judge, cursed at the contestants; in addition, after becoming popular, Straw Hat Sister brought her husband to the show in an attempt to get her husband to enter the entertainment industry.

While they were busy making money and expanding their popularity, netizens discovered that the "building a primary school" promised by Straw Hat Sister has yet to come to fruition.

In the end, under the criticism of the audience, the Straw Hat sister chose to apologize and built the school as agreed. However, the lost trust is difficult to get back.

In 2011, on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, a group sang Wang Feng's famous song "In Spring".

This group is called "Rising Sun Masculine". Coincidentally, they are also well-known to the audience through "Avenue of Stars".

After participating in the Spring Festival Gala, "Rising Sun Masculine" gained various resources: advertisements, commercial performances, and participation in programs. It is undeniable that they became famous overnight.

But just like the two previous "comrades", "Rising Sun Yang Gang" also encountered setbacks soon after becoming popular.

First of all, their most well-known song "In Spring" is a cover of Wang Feng's song. Although their songs may have a more "soul-deep" flavor due to their experience, these songs are The copyright ultimately belongs to Wang Feng.

After "Xu Ri Yang Gang" became popular, Wang Feng posted a message: "Xu Ri Yang Gang cannot sing his own songs in any form."

In addition to song copyright, like all "Xu Ri Yang Gang" who became famous overnight Like "Grassroots Stars", "Rising Sun Masculine" also fell into various negative news after becoming popular.

After becoming popular, Liu Gang, a member of the group, was exposed for driving a luxury car through a red light and beating up an old lady who asked for money. After being recognized by netizens, he directly exposed his name.

Awesome.

In the end, the fate of "Rising Sun Masculine", like many "grassroots stars", slowly disappeared in the noisy entertainment circle.

There is no beginning to the end, and there is an end to the failure.

After reading so many stories about "grassroots stars", it seems that it is often difficult for them to have a happy ending.

Among these people, Zhu Zhiwen, the overcoat brother who also became famous through "Avenue of Stars", still maintained his simple background after becoming popular, but because of his kindness, he also fell into a difficult situation.

Perhaps, people always lose themselves a little when they suddenly win fame and all kinds of applause.

After becoming famous overnight and making a lot of money, how many people can still maintain their original aspirations?

Only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.

Perhaps the biggest inspiration that the stories of these "grassroots stars" can give us is Socrates' famous saying:

People, know yourself.
