On April 27, a news suddenly topped the hot search list.
The news said that someone on a certain platform released the news that "Li Yugang" committed suicide by jumping into the river.
When everyone was deeply puzzled and questioned the truth of the news, Li Yugang personally came forward to refute the rumors.
Seeing the real person appear, everyone knew that it turned out to be another rumor.
But at the same time, everyone can't help but wonder:
Why can such a groundless "title party" rumor suddenly occupy the first place on the hot search list?
Contact the news released by Li Yugang:
The movie has not yet been completed, and it has not yet reached the promotion period?
From this point of view, the meaning of "there is no silver here 300 taels" is quite obvious.
People can't help but sigh that the "new scams" of internal entertainment are really emerging.
Although this incident can be closed.
However, it is true that Li Yugang once committed suicide by jumping into the river, and it is not the first time he has used such a marketing method
What's going on here?
Why would he do this?
1. Born into poverty, he tasted the hardships of life, and wanted to die when he was desperate
Li Yugang is a native of Changchun, born in 1978.
Because his family was so poor, he helped the family from an early age.
The children of the poor are long in charge, and Li Yugang is no exception.
In addition to working hard, he never gave up learning.
Not only that, his talent in literature and art was also revealed early.
In the year of the college entrance examination, on the recommendation of his teacher, he filled in the Jilin Provincial Art College and was admitted to the school with excellent results.
Unfortunately, reality shattered his dream of "changing his fate with knowledge".
The difficulties of his family made it difficult for the whole family to survive, not to mention his tuition fees.
In addition to his loss, he also knows the difficulties of his parents.
But he was not willing to spend his life and was determined to make a career.
After thinking about it again and again, with full blood and two hundred yuan, he chose to leave his hometown, leaving only a farewell note to his parents.
But reality soon hit him head-on.
A hairy boy with a "huge amount of money" is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Before he could find a job, he was cheated out of money.
For this reason, he had to sleep in the open and use a hospital bench as a bed.
I finally found a sales job, but I was driven away within a few days.
The last restaurant took him in and made him a waiter and take care of food and accommodation, so that he did not have to continue wandering.
This also made him, who was exhausted, taste the taste of "true love in the world" for the first time.
Therefore, he did this job with dedication.
Just when he thought he would finally be able to gain a foothold in the city, something unexpected happened.
A punk who came to eat at the restaurant got into an argument with him.
In a fit of anger, the punk directly smashed the glass wine bottle on his shoulder.
Seeing that something happened to the hotel, the boss was afraid of trouble, so he gave him a sum of money and sent him away.
So, Li Yugang fell into the streets again.
Because of his yearning for music, he decided to work in a cabaret.
But the dance hall is not short of manpower, or Li Yugang proposed that he only needs to manage food and housing without wages, and the boss left him behind.
Despite the hardships of life, he has no complaints with music.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and soon the accident happened again.
While at work, he was distracted by listening to the resident singer singing and accidentally spilled alcohol on guests.
Afterwards, the boss was furious and wanted to drive Li Yugang away.
Recalling the singing he had just heard, Li Yugang plucked up the courage to ask his boss if he could give him a chance to sing a song and see if he could be a resident singer.
After looking at him, the boss was suspicious, and finally saw that he was pitiful, so he agreed to let him give it a try.
He seized this rare opportunity and impressed the boss with a beautiful and beautiful voice.
In this way, he stood on the stage of singing for the first time.
Relying on the "tour" of several dance halls and bars, Li Yugang gradually became famous.
Then he formed a band with a few friends and began to take on some small commercial performances.
If his career stabilizes, he will no longer have to worry about his livelihood.
But the sky did not go as expected, and bad luck came again.
During one performance, they were inspected by regulators and required to show a "performance card."
Where did they know that there was such a thing as a "performance certificate".
As a result, the band was forced to disband, all instruments and props were confiscated, and fines were paid.
Li Yugang, whose life had just improved, once again fell into the abyss of despair.
Lost in his soul, he walked on the street, recalled his various encounters, and felt deeply the injustice of fate.
When he arrived at a bridge, he looked at the billowing river, and only one thought remained in his mind:
One hundred dead.
Second, being saved by a beggar, you will discover your own talent because of chance
Just after he jumped, a group of beggars rescued him and bitterly persuaded Li Yugang to give up suicide.
I understood the truth that "it is better to die than to live".
So, desperate, he chose to wander with beggars.
During this period of wandering, while tasting the sufferings of the world, he gradually made up his mind that he must live well.
Since you have nothing left, why bother to start all over again?
He cleaned himself up, said goodbye to the beggar, and embarked on the path of pursuing his dreams.
He first worked as a teller in a video store.
Listen to music and learn music theory in your spare time.
Then he got a job as a resident singer in a bar.
Two jobs a day, getting up early and greedy, although it is hard, but he feels that life is very fulfilling.
Once, under the arrangement of the bar owner, he needed to sing "For Whom" with a female singer who was popular at that time.
Li Yugang made perfect preparations for this performance, but on the day of the performance, the female singer made an appointment.
But the show was already scheduled and he had to go on stage alone.
The audience is still wondering, isn't "For Whom" a song that needs to be sung by men and women, why only one man came up?
Just when they were wondering, Li Yugang's anti-string female voice made the audience suddenly silent.
After the song, the stunned audience came back to their senses and gave Li Yugang warm applause and applause.
And Li Yugang also found out for the first time that he still had such a talent.
Since then, he seems to have pushed open a new door to the music world.
In order to hone his anti-string skills, he also deliberately went to learn Peking Opera.
But the Peking Opera master Ma Hongcai was very unoptimistic about him, and said:
You are not art, more one-sidedly, grandstanding. Peking Opera cannot do without profound attainments.
But he did not give up, always insisted on practicing anti-string singing, and with the performance after performance, his fame gradually spread.
This attracted the attention of the "Avenue of Stars" column group, and after learning that there was such a peculiar singer, he quickly sent an invitation to Li Yugang.
In 2006, Li Yugang became popular with the song "Concubine Drunk".
Audiences across the country got to know this singer who was a man but sang in a female voice.
Various invitations to sign and collaborate followed.
Li Yugang took advantage of the hot iron to strike and successively released songs such as "New Noble Concubine Drunk" and "Wanjiang", which were quite popular in each capital.
For a while, a wave of "national style" was set off all over the country because of him, and opera songs could be heard everywhere.
With the increasing popularity, Li Yugang also has a group of die-hard fans.
Fans even made up a slogan for him:
Before there was Mei Lanfang, now there is Li Yugang.
As everyone knows, it was this slogan that brought Li Yugang a lot of controversy.
Third, the slogan led to controversy, and Li Yugang gradually lost his original intention
Seeing that Li Yugang's name is getting louder and louder.
Mei Lanfang's true heir, Mei Baojiu, Mei Lanfang's son, couldn't sit still.
He did not want his father's reputation to be borrowed for himself by such a "half-way out of the house".
Moreover, as a national essence, Peking Opera can be described as broad and profound.
Li Yugang just added some Peking Opera elements to popular songs, and dared to call himself the "descendant of Mei Lanfang".
Is it tolerable, who is unbearable?
Mei Baojiu spoke publicly in public:
It is not that wearing women's clothing to please the audience is called art, those who use Mr. May as a stepping stone, we firmly protest!
But Li Yugang did not give in to this, and the support of a large number of fans made him fearless.
In the face of Mei Baojiu's accusations, he was-for-tat.
Even openly said in front of Mei Baojiu in the show:
"On behalf of the broad and profound Mei Pai, I would like to extend my heartfelt greetings to the national audience."
How is this different from provocation for Mei Baojiu?
Li Yugang overestimated his influence and underestimated the appeal of the "Mei Pai" in the literary and art world.
Since then, his career has declined all the way.
Even though he apologized many times afterwards, he was unable to obtain forgiveness.
Although the opportunity to join the "famous and decent family" was completely lost.
However, as a pop singer, he still has many means to save his reputation.
Unfortunately, he went down the wrong path.
That is the marketing "persona".
Because he is famous for his anti-string, his image in front of the camera is often elegant and soft.
Fans gave him the nickname "Yu Gongzi" for this.
His team also set up the character of "Yugongzi" for him.
But starting from the grass, he has been crawling at the bottom for many years, where does he have the temperament and image of a "son".
When his father was sick in bed, he took the photographer to pose well, wanting to show his "filial" side. It turned out to be ridiculed.
After his father's death, he posted a video to commemorate him.
But the content of the video is that he is dressed in handsome white, shouting "I miss you" in the snow.
Such a cowardly attitude once again caused netizens to complain.
In front of the camera, he is gentle and elegant, always paying attention to his image.
In private, he behaves no differently than ordinary people.
Such a pretentious behavior makes people unhappy.
epilogue
In fact, Li Yugang's songs are excellent, and his singing voice and performance style are also very popular with everyone.
I only hope that he can be less marketing and more sincere in the future.
Put the effort of "building people" into creation, and presumably his popularity and reputation can be higher than now.
