1. After the peak, he fell into the abyss and instantly became a "man in the last years"
On that thrilling night in May 2021, Zhang Guoli, an artist who has entered old age, ended a long day of hard work. Despite his physical and mental exhaustion, he still shared a series of energetic photos on social media to express his unwavering love for acting.
However, Zhang Guoli definitely did not foresee that this seemingly unintentional move would cause ridicule and questions from the majority of netizens. "Pretentious", "pretentious", "old and not dead" and other piercing comments are like sharp arrows, ruthlessly shooting at the 68-year-old veteran actor.
The former Zhang Guoli was known as an outstanding actor of "Virtue and Art", and was deeply admired and loved by the audience. His superb acting skills in many excellent works have won the enthusiastic pursuit of countless fans.
However, now he has fallen into the situation of being belittled as a "man in his last years", and the degree of this depravity is really embarrassing.
In the face of the storm on the Internet, Zhang Guoli could only barely squeeze out a smile and pretend not to care. However, deep down, he knew that the accusations he had suffered today were entirely self-inflicted.
The origins of all of this can be traced back to the wrong choices he made in his young youth in terms of his artistic career and personal feelings.
At that time, Zhang Guoli was brilliant and could be called a leader in the literary world. Who would have thought that he would end up in such a predicament. Every step he took was pregnant with today's tragedy.
Recalling the decisions made when he was young, Zhang Guoli felt extremely sad about his ignorance back then.
Second, young and promising, excellent skills, career and family go hand in hand
To understand Zhang Guoli's life history, we must start with his youth. At that time, he was undoubtedly a bright new star in the literary world, and he won high praise from many seniors with his excellent acting skills.
Starting out as an obscure repertory theatre role, he quickly stood out as the core of the team with his passion and talent for acting.
Not only that, but what is even more fortunate is that Zhang Guoli met the first love of his life in the crew - Luo Xiuchun. They were accompanied day and night in the crew, fell in love for a long time, and soon entered the marriage hall hand in hand.
In 1982, 27-year-old Zhang Guoli and Luo Xiuchun tied the knot, and when they were newly married, their love was as sweet as ever.
The laughter and laughter of the wedding have not yet dispersed, and Luo Xiuchun witnessed this happy moment with a new life. Zhang Guoli is meticulous about this baby son who is about to be born, and does his best to look forward to his arrival.
At the moment of the child's birth, he carefully gave his son a meaningful name - "Mo", hoping that he could become a low-key and humble person.
At that time, Zhang Guoli could be described as a bumper harvest in his career and family, and his life was full and satisfying. Although the economic conditions at that time were not easy, he always responded to the needs of his family, even if Zhang Mo wanted a piano on a whim, he did not hesitate to buy it with all his might.
However, the good times are always short-lived. As the years passed, Zhang Guoli's heart gradually began to waver. In the process of cooperating with the famous actress Deng Jie, Zhang Guoli was deeply attracted by her charm and had the idea of betraying his marriage in his heart.
Soon after, they fell into a passionate and tangled love vortex like "North Drift". In order to spend the rest of his life with Deng Jie, Zhang Guoli resolutely chose to divorce his wife Luo Xiuchun.
For his young and ignorant son Zhang Mo, the divorce of his parents is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Since then, his personality has gradually become rebellious and uninhibited, and he is full of resentment towards his father.
3. The godson has no way to cause a catastrophe, and he goes astray and is imprisoned
In the face of his son Zhang Mo's increasingly rebellious behavior, Zhang Guoli did not take effective restraint and discipline measures, but let himself go. Maybe it's because of his guilt when his son divorced, or maybe he thinks Zhang Mo is just a temporary period of youthful rebellion, but in short, he doesn't recognize the potential dangers of this behavior.
Soon after, Zhang Mo's rebellious behavior intensified. He began to indulge in all kinds of bad habits, his attitude towards women was rough and bad, and his behavior became more and more uncontrollable. In 2003, Zhang Mo was severely punished by the Central Academy of Drama for beating his then-girlfriend Tong Yao.
In the face of this turmoil, Zhang Guoli publicly apologized for his son's behavior on the surface, but deep down he never really paid attention to the seriousness of the problem. On the contrary, he was suspicious of the victim, Tong Yao, and suspected that she had made a mistake that triggered his son's violence.
watched his son go farther and farther, but Zhang Guoli seemed to turn a deaf ear and stood by. It wasn't until Zhang Mo was arrested and imprisoned twice in a row for drug-related crimes that he deeply realized the necessity of strict discipline.
However, it was too late to make amends! Zhang Mo's originally promising future had already been destroyed by his own hands. Zhang Mo, who lives in prison, is immersed in a gloomy and angry state of mind all day long, which makes Zhang Guoli, as a father, have to fall into the abyss of self-blame and pain.
He began to reflect on whether he had fulfilled his due duty as a father, and whether he should give Zhang Mo more care and restraint.
Guilt, frustration, self-blame and other complex emotions were tangled and surging in Zhang Guoli's heart. He realized that his son's path of crime was inextricably linked to his indulgence and neglect of discipline.
If he had been able to correct Zhang Mo's mistakes in time, perhaps today's tragedy would not have been staged.
Fourth, working desperately to repay debts, the misconduct of the elderly crew has aroused public condemnation
In the difficult years after Zhang Mo was released from prison, more misfortunes followed. It turned out that in the early years, he had met and became friends with a wealthy businessman, but he was ruthlessly deceived by the other party and was burdened with a huge debt of hundreds of millions of yuan.
In order to pay off this debt as soon as possible, Zhang Guoli, who was over sixty years old at the time, could only do his best. He began to shoot various types of variety shows, film and television dramas, no matter when and where, as long as there is a job opportunity, he will not hesitate to devote himself to it, and there is hardly any time to rest.
In addition, he even took on the role of a host, and as long as it was a job that brought income, he would not hesitate to accept it. However, despite such efforts, Zhang Guoli was still unable to pay off all his debts in the short term.
He was physically and mentally exhausted, and he also began to have problems in dealing with interpersonal relationships, for example, during the filming of a certain crew in Jiangxi, his staff directly blocked the road and prohibited vehicles, which eventually led to conflicts with passers-by.
This kind of arrogant and unreasonable behavior has even drawn public criticism from the Xinhua News Agency. After this incident, Zhang Guoli's glorious image of "virtue and art" completely collapsed. People accused him one after another: "It's really old and confused to care about such a small matter!" "I used to think he was a serious person, but I didn't expect that he would learn to cover up his mistakes when he was old."
”……。
These sharp words pierced Zhang Guoli's heart like the tip of a needle. As a well-respected veteran artist, his actions have undoubtedly had a negative impact on the entire show business community.
What is even more regrettable is that the reason why Zhang Guoli is in such a predicament is actually due to the wrong marriage choice when he was young.
When uncovering the story behind that dark chapter in Zhang Guoli's life, we have to turn our attention to the passionate but painful extramarital relationship between him and Deng Jie.
The years passed, when the picture scroll of memory reopened, we saw that he and Deng Jie met in the process of filming a drama work, they shared affection, with the passage of day and night, more and more intoxicated with the sweet river of love Zhang Guoli's desire and obsession with Deng Jie, like a fish leaving the sea, there is nowhere to escape, can only indulge deeply in it However, in the process, he betrayed the sea vow he had made with his wife Luo Xiuchun In the face of inner contradictions and struggles, Zhang Guoli finally chose to renounce his marriage vow, just to be able to stay with the love of his heart Deng Jie。
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Guoli's way of dealing with divorce matters is too ruthless. After divorcing Luo Xiuchun, he did not hesitate to move out of his common home, cut off all financial support, and only paid a small amount of child support for his son Zhang Mo.
This behavior undoubtedly brought heavy psychological trauma to the young Zhang Mo, who witnessed the separation of his parents since he was a child, and he gradually became rebellious and abnormal, and also had a deep estrangement from Zhang Guoli.
After the divorce, Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie began an arduous career in Beijing, and they lived a cohabitation life similar to "North Drift". However, although Deng Jie cared for Zhang Mo and tried her best to guide him to grow up, she never stopped Zhang Mo from taking the wrong path.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the lack of his mother's love and the blow of his father's divorce that Zhang Mo embarked on a path that deviated more and more from the right track, and even ended up being imprisoned twice The source of all this tragedy is undoubtedly the divorce decision made by Zhang Guoli when he was young, and the betrayal of his wife.
Just imagine, if he could have maintained more loyalty to Luo Xiuchun at that time, if he had not been easily captured by Deng Jie's charm, then why would his life have fallen into such a predicament? Looking back on the past, Zhang Guoli was full of endless regret for his decision back then, however, everything was a foregone conclusion and irretrievable.
