In 2000, Xu Qingdong directed a police film "Six Groups of Serious Cases", which caused great repercussions after it was broadcast, especially "Ji Jie" played by Wang Qian, who was awe-inspiring in justice, brave and strategic, and his acting skills were all online.
Soon after the broadcast, Wang Qian married xu Qingdong, the director of the show, when Wang Qian was 36 years old and Xu Qingdong was 59 years old.
In 2014, her husband Xu Qingdong died at the age of 68, and their married life lasted only 9 years, and to this day, Wang Qian has not chosen to remarry or fall in love, but she always remembers that her husband's unfulfilled wish was not fulfilled when he died.
Behind a marriage with an age difference of 23 years, what is Wang Qian's picture?
Why, after 43 years, Wang Qian will try to overcome the difficulties and re-shoot the movie "Ah Cradle", which was very popular that year?
01
In 1968, the well-known director Xu Qingdong had just graduated from the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, and after being born in M country, he was taken back to China by his parents and traveled all over the motherland, and becoming a director in the future was a dream he had buried since he was a child.
Just when he graduated from the directing department at the age of 23 and was about to step into another stage of his dream.
An intellectual family in Tianjin has just given birth to a girl named Wang Qian.
No one would have thought that such two people would come together to become husband and wife in the future?
Wang Qian was a well-behaved girl in the family until the age of 16, very obedient, and at that time she also wanted to be like her parents, and when she grew up, she could be a teacher to teach and educate people.
But just when she was close to the college entrance examination, her mother suddenly fell seriously ill and needed someone to take care of her at any time, Wang Qian had a younger brother but was still young, and her father was very busy to support the family, and this burden could only fall on Wang Qian.
So she took a long leave of absence from school to go back to take care of her mother, during which time she poured tea and water for her mother, ran up and down to buy food, and lost ten pounds in a month.
Seeing that there were less than two months before the college entrance examination, Wang Qian's mother strongly advised her to go back and review for a period of time, so that she could get a college student at home.
Wang Qian, who could not help her mother, had to return to school, and when she saw the results of the college entrance examination, she was a little desperate, and she could only enter a vocational college with these results, and she would also do some boiler burning work in the future.
If you study for a year, time and money are not affordable, the mother in the family needs to be taken care of, the father is not easy to earn money, although some are unwilling, but they can only be left first.
So after graduating from high school, she went to find a simple job, earning five or six yuan a day until the beginning of school.
After arriving at the university, in addition to studying hard every day, Wang Qian would also squeeze out time to find a part-time job.
At that time, Wang Qian had a classmate's mother working in the library, and when she learned about Wang Qian's family situation, she was introduced to the library to do part-time work.
So Wang Qian was arranged to work on the first floor of the library, and the third floor of this library often had some theatrical performances.
One day, Wang Qian was tinkering with books in the library when suddenly a teacher came up to her and asked her:
"Are you a college student at this school?"
Wang Qian answered her affirmatively, there was a performance on the third floor at that time, but there was a role that did not come today, and she could only re-select a role, and happened to meet Wang Qian.
The teacher asked her if she would like to act.
At that time, Wang Qian had not studied acting at all, and wanted to refuse the teacher's invitation, but before she could finish speaking, the teacher shoved the script and her lines into her hands, "You are familiar with the lines, the performance is about to start."
This kind of temporary hugging of the Buddha's feet, Wang Qian is also the first time to meet, she had to try it hard, fortunately, her memory is good, she is not afraid of the stage, and she plays well on stage.
In the end, she won the third prize for this performance.
For Wang Qian, this opportunity almost changed the trajectory of her life, and she might have found a simple job after graduation, so she could have lived a simple life.
But because of this opportunity, she met a person in the acting industry, and she thought that Wang Qian was a good seedling to be an actress, so she suggested that she go to a professional school to study.
I didn't expect that because of an unexpected opportunity, she would eat the bowl of rice of the actor in the future.
02
In 1989, Wang Qian was successfully admitted to the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy and became a classmate with Yu Feihong, Liu Yanjun and others.
Wang Qian has been a boy since she was a child, and likes to mingle with male classmates, but has not talked about boyfriends.
Although there are also boys who pursue her, the reasons for her refusal are to focus on school.
Therefore, Wang Qian in Beiying not only has good academic performance, but also has good popularity, and the teacher also takes great care of her.
In 1990, Wang Qian, who had just entered her freshman year, was arranged by her teacher to participate in her first film in her life, "Migrant Girl in the Special Administrative Region", the predecessor of which should be from the popular "Foreign Sister" that year.
However, after the broadcast of the "Special Zone Migrant Girl" in which Wang Qian participated, it was far less than before, when Wang Qian thought it was her own reason, she felt that her appearance was too ordinary, which affected the overall effect of the film.
However, this did not affect her good impression in the hearts of teachers and classmates, and the next year she got the opportunity to participate in the first TV series "Legend of Paper Saint", but the effect was still average.
So after that, she decided to work behind the scenes for a while, learn more about the acting styles of her predecessors, and think about becoming a director in the future.
In 1992, Wang Qian was admitted to the Television Directing Major of Beijing Broadcasting College, and Wang Qian, who was only 24 years old at the time, had just come into contact with the directing profession.
However, at this time, Xu Qingdong had already directed a number of film and television dramas, from "He was in the Special Zone" in 1984, "The Story of Coconut City" in 1986 to "The Strange Love of Liangshan" in 1992, etc. Xu Qingdong has been in the directorial industry for many years and has a very rich experience as a director.
In 1997, Xu Qingdong directed a movie "Anti-Drug Hero" and invited Wang Qian to participate in the role of "Xiao Juan".
Xu Qingdong likes to specialize in scripts, and during the two of them, Wang Qian learned a lot from him, and the two who often stayed together were still caught up in public opinion at that time.
Because the difference between their two years is too big, one is 29 years old, one is 52 years old, and how they stay together looks like father and daughter, but the way they get along is like a couple.
However, I have to say that since knowing Xu Qingdong, Wang Qian's acting skills have improved a lot, and from this "Anti-Drug Hero", her acting skills have been recognized by the audience, and she has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, which has also laid the foundation for her future drama path.
Industry dramas became the mainstream of Wang Qian's later filming.
The two cooperated again is the hit drama "Six Groups of Serious Cases" at that time, I believe that people who have watched this drama know that the "Ji Jie" played by Wang Qian is impeccable, and it seems that anyone else is not suitable for this role, only Wang Qian looks good, and also won the titles of "the most beautiful police flower" and "queen of industry dramas".
This drama made Wang Qian popular, earning enough money to support the family, her father did not have to work hard every day, her mother's condition was also improved, and she also lived a good life.
If all this is thanks to one person, it must be Xu Qingdong.
After the two cooperations, Xu Qingdong's help to Wang Qian is huge, from acting skills to drama, from fledgling actors to popular stars, Xu Qingdong is the person who pays the most for her behind her.
Of course, all this is because Xu Qingdong likes Wang Qian, although the age gap has made them suffer a lot of cold eyes and ridicule, but the two people who are supreme in love do not care.
In 2002, the two collaborated again on the filming of "Serious Case Six Groups 2", and as before, this drama was also popular with the audience, and Wang Qian won the Golden Eagle Award for the audience's favorite actress award for this drama.
Along the way, Xu Qingdong took great care of Wang Qian, from patiently teaching her to shoot a scene, seriously discussing the script with her, to every detail, every action and expression.
After becoming popular, Wang Qian chose to marry Xu Qingdong at the peak of her career.
In 2004, Wang Qian was 36 years old, Xu Qingdong was 59 years old, and the two people, who were 23 years apart, finally entered the palace of marriage.
After 4 years of marriage, Wang Qian gave birth to a daughter.
Some people say that men are like a changed person after marriage, not as gentle and considerate as before, but Xu Qingdong is an exception, and after marriage, he still spoils Wang Qian into a treasure.
With the help of Xu Qingdong, Wang Qian began to work as a producer, screenwriter, and also participated in film and television dramas such as "Yangcheng Dark Whistle" and "Zazhuang".
Usually, the housework is done by two people together, and the task of picking up the child is handed over to Xu Qingdong, and Wang Qian lives a carefree life after marriage.
But the weather is unpredictable, and they only maintain such a life for 9 years.

In 2014, a crime drama "Evidence" cooperated by Xu Qingdong and Wang Qian premiered, but it was also in this year that Xu Qingdong suddenly suffered from asthma and was sent to the hospital and failed to rescue him, from the attack to death, the period was only half an hour.
After learning from the doctor that Xu Qingdong had died, Wang Qian was paralyzed on the ground for a while, unable to accept such a reality.
She also blamed herself for neglecting her husband's health.
At Xu Qingdong's funeral, Wang Qian cried into tears, and the actors who originally filmed "Six Groups of Serious Cases" also came to the scene, and when they saw the director's posthumous photos, they also left tears.
Later, Wang Qian was overly sad, resulting in insomnia, endocrine disorders, and even mental problems.
But she always remembers what her husband said, "Be a good director."
In 2008, Xu Qingdong had just finished filming "Serious Case Six Groups 3", when Wang Qian had just given birth to a daughter, so she wanted to do something for this newborn daughter, so she said:
"Policeman, doctor and teacher, these three professions are the most basic cornerstones of this social moral system, let's do the teacher theme next."
Xu Qingdong proposed:
"Let's just make a theatrical version of 'Ah Cradle'"
So since this conversation, Wang Qian has been preparing for this drama, but has not been put on the agenda.
Until Xu Qingdong's death, everyone paid attention to how Wang Qian was doing, and ignored that she had actually been fulfilling her last wish for her deceased husband.
In order to make this drama show the best effect, Wang Qian invited many well-known actors at the beginning, and many investors saw that this cast was scared away, so the filming process of this drama was very difficult.
In the end, Wang Qian took 7 years to complete this drama, and in 2021, "Ah Cradle" was scheduled to be broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, although it was not as good as the previous movie version, but the real plot and vivid acting skills were also recognized by the audience.
Maybe it doesn't matter how much honor the show ends up bringing her, what matters is that she ended up doing a great thing for her husband.
When I first debuted, Xu Qingdong has been helping me behind my back, and now that he is gone, I repay him in this way.
Compared with the time when her husband first left, Wang Qian is like a changed person, cheerful and confident and decent, and some people ask her how she survived.
She replied:
"He has always been in my heart, it is he who inspires me to move forward, I want to live my share of his"
Although his lover has passed away, he is still alive in Wang Qian's heart.
Now that Wang Qian is 53 years old, she has not chosen to remarry, or even talked about a new boyfriend, and there are already people in her heart, and there is no room for a second one.
The daughter is also 14 years old, still in junior high school, but is a warm "little cotton jacket", knowing that it is not easy for her mother to take herself alone, and usually comes home to make her mother happy.
Many people are still most impressed by Wang Qian's "Six Groups of Serious Cases", not to be unaware, a calculation of this drama has passed 21 years.
Time erased the traces of many people's existence, and also took away the people Wang Qian once loved.
