Zhou Libo's show was sold out, and even scalpers couldn't find his tickets. Tickets were sold to sky-high prices. At the peak of his career, a tour brought him an eye-popping figure – hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
This fully demonstrates his super popularity and commercial value.
Zhou Libo's life can be described as a spring breeze and full of spirit. He stood in the spotlight, and the cheers and applause of the audience filled him with a sense of accomplishment and pride. His social circle has also expanded, and he is no longer limited to ordinary friends, but has close contacts with celebrities from all walks of life.
Zhou Libo even became the best man of star Huang Xiaoming, officiating at the wedding of the well-known host Yang Lan, showing his high popularity and extensive connections in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Libo reached the pinnacle of his career during this period. His talent has been fully displayed and has been fully recognized by the audience. The saying "there is Guo Degang in the north and Zhou Libo in the south" has been widely spread in society, and he has almost become a talk show actor on the same level as Guo Degang.
However, Zhou Libo did not know that in the tide of fame and fortune, he was gradually losing himself and walking towards a turning point in his fate step by step. The enthusiastic young man who used to pursue art persistently has now been carried away by great success, and even forgot his original intention.
This subtle psychological change, although not obvious, laid the groundwork for his future tragic fate.
Zhou Libo's career is booming, and his life has changed dramatically. was originally just an ordinary person, but he became a popular star. He began to immerse himself in a lifestyle of extreme luxury, becoming extremely quality-oriented.
His consumption in daily life is even more jaw-dropping: he drinks imported coffee every day, smokes top-quality cigars, always has precious sea cucumbers and authentic bird's nest on the table, drinks expensive red wine, and wears first-line famous brands.
Luxury cars and mansions are the standard for him to show off his status, and countless luxuries fill his life. Zhou Libo even hired a personal butler to be on call around the clock to meet all his needs.
This lifestyle contrasts with the simplicity of his early years, as if overnight, he made the leap to the top of high society.
Zhou Libo's nightlife is extremely luxurious, he frequently goes to high-end nightclubs, his money is like flowing water, he is accompanied by beautiful women on the left and right, and enjoys the luxury that was once out of reach. He also has a dedicated manager on call 24 hours a day who takes care of all his nightlife needs.
Such a way of life is no different from that of the ancient palace aristocracy.
His social sphere has also gradually expanded, and he is no longer just socializing with ordinary friends, but also has close relationships with celebrities and international celebrities in various fields. Zhou Libo has fully integrated into the entertainment industry, and he is always indispensable for all kinds of high-end parties and social occasions.
However, Zhou Libo's inner sense of direction began to disappear under the superficial brilliance of his achievements. He began to believe that he was a unique "son of heaven" and took everything for granted.
The hot-blooded young man who once sweated for art has now been blinded by fame and vanity and has forgotten his original intention.
Zhou Libo was immersed in his own success and did not realize that he was gradually deviating from the right track in life. His words and deeds became more and more arrogant, and his inner sense of superiority grew stronger and stronger.
He began to be self-righteous, to treat others as he pleased, and no longer cared about the feelings of others.
This change in mentality not only changed Zhou Libo's interpersonal relationships, but also affected his career development. He began to focus less on improving his artistic skills and more on the material benefits of success.
Zhou Libo seems to have forgotten that it is the audience's love that has made him who he is today, and he attributes all his success to his natural talent.
This attitude foreshadowed the tragedy that followed. Zhou Libo didn't realize that he was slowly losing the self that once made the audience love, and replaced him with an arrogant person who was bewitched by fame and fortune.
As his status climbed, Zhou Libo's words and deeds became more and more arrogant, and he began to "tear each other" with various celebrities in the entertainment industry, constantly arguing with his peers. This behavior not only shows his arrogance, but also gradually destroys his image in the public mind.
The most eye-catching thing is the dispute between Zhou Libo and Guo Degang, the head of Deyun Club, Zhou Libo once ridiculed Guo Degang, saying that "those who eat garlic are not worthy of performing on the same stage as those who drink coffee", this remark slandered his talk show as elegant as coffee, and Guo Degang's cross talk is vulgar like garlic, which is not only an attack on Guo Degang personally, but also a belittling of the entire cross talk industry.
Zhou Libo's arrogance has reached the point where no one is in his eyes, and he doesn't even pay attention to the respected seniors in the industry.
However, these remarks not only did not reduce his popularity, but instead made him continue to gain popularity amid the controversy. This phenomenon that violates common sense makes Zhou Libo even more rampant, mistakenly thinking that he can arbitrarily evaluate and belittle others.
Zhou Libo's arrogant behavior is not only that, he also had disputes with Yan Jun, Li Yong and others, and the contradiction between him and Tang Shuang is even more sensational, this series of events constantly refreshes the public's perception of Zhou Libo, and also causes the public to question his personality.
In a public occasion, Zhou Libo even ridiculed the Spring Festival Gala, slandering himself that only by going to the Spring Festival Gala could he know 900 million farmers. This remark not only satirized the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, but also lowered the status of the peasant group.
This unrestrained arrogance disappointed and angered many viewers who once loved him.
However, Zhou Libo's most shocking act was the beating of his father-in-law, which began when he had a disagreement with the father of his ex-wife, Zhang Jie. Zhang Jie's father has always disapproved of Zhou Libo and felt that he was not worthy of his daughter.
During a conversation, the two sides argued, and Zhou Libo acted on his father-in-law in a fit of rage, causing his father-in-law to lose sight in one eye, which not only put Zhou Libo in the detention center, but also seriously damaged his public image.
In the face of these negative news, Zhou Libo not only did not reflect, but became more arrogant. He seems to have forgotten that it was the audience's affection that got him to where he is today, and instead attributed all his success to his own talent.
This attitude made his favorability in the hearts of the audience continue to decline, and a large number of negative news exposed on the Internet continue to affect him.
Zhou Libo's words and deeds are becoming more and more unpleasant, but he is unaware, as if he is indulging in his own world, boasting of superiority, and unscrupulous remarks about others. This arrogant attitude undoubtedly laid a deep foreshadowing for his future fall.
Zhou Libo seems to have forgotten that in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, no one can be invincible forever.
In 2017, Zhou Libo experienced ups and downs in his life and career in United States. He was stopped by the police in the United States for "walking on the road" and "driving on the phone", originally thought it was just an ordinary traffic violation, but the incident revealed a little-known side of his life.

This gun and drug case has caused a great sensation in both China and the United States. Zhou Libo, who was once known as a "national comedian", became a "suspect" overnight, and his image was seriously frustrated.
The whole case has gone through 11 court sessions and has been widely concerned by all walks of life.

Zhou Libo's image fell from the clouds in an instant, and he became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten, and the trust and love of the audience was gone.
For Zhou Libo, the impact of this incident is far more than the loss of the career he has worked hard for many years, and what is even more unbearable is that he has also lost the public's trust and respect for him, which is more serious than the punishment of the law.
Zhou Libo's gap in recent years makes people sigh and sigh, he is no longer as beautiful as in the past, and he has lost the domestic stage, so that he has to avoid living abroad. used to be the host of "poisonous tongue", but now he lacks the courage to even return to China, and this gap really makes people feel the unpredictability of fate.

This former representative of the "Shanghai School Qingkou" can only spend a lonely life in a foreign country.
As a bright star, Zhou Libo went from being talented in his youth to becoming a well-known talk show host of a generation, to being in prison due to legal disputes, and finally forced to abandon his homeland and live in exile, his life is like a modern version of "Rise and Fall".
