"No regrets at all, nothing to regret about this."
Unlike other celebrities who were single-mindedly repentant after being exposed to drug abuse, Ning Caishen said such a seemingly unrepentant sentence in an interview after he was released from prison.
Unsurprisingly, after this statement, Ning Caishen once again ushered in an overwhelming attack from netizens.
Just like in 2014, when he was first exposed to a drug scandal.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, from "teenage genius" to "business genius"</h1>
Ning Caishen was a genius.
He was born in Shanghai in 1975 and was originally named Chen Wanning.
His father was a very powerful figure, talented when he was studying, and after graduation, he became one of the first futures practitioners with a keen sense of business, and was also named "futures old naughty boy" by the industry.
And good genes always seem to be in the same vein.
Perhaps influenced by his father, Ning Caishen also showed full of talent since he was a child.
At a young age, he was very smart and very good at thinking.
On every exam, his grades were among the best.
I feel that the step-by-step study is too boring and not challenging, and Ning Caishen often skips grades.
As a result, when he was 15 years old, he was admitted to the Department of Finance of East China University of Science and Technology, one of the 985 Universities.
Ning Caishen is also known as "a young genius." ”
But for this title, Ning Caishen did not approve.
He once said: "The real teenage genius is a person who goes to college at the age of seven or eight, and I don't count at all." ”
Although there is self-humility in this sentence, it can also be seen to some extent that Ning Caishen is very assertive.
Even if society wears more top hats for him, he will not easily get carried away.
The assertive God of Ning Cai is also very thoughtful in the matter of making money.
When I was in college, when my classmates would only ask their parents for money, Ning Caishen already had another set of ways to make money.
He used his free time to recycle the study notes and study materials of the graduates at the price of waste paper.
After recycling, these notes are sorted and sorted, and bound into a book, which becomes valuable learning materials.
He then sold these learning materials to lower grade students, and he could earn more than a dozen yuan a book.
Of course, these alone cannot satisfy Ning Caishen's desire to make money.
He also set his sights on the business of reselling CDs, clothing, campus agencies, etc., and gradually expanded his campus business.
It's kind of businessman's style.
After graduation, it was logical that Ning Caishen also started a futures business, earning more than 100,000 yuan in the first month.
At that time, it was still 1994, and Ning Caishen was only 19 years old.
The huge profits of the futures business fascinated Ning Caishen very much, and every morning when he woke up, he ran to the computer to watch the market.
At its worst, he slept only an hour or two a day.
However, although futures have high profits, they are accompanied by high risks.
Ning Caishen himself knew this.
He once said: "Doing futures is gambling, but it is not the same as gambling." ”
He knew that there was a risk, but he still made a desperate bet and put all his thoughts into the futures business.
This may also be a major feature of Ning Caishen's personality, which seems to be transparent and is actually very confident, and he feels that he can grasp this scale well and will not overturn the ship.
And his behavior of not knowing how to give up finally brought himself bad consequences.
In the famous "327 Incident", Ning Caishen lost more than 3 million yuan in just a few days.
Years of wealth accumulation, in the blink of an eye, has become empty.
Ning Caishen concluded: "I am too greedy, if I withdraw when I have money and do something else, it will definitely be a different situation." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, from "bankrupt" to "screenwriter"</h1>
Talented people are always enviable.
Because they can always find another way out when their lives are at a low point.
Ning Cai Shen is like this.
The road to futures was blocked, and instead he did what he had wanted to do since he was a child, opening a design company.
Zero everything and start over.
Soon, with its extraordinary talent, Ning Caishen's design company slowly got on the right track.
But some people, born to toss, are not willing to settle for the status quo.
Ning Caishen was such a person, and seeing that his life was gradually getting better, he moved other thoughts.
Once, in order to pursue the girl he liked, he personally wrote a magazine.
Although it was the first time to try, Ning Caishen felt that it was very smooth to write if it was written with divine help.
He suddenly discovered his hidden writing talent, thinking that he might be able to make a living by writing?
So he published an article on the Internet under the pseudonym of "Ning Caishen".
With humorous language and wonderful plots, Ning Caishen quickly gained a large number of loyal readers on the Internet.
Every day when I turn on the computer, Ning Caishen can see the computer screen and receive overwhelming praise from readers.
This inspired him and made him more and more comfortable writing. Even later, he said:
"I think writing is an instinct for me."
This shows that Ning Caishen is confident in writing.
So, in 1999, Ning Caishen returned to Shanghai. With his talent for writing, he became the director of operations of the "Under the Banyan Tree" website.
Later, together with Li Xunhuan and Xing Yusen, he was also known as the "troika" of online literature, which was quite influential.
With the gradual opening of popularity, coupled with the rise of online literature, Ning Caishen turned into a screenwriter again at the suggestion of his friend Yu Baimei.
Although it is all writing, it is much more difficult to write a screenplay than to write an online novel.
In order to create a good script, Ning Caishen often closed the creation, day and night upside down, coffee and cigarettes have become his daily necessities.
Finally, in 2001, he wrote his first work, "The Networm Diary".
As a result, when he excitedly showed it to the idol Wang Shuo, he was confronted by Wang Shuo with a basin of cold water.
"It's terrible." Wang Shuo said.
This made Ning Caishen very ashamed.
However, the inconsistency in his bones made him unwilling to give up easily.
He continued to work hard and wrote the two scripts of "Urban Men and Women" and "Health Express".
And it was at this time that he became acquainted with the director Shang Jing.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, from "ghost screenwriter" to "addict"</h1>
Shang Jing is a very good director.
He has won various awards many times, and in 2002, he became famous for "The Story of the Cooking Class".
The two dramas "Urban Men and Women" and "Health Express" let him see the talent of Ning Caishen.
He said: "Compared with the average person, he is really imaginative. ”
After in-depth contact, both people cultivated a very deep tacit understanding.
Once, after drinking, the two people talked very happily and decided to cooperate in a martial arts comedy and perform with advanced dramatic thinking.
This is the "Tale of Wulin" that later became popular all over the country.
However, at that time, this work was not optimistic about insiders, and the ten million capital at the time of startup could not find anyone to invest.
But Shang Jing and Ning Caishen were not willing to give up easily.
Under heavy pressure, the script was also carried forward.
But what everyone did not expect was that as soon as "The Tale of Wulin Waichuan" was broadcast, it became popular all over the country.
The subversive performance method, the hilarious plot, and the philosophy that often emerges coldly make this TV series that is not optimistic about the market firmly attract the national audience.
The ratings of "Wulin Wai Biao" directly broke 10, and the ratings at the finale exceeded that year's Spring Festival Gala, which was called "the peak of domestic sitcoms".
The actors of "The Tale of Wulin" became popular, and Ning Caishen suddenly changed from a small screenwriter with no name to a popular "ghost screenwriter" in the country.
Flowers and applause filled his otherwise peaceful life.
This year, he was only 31 years old.
After tasting the sweetness of the drama "Wulin Waichuan", Ning Caishen continued to work hard and created works such as "Laughing Jianghu" and "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau", although it was not as popular as the original "Wulin Waichuan", it was still a relatively high-quality work in the market and won the love of the audience.
The status of the god of Ning Cai in the circle was gradually enshrined.
Everyone is looking forward to this "ghost screenwriter" to be able to create the next peak.
However, Pinnacle did not wait, but directly waited for the news of Ning Caishen's drug use.
When Ning Caishen first stepped into the screenwriting industry, he especially liked to refresh his mind by smoking and drinking coffee.
As his fame grew, so did the pressure on his writing.
In order to inspire himself to write and create better scripts, he stopped smoking and instead took drugs.
Maybe Ning Caishen was not unaware of the harm of drug use, but just as he couldn't stop when he was doing futures, he always felt that he could control it.
But you don't know that some things, no matter how outstanding you are, are beyond your control.
For example, drug use, once it is stained, can not be turned back.
Ning Caishen's decision also completely ruined his screenwriting career.
In 2014, Ning Caishen was controlled by the police for drug use.
As soon as the news of Ning Caishen's drug use came out, it instantly detonated public opinion.
No one would have thought that the "ghost screenwriter" who could create such a high-quality work as "The Tale of Wulin" would also be one of the drug addicts.
Friend Yao Chen shouted directly on Weibo:
"Wait for you to come out and kick you hard."
At the same time, the "Do Not Disturb" that Ning Caishen participated in recording also urgently ended the cooperative relationship with him, and found someone to replace him.
The public image of the god of Ning Cai fell sharply.
There was so much praise, now there is so much criticism.
He is no longer a sought after "ghost screenwriter", but a drug addict who everyone insults and attacks.
The so-called heaven and hell, perhaps this is also the case.
But what is even more resentful is the sentence that Ning Caishen said:
"No regrets at all, nothing to regret about this." Life always has to have a variety of experiences, who have not yet made a mistake, as long as they do not make it again. ”
This sentence ignited the anger in people's hearts, and the insults against the god of Ning Cai became more and more fierce.
CCTV also directly criticized Ning Caishen by name.
At that time, the god of Ning Cai was at the lowest point of his life.
Perhaps to bid farewell to these online voices, Ning Caishen also sold his Weibo account with 8 million fans to friends and vegetable heads at a low price of 50 yuan.
Since then, he has also bid farewell to the identity of "Ning Cai Shen".
This year, he was 39 years old.
From the age of 31 with the "Tale of Wulin" to the national popularity, to the age of 39, this is only a short period of 8 years.
Today's Ning Caishen has long bid farewell to the identity of the screenwriter.
In 2017, he became an investor and CEO of HiLe Film and Television.
Just as he had been reborn through a makeover in the past, this time, Ning Caishen succeeded again.
His 3 million investment in Hille Film and Television soared all the way to 1.2 billion, a full 119 times, and the special effects for TV series such as "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Blood Chang'an" were also unanimously praised.
Ning Caishen became a successful man again.
The god of Ning Cai, who is like a line, seems to have always been the lucky son of fate.
But no matter how lucky life is, if there is no sober grasp, it will inevitably end up in all disasters.
Just like Ning Caishen went bankrupt in futures that year, he wrote a script and went to jail.
If you do not grasp the scale of action, even if you are talented and fateful, you will inevitably be empty.
And will today's Ning CaiShen repeat the same mistakes?
Hopefully not.
