In 2015, a movie quietly changed the fate of two people. The release of "Detective Chinatown" made Xiao Yang shine in the entertainment industry like a rising star.
At the same time, his partner Wang Taili gradually faded out of the public eye. Once upon a time, this pair, known as the "Chopsticks Brothers", created highly sung songs such as "Old Boy" and "Little Apple", which became popular all over the country.
However, fate has pushed them to a very different life trajectory. The outside world has speculated: Is it because Xiao Yang abandoned his former good brother after becoming famous? Or did Wang Taili choose to retreat into the background? Let's uncover this long-forgotten past and explore the little-known story behind the Chopsticks Brothers.
On an ordinary day in Beijing in 2007, two young people with musical dreams met unexpectedly. Xiao Yang, 31, is shooting commercials to make ends meet, while Wang Taili, 42, runs a mobile phone RBT business.
Despite the 11-year age difference, their shared passion for music made them instantly familiar.
With a passion for music, they decided to chase their dreams together. They raised money to shoot a light-hearted short film, Memoirs of a Male Geisha. Unexpectedly, this work caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet, which gave the two great encouragement.
Riding on the victory, they chased them and gave everything they had to make the musical film "Where Are You". However, this attempt was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it did not stir up any waves.
When disappointed, the two almost gave up their music dreams and returned to their original life tracks. Wang Taili even returned to his hometown in Shandong to open a restaurant.
In 2009, an unexpected news ignited an unquenchable musical fire in their hearts. The sudden death of Michael · Jackson deeply touched Wang Taili. He called Xiao Yang overnight: "MJ is gone, we really should do something."
The call became a turning point that changed their fate.
Opportunity always favors those who are prepared. Soon after, Xiao Yang received an invitation to participate in the filming of the short film "11 Degrees of Youth". The two teamed up again to create "Old Boy".
As soon as this song was released, it caused a craze on the Internet and became a collective memory of young people of that era. The names of the Chopsticks Brothers began to be known.
Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Taili spent a whole year creating "Father". This song has touched the hearts of countless people with its sincere and deep emotions. With this song, the Chopsticks Brothers won the "Global Chinese Music Award" and officially stepped into the palace of the music industry.
In 2014, they launched the movie "Old Boy: The Raptors Crossing the River", and the theme song of the movie "Little Apple" detonated a national craze. This cheerful song spread all over the streets, and almost everyone of all ages knew "You are my little apple".
The popularity of the Chopsticks Brothers has reached unprecedented heights, and they were even invited to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
From an unknown grassroots singer to a stage that attracts national attention, the Chopsticks Brothers have written an inspirational dream story with their talent and persistence. Their success is not only due to luck, but also due to their love of music and unremitting efforts.
In order to realize their dreams, they do not hesitate to wear wigs, women's clothes, and express themselves in front of the camera. It is this kind of dedication and dedication regardless of return that has allowed them to finally win the love and recognition of the audience.
On the stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve 2014, the chopsticks brothers finally stood in front of the national audience as they wished. When the melody of "Little Apple" sounded, the applause of the audience poured in like a tide.
Xiao Yang and Wang Taili looked at each other and smiled, their eyes flashing with incredible joy and excitement.
They performed hard, with sincere smiles on their faces, and this heartfelt happiness infected every audience. The lights on the stage shine, but what shines even brighter is the light after they realize their dreams.
At this moment, they deeply felt the rewards after years of perseverance and hard work, and also felt the joy of being recognized by the national audience.
After the Spring Festival Gala, the popularity of the chopsticks brothers continued to rise. "Little Apple" topped the charts on major music platforms, and the number of clicks on the MV reached new highs. Whether it is the streets and alleys, or shopping malls and supermarkets, people can be heard humming this cheerful song everywhere.
Their names have become a hot topic, and various variety shows and advertisers have rushed to invite them to participate.
In this year, the Chopsticks Brothers also won the "Global Chinese Music Award" with the touching song "Father". When Wang Taili stood on the podium, he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while.
He remembered his deceased father and those hard days. If my father was still here, I would be proud of him, right? Xiao Yang silently patted him on the shoulder, silently conveying support and encouragement.
However, as it is often said, things must be opposed. The brilliance of the Chopsticks Brothers also seems to have reached its peak. After "Little Apple", they never created such a widely sung composition.
Despite this, the duo still stuck to their musical dreams and continued to explore and move forward on the road of music.
Looking back on this glorious period, the Chopsticks Brothers used their own experience to interpret what perseverance is and what dreams are. Their success is not only theirs, but also inspires countless ordinary people with dreams.
Although the trajectory of their careers has changed later, this experience of standing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and being loved by audiences across the country will always be the most shining chapter in their lives.
2015 was an important turning point for the Chopsticks Brothers. This year, Chen Sicheng threw an olive branch to Xiao Yang and invited him to participate in "Detective Chinatown".
As a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, Xiao Yang has always had a passion for acting. Despite his success in the music industry, deep down he has always wanted to make a career in the entertainment industry.
After much deliberation, he decided to take on the challenge and began his journey as an actor.
On the set of "Detective Chinatown", Xiao Yang devoted himself to the role. His seriousness and hard work were quickly appreciated by the director and other actors. When the movie was released, the audience was surprised to find that the singer who used to only sing "Little Apple" was still such a good actor.
Xiao Yang's performance added a lot to the film, and also won more attention and opportunities for himself.
Xiao Yang, who tasted the sweetness, is determined to go further in his acting career. He is constantly involved in various types of film shoots, working hard to hone his acting skills. In 2018 in "Detective Chinatown 2", his role was already on par with Wang Baoqiang.
His eyes staring into the abyss shocked countless audiences.
In 2019, Xiao Yang ushered in another peak in his acting career. "Manslaughter" starring him allowed the audience to see a new Xiao Yang. In this movie, the role of the father he plays is full of tension, even in the face of the actress Chen Chong, he is not inferior.
He contributed many wonderful performances full of emotion, which were impressive. The film was not only a box office hit, but also earned Xiao Yang a nomination for Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards, proving his tremendous progress in acting.
Xiao Yang, who has successfully transformed, is becoming more and more popular. He has successively cooperated with Andy Lau, Zhao Liying and other first-line stars, and participated in many movies such as "The Crowd", "My Sister", "Who is the Murderer" and so on.
Every appearance amazes the audience with the progress of his acting skills. In "The Crowd", he even sat on an equal footing with actor Andy Lau, and the two were jointly regarded as the leading actor of the film.
However, behind the success is a relentless effort. Xiao Yang often stays up late to study the script and repeatedly figure out the psychology of the characters. He also began to get involved in film production, investing in popular films such as "Send You a Little Red Flower".
From a simple actor to today's actor and producer, Xiao Yang's career has been expanding.
With the take-off of his career, Xiao Yang's worth has also risen, and it is rumored to have exceeded 100 million yuan. However, he was not carried away by success. In interviews, he often mentioned his music partner Wang Taili and thanked the other party for their support and help back then.
This humility and gratitude make people see the character charm behind Xiao Yang's success.
In stark contrast to Xiao Yang's bright star career in the entertainment industry, Wang Taili chose a relatively calm life path. As the core of the Chopsticks Brothers' creation, classic songs such as "Old Boy" and "Father" are all written by him.
These works not only touched the hearts of countless listeners, but also won great success for the Chopsticks Brothers. However, when Xiao Yang began to focus on his acting career, Wang Taili seemed to gradually fade out of public view.
Wang Taili also tried to transform into an actor. He participated in the movie "The Battle of the God of Food" with an investment of up to 200 million yuan, and played on the same stage with well-known artists such as Ge You and Nicholas Tse.
However, the film did not cause much repercussions after its release, and Wang Taili's performance did not receive much attention. After losing the first battle, he struggled to find a foothold in the highly competitive film and television industry.
Faced with the ups and downs of his career, Wang Taili chose to return to a peaceful family life. He devotes more energy to caring for his family, especially supporting his daughter to pursue her acting dream.
Although her daughter failed to stand out in the competition, Wang Taili always supported her silently behind her back, showing the selfless love of a father.
Regarding the discussion from the outside world, Wang Taili chose to laugh it off. He knows that everyone has their own life choices. Although he is no longer in the spotlight, he still maintains his love for music.
Occasionally, he would write songs just for his own pleasure.
Wang's choice shows us that there is not only one definition of success. In his own way, he interprets what happiness is and what success is. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, he missed a great opportunity, but for Wang Taili, being able to accompany his family and continue to create the music he loves is the greatest satisfaction.
Despite the very different career trajectories, the friendship between Xiao Yang and Wang Taili has always been the same. Whenever asked about Wang Taili, Xiao Yang always showed a deep sense of gratitude.
He said frankly that if it were not for Wang Taili's support and help, he would not be where he is today. This sincere emotion goes far beyond the boundaries of fame and fortune.
At the premiere of "Manslaughter" in 2019, Xiao Yang saw Wang Taili present and blurted out excitedly: "I have a distinguished guest at home!" At this moment, everyone felt the rare sincere friendship between these old friends.
Even though they are on different stages of life, they still cherish each other and support each other.
When he learned that Wang Taili's daughter wanted to enter the showbiz, Xiao Yang did not hesitate to lend a hand. Not only did he repost the information on social media, but he also made a video to cheer her on.
Although it failed in the end, Xiao Yang's friendship made people see the sincere friendship between the chopsticks brothers that transcended fame and fortune.
Now Xiao Yang continues to shine in the film and television industry, while Wang Taili has chosen a peaceful family life. Although the trajectories of the two are different, the friendship between them has never changed.
They are like the pair of chopsticks, although they are different in length, they are still the best partners.
In this Vanity Fair, the Chopsticks Brothers interpret what true friendship is in their own way. Their stories tell us that success is defined differently from person to person, and that genuine friendship is life's most valuable asset.
Whether it is Xiao Yang who shines on the stage, or Wang Taili who chooses to pay silently, they are all pursuing happiness in their hearts in their own way, and they are also interpreting the true meaning of friendship with practical actions.
