On August 25, some netizens broke the news that Zhao Wei was about to be banned, saying that the above emergency meeting had discussed the matter, and had notified the TV station that it should be exposed in two days.
At that time, many people felt that it was alarmist, Zhao Wei was fine when she wore the Japanese military flag, and now she has not done anything.
However, on the night of the 26th, the name "Zhao Wei" disappeared on many platforms.
Related film and television works have removed her from the list, including the former national mythological drama "Huan Zhu Gege", and there is no place for her in the starring role.
Then, the stars who had interacted closely with her also began the plot of people walking tea and cutting off relations.
Huang Xiaoming, Yang Zi and others have deleted Weibo related to her.
It was as if yesterday's worship and stuttering had never happened.
Some people say that Zhao Wei's coolness is related to the previous Zhang Zhehan Beauty Day incident, because Zhao Wei is Zhang Zhehan's boss.
Some people also say that Zhao Wei has already had a lot of black materials before, such as the Japanese military flag photo incident, the stock market cutting leek incident, the debt default event.......
Some people say that the relationship between him and Ma Yun is not ordinary, and he is also inextricably linked to Ant Financial.
This time Hangzhou local anti-corruption, Zhao Wei may be involved.
But at present, these are still speculations, why the ban, may also let the bullet fly for a while.
However, it is certain that Zhao Wei's stock market cut leeks, the use of capital to wash white in the entertainment industry, and the suppression of criticism are all real.
Even the official media account articles can be deleted.
Her energy is no longer as simple as a film and television star.
Over the years, Zhao Wei has long retreated behind the scenes, and she also has many actors and many assets.
In fact, it doesn't matter to her whether she retreats from the circle or not, she has lived the life of a rich woman a long time ago.
If this time is just to block the circle, it is fine.
However, if it involves crime, it may be more serious.
In addition, along with Zhao Wei, there were zheng shuang, Huo Zun, Zhang Heng and others.
Even the famous Gao Xiaosong was also rumored to have all his works removed from the shelves.
It can be seen that after the heavy hammer of education and training and Internet monopoly.
The next hammer is the entertainment industry!

Over the past 20 years, Chinese seems to have become accustomed to a mindset - how big xx is the coffee position, it's okay, rest assured!
It is true that in the past 20 years, many celebrities, even if they have lost their private morality, even if they have violated the law and harmed the people, it seems that after a period of time, almost all of them can land safely.
In 2018, Fan Bingbing and the company he represented as the legal representative underpaid 248 million yuan in taxes, of which 134 million yuan was evaded in taxes.
Many people felt that she should go in like Liu Xiaoqing.
However, the end result is only a fine of 800 million.
At that time, some netizens were uneven: "We think that 800 million is a sky-high price, but for them it is only a dime."
Indeed, the entertainment industry is coming to money faster than many people can imagine.
Wu Yifan spent 7 years in China, fishing more than a billion yuan, and Zheng Shuang's daily salary was 2.08 million.
Ordinary people work hard for a year and can't earn a fraction of their day!
This would have been an explicit class gap.
However, due to the allure of the entertainment industry, it is blinding.
A lot of young leeks don't think that way, what they think is:
My idol is so awesome, he can make so much money in one day! How awesome.
My idol is so good, he makes so much money! Thanks.
Then Mei Zizi used the pocket money given by her parents to buy a box of idol endorsement products...
The misleading and destruction of such values is terrible.
Moreover, it is not a small group of people who are brainwashed, but millions of people, millions of young people.
Before Wu Yifan's accident, Weibo had 50 million fans.
Even though he was arrested on suspicion of rape, there were still many fans who discussed it online, saying that they were going to rob the prison.
It was an age of entertainment to the death, an age of profligacy, and an era of mockery.
While the sickle harvests the leeks, the leeks encourage each other and grow positively, complaining that the sickle is not cutting fast enough.

If the entertainment industry can brainwash hundreds of millions of fans, then it can also manipulate the political economy.
Such cases can be said to abound.
Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan was an actor, and the current president of Ukraine, who is more recent, is also a comedian.
It turns out that if the celebrities are influential enough, they can definitely manipulate politics and economics.
For example, Zhao Wei's good friend: Ma Yun.
After 2010, Alibaba began to grow, and Jack Ma appeared several times on airport and high-speed rail posters and television.
Millions of people listened to his success.
He said: "If the banks don't change, we change the banks."
He said: I am as busy as the president every day, but I don't have the power of the president.
In the history of New China, there is no entrepreneur with such an ability to call the wind and rain, and has the aura of a star.
Under the aura, Ma Yun's ambitions are also getting bigger and bigger.
Over the years, Ali has accumulated huge media assets.
Its holdings include Weibo, Station B, Tiger Sniff network and 36Kr, and even Hong Kong's premier English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post.
After that, Ali's fakes, supervision, data privacy, and data fraud problems have all been well controlled by public relations.
Such media assets pose a serious challenge to the authorities.
Because if you control the media, you can control people's hearts.
Remember the Jiang Fan incident?
Originally it was a hot search event, but under the operation of Ali, the relevant messages were quickly deleted on the whole network.
The use of capital to manipulate public opinion is no different from administrative power.
In 2015, Wu Xiaobo once wrote this sentence:
When private enterprises such as Alibaba grasp the infrastructure of the national economy, their situation will be "step by step".
Five years later, this statement was confirmed.

Today, Ma Yun has not appeared for nearly a year, and Zhao Wei, who once took an intimate group photo, is also silent today.
China's capital circle and entertainment circle are undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Since the "pour milk" incident at the end of April.
The state carried out a three-month "Qinglang Rice Circle Chaos Rectification", accumulatively deleting more than 200,000 posts, banning more than 7,000 accounts, and shutting down and disbanding more than 100 groups.
On August 6, Weibo officially announced the offline "star power list", ending the "traffic era" that Wu Yifan returned to China in 2014.
On the other hand, the anti-monopoly efforts for Internet companies have also been continuously strengthened, fist to flesh.
The list is gone, the fan base is dissolved, young people are beginning to oppose the capitalists, scolding the stars for cutting leeks...
Back in 2005, Zhao Wei served as the ambassador of the first Beijing French Film Festival, Hunan Satellite TV's "Super Girl" opened the fan era, alibaba acquired all the assets of Yahoo China.......
At that time, China was ridiculed by the outside world as "more capitalist than capitalism."
But today, China has the answer: China will not let capital control people's hearts.
