“Xiang Qiangqiang’s” job path

I once asked many fast male contestants about their hardships on the music road. However, most people's answer was, "No, it went very smoothly, very smoothly." I thought Chen Xiang would be the same, but his answer was a bit unexpected.

"Perhaps you should ask me what particularly smooth things have happened to me on my music journey, so that I can answer it better." Chen Xiang said it like a joke, but he was also somewhat serious.

Since he was a child, due to his family’s poor economic conditions and his parents’ mentality of “hoping for their children to succeed”, Chen Xiang has been unable to pursue his music dream. But the stubborn man did not give in to life, but tried his best to beg his grandfather to give him a guitar. "Having a guitar, you can't play it openly. Every time you want to play, you have to cover the strings with a piece of cloth. If it gets stuck on it, it won't make any sound. But in the end, my parents accidentally discovered it and the guitar was confiscated. . ”

Unforeseen circumstances, Chen Xiang’s parents were both laid off when he was 13 years old, making the already poor family even more difficult. The sudden blow made Chen Xiang grow up overnight. In order not to burden his family, he never asked to learn music again. Until the summer of 2008, when the admission notice from Sichuan Conservatory of Music arrived, he could no longer suppress his inner desire for music.

"Faced with the high tuition fees, I almost gave up. I hugged the guitar and cried all night." Between dreams and reality, Chen Xiang struggled hard and tossed and turned. Early the next morning, he finally plucked up the courage to say to his mother, "I really like singing. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will persevere. I will work hard to earn my tuition and living expenses in the future and never let my family worry about it." !”

Looking at her son’s firm expression, the mother agreed with tears. In order to earn enough money for tuition, Chen Xiang, who was still a minor, was introduced by his uncle to work in a local nightclub. "At that time, I only had a basic salary of 16 yuan a day." Chen Xiang shrugged and said with a wry smile. Not only is the salary low and the work tiring, he also often faces various grievances at a young age. "I remember one time when I was working an overnight shift in a private room, a drunk customer mistakenly thought it was a bathroom and peeed on the spot when he came in. I thought he was wrong, so I argued with him, but his attitude was very bad and the two of us got into an argument. In the end, we started arguing. The boss came to mediate, but said I was wrong and asked me to apologize. That was the most humiliating thing in my life."

At this point, Chen Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly. , the nose is a little red. He stood up and said he was going to the bathroom. When he came back, the smile on his face had returned. After looking at the mirror for a long time, Chen Xiang shyly said to the makeup artist, "Can the eyeliner be darker? Hehe, that would be more in line with the feeling of 'Xiang's melancholy'."

Three years of hard work to "Happy Boys" ”

Not everyone has the opportunity to realize their dreams, and behind every history of fame, there are often countless unknown hardships and tears.

In 2007, the Happy Boys Competition had a huge influence. That year, Chen Xiang was not even qualified to participate in the preliminaries because he was under 18 years old. Recalling this incident, Chen Xiang couldn't help but sigh, "I stole my household registration book and ran to Xi'an alone, but they blocked me from the registration gate. In fact, I was only a few months old. But no matter how much I begged, they couldn't let me in."

Although he failed to catch the train to his dream, the persistent Chen Xiang did not relax. In order to prevent his years of hard work from going to waste, during college, he formed a band with his friends and worked as a bar singer. The meager income made Chen Xiang almost face an existential crisis, but he never gave up. After three years of sharpening his sword, with confidence and determination, Chen Xiang finally blossomed on the stage of Happy Boys in 2010. In the first game of the national finals, Chen Xiang won countless flowers and applause with a Taiwanese folk song "Zhang San's Song". On the night of the Kuaiman team's 8090 kickoff, even though his ear injury had not yet healed, he remained calm in the face of "internal and external troubles". His emotional singing moved all the audience, and he also won the highest score in the history of this year's Kuaiman competition. --95 points.

Speaking of that competition, Chen Xiang lowered his head and smiled, "I felt that I was so worthless. I promised that I would try my best not to cry on stage, but I still couldn't hold it back and kept singing to myself. Just walked into that story."

After a moment of silence, when Chen Xiang looked up again, the makeup artist had finished all his makeup.

The delicate and clear-cut face, the hair that looks fluffy and a little flowing, the determined eyes that have not changed from beginning to end, combined with the slender black eyeliner, look particularly charming. As he said himself, there is a kind of confusing and seductive beauty.
