In the 1985 Spring Festival Gala, Chen Chong will probably never forget that day.
Returning from studying abroad for four years was a happy thing, but because of a sentence, it became the target of public criticism.
Countless abuses came to his face, and the director of the Spring Festival Gala bluntly said that he wanted to end his life and regretted letting her go on stage.
A few years later, Chen Chong returned to China again despite the opposition of the Chinese people, and accidentally created a classicSince then, it has been out of control.
Going abroad is actually a path designed for her by Chen Chong's family early on.
Born in a medical family, his parents graduated from prestigious universities, and his grandfather studied in the United Kingdom and the United States, and was later hired as a professor at Harvard University.
She was supposed to save lives and help the wounded, she loved literature and art, played the piano and accordion, and has always been the backbone of literature and art in the class.
During the preparation of the film "Jinggang Mountain", Aunt Chen Chong recommended her niece to the past, but she didn't think about it, and she unintentionally planted willows and willows.
The guerrillas she played were vivid and showed extraordinary acting talent, and then she was successfully admitted to the actor training class of Shanghai Film Studio.
Combed with two braids, delicate and cute without losing the atmosphere, you can already see the appearance of the star.
At the age of 18, he ushered in a film called"Little Flower".'s movie, only to realize the dream of becoming famous overnight, Liu Xiaoqing and Tang Guoqiang of the same crew all rode the Times Express and became popular one by one.
In that era when idols were rare, Chen Chong was fortunate to become a "national little flower" and appeared on the family calendar all year round.
In the second year, she won the honor of the Hundred Flowers Award, and the scenery was unlimited for a while, and the future star journey was smooth.
But she didn't seem to be satisfied with this, and she couldn't let go of the idea of going abroad.
At the peak of her career, she gave up everything at home and resolutely went abroad.
After the news broke, many Chinese people were shocked.
In fact, the first time he saw the prosperity of a foreign country, Chen Chong was ready to move.
It was to follow Tian Hua, Zhang Jinling and other movie stars to Japan for a visit, and this trip left a deep impression on her, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Coupled with the love for foreign literature that has always been, it finally reached the point where "you have to go".
thought that with the blessing of the star halo, he would live more chic abroad, continue to develop his acting career, and rush into Hollywood.
However, the reality is diametrically opposite, and the Queen of Flowers will not escape the fate of cleaning the toilet after all.
In 1981, Chen Chong took off the burden of stardom and went abroad alone.
Actress? Star? In that strange land, no one admits it, everything started from scratch.
She does not deliberately promote her identity, and sees herself as an ordinary international student.
After the savings were spent, he was reluctant to reach out to his family to ask for money, so he began to work part-time, distributing leaflets, waiters, hourly workers, cleaning toilets, and becoming cheap labor.
He even worked as a nanny and took care of an elderly person with mental illness.
She is hard working and conscientious, trying to do her best, even if she cleans the toilet, she is the first.
Recalling this experience many years later, Chen Chong was extremely proud.
"The toilet I brush is cleaner than anyone else, and you can even wash your face and cook there. ”
However, there is a little sadness in the pride, and she is indeed not less hit.
The owner of the restaurant, a Chinese man, is well aware of Chen Chong's domestic background and often shows off that he has a Chinese actress in his store to show off his fame.
When she served the food, she was pulled over by the boss to communicate, and the other party ignored Chen Chong's face.
Every time this happens, her dignity is trampled on, and Chen Chong desperately wants to escape, but she has nowhere to run but to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
Countless times in the middle of the night silently wept, lonely and empty.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation of the director of the Spring Festival Gala, I hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether I should return to the stage.
That year happened to be the year of the natal life, and it was a rare encounter, and it gradually wavered.
Chen Chong fortunately found a fortune teller to choose a hexagram instead of himself.
"You should go back. ”
just listened to Mr.'s words and returned to China to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but who would have thought that it would usher in a situation of "spurned by 10,000 people".
In that era when the Internet was not yet fully popularized, TV was the choice of most people's movie-watching choices, and the Spring Festival Gala was highly anticipated, and it was an "annual ceremony", and the impact can be imagined.
Jiang Kun, Ma Ji, Liu Xiaoqing, etc. participated in it, and the big names gathered, and the focus was on live broadcast, real-time**!
During the hosting, Chen Chong, who was sitting in the VIP seat, found the host and said that he wanted to speak, and after getting permission, he took a photo in a red dress.
I don't know if it was too nervous, or for other reasons, she said the following in front of a national audience.
"You China", "I don't plan to come back", "Count a hexagram", the speech is bold and the words are flamboyant, which makes people's hearts tremble.
Sure enough, after the incident, the program team received a large number of complaint letters, and they reprimanded Chen Chong for "eating inside and out", and everyone was angry, and some didn't even watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The official ** made a report as soon as possible and discussed this behavior again.
The overwhelming condemnation made the director of the Spring Festival Gala suffer huge pressure, and once had the idea of begging for death, even in the past few decades, it is still difficult to forget.
Said in the interview:"The blow was too great, and this artistic failure could be the end of life. ”
Director Huang Yihe was suspended for half a year, and Chen Chong struggled to face the result and quickly returned abroad to avoid the limelight.
This time was different, she unexpectedly opened up another spring in her career.
After the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Chong smashed the iron rice bowl with his own hands, and became the target of the crusade from a highly sought-after young actress.
However, she was not discouraged and continued to explore abroad, seeking a way to act.
Finally, in the second year, he starred in his first Hollywood work.
But her role is difficult for Chinese people to speak, and there are a lot of sensitive shots in the film, and even Chinese faces are used to kneel down to foreigners.
When the news came back to China, it was another ** turmoil.
There is no clarification, no justification, and the silence will be maintained to the end, and the international ambition will continue to be great.
Immediately after,"The Last Emperor".Born out of nowhere, this Sino-foreign co-production film caused quite a stir after it was broadcast.
The "Wanrong" she plays is vivid and firmly grasps the spiritual core of the character, which is not exciting.
's superb acting skills won her a lot of praise, but it didn't last long.
With the public recognition of American citizenship, it has fallen into a word-of-mouth crisis.
For these, Chen Chong obviously doesn't care anymore, he is dedicated to developing his career, starring in many movies one after another, appearing on the Oscar-winning screen, and enjoying the honor.
Not long after settling down, there was another abandonment.
Chen Chong's marriage experience was very bumpy, and he failed several times, until he stood at the peak of his career, and there was no one around him who could share it.
In 1992, she met her second husband Peter, who was a surgeon, and the two fell in love.
However, after marriage, her stomach has not moved, and she has seen that she has passed the best period of female fertility.
So, Chen Chong returned to China to inquire about adoption and adopted a pair of twin daughters from Guangxi to make up for the regret of having no children.
A family of four is happy and often appears in front of the screen.
Walking on the red carpet and appearing at the airport, the two daughters are beautiful and generous, with their own star potential.
thought that they would be happy forever, but without admitting it, Chen Chong was pregnant "out of time".
The eldest daughter Xu Wenting and the second daughter Xu Wenshan were born one after another, and the previously adopted twins rarely appeared, and it was revealed that Chen Chong abandoned the child and "gifted" the child to a New York couple.
After the news came out, the popularity of actress Chen fell to the bottom like the Spring Festival Gala that year, and some netizens even gave him the nickname of "abandoning Chen".
Chen Chong seems to have her own ideas, it's not that she hasn't thought about treating everyone equally, it's just that the children are too busy to be busy, and find a good family for the children.
The remarks did not quell the public outrage, and the internet memories stayed with her, sparking discussion every time they appeared.
After all, it is about the future fate of the two children, and since the decision to adopt should be responsible to the end, it is undoubtedly shameful to abandon the adoption halfway.
No matter what the outside world says, Chen Chong has an attitude of "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water".
After a short period of silence, he returned to China again to regain his strength.
In 2007, Chen Chong starred in "The Story of Hometown" and "The Sun Also Rises", all of which were big productions and won a number of blockbuster awards one after another.
Perhaps it was this honor that gave her the idea of shifting the focus of her career.
After cooperating with his old partner Liu Xiaoqing in "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", she starred in the movie version of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", and even the movie "Lust and Caution" is indispensable.
In 2019, he returned with his daughter and starred in the movie "Manslaughter", and the bullied girl in the film was her daughter Xu Wenshan.
"Loyal Dog Hachiko" in 2021 and "Solid as a Rock" in 2023, Chen Chong has never lacked filming in the past few years, which shows that those scandals have not had any impact on her.
What is presented in front of the audience now is like an old drama bone with both virtue and art.
Behind the screen and the "good mother" in life, she shares her educational experience on social platforms from time to time.
When her daughter has made progress, she reminds herself to encourage her, and when she is rebellious, she is afraid of being too doting, so she pays attention to family education.
It's just that I don't know how the twins are living now.
Chen Chong's husband and two daughters.
The brilliance of Chen Chong's acting career is undeniable, and he has created countless classic roles in the industry for half a year, which is worthy of praise.
But the bewildering behavior is incomprehensible, and if you make a mistake, you should come forward to explain and bear the result, instead of playing the side ball and trying to cover everything with time.
