On that cold and cold day, a film and television star completely disappeared from the entertainment industry. Nothing seems to have been left but memories, and even the image she created more than a decade ago has vanished.
Once, she was a high-profile "national girl",
1 Pro-Japanese clothing set off a storm
The year 2000 is a critical time. That year, Zhao Wei appeared at a fashion event wearing a blouse printed with the R national flag and the words "Peace and Health". Because of Japan's crimes against China, Zhao Wei's actions undoubtedly touched the national sentiment of the Chinese people and triggered a strong reaction from public opinion.
Public opinion boiled for a while. Netizens accused Zhao Wei of "insulting China" and "pro-R". Someone revealed that Zhao Wei has praised Japanese culture many times in private and admires Japanese stars. Some people dug up her ambiguous remarks about Shinzo Abe's government in interviews with Japanese media years ago, further propelling her to the forefront.
Although Zhao Wei quickly issued an apology statement and deleted the relevant content afterwards, the audience has completely lost trust in her, believing that this is just a reflection of the perception she has held for a long time. This incident hit her hard at the peak of her career, and the impact was far-reaching, directly shaking her positive image in the hearts of mainland audiences.
2. Failure to operate and injuring a pregnant woman
However, the story doesn't end there. More of Zhao Wei's negative behaviors gradually came to light, causing her reputation to be discredited. In 2015, Zhao Wei partnered with her best friend Zou Xue to open a bar, hoping to start a new chapter in her career. However, it was not long before they had disagreements and conflicts over business issues. A dispute over profit distribution made the short-tempered Zhao Wei angry, and even instructed her private driver to beat Zou Xue, who was 7 months pregnant.
Zou Xue was severely beaten, scarred, and even miscarried. When she saw the victim crying in a pool of blood, Zhao Wei was expressionless, without remorse or apology. After the police detained her, she was not released on bail in time, but behaved even more arrogantly in prison. Not only did she shout "Why should I be shut up", but she also claimed that "I have money, I can do anything". This made the public disgusted with her, commenting on her as "arrogant".
Although Zhao Wei eventually avoided jail for a "minor offense", the court still sentenced her to a hefty fine. Although she regained several minor roles through relationships after her release from prison, she has lost her original glory and the glory of the past no longer exists.
3 Ten years of fake wine to cheat money was wasted
Years later, some of Zhao Wei's old scars were uncovered again. A whistleblower video alleges that in 2008 she sold counterfeit vodka at a bar she ran for a huge profit. The investigation found that her employees did buy some liquor of unknown origin at a low price at the time, which was then sold upside down in Martell vodka bottles.
What is even more shocking is that these drinks contain irritating substances and industrial alcohol, which are in danger of being disabled or even fatal. However, even if she knew about it, Zhao Wei chose to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to it.
In order to make profits, she doesn't care about the health of her customers, so to speak, she is "poisoning" customers and not moving. After the police intervened in the investigation, she tried her best to deny and quibble, and was finally fined 200,000 yuan and the bar was closed for 3 months.
After this series of scandals was exposed, the public's accusation and spurning of Zhao Wei reached its peak. Although she apologized on social media several times, she still couldn't regain her gradually lost popularity. Film projects and commercial activities have been cancelled one after another, and her film career has completely fallen into a trough.
4 In the end, he was blocked and faded out of sight
In the next few years, Zhao Wei still persistently tried to make a comeback in the entertainment industry. However, due to the severe damage to her reputation, the public has formed a firm resistance to her.
In 2022, she invested 5 million to produce an online movie written and directed by herself, hoping to make a comeback, but because she hired a controversial actor, she was completely boycotted by netizens.
This incident made netizens completely see her consistent ideological tendencies, and even as far as I know, even her relatives and friends, such as Zhang Zhen , Chen Kun, etc., have publicly drawn a line with her after the incident and terminated all contact with her. From being popular to being completely ignored, Zhao Wei can be said to be the most vivid portrayal of being isolated and troubled.
5 The lack of tutoring led to today's end
Looking back on Zhao Wei's entire experience, one of the reasons for her gradual depravity may be the lack of family education. Zhao Wei has been pampered and raised by her mother since she was a child, and this excessive doting has made her character rebellious and willful, and her heart is more filled with an innate arrogance and arrogance. She never really respected others, and she never took the rules and bottom line to heart.
Even her mother's indulgence in her seems to be counterproductive. Some netizens commented: "Money can buy her the vanity appearance of a star, but it can't buy connotation and upbringing." Indeed, Zhao Wei, who lacks a good family education, exudes an atmosphere of flamboyance and impetuousness in her heart, which coincides with her unscrupulous and arbitrary behavior in front of the public for many years.
6 Celebrity mining sparks reflection
The story of Zhao Wei's fall is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the entire entertainment industry. This once again triggered people's reflection and criticism of the "overindulgence" of celebrities. A senior film critic once said: "Stars should judge the situation, recognize their own positioning, and don't think too highly of themselves and act recklessly." Otherwise, even if it was once a smash hit, it is destined to be overshadowed one day. ”
In his opinion, the reason why Zhao Wei embarked on this road of no return was that she was once greedy for vanity and was completely carried away by the halo of stardom. She began to be pretentious, with no one in her eyes, her words and deeds were presumptuous, and she was the only one, and no one could restrain her anymore.
Once, she was just an ordinary little girl who reached the top with her own efforts. However, she forgot her original purpose and began to squander her talents, never to find her original goal, leaving only a mess. This is the so-called "Delong Wangshu", which is embarrassing.
7 Conclusion Be rational and chase stars
Through this series of stories and reflections, we should learn from them and stay rational and sober when dealing with celebrities. Although the stars shine brightly on the stage, they are also just ordinary people in essence and do not have anything out of the ordinary. The so-called "idols" are just appearances, and they can also make mistakes.
Therefore, our love and appreciation of celebrities should be more of a recognition of their efforts, talents, and personalities, rather than blindly justifying all their actions. Blind worship will only lead us astray, and it is even more ridiculous to be influenced by a certain celebrity's personal morality.
In general, Zhao Wei's reflection on this "road of life" tells us that no matter how good a person is at first, he should eventually abide by basic moral principles and respect mainstream values in order to be invincible. Otherwise, even if the scenery is unlimited for a while, it will eventually plummet and difficult to recover. This is exactly the current portrayal of Zhao Wei.
