Jiang Wenli incident
As a veteran of the entertainment industry, Jiang Wenli has indeed been "enough" over the years! The 56-year-old was involved in the "Baoyang Gate", which caused netizens to point fingers. The new drama "Love Around the Corner" starring her received bad reviews as soon as it came out, with a Douban score of only 2.3 points.
Good guy, in comparison, her performance in the film history classic "Farewell My Concubine" is like two people! shows his peerless acting skills, which can be called a rare "treasure" in the film industry for a hundred years.
Alas, the heroes don't mention the courage of the past, and today's Jiang Wenli is indeed a big surprise. , a national treasure-level veteran actor who was once known as the "Little Sister of the Beijing Circle", has been declining in recent years, and the casting has become more and more vulgar and vulgar, which makes people sigh.
Speaking of Jiang Wenli, she went all the way north from a small town girl to enter the Beijing Film Academy for further study, which can be said to have worked hard step by step in the film and television industry with her pure acting strength and wisdom.
In the 34 years she has been in the industry, Jiang Wenli has won the Best Actress Award 8 times, and has won almost all the important awards in the film and television industry. In her early years, she starred in works such as "Holding Hands" and "Chinese-style Divorce", which vividly reflected the development and changes of contemporary marriage and family in China.
Impressive, of course, is her wonderful performances in "Farewell My Concubine" and "Lichun". Like this kind of drama that captures the various states of human nature and excavates the abyss of fate, the requirements for acting skills are so unfathomable! Jiang Wenli alone has written a wonderful stroke in the history of Chinese film.
Married life drifts apart
However, the life of "firewood, rice, oil and salt" cannot escape the troubles of the world after all. Jiang Wenli and her husband Gu Changwei's marriage road can be described as bumpy. The two have been married for more than 30 years and have cooperated in filming many times. But the media has repeatedly exposed scandals that Gu Changwei had an affair and cheated. Although Jiang Wenli was unwilling, she always chose to be tolerant and silent.
Some people analyzed that Jiang Wenli may have made such a choice for the sake of her children and livelihood. After all, the two run a joint venture film and television company, and once they divorce, it will also bring a heavy blow to their careers. More netizens believe that the reason why Jiang Wenli swallowed her anger was more based on an obsession with this marriage. She hopes that with her tolerance, she can maintain the dignity of this family and leave a good impression on the audience.
It's a pity that it seems that as she grows older, Jiang Wenli's obsession with "little fresh meat" has become deeper and deeper over the years. In many film and television works, 56-year-old Jiang Wenli has intimate scenes with 17-year-old, 20-year-old, and 19-year-old young actors. Although she is an old drama bone, it is inevitable that she will give people a greasy feeling of "sister dog literature" in front of young boys.
As a middle-aged and elderly actress, although the casting is limited, is Jiang Wenli's approach also suspected of going out of line? Maybe it's just for creative needs, but it will inevitably make the audience disgusted and uncomfortable.
Netizens commented: "When I saw Jiang Wenli and Xiao Xianrou's passion play, my eyes were moist, and I felt like I was witnessing a middle-aged aunt who was delusional about her grandson!"
Reproducing the "Bag Gate" scandal
Sure enough, after Jiang Wenli was exposed to the "Baoyangmen" scandal, netizens also criticized her, calling her behavior "greasy, obscene, and shameless".
Some media reported that Jiang Wenli had a relationship with Huang Xuan, even in the car. After the parties were hotly discussed, they never mentioned it, and their attitude was mysterious. Here's what netizens have to say:
"An old aunt in her 50s is thinking about a young man who can be her grandson, isn't this a demon?"
"Jiang Wenli's behavior really insults her reputation for being a good actor!"
"From the actress to the aunt, she has completely become the laughing stock of the entertainment industry!"
It is true that art originates from life but is higher than life. An excellent actor, in addition to having a solid foundation, also needs to have a higher cognition and understanding of life.
Although Jiang Wenli was once a leader in the film industry, many classic works are unforgettable. But now her understanding and control of life seems to be biased. Some of the choices and behaviors she has made seem to be eating away at the glory of her past step by step.
Some netizens commented: "As a master who has starred in classics like "Farewell My Concubine", Jiang Wenli's recent scandals are really disappointing. Of course, we should respect the artist's private life, but we also hope that she can re-examine herself, maintain the basic bottom line and dignity, and not ruin the sacred and noble title of artist. "
Another netizen appealed: "There are boundaries between art and life, and of course we have to appreciate and recognize an actor's work itself." But since you have chosen to become a public figure, you should always restrain your behavior and establish a positive value orientation for the public. "
I personally feel the same way. A generation of grandmasters should look like grandmasters, and I hope that Jiang Wenli can reflect in time, correct her position in life, and give back to the audience with more noble works. Only in this way can she truly survive in the film industry and not be abandoned by the times.
epilogue
Jiang Wenli's scandals did make her criticized. But it is undeniable that she was the best practitioner of a generation of performing arts and made outstanding contributions to the development of China's film industry.
Perhaps, as some netizens said: "We should look at the artist's work and personal life separately." As long as Jiang Wenli is still creating excellent works, we should appreciate her talent, and should not interfere and judge her private life too much. "
I also believe that this does not mean that we can be unprincipled and indulgent in public figures. After all, artistic creation is inseparable from the tempering of character and ethics. Only by returning to the basics and regaining the basic moral bottom line from the heart can Jiang Wenli not be abandoned and spurned by the times when she is dying, and finally achieve a real "evergreen frozen age".
Although Jiang Wenli's actions have been widely condemned by all sectors of society, there are also calls for not to blame her personally, but to reflect on how to get art back on the right track.
Mr. Jia Yi, a veteran film critic, said: "We should not be too critical of an artist's character, but should examine whether the overall environment for artistic development is healthy. Once the ecology is good, excellent works will naturally emerge in a steady stream. "
Zhang Guoli, a veteran actor, also expressed a similar view: "Artistic creation needs a pure environment, away from distractions and temptations. If we can create such a good atmosphere for artists, they will naturally be able to devote themselves to their creations and will not go down the wrong path. "
Jiang Wenli's series of scandals have triggered deep thinking about the ethics of the entertainment industry from all walks of life, and everyone is calling for self-discipline in the industry, and at the same time, it is also expected that the relevant departments can improve the management system to create a good ecological environment for artistic creation, so that artists can return to the original intention of art.
