Zhou Libo, a long-lost name.
A previous remark he made online caused a stir.
Years have passed, but everyone still has memories.
When he reappeared, he also aroused spurning and opposition from the people.
Six years later, he is no longer a popular stand-up comedian, but a scorned and bad-name artist.
His image in ** is no longer the heroic demeanor of the original.
What happened to him?
Zhou Libo was born in a well-off family, and his birthplace was Shanghai.
He never had to worry about eating and drinking, because his family was well-off, which made him the envy of the little boy.
Despite his young age, he has a eloquent mouth and a keen sense of observation, which seems to be able to discern people's hearts easily.
Zhou Libo's academic performance is poor, and he is wholeheartedly pursuing success in the entertainment industry.
His parents doted on him, so they naturally supported him extraordinarily, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of financial and material resources to make an exception for him to participate in the audition of the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe.
The interview time has passed, but Zhou Libo successfully cut the line, which is enough to show how hard his parents have worked for this.
The chief examiner he met during the interview was Yan Shunkai, a well-known comedian in my country.
Of course, the teacher Yan Shunkai raised a question: If you have a big color TV in your hand, what will you choose?
Zhou Libo replied without hesitation: What do you think? Of course, it's with your eyes, and the contrast between black and white is clearly visible.
Why is it that even though it's a color TV, it's black and white?
The examiners couldn't help but start questioning the questions.
Zhou Libo calmly replied that the TV series is a black and white movie.
When he was only 14 years old, he was unanimously praised by the examiners for his natural sense of comedy.
Despite the fact that the acceptance rate of the exam was less than 10%, Zhou Libo still successfully passed the interview.
His sensitive thinking, fluent eloquence and humorous personality attracted the opera master Zhou Bochun, and he was soon highly appreciated.
Zhou Baichun has a good eye for gold, and he accepted Zhou Libo as his personal heirloom, eager to pass on all his talents to this young man full of aura.
Although he joined the troupe, because of his stubborn nature, he still did not get rid of his previous bad habits.
He frequently joked about his classmates, and even often participated in fights, which caused everyone to be bullied by him, and whenever they saw him, people hated and feared him.
In order to stop being bullied, many classmates jointly wrote a letter to denounce Zhou Libo, accusing him of various wrongs, hoping to drive this black sheep out of school.
Under the guarantee of two old artists, Zhou Baichun and Yao Mushuang, he has successfully resolved the crisis many times.
The two teachers were very fond of Zhou Libo, not only trying to keep her in the troupe, but also taking him with them whenever there was an opportunity to go out to perform. This allows Zhou Libo to accumulate more experience in stage acting than others.
After Zhou Libo had almost trained him, Mr. Zhou Bochun introduced him to many celebrities in the industry and gave Zhou Libo the opportunity to perform on stage alone.
Zhou Libo's performance unsurprisingly won praise from the audience.
Many seniors in the cross talk industry have even noticed him, praising him as a rising star in this circle.
In the process of being carefully cultivated by his teacher, Zhou Libo's career ushered in a bright future.
Zhou Libo officially entered the showbiz in 2006.
He created a unique Shanghai-style art of mouth purging, and launched classic works such as "Laughing in Shanghai" and "Laughing in Thirty Years", which attracted more and more fans, and the theater attendance rate increased several times.
Zhou Libo has become famous for the Shanghai style Qingkou he founded, which is not only popular in Shanghai, but also in the country and even around the world.
He is regarded by everyone as the originator of burlesque art.
As his fame grew, his heart gradually swelled, and he finally created a book called "Zhou Libo's ** is Zhou Libo".
Just look at the title of this book to understand what the author wants to say, he has achieved what he is today entirely through self-study, relying on his own talent and hard work, and has nothing to do with others.
Although Teacher Yan Shunkai kept reminding him to learn to be grateful and not to forget his roots, he had already left behind the help of his predecessors and didn't care.
Many of Zhou Libo's supporters are retired aunts, and he met Zhang Jie because Zhang Jie often accompanied her mother to ** Zhou Libo's performances.
When the two first met, Zhang Jie was attracted by Zhou Libo's talent, even though he was 6 years older than her.
Zhou Libo also had a soft spot for Zhang Jie's mature temperament, so they soon began a relationship.
After the two were dating for more than a year, they decided to plan to get married.
However, although Zhang Jie's parents were not optimistic about Zhou Libo, Zhang Jie's father was even more resolute against him and did not even allow him to step into the house.
Zhang's father was concerned about the future of Zhou Libo's burlesque performances, because the art form was seen by many as a petty fight that would make it difficult to reach the realm of elegance.
After Zhou Libo learned about Zhang's father's attitude, he came to the door again to seek justice.
Despite this, Zhang Jie's father still firmly maintained his attitude, and as a result, the two had a quarrel, and Zhou Libo even moved his fists and kicks against Zhang Jie's father out of anger.
The young and vigorous Zhou Libo was in his twenties, and he directly blinded one of Zhang Jie's father's eyes.
Therefore, he was imprisoned and spent a full 205 days there.
In the face of Zhou Libo's violence, Zhang Jie chose to forgive, and even willingly waited for him to be released from prison, which is really incomprehensible.
The two of them finally became husband and wife, and Zhang Jie's father looked at this stubborn daughter and decided not to say more, simply choosing to turn a blind eye and let his daughter play freely.
Zhou Libo lost his job because of his criminal record.
He was originally high-spirited, but suddenly lost his financial **, and naturally felt frustrated and angry in his heart.
As the saying goes, poor couples mourn everything. As the two continue to quarrel, their marriage also comes to an end.
Zhang Jie traveled to Japan alone, where she soon found a new love.
She soon remarried and welcomed a child with her Japanese husband.
After his divorce, Zhou Libo turned his attention to the business world, because the market economy was booming at that time, and as a smart person, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
Zhou Libo really quickly opened up the situation in the business world, and with his wisdom and talent, his career was thriving and he made a lot of money.
He is involved in a variety of activities, including finance, building materials, entertainment and other fields.
In the local renovation industry, his company is definitely a leader.
However, Zhou Libo has already reaped a lot of rewards, but this has only fueled his ambitions, making it swell day by day, like a snake swallowing an elephant.
As soon as he ventured into the world of loan sharking, his business soon ran into trouble.
A friend took out a loan from a bank, and he vouched for it. However, after getting the loan, the friend left, leaving him alone to face his troubles and helplessness.
This time he fell badly, not only losing all his possessions, but also finding himself saddled with a huge amount of foreign debt.
When Zhou Libo fell into a low point in his life, he suddenly recalled Zhang Jie, she was like his last hope, so he had to hold on tightly.
Zhou Libo soon flew to Japan and put on a wonderful performance in front of Zhang Jie.
He was full of pain and remorse, and tearfully told his feelings after leaving Zhang Jie, and his words were full of deep love for Zhang Jie.
Zhou Libo's cry made Zhang Jie more determined to have feelings for him, and she immediately made the decision to divorce her Japanese husband.
The two immediately remarried, and thanks to Zhang Jie's help, Zhou Libo successfully obtained permanent residency in Japan.
However, due to his lack of familiarity with the local area, he was unable to display his talents at all, and could only rely on Zhang Jie to work two jobs to earn living expenses.
Zhang Jie resolutely gave up everything in Japan and followed the debt-ridden Zhou Libo back to China.
Of course, she couldn't bear to see this man worrying about debts every day, so she voluntarily took on the responsibility of repaying the debts and gradually helped Zhou Libo pay off the debts.
During that period, Zhou Libo met Guan Dongtian, who became the most important noble person in his life.
He has always been highly appreciated by Guan Dongtian, especially for his eloquence. Guan Dongtian constantly encouraged him to return to the stage.
In order to revive Zhou Libo's reputation, Guan Dongtian did not hesitate to exhaust all his savings, and even gambled on his future in order to let Zhou Libo appear on the stage again.
In 2006, under the leadership of Guan Dongtian, Zhou Libo became the founder of Shanghai Qingkou.
Zhou Libo is talented, and his partner is full of tacit understanding, and their career has ushered in spring again.
The film "Thirteen Years of Laughter" starring him was a huge success at the time.
At that time, he was regarded by almost all Shanghainese as a well-deserved "language giant".
Zhou Libo initially had a deep sense of gratitude to Guan Dongtian, and repeatedly said that he could not exist without Guan Dongtian today, and promised that the relationship between the two would always be the same.
Guan Dongtian has always been worried that Zhou Libo's imprisonment will have a bad impact on his reputation.
Therefore, they reached a consensus that even if Zhou Libo becomes popular in the future, he will not be able to be on TV.
Although Zhou Libo agreed at the time, with the development of his career, he quickly put his promise behind him and frequently appeared on major variety shows.
In just a few years, he successfully participated in many popular programs such as "One Week Libo Show", "China Dream Show", "China's Got Talent", and quickly became a celebrity in the entertainment industry.
In order to become famous, he resolutely chose to break off relations with Guan Dongtian.
Although he has always admitted that Guan Dongtian has helped him, he also said: Can a bowl of rice ten years ago make me enjoy abalone and shark fin every day?
At the peak of his career, even CCTV extended an olive branch, hoping that he could become a member of the speech stage.
Zhou Libo didn't take CCTV's invitation seriously at all, and said unashamedly: It is absolutely impossible for me to perform on stage with a group of migrant workers.
In the 2015 issue of "China Dream Show", a group of contestants wearing Hanfu took the stage.
Zhou Libo faced this group of young people with disdain, and they wanted to inherit traditional Chinese culture, which surprised him.
At first, he didn't realize that it was Hanfu, thinking that they were wearing Korean clothes.
After he learned that it was Hanfu, he still arrogantly asked them, "Which bathing center are you from?" Do you dare to go out after 9:30 p.m.? ”
The audience immediately began a lively discussion about this uneducated statement.
Even Fang Wenshan couldn't stand it, and ruthlessly published an article to condemn Zhou Libo.
Despite the conclusive evidence, he still defended himself in a false manner, claiming that everyone didn't understand what he meant at all, that he had no intention of criticizing Hanfu, and that if the audience didn't like it, they could choose not to watch it.
When Zhou Libo was in the limelight, there was such a sentence in the circle: "Guo Degang is in the north, Zhou Libo is in the south."
Many people hope to facilitate a joint cooperation between him and Guo Degang, but Zhou Libo is dismissive of this.
Personally, I politely declined because I didn't think it was appropriate. How can a garlic eater and a coffee drinker be together?
His words clearly express who eats garlic and who drinks coffee, there is no doubt.
Of course, Guo Degang is not easy to mess with, he directly integrated Zhou Libo's sarcasm into his cross talk "You Want to Be Elegant".
Garlic when I taste coffee, perfume sprayed by many elegant people, I can smell the smell of scum, elegance is not pretended, grandson is pretending.
Zhou Libo is dismissive of Guo Degang, and he also has the same opinion about many other artists.
There are not a few people who are sarcastic and sarcastic, they are the objects of his ridicule in those years.
He imitated Xiao Shenyang's expression and tone in a skirt, revealing a mocking demeanor, which made people feel disdainful.
I will definitely ask why a man in a skirt is on stage.
Xu Zheng's sarcasm is merciless, pretending to be like a pig and embarrassing to pretend to be a person.
He even bluntly said that Venus was a woman in front of **, and he didn't show respect for Venus at all. Venus became the object of his complaints.
His swear words are just the tip of the iceberg, even if the people have publicly criticized him and asked him to stop talking excessively, as a public figure, he must pay more attention to his words and deeds.
At that time, Zhang Jie also fought back against Zhou Libo, and she used a long essay to expose an unknown experience in his life.
Zhang Jie accused Zhou Libo of committing domestic violence on multiple occasions, having an affair in a marital relationship, and being involved in drug problems.
Zhou Libo did not disclose these scandalous things before, because in order to avoid the impact on his career development, he actually used his son to blackmail.
Zhou Libo and Zhang Jie officially divorced in 2010.
In the same year, he flamboyantly married the wealthy Hu Jie. At the wedding at that time, there was no shortage of well-known stars in the circle to participate.
Zhou Libo moved to the United States to settle after getting married, and his appearances in China have become less and less, and he has almost completely disappeared.
It's been a long time since he's been heard from everyone.
It wasn't until 2017 that Zhou Libo's report on his illegal possession of guns and cocaine suddenly attracted everyone's attention to him.
This incident had a far-reaching impact on Zhou Libo, and with the rapid spread of news on the Internet, Zhou Libo's reputation and image that he had built up with great difficulty were destroyed in an instant.
Soon, Zhou Libo and Tang Shuang, who was also involved in drugs at the time, were released on bail.
Zhou Libo was labeled for allegedly violating the law, and it is not easy to return to China for redevelopment.
originally thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect Tang Shuang to publicly say that what he said in the United States was false.
Mr. Zhou was quick to respond, emphasizing that he had not taken drugs at all, saying that the drugs did not belong to him.
Obviously, he aimed the finger at Tang Shuang, and the two immediately started a battle on the Internet.
In order to protect their personal reputation, their quarrels became more intense and even led to lawsuits in court.
In 2019, in order to prove his innocence, Zhou Libo specially applied for the identification of his drug-related items.
Tang Shuang's results surprised Zhou Libo, because it was found that his hair contained prohibited ingredients.
In other words, there is no doubt that Zhou Libo is addicted to drugs.
Some people later speculated that Zhou Libo had been rehabilitating from drugs for a period of time, and he thought that the forensic appraisal agency could not detect his drug use, so he applied for drug aversion with confidence.
Zhou Libo finally paid the price for his illegal behavior, which once again proves the truth that "people don't know unless they do it".
At the 2020 International Anti-Drug Day, the Communist Youth League announced the ** of some artists who use drugs with the theme of "cherish life and stay away from drugs", among which Zhou Libo unbelievably appeared.
Although he has become a tainted artist who is spurned by everyone, Zhou Libo still has a fluke mentality and keeps trying to make a comeback.
He registered a personal account in March 2023 and began to make remarks on major platforms, apparently a topic that deliberately stirred up the emotions of netizens.
He knows very well that this is the only way to quickly attract popularity and make his comeback smooth.
Although everyone thinks that Zhou Libo's remarks are not wrong, netizens do not accept him, and still insist on boycotting him, not giving him a chance to change his ways.
His account was quickly banned, which was very gratifying.
He updated his Weibo news in mid-May, attaching a video of walking on crutches, and said that he was so sick that it became very difficult to even walk.
Although his back looked a little bleak and lonely, no matter how hard he tried at the moment, he could no longer win anyone's sympathy.
The glory days he had in the past are gone and can never be recreated.
There is no doubt that Zhou Libo is talented.
The fact that he has also contributed to the charity and public welfare of our country cannot be ignored.
His lawlessness and megalomania eventually led his life astray and he never got back on track.
If he was given a new chance, would he not change, after all, his current life is obviously not what he expected.
