In "Beijing Storm 1 | The Young Lady Forced to Quit the Privileged Compound", we mentioned a kind of social venue, a charity dinner. This kind of dinner party is a win-win business for four parties: luxury goods dealers, female celebrities, Chinese tycoons and organizers.
Among them, the chance of winning for the rich is to get to know female celebrities and gain favor. The chance for winning for female celebrities is that the wealthy will buy some expensive luxury goods for them.
The best organizer of dinner events in China is the Fashion Group and its Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner. Fashion groups are good at organizing such activities. For example, its "Mr. Fashion" magazine also organizes dinners and evening parties.
On January 23, 2008, there was such a party at the Beijing Exhibition Hall - the 2007 Mr. Fashion Awards Ceremony.
That night, a girl in white, Jiang Yiyan, was full of beauty. She participated in every aspect of walking the red carpet, going on stage to receive awards, and performing songs.
In the press release the next day, it was said that Jiang Yiyan's three appearances brought freshness and warmth to the audience.
The person holding Jiang Yiyan’s hand that night was Luo Hong, a wealthy businessman. Because this boss looks so friendly to the people, he makes Jiang Yiyan look like a goddess.
At this award ceremony, Jiang Yiyan won the "Mr. Esquire" Most Promising Female Artist Award. Luo Hong did not accept the award because he just won the Mr. Fashion Award last year. This time it’s just a formality.
Two months after the party, a press release stated that Jiang Yiyan went to Africa for inspection at the invitation of an international environmental protection organization, used a camera to record the local conditions, and called on the whole society to pay attention to living environment issues.
Luo Hong, who held her hand and appeared that night, implemented decentralized management in 2006, delegating the operation and management rights of the company to professional managers. Luo Hong herself began to regain her childhood dream of photography and started an environmental protection fund project with the United Nations Environment Program.
Coincidentally, they both loved photography and went to Africa at the same time, and they were both associated with environmental organizations. Many such coincidences occurred over the years.
During this period, in 2009, Jiang Yiyan got her first brand endorsement in her life. The endorser was the brand "Hollyland" founded by Luo Hong. She replaced the spokesperson position of another female star, Xu Jinglei, the goddess of literary youth of the previous generation.
Although she is not as famous as a celebrity, Jiang Yiyan's treatment is higher than that of Xu Jinglei. For a long time, her beautiful photos have been placed on the homepage of Holiland's official website and dessert gift boxes.
Jiang Yiyan’s story goes forward. She is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and studied at the High School Affiliated to the Beijing Dance Academy. Beiwu has produced many well-known artists, including female stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Bai Baihe, Wang Yanjingtian, Yao Chen, and male stars such as Huang Xuan, Liu Haoran, Zhang Xincheng, and Qiao Zhenyu. Stepping into this school is like having half a foot in the three major film and television academies, China National Opera, Beidian and Play.
It’s just that there are many stories about artists who came from Beiwu. Zhang Ziyi, Bai Baihe, Wang Yanjingtian, Yao Chen, Huang Xuan and Qiao Zhenyu are all full of gossip. Jiang Yiyan is certainly not the exception.
From Beiwu to Beidian in 2002, Jiang Yiyan formed a five-sister group called Pretty Baby. With no money or resources, they also faced the difficulty of surviving as a group.
During this period, Jiang Yiyan also had a love affair. She said that the love affair happened in Beiwu, and her love partner was a teacher, and she jumped into the sea for him. She entered Beijing Dance Theater at the age of 14 and went to film school at the age of 18. She was a minor until one year before graduation.
A few years ago, she said that she had never been in love with anyone of her own age.
After entering Nortel, she and 15-year-old Liu Yifei were classmates.
Before she graduated from Nortel, she signed an agency contract with Wang Jinghua, the eldest sister in the agency circle. Follow her to Chengtian. There is a legend about her in Chengtian that she was the one who dumped Chen Hao's rumored boyfriend at the time - Wu Kebo, the boss of Chengtian. This story was reported by Sina Entertainment, Yangcheng Evening News and other media in the early years.
Chen Hao was promoted by Wu Kebo, and the work "Pink Girl" that made her popular was produced by Wu Kebo and his company. Chen Hao's first music album was also tailor-made for him by Wu Kebo.
When Jiang Yiyan joined Orange Queen, scandals between her and Wu Kebo, who was 16 years older, spread all over the world, and everyone said that she was Wu's new favorite. Wu Kebo said that Jiang Yiyan, who is in her early 20s, should quickly become a first-line star.
During that time, Fan Bingbing was leaving Huayi and became very close to Cheng Tian and Wu Kebo. It happened to be during this period that Chen Hao sadly left Chengtian. Since then, his stardom has been on the downward path and he has faded out of the circle.
After Chen Hao left, Jiang Yiyan was indeed famous in Chengtian for a while. The packaging route is almost exactly the same as Chenhao.
Aihui Records entered mainland China, Chengtian invested in it, and Jiang Yiyan was the first artist to be signed, threatening to spend a lot of money to create an album for her. The first album released by Aihui Records is "Breathe with Love" by Jiang Yiyan.
Then there was "Starlight Cinema" tailor-made for her by Aihui Records and gold medal producers Zhang Yadong and Li Zhuoxiong.
Jiang Yiyan starred as the leading female lead in the TV series "Our Youth Has No Place to Place", and her co-stars were the most popular niche actors at that time, Tong Dawei from the same company, and Chen Daoming. CCTV also has the drama "Spark" in which she is the absolute heroine, playing two roles.
She has no ability to win really big-name awards, and various second-rate Pheasant Awards companies have given her many awards, including the Best Actress at the Kuala Lumpur International Film Festival, the Forbes Annual Potential Celebrity Award, and the BQ Popularity List. The potential celebrities of the year all appeared in these two years.
The "Esquire" awards ceremony that she and Luo Hong attended at the beginning of this article was also during this period.
But when Jiang Yiyan went to Africa in March 2008, her agency, Chengtian, had undergone earth-shaking changes.
At that time, Chengtian and Huayi were the two giants among mainland entertainment companies. No less than Huayi founded by the two brothers, Chengtian’s capital background and factional disputes were more complicated, which broke out intensively during this period.
Manager Wang Jinghua was eliminated from the company due to internal fighting, and left Chengtian with a group of contracted artists. Jiang Yiyan is Wang Jinghua's contracted artist. In the internal fight, she also sided with Wang Jinghua instead of Chengtian, and has followed Wang Jinghua for many years since then.
The details of her story with Chengtian Company, Wu Kebo and others have been forgotten with the decline of Chengtian Company and Wu Kebo.
Luo Hong and Wu Kebo are of the same age, born in 1967, and both are 16 years older than Jiang Yiyan. The two have completely different backgrounds. Wu Kebo worked hard in Japan in his early years and graduated from Soka University in Japan. He first worked as a senior executive of a Japanese company and then entered the entertainment industry to find gold.
Luo Hong never went to college. She is an entrepreneur of the 92 group who cannot be avoided in the wave of China's reform and opening up. Together with her wife, she founded the Holilai pastry brand.
He is a young literary man in the entrepreneurial circle. He likes photography, raising horses, fish, and golf. He claims to be one of the people who knows how to balance life best in the entrepreneurial circle. He has a 40-year-old body and heart. Life sentiments of a 20-year-old.
The choice of a corporate spokesperson by such a young man can also be seen in his aesthetic orientation. In the early years, Xu Jinglei, who was known as the "literary male killer", was chosen. After meeting Jiang Yiyan, the company's only spokesperson became Jiang Yiyan.
Xu Zheng's movie "Hong Kong" depicts a successful middle-aged literary and young male entrepreneur: he relies on his wife's family business to succeed, but in his heart he looks down on his wife's tacky family. Qing's first love revisits old dreams.
Luo Hong’s story is both similar and different from the one in “囧”. He likes to publish press releases to promote his love, telling how he was down and out in the 1980s. In the 1980s, he owed more than 20,000 yuan, and his mother-in-law How he married his daughter against all odds and helped them start a family and start a business; and how his wife Wang Rongmin supported him by selling jewelry when he was in the most difficult time, helping him get out of the trough, selling his house for him when he started his business, and retreating to the family after success.
After Luo Hong successfully became famous, she used her photography hobby as an excuse to take photos all over the world and fund photography projects. Luo Hong said that he goes home less and less, just because he loves to go to Africa and other places to take photos.
Time gives the answer.
When the real scandal appeared, it still involved the group of female celebrities.
Luo Hong is different from many founders. He is very generous and willing to spend money. He bought several expensive horses and rented planes for aerial photography. In 2007, he was willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to establish an environmental protection fund.
In 2008, Jiang Yiyan and Tong Dawei Chen Daoming's drama "Our Youth Has No Place to Place" made Jiang Yiyan a small hit. As for her and Luo Hong’s story, it only began to be exposed a few years later in 2011.
There are too many coincidences in their lives.
When Jiang Yiyan first debuted in 2007, she won an annual potential celebrity award from Forbes. Later, Luo Hong also won an award from Forbes, called "24 World Leaders with Outstanding Hobbies in the World".
Luo Hong has always been fascinated by the flamingos in Lake Nakuru, Kenya. He took many photos of flamingos, both ordinary photography and aerial photography. The one hanging in his Beijing office is also one of the flamingos he took. bird; Jiang Yiyan’s most widely circulated photograph is also an aerial shot of a flamingo.
Photos of Jiang Yiyan and Luo Hong coincidentally appearing in certain places are circulating on the Internet.
In 2011, many media outlets published articles saying that Jiang Yiyan’s boyfriend was suspected to be Luo Hong from Hollyland.
This relationship is worth pondering. Because in July 2012, Luo Hong's wife gave birth to his third child, a daughter. The first two babies were sons. Two months later, Luo Hong and Jiang Yiyan were accurately photographed holding hands and hugging from behind at the racecourse.
In 2013, several media interviewed Jiang Yiyan and said that she admitted her relationship with Luo Hong. In 2014, the media took photos of Jiang Yiyan and Luo Hong returning to Luo Hong's villa together, seemingly living together.
In addition to the story with Luo Hong, Jiang Yiyan will have some scandals with the male protagonist in almost every movie she works with.
Zhuo Wei broke the news that Jiang Yiyan and Lin Zhaohua's daughter went to see Lin Zhaohua's play in the early years and wanted to ask him to film it. At that time, Jiang Yiyan was not famous yet, so Zhuo Wei refused. Lin Zhaohua is the vice-president of Beijing People's Art Theater and a great figure in the drama circle. His son is Lin Xiyue. Lin Xiyue collaborated with Jiang Yiyan in the TV series "Spark" in 2007. In 2007, 24-year-old Jiang Yiyan was an unknown little player in the entertainment industry.
Since then, none of the male protagonists who have collaborated with Jiang Yiyan have escaped. "Our Youth Has Nowhere to Place" with Tong Dawei, "Pretended Couple" with Huang Bo, "Double Food Chronicles" with Francis Ng, and "Four Famous Catchers" with Deng Chao, all are married men and have scandals spread.
The most uproar was a photo of Jiang Yiyan and Deng Chao having a dinner together during the period of "Four Famous Catchers". In 2015, it was also jointly marketed that Deng Chao had cheated on Jiang Yiyan, but both Deng Chao and Zhuo Wei came out to refute the rumors. For this reason, Deng Chao's mother-in-law opened a Weibo account to denounce the rumors.
Parallel to the relationship scandal line is the acting career line. Jiang Yiyan, like Beijing Dance student Huang Xuan, likes to talk about the roles he missed back then. Huang Xuan talks about how he missed Zhang Yimou and "The Golden Armor", and Jiang Yiyan likes to talk about how he missed "Peacock" directed by Gu Changwei.
I wonder if Jiang Yiyan has heard of the scandal surrounding Zhang Jingchu and Gu Changwei’s relationship, as well as Zhang Jingchu being slapped by Gu Changwei’s wife Jiang Wenli. She said that she was not selected for "Peacock" because Zhang Jingchu worked very hard and arrived early for every training and was very dedicated. As a result, Zhang Jingchu became famous.
Jiang Yiyan named herself Jiang Xiaopan, saying that because she has always been known for being slow, no matter how fast or crazy the world is, she still hopes to maintain her inner rhythm. Enjoy a slow-paced life, and don’t want to live like Jiang Yiyan, who is good in the eyes of others.
For this reason, she also wrote a book for herself, called "I am Xiaojiang the Creeper".
Creeper Xiaojiang’s film and television works are not outstanding, but his rise to celebrity status is one step at a time, and he is ruthless and accurate.
Also debuting in the youth series, Wang Luodan starred in three dramas in four years from 2006 to 2010: "Struggle", "Who Makes the Call in My Youth" and "Du Lala's Promotion", among which "Du Lala's Promotion" "La La's Promotion" was released in January 2010 and became an instant hit.
But in 2010, when Wang Luodan was at his peak, she was almost certain to be cast in the movie "Pretend to Be a Couple." The male lead was the new Golden Horse Award winner Huang Bo, but he was replaced by Jiang Yiyan on the eve of filming. Wang Luodan became the one who recalled the film and television drama resources that he had missed.
In May 2012, Yu Zheng posted three Weibo posts in a row, criticizing an actress for being a big name, "The director and I both live in a room worth 110 yuan, but the actress's agent asked for a room worth 750 yuan." Yuan’s room, even the assistant, driver and dog have to stay in a room worth 500 yuan, which is really too much.”
Many media published articles suspecting that the person being bombarded was Jiang Yiyan. Ms. Cai, Jiang Yiyan's manager, responded, "Jiang Yiyan was shot while lying down. There was no dispute between the two parties. Jiang Yiyan does not keep dogs."
A few months later, Jiang Yiyan took her pet dog for a magazine cover. For many years since then, until now, posting photos of dogs and cats and calling herself the good mom of cats and dogs has been Jiang Yiyan's daily routine.
Liu Yifei ranked second after Deng Chao in the movie "Famous Catchers" series that was released in 2012, both in terms of publicity and celebrity status. After the release, fans found that Liu Yifei's role was much lower than that of Deng Chao. Jiang Yiyan in the seventh rank.
Later, Jiang Yiyan won the 16th Huading Award for Best Supporting Actress for the finale of "Four Famous Catchers". Because of this experience, the award presenters Shawn Yue and Fiona Sit were ridiculed in public.
In 2013, Yu Zheng directly retweeted Jiang Yiyan's sarcastic post on Weibo, "The cake shop proprietress even changed her tone after becoming a full-time employee and invited everyone to eat cake."
In 2014, Angelababy and Lin Gengxin were to star in the movie "The Sword of the Third Young Master", which had been publicized for a long time. The starring roles eventually became Jiang Yiyan and Lin Gengxin.
Seven years after they were photographed holding hands and hugging each other, few people know what happened between Jiang Yiyan and Luo Hong, who have become regulars. Even fewer people know that Jiang Yiyan's team has been replaced a long time ago, and it's not Wang Jinghua.
Her current brokerage company is Hehe Garden Culture. Among the company’s indirect major shareholders and ultimate beneficiaries are Zhang Yong and Jiang Fang, two partners from Alibaba and the CEO and CPO of Alibaba Group. .
It’s no wonder that a few days ago, Luo Hong, Luo Hong’s ex-wife Wang Rongmin and Jiang Yiyan jointly denied the past scandals between Luo Hong and Jiang Yiyan.
Jiang Yiyan’s story has already opened a new chapter. In the new chapter, there is no need for past stories to embellish it.
