On June 27, Zhao Wei, who had disappeared for more than a year, finally appeared at Beijing Airport in a low-key manner.
Zhao Wei's appearance also shattered speculation that she fled abroad.
However, her appearance brought an important change to the public's attention.
When Zhao Wei walked out of the airport, she was wearing a beige T-shirt and white slacks, looking very casual and energetic.
However, netizens who observed closely found that her image was very different from the glamorous of the past.
Her figure is a little out of shape, her hair is messy, she is dressed plainly, the corners of her eyes are full of wrinkles, and there is even a sense of fatigue in her eyes.
Once the "little swallow" attracted much attention, but now she is bleak.
Zhao Wei's changes are not only changes in appearance, but also inner discomfort.
In the face of the public's onlookers, she seemed a little overwhelmed and seemed to be accustomed to the life of an "amateur".
Once Zhao Wei's scenery is infinite, a Qiong Yao drama "Huan Zhu Gege" made Zhao Wei popular all over the country, and later transformed into a director, and entered the marriage hall with wealthy businessman Huang Youlong, and gave birth to a lovely daughter.
He also became friends with the business tycoon Jack Ma, switched to the mall, and became an entrepreneur.
The flourishing Zhao Wei seems to have become a winner in life, but under her beautiful appearance, she has an unbearable heart.
Her career and reputation took a huge turnaround in 2017.
At that time, Zhao Wei and Huang Youlong's investment encountered major problems, which caused damage to both her career and reputation.
This incident not only brought her a financial blow, but also an impact on her personal image.
However, what really put Zhao Wei in trouble was her own behavior.
Making inappropriate remarks and pro-Japanese insults to China became the reasons why she was criticized and criticized.
These actions not only offended the sensitive nerves of the public, but also damaged the good image and reputation she had previously built.
In August 2021, Zhao Wei was suddenly banned, as if night fell, all traces of her on the Internet disappeared, and all the works she had photographed were ruthlessly erased, as if she had never existed in the online world.
Her former friends in the circle deleted Weibo related to her one after another, which made the once unlimited entertainment industry top disappear overnight.
For this sudden incident, many netizens curiously asked "what happened to Zhao Wei", however, as long as you know a little about some of Zhao Wei's words and deeds, you can find that all this is not for nothing.
It can be said that she deserves her current end.
"Painted skin" Zhao Wei
Zhao Wei, this name for many people, is destined to be closely associated with classic works. "Huan Zhu Gege" and "Deep Rain" are undoubtedly her most well-known works, making her two unforgettable characters in our eyes, Xiaoyanzi and Yiping.
In "Huan Zhu Gege", Zhao Wei's little swallow shows her mischievous but chivalrous side. She conquered the hearts of the audience with her wit, courage and kindness and enthusiasm, and became a goddess in the hearts of countless people.
And in "Deep Rain", she vividly interprets Yiping, a stubborn and brave woman for love, which makes people admire her persistence and bravery.
However, Zhao Wei in real life is very different from these characters.
She pursues monetary gain, and her goal is very clear: everything looks at money.
This has led her to many successes in the business field and become a powerful business woman.
However, it is precisely because she is too utilitarian that she narrowed her star path step by step and fell into the current situation.
Zhao Wei's attitude of pursuing monetary interests made her gradually lose her artistic pursuit and passion for creation.
It was a hit
During her childhood, her parents were not around, and she had to rely on her grandparents.
However, fate is not very kind to her. Grandpa bravely joined the army, but died in battle, leaving young Zhao Wei and grandmother to face the hardships of life alone.
In order to live better, my grandmother got a job at the water plant, so they moved to Wuhu 2nd Street.
Just when Zhao Wei entered her freshman year of high school, she got the opportunity to make her screen debut. That movie was called "Painted Soul".
She played the role of a mass actor in the film, although it was only a small role, but it was an important beginning for Zhao Wei.
She is beautiful and natural, and she has the temperament of an actor, which makes her have a stronger yearning for the entertainment industry.
Zhao Wei, who graduated from Wuhu Normal School, did not choose to be assigned, but decided to continue her studies, and she was admitted to Hengtong Film and Television School.
This school was founded by the famous director Xie Jin, who was the guiding director of "Wrangler", which opened a door for Zhao Wei's path as an actor.
With Xie Jin's guidance and teaching, Zhao Wei's acting skills have been improved, and she was successfully admitted to the undergraduate acting class of the Beijing Film Academy.
However, Zhao Wei's life ushered in a turning point in her sophomore year.
At that time, it happened that Qiong Yao was planning a TV series, but because of the schedule conflict of a character actor, she had to temporarily find a replacement.
So, Qiong Yao came to the Beijing Film Academy, and Zhao Wei also appeared in front of him "in time".
She was attracted by the picturesque eyebrows of Zhao Wei at a glance. Qiong Yao decided to let Zhao Wei replace that role, which was the birth of the legendary classic "Huan Zhu Gege".
At first, Zhao Wei played Xia Ziwei in the play, but for some reasons, she was replaced by the heroine Xiaoyanzi.
This role made her an instant hit and became the focus of attention at the time. Zhao Wei's acting skills and beauty were fully displayed in the play, and her performance deeply touched the hearts of the audience.
The success of "Huan Zhu Gege" has made Zhao Wei's career prosperous, and she has successively starred in many film and television works such as "Deep Love" and won many awards.
Since then, Zhao Wei has begun to shine in the entertainment industry. And the reason why Zhao Wei was able to get the opportunity to perform in "Huan Zhu Gege" was also thanks to her boyfriend at the time.
Clear goals
In the entertainment industry, the love life of stars has always attracted much attention.
However, Zhao Wei admitted in the interview that she would not like her peers, even including Huang Xiaoming.
This makes people curious about her concept of love.
Most of Zhao Wei's favorite objects are the rich second generation and the second generation of officials, which may be her emphasis on family background and social status.
Among them, Ye Maoqing is a typical example.
As the son of Ye Lipei, the founder of Zhongsheng Group, Ye Maoqing's family background is undoubtedly very strong. His net worth is at least more than 10 billion, which is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for Zhao Wei, who pursues wealth and status.
It was Ye Maoqing who found the resources of "Huan Zhu Gege" for Zhao Wei and helped her become a popular star.
At that time, Ye Maoqing was in the process of pursuing Zhao Wei, thinking that if he could win a leading role for her, he would definitely be able to make her popular and please his beloved woman.
Of course, Zhao Wei will not give up such a good opportunity, at the beginning she fancy "Ziwei", but her external conditions are more suitable for playing another role Xiaoyanzi in the teacher's opinion.
Zhao Wei cleverly followed the teacher's advice and eventually succeeded in becoming the actor of Xiaoyanzi. This relationship smoothly brought Zhao Wei to the peak of her career.
Subsequently, the relationship between Zhao Wei and Ye Maoqing began to heat up further, and the picture of the two traveling together was also photographed by gossip reporters.
However, Zhao Wei did not hide that Ye Maoqing was her boyfriend, but generously announced her relationship.
The relationship lasted for almost four years, during which the two even met their parents, seemingly happy. However, in the end, their relationship ended in a breakup.
After that, Zhao Wei and Wang Yu walked together.
Who is Wang Yu? Wang Yu is one of the four young people in the capital, and he had a sensational love affair with Zhao Wei.
In 2001, Zhao Wei caused the "military flag uniform" incident because a group of magazine cover photos wore clothes printed with Japanese military flags. And the Japanese military flag worn by Zhao Wei is a wartime military flag.
This incident aroused the anger of the national audience, denigrating Zhao Wei as a traitor.
In fact, Japanese militarism has caused many injuries to Chinese people, so Zhao Wei's behavior deeply stung every patriotic Chinese.
Zhao Wei's studio issued an apology after the incident, but put the blame on the magazine organizers and costume designers.
They claim that the magazine passed the state publication review, so it is impossible for the military flag to pass the review.
However, such an explanation is only a strong rhetoric. American designers don't understand Chinese and Japanese history, shouldn't Zhao Wei understand as a Chinese?
Although Zhao Wei has the responsibility to fulfill the contract, as a Chinese, she also has the obligation to safeguard the national dignity of the country.
On this issue related to national righteousness, Zhao Wei can completely refuse to shoot.
But why didn't she do it? Zhao Wei's apology statement did not explain.
At this time, Wang Yu stood up and used his connections to solve the matter of "military flag uniform".
Later, with the help of Wang Yu, Zhao Wei's career flourished, she won numerous awards at major film festivals, and soon became a domestic first-line star.
However, soon after, Zhao Wei, who had a great reputation, refused to cooperate with Wang Yu to participate in the party, and as a result, he slapped him and lost his favor.
These people are not Zhao Wei's ultimate goal, so it doesn't matter if they don't end up.
For Zhao Wei, these people are just stepping stones on her road to success and a springboard to success.
Zhao Wei pursues more than money, because there are many rich people, but it is the most important thing to make money money.
Although the rich second generation has wealth, it will be spent one day, and what Zhao Wei needs is a partner, someone who needs to work side by side with her and make progress together.
Couple cashing out scam
Zhao Wei, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, has always been dissatisfied with her development in this industry. Eager to challenge the wider field, she decided to reach out to the business world.
It was behind this decision that she met someone who changed her destiny, Huang Youlong.
Huang Youlong, a divorced business person with a son, and Zhao Wei's encounter with Zhao Wei is not destined to be a coincidence.
Zhao Wei saw the shining point in Huang Youlong, a man who brought his business wisdom and resources to help her achieve her bigger dreams.
So, they worked closely together, and even Zhao Wei and Huang Youlong eventually became husband and wife.
With the help of Huang Youlong, Zhao Wei took the first step of directing.
Her film "To Our Dying Youth" became her directorial debut, telling the love story of several college students who were young in college.
The film not only received wide acclaim, but also achieved good box office results in the Chinese mainland film market.
Zhao Wei's directing talent began to be recognized, and she had her own company.
The rise of Zhao Wei and Huang Youlong in the business world has attracted widespread attention.
In their circles, they are either real estate predators or financial giants. One of the most notable mutual friends is Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, who is affectionately known as "Ma Daddy."
Jack Ma and Zhao Wei often travel together on various occasions, and the intimate attitude and close relationship of the three in the group photo make people imagine the business cooperation and resource sharing between them.
However, life is not always smooth sailing. Zhao Wei's greed and desire gradually expanded, making her begin to pursue money by any means. She was no longer satisfied with just filming and directing, and began to enter the financial industry.
Together with Huang Youlong, she interacted with real estate tycoons and financial magnates, not only to expand her wealth, but also to master the ultimate wealth code.
However, the greedy Zhao Wei did not realize that her greed would push her to the abyss.
In 2015, they pushed Ali Pictures' stock price to a peak through precise operations. This move allowed the duo's stock share to increase rapidly, and they easily earned a huge return of up to 4.4 billion.
However, this does not seem to be enough to satisfy the greed of Zhao Wei and his wife. In just one month, they cashed out another HK$1 billion by reducing their stake.
The news quickly spread in circles, causing the envy and follow-up of many investors. People are following in Zhao Wei's footsteps, hoping to earn rich wealth like them.
The seemingly smooth sailing Zhao Wei and his wife are not satisfied with profiteering stock trading. They founded Longwei Culture in 2016, a company that appears to be a formal business but is actually a tool for their wealth.
The plan seems perfect, however, there are no impermeable walls. The Securities Regulatory Commission quickly recognized the ugly behavior of Zhao Wei and his wife.
Their operations were revealed, which eventually led to Zhao Wei's imprisonment to enter the securities market and limit their greedy steps.
The behavior of Zhao Wei and his wife has attracted widespread attention and condemnation. Although they once made a lot of money, it all came at the cost of shattering their families.
Many investors were deceived by their operations and ended up paying a heavy price.
Pro-Japanese behavior continues
Her death was much more than that, and everything in the past did not make her retreat, but more daring.
Zhao Wei brazenly included pro-Japanese artists under his banner and took photos with the "Yasukuni Shrine" many times, which is undoubtedly shocking.
Her subsidiary, Zhang Zhehan, has repeatedly traveled to Japan's Yasukuni Shrine to take photos, but he has chosen to remain silent in the face of controversy, as if he did not care about the development of events.
This irresponsible attitude undoubtedly casts doubt on his character.
Until the pressure of public opinion could not be ignored, he was forced to choose to scribble an apology.
However, how can such a hasty apology calm the anger in the hearts of netizens?
Zhang Zhehan was inevitably criticized by the People's Daily, and in the end he could only reluctantly choose to withdraw from the circle.
Looking back on 2016, director Zhao Wei's work "No Other Love" caused great controversy due to actor issues.
Netizens strongly boycotted the participation of Dai Liren and Japanese actor Kiko Mizuhara, believing that there was a political position behind the two actors that could not be ignored.
However, as a director, Zhao Wei did not stand up for the first time to respond to the doubts of netizens, but posted photos with Dai Liren on social platforms many times, which seemed to send a signal of protest to the outside world.
This behavior undoubtedly further angered netizens, who firmly believed that film creation cannot lose national dignity and bottom line.
What is even more puzzling is that Zhao Wei not only stood on Dai Liren's side, but also came forward to speak for him many times, and even used capital power to help delete negative information about Dai Liren. This behavior not only caused the anger of netizens, but also made people jealous.
Some people have said, is Zhao Wei an undercover agent sent by a foreign country to try to disrupt the order of our country? Such speculation is not surprising, because this is not the first time that Zhao Wei has fallen into a pro-Japanese storm.
And as a person with a red background, such behavior is even more unacceptable.
Repeatedly challenge people's patience.
It was self-inflicted to end up like this.
