For a long time, we were obsessed with the long bagpipe music; For a long time, we have been intoxicated with the endless pure green grassland, because we like to mix the warm water vapor and clear grass fragrance of the North Atlantic ... and all this belongs to Ireland, a beautiful island country in western Europe. Indeed, everything named after "green" in Ireland (in Irish, their country name means "green") is always amazing.
A beautiful country is bound to have some beautiful stories. Westlife's story begins in sligo, a small town in the northwest of Ireland, because it is the hometown of Shane, Mark and Kean, the protagonists of this story.
Their first performance was performed at the Hawksville Theatre in sligo at the age of 12. In that performance, Shane played Danny, Keane played Kainiki and Mark played Vince. So, the three boys knew each other like this, and they were destined to create a great thing together.
When Shane, Keane and Mark were studying at Summerhill College, Boyzone was the best pop band in Ireland. They are a group that attracts thousands of boys and girls with melancholy songs and inspires Shane's dream of becoming a star. He once wanted to form a four-person band named "SC4" with his classmates Mark and Micheal Garret after graduating from college. He found Kian, a lovely blond boy, who was playing with heavy metals at that time, but they still came together for the same ideal.
Soon, Derek Larey and Graham Keighron from the same school also joined the band, and the six of them changed their names to I.O.U Soon, they released the first single written by Shane * * *(Mark * * * *, named Together Girl Forever. Unfortunately, this is the last single of I.O.U, but the boys' ideals are getting better and better in their efforts.
Shane's mother, Mae Filan, has been in contact with Louise Walsh, the manager of Boyzone, but he is busy with the complicated affairs of Boyzone and does not intend to sign this I.O.U, but their excellent performance makes experienced Louise very sad. After careful consideration, the shrewd Louise introduced I.O.U. to ronan patrick john keating, the lead singer of "Boyzone", and hoped that this striking music angel would lead the boys of I.O.U. to success. After listening to Shane and some BSB songs they sang, Ronan's intuition told him that they would become future stars. As a result, he and Louise became * * * agents of the I.O.U Maybe Shane, Mark and Kian are too good to cover up all the light of the other three members. Louise told Shane that he just wanted to sign them. The choice between feelings and fate is always difficult. In the face of possible lost friendship, hesitation and pain are inevitable. However, listening to the call of the future, people should learn to give up something, even for a better legend.

A band with three members may miss something. Soon, after a small-scale experiment, they welcomed two other young people with the same blood, Byron and Nicky. Thus, Xicheng (the original name of Westlife Xicheng) was officially born. From the hot summer of 1998, Westside began to sell itself to major record companies by singing songs by Boyz II Men, Boyzone and Take That live. Youth is capital, but it also means inexperience, because powerful large record companies are obviously unwilling to do some more uncertain business.
Gold always shines. Simon cowell, a senior consultant of BMG, was finally moved by the threat of the West Side. At the moment of signing with BMG, Simon may not even realize that he has become the biggest winner, because Westside is the kind of band that can shine as long as there is a little sunshine. On Boyzone's tour, they began to sing in public as a warm-up venue, and won the Best Newcomer Award in a sensational roadshow tour organized by Smash Hits magazine. 1at the beginning of 999, Westside accidentally discovered that there was a band with the same name in the United States on the other side of the ocean, and many West Coast products and even movies were named after it. Although it is risky to change the name suddenly when people gather a lot of popularity, this small move can't stop five young musicians from moving forward. Their future is even more dazzling with the birth of the new name "Westlife".
On April 9th, 1999, Westlife's first single "Sweat Again" came out after a brief publicity. Once released, they went straight to the top of the British singles charts (in fact, their career in Asia began with the launch of Sweat Again EP in Asia in June, 1999). Soon after, the second single "If I Let You Go" and the third single "Flying Without Wings" successively topped the charts, which made Westlife, who just debuted, not only surpass Boyzone, which they had warmed up for, but also become the first band in the history of British music to release three singles in a row and win the championship. At the same time, "Flying without Wings" was surveyed by100000 British people and won the single of the year award of 1999.

South higher education
In the singing contest "Cruel Stage" in 2000, many girls with dreams were eliminated one by one, but only three beautiful girl warriors stood out. These three girls are the girls who will become S.H.E in the future.
Debut related information:
South H.E. was born in the draft competition. When I first started out, I was often scolded for being inarticulate. Three people cried and comforted each other, but now they have become popular idol groups. Their popularity has not diminished for more than five years, and even they themselves feel incredible. "At first, I just played with tickets and wanted to have a dream. I didn't expect it to be out of control." When they returned to the dormitory where they lived together, they smiled and said, "At that time, in order to save money, they dared not take a taxi. They just walk to the company every day to save 70 yuan. "
They have experienced all kinds of storms since they entered the business. Selina's most fulfilling thing is to finish her studies at Normal University. She was so tired in recent years that she cried several times to take care of her studies and career. "Notice so much every day, I don't have my own time. How can I have extra energy to study? If my classmates hadn't helped me a lot, I would have dropped out of school. "
Selina said that her father opposed her dropping out of school and helped her squeeze K books into the company all day, otherwise she might not graduate. "On the day I put on my bachelor's uniform, I finally survived my crying."
Playing games is very hard.
Hebe remembers once playing the electric chair game on the show, and the production unit lied to her that she just pretended not to really discharge. "At that time, four strong men dressed as demons put me in the electric chair, and I was too scared to stand the fierce struggle. The current is really strong, and my clothes are lifted when I twist, and my chest is almost exposed. There was an audience at the scene. I couldn't escape and burst into tears. The staff rescued me without seeing the situation clearly. Now that I think about it, I still have a lingering fear. "
After her popularity, her health also paid a price. Ella died for Happy Sunday, too. During a fire drill, she fell from the sky like a fireman, but accidentally fell, causing a compression fracture of the lumbar spine. She was hospitalized for more than 20 days and suspended her acting career for 3 months.
Ella's parents came from the south to take care of her. "On the day of discharge, Sister Xiaoyan came to pick me up, and I told her,' I can stand up!' "She just smiled. I have never seen her so happy. During the hospitalization, family and classmates took turns to accompany her, making her realize the importance of life and cherish everything she has.
Independence, fame and wealth
Now S.H.E is rich and famous. Ella bought a house in Taipei. The three people stopped sticking together and went back to the apartment where they lived together. Even though the building changed from a business hotel to a common residence, they looked at the seventh floor and said with emotion, "That was the beginning of our acquaintance and we will never forget it."
Selina plotted to take the designer's job.
Nan H.E became famous early. If they don't become artists one day, they have their own plans in mind. Selina wants to carry forward the DIY spirit. She is very talented in design. She developed her own ornaments and put them in her friend Jay Chou's shop for trial sale. The sales response is very good. "I want to go to design school for further study and create my own brand in the future."
Hebe is eager to travel around the world because her cousin works in a travel agency. She smiled and said that if she was not popular, she might be a tour guide in a travel agency.
Ella retired Kaimian branch
Ella studied medical management. Before her debut, she helped people register at the counter, but she said that when she faded away as an artist, she wanted to go back to Pingtung to farm or open a noodle restaurant for her neighbors to visit. She thought of the name of the store and called it "Ella's fucking noodle restaurant". She said, "Because my mother wants to do it!"
Xiaotian has no freedom to earn hundreds of millions the year after next.
Nan H.E has changed from an ordinary girl to a little diva in the music world, surrounded by the aura of worship, with an annual salary of hundreds of millions but lost her freedom.
Rumors of helplessness keep spreading.
Hebe said helplessly, "My classmates envy me for not worrying about money, but I can't go anywhere I want. For example, everyone is traveling abroad, and my classmates are worried that the toll is not enough, but I want to go but I don't have time. " The tone is full of helplessness as a public figure. "I don't contact my classmates and have few friends. It's hard to make friends. "
Selina is lucky, the other two have graduated, she is still a sophomore, and the interaction with her classmates has never stopped. However, she admitted that her freedom was reduced, especially the affair with Show Lo was heated by the media, which made her feel that it was not easy to make friends in the circle.
Ella is recognized as a generator. Every time she plays, she tells the hero an anecdote. She had no choice but to smile and say, "It's all speculation." After entering the entertainment circle, she cherished getting along with her family and friends more, but was unable to do so. "Every time I go back to my hometown Pingtung autograph session, I come and go in a hurry, so I can only invite relatives and friends to see me at the autograph session."
Jiro Wang is the example mentioned above.
