In recent years, with the rise of China's film and television industry, many stars have not been satisfied with developing at home, they have gone abroad in pursuit of fame and fortune, and even made inappropriate remarks to discredit the motherland.
These artists thought they would be able to earn respect abroad, but the reality was a shocking blow to them.
These stars used to be beautiful, but eventually fell into the trough, what kind of ups and downs did their lives go through?
Born in Shanghai in 1961, Chen Chong is a Chinese-American actress who is well-known in the entertainment industry. Whether it is a director, producer or screenwriter, Chen Chong has outstanding achievements.
Chen Chong became a popular flower for starring in the drama "Youth" that year, and began to win the love of the audience since he was in college.
Chen Chong is different from many actors, she not only has outstanding appearance, but also superb acting skills.
Chen Chong did not come from an acting family, but she had an extraordinary talent for acting, and she quickly won unanimous praise from the director and the audience.
The great director Zhang Yimou was particularly fond of her in 1987 and let her play the role of Jiu'er in the movie "Red Sorghum".
Chen Chong has become a well-known movie star at home and abroad in one fell swoop because of this film, and has won many honors and awards, and the audience has high expectations for her.
Director Zhang Yimou attaches great importance to her and provides her with many opportunities, all thanks to her participation in this TV series.
She has the ability to shape and can play a variety of film and television dramas or movie roles with different themes and styles, and her future development will undoubtedly be fast.
Next, Chen Chong made a shocking decision.
While her career was thriving, she decided to study abroad, when she was eager to pursue further studies in filmmaking in order to reach the next level.
She and her mother were fortunate enough to be sent to the United States to study biomedical sciences by chance.
She found that once she arrived in the United States, life did not go as smoothly as she expected. Language and cultural barriers put her under pressure.
In order to save money, she has worked in a variety of jobs, whether it is working in a restaurant or as a dishwasher.
She pursued a master's degree in filmmaking at New York University and was finally rewarded with the rewards she deserved, all as a result of her hard work.
Later, she used her professional talent to direct many films with full artistic value and social significance, such as "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" and "Freedom Gate".
Not only did she not give up her career as an actress, but her works emerged one after another, which made her widely recognized both at home and abroad.
Chen Chong got the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in 1985, and she knew that this was a rare opportunity, so after returning to China, she began to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala.
During this Spring Festival Gala, it was precisely because of one sentence that Chen Chong was pushed to the forefront.
In the Spring Festival Gala program, Chen Chong was arranged to sing "I Love You China" with several stars, this song is full of strong patriotic feelings.
However, as the performance drew to a close, Chen Chong needed to give a speech of thanks. She said "you Chinese", and the result immediately caused public outrage.
As the incident continued to ferment, netizens began to criticize Chen Chong, questioning whether he forgot that he was Chinese after living abroad for several years.
Chen Chong's behavior provoked public outrage at home, and then the TV station had to respond ** and apologize to the Chinese people.
Many years later, when asked by **, Chen Chong said that it was too late to explain, and it was only when she was young and vigorous that such consequences were caused.
The "traitor" in the audience's minds has become Chen Chong, although she has participated in many works one after another, she is still regarded as an actress who admires foreign and flattering foreigners.
However, among the domestic stars, in addition to Chen Chong, there is another one who has done something unforgivable.
Zheng Xulan's name may not be well-known to most people, but her songs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are well known.
Zheng Xulan became popular in the 80s of the 20th century because of her unique voice and became a goddess in the hearts of many audiences.
Zheng Xulan became one of the highly praised female singers at that time with songs such as "The Sea, Hometown", "Mom Left Me a Song", and "I Believe".
Zheng Xulan didn't invest much in the song industry at first, until a chance chance made her officially embark on the path of a singer.
In 1997, Zheng Xulan was an ordinary factory worker. When she came across a song and dance troupe looking for a singer, she actively participated in the audition and managed to win the first prize with her unique voice.
Her brilliant singing career began.
In 1980, Wang Liping became the person who changed Zheng Xulan's life.
Wang Liping is a well-known singer, composer and producer, and he has also written classics for many singers.
Zheng Xulan's singing voice deeply attracted Wang Liping, and since then, he has begun to attach great importance to her and hopes to train her to become a professional singer.
Wang Liping composed many songs such as "Sun Island", "Hometown of the Sea", "Shepherd Song", etc., all of which were written for Zheng Xulan.
Wang Liping put a lot of effort into creating these songs, but fortunately, Zheng Xulan lived up to his expectations and attracted the favor of countless audiences with her beautiful singing voice.
Zheng Xulan's masterpiece "Sun Island", the song was widely spread as expected.
Zheng Xulan won many honors such as the Golden Rooster Award for Best Female Singer and the Golden Record Award for this song.
Zheng Xulan continued to create more wonderful works, her career was thriving, and she even got the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
Although her career has reached her peak, Zheng Xulan resolutely gave up everything and made a shocking decision.
Zheng Xulan chose to quit the song and dance troupe in 1989 because she longed to go to the United States for development, and she admitted that she had always had a longing for the United States.
After Zheng Xulan went to the United States, he met Edward, an entrepreneur from Taiwan, and Edward was also impressed by Zheng Xulan's pleasant voice at first.
The two get along day after day, and the relationship gradually becomes closer, and eventually they fall in love and enter the palace of marriage. After marriage, Zheng Xulan also gave birth to two daughters for him.
However, when she actually gets married and lives in the United States, she finds that the reality is completely different from what she imagined.
She was always unable to adapt to the living environment and cultural differences in the United States, and she felt very uncomfortable interacting with foreigners.
In a strange city, she has not yet found her own circle, which makes her never really feel a sense of belonging.
In addition to this, she and Edward's lives also have problems, and they quarrel every day over small things.
Zheng Xulan deeply felt the gap between reality and fantasy, and she made up her mind to return to China to find herself again and continue to shine in her singing career.
Zheng Xulan returned to China in 1997 and joined the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. He originally thought that he would be able to return to the top soon with the reputation he had accumulated before.
However, reality once again caught her off guard.
When Zheng Xulan returned to China again, she had already been eliminated, and the audience's impression of her changed to that of a woman who admired vanity and admired foreign charmers.
No matter how good her strength is, she can no longer win the recognition of the audience.
She also tried to find true love during this period, and luckily she found someone who loved her, but the good times did not last long, due to illness, the man died, and Zheng Xulan fell into loneliness again.
She has now not only lost her previous brilliant career, but also lost the recognition of her lover and audience.
The once high-profile singer is now reduced to a situation where no one cares, which can be said to be self-defeating. I don't know if Zheng Xulan regrets the decision she made in the first place.
The reason why these stars can succeed is not only their own efforts, but also the love of fans and audiences.
They forgot their original intention for a moment, and they were really disappointed by their enthusiastic support for the audience.
