1. The ancient idol with infinite scenery has become a "disappointing person" in a blink of an eye

In 2012, one of the most watched talent shows "Sound of Asia" ushered in a talented and distinctive new singer - Huo Zun. Although he only finished third in the Asian competition, his charismatic voice still impressed the judges and the audience.

Since then, Huo Zun has officially entered the entertainment industry as a singer and began his brilliant artistic career.

In the years since, Huo Zun's career has flourished and is unstoppable. On January 30, 2014, he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Horse with his ancient masterpiece "Bead Curtain", and his high-pitched and passionate singing pushed the atmosphere to the climax.

This song quickly became popular on the Internet, and Huo Zun also won the reputation of "Ancient Beauty Man" and "Son-in-law Wen Ruyu".

In the same year, Huo Zun performed well in the first season of "Good Chinese Songs" and successfully won the crown. "Bead Curtain" became the most popular ancient song at that time, which attracted widespread attention in the field of ancient music.

At that time, Huo Zun was undoubtedly a hot idol and was deeply loved by the majority of young fans.

However, who would have expected that just as Huo Zun's career was in full swing, a scandal put him in a predicament. In August 2021, Chen Lu, a dancer who claimed to be his girlfriend for many years, posted an intimate photo of the two on social platforms and Aite Huo Zun's account, seemingly intending to make this relationship public.

However, to everyone's surprise, Huo Zun remained silent on the matter for the next three days, and his unusual attitude aroused suspicion. Soon after, an article of thousands of words went viral, revealing the secret romance that the two had been in for nine years since they met in 2012.

Second, the exposure of hidden circumstances detonated the breakup storm

This long article entitled "Nine Years of an Ordinary Girl" makes public the secret love affair between Huo Zun and Chen Lu for many years. It turned out that they met at work in 2012.

At that time, Chen Lu, as a dancer, was invited to serve as a backup dancer for Huo Zun's performance.

During the rehearsal, the two gradually developed subtle emotional changes. Chen Lu was deeply attracted by Huo Zun's low-key introverted, humble and polite, and Huo Zun also fell in love with this youthful and energetic dancer at first sight.

So, when the curtain came down on that event, they left each other's contact information, and a low-key but affectionate relationship began so quietly.

In the next few years, in order to fully support Huo Zun's acting career, Chen Lu resolutely gave up her beloved dance career and devoted herself to Huo Zun's life.

She followed in Huo Zun's footsteps and traveled to performance venues in various cities to provide him with the most determined support.

However, what makes people sigh is that Huo Zun doesn't seem to pay enough attention to this. In 2014, when he became popular with the song "Bead Curtain", he resolutely refused to publicly admit the relationship between the two, and even asked Chen Lu to delete all group photos and life sharing records, and even canceled each other's attention on the Internet, trying to bury this relationship deep in his heart.

In this way, this relationship lasted until 2020, and after silently accompanying Huo Zun for nine years, Chen Lu finally couldn't bear it anymore. The relationship between them had come to an end, so Huo Zun took the lead in proposing to break up.

Faced with this result, Chen Lu couldn't accept it. After the breakup, she wrote the touching 10,000-word long article with a stroke of her pen, denouncing Huo Zun's indifference to her and making the secret relationship between the two for many years public, which made Huo Zun instantly fall into an unprecedented whirlpool of public opinion.

3. Explicit chat records destroy the personality

Regarding Chen Lu's sudden attack and making the secret relationship between the two for many years public, Huo Zun originally had the opportunity to save his reputation by clarifying the facts and responding positively. However, what really made him completely lose ground and powerless in this turmoil was a series of explicit chat records that were subsequently revealed.

In these intimate conversations with friends, Huo Zun unabashedly uses vulgar words such as "pipa jing" and "erhu jing" to describe women, and the dialogue is full of pornographic jokes and low-grade fun.

Some of these remarks even directly refer to human organs as a topic, which makes people blush.

As soon as these jaw-dropping chat logs were exposed, they immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Huo Zun's once elegant and polite image of an "ancient beautiful man" collapsed instantly, and was replaced by a morally degraded and flamboyant "lower man" image.

Many netizens denounced Huo Zun's quality as urgently need to be improved, and what is jaw-dropping is that the words and deeds he shows in his daily life are diametrically opposed to the image he creates on the stage, which undoubtedly brings great shock to the public! Many loyal fans of Huo Zun also burst into tears at the scene, revealing that they are extremely disappointed in this person.

In just a few days, Huo Zun quickly fell from a highly admired idol to the object of everyone's spit.

Immediately afterward, this wave of online condemnation quickly spread to the real world. First of all, Huo Zun participated in the recording of two popular reality shows, namely "Brother Who Overcame Difficulties" and "We Go All Out", announced the termination of their partnership with him.

Subsequently, many well-known brokerage companies and brands also chose to withdraw and terminated their contracts with him.

All the honors and brilliance of Huo Zun's past were wiped out under the violent impact of this incident, and the acting career he had fought for for many years also suffered a heavy blow and was almost completely destroyed.

When he realized that his efforts had been in vain, he issued a public apology statement, but it was too late at this moment, and online public opinion had completely pushed him into the abyss of his career.

4. Chen Lu was accused of bad motives

Just when people thought that this turmoil was about to come to an end, a sudden "extortion" incident once again pushed Chen Lu to the forefront of public opinion. According to reports, on December 23, 2021, it was revealed that Chen Lu was subject to criminal coercive measures on suspicion of extortion of Huo Zun.

It turned out that after breaking up with Huo Zun, the two parties had negotiated and negotiated repeatedly on the amount of the breakup fee.

Initially, Chen Lu asked Huo Zun for a breakup fee of up to 3 million yuan. However, at the instigation of his best friend Wang Meng, this figure quickly soared to an astonishing height of 9 million yuan. In the face of such a huge "break-up tax", Huo Zun admitted that he couldn't bear it, and he hoped to be able to pay it in stages.

However, Wang Meng was extremely resolute in this, and she advocated that Huo Zun should raise the funds by applying for a mortgage. This made Huo Zun, who was originally full of guilt, also feel confused, so the negotiations between the two sides finally broke down, and all the previous insider conversations were made public.

The revelation of this scene immediately set off a wave of heated discussions and doubts on the Internet.

During that time, many netizens sided with Huo Zun, believing that the artist was the real victim of this incident, and was actually calculated by Chen Lu, a "vicious villain"! Some well-known media even satirized and questioned this incident with the headline "She has loved you for nine years, but you want to send her to prison".

Fifth, the confusion of the timeline arouses public suspicion

After many turmoil, I thought that Huo Zun, a "troublesome spirit", would disappear from the public eye, but unexpectedly, in May 2023, a news about his public announcement of his new relationship detonated the Internet again and quickly topped the hot search list.

According to the official statement, Huo Zun and the lady named Shi Binglan have been in love for two years. This sudden announcement instantly caused an uproar on the Internet. Some netizens said that after two years of precipitation, Huo Zun finally decided to regroup and return to his acting career.

However, there are also those who are firmly opposed and cannot be forgiven. They believe that Huo Zun's past behavior has seriously damaged his public image, and he can be called a representative of the "three views are not correct", and he is not qualified to get any chance to make a comeback at all.

There are also some attentive netizens who found that there are obvious doubts in the timeline of Huo Zun's public relationship. According to him, "I have been in love with my girlfriend for more than two years", then the starting point of a new relationship should be at the end of 2020.

And this point in time is precisely the moment when he broke up with Chen Lu.

In fact, not long before the official announcement, some media exposed photos of Huo Zun and his girlfriend interacting intimately on the street. And the sentence "Thank you for your concern" in the text he accompanied the official announcement made people feel that he seemed to do it on purpose.

6. Be cautious in words and deeds and create a good image

Regarding the news of Huo Zun's public relationship, the reason why the majority of netizens reacted so fiercely is not only because of the relationship itself. The more reason is that after his explicit and indecent chat records were made public, they left an extremely deep negative impression on the public.

As one of the public figures, Huo Zun's image in his daily life is so unsightly, and his words are unrestrained and unadorned! He even openly uses insulting words such as "pipa jing" and "erhu jing", and the content of the dialogue is full of a lot of vulgar fun and erotic jokes, which is really jaw-dropping!

This kind of behavior not only seriously damaged his original beautiful image of "ancient style beautiful man", but also nakedly revealed the distorted side of his inner three views, which is undoubtedly the most disgusting and intolerable place!

Public figures shoulder the expectations and idol complexes of the general public, and once their words and deeds are problematic and disappointing, then the fate of being spurned and abandoned by the public will follow.
