64-year-old "Idol Godfather" Sun Derong (General Sun) was once diagnosed with stage 3 bladder cancer and has suffered for years from the sequelae of an artificial bladder. He also has spinal issues that prevent him from standing for long periods and is scheduled for surgery in July. He founded "J-Star," which once propelled stars like Show Lo, 5566, Ming Dao, and Chen Qiaoen to stardom. Recently, during a program appearance, he revealed the "mentor-disciple fallout" with Chen Qiaoen, insinuating that she lacks gratitude and "thinks she's very great."
Chen Qiaoen was originally an artist under J-Star, forming the girl group "Seven Flowers" with Zhao Xiaoqiao, Lai Weiru, and others to release albums. She gradually took roles in several Taiwanese idol dramas before moving to Chinese dramas. As Chen Qiaoen gained popularity in China, she and Sun Derong completely severed ties and stopped communicating.
Host He Dulin asked Sun Derong which disciple disappointed him the most. Sun sighed three times, saying, "She thinks she's very pretty, she thinks she's great, she thinks everything is due to herself, and she thinks she is admired by all and is the best in the world." Sun Derong said when Chen Qiaoen became popular, he let her co-host the "Variety Flagship" show with Wu Zongxian. However, the studio staff caught her drinking alcohol, disregarding professional ethics. After catching her, he decided to freeze her for a year.
But Sun Derong emphasized that during the frozen year, he paid for Chen Qiaoen to learn various arts, including music, chess, literature, and dance. "A good artist should know a bit of everything so producers can use them," he said. After the year passed, Chen Qiaoen sought various big-name celebrities to terminate her contract with him, but her breakthrough came with the drama "Prince Turns into Frog," leading to her massive success. Chen Qiaoen believed it was due to her looks and acting skills, even getting Ming Dao to assist her, while Sun Derong lamented, "She thinks it's all her own doing, ignoring our efforts in paving her way."
