Chinanews.com, Beijing, December 31 (Zhao Jingyi and Zhang Xi) In 2022, freshness will still be the background of the entertainment industry.
There are endless newcomers, constantly changing entertainment hot searches, and unwatchable movie and drama series.
But when we stand at the end of the year and look back at this year, we find that this noisy circle is not "only seeing newcomers laughing",
The whole network followed the 50-year-old Liu Genghong to dance "Compendium of Materia Medica";
The 40-year-old Wang Xinling once occupied the top ten of the hot search list;
Fifteen years have passed, and in 2007, six fast men formed the "re-employment men's group", and the "re-employment" has been realized in middle age...
If the first success is luck or capital blessing,
A second success seemed invaluable,
Because that represents persistence, not giving up, and accepting the truest self.

The story of 2022 will start from the end of 2021.
At the end of 2021, Taiwanese artist Liu Genghong, who has been dubbed "Jay Chou's friend", moved to Shanghai with his family to develop. At first, he and his wife Wang Wanfei live broadcasted and brought goods together.
However, Liu Genghong did not get a share of the attention economy on the platform where there are so many Internet celebrities.
In February of this year, Liu Genghong began to update live broadcasts related to fitness, but at the beginning, not many people paid attention to them. The husband and wife team worked hard on aerobics, but they were still submerged in countless live broadcast rooms.

But Liu Genghong did not give up.
The opportunity finally came. In a live broadcast in early April, perhaps because he was wearing a tank top and shorts, his muscles appeared too developed. The robot judged that Liu Genghong was "inappropriately dressed" and directly forced the broadcast.
On April 7th, Liu Genghong and his wife simply wore down jackets to live stream fitness, and received a warning from a robot when they jumped in the heat and took off their clothes. This dramatic scene quickly made it onto the hot list.
More people saw Liu Genghong as a fitness trainer, and just like that, the data in his live broadcast room began to grow like a dream.

Liu Genghong is not without fire.
As "Jay Chou's friend", he has appeared in 8 Jay Chou MVs, and he also appears in the movie "Initial D" starring Jay Chou.
In 2005, Liu Genghong's most well-known album "Rainbow Paradise" also had the help of Jay Chou.
In 2017, he and his daughter participated in "Where Are We Going, Dad?" As "Little Puff's Dad", Liu Genghong once again became popular, but these seemingly repeated and short-lived popularity did not let Liu Genghong showed his true self, he always carried the label associated with XX.
In 2022, Liu Genghong was finally seen by everyone because of his persistence in fitness for more than 30 years.

On the second day when Liu Genghong and his wife wore down jackets and said to the camera, "Robots, are we still sexy like this?", Su Xing, Wang Lixin, Zhang Yuan, Chen Chusheng, Wang Zhengliang, and Lu Hu met in Hunan in 2007. The people who showed their singing voice on stage reunited on the screen.
Fifteen years ago, Hunan Satellite TV, which had been doing the "Super Girl" talent show for two consecutive years, launched "Happy Boys". Young people including Lu Hu, Chen Chusheng and others stood in the sight of national audiences.
In the last game of the finals, 11 people sang "Dare to Ask Where the Way Is" in chorus.
Land Rover talked about this experience in an interview 3 years ago. He said that at that time, everyone, including the director team, was in the midst of introspection and questioning.
Does the end of the draft mean it's time to wake up?
How can the teenager who descended from the stage pursue his music dream again?
Time gave the answer.
After "Fast Guy" ended, Lu Rover came to Beijing to continue making music with the 20,000 yuan he borrowed from the company. Three years later, he was the same as Zhang Yuan, who joined the Supreme Lihe Group after the draft and returned to "calm". suffering from depression.
But he said, "I never thought of leaving Beijing and leaving this circle."
Chen Chusheng, the 2007 fast boy champion, also has such longing and hesitation, and has walked on the road of insisting on music dreams for many years.
Along the way, they supported each other along the way.
Fifteen years have passed, and the 6 people are no longer the high-spirited teenagers they used to be, and there is no crazy fan group around them.
The group name they gave themselves was "Re-employment Boys Group".
Simple and unpretentious, with a sense of humor.
When people reach middle age, they learn to make peace with themselves.

When Zhang Yuan talked about "playing music", he was complained, "Have you ever had any popular music?"; "You are a wedding singer..."
Wang Yuexin was ridiculed by his brothers for his divorce. Su Xing said that no matter which car he drove, there was only half left;
When taking a group photo, a C position was given up for a long time, and no one dared to stand in the C position, because they hadn't stood in the C position for a long time.

In fact, they have not been silent all these years.
In 2014, Wang Zhengliang lit up the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with a song "Where Did Time Go?" The song was praised for its straightforwardness and sharpness; in 2018, "Story of Yanxi Palace" became popular, and Land Rover served as the producer of the theme song...
In 2022, the 0713 re-employment men's group will reunite, showing the truth and showing the plainness.
The audience sometimes laughed and sometimes shed tears. This time, fans and passersby gave them almost perfect marks on social platforms in a tacit understanding.

At the end of April, the number of viewers in Liu Genghong's Douyin live broadcast room exceeded the 50 million mark.
If you use one sentence to describe Liu Genghong's popularity, it can be said that he single-handedly made Jay Chou's "Compendium of Materia Medica" popular again.
But on the track of fitness, not only Liu Genghong, but also his fellow-Wang Xinling.
In the nearly 20 years since her debut, Wang Xinling has never relaxed her demands on herself. She arranges aerobic and anaerobic exercises every week to keep in shape.

Efforts pay off. On the romantic day of May 20th, "Riding the Wind and Waves 3" started broadcasting. Many "Liu Genghong girls" found that their husbands and boyfriends suddenly turned into "Wang Xinling boys", wearing slippers, pajamas, vests and big pants Sing and dance "Love You" in front of the TV.
On the first stage of "Riding the Wind and Waves", Wang Xinling's "Love You" broke the first place, as if overnight, the fire version, epidemic prevention version, and anti-fraud version of "Love You" appeared overwhelmingly, and half of the Internet and social media were full of sweetness.
Among the top 10 QQ music songs soaring, Wang Xinling's classic songs occupy 9 places.
At that time, topics related to Wang Xinling almost dominated the top few searches on Weibo.
Enter the three words Wang Xinling on the search engine, and the search keyword that pops up is "Why is Wang Xinling suddenly popular again".

18 years ago, the scene when "Love You" became popular when it was first released may be very similar to today.
But compared to 2022, Wang Xinling in her 20s and 30s is different.
According to Wang Xinling's recollection, before the age of 30, I probably only had work in my life without company.
In the eyes of the audience, Wang Xinling, who is known for her sweetness, has made many attempts to change her style over the years, but it seems that she has failed to achieve better results.
Regarding the sweetness of the "dominant list", some people concluded: life is already so bitter, we need such sweetness as Wang Xinling.
Some people ridiculed that Wang Xinling's popularity this time is only because her fans are getting old...
Faced with all kinds of opinions, Wang Xinling is now more relaxed and at ease: I can see everyone's interaction after work, and I am very relieved and grateful.
——This seems to be the state she has been in recently. Wang Xinling, who participated in "Riding the Wind and Waves", always said that her mentality is different. "I never thought about proving myself." She is more self-conscious and relaxed, just like this. Singing and dancing "Love You" set off another sweet storm.

Looking back over the years, there are always people who attribute a person's success to luck, capital, timing and so on.
But after the highlights, the waiting time after the curtain opens again is the real practice.
In 2004, Wang Xinling became famous with "Love You"; in the following days, she held concert after concert, honed her professional ability on stage and in front of the microphone, and never lost her love for singing, Persevere and be in awe.
In 2006, the 34-year-old singer Liu Genghong released his first solo album, and fitness is something he has insisted on since he was 18 years old.
Today, his love shines brightly and affects many people.
In 2007, Chen Chusheng, Lu Hu, Su Xing, Wang Lixin, Wang Zhengliang and Zhang Yuan were seen by audiences across the country. In the past 15 years, the re-employment boy group has never given up on music, and has never given up on themselves.
Perhaps many years ago, fate favored them once, but in 2022, it will be complicated and newcomers will emerge in large numbers, and all the stages and rules will be different from those of the past, and will change rapidly.
If they want to make a high-profile comeback and set off wave after wave like they did back then, they may not be able to convince fate for the second time.
Everyone who "flashed" again in 2022 has done a good job at each stage step by step.
The second success in 2022 is just a dazzling light on the long road they hold on to.
Even if there is a gust of wind, life will never give up.
