In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
In 2002, Zhou Xun and Liu Ye co-starred in the movie "Balzac and the Little Tailor", playing a pair of childhood sweethearts. As the most popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan at that time, the two teamed up to star in this literary film, which instantly attracted the attention of many fans.
Liu Ye, as a powerful actor known for his introverted and steady, does not rely on external conditions to attract attention, but strives to hone his inner temperament. Industry insiders have given him high praise, calling him "outstanding acting skills".
His performances always accurately capture the character's heart and make the audience follow his emotional ups and downs. Liu Ye often chooses characters with complex personalities and inner contradictions, such as the young man in this film, who is a son with a prominent family background but does not like to be restrained.
In stark contrast to Zhou Xun, she is a charismatic actor like her. Zhou Xun is good at using external conditions to attract people's attention, especially her youthful and energetic roles can highlight her personal charm.
The audience not only sees the characters, but also experiences Zhou Xun's own youthful vitality. Her excellent appearance is in strong contrast with Liu Ye, and the setting of the heroine in this film highlights the huge difference between the two.
Due to the very different personalities and positioning of the two, fans are looking forward to their collaboration, expecting a positive chemistry that will create a better performance.
In this film, the two show a lot of emotional scenes, telling the story of two childhood sweethearts who have no guesses and finally go to the palace of marriage, and this classic love has also become a major selling point of the movie.
In 2002, the film "Balzac and the Little Tailor" was successfully filmed, and the crew held a grand celebration banquet in the suburbs. Liu Ye and Zhou Xun, who played the starring roles in the movie, naturally became the focus of the celebration banquet.
At first, Liu Ye still maintained his usual serious demeanor and socialized politely with people from all walks of life. However, after a few glasses of rice wine, his state was obviously wrong, his face became red, and his speech was also alcoholic.
In an instant, Liu Ye staggered to his feet, and then walked straight in front of Zhou Xun, pointing at her and insulting her loudly, completely ignoring the gazes of the other actors and staff present.
His eyes were full of disgust and contempt, and his words were full of malice and ridicule, as if Zhou Xun was his enemy. He aggressively declared that Zhou Xun was a second-rate actor who relied on selling his body and hue in exchange for success and status.
Her success is not the result of her own efforts, but the result of her improper relationships with the directors.
His words were extremely sharp and mean, which was unacceptable, and Zhou Xun was also deeply hurt by his words At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire crew instantly became tense and awkward, and everyone held their breath and silently watched everything in front of them.
This kind of malicious slander, which has no basis in facts, shocked everyone present. After Zhou Xun heard the insult, he was stunned at first, and then he was furious. She stood up and fought back angrily, pointing out that Liu Ye would only flatter the director.
Liu Ye and Zhou Xun attacked each other in front of everyone, and their words were fierce, which made the atmosphere extremely embarrassing. Seeing this, the staff immediately stepped forward to persuade him, but Liu Ye still abused Zhou Xun with a resolute attitude.
After Zhou Xun's efforts to dissuade her to no avail, she finally turned around and left in disappointment, and her attitude towards Liu Ye had changed to complete disappointment and death.
The director walked out with a straight face and severely reprimanded Liu Ye for his gaffes, he especially emphasized that Zhou Xun relied on his own strength to gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry, and Liu Ye's slander had no factual basis.
Liu Ye's words seriously hurt Zhou Xun, and it was also regarded as a blatant humiliation of the director.
Actually, this is not the first time Liu Ye has gotten into trouble because of drunken gaffes, he belongs to the type of person who gets slurred and behaves out of control when he gets drunk, and his wine is very poor.
In his early years, he got drunk in the United States and got into a fight, compensating the other party for astronomical medical expenses. At this crew banquet, he insulted Zhou Xun out of control, which is also a portrayal of his many times of causing trouble due to drunken gaffes.
Since 2002, Liu Ye claims to have quit the bad habit of alcoholism. He also promised to give the other party a mobile phone if he drank it again. However, even after sobering up, he often spoke without thinking, and this habit became his trademark.
He often said things on social platforms that made his friends unable to get off the stage, such as directly saying that Huang Bo's daughter was not as beautiful as his own children. This kind of unfounded remark made Huang Bo very angry, and the relationship between the two was very tense for a while.
Liu Ye realized that his open-mouthed problem had seriously affected his popularity, but this habit seemed to be difficult to change. He had sought help from a psychiatrist, but the doctor told him that change would take a long time.
Now, Liu Ye's popularity in the circle has fallen to the lowest point, and many celebrities have turned their faces or fled after meeting him. This Zhou Xun incident is undoubtedly the last straw that crushed his popularity, making his popularity fall to the freezing point.
Liu Ye's nature is not bad, but he is really not good at controlling his words and deeds. After each accident, he blamed himself deeply and vowed never to let alcohol affect his judgment again.
However, his pronunciation problems persisted, hindering his development. Over time, the number of enemies in his circle gradually increased, and there were only a few people left who really cared about him.
After this incident, industry insiders said that this incident essentially revealed a serious problem with the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. Liu Ye's groundless accusation of Zhou Xun may have been influenced and triggered by some false rumors.
Although these rumors are chasing the wind, they do reflect the unspoken rules that actresses in the circle need to face.
In fact, there are indeed cases where actresses sacrifice hue for the sake of their acting careers. But at the same time, many actors chose to refuse the transaction, resulting in forced retirement. In the end, however, the legal net was restored, and no one escaped justice.
In 2003, actor Zhang Yu exposed a director's obscene request, but was jointly counterattacked by many people in the circle. Unwilling, she took the director to court, but lost the case due to lack of witnesses.
Similarly, many female stars have also been asked to "open their bodies and minds" during interviews, or were designated to meet in hotel rooms, and endured the unspoken rules of the director. Such an outcome is undoubtedly unimaginable.
Actresses need to decide between two options: either endure the humiliation or give up the opportunity. For example, Yang Mi was once molested by the director, and she chose to pretend to be confused to keep the role. But the director retaliated by changing the role the next day.
This act of communiqué and personal vendetta left the actresses deeply traumatized, but unable to speak to others.
Behind many incidents have revealed the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, which has seriously distorted the evaluation criteria of the acting industry, so that those who do not know how to act can also benefit by taking shortcuts.
This environment invisibly increases the pressure on actresses to resist temptation, leading many people to choose to compromise under this unbalanced system. If these unspoken rules are not fundamentally addressed, the suspicion within the crew will only intensify.
The movie "Balzac and the Little Tailor" has been released for more than 20 years, and the unhappiness of the crew has long been forgotten, but the relationship between Liu Ye and Zhou Xun has not been repaired.
The public turn of face after the finale banquet completely cut off the intersection of the two. Years have passed, and they are no longer the little girls they used to be, but there is no longer any possibility of cooperation.
In fact, as a senior in the circle, Liu Ye should not attack his juniors in public. However, he was quick to talk for a while, not only was he implicated, but also made Zhou Xun feel sorry for him.
As a veteran actor, he should set an example and show his demeanor, but in the end, he was carried away by alcohol. Now, many years later, he will feel extremely remorseful and regretful for this move.
In stark contrast, Zhou Xun's acting career has always maintained an upward momentum in the past 20 years, and she has become a representative of powerful actors.
In contrast, Liu Ye's popularity and reputation continue to decline, and it has fallen to the point where no one cares.
The two starred side by side back then, causing countless audiences to go crazy. Now, the infamous Liu Ye may find it difficult to return to his peak state.
