introduction
The entertainment industry has always paid high respect to the old drama bones. They are known for their professionalism, excellent acting skills and noble moral character, and are highly respected by audiences and the industry. These veteran actors are not only role models in the industry, but also precious assets in the literary and artistic circle.
In the entertainment industry, some once highly respected actors are now being questioned because of their chaotic private lives, lying habits, and critical behavior of other actors. Sixteen Tong, Zhu Shimao and Pan Changjiang are all veteran actors with rich acting experience, but they have left deep scars in terms of morality and professional ethics.
This article will delve into the controversial behavior of these veteran actors, while examining their impact on the entertainment industry and culture. This topic provokes reflections on ethics and professional conduct, as well as discussions about the subtle interactions between the audience and the actors. At the same time, it also raises a question worth reflecting on and discussing: Under the aura, do we ignore the importance of morality?
The first old actor: Chi Chongrui
Chi Chongrui is a well-respected veteran actor at home and abroad. He became famous for playing the role of a Tang monk in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West". The drama was popular throughout the country at the time, and it was even said that the crime rate had declined, because criminals such as thieves would rather stay at home and watch "Journey to the West" than commit crimes.
In real life, he has maintained a bald image for a long time, continuing the image of the Tang monk's pure heart and indisputable nature.
However, although he does not seem to be pursuing fame and fortune, it is not. After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", in addition to the character's old thoughts of tightening the curse, in 1990, he married Chen Lihua, a wealthy female businessman more than ten years older than him, which triggered speculation about whether he married a rich woman for fame and fortune.
With the high-profile character of Tang Monk and the continued enthusiasm of the audience, Chi Chongrui managed to reap numerous benefits. Although thirty-seven years have passed, Journey to the West is still an inexhaustible source of his wealth.
As many stars began to use their popularity to carry out online live broadcasts, Chi Chongrui also joined the ranks and used the identity of Tang Monk to promote goods.
He posted on social media images of himself playing the Tang monk, including clips and photos from the scene, as well as a video of him playing the Tang monk again. He tried to evoke the memory and love of netizens for him in order to accumulate wealth.
During the live broadcast, he mainly promoted ordinary Buddha bead bracelet, and claimed that its original price was as high as tens of thousands, or even millions, but promised to give fans the greatest discount.
While it's understandable to profit from one's well-known status, it's unethical to abuse the trust of fans for improper gain. Such acts are reprehensible.
The second old drama bone: a six-year-old child
A six-year-old child, this respected veteran actor at home and abroad, has become a unique actor because of his outstanding Monkey King's performance. However, his acting career has also been controversial with a series of controversial acts.
The six-year-old child (real name Zhang Jinlai), born in a crosstalk family, learned monkey opera from an early age and cultivated his excellent acting skills. However, the peak of his career was playing the Monkey King in "Journey to the West" broadcast in 1986.
Among the many Monkey King actors, the six-year-old is considered one of the most popular. However, just as his career was at its peak, an incident sparked controversy. At that time, someone invited the "Journey to the West" team to go abroad for commercial performances and interviews, but director Yang Jie refused the invitation.
The incident shocked viewers and sparked widespread criticism. However, the six-year-old did not cause controversy only in commercial performances. He shows a "negative" attitude towards other actors' interpretation of the role of Monkey King. He has repeatedly publicly criticized other actors' interpretations of the Monkey King, believing that others have "uglyized" the character and even influenced Chinese culture.
In his eyes, his own role as the Monkey King is the only standard, and the others are all "failing" or even "offensive". This attitude sparked controversy with other actors and audiences, making one wonder if he was too narcissistic and lacked respect for the performances of other actors.
The third old drama bone: Zhu Shimao
Zhu Shimao, as a well-loved old drama bone and sketch actor, co-performed sketches with Chen Peisi won him many instant classics of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
One of his classic lines: "Lao Xu, do you want your wife or not?" "Once again, he pushed his role in the starring "Wrangler" to the height of an Internet celebrity, and won the warm love of young netizens.
However, despite his respectable performance in show business, his private life has always been quite controversial. With a wife and family, Zhu Shimao has been repeatedly involved in scandals and has been dubbed "prodigal son in love" by many netizens.
His intimate photos of hugs and kisses with many different women have been exposed many times, causing a storm in the media and social media. However, in the face of these controversies, he doesn't seem to care, insisting on living his life his way. Even at an advanced age, he is still constantly exposed to scandals of cheating, which makes people feel very embarrassed and puzzled. These turmoil in his private life brought him negative attention, reflecting the complex and confusing side of the star's life.
The fourth old actor: Pan Changjiang
Pan Changjiang, as a comedian and sketch comedy, makes the audience laugh with his humor and jokes. In recent years, however, his actions have sparked some controversy, with accusations of "relying on the old and selling the old."
Pan Changjiang and Cai Ming's partner have collaborated to create a number of classic sketches, including a sketch for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. His talent for humor and comedy made him a beloved comedy star by audiences.
However, the actions in the live stream caused widespread controversy. He openly ridiculed others for selling fake wine, and criticized other online anchors for selling fake wine to viewers at high prices, calling them "treating viewers as fools." This behavior is considered to be "relying on the old to sell the old", that is, relying on one's past achievements and popularity to hype one's own products.
Pan Changjiang's controversial behavior sparked a strong reaction from viewers and fans. Some support his humor and comedic talents, but others question his criticism of other streamers and his own ethical behavior. Audiences and fans were divided over his controversial behavior, with some believing he should maintain professional integrity, while others may be more focused on his acting achievements.
Pan Changjiang's story is an example of reflection on the role and moral standards of comedic stars in the entertainment industry. The balance between his humor and comedic talent and controversial behavior has become a much-discussed topic that makes us reflect on the truth behind the entertainment industry.
conclusion
These old drama bones should have been highly respected seniors. However, they abused their status as seniors, relying on the old to sell the old, and pointing fingers at other actors and audiences. Their chaotic private lives and unscrupulous behaviour to enrich themselves have seriously damaged their professional and public image.
Why do so many old drama bones fall into the situation of "immorality"? Is it because they have passed their peak and no longer care about their image and professionalism? Or is it because you have been praised and sought after too much and gradually lost your way?
These questions require us to think deeply and reflect. At the same time, I hope that the audience can be alert, do not blindly worship and follow stars, and treat everything in the entertainment industry rationally. We should pay attention to the professionalism and morality of actors, not just their acting skills and screen image. Only in this way can we have a more healthy and beneficial entertainment industry.
