In an interview, the host asked Hou Yong such a tricky emotional question:
"If you have two friends who have succeeded in their careers, one who sticks to love and the other who changes love halfway through, who do you recognize more?"
Hou Yong said a meaningful sentence: "I admire the former and understand the latter." ”
This interview took place in 2013, and he had a successful career, divorced his wife and started his second marriage.
That is to say, he tried to do the former, but helplessly became the latter.
But his second marriage was not the end.
Since then, he has gone through another divorce and remarriage.
From "pig slayer" to "shadow emperor", Hou Yong gives people a righteous, iron man's screen image. No one could have imagined that such a positive and full character would have such a rich emotional experience.
The wife is getting younger and younger, and the third marriage at the age of 50 is married to the beautiful wife after 90, and Hou Yong is happier and happier the more he lives.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >01 From "pig killer" to art student</h1>
Hou Yong was born in 1967 in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, to an ordinary family.
The children of that era, influenced by the times, had a heroic complex in their bones.
Hou Yong, who has this kind of complex, thinks about how to act heroically every day.
To this end, he focused on martial arts and hoped to become a hero.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very bone. With a grand blueprint for life, he dropped out of school at the age of 16.
After dropping out of school, he worked as a sieve carbon worker and baked bread, but what he remembers most is the experience of selling meat.
Hou Yong was assigned to sell meat in the store department of the meat factory, and on the first day of selling meat, because he had no experience, he lost more than thirty pieces.
At that time, this money was a huge amount of money.
Hou Yong, who lost money, could only take a pile of discarded meat that had not been sold and go home to eat it himself.
The worst meat for his family to eat, he was particularly not a taste in his heart.
He secretly swore that he would sell the meat together with the good meat. And all this comes from the compulsion of life.
After months of grinding, he has done a good job in this line.
In that era of relative scarcity of materials, people's shopping was not like today.
At that time, Lianyungang sold supplies, and every household had to hold the household registration book and a few shopping coupons to buy what they wanted.
Hou Yong, who controlled the resources of the vice food coupon, was very angry. Although the power is not large, but the flamboyance is not small, which greatly satisfies his vanity.
Stepping into society very early, he saw clearly the social changes and knew how to settle down.
Coupled with strong business ability, he successfully became the deputy director of the workshop.
He has two business skills that no one can compare: one is the first speed of bone removal; the other is that the knife is particularly accurate, and he was given a nickname of "Hou Yi Knife" by his colleagues.
Whenever the technical competition, Hou Yong operates violently on the board, and can achieve "separation of flesh and bone" in 13 seconds. This record has been maintained in the meat factory for a long time.
At that time, Hou Yong didn't even speak Mandarin, and he never imagined that he would one day become an actor.
He did not expect that after he became famous, his emotional experience would become richer and richer, and the lovers he met would become younger and younger.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" >02 Shen Rong does not abandon</h1>
This is a very clichéd story.
In the big entertainment circle, there is no shortage of such artists. For example, Li Yapeng, who originally accompanied his girlfriend to the art school, he himself was also photographed by the art school teacher and was admitted to the Chinese opera acting class.
Hou Yong's metamorphosis was more or less the same.
Originally, he went to the exam with his friend, but the friend did not get in, but he got the notice of the Jiangsu Provincial Drama School.
After getting the notice, Hou Yong did not rush to leave the meat factory.
When he was struggling, the leaders of the meat factory helped him make a decision.
One morning, Hou Yong went to work.
Because it is three or four o'clock in the morning to work, it is easy to fall asleep by six or seven o'clock. Hou Yong, who couldn't stand it, hid in the locker room and slept for a while, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by the factory director and criticized it fiercely.
The more the factory director's words were spoken, the more difficult it became, and he was so anxious that he even scolded him and said anything ugly.
Hou Yong couldn't stand it, touched the admission letter in his pocket, and decisively chose to leave.
This year, Hou Yong was 21 years old.
Hou Yong, who was admitted to the art school, and Shen Rong, a girl from Xuzhou, were assigned to the same class.
At the end of the year, the class had to observe the performance, and Hou Yong and Shen Rong rehearsed the program together to increase their understanding of each other.
The two people who gradually became acquainted with each other often interacted professionally together, and in the process of mutual appreciation, they rose up to their good feelings for each other.
After graduation, Hou Yong was admitted to the Nanjing Military Region Repertory Theatre, and Shen Rong was assigned to the Nanjing Repertory Theatre.
Two people started their careers in different units, and the distance was obviously widened.
In 1992, when Hou Yong was still running the dragon set, Shen Rong had already won the "Feitian Award for Best Actress" for "Married Girl".
Shen Rong, who took off in her career, was transferred to the Pearl River Film Studio and successively filmed film and television dramas and dramas such as "Paul Kochakin", "The Story of The Double Bridge", and "Hotline".
Hou Yong was happy for Shen Rong on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was ashamed of himself for the sense of gap.
The buddies of the unit always like to joke with Hou Yong: "Your wife is so beautiful now, you should be careful, don't let her dump her." ”
A joke, Hou Yong's heart was unbalanced. He felt that love was like flying a kite, and there was a danger of disconnection at any time.
In order to "tie" Shen Rong, Hou Yong, who never did housework, learned to cook, stir-fry, clean, and wash clothes.
In 1993, Shen Rong went to other places to shoot dramas, and Hou Yong called Shen Rong at home: "You are busy filming, send back all the dirty clothes." ”
Shen Rong was afraid of being inappropriate, and Hou Yong explained, "What's inappropriate? Don't worry, I'll take my clothes to the laundromat to wash. ”
Hou Yong was willing to go to the laundromat, and every time he received the clothes sent back by Shen Rong, he took a large wooden barrel to the courtyard, took off his shoes and socks and washed them with his feet.
In the big winter, his feet were frozen red and swollen, and Shen Rong came back from filming to see the pain, and fell into Hou Yong's arms: "You are too good to me, take advantage of not filming, I will wait for you for a few days and repay you well." ”
Hou Yong looked at Shen Rong in his arms, as if holding the whole world: "I don't want to reciprocate, as long as you never leave me." ”
When Hou Yong said this, he must not have imagined that after he became famous, he would end his marriage with Shen Rong.
And Shen Rong, who snuggled in Hou Yong's arms and said "only be his wife", would not have thought that after her, Hou Yong had three more feelings and two marriages.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" >03 became famous in the company of Shen Rong</h1>
Because he was too afraid of losing Shen Rong, Hou Yong's spirit was tight like a string.
Shen Rong filmed, usually there are a lot of socializing, Hou Yong suspected that she had someone else.
For this reason, they quarreled and quarreled. But Shen Rong knew that Hou Yong did all this because he couldn't let go of her.
In 1997, Shen Rong solemnly talked to Hou Yong once.
Shen Rong held Hou Yong's hand:
"I love you very much and will always love you.
You have a lot of potential, and the reason why you run the dragon set is because you didn't wait for the opportunity. It's gold, it's always shining.
Opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared, and you must refuel. One day, you will surpass me. ”
Hou Yong was awakened by Shen Rong's words, he started from shaping the image of a soldier, and began to lose weight, and formulated a careful fitness plan.
Every day, he was too tired to get up, but as long as he thought of Shen Rong, he would immediately "resurrect with full blood".
In 2001, he finally waited for an opportunity.
Under the recommendation of Shen Rong, Hou Yong starred in "Sonic Boom Long Sky".
Recognized for his acting skills, he was selected by the director of "Rushing Out of the Amazon" to play the leading role in the film.
When receiving this film, Hou Yong was a little hesitant, because he received invitations from several other crews, all of which were the actor's plays, and the film remuneration was higher than "Rushing Out of the Amazon".
At Shen Rong's suggestion, Hou Yong once again starred as a soldier.
It turned out that Shen Rong was right.
Although the filming process was extremely difficult, he was covered in bruises after a scene was filmed. But for the sake of Shen Rong, he must persist.
He succeeded, and years of hard work finally paid off.
With this film, Hou Yong has won numerous awards.
On the podium, he did not forget to show love to his wife Shen Rong.
"Today, I was able to win the award, in addition to thanking my crew colleagues, but also to my wife.
Although she was not there, I am sure that she will hear me..."
It turned out that before receiving the award, in order to share the joy of winning the award with Shen Rong, Hou Yong dialed Shen Rong's mobile phone, and then handed the mobile phone to the friend next to him.
In 2004, the famous Hou Yong, his career reached another level, with the appearance of Chen Shouting in "The Great DyeIngFang",
Won the Actor Award for best performing arts at the 22nd China Television Golden Eagle Awards and the Actor Award for the Most Popular TV Series by the Audience;
The 24th China TV Drama Feitian Awards Outstanding Actor Awards three awards.
From "pig killer" to "Shadow Emperor", Hou Yong, accompanied by Shen Rong, finally became red.
To this end, Hou Yong has said many times: "It is my wife who has made me have today's glory, and she is my lifelong partner." ”
But the two people who once said that they would never break up could not compete with time and distance after all.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > 04 expands after becoming famous</h1>
In 2006, Hou Yong,who was full of dramas, continued to play, and CCTV alone broadcast his three major dramas "The Age of True Feelings", "General Chen Geng" and "Battlefield Soldiers".
Hou Yong played the positive image of "soldiers" and gradually built up word of mouth.
However, in reality, Hou Yong's personality is in contrast with the characters in the play, especially his feelings, which are becoming more and more chaotic.
In 2008, when Hou Yong filmed "Highland", he and Xing Yufei, who was 14 years younger than himself, polished the small spark of love.
It is pointed out that Hou Yong and Shen Rong divorced precisely because of Xing Yufei's intervention.
Hou Yong resolutely denied: "It is complete nonsense, Zhang Guan Li Dai." ”
Hou Yong's "Zhang Guan Li Dai" is indeed not false, because the media initially regarded Pan Yuchen as Xing Yufei.
For a time, the news that Xing Yufei was a "third party" spread wildly.
Xing Yufei, who has been rumored, first admitted to the relationship with Hou Yong for 3 years, and then denied that he was not the third party that caused Hou Yong's marriage to change.
Xing Yufei's words made Pan Yuchen look particularly embarrassed.
Since Xing Yufei is not a third party, how did Pan Yuchen intervene?
After Xing Yufei responded lightly to that past, she quietly withdrew.
Pan Yuchen married Hou Yong in a low-key manner and gave birth to a daughter.
Hou Yong's marriage with Pan Yuchen has aroused heated discussion among netizens.
Accompanied by his wife, the happiness is like yesterday. From school acquaintances, to acquaintances and love, combined when the two careers were very different, Hou Yong lingered in the flowers when he succeeded.
In this regard, Hou Yong, who became the target of public criticism, defended: "The old family is more traditional and attaches more importance to heirs. ”
Having no children and no daughters after marriage has become the main contradiction in letting go of Shen Rong.
But for Hou Yong's explanation, netizens did not buy it, because even if Pan Yuchen gave birth to a daughter, their marriage lasted less than two years and lit up with red lights.
When the reporter mentioned Pan Yuchen's name in front of Hou Yong, Hou Yong only said three words: "Don't mention her!" ”
When Pan Yuchen talked about Hou Yong, he almost had the same tone: "I don't want to talk about him (Hou Yong). ”
When Pan Yuchen said this, he had been alone with the child for a long time.
After the end of the second marriage, Hou Yong, who was not willing to be lonely, continued to write his colorful love history with actions.
In 2016, Hou Yong was photographed meeting with a mysterious young woman.
The reporter tracked down and found that the two had lived together for at least half a year.
It is not difficult to find such a law in his love history:
His lovers were all long-haired shawls and had high looks, at least a dozen years younger than him.
A year later, Hou Yong married three times in a low profile, and his mysterious wife finally surfaced.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" >05 treats the post-90s wife as a treasure</h1>
In 2017, the 50-year-old Hou Yong played Director Zhao in the TV series "In the Name of the People", which left a deep impression on people.
He used more than 100 plays in 30 years to pave the way for such a role.
In just one hour of drama, he became popular again.
His career rose and he ushered in his third marriage in this year.
Unlike the previous two, this time the bride Wang Rui is an outsider, more than 20 years younger than Hou Yong, and is a standard post-90s beauty.
Hou Yong, who regarded his wife as a treasure, held a wedding extremely low-key, and only the best friends were invited on the scene.
Hou Yong did this because he was worried that the rumors of the outside world would hurt his wife.
Whenever you go out with your wife, it can always become a beautiful landscape.
Some media exposed the photo of Hou Yong taking his wife to see the exhibition, which was jokingly called "Hou Yong took his daughter to see the exhibition" by netizens.
Although this marriage was not optimistic about the outside world, Hou Yong's face did look much better.
He was radiant, like a young lad, passionate about the life of the future.
On Hou Yong's birthday last year, he dressed up like a young man and mischievously made all kinds of funny expressions to the camera.
It is not so much that he is young, but rather that he has a good wife. Only by becoming younger can they keep their lives in quality and quantity.
He shows his most fashionable side to the fullest, as if love has given him endless strength.
Hou Yong once said: "Love has a shelf life, and after the freshness period, they will be strangers to each other." ”
He also said: "I once read a book that said that the shelf life of love is only seven days. ”
As for how long his love shelf life is, he has not calculated, maybe he has not been able to calculate it clearly.
I don't know, when the preservation period of love has passed, will Hou Yong's marriage be happy?
I hope that the 54-year-old Hou Yong has found true happiness, and I hope that he will live happier and happier.
