Recently, Zhou Haimei unfortunately passed away, which made countless fans and friends in the industry feel sad. Her passing also deeply saddened many actors who had worked with her. Wen Zhaolun is one of them. He and Zhou Haimei have co-starred in dramas such as "Intolerance" and "No Regrets in This Life". Their tacit understanding in the drama impressed the audience deeply.
After learning the sad news of Zhou Haimei's death, Wen Zhaolun posted a message expressing his sadness and accompanied it with a picture of Zhou Haimei laughing. Maybe he hoped that she could have such a bright smile in another world.
This actor must exist in the screen memories of many people born in the 80s and 90s. Because not only is he handsome, but he can also sing and act. who is he? He is Wen Zhaolun. In that era, "Wen Zhaolun" was a name that excited countless girls.
In 1964, Wen Zhaolun was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong. Like many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, due to financial constraints, Wen Zhaolun entered the society at a young age. When he was young, he was influenced by his uncle and began to fall in love with music. When he was in junior high school , he began to participate in various music competitions and won many championships.
In 1982, at the age of 18, he participated in the "First Rookie Singing Contest" organized by Hong Kong Radio Television, but he ended up in the top 15. The champion of that session was Anita Mui, but the unknown Zhang Weijian also failed to win. Although the results of the competition were not ideal, Wen Zhaolun's handsome appearance left a deep impression on the person in charge of Hong Kong TVB. A week later, Wen Zhaolun received an audition invitation from TVB, and he entered his acting career.
In 1983, Wen Zhaolun was transferred to be a radio DJ. Two years later, he signed a contract with a record company and became a singer. A year later, he released his first album "Snow and Wind", which attracted the attention of wireless TV stations due to his handsome appearance. As a result, Wen Zhaolun changed from a singer to an actor. In 1986, he became well-known for his role as the cousin in "City Story". This drama not only has the popular star Guo Jinan, but also the fledgling Stephen Chow.
Wen Zhaolun won the title of "Cousin Wen" with this drama. However, it was "Intolerance" two years later that really made Wen Zhaolun famous. This drama is supervised by Wei Jiahui and brings together movie stars such as Huang Rihua, Zhou Haimei, Carina Lau, Shao Meiqi, Lam Jieying and others. In the play, Wen Zhaolun will play the role of Ding Youkang, perfectly interpreting what it means to be a polite scum. He showed Ding Youkang's fierce eyes and evil humanity in the play, and his performance was superb.
Once this drama was aired, Wen Zhaolun quickly became popular in Southeast Asia with his role as Ding Youkang. It is said that whenever he walked down the street, someone would try to beat him up. Even at a family gathering, an elder suddenly said to him: "Sai Zai, how many people have you killed in this episode?" It can be seen that Ding Youkang, portrayed by Wen Zhaolun, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In 1990, Wen Zhaolun filmed "I'm Kind" under the arrangement of TVB. He successfully transformed from a villain actor into a kind and handsome boy Qi Haonan. The heroine of the play was Shao Meiqi, who was very popular at the time.
This cooperation fully demonstrates the importance TVB attaches to Wen Zhaolun. After the series was broadcast, Wen Zhaolun became the dream lover of thousands of girls. The media have praised him as "after Qi Haonan, there is no more loveable person in Hong Kong dramas". Subsequently, Wen Zhaolun shined in the fields of film, television and singing, and his career reached its peak. His influence was no less than that of the Four Heavenly Kings at that time. However, it is regrettable that Wen Zhaolun's career stamina was insufficient and he quickly stepped down from the altar. The main reason is related to his entangled emotional problems.
In 1984, Wen Zhaolun fell in love with Li Lirui, a DJ from the same company, but broke up a year later. Later, Wen Zhaolun wrote a song called "My Sara", which was questioned by Li Lirui as consuming her. Li Lirui said: "He is very good at making people happy and very unhappy." After the breakup, Li Lirui was rumored to be in a relationship with BYOND member Liu Zhiyuan, and then faded out of the entertainment industry.
In 1986, during the filming of "City Story", Wen Zhaolun and the heroine He Meiting fell in love because of the drama. However, this relationship only lasted two years. After that, He Meiting switched jobs from TVB to ATV. She filmed several movies but had no success, and eventually married a wealthy businessman.
In 1989, during the filming of "Intolerance", Wen Zhaolun met Li Meiling, a Malaysian Hong Kong Miss. Li Meiling was also a rich second generation. Wen Zhaolun launched a fierce pursuit of her, and the two got married in the same year. However, the marriage came to an end after four years. After the divorce, Wen Zhaolun accused Li Meiling of being "disobedient to women".
However, at that time, rumors about Wen Zhaolun's scandal with the unsuccessful Miss Hong Kong Miss Chen Meixin were spread. In 1993, after Wen Zhaolun divorced Li Meiling, he made his relationship with Chen Meixin public. Only then did the public learn that it was Wen Zhaolun, not Li Meiling, who was unruly about women. As early as 1990, Chen Meixin and Wen Zhaolun had collaborated, and since then the two have had complex emotional entanglements. At that time, Chen Meixin participated in the selection of Miss Hong Kong. Although she ultimately lost to Li Jiaxin, this is understandable.
At this time, Wen Zhaolun's career has reached its peak, almost on par with the Four Heavenly Kings. However, in 1996, after Wen Zhaolun and Chen Meixin broke up, he demanded a breakup fee of 140,000 Hong Kong dollars from Chen Meixin, hired three well-known lawyers, and applied for an injunction prohibiting Chen Meixin from studying abroad.
Wen Zhaolun responded to this. He said that this was not just a matter of breakup fees, but that the woman borrowed money from him and did not pay it back. He said he would not allow anyone to bully him and thought he was a good-looking man. He persisted and persisted to the end. Soon after, Chen Meixin quit the entertainment industry and became close friends with a woman. However, although Wen Zhaolun won the lawsuit, he lost his reputation. His image was severely damaged.
Wen Zhaolun is an energetic man. Even during the lawsuit, his love affair with his assistant Pan Yanni reignited sparks. Finally, the two got married in 2002. Pan Yanni is considered a good woman. During the financial crisis in 1998, the two partners lost 4.76 million in their joint venture. In the end, Pan Yanni bore the loss alone. Perhaps it was this that moved Wen Zhaolun. However, marriage cannot completely tie Wen Zhaolun down. Just like his previous relationship with Li Meiling, Wen Zhaolun has a new goal.
In the same year, while filming "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", Wen Zhaolun met Guo Xianni, who was 11 years younger than him. The two fell in love because of the drama, and Wen Zhaolun impressed Guo Xianni's heart with pineapple buns and milk tea. However, due to the lawsuit with Chen Meixin, Wen Zhaolun's image was greatly affected, and many people advised Guo Xianni not to follow him foolishly. However, Guo Xianni said frankly: "I am just an ordinary girl, why can't I fall in love normally?" In 2004, Wen Zhaolun developed in the Mainland and fell in love with Mainland artist Wen Jiarong for seven years.
They promised to get married in 2006, and Wen Zhaolun even went to Hong Kong to apply for a single certificate. However, the two eventually broke up. Wen Jiarong publicly stated that Wen Zhaolun owed her 500,000 yuan, and claimed that he had also violently abused her. The exposure of this relationship further deepened Wen Zhaolun's image as a "scumbag". However, Wen Zhaolun's agent said: "It was a gift and cannot be called a debt." In the end, this relationship ended in tragedy.
In 2013, Wen Zhaolun married Mainland actor Zhao Ting. Zhao Ting is 20 years younger than him. Before this relationship, Wen Zhaolun and Pan Yanni officially divorced and successfully resolved their relationship with Wen Jiarong. When it comes to Zhao Ting, Wen Zhaolun is not as high-profile as before. It was not until a year after their marriage that the two posted news on Weibo to commemorate their first wedding anniversary.
Two years after getting married, 51-year-old Wen Zhaolun got a daughter and became a father. Since marrying Zhao Ting, Wen Zhaolun has never had any emotional scandals. He treats his wife and family wholeheartedly.
As the saying goes, "One thing cures woodlice, and one thing glutinous rice cures woodlice." No matter how sentimental or unruly a man has been, there will always be a woman who can "tame him and tie his heart."
Nowadays, in many videos, we can often see the funny daily life of Wen Zhaolun and his daughter, which has become the highlight of his new life. Last year, he took his daughter Zhao Ting back to Hong Kong to buy real estate, which shows that Wen Zhaolun's life is still quite good. In addition to making money through acupuncture and taking care of his daughter and wife, Wen Zhaolun is also actively involved in public welfare undertakings.
