Yesterday I saw the story of "The Donkey Who Was Wrongly Killed", I don't know why, this poor donkey always makes me think of Zhou Jie, the blackened Zhou Jie.
From "tongue kiss" Lin Xinru, to bullying Su Youpeng, to hit-and-run, and finally to the farmer. Few artists have been as active as him, not only on entertainment channels, but also on social channels and legal channels.
As time flies, the wind of time gradually blows away the fog of history, and when the truth gradually becomes clear, the world cannot help but sigh: Zhou Jie has really been wronged over the years.
01 and the contradiction of the Huanzhu crew first appeared
Zhou Jie is a native of Shaanxi, and Shaanxi people are notoriously Geng Zhi.
The officials who dared to confront Helong back then were not Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan, but Wang Jie, the champion of Shaanxi, and his Geng Zhi made Hejun repeatedly deflated, and he contributed a lot to the matter of overthrowing Helong.
Zhou Jie is also a straightforward person, but the difference is that his Geng straightness has brought him notoriety.
When he was young, Zhou Jie's dream was to be an announcer, but unfortunately he missed the Communication University of China and was accidentally admitted to the acting department of the play.
Although he can't say how much he loves acting, Zhou Jie takes learning very seriously.
After graduation, because of his excellent grades, he was assigned to the Central Experimental Theater.
Zhou Jie is also serious about dramas, many actors wear civilian clothes in their costumes, only his costumes are wearing suits, which he said is a kind of respect for the audience.
Although Zhou Jie performed remarkably in dramas, at that time, the income of drama actors was too low, and many people had to deign to "make some extra money" in film and television dramas in order to make a living, and the cash-strapped Zhou Jie was no exception.
Just debuted, he cooperated with big stars such as Maggie Cheung and Leung Ka Fai, which can be regarded as the peak of his debut.
But after the peak, there was a long silence.
Because Geng Zhi believes that acting is art, he is unwilling to bend his waist for those bad scripts and bad roles.
Until later, Zhou Jie received Qiong Yao's script, and it was this "Huan Zhu Gege" that brought Zhou Jie to the peak, and also pushed him to the abyss of public opinion.
Zhou Jie brought his Geng Zhi to the crew, and when filming the horseback scene, Zhou Jie personally went into battle and fell off the horse on the first day, but fortunately there was no big problem.
But Zhou Jie insisted on not using a stand-in, and unexpectedly, only two days later, he fell off his horse again, this time, he was seriously injured and sent back to Beijing for treatment.
Zhou Jie's straightness is also reflected in chewing words.
For example, "nest heart" in the script means "warm heart" in Taiwanese dialect, but it means "holding back" in the eyes of northerners.
Regarding the word "nest heart", Zhou Jie specifically called Qiong Yao to communicate, and finally Qiong Yao agreed to use "happy" instead of "wo xin".
Unexpectedly, the director did not agree to it, because he felt that it was not necessary, and the two had a very unpleasant fight.
This incident is just the tip of the iceberg between him and the "contradictions" in the play, although it turns out that these "contradictions" are "fictional" later, but it indirectly ruined Zhou Jie's star path.
02The true face of the drama bully
In 2004, Lin Xinru was red and purple, and on the program "Kangxi is Coming", she was inevitably questioned by the gossipy Xiao S.
Xiao S asked:
"Have you ever filmed sticking your tongue?"
"No, my mouth is tightly closed."
Small S begins to induce:
"Has anyone pushed your mouth and stuck their tongue out?"
"Just one, Erkan."
After the end of this show, Zhou Jie quickly became the target of everyone, and he was also labeled as a "showbiz hooligans".
No one cared about Lin Xinru's sentence: "People may be too engaged", and the relaxed and happy expression on her face.
Because a "literary hooligan" is obviously more topical than a dedicated actor.
Later, Chen Zhipeng said in the show that when filming a certain drama, some actors not only snatched the scene, but also bullied Su Youpeng.
As soon as these words came out, everyone quickly pointed the finger at the "bad" Zhou Jie.
This matter is actually unlikely after a little thought, when filming "Huan Zhu Gege", Zhou Jie was an unknown mainland actor, and Su Youpeng had already become popular all over Southeast Asia.
Plus from producer to director, to actor, many people are Su Youpeng's Taiwanese hometowns, a small mainland actor bullying a big Taiwanese star among a bunch of Taiwanese? Is this possible?
And Zhou Jie's statement that he played a big name in the crew of "Huan Zhu Gege" is even more nonsense, which actor is not bigger than his wrist? What does he have to play? Did Guan Gong play with a big knife in front of him?
The fact at that time was that when propaganda was carried out in Taiwan, Zhou Jie had to fly back to the mainland for his girlfriend, and there was no Zhou Jie in the publicity activities, and the saying of "playing big names" appeared.
If Zhou Jie is really the "Demon King of the Mixed World" in the drama "Huan Zhu Gege", then why was he not kicked out of the crew, but he was featured in all three films?
Speaking of which, what really made Zhou Jie popular was the "Young Bao Qingtian", and this drama has also become the hardest hit area of Zhou Jie's plummeting reputation.
03From bullying actresses to beating people
After the sequel to "Young Bao Qingtian" was replaced by Lu Yi, the total "crime" about Zhou Jie was also spread.
Some media broke the news that Zhou Jie deliberately embarrassed Li Bingbing on the set, letting Li Bingbing soak in water for a long time. In this regard, Zhou Jie remained silent as always, but Li Bingbing couldn't stand it and personally clarified for his friend.
Some people also say that the reason why the protagonist was changed to Lu Yi was because Zhou Jie played a big name on the set and was banned by Chen Daoming.
Chen Daoming responded domineeringly: If I had that ability, I would first ban the nonsense person.
As we said earlier, Zhou Jie is a very demanding person for the script, and he quit "Young Bao Qingtian 2" precisely because of the problem of the script.
After the first part was broadcast, some people questioned that some of the bridges were suspected of plagiarism, and the script of the second part had heavier traces of plagiarism, so Zhou Jie walked out.
Sure enough, after the second part was broadcast, many viewers reported that there were many acquaintances in this drama, such as: Conan, Keigo Higashino and so on.
For these negative news, Zhou Jie chose to be silent, because he believes that the truth will one day emerge.
But what he didn't know was that before the truth came was "Today's Statement".
In 2009, Zhou Jie drove a Mercedes-Benz car into a taxi on the road, and car accidents are not uncommon in daily life, but because the driver is a star, there are many onlookers.
While everyone was watching, Zhou Jie took a taxi and left. So afterwards, there was a saying that Zhou Jie fled by car, and the name "Zhou Run Run" also came from.
Although Zhou Jie needed to bear part of the responsibility in the car accident, he did not hit and run, and only after the fire truck, ambulance, and police car arrived successively, Zhou Jie left when he was allowed.
And there is evidence that he did not drink and drive at the time, and he also actively did the aftermath after the accident and obtained the understanding of the injured.
This incident has also become a typical case of "Today's Statement", and sadly, even after the broadcast of "Today's Statement", the scolding about Zhou Jie is still endless.
There were even people who turned over the "old accounts" of Zhou Jie's beating.
On April 2, 2008, some media broke the news that Zhou Jie beat the security guard and put a screenshot of the video, and Zhou Jie naturally became a "bad artist" again. ”
But many discerning people still see the strangeness: if the security guard is really being beaten, then why are his colleagues indifferent?
For this matter, Zhou Jie also made a rare response: "Since there is a surveillance video, why not put the whole video?" Just put screenshots? ”
Later, the matter was closed, but Zhou Jie beat people's pots, but no one helped him remove them.
Zhou Jie has faded out of the entertainment industry for a long time, in addition to the impact of these "negative news", some people say that it is because Zhou Jie is not well liked in the circle, is this really the case?
04 Zhou Jie in the eyes of peers
For Zhou Jie's personality, the words that appear most frequently in the mouths of many actors who have worked with him in the circle are: dedication, righteousness, kindness, and straightforwardness.
People with such qualities, will the popularity be bad?
Then let's listen to what Tian Qinxin, president of the National Theatre of China, said, Zhou Jie as an actor of the National Theatre, Tian Qinxin must know more about him than other people in the industry.
Some people asked: Zhou Jie has so much negative news, why do you still use him?
Tian Qinxin smiled and replied: Why? Because he certainly didn't do it.
This is not to protect the calf, but Tian Qinxin's real experience of Zhou Jie.
When rehearsing the play, Zhou Jie came to the rehearsal hall early every day, and when the actors came one after another, Zhou Jie had memorized the lines for a long time.
For this kind of thing, the colleagues around have long been accustomed to it: whoever is late in our crew, he is not late.
When rehearsing a new play, the first time in the play, the other actors still rely on the script in hand, and Zhou Jie has long been familiar with the lines.
Who wouldn't love such a dedicated actor?
Although there is almost no such person in the film and television industry, Zhou Jie is still favored on the stage of the drama, after all, professional ability and attitude are there.
It may be possible to see Zhou Jie's name on the list of first-level actors one day, after all, he was a second-level actor more than ten years ago.
In the early years, some people said that Zhou Jie: There is no drama to act, and he has long been poor.
Zhou Jie's response to this is: Do you think that I have a loss for me if I don't act? I don't act is a loss of drama.
Although this sentence is a little arrogant, but carefully tasted, it seems that this is really the truth, after all, in this era, there are too few actors who act more realistically.
Now Zhou Jie no longer needs to use acting to "supplement the family", and he has long become an invisible rich man.
Not to mention his cultural company and catering company, as well as wineries and antiques, but the 1,000-acre farm estate is out of reach for countless people.
Epilogue:
Zhou Jie is really a good actor, but also a pity actor.
He and Zhang Jingchu made the same mistake, that is, they were in the muddy waters of the entertainment industry, but they believed that the Qing was self-cleansing.
