In any field, with the growth of experience time, individuals are often able to master some unique skills that are not known to outsiders, and establish their own authority among their peers.
This phenomenon is especially significant in the entertainment industry, and those senior actors with superb acting skills are often respected as "old drama bones". However, not all well-respected veteran actors can achieve the perfect balance of virtue and artistry.
Next, we will focus on two veteran actors who have a pivotal position in the entertainment industry, and explore the gap between their artistic achievements and personal conduct.
Du Zhiguo, a name with considerable weight in the entertainment industry, and his son Du Chun's fame even surpassed him.
In 1997, Du Zhiguo successfully portrayed the role of Nian Qianyao with his superb performance in "Yongzheng Dynasty", thus winning wide attention from the audience.
The popularity of the show has brought unprecedented opportunities to Du Zhiguo, but he did not become complacent, but chose to work steadily and continue to work the road of acting.
Over time, his acting skills have been recognized by more audiences, and he has even been hailed as a "golden supporting actor".
However, what is unexpected is that this amiable old actor on the screen has a complicated private life. Du Zhiguo's married life has undergone many changes, and he has even been caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because he is suspected of violating others.
Although he was not convicted by law, his public image had been tarnished. This incident undoubtedly had a huge impact on viewers who had regarded him as a role model, and it also made people start to re-examine the veteran actor's character.
Another high-profile veteran actor is Liu Xiaolingtong, who is a household name for playing the role of Monkey King in "Journey to the West".
To this day, the image of the Monkey King in the minds of mainland audiences is still closely related to the six-year-old child. However, compared with the sublime image in the hearts of the audience, the six-year-old child in reality is not perfect.
At the beginning, in the casting process of "Journey to the West", Liu Xiaolingtong was able to play the role of Monkey King, and there was an unknown story behind it.
Originally, director Yang Jie intended to choose other actors, but in the end, under the influence of various factors, Liu Xiaolingtong won the role. Although his performance in the show is perfect, the behind-the-scenes story calls into question his professional attitude.
During the filming process, Liu Xiaolingtong once had a conflict with director Yang Jie because he took on a commercial performance privately.
Since then, he has taken over commercials and commercial performances with the image of Monkey King many times, and even closely bound the image of Monkey King to himself, which caused dissatisfaction among the audience.
What's even more regrettable is that at director Yang Jie's funeral, he actually took the opportunity to promote his new film, which undoubtedly further damaged his image in the eyes of the audience.
To sum up, Du Zhiguo and Liu Xiaolingtong, two veteran actors, have outstanding achievements in art, but their personal conduct has been controversial.
This reminds us that when evaluating a person, we should look at their artistic achievements and moral character comprehensively and objectively, and avoid blind worship or blind belittlement.
At the same time, as public figures, they should lead by example, establish a good social image, and convey positive energy to the audience.
