"He List", once known as the "online red carpet in the entertainment industry", suddenly fell lonely.
A few days ago, He Jiong celebrated his 49th birthday.
Compared with previous years, this year is a bit bleak.
He Jiong has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has a super high popularity and status in the circle.
He has a wide network and many juniors, so his birthday in previous years was spectacular on social media.
In the past 10 years, on the evening of April 27 every year, most of the stars in the entertainment industry will rub their hands, waiting for the moment at zero o'clock to send birthday wishes to He Jiong.
The stars are scrambling, like the stars holding the moon.
The people who sent blessings were basically the new generation of idols, and there were also some top ones.
Thus was born.
The whole circle of people are staring at who has the most heart, whose number of likes, can rank first, who is pinching the point, to send blessings to He Jiong.
A private event such as "birthday" has also spawned into a large-scale online red carpet in the entertainment industry.
Even ten years ago, He Jiong "warned" everyone not to occupy public resources because of their birthdays.
But the stars are so happy with the "He List" ranking that they can't be persuaded at all, from 2011 to 2021, every year.
This gives many people an illusion: the "New Year" in the entertainment industry seems to be on April 28.
However, in 2023, they have changed.
At the data level, compared with the 30 million likes in previous years, 1 million + retweets.
This year's He Jiong's birthday news, there are only 11,000 retweets, and the number of likes is only 220,000.
Not even the "one percent" of the previous one.
At the star level, the three little ones of "TFboys" who were once keen on He Bang are not there, and first-line stars such as Yang Mi, Yang Zi, and Di Li Gerba have all disappeared.
The number one in the coffee position is Naza, Peng Yuchang and Chen Linong.
Although there may be some celebrities, in the form of short messages, privately send blessings.
But the entertainment industry pays attention to a momentum.
The huge gap in this scene still makes people can't help but look sideways.
01、
Once He Jiong, why did his "network kingdom" come from?
Now that we look back, the reason why He Jiong can dominate the entertainment industry is not unrelated to the three characteristics of him.
First, it is excellent professional ability.
Internet meme "Peking University is okay with Sabine", we have all heard of it.
Sabine is a CCTV host who is quite confident in his professional ability, and his ability is also recognized by the audience.
But Sabine himself once said:
"Teacher He is the only imaginary enemy in my career for so many years."
Looking at Xiao Sa's serious expression, he knew that he was not joking.
As a fact, as a host, He Jiong has excellent professional standards.
In the rescue occasions of various hosts, He Jiong alone can account for half of the country.
"Fast Ben" has been 24 years and has almost survived by He Jiong.
In these 24 years, he has not missed a single recording.
Under his management, "Fast Ben" was also built into the ceiling of variety shows of that era.
In those years, it was not "whoever is red is on the fast book", but "who is on the fast book is who is red".
Not to mention the happy family, there are many second- and third-tier little singers, who can also jump to the ranks of first-line stars because of the recording of "Fast Ben".
In this, He Jiong is really hard.
Give opportunities on the stage to allow artists to fully demonstrate their abilities in all aspects, even their character strengths;
Privately, I also help to raise points, meet the right resources, and take the initiative to help recommend.
In the entertainment industry of chasing fame and profit, this kind of sincerity is still very rare.
A typical example is Ma Li, who is happy and twisted.
When Ma Li was not yet famous, He Jiong helped her introduce performance opportunities, and when Ma Li encountered setbacks, she quickly sent encouragement.
When Ma Li won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, she also praised He Jiong for "you are my light".
Therefore, many stars will still be grateful to He Jiong after the fire.
Together, these form the basis of He Jiong's extensive connections.
The second is super high emotional intelligence and empathy ability.
We all know that He Jiong loves to cry, but He Jiong's crying is often a manifestation of strong empathy.
He Jiong is good at considering problems from the perspective of others, always rose with others, and treated others with tenderness.
This is his social weapon.
Whether in reality shows or variety shows, he can always inadvertently think about others, and even block guns for others.
In the first season of "Longing for Life", Wei Daxun was bald and spit on his director under the camera.
He Jiong realized that it was wrong and quickly answered, saying that he was talking about the previous movie "Gardenia Blossom".
This time, he attracted the fire power to himself and blocked the bullet for Wei Daxun.
There are many, many gods like He Jiong.
This allows him to get along with celebrities with ease, and it is easy to accumulate his own resources.
Third, He Jiong has developed a wide range of habitats.
He Jiong is best known as a host.
In fact, he is also a director, actor, writer, singer, university teacher.
In addition to the entertainment industry, He Jiong's circle types are too many to imagine.
In the field of education, he graduated from Beiwai and worked as a teacher in Beiwai.
In the music industry, musician Song Ke said that He Jiong's connections in the music industry surpassed Gao Xiaosong.
In the business world, He Jiong and Jack Ma have a good personal relationship and were invited to serve as the chief content officer of Alibaba Music.
……
In all walks of life, in all fields, there is almost no place where He Jiong's tentacles cannot reach.
And the platform of Hunan Satellite TV has given He Jiong the opportunity to use and develop his own resources.
The resources of the cow people are all interconnected, and He Jiong has become the most well-connected and influential person in the entertainment industry.
In 2015, when he filmed "Gardenia Blossom", He Jiong just moved his lips, and more than 30 artists such as Deng Chao and Yang Mi brushed to promote him, saving tens of millions of dollars in publicity costs alone.
On the first day of release, the film relied on this round of star effect to support a box office of more than 100 million.
"Longing for Life" has a program with a tree planting session.
He Jiong called a few phone calls, and called ten stars to help, and he was not perfunctory when he came.
How many people in the entertainment industry can do this kind of on-call degree?
This also made He Jiong's connections begin to be deified.
There are a lot of concerns that should not have belonged to him, and they are mapped to him.
Xie Na once half-jokingly said to Zhang Zifeng, who was not yet in college: What school do you want to go to, tell Uncle He Jiong that he has connections.
It was such a sentence, but it became a note on many things that happened to He Jiong later.
Because networking, sometimes it's a good thing, and sometimes, it's a burden.
02、
Fame starts with resources, and collapse ends with connections
At the 2021 Wuzhen Drama Festival, He Jiong and a few friends had a drink.
After three rounds of drinking, he suddenly grabbed Zhou Xun next to him and cried.
This cry is not empathy, but these days, he is really not having a good time.
These two years seem to be the year of He Jiong's water reversal.
A succession of negative news and career pressure forced He Jiong into a corner.
However, everything that happened was actually early on.
This still starts with He Jiong's proud "connections".
After graduating from Beiwai, He Jiong stayed on to teach.
Over the years, he has maintained his identity as a teacher, which is also the source of his title "Teacher He".
But this layer of identity buried a big thunder for him.
On May 13, 2015, a Beiwai teacher took the lead in attacking He Jiong, and he reported He Jiong in his real name for "eating empty pay".
Because He Jiong has been in charge for so many years, he has never gone to work in Beiwai, but he occupies the establishment and receives a salary.
Seeing that the topic could not be suppressed, Beiwai took the lead in responding, which was to use He Jiong's identity to contribute to the school.
Later, He Jiong resigned, and this matter was over.
But what He Jiong lost was not only the title of a "teacher", but also his flawless resume and near-perfect personality.
In 2019, Shen Mengchen's unintentional words became He Jiong's nightmare.
In the variety show "The Prince of Lipstick", she mentioned that the gifts she received when dating Du Haitao were all supported by fans, and some even labeled.
At this time, He Jiong opened the chatterbox.
He not only hammered the fact that fans gave gifts, but also picked and chose gifts, with an expression of "it's better not to give something like this".
This hurt fans who like He Jiong.
Then, more videos of He Jiong "complaining" about the gift were picked up.
It's not about spitting on too many e-books;
is to complain that the massage chair is not used;
When the key said this, He Jiong looked as he should be, as if he was "picking" for fans.
This caused public indignation.
As the incident deepened, people found that the happy family represented by He Jiong received countless gifts, and some were even sold on second-hand networks.
Among them, there are many valuable items.
The thermos cup mentioned by How Jiong is a limited edition of PRADA, a thousand pieces a piece.
In addition, three or four thousand Montblanc pens, seven or eight thousand cosmetics, ten thousand pajamas, fifty thousand coats, etc.
There were even fans who gave 35,000 gold bars.
In the support of fans, the happy family is becoming more and more excessive, and sometimes the afternoon tea of the entire program group is contracted by fans.
This is not even counting the part of the embezzlement of the powder in the name of fundraising.
As soon as this incident came out, the happy family was almost spurned by tens of thousands of people.
Even the state media spoke out to condemn the chaos.
He Jiong naturally became the target of everyone.
The general public even began to doubt Ho's values and moral conduct.
On April 7, 2021, He Jiong was on the negative hot search again.
His father He Dao's company, Hunan Peach Blossom Island Development Co., Ltd., became a dishonest executor, operating abnormally for three years, and owed 430,000 yuan.
This is actually what we commonly call "Lao Lai".
He Jiong also became the "son of Lao Lai" overnight.
Later, it was said that He Jiong's father was 79 years old (at that time), and it was unlikely that He Jiong would run the company alone, and it was likely that He Jiong would manage it on his behalf.
And dragging on the arrears of 400,000 yuan for 8 years, this "old lai" style made He Jiong's image plummet.
In October 2021, the biggest blow to He Jiong finally happened.
The radio and television "Operation Qinglang" was carried out.
Because of the gift receiving turmoil, "Happy Camp", which was deeply caught in the vortex of public opinion, was suspended indefinitely.
Since 1997, Kuaiben has accompanied the audience for 24 years and is the youth of many.
But for He Jiong, the "Fast Ben" that he almost single-handedly held up is more like a child.
Over the years, including several members of the Happy Family, Kuaiben has become popular one group after another.
The suspension of "Fast Ben" is naturally a great blow to He Jiong.
It is difficult to say who made whom He Jiong and "Fast Ben".
But losing one side is devastating for the other.
After "Fast Ben" became history, Hunan TV quickly launched "Hello Saturday".
But no one from the happy family was present to host.
Only He Jiong led many newcomers to carry the sedan platform, and it was difficult to support it alone.
After "Fast Ben" was discontinued, the Happy Family also quickly disbanded.
The gathering was earth-shattering, and it scattered quietly.
Du Haitao Shen Mengchen married low-key;
Xie Na is deeply caught in the rumors of "buying a house and jumping orders", which have attracted frequent discussions;
Wu Xin disappeared, and there was little news;
Li Weijia's endorsement overturned and was scolded as an "unethical artist".
Compared to the others, He Jiong's situation seems to be good.
But after experiencing the peak, can you still adapt to life at the foot of the mountain?
As the saying goes, breaking the drum and beating thousands of people, He Jiong's negativity, is not over yet.
Some media exposed that He Jiong held hands with male friends to interact and touch his face, behaved intimately, and was suspected of sexual orientation.
This made the negative of his physical contact with the male guest too obvious in "Longing for Life" mentioned again.
The topic of whether "He Jiong" is gay or not once occupied the top of public opinion.
Subsequently, another director named Liu Xinda reported He Jiong for tax evasion in his real name.
And bluntly said that the evidence he had could "hammer He Jiong to death".
In the face of a succession of attacks, He Jiong did not come forward to explain again, but quietly emptied the social media dynamics, and the visible state was also set to half a year.
When a person is judged by the public, he breathes wrong.
For He Jiong at this time, his feelings about this sentence have never been so strong.
At the Hunan New Year's Eve party, He Jiong burst into tears during the presiding.
But he was still complained by the audience, "Teacher He's tears will come."
In fact, this is because He Jiong's father has just passed away, and he continues to work despite his grief.
But at this time, at this moment, even if He Jiong is still dedicated, the audience may not buy his account.
03、
The cruelty of the entertainment industry has never been so real
Huang Bo once said a sentence that corresponds to the current entertainment industry, which is extremely true.
"When you're famous, you're surrounded by good people."
At that time, Zhang Xiaofei was suppressed everywhere, could not raise his head, and could only match people in "Happy Comedian".
"Hello, Li Huanying" pre-screening promotion, stars nagging and playing mahjong together, only Zhang Xiaofei has no one to deal with.
But since the film was awarded, all the students came to applaud, and the limelight was unique for a while.
Participating in the event has a soft seat, a famous brand, and a hug before and after arriving at the place, and fans are shouting.
Even many years ago, Yuan Shanshan said that Zhang Xiaofei "snoring" such a trivial matter, he also had to issue a state apology, for fear of offending the queen of Xinke Film.
Before Zhang Songwen, he couldn't afford to buy a house after filming for 19 years.
Now a "Crazy" makes him burst out of the circle.
At the Beijing Film Festival, he is just an ordinary award presenter, and he will also be taken into his arms by Chen Kaige to take photos with Zhang Ziyi.
A shot of listening to songs and crying can also be captured and rushed to the top ten of hot searches.
Angelababy, on the other hand.
The former red carpet sister, the queen of C, was deserted and degraded after the divorce.
This is the same as the queen who frequently took the hot drama female one at that time.
Look at He Jiong again, do you understand?
When you are radiant, even if you have not met a few times, I will support you;
But when you're in the middle of a storm, you're afraid to avoid it.
The entertainment industry is Vanity Fair, in essence, everyone is more on the scene, chasing fame and profit.
It is said in "Do You Know" that if it is a hot stove, some people will come to burn it in June.
But the stove is cold, even if it is cold, who cares?
Under the bright spotlight on the surface, there are clusters of icing on the cake everywhere, and people walk the sadness of tea and coldness.
For He Jiong, April 28 is always his birthday.
But for the stars, the "New Year" of their collective "He List" has long been out of this day.
In fact, He Jiong, there is no need to regret.
A generation of new people is better than the old, the times are advancing, now He Jiong is 49 years old, and he will never go back as he gets older.
But there was such a glorious time, and it was all worth it.
