Among the fifth generation of directors in China, most of them shoot movies and fewer TV series.
And focusing on only filming TV series, only You Xiaogang is the only one who does not make movies.
The former "Secret History of Xiaozhuang" and "The Secret History of Yang Guifei" have become classic works,
The Secret History series has also become the symbol of You Xiaogang.
And this extremely talented, can write the director has experienced two marriages behind the scenes,
One ex-wife is the well-known host Tian Ge, and the other is Wu Qianqian, who has appeared in his plays many times.
And You Xiaogang's latest girlfriend is Zhou Tingyi, who is thirty years younger.
In 1952, You Xiaogang was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
When I was a child, I had a dream of becoming a soldier, so I was admitted to the Xuzhou Cultural and Labor Troupe in Anhui Province.
And here I met my first wife, Tian Ge.
Tian Ge is ten years younger than You Xiaogang and is a native of Hefei, Anhui Province.
She was originally born in an art family, her father was the director of the museum,
The mother is a composer, and there are four children in the family,
Tian Ge is the eldest daughter, with two younger sisters and a younger brother.
However, during the special period, Tian Ge's father unfortunately died.
The burden of the family all fell on the mother.
The sensible Tian Ge took the initiative to give up his studies and was admitted to the Xuzhou Literary and Labor Troupe at the age of 15.
When she started earning a salary to support her family, she only had 12 yuan a month.
He only kept two pieces, and the rest was given to his mother.
You Xiaogang was originally an actor when he was in the literary troupe, but he soon showed his talent as a choreographer.
In 1979, the drama "General Ye Ting" written and directed by him won several awards.
In 1982, he produced his first TV series "Falcon", and Tian Ge was also an actor in this drama.
During his time in the Literary troupe, most of You Xiaogang's works were military themes.
In 1984, the troupe decided to send You Xiaogang to the Beijing Film Academy for further study.
At that time, he had just fallen in love with Tian Ge, and the two began a long-distance relationship.
The two people in love are in love, and You Xiaogang said that Tian Ge is the most beautiful woman in Xuzhou.
Every time she misses Tian Ge, he sends her a telegram,
And there are only three words on the telegram, I love you, very romantic.
Soon the two of them reached the point of talking about marriage,
Tian Ge told You Xiaogang about his family situation, and his younger siblings needed to be taken care of.
Even after marriage, the salary must be subsidized by the mother's family.
You Xiaogang showed the demeanor that a man should have, saying that he did not mind at all,
The two married in 1985.
After marriage, Tian Ge also actively improved himself and was admitted to the Beijing Broadcasting Institute.
Her younger sister Tian Min was admitted to the theater to study acting, and when she came to Beijing to develop, she lived in her living room.
You Xiaogang quickly accumulated contacts in the Beijing circle in Nortel,
He and Sun Zhou are classmates, and the previous senior was Han Sanping.
The next batch of students has Wang Xiaoshuai, and the mid-1980s is the time when the fifth generation of directors broke out.
Among them, only You Xiaogang has focused on the road of shooting TV series.
In 1984, you Xiaogang, who had just arrived in Beijing, met Feng Xiaogang.
Then I got to know Wang Shuo, and then I naturally began to remake Wang Shuo's works.
It was also the first love drama he directed, "Air Hostess".
At this time, although You Xiaogang had just entered the Beijing circle, he was already the director of the Feitian Award.
Soon mixed with fame, although the little sister-in-law Tian Min starred in his works,
However, in 1991, he starred in "The Story of the Editorial Department" written by Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo.
This drama is the first sitcom in China, and it is also a hit drama of the year.
The fledgling Tian Min has also received attention because of this, which is probably the recommendation of his brother-in-law.
At the same time, Tian Ge also graduated from the Broadcasting Academy to become a host,
And showed outstanding talent in her work, in 1990 she founded "Screen Connects You and Me",
This is the first talk talk show in China, and since then she has been active on the screen as a program host.
Compared with You Xiaogang, who has been behind the scenes, his wife Tian Ge is more famous.
However, due to Tian Ge's career getting better and better,
Their marriage changed from the original male and female protagonists to both of them busy,
In the past, the two worked together on dramas and TV series, and often worked together.
Now the two not only have no time to live at home, but also have no time to have children.
At that time, Tian Ge had a fixed host program on the TV station, and often hosted major literary and art evenings.
At the same time, he often flew to various countries in the world to interview important people.
She was the first Chinese host invited by the U.S. Information Service.
During this period, You Xiaogang continued to make excellent works, especially the works of military themes won numerous awards.
"Triumph in the Midnight" won the Golden Eagle Award and the Flying Sky Award,
Works such as "Frenzy" and "Song of Sorrow" have won the Outstanding TV Series Award.
You Xiaogang, who can choreograph and direct, has already occupied a place in the domestic film and television circle with his high-yield and high-quality works.
Once in 95 years, Tian Ge also wanted to stop working and have children, and have a complete home.
But at this time, the scandal between You Xiaogang and Wu Qianqian spread.
In 1994, You Xiaogang filmed "Kyoto Chronicle", wu Qianqian is the heroine,
Born in Hangzhou, she has the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman, and there is also a heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
Thin in stature, but loving fitness, she exudes a healthy beauty.
Wu Qianqian also graduated from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute and once worked as an actress in the Armed Police Cultural and Labor Troupe.
You Xiaogang, who has a military complex, likes Wu Qianqian more.
You Xiaogang's requirements for actors are very high,
He once said that even actors like Feng Yuanzheng and Song Dandan, who are very mature in drama,
He can't get past it without taking out 12 points of strength.
You Xiaogang often scolded the staff when he lost his temper at the scene, scaring everyone into endangering themselves.
But he never scolded the actors, and often encouraged and inspired the actors.
Sometimes they will also go to the battlefield to do demonstrations in person.
In the process of filming, You Xiaogang and Wu Qianqian became increasingly close, and slowly came together,
It almost became an open secret for the whole group, and Tian Ge was the last person to know about it.
Tian Ge is a person who absolutely does not tolerate sand in her eyes, and she immediately filed for divorce.
And put all your energy into the work,
Later, she also directed and hosted the 'Central-South China Diplomatic Relations Establishment Gala' in South Africa.
Produced a series of large-scale talk shows and won numerous awards.
Since 2008, Tian Ge's "Glorious Bloom" has become the most iconic interview column.
Thousands of celebrities have been interviewed so far.
It is said that You Xiaogang once confessed to Tian Ge, saying that he was confused for a while.
He still loves Tian Ge and asks for her forgiveness,
However, Tian Ge, who had already made up his mind, still divorced fiercely.
After You Xiaogang and Tian Ge divorced, they and Wu Qianqian walked into the palace of marriage.
The two are still busy with work, and the couple has cooperated in many TV series.
It also makes Wu Qianqian a little famous in the circle.
And You Xiaogang's most well-known work has to mention the "Secret History of Xiaozhuang",
This drama created the Youshi Secret History series and also created the peak of Qing Palace drama.
This drama was originally a TV series directed by Taiwanese actor Liu Dekai,
He was very satisfied with the script after he got it, and even the actors had already thought about it.
However, no investment was found.
At that time, Taiwan's film and television industry had begun to decline, and many Taiwanese actors had gone to the mainland to develop.
Many Taiwanese production companies have co-produced TV dramas with the mainland.
In 2000, Liu Dekai and You Xiaogang once cooperated in a TV series "Desire".
The two also became friends, and Liu Dekai gave him the script.
At that time, You Xiaogang was not very satisfied after reading the script, and asked to revise the script.
But you can let yourself invest in the North China Film and Television Company,
At that time, You Xiaogang was the chairman of this company and had transformed from a director to an investor.
Liu Dekai finally agreed to the request to revise the script,
But it is proposed that the male and female protagonists must be played by Ma Jingtao and Tranquility.
Originally, a year ago, Liu Dekai found Tranquility and asked her to play Dayu'er,
At that time, the two were not familiar, and Liu Dekai also specially invited Tranquility to eat ice cream.
However, after reading the script, Serenity felt that she had too many scenes,
She has her in almost every episode, from girl to twilight, unwilling to appear in the show.
As a result, Liu Dekai failed to pull the investment and shelved,
A year has passed since You Xiaogang called her again.
But at that time, it was quiet in the United States, so the crew waited for her for another year.
Two years had passed since the time when the Secret History of Xiaozhuang invited Tranquility for the third time.
At that time, Tranquility was already a very well-known actor in China, with masterpieces and acting skills.
At the same time, full of personality, she saw that the crew was so sincere and demoted herself to the group,
But then the show caught fire, and her salary doubled again.
And the male protagonist Ma Jingtao is a well-known Qiong Yao opera actor,
Known for its roaring acting skills, it is not recognized in the mainland film and television market.
Many viewers thought his performance was too pompous.
Before setting up Ma Jingtao, You Xiaogang had not seen his play,
The two met at dinner, and both like to have dogs.
He talked about dogs one night, and later went to the hotel to see Ma Jingtao's dog.
The drama "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" thus set the tranquility and Ma Jingtao,
These two grumpy actors often quarreled at first, not giving in to each other,
It was often You Xiaogang who mediated from it, and later the two formed a tacit understanding.
Liu Dekai and Wu Qianqian also played important roles in this drama,
Liu Dekai plays Huang Taiji, and Wu Qianqian plays Empress Zhezhe,
She is both the wife of Huang Taiji and the aunt of Da Yu'er.
This "Secret History of Filial Piety" can be called an insurmountable classic,
The emotional entanglement of three generations, as well as the change of dynasty and the seizure of power by the royal family,
The feelings that Da Yu'er and Dorgon love but can't love are even more heart-wrenching.
This drama brought a lot of actors to the fire, and Serenity won two best actress trophies,
Child star Shu Chang also has a representative work with this drama, and even the theme song "You" has also caught fire,
That year, "The Secret History of Filial Piety" overshadowed all the dramas and won all the TV drama awards.
It is precisely because of the success of this drama that You Xiao just had the secret history series after that,
Ma Jingtao later starred in "The Secret History of the Crown Prince" and "The Secret History of Taizu",
It is a pity that none of the later works can surpass the "Secret History of Xiaozhuang".
You Xiaogang's career ushered in the peak, Wu Qianqian has also been filming in the crew,
The difference between the two is only three years old, one is 42 years old and the other is 39 years old when they met.
The optimal age for childbearing has been missed and has not had children since marriage.
But Wu Qianqian's brother and wife divorced very early,
She took her niece Wu Jingjing with her as a daughter to raise.
When the two of them got married, Wu Jingjing was only four years old.
You Xiaogang also said to the outside world that Jingjing was their daughter.
Wu Jingjing was influenced by his aunt and uncle and also liked to perform,
At that time, she applied for Nortel and Chinese opera, but You Xiaogang chose the very remote Nanguang College of the Media University for her.
Let her study acting with peace of mind, and at the age of 17, she tested the waters to star in the first TV series "The Big Unsolved Case".
Soon after, You Xiaogang prepared the TV series "The Secret History of Yang Guifei",
Wu Jingjing also played a small role named Chun'er in it.
Playing Yang Guifei is Yin Tao, this drama is also after the "Secret History of Xiaozhuang",
Another work of word-of-mouth and ratings.
When Wu Jingjing had just graduated, You Xiaogang was preparing the "Secret History of Xi Shi".
The male protagonist of this drama is still Ma Jingtao, and at that time, a huge national audition for female protagonists was also held.
In the end, Wu Jingjing became the first place without any accident and got the role of Xi Shi,
However, this drama did not make Wu Jingjing popular, but made You Xiaogang fall in love with another woman.
Zhou Tingyi, who played the queen chundi of King Wu in "The Secret History of Xi Shi", was originally a host,
He met You Xiaogang in a talk show and was invited by the other party to star in "The Secret History of Xi Shi".
Zhou Tingyi is 30 years younger than You Xiaogang, and successfully captured the heart of this talented and amorous director,
Soon after, the two spread a scandal.
It also started in 2012, when "The Secret History of Xi Shi" was broadcast,
Wu Qianqian and You Xiaogang separated, and Wu Jingjing had previously starred in a number of dramas directed by You Xiaogang.
I haven't starred in a film since 2012.
Until 2015, You Xiao just admitted to divorcing Wu Qianqian.
However, after the divorce, Wu Qianqian did not have a successful and dashing career like Tian Ge,
For many years, she has been filming with You Xiaogang, and the resources of the two have been greatly reduced after their divorce.
And her face has also become stiff due to excessive medical beauty, and she can no longer recognize the original appearance.
The newly ascended Zhou Tingyi began to appear frequently in You Xiaogang's works,
But the two did not marry and became well-known lovers.
You Xiaogang has just filmed a series of costume secret history dramas and then returned to the theme of military service again.
The Counter-Terrorism Task Force series is back to a high standard, with numerous awards.
In order to experience life, You Xiaogang also went to the special forces for seven months.
The weapons in the play are also real guns, although they are empty shells,
But when the shot is fired, mars still pops up.
Zhou Tingyi also played an important role in military dramas, but she did not have professional acting training.
He also has no experience in military life, and was initially not fully prepared for the role,
You Xiaogang also often personally helped her analyze the script and guide her acting skills.
In 2019, Zhou Tingyi won the Best Supporting Actress in a Macao DRAMA drama with "The Wolf of the Anti-Terrorist Special Forces".
It is also the only acting award she has received since she became an artist.
Today, the 69-year-old You Xiaogang is still working continuously,
Recently, he has often appeared on major variety shows as judges to comment on his acting skills.
Her little girlfriend Zhou Tingyi is also in the entertainment industry.
It's just that You Xiaogang, who has experienced a ten-year marriage and a seven-year marriage,
I don't know if Zhou Tingyi will be his end,
And whether Zhou Tingyi can become Mrs. You is also unknown.
