Zhang Yimou is a unique existence in the film and television circle, but he has an artistic achievement from a rural background.
He not only photographed countless classic works, but also created several large-scale opening ceremonies, which were full of praise.
However, Zhang Yimou, who has achieved fame, has had two marriages.
After he divorced Xiao Hua, he married Chen Ting and had children, and after marriage, he had two sons and a daughter.
Zhang Yimou is 31 years older than Chen Ting, and whether it is a family member or an outsider, he is not optimistic about this relationship.
And Chen Ting, with sincerity, was recognized by her mother-in-law and stepdaughter.
Chen Ting, born in 1981, to an ordinary family in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
Her parents are ordinary workers, have no special requirements for their daughters, and hope to grow up healthy and happy.
In a family without artistic cells, Chen Ting likes to dance. Parents see that their children are interested, so they save some money to send their daughters to learn dance.
After graduating from junior high school, Chen Ting gave up her studies, entered the song and dance troupe, became a dancer, and began to support herself.
However, after working for two years, Chen Ting was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted to stand on a bigger stage, and her parents also agreed that her daughter would continue to pursue her dreams.
She decided to apply for the Beijing Film Academy acting major, intending to become an actress.
Although Chen Ting has not attended high school and cannot participate in the college entrance examination normally, she can choose a higher vocational class.
After several months of struggle, Chen Ting finally entered the school of her choice.
Seven or eight hours from Jiangsu to Beijing, she carried forward with dreams on the way, but the future road was full of unknowns.
During her freshman year, Chen Ting studied honestly and improved her own strength.
In 2000, Chen Ting came to the first half of her sophomore year and watched her classmates start filming, and she was eager to move.
It just so happened that Zhang Yimou was preparing to recruit actors for "Happy Time", and by chance Chen Ting saw the news and decided to try it, even if it was to increase the experience.
Zhang Yimou is very strict with the actors, the interview can not be makeup, she obediently obeyed, took a two-hour bus to the crew.
There are many people on the scene, most of them are actors who come to interview with her, some actresses have light makeup, but Chen Ting is unremarkable.
Zhang Yimou, on the other hand, paid attention to her, her face was young and pure, and she looked like a girl with a clean personality.
In the interview, Zhang Yimou paid special attention to Chen Ting.
Unfortunately, Chen Ting's performance skills are not good, Zhang Yimou did not use her, but remembered this girl in his heart.
When this movie was implemented, Zhang Yimou remembered the girl in his heart and wanted to know Chen Ting.
Although Chen Ting was not selected, Zhang Yimou used other work of the crew as an excuse to contact.
In the face of director Zhang Yimou's initiative, Chen Ting contacted with an attitude of learning and appreciation.
After a short period of time together, Zhang Yimou found that she was gentle and cute, and the way she laughed was particularly heartwarming.
After returning home, Zhang Yimou was obsessed with Chen Ting and wanted to fall in love with Chen Ting.
Zhang Yimou is 50 years old, and there is no extra time to pursue carefully, directly cutting to the right topic.
That day, he asked Chen Ting to come out, and when he came up, he directly confessed to being a girlfriend.
In the face of everything that suddenly happened, Chen Ting was overwhelmed, and her brain was hot and agreed to Zhang Yimou.
However, because of zhang Yimou's identity, it is necessary to maintain an underground love, and Chen Ting agreed.
Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou together are like a bet, and I don't know what the future will be like.
After being together, Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou are very low-key, usually she studies in school, while Zhang Yimou works in the crew.
During the break, the two secretly joined together.
Zhang Yimou takes meticulous care of Chen Ting, just like a father to a daughter, and when she encounters difficulties, Zhang Yimou will personally solve them.
Chen Ting is particularly secure and firmly believes in being with Zhang Yimou.
Their love is equivalent to "year-old love", and Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou feel that age is not a problem together, and they don't care about Zhang Yimou and his ex-wife and Gong Li.
Chen Ting is full of countless fantasies about love at this age, but she has a sense of maturity.
Zhang Yimou was never required to play crazy with himself, and when he was busy at work, he obediently waited for him to rest, and rarely lost his temper with him.
Zhang Yimou loves Chen Ting more deeply and stays with her when nothing happens.
Not long after, Chen Ting found out that she was pregnant, a 19-year-old college student who was pregnant and overwhelmed.
Chen Ting told Zhang Yimou about this matter.
After experiencing so many things, he was very calm, did not give an answer, but turned around and asked Chen Ting, are you born, or choose to continue learning.
This is a major life event, Chen Ting did not consult with the parents, made a bold decision, to suspend the students' children.
Zhang Yimou has no idea of getting married, Chen Ting does not mind, she is willing to marry mr. children again, she only hopes that Zhang Yimou can go home with her to meet her parents.
A 19-year-old student, so brave, is because of love, let Zhang Yimou look at him, promised to go home to see his parents.
Chen Ting did not tell her parents in advance and took her boyfriend home.
When I arrived at home, my parents saw that it was director Zhang Yimou, thinking that I was talking to my daughter about work and warm hospitality.
As a result, Chen Ting came to a sentence: Mom and Dad are my boyfriends!
Chen Ting's parents were confused and stopped what they were doing, but they quickly reacted and continued to greet Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou's age can be Chen Ting's father, and he is still a few years older than her parents, and Chen Ting's parents completely reject it.
When cooking, Chen Ting's mother called her daughter to help and secretly asked her: Is it too old, you two are not suitable, break up early.
This reaction was expected by Chen Ting, who directly told her mother: I am pregnant.
A sentence directly made the mother fall into contemplation, and quickly called her husband to come to her side for consultation.
Raw rice cooked mature rice, Chen Ting's parents can only agree, need Zhang Yimou to agree to the conditions.
One is that Zhang Yimou must marry Chen Ting, and the other is to protect Chen Ting, not to disclose the relationship, and to let her daughter live with her.
Zhang Yimou broke up with Gong Li because he did not marry, but he agreed to Chen Ting's parents' request.
Chen Ting's parents put aside their worries and agreed.
In 2001, under the care of her parents, Chen Ting successfully gave birth to her son in the hospital, named Zhang Yinan.
Zhang Yimou was overjoyed, this was the first son.
In the eyes of the outside world, Zhang Yimou's life is no different from before, except for filming or filming.
Although Zhang Yimou did not tell anyone that he had a child, he told his own daughter Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo is the daughter of Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua, and after the divorce, she lived with her mother, Zhang Yimou was responsible for maintenance, and occasionally went to see her daughter.
Zhang Mo was two years younger than Chen Ting.
When Zhang Yimou told his daughter that he was in love and had a child, Zhang Mo had a complicated heart.
Originally because of Gong Li, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua divorced, and Zhang Mo hated Gong Li, thinking that after his father broke up, he could get back together, and he fell in love with her.
Zhang Mo is not young, knows how to think independently, she did not spill like before, but accepted this stepmother who was two years older than herself.
Finding a suitable day, Zhang Yimou arranged for Zhang Mo to meet with Chen Ting and his brother.
The first time they met, Chen Ting and Zhang Mo were a bit restrained, and the communication was very polite, but fortunately it was quite harmonious.
Zhang Mo still needs a process to accept Chen Ting, but chen Ting often asks Zhang Yimou to send her things in order to get along with her stepdaughter.
Later, Zhang Mo went abroad to study, and had less communication with Chen Ting, while Zhang Yimou called his daughter and did not forget to say that Chen Ting was good.
Zhang Mo completely accepted Chen Ting in his heart, and after returning to China, he went to find her to party and play in the streets together.
The relationship between the two of them is not like a stepmother and stepdaughter, but more like a girlfriend.
Zhang Yimou was very relieved to see all this.
In 2004, when Zhang Yimou's son was 3 years old, Chen Ting became pregnant again, still choosing to keep it a secret and be cared for by her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
During pregnancy, Chen Ting hopes that Zhang Yimou can accompany her, especially pregnant girls are prone to sentimentality.
And Zhang Yimou had no time, Chen Ting could only learn to understand on her own, and she couldn't bear that he wouldn't be home for a month and never looked for him.
Sometimes, Zhang Yimou dragged his tired body home, and the pregnant Chen Ting took the initiative to take care of her husband and make him food.
You should know that chen Ting was the pearl in the palm of her parents in the past, but with Zhang Yimou, she learned to cook, do housework, take care of people, etc.
A few days before giving birth, Zhang Yimou also felt sorry for Chen Ting to take care of her and gave birth to her daughter smoothly.
After another two years, Chen Ting gave birth to three children, two sons and a daughter, which was very complete.
Zhang Yimou can be described as a winner in life, and also bought a villa for Chen Ting.
And Chen Ting seemed to complete the task, Zhang Yimou finally had the idea of marriage, and promised his father-in-law and mother-in-law that the conditions would be completed.
Since falling in love with Zhang Yimou, Chen Ting has been waiting for this day, she is very excited, and immediately becomes Mrs. Zhang.
In 2011, when their youngest daughter was 5 years old, Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting received a license.
Then again, Chen Ting can marry Zhang Yimou, really withstand the pressure, not only the outside world, but also the family.
Although Chen Ting's parents agree, there is still a difficulty, zhang Yimou's mother.
Zhang Yimou's mother has always been particularly fond of Zhang Yimou's ex-wife Xiao Hua, and she is not satisfied with the girlfriend her son talks about.
Even if Chen Ting gave birth to so many children, the old woman was also opposed. Zhang Yimou has grown up, and he has the final say in his own affairs and has not listened to his mother's words.
He believed that his mother would accept Chen Ting and would untie the knot sooner or later. And Chen Ting also wants to ease the relationship between her mother-in-law.
After getting married, Zhang Yimou officially took Chen Ting home to see his mother.
Zhang Yimou's mother did not refuse and entertained the two, but was polite to Chen Ting, like an outsider, and gave her a trip.
Mother Zhang told her son to eat, but not Chen Ting. She naturally knew what was going on in her heart, but she put up with it.
On the way back, Chen Ting had been unhappy, and Zhang Yimou quickly coaxed him to tell him to wrap it around me.
When Zhang Yimou went home to see his mother, he would inadvertently mention Chen Ting's goodness in front of him, taking care of the family, and taking care of the children.
There are many good words, Zhang Yimou's mother is not very disgusted with Chen Ting.
Without stopping, Zhang Yimou decided to take his elderly mother home and live with Chen Ting.
Chen Ting was very supportive of her husband's decision and took the opportunity to quickly capture her mother-in-law's heart.
However, Zhang Yimou's mother did not want to live with them and refused the request.
Chen Ting was not reconciled, and planned to use the child to pick up her mother-in-law and go home.
She told the children about the task in advance, invited Grandma to live with us, and did not agree to it. The three children took this sentence to heart.
Chen Ting sent the child over and left, and the rest was handed over to the child. Mother Zhang was very happy and played with her grandchildren.
At this moment, Zhang Yinan, as an older brother, began to speak, hoping that Grandma would live with us.
Mother Zhang instantly reacted to what happened and refused, and as a result, the grandson and granddaughter began to spoil, could not bear to reject the cute children, and agreed to move in with them.
The three children jumped up happily.
Zhang Yimou was very pleased, which was one of the reasons for marrying Chen Ting.
After living together, Chen Ting gave the old lady the best room in the house.
Because the mother-in-law is old and pays special attention to eating, Chen Ting cooks for her mother-in-law every day according to the recipes eaten by the elderly.
What the mother-in-law wants to eat, Chen Ting will do what she wants, and take her mother-in-law for a walk when she is finished.
Neighbors are envious of Zhang Mu's such a good daughter-in-law, she tried to accept Chen Ting, found that she treated herself as a biological mother, and loved herself more.
When her mother-in-law was sick and hospitalized, Zhang Yimou could not go back because of work, Chen Ting took her mother-in-law to the hospital, ran up and down alone, and took care of her at the bedside.
All she did was seen by her mother-in-law, which impressed Zhang Yimou's mother and truly accepted her.
Zhang Yimou's mother called Chen Ting to her side that day and gave her the bracelet that she had worn for a long time.
Chen Ting was very shocked, and carefully took it and put it on her hand, which meant that she really became the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.
With the passage of time, the old lady's body was not as good as a day, but Chen Ting took care of it for a day in the world, and finally left the world.
After the mother-in-law's affairs, Chen Ting personally handled and sent the last journey.
Zhang Yimou does not need to take care of many things at home, such as the education of children.
Since the children went to school, It has been Chen Ting picking up and dropping off the children, and the classmates all think that Zhang Yinan has no father and often "bully" him.
Later, Zhang Yinan also understood his parents, and also went to his father's crew to visit the class, followed his father to learn to shoot, and it was possible for his son to inherit his father's business when he grew up.
However, Zhang Yimou's eldest daughter, Zhang Mo, has become an excellent female director.
Zhang Mo studied directing abroad, became a director after graduation, and also met a loved one who got married, but unfortunately eventually separated.
Chen Ting, as a stepmother, sent care and comforted Zhang Mo.
After Zhang Mo returned to China, Chen Ting asked Zhang Yimou to take more care of her daughter, whether it was work or life, if you needed to go quickly.
afterward. Zhang Mo completed his own work, and Chen Ting took the child to the scene to support. She also told her child that she would be as good as her sister in the future.
Career success, Zhang Mo once again ushered in love, this time Chen Ting told her to think twice, emotional problems can go to ask her.
Under the supervision of Chen Ting, Zhang Mo married her boyfriend.
After marriage, Chen Ting was not very assured, and often organized two family gatherings, and a large family was happy together.
An unpromising, difficult and dangerous relationship, Chen Ting drew a perfect end with practical actions and became Zhang Yimou's inner helper.
All this is because she loves Zhang Yimou, and to love him is to love everything he has and accept everything, because love can overcome all difficulties.
Chen Ting's love is admirable.
Love sublimates the longing of the human heart to the state of perfection!
