In today's entertainment industry, there is such a legendary woman, she lives wantonly and bravely, but her temperament is like a rich and fragrant lily, clean and elegant.
She is the little sister in Luo Dayou's love, letting Li Zongsheng know what is the price of love. Huang Xia commented that she was the "godmother" of Caizi.
Her famous quote is: "You can't go a day without love." ”
That's right, she is Zhang Aijia.
In the "Readers" program, Zhang Aijia said, "I have loved talents all my life, and I have always been old." ”
Therefore, most of her half-life stories are related to talents.
01
Zhang Aijia was born in Taiwan in 1953.
From the perspective of the environment at that time, she was born into a noble family.
Grandpa was the vice mayor of Tianjin before liberation. His maternal grandfather, Wei Jingmeng, was the director of the Taiwan Information Bureau.
His father was an air force officer in the Nationalist Army at the time, and his mother was a socialite in the 60s.
Uncle Zhang Beihai is a famous writer, such a family, status, identity, wealth and so on.
However, all this did not bring anything to Zhang Aijia, her father died of a mission in the air when she was about one year old, and Zhang Aijia could only rely on her mother for her life.
Soon her mother remarried, and Zhang Aijia, who was a child, could only live with her grandparents.
But the love of the next generation made Zhang Aijia rebel from an early age. Even cut Grandpa's scarce Kashmiri wool blanket from the middle, Grandpa not only did not have a little temper, but also praised her, "Wearing this cape is very beautiful."
By the time she was 12 years old, her mother had taken her to the United States to study.
In middle school, at the time of the explosion of American culture, the streets were full of hippie culture.
The women's liberation movement, the concept of openness and freedom, made Americans like crazy for a while, and Zhang Aijia also began to let go of herself in this environment.
She wore a ring in her hand, a garland on her head and sang barefoot in the park, and the whole portrait changed its appearance.
The mother was not accustomed to it, saying that she did not have the appearance of a girl at all. The rebellious Zhang Aijia directly cut her long hair into short hair and simply became a tomboy.
Dressed in a miniskirt, she wandered between parties, frantically talking about "short" love, and went to parades, shouting slogans "Make love, not war" in the streets.
After her mother, Wei Shujuan, knew about it, she was worried and angry, so she simply let her return to Taiwan.
After returning home, he was sent by his mother to Sacred Heart Girls' Senior High School.
The school was notoriously strict, but for Zhang Aijia, who was wild, it didn't work.
The independence and freedom of the West have long allowed her to develop a self-serving personality.
Even among the strictly managed Sacred Heart girls, zhang Aijia could not stop zhang Aijia from singing and dancing around and attending parties.
It was also because of a party activity that Zhang Aijia got acquainted with Liu Wenzheng of Xuhui Middle School.
However, Zhang Aijia's spicy style and Liu Wenzheng's style are always a bit "out of place". So, Liu Wenzheng turned his target to her classmates.
Later, Zhang Aijia felt more and more bored reading. She began to learn to sing while doing various part-time jobs.
At the age of 16, he began to participate in various programs on radio and television stations as a student singer. After that, he participated in China Television's "Daily Star".
In 1972, Zhang Aijia, who was young and beautiful and had good singing skills, was favored by Zou Wenhuai, the owner of Jiahe Film Company. Soon, Zhang Aijia was signed by Jiahe and became a formal artist.
Her talent and unbridled momentum are very popular with her boss Zou Wenhuai, and he personally named her "Zhang Aijia", which means "love Jiahe".
From his debut, he began to praise, directly partnering with Xu Guan, who was guaranteed by the box office, to perform "Dragon Tiger King Kong".
This film, whether it is the actors or the production team, at that time, the top was the "top stream".
The director is Luo Wei, who has directed Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen", the male number one is the first xiaosheng Wang Yu in the martial arts film, and even Xu Guanjie is only the second male in the play, which shows how much Zhang Aijia is favored by Jiahe.
But a year later, when her career was just beginning to pick up, she fell in love with her husband, Kanekawa.
This Jin Chuan is by no means an idle person, and he has a family, in addition to Zhang Aijia, he also maintains a relationship with an actress named Jin Yanling.
For a time, the original match, Jin Yanling, Zhang Aijia. Several women competing for the wind and jealousy is very sensational, the development of four-corner love to the end, the female martial arts shen zhihua (Jin Chuan originally matched) and Jin Yanling met in the airport narrow road, go up directly is a slap, fan Of Jin Yanling's eyes are venus.
This incident ruined Jin Yanling's reputation, her career plummeted, and she could only take the Xiangyan route in the end, while Shen Zhihua divorced Jin Chuan and left her hometown.
After the company's executives knew, they strictly ordered Zhang Aijia to break up as soon as possible to avoid the impact of bad scandals.
But she has always been accustomed to a free personality and ignores the company's demands.
Finally, under the mediation of family and friends, the contract was peacefully terminated with Jiahe Company.
Shortly after the termination, her relationship with Jin chuan also came to an end.
Because of this incident, Zhang Aijia was buried for nearly 4 years.
02
After leaving Jiahe, it was not until 1975 that Zhang Aijia waited for the play.
Director Ding Shanxi invited her to star in "Eight Hundred Heroes" and gave her the role of female number one.
Zhang Aijia is very happy about this scene, and at the same time attaches great importance to it. Knowing that the character in the film is a strong swimmer, she immediately began to learn to swim, practicing swimming for at least half a day every day.
But just when everything is ready, just wait for the group to officially start.
But what waited was that Lin Qingxia took her role.
For this reason, director Ding Shanxi apologized repeatedly, and could only arrange less important roles for her.
Zhang Aijia did not think about it, but gladly accepted this small role.
After the release of the film, Lin Qingxia won the Best Actress Award for this film.
Although Zhang Aijia did not gain anything, she was favored by music producer and director Liu Jiachang.
In 1976, Zhang Aijia became the heroine of "Plum Blossom" directed by Liu Jiachang.
During filming, the two spread the gossip. And was revealed to be suspected of living together.
After the release of "Plum Blossom", it won the "Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Film", and Zhang Aijia also became famous.
In the same year, she starred in Qiong Yao's "BiyunTian", and with her superb acting skills in the play, she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress in one fell swoop.
Subsequently, her acting career gradually reached the top and became the dazzling star of that era.
At this time, Liu Wenzheng faded the youth of that year, and with the help of his master Liu Jiachang, he was already sitting in the music world.
In 1977, Zhang Aijia partnered with Liu Wenzheng to co-starred in the movie "Shining Days".
Liu Wenzheng's handsome appearance and rare talent have long made Zhang Aijia's heart move.
This time, she didn't want to miss that opportunity again.
So she took the initiative and staged a romantic drama of a woman chasing a man.
But Liu Wenzheng was still unmoved, because he felt that Zhang Aijia was too beautiful, there were too many people chasing her, and there was no sense of security at all.
Just as Zhang Aijia was unconscious, Luo Dayou appeared. He is working on the theme song "Shining Days" for the film.
At this time, Luo Dayou was still a medical student, engaged in creation after class.
At first sight, the two discussed music together, talked about life ideals, and slowly exchanged feelings for each other.
From cooperation to secret love between the two people, the feelings have heated up in a straight line.
But what is surprising is that in 1979, under the introduction of friends, Zhang Aijia and Liu Youlin fell in love.
Liu Youlin, the 16-year-old Zhang Aijia, was the president of the Hong Kong bureau of the Associated Press at the time.
The two of them came together, and many of them disagreed. When Zhang Aijia decided to get married, everyone stood up against her, reminding her not to be carried away by love for a while.
However, her mother was more in favor of the marriage, and her mother came from the old society, so she felt that women needed to be attached to powerful men in order to live a decent life.
That year, Zhang Aijia was 25 years old and successfully married into Liu Youlin's magnate, thinking that from then on she could live a leisurely life of xiangfu godson.
But it didn't take long for her to get tired of this life.
Every day in the face of chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea, Zhang Aijia feels more and more that her life is too plain.
This also made her love life with Liu Youlin gradually drift away. Unwilling to be mediocre, she soon returned to show business.
In 1981, Zhang Aijia was invited to star in the film "My Grandpa" directed by Ke Junxiong. Zhang Aijia won the Golden Horse Award for Film Queen with this film!
But I don't know what the reason is, just ushered in the glory of her acting career, but she turned to the singing career.
Zhang Aijia, who has always been self-contained, directly joined Rolling Stone Records.
At this time, Luo Dayou had grown from a medical student to a well-known music producer.
His fate with Zhang Aijia 3 years ago was once again ignited.
Although Zhang Aijia has become a wife, her hazy relationship with Luo Dayou has still let some scandals spread from the outside world.
Moreover, Luo Dayou spent five years to create his debut album "Childhood" for Zhang Aijia.
Every song on this album seems to be full of Luo Dayou's love.
At that time, Luo Dayou liked to spoil Zhang Aijia as "Little Sister".
Therefore, Zhang Aijia has a song called "Little Sister", which is the expression of Luo Dayou's feelings for Zhang Aijia, hoping that she will always be his "little sister".
This nickname has since become another title for Zhang Aijia, and many people in the circle are still accustomed to calling her "Little Sister".
However, her relationship with Luo Dayou only lasted for a year before it ended.
Luo Dayou once used "falling into the maltose pool" to describe the two people getting along, as if to express the sweet but also sticky feeling of love.
03
After ending Luo Dayou's "singing career", Zhang Aijia began to think about directing films again.
At this time, a man named Yang Dechang gave up his enviable job in the United States and returned to Taiwan to break into the film industry.
At the invitation and support of Zhang Aijia, Yang Dechang began to test the waters and directed the "Duckweed" unit in the movie "Eleven Women". Since then, it has officially entered the film and television circle.
Yang Dechang is very special, in the middle of a group of people, he always sits calmly on the side, only occasionally jumping out of a sentence.
Zhang Aijia on the side, looking at Yang Dechang, who was full of talent, was full of talent, and his spring heart was budding.
When the film they worked on achieved a good reputation, the gossip was also boiling.
During the exchange, Yang Dechang helped Zhang Aijia to obtain the throne of the director of the Taiwan branch of "New Art City".
However, at that time, the film market competition was fierce, and the song and dance film "Hitchhiker" directed by Yu Jieping won 11 nominations at the Golden Horse Awards that year, and finally won 4 awards such as Best Actor, Best Film Original Music, and Best Original Song. "New Art City" has completely established itself in the Taiwan market.
There are 5 original songs from the film, 3 of which were written by Luo Dayou.
But Zhang Aijia does not agree with the development trend of film, and she has always insisted on taking the route of literary and art films.
However, the company's senior management did not adopt her opinion, and she resigned from the position of director in a huff.
In 1982, Zhang Aijia and Liu Youlin's marriage came to an end.
The huge age difference and the gap are ultimately difficult to overcome.
The two often quarreled and simply separated.
Restless heart, let her abandon Yang Dechang, and then discuss music with Luo Dayou.
In 1985, Zhang Aijia and Liu Youlin ended their 6-year marriage. Whenever talking about this marriage, Zhang Aijia frankly said: "I am ashamed of him."
This year, Li Zongsheng, who was full of ambition, entered the Rolling Stones records under the recommendation of his girlfriend Zheng Yi.
At that time, Li Zongsheng, who was known as "Little Li", appeared on the scene and sent Zhang Aijia an album of "Busy and Blind".
He started the "concept album" for Zhang Aijia's "Busy and Blind", which won the 19th place in the 1985 Top 100 Records.
In the same year, the two also played a couple who faked the real thing in "The Season I Miss the Most".
The high-frequency and tacit cooperation makes the scandal go away, and the relationship between the two is confusing, while Zhang Aijia, a love-onlyist, does not care about the speculation of the outside world at all.
Perhaps, "The Price of Love" is the heart of two people. Just like many years later, at Li Zongsheng's concert, Zhang Aijia, as a guest, asked him: "After all these years, have you ever loved me?" ”
Li Zongsheng, who was momentarily speechless, could only respond to her with "The Price of Love".
When referring to her and Li Zongsheng, Zhang Aijia once said on the show: "There was a chance, but it stopped. ”
Also this year, at a party, Zhang Aijia met Wang Jingxiong, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, and the two people quickly entangled together.
Wang Jingxiong is a husband with a wife and a father of two children.
But Zhang Aijia did not have time to take care of these things, and she loved when she wanted to. For this man, she silently guarded the underground romance.
Those years were the most brilliant moments on Zhang Aijia's life path.
First, she wrote and directed herself, "The Favorite", which pushed her to the peak. He received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay and Best Interlude, and eventually won the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Film Queen. The British National Cinema held a focus feature for her "Tribute to Zhang Aijia".
Later, she was favored by Du Qifeng and invited her to perform "The Story of Ah Lang" with Zhou Runfa, although she was still fond of literary and art films. But her acting skills have been unanimously praised inside and outside the industry, and she has been invisibly pushed to the altar.
In 1987, a song "A Game and a Dream" in her self-directed and self-starred movie "Yellow Story" directly changed Wang Jie's life.
For a time, Zhang Aijia became a hall-level figure.
However, an explosive news broke her from the altar to a low point.
In August 1990, the news that Zhang Aijia had a child out of wedlock was exposed, and public opinion was in an uproar.
In the face of outside questions, Zhang Aijia chose silence and refused to respond to any news from the child.
It was not until a year later, when Wang Jingxiong officially completed the divorce procedures, and then with her low-key make-up wedding, that everyone suddenly realized that the final choice of the original literary and artistic goddess was still a safe and secure destination full of fireworks.
04
This relationship with Wang Jingxiong also attracted a lot of insults to her at that time, but she had no regrets about betting everything for love.
Perhaps Zhang Aijia found the ideal confidant, and after marriage, she never had a scandal with the "talented son".
She put all her energy into her work, and her career ushered in wave after wave of climaxes.
In 1992, he and Zhu Weiyin crossed the plain Li Zongsheng, remembered Zhang Aijia at that time, and could not help but burst into tears and write the song "The Price of Love".
The outside world has always been rumored that Li Zongsheng's "The Price of Love" is actually a testimonial to her half-life love road, "find a home for her heart", as if telling the story of the supremacy of love for a long time, she can finally be relieved.
If Li Zongsheng wrote all the romance to Lin Yilian, then too much regret was written to Zhang Aijia.
In 1994, Zhang Aijia returned to Taiwan and devoted herself to the creation of literary and art films.
"Little Girl Fish" won The Red Rene Liu, and "Heartbeat" won her the first Academy Award for Best Screenplay.
However, at this time, Zhang Aijia regarded raising children as the biggest thing.
After the birth of her son Oscar, her focus gradually shifted to her children.
The cultivation of children is entirely in accordance with the standards of aristocratic princes.
At a young age, he was required to speak English, play the piano, and calmly face the camera.
Later, she pushed her son to the international children's clothing show and became popular on the screen in Taiwan.
It is also because of his son Oscar that zhang Aijia's fiery personality has changed.
In 2000, three workers who had done renovations for Zhang Aijia kidnapped Oscar on their way out of school and demanded a ransom of 15 million yuan.
In the end, after 6 days of horror, the police successfully rescued Oscar, but this caused a great psychological shadow for the young Oscar.
Since then, Zhang Aijia has also changed like a person, she is no longer so busy, no longer pursue various ideals, she even pushed away all her work, and concentrated on accompanying her son Oscar.
In this way, for three years, Zhang Aijia seemed to have become a full-time mother, in addition to accompanying Oscar, focusing on charity, and also adopted a 9-year-old autistic girl.
Until one day her son Oscar opened his mouth to call "Mother", at that moment she was in tears, her heart could not be calm for a long time, and Zhang Aijia's burden was finally put down.
After this incident, Zhang Aijia became more rational about life. This also makes her works more warm and affectionate.
In 2004, she wrote and directed her own film "20, 30, 40", allowing people of different ages to see themselves in the film.
She integrates the beauty and cruelty of youth, the contradictions and embarrassments of adulthood, and the helplessness of old age into her works.
Let audiences of different ages find their own shadow from the works.
As she once told Rene Liu: "A woman's 30-40 years old is a very beautiful age." After the age of 40, it is time to take responsibility, to the elderly, to children, to families, and to society. ”
Zhang Aijia once rebelled against the impulse and dared to try and express. The freedom on the road of love has always made her controversial and has also suffered various criticisms.
But she just let herself live a wonderful life, and walked around the world with curiosity.
She also never hid her absurdity, nor did she show artificiality because of the grinding of the years.
It was as if time had scratched her skin, but her soul had never changed. Still at ease, like an innocent girl.
Since 2014, Zhang Aijia has been the chairman of the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
She can be said to be a witness to the new wave of Hong Kong and Taiwanese films.
She is also an actress, singer, screenwriter, director, producer, producer, leaving her talent shining in many fields.
On the day she stepped down as president of the Golden Horse Awards, she prepared a pair of canvas shoes for each nominee.
He wrote: "I am only 64 years old, running, the road is still long. ”
Today, 68-year-old Zhang Aijia can no longer afford the price of love.
The once rebellious girl, in the midst of painful struggle, was finally smoothed out by the years.
Many people think Zhang Aijia is lucky, especially many women envy her personality, because she can be her true self.
Her intellectually elegant, unbridled labels also habitually give an impression.
Someone once asked her: "What do you think is the most regrettable thing in your life?" ”
Without hesitation, she replied, "No." ”
Her people live a transparent and comfortable life, and now they are a happy family and a successful career! A real winner in life, how to talk about regrets.
Conclusion
Many people wonder, why can she live like this? Zhang Aijia's own answer was, "I am a person who often hurts myself, but I still have to go to war when I get up."
It's not that she doesn't have a low, she just never gives up exploring and trying.
Just like she did not impress with the years, when she was 64 years old, she still confidently said that she could still run.
In fact, she is looking at this vivid and interesting world in a more positive posture.
In Zhang Aijia, you can see a unique charm, intellectual, warm, true, sharp, and free. She was an alternative of that era, and she had been herself for a long time.
What she wants is to have fun, to do it, to have fun, to live it.
A person who really jumps out of the limit does not care about the limit, but his own heart. Isn't it?
What do you think about Zhang Aijia's way of life?
