Guo Jingming has always been an extremely controversial existence. Even for a long time, people thought of him: Guo Jingming is not a qualified and competent writer, but like a shrewd art dealer.
He is shallow and boring, worships money and is vulgar. There is never a protest against reality in his novels, only groaning dog blood.
Writing is more like a business for Guo Jingming most of the time.
His works have no feelings, nor do they convey experience and lessons. They are more like beautifully packaged goods.
, as a businessman, understands the needs of his readers: young, full of fantasy, like material life and perfect idols; lonely and boring, some small emotions of adolescence; eager to grow, understand the material and evil of this world; hope to live out of self, long for special Stand alone.
therefore selects suitable writers for readers, produces texts that meet their wishes, and continuously creates dreams for readers who are not yet mature in mind, so that they can be immersed in beautiful fantasy.
Later, he changed to become a director, and he took the superficiality and worship of money in the original work to the extreme.
The luxurious and magnificent scenes in "Little Times" and the famous brands that can be seen everywhere create a world of money for people. The
movie is even more uncountable and dazzling. The
movie is all about sensationalism, crying for crying, breaking up for breaking up, and laughing for laughing. Many people say that after watching it, they are extremely empty and there is no way to resonate in the heart.
However, all this will not prevent him from becoming an instant hit with the "Little Times" series, opening the precedent for ip movies and fan economy, and becoming a winner in life with many fans.
His movies are merchandise used to make money, and he has always disdain to convey any profound lessons and principles to people.
later, he himself became an eye-catching label. In daily life, he showed his desire for money and material to the extreme, so that many people were disgusted and even bored. After
became famous, he went shopping spree, displaying LV, Armani, Dior and other luxury brands on blogs and Weibo, and even did not hesitate in the "Minimalism" which mainly targeted middle school students.
He wrote in an article called “Self-exposure” in “The Least Talk” in his early years: There are “numerous Haagen-Dazs” in his refrigerator, cups worth from dozens to thousands of dollars, but He doesn't use these cups to drink water, and prefers to drink canned drinks directly. In another article describing Shanghai, he mentioned that a bottle of water he was drinking was worth 68 yuan, which is enough for a meal in other cities.
He bought a number of properties in Shanghai, one of which was used for office has reached 100 million yuan in value many years ago, and is equipped with two security guards, four cleaners, and an aunt who cleans his bedroom full-time .
Another place is the residence of Wang Jingwei's fourth wife. Thick carpets, medieval oil paintings on the walls, and exquisite porcelain are all images that appear repeatedly in Guo Jingming's works. He arranged for Lin Xiao to break Gong Ming's cup in his childhood. The unit price of that brand's cup was as high as 3,800 yuan.
Guo Jingming has continued to express his hatred of hypocrisy in an interview with Vista, "If you want to love money, you will show that you love money. If you want to be truly immortal, you don’t care about material things, that’s great. But you can’t look down on people’s material things on the one hand. , On the one hand, I am desperately pursuing money, especially caring, then I think you are very boring."
gradually, it seems that his words and deeds have also become commodities: he needs to tell his fans who like to dream, above the ordinary life, There is another faraway perfect life that can be imagined, which is very important for people who cannot live this life and can be used to soothe their psychology.
When the fans raised their heads and looked into the distance, Guo Jingming stood on the clouds in the distance, shining all over his body.
However, along with his complacency and the increasing publicity in his life, his reputation has become more and more decayed, and even negative news has repeatedly spread.
For example, plagiarism has always been controversial.
Guo Jingming and Zhuang Yu are both well-known youth writers in China. The latter is the author of "The Circle Inside and Outside the Circle". Like Guo Jingming's "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams", both are novels describing emotional entanglements between young men and women.
Later, Zhuang Yu used the book "How Much Do You Know About Flowers in Dreams" in the storyline and character characteristicsIn December 2003, the author Guo Jingming, the publishing unit Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, and the seller Beijing Book Building were sued for plagiarizing "Circle Inside Circle Outside" in terms of language style, etc.
Zhuang Yu sued that he had completed the novel "In the Circle and Outside the Circle" in November 2002. After
, she discovered that Guo Jingming's book "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams", published by Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House in November 2003, had plagiarized "Circle Inside and Outside" by changing the face, displacing characters, and reversing the order. A book has original ideas, the main clues of the story, most of the plot, the main characters, the language style of the work, etc.
In 2006, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court made a first-instance judgment a few days ago, concluding that Guo Jingming’s "Knowing How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" infringed Zhuang Yu’s copyright, and ordered the defendants Guo Jingming and Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House to immediately stop "Flowers in Dreams" The publication and distribution of the book "Knowing How Much" jointly compensated the plaintiff Zhuang Yu for economic losses of 200,000 yuan, and the defendant Beijing Book Building Co., Ltd. stopped selling the book "Knowing How Much Flowers Fall in Dreams".
Faced with this matter, Guo Jingming has always refused to apologize, which makes many people very dissatisfied with him, believing that he is a brazen plagiarism.
, for example, the violence of sexual assault.
In 2017, Guo Jingming's suspected sexual assault on multiple men detonated the Internet.
According to a contracted male writer, Guo has repeatedly sexually harassed himself and the male employees of the company, and called on men from all walks of life to stay away from Guo Jingming. The person who broke the news this time is Li Feng, the author under the contract of the world, who has published many works such as "Summon Kanas Monster", "Burning Boy" and "Holy Land".
Guo Jingming then sent out a Weibo clarification, saying that everything was fabricated by the other party. Although
did not stop afterwards, it had an extremely negative impact on Guo Jingming's reputation.
For example, he shed tears when "Grand Trail" hit the street.
"Grand Path", a Chinese fantasy masterpiece that has gathered 11 producers and more than 10 first-line stars, only got 382 million box office, and the Douban score was as low as 3.8.
Someone estimated that the film lost about 20%. At
, some film critics remarked sharply, “The title in the movie is that each (actor) is a human-shaped'soul beast'." At the last road show of
"Grand Trail", Guo Jingming was emotional. Crash: "Is it because my name is Guo Jingming, so everything is wrong?"
As the movie went on the street, Guo Jingming, who was very high-profile in the past, gradually fell silent. He rarely appeared in public and his reputation fell. freezing point.
Gradually, many people say that Guo Jingming’s era has passed and that he is no longer in his world. I believe that he will be forgotten soon.
However, recently, Guo Jingming has been resurrected full of blood, and with his powerful eloquence, he has reverted the public's perception of him. The cause of the
incident is that, recently, Guo Jingming appeared on a reality show called "Actors, please take their place". There are 50 actors participating in
, performing live in front of four directors Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, Zhao Wei and Guo Jingming, competing for the title of "Best Actor".
, three actors in Guo Jingming's group, Guo Junchen, Dong Li, and Ren Min, performed a scene from Guo Jingming’s adaptation of the novel of the same name, "Sad Against the River". The approximate plot of
is that two male protagonists had a fight for the female protagonist, and then one of the male protagonists asked the female protagonist to confess and acted in a scene of an attempted kiss with the girl. Some audience members in the audience of
saw this passage and applauded excitedly.
However, Mr. Li Chengru was very embarrassed on stage, and felt very eager to complain. After the performance of
, Li Chengru couldn't help being the first to criticize:
"Sit here and watch this, like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorny back."
"From an artistic point of view, I didn't hear the three of them say any lines, so I couldn't hear them clearly. This is an actor’s taboo. Excuse me, have you practiced lines for more than ten years? Have you practiced for one, two, or three years? "
" Not to mention the devotion, the work, the family and the country, the loyal and righteous person, We have to write too many things, is it that our young people are watching this, high school students are in love? The boy is holding the girl as soon as he approaches, oh~ he coaxes it? So what are we doing on this stage? "
" I don’t know if the directors on the stage can sit still, anyway, I feel very awkward.Selling books, right? This kind of book is a best-selling book, then I would like to ask, what kind of education have this generation of people received after they get up? "
Faced with the criticism, Guo Jingming immediately responded positively.
first took all the actors' bad acting skills to himself, saying that it was all his own responsibility.
Then, he bluntly said that "Sadness Goes Against the River" was not what Li Chengru thought. That way, it's just a love drama, but China's first work focusing on and discussing campus bullying.
"You can never like what you don't like, but please allow it to exist. You can continue to hate something you hate, but please allow others to like it. "
Guo Jingming's remarks drew applause from the audience. The audience thought it was really good. Why didn't Guo Jingming say something strange? Li Chengru, the old man, really can’t talk, only relying on the old to sell the old?
Many people have met a completely different past. Guo Jingming is outstandingly eloquent and logical. Many people at
have said that they have misunderstood him too much in the past.
has to say that in the eyes of some people, Guo Jingming, who is "inferior", once again turned against the wind, maybe this is a kind of Luck is more powerful.
faces a labeled Guo Jingming. Some people love him, some hate him, some praise him, and some scold him.
, but no matter what kind of voice it is, there is a problem: we need to respect each one. The existence of the individual.
Perhaps, Guo Jingming’s longevity must have his own value and strengths.
