One day in the winter of 2021, Zhao Wei, a once brilliant star in the Chinese entertainment industry, once again became the focus of heated discussions among all parties. This time, however, her situation was worse than ever, and her reputation slipped to an all-time low.
On that day, a man in a black T-shirt who identified himself as a family member of a victim of the Nanjing Massacre emotionally poured a bucket of foul-smelling liquid at Zhao Wei. In the process, the people around were all shocked by this scene.
Zhao Wei stood there quietly, her face and whole body covered with mottled filth, her eyes flashing with horror and despair.
She tried to wash the dirt from her face and body with tissues on both sides, but no matter how hard she tried, the swag still clinged to it. The atmosphere was oppressive and tense, and everyone watched it all quietly.
At the same time, this shocking incident quickly detonated a storm of online public opinion. The majority of netizens have used Weibo, forums and other social media platforms to lash out at Zhao Wei's past behavior, expressing their anger and disappointment.
They generally believe that the former star-studded big-name artist, who has long lost the trust of the people, has finally ushered in the punishment he deserves.
Looking back on Zhao Wei's past, she is indeed riddled with negative news. Earlier, she was accused by many netizens for involving scandals such as alcoholism and hurting people. Now, the "dung door" incident has made her reputation worse, and she has completely become a "sinner" spurned by everyone.
Behind the public's anger is undoubtedly a reflection of their years of grudge against the former superstar. Since the "pro-Japanese insult to China" scandal broke out in 2001, Zhao Wei has never been able to get rid of her misconduct.
Now that she has entered middle age, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to escape the shadow of all this.
In this storm of public opinion, Zhao Wei looked extremely confused and helpless. Her once brilliant acting career has now fallen into an unprecedented predicament and suffered a blow from a comprehensive ban.
The high-profile "Little Swallow" back then has now become a "sinner" that everyone shouts and beats, and everyone hates it.
After a lapse of more than two years, when we re-examine what happened to Zhao Wei, we can't help but ask: does she regret what she did in her heart? Or is she still a little lucky, looking forward to making a comeback? All this makes people deeply puzzled.
Back in time to 1998, Zhao Wei was at the peak of her life.
With her excellent acting skills and irresistible personal charm, she starred in the classic TV series "Huanzhu Gege" that swept the country and successfully attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers, making her instantly a superstar with both popularity and attention.
On the TV screen, the role of "Little Swallow" created by her is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has touched countless audiences. People were amazed by her talent and beauty, which propelled this girl from an ordinary family to the dazzling superstar stage.
Since then, Zhao Wei has become one of the most watched new generation actresses in the Chinese film and television industry. Her energetic, witty and humorous image is unforgettable. The audience's love for this "little swallow" can be said to have reached an unparalleled level.
In this vast world of performing arts, Zhao Wei is like a free bird, spreading her wings and soaring. Her career is thriving, winning the warm pursuit of the audience, and her future is bright.
For her at that time, this was undoubtedly the most glorious moment of her life.
However, just when Zhao Wei's career reached its peak, her fate suddenly changed dramatically. She is about to face a major scandal that will shake the entire entertainment industry, which has also become an important turning point in her career.
The "pro-Japanese humiliation of China" incident, which attracted widespread attention, will become a heavy burden that Zhao Wei will have to face in the future. Since then, her public image has collapsed in the minds of many and has embarked on a path of gradual decline.
The once radiant "little swallow" has now become a "sinner" condemned by everyone. What is the reason for this? Why did Zhao Wei's behavior at that time make the public so indignant? All this makes people feel confused, and at the same time, they can't help but make people creepy.
How could a superstar who was once a brilliant star fall into such a situation? Did she really not realize her mistakes? Or did she try to evade her responsibilities by luck? Zhao Wei's attitude in this crisis undoubtedly made people question and speculate more about her.
Just as Zhao Wei became a hot new-generation actress with "Huanzhu Gege", a "pro-Japanese insult to China" scandal that shook the entire entertainment industry became a major turning point in her career.
In 2001, Zhao Wei was invited to shoot a cover photo for the American fashion magazine "VOGUE". In this group of photos, she chose to wear a coat printed with the words "happiness" and "peace", which caused widespread controversy in all walks of life.
The words bear a surprising resemblance to the form of the Japanese flag, which immediately ignites anger in the hearts of the public!
Many followers have criticized Zhao Wei's "pro-Japanese and insulting China" behavior, believing that this is a great infringement of national honor, and it is also a mockery and distortion of historical facts. They excitedly expressed that as a Chinese citizen, Zhao Wei showed such an image of being close to Japan in internationally renowned publications, which was really intolerable.
Once the controversy ignited, it swept like a storm, and the overwhelming condemnation drowned out Zhao Wei. She quickly became a "sinner" who was criticized by the public, and the public's trust in her was gone.
However, surprisingly, in the face of such a fierce wave of criticism, Zhao Wei did not immediately stand up and apologize, but chose to remain silent. It was not until December 2001 that she finally mustered up the courage to publicly apologize.
However, it was too late by now, and her seemingly sincere apology failed to win the public's understanding.
On the other hand, Zhao Wei actually tried to put all the blame on the filming team, and this irresponsible attitude undoubtedly further intensified the public's anger. In the eyes of the public, she not only made the wrong choice, but also refused to take due responsibility after making mistakes, which is undoubtedly another injury to their patriotic feelings.
Since then, Zhao Wei has completely lost public support, and her once brilliant image has collapsed in an instant. This scandal of "pro-Japanese humiliation of China" has become a major turning point in her acting career.
The big star who was once a household name has now become a "sinner" spurned by everyone. In the public mind, she has since become an unforgivable "sinner" who can no longer be forgiven and understood.
Such a drastic change in fate is really amazing.
The haze of "pro-Japanese humiliation of China" has always lingered, and began to gradually devour Zhao Wei's acting career. In the eyes of the public, she has since become a "sinner" and can no longer be forgiven and understood.
Just when people thought that the controversy would eventually subside, new negative news poured in, constantly exacerbating Zhao Wei's predicament.
In August 2021, Zhao Wei's film masterpiece "To Youth" suddenly disappeared from the release date list without a trace, and no hot topics about the film could be found on Sina Weibo!
This undoubtedly reveals the brutal fact that Zhao Wei's meticulously constructed vast entertainment empire is gradually crumbling and disintegrating. Huang Xiaoming, a friend who had a close working relationship with him, was also keenly aware of the seriousness of the situation and decisively deleted all posts related to Zhao Wei, so as not to fall into this storm of public opinion.
According to Tianyancha's authoritative data, 6 of the 14 companies in which Zhao Wei is a legal person or the main person in charge have been cut off from their lifelines, and only 3 are still struggling to support, but they are also facing as many as 2,302 potential risks.
This means that the business territory she has worked hard to build for many years is disappearing in an instant.
The queen who once dominated the entertainment industry is now on the verge of bankruptcy. This is really embarrassing, in this tempting industry, if you can't always maintain a high degree of vigilance and a clear head, even the most outstanding artist will not escape the fate of falling into the endless abyss.
Zhao Wei is in the middle of it, and the career kingdom she was once proud of is collapsing sharply. For a woman who is almost 50 years old, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow. All the brilliant achievements she had made in the past had come to naught in an instant, and the pain of losing everything would probably fill her heart with endless helplessness and despair.
Looking back on Zhao Wei's life course, it is not difficult for us to find that she is paying a heavy price for her past wrongdoings. used to be one of the most dazzling stars in the entertainment industry, but now she is so down, which is really emotional.
In this rapidly changing era, the entertainment industry has become more transparent and fair. Any illegal and immoral behavior may lead to the artist losing public support, and even being severely punished by the law.
Zhao Wei's experience is the best confirmation of this.
Zhao Wei's unfortunate experience makes us deeply understand that the reason why she took the wrong path and fell into such a situation is mainly because she has not been guided by the correct values for a long time!
In this big dye vat full of endless temptation - the entertainment industry, if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss of no return. It is far from enough to rely on excellent acting skills alone, we need to have abundant wisdom and perseverance, and always maintain high moral sentiments and a strong sense of law.
Otherwise, if you miss the slightest, you will fall from the glorious heaven to the bottomless hell in an instant.
Zhao Wei's experience undoubtedly sounded the alarm for all people in the entertainment industry. She once became a household name superstar, but in the end she became a "sinner" condemned by everyone.
Such ups and downs are really suffocating.
The fundamental reason is that at the peak of her career, Zhao Wei aroused strong public indignation because of the "pro-Japanese insult to China" scandal. However, her coping strategy at that time undoubtedly further exacerbated the negative effect of public opinion, causing her to completely lose the trust of the public.
Since then, she has been involved in a series of negative news incidents such as drunken injuries and casting controversies, constantly challenging the moral bottom line of society.
Seeing that the career kingdom she had built with her own hands was about to fall apart, Zhao Wei, who was nearly half a hundred years old, was probably already full of self-doubt and remorse at this time. In her journey to pursue her dreams, she ignored the red lines of morality and law, which eventually led to today's tragedy.
Today's entertainment industry has become more transparent and fair. Any violation of law and discipline and violation of public order and good customs may cause the artist to lose public support and even face severe punishment by law.
The blind pursuit and worship of idols has long since ceased to be accepted by today's society.
From Zhao Wei's experience, we must think deeply: in this tempting entertainment industry, adhering to noble moral sentiments and a strong sense of law is far more important than outstanding performance strength.
Only by sticking to the bottom line at all times can artists move forward steadily on this vast stage and avoid repeating Zhao Wei's mistakes.
The reason why human beings have been able to climb to the pinnacle of life is precisely because of the solid backing of unwavering values and the unassailable power of faith. However, once these two pillars are lost, even if they were once bright stars in the film and television industry, they will inevitably fall into a catastrophe after all.
I sincerely hope that every friend with dreams must sum up the lessons and lessons from the Zhao Wei incident, always maintain a high degree of vigilance, defend the supreme dignity of morality, ethics and laws and regulations, move forward bravely, and pursue a better future!
