During the National Day, Liu Haoran was invited by Balenciaga to openly walk the catwalk for him.
Afterwards, he updated his Weibo dynamics, posting a few catwalk photos with the text "Unlock new experiences".
You must know that Balenciaga is a "humiliating" brand, and Liu Haoran's move undoubtedly made his already sharp decline in reputation, and it fell to the bottom.
Liu Haoran, who is known as the "national brother", how did he lose his good popularity step by step and make everyone complain constantly?
At the age of 17, a "Beijing Love Story" made the audience remember a sunny, handsome, and energetic boy, he was Liu Haoran.
In this film, although Liu Haoran's acting skills are slightly young, his feelings are real and natural, which makes many people see the vitality of young people in him.
After that, his star journey was smooth sailing, from the big screen to the small screen, and his starring role in "The Best of Us" also made the audience full of praise.
In the film, he played the role of a middle school student, and when he appeared in front of the audience in a school uniform, he instantly brought everyone into the student era.
His little tiger teeth and his warm smile all exude a full sense of youth.
And the role of Yu Huai has also become one of the masterpieces in his acting career.
Everyone affectionately calls him "National Brother", and Liu Haoran at that moment is undoubtedly Bai Yueguang in the minds of the audience.
After that, he continued to break through himself and played many different types of roles.
In addition to Qin Feng in "Detective Chinatown", there is also the white crane boy in "The Legend of the Cat Demon", which coexists with appearance and acting skills.
If nothing else, Liu Haoran will definitely become a rising star on the big screen.
But when his relationship with Zhou Dongyu was exposed, everything changed.
Zhou Dongyu is a movie star and has won numerous awards, but this does not change the fact that she is not popular with the audience.
Therefore, Liu Haoran, who has an intersection with Zhou Dongyu, is naturally not welcomed by the audience.
In fact, many people are not optimistic about their relationship, and everyone is waiting for the day when they break up.
But since August 2022, Zhou Dongyu has been photographed going to Liu Haoran's house many times, and the relationship can be seen.
Liu Haoran, who has no filter, seems to have begun to ignore the burden of idols and completely let himself go.
Especially the photo of him taking off his socks and picking his feet circulating on the Internet shocked netizens, and they turned black to him.
This makes everyone miss him when he first debuted, and now he is like two people, which is quite regrettable in people's embarrassment.
At that time, Liu Haoran was a sunny boy, and he was very online in terms of figure and appearance.
But now Liu Haoran is obviously missing that sense of youth, although his facial features are still the same, but his state is obviously different.
The three-seven-point hairstyle is greasy, and although the suit is straight, it still has an indescribable sloppy feeling.
And his originally delicate face has obviously become rounded, giving people a sense of "middle-aged fortune".
However, if this is all there is, his acting career will only be affected, but it will not move its foundation.
But this time the Balenciaga incident is obviously different.
In 2018, a video of Balenciaga's group beating on the Internet quickly fermented, causing countless onlookers to watch in an instant.
At that time, a middle-aged woman from China was queuing up at Balenciaga stores, and she wanted to buy a shoe that had been pre-sold at that time.
But for some reason, several foreigners suddenly appeared in front of her, and they completely disregarded discipline and directly inserted themselves into the front line.
At that time, the Chinese aunt stood up and spoke out, accusing several foreigners who cut in line.
Immediately afterwards, one of the foreigners pushed her, and even made a gesture to hit her.
The aunt's son saw that his mother was being bullied, so he instinctively came out to help.
But after all, he was outnumbered, and soon he was beaten by the five people on the other side.
At that time, there were security guards at the scene, but these security guards only controlled the Chinese.
And the few foreigners who cut in line are still arrogant and domineering as if nothing had happened.
Even Balenciaga's clerks looked at the Chinese customers with disdain, shouting in front of everyone: Please leave quickly.
Seeing their compatriots being bullied like this, netizens naturally couldn't sit still.
Everyone spontaneously left messages under Balenciaga's account, saying that they discriminated against Chinese people and behaved extremely badly.
Perhaps in order to calm down the turmoil as soon as possible, Balenciaga also quickly made a statement.
It's just that their sentence "We will ensure that every customer is always treated with equality and respect" seems so pale and insincere.
Obviously, they are avoiding the important and light, and netizens hope that they can apologize to all Chinese, but they only choose the so-called customers for their apologies.
Because of this incident, Balenciaga was blacklisted.
After all, their insulting behavior against China is really unforgivable.
After receiving a boycott from Chinese customers, Balenciaga naturally lost the Chinese market.
You have to know how powerful the Chinese consumer group is, so after a while, Balenciaga made a move.
Around the Qixi Festival in 2020, they launched a series of products and advertised Qixi Festival.
But I don't know if the level is too poor, or if it is deliberate, this advertisement is full of vulgarity, and it was once again insulted by China.
Originally, Balenciaga wanted to take advantage of this to win back the Chinese market, but they didn't want to make things worse, but instead made Chinese netizens have a worse and worse opinion of them, and even reached an irreparable situation.
It is clear that they underestimate the patriotism of the Chinese, but they still have a hint of illusion that through the star effect, they may be able to make their products accepted by China again.
Among the many Chinese stars, they have their eyes on Liu Haoran.
Maybe they did research, at that time, Liu Haoran was the national brother in everyone's mind, and he played many classic roles, full of positive energy.
But because he fell in love with Zhou Dongyu later, Liu Haoran's good popularity disappeared little by little.
It's just that Balenciaga doesn't know this, and naively fantasizes that Liu Haoran can let them regain a foothold in China.
Of course, Liu Haoran does have his excellent side, he is a drama actor of the China Coal Mine Art Troupe, in other words, a member of the system who holds an iron rice bowl.
However, this also means that he should be more cautious in his words and deeds to live up to the recognition and expectations of the Chinese people.
But when Balenciaga invited him, he agreed desperately, and chose to participate in the show during the National Day, I really don't know what he was thinking in his head.
Although walking the catwalk for Balenciaga does not necessarily mean that he is not patriotic.
But cooperating with an insulting brand is an extremely wrong decision in itself, and no matter what reason he has, it is not enough to be accepted.
I don't know if he will be able to regain his reputation in the future, after all, all this is unknown, and only he can give the answer.
