In 1987, Chen Chong, against the scolding of the people of the whole country, returned to China with the foreign team.
It had been exactly two years since she had last returned to China. During this period, Chen Chongren was not in China, but the bloody storm set off by her in China never stopped.
Chen Chong returned to China this time in order to go to the Forbidden City to shoot "The Last Emperor".
Since deciding to return to China, Chen Chong's heart has been secretly holding her breath, and she is bent on turning over with this film!
She is very dedicated when shooting, and she strives for excellence in every shot.
But once during filming, because of the mistakes of the extras, Chen Chong accidentally walked out.
Chen Chongqiang, who has professional qualities, endured shame and continued to act.
The director was very satisfied with this "natural" scene, praised it on the spot, and he thought that this mistake in the performance was simply a stroke of God.
After Chen Chong finished acting, he was reluctant to let the director put this scene into the main film.
When she was filming abroad before, because of the sensitivity of some scenes, she was constantly scolded at home, believing that she had insulted the image of Chinese women.
If she appears in the film again with too "exposed" shots, you can imagine what kind of treatment she will encounter.
Chen Chong, who has just emerged in Hollywood, although she is soft-spoken, she insists that the director give up this shot and write a letter of guarantee for herself!
There was a disagreement between Chen Chong and the director, and Chen Chong was in a hurry, and even said that he wanted to strike!
Fortunately, this international famous director cherished Cai cai, and when he saw that he could not persuade Chen Chong, he could only agree to her.
After the release of the movie, Chen Chong wanted to succeed, this film won nine awards at the Oscars, and Chen Chong also became an internationally renowned actor!
She thought that she had finally kept the clouds open to see the moon, the domestic audience would recognize her, those scoldings would soon disappear, but unfortunately the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind was not stopping, Chen Chong's acting road was always a wave of uneven waves...
01 The big girl of the medical family, accidentally became famous in a war
Chen Chong was born in 1961 in a medical family in Shanghai, and her parents and even grandparents were almost all academic leaders.
Chen Chong grew up under such a family, and at the same time was cultivated by a number of academic leaders, and naturally opened all the way from an early age.
However, she is not the kind of nerd who will only read the script, under the careful teaching of her family, Chen Chong has developed in all directions, and has performed very well in all aspects such as morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and beauty.
The whole family was bent on bringing her into academia and letting her son inherit his father's business. Who expected that Chen Chong would unexpectedly take the path of life a crooked one!
In 1975, the leaders of the studio came to Chen Chong's school to select film actors.
Chen Chong, who is cheerful by nature, also ran to join in the fun and signed up for the interview with his classmates.
When she saw that the contestants in front of her could sing and dance one by one and use eighteen martial arts to show themselves, Chen Chong was a little bottomless in her heart.
She could neither sing nor dance, nor had she learned anything else.
She loves to hold all kinds of books all day long, and the only thing she can do is her fluent English.
So when the interview judges asked her what talent she wanted to show, 14-year-old Chen Chong crisply replied: "I can't sing, I can't dance." ”
She saw that the judges' eyes were full of surprise and she was a little embarrassed, so she continued: "I will recite an English version of "Serving the People" today. ”
In the wonderful song and dance performance, chen Chong recited this poem with a unique style, and her performance method was fresh and vulgar, which unexpectedly attracted the unanimous praise of the judging team!
Chen Chong thus took over the film directed by Xie Jin, and stepped into the film industry at the age of 15, and the response was good.
After filming this movie, Chen Chong temporarily quit the show business circle and concentrated on preparing for the college entrance examination at home.
In 1978, after immersing himself in hard study for a whole year, Chen Chong was successfully admitted to the university and was admitted to his favorite English major.
She fell in love with reading English originals in college, and she originally loved to read, and after going to college, she was immersed in the world of books every day, and she did not hear things outside the window.
The time when she used to shoot movies on set has gradually blurred in her memory.
She thought it was just a short and wonderful experience in her life, that she would no longer be associated with film in the future, and that her parents would love to see her focus on academic research.
Unexpectedly, a director's repeated visits to the door finally made Chen Chong "go crooked" again, and also made her completely bid farewell to the academic road.
02 19 years old red all over the country, become a national small flower
Director Zhang Zheng admired Chen Chong's acting talent very much, and personally visited him several times, hoping to invite Chen Chong to play the heroine of his movie "Little Flower".
In the face of the director's request, Chen Chong's family is determined not to agree, and even Chen Chong himself does not agree.
If this opportunity were to be placed in front of other students, people would certainly agree without hesitation, but is Chen Chong an ordinary person?
As a primary school bully from a school bully family, she has her own unique considerations.
She had to study hard for so long before she was admitted to college, this is just a freshman year, what if she went to filming and affected her studies?
Chen Chong had no intention of stepping into the film industry again, but the director has been persistently inviting her.
There was no way, Chen Chong could only explain the reason to the director, and then directly politely declined the director's kindness.
Knowing that Chen Chong's heart knot was worried about his studies, the director immediately turned to Chen Chong's school leaders and asked them to do ideological work for Chen Chong.
In the end, the kung fu paid off, and the director not only invited Chen Chong out of the mountains to make a movie, but also this movie achieved remarkable results in China!
Chen Chong has become a national "little flower" and a phenomenon-level pop actress!
In those years, almost every household across the country posted her pictorial.
The 19-year-old Chen Chong also won the Hundred Flowers Award for Film Queen with this film.
Just when everyone thought that the youngest film queen in history would be in the show business circle, Chen Chong once again made an unexpected decision!
She's not filming anymore! She's going to quit show business and study abroad!
Worthy of being a bully, the genes in her bones have long been destined to learn in her life!
03 The film queen became a waiter, and she offended the people of the whole country at the Spring Festival Gala
In 1981, Chen Chong unloaded his domestic aura of film and came abroad alone.
Foreigners are unaware of her achievements in China, and she never deliberately promotes her identity as an actress, and she completely transforms herself into an ordinary college student.
During the days when she was studying abroad, Chen Chong thought she should be self-reliant, except for the $200 her mother had left for her at the beginning, she was reluctant to reach out to her family for money.
So, in order to earn living expenses, she worked as a waiter, hourly worker, handing out leaflets, and cleaning toilets for a long time.
Since you do it, do your best, especially when it comes to brushing the toilet.
"I brush the toilet cleaner than anyone else"
"Really, brushed cleaner than a face plate"
"You can even wash your face and cook there."
The reality is harsh, and such an effortless work attitude does not receive sympathy.
The experience of working in a Chinese restaurant, Chen Chong is still reluctant to remember too much after many years.
At that time, her boss was also a Chinese, and the Americans did not know Chen Chong's title as queen of the film, but the Chinese was very aware of her identity.
He didn't know it was to show off his martial prowess and show off that there was a Chinese actress in his restaurant.
Or to ridicule Chen Chong, a Chinese film queen, who actually fell to work in an American hotel.
Every time Chen Chong serves food in the restaurant, the boss will go to the table when he sees it, pull Chen Chong who is leaving, and regardless of her wishes and mood, he will introduce the guests with flying eyebrows.
"Hi guys, this beautiful lady is our youngest actress in China."
Chen Chong was shy and angry, full of desire to quickly escape from this embarrassing place, but the boss's hand kept dragging her, so that she had no place to hide!
Whenever it came to such a time, Chen Chong could only harden his scalp, face the complicated eyes of the crowd in the restaurant, try to maintain the calm on his face, and politely smile at everyone.
After playing in foreign countries for so long, she had long since faded her pride and smoothed out all the edges and corners.
Chen Chong's mentality has long changed, where she is still a big star in the spotlight, she is now just a poor student who works and studies.
Therefore, in 1984, after Chen Chong received an invitation from the director of the Spring Festival Gala, she hesitated for a long time, in fact, she did not want to go back in her heart.
But that year, Chen Chong was in the year of his life, and she heard that people in this year of life had bad luck all year, so Chen Chong went to find a fortune teller and asked him to count a gua for himself, and by the way, she also consulted Mr. Fortune Teller whether he wanted to return to China to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
Mr. Suan gua told Chen Chong, "You should go back." ”
Now that I think about it, this Mr. Fortune Teller must be an academically unskilled charlatan!
Otherwise, how could he not calculate that Chen Chong's return to China this time would definitely cause a bloody storm?
04 A remark ruined the entire Spring Festival Gala, and the director bluntly said that he wanted to commit suicide
Under the fortune teller's "iron tooth divine calculation", Chen Chong returned to China happily.
This is the first time she has returned to China in four years of studying abroad, and she is overjoyed at this time, and she does not know what kind of turmoil she is about to face.
The Spring Festival Gala in 1985 was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Chen Chong, who was sitting in the VIP seat, found the host and said that he wanted to go on stage and say a few words, and the host should be down on the spot.
At this point, the host doesn't know what's going to happen next! If he knew, he probably wouldn't have let Chen Chong take the stage!
After getting the host's consent, Chen Chong stood on the Spring Festival Gala stage facing the national audience and said the following words.
Chen Chong's words caused a big disaster! First of all, she said that she had hired a fortune teller to calculate, saying that she should come back this year to see, and she came back. Isn't this publicly preaching feudal superstitions?
Then she was very distant from the motherland in her tone, which made people feel unhappy, as a native Chinese, how could she separate herself from the motherland and forget her ancestors?
After she said this, the audience in front of the TV set was indignant, and some viewers did not watch the Spring Festival Gala, and directly took out a pen and paper and began to write a complaint letter!
The next day, the news of her inappropriate speech quickly appeared in the morning paper, and the crowd began to attack her.
At the same time, Chen Chong knew that she was in trouble, and she had already boarded the flight back to the United States for the first time.
Coinciding with the frequent mistakes in the Spring Festival Gala program that night, in a short period of time, CCTV received nearly three sacks of complaint letters!
Suddenly, the crowd was full of emotion, and the crusade against the Spring Festival Gala continued to rise, and the Spring Festival Gala director group apologized to the national audience in public at the "News Network".
Afterwards, the director of the Spring Festival Gala that year was suspended for half a year.
Now more than 30 years have passed since the Spring Festival Gala in 1985, and the director has said in interviews many times that he even had the heart to die!
05 The domestic career was suspended, and she climbed another branch
The director's career was affected, and Chen Chong's acting career was hit hard.
In the past, she was a film queen who was deeply loved and loved by the people, and now she has become the object of everyone's shouting and beating in China.
After this battle, Chen Chong lost the entire Chinese market because of his words.
She thinks that people are going to a high place, and since she has lost the Chinese market, she will go to Hollywood, which has more development prospects, to break through!
In 1986, Chen Chong filmed his first hollywood work abroad.
In the movie, the concubine she played starred in many sensitive scenes and knelt down to foreigners!
It is conceivable that after this work spread to the mainland, Chen Chong once again caused a huge controversy!
In 1987, Chen Chong took over the filming of "The Last Emperor", which has since established her position in the film industry.
Because of her superb acting skills and excellent results, the domestic scolding of her gradually subsided, but soon she fell into the scolding war again!
In 1988, Chen Chong publicly declared for the first time that he was already an American citizen!
Because of Chen Chong's "previous crime" at the Spring Festival Gala, the fact that she obtained American citizenship made the attack that had just stopped for a while sweep away again.
In the face of domestic scolding, Chen Chong does not care now, after all, she is the star of the Oscar-winning film!
Chinese audiences don't want her, she's in Hollywood!
06 She has been scolded to this day for sending away her two adopted daughters
In those years, Chen Chong stayed abroad to live and work, she married and divorced, divorced and married.
She has always had a regret when she married again in 1992, she has been married for many years and has not been able to conceive a child.
In 1998, Chen Chongtuo helped him adopt a pair of twins in China.
Things are uncertain, and when Chen Chong was going through the adoption procedures, he accidentally found out that he was pregnant.
Knowing that she was pregnant, she still wanted to adopt the twins, and she said very nicely in the face of the media that she would treat the children equally, but with the birth of her second daughter, the twins gradually disappeared around Chen Chong.
Gradually in The news of Chen Chong's "abandonment" of his adopted daughter came out in China, without inquiry from the media, the agent admitted in disguise that the twins had been sent away, but he called it "transfer"!
The child is not an object, she is a person with flesh and blood, a soul and an independent mind!
How can it be transferred casually?
Chen Chong's side has always stressed that families who adopt children are very wealthy, but can money make up for the shadow of two young children being abandoned twice?
Chen Chong's brainless words on the spring evening could barely be explained as she was too excited to speak without a brain, so she did not choose to speak.
In the hollywood film, although the audience angrily insulted her image of a Chinese woman, she could also be elevated to dedicate herself to the art of film.
Renouncing Chinese identity and becoming a U.S. citizen can also be whitewashed as a freedom of choice.
However, this time "abandonment", no matter how grandiose the explanation is, Chen Chong, who is full of black materials, can no longer wash white this time!
Chen Chong became popular overnight since her debut at the age of 15, and then became the youngest film queen in the world, but then she has been living in the scolding of the national audience, and it is still the same today.
Some people accuse domestic audiences of being too harsh on Chen Chong, but in the final analysis, it is never the audience who ruined her road to acting in China, but herself!
Some people praised her for being sober and free, and it was true that she was free, but for the word "sober", it was really impossible to agree.
Such a detached sobriety is nothing more than a false mask, and after being torn apart, it is actually a delicate egoist inside.
Such a sober, don't stop!
