Thirty-two years have passed by in a flash, from when the three became popular to when they parted ways, why are the three tigers so different?

The second season of "Produce Camp 2019" was launched. Su Youpeng brought a rap version of "Green Apple Paradise", which instantly broke the audience and brought back many people's youthful memories... He was in the show He shouted from the air: "Wu Qilong, Chen Zhipeng, it's time for us to have a dinner date." Then both of them responded actively on Weibo.

In the late 1980s, the "Little Tigers" were the most popular singing group in the Asian pop music scene. The songs of the Three Tigers were full of youthful vitality and were deeply loved by fans. They were so popular that in just a few years they Why was it disbanded? Why did the three of them go their separate ways? The three people collided due to fate

In July 1987, Taiwan Kaili Company launched a program "Youth Confrontation". The program consisted of a "kitty team" of three girls serving as host assistants. The program was very effective, but in order to balance the picture, the company posted an advertisement to recruit three boys. The handsome 18-year-old Wu Qilong was spotted by a talent scout and was pushed hard enough to agree to participate in the audition. The 16-year-old Chen Zhiming, who loves to dance, dresses better than his peers. The 15-year-old Alec Su, who is a top student, is even more popular in the eyes of his parents. good baby. Three teenagers stood out from more than 3,000 applicants, and the three were cleverly arranged together to form the "Little Tiger Team". Fate is so wonderful that you can't stop it when it comes.

At first, they only helped the company with behind-the-scenes assistants, styling, transportation and other tasks, and occasionally showed their faces. To Song Wenshan's surprise, these three teenagers had just appeared on TV to do a program and inadvertently "stole" the host's limelight. In just a few months, countless people saw the youth and vitality of the three tigers. They were deeply attracted, and the songs they recorded quickly became popular every week. The program "Youth Confrontation" also reached the ratings championship because of them. From July to December 1988, within 5 months, it was to countless letters from viewers.

Because of this, UFO Records discovered their potential and signed them from Kaili Entertainment Company. The three "Little Tiger Team" changed from Kaili's program assistants to UFO Records' artists. The second In 2016, a single "Green Apple Paradise" became the focus of Taiwanese people as soon as it was released, and its popularity soared. In April of the same year, it was said that where did the term "chasing stars" come from? The Little Tigers held a "marathon signature event of 10,000 people", which attracted more than 20,000 people. The scene was so crowded that even Taiwan's TV news reported the event. Although the post-90s generation did not witness their popularity, their songs have never been erased from their memory...

The Three Tigers quickly became popular throughout Asia with their youthful trends and unique music style. and the Chinese world. "Love", "Butterflies Fly", "Find a Home for Dreams" and other songs released. Almost every album has achieved sales miracles. Their songs have become popular one after another, and countless girls' rooms are covered with "Little Tiger" stickers. Team" poster. In his teenage years, the best years of his life, he performed the vitality that a teenager should have on the stage and gained one honor after another. Known as the "originators of Chinese idol groups", why did Little Tigers temporarily disband after their sixth album in 1991? There is a time to gather and part ways

In 1988, the "Little Tiger Team" was composed of the 18-year-old sports student "Thunderbolt Tiger" Wu Qilong, the 17-year-old dance student "Little Handsome Tiger" Chen Zhipeng, and the 15-year-old Jianzhong top student "Guaiguai Tiger" Su Youpeng formed a team. In the hot era of Asia, they are not only trendy singers that society needs, but also students in school who are worried about their studies. After their debut, the three of them got along day and night, and they had a deep brotherly relationship. However, under the glamorous stage, the three teenagers of the Little Tigers hid a lot of unspeakable confusion. All are in different predicaments. Su Youpeng was the youngest, had too much academic pressure, and was focused on rehearsing his career. He couldn't take care of the dual responsibilities, so Song Wenshan wanted to replace Su Youpeng and even found a replacement.

But Su Youpeng said with tears in his eyes: "I will cooperate with the company's actions, and I will also be responsible for my studies. I will bear these alone." The young Su Youpeng didn't know that this burden was heavier than he expected, but now, for that time, the social discussion and the pressure of the school were all over. Wu Qilong was more interested in judo than being a star. I don’t know how long it took, but due to his family’s heavy debts, a teenager under the age of 20 faced the dilemma of repaying his debts. The remuneration he received for performing was several times or even dozens of times that of judo. Times, he could only put his favorite dreams on hold again and again.

Chen Zhipeng, who had no worries about food and clothing, loved dancing and aspired to become a big star since he was a child. As the three of them, he was the least distinctive one at first. He couldn't find his own position, and he began to lose himself "under the halo of others". In 1991, because Chen Zhipeng was drafted into the army and Su Youpeng was studying in school, the Little Tigers were disbanded for the first time. In the end, only Wu Qilong was left, performing the stage alone, always alone in the lead. Su Youpeng was admitted to National Taiwan University as he wished, but he was "not interested" in the mechanical major, so he decided to drop out of National Taiwan University. In 1993, Chen Zhipeng returned and the three reunited. However, the entertainment industry was not so gentle. New famous idols came one after another, and the Little Tigers no longer had the glory they once had.

In 1996, the company where Little Tigers worked was completely acquired by Warner Music and was completely disbanded due to external reasons.

Wu Qilong entered the military service in 1997. As the eldest brother, he was very reluctant to leave his two younger brothers. Recalling the time when the three of them were on stage, Su Youpeng cried and said: "I don't know when the three of us can stand together again, when can we Sing "Green Apple Paradise" again? After that, the three of them parted ways and went their separate ways. Later, "Little Tigers" became the youthful memories of a generation, and was shelved in a moment of memory. For more than 30 years, the songs produced by the group "Little Tigers" have never been forgotten by people. They are also the "Chinese-level boy group". genus. What happened to them later?

Since the disbandment of the "Little Tigers", they have been at a "crossroads" in life, choosing different development paths and continuing to move forward. Different from the past, the three of them traveled together instead of flying alone.

Wu Qilong went to serve in the military after being cured of his dislocated arm. As a result, the handsome man missed many performance opportunities. He had not worked for more than a year and was burdened with huge debts. In 1998, Wu Qilong served in the army. After completing his military service, he set his sights on Hong Kong and the mainland. In order to repay his debts, Wu Qilong filmed day and night, setting a record of barely sleeping for seven days and seven nights. The response to film and television dramas was pretty good, especially after filming "Xiao Shiyi" "Lang", he finally paid off the debt he had carried for 12 years. At the same time, Wu Qilong's career was pushed to its peak. In 2003, he moved to the business world and set up his own business, constantly looking for film and television resources.

The trough period of Chen Zhipeng seems to be longer than Wu Qilong and Su Youpeng. Before the earliest times, some people said that he had an "idol face" like Leslie Cheung. Under the influence of his family background, he always had his own "star dream". After his solo career, the records he released were mediocre. He once had a very good reputation. Opportunity, the third male "Er Tai" in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" did not improve. As a dancer, he also set foot on the Broadway stage in New York, and then faded out of the entertainment industry and began to imitate Leslie Cheung, and lived his life as A "shadow", but it is not myself after all. Chen Zhiming has been trying various paths, but has never found a way out. Although fate is unpredictable, as long as you don't give in, everything is possible.

Su Youpeng dropped out of National Taiwan University, which caused many people to question him and even led to the collapse of his obedient character. He ran into obstacles everywhere. He tried to release records, appear in variety shows and host, but all ended in failure. It wasn't until 1997 that he put aside his previous reputation as the Little Tigers and started anew. He seized the role of the fifth elder brother in "Huanzhugege" and appeared in front of the public as an actor. He gained a lot of fame in the name of "the fifth elder brother". Few fans. It is not that easy to become an actor from an idol singer. Su Youpeng struggled and slowly found his way. Of course, his acting skills and hard work were also noticed by the public. Comparing the subsequent development of the three, who do you think has a smoother career development?

Although after the disbandment of the former "Little Tiger Team", the three tigers rushed to different life trajectories, this combination has always been engraved in the memories of the times. The songs from the streets and alleys of that era are still lingering in my ears for a long time, and the straightforward and beautiful lyrics pluck the heartstrings of adolescent boys. Those born in the 80s and 90s will all find that whether their development is good or bad is no longer so important. What is important is whether the "Little Tigers" who are full of youth and energy in people's eyes can be reunited? Standing on the same stage, let the public see the "former Little Tiger Team"? The Little Tigers took the stage and rocked the scene

Five years after their disbandment, Su Youpeng invited two Tigers as guests at his concert in Shanghai in 2002. The three gathered on the stage to sing a song "The Star is Still Shining". This is the first time the three of them have performed together on stage since their disbandment. The stars will always shine brightly, and the heroic and heroic demeanor of the Little Tigers will never change.

The theme of the Spring Festival Gala every year will be set according to the zodiac. The 2010 Spring Festival Gala, the Year of the Tiger, of course will inevitably include the "Little Tiger Team". This "middle-aged Little Tiger Team" that was once popular in Asia is once again online. They performed a medley of songs, the song was called "Reunion", their union of the century was one of the biggest highlights of the Spring Festival Gala, and it ignited the beating hearts of many little tiger fans. After all, in the more than 10 years apart, the three of them have We had less than 10 opportunities to share the stage. The Spring Festival Gala was like a reunion of their old classmates, and during the backstage interviews, they were like children eating lollipops. Regardless of the identity gap when we meet again, you will still be the you I was most familiar with.

A few days ago, I came across my favorite blogger Yu Zai on Douyin. He shouted through the air to look for Rae, a girl who loves to travel. She records real and beautiful stories on the road. There are many Fans like her and are more or less moved by her sincerity. She stopped updating for 5 months. Like the former "Little Tiger Team", she was not prepared to face the uncertain factors in the future. The growth in popularity made them overwhelmed. But after time has passed, they have calmed down, thought about their past, faced the future bravely, and understandably want to be better versions of themselves, and let the public know and love them better in their own way.

Su Youpeng served as a mentor in last year's "Produce Camp 2019". He said in the trailer: "Little Tigers cannot be the halo of my life. I want to become a powerful artist." He also said in the air The announcement that the two tigers would have a dinner date together made countless people look forward to the "Little Tiger Team" getting together again. After so many years, the relationship between the three people is still as good as ever. A sore nose can make people cry. More than 30 years have passed, and these youthful years have followed in their footsteps, and no one can replace them to this day.

Conclusion

Thirty-two years have passed by in a flash, from 1988 to 2020. The "Little Tiger Team" will always be the three tigers who worked hard in the "Youth Era". Time is like a butcher's knife, cutting off the innocence and childishness of youth, while adding intelligence and freedom to maturity. Do you think there will be a second "Chinese boy band" with every song that is familiar to everyone?

Be grateful for the past and forge ahead. Everyone's past can be composed into a piece of music. There are "sours, sweets, bitters, and spicy" in the score. They are all precious treasures in life. In a few years or even decades, looking back, they must be little beauties that have been treasured.
