"I know that many young people in Hong Kong worship the idols of this society, and I have not become a role model in this regard, but I hope that this event can educate everyone, especially the young people in our society, I think what I have done is not an example for you to learn, during the time I left, I made a very important decision, I will fulfill all my commitments, after this, I will completely withdraw from the entertainment circle in Hong Kong, I made this decision to teach myself a lesson, To heal my own wounds and my own soul, I will use some time to do charity work. —Chen Guanxi's apology
Now, 13 years later, does anyone still remember the spirited, bad-smiling teenager?
Once a teenager, opened the "Pandora's box" of Hong Kong entertainment
In 2008, it seems that it did not stop. Looking back now, it seems that just like now, the ice disaster, the earthquake, and the Beijing Olympics all occurred this year. The "nude photos gate" that shocked the entertainment industry also occurred in this year, and the image of Hong Kong entertainment completely collapsed in this year.
On January 26, 2008, netizen Qina uploaded photos of Chen Guanxi and Zhong Xintong's private room in the adult sticker area of the "Hong Kong Discussion Forum" in the Tianya community, which triggered a network sensation for several consecutive days, and Hong Kong entertainment collapsed instantly, until February 5, finally found the real culprit behind this matter, but the collapsed Hong Kong entertainment is still a chicken feather, unable to clean up.
At 3 p.m. on 21 February 2008, Chan returned to Hong Kong and held a press conference at the Kowloonbay Trade & Exhibition Centre to apologize to the public.
The impact of this incident is not only in Hong Kong and the mainland.
Western mainstream media such as the British "Independent", the American "Wall Street Journal", and the Australian "Sydney Morning Herald" have almost all made detailed reports with the title of "Hong Kong artists admit their mistakes and withdraw from the entertainment industry". CNN also repeatedly broadcast the scene of Chen Guanxi's press conference on the 22nd.
Germany's Frankfurt Review newspaper reported that since the end of January, Hong Kong's entertainment industry and the online world of Chinese mainland have been in an "extraordinary state" because of indecent photos of Chen Guanxi and his female companion. And in the text, he said, "Imagine this: After you send your personal computer for repair, your indecent photos and photos of you will start circulating on the Internet." It's painful and embarrassing, isn't it? Imagine again: you are still a star, and the 1300 indecent photos on your computer are all passionate scenes with some well-known female singers. You now understand the feelings of Hong Kong actor and entertainer Chen Guanxi. ”
A leaked nude photos scandal is like Pandora's box, and once opened, it's hard to close again. Tam Wing Lin, president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, said.
As Chen Guanxi apologized to the public and announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, he finally let the boiling "nude photos gate" incident temporarily stop.
However, the image of Hong Kong entertainment has collapsed, and many people will point to one of the actresses inside when they go to see Hong Kong entertainment movies again, thinking, "Is she?" Is there any her? ”
The chaos of Hong Kong entertainment has always been like this, but no one has opened this "Pandora's box", and Chen Guanxi only unveiled a black veil in the incident, so that more people can see - "The original Hong Kong entertainment is like this!" ”
It is impossible to stay away from right and wrong
What about Chen Guanxi? What will the man who opens the "Pandora's Box" face next?
In 2000, Zhang Guorong filmed the public welfare film "Smoke And Smoke", at that time, Chen Guanxi had just debuted, and zhang Guorongzhong invited her to play a new singer in the play, and Mei Yanfang, who played an agent in the film, told him in the film: "The image of an artist is very important. If you don't mess around and there's no negative news, you'll be fine. ”
This sentence...
It seems that it is not the line in the play, but a sincere reminder and a kind advice to Chen Guanxi, but it seems to be Chen Guanxi's fate that cannot be reversed.
There are too many labels on Chen Guanxi's body, and each label can be said to be the ultimate, handsome, leprosy, bad, tide, cool, crazy, self, free...
But all the labels were covered up by another label on that day in 2008.
If a person has made a mistake once, all his good cannot be resisted.
This is a bit like the law, if you have committed a crime, then no matter how many good deeds you have done, it will not be a reason for your crime, and it will not offset the punishment for your crime.
Of course, this is not a crime, but morality still has his standard of judgment, and the result of this trial is often more profound than the law.
In the next five years, ten years, and even today, 13 years have passed, chen Guanxi is still a judge.
Chen Guanxi, the next ten years, and the next twenty years
"There is only one kind of success in the world, and that is to be able to live your life in the way you like." --Chen Guanxi
In 2011, RZA, a member of the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan, arranged a role for Chen Guanxi in his movie "Iron Fist". Because the film was to be filmed in China and needed to go through the approval process, RZA received a notice: "Chen Guanxi cannot appear in your film."
RZA called Chen Guanxi: "Yo, man, did you kill someone in China?"
Chen Guanxi was silent, he didn't know how to answer.
In June 2017, Chen Guanxi planned to hold a concert in Shenzhen, and the most expensive ticket only sold for 680 yuan, only half of the other singers, but just before the performance, the audience received a notice of concert cancellation.
In 2019, after the movie "Clouds Made of Rain in the Wind" was sent for review, director Lou Ye was asked to cut out all the stories about "Old A".
He participated in the Hong Kong Marathon, known as the most difficult track in Asia, and ran a time of 3 hours, 55 minutes and 46 seconds, which is the top level among amateur runners, but the Hong Kong And Malaysia Organizing Committee cancelled his results.
So he said, "No matter what I do, people will only see the bad me, and they only want to see the bad me, and the world doesn't want me to be a good person." ”
………………
There are so many such things that happened to Chen Guanxi, and he can only bear it in silence, and think that this is a punishment that he deserves.
But, he has something else...
In 2017, Chen Guanxi's Chaopai took tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars of investment from Hupu, and the entire company advanced towards the operation of the capital level.
That is also the year that Chen Guanxi got married, gave birth to a daughter, and became a father.
In 2018, he conducted a performance art called "My Pull and Eat Here" at the Ullens Center for Modern Art in Beijing. For three days, the ticket is 260 yuan, and each person stays for 5 minutes.
A glass room of about 20 square meters, with beds, sofas, workbenches, daily necessities scattered at will, the whole space is like a bedroom, and the wall reads: When you look at me, I am also looking at you.
Chen Guanxi stayed inside for three whole days.
Chen Guanxi, looking back, is no longer a teenager.
"Fame at a young age gives rise to an almost mysterious definition of 'fate' rather than 'will.'" Attribute everything you get to fate and take it for granted. - The Great Gatsby
Some people say that every bystander has his own yardstick for discussing right and wrong, but whether at the spiritual level or the legal level, it is undeniable that Chen Guanxi is also a victim.
"I apologize to all the ladies involved and their families who have suffered any harm, sorry. I would like to say sorry to all Hong Kong citizens. As a role model for young people, I am a failure, and this is not an example for you to follow. ”
When asked what the most important moment in his life was, Chen Guanxi did not shy away from saying that it was the moment of the accident in 2008.
"It's not a Curse, it's a Blessing." I'm a thousand percent sure. Because I saw a lot of things clearly, I really found myself in this matter. ”
From young and crazy, to mature and stable, from full of vigor, to being abandoned by the world, from being popular and purple, to falling thousands of feet, from falling thousands of feet, and being calm everywhere.
We can objectively say that Chen Guanxi is not a model for us to learn, not a model for us to learn, once he gave countless young people that kind of debauchery, young and crazy, wanton and free values, but also many men joked that "be like Chen Guanxi".
On the other hand, he unveiled the fig leaf of some people, a circle. And he himself is a victim, at least he is passive, and we have no way to judge how his private life is, but he really does not want to threaten to persecute anyone with those things.
After the incident, he apologized head-on, to all those who were influenced by him, to those who were associated with the incident, and then silently endured everything, one year, two years, five years, ten years, to this day, it is still the case.
We cannot say that he is an example, but he has not committed a crime, has not touched the bottom line of the law, or even touched the bottom line of morality.
For the public, people do not have a deep hatred for Chen Guanxi, there is no hatred, on the contrary, many people just think that this is lace, many years have passed, and even some people will feel sorry for Chen Guanxi, after all, he did not commit a crime, what he did did not touch the bottom line.
Hong Kong, that era, that place, that culture may have been like that, and the darker ones would never be revealed.
How to sweep the chicken feathers of Hong Kong entertainment can no longer be swept clean, but compared with the chicken blood of the internal entertainment, Hong Kong entertainment has really not been worth mentioning over the years.
Internal entertainment, except for a place of chicken blood, what else?
In 2021, dubbed the first year of internal entertainment, one melon after another, melon fell to the ground and fell to pieces. Wave after wave, the waves are surging and dizzying.
Wu Yifan, not to mention, this will be estimated to be nesting through the two square meters of windows looking up at the starry sky, may also be in the bathroom to pick up soap ...
Zheng Shuang, surrogacy, tax evasion, this person is not worthy of evaluation
Zhao Wei, deleted the "Communist Youth League Central Committee" Weibo, empty gloves white wolf, many times illegal harvesting of shareholders...
Zhao Liying and Wang Yibo were interviewed at the studio;
Hua Chenyu, Zhang Bichen, Qian Feng, Chen He, Xue Zhiqian, Gao Xiaosong, Fan Bingbing, Huang Haibo, Article..................
Common denominator: they are all making mistakes, even committing crimes, apologizing, apologizing and then committing again.
Like Zheng Shuang, a person who only has an average score of no more than 5 points, but holds a film salary of 160 million yuan for a drama, he is still evading taxes, and he also brazenly said in his apology letter that he has "insufficient financial knowledge and shallow legal awareness"...
This can no longer be said, not as good as a green tea, at least green tea does not have to set up a memorial arch.
The others, one is not as good as the other, harvesting fans, playing with public opinion, manipulating the stock market, people in front of a beautiful body, behind the back full of and urine.
At least these people, no one deserves forgiveness, no one deserves sympathy.
Not even a single person can stand up well, courageously, dignifiedly, and personally apologize to the public.
They are not as good as Chen Guanxi
In 2008, Chen Guanxi confessed his mistake and stood in front of the public to admit his mistake, we can see his sincerity, thirteen years later, he used his words and deeds to "atone for the bad influence" he caused, although he did not commit a crime.
And now, inner entertainment, the beautiful flowers that grow in this land of civilization, look at what you have done?
Some people say that the entertainment industry is very chaotic, chaotic to make you terrible, we didn't think so before, now think about it is not a careful thought?
Inner entertainment, in addition to the dirty chicken blood in a place, where is there a clean place?
They are really not as good as Chen Guanxi!
