Mention Gong Li, everyone will still think of her identity as a "girl". Now, whether at home or abroad, her popularity and achievements are already high. The development of the career can be described as smooth sailing, but in terms of feelings, it has experienced twists and turns. As the first "girl", her powerful aura and heroic appearance are precious, and the success of Zhang Yimou's pioneering films is also inseparable from her. Gong Li and Zhang Yimou had a history of interaction, but in the end, the two broke up unhappily, and they are still "old and dead and do not interact with each other".
The intersection of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li in the past
As we all know, Zhang Yimou has made remarkable achievements in film and television. From the first film "Red Sorghum" in 1987, his work has left a deep impression on the audience. In 1988, the film also won the Golden Bear For Best Film at the Berlin International Film Festival, one of the world's three major international film festivals. Not only that, films such as "Ju Dou", "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", and "Alive" have also become his screen classics. Zhang Yimou is not only good at making movies, but also has the creativity of large-scale evening parties. In 2021, the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which everyone still talks about, were created by Zhang Yimou.
There are not a few "mou girls" who have walked out from Zhang Yimou's hands, such as Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni and other well-known actresses. Nowadays, the development of "Mou Girl" is also very good, but Gong Li, as the first "Mou Girl", naturally has an irreplaceable position. From the first work "Red Sorghum" to the later "Ju Dou" and "Big Red Lantern Hanging High", Gong Li became the best choice for the heroine of Zhang Yimou's films. It is precisely because of these excellent film and television resources
Gong Li opened up the market and went international. It also laid the foundation for Gong Li to occupy a place at home and abroad.
However, why did gong Li, the former benefactor, turn a blind eye? Zhang Yimou had two marriages, first in 1978 with his first wife, Xiao Hua, whom he had known for many years. In 1983, their daughter Zhang Mo was born. However, in 1988, the year after filming "Red Sorghum", Zhang Yimou and Gong Li developed a relationship, and in order to be with Gong Li, he resolutely chose to divorce his wife. But financially, he would always support Xiao Hua in raising their children together. Gong Li has also been controversial and has become a "bad woman" who destroys the happiness of other people's families. Later, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li spent 8 years together. Until 1994, Gong Li realized that she was no longer young and asked Zhang Yi for marriage. However, Zhang Yimou refused her request, and Gong Li left him.
Gong Li's emotional experience
Gong Li has won many international awards and has become famous. She is known as "Gong Huang" and is also an international superstar in the eyes of everyone. In addition to her wonderful performance in Zhang Yimou's films, she actually left a classic shot in Chen Kaige's "Farewell to the Overlord". And in their own feelings, there has also been development. In the second year after ending her relationship with Zhang Yimou, she entered the marriage hall with Singapore's tobacco king Huang Hexiang.
It is said that after marriage, Huang Hexiang's career ups and downs were great. In his most difficult times, he needed Gong Li's income to support the family's expenses. However, economic problems did not lead to a direct split in their feelings. But Huang Hexiang is always worried and not confident in himself, because Gong Li has many friends of the opposite sex and is too arrogant. The more time passed, the two found that the circle of life was different and could not be integrated with each other, so in 2009, the marriage between the two came to an end.
Later, Gong Li found a Frenchman, a master of electronic music. Now, they're still together. It is said that when the two meet, it feels like a hit-and-go, probably the so-called meeting and hating the night. Her career did not stop because of the arrival of love. In 2020, she made a cameo appearance in the movie "Mulan" starring Liu Yifei, and in 2021, she won many awards through the role of "Lang Ping" in the movie "Win the Championship".
Today's reality
Speaking of Zhang Yimou's current Chen Ting, does she have anything to do with Gong Li and Zhang Yimou? Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou fell in love in 1999, when Gong Li remarried. As can be seen from the time, there is no love triangle between them. It is a real problem that Gong Li and Zhang Yimou cannot be reunited, and Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting have also formed a happy family. After so many years, Gong Li still can't reconcile with Zhang Yimou, it is her own choice, and it has nothing to do with Chen Ting.
There were mutual achievements, but now they have parted ways. The past is over, and they are in their respective necks again
The field has achieved a lot and has new relationships that don't need to be drawn together. As time passes little by little, it is not a good thing that both of them can start a new life than the unhappiness of the past entanglement.
