After the incident came to light, the person involved immediately issued a letter denying it. His wife Chen Zihan also came forward to support her, and even mentioned her controversial acting career.
Indeed, 49-year-old Chen Zihan was once as famous as Jiang Qinqin and Jin Qiaoqiao, and was also known as the "Three Golden Flowers of Chinese Opera". Although
is not as popular as her two classmates, she was awarded the title of "Costume Goddess" due to her stunning costume appearance, and was once expected to become a top-tier celebrity.
But when her career was on the rise, she suddenly lost her innocent image due to a love affair, and her future was even ruined.
However, Chen Zihan chose to transform later and quickly married actor Dai Xiangyu, who was 9 years younger than himself.
Neither of them is particularly high-profile, but their careers are progressing in an orderly manner, and everything seems to be going well.
unexpectedly encountered this "catastrophe". Can they survive it smoothly?
Can Chen Zihan still make a comeback like before?
1. "Three Golden Flowers" peak debut
In 1975, Chen Zihan was born in an ordinary family in Chongqing. Her original name was Chen Shasha. Her parents never slackened on their daughter's training and sent her to learn dance, painting, calligraphy, etc. since she was a child.
She is also very ambitious. She has been studying in key schools in her hometown during her studies. During the college entrance examination, she was admitted to the Foreign Language Department of Chongqing University with excellent results.
If nothing happens, she will become a diplomat in the future.
But Chen Zihan was very opinionated, and suddenly changed his mind during his freshman year. The reason was that he had a new dream: to be an actor.
Although her parents, relatives and friends did not support her, they even thought she was "crazy".
Chen Zihan also decisively dropped out of school, and in the same year was admitted to the undergraduate class of the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy with good grades of first in cultural courses and second in professional courses.
There are many outstanding girls among the girls in the class, such as Jiang Qinqin, who has already made her debut with works such as "Xi Shi", and Jin Qiaoqiao, who has been a music video heroine in her early years.
Because the names of the three girls are all overlapping words, and they are all very outstanding, they are called the "Three Golden Flowers of Chinese Opera" by other students.
Although the child star status of Jiang Qinqin and Jin Qiaoqiao is not comparable, Chen Zihan's starting point is definitely not low.
In her sophomore year, she was discovered by the director and starred in the first TV series "Eastern Zhou Dynasty: Spring and Autumn Period" and officially entered the entertainment industry.
Chen Zihan's costume appearance is very stunning. After that, most of the roles she received were of the same type, such as Chun Yan in "The Prodigal Son", Lan Fenghuang in "The Swordsman", etc.
But it was the 2001 historical drama "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" that really brought her into the audience's sight.
In the drama, she played the sincere Princess Pingyang. This role itself is a good character design - although
is a girl, she has the heart of a man, is upright, kind, brave and decisive, and is very popular.
, especially Chen Zihan's performance is also very smart and relaxed, and the makeup is exquisite. It is still remembered by the audience and has become the "White Moonlight" in the hearts of many people.
But in fact, during this period, classmate Jiang Qinqin had already become a well-known "popular flower" with works such as "Kangxi Private Interview in Private" and "There are Tears in the Sky".
Jin Qiaoqiao has also appeared in film and television dramas such as "A Story on a Rainy Day" and "Guilty". Her gorgeous appearance once made her a "professional mistress" and her popularity is not low.
On the contrary, it was Chen Zihan. From then on, he was half a beat slower.
But fortunately, her superior appearance and acting skills allowed her to catch up quickly. Later, she took on the challenge of playing the fiery Yin Li in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", which made her presence felt.
Especially in this drama, the character she played was disfigured and had to wear slightly scary makeup in the second half.
But Chen Zihan used her beauty to abruptly turn the situation around. The role of "Yin Li" can be said to be unprecedented, and no actress has played it better than her so far.
In fact, what is less known is that after that, she did not become as popular as she imagined. She even went to Hong Kong and Taiwan for resources to develop, but she encountered many unequal experiences because of people's indifference.
It is said that during an audition, Chen Zihan had to memorize 4 pages of lines in a short period of time, and it took him 12 attempts to pass.
But she didn’t get many opportunities in Hong Kong, so she turned back to the mainland to seek opportunities.
In Hengdian, Chen Zihan put on his costume and waited for the staff to call him to shoot, but he didn't wait until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. It wasn't until he saw the crew's car preparing to leave that he was told:
"The number one male in the crew" I have to play basketball tomorrow afternoon, so this scene has to be cancelled. It’s over now, I forgot to inform you.”
2. A sudden storm occurred at the peak of her career.
Fortunately, she has persisted and gradually gained popularity. This opened up the situation, and the drama has continued since then.
But Chen Zihan had plans and pursuits for his acting career, so when faced with an opportunity that suited him, he took action decisively.
In 2005, after learning that "The Legend of White Snake" was being remade, she immediately wrote a three-page "self-recommendation letter" to the producer and boldly expressed:
"There are only two people in the world who can play the role of Green Snake. One is Fan Bingbing." , the second is me!"
Perhaps it was this confidence that impressed the producer and director, and finally Chen Zihan was able to join the crew and play the role of Xiao Qing.
Sure enough, after the work was broadcast, her performance won the love of the audience.
Even with the "Xiaoqing" Zhuyu played by Meiqi Chen and Maggie Cheung in front of her, Chen Zihan still withstood the pressure and performed a different kind of style.
In the hit "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the same year, his role as Guo Fu is also very present, and his smart and jumping performance is unforgettable.
However, few people know that when filming a certain horse riding scene, she refused to use a body double in order to ensure realistic effects, and 60 explosive points behind the horse team could explode at any time.
After the filming started, Chen Zihan was the first to rush out. Unexpectedly, the horses of other actors were frightened and rushed into the crowd, causing an accident.
Sitting on horseback, she broke out in a cold sweat, but was praised by the director: "Dedication!"
But no one expected that in the same year when her career was at its peak, Chen Zihan would be involved in the "pornographic scandal".
The cause of the incident was that her mobile phone was lost and was picked up by an amateur. The other person found the photos of her intimate chat with her boyfriend Wang Yu, so he spread the photos with the idea of making a lot of money.
At that time, netizens also publicly sold it at the price of "100 pieces", which was incredible to the outside world.
Based on the time when the photo was taken, some people raised questions, suspecting that Chen Zihan was "knowing three things" when the man already had a public girlfriend.
It is reported that she and Wang Yu met at a private party around 2000. The man had just returned from studying abroad, opened an art company, and had a strong background.
But like many rich men, Wang Yu also likes to date actresses. It was previously rumored that he had a relationship with Hong Kong actress Zhang Min and the popular A-list flower "Xiao Yanzi" at that time.
But Chen Zihan never mentioned the relationship between the two and was very low-key.
It was only the loss of the mobile phone that made this relationship public. At that time, his agent came forward to explain:
"After Chen Zihan and Wang Yu dated in 2000, they broke up due to some small misunderstandings. Wang Yu could not bear the loneliness and fell in love with another woman. After Wang Zhao broke up, Chen Zihan and Wang Yu got together again, and the private photos were used by the two of them to connect emotionally..."
But this incident still caused the woman's pure image to plummet, and her acting career was also greatly affected.
Chen Zihan did not expect that not long after this incident, she would get into trouble again due to her cooperation with a Hong Kong magazine.
It is reported that when he was working hard in Hong Kong in his early years, Chen Zihan was invited by a female photographer to take a set of large-scale photos for publicity activities.
But what I didn’t expect was that after she had the “pornographic photo incident”, this group of photos was taken advantage of and published, causing her reputation to become even worse.
3. She was in trouble again when she was nearly fifty.
After that, she began to try to transform, and starred in the spy drama "The Extraordinary Policewoman", the suspense drama "Blue Files", and the idol drama "I Want to Rely on You", etc. Works on different themes.
But the splashes are not as big as the costume drama he acted in.
So in 2009, she produced the historical drama "Myth", in which she challenged the mother of a generation, Lu Pheasant, and regained the audience's love. She also won the CCTV8 TV Drama Sister Award with Jinsha.
At this stage, because of her high production, Chen Zihan was praised by the media as "the first sister of Huayi TV series", but in fact, the evaluation of her is still very harsh: "the second child of a thousand years".
In fact, throughout the more than 30 years since Chen Zihan’s debut, he has never actively promoted himself due to his love life, and he is considered one of the clear stars in the industry.
But in fact, she has always longed for a precious relationship, especially after the age of 30.
In 2011, Chen Zihan secretly began to fall in love with a financial elite amateur. She has always taken this relationship seriously and hopes to achieve success.
However, due to work reasons, she had to stay on the set all year round, spending less time with her boyfriend and spending more time apart. During this period, she also felt that he was becoming more and more cold.
Until a friend suddenly informed me: Your boyfriend is in love with another girl.
What Chen Zihan couldn't accept even more was that this girl was her best friend since childhood...
In desperation, she had no choice but to cut off her love with a sword.
In the following year, she produced works such as the costume mythological drama "Sou Shen Ji" and "Living Buddha Jigong 3", which successively achieved ratings climaxes, and she is expected to return to the ranks of popular actresses.
Especially in 2013, Chen Zihan received praise again for her role as Bai Lanying in the mythological drama "Everyday Happiness".
But it may be because the photos in these works are too shocking. Although the popularity is very high, it has not greatly boosted Chen Zihan's popularity, and the dividends he received can only be said to be average.
However, she is still very productive, producing four or five works every year, which are all trivial.
In 2015, Chen Zihan met Dai Xiangyu, who was 9 years younger than him, because of his starring role in the period drama "Pearl Earrings".
Rumor has it that the man’s family is in a very good position. His parents have businesses in the United States, Japan and other places, but their education is very positive for him.
It is reported that Dai Xiangyu went out to work when he was 16 years old. Later, he was admitted to the computer department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Because of his handsome appearance, he was discovered by a talent scout and became a model.
In 2007, he made his debut with the talent show "Good Man", and then signed a contract with a Singapore agency and began to transform into an actor.
Although Dai Xiangyu is not as famous as Chen Zihan, his native background is very superior.
After the two met, sparks immediately flew, and they got married after more than a year of dating.
After marriage, Chen Zihan also wanted to return to the family, give birth to a child, and make soup, but she has never been able to do so.
At the same time, she couldn't let go of her career, so she continued to film movies every year.
It’s just that Chen Zihan doesn’t play leading roles anymore. For example, in the 2020 “Heaven and Dragon Sword” directed by Wang Jing, she transformed into the “Purple Shirt Dragon King” and was equally stunning, but her role was not as good as before.
In the past two years, her works have increased, and she has performed wonderfully in the popular "Everyday Life", "For a Secret Fragrance", "Pray for the Present", etc.
Dai Xiangyu's popularity has gradually increased with the help of Chen Zihan, and he has many works, such as the currently popular "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories: Journey to the West".
This is also the question that many viewers are most concerned about after learning that he was involved in the "piaochang" incident: Don't affect this drama!
Some people also said bluntly: "I don't know him", but they were particularly worried about Chen Zihan.
But now it seems that she has experienced ups and downs in the entertainment industry for so many years, what else can she not accept or solve easily?
