Many years have passed, and Cecilia Cheung is still active in the public's sight.
compared to
.
As one of her ex-boyfriends, Chen Xiaodong , gradually disappeared into the audience's memory.
I remember that Chen Xiaodong, who was praised by Hong Kong media as the "successor of Jacky Cheung " and was once very popular and was an existence in the entertainment industry.
It's a pity.
After experiencing a series of incidents such as master-apprentice rebellion, agent jumping off buildings, lovers tearing each other, and company hiding, this "little king" in Hong Kong in the late 1990s fell to this situation today.
01
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Xiaodong grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth.
Compared with many big stars from poor backgrounds, Chen Xiaodong was born in a wealthy family.
As the eldest son in the family, he has been doting since childhood.
He was particularly naughty when he was a child.
Fighting, stealing things, and pranks are common things, and they are like a "demon king in the world".
However, no matter how powerful the demon king is, he has his natural "nemesis".
Chen Xiaodong's family is a traditional strict father and kind mother type.
The mother's pampering is in sharp contrast with the father's sternness.
No matter how naughty it is, every time I see my father, I will hide behind my mother in fear.
Although his family is relatively wealthy, his father rarely gives Chen Xiaodong pocket money.
Looking at the snacks and toys in the hands of other classmates, Chen Xiaodong secretly vowed in his heart that he must make a lot of money.
does it just right.
Chen Xiaodong bought shoelaces of different colors from the wholesale market and took them to the campus to sell them to the students, earning the difference from them.
Just like that, Chen Xiaodong made his first pot of gold in his life. After
, he expanded his business scope and called on his classmates to apply for the "Dongdong Club Membership Card" he launched.
With this card, you can read comics, rent a car, and borrow pocket money.
Excellent people always have versatile talents.
Chen Xiaodong not only showed his outstanding business talent, but his learning was not affected at all.
can rank among the top in every exam.
According to this growth trajectory, there should be a place among the leaders in Hong Kong's business world in the future.
It’s a pity that a change changed his established direction in life.
15, when my parents divorced because of their disagreement.
Shortly after the divorce, my father remarried and even gave him a younger brother.
Chen Xiaodong felt that he was about to be abandoned, so he became more and more taciturn from his original lively and cheerfulness.
In order to relieve the depression in his heart, he fell in love with singing and vented his negative emotions through songs.
My mother failed to understand the hidden feelings behind his singing. She thought he really loved singing and felt very relieved.
But when I saw Chen Xiaodong hoarse as he sang, I felt something was wrong.
In order to make the son speak out more scientifically, the mother found the famous music godfather of Hong Kong Dai Sicong under the introduction of an acquaintance.
Who is Dai Sicong?
Fai Wong , Andy Mui , Aaron Kwok , Leon Laming and other music pioneers.
As soon as Chen Xiaodong spoke, Dai Sicong discovered the crux of the problem.
However, he believes that Chen Xiaodong is very plastic and will definitely achieve something in time. So he was taken as his apprentice.
In order to facilitate training, Dai Sicong also asked Chen Xiaodong to move to his home.
As we spend time together day and night, the relationship between master and apprentice becomes more and more stable.
Under Dai Sicong's professional guidance, Chen Xiaodong's singing skills have made great progress.
Not only that, Chen Xiaodong also really fell in love with singing from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of love is pure and does not have much to do with making money.
For this reason, he is determined to be a singer.
Who knows that the mother who sent her to learn singing disagreed.
Mother believes that Chen Xiaodong should focus on his studies and singing can only be used as a hobby.
But my mother finally failed to resist Chen Xiaodong, who had his own opinions.
However, my mother proposed a condition: if you can’t achieve grades within five years, you will come back to continue your studies.
02
With the support of the famous teacher Dai Sicong,
In 1995, 20-year-old Chen Xiaodong won two new music awards as soon as he debuted.
Not only that, it has also appeared on the big screen with its pure and sunny image.
In a moment, Chen Xiaodong gained a large number of fans.
However, behind Chen Xiaodong's glory, Enshi and Dai Sicong are naturally indispensable.
Chen Xiaodong was also lucky enough to join the industry's prestigious Polygon Records Company.
And his teacher Dai Sicong naturally became his agent and signed a ten-year contract with him.
In the contract, Chen Xiaodong's performance income was equal to Dai Sicong.
At that time, Chen Xiaodong was just starting out and perhaps he was dissatisfied and it was not easy to question it in person.
What's more, the other party is the mentor who treats you with kindness.
, but this also laid the groundwork for future master and apprentice turn against each other. In the three years after
, Chen Xiaodong developed rapidly.
not only won awards for three consecutive years, but also took on filming movies while singing.
At that time, Hong Kong media praised him as "Jack Jacky Cheung's successor."
Not only is he popular in Hong Kong, but this male star is also popular in the mainland and Taiwan.
Among her fans are Ariel Lin , which later became famous for her idol drama "Prank Kiss", and Selina, which is in the Asian women's group "she".
In 1998, Chen Xiaodong also collaborated with Stephen Chow and Sammi Cheng in the movie " One-stop ".
However, just when his acting career was booming, he and his mentor broke up.
The main reason why both master and apprentice reversed is that their income distribution is unreasonable.
Because his career is in a rising period, Dai Sicong's itinerary for Chen Xiaodong is always full of schedule.
The high-load work also caused Chen Xiaodong's health to have a lot of problems.
But even so, the rewards received will be half taken away by Dai Sicong.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaodong decided to terminate the contract with his mentor in advance.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaodong's decision directly angered Dai Sicong.
Dai Sicong believes that he spent a lot of effort to train Chen Xiaodong in his early years to overcome difficulties for his debut. He finally became famous, but now he is so wings that he wants to fly solo. Chen Xiaodong's behavior is ungrateful.
For this reason, Dai Sicong was so angry that he even held a press conference to criticize Chen Xiaodong.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaodong refused to give in and accused Dai Sicong of not considering his physical condition in order to make money.
Both sides are fighting each other, and they are openly fighting each other.
Later, under the mediation of multiple personnel, Chen Xiaodong paid Dai Sicong 7 million Hong Kong dollars to restore his freedom.
Although this incident caused a lot of controversy, it did not have much impact on Chen Xiaodong's acting career.
Immediately afterwards, in 1999, Chen Xiaodong met his second agent, Liang Shaoying.
Because of friends, the two hit it off and signed a five-year contract.
This year, Chen Xiaodong met Cecilia Cheung, who had just debuted because of a chorus song.
After Liang Shaoying took over Chen Xiaodong, he re-planned Chen Xiaodong's acting career. After
, Chen Xiaodong focused on his singing career and basically did not take on filming movies.
He has won many music awards and often appears on the stages of major evening parties as a guest.
03
Because of work, Chen Xiaodong got very close to his agent.
The two were photographed by the media and often traveling and having dinner together.
Liang Shaoying is a few years older than Chen Xiaodong. She takes care of Chen Xiaodong's work and daily life like her sister.
But such intimacy seems extraordinary to outsiders.
Rumors are that Liang Shaoying and Chen Xiaodong have an ambiguous relationship.
In response to this, Chen Xiaodong played Tai Chi: "She and I are married, at work.”
However, one day in 2000, Liang Shaoying jumped from a high-rise building.
She left a huge check and asked others to help take care of the elderly in the family, and there was no other last words.
Liang Shaoying's death caused an uproar, but there were different opinions about the cause of her death.
However, the most accepted cause of death was that because of the high work pressure, she suffered from depression .
After Zheng Zhongji revealed that Liang Shaoying had visited Chen Xiaodong's residence before his death.
So, Liang Shaoying's cause of death became confusing and began to point to the emotional entanglement between the two.
Reasonablely, as a work partner and a "close friend" in life, Liang Shaoying's death is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Chen Xiaodong.
After all, after Chen Xiaodong and Dai Sicong broke up, Liang Shaoying saved him from danger and signed him decisively.
However, Chen Xiaodong did not attend Liang Shaoying's memorial service.
However, people cannot be resurrected, and the living must continue to live.
Shortly after this, Chen Xiaodong was photographed by the media traveling intimately with Cecilia Cheung many times.
The relationship between the two was confirmed.
But this relationship was not accepted by the public as expected.
His relationship was not accepted by the public as expected.
Even media linked this matter to Liang Shaoying's death.
Some people speculated: On the night of the incident, Liang Shouying went to Chen Xiaodong's house and happened to find Cecilia Cheung. Liang Shaoying, who had a crush on Chen Xiaodong, couldn't accept it, so she chose to jump off the building and commit suicide.
But no matter how fierce the rumors were from the outside world were, Chen Xiaodong always remained silent.
After Chen Xiaodong got together with Cecilia Cheung, the two often put on sugar together.
When the love was so strong, Cecilia Cheung spent millions to buy a mansion, preparing to stay with Chen Xiaodong's long house.
Seeing that the two were so sweet, the public didn't say anything anymore.
However, they were just in love. After a year, Chen Xiaodong publicly announced that he had broken up with Cecilia Cheung.
That year, during the breakup between Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse and , Cecilia Cheung took advantage of the situation and got it together with Nicholas Tse. After
, Chen Xiaodong once "connotated" Cecilia Cheung in a program in Taiwan, implying that she was trampled on several boats and had a little indecisive private life.
This statement was made, and public opinion was uproar.
Cezia's image of jade girl was greatly reduced.
Entertainment circle has always been a complicated relationship with interests.
Maybe Chen Xiaodong would not have thought that in addition to humiliating Cecilia Cheung, he also offended Cecilia Cheung's agent at the time. Xiang Tai Chen Lan, the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
At that time, Cecilia Cheung was not only the money cow of the "China Star" Group, but also had a close personal relationship with Chen Lan.
In a sense, Chen Xiaodong's approach is tantamount to cutting off people's and financial resources.
Chen Lan, who could not bear it, immediately held a press conference, publicly criticized Chen Xiaodong as a "scumbag" and counted Chen Xiaodong's " Seven Deadly Sins ".
unfaithful men, emotional infidelity, hype, borrowing Cecilia Cheung to the top, etc.
Perhaps it was because of the forces that were afraid of Chen Lan, or because they were caught by the other party, Chen Xiaodong did not respond to this.
Under the guidance of Chen Lan's public opinion, Chen Xiaodong became a unfaithful "scumbag" and his image plummeted. After
, Chen Xiaodong was "hidden" by the company.

After being "hidden", Chen Xiaodong knew that he could not turn over in Hong Kong, so he turned to the mainland to develop. The resources I got at the beginning were pretty good, and I partnered with Xu Jinglei and Qin Hailu and , but I didn’t find any splashes.
partner with Taiwanese star Xu Xiyuan starring " Chinese Ghost Story ".
But because his character is not pleasing, as the male lead, he was snatched away by the supporting role.
Chen Xiaodong was not discouraged and continued to cooperate with Gao Yuanyuan and Li Bingbing , but he still failed to get out of the circle.
Later, the invitations he received were getting fewer and worse, so he simply gave up his acting career and turned to do business.
relied on his outstanding business judgment ability and made a fortune by speculating in real estate.
Perhaps he was nostalgic for the glory of the entertainment industry, but he returned to the entertainment industry and continued to take on roles.
The entertainment industry has always been based on popularity and strength.
At that time, Chen Xiaodong was over 30 during the Chinese New Year and did not have strong strength, so he naturally would not be popular with capital.
The drama he can receive is getting worse and worse. The result of the vicious cycle is the complete collapse of reputation.
No matter how the outside world evaluates it, Chen Xiaodong always sticks to himself.
Until 2013, the script of "Lanling King" came to his hands.
The heroine is Ariel Lin who was obsessed with her back then.
Chen Xiaodong was overjoyed, held the script and studied it carefully, and carefully pondered the role of "Lanling King".
, but soon the producer told him that he was the second male lead.
Chen Xiaodong was very disappointed. After all, no matter how bad the films were in the past, they were still the male lead.
This male duo is very unpleasant. After it is broadcast in the future, I will definitely be scolded for being criticized.
But Chen Xiaodong still accepted the reality and completed the shooting work seriously.
What surprised him was that after the series was broadcast, many viewers became obsessed with this "second male lead".
In 2014, 39-year-old Chen Xiaodong married his beautiful wife, 14 years younger than him, Wang Yuxian .
Wife Wang Yuxian was originally a nurse and they met in the hospital.
Later, on a whim, he entered the entertainment industry and soon returned to his old career and became a nurse. After
, the wife gave birth to two lovely daughters, and Chen Xiaodong also returned to the family and raised two daughters with his wife.
In 2020, Chen Xiaodong appeared at the recording site of " Chasing Lights , Brother".
brings memories to the audience, while more people focus on that "Internet celebrity face".
's stiff expression, exaggerated double eyelids, and the too protruding apple muscle .
is completely different from the image of natural sunshine 20 years ago.
The topic of "Chen Xiaodong's plastic surgery" was once hyped up on the hot search.
In order to prove his innocence, Chen Xiaodong directly pinched his face hard at the interview site, trying to break the rumors.
However, netizens did not buy it and said that even if it was not a scheming, they must have had a beauty injection.
As for whether Chen Xiaodong had plastic surgery, only he himself knows best.
Speaking of which, since he parted with Cecilia Cheung, Chen Xiaodong's career has never improved.
After many years, his grudges with Cecilia Cheung have long been resolved, and the two families will gather together in their spare time.
Although his mentor Dai Sicong did not reconcile with him during his lifetime, after his master passed away, a deep kneeling at the mourning meeting was better than a thousand words.
In life, you will experience high mountains and low valleys.
No one decides the direction of fate. All you can do is try to keep a normal mind.
Whether it is lucky or unfortunate, I have experienced everything I should have experienced.
The past is like smoke, the years are like songs, say goodbye to yesterday and cherish today.
As Chen Xiaodong himself said, he believes that he will be better in the future.
