There are always so many people in the entertainment industry who make people love and hate, and Chen Chong is undoubtedly one of them. Her story can be called a history of struggle for "Chinese actors breaking into Hollywood", but in this epic, controversy and achievement coexist.
Do you still remember Chen Chong, who regarded himself as a foreigner on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala? In one sentence, the national audience blew up. The director at that time, Huang Yihe, probably never dreamed that the heavyweight guests he carefully arranged would become the biggest "thunder point" of the party. How did this former national goddess suddenly become a "white-eyed wolf"?
On closer examination, Chen Chong's experience is actually quite resonant. Who hasn't had the ambition to take to the bigger stage? It's just that the way she chooses is really confusing. Even though he is still a Chinese national, he has already regarded himself as a "foreigner", this change of mentality is really incomprehensible.
Looking at the history of her struggle in United States, it is simply a realistic version of "United States Dream". From working in a restaurant to being molested by a doctor, and finally gaining a foothold in Hollywood, this journey must have been full of sadness and hardship. But I have to say that Chen Chong's acting skills are indeed hardcore, and he can fight his way out of the big dye vat of Hollywood, and he is by no means idle.
However, the character design of this thing really can't stand up to scrutiny. The turmoil of adopting a child, frequently playing controversial roles, and then returning to China to make money in his later years, every step seems to be stepping on the nerves of the audience. This makes one wonder: is reality too cruel, or is human nature too complicated?
In the final analysis, Chen Chong's story actually reflects a larger question: in today's globalized world, how should we define "patriotism"? Is it necessary to stay at home to be patriotic, or is it also a patriotic way to win glory for the motherland abroad? There is probably no standard answer to this question.
Looking back on Chen Chong's acting career, I have to admit that she is a powerful actor. From "Youth" to "Little Flower", and then to the recent "Manslaughter", every role has been interpreted perfectly. It's a pity that sometimes an inappropriate word or deed can erase years of hard work.
Therefore, you still have to think twice before you act. Especially for public figures, every word and deed will be magnified and scrutinized. Chen Chong's story may give us some inspiration: while it is important to pursue your dreams, don't forget your original intention; It's cool to venture out into the world, but don't lose your roots.
Speaking of which, I don't know what you think? If it were you, would you choose to stay at home or venture abroad? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section!
