In 1982, when the 9-year-old Hong Kong sister Cai Shaofen followed her mother around to hide debts, Zhang Jin, an 8-year-old Chongqing boy, watched the movie "Shaolin Temple" and always thought about having a discussion with Jet Li, and did not expect to have something to do with the Hong Kong sister in the future.
Zhang Jin's family is general, he wants to learn martial arts, his parents are under great pressure, under consideration, finally sent him to the Jiangbei District Martial Arts Team. The coach in the team was fierce and fierce, Zhang Jin's body flexibility was not enough, and he was pulled alive and injured his thigh...
Fortunately, he was talented and willing to endure hardships, and in just two years, he was promoted from the district martial arts team to the municipal martial arts team, and finally entered the Sichuan Provincial Martial Arts Team to practice.
Father Zhang stared at his son, revealing two rows of white teeth, and the boy who rolled in the mud in the mountains finally got the city hukou.
This year, Wu Jing, who was the same age as Zhang Jin, had been practicing for 5 years at the famous Shichahai Sports School, and his ancestors were manchu Qingzheng white flags, and he had produced several generations of Wu Zhuangyuan.
When Zhang Jin followed his master to the south and north to play the game, he always had a "narrow road" with Wu Jing, and the two grabbed gold and silver on the field, which can be called a friendship of "from small to large".
Zhang Jin and Wu Jing were inseparable and fought for several years. Cai Shaofen in Hong Kong was baptized by the years and quietly grew into a big beauty.
Cai Mu looked at her daughter who was charming and fleur-de-lis, and the abacus crackled, and she encouraged her daughter to participate in the supermodel competition, dreaming that she would fly up the branches and satisfy her bottomless pit of gambling...
Unfortunately, 15-year-old Cai Shaofen is still very young, still a flower bone with buds to be released, and has not won back any awards, and naturally did not attract Zhang Jin's attention.
However, 14-year-old Wu Jing, with his geographical advantage, joined the Beijing Wushu Team in 1989 and became his proud protégé under Wu Bin.
This Wu Bin, not only strong in martial arts, but also famous, he is the "gold medal coach" in the martial arts world, and he is also the master of superstar Jet Li and Zhen Zidan.
At this time, 15-year-old Zhang Jin and Wu Jing seemed to have played a draw in the field, but in fact, the gap outside the field has pulled out the "heavenly barrier gap", laying the groundwork for the different directions of the two in the future.
Two
Zhang Jin in his youth, because he was far away from his parents, could only go home for 20 days a year, and his personality became more introverted and silent. Fortunately, he looks beautiful and is very favored by girls, and the peach blossom luck has been one after another, which has finally soothed the martial arts career of bitter haha.
There are more friends, and naturally there are more opportunities.
Once, inspired by a female friend, Zhang Jin signed up for the "First Idol Imitation Competition in Sichuan Province", singing and dancing completely amateur, he was really as "astrological" as this girlfriend said, and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Zhang Jin couldn't believe it, and felt that the vague dream of martial arts stars seemed to be waving to himself kindly...
Zhang Jin is still daydreaming, and Cai Shaofen, who is eighteen years old, has taken off the third place of "Hong Kong Sister", and the film is surging forward.
A few years later, 21-year-old Wu Jing was also smashed by a succession of "big cakes".
Zhang Xinyan and Yuan Heping, who praised Jet Li, found Wu Bin and asked him to recommend good seedlings, 21-year-old Wu Jing took advantage of the momentum, debuted as the male protagonist, partnered with the popular actress Zhong Liti, starred in "Kung Fu Kid Breaks through the Pass".
3 years later, Wu Jing starred in the "Tai Chi Master" directed by the two, and by the way, he and the 27-year-old heroine Fan Yimin faked and really, and talked about a love affair with the wind and snow.
At this time, Zhang Jin, who was far away in Sichuan, was facing the problem of retiring, and he was strong in martial arts, and he had already emulated his idol Jet Li and won the title of the industry's highest honor, "Wuying-level" athlete, but he did not want to stay in the team as a martial arts instructor.
He also did not want to "go back to his hometown to take the public security examination" as his parents said, but followed a master brother who was a martial arts instructor, and a fierce son plunged into the unfathomable entertainment circle.
The entertainment industry says that big is also big, small is also small, and the former "old opponents" will soon be reunited for a long time, but it is extremely embarrassing to see each other.
Three
This year, Yuan Heping filmed "New Shaolin Temple", Wu Jing was still the male protagonist of the royal family, and Zhang Jin gave the female N as a stand-in.
Zhang Jin, a martial arts champion, wore a very smelly extra dress and stood in a distant place to fight... Because in the close-up, there are two heavier stand-ins playing.
Zhang Jin was very depressed in his heart: What is the use of trying harder? Can anyone see it?
Unexpectedly, during the lunch meal, there was really an assistant director who came over and said, "Boy is good, someone will always see such a performance." ”
Zhang Jin, who worked hard, made great strides and finally got the stand-in role of the protagonist, in the "Little Li Flying Knife" directed by Yuan Heping, he and the "old rival" Wu Jing had a rival play.
However, Wu Jing shot on behalf of Wu Jing, and Zhang Jin was Jiao Enjun's stand-in.
Decathlon, unisex Zhang Jin, but no job, but also by the way to the heroine Jia Jingwen, also as a stand-in.
At the same time, Zhang Jin, who did not dare to dream of becoming a passerby A and was very happy to be a passerby B, finally ran back to the dragon set and played a small who received a box lunch as soon as he appeared.
This time, Yuan Heping, who was known as the "Eighth Master" in the circle, finally saw Zhang Jin, included him under his command, and became a member of the "Yuan Family Class".
The next year, Zhang Jin followed Yuan Heping to the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew as a martial arts instructor, and formed a deep friendship with a female star...
Four
That year, Zhang Ziyi was twenty years old, still an unknown newcomer, substitute Shu Qi became the heroine, and director Ang Lee was not optimistic about her.
Zhang Ziyi was very anxious in her heart and desperately practiced playing, but she was a newcomer and would not do anything...
The Wuxing brothers looked at her words and estimated that she would soon get out of the egg, and they did not want to see her, only Zhang Jin was pure and kind, enthusiastically teaching her.
In addition, Zhou Runfa, who is already a "big name", also asked Zhang Jin to teach himself taijiquan.
After the play, Fa Ge also deliberately found Zhang Jin and gave him a set of autographed sportswear, which read: "To Teacher Zhang Jin, student Zhou Runfa."
Because he could not wash it, Zhang Jin did not wear this set of clothes once, and could only hang at home and silently admire...
At that time, Zhang Jin's desire to become an actor became more and more violent. But he couldn't wipe his face, he didn't know how to ask Brother Fa to take himself, nor did he ask Ang Lee if he could give a small role, or even reveal a little wind to the "Eighth Master" Yuan Heping.
A year later, the 26-year-old Zhang Jin joined Zhou Yi Film and Television, playing the little heel "donkey egg" in "The History of Wulin".
On the other side, Cai Shaofen is a double harvest of love career, not only won the TVB "after-view", but also drunk in Wu Qilong's gentle township when filming "Return My Love".
However, the two are both scenery in front of people, and after people shoot for the huge debts of the family, a pair of "mandarin ducks with bitter fate", hugging together to warm up and licking each other's wounds (for details, see Wan Xiaodao's past selection of "Cai Shaofen's Change of Life Against the Wind").
In 2001, Zhou Yi Film and Television began to shoot "Xiao Shiyilang", the male protagonist is Wu Qilong, the female protagonist is Zhu Yin, and Zhang Jin also found a villain role "Snow Eagle" in it.
Cai Shaofen went to visit her boyfriend and girlfriend's class, and when she was not careful, she left an extraordinary magical impression on Zhang Jin.
Five
At that time, in order to repay the debt for her mother, Cai Shaofen not only committed herself to Liu Luanxiong, but also filmed day and night, but her mother intensified and kept gambling on debts.
Cai Shaofen, who once wanted to live lightly, could only seek emotional comfort in religion, so she firmly believed in Christianity and devoted herself to evangelizing people.
As soon as they met, Cai Shaofen asked Zhang Jin headlessly, "Do you know where I will go in the future?" Zhang Jin looked confused, not knowing what she was talking about...
Cai Shaofen said, "I disappeared in a whimper, of course I went to heaven." ”
Zhang Jin only felt that this goddess was nagging and did not make any sparks.
However, Wu Qilong, under the eyes of his girlfriend's girlfriend, seems to have rubbed something with the female number two Mayashu, and the scandal is boiling (for details, see Wan Xiaodao's past selection of "The Harem of the Fourth Master" Wu Qilong").
Cai Shaofen is atmospheric, saying that feelings are a matter of two people, not related to a third party, and she and Wu Qilong are still friends after breaking up.
In 2001, Zhang Ziyi, who took Zhang Yimou's fast lane, repaid Zhang Jin with peach and recommended him to serve as a stand-in for Zhen Zidan in Zhang's blockbuster film "Hero".
Zhang Jin and Jet Li performed the "opponent play", and also designed many wonderful martial arts moves for jet Li and Zhen Zidan's duel in the rain.
The Hollywood director heard the news and invited him to serve as a martial arts instructor for "Thunderbolt Baby 2" and "Night Devil", and to teach "kung fu" to international superstars.
During this period, Zhang Jin also shot advertisements for the Los Angeles Times, broadcast channels throughout the major theaters in Los Angeles, showing the charm of Chinese martial arts on the screen, Zhang Jin, walking on the street, will also be enthusiastically asked for autographs by foreigners.
However, Zhang Jinwan did not expect that the small appearance in Hollywood, completely unknown in China, he is still a "nameless rat", and he was accidentally labeled as the "Soft Rice King"...
Six
The 29-year-old Zhang Jin returned to the company from the United States and joined the crew of "Water Moon Cave Day", and did not catch any good roles.
This drama is popular all over the country, but playing a small supporting role with only 10-year-old intelligence, Zhang Jin is still a red person who is not popular, and he still "can't check this person" in the circle.
Lost in the east, harvested in mulberry elm. After years of wrestling in Wuxing, as the only man in the group who could speak Cantonese, Zhang Jin attracted the attention of two Hong Kong actresses.
At that time, Zhang Jin, who had an introverted personality, always sat alone in the corner, twisting his eyebrows, rarely smiling, Chen Farong and Cai Shaofen said painfully: "He has a lock on his brow, so I hope someone will untie it for him..."
But Chen Farong is already lacking in skill, and the male number two Yang Junyi has been entangled in the end of the world, and this arduous task can only be handed over to "girlfriend" Cai Shaofen...
Once, everyone watched the DVD together, Zhang Jin's stomach screamed, he muttered "good hungry", intimate Cai Shaofen, really played his specialty below to give him food.
Zhang Jin was moved to tears, and the ghost made God fall in love: "How good would it be if this were my girlfriend..."
At that time, Zhang Jin, because he could not only be a translator, but also a bodyguard, and could also be a coolie, was often pulled by Cai and Chen to accompany him to the shopping, and everyone became a "good brother".
But Zhang Jin's spring heart was surging and he really wanted to sublimate the "great friendship", so he drank wine and confessed, but was rejected. Confess again, still rejected.
Until a beautiful woman suddenly "inserted a bar horizontally", it made things become dark and bright.
Seven
During filming, the girlfriend of a male actor of the crew came to visit the class, because the male actor had an affair, could not accompany, including Zhang Jin, a group of friends were very powerful, accompanied by girls shopping, watching DVDs, making Cai Shaofen jealous.
Zhang Jin looked at Cai Shaofen's small face that was angry to the point of redness, knowing that the opportunity could not be lost and the time would not come again, and quickly launched a fierce attack: "Then can you shoot and drag love now?" ”
"Don't."
"Let's try it..."
After some refusal, Cai Shaofen finally nodded, but she actually made three requests: "You can't hold hands, you can't kiss( kiss), you can't make it public." ”
That said, being a brother can still put on a shoulder, what is this trouble? Leave her alone, agree first and then say!
After that, the two embraced and held high, as if they had crossed the boundary, and as if they had not crossed the line... It's all in plain sight.
Once, Zhang Jin played with Cai Shaofen, accidentally broke his finger, Cai Shaofen accompanied him to run before and after, the feelings of the two heated up sharply in the tribulation, such as the volcano that had been sleeping for many years suddenly erupted, and it could not be hidden immediately...
Sure enough, the Hong Kong media quickly photographed them having dinner together, and their faces were full of deep affection.
With the lessons of Wu Qilong's past, Cai Shaofen resolutely did not disclose her relationship, but the media had long been tacit, and also ridiculed Zhou Ping, the boss of Zhou Yi Film: "Let Cai Shaofen lose a Wu Qilong, and now she has a Zhang Jin."
But who is this Zhang Jin? It took a lot of effort for the Hong Kong media to figure it out, because Zhang Jin was so mushy at the time...
The following year, Cai Shaofen and Wu Qihua co-starred in the Hong Kong drama "The Legend of Chivalrous Doctor". It is said that Cai Shaofen, in order to get along with Ai Lang day and night, constantly lobbied the crew to use her boyfriend, and Zhang Jin got a small role.
In the film, Cai Shaofen and Wu Qihua's bed scene is quite large, the crew is worried that Zhang Jin is jealous, taking advantage of the fact that the legitimate boyfriend is still starting work in Qingdao in the future, and first performs the trilogy of kissing neck and picking love, kissing each other and so on...
The little couple who are in love is naturally not affected by the plot, and Sweet Honey joins hands to travel to Laoshan Mountain.
However, Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen are very famous, and the Hong Kong media, who has always been mean, mocked him for "eating soft rice for women". It is a good face for men, and Zhang Jin is under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, Cai Shaofen did not think so, and always looked at Zhang Jin with a confused face, seeing that he was oblivious and forgot all his troubles...
Eight
In 2005, the 31-year-old Zhang Jin decided to fight for love, leaving Zhou Yi Film and Television to find another opportunity.
Cai Shaofen drove him and ran around to hand over his resume, but the director saw that he was not from a science class, and his profession could not be beaten, and he did not even give an audition opportunity.
Zhang Jin, who can only mix with some rogues, thieves, and thugs, once again picked up the old line of martial arts, where the danger rushed to where, fame and fortune are far away from him, even the class that wants to explore Cai Shaofen can't pay for the ticket...
The ridicule of the "Soft Rice King" was incessant, and his career did not improve, Zhang Jin was once extremely depressed, and yelled at Cai Shaofen: "What is the use of only you appreciating me?" ”
Cai Shaofen has lacked love since childhood, the more she is not loved, the more she knows the preciousness of love, always accompanied by Zhang Jin's side, never abandoned.
Not only does Zhang Jin practice martial arts, but also strives to understand the cultural meaning behind the moves, and gradually cultivates an open-minded and ordinary heart...
In 2008, 34-year-old Zhang Jin and 35-year-old Cai Shaofen entered the marriage hall.
Everything in the wedding from Jane, only cost more than 10,000 yuan, wireless artists gathered, starlight comparable to Taiqing, each guest held an umbrella, symbolizing the wedding protagonist "wind and rain on the same road".
Looking at Cai Shaofen, who was wearing a wedding dress, she walked slowly, and Zhang Jin, who had an introverted personality, cried for the first time in her life that she could not help herself.
He said: "We will use our love to fight off all bad sounds." ”
There are rumors that because the two believe in Christianity and abide by the principle of "no adultery", they stopped for a long time in the "drought" for 4 years, and did not cross the red line until the night of the cave flower candle. But oh, the credibility of the rumors is geometric, then it is a matter of opinion.
It was not easy to break through the barriers, and the plan to create people was put on the agenda in an intense manner, and Cai Shaofen even said that he wanted to give birth to four!
After the twists and turns of miscarriage, Zhang Jin's career ushered in a breakthrough first.
In 2009, Wong Kar-wai began filming "A Generation of Grandmasters", requiring supporting actor Ma San to be "born with a face, know martial arts, and be able to act", and "Eight Masters" Yuan Heping recommended Zhang Jin to star.
Although "Ma San" only has five scenes, Zhang Jin spent two years to integrate with the role, and after the scene was filmed, even wong Kar-wai, who has always been harsh, applauded him.
Zhang Jin said to him, "Thank you. Wong Kar-wai replied: "No, thank you, if the play is not good, I will not use you to the end."
In 2011, Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen finally welcomed their daughter Zhang Chu'er, and old friend Zhang Ziyi came to visit.
At that time, the 37-year-old Zhang Jin did not know that fate would not treat anyone badly, and that the generous gift that belonged to him was late but arrived.
Nine
In 2013, "A Generation of Grandmasters" was released, and the 39-year-old Zhang Jin won the "Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor" in one fell swoop.
Standing on the podium, he said with a loud voice:
"I am Zhang Jin, and my wife is Cai Shaofen." Some people say I'll depend on her for the rest of my life. Yes, my happiness in this life depends on her. I thank her for accompanying me through all the hardships..."
He still remembers their wedding vows and reiterates them in public:
"When we got married, we said we were going to go the same way. Now that the wind and rain have come, I hope that there will be more scenery in the future, and we will go on the same road together. ”
Cai Shaofen sat in the audience, already crying into tears.
Zhang Jin, who became famous overnight, flew like snowflakes, but in the long years of tempering, he had already cultivated a strong heart, not to be happy with things, not to be sad with himself.
Cai Shaofen said: "He is a very down-to-earth person, even if he wins the Academy Award, the next day he will still resume normal life, he should pick up the child, and he should work." ”
In the same year, the second daughter of the two, Zhang Xin'er, was born, a family of four, and they were happy and harmonious.
In Hong Kong, which is quite patriarchal, many people ask Cai Shaofen: "Why don't you give birth to a man for your husband?" The husband himself said: "I don't need a man, you give birth to a woman, I am happy." ”
In 2015, Zhang Jin met with his "old rival" Wu Jing in "Kill the Wolf 2", and interpreted the fierce "Sven scum" to the fullest.
He switches freely in Thai, English, Korean and Cantonese, fights like clouds and water, and his suits are not chaotic, and he is known as a "suit thug" by fans.
Wu Jing and Tony Jia, two major Chinese and foreign stars, have been robbed of the limelight by Zhang Jin. Wu Jing was fiercely "repaired" and sighed: No matter how high the box office of "Wolf Warrior" is, "Kill the Wolf 2" is the most memorable movie of his life...
From "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "A Generation of Grandmasters", from Zhang Ziyi's stand-in to his opponent, Zhang Jin has been gone for 13 years.
From "New Shaolin Temple" to "Kill the Wolf 2", from the nameless stand-in on the screen to the fight with Wu Jing, Zhang Jin spent a full 16 years.
He said: "There has been a trend of being an actor in the martial arts world, the first is Jet Li, the second is Zhao Wenzhuo, the third is Wu Jing, and the fourth - no! ”
Since he has no fate to become such a person, what does it matter if he starts from the lowest?
Fortunately, applause and flowers will always come, and fate will not fail the dreamers who work hard.
In 2019, 46-year-old Cai Shaofen became pregnant unexpectedly. She chose to be born, Zhang Jin accompanied the whole process, and personally cut the umbilical cord for her son Zhang Le'er. Cai Shaofen, who finished production, was excited to share the good news when he signed the wrong account...
It turns out that there is always someone in life who will make you willingly bear it all.
Just like Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen, who have been on the same road for 18 years, have experienced so many cold eyes, but they have always clasped their fingers together, spent the peaks and valleys of life together, and boiled all the ridicule into blessings. This is reminiscent of the saying:
If the Scythians are rainbows, they know that there is a party.
