"Avenue of Stars" was once one of CCTV's most popular entertainment programs.
Its content is quite close to the public, providing opportunities for many grassroots singers and groups to show themselves.
The program first aired on October 9, 2004, and has a history of nearly 20 years.
During this period, countless folk singers used it as a platform to realize their dreams of becoming famous.
The most well-known players are Li Yugang and Phoenix Legend, who are still the top in the music world.
But some of the Walk of Fame players outside of them have developed unexpectedly.
Some of them have long since disappeared from the front of people due to throwing big cards, lying and other reasons.
What's more, they even ended up in prison.
And looking at their experience after becoming popular from the Avenue of Stars, it is not difficult to find.
This group of people came to such a lonely situation, in fact, it can be regarded as self-inflicted.
Yang Guang
Among the many singers who came out of "Avenue of Stars", Yang Guang at the beginning was definitely the most inspirational.
Because he was blind, when he was 8 months old, Yang Guang was robbed of his power to observe the world by retinoblastoma.
But Yang Guang is actually lucky, the so-called closing doors and opening windows is exactly like this.
Although Yang Guang was completely blind when he was less than 1 year old, he still had a high musical talent.
was born with a good voice, which laid the groundwork for his later life.
When he was a teenager, he relied on his good voice to enter the Municipal Disabled Art Troupe.
Later, Yang Guang was admitted to Changchun University by his own efforts.
And according to his work experience in the art troupe, he can stay and work in the Disabled Persons' Federation after graduation, which can be said to be an iron job.
He was blind the day after tomorrow, but he has now got the ticket to a stable life.
But at that time, Yang Guang didn't want such a turbulent life, he chose another path with an uncertain future.
Go to Beijing to be a North Drifter.
In Beijing, Yang Guang spent the most difficult years of his life. After three consecutive northward drifts to no avail, his family has encountered several accidents.
Grandparents and father passed away one after another, leaving only Yang Guang and his mother to rely on each other.
In this way, he survived until 2007, the year he boarded the Avenue of Fame and ushered in the highlight period of his life.
Yang Guang's life experience and singing voice touched many people, and a song "You Are My Eyes" directly helped him win the annual championship.
Taking this as a starting point, he soon received an invitation from the director team of the Spring Festival Gala.
At the 2008 Spring Festival Gala, Yang Guang got a 7-minute performance opportunity and became popular all over the country.
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Paralympic Games in 08 and the opening ceremony of the Asian Paralympic Games in Guangzhou in 10 years can see Yang Guang's figure.
In 2014, Yang Guang held a "concert" in ten colleges and universities, sharing his inspirational stories with the majority of young people.
Slowly, Yang Guang's fame grew, but he himself gradually lost in the joy of fame.
His idol baggage is getting heavier and heavier, and he has become a little unpopular.
Being late for the performance has become a trivial matter, and when something unpleasant happens on the scene, Yang Guang will even scold.
This undoubtedly made his popularity fall to the bottom.
Even the noble Ge Yanfang, who guided him to the Avenue of Stars, was angered by Yang Guang's various tricks.
This kind of thing has happened a lot, and Yang Guang has slowly lost his audience popularity.
He became popular at the phenomenal level, but now he has become unknown to everyone and has become a once unknown grassroots singer.
The Miracle of the Nine Moons
There are many combinations that have come out of the Avenue of Stars, such as Phoenix Legend, and they are popular all over the streets.
But the singing group Nine Moon Miracle, which also started from the Avenue of Stars, has disappeared without a trace many years later.
After winning the annual championship in 2009, Jiuyue Miracle debuted and also received an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala.
Although they failed in the rehearsal of that year's Spring Festival Gala, after 2011, they became frequent guests of the Spring Festival Gala.
The Nine Moon Miracle has sung for the people of the whole country on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala five times.
At that time, it had reached the peak of the previous champions of the Avenue of Stars.
In 2016, the two who were already lovers chose to get married, which can be regarded as a happy one.
However, it was this happy event that became the foreshadowing of the Nine Moon Miracle to loneliness.
The relationship between husband and wife is more intimate, but it is also more prone to conflicts, and soon the two people have many conflicts because of differences in philosophy.
Their marriage inevitably came to an end four years later, in 2020.
And long before the two got married, the agent strongly opposed the idea of their marriage.
It's a pity that neither of them took the persuasion seriously, and it was too late for the conflict to break out.
After the two divorced, the Nine Moon Miracle also existed in name only.
Wang Xiaohai, the man in charge of singing, has disappeared.
And Wang Xiaowei, who holds the name of the Nine Moon Miracle Group, is also unable to manage this signboard, so he changed careers and became a music teacher.
From glory to end, the Nine Moon Miracle, as its name suggests, is fleeting in the music world.
Liu Xiaodong
On the stage of the Avenue of Stars, Liu Xiaodong is more like an "outlier", because he is not known for his singing voice.
What makes this Inner Mongolian man stand out is his skillful acrobatic skills.
In the 2015 Avenue of Stars, Liu Xiaodong was definitely the most special player, and he was also the one with the most disparity between the front and back circumstances.
His most eye-catching "unique skill" is the kung fu on the nose, for which he has also been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
He can use his nose to drink milk, blow up balloons and other performances.
This kind of performance, which is very eye-catching at first glance, made Liu Xiaodong very popular.
After becoming famous through the Avenue of Stars, he also received a large number of invitations to commercial performances.
According to Liu Xiaodong himself, his appearance fee at his peak even reached six figures.
With just one performance, he can earn so much wealth, which shows how beautiful he was back then.
At his peak, Liu Xiaodong often traveled back and forth to various TV stations to perform his various unique skills.
Such as nose blowing balloons, egg balancing, and so on.
But Liu Xiaodong performed back and forth, and there were only so many things, which soon caused the audience's aesthetic fatigue.
The number of business orders inviting him to perform became fewer and fewer, and he gradually fell silent.
Until 2022, Liu Xiaodong returned to people's eyes again, but at this time, he did not have the vigor he once had.
Liu Xiaodong opened an account on the short video platform and shared his experience over the years with the audience.
According to his own account, the money he earned back then has long been squandered, and now he is in seven-figure debt.
In order to pay off his debts, he had to start a stall business, and occasionally do some live broadcasts.
In the live broadcast, sometimes you can see him eating and drinking under the bridge hole, a down-and-out appearance.
However, the authenticity of these things is always doubtful, because Liu Xiaodong's state in the video and live broadcast shows no traces of downfall.
Even the clothes he wore were quite neat and exquisite, smoking a pack of 50 cigarettes, not to mention the curly hair on the top of his head.
makes people have to suspect that this so-called Zhuqiaodong is a hype that Liu Xiaodong is eager to achieve popularity.
Xu Yizhou
It is said that the Avenue of Stars made Xu Yizhou possible, which may be biased.
Because before the launch of the Avenue of Stars, "Mustang" Xu Yizhou was already a well-known "Tujia Singer" in Guizhou.
As early as 2001, Xu Yizhou began his journey on a national tour.
Later, because of his popularity, he was awarded the title of "Fanjing Mountain Tourism Image Ambassador" by his hometown, and sang the related theme song.
In 2006, he appeared on the stage of the Walk of Fame with an outstanding resume and many original works.
and won the runner-up in the current competition, and then became the first Guizhou singer to win the weekly championship on the Avenue of Stars.
Prior to this, he also collaborated with the well-known singer Han Hong.
At the Uranus large-scale concert in Bao'an, Shenzhen, Xu Yizhou and Han Hong showed their singing voices together and were well received.
After returning from the Avenue of Stars, Xu Yizhou is still committed to the promotion of his hometown.
Fanjing Mountain, the "sacred mountain" in Guizhou, has always been one of the "protagonists" of his various activities.
thought that he would gradually become a representative figure in promoting the scenery of Guizhou and carry on the title of "Tujia Singer".
Unexpectedly, on September 7, 2023, Xu Yizhou was imprisoned for being involved in crime.
You must know that on August 27, 2022, he was also selected as the rural revitalization ambassador of his hometown.
Now it has been revealed that he is an underworld member, which shows that he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart.
Aho
The first annual champion born on the Walk of Fame.
This incident has extraordinary significance for both the show and Po himself.
Ah Bao's singing all the way back then pushed the popularity of the Avenue of Stars to its peak.
And Po's own singing career has officially reached its peak after the Avenue of Stars.
On stage, Po always performs in a sheepskin jacket and a white towel on his head.
Such a simple shape and his characteristic accent made the audience feel a lot of intimacy with him.
In the self-introduction session, Po claimed that he was a farmer from the deep mountains, and he had not received professional singing training.
Such a simple self-reported experience made his song "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Gorgeous" even more amazing.
However, the so-called characters such as not learning music and being a farmer in Bao's mouth were later confirmed to be lies.
A lie is also a lie in the end, and there will always be a day when it will be exposed, and Po is no different.
As Po's fame in front of the public grew, his foundation was slowly revealed.
It turned out that he only lived in the suburbs, not a real farmer.
As for not receiving professional vocal training, that's just something he said nonsense.
Before boarding the Avenue of Fame, Po had more than ten years of running experience.
During this period, he performed everywhere with the troupe and troupe, and his basic singing skills were also polished day after day.
Regarding these, Bao, who tried his best to create a simple peasant character, has never said a word.
The reason why it was exposed was because his partner Heng Yue said it in an interview.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and with the collapse of Bao's peasant persona.
Rumors about him buying a luxury car and a mansion and marrying a petite wife are also flocking.
The overwhelming negative public opinion finally made Po disappear from the public eye.
Now that the short video platform is on the rise, Po also wants to take advantage of the situation to return.
However, he has neither the ability to create, nor the public's trust in him, and wanting to regain his popularity can only be described as wishful thinking.
epilogue
The Avenue of Stars has provided them with a platform to succeed, but none of these people can be down-to-earth.
In the face of huge benefits, they all do not move the idea of taking shortcuts to enjoy, but do not know how to operate seriously.
In this way, their defeat was actually doomed from the beginning.
