On January 19, 2016, New York police announced that Zhou Libo, a well-known Chinese talk show actor, was arrested on the spot for carrying cocaine and a gun. What is deeply surprising is that when the news reached China, netizens did not have any sympathy, how did this Haipai Qingkou master, who was once popular all over the country, fall step by step to today?
Drug
Zhou Libo was arrested in the United States this time, and it was related to drugs. In fact, in 2009, Zhou Libo's ex-wife Zhang Jie broke the news on the Internet that Zhou Libo had a history of drug abuse. In the exposé, Zhang Jie wrote: "Zhou Libo, you don't lie anymore! You're not a drug addict, you have four years of drug history! In a hotel on Yan'an Road, in a place in Xujiahui, in the bar of Huating Hotel... You take drugs again and again, you are unconscious, your fox friends call in the middle of the night, who drags you home like a dead pig again and again, have you forgotten! Who in your circle of friends doesn't know you're taking drugs? Why do you have to deny lying and die putting gold in your face? How can such a lawless and disorderly fact, which is deeply hated by ordinary people, be fine with a sentence of "drunk"? If I planted you, I would like to be sent by heaven!!! Please stop "performing" in black and white. You can deceive for a while, but you can't cheat for a lifetime. Tell you Zhou Libo, I am no longer the weak and deceitful Zhang Jie in your previous eyes who will only bow down and obey orders, I see the power of China's legal system, and I see the power of people's attention and conscience! Afterwards, Zhou Libo interpreted this as his own drunken state.

Blind my father-in-law
Although Zhou Libo's divorce from Zhang Jie later caused a storm in the city, Zhou Libo also did an out-of-the-ordinary thing for Zhang Jie that year. When he was young, Zhou Libo and Zhang Jie talked about sister-brother love, but his father-in-law thought that Zhou Libo was a burlesque actor, and he was younger than his daughter and unreliable, and had always opposed this marriage. Later, his father-in-law talked to Zhou Libo for a showdown, and as a result, Zhou Libo blinded his father-in-law on a whim, and was subsequently prosecuted and imprisoned for 205 days. This directly led to Zhou Libo being forced to leave the stage, causing a lot of regret in the comic community. Later, Zhang Jie still married Zhou Libo, and Zhou Libo still recognized this father-in-law after he was released from prison, but this relationship that had been recognized after suffering was not long, and after that, Zhou Libo divorced Zhang Jie and came together with Hu Jie, a rich woman in Wenzhou, which made people sigh.
Marital issues
Zhang Jie is a person who cannot be bypassed in Zhou Libo's life. In 1990, Zhou Libo fell in love with Zhang Jie, who was 6 years older than himself. In 1991, Zhang Jie resisted the pressure of her parents and married him. In 1993, the two divorced by agreement. In 2001, Zhou Libo came to Japan and found Zhang Jie. Zhang Jie was already having a son with her Japanese husband at the time. At that time, Zhou Libo, who had divorced Zhang Jie, had failed in his business in China, and he decided to go to Japan to find his wife. "Remembering the previous marital relationship, I took him in and registered to marry him in Osaka, Japan, and in this way, Zhou Libo got a visa for the spouse of the Permanent Resident of Japan."
Zhang Jie claimed that "(after remarriage) I struggled to support this family with my weak shoulders." Zhou Libo did not speak Japanese, could not find a job outside, and his wife's income became his only dependence. However, "all my efforts were exchanged for Zhou Libo's 'domestic violence'." He reached for food and opened his mouth, and the slightest displeasure made him angry at me. When I found out about his adultery with the rich woman, he grabbed me by the neck and threatened me, threatening to speak out, or that he would kill me and my children without divorcing him..."
For the sake of Zhou Libo, Zhang Jie divorced her Japanese husband, left the house, and remarried Zhou Libo in Japan. In 2008, Zhou Libo left home and the two separated. On January 24, 2010, Zhou Libo and his ex-wife Zhang Jie agreed to divorce.
In the end, the two turned against each other from a loving couple. In 2009, Zhang Jie published blog posts such as "Zhou Libo Abandoned His Wife and Son for The Rich Wife", "Zhou Libo's Birthday Gift - Porsche Sent by the Rich Woman", "Zhou Libo's Drug Abuse", "Zhou Libo's Domestic Violence", "Zhou Libo and Hu Jie's Illegal Place of Intercourse".
Break up with the "benefactor"
In addition to the boiling up between the affairs with his wife, Zhou Libo and the "benefactor" Guan Dongtian also broke up unhappily.
In early 2006, Zhou Libo, who developed in Japan after his release from prison, gave up business and returned to Shanghai with the encouragement of Guan Dongtian. Guan Dongtian, after watching Dong Du laugh in Guangdong at that time, gave the video to Zhou Libo, hoping that he would try to open up the Haipai Clearance Performance, and even help him take care of all the matters before and after, and the original intention of serving as the artistic director was to "check" for Zhou Libo on the spot, and set him "military rules" such as "can't go on TV".
Guan Dongtian previously said in an interview with the media: "The reason why I hope to help Zhou Libo is that I feel that no one has such a talent and joy as him, and his popularity is inevitable." Therefore, at that time, the two used Sun Xuchun's company to test the waters of "Haipai Qingkou". Later, the fire.
At the end of September 2009, Zhou Libo also said such a passage at the rehearsal site of Guan Dongtian's new Peking Opera "Guan Sheng": "Without Guan Dongtian, there would be no Zhou Libo." In life and career, Guan Dongtian is my eldest brother, and I will always be his little brother. Zhou Libo also said at that time that he was very willing to support Guan Dongtian in the performance of the Spring Festival of "Guan Sheng".
But before the Spring Festival, in December 2009, Zhou Libo's new season of "I Am Crazy for Money" had just begun to report the news that the two were incompatible, but at that time Guan Dongtian was still Zhou Libo's "announcer", and the cooperation between the two did not see obvious abnormalities until the news of the breakup was officially exposed on August 14, 2010.
On the afternoon of August 15, Zhou Libo and Guan Dongtian were interviewed by reporters and confirmed the news of the "breakup" - Zhou Libo, who was on vacation in New York, said: "There will be no announcers in the future Haipai Clearance. Guan Dongtian also said in an interview, "Cooperation is indeed uncooperative, there are definitely reasons, but I don't want to say it." At that time, Zhou Libo faced Guan Dongtian, who had the grace of promotion, and said the sentence: "A bowl of pickled rice ten years ago, you can't always serve abalone shark fin every day, right?" ”

Talent show storm
After Zhou Libo cleared his mouth with the Haipai fire, he hosted the "China's Got Talent Show" of Oriental Satellite TV. In the later stage of cooperation, the news that Zhou Libo and "China's Got Talent" had an awkward quarrel came out from time to time, and during the finals of the small Chinese New Year's Eve talent show, "Zhou Libo sat on the ground and asked for a package price of 10 million", "traveled to squander the producer's money, and ate more than 100,000 yuan for a meal" and other news broke out, and suddenly absent at the finals, and Oriental Satellite TV also publicly stated: "We respect his personal choice." Zhou Libo's goodbye to Oriental Satellite TV this time is the result of a long-standing grudge between the two sides.
In 2012, Zhou Libo began to defect to Zhejiang Satellite TV, and "China Dream Show" gave him ten million to serve as a dream mentor. In the program, due to ignorance of Chinese tradition, causing controversy, many netizens collectively denounced Zhou Libo, who did not even know the traditional costumes of the Han people, did not respect traditional culture, and expressed extreme dissatisfaction with his use of words such as "aid field" and "bathing center" on occasions when there were children.
Cannon fame
At the same time as the fire, the reputation of Zhou Libo's cannon also grew, and it caused heated discussion many times.
Zhou Libo made wild remarks in his own program, saying that he was drinking coffee and Guo Degang was eating garlic, which triggered the "elegant" and "vulgar" confrontation between the two people.
To this end, Xu Zheng said in the farce evaluating Zhou Libo and Guo Degang that "Zhou Libo's technique is slightly sloppy." Unexpectedly, this comment was responded to by Zhou Libo's Weibo " Little brother! You dress up like a pig, you play a person. ”
In the variety show, Zhou Libo did not forget to complain. Once in the show Zhou Libo sprayed Du Haitao "Are you entertaining the audience or fooling the audience?" That's how the small platform came. At that time, Du Haitao was already the host of Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Base Camp", which made Du Haitao unable to get off the stage.
Later, it was also revealed that Zhou Libo was a "Taiwan hegemon." Zhou Libo's performance on the stage of the "China Dream Show" has been controversial, and the guest of the show, Huang Huan, once accused Zhou Libo of his "Taiwan hegemony" style on the spot, saying that he was too arbitrary and controlled the rhythm of the show to a mess. Earlier, there were also rumors that Zhu Dan and Hua Shao both resigned from the show because they could not stand Zhou Libo's style. The sixth season of "China Dream Show" was recorded a few days ago, and many viewers who participated in the recording also complained about Zhou Libo's "Taiwan hegemony" style on forums and Weibo.
Netizens "thank the hen" revealed that the host Yali was repeatedly accused and reprimanded by Zhou Libo, and when the program was recorded, Yali had proposed that Zhao Zhongxiang interact with the guests, and was forcefully interrupted by Zhou Libo in public, "Yali, you are not right like this, you have no right to arrange this, listen to my continued going down." The female host, who was repeatedly accused by Zhou Libo of being ruthless, was finally angry and cried, directly walked off the stage, and recalled the remaining programs, and finally Zhou Libo himself temporarily "cameoed" the host to complete the final link.
Even in a previous performance video, he had insulted the Audience of the Spring Festival Gala at that time, and I did not even bother to go on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and the audience of the Spring Festival Gala was farmers. I didn't want so many peasants to know me, walking and jumping, and then said that people who talk about crosstalk should not wear long shirts, and then said that people who talk about sketches should not walk according to the normal people's route, and also learned Zhao Benshan's expression to sing. He also said that many of his friends in the northeast would not pretend to be a clown. Just because of this sentence, it was bombarded by many netizens.

Performance short board
Zhou Libo was on fire because of the Haipai clearing his mouth. At the end of 2008, Haipai Qingkou "Thirty Years of Laughter", "Laughing at Shanghai", "Laughing at Shanghai", and "I Am Crazy for Money", which was created by him and mainly in Shanghainese and supplemented by Mandarin, became popular throughout the country. As he hosted more and more shows, the audience slowly discovered his shortcomings. Under the question of how to know Zhou Libo, some netizens left a comment: From the performance, Zhou Libo has a short board, and his short board is actually reflected in the Haipai Qingkou, but at that time, the Haipai Qingkou was too hot for many people to ignore.
Then the netizen summed up: First of all, his face is not good, and the performance always reveals a leper temperament that cannot be hidden. After this temperament, Zhou Libo and Cui Yongyuan's xiao Cui said that libo was fully reflected in the libo show. Secondly, he has pushed himself to the status of a spokesperson for Shanghai culture countless times - he does not have this qualification, Shanghai culture is a person can represent, he mentioned the tone countless times, always appeared superior in clothing, but always gave people a nouveau riche temperament (this is actually not to blame him), he tried his best to reflect a kind of wisdom in his speech, but his culture is not accumulated, the wisdom embodied is rigid, it is pretended rather than from the inside out.
One Zhou Libo show will be this kind of "wisdom" revealed no doubt, for this show Zhou Libo completely abandoned his advantages, do not speak Shanghainese, the network paragraph copied a copy, the problem is ordinary to say the paragraph who will not say. In addition, he desperately wanted to maintain his image, away from the ordinary citizens of Shanghai who promoted him, and eventually the show made him completely withdraw from the Shanghai screen.
All this eventually made everyone who was expected to be comparable to Guo Degang and Zhao Benshan fall. Although Zhou Libo has a lot of materials, there are also touching moments. Gao Xiaosong said on Weibo that once he was doing a program with Zhou Libo, zhou Libo received a call from the hospital, saying that two heart disease children had no money for surgery, and he sent someone to send money on the spot. Because he made an appointment with the CDC to notify the child whose parents had given up treatment. People always have many faces, and Zhou Libo is no exception, but his work eventually reduced him to the field he is today.
