On April 28, 2021, He Jiong ushered in his 50th birthday. However, the once-bustling social media comment section is now unusually deserted.
In the past, every time He Jiong's birthday, there would always be many artists and fans who sent their blessings, forming the so-called "He Bang" phenomenon. But now, that is no longer the case.
At the same time, the variety show "Happy Camp", which has accompanied the audience for many years, was also announced to be off the air at the end of the year, and the members of the "Happy Family" went their separate ways. He Jiong, who was once known as the "big brother in the entertainment industry", seems to be facing an unprecedented predicament.
From being sought after by tens of thousands of people to being controversial, what kind of change has He Jiong's public image experienced? What's the story behind this? Let's review He Jiong's career and explore how this once "unbeatable" host has come to this point.
In 1974, He Jiong was born in an ordinary family in Changsha City, Hunan Province. Growing up under a strict family education, he developed the habit of being diligent and studious.
In school, He Jiong's grades are always among the best, showing extraordinary intelligence.
In 1992, with excellent grades, He Jiong was sent to the Arabic Department of Beijing University of Foreign Chinese to study. However, university life did not make the young man settle for a single language.
In his spare time, He Jiong devotes a lot of energy to artistic creation, especially sketch performances. Although he was not good at singing and dancing at the time, he was able to show unique creativity by imitating the plot of the movie.
In 1994, He Jiong's life ushered in an important turning point. He directed and acted in the sketch "Infiltration" on the stage of CCTV's college student party. This performance brought a surprise to CCTV, and they saw unlimited potential in this young man.
Soon, CCTV threw an olive branch to He Jiong.
After accepting the invitation, He Jiong joined the production team of CCTV's children's program "Big Windmill" and co-hosted the "Smart House" session with Liu Chunyan. In the show, He Jiong appeared as a "big thumb brother", and won the love of the majority of small audiences with his humorous and intelligent hosting style.
In 1997, "The Big Windmill" was fully upgraded, and He Jiong's nickname was changed to "Caterpillar". Although he hopes to develop steadily on the big platform of CCTV, fate has prepared another stage for him.
A downsizing reform of CCTV deprived He Jiong of the opportunity to become a regular employee. The setback could have been a turning point in his career, but He Jiong didn't stop there.
He temporarily returned to Beijing Foreign Chinese University as a teacher and continued to develop his talents.
However, the gears of fate did not stop turning. The news of He Jiong's resignation from CCTV soon reached the ears of Hunan Satellite TV's top management. Hunan Satellite TV, which had long been concerned about He Jiong's talent, took immediate action and sent him an invitation to serve as the host of "Happy Camp".
This decision not only changed He Jiong's career, but also laid an important foreshadowing for the development of Chinese variety shows in the future. From the genius of Beijing Foreign University to the host of CCTV, and then to the pillar of Hunan Satellite TV, He Jiong's star journey officially set sail, and a bright era is coming.
In 1997, He Jiong accepted the invitation of Hunan Satellite TV and began to serve as the host of "Happy Camp". This decision not only changed the trajectory of his career, but also opened a new chapter in the development of Chinese variety shows.
However, Hunan Satellite TV knows that He Jiong's talent is rare and must not be let go easily. After negotiations, the TV station made a bold decision: to adjust the broadcast time of "Happy Camp" to every Saturday.
This move not only solves He Jiong's troubles, but also reflects the importance that the TV station attaches to him.
On the stage of "Happy Camp", He Jiong's hosting talent was fully utilized. His tacit cooperation with Li Xiang made the show quickly popular and became a must-see program for audiences across the country.
Even after Li Xiang left, He Jiong still relied on his own strength to become a well-deserved "pillar" of the show.
In 1999, an important opportunity appeared in front of He Jiong. Xie Na, who was unknown at the time, followed Zhang Weijian to the recording site of "Happy Camp". The keen He Jiong discovered Xie Na's potential and took the initiative to talk to her to help her integrate into the atmosphere of the show.
After the show, He Jiong strongly recommended Xie Na to join Hunan Satellite TV, which provided a broad platform for her career development.
With the support of He Jiong, Xie Na gradually grew from an unknown "green leaf" to a popular host. Although Xie Na left "Happy Camp" many times due to hosting style problems during this period, she finally returned to the show under the persuasion of He Jiong.
It can be said that without He Jiong, there would be no Xie Na today.
In 2006, Happy Camp ushered in an important change. He Jiong, Li Weijia, Xie Na, Wu Xin and Du Haitao formed the "Happy Family", and this lineup injected new vitality into the show.
He Jiong began to focus on cultivating Xie Na's talents and escorting her bold and humorous style.
In this golden age, He Jiong is not only an excellent host, but also the soul of the whole team. He took care of every member carefully, and especially gave special attention and encouragement to Wu Xin.
With the support of He Jiong, Wu Xin gradually overcame his timidity when he first appeared on the stage and grew into a confident and generous host.
The success of "Happy Camp" not only marks the peak of He Jiong's personal career, but also witnesses an important stage of development of Chinese variety shows. On this stage, He Jiong showed his talent, wisdom and leadership, and became the "big brother in the hosting industry" in the minds of countless audiences.
He Jiong has always been known as a "good old man" in the entertainment industry, and his kind and helpful personality has won him wide respect and affection. This kind of personality charm is not only reflected in the promotion of newcomers, but also in his selfless help to his peers and professional attitude towards work.
In terms of newcomer training, He Jiong's contribution is obvious to all. In addition to the aforementioned Xie Na, his help to Wu Xin is also impressive. When Wu Xin was most confused and confused, it was He Jiong's encouragement and comfort again and again that made her persevere, and finally transformed into a confident, beautiful, and generous host.
He Jiong's kindness is not limited to the members of the "Happy Family". Throughout the entertainment industry, he was known for his helpfulness. When Han Geng faced the dilemma of lack of resources in the early days of his return, He Jiong lent a helping hand.
He invited Han Geng to participate in the recording of "Happy Camp" and assisted him in holding a new song press conference. This friendship in the snow, Han Geng has always remembered in his heart.
Similarly, when Zhao Liying was still an unknown newcomer, He Jiong gave her great support. When Zhao Liying appeared on the stage of "Happy Camp" for the first time and seemed cramped and uneasy in the face of an unfamiliar environment, He Jiong always stood by her side, giving encouragement and support.
This selfless help laid the foundation for Zhao Liying's future success.
He Jiong's kindness is not only reflected in his help to artists, but also in his attitude towards work and keen insight into the emotions of others. When recording the show, he can always detect the emotional changes of the guests in time and skillfully resolve the embarrassing situation.
For example, in an episode of "Longing for Life", He Jiong was keenly aware of Shen Teng's subtle emotional changes due to Zhang Yixing's unintentional words, and immediately spoke out to resolve them, avoiding a possible embarrassing situation.
In addition, He Jiong's professional attitude towards work has also won unanimous praise from the industry. Whether it is a large-scale party or a regular variety show, He Jiong always appears in front of the camera in the best condition.
He delves into the content of the show before he takes the stage to make sure he can get the rhythm and atmosphere right. Even in the face of unfamiliar guests, he can accurately call each other's names, showing a high level of professionalism.
It is this sincere and serious attitude towards people, coupled with his talent and wisdom, that has won He Jiong wide respect and love in the entertainment industry. He is like a sun that never goes out, bringing warmth and strength to those around him wherever he goes.
However, starting in 2015, He Jiong's public image began to crack. A series of controversial events occurred one after another, gradually shaking his perfect image in the public mind.
The first is the 2015 "empty salary" incident. A teacher at Beijing University of Foreign Chinese named "Qiao Mu" took to social media to question He Jiong's public welfare as a public figure.
This remark quickly sparked a heated discussion among more than 100,000 netizens, and the spearhead of public opinion was directed at He Jiong. In the face of doubts, He Jiong and Beijing University of Foreign Chinese eventually responded, clarifying that He Jiong had ceased to teach since 2007 and had not received any salary.
Despite this, this incident still affected He Jiong's image to a certain extent.
In 2019, He Jiong's remarks in the variety show "Prince of Lipstick" sparked controversy again. In the show, He Jiong talked about the experience of receiving gifts from fans, and his words seemed to reveal a disapproving attitude.
He mentioned that he had accumulated a large number of drinking glasses and pens at home, and even jokingly suggested that fans buy stickers that were not so sticky. This remark was seen by many netizens as disrespectful to the hearts of fans, which triggered a strong backlash.
Although He Jiong later explained that he had declined fan gifts many times, the incident still cast a shadow over his public image.
In 2021, He Jiong was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion again because of the debt problem of his father's company. According to reports, the company founded by He Jiong's father was included in the list of dishonest enterprises because of arrears of more than 40 yuan in debts.
Some netizens questioned why He Jiong, as a successful person, couldn't help his father repay this relatively small debt. The incident raised questions about He Jiong's personal character.
Immediately afterwards, He Jiong's donations to his alma mater promised in his early years were revealed to have been delayed. He Jiong reportedly pledged to donate 800,000 yuan to Beijing University of Foreign Studies Chinese in 2015, but it didn't arrive until 2019.
The delay has raised questions about Mr. Ho's integrity.
This series of events has dealt a serious blow to He Jiong's public image. The former "He Bang" gradually disappeared, and many artists who had been helped by him chose to remain silent at this time.
He Jiong seems to have gone from being the "perfect idol" in people's minds to a point of controversy overnight.
These controversial events not only affected He Jiong's personal reputation, but also brought challenges to his career. From being sought after by thousands of people to being questioned, He Jiong's experience shows the fragility of the image of public figures, and the enormous influence of public opinion on celebrities in the age of social media.
He Jiong's experience reveals for us the difficulty of maintaining the image of public figures. In the age of social media, celebrities' words and deeds can be amplified, and the aura of the past can also become the target of criticism in an instant.
He Jiong's transformation from a "big brother in the entertainment industry" to the focus of controversy reflects the huge gap between public expectations and reality.
The story also shows the complexity of interpersonal relationships in the entertainment industry. When He Jiong was in trouble, the former "He Bang" phenomenon disappeared, and many people who had been helped by him chose to remain silent.
This phenomenon can't help but make people think about the nature of friendship in the entertainment industry.
He Jiong's experience reminds us that no one is perfect. We should look at public figures with a more rational and tolerant attitude, recognizing that they are also ordinary people with their own strengths and weaknesses.
At the same time, it also serves as a warning to public figures to be more cautious about maintaining their public image, maintaining consistency and sincerity in their words and deeds.
