Marriage is just a piece of paper - Zhang Yimou.
Xiao Hua, the wife of chaff
Obviously, he has a peasant's face, but he is a person who "goes out of the way" without compromise.
His father graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and his mother was the daughter of a large landowner, so Zhang Yimou lived a trembling life from an early age.
He was not willing to live like this.
So, he sold blood in exchange for a camera, and began to teach himself photography, trying to change his fate by photography.
To this end, his girlfriend Xiao Hua carefully made a camera bag for him, telling him in this way: Go boldly forward, no matter what, I am behind you.
At the age of 28, Zhang Yimou applied for the Beijing Film Academy.
Sadly, he was brushed off because he was overaged. (Note: The age limit for the Department of Photography is 22 years old.) ）
Good people know no age, and good works know no borders.
Zhang Yimou was not convinced, and eventually the brother-in-law of his girlfriend Xiao Hua came forward and helped him hand over the work to Huang Zhen, minister of culture:
"Talent is rare, but this age is too big, and it takes too long to study for four years."
After thinking about it, he finally decided to let Zhang Yimou observe for two years, and then find a way out for himself.
The night before leaving for Beijing, Zhang Yimou took Xiao Hua's hand and said a night's worth of words, making her look forward to their new life with peace of mind.
But Xiao Hua was still worried, she was afraid, afraid that Zhang Yimou would dump herself after seeing the world.
In order to show his sincerity, Zhang Yimou rushed to get on the train and ripped off the testimony with Xiao Hua.
However, a piece of paper cannot bind Zhang Yimou's restless heart.
In 1987, Zhang Yimou returned from school, and when filming his debut film "Red Sorghum", he had a strange relationship with the heroine Gong Li.
According to the two people who could not resist the desire in their hearts, they began a vigorous extramarital affair.
At that time, Zhang Yimou's daughter was four years old, and Gong Li also had a boyfriend who had talked for a long time.
The reason why the two people's private affair was revealed was because of that love letter full of love.
Once, when Xiao Hua washed Zhang Yimou's clothes and pulled out his pockets, a love letter appeared in front of her.
The content is as follows:
You're gone, and you've taken my heart with you.
I think people should live freely and should also be brave in the pursuit of happiness, I want to get married, I want to get your answer...
We have endless words and things together.
Haha, do you know what I'm talking about?
The letter was written by Gong Li, and the 22-year-old expressed her love unreservedly.
Xiao Hua took the letter and went to question, surprisingly Zhang Yimou admitted, and even more unexpectedly, he actually expressed his love for Gong Li equally crazy.
Paper can't contain the fire after all.
Later, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's affairs were well known, and Gong Li's boyfriend Xiao Yang also approached Zhang Yimou and asked him whether he was worthy of his lover's efforts.
But Zhang Yimou said:
My union with my lover was just a misunderstanding when I was in line.
A misunderstanding woke up Xiao Hua and shattered the remaining thoughts in her heart.
In 1988, Xiao Hua and Zhang Yimou formally divorced, ending the ten-year marriage.
Xiao Hua was out of the game, took his daughter away and flew away, allowing Zhang Yimou and Gong Li to fly both.
However, love that is too easy to get will not end well after all.
Sweet lover Gong Li
When she was young, Gong Li was like a piece of jade, and under the tutelage of Zhang Yimou, a master carver, she became shining.
After meeting Zhang Yimou, Gong Li's career has grown by leaps and bounds.
Golden Rooster Award, Hundred Flowers Award, Best Actress Award, a series of awards to get soft.
And Zhang Yimou has also become a world-famous director under the background of Gong Li.
"I'm going to have four kids for him before I'm 35, and then I'm going to be a happy housewife at home without filming."
When she said this, Gong Li's face was full of happiness.
For eight years, they supported each other and made progress together.
Just when everyone thought they were going to enter the palace of marriage, the two suddenly announced their breakup.
There are several versions of the reasons for the breakup.
In the first version, Gong Li forced marriage to no avail.
Some people say that Gong Li went to the Shanghai City God Temple at the age of 28 to calculate a gua, and the old man told her to get married before the age of thirty.
When she returned that day, Gong Li carefully talked to Zhang Yimou about their relationship, but Zhang Yimou said:
Marriage is just a piece of paper, why care so much.
It was their eighth year together, and it was that day that she realized that Zhang Yimou could not give her the marriage she wanted.
So the two of them parted ways and rejoiced.
In the second edition, Gong Li had an affair with someone else.
At that time, Gong Li was young and beautiful, and the most important thing around her was suitors, whether it was a rich man or a director.
It is said that Zhang Yimou's old partner Zhang Weiping did not like Gong Li, so he arranged Gong Li according to these arrangements, saying that she had an affair with others.
After the lack of trust between the two, the feelings naturally faded.
In the third version, the ex-wife and daughter do not accept Gong Li.
Zhang Yimou's daughter has publicly accused Gong Li, saying that she can't understand why Gong Li wants to stifle her contact with her father.
It is said that Zhang Yimou had been chatting with his daughter, which caused Gong Li to be "jealous".
The two had a big fight and finally broke up.
Exactly which version is true we have no way of knowing.
The only thing I know is that the year after breaking up with Zhang Yimou, Gong Li married a president named Huang Hexiang.
Everyone says that there is an element of gambling in this marriage.
And it is.
Thirteen years after their marriage, the two ended their relationship with divorce.
Gong Li, 46 years old and three years divorced, was asked again about the concept of marriage and love, and blurted out what Zhang Yimou had said to her:
"I think marriage, it's just a piece of paper."
Before meeting Zhang Yimou, Gong Li thought very innocently, love is love, but after meeting Zhang Yimou, she understood that love cannot represent all.
The two who had been separated for eleven years worked together again, and the media was very boiling, thinking that the two were very likely to get back together.
But then Zhang Yimou's supernatural incident occurred, and we learned that this is all wishful thinking of outsiders.
Married chen ting for the second time
In March 2013, an eighteen-line actor named He Jun threw a "bombshell" in the entertainment industry:
"Big director Zhang Yimou remarried and overspring"
As soon as the news was released, it instantly aroused public opinion.
Some netizens are not dead hearted, and asked on social platforms: whether the message is true.
He Jun directly threw out a photo of Zhang Yimou and his remarried wife Chen Ting hugging on the social platform.
Who is He Jun? Why did Zhang Yimou expose?
And all this has to start from Zhang Yimou's film "Jinling Thirteen Chao".
Before filming the film, Zhang Yimou signed a confidentiality agreement with all the actors participating in the film: in order to create a sense of mystery in the film, the content was not allowed to leak.
But He Jun and several other actresses, in order to satisfy their vanity, posted photos of themselves wearing cheongsam in the crew to social platforms.
Countless netizens watched the discussion, resulting in the rising popularity of the crew.
The entertainment reporter who got the gossip news squatted outside the crew day and night to secretly shoot, which seriously interfered with the filming progress of the film.
Zhang Yimou directly removed He Jun and others from the crew in a fit of rage.
It was she who violated the rules first, so she was not dissatisfied in the face of Zhang Yimou's removal.
But when she learned that the actress Fu Lulu, who was "expelled" with him, remained in the crew, she hated Zhang Yimou.
As the old saying goes, take a step back from the sea and the sky, and endure the calm of the wind and waves.
However, the more she thought about it, the more unfair she felt, and in a fit of anger, she broke out Zhang Yimou's super-life melon on the Internet.
He also swore that:
"Zhang Yimou's wife is 31 years younger than him, and her family lives in Wuxi."
As soon as the news came out, online public opinion was a piece, and the relevant departments immediately launched an investigation into Zhang Yimou in response to the online revelations.
Under the investigation of the Wuxi family planning department, Zhang Yimou and his wife came forward to admit to Chaosheng and paid a fine of 7.48 million yuan.
With the conclusion of the Chaosheng incident, Zhang Yimou's "shadow lover" that he had hidden for more than ten years was also fully entrusted at this moment.
In 1999, Chen Ting, who was only 18 years old, met 49-year-old Zhang Yimou in a show.
Quiet and gentle, she made Zhang Yimou, who has been floating in the show business circle for most of her life, feel excited.
As a result, they "fell in love" with a difference of 31 years.
After that, Zhang Yimou and her agreed on three chapters: during love, they could not reveal their whereabouts, could not identify themselves, and could not even mention Zhang Yimou's name.
No complaints, no dissatisfaction, willing to be Zhang Yimou's shadow lover.
Zhang Yimou wanted a son to pass on to the family, and Chen Ting gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him without complaint or regret.
Whether it is companionship or education, she is single-handedly arranged, never letting Zhang Yimou worry about "trivial matters", and never asking or questioning Zhang Yimou's decision.
The virtuous wife and good mother were achieved to the extreme by Chen Ting.
Some people say that Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting have an agreement:
Every time Chen Ting gives birth to a child, Zhang Yimou pays 10 million yuan and gives a villa, and what she has to do is to give birth quietly.
Whether this agreement is true or not, we do not know.
What is known is that Zhang Yimou only has children and does not marry, which leads to their children growing up to be "black households" until they are teenagers.
School can only go to private school, and the father's column is always blank when filling out the form.
What I only know is that Zhang Yimou has a birthday, and Chen Ting can only wish for it on the social platform.
She put herself and her three children on Zhang Yimou's birthday photos and wrote: Pretend to be together.
In the face of his wife's blessing, Zhang Yimou did not participate and did not respond, even if Chen Ting's move was like a sensational clown, he was indifferent.
If it were not for the exposure of the "supernatural incident", Chen Ting might have been hidden in the "darkness" for the rest of her life.
If it were not for the fact that the child's new school must be registered, Chen Ting would not have received a marriage certificate.
So you say, what is the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting?
Saying that true love is too false, saying that utilization is too extreme, in my opinion, the most appropriate description is "interest exchange".
All in all, no matter what it is, it cannot be denied that Chen Ting is the biggest winner in this marriage.
Defeat Gong Li "on the top" and have a well-known director and three filial children.
Don't worry about eating or wearing, having a reputation and having money, compared to what she got, her "dark" decade counted for something.
