Recently, an article about Jet Li and four other national first-class actors changing their nationality and moving abroad caused an uproar.
These actors are the highest honorary recognition given by the mainland to the entertainment industry, and they have made great contributions to the mainland's literary and artistic cause.
Instead, they chose to earn money from the Chinese market and then move their assets overseas and seek new identities.
One of them is kung fu star Jet Li, born in an ordinary family in Beijing.
Since her mother raised five children and the elderly alone, she was discovered by coach Wu Bin at the age of 8 because of her physical strength and began to learn martial arts.
Not only talented, but also quickly grasped the essence of martial arts, and after winning awards in national competitions, he gradually became a highly valued and much-watched "invincible hand in the world".
As his popularity rose and the government took him seriously, the government often toured China elsewhere, alarming U.S. President Nixon and inviting him to be his bodyguard.
But it was obviously disappointing that in the face of Nixon's invitation, Jet Li resolutely refused.
He has always maintained his love for his country.
After entering the entertainment industry in the 80s of last century, he became a famous kung fu superstar by starring in kung fu films such as "Shaolin Temple".
In 1988, he moved to the United States with his wife, where he opened a martial arts hall and obtained American citizenship.
Still, during this time, he often returned to China to work on filmmaking without the audience even noticing his changing identity.
However, in 2006, because of the "foreign-related case" and the conflict with the Huo Yuanjia family, the public was concerned and questioned about Jet Li's change of nationality.
It can be seen that many fans cannot accept this fact.
After that, although both applications for Chinese citizenship were rejected and tried to travel to Singapore to obtain naturalization, but encountered obstacles, finally completed the investment immigration and successfully joined the Singapore queue. Compared to the unilateral tax requirements of up to 40%, while also spending one-sixth of it on pension and commission expenses. It can be said that if you earn 10 million, only four million can stay in the end, less than half.
In Singapore, the top tax rate is 22% and tax exemption is implemented.
At the same time, since the Jet Li film market is mainly concentrated in China and Hollywood, overseas income can enjoy preferential rebates from the country's policies and further reduce the cost of investment immigration.
Therefore, it can be seen that the money spent on changing Singapore citizenship is relatively negligible, and it may only take two or three films to earn back.
Although Jet Li is of Poe nationality, he has a deep affection for China.
Despite repeated rejections for Chinese citizenship, he made it clear that he was willing to donate all his assets if he could return to the motherland.
It is a pity that many domestic fans still have not forgiven him.
Similarly, Gong Li also chose Singaporean nationality, although she was once a "conspiracy girl" and the goddess of countless people's dreams.
Gong Li was born in Shenyang and Liaoning Province in 1965 and has loved singing and dancing since she was a child.
She hopes to be admitted to an art school and constantly strives to prepare for the college entrance examination; Although he did not achieve good results in the first college entrance examination, he performed well in the second time, but he was still 11 points short of entering the threshold of the Central Academy of Drama (referred to as Chinese opera).
Due to the success of the first directing of the disc "Red Sorghum", Zhang Yimou noticed Gong Li and invited him to play the role of the male protagonist Jiu'er; With his outstanding acting skills, "Red Sorghum" won the Best Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Two Best Film Awards, and was well-known at home and abroad on the big screen.
After that, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou collaborated on many films, with fruitful results; The relationship between the two also gradually warmed up, and eventually fell in love.
However, a few years later, the relationship broke up and caused them to break up.
At that time, Gong Li was full of grace and charm, and was highly sought after inside and outside the circle.
Among them, Wong Hexiang, president of British American Tobacco Asia Pacific, is one of her admirers.
The two have known each other for a long time and gradually got closer to each other after breaking up with Zhang Yimou; Huang Hexiang is a successful entrepreneur, while Gong Li is a beautiful star, and they quickly intersect.
Less than a year after leaving Zhang Yimou in 1996, Gong Li hid into the ranks of old Chinese businessmen — she married Singaporean-Chinese Wong Ho Cheung.
Since most of the business activities are carried out in Singapore, she will move there with her husband and be able to better develop her career with her husband's support. To this end, Kishi Qi applied for and obtained Singapore citizenship. At this time, there was such a man to help, which made Kishi Qi achieve great success both in China and Hollywood, becoming a world-class Chinese actor.
Unfortunately, however, Kishi and Huang Hexiang's marriage did not last long. They parted ways in 2009.
Nowadays, at that time, China's management policies for foreign actors were becoming more and more strict, and even well-known people like Jet Li were turned away; And what about Kishi Qi? She could hardly return to China.
The 54-year-old Kishi Qi still has the charm and continues to pursue love.
She married Jean-Michel Jarre, a 71-year-old French electronic musician, and enjoyed the rest of her life together.
"Huan Zhu Gege" is still widely praised and regarded as a classic as an important character in the childhood of a generation; Zhang Tielin, who played the role of the emperor in the film, also became popular in the film industry and became a representative of the "professional emperor".
Born in Tangshan City, Hebei Province in 1957, Zhang Tielin has had a strong interest in acting since he was a child, and it is quite difficult to embark on the road of art in an ordinary family.
After the college entrance examination resumed, he applied for the film and television performance major and was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.
He worked hard to prepare for the college entrance examination and was finally admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with excellent results.
In the systematic study, his performance level improved rapidly, and he participated in the CCTV work "There is a Youth" in his sophomore year and performed well.
After graduation, Zhang Tielin starred in many excellent works such as "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics".
However, despite this, he never attracted much attention and also realized that his acting skills still needed to be improved.
Therefore, in 1987, he decided to move to the United Kingdom to pursue development opportunities and enter the Royal Film Academy for further study.
After graduating, he met a British woman while teaching at the school, and soon after marriage, he welcomed his lovely daughter Zhang Yueliang.
In order to give her children a better development environment, Zhang Tielin chose to let her have British nationality and joined the nationality in 1997.
Although his family lives in the UK and has local identity documents, Zhang Tielin returned to China to work on filming.
"Huan Zhu Gege" was a joyful opportunity to accept the role of "Huang Amma" when it began to become popular in 1998.
Since then, he has frequently played the role of emperor in many works, and further enhanced his popularity with the success of "Huan Zhu Gege 2", becoming a high-profile old drama bone.
In 2001, Zhang Tielin, Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang formed the "Iron Triangle" and co-starred in a series of costume TV series.
In these plays, Zhang Tielin almost always plays the role of the Yellow Emperor, so he is known as the "emperor professional".
However, in stark contrast to his career success, he and his wife grew apart.
As he focused on his work, he neglected his wife and ended up on the brink of divorce.
Although he has stayed in China to develop his career since he participated in "Huan Zhu Gege", and caused controversy over the issue of Chinese nationality. However, it was ridiculous to participate in various variety shows as a foreigner and hype his patriotism after leaving the UK.
After all, in China, how can you better promote local culture as a foreigner? Few young people know the name Sichenkova today, but in the eighties of the last century, she was a high-profile movie star.
Born in 1949 as a native of Inner Mongolia, Siqingova has a military background and was selected to join the Inner Mongolia Song and Dance Troupe at the age of 16 to start her acting career.
He joined the People's Liberation Army in 1980 and worked at Bayi Studio.
Two years later, she successfully starred in the role of the tiger girl in the movie "Camel Xiangzi", and left a deep impression in the audience's hearts with her smart acting talent.
After that, Siqingova also starred in many classic works "Like Water Flowing Year", "Moon Child" and so on.
In 2001, he starred in the return to the screen, participating in the TV series "The Gate of the Mansion" and the role of Dynasty to create a sensation.
Therefore, it has become a well-deserved old drama bone.
However, despite the great success in his career, the emotional aspect was not ideal.
Early on while working in Inner Mongolia, Siqingova married a director and soon entered the marriage hall, and they had children.
Schenkova had previously married once and had children, but divorced soon after.
She left Inner Mongolia with her daughter to develop elsewhere.
After divorcing the director the following year, Siqingova and actor Ao Xingchen married a new marriage.
However, with the rapid development of King Siqingao's career, the gap between the two gradually became no longer matched, and they could no longer continue to live happily.
In the end, Ao Xingchen could not withstand this pressure and took the initiative to break up with Siqin Gao King.
Next, Siqin Gaowei officially met Chen Liangsheng, a wealthy Swiss Chinese businessman, and gradually established a deep emotional relationship with him, and finally the two entered the level of becoming husbands and fathers. Mr. Chen grew up at the age of 17 and is very considerate and takes care of others. However, when she joined Zheng Hua, a Chinese citizen with an ID card, she had to hide the unexpected affair, saying that the more the big wrong reaction affected the Chinese audience, Dehao Zhou Tuan was extremely good, and any key director and director were no longer willing to find her, and the domestic authoritative award ceremony could not participate.
Only working for some minor roles on the land of China, the opportunity to star has been lost without any hope. She could have solved "transnational love" in other ways, but giving up Chinese nationality because of love eventually led to extremely negative effects on her career.
It is even more regrettable that she once served as the People's Liberation Army uniform.
With the implementation of the mainland's policy of restricting celebrity qualifications and salaries, the development of non-Chinese artists in the entertainment industry has been severely restricted, and many artists who choose to abandon Chinese nationality and join foreign nationality after gaining popularity have suffered from it.
Although joining another citizenship is an individual's free choice, the subsequent use of so-called patriotic images to grab profits is obviously not acceptable to the audience.
Move abroad, change your nationality! These 4 well-known old actors do not deserve the sympathy of the audience, so what do you think of this article?
