Zhao Ziqi, this name may still be somewhat familiar now, but more than 20 years have passed since her peak. As one of the most well-known female hosts of CCTV, Zhao Ziqi's career can be described as ups and downs and full of controversy.
Not only has she been labeled as a "little san" many times, but even the scandal with Chen Kun has made her bear the infamy of a "third party" for many years.
However, it all may have stemmed from a fortuitous choice.
Bright as a flash in the pan CCTV hosting career
Zhao Ziqi was admitted to the Communication University of China and became a classmate and friend of Li Xiang, Hu Ke and others. Everyone loves acting, but it seems that only Zhao Ziqi has the most confidence in the profession of hosting.
Sure enough, Zhao Ziqi became the "new face" of the Spring Festival Gala that year and officially appeared on the CCTV stage. With her sweet and cheerful image and outstanding hosting ability, her popularity soon soared, and she was named "CCTV's purest female anchor".
In the next few years, Zhao Ziqi can be said to have eaten all the popular programs on CCTV. Whether it is "Let's Talk", "Avenue of Stars" or "Million Singers", she is a fixed host lineup. Facing the camera, Zhao Ziqi can always maintain a steady and humorous professional demeanor, full of affinity.
Just when his career was in full swing, Zhao Ziqi suddenly left CCTV.
Transformed into an actor-turned-career
Zhao Ziqi, who was at the peak of his hosting career, resolutely resigned from CCTV, which was shocking. And her new career is film and television actress.
At first, Zhao Ziqi's development in the film and television industry was quite smooth. She has starred in many TV series, such as "Farewell, Vancouver", "Tomorrow to the End", etc., and her acting skills have won unanimous praise. But the turning point happened.
This year, after a film and television drama in which Zhao Ziqi participated was broadcast, she and the actor of the play, Chen Kun, were exposed to scandals, and there were even false rumors that she was the biological mother of Chen Kun's illegitimate child. In the same year, she was also rumored to have an affair with Yang Liu, who was also hosted by CCTV, which caused Yang Liu's marriage to be destroyed.
Scandals and controversies continue
Although the parties have repeatedly denied it, these scandals have remained strong online for years. There are even netizens who piece together "evidence", such as some "clues" in the photos and interview videos on the set. Zhao Ziqi soon became infamous as "little san" and "third party".
Despite this, Zhao Ziqi still insisted on his acting career. She starred in dramas such as "The Mystery of Childhood Plums" and "Hot-blooded Youth". But the ratings were mediocre and never brought her a breakthrough.
What's even more surprising is that even Zhao Ziqi's love life is mixed with the questioning of "Xiaosan". When the 34-year-old married Lu Jinbo, a new online writer, it was rumored that she took the marriage from Lu Jinbo's ex-wife.
In the face of doubts, Zhao Ziqi and Lu Jinbo responded at the time that Lu Jinbo's ex-wife had separated from him many years ago and had no intrigue. However, such an explanation did not completely calm public opinion.
Re-debuted Return to sight
Although far from the spotlight of the entertainment industry, Zhao Ziqi did not retire from the entertainment industry. After many years, she once again starred in a high-profile TV series "Rebirth".
In this drama, Zhao Ziqi plays a strong woman who has a successful career but a frustrated marriage. Many viewers believe that this character is not unrelated to Zhao Ziqi's own experience. Sure enough, with the popularity of the series, heated discussions about Zhao Ziqi's past were once again ignited on social media.
Although Zhao Ziqi did not have many promotional activities when it was broadcast, her excellent acting skills in the play still received a lot of positive reviews. Some film critics even bluntly said that Zhao Ziqi can be called a "powerful" actor.
"Rebirth" brought Zhao Ziqi the opportunity to become popular again. The following year, she starred in several youth dramas and urban dramas one after another, and her popularity continued to rise. However, it also made her have to face the haze of the "scandal" in the past again.
Retranslation of old news is a verbal and written criticism
Looking back at Zhao Ziqi's career for more than 20 years, whenever she has a breakthrough in her career, questions about "Xiaosan" and "third party" will follow. Even her early scandal with Chen Kun was picked up again.
Some media even compared Zhao Ziqi to a recently divorced female star, implying that she had interfered in other people's marriages. Many netizens also joined the ranks of this "human flesh" and "fired hard" at Zhao Ziqi's past behavior.
In the face of such pressure from public opinion, Zhao Ziqi has always chosen to remain silent. But her husband Lu Jinbo publicly defended his wife, insisting that the two met and fell in love when they were single with each other, and there was no suspicion of "interference".
However, such a defense does not seem to be able to reverse the trend of public opinion. To this day, many people still equate "Xiaosan" with Zhao Ziqi.
Can the future be a late bloomer?
To this day, Zhao Ziqi, who is over 45 years old, is still active on the screen. She has not lost her former brilliance, and she is still a slim beauty.
Interestingly, even Chen Kun, who had an affair with her, has now become her "old drama bone" friend. The two joked about the past many times in front of the camera, and their attitudes were relaxed and natural. This made many netizens exclaim: The scandal that has been circulating for a long time is actually just "nonsense".
In terms of family life, the relationship between Zhao Ziqi and her husband Lu Jinbo is still stable. Occasionally, on social media, the two will post warm photos with their daughters, and the family looks happy, which is enviable.
Throughout Zhao Ziqi's acting career in the past 30 years, her life trajectory is like a fierce battle, full of countless controversies and criticisms. From being crowned with the reputation of "the purest host", to being frequently labeled as "Xiaosan" and "third party", she accepted and survived one by one.
Perhaps, the root of all this lies in Zhao Ziqi's bold career transformation. She stepped out from under the aura of the CCTV host and chose a path full of unknowns as an actor, thus exposing herself to the whirlpool of public opinion.
It was this courage and persistence that allowed Zhao Ziqi to finally survive the haze of life. Today, she has become a woman with a successful career and a happy family. She used her life experience to interpret the weight of the words "late bloomer".
It has been said that fate is fair to everyone, it's just that some people are braver and more resilient. Zhao Ziqi is exactly like this, she went all the way in the midst of doubts, and finally arrived at the other side of her ideal life. Her life has set up a banner of courage and tenacity for each of us ordinary people.
Looking back on Zhao Ziqi's life trajectory, she has experienced the ups and downs of her career, and she has also experienced the baptism of criticism. But as she said in an interview: "Life is like this, the key is to grasp the moment with a grateful heart."
From an actress who was questioned and suffered from the infamy of "Xiaosan", to the current happy wife and excellent mother, Zhao Ziqi has given us the best footnote with her life. Some people say that she is a "late bloomer", perhaps this is Zhao Ziqi's best comment.
No matter what happened, Zhao Ziqi has lived a wonderful life of his own. Her scandals and doubts along the way will eventually be diluted by the history of this "big instrument". Let's wait and see what she will do in the future.
