Under the brilliance of the entertainment industry, we only see the aura and applause of the stars. But behind the aura, how hard it is often not discovered.
In this assembly-line entertainment industry, it is difficult for anyone to be remembered by the audience forever. Some people became famous overnight, and some people disappeared from the scene; some people gain fame and fortune, and some people died of desolation.
Today, we will review the stars who once became popular all over the country, but in the end they were extremely miserable.
1. Zhong Zhentao
In 1973, Tan Yonglin took Zhong Zhentao to find Chen You, Peng Jianxin, and Ye Zhiqiang, who were already famous at that time, and said to them, "This is the lead singer of our band."
Looking at the stranger in front of them, they couldn't believe it, but the helpless big brother Tan Yonglin spoke. Since then, the "Wen Na Five Tigers" has been on fire, and Zhong Zhentao has become a star in this way.
It was also from then on that the era of the "Wenna Five Tigers" came, and even affected the entire Hong Kong band, even Beyond at that time.
In addition to the music scene, Zhong Zhentao was also very influential in the film industry at that time. It can be said that Zhong Zhentao, like Zhou Xingchi and Jackie Chan, carries the memories of several generations.
In "New Jingwumen", Zhong Zhentao has this line:
"My dashing brother is destined to rise and fall, three poorer, four richer, only for brilliance and not for eternity."
No one expected that this sentence would become a prophecy of his life.
After marrying Zhang Xiaohui, a rich woman, Zhong Zhentao's economy encountered a great crisis because he could not bear Zhang Xiaohui's big spending. Finally, his wife cheated on billionaire Chen Yaomin.
In 1997, under the influence of the economic crisis, Zhong Zhentao went bankrupt and was in debt of HK$250 million. Compared with the luxury cars and mansions of the past, Zhong Zhentao's situation can only be described as miserable.
In October 2002, the court issued a bankruptcy order, and the once-popular star was completely ruined.
2. Asan
Asan's original name was Huang Yixuan, and because of her bleak voice, the company decided to give her this stage name. I just didn't expect that this stage name was also doomed to asan's ending.
In 2003, this was the golden age of the Chinese music scene. Asan officially debuted with "Leaves" and gained a foothold in the Chinese music scene where the gods fought. Subsequently, Asan became fully famous for "Lonely Singing" and "Gentle Mercy".
Just like her stage name, Asan's life can also be described as desolate.
His family was poor since childhood, and his parents divorced when they were in elementary school. Later, Asan lived in a relative's house, in order to reduce the burden on his relatives and to continue to study, Asan worked while going to school.
When he waited for fame, Asan did not come to enjoy this joy, and was taken away by the disease and took his young life.
On April 6, 2009, at the age of 34, Asan finally left after battling cancer until the last moment.
3. Pauline Chen
Paula Chan's life is also tragic, her parents divorced since she was a child, and when she was 12 years old, Shellian Chen came to Hong Kong to join her mother.
But her gambling-addicted mother only used Chen Baolian as a money-making machine and sent her to the beauty pageant. At the age of 17, her mother signed her up with a brokerage company to shoot "adult films."
At the age of 20, Chen Baolian met Mo Shaocong, who thought it was her salvation, but she did not expect that this became an abyss that she could never step out of.
Soon Mo Shaocong split his legs, and Chen Baolian was disheartened. Although I fell in love several times later, I didn't end up.
After falling into an emotional dispute with "Dry Daddy" Huang Renzhong, Chen Baolian began to become insane. Not only did he commit suicide and self-harm many times, but he was also stitched more than a dozen times for fighting.
Later, Chen Baolian became pregnant, but at that time, Chen Baolian was already very delirious, and coupled with the fact that the child was not her boyfriend, Chen Baolian committed suicide by jumping off a building not long after the birth of the child.
That year, Chen Baolian was only 29 years old.
4. Ren Jiao
In 2017, many major events occurred in the entertainment industry, such as Lu Han Guan Xiaotong's announcement of love affairs, Aaron Kwok's big wedding, and Bai Baihe's "one finger Zen" and so on. Few people know that another actress died that year.
Her name is Ren Jiao, she graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and won the second place in the Miss Intercontinental Shenzhen Competition in 2013.
In 2014, he got the opportunity to star in the movie "Zhong Kui Voldemort: Snow Demon Spirit" starring Li Bingbing and officially debuted. In 2015, he received a lot of attention for participating in "Running Man".
Soon after, it was rumored that Ren Jiao worshiped Zhao Benshan as a teacher, and it can be said that Ren Jiao at that time could look forward to the future.
On October 16, 2017, Ren Jiao fell naked and died in a hotel in Suzhou.
Two days before the fall, Ren Jiao also sent a dynamic, and she could hardly see anything unusual. Later, the media revealed that there was another male star in the hotel room that night, that is, Yang Xuwen.
You may be a little unfamiliar with the name Yang Xuwen, but you must have heard of his works. Take the recently popular "North And South" directed by Feng Xiaogang, yang Xuwen played the affectionate photographer Liu Liangzhou in the play.
Later, Yang Xuwen was taken away for investigation, and Ren Jiao was rumored to be depressed and drug addicted, but to this day, what the truth is is still controversial.
Ultimately, Ren Jiao's death was characterized as an accident and had nothing to do with anyone.
5. Xu Huaiyu
Due to the preference for sons over daughters, Xu Huaiyu grew up in discrimination. Later, when her father committed suicide, she was forced to live with her mother and younger siblings.
At the age of 13, in order to reduce the burden on the family, Xu Huaiyu began to wash the basin in the restaurant. It may be the favor of heaven, it may be the hard work of heaven, once she sang on the balcony and was heard by producer Weng Xiaoliang, who took her to join the Rolling Stones records.
After his debut, Xu Huaiyu became a hit, and the limelight even surpassed Zhang Huimei and Faye Wong at that time.
Later, Zhou Xingchi prepared to shoot "The King of Comedy" and prepared to invite Xu Huaiyu to participate in the role of "Liu Piaopiao". But Xu Huaiyu, who was squeezed by the company at the time and could not breathe, did not have the energy to participate at all, and was finally played by Cecilia Cheung.
It may be that the work pressure is too much, or it may be that he is squeezed too much, and Xu Huaiyu suffers from depression. At this time, her grandfather, who had discriminated against and even abused her, stood up and accused her of filial piety after seeing Xu Huaiyu become a star.
Under the pressure of public opinion and pressure, Xu Huaiyu completely collapsed, and the company also hid her. Later, although Xu Huaiyu made a comeback, her fame was not as good as before, and the company stood up to make up for the knife at this time and asked her to compensate for liquidated damages.
The huge liquidated damages made it difficult for her to breathe, and finally after all the property such as houses and cars were mortgaged, Xu Huaiyu became an ordinary person who could not even maintain her life.
