In September 2018, S.H.E, the most influential female group in the Chinese music scene, had arduous negotiations with its former owner Huayan to discuss the possibility and methods of future cooperation.
In order to achieve success in the negotiation, the three even negotiated with Huayan through Selina’s ex-husband and lawyer Zhang Chengzhong.
Although Zhang Chengzhong had nothing to do with S.H.E after his divorce from Selina, the three people still approached him, hoping that he would help negotiate with Huayan and strive to achieve the results they wanted.
Unfortunately, after several months of arduous waiting, the negotiations broke down.
Huayan hopes to continue to control the careers of the three SHE people. However, Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen and Chen Jiahua cannot accept it. The two parties have great differences and refuse to make concessions in terms of core interests, resulting in a complete breakdown of negotiations.
SHE trademark rights and previous song copyrights are in the hands of Huayan. If the negotiations break down, S.H.E fans will not see the three of them performing on the same stage.
In fact, neither party is willing to see this lose-lose outcome, especially Huayan Company. Previously, SHE was undoubtedly an inexhaustible cash cow for Huayan. The three people's economic income accounted for 29.4% of the entire company. The three people left the company, causing great losses to Huayan.
The breakdown of negotiations between the two parties also means that Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen and Chen Jiahua will no longer be able to unite under the name "S.H.E".
Fans were very sad about this result, and Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen and Chen Jiahua were even more sad.
Since then, there has been no S.H.E girl group in the world, but in the hearts of millions of fans, S.H.E has become the legend of a generation of girl groups and a forever beautiful memory for a generation!
In 1981, Ren Jiaxuan was born in an ordinary family in Taipei. Her father was a computer company manager and her mother was an economics teacher.
As she is the first child of her parents, she is naturally pampered, which makes Ren Jiaxuan very willful. She wants what she likes when she sees it, and gets into trouble if she doesn’t give it. Every time she cries, her parents admit defeat and force her to be satisfied. her request.
When she was in school, Ren Jiaxuan was most afraid of physical education classes. Every time she had physical education classes, she would find various reasons not to go. Her classmates laughed at her for being too squeamish and unwilling to walk or exercise.
Although her physical education class was terrible, she was very good in her cultural class. She was basically among the top three in the class. Later, she was admitted to Taiwan Normal University.
Compared with Ren Jiaxuan's willfulness and squeamishness, Tian Fuzhen is so good. She always listens to her parents and teachers, plays games seriously, and studies seriously.
The reason Tian Fuzhen is so well-behaved is because her parents have been very strict with her since she was a child. She must do what she should do by herself, and she must do it seriously and not be perfunctory.
Although her parents are very strict, they are also very open-minded. Tian Fuzhen likes to sing very much, and her parents are very supportive of her. As long as she does not delay her studies, she can sing how she wants.
In the summer vacation of 2000, Tian Fuzhen was going to work in a beverage store during the summer vacation. Tian’s mother said: "There is a singing competition. If you win the championship, you will be awarded NT$10,000."
Hearing that there were rewards and punishments, Tian Fuzhen, who likes to sing, agreed without hesitation.
At the same time, Chen Jiahua from Pingtung also participated in this competition. Although she is a girl, she behaves like a boy. She cuts her hair short, wears boys' clothes, and plays with boys. She is a true tomboy.
Later, Chen Jiahua fell in love with a boy she was playing with. She was very good to this boyfriend. Even if the boy did bad things and was detained by the police, she did not break up. The boy needed an ID card and she didn't dare tell her parents. Without saying anything, she climbed the wall to the boy's house to get the ID card.
Unfortunately, she misjudged the wrong person. This boy was very carefree. He made several girlfriends during their relationship with her, and his attitude towards her became increasingly cold and indifferent. In the end, he simply ignored her.
Chen Jiahua was very sad after being abandoned by her boyfriend. She often drank to soothe her sorrows. Her parents were very worried about her, so she was not allowed to mess around outside and asked her to return to her home in the countryside.
Chen Jiahua’s family is not wealthy. She has two older sisters and one younger brother. Her parents are very stressed in life, have a bad temper, and often quarrel.
One time, her parents had another fierce quarrel, and they refused to give in. Chen Jiahua, who couldn't bear it, picked up a fruit knife and held it against his wrist to threaten his parents: "Do you really want me to do this to stop the quarrel?"
The parents were horrified and immediately stopped arguing.
Originally, Chen Jiahua was not interested in participating in the "Universe 2000 Powerful Girls Competition", but the huge prize money in the competition attracted her. Her purpose was simple - she wanted to use the prize money to buy a new sofa at home. .
The competition was very fierce, and 5 girls entered the finals, including Tian Fuzhen, Ren Jiaxuan and Chen Jiahua.
The staff asked the five girls who entered the finals: "Which of you is confident about winning the championship?"
The other four girls shook their heads, but Chen Jiahua raised her hand. "I think I can".
That day, Chen Jiahua worked hard for the competition and reluctantly wore her second sister's skirt.
Although he was wearing a skirt, he still looked like a boy. The judge teacher was a little confused and said: "Isn't she a beauty pageant girl? Why is there a beautiful boy here?"
In the end, Ren Jiaxuan won the prize. After winning the championship and being qualified to sign a contract, the remaining four girls had no choice but to go home.
However, after careful consideration, the company leaders decided to keep Tian Fuzhen and Chen Jiahua, and form a girl group with Ren Jiaxuan to debut together.
As a result, the fate of the three girls was closely linked, sharing the joys and sorrows, and being intimately connected.
After a period of devil training, the three girls finally made their debut.
The company had great expectations for the three girls and took great pains to give them stage names.
Ren Jiaxuan has a gentle personality, represents the moonlight goddess, and is named Selina.
Tian Fuzhen is firm and confident, represents the God of Spring, and is named Hebe.
Chen Jiahua is cheerful and courageous, represents the God of War, and is named Ella.
At this point, the SHE women’s team was officially born.
On September 11, 2001, S.H.E released its first album "Girls' Dormitory" with great anticipation, preparing for a "good start".
The album sales were disastrous, and the media immediately badmouthed them: "S.H.E can't survive three albums." Huayan's boss also lost confidence and said to the distribution director: "Can you help me make this album?" To 30,000."
Ella said to Hebe and Selina: "Maybe our dream of becoming a star will not go on."
Some media even bluntly said that the girl group will be disbanded soon. .
A month later, a miracle happened. Their first autograph session was packed with fans. The album sold 750,000 copies across Asia. In the second year, it was nominated for the Best of the 13th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. Newcomer Award.
When they became popular on stage, they also had a popular slogan:
"Hello everyone, we are S.H.E! Boys' girlfriends, girls' best friends."
The sales of "Girls' Dormitory" were a blockbuster, and the title song "Not Yet Lovers" was shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award that year.
The results were as expected, and the company leaders were very satisfied. They concentrated their resources on supporting the three little girls and produced "Youth Co., Ltd." and "Brave New World" while the iron was hot. The sales volume was gratifying, even surpassing that of Stefanie Sun, who was very popular at the time.
The three little girls never dreamed that they would become famous overnight and become idols in the hearts of millions of people. Their hearts were full of mixed feelings and emotions.
When I was an ordinary person, I was envious of the stars on the stage, who were shining brightly and gaining both fame and wealth. When I became a star myself, I realized how beautiful and hard it is to be a star.
After their debut, the three of them worked very hard. They would get up early and come home late, either at work or on the way to work.
It doesn’t matter if it’s difficult or tiring. For the sake of their dreams and fame and fortune, the three of them are willing to work hard. There are just some things they don’t want to do, but they have to do them under the company’s requirements.
For example, if you are asked to meet with a certain boss for work needs, if you don't want to go, you will be scolded.
For example, if you are not feeling well and need to rest, but the company forces you to work, the company will use you as a tireless robot for the sake of profit.
In 2003, three people participated in the recording of China Television's "Happy Sunday" program and were asked to jump off an air mattress from the third floor.
Selina and Hebe are timid and have a fear of heights. They tremble when they look down. They don’t even dare to take a look, let alone jump down.
Under the urging of the staff, the tomboy Ella was very brave. No matter whether she had the ability or not, she gritted her teeth and jumped first. As a result, she broke her spine and lay in the hospital for several months.
The injured Ella regretted it very much and was worried that her future would be affected. She was depressed every day and even suffered from mild depression under the pressure.
Fortunately, the two good sisters did not forget her. On the podium, Selina held up a doll and said, "Ella is in the hospital now, and this doll represents her."
This year, unfortunately, Ella was injured, but this year was also the luckiest year and the most peak moment for this women's team.
In August 2003, their fifth album "Super Star" was released and immediately became popular in Asia. It won seven awards and sold more than 2.75 million copies.
The album "Super Star" was so popular that it directly pushed S.H.E into the super popular Asian girl group.
The official FIFA World Cup Weibo launched a poll - "Which song do you want to hear at the FIFA World Cup stadium?". Among the 1.06 million people who voted, 517,000 people voted for "Super Star".
At that time, the only women's group team in the Chinese music scene that could compete with S.H.E was the Twins under Hong Kong Emperor.
The Twins became popular thanks to "Next Stop Queen", and they occupied two important places in Hong Kong and Taiwan respectively with S.H.E.
The competition between the two groups has been fierce. In 2006, Twins appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage and sang a song "Apprentice Cupid".
In 2008, S.H.E also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and sang "Chinese".
The two fans fought against each other on Baidu Tieba over their idol teams. The posts reached 154 floors and became a unique scene at the time.
After becoming famous, S.H.E not only sang, but also acted in movies and TV series, and they participated in "The Right Girl" together.
At that time, actors were more dedicated in filming and rarely used stand-ins. If no stand-ins were used, it meant danger.
During the filming of a scene, Ella's ears were accidentally burned by a candle flame due to gas leakage. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and reached out to cover her face in time to avoid burning her face.
If you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. Ella was nominated for the Golden Bell Award for Best Actress for "The Right Girl", which can be said to be well deserved.
Hebe told Selina: "It was only a matter of time before Ella won the award. She loves acting and is the drama queen in S.H.E." , Twins exist in name only. Being implicated, Gillian had to interrupt her singing career and chose to pursue a solo career.
At the same time, S.H.E's "Forever" is the best-selling album in Taiwan, unrivaled.
S.H.E is so popular that people are stunned, and their hobbies are also jaw-dropping.
Once, the host asked S.H.E what her hobbies were, and the three girls said seriously: "I like to sing and dance naked in the dormitory."
S.H.E was a guest on "Kangxi Is Coming" ", Little S asked what he would do if he stopped singing.
Tomboy Ella blurted out: "I will be a good wife and mother, and it is best to have three children."
Selina said: "I prefer children, but I don't want to have any. ”
Hebe said: “Go with the flow and do whatever you want.”
In this episode, the three girls all talked about their future plans, which also shows that they have prepared for a rainy day and have a girl group. Be mentally prepared for dissolution.
The results confirmed what they said. Selina and Ella, who wanted to have children, fell in love and got married one after another, which directly led to the dissolution of the most popular female team in the Chinese music industry.
On May 29, 2010, the Taipei Arena was crowded with people, and SHE was holding the "One for Love" concert.
Halfway through, Ella suddenly said: "It seems that a special fan wants to speak. Do we want to listen?"
Hebe asked deliberately: "Where is it?"
The fans in the audience instantly screamed: "Over here!"
Ella pulled Selina to the middle of the stage.
A figure stood up slowly under the stage and looked at Selina with a smile on his face.
Hebe shouted: "It's Ah Zhong!"
Selina was speechless in surprise. She and the man named Ah Zhong looked at each other, smiling with tears in their eyes. .
Ah Zhong is Selina’s boyfriend Zhang Chengzhong.
At this moment, he held the proposal and said to Selina: "Wife..."
Selina pretended not to hear and said loudly: "What did you call me? ?”
A Zhong said in a louder voice: “I call you wife, wife, please marry me!”
Suddenly, the enthusiasm of the audience was ignited. They all shouted in unison: "Together! Together..."
Selina on the stage was so excited that she covered her face with her hands and shed tears of happiness.
Selina’s official announcement of their relationship means that SHE may be separated.
Fans know that they will disband one day, but they don’t want it to happen so soon.
However, Huayan announced that S.H.E would not disband as a solo act, and then the three of them were busy with their own affairs.
Hebe began to release a solo album.
Ella entered the entertainment industry and was favored by director Chen Yuxun, who appointed her to play the heroine of "The Last Act".
In early 2010, her idol drama "I Just Want to Rely on You" with Jerry Yan Chengxu premiered on Taiwan's Central Television and continued to rank first in ratings. Before that, she had appeared in four idol dramas including "The Right Girl" and "Boys Over Flowers".
Selina developed into a host and signed a one-season contract with CTV's "I Guess".
Although they all fly solo, whenever the company has important activities, the three of them will be recalled.
The company’s slogan is: As long as fans need S.H.E, S.H.E will exist.
S.H.E fans are very happy, thinking that their favorite S.H.E will always exist and will continue to accompany them for ten or twenty years.
But a fire incident a month later dealt a fatal blow to S.H.E.
One day a month later, Selina was filming "I Have a Date with Spring" in Shanghai, and an accidental explosion occurred at the scene, and her whole body was blown out.
Selina, who suffered severe burns all over her body, was rushed to the hospital, but there was a traffic jam at that time. Selina was extremely anxious and asked when she would get to the hospital. The driver reluctantly said that it would be at least an hour and forty minutes.
When they arrived at the hospital, Selina's father and husband were already waiting at the hospital. The father kept comforting his daughter, "Xuanxuan, daddy is here, Ah Zhong is here, don't be afraid, we are all here."
Treating burns was very painful. Selina was treated in the hospital for more than 40 days. She endured severe physical and mental pain every day. She was emotionally depressed and was on the verge of collapse. She even yelled at her family: "Why?" You want to save me? Why don't you let me die?"
Throughout the recovery process, Hebe and Ella went to the hospital to comfort her whenever they could, hoping that she would be braver, more optimistic, and actively cooperate with the treatment. Try to return to the stage as soon as possible.
Selina bought a house in Taipei before she was injured and was still paying the mortgage. She was worried that she would not be able to work and would have no money to continue paying the mortgage.
Ella and Hebe reassured her and promised that even if she could not work, the sisters would help her pay off the remaining mortgage loan.
During Selina’s treatment, Zhang Chengzhong wrote a book recording the details of Selina’s daily hospitalization. Initially he wrote: Today Ella is here, today Hebe is here. Later, Hebe came so often that he had to write that Hebe came every day.
Selina proposed to terminate the engagement several times, but Zhang Chengzhong refused without hesitation.
Her two good sisters love her very much, and her boyfriend never leaves her, making her feel like the happiest person in the world.
In 2011, Selina and Zhang Chengzhong held their wedding.
Not long after Selina got married, Ella also announced the good news.
On May 5, 2012, Ella held her wedding in Taipei, and the wedding scene was extremely lively.
Tomboy Ella’s nature is hard to change. Even at the most important wedding in her life, she doesn’t want to be a beautiful and quiet bride. She takes off her wedding dress, puts on a short skirt and high heels, and sings with the groom on the stage. dance.
All the guests laughed, and the happiest people were Selina and Hebe.
In 2017, Ella became pregnant and her family recommended a caesarean section when she was giving birth, but Ella insisted on a natural delivery and decided to give birth naturally in water.
The delivery process was extremely painful. Selina and Hebe shouted to her: "Wife (nickname), come on!"
Her husband Lai Sixiang also kept holding Ella's hand, eager to use up his strength All delivered to Ella.
When Ella gave birth to her son Jinbao with the encouragement of everyone, everyone shed tears.
In September 2011, the 10th anniversary of S.H.E, the three sang "Wife". This was the first time the three of them got together after Selina was injured.
After the fire, Selina's vocal cords were damaged and her singing was not as beautiful as before. However, she still mustered up the courage to sing.
When Selina finished singing a sentence with a smile on her face, Ella and Hebe were so moved that they covered their faces and burst into tears.
In 2018, S.H.E held a 17th anniversary concert, and 12,000 tickets were sold out within one minute.
In order to leave her best voice to the audience, Selina had no choice but to lip-sync throughout the performance. When her fans discovered it, they criticized her, and she had to post a long apology on Weibo: "What you heard It was indeed not the most authentic voice I had live, and I’m really sorry because my voice disappointed many people.”
Due to Selina’s vocal cord damage, she could never regain her previous tone, so S.H.E had no choice but to disband. It happened that the contract between S.H.E and Huayan expired and the two parties would not renew the contract.
Then the three of them went their separate ways. Ella often participated in variety shows, actively wanted Selina to return to her family, and took her parents out to play. Only Hebe insisted on singing.
When they first debuted, among the three girls, the company did not think highly of Hebe. During stage performances, Hebe always stood behind Selina and Ella, and Ella often pulled her to the front: " You have to be more confident, you are better than us."
After his solo career, Hebe returned to his original name Tian Fuzhen. His first album "To Hebe" became an instant hit and received four Golden Melody Award nominations.
Netizens born in the 80s and 70s laughed at themselves: "Old aunties are called Hebe, young people only know Tian Fuzhen."
In recent years, the number of Chinese girl groups has increased, and officially There are more than 30 girl groups that have debuted, but except for SHN48 and Rocket Girls 101, the other girl groups are unknown, and they were not even known until they disbanded.
When Rocket Girls 101 debuted, Wang Sicong posted on Weibo: "It turns out that it can be so tacky. This show is known as the strongest girl group in China, but the result is..."
One month after their debut, Rocket Girls 101 composed the brainwashing song "Calorie", which became popular through the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and won the 2019 Weibo Night Most Popular Movie Soundtrack Award.
The impressive results they achieved right after their debut made many people look upon Rocket Girls 101 with admiration. Unexpectedly, the girl group was already at its peak at this time.
Two years after forming the group, Rocket Girls 101 held a farewell ceremony and announced their disbandment.
"People's Daily" once published an article saying: ""Produce 101" created idols, not girl groups."
Although the three of them terminated their contracts with Huayan, they still hope to achieve success through other The two parties negotiated for four months, but the negotiations broke down. The company does not allow the three of them to continue to use the name S.H.E, nor can they perform their previous songs.
Faced with the ruthlessness of her former company, Ella said: "I was surprised and helpless by Huayan's approach."
Some time ago, S.H.E's 2006 single "ring" "Ring ring" has become popular on the Douyin platform, and the topic remains high, with nearly one million lyrics collected. Some netizens lamented: "Everyone on the Internet can sing this song, except the original singer."
In August 2021, Tian Fuzhen won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer for "Nobody Knows". Selina and Ella sent their blessings online. Tian Fuzhen's eyes filled with tears: "I am a climber, but my legs were really weak when I walked up that flight of stairs just now... What can reassure my mother is that she won the Golden Melody Award and did not waste water money." p>
A former fan said: "How about you guys get together and hold a concert again? Now I have money."
Faced with the fans' request, the three of them were overwhelmed but unable to do so. It's not that they didn't want to They returned to the stage together, but due to copyright reasons they could not continue singing the previous songs.
If we don’t return to the stage under the name of S.H.E, if we don’t sing the previous songs, there is no point in returning to the stage.
It is not only a pity for the fans that the three of them cannot be together, but also a pity for S.H.E!
In the entertainment industry, there is no team that will not disband, and S.H.E is no exception. No matter how good it is, it will eventually come to an end.
Regarding when S.H.E will disband, the famous musician Yuan Weiren once said: "There is no such thing as a feast that never ends"
S.H.E has disbanded, but the relationship between the three of them has become stronger and deeper. , one time, the three of them were chatting together and the question of who would die first came up.
Selina said, if one of you dies first, don’t come to me, I’m afraid of ghosts.
After hearing this, Hebe told the two people seriously: "If you didn't come to me, I would miss you so much. So it's okay to become a ghost. You must remember to come to me."
As soon as Hebe finished speaking, the three of them began to cry bitterly. Their tears dried up and they rolled on the ground...
Although the three of them loved the name S.H.E very much and wanted to be together very much. It may take a little longer, but the three of them know very well that there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Sooner or later, they will disband and go their separate ways.
They don’t want to face all this, but they have to face it.
However, no matter what the outcome is, they all cherish this friendship and the good time together.
For us, no matter how reluctant we are to let go, S.H.E has become a thing of the past and has become the most beautiful but unfulfilled dream in our hearts.
Today we are no longer boys and girls, but in the dead of night, when the familiar melody sounds, a picture will unfold in our minds, making ourselves sometimes laugh and sometimes cry, as if we have returned to the past. , back to the heart-thumping young boy who just had his first love!
The reason why we like her is because we deeply love our young and ignorant selves, the nostalgia for youth, and the aftertaste of beautiful plots!
