Preface
Zhou Libo, who was arrogant and rude back then, once threw out a very offensive sentence: "How can a garlic eater be with a coffee drinker?" This sentence not only reveals his contempt for regional cultural differences, but also conceals a mockery of Guo Degang and his cross talk art.
In the face of Zhou Libo's blatant provocation, Guo Degang reacted quickly, and he cleverly fought back in the cross talk work "You Want to Be Elegant", satirizing those who claim to be elegant, no matter how much perfume is sprayed, the breath in his bones is still like a human ZHA.
Guo Degang's sharp counterattack won wide resonance and appreciation from the audience.
Today, Deyun Club, founded by Guo Degang, has steadily occupied half of the Chinese cross talk industry, but Zhou Libo, who once boasted of "elegant coffee", has long disappeared from the public eye.
From becoming famous overnight to discrediting now, what ups and downs has Zhou Libo's acting career experienced?
【1】
The road to art: from a rich kid to a rising star in quyi
Zhou Libo's story is like a legendary scroll of Shanghai Tang, slowly unfolding against the backdrop of the bustling city of Shanghai.
Zhou Libo was born in Shanghai in 1967 to a wealthy family, and the family lived in the bustling Huangpu District, enjoying the prosperity and excitement of the city.
At home, Zhou Libo is the second in line, has a sister who loves him, and his father is a respected sports team coach.
Zhou's father is not only conscientious in his work, but also loves the art of opera in his spare time.
He often hummed a little song at home, and his singing voice was melodious and beautiful, which made Zhou Libo have a strong interest in opera since he was a child.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he not only learned a lot of opera knowledge, but also gradually showed his outstanding eloquence and won the love of his elders.
By chance, Zhou Libo came into contact with the cross talk sketch industry.
He found the industry fun and challenging, and he became interested.
In 1981, Zhou Libo ushered in an important turning point in his life.
That year, he was only 14 years old, at the age of youth and high spirits.
At this time, the Shanghai Quyi Troupe is recruiting new members to inject fresh blood into the troupe.
Zhou's father felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he encouraged Zhou Libo to give it a try.
With the encouragement of his father, Zhou Libo plucked up the courage to participate in the interview.
With his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts, he successfully passed the selection and officially became a member of the Shanghai Quyi Troupe.
Since then, he has embarked on the road of art and started his own life as a qu artist.
During his days in the Quyi Troupe, Zhou Libo was diligent and studious, studied hard, and constantly improved his artistic level.
He humbly consulted his seniors to learn their acting skills and stage experience, and at the same time, he actively participated in various performance activities to hone his stage expression and adaptability.
After several years of training and experience, Zhou Libo gradually emerged in the music industry and became a high-profile new star.
Today, Zhou Libo has become one of the representatives of Shanghai's quyi industry.
His performance style is unique and humorous, and he is loved by the audience.
His success comes not only from his talent and talent, but also from his love and relentless pursuit of art.
He has written a legendary artistic life with his own efforts and sweat.

The witty defense conquered Yan Shunkai, and used the black and white TV to solve the color TV exam questions
When Zhou Libo was only 14 years old, his father was keenly aware of his son's artistic potential and resolutely signed him up for the recruitment of the famous Shanghai Quyi Troupe at that time.
You must know that the selection criteria of this troupe are so strict that they can almost be described as "one in a thousand".
A considerable number of people who apply for the exam every year have undergone long-term and rigorous professional training, and they have been working hard and carefully preparing behind the scenes for several years for this moment.
On this star-studded and fiercely competitive stage, Zhou Libo, who is immature and has no stage experience, is particularly insignificant.
It is such a seemingly inconspicuous teenager who has shown wisdom and courage beyond his age at critical moments.
During the interview, the examiner threw out a challenging question: "If you had a color TV at home, how would you react?"
The examiner, Yan Shunkai, a well-known burlesque artist in the industry, asked Zhou Libo: "What do you think a color TV looks like?" Although Zhou Libo has never seen a color TV with his own eyes, his answer is extremely resolute: "Very clear!" This confidence made everyone present stunned.
Yan Shunkai then asked, "How is the method clear?" Zhou Libo thought for a while, and immediately blurted out: "Black and white!" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the scene instantly became subtle, and Yan Shunkai couldn't help laughing: "No, you are describing a black and white TV, right?"
At this moment, ordinary candidates may have been flustered, but Zhou Libo showed extraordinary calmness and alertness.
With a smile on his face, he calmly responded: "No, because my color TV at home is playing a black-and-white movie today!" This witty answer not only cleverly resolved the embarrassment, but also lost humor, which made everyone present applaud in amazement.
Yan Shunkai was deeply moved by Zhou Libo's on-the-spot reaction, clever response and natural funny temperament.
He realized that the teenager in front of him not only had excellent adaptability and courage, but also was a natural comedy talent, which fully met the expectations of the burlesque troupe for newcomers.
As a result, Yan Shunkai made a bold decision: before Zhou Libo completed the remaining three assessment items for the recruitment, he decided to give priority to staying.
This exceptional move is undoubtedly a high affirmation of his potential, and it also lays a solid foundation for Zhou Libo to shine in the entertainment industry in the future.
【3】
The teenager became famous and entered the burlesque theater, his arrogant words and deeds led Yan Shunkai to prophesy, he accidentally injured people and became disabled, was removed from the troupe, and finally left the troupe to find another way
At the age of 14, Zhou Libo was successfully admitted to the Shanghai Burlesque Academy and became a disciple of the famous artist Yan Shunkai with his outstanding intelligence.
Although Zhou Libo is talented, he has developed an arrogant and conceited character because he has lived in a wealthy environment since he was a child.
One year, Zhou Libo made an arrogant remark in an interview, which reached Yan Shunkai's ears, which made him extremely dissatisfied, and Yan Shunkai warned Zhou Libo: "If you don't learn to control your words and deeds, sooner or later you will be arrested one day!"
During his studies at the Burlesque Academy, Zhou Libo developed feelings for his sister Zhang Jie, who was six years older than him, but due to the large age gap between the two, the woman's family always opposed their relationship.
During a heated argument, Zhou Libo accidentally injured Zhang Jie's father's right eye, leaving him disabled for life, and Zhou Libo was sentenced to serve more than 200 days in prison.
After his release from prison, the troupe feared that Zhou's actions would affect the group's reputation and banned him from performing on stage.
Zhou Libo approached the dean, hoping to resume work, but the dean only arranged for him to weed in the backyard for further labor reform.
At this time, Zhou Libo was in the period of youth and frivolity, and could not bear such humiliation, and finally chose to leave the troupe and find another path of development.

Relying on his wife to survive, abandoning his wife and rich woman, and founding "Shanghai School Qingkou" counterattack
In 1992, when the wave of entrepreneurship in Chinese society was rolling, Zhou Libo also followed the trend and devoted himself to the business world.
With his wealthy family background and the geographical advantages of Shanghai, an international metropolis, he and his partners jointly run a building materials wholesale business and a capital speculation business.
In just a few years, they have accumulated tens of millions of wealth, and Zhou Libo's life has entered a brilliant one.
At the same time, he entered the marriage hall with his beloved Zhang Jie as he wished, which can be described as a double harvest of career and love, and reached the peak of his life.
The world is impermanent, and the good times don't last long.
Just five years later, Zhou's business empire collapsed due to a broken capital chain, and he not only went bankrupt, but also was tasked with repaying a huge debt of 5 million yuan to a cultural company.
Faced with the dilemma of being unable to repay, Zhou Libo was forced to choose to go to Japan to escape the debt pressure at home.
During those difficult days, Zhou Libo's wife, Zhang Jie, had to shoulder the burden of the family, and even held two positions to make ends meet.
Their life of hiding debts in Japan has undoubtedly become the first low point in Zhou Libo's life.
In the face of setbacks, some people will choose to slump, while others will learn from the pain and reflect deeply.
Zhou Libo doesn't seem to belong to either type.
Convinced that he would never admit defeat, he was determined to rely on his wife's care while patiently waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.
In order to make a living, Zhang Jie went to Japan to make a living, worked in the well-known local "Marudai Foods" company, and later married a Japanese man, gave birth to a son, and lived a relatively stable life.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 2001.
It has been eight years since Zhou Libo and Zhang Jie last met.
The loneliness and loneliness in a foreign country were melted by the warmth of the old love Zhou Libo, and the two were like dry firewood, and the old love quickly rekindled.
Only a year later, Zhang Jie resolutely divorced her Japanese husband, gave up all her property, and even left her children at her Japanese husband's house, choosing to remarry Zhou Libo.
This move not only helped Zhou Libo successfully obtain a spouse visa for permanent residents in Japan, but also made the outside world deeply admire Zhou Libo's methods of handling feelings and life, and sighed at the cleverness of his methods.
In the early years, Zhou Libo's life in Japan was not satisfactory.
With a language barrier, he couldn't find a suitable way to survive in the local area, so he could only rely on his wife Zhang Jie to work a few jobs to maintain their livelihood.
In her later complaints, Zhang Jie described these difficult years in detail, and the words were full of dissatisfaction and disappointment with Zhou Libo's image of a "soft rice man".
The turning point came in 2003, when Zhou Libo, with the help of his friend Guan Dongtian, took Zhang Jie back to his long-lost motherland, intending to seek better development in China.
What Zhang Jie didn't expect was that after Zhou Libo's career was gradually on the right track and her reputation became more and more prominent, he ruthlessly kicked her away, completely ignoring the relationship between husband and wife for many years.
Zhou Libo's ingratitude drew a painful end to their marriage.
In 2008, during a trip to Zhangjiajie, Zhou Libo met Hu Jie, who was known as the "rich woman of Wenzhou".
Hu Jie was gentle and intellectual, and acted decisively, which quickly attracted Zhou Libo's attention.
Coincidentally, Hu Jie's ex-husband is the fugitive Yang Shenghua, and the two have two daughters.
Despite the complicated background, Zhou Libo quickly fell in love with Hu Jie and began to live together.
In the face of Zhou Libo's betrayal, Zhang Jie did not choose to remain silent.
In 2009, after many unsuccessful attempts to save her marriage, she angrily exposed Zhou Libo's various evil deeds to the media, including scandals such as cheating, domestic violence, rich women and drug abuse.
At this time, Zhou Libo was at the peak of his career, and his high prestige and huge fan base made Zhang Jie's accusation seem weak in the field of public opinion.
Zhou Libo easily turned the tide with a few words, and successfully eliminated the turmoil, and finally the matter was over.
Dating back to 2006, Zhou Libo decided to return to China to start a business after years of silence in Japan, with the full support of his domestic friend Guan Dongtian.
He created a novel form of talk show called "Shanghai Style Qingkou", which held its first performance at the Shanghai Lyceum Theatre.
This performance won the enthusiastic response of the first audience and laid a solid foundation for Zhou Libo's career in China.
In 2008, Zhou Libo took advantage of the victory and launched a special talk show "30 Years of Laughter" with the theme of "30th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up".
The show was performed 31 times in just three months, attracting more than 28,000 spectators and a total box office income of more than 6.5 million yuan.
The huge success of "30 Years of Laughter" has made Zhou Libo a leading figure in the domestic talk show industry, and even on a par with Guo Degang, a representative of the northern cross talk industry, and has been praised by the outside world as "Guo Degang in the north and Zhou Libo in the south".
【5】
Zhou Libo married Hu Jie for the wedding of the century, and there was little affection behind the affection
In 2010, the entanglement between Zhou Libo and his ex-wife came to an end, he married Hu Jie in a high-profile manner, and held a grand wedding of the century in Shanghai, which was attended by many well-known figures in the entertainment industry such as Carina Lau, Jackie Chan, Chen Kaige and his wife.
After marriage, Zhou Libo frequently showed his affection in public, and he once confessed affectionately: "If it weren't for my wife accepting my soul, I'm afraid I would still be a genius on the streets." These words seem to praise his wife, but in fact, he is also claiming to be a "genius", fully exposing his arrogance and conceit.
Zhou Libo's indifference is not only aimed at his ex-wife Zhang Jie, but also includes the "big brother" Guan Dongtian who made her popular.
Whether it is Zhou Libo's imprisonment or the ups and downs of the shopping mall, Guan Dongtian has always cared for this little brother and never gave up.
In 2006, with Guan Dongtian's encouragement and planning, Zhou Libo was determined to return to the stage.
Together, the duo conceived the idea of creating a new form of comedy performance, which combines the characteristics of Hong Kong's "stand-up comedy" and local burlesque, supplemented by stand-up comedy, comic jokes and body language expression, and finally launched the innovative "Shanghai Style Qingkou".
At that time, the unique art form of "Shanghai School Qingkou" could only be mastered by Zhou Libo, which could be called a unique skill in the music industry.
In order to make the mainstream society accept Zhou Libo, Guan Dongtian did his best, not only generously, but also ran around to socialize, solicit sponsorship, find relationships, and even gamble on his reputation to successfully obtain the government's performance approval.
In the same year, Zhou Libo held his first performance after his comeback at the Shanghai Lyceum Grand Theater, officially launching the new concept of "Shanghai Style Qingkou".
In 2008, under the careful planning of Guan Dongtian, Zhou Libo launched a special performance of "Thirty Years of Laughter", which quickly won the love of the audience and swept Shanghai with his witty and humorous eloquence and funny and vivid performance.
Whether in front of or behind the scenes, Guan Dongtian is Zhou Libo's best partner, he gives advice to Zhou Libo, writes jokes, serves as an art director, and even does not hesitate to lower his status and personally hosts him.
Zhou Libo's "Shanghai Style Qingkou" performance was once popular in Shanghai, and the performances were full, and it was difficult to find a ticket, and even some scalpers speculated the original ticket price to a sky-high price of 10,000 yuan and three tickets.
In just 31 performances, it attracted a total of 28,000 audiences, creating a box office myth of nearly 6.5 million yuan.
This series of successes has made Zhou Libo a cultural symbol in the minds of Shanghai citizens, and he has gained both fame and fortune, and he has never forgotten to publicly express his gratitude to his benefactor Guan Dongtian under the spotlight.
"Without Guan Dongtian, there would be no me Zhou Libo. Zhou Libo said that Guan Dongtian is a noble person in his life.
He called Guan Dongtian "big brother" in public more than once, and vowed that he would always be his "little brother".
He confessed affectionately: "Thank you for giving me a second spring in my career, and I give you a reason to hurt me for the rest of my life." Zhou Libo's admiration and gratitude for Guan Dongtian are beyond words, and the intimacy between the two even makes Zhou Libo's wife jealous.
In the early days of their cooperation, Zhou Libo and Guan Dongtian made several agreements to ensure that the unique charm of the art form of "Shanghai Style Qingkou" would continue.
They unanimously decided to only perform live in theaters in order to maintain the mystery and vigorous vitality of "Shanghai Style Qingkou", and at the same time explicitly refused to participate in any form of TV program recording and commercial endorsement activities, aiming to avoid the impact of excessive commercialization on artistic quality.
With the accumulation of fame and wealth, Zhou Libo's ambitions began to swell, and he was no longer satisfied with the original development model, eager to obtain greater business benefits.
Driven by interests, Zhou Libo gradually deviated from the original agreement, got involved in TV programs, took over commercial endorsements, and broke the rules jointly formulated with Guan Dongtian.
This kind of behavior that goes against the original intention has led to a rift in the relationship between the two, and the trust between them has gradually collapsed.
In the process of intensifying the conflict, Zhou Libo once posted a vague Weibo, hinting at his dissatisfaction with Guan Dongtian: "Ten years ago, a bowl of rice, you can't always serve abalone and shark fin every day, right?" Although this Weibo was quickly deleted, it undoubtedly revealed the subtle changes in the relationship between the two.
In 2010, the contradiction between Zhou Libo and Guan Dongtian finally reached the point of irreconcilability, and the two announced a complete break and parted ways.
After the breakdown of the relationship between the two, Zhou Libo's opening session of the show has changed significantly, and the role of the host previously played by Guan Dongtian has been replaced by a group of hot dancing girls, symbolizing the end of an era and also heralding the beginning of a new chapter in Zhou Libo's personal acting career.
【6】
satirized the entertainment industry, challenged the public's bottom line, and finally reaped the consequences
In the next few years, Zhou Libo's talk show career soared like a rocket.
He not only became the core judge of popular variety shows such as "China's Got Talent" and "China Dream Show", but his influence is increasing day by day, and he has further stepped into the film and television industry, and has participated in the filming of films such as "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2" and "Dragon and Phoenix Shop", trying to broaden his acting career.
In 2013, Zhou Libo was invited to serve as a judge of the "Brilliant Chinese" program with heavyweights such as Cai Ming and Jet Li.
With the rapid development of his career, Zhou Libo's arrogance and arrogance also swelled, until he reached the level of empty eyes.
He does not shy away from openly provoking many bigwigs in the entertainment industry, and almost no one is immune to his vitriol.
When the outside world called Zhou Libo and Guo Degang "Southern Zhou and Northern Guo", symbolizing the two talk show giants in the north and south, Zhou Libo showed strong dissatisfaction with this.
He put forward the famous "coffee garlic" theory to belittle Guo Degang's cross talk art, implying that Guo Degang's works are vulgar and exude "stink", while his "Shanghai-style clear mouth" is as "fragrant" and elegant as coffee.
Guo Degang was naturally not to be outdone, and fought back by creating cross talk "You Want to Be Elegant", and said sarcastically: "Some people spray perfume, but they can't cover up the smell of ZHA, elegance is not pretended, pretending to be a grandson." ”
Zhou Libo's path to self-destruction seems to be out of control.
He was also ruthless in his attack on Xu Zheng, and said bluntly: "The little brother is very decent to pretend to be a pig, but he is embarrassed to pretend to be a person!" For Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, two well-known directors, Zhou Libo even judged people by their appearance, and commented harshly: "People with ugly faces often do their work neatly. In addition, he also made fun of Jin Xing and Li Yugang, alluding to them as "fake women teaching others how to be good women on TV, and real men singing "Farewell My Concubine" on stage but charming and beautiful", which means that their gender characteristics are vague and nondescript.
Zhou Libo's poisonous tongue is not only aimed at celebrity peers, but also treats the general public with a high-minded posture.
He not only threw out the controversial "Internet public toilet" theory, but also launched fierce war of words with netizens several times.
In addition, Zhou Libo's suspected anti-counterfeiting in the talent show, "moral kidnapping" at the show site, and inappropriate ridicule of traditional Hanfu have repeatedly caused public outcry and challenged the bottom line of the public's patience.
At that time, Zhou Libo was immersed in self-absorbed arrogance, unaware that his words and deeds were digging a huge trap for himself.
Little did he know that one day he would have to pay a heavy price for his arrogance and ignorance.

Zhou Libo's remarks caused public anger, and his image collapsed and he moved to the United States
Zhou Libo, a celebrity who was once in the entertainment industry, recently made a series of inappropriate remarks and behaviors that completely collapsed his image.
He not only made derogatory remarks about the farmers on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which aroused strong dissatisfaction and abuse from the majority of netizens, but also exposed scandals such as cheating, drug abuse, and domestic violence by his wife Zhang Jie on family issues, which made people shocked.
Zhou Libo once said in public that the Spring Festival Gala was for farmers, and as soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused a strong response from all walks of life.
The power of public opinion is huge, and Zhou Libo's remarks were quickly reposted and commented on the Internet, and many netizens expressed anger and dissatisfaction with his remarks.
The People's Daily also criticized Zhou Libo's inappropriate remarks by name, pointing out that his remarks lacked respect and understanding for the peasants.
At the same time, Zhou Libo's wife Zhang Jie also published a long article on the Internet, accusing Zhou Libo of all kinds of evil deeds.
She accused Zhou Libo of cheating, taking drugs, and even committing domestic violence against her, and threatened to kill her son if she divorced.
Zhang Jie bluntly called Zhou Libo a "human ZHA" in the article, which made people question Zhou Libo's image greatly.
In the face of Zhang Jie's accusations, although Zhou Libo tried to defend himself, his defense pale in the face of real evidence.
What's even more shocking is that during this time, Zhou Libo also disclosed his new girlfriend Hu Jie, a rich woman.
This move undoubtedly exacerbated people's negative impression of him.
As Zhou Libo's image gradually collapsed, the programs he participated in were also controversial, and some remarks caused fierce debates among netizens.
Mainstream media such as the People's Daily have also criticized Zhou Libo at length, pointing out that his words and deeds have seriously damaged the image and reputation of public figures.
Zhou Libo, who couldn't get along in China, finally chose to move to the United States with Hu Jie.
Life in the United States did not go his way, and he was charged with illegal possession of firearms, drugs and other crimes, and many lawsuits were fought during this period.
These events further damaged Zhou Libo's image, and his career and life fell into a trough.
Looking back on Zhou Libo's series of events, I can't help but sigh: a star who was once infinitely beautiful, but because of his inappropriate words and deeds, he finally embarked on the road of despair.
It also reminds us that as public figures, we should pay more attention to our words and deeds, respect others, and cherish our image and reputation.

Zhou Libo's XD scandal was exposed, Hu Jie was bankrupt and released on bail, proving his innocence and reflexively ruining his reputation
At the beginning, in the face of his ex-wife's accusations about "XD", Zhou Libo swore that "even if I starve to death, I will not be contaminated with XD!" However, the reality slapped him in the face mercilessly, and soon after the news came out that Zhou Libo was arrested by the police in the United States on suspicion of "FD, XD".
Late one night in 2017, an anxious Hu Jie rushed to the detention center and paid a huge bail to bail Zhou Libo out of prison.
At the same time, she also hired a team of top lawyers to defend Zhou Libo.
Under the protection of the lawyer team, the case was finally closed as a "traffic accident", and Zhou Libo escaped legal punishment by chance.
During his stay in the United States, Zhou Libo was not only rumored to have accumulated wealth through "FD", but even involved in "selling Q", and accumulated a lot of wealth through these illegal means.
For Zhou Libo, who regards his reputation as his life, this is far from enough, and he is eager to be admired by domestic audiences.
originally thought that relying on the lawyer's whitewashing, he could continue to develop in China without being blocked.
Everywhere he went, rumors of "XD" were always around.
In order to prove his "innocence", Zhou Libo decided to go to the hospital for testing.
On that day, many reporters flocked to Zhou Libo to the hospital, and the test results showed that the D product ingredients in his body were seriously exceeded, which made Zhou Libo completely ruined, and finally ushered in the punishment he deserved.
Since then, Zhou Libo has been officially named and banned, as a public figure, he should pass on positive energy, instead of defying the law and risking the law.
In contrast, those who were once belittled and slandered by Zhou Libo are now living well.
On the other hand, Zhou Libo himself, who originally had an excellent starting point and resources, has now played a good hand of cards poorly, and has even been criticized by the central media by name, which has become a negative teaching material to warn others.
Zhou Libo has always been known for his harsh words and high-minded sarcasm of others, but in the end he ended up with chicken feathers.
Despite this, Hu Jie still firmly chose to be by Zhou Libo's side after he completely lost power.
Maybe this is true love, or maybe Zhou Libo does have some kind of charm that makes it difficult for them to give up.
Throughout Zhou Libo's life, you will find that he is smart, funny, and calculating, and has come to where he is today step by step with his professional strength and opportunities.
