"Don't rush me too much, don't arrest me and go to jail, my ex-husband owes you money, I will definitely pay you back." ”
"You're different from other women, or marry me, and your ex-husband's debt will be written off." ”
……
Such dialogue is not like the Mary Sue plot in the domineering president's text.
Only for YY, a girl who does not understand the world, it is difficult to appear in real life.
But this is exactly the true portrayal of the second marriage of Xu Feng, a "generation of heroes".
In fact, Xu Feng's life is spliced together by several role conversions.
Moreover, every change in social roles has brought her to a higher level.
Along the way, Xu Feng struggled out of the poor reorganized family,
After ascending to the podium of the film, he married into the giants as a divorce.
Then, open a film company, with a love for movies and a unique vision,
Become a "nobleman" who has achieved the highlight moments of Chen Kaige and Zhang Guorong's careers.
After that, she took over her husband's company in grief and worked hard to make "Tomson Yipin" the most prestigious "star mansion" in Shanghai Beach.
When other actors play legends on the screen, Xu Feng, who is an actor, has made himself a legend.
Chivalrous
Xu Feng was born in Taiwan in 1950 and is 72 years old this year.
As an ordinary family who fled to Taiwan in the 1950s, Xu Feng's family's life was stretched.
However, the roof leaked during the overnight rain, and at the age of 5, Xu Feng's father died.
The top pillar of the family fell, and Xu Feng's mother could not support a family alone.
Therefore, Xu Feng's mother took the children and remarried.
But the remarried family is still poor, so poor that Xu Feng will be stared at by his stepfather if he clips more chopsticks.
Such a family environment makes Xu Feng desperate to go out to earn money and share the worries and difficulties for her mother.
At the age of 15, the famous martial arts film director Hu Jinquan prepared to shoot "Dragon Gate Inn" in Taiwan to select actors.
Xu Feng, who never knew what the performance was, participated in the "audition" with the mentality of trying it out.
At that time, the actors who participated in the audition were given a script that read:
You've been in love with your boyfriend for years, and when you go to your boyfriend with the good news that your parents agreed to get married,
The boyfriend took out a wedding photo with someone else.
What director Hu Jinquan wants to see is the reaction of the candidates when they see the "wedding photos".
15-year-old Xu Feng had no love experience at that time, but perhaps God appreciated the meal.
Xu Feng's feelings in front of the camera are extremely full, and large drops of tears fall on the spot.
This natural and moving performance made Xu Feng get the highest score in the whole field, standing out from more than 4,000 people.
Later, talking about the reasons for Liking Xu Feng, director Hu Jinquan said:
"She has a story in her eyes."
OFFER was successfully obtained, but the company asked Xu Feng to sign a 6-year contract at one time.
The mother disagreed, thinking that her daughter was going to sign a "deed of sale".
Xu Feng, who wants to be independent, assured her mother that she would be clean and self-sufficient, which made her mother put her mind at ease.
In this way, 15-year-old Xu Feng found a job, although she only earned 800 Taiwan dollars a month, she was still satisfied.
In fact, Xu Feng only has three scenes in "Dragon Gate Inn", but as a newcomer, she performs well.
Director Hu Jinquan was very satisfied with Xu Feng, so he decided to let her play the female number one of "Chivalrous Girl".
"Heroine" is Hu Jinquan's self-written and self-directed work, he has devoted great efforts to this movie, and the requirements for actors are also extremely high.
Sometimes, the makeup and hair are not right, and Hu Dao will take matters into his own hands and sort it out until he is satisfied.
Working under such strict requirements, the pressure can be imagined.
In the first scene after filming, Xu Feng was arranged to play against dozens of actors, shooting forty or fifty shots in one day.
In order to make a good martial arts film, Xu Feng, who has been trained, has some kung fu in her body, but such a high-intensity work still makes her miserable.
But Xu Feng, who is the heroine for the first time, wants to make this movie too well, so she grits her teeth and insists, even if she is injured, she does not flinch.
Once, the actor who played the opposite role was supposed to slash at Xu Feng's hair bun, but he accidentally cut Xu Feng's forehead.
In an instant, Xu Feng's eyes were scarlet.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, 6 stitches were stitched, xu Feng continued to follow Director Hu to shoot "Heroine", and the shooting was four years.
In 1975, "Heroine" finally came to fruition, and participated in the Cannes Film Festival that year, winning the technical award in one fell swoop.
This is the first time that a Chinese film has won awards at three major European film festivals.
Xu Feng as the lead actor, with YouRong Yan.
After the award, Xu Feng walked out of the theater, and many people came up to hug her warmly.
This made Xu Feng feel that the original film can not only make money, but also get so much respect and love.
After that, the original team of "Chivalrous" cooperated in the filming of "Assassin".
With his performance in this film, Xu Feng won the Golden Horse Award for Film Queen.
And her cooperation with director Hu Jinquan is also continuing,
The two have successively cooperated in the filming of "Yingchun Pavilion Storm", "Legend in the Mountains", "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" and other movies.
Although the plot is different, Xu Feng's chivalrous image remains unchanged.
Under the tutelage of director Hu Jinquan, Xu Feng has always maintained a cold and tough style.
Her tiger-leopard eyes always reveal an uncompromising and uncompromising posture,
Create a classic image of "a generation of chivalrous women".
In 1979, Xu Feng changed the drama path, changed the image of a heroine, and played an ordinary peasant woman in the movie "Source".
And this movie also allowed Xu Feng to once again lift the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress trophy.
producer
Unlike the smooth sailing in her career, Xu Feng's initial marriage was very unsatisfactory.
When the mother was seriously ill, she hoped to see her daughter Xu Feng marry, and also helped Xu Feng choose a candidate.
The filial Piety Xu Feng did not want her mother to die with regrets, so she hurriedly married according to her mother's arrangement.
After marriage, the husband went out in the name of Xu Feng to swindle and deceive.
With a huge debt, after divorcing Xu Feng, he patted his ass and left.
Only Xu Feng was left with a divorced identity and countless creditors.
In fact, the debt is not owed by Xu Feng, and she can also not pay it back.
But after playing the "chivalrous woman" for so many years, Xu Feng is a bit "chivalrous".
She said: "After making so many martial arts films, I have taught me loyalty and filial piety and benevolence.
Moreover, many of the people who are owed money are also my friends, and I can't ignore them. ”
Therefore, Xu Feng shouldered all the debts of her ex-husband and desperately took over the drama, hoping to earn a little more and pay off the debt as soon as possible.
Moreover, Xu Feng also found the creditor who owed the most money to her ex-husband and tried to stabilize the other party.
After all, his ex-husband owes him too much money to pay off by shooting a few more scenes.
The "biggest" creditor was named Tang Junnian.
The Tang family started in the fabric decoration business in its early years, and at its peak, it opened more than 3,000 sales stores around the world.
Later, Tang Junnian entered the real estate industry and opened two very famous department stores in Taiwan.
At that time, Tang Junnian was not yet married, coupled with his elegant appearance, he could be called the "Diamond King Old Fifth".
Xu Feng found Tang Junnian and said straight to the point:
"I hope you can give me more time, I now shoot a lot of scenes a year, and I will definitely pay back the money I owe you."
This kind of straightforwardness and responsibility made Tang Junnian feel very fresh and special.
Moreover, he could hardly believe that there was such a woman in the world who would help her ex-husband pay off her debts.
In this way, Tang Junnian was deeply attracted by Xu Feng, a "strange woman", and began a vigorous pursuit of Xu Feng.
Recalling that year, Xu Feng said: "Mr. Tang chased me very hard, but I only knew these difficulties after marriage. ”
Tang Junnian's family tradition, parents heard that their son wanted to marry a divorced actress back home, they all expressed strong opposition.
Tang Junnian silently carried the pressure from his family.
While he fell in love with Xu Feng, he constantly expressed his firmness to his parents with actions.
In 1980, Tang Junnian finally married Xu Feng as he wished.
He placed thirty thousand roses at the wedding scene, which caused a sensation at the time.
After marriage, the mother-in-law and Xu Feng mentioned Tang Junnian's "resistance".
The mother-in-law told Xu Feng that if I had not promised my son to marry you, I might have lost my son.
Recognizing Xu Feng's daughter-in-law, the in-laws also put forward the only request, that is, they hoped that Xu Feng would no longer act in movies.
Xu Fengshuang quickly agreed, and did not feel that this was a compromise and concession.
When he came out to shoot a scene at the age of 15, Xu Feng felt that he had been running like a horse.
If you can slow down and take a break, Xu Feng is also very happy.
After marriage, she gave birth to two sons in succession, and she had a strong relationship with her husband Tang Junnian.
Sometimes her husband Tang Junnian played cards on the first floor, Xu Feng massaged in the basement, and Tang Junnian would feel that his wife Xu Feng was too far away from him.
After a few years of the life of xiangfu godson, Xu Feng could not sit still.
Tang Junnian arranged for Xu Feng to go to the department store he opened to stamp the check.
At that time, the Tang family's department store issued more than two hundred checks in half a month, and Xu Feng thought of sorting out the accounts by the way after stamping the seal.
But for these two hundred checks, Xu Feng took the calculator and calculated ten times, and the number of ten times was different.
This made Xu Feng very frustrated and felt that he was useless.
Tang Junnian, who has always spoiled his wife, can't bear to see Xu Feng depressed.
He threw out four million to Xu Feng and asked her to do what she liked.
Tang Junnian knew that Xu Feng had been frugal for many years, and thought that she would definitely take money to buy a house.
But unexpectedly, Xu Feng took the money and thought about it for several months, and finally decided to open a film company.
She said that although she wanted to take a break when she got married, she really stopped and felt that the movie had already been integrated into her own blood.
Since the in-laws don't like her to act in movies again, it is better to invest in movies.
When all is said and done, Xu Feng asked her mentor Hu Jinquan to help her film company name it.
Hu Dao said that it is called "Qingfeng Nian", there is Xu Feng's "Feng", there is Tang Junnian's "Nian", and then add a Qing character, which means good.
But at that time, there was already a film company in Taiwan named Feng Nian, so this good name could not be used.
Therefore, Xu Feng thought, let's call it Tomson, which means the Tang family's own company.
But this time, Tang Junnian, who spoiled his wife, did not agree.
Because he felt that Xu Feng's film company must have opened soon,
Maybe two movies will go out of business, and Tomson will be very humiliated.
Xu Feng finished his good words before he asked her husband to agree to give her the name Tomson.
The company opened, and the first movie Xu Feng invested in was "The Ugly Duckling".
The film did well, and it also saved TianNian whose popularity had fallen to the bottom.
After that, Tomson invested in the filming of "Good Boy", which became a hit.
The theater has been popular for a series of scenes, the trend has climbed all the way, and finally the box office exceeded 10 million,
It won the third place at the box office of the Taiwan Film Market that year.
The film was eventually made into a series, with seven films in a row before it ended.
In this process, Xu Feng's ideas and strategies for selecting films have gradually become clear, that is:
Shoot a commercial film, and then make a literary and art film, and realize the two-way emphasis on art and commercial themes through "cultivating art with business".
In line with the principle of "expensive is not expensive", Xu Feng's film company does not blindly follow the shooting and shoot indiscriminately, accumulating many excellent works.
There are commercial films such as "Good Boy", which have a long box office hit, and there are also literary and art films such as "Rolling Red Dust", which have won awards and won soft hands.
With good results in Taiwan and Hong Kong, Xu Feng has set his sights on a broader market.
In 1988, Xu Feng took 8 films to the Cannes Film Festival, not to participate in the exhibition, but to sell films.
In Cannes, Xu Feng met Chen Kaige and watched Chen Kaige's participating film "The Child King".
The film was so stuffy that half of the audience fell asleep and half of the audience left early.
But Xu Feng read them all, and GOT got what Chen Kaige wanted to express.
The next day, Xu Feng asked Chen Kaige to come out,
He gave him Li Bihua's novel "Farewell to the Overlord" and invited him to direct the film.
Chen Kaige refused, he felt that the novel was too popular, and it was not at all the work he wanted to make.
But in the darkness, Xu Feng had a feeling that the director of "Farewell to the Overlord" was none other than Chen Kaige.
Therefore, she spent a lot of effort to convince Chen Kaige.
Before and after, Xu Feng and Chen Kaige communicated for more than 200 hours, and finally, Chen Kaige agreed.
The director determined that it was the candidate for "Cheng Dieyi" in the film.
Xu Feng said that since she decided to prepare for the filming of "Farewell to the Overlord", the "Cheng Butterfly" in her heart is Zhang Guorong.
Zhang Guorong is also very interested in this role, but because of the brokerage company, the cooperation has not been negotiated.
In the repetition, Xu Feng also considered the Zunlong, who was more well-known in the world at that time.
Fortunately, after a series of twists and turns, Zhang Guorong finally succeeded in starring in "Cheng Dieyi".
In Xu Feng's view, "Farewell to the Overlord" is a highly successful work of collective cooperation.
From the original to the director to the lead actor to all the supporting characters and behind-the-scenes workers, every choice is extremely appropriate.
In Xu Feng's words, it is "indispensable in this TEAM." ”
Therefore, Xu Feng foresaw the success of this work.
In 1993, Xu Feng and all the main creators arrived in Cannes.
18 years ago, newcomer Xu Feng first arrived in Cannes and looked at the highest hall of the movie with curious eyes.
At that time, she found that the winner of each individual award would receive a certificate.
Only the Palme d'Or for best picture will win a medal.
She had a vague dream in her heart, that is, to get that medal.
Who would have thought that 18 years later, the young actor would really realize this seemingly unattainable dream.
Again as a producer.
To this day, "Farewell to the King" is still the only Chinese-language film to win the Palme d'Or.
Although, sooner or later, this excellent novel will be put on the screen,
However, without Xu Feng's strategy, perhaps its value and achievements in Chinese film history would not reach the current height.
Business
With Xu Feng's success in film production, she also gradually began to participate in the operation of her husband's company.
In 1992, Tang Junnian took Xu Feng to Pudong in Shanghai.
He pointed to the wasteland in front of him, where the mud was everywhere and the reeds were higher than a man, and told Xu Feng:
I plan to sell three companies in Hong Kong and devote all my financial resources and energy to the development of Pudong.
This decision of her husband made Xu Feng break out in a cold sweat.
But she chose to trust her husband's vision and gradually focused on real estate development projects.
Xu Feng accompanied her husband Tang Junnian to raise up to $2 billion in funds, all of which were invested in Pudong.
Subsequently, Tomson Group built the first Grade A office building in Pudong,
The first five-star hotel, the first golf course...
After the hotel was completed, at nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Feng stood in the hotel and looked out the window, and the street was empty.
This kind of coldness made Xu Feng cold from head to toe, but her husband Tang Junnian was still full of confidence and did not waver.
In 1996, Tang Junnian was involved in a lawsuit in Hong Kong, which put the Tang family and the group in a very difficult situation.
At the critical moment, Xu Feng stepped forward and quickly raised 20 million yuan, released her husband on bail, and lifted the crisis.
Back in Shanghai, the couple continued to devote themselves to each other.
They have invested in 16 projects in Pudong, and they are also known as the pioneers of Pudong development.
In 2000, the Shanghai real estate market warmed up, and with the rise in house prices, Tomson Group gained huge benefits.
Tang Junnian's unique business vision and great confidence in Pudong have finally paid off.
However, the lawsuit and family-inherited diabetes made Tang Junnian's health deteriorate.
In 2004, Tang Junnian died of complications from diabetes at the age of 56.
The sudden blow plunged Xu Feng and both of his sons into great grief.
For a while, Xu Feng slept until 8 p.m. every day, and then continued to sleep at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the waking time was only 4 hours a day.
But the husband's business will always continue.
Xu Fengqiang took over the management of the entire group, and every day when she went downstairs to the company, she would say a word to herself:
"Ready, CAMERA!"
Then, pretend to be a light and breezy appearance to go to work.
But the body will not deceive people, and mourning has also hurt Xu Feng's health.
During that time, she would often be breathless.
Huge oxygen bottles are placed in her home and office in case she can take oxygen at any time.
The people around her who spoke cold words asserted that looking at Xu Feng's half-dead appearance, she would not live for half a year.
But Xu Feng, who wanted to be strong, survived that dark and lawless day.
Not only did he come back to life, but he also kept the projects left by her husband beautifully.
Only 15 days after the death of her husband, Tomson Yipin opened smoothly, and the pre-sale price per square meter was as high as 110,000 yuan.
In 2006, Tomson Yipin sold for 130,000 yuan per unit, setting a new record in China's real estate market.
Later, this record was also continuously broken by Tomson Yipin, reaching a staggering 380,000 per square meter at its peak.
Up to now, Tomson Has been open for nearly 20 years, but under the creation of Xu Feng and his son,
Tomson Yipin is still a bellwether of Shanghai's luxury housing market.
In this way, Xu Feng inherited her husband's career, provoked the burden of the group, and committed herself to doing real estate with film temperament;
While trying to infect two children with their optimism and strength, they will be raised into outstanding young people with achievements.
Under Xu Feng's education, both sons were excellent.
They have successively joined the Tomson Group, and now they all serve as vice chairmen of the group.
The two were born rich and handsome, but they were all well behaved, and there were few gossip.
This also reflects the success of Xu Feng's teaching of the two from the side.
The two sons have a successful career, stable and reliable, which makes Xu Feng in his later years have no worries.
So, she threw her enthusiasm into the movie.
In 2015, Taiwan wanted to restore a film directed by Hu Jinquan.
Xu Feng heard about it and did not hesitate to pay 5 million yuan to fund the restoration of the enshi film.
In recognition of Xu Feng's outstanding contributions to film, in 2017, the Golden Horse Awards awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" to Xu Feng.
On the same day, the guest of honor was Xu Feng's friend Zhang Aijia, who said emotionally before the award:
For more than forty years she had enjoyed a very beautiful name— Chivalrous.
Carrying a good name on her back was difficult, and she did. ”
This evaluation is apt and well deserved.
Xu Fengzhen is like the heroine she plays, who has lived bravely, resolutely, autonomously and soberly for decades.
When Xu Feng's film company was in full swing, in an interview, the reporter asked her:
"Have you ever considered playing a role in a movie you've invested in?"
Xu Feng replied affirmatively, "No! ”
She said my company invested in 26 films and I didn't show a single shot.
Because people have to enter different stages, and the most important thing in each stage is to recognize themselves!
Perhaps, this is the reason why Xu Feng can constantly transform and continue to climb.
For a woman like her, life is changing, and the years are long.
Temporary difficulties are not terrible, and life can be unfulfilled, but you must try your best.
It is in one attempt after another that Xu Feng stepped on the node of the times and radiated great vitality.
Finally, with the attitude of "chivalrous woman", she achieved the legend of life.
