Recently, the male singer Tong Zhuo, who has disappeared from the public eye for 4 years, suddenly became a frequent visitor on the hot search again.
The reason is that on April 7, he was asked for salary by his studio's account.
Subsequently, the account posted one after another, with a variety of content, but there are indeed a lot of materials:
From Tong Zhuo once wanted to make money by bringing goods, but his permission was blocked, and he was still short of Mango Stage's taxes, plus a late fee of about 100,000 yuan, and in order to let him meet fans, the studio took great pains......
Although the "salary seeker" who ran the account at that time was very anxious and active, the matter did not attract much attention at first, and netizens even complained directly: "Save some and send it tomorrow, I'm going to sleep." ”
Indeed, since he revealed in the live broadcast in 2020 that he used extraordinary means to participate in the college entrance examination, Tong Zhuo "disappeared" in front of the public.
And this incident undoubtedly brought his embarrassing behavior of self-hammering back then into the focus again.
Today, we will take you to review, what kind of person is this male artist who just became popular with "Sound into the Heart" and exposed his college entrance examination fraud and collapsed his house?
1. Get strong support, and your debut is the peak
Tong Zhuo, who just turned 30 this year, was born in a wealthy family in Linfen, Shaanxi.
After the college entrance examination incident, he was found out that his father Tong Tianfeng was a well-known figure in the local area, and his mother Wang Wenju ran Haida Xindu Coal Company with a registered capital of up to 50 million.
But in fact, his parents divorced in 2012, and the two have also fought lawsuits over real estate and other issues.
But before that, Tong Zhuo was still good professionally:
He was the backbone of the school's literature and art during his studies, studied saxophone and vocal music, and began to participate in various art competitions since 2007.
Before the college entrance examination, Tong Zhuo set his goal on military arts, and later he revealed that he failed the college entrance examination in 2012 and began to repeat the following year.
However, because the military art of that year only recruited fresh graduates, the family used the "mysterious power" to change his status as a former student to a fresh graduate.
After taking the college entrance examination this year, Tong Zhuo also participated in the recording of the talent show "China Red Song Club", and finally ended in the top 10 in the Xi'an Division.
Subsequently, he got the admission letters of the Chinese Opera National Opera Department and the Military Art Department respectively, and finally chose the former.
In 2016, Tong Zhuo, who was still studying, began to broadcast live at Salted Egg's House under the name of the anchor of "The Second Master with Long Legs".
It was also at this stage that he was selected by Mango Taiwan, and then signed a contract and won strong support.
He first appeared in the variety show "Everyday Upward", and then transformed into an actor, and took out the movies "Single Wang's Holiday" and "The Killer of the Flood Palace Fight as a Concubine" the following year, but these works all ended up hitting the street.
Speaking of Tong Zhuo's popularity, we have to mention the vocal performance program "Sound into the Heart".
The show invited 36 members of the bel canto and musical theater fields at the time, aiming to combine high art with pop elements.
The setting of the show itself is different, and good singers with both characteristics and strength such as Ayunga and Zheng Yunlong have also emerged, so it attracted attention immediately after it was broadcast.
Because he took the cute route in the show, and his personality was likable and handsome, Tong Zhuo easily attracted the attention of the audience.
Especially in the final competition, he ascended to the chief throne with his bright track "Jiu'er", which he is very good at.
After that, Tong Zhuo's acting career Lu Dashun immediately appeared on classic variety shows such as "Quick Book", and was jokingly called "Mango Channel's own son" by the outside world.
Because Ayunga and Zheng Yunlong, who have been highly praised, are very outstanding in terms of appearance and popularity, and the two are more inclined to focus on the music itself, they have developed separately one after another.
In this way, Tong Zhuo and another popular player, Gao Tianhe, ushered in more opportunities.
It's just that no one expected that these two can be called "difficult brothers", not only did they expose large-scale same-sex recordings in the future, but they also fell into fraud cases, resulting in ruined careers.
2. Self-hammering college entrance examination fraud, ignorance or showing off?
The year after the broadcast of "Sound into the Heart", Tong Zhuo and Gao Tianhe took over from Zheng Yunlong and Ayunga, and formed a new "Voice into the Heart Men's Group" with the other two Cai Chengyu and Ju Hongchuan, and appeared together in "The Year of the Singer".
The pair of CPs, who are known as the "Heavenly Deletion Guys" by the outside world, have a stronger sense of variety shows, and then received many popular variety shows such as "Chinese Restaurant" and "Longing for Life" together, and also sought a long-term opportunity to appear in "Quick Book" and "Everyday Upward".
Among them, Tong Zhuo's performance is even more surprising, in addition to the appearance of "milk dog" is very pleasing, his emotional intelligence is not low, he can shake his wit and not steal the scene, so he is very popular with passers-by, and he gets along with other artists very well.
Especially at the 2019 New Year's Eve concert, the two also appeared as hosts with He Jiong, Xie Na, Li Weijia and others, and it can be said that the future is bright.
But Tong Zhuo is not without "stains", because of the recording of "Chinese Restaurant", many recordings of him and Gao Tianhe forgetting to close the wheat and whispering suddenly circulated on the Internet.
But the whistleblower only released one of them, but the scale is amazing enough, so the audience began to speculate about the X orientation of the two.
In fact, in "Chinese Restaurant", the two of them are diligent and sensible, but they don't want to be exposed by "people with hearts" who have such a recording.
And Tong Zhuo has always given people a cute feeling before, and some people even think that he hit the face of the "national brother" Liu Haoran, but as soon as the recording came out, the character was sparse.
There are many so-called popular people, and this matter was in an uproar at the time.
There are also many netizens who claim to be in the know who broke the news that Tong Zhuo's quality was not good when he did Internet celebrity live broadcasts, and the scale was not small at that time, and even bluntly said that "as long as the gift is brushed to the top few, it is okay to have a male appointment".
However, netizens did not pursue this too much, but they were all angrily criticizing the staff of Mango Channel who broke the news for having no bottom line, and some people suspected that this matter was just a marketing method by the program team for the popularity of the program.
So Tong Zhuo didn't seem to be affected too much, but had more and more resources, and then he also appeared as a guest singer in "Sound into the Heart Season 2", and then recorded "Chinese Bridge", "Hi Sing and Turn Up" and other programs.
It can be said that if it weren't for the self-exposure of problems with the college entrance examination, his development would not be too bad, after all, the follow-up transformation would be smooth.
In 2020, in addition to the release of the first pilot single "Your Color" by the popular boy group Super Vocal, Tong Zhuo also participated in the TV series "The Great Pediatrician".
The role of Lei Hao played by him is a male nurse with a lot of scenes, and it is reported that in order to film this drama, Tong Zhuo stayed in the crew for three months.
But in the end, he didn't have the opportunity to appear in the work, because the show had not yet been broadcast, and the house collapsed due to the college entrance examination incident.
And when the show was launched, he also came forward to rub the heat, which was also ridiculous.
Second, the so-called college entrance examination fraud case dates back to May 2020, Tong Zhuo talked about his study experience in the live broadcast, and bluntly said that he changed his identity as a former student to a fresh graduate to take the college entrance examination through some means in 2013.
In the process, he danced, got carried away, and laughed so much that he "trembled", and these words immediately aroused questions from netizens.
Seeing that the matter was fermenting, he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and the next day he started a live broadcast to "complain", and told about all the bitterness of his college entrance examination, and shed tears when his feelings were strong.
What's even more interesting is that Tong Zhuo also sighed: "It's so difficult to be an artist, and you can't speak freely......"
In this regard, in addition to anger, the attitude of netizens also broke his ignorance:
"He may not understand that his actions are fraud and do not realize how big of a deal it is to speak out. ”
But the official immediately responded to this and directly criticized it by name: "Educational fairness is related to China's future, and there is no room for cheating!"
Since then, the Tong Zhuo incident has opened a vigorous investigation, and finally the dust has settled - he collapsed.
3. There is no collapse, and coolness is inevitable
At the end of May of the same year, he issued his own handwritten letter of apology and expressed his willingness to bear all the consequences.
And the first consequence of this incident was that Mango Station kept "cutting out" the footage of "Magical Chinese Characters" in which he participated, and "Kuaiben" also removed him.
Coincidentally, the month after the Tong Zhuo incident, his good brother Gao Tianhe was also reported to have cheated when participating in the Mango Channel host exam.
Although he also apologized immediately, his results were immediately canceled and his acting career was ruined.
And Tong Zhuo's incident is obviously bigger than Gao Tianhe's, after which the identities of his parents and stepfather were picked up, and the relevant officials also responded one by one and launched an investigation.
On June 12, the Shanxi Department of Education issued a statement canceling his results in various subjects in the college entrance examination, and his stepfather was also removed from his post in connection with the incident, and the rest of the public officials who handled the transfer for him were dealt with one by one.
And in this process, Tong Zhuo's sense of presence has always been not low, because he has always been extremely active, and he has also been "tough" with his former teammate Zheng Yunlong and the actress Yao Chen who supported each other.
The cause of the incident was that he posted screenshots of several articles on social platforms, the content of which was "Tong Zhuo's live broadcast overturned, Zheng Yunlong filmed in a low-key manner", and hinted that the other party took the opportunity to step on himself:
"I don't think it's necessary to carry me so consistently. Former friends, I'd rather believe that this method has nothing to do with you. ”
After the matter fermented, the questioned media person directly denied knowing Zheng Yunlong, and also said that "there is no hype, no contact", it can be said that he directly slapped Tong Zhuo in the face, which also led to the escalation of the contradiction between the two.
In this regard, Tong Zhuo fought back again, and even directly said that he wanted to ask Beiwu whether Zheng Yunlong's literary theory was duplicated, and it also implied that the other party was a "liar".
Zheng Yunlong did not respond to his repeated provocations, but only shared the OST sung by the TV series for "Splendid Southern Song", but actress Yao Chen left a message in support.
And the two have collaborated on the TV series "Holiday Warmth", and it is not unusual for them to be friends with each other.
But Yao Chen's actions also provoked Tong Zhuo's anger: "Flower of Evil!"
The stalk about "Evil Flower" is really old, this word comes from Yao Chen's 2014 opinion on a social hot event, which was rated as "inappropriate" by netizens, so this word is regarded as her negative label by the outside world.
What's even more interesting is that Tong Zhuo's studio also posted that it had received a lot of submissions, and it was very likely to become a battle for the Ji Committee of your circle.
But no one thought that after four years, his studio would turn against the water, and directly shook out all kinds of black materials from Tong Zhuo, which caught the people who ate melons off guard.
Regarding the revelations of the above-mentioned studio, Tong Zhuo began to respond early the next morning, saying that he was owed 6 years of live broadcast fees.
According to his revelations, the public was also exposed to Guo Han, the CEO of the company called Salted Egg Family, which is currently involved in nearly 30 pieces of information on dishonest judgment debtors, with a total amount of about 3 million yuan.
But this matter did not end there, about 4 hours after Tong Zhuo's response, Guo Han started the live broadcast, responding to the arrears of wages and other things.
He also said that the reason why he tore his face this time was entirely because Tong's mother and another operator of the company said that he had a crush on Tong Zhuo......
Guo Han also said that Tong Zhuo's character is not good: "There is a set of fooling fans." ”
At present, the progress of the two sides is that both sides have indicated that they want to sue each other, but we have to wait and see how far the specific situation will go.
However, looking at Tong Zhuo's rise from fame to collapse, and now the collapse of the house, it can only show one problem: the threshold for entering the industry in your circle is too low!
It can't help but make people reflect: the stepping stone of the entertainment industry should not only be the key to appearance and talent, but also the key to career and long-term popularity with virtue and bottom line.
