Many times, star artists are synonymous with glamorous beauty in our eyes.
As Shen Teng joked in the sketch, "When the actor comes to money quickly." Squeezing your eyebrows can make money, and the amount is particularly large, no wonder everyone envies the stars.
But there is such a well-known artist, he lived a glamorous life absurdly, not only squandered his life savings, but also carried a huge debt, discredited and discredited.
Once he also occupied a place in Taiwan's variety show industry and even the entertainment industry, enjoying the stars holding the moon and living a wanton life, but now he was paid by creditors to collect debts, and even several times he was rumored to be light.
His absurd life shows us the other side of the star world, as Zhang Ailing said: life is a gorgeous robe, which is full of lice.
This person is Taiwan's three-habitat artist - Peng cha. How profligate he was when he was young, how desolate the evening scene is today.
Peng cha was born in 1956 to an ordinary family in Taiwan. Because he was talented in singing, his mother spent a lot of money to send him to a music training class. However, Peng, who had just finished junior high school, chose to drop out of school and enter society.
With a good voice, Peng Cha ran to the restaurant to sing.
Just at that time, The well-known Taiwanese producer Wang Weizhong went to eat at the restaurant where Pengcha sang, and he was attracted by the singing, and he discovered Pengcha's musical talent and brought Pengcha into the entertainment circle.
In the first few years of entering the entertainment industry, Peng Cha did not make much achievements in music, but he did not have the heart to plant willows in variety shows.
In 1989, with his brilliant performance in the variety show "Serial Bubbles", Peng cha won the Golden Bell Award for Best Host.
Just when the variety show career was about to usher in its peak, Peng Cha willfully threw away the microphone in his hand and turned around to participate in the TV series "Family with a Fairy Wife".
Peng Cha, who plays the main role in the play, with his simple appearance and good acting skills, successfully created a "wife slave" image that is stupid and silly, but also simple and cute.
The series was a huge success as soon as it aired. Since then, in the hearts of the audience, Peng is exactly an honest person who is not proud of his appearance, but he is thick and lovely.
Not long after, Pengcha picked up the microphone again and partnered with "Hong Kong Sister" Zeng Qingyu to become the second-generation host of the variety show "Rose Night".
There is a unit in the show called "Ghost Story", which specializes in sharing the story of the strange and chaotic god, and has a very high rating. At that time, "Pengcha was possessed by the gods" once became a hot topic, bringing Pengcha a very high degree of attention.
Since then, Pengcha's career has been soaring, starring in film and television dramas, hosting variety shows, and publishing records, which can be described as a down-to-earth "three-habitat artist".
But who would have thought that the days of scenery would come to an abrupt end in a few years.
In August 2003, Pengcha became acquainted with female artist Lu Liang for recording the variety show "Golden Nightclub" and invited her to her home.
Peng Cha, who has made great achievements in his career, originally wanted to collect flowers and beauties in his pocket, but he did not expect to encounter the "immortal jump". On that night, the peng of the wandering skeleton was premeditated by Lu Liang.
A year later, when the two cooperated again, Lu Liang actually took out a CD-ROM and extorted tens of millions of Taiwan dollars from Pengcha.
Although artists are considered a high-income group, it is not possible for ordinary people to take out tens of millions in a short period of time, and Peng is no exception. Desperate, he could only borrow usurious loans from underground money banks, borrow tens of millions of dollars with interest of 13 points, and finally rolled profits to 18 million.
Huge financial pressure caused Pengcha to sell all his family property and cause him to suffer from depression for a while. When facing the media afterwards, Peng just said: "After I became popular, I was arrogant, and I would not be able to resist the temptation of female sex." ”
The teenager debuted, saw too many warblers and swallows, and the young man who was running alone at the beginning could not resist the temptation after all.
Peng, who had been stripped out of his entire wealth, decided to give it a go, he really couldn't bear to let his elderly mother work again to pay off his debts, and he felt that he could make a comeback.
But the reputation is no longer there, and he is getting older, Peng just knows that he can't take the stage again to laugh and scold, so he decides to change careers.
Ordinary people's salaries are naturally losing their "identity", but they urgently need huge amounts of cash, so Peng just set his sights on film and television and made movies as a director himself.
But making a movie requires funds, and the infamous Peng is naturally unable to attract investment, so he once again found an underground money bank and borrowed 60 million yuan.
Although Peng Cha has also participated in many movies and has relevant experience before, but the art industry has a specialty, an actor who can shoot is not necessarily a director who can shoot.
As a result, the box office of the film invested by Pengcha was dismal, and even the cost could not be recovered.
Old debts have been repaid and new debts have been added, and Pengcha's credibility is in jeopardy. Many former friends have said that they will not lend money to Pengcha again. Old friend Wu Zongxian said in an interview with reporters: "It is okay to help, borrow money without talking." ”
In desperation, Pengcha could only find the underground money house again. After several borrowings, the debt has rolled to a terrible 240 million!
In the days after that, Pengcha was not only worried about it every day, but also was once hunted down and killed by the underworld for money. At its toughest, pengcha only had 500 pieces left in his pocket.
As the old saying goes, how big a foot is and how big a shoe to wear. Ambition is good, but if there is no strength to match, then ambition will only harm people.
You can't be "willful" if you have money, and you can't daydream about getting rich overnight without money.
The debt-ridden Pengcha is not alone, and the new works that were expected to sell well at the box office have once again hit the streets. Not only is there no urgent need to solve the urgent need, but the debt is even worse.
The huge debt made Pengcha's wife feel very frightened, and she once knelt down and begged Pengcha to "don't borrow anymore!" But his wife's tears did not make Peng Cha die, and he was ready to borrow money to make a new movie.
In 2019, Pengcha was looking for investment everywhere and happened to receive a call from a man surnamed Chen. Chen claimed that he could help introduce investors and find someone to borrow money, that is, he had to charge a certain fee.
Just as the hot pot ant Peng Cha suddenly smiled happily, hurriedly transferred the 420,000 handling fee to Chen Mou. A few days later, Chen's phone never rang again.
A month later, Peng Cha responded to the police. Pull investment can not succeed, but lose hundreds of thousands, it seems that such an absurd farce really happened to an adult.
On August 6, 2020, Pengcha, who had not appeared in front of the camera for a long time, held a press conference and officially declared bankruptcy.
At the press conference, Pengcha admitted that he had owed 240 million yuan, and that the debt had been paid off by half, but he had no ability to repay the loan at present, and begged more than thirty borrowers to give him time.
Peng also said that he still has three programs on his hands, and the new movie will be released as scheduled, and said that he will not evade debts or run away, hoping that everyone can give him time.
Accompanying Pengcha to the press conference was Pengcha's long-time friend Xu Xiaoshun.
Xu Xiaoshun said at the press conference: "When we went out on location, many grandmothers said you don't want to die. We are two people who bring so much joy, how can you (Pengcha) live such a painful life, your hardship we feel, you don't say we can't help you solve it. “
The words were sincere, and even choked up at one point: "I hope everyone gives him a chance!" Give him the opportunity to continue to serve, maybe the big boss your money, ease up, a lot of pressure to make him unable to do things, give him time to let him slowly repay, maybe this time will come back. ”
At the press conference, Peng Cha's mental state was very poor, and he had been losing his mind when recording, I don't know if he remembered how beautiful he was when he was surrounded by reporters last time, and today's situation is different from the original.
In September this year, Taiwan media reported that PengCha had lost contact after borrowing 460,000 Taiwan dollars from his friend PeiZhen, and left a message predicting that this was his "last night in life".
After receiving Pengcha's suspicious "light life preview" text message, Peizhen was worried that Pengcha would not be able to open it, and contacted his family and relatives and friends everywhere.
But even if his son Pippi called Pengcha, the phone also showed a busy tone, as if the mobile phone had been turned off.
Just when everyone was anxious, Pengcha's social media updated the dynamics -
"Recently, due to the epidemic, many plans have been affected, which has caused Penge's psychology to suffer a very serious blow! Friends and family are worried, and I apologize to you. ”
There was no reason, no explanation, a sentence that was lost lightly, and a sentence that apologized lightly. Peng, who is already 64 years old, still seems to have the same wayward temper as when he was younger.
In fact, this is not the first time that Pengcha has been on the news hot search because of his light life.
As early as last November, Peng Cha had sent a light text message to his apprentice and left a last word: "If you find me somewhere, you have already done something hastily, but the eldest children in the family, help me look at the point and take care of them." ”
However, after three hours of persuasion, Peng Cha finally gave up the idea of taking his own life.
As a well-known Taiwan star, Peng Cha sold his face to borrow money in the year of Hua Jia, and was even forced to the idea of taking his own life, which can be described as a desolate evening scene.
In fact, God did not give Pengcha a chance, after the announcement of bankruptcy press conference, Taiwan's live broadcast king Lian Qianyi once threw an olive branch to Pengcha.
Lian Qianyi invited Pengcha to enter the live broadcasting industry, and even opened a contract with an annual income of more than 20 million yuan to Pengcha, and announced that the two sides reached a consensus. When everyone thought that Peng would appear in the live broadcast room, he was punched in the face by a press conference.
After that, Pengcha suddenly held a press conference to clarify that there was no willingness to cooperate with Lian Qianyi, and the previous rumors were all misinformation. He also accused Lian Qianyi of publicizing the cooperation between the two sides without authorization, so that the creditors thought that they had got the money, and they went to the door to collect debts, which seriously affected their lives.
In this regard, even Qianyi restored the whole process of the meeting between the two sides in the afternoon live broadcast room and released a voice. A man on behalf of Peng just conveyed: "Brother Peng has called me, he has received your sincerity, he wants to contact and cooperate with you, he saw the news and said that he was very touched, very grateful, thinking about how to cooperate with you model." ”
And Lian Qianyi also revealed that the matchmaker of this cooperation is a senior actor in the circle "Black Face", and he has a good friendship with Peng.
I thought it was a friendly cooperation of mutual benefit and reciprocity, but I didn't expect to be punched in the face. Lian Qianyi, who lost face, directly choked on the live broadcast: "You are a person with no production capacity, I am a very productive person, do you know what I mean?" ”
At the latest press conference, Peng Cha was asked about the repayment plan, peng cha said that the original debtors have not been reduced, and even new money owed to many young people in the circle.
"I'm sorry for my good friends in show business, everyone works hard to make money by recording, because I open my mouth and everyone is embarrassed to refuse... Some expect to have lost their income, turn into avoiding friends, and apologize to good friends publicly here. ”
An old man with a flower armor who should have received both honors and become an old predecessor actually said such a thing in front of the flash, which was really regrettable.
Looking back at the first half of Pengcha's life, he became famous at a young age, was debauched, and thought that he could have a great harvest of fame and beauty, but his desire was difficult to calm down, and he finally fell into the abyss of desire.
When he was young, he was willful, thinking that he could stand up to the sky and run away despite the efforts of his parents; when he became famous, he was willful, thinking that everything was in control and debauchery. As everyone knows, the gifts of fate have already been quietly marked with prices.
