People yearn for freedom, but due to the pressure of all aspects of life and career, people are often involuntary, one wrong step, one wrong step, a wrong choice will lead to falling into the abyss and unable to extricate themselves.
If a star wants to sit back and relax and maintain a long-red state, he needs to rely on capital, which is the capital that star artists are proud of. If you meet a good owner, the star flying yellow Tengda is just around the corner. But many celebrities have fallen out with the company, and the reason is that the stars have suffered all kinds of unfair treatment, not only have their careers not progressed, but their lives are also a mess.
Not long ago, 34-year-old Hong Kong actress Jiang Ruolin, accompanied by her husband, appeared in court with the brokerage company, and Jiang Ruolin hoped that she could defend her legal rights through legal means, rather than being like a caged bird, without freedom to say, but also at the mercy of others. What the hell is going on? Why did she and the company get into such trouble?
01 Jiang Ruolin: Like a puppet of a brokerage company
The relationship between the company and the artist has always been based on a good working relationship. The company's attitude towards artists is profitable, and the star's requirements for the company are to hope to be able to get more resources through a larger platform and be invincible in the entertainment industry.
In this way, it is a mutually beneficial process. But in real life, it is impossible to have such a smooth sailing. Most companies are unable to accurately locate their artists, resulting in the stagnation of celebrities' careers. Once a star's fame goes down, it has no use value for the company, so many companies will squeeze the last bit of residual value of the artist.
In the face of this unfair treatment, the stars will not swallow their anger, but because of the contract signed, it basically takes a lot of energy to fight the lawsuit.
Some time ago, Hong Kong actress Jiang Ruolin appeared in court, and the lawsuit between her and the brokerage company has lasted for 7 years and is still inconclusive. The reason for this is that both sides have their own opinions and explain the origin of the matter from their own point of view.
As a popular Hong Kong female star, Jiang Ruolin's pure appearance reveals a charm, and the successful interpretation of many movies has made her the leader of the new generation of jade women. Such achievements can also be attributed to the brokerage company behind Jiang Ruolin. Because her appearance and acting skills were favored by the company's hostess, her subsequent work arrangements were tailored by the company.
Just when Jiang Ruolin's career was very good, she was exposed by the media to intervene in the marriage of the company owner, and this news also made Jiang Ruolin's personal design completely collapse. Without the support of fans, Jiang Ruolin's career plummeted. Such artists have not much use value for the company, and Jiang Ruolin has suffered from the company's unequal treatment.
In order to improve her appearance, Jiang Ruolin was required by the company to remove all her teeth and then replace them with porcelain teeth, but the final effect was not satisfactory, resulting in Jiang Ruolin's current teeth being untidy. In addition, in order to maintain Jiang Ruolin's perfect body, the company required her not to get pregnant, and this provision completely deprived Jiang Ruolin of her right to be a mother.
When Jiang Ruolin's career was not as good as before, the company began to squeeze her residual value, and the work of continuous rotation made Jiang Ruolin breathless. When Jiang Ruolin entered the crew life, the living conditions of the company in all aspects were very poor, in order to be able to rest well, Jiang Ruolin needed to rely on sleeping pills every night to fall asleep.
In a large-scale event, Jiang Ruolin appeared in the light incident, which once again fell into criticism. At this time, the company did not act at all, and did not make any public relations activities, so far Jiang Ruolin's reputation and image in the public mind have dropped another notch.
After the star loses his fame, the agent next to him will look down on people and often throw things at her in anger, and Jiang Ruolin's resources that she thinks are good will also be pushed away by the company. At this time, she is more like a bird in a cage, without freedom, like a slave at the mercy of others. The company's inaction gradually discouraged Jiang Ruolin, so she had the idea of leaving the company.
02 It is difficult to defend rights as it is to ascend to the heavens
After having the idea of leaving, Jiang Ruolin ignored the company's arrangement, because she was determined to go to court with the company. In 2004, Jiang Ruolin signed a 10-year cooperative relationship with Huanyu Company, but in the last year of the contract, the company implemented a renewal, and Jiang Ruolin still needed to be tied to the company for nearly ten years, which further strengthened Jiang Ruolin's determination to leave.
When the person in charge of the company knew about Jiang Ruolin's unfair encounters over the years, he said that he didn't know anything and asked Jiang Ruolin why he didn't tell her sooner? Such a set of superficial and behind-the-scenes styles made Jiang Ruolin cry bitterly.
Now she appears in court accompanied by her husband, which is her seventh year in a lawsuit with the company. Artists and companies terminate contracts abound, and we don't know how many unequal treaties are hidden in them.
The news of South Korean actress Zhang Ziyan's suicide due to the company's torture is still vivid, and her experience is even more tragic than Jiang Ruolin.'s. Zhang Ziyan, who is born beautiful and has a great future, has met the devil company. When filming the passion scene, the company did not ask, resulting in the male actor violating Zhang Ziyan on the grounds of filming, which was also the beginning of Zhang Ziyan's nightmare.
The company threatened and lured her to accompany the guests, and if she did not comply, she was greeted by punches and kicks. According to media reports, Zhang Ziyan has experienced hundreds of sex transactions, accompanied 31 dignitaries and dignitaries, and Zhang Ziyan needs to accompany five different guests at most a day. As soon as this inhumane beastly behavior broke out, it caused an uproar among the people of the whole world.
It's disgusting that the relationship between the agency and the artist can be darkened to this point. There are still many female artists like Zhang Ziyan who have experienced it, I dare not imagine. Involuntariness is not the reason for these mercenary companies to intensify, when encountering unfair treatment, we must bravely stand up and use legal means to protect their rights and interests.
Many brokerage companies only recognize money and have no human touch, which is also the reason why the stars terminated their contracts. Nowadays, more and more artists set up their own studios, which is enough to show how terrible it is to be squeezed by the company. Jiang Ruolin and the brokerage company have gone through a seven-year lawsuit and are still inconclusive, but we believe that justice will never be late.
Like Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Hu Ge and other artists who can reach good cooperation with the company, there are only a few artists, not only requiring the personal ability of the star, but also requiring the company to be humane and truly run for win-win cooperation. Just simply squeezing artists, such companies will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the market. What do you think about that?
In the past 25 years, South Korea has evolved from an agrarian society to a highly competitive high-tech society. The rapid modernization of society has multiplied the pressure on the South Korean people, and since the Asian financial crisis in the 1990s, many Koreans have lost the guarantee of stable jobs that they used to take for granted, while the divorce rate in South Korea has reached a record high, the family as the traditional "spiritual pillar" is collapsing, and people have to bear the pressure of getting ahead of the world whether they work or study. South Korea went from having one of the lowest suicide rates in the world 25 years ago to having the highest suicide rates among OECD countries. In 2005, 26.1 people per 100,000 people in South Korea committed suicide, surpassing Japan (20.3) where suicide culture prevails. That number dropped to 21.5 in 2007, still twice the average suicide rate in OECD countries. South Korea is not an exaggeration to call itself a "suicide powerhouse." In South Korea's entertainment industry, suicides have increased, especially in recent years. Scattered thinkers here give you an inventory of the suicides of Korean artists and analyze the reasons for their suicide.
Park Long River
On June 30, Park Yong-ho, a South Korean entertainer who starred in works such as "Winter Love Song", was found hanging himself in his room in the early morning, at the age of 33. Park Yong-ho took into account the operation of the agency company and his own acting career, coupled with his father's terminal illness, usually accumulated a lot of pressure, coupled with a momentary impulse after drunkenness, which eventually led to the tragedy. It's a pity, still a young handsome guy. The fan thinker is sorry for him.
Lee Chang-rong
On March 12, according to South Korean media reports, South Korean singer Lee Chang-yong hanged himself in his home in the early hours of the same day, at the age of 38. According to reports, Li Changrong went bankrupt because of the financial crisis that led to the bankruptcy of his company, and years of hard work and sweat disappeared, and he chose to commit suicide in discouragement. This is the second suicide incident of an artist in South Korea in March.
Born in 1971, Lee Chang-yong debuted in 1992 with the first place in KBS TV's "National Song Competition", and has released a number of Tott song albums so far, which are loved by middle-aged and elderly korean fans. Li Changrong, who rushed out of the world in the music world, also went to the sea to do business and opened his own company, but the sudden financial crisis shattered his dreams...
Zhang Ziyan
At 16:30 p.m. on March 7, actress Jang Zi-yeon, who played an adulterous role in the popular Korean drama "Fancy Man", was found by friends and committed suicide at the age of 26 in her residence in Gyeonggi-do, Seoul. The police are investigating the cause of her suicide, and it is rumored that she hanged herself. A spokesperson for Zhang Ziyan's firm was interviewed by the media, saying that she had a lively personality and was passionate about acting, so she did not understand the reason for her suicide. However, Zhang Ziyan's friend revealed that she recently had a problem with the firm on the renewal of her contract, and the role in the series was less than expected, so she felt quite annoyed and had depression symptoms. In fact, she committed suicide because she rebelled against the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. Scattered thinkers see that although many Korean artists have committed suicide, they have not had a great impact on her suicide, and her death has completely exposed the unspoken rules of the Korean entertainment industry.
Zhang Ziyan lives
Zhang Ziyan just attended the Baixiang Awards Ceremony on February 27
Lee Seo Hyun
Lee Seo-hyun, the captain of the South Korean music group M.Street, hanged himself in a practice room in Seoul on the afternoon of December 1. Lee Seo-hyun had borrowed hundreds of millions of won from people around him to speculate in stocks before his death, but as the South Korean economy deteriorated, all the money Lee Seo-hyun borrowed was trapped by the stock market. It is understood that Li Ruizhen was still running around to pay off debts until the day before his suicide, so some people speculated that Li Ruixian's suicide may be due to the failure of stock speculation. According to Lee Seo-hyun's agency, because M.Street is recently preparing to launch a new album, Lee Seo-hyun, as the captain, bears more pressure than other members, which may also be one of the reasons for Lee Seo-hyun's suicide.
Kim Ji-ho
October seems to have become the month of death in the Korean showbiz industry, following the suicide of Choi Zhen and Jang Choi Won, the news that model and actor Kim Ji-ho hanged himself on the 7th. He was found in his home on the morning of the 7th. The time of suicide may be on the evening of the 6th. Born in 1985, Kim Ji-ho served as the chief model of many famous Costume Designer Costume Shows in South Korea, and then he challenged his acting skills, starring in TV series such as SBS "Land", MBC "Plastic Surgery", "Unstoppable HighKick", TVN "Coming Out" and so on. During the filming of "Comingout", he first revealed to the outside world that he was gay and caused the topic.
On the afternoon of the 6th, perhaps a few hours before his death, Jin Zhihou posted a photo on his mini-homepage that seemed to fly into the sky, which may have hinted at Jin Zhihou's decision to commit suicide.
Zhang Caiyuan
The Korean performing arts industry seems to have a suicide epidemic. I just finished taking stock of 8 Korean artists who committed suicide, and now I have added a new record. Zhang Caiyuan, a transgender artist known as "Ha Li Show No. 2" in South Korea, committed suicide in her home on October 6 after she was subjected to malicious personal attacks for participating in a variety show on SBS television. On his personal homepage, some netizens left exaggerated words, which brought great mental pressure to Zhang Caiyuan. Coupled with the impact of Cui's real suicide, Zhang Caiyuan chose to go to the end of the road.
The Korean entertainment industry has spread bad news again. Cui Zhen, an actor known as the National Queen of Heaven, committed suicide in the early morning of October 2. Born in Seoul on December 24, 1968. In 1988, he first starred in the TV series "500 Years of the Joseon Dynasty" and became famous in one fell swoop, and his representative works include the movie "My Love, My Bride" and so on. After her friend Ahn Jae-hwan committed suicide, she was embroiled in a vicious rumor of "the 2.5 billion won usury that led to Ahn Jae-hwan's death". They have also been continuously harassed by phone calls from suspects suspected of initially spreading information about usury. In addition, Choi-jin was recently preparing for the filming of the second season of "The Last Scandal of My Life" and was filming an advertisement with actor Son Hyun-so, but interrupted filming due to physical discomfort. Because Cui Zhen has been under too much pressure recently, the situation has not been very good, coupled with the annoyance of the usury incident, he eventually committed suicide. I feel that Korean artists are actually very vulnerable. A little wind and waves can not withstand, can not move to commit suicide.
This is choi's suicide, on the afternoon of October 1, when he filmed a print media advertisement for vitamin products from a pharmaceutical company at a photo studio in Gangnam,1, Seoul. Cui Zhen, wearing a white top and beige skirt, shot with a bright smile. It is impossible to imagine that someone is going to choose suicide in a few hours.
Ahn Jae-hwan
At about 9:20 a.m. on Sept. 8, the body of Ahn Jae-hwan, a 36-year-old South Korean television host and actor, was found in a Ka Wah sedan parked in a residential alley in Hagye-ichi-dong, Akuhara District, Seoul. He had been dead for many days, and his body was decomposing. The police judged it to be a suicide. He only married the famous host Jeong Sun-hee 10 months ago, but now he has passed away. His last call 18 days ago was with his wife. The suicide note beside him also said that he loved her wife. He has not heard from him for such a long time, but Jung Sun-hee does not know where he has not called the police, and he is also very impressed by the warmth and coldness of Korean society. According to the latest news, Ahn Jae-hwan's career is not going well and he still owes a loan shark of 4 billion won, which may be the reason for his suicide.
Born in 1972, Ahn Jae-hwan entered the entertainment industry in 1996 after graduating from the Arts and Crafts Department of Seoul National University. He has starred in many TV series such as SBS "Tears of Diamonds" (2005), MBC "Secret Men and Women", KBS2 "New Daddy 29 Years Old" (translation, 2006), and left the audience with a sense of intimacy with his straightforward image. Ahn Jae-hwan has been an adjunct professor in the Department of Television Performance Video at Zhoucheng University since the beginning of last year, and has been married to the famous comedian host Jeong Sun-hee for three months
