1. Reveal the other side of the aura of public figures
Celebrities in the spotlight are often accustomed to creating a glamorous public image. Taking the hot actress Ni Ni as an example, she often shows a modest and cautious posture on the screen, caring for her colleagues, and has a gentle and friendly smile, leaving a kind and cordial impression on the audience.
However, when the spotlight is no longer in focus, they immediately remove the veil and reveal their true selves.
Some insiders revealed that Ni Ni behind the camera is simply a different person. On the set, she commanded the staff, like a queen, and she couldn't see her humility and elegance on the screen at all.
Even more surprising was the fact that she had been seen ordering her assistants to put on her shoes at the workplace on several occasions.
According to reliable sources, Ni Ni usually stood upright with a cold look in her eyes, waiting for her assistant to kneel down like a servant to put on her shoes. Even in between intense shoots, there were five or six crew members circling around her, but she didn't even want to do her own thing, just indifferently watching others busy for her.
Such an "emperor" treatment undoubtedly reveals Ni Ni's deep arrogance and superiority. Being cared for by her assistant for a long time, she seems to have become accustomed to it, and even neglected her own arrogance.
According to the staff who have worked with Ni Ni, it is no secret that she has a huge contrast in front of and behind the camera. She is very good at creating a gentle and generous image in front of the camera, but once the camera leaves, she will immediately reveal her true colors, dictating to the staff and giving orders.
Second, there have been frequent scandals of ill-treatment of assistants
Nowhere is this more evident than in Sun Xiaoxiao's treatment of his assistant Yang Lu. According to Yang Lu herself, once the two went out to shoot together, and at night, Sun Xiaoxiao forced Yang Lu to accompany him due to insomnia.
However, in order to avoid controversy, she actually ordered Yang Lu to spend the night in a cold and hard bathtub.
Poor Yang Lu couldn't resist Sun Xiaoxiao's order, so he had to barely make do with it overnight in a cramped bathtub. Due to the limited space in the bathtub and the cold and hardness, Yang Lu tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, and the pain was unbearable.
Just imagining such a scene makes people feel pain and sigh for it!
However, what is even more shocking is that there was another time when Sun Xiaoxiao openly kicked Yang Lu out of the room because he disliked the slight snoring sound made by Yang Lu while sleeping, and forcibly ordered him to spend the whole night on the empty hotel corridor and not leave.
Just imagine, lying alone in the hotel corridor, seeing the employees and guests coming and going, how ashamed Yang Lu should have felt at that time! However, despite this, he still did not dare to disobey Sun Xiaoxiao's order, so he could only endure the pain.
What's even more unacceptable is that Sun Xiaoxiao once asked Yang Lu to make up as a woman on the spot, dress him up like a clown with heavy makeup, and then take pictures to make fun of him.
Yang Lu looked at herself in the mirror and was completely distorted, her heart was full of endless shame and anger, but she didn't dare to show the slightest.
The most indignant thing is that once on the highway, Yang Lu accidentally forgot to bring the hat that Sun Xiaoxiao needed to wear. Sun Xiaoxiao immediately flew into a rage and drove Yang Lu out of the car mercilessly, leaving him alone in the green belt on the side of the road.
What's even more cruel is that Sun Xiaoxiao even ruthlessly threw a box of specialty grapes brought by Yang Lu from his hometown into the trash, on the grounds that this kind of thing is "too vulgar".
This kind of wanton trampling on the hard work and sincerity of others is undoubtedly a grave sin on the moral level. Thankfully, these incidents were finally revealed, prompting strong condemnation from all walks of life, hoping that Sun Xiaoxiao would reflect deeply on his own actions, rather than continue to turn a blind eye to them.
3. The distorted relationship caused by the chain of interests behind it
So, why do these celebrities treat their assistants so arrogantly and unreasonably and wantonly bullying? One of the most important reasons is that there is a distorted chain of interests behind them.
In the minds of some agencies and avid fans, celebrities are often regarded as supreme beings, and are regarded as unattainable perfections. With the passage of time, some celebrities have gradually been confused by this cultural atmosphere of "personality cult", breeding a lawless and arrogant mentality.
In contrast, the role of assistants seems to be mere foils, working in obscurity to create the most comfortable working environment for the stars, but in the end the rewards are far less than expected.
This twisted relationship between master and servant has undoubtedly widened the power gap between the two sides, and it has been widened infinitely! Especially for those slightly famous stars, it is easy to have a sense of superiority like the "emperor", and begin to make all kinds of unreasonable demands to the assistant, acting arbitrarily without restraint.
Liu Tao is a vivid representative of this phenomenon.
Back in the past, in order to help her husband repay the huge amount of arrears, Liu Tao resolutely decided to return to the screen, and making money from filming has become the focus of her life. Because of her eagerness to repay her debts, she did not hesitate to take on many scripts of uneven quality, and was even named a "drama idiot" because of this.
However, in stark contrast to the role of "good wife and mother" she plays, her attitude towards her assistants is unusually cold.
Once, when the assistant saw that she was thirsty, she took the initiative to hand over a glass of water, but was met with Liu Tao's malicious response - she actually spit saliva directly into the assistant's hand, and then casually threw the garbage on the ground to the assistant for disposal.
Such behavior undoubtedly reveals Liu Tao's deep arrogance and prejudice, she does not regard her assistant as an equal individual, but only her own servant, behind this arrogant and rude style, it is the over-touted and bred sense of superiority that is at work.
It can be seen that if the bad atmosphere of blindly chasing stars in the entertainment industry cannot be completely abandoned, similar tragedies may continue to be staged. Only by establishing a correct concept of stardom can a good relationship of equality and respect be established between celebrities and assistants.
Fourth, the lack of basic human pretentiousness
One of the key factors behind Liu Tao's such arrogant and rude behavior towards her assistant is that there is a huge contrast between her long-cherished image of a "good wife and mother" and her real appearance.
Looking back, when Liu Tao married Wang Ke, a son of a rich family, she was praised as "marrying into a wealthy family". However, a few years later, Wang Ke suffered bankruptcy and was burdened with heavy debts.
In order to maintain his family's livelihood, Liu Tao had no choice but to devote himself to the entertainment industry again and began to frantically take on TV series to earn income.
In just a few years, she has starred in more than 20 TV series. However, it is a pity that Liu Tao's acting skills have not only failed to improve, but have become more and more patterned, and he has been criticized by the audience as a "drama idiot".
Netizens have said that her acting skills are far behind the "tool man" young actors of the year.
However, despite the decline in her career, Liu Tao still pretends to be a loving and family-caring perfect mother in various social occasions, trying to win deep sympathy and understanding from the public.
In order to cooperate with and cater to this social expectation, she did not hesitate to pour out her own difficulties and contradictions ruthlessly on the innocent assistants around her.
There is such a scene, the assistant saw that she was thirsty and took the initiative to hand over a glass of water, but she indifferently spit the saliva in her mouth into the assistant's hands, and even threw the garbage on the ground to the assistant to clean up.
This behavior undoubtedly completely exposed the falsehood and artificiality of her so-called "kind" image.
Judging from her various bad behaviors towards her assistants, the image of a "good wife and good mother" she created is just a fig leaf as thin as a cicada's wings to cover up her unreasonable treatment of her assistants and her own lack of acting skills.
Once the veil is removed, Liu Tao's attitude towards the staff will immediately change dramatically - he will become arrogant and arrogant. She seems to see her assistants as her slaves, and does not see them as equal human beings at all.
It can be seen that Liu Tao's humble and polite "good character" in front of outsiders is actually just a product of careful packaging and artificiality. She tried to use this fig leaf to hide her inner vanity and arrogance, but she did not expect that in real life, her approach would instead expose her lack of the most basic human care and empathy.
Part V: Vanity Distorts Human Nature
If Liu Tao's arrogant attitude towards his assistant can be explained by "covering her ears and stealing the bell", then she can't find any excuse for her various bad behaviors towards the people around her.
Because in the face of peers and ordinary people, the article never gives due respect, he only grovels to those who have power and status.
Some media once reported such an incident: during the promotion of the movie "33 Days of Broken Love" starring the article, he suddenly wanted to taste hand-ground coffee on a whim. In order to satisfy this unreasonable demand, he even forced the staff to grind coffee for him on the spot, otherwise he resolutely refused to participate in the day's publicity activities.
Although the staff tried their best to find hand grinding equipment and grind fresh coffee on the spot in the coffee shop to meet his requirements, the article was still dissatisfied in the subsequent interview activities, and the reporter's questions were perfunctory, which made the atmosphere extremely embarrassing.
What's even more incredible about this incident is that when a movie star starred in the TV series "Little Daddy", at night, an inspiration suddenly came to him and decided to try the delicious food unique to his hometown - oily noodles.
He did not hesitate to suggest to the staff that if he could not bring him this elaborate late-night snack tomorrow, then he would resolutely refuse to attend the press conference.
At this moment, it is more than three o'clock in the evening, which oily noodle restaurant can still operate normally? Despite the crew's all-out efforts to try to fulfill the star's wishes, they were unable to make the trip.
When they cautiously state the actual situation, a shocking scene happens, the star actually yells at them, mercilessly accusing them of "doing nothing".
Such behavior undoubtedly exposed the arrogance and vanity in his heart. However, when he appeared on the same stage with the powerful superstar Jet Li, he instantly changed to a flattering expression, and respectfully asked the other party for advice like a good student who humbly asked for advice.
From his behavior of "valuing sex over friends," it is not difficult for us to find that he is actually just a profit-seeking speculator who only cares about his own interests. He always showed a dismissive attitude towards his peers and ordinary people; And in the face of authority figures, he will grovel and feign humility.
This kind of vain character has seriously distorted his principles of life.
