In 2017, a blockbuster news was transmitted back to China from United States, which instantly caused an uproar in the domestic public opinion field.
The news is - Zhou Libo, a well-known Chinese comedian, was arrested by United States police for illegally possessing guns and taking drugs in his car.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this news made Zhou Libo, who had disappeared from the public eye for several years, become a figure on the cusp again, and also opened his final "road to death"......
A talented comedian
Zhou Libo was born into a wealthy Shanghai family, which allowed him to live a worry-free life since he was a child.
However, material abundance did not hide his academic woes. He is always absent-minded in class, and his grades are often a headache for parents.
However, Zhou Libo's father has unusual expectations for his son's future.
Zhou Libo was smart and clever when he was young, especially in language expression, and he was gifted.
His eloquence is not just a "good talk" in the general sense, but also the ability to quickly grasp the essence of the dialogue, often expressed in a humorous way, which always makes the audience laugh.
At the age of 14, with the encouragement of his father, Zhou Libo entered the turning point of his fate - the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe.
His father took him by the hand and walked into the office of the troupe with its old stage lighting.
Very smoothly, Zhou Libo was admitted to the troupe and worshiped under the disciple of burlesque master Zhou Bochun.
After several years of hard work, Zhou Libo's talent soon began to be revealed.
His typhoon has a sense of humor and a strong sense of rhythm in his language, and the audience often laughs back and forth when he performs.
Zhou Baichun also gradually saw the potential of this disciple and began to take him on stage with him, and more audiences began to know the "most talkative young man" in this burlesque troupe.
At the beginning of this century, China's comedy market gradually heated up, and various variety shows and entertainment programs sprung up.
This made Zhou Libo see an unprecedented opportunity.
He is acutely aware that traditional burlesque, while classic, cannot satisfy the needs of new-age audiences, especially younger audiences.
He began to wonder if he could combine traditional Chinese cross talk with Western talk shows to create a new art form.
Such an idea was bold at the time.
Zhou Libo pondered this idea repeatedly, and finally, Zhou Libo decided to give it a go.
He launched a new form of performance, combining elements of cross talk and talk show.
In the performance, he is not only to amuse the audience, but also to combine social hotspots to attract people's attention.
Soon, Zhou Libo's show became popular all over the city, not only did the box office revenue increase significantly, but also invited online and offline cooperation to come.
As his popularity grew, Zhou Libo's stage grew bigger and bigger, and he became one of China's hottest comedians.
Humanity hidden in the dark
Zhou Libo's career can be said to be soaring all the way, standing at the pinnacle of Chinese comedy. However, as his fame grew, his personality flaws gradually came to light.
Back then, Zhou Libo, who had just emerged in the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe, was talented and in the limelight.
The applause of the troupe and the laughter of the audience gave him infinite confidence, and even made him think that his success was all due to talent and had nothing to do with the guidance of others.
In the face of the interview, he once said unabashedly: "Zhou Libo's teacher is Zhou Libo himself. ”
This sentence was like a cold stone, smashing the heart of his mentor Zhou Bochun, who had given him guidance. Zhou Baichun, who heard this, did not make any public response, but the disappointment in his heart was obvious.
Compared with the smooth sailing of his career, Zhou Libo's private life is full of turmoil and controversy.
When he was just becoming famous, he met his girlfriend Zhang Jie.
Zhang Jie is a gentle and kind girl, who accompanies Zhou Libo wholeheartedly and is willing to silently support his career.
However, Zhang Jie's father has always been opposed to the relationship between the two, thinking that Zhou Libo is too arrogant, lacks cultivation in words and deeds, and is not suitable to be his daughter's lifelong partner at all.
As a father who cares for his daughter, he has dissuaded Zhang Jie many times, hoping that she will leave Zhou Libo and reconsider her future.
However, Zhou's reaction surprised everyone. He did not try to win back his father-in-law's trust, but because of anger, he went directly to Zhang Jie's father to theorize.
In a fierce quarrel, the conflict escalated, and Zhou Libo actually beat Zhang Jie's father, causing the other party's eyes to be seriously injured and disabled for life.
This incident once caused a huge storm in Zhang Jie's family, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jie still chose to stand on Zhou Libo's side, as if all his mistakes could be forgiven.
She was convinced that she could change him, and in the end the two entered the palace of marriage.
However, marriage did not bring Zhang Jie the happiness she expected. Zhou Libo's temper not only did not converge, but became more serious.
Soon after marriage, Zhang Jie began to suffer domestic violence.
At the same time, Zhou Libo's reputation outside the country is thriving, and almost every one of his performances is full. The audience was so impressed by his sharp rhetoric and witty performance that they were completely unaware of the scarred woman behind the stage.
As Zhou Libo's fame and wealth continued to accumulate, all kinds of people began to surround him.
Among them, there is a rich woman named Zhou Jie who is particularly eye-catching.
Zhou Jie is not only a loyal audience of Zhou Libo, but also loves him.
Zhou Jie was generous to him, not only in terms of financial support, but also in spiritual comfort.
Her gentleness and financial resources made Zhou Libo completely moved. During that time, Zhou Jie became an important presence in his life. In the face of Zhou Jie's unconditional dedication, Zhou Libo quickly abandoned Zhang Jie and ended their marriage.
The moment Zhang Jie learned that she was completely abandoned, the pain in her heart was indescribable.
She had given everything for this man, endured countless humiliations and violence, but in exchange for such a cruel ending.
Angry, she decided not to be silent anymore and made Zhou Libo's evil deeds public. Through social platforms, Zhang Jie disclosed her experience of domestic violence, and also exposed the little-known dark side of Zhou Libo.
The revelations caused an uproar online.
The public has never seen such Zhou Libo, and his humorous image on stage is in strong contrast with the image of the tyrant described by Zhang Jie.
Public opinion quickly fermented, and netizens criticized Zhou Libo's behavior and strongly questioned his moral character.
At the same time, at work, Zhou Libo's arrogance became more and more exposed.
Not only did he publicly show off his life of poverty and luxury, but he also repeatedly made inappropriate remarks on the show.
In a show, he unabashedly ridiculed Guo Degang, saying that he was a "garlic eater" and unworthy of being on the same stage as him, a "coffee drinker".
As soon as this remark came out, it not only angered Guo Degang's fans, but also made many colleagues in the comedy circle disgusted with him.
However, none of this made Zhou Libo aware of his problem.
On the contrary, his rhetoric has become more and more extreme, and he has even begun to make borderless comments on hot issues in society.
This unbridled rhetoric eventually cost him a large number of supporters. Zhou Libo, whose reputation plummeted, had to choose to settle abroad with his new wife Zhou Jie, away from the Chinese entertainment industry.
However, Zhou Libo does not seem to stop there.
In 2017, he was detained by local police in the United States for carrying contraband. This news has been transmitted back to China and has once again aroused widespread attention.
The public's impression of him completely collapsed, and Zhou Libo's image changed from a former comedy genius to a representative of "bad artists".
In the face of such a storm of public opinion, Zhou Libo did not choose to apologize or reflect.
Instead, he publicly defended himself and even questioned state media reports, arguing that he had been wronged. Such an attitude further infuriated netizens, and his reputation was completely irretrievable.
Since then, Zhou Libo has completely embarked on a "road of no return......
