Editor / Little Love Letter
In 2003, a "Secret History of Xiaozhuang" broke the ratings and became popular with Tranquility and Ma Jingtao.
Then many times some people stood up and wanted You Xiaogang to shoot "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" again, but he rejected them one by one.
This TV series has long become a classic, and no one has dared to remake it so far and no one can surpass it.
Although You Xiaogang's fame is not as good as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, no one in the director's circle knows You Xiaogang and does not recognize his talent.
For his own works, What You Xiaogang is best at is to analyze the character's personality and emotions, so he is very cautious when selecting actors.
Perhaps bringing this delicate mind to life, You Xiaogang also has a special need for the choice of lover.
Some people pursue two emotions, some people pursue common progress and retreat, some people pursue male cultivators and female weavers...
The talented You Xiaogang has experienced three marriages in his life, what is he pursuing?
With his rare, childless and 30-year-old new wife, has his attachment to love been obtained?
A brief retrospective analysis to see if we can explore the emotional pursuit of the big director You Xiaogang.
You Xiaogang and Zhou Tingyi
1. No distinction
When he became famous, You Xiaogang was a guest on CCTV's variety talk show.
I remember the host asked such a question: Nowadays you have many identities, such as a director who has shot more than fifty works, an administrator of a cultural company, a professor in many universities, or a member of various literary and art clubs...
Wait a minute. Of all these identities, which one is your personal favorite?
"Director, I'm a director.
This is a career choice that I have no regrets in my life, because the director can restore the description of a story and the cognition of life to a real atmosphere for the audience to feel with you. ”
You Xiaogang filled the gap in the domestic Qing history drama with "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", and in "The Secret History of Yang Guifei", he tried to present every detail of the Tang Dynasty to the audience.
He's really good at dealing with those grand historical themes and discovering new angles and characteristics from them.
Speaking of facts, You Xiaogang loves his career.
Now set aside the identity of the director, restore the perspective of a man.
What kind of partner would such a man with a brain, talent and dreams aspire to have?
Leaving aside his appearance and personality, perhaps his first need is for the other party to be able to understand and support his career.
Tian Ge is a well-known host and director of Beijing Television.
She is a typical career type woman, with a strong sense of self-motivation for work, and the never-ending upward movement is both fresh and challenging for such a woman.
So when she first met You Xiaogang, she was attracted by the flashes on the other party.
You Xiaogang has a lot of ideas and ideas in shooting, which makes Tian Ge adore and love. And Tian Ge's admiration is in the middle of You Xiaogang's ambition as a man, and the two soon fall in love and go to marriage together.
The same professional hobbies naturally make them have a lot of common topics, and the complementarity of each other also makes them have many sweet moments.
However, when two people are in the same profession at the same time, there will be disputes in addition to the collision of inspirations.
It just so happens that tian ge strong woman has a strong, independent, and soft nature.
This makes it difficult for both talented people to be the first to bow their heads in a conflict.
It is said that once Tian Ge went to visit the class and watched the scene that You Xiaogang was filming.
She made some comments at the time, but You Xiaogang did not seem to accept it very much, and the two soon rose from an argument to an argument.
In front of so many people in the crew, his wife did not have any face, and You Xiaogang felt that his dignity was challenged.
In addition, after the two got married, they both rushed to get together in their careers. The two of them are more like working partners than husband and wife.
In less than ten years, this marriage of strong men and women has come to an end.
2. Gentle to the end
Tian Ge loves career and loves right and wrong, and is a straight man who can't tolerate sand in his eyes.
With You Xiaogang's marriage, she has grown up both in her career and life.
Leaving You Xiaogang, she continued to climb the height of her life and walked all the way to the position of an international film and television critic.
When Tian Ge and You Xiaogang crossed their eyebrows, the more he longed for the comfort of tenderness like water under the strong impact. Wu Qianqian is the candidate to fill his heart soft, and she is much more gentle than Tian Ge.
Wu Qianqian is also an actress, and has played in many of You Xiaogang's works, almost becoming You Xiaogang's "royal actress".
Wu Qianqian is a good-looking, born in a family of intellectuals, and has belonged to a well-behaved girl with good grades and talent since she was a child.
Wu Qianqian
During filming, she and You Xiaogang had feelings for each other, and the two were also the same age.
Wu Qianqian admired You Xiaogang's talent and never refuted his decision.
This intellectuality makes You Xiaogang fall in love with it.
"There is something gentle in her heart. Don't be ostentatious, don't demand anything. All of this gives me the feeling of 'stability'. ”
In 1996, a year after Wadage divorced.
The second time, You Xiaogang chose Wu Qianqian as his life partner.
After marriage, Wu Qianqian became You Xiaogang's Xiannai assistant, cleaning up the family and taking good care of him.
"We are both very affectionate, and I remember her birthday very clearly, but often when the day comes, I am busy forgetting. She wasn't angry and didn't say anything.
And she remembers my birthday very well, which makes me feel like she is a solid rear for me. ”

In short, Wu Qianqian's looseness and gentleness made You Xiaogang very satisfied.
Gradually, perhaps the thread in Wu Qianqian's hand was too loose, or perhaps because of the nature of the work. There began to be a lot of gossip about You Xiaogang and some other actresses.
There is no wind and no waves, Wu Qianqian is in the show business circle, she can't not care about those endless rumors.
A good face always has a beautiful day of twilight.
Wu Qianqian can choose to firmly believe in her and You Xiaogang's love, after all, the two have also experienced many storms together.
When they were just together, Wu Qianqian had no savings, and You Xiaogang also left the house to his ex-wife, and the two could be said to have no place to live, until later the unit divided a house and two people had a small home.
But looking at the beautiful young flower-like actresses outside, will Wu Qianqian feel threatened?
A big director like You Xiaogang, how many girls are waiting to climb the tall branches!
Probably in order to consolidate her family's position, Wu Qianqian is ready to promote her niece to become the heroine of You Xiaogang's "Secret History of Xi Shi".
Wu Qianqian's niece Wu Jingjing
In order to create a grand momentum and popularity for her niece, Wu Qianqian also let You Xiaogang publicly cast for the new play "The Secret History of Xi Shi".
At the selection meeting, it was full of beautiful women.
Wu Qianqian's niece was indeed elected as the heroine in the end, but this opportunity also paved the way for the end of her marriage with You Xiaogang and You Xiaogang's new marriage.
3. Keep the love
In 2015, some media filmed You Xiaogang and actress Zhou Tingyi traveling intimately.
Seeing that some negative news was about to spread, You Xiaogang, out of the protection of the woman, quickly came out to clarify:
"Wu Qianqian and I broke up peacefully three years ago, and we are still very good friends."
You Xiaogang and Wu Qianqian's 16-year marriage could not escape the fate of the world.
The two have been together for more than ten years, but they have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and the intensity of the original love will be clean at that time. A pair of "screen couples" were broken.
In addition to clarifying the divorce, when asked by the media whether he would remarry, You Xiaogang also sincerely revealed that he and his current girlfriend had a good relationship, and both sides were very serious.
Who the hell is this new girlfriend?
She was the actor who was successfully selected for another important role in the play at that casting meeting, Zhou Tingyi.
After You Xiaogang and Zhou Tingyi admitted their relationship, he did not take Zhou Tingyi to participate in various interview programs.
In the show, Zhou Tingyi generously told everyone about some things when filming with You Xiaogang, and also shared some interesting things about You Xiaogang.
The age difference between the old and the young is 30 years.
You Xiaogang seems to be very fond of this young and beautiful new girlfriend, and he has repeatedly emphasized that he and Zhou Tingyi are sincere and sincere.
I am afraid that the outside world will put the hat of "climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix" to the woman.
Every time Zhou Tingyi was telling something, You Xiaogang would silently listen to the side, or help play the round field.
Compared with You Xiaogang's previous two wives, Zhou Tingyi seems to be an upgraded version of the combination of the two of them.
Zhou Tingyi is naturally younger than them, but in terms of personality, she also neutralizes Tian Ge's independence and Wu Qianqian's gentleness.
You Xiaogang wants a side, she has.
I have only heard the new people laugh and the old people cry.
Isn't the former Wu Qianqian just like the current Zhou Tingyi? When she and You Xiaogang met, weren't they also young, beautiful and gentle?
Unfortunately, in the end, I still couldn't go to the end with You Xiaogang. After 16 years of marriage, he did not have a single child, and after the divorce, he became a lonely family.
Like Wu Qianqian, You Xiaogang has three relationships, and at the age of 70, he has no children and no daughters, only beautiful people as companions.
I don't know if the 70-year-old has a plan to "get old and have children", or whether he will live with An Anding Ding and Zhou Tingyi this time.
Three relationships, three different women.
If you want to say that You Xiaogang has spent his heart on the pursuit of freshness, he and his first two partners have also walked hand in hand for more than ten years, and they have also spent the "seven-year itch" with the current one.
To say that he is not irresponsible, but he is sincere and relative in every relationship, and does not hesitate to love and protect.
What is the love he pursues? And what encourages him to continue to try love in his later years? Maybe gentle character and self-respecting virtuousness are just part of what he asks of his partner.
As a man who has created countless works in his life, he may still be a confidant who craves more.
With his own life as a creation, You Xiaogang may want to prove one thing in different eras - his talent can impress women of different ages.
The beloved woman's admiration and appreciation for him is the greatest affirmation, and if the admiration of the other party dissipates in the long years of marriage, he will start from a new one.
Creators are always out of the blue, and their plans for life may be different from others.
Getting married and having children may not be important to people like You Xiaogang.
But will people who have been exploring also envy other people's children and grandchildren at some point?
Only he knew.
