Nie Yuan didn't expect that in an interview when he was in his early 30s, he said:
"I admit it, I have machismo", and after the age of 40, it will become a bullet that repeatedly hits the center of my eyebrows.
He didn't expect that in the public's discussion, this bullet also had a clear price: 3 million.
Nie Yuan was once again pushed into the field of public opinion because of machismo.
The reason is that some netizens broke out that Nie Yuan would give his wife 3 million every month as "living expenses". Even though Nie Yuan himself did not come forward to reply, this topic still caused a large area of discussion.
In this hot spot, there are many keywords that are very popular at the moment: male power, money, and women who sacrifice their jobs for their families.
Opinions are divided into two schools, one is that even if there are 3 million, it is unbearable for people to stand Nie Yuan's machismo;
The other group sighed: 3 million are there, what else is unbearable.
Nie Yuan, his wife Qin Ziyue and their daughter
The topic became more and more intense, and then it was picked up again that three years ago, Nie Yuan and his wife participated in a reality show called "The Man Who Does Housework".
In the show, Nie Yuan showed a very typical image of "the head of the family":
When preparing for the recording, he didn't let his wife Qin Ziyue dress up, insisted on letting the other party wear home clothes, and said: "Tell you again, don't be deliberate, the more Qin Zi listens to me." Such extremely self-contained statements.
When talking about having to give up her career because she was busy with housework in the past few years, Qin Ziyue, who graduated from Chinese opera and was in the same class as Tong Liya, choked up for a while, and Nie Yuan, who was sitting on the side, was not only uncomfortable, but also said to her bluntly:
"Don't be emotional, it's not necessary. ”

In addition, on the day of the recording, Qin Ziyue's family made a table of meals and waited for Nie Yuan to eat, after the meal was ready, Nie Yuan did not go downstairs for a long time, and after Qin Ziyue went upstairs and knocked on the door many times, and the meal was heated repeatedly, Nie Yuan was late.
At the dinner table, Nie Yuan mentioned the idea of wanting a second child, and Qin Ziyue tentatively suggested whether he could let the second child take his surname, and Nie Yuan immediately refused: "Chinese have Chinese traditions. ”
Under the accumulation of these details, Nie Yuan was labeled as overly self-conscious, incapable of empathy, disrespectful of women and traditional Chinese men, and pushed into the whirlpool of public opinion.
Prior to this, he relied on the reputation he gained with the TV series "Yanxi Raiders", and was beaten back to the prototype by this variety show overnight, and many netizens even ridiculed him: "I have played too many emperors, and I have played them in life." ”
In terms of housework, Nie Yuan has also received positive reviews.
Huang Yi, who had been in love with Nie Yuan, commented on him after the breakup: "He takes care of his own affairs very well, washing clothes and cooking, he does it very well, I think he is very capable." ”
Nie Yuan, who was in his 20s, replied: "This is a habit that cannot be formed, I am not the kind of person who likes to do housework." ”
Nie Yuan's old interview
He admits more bluntly: "I just have machismo, others may not dare to say it, but I dare to say it." ”
On the other hand, as a wife, Qin Ziyue did not resist Nie Yuan's arbitrariness, she said: "I think many traditional Chinese girls also like it." ”
In 2014, at the wedding of the two, Qin Ziyue asked Nie Yuan: "I am willing to be your wife, are you willing to eat the food I cook and wear the clothes I wash?"
Qin Ziyue talked about Nie Yuan
It seems that in this marriage, Nie Yuan's "male" cannot be denied, but Qin Ziyue did not resist this mode of getting along.
Husbands and wives get along with each other, and when they are outside, others will never be able to make accurate judgments, not to mention, married life is not a multiple-choice question, but an answer question.
Before marrying Qin Ziyue, Nie Yuan had another marriage.
Around 2006, through a friend's introduction, Nie Yuan met Wang Hui, who was also an actor, and the two fell in love for a while and registered their marriage at the end of 2007.
For marriage, Nie Yuan has always adhered to the traditional concept of "the wife is inside, and the husband is outside".
On the one hand, he said he wanted to live "a day when I get home, with hot meals and clean clothes."
Interview with Nie Yuan
On the other hand, Nie Yuan believes that in the crew, actors are easy to have feelings:
"If we were both filming, we might not be able to see each other, so if she stopped filming, she could come to the crew to accompany me, and many things would not be possible. ”
Interview with Nie Yuan
After marriage, at the request of Nie Yuan, Wang Hui gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, except for co-starring with Nie Yuan in the TV series "Journey to the West" in 2011, playing Chang'e, most of the time, her energy is invested in the family.
Interestingly, Nie Yuan's second wife, Qin Ziyue, also participated in this "Journey to the West" and played the role of "Jade-faced Fox".
In the second marriage, Qin Ziyue once complained that Nie Yuan was "too straight": "It's not romantic at all, and I haven't even given me flowers."
But when he is in love with Wang Hui, the 29-year-old Nie Yuan occasionally creates some romance.
When the two were not away, Nie Yuan would secretly hide a bracelet at the bottom of Wang Hui's suitcase, with a handwritten card, and also hid a ring in the egg tart.
When the two attended the interview show together, Nie Yuan never hid his liking for Wang Hui.
Nie Yuan and his ex-wife Wang Hui
Unfortunately, this marriage lasted less than 3 years, and in 2012, the two announced their divorce due to discord in their lives, often quarreling, and even fighting.
This is not the first time Nie Yuan has been involved in a physical conflict in a relationship.
When he was in love with Huang Yi back then, Nie Yuan once co-produced "The Wrong Sedan Chair to Marry the Right Lang" with her, and once the two fought at the scene, Huang Yi pulled Nie Yuan's headgear off, and Nie Yuan ripped off Huang Yi's headflower.
Part of the reason why the two broke up was that Nie Yuan couldn't stand Huang Yi being in the crew and filming some more intimate plots.
Nie Yuan and Huang Yi
Unlike parting ways after divorcing Wang Hui, after breaking up with Huang Yi, Nie Yuan still maintained friendly contact with him.
In 2014, Huang Yi made a fuss because of his divorce from her ex-husband Huang Yiqing, and Nie Yuan also publicly supported Huang Yi.
In front of his wife Qin Ziyue, Nie Yuan never shy away from talking about his ex-girlfriend, and when the three of them were interviewed by Lu Yu together, there was a plate of hairy crabs that Nie Yuan specially asked someone to send on the table.
When faced with Lu Yu's praise for crab vinegar, Nie Yuan replied: "Didn't I fall in love with Huang Yi, this crab vinegar was what she taught me." ”
These details also seem to prove Nie Yuan's character: he is absolutely traditional when he treats his lovers, and he is righteous enough to treat his friends.
For ordinary people, this may just be a difference in personality, but for a public figure, it means that his views and actions need to be subject to more scrutiny and deconstruction, and if he is not careful, there will be deviations.
Looking back at Nie Yuan's career and life, this is indeed confirmed.
In 2000, Nie Yuan graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy.
In the first few months after he walked out of campus, he had few job opportunities, except for occasional filming, most of the time, Nie Yuan lived a life of going out to surf the Internet, going home to sleep, and waiting for opportunities.
There is no money in his pocket, he never reaches out to his family, friends come to Nie Yuan from other places, even if he borrows money, Nie Yuan will treat each other well.
Interview with Nie Yuan
At that time, he was in love with Huang Yi, and once, Huang Yi got the opportunity to audition for the TV series "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang", she handed in Nie Yuan's photos together, and the two were both selected by the director to play "Li Yuhu" and "Qi Tianlei" in the play respectively.
"Military Art School Grass" Sha Yi also ran for this role, but unfortunately lost the election, and finally played the role of "Sha Pingwei".

"Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" became a hit that year, and also pushed Nie Yuan, who starred in a TV series for the first time, to the position of the hottest new generation actor.
In an interview, someone asked Nie Yuan, who was in his early 20s, how he thought of his popularity, and he scratched his head and said, "Probably because I was lucky." ”
After all, whether it is to become an actor or to be admitted to the play, it is not in Nie Yuan's childhood plan.

Nie Yuan is a child who grew up by the river, he was born in an ancient town called Zhenyuan in Guizhou, and his parents named their two sons after the town, the elder brother was called Nie Zhen, and the younger brother was called Nie Yuan.
In 1993, in order to "get rid of" the discipline of his parents, Nie Yuan applied for the Guizhou Art School far from his hometown.
Before that, he had not studied any art, and with only a set of radio gymnastics and a naturally good posture, he won the first place and entered the dance major.
Nie Yuan was a child
After graduating, he could have joined the troupe, but after thinking about it, he felt that dancing was not a long-term solution. At the suggestion of his sister, he applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy and became a classmate of Hao Lei and Yao Qianyu.
In that year, more than 5,000 students applied for the opera performance major, and only 27 were finally admitted.
Nie Yuan took a group photo with his college classmates
In the play, Nie Yuan is a well-known "bad element".
Soon after entering the school, Nie Yuan bought a motorcycle, often rode a bicycle and wore sunglasses, and appeared on the campus with a bang.
In the four years of college, Nie Yuan was punished for various reasons: lighting candles in the dormitory, secretly going out to film, fighting with students from other schools, and the most serious one, he was almost expelled from the school.
But in the eyes of his classmates, he is enthusiastic, righteous, and the popular king of the class, Huang Yi said that he decided to fall in love with him at the beginning, but also because he was "sunny, healthy, helpful and positive".
At that time, Nie Yuan was the student who received the most advertisements in the class, so he also had the most living expenses, and whoever had no money in the class would always ask him to borrow money, so Nie Yuan directly gave the card to his classmates.
Nie Yuan's old photo
When filming commercials, he often helps his classmates to live, and he will always be the first to jump out and recommend his classmates when there are few actors in any commercial.
After graduating, Nie Yuan moved from Shanghai to live in Beijing, and as one of the first people in his class to become popular, he would send text messages to his classmates in school, inviting everyone to come and develop together, and even providing accommodation for each other.
Even his wife Qin Ziyue once sighed: "He is good to me, but he is better to his friends." ”
Because of this character, after entering the entertainment industry, Nie Yuan has accumulated a lot of friends, coupled with his acting skills and popularity, it stands to reason that Nie Yuan should always be in the first echelon of mainland actors.
But it was precisely because of his impulsive personality that Nie Yuan took the wrong step and missed the opportunity at a critical juncture in his career.
Nowadays, when talking about Nie Yuan's career, people will always use the word "drive high and go low" to describe it.
Soon after becoming popular with "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", he successively performed many film and television works, including "The Granary of the World", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and became the "No. 1 costume student in the mainland" in the mouth of the media.
In 2003, Nie Yuan, whose career and popularity were booming, was also known as the "New Four Elementary School Students in the Mainland" together with Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, and Yin Xiaotian.
It's just that Nie Yuan didn't understand a truth at that time: in the entertainment industry, although fame comes quickly, it is not easy to keep it, and the way he once went on a rampage in college is not useful here.

In 2004, Zhang Jizhong planned to remake "The Condor Heroes", the actor of Xiaolongnu chose Liu Yifei, but the actor Yang Guo has been undecided.
In that year, the candidates were Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan, objectively speaking, Nie Yuan had a better chance of winning.
At that time, the thickness and popularity of Huang Xiaoming's costume works were slightly inferior to Nie Yuan, starting from the makeup trial, the information given to Nie Yuan by the crew was that he was the most suitable actor.
Nie Yuan auditioned for "The Condor Heroes"
In the final voting session, Nie Yuan was rejected by Zhang Jizhong by one vote and missed "The Condor Heroes".
Nie Yuan also complained indignantly in an interview: "I always thought that this was competition based on strength, so I worked hard wholeheartedly, but in the end I found that hard work is useless, there are too many insiders in it." ”
Sometimes I have to sigh that a person's fortune may suddenly change at a certain point. After Yang Guo failed in the competition, Nie Yuan's anger seemed to have been knocked down by half.
Soon, he ushered in a trifecta in his private life.
First, in 2006, Liu Yun "accused" Nie Yuan in an interview, saying that she had been in love with Nie Yuan for 3 years, but the other party had been reluctant to make it public, and had many times called herself a "happy single" in public, and had an ambiguous relationship with 5 women at the same time.
It is worth mentioning that not long after breaking up with Nie Yuan, Liu Yun fell in love with Zheng Jun under the guidance of Pu Shu's wife.
Nie Yuan did not publicly respond to Liu Yun's "testimony", but in an interview many years later, he talked about the past controversy:
"At that time, I felt that my affairs had nothing to do with others, so I didn't need to respond, but later I found out that it was related. ”
In 2014, Nie Yuan and Qin Ziyue registered their marriage and soon welcomed their daughter.
Not long after his daughter was born, Nie Yuan had dinner with his friends Gao Feng and Qiu Qiming, and when they left, they clashed with the driver, and after several pushes, the driver was injured.
Afterwards, Nie Yuan and Gao Feng were sentenced to 7 months in prison for this, and Nie Yuan issued a long article to apologize to the taxi driver, and said that "impulse is the devil".
Nie Yuan's letter of apology
After several incidents, Nie Yuan's career completely fell into a trough. In those years, most of the scripts sent to him were modern dramas, but compared with costume dramas, Nie Yuan, who appeared in modern dramas, had a great sense of presence greatly weakened.
On the other hand, the rapid change of the market and the emergence of more new actors have also aggravated the plight of Nie Yuan, who was born in the 70s.
If this development continues, perhaps his career will collapse and it will be difficult to turn around, until the summer of 2018, when he returns to the public eye.
In 2018, Nie Yuan starred in the TV series "Yanxi Raiders".
Nie Yuan is just 40 years old this year, as an actor, he still has acting skills, but he has lost his popularity.
Later, producer Yu Zheng talked about the drama, saying that although the production cost was nearly 300 million at that time, after the preliminary preparations, it was found that the remaining actor fee was only 24 million, which also meant that the crew could not invite too many stars: "Those who came were all friends." ”
In addition to the tight budget, the greater pressure of "Yanxi Raiders" comes from "The Legend of Ruyi", which was released at the same time.
Both dramas are set in the Qing Dynasty and are court stories that revolve around Emperor Qianlong.
Before the official broadcast, in horizontal comparison, the audience is looking forward to "The Legend of Ruyi", after all, the screenwriter of this drama is Liuzi who once wrote "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the starring roles are Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua, who are more trafficked.
Unexpectedly, after the drama was broadcast, "The Legend of Ruyi" attracted ridicule many times because of the plot, service and other reasons, but "Yanxi Raiders" started low and went high, becoming a hit in the summer of 2018.

Among them, Qianlong, portrayed by Nie Yuan, has become one of the biggest highlights in the play.
Compared with the majestic image of the emperor in court dramas in the past, Nie Yuan's performance is vivid and flesh-and-blood, he will kick people's butts when he is angry, and he is also good at "yin and yang".
Although the performance in "Raiders of Yanxi Palace" made Nie Yuan fight a beautiful turnaround.
It's a pity that Nie Yuan didn't catch this wave of traffic, and then he starred in several film and television works one after another, and his reputation and voice were unsatisfactory.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, because Nie Yuan's role is more limited, and he is more suitable for ancient costumes than modern dramas.
Nie Yuan in the modern drama "Love as the Camp".
On the other hand, it is his controversial "personality", and in recent years, most of the public discussions about him have focused on his married life and machismo.
Maybe he realized that the times were different, or maybe he really wrestled, and unlike Nie Yuan, who "others didn't dare to say what I dare to say" in the past, now he has become more cautious and has become less and less talkative.
In another interview, he described himself as "just a little machismo".
It's just that how to properly have this "little bit" machismo and avoid being drawn into the whirlpool of public opinion may become something that needs to be repeatedly measured in the 46-year-old Nie Yuan's acting career in the future.
There are not many opportunities left for him to try and make mistakes.
