Preface
He used to be a well-known first-line host, relying on a "three-inch tongue" to earn enough money in the entertainment industry and live a luxurious life of fine clothes and food.
However, why did this popular host finally set himself on fire, rushed all the way down, and embarked on a "road of no return"? Let's find out.
The glory and wealth of the peak
Ten years ago, Zhou Libo could be described as a leader among popular hosts.
Relying on his witty and humorous speech skills and unique hosting style, he has become a well-known first-line star in the entertainment industry.
With the continuous rise of fame and income, Zhou Libo has become more and more arrogant and extravagant.
His pursuit of fine food, wine, and expensive clothes has reached the point of madness.
Every day, I drink imported specialty coffee and smoke high-quality expensive cigars; Clothes, shoes and hats are basically luxury brands of more than 50,000 yuan, and they have to be renewed every quarter; Even the diet is top-notch mountain and sea delicacies, and nutritional supplements such as bird's nest, wild mushrooms, and black caviar are available every day.
The cost of this extravagant and wasteful life can be imagined.
In Zhou Libo's eyes, all this is what he deserves and deserves.
After all, his talented mouth can earn him tens of millions of dollars a year.
What's more, Zhou Libo was also born in a wealthy family, and he has been influenced by brocade clothes and jade food since he was a child.
Therefore, for him, such a luxurious and erosive day is nothing.
Not only is life so luxurious, but even the circle of friends is extremely high-end.
Zhou Libo made enemies everywhere, and always put on a high-minded posture for those "nobodies" he couldn't look down on.
The people he made friends with were all people with heads and faces and extremely high status.
To a certain extent, he has developed an extremely arrogant and arrogant temperament.
Showing off wealth and belittling Guo Degang caused public anger
Even his rhetoric on the stage is extremely arrogant, revealing disdain for others and high self-esteem everywhere.
At that time, Guo Degang's Deyun Club was also booming, and was compared with Zhou Libo by many audiences.
After all, both of them rely on humor and eloquence to win the audience's love, and they are at the peak of the same career, and the audience hopes to see their cooperation, so there is a saying that "there is Zhou Libo in the south and Guo Degang in the north".
But this caused Zhou Libo's extreme dissatisfaction.
When asked if he had any plans to cooperate with Guo Degang, he said unabashedly that he was elegant and belonged to people who drank imported coffee, and Guo Degang was just a vulgar person who ate garlic, how could the two cooperate.
These remarks were undoubtedly belittling the peasants, and they were showing off their wealth and contempt for Guo Degang to the fullest.
Although Guo Degang came from a humble background, he is also a respected scholar in the world, and Zhou Libo's arrogant and presumptuous remarks naturally attracted a lot of abuse.
Later, Cao Yunjin also used the color for the master, sarcastically saying: "People who drink coffee naturally have a taste in their mouths." And Guo Degang's response was even wiser and more powerful: "Elegance is not pretending, grandson is."
In the face of provocation, neither of them nor their apprentices showed weakness to Zhou Libo.
scolded the two of them for turning vulgar
And that's not all.
While belittling Guo Degang, Zhou Libo also criticized the two-person performance in the Spring Festival Gala, shouting that "the two-person turn is indecent, only farmers can watch it".
It is not difficult to see his contemptuous attitude towards the peasants and the lower classes.
Such remarks are tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation.
After all, in traditional Chinese culture, the performance of two-person opera is highly respected.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that they are the most elegant and quintessential art forms.
Zhou Libo dared to slander so arrogantly, which is tantamount to desecration of Chinese culture and arrogance and contempt for the common people of the world.
Such arrogant and arrogant postures finally completely angered the audience.
And this was precisely the beginning of the fall of his career.
Helping to be a teacher of abuse
In addition to all kinds of arrogance and domineering to the outside world, Zhou Libo did not give face to his relatives and friends.
Due to dropping out of school at an early age, Zhou Libo devoted himself to his acting career, and later became the apprentice of veteran actor Zhou Bochun when he was in the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe.
The teacher loved him in every way, and praised this student's excellent character and learning.
Unexpectedly, when Zhou Libo made enough money and fame in his career, he refused to admit even this teacher.
Every time he was asked about his teacher's inheritance, he always proudly declared that he was "self-taught" and "had never studied with a teacher".
As an apprentice, it is really chilling for such an ungrateful veteran artist to abandon his mentor so ungratefully.
However, this is also in line with Zhou Libo's distorted character and his character of regarding money, fame and fortune as supreme.
Hit the future father-in-law
Even treats his family, Zhou Libo is extremely ruthless.
This can be seen from his love experience with his first wife Zhang Jie.
Back then, Zhang Jie's father resolutely opposed this marriage with the wrong door and family, believing that Zhou Libo was not a good person.
But Zhou Libo actually beat up his future father-in-law because of this, and was sentenced to prison for more than 200 days on a sewing machine.
Thankfully, Zhang Jie ended up marrying him.
However, this marriage was destined to not last long, and it only lasted for two years before ending in divorce.
前妻宽恕前科背叛娶小三
After the divorce, Zhou Libo started a business and made a lot of money.
But in the end, due to various reasons, not only did he lose a huge amount of money, but he also took on a lot of debts and had to go to Japan to escape debts.
In Japan, Zhou Libo unexpectedly discovered that his ex-wife Zhang Jie had re-established a family and had a new husband and children.
At that time, he had nothing and no money, and his former glory and wealth had long since disappeared.
Seeing his ex-wife's happy and stable life now, Zhou Libo couldn't help but feel heartbroken and began to regret all kinds of wrongdoings he had treated her.
So, with his eloquence, Zhou Libo waited for the door again and begged Zhang Jie to change his mind.
For some reason, Zhang Jie was really instigated by his rhetoric and chose to divorce and leave the house, just to get back together with this bad old man.
With Zhang Jie's help, Zhou Libo gradually paid off his huge debts, made a comeback, and started his new career in the entertainment industry.
But just when his career was rising, his married life fell into crisis again.
Repeat the mistakes of the past to show off the junior
At the beginning of 2010, Zhou Libo had divorced Zhang Jie.
At the end of the year, he held a grand wedding with Hu Jie, a wealthy businessman who was born in his heart, and introduced his new love to the world openly.
All this made his ex-wife Zhang Jie heartbroken.
After all, she not only forgave Zhou Libo's previous conviction of beating her father, but also married this broken man desperately, and finally helped him through the most difficult period of his life with sincerity.
Who would have thought that after she paid such a heavy price, Zhou Libo would take revenge so kindly, and he couldn't wait to leave her behind and embrace his new love.
In this regard, Zhang Jie was extremely angry and sad, and finally made up her mind and issued a long roar to public opinion.
The ex-wife broke the news about many of his bad deeds
With the title of "Give Me Back Twenty Years of Youth", she exposed for the first time many exciting details and disgraceful sides of Zhou Libo in addition to making money in the entertainment industry.
According to Zhang Jie, Zhou Libo's private life style is extremely erosive and misbeneficial.
He is a typical "uncle" style, poor and extravagant, relying on his wife's management and service for eating and drinking, and he will be furious at the slightest neglect, punching and kicking, and verbally threatening his wife, he is really a fighter among the scum.
In addition, Zhang Jie also had evidence pointing out that Zhou Libo had drug abuse and other illegal acts.
Of course, he will never admit these transgressions, but it is difficult to deceive the world.
The disrepute sparked public outrage
In this way, the once highly regarded Zhou Libo fell from the altar to the mortal world overnight.
In the face of his ex-wife's "fierce news" revelations, he also became the target of public criticism in an instant, and was scolded by tens of thousands of people in public opinion.
All pride and arrogance came to naught at this moment, and the career collapsed in response, falling into a state of no return.
It can be seen that all his achievements and joys in the past were based on illusion and extreme self-aggrandizement.
Once the foundations of money and vanity are swept away, he exposes the darkness, paranoia, and horror of his heart.
A wandering figure at the point of no return
In desperation, Zhou Libo moved abroad with his wife Hu Jie and temporarily escaped the pressure of domestic public opinion.
But even abroad, he could not escape the fate of being arrested by the police.
In 2017, Zhou Libo was imprisoned for possession of contraband and weapons.
The official finally couldn't stand his various bad behaviors, listed him as a "bad artist" and banned his account.
Since then, the former smash hit host has finally completely lost all possibilities for a comeback in China.
After a few years, someone inadvertently met Zhou Libo today.
I saw that he was already a man who didn't eat oil and salt, tired and haggard, embarrassed, and old.
And how could the once high-spirited and arrogant "presiding king" have such a miserable end?
epilogue
In this way, a career as a host who could have been incomparably dazzling, but in the end, because of his unpretentious conduct and arrogant character, he came to a miserable ending that could be called black.
Zhou Libo's own experience, just like the title of this self-reported article, is destined to be gone forever, and there is no way back in the entertainment industry from now on.
