I believe that in the past few days, everyone has been brushed by the Li Yundi incident.
First of all, the careful melon-eating masses found that In the "Mango Post-Production of Thorns" and "Brother of Thorns" broadcast on the same day, Li Yundi was missing.
The only half of the face was also marked with mosaics.
As if to calm the boiling controversy, at noon, Li Yundi released a Weibo post to let everyone watch the program and show that he was still okay.
But you can be punched in the face right away.
At 9 p.m., @Ping An Beijing Weibo posted a photo of the black and white piano keys with obvious meaning to warm up.
After public opinion intensified, the official briefing was issued.
It is said that this is not the first time he has been caught for prostitution.
This is another big earthquake in the entertainment industry after Wu Signing.
Because people can't associate a dancing boy in a tuxedo and playing an elegant piano with a dirty and dirty prostitute.
01
Li Yundi, at the age of eighteen, won the Chopin Piano Competition, and this championship had been vacant for fifteen years before him.
He is not only the youngest Gold Medalist of the Chopin Race, but also the youngest judge in the history of the Chopin Race.
He is a world-class piano prodigy and the pride of the country.
Especially in recent years, after Li Yundi entered the entertainment industry, he frequently appeared in various entertainment programs, especially in the recent fire of "Phi Ge", all of which showed such courtesy, modesty and high emotional intelligence, as well as good clothing taste and appearance.
Li Yundi is simply a typical example of the modern "wounded Zhongyong".
In fact, his unseemly did not start today.
As early as 2012, Li Yundi's low-level mistakes at the concert surprised professional music critics.
"Whether it is from the phrase, breathing, or the running of the fingers, control, accuracy, none of them are qualified."
In 2013, Li Yundi made a mistake while playing "Wild Bee Flying" in the gongti, and fans on the scene said: "About 20% of the notes are not played, and they are confused." ”
Zhou Guangren, a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, was once the teacher of Li Yundi's teacher Dan Zhaoyi, and he was regarded as his teacher.
However, Professor Zhou Guangren once said in an interview with the media, "As far as Beethoven's 'Pathos' that I taught him, he played so much that I couldn't sit still below, so bad. ”
The biggest rollover occurred at the 2015 South Korean show.
Li Yundi not only suddenly "interrupted the performance with a confused memory" during the performance, but also was pointed out that "he went directly backstage after the mistake, did not respect the audience, and passed the responsibility to the conductor" and so on.
This move caused strong dissatisfaction among Korean music fans, and it is said that some viewers demanded a refund on the spot.
Later, Li Yundi made a hasty apology statement and confused the matter.
Also, being abandoned by the classical piano industry, what does it matter, the door of the entertainment industry has been opened long ago.
In order to be a groomsman in the wedding of his good brother Huang Xiaoming, he even took the jury job of chopin's piano competition.
What's even worse is that Li Yundi has even been photographed urinating on the street.
And this is just a clip of him driving a luxury car to park in the middle of the girl.
Many periods of scandal ended without success, and were scolded by the star Peng Dan diss, and were scolded by the suspected ex-wife for spending energy on picking flowers and provoking grass, which is not as good as the hype of Hongdi CP.
The work of art, if you don't practice it for one day, you know it yourself; if you don't practice it for three days, the audience knows it.

At this point, I have no intention of talking about whether it is reasonable for a single man with no wife and no girlfriend to address his physical needs in this way.
We lament the fall of genius, but more importantly, see the lessons and revelations behind every negative event.
I believe that when Li Yundi won the Chopin Championship, he was indeed a clean teenager with stars shining in his eyes.
But in the honors, flowers and applause he received for his early fame, especially after entering the entertainment industry, he was a drunken fan and a sound dog and horse, which made him completely lose himself.
There is a very interesting detail in "The Thorny Brother", when everyone gathers, Li Yundi is very keen to play the game console brought by one of the brothers, and even when everyone goes to sing, only he is still playing non-stop.
Later, in an interview, Li Yundi admitted that when he was young, he often ran to the game hall, but he was always pulled home by his grandfather to practice the piano. So as an adult, constantly playing the game console is a very happy thing for him.
Many times, the repressed nature from childhood will be returned tenfold and a hundredfold when it grows up in an uncontrolled environment.
Whether it is a desire for games or sexual desire, it is just a reflection of the unsatisfied heart in the early years.
No wonder, hard practice is not so, into the entertainment industry do not have to polish the work like singers, actors, just easily participate in a variety show, play a piano, you can get hundreds of times thousands of times the income, who would not want it?
There is no special love for the piano, but he is forced to practice hard from childhood, only to get ahead of his family's hopes, suppress his nature and desires, plus he does not have a firm belief and values, and it is simply normal to let himself grow wildly after he has achieved fame.

Recently, there was another news that made me feel like I saw a Western version of Li Yundi.
Not long ago, a jaw-dropping video broke out on the Internet.
In the video, former Hollywood star Nicolas Cage appears naked in a bar.
On that day, Cage got very drunk, quarreled in the bar, and got into an argument with a staff member.
The bar staff thought he was a homeless drunk and threw him out of the bar.
How did the former Oscar emperor fall to this point?
He was originally born into an artistic family. Grandpa is the oscar and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Music; his father is the dean of the San Francisco Academy of Arts, his mother is a dancer; and his uncle is the famous director Siscopola, who directed "The Godfather" and won 6 Oscars.
At that time, Nicolas Cage, in order not to live under the aura of the family, changed his surname from "Coppola" to "Cage" before his debut, determined to work hard.
In the beginning, he ran dragon sets in various crews to learn from experience.
How hard did Cage shoot at that time?
During the filming of Birdman, he pulled out two teeth and experienced the role by wrapping bandages all day long.
Later, the teeth spoke of an infection, and he almost died...
In 1989, Cage filmed "Vampire's Kiss", and in order to make the film scene more realistic, he even swallowed a living cockroach in front of the camera!
It is said that at that time, some crew members saw this scene and couldn't help but spit it out.
During the filming of "Leaving Las Vegas", Cage, who does not drink alcohol, in order to create a good role in the film, used a variety of high alcohol to drunk himself during filming, and strived to perform a realistic drunken state.
Not crazy, not alive.
Later, it was this movie that made him win the first little golden man in his life.
At the time, he was only 31 years old, the second youngest movie star in Oscar history.
Later, he took over many Hollywood commercial blockbusters, and in the golden period of his career, he was worth as much as $150 million, and he was the absolute darling of Hollywood, comparable to Leonardo's world-class male god.
But no one expected that it would not be long before Nicolas Cage began to fall.
Because it was too easy to make money, he began to invest wildly and splurge wildly.
According to incomplete statistics, he has bought at least 15 mansions around the world, each of which is worth a lot, even including a desert island worth $7 million.
He has bought 22 private cars, as well as various yachts, planes...
If the house and the car are still in the normal consumption range, many of the things he bought later are incredible - "pure money burned".
For example, two $210,000 albino king cobras and a $1.6 million first-edition superman comic.
In 2006, for example, he bought a world-famous haunted house, "The LaLaurie House," for $3.45 million.
There have been many homicides in this house, and it is said that because of the heavy resentment, there are often haunted incidents, and it is listed as the first most terrifying murder house in the United States.
In 2007, Cage also snapped up a 67 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus skull for $276,000.
It didn't take long for the Homeland Security Agency to find him and inform him that the skull was smuggled.
In desperation, he had to return the dinosaur skull, and $276,000 was lost.
The skull was gone, and he bought four Pygmy dwarf skulls to make up for it.
The skull is an ancient trophy flowing from the tribes of the Amazon rainforest and costs as much as $70,000 per unit.
After frantically "buying, buying, buying," Nicolas Cage soon discovered that he didn't have enough money to spend.
The confusion of marriage and divorce (four marriages) has also caused his assets to shrink.
Coupled with the occurrence of the US subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, he failed to invest and fell into debt.
In order to pay off the debt, Cage began to desperately shoot scenes. There is no longer the initial reverence for the movie, as long as enough money is given, and even the shoddy film is on the board.
From 2009 to the present, Nicolas Cage has made at least 15 "low-quality films", douban scores from 3.0-3.7, once a generation of movie emperors, thus reduced to the "king of bad films" complained by thousands of people.
Whether it is Li Yundi or Nicolas Cage, piano or film have become a fast-moving business for them, a tool that constantly pays for their desires.
But whether it is a star or an ordinary person, you must have the right values, have a basic reverence for your life and career, abide by the bottom line in your heart, restrain endless desires, and be responsible for yourself.
Because only in this way can we go longer and go further.
