1. The sensational "Guanxi Gate"
In 2008, a scandal called "Guanxi Gate" caused an uproar in the entertainment industry, and stars were involved in it and became infamous. At that time, private photos of a celebrity artist Edison Chen and a number of actresses were exposed on the Internet by anonymous people.
More than 1,400 photos were exposed, and the content was extremely explicit, and the blow to the actress concerned can be imagined. As we all know, Edison Chen is very popular among actresses, and his handsome appearance and unique free and easy temperament make many female stars flock to him.
The revelation this time revealed the secret stories of the hunt between him and the actress.
As soon as the photos were exposed, they quickly spread on the Internet. At that time, it was the era of the rise of the Internet, and this kind of hot content caused an instant uproar. Countless netizens frantically discussed "Guanxi Gate", and the topic lasted for a long time.
At that time, the entire entertainment industry was shrouded in this scandal, and it was inevitable to mention this matter in any discussion related to the entertainment industry. It is like a boulder, casting earth-shattering ripples on the calm surface of the lake.
Countless people in the entertainment industry have discussed it, and even it is often mentioned in private chats. For a time, the word "Guanxi Gate" swiped the Internet and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
The entertainment industry, which should be glamorous, has also been overshadowed by this scandal. Countless artists were involved, and their image fell to the bottom. Many of them have suffered unprecedented blows and impacts in this turmoil, and their careers and lives have fallen into a quagmire.
"Guanxi Gate" has become a symbol and synonym, reminding people of the unknown secrets and darkness in the entertainment industry. It exposes the other side of the artist community and has become a topic of public discussion about virtue and quality.
For a while, all kinds of voices came one after another, commenting on the head.
Second, Cecilia Cheung fell into the dust from a jade girl
The first to suffer is the popular actress Cecilia Cheung. At that time, she was at the peak of her smash hit career, and she had the reputation of "Jade Girl" and was regarded as a new generation of baby actresses.
Unexpectedly, she also appeared in the exposed photos, which was a huge blow to her. In an instant, Cecilia Cheung's jade-like and holy image fell apart and fell into the dust.
In the exposed content, there are a lot of photos of her intimacy with Edison Chen. As soon as those colorful photos spread, Cecilia Cheung's reputation as a "jade girl" became a joke.
At that time, Cecilia Cheung was still the wife of the big star Nicholas Tse, and the two had just given birth to a son. This incident directly led to her disrepute and a chill from her husband.
Fortunately, Nicholas Tse was able to publicly express his understanding and support afterwards, which barely maintained Cecilia Cheung's last dignity. But the damage is a foregone conclusion, which is tantamount to a devastating blow to a high-profile actress.
Her career has fallen into a trough, and her most important image has been ruined.
One day three years later, Cecilia Cheung took an intimate photo with Edison Chen on the plane, which finally ignited Nicholas Tse's anger. A jade girl who was once unmatched at the peak fell into the dust in front of everyone, discredited, and eventually ended in divorce.
After the divorce, she could only move to Chinese mainland in obscurity and fight for her career again. To this day, when mentioning her name, people still think of "Guanxi Gate" first. A sudden scandal completely changed the course of her originally smooth sailing life.
3. Zhong Xintong has become an outdated actress from a diva
also fell into it, as well as Zhong Xintong, who was at the level of a popular diva. At that time, she was at the peak of her career and popularity, and her status was unshakable.
The result also appeared in the exposed photos, many of which were ambiguous, which was completely different from her cold and sexy image on stage. This undoubtedly hit her hard, directly causing her to fall from the position of diva to the edge of an out-of-fashion actress.
As soon as the photos were exposed, all of Zhong Xintong's work was urgently stopped. All advertisements, endorsements, variety shows, and film and television dramas that are being filmed were all interrupted, and she had to completely disappear from the public eye for a period of time.
waited until the limelight stopped for a while, and she was able to make a low-key comeback. But for the audience, her impression is still stuck in the image in the exposure photo. When it comes to her, the first thing that comes to people's minds is the ambiguous pictures in those photos.
From then on, Zhong Xintong could never return to his former status as a diva. Her former aura has come to naught, and it is even more difficult to return to the top of her past. In the face of such a harsh environment, she could only start again with difficulty.
Every time a work is released, it is like a test of life and death. When I think back to her now, the first thing the public will think of is the "Guanxi Gate" incident, rather than her talent and works.
What made her even more sad was that her love life had been in a slump since then. The two innocent and touching relationships both failed because the other party couldn't accept her past. How important love is to a woman, she could have had it but never returned.
The best youth of my life was completely destroyed by that accident. It is really not easy for Zhong Xintong to persist to this day.
Fourth, Chen Wenyuan, the ex-girlfriend of the rich second generation, died in a dream
In addition to the first-line actresses, there is also a Chen Wenyuan who has a bright future, and her life has changed drastically because of this turmoil. She was dating her rich second-generation boyfriend, the young master of the Jin family, and the two had already talked about marriage, and she was about to enter a wealthy family and become an enviable young girl.
Seeing that fame and fortune were both reaped and a happy life was within reach, the sudden "Guanxi Gate" made her fall from heaven to hell. In the exposed photos, there are also fierce materials about her and Edison Chen's intimacy. This directly led to her breaking up with the young master of the Jin family.
The young master, who already had a good impression of her, was stimulated by this incident and had a grudge against her past. What's more, the young master's mother was extremely disgusted by this and directly expressed her opposition to this marriage.
How could a son-in-law who was originally unmarried have such a bad deed before marriage. Chen Wenyuan suddenly fell from the dream of a young milk girl to the despair of losing her lover.
She had to quit the entertainment industry and lived a long ordinary and lonely life. I miss the man I once loved all day long, but there is no result.
It wasn't until many years later that he married an ordinary person, but he couldn't realize his former "dream of a wealthy family". Every time she thinks of the past, Chen Wenyuan still feels sad and stunned, and the changes in her life are really unpredictable.
Fifth, his girlfriend Yang Yongqing did not affect but became married
Unlike other actresses, Yang Yongqing, as Edison Chen's official girlfriend back then, was not negatively affected by this incident. After her relationship with Edison Chen was exposed, public opinion paid little attention to and discussed her.
This is mainly due to her noble family background, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and her own fame and aura.
The turmoil did little harm to Yang Yongqing. After the breakup, she lived a low-key life with ease and did not appear in the public eye again. A few years later, she married another normal man, and gradually faded out of the public eye after marriage.
On the other hand, other actresses have bad fate, and Yang Yongqing is undoubtedly the luckiest one. She soon walked out of this episode and started a new life. Perhaps, God gave her a warning to choose a more suitable path in life.
The impact of this turmoil on her may be one of the turning points.
6. China's development after Deng Lixin's silence
Teresa Teng was also revealed to have been intimate with Edison Chen, but unlike other actresses, the impact of this incident on her was very limited. At that time, public opinion focused on popular actresses such as Cecilia Cheung, Zhong Xintong and others, and there was little attention and discussion about Teresa Teng.
She fell silent for a while before disappearing from public view.
Unlike other actresses, Teng Lixin did not gain notoriety in the entertainment industry because of this incident. After only fading out for a while, she decisively moved to Chinese mainland to continue her career.
Over the years, she has continued to launch works in the Chinese market, and her acting career is quite stable.
It can be said that Deng Lixin is one of the lucky actresses who did not suffer too much negative impact in this incident. She managed to weather the storm and regain her footing in another market.
Compared with those actresses whose lives have changed drastically, Teng Lixin's experience is much luckier. She seized the opportunity and achieved new development in her career.
Seventh, Li Meiqi's career has been successful and her feelings have setbacks
Li Meiqi was also exposed to intimate photos with Edison Chen, but at that time, the public's attention was focused on Cecilia Cheung and other top actresses, and the attention to Li Meiqi was relatively limited.
So the impact of this turmoil on her was relatively slight, and it did not cause an uproar like other popular actresses.
After this incident, Li Meiqi's acting career is still smooth sailing. She has a number of film and television works launched every year, and has gradually become one of the powerful acting actors.
In the film and television industry, she is already a well-known existence, and she is not like other actresses who quit gloomily.
However, behind the successful career, Li Meiqi's love life is not satisfactory. She and her ex-boyfriend Wu Yanzu also broke up because of the incident. Later, he fell in love with an American male star, and although he was engaged, he still ended up without a problem.
Emotional setbacks have kept her single to this day.
Now Li Meiqi lives a simple life, with only a few stray dogs from all over the world to accompany her. They became the most loyal friends in her life. Perhaps it was their appearance that made up for Li Meiqi's regrets on the emotional road.
She now lives a quiet life, occasionally appears in public, and is considered by many to be a senior figure in the industry.
8. Edison Chen's image as a successful businessman has transformed
As the hero of this incident, Edison Chen also experienced ups and downs in his life after "Guanxi Gate". At first, his image fell to the bottom, and countless public opinion condemned him.
After a public apology, he chose to quit the entertainment industry and temporarily disappeared from public view.
For a top actor, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow. But he didn't stop there, but found his way back in the business world. With his extraordinary courage and perseverance, Edison Chen gradually gained a firm foothold in the business world and regained his confidence.
He has invested in a number of start-ups and is committed to music-related industries. Relying on his excellent mind and vision, Edison Chen finally succeeded in the mall.
Now he is a qualified business elite, getting rid of the image of a gentleman in the past.
In terms of family, Edison Chen also found happiness. He has been married for many years, has a daughter, and has a happy and harmonious family. He got back on track and also reaped a double harvest of career and love.
Today's Edison Chen has successfully achieved a transformation and walked out of the shadow of that romantic life.
His story has also become an inspiring example of how a person can climb to the top of life even if he or she falls to the lowest point. Edison Chen used his own practical actions to interpret what it means to counterattack life.
