The information that Zhao Wei was frozen 15.9 million yuan in shares in 3 companies is a hot topic on Chinese social networks. The freezing period lasts for 3 years, until July 2028.
In the past 4 years, from a star at the peak of her fame, Zhao Wei has been "banned" one by one, her marriage broke down, her assets were in deficit and she was turned away by the public. The consequences that Zhao Wei is suffering come from many wrong choices in the past.
Zhao Wei is known as one of the "four great flowers" of the Chinese screen. She became famous from her role as Tieu Yen Tu in the series "Hoan Chau Cach Cach" in 1998. After that, Zhao Wei continuously had hit works such as "Tan su dong ly bid", "Hoa bi", "Doi ban Thieu Lam", "Thien ha bat don duoc"...
According to Chinese media, Zhao Wei is among the few female artists to achieve achievements in many fields from cinema, television, music to director and producer.
With 7 albums released, the beauty born in 1976 has won many music awards, including Billboard awards.
After achieving success on screen, Zhao Wei started investing in business. In 2002, she founded the artist management and film production company Pulin Production, holding a 70% stake.
The first movie directed by Zhao Wei, "So Young", in 2013, was a resounding success with a revenue of 718 million yuan.
After marrying businessman Huynh Huu Long in 2009 and giving birth to a daughter, Zhao Wei's life and career have been further admired.
With her husband accompanying her, Zhao Wei boldly entered the capital market and was once called "Warren Buffett, the female version", building her own business empire.
In 2014, Zhao Wei and her husband invested nearly 400 million USD to buy 9.2% of Alibaba Entertainment shares of Jack Ma's Alibaba Group, becoming the second largest shareholder of the company and earning billions of yuan.
Zhao Wei is also a major shareholder of Tang Yan Film Studio, holding 1.2 million shares.
But in 2017, Chinese public opinion was shocked by the news that Zhao Wei and her husband Huang Youlong established a ghost company (Longwei Media), forged business data, and disrupted the market.
Zhao Wei and her husband were banned from participating in the stock market for 5 years, and Longwei Media Company was fined 600,000 yuan.
In 2021, Zhao Wei was suddenly "banned from broadcasting". Many of her works have been removed from platforms, film awards have also been deleted, and brands that have collaborated with Zhao Wei have all turned their backs.
Although there is no official reason given, the media speculates that this incident is the result of scandals over Zhao Wei's business, private life and complicated political scandals in the past.
Zhao Wei was boycotted for a long time in the early 2000s for wearing a dress with the Japanese flag. She was accused of negative words and had to apologize.
Last December, Zhao Wei continued to shock when she revealed that she and businessman Huang Youlong had been divorced since 2021. According to many speculations, Zhao Wei's ex-husband was at risk of being involved in a scandal because of a huge amount of debt, the actress was afraid of consequences so she quickly announced the divorce.
According to 163, her excellent acting skills and famous roles are enough to support Zhao Wei for the rest of her life. But because of her risky path, many mistakes caused her career to gradually collapse. In the end, the fairy tale marriage also broke up.
