I missed one time I failed my loved one, and I don't want to miss a second time. Journey to the West
2021 has just passed, and some people have taken stock of various hot events that have occurred in the past year, including a number of top traffic superstars rolling over, Wu Zhuan, Zheng Sanyi, Li Piian, Zhang Bairi and so on.
There are many celebrity couples who have announced their divorce this year, such as high-quality idols who have been printed on pure water bottles for more than ten years, and finally they were beaten by their ex-wives to the skin, and their images are completely empty.
From the quality idol incident begs the question: Can you still be friends after a breakup?
It's hard, even for celebrity couples.
You may not be friends, but some may still be colleagues.
At the just-concluded 34th Golden Rooster Awards for Chinese Films, Zhang Yimou, who won the Best Director Award for "On the Cliff", was definitely the biggest winner of the night; moreover, Zhang Yimou, who won a total of 10 Golden Rooster Awards, was also the biggest winner in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards.
Because he is the first major director in China, people's attention to Zhang Yimou has long been not limited to his films, but also to various small and large trivia in his life.
For example, a few years ago, Zhang Yimou was fined more than 7 million yuan for being overborn.
However, Zhang Yimou handled his own household chores very well, and he and his current wife Chen Ting had three children, and he also had a daughter Zhang Mo with his first wife, Xiao Huasheng.
The eldest son has begun to learn to be a director, and the eldest daughter Zhang Mo has been debuting for more than 10 years; from 2010's "Love of hawthorn trees" to follow Zhang Yimou as an assistant director, in 2016, the first independently directed film "28-year-old underage", the heroine is Zhang Yimou's popular Ni Ni.
The blockbuster "Sniper", which will be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2022, is also the first time that Zhang Mo and his father Zhang Yimou co-directed.
In addition to the two wives, netizens must remember Zhang Yimou's love affair with international film queen Gong Li.
In 1987, Zhang Yimou began to make his directorial debut "Red Sorghum", selecting Gong Li, who was still studying in Chinese opera; after that, Gong Li became Zhang Yimou's royal heroine, the first generation of Mou girls, and the love affair between the two was exposed, and Zhang Yimou also divorced in 1988.
In 1989, Zhang Yimou participated in the action movie "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Figurines" as the male protagonist, just to get along with Gong Li more.
However, in 1995, Zhang Yimou still broke up with Gong Li.
Maybe it's that it's not a good fit for each other, maybe one of the parties doesn't want to get married, or maybe there are bad people who stir up the relationship between the two.
After the breakup, Gong Li soon got married and also experienced two marriages.
However, 11 years after the breakup, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li began to cooperate again.
In 2006, the box office blockbuster "Full of Golden Armor" was directed by Zhang Yimou, Gong Li was the heroine, and won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards for the first time with this film.
The reason why Gong Li was looking for Gong Li to star in "Golden Armor", in addition to Gong Li's international film queen status and acting strength, is because Zhang Yimou wants to fulfill the promise of letting Gong Li play the queen once.
Later, in 2014's "Return", Zhang Yimou used Gong Li as the heroine. As a result, because of "Return", Gong Li also shelled the Golden Horse Award for being unprofessional, claiming that he would not come again.
"Even better, Zhang Yimou's eldest daughter, Zhang Mo, served as the editor of "Homecoming" and participated in the Cannes International Film Festival together.] 】
However, 4 years later, Gong Li participated in the Golden Horse Awards, this time as the chairman of the jury of the Golden Horse Awards. The reason why he came, one is to give Ang Lee face, and the other is that Zhang Yimou was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for the first time with "Shadow".
Finally, many people noticed that when Zhang Yimou went on stage to receive the best director award, Gong Li on the stage smiled very relievedly and had tears in his eyes.
I really admire Zhang Yimou for being able to handle that kind of relationship like this!
Xu Ke, who is the same year as Zhang Yimou, is also a representative of the Chinese film director industry, and has just attended the Golden Rooster Awards with the crew of "The Water Gate Bridge of Changjin Lake".
Also as a legendary predecessor in the Chinese directing industry, Xu Ke has also been married twice, of which the second paragraph with Shi Nansheng is the most famous.
As early as 1978, Xu Ke, who had not yet become famous, met Shi Nansheng when he was working at Jiashi Television Station, and later developed into a lover through the matchmaking of colleagues. After that, the two joined the newly established New Art City Film, and together with Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei, they became one of the famous Seven Monsters of New Art City, and contributed a lot to the glory of New Art City in the 80s.
Later, the interior of the new art city began to split, and the gradually rising Xu Ke got the support of the gold lord behind the new art city and set up a film studio, and Shi Nansheng always stood with him.
In his work, Xu Ke, who is almost omnipotent, is both a director and a producer, as well as a screenwriter, a martial arts instructor, and so on. Shi Nansheng took care of everything he could not take care of for Xu Ke, including executive producers, interviewing actors, promoting new films, travel planning, and even serving tea and water.
In fact, Shi Nansheng, who has a good family, has knowledge and temperament, and even his appearance when he was young is enough to personally debut as an actor, and his style will not be much bleak in front of his girlfriend Lin Qingxia.
Moreover, after decades of hard work in the film industry, Shi Nansheng has long been recognized as the first female producer in The Chinese language in the circle, and all of Xu Ke's films will have her name.
On June 18, 1996, after 18 years of acquaintance, Xu Kecai and Shi Nansheng were married in Beverly Hills in the United States; in July 2014, another 18 years later, Shi Nansheng admitted in an interview that he had divorced Xu Ke.
Maybe Xu Ke in life does not necessarily need Shi Nansheng, but Xu Ke's films are inseparable from Shi Nansheng.
Therefore, after Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng divorced, the cooperation on the film continued.
In 2017's "Journey to the West", 2018's "Di Renjie's Four Heavenly Kings", the producers are All Shi Nansheng; even, in the first blockbuster "Changjin Lake" in 2021, Shi Nansheng's name still appears in the list of producers, ranking second only to the big boss Yu Dong and Chen Kaige's wife Chen Hong.
Such Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng are also quite enviable.
After the king of comedy, Stephen Chow, transformed into a director, the production of the film was much less, and the last work was "The King of New Comedy" in 2019.
In 2021, the biggest news about Zhou Xingchi is that her ex-girlfriend Yu Wenfeng chased him and sued him in court, which is indeed quite lamentable.
As early as in the TVB period, Zhou Xingchi had a girlfriend Luo Huijuan, which is the first girlfriend known to the public.
A more famous predecessor is Zhu Yin, who met in 1992 with "Truant Weilong 2", which is also a good memory of countless Zhou Xingchi fans.
Zhu Yin's most classic and unforgettable screen image is the Zixia Fairy in 1995's "Journey to the West", but after filming "Journey to the West", Zhu Yin and Zhou Xingchi broke up, because she found that he had another new love.
In the next two years or so, Zhou Xingchi's girlfriend became Karen Mok, and during that time, Karen Mok and Chow Xingchi collaborated on "God Eater" and "Counting Dead Grass"; before that, Karen Mok also participated in Chow's "Journey to the West" and "Night of the Soul".
Then, it was Yu Wenfeng's time, she and Zhou Xingchi began in 1997.
So, what about the relationship between Karen Mok and Stephen Chow after 1997?
You can still be friends.
In 1999, Karen Mok starred in Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy"; in 2001, she made a cameo appearance in "Shaolin Football".
In 2016, Karen Mok also sang the interlude "Hello in the World" for Stephen Chow's New Year film "Mermaid"; at this time, Karen Mok has been married for 5 years.
Compared with Zhou Xingchi's talent, I admire Karen Mok's transparency.
