Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting met at the casting scene of "Happy Time".
At that time, the two were 18 years old and 49 years old, although there was a big difference in age.
But in the end, the two fell in love together.
After that, Chen Ting gave up her studies to give birth to three sons for Zhang Yimou.
It was not until the low-key marriage of the two in 2011 that the marriage, which was 31 years apart and postponed for ten years, was known to the audience.
Now that 11 years have passed, has Chen Ting gained her own happiness?
Chen Ting was born in a literary and artistic family in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
Affected by her family atmosphere, Chen Ting when she was a child was not only beautiful but also good at singing and dancing.
In today's terms, Chen Ting is considered to be someone else's child in the mouth of her parents.
Beautiful and versatile.
Because she learned dance from an early age, she also became one of the actors of the Wuxi Dance Troupe at that time.
It was only a chance after this that Chen Ting came into contact with performance.
Since then, her love of acting has become uncontrollable, forcing her to give up her years of practicing dance.
Thus he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and began to formally and systematically contact the actor industry.
In his sophomore year, Zhang Yimou came to Nortel to pick an actress for his new movie "Happy Time".
Originally, Chen Ting did not give hope, but she saw that other students were very enthusiastic to sign up.
So eventually she thought she had to give it a try.
In the end, as expected, Chen Ting was not selected.
Dong Jie became the heroine of this movie, and is also often referred to as "Girl Seeker" in people's mouths today.
It's just that although Chen Ting lost the election.
But she attracted the attention of Zhang Yimou, for the simple reason that the actresses interviewed at that time were more or less wearing light makeup.
But only Chen Ting auditioned in the past with a plain face.
Therefore, this girl naturally left a deep impression on Zhang Yimou.
After that, Zhang Yimou left Chen Ting's contact information.
And from time to time, he would ask her to go out shopping and eat with her.
At that time, Chen Ting was only a sophomore.
Zhang Yimou is already a well-known director in the circle, and he is invited to Zhang Yimou.
Chen Ting also regards it as the director's appreciation and favor for herself.
But I didn't think that as the contact between the two increased, the relationship between the two slowly changed.
Chen Ting began to like this director who was 30 years older than herself.
After that, the two came together to formalize the relationship.
A year later, Chen Ting became pregnant, although Zhang Yimou had no intention of getting married.
But he still took Chen Ting with him to Wuxi to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Although the old couple was shocked by this.
But there is no way to do it, so after some thought, the old couple still acquiesced to this love affair.
In the end, Chen Ting chose to give birth to this child at some insistence.
In the five years after that, Chen Ting gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zhang Yi.
Even if there is still no name.
But Chen Ting still did not rush to cook the life of a family of five very well.
In order to maintain the image of the husband.
For so many years, Chen Ting has been very low-key.
He had never met Zhang Yimou in public.
Therefore, this "underground love" between the two has lasted for ten years.
It wasn't until the eldest son needed a hukou to go to school that Chen Ting finally waited for Zhang Yimou's marriage contract.
In fact, zhang Yimou had a marriage with Xiao Hua long before Gong Li.
Although in the end, the marriage of the two did not come to an end.
However, Xiao Hua was very popular with Zhang Yimou's mother.
Therefore, there is only one daughter-in-law in Zhang Mu's heart, and that is Xiao Hua.
Although Chen Ting has been with her son for ten years, she has also given birth to three children.
However, At the beginning, Zhang Mu was still not waiting to see Chen Ting.
In order to capture the heart of her mother-in-law, Chen Ting can be said to have moved a lot of thoughts.
Knowing that her mother-in-law was older, she offered to take care of her mother-in-law.
Although in the end Zhang Mu was rejected by this set.
But for an old man who is old enough to be a grandmother.
Who could say no to two lovely grandchildren and a beautiful granddaughter?
After that, Chen Ting would take her children to visit from time to time.
And at the children's gracious invitation.
The mother-in-law finally moved in with Chen Ting.
It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times is not easy to get along with
However, all of Chen Ting's requirements for her mother-in-law are resigned.
When the mother-in-law is sick and her husband is out filming and can't come back.
It is also Chen Ting who takes care of the elderly in the hospital day and night.
In the end, the mother-in-law was impressed by Chen Ting and recognized the daughter-in-law.
After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well, and even envied many outsiders.
After the death of her mother-in-law, Chen Ting also single-handedly handled the affairs of her mother-in-law.
And all this did not make Zhang Yimou bother about it.
And in the years that the two have been together, Chen Ting has never thought of relying on her husband.
In order to give birth to a child, Chen Ting had to choose to suspend her studies.
At the first time after the birth of the child, Chen Ting ran back to school to complete her studies.
After graduating from school, Chen Ting completed her graduate studies while taking care of her son.
During this time, she also taught herself tea art, yoga, etc.
Then two children were born in succession.
Chen Ting also took time out of her free time to take care of her children and completed many of her previous dreams.
And so many years with Zhang Yimou.
Chen Ting never thought of letting her husband create an exclusive heroine's work for her.
And it is her unhurried personality that makes Zhang Yimou very fond of her.
Chen Ting also has a set of rules in educating children.
Now the eldest son has also become a well-known young director in the circle.
The second son became a bully in the school, and even the younger daughter sold her own new book.
With the passage of time, Chen Ting has changed from an 18-year-old girl to a 41-year-old mother of three children.
Now that she has matured a lot, has she found the happiness she wants in her heart about marriage?
