After Chen Ting, who was 19 years old at the time, fell in love with 49-year-old Zhang Yimou, she chose to drop out of school for the other party without hesitation, and even caused strong dissatisfaction from her mother.
She pulled her daughter aside at that time: "How did you find a boyfriend who is so old?" Even if he is a big director, you will be gossiped! ”
In addition to the dissatisfaction of Chen Ting's parents, Zhang Yimou's mother is not optimistic about the relationship between the two, she prefers Zhang Yimou's ex-wife Xiao Hua, in the case of both parents are not optimistic and unsupportive, how did Chen Ting break through all difficulties to become Zhang Yimou's wife?
Before Chen Ting, Zhang Yimou also had a relationship with Gong Li at that time, it is said that Gong Li waited for him for a long time and could not wait for Zhang Yimou's marriage letter, but Chen Ting ignored the age difference of 31 years and regardless of her best years, she chose Zhang Yimou without hesitation, what confidence does she have?
Chen Ting was born in an ordinary family in Jiangsu in 1981, she has been interested in dance since she was a child, and her parents are also very supportive of her daughter's choice, sending her to learn dance when she was very young.
When she was older, Chen Ting chose to pursue a career in dance and applied for the higher vocational class of the Beijing Film Academy.
If the normal trajectory is followed, Chen Ting should grow up with a love for dance and meet a man who is not much different in age, and the two get married and have children and live an ordinary and peaceful life.
But life is always full of accidents, and Chen Ting, who felt that she could act in her sophomore year, entered Zhang Yimou's "Happy Time" crew, where she met Zhang Yimou.
At this time, Zhang Yimou not only won three trophys with the work "Lao Jing", but also embarked on the road of directing, and successively filmed works such as "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju Fights Lawsuits", "Alive" and other works, and is a famous director.
The first moment she saw the other party, Chen Ting's eyes couldn't help but exude the vastness of adoration, so she also successfully attracted Zhang Yimou's attention, although she was not chosen by that work at that time, but she and Zhang Yimou had quietly tied a red line.
In fact, Zhang Yimou has not seen excellent girls, after all, he had two relationships before meeting Chen Ting, the first was with his ex-wife Xiao Hua, and the second was with the queen Gong Li.
Zhang Yimou met Xiao Hua and said that it was also a bit of fate, the two had known each other when they were in school, and they had a good impression of each other after getting along.
At that time, the relationship between the two could be described as strong and sweet, even going to the countryside to be a young man did not stop the friendship between them, and Zhang Yimou, who had a privileged family, even lived in a cave with Xiao Hua, often living a hungry life.
The friendship in their teenage years is always pure and simple, and the young people who fell in love also had lovers and eventually became dependents, and gave birth to a daughter Zhang Mo, but unfortunately their fate was not enough for them to go to the end.
As the age grows and the years wear out, the pure love of that year gradually fades in time, and the people who love each other unconsciously become unrecognizable.
After returning to the city, Zhang Yimou became deeply interested in photography, first becoming an actor, and as his works became more and more outstanding, he embarked on the road of acting and directing.
Zhang Yimou's fame is also growing unconsciously, and his work is gradually getting busy, and he is dedicated to his career, ignoring his wife Xiao Hua's caring eyes, and his wife's fatigue in taking care of her daughter.
At this time, he met Gong Li and was attracted by the young and energetic girl, Xiao Hua was not unaware of her husband's wrongness, but when she really saw the love letter that Gong Li gave her husband, she still collapsed.
She has no way to continue to deceive herself, or chooses to give up the relationship, but even if the two have "changed their faces" at the beginning.
At that time, Gong Li still had a lover, and not long after Xiao Hua broke the relationship between the two, Gong Li's lover found that his girlfriend was in love with someone else and hit her angrily.
Zhang Yimou's first reaction after hearing this was his wife's doing, and he angrily asked loudly: "Did you tell her the object?" ”
Xiao Hua's heart ached beyond words, and she was completely dead to this relationship, and she freely ended this relationship, and never mentioned the strong love between the two back then.
After Xiao Hua ended from Zhang Yimou's life, Gong Li took over the role of his wife, and at that time, she almost always followed Zhang Yimou, showing off her girlfriend's identity and longing for her wife's identity.
But she didn't wait for the day Zhang Yimou married her, they may have had feelings between them, but they also disappeared into the years.
The more Gong Li expected to get married, the farther Zhang Yimou was pushed, and finally when she forced marriage again, Zhang Yimou angrily left a sentence: "That piece of paper is so important?" ”
It was this sentence that shattered all of Gong Li's illusions, and she finally understood that this man had indeed never thought of marrying herself, and the love she longed for was given up by her.
But their relationship came to an end, and a girl quietly broke into Zhang Yimou's life, that is, 19-year-old Chen Ting.
At a young age, she has not been immersed in fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, and she still carries the longing and desire for love, and she has no hesitation in opening this love with a 31-year-old age difference under Zhang Yimou's pursuit.
The little girl who is in her youth does not ask for publicity, does not require fame and fortune, but just wants Zhang Yimou to spend more attention on her, but it is precisely this click that hits Zhang Yimou's heart.
For this kind of big director, money is just a string of numbers, and only things that really spend time and energy will be cared about, and Zhang Yimou spent a lot of time on Chen Ting.
Perhaps because of the relatively large age difference, Zhang Yimou almost treats Chen Ting as a daughter, he will appear like a prince charming to solve the difficulties encountered by his little girlfriend, and will also take care of her to give her a sense of security.
And Chen Ting is also smart, she will not want to get anything, but what she pays first, what she pays is to spend the same age to make children for Zhang Yi, and does not use children as bargaining chips in marriage.
Perhaps touched by his girlfriend's lack of want, the two went to see their parents.
Generally speaking, if a daughter is pregnant without her knowledge, her parents will not have a good face for the man, let alone a man with an age difference of 31 years, even if he is Zhang Yimou.
Mother Chen immediately called her daughter aside: "I think it's not appropriate for you two to have such a big age difference." ”
But Chen Ting has already pounced on Zhang Yimou's body, in this war between parents and children without gunsmoke, the child will eventually become the winner, and Chen Ting's parents finally compromised.
Of course, it is important to get the recognition of her parents, but what is more difficult is to get the recognition of Zhang Yimou's mother, Zhang's mother has always been very satisfied with Xiao Hua, the daughter-in-law, she is still worried after her son's divorce, how to make Zhang's mother accept her has become a problem.
When Chen Ting first met Zhang's mother, she sensed the other party's dissatisfaction with her, and she did not quarrel, but always treated Zhang's mother with sincerity, and asked her husband to say good things to herself.
The old man has always valued many children and many blessings, and she gave birth to three children for Zhang Yimou in 6 years, including two sons and a daughter, and will let her grandson say good things in front of the old man.
People's hearts are made of meat, Chen Ting's sincerity was seen by Zhang's mother, and slowly she accepted this daughter-in-law, and since then one of the difficulties for Chen Ting to marry Zhang Yimou has been solved.
But there is another difficulty, that is, Zhang Yimou's first daughter's opinion, the stepmother is difficult to do, Zhang Mo is not much enthusiastic about her, and the relationship between the two reached an impasse at first.
But how could Chen Ting give up easily, she understood that her stepdaughter accepted that she needed time, and she was not in a hurry to make a scene, but she would not let her think of an outsider when the family met, in addition, she would also care about her stepdaughter's life like a mother, often telling Zhang Yimou to send something to her daughter, and Zhang Mo did not forget to care about her after going abroad.
These things will reach Zhang Mo's ears through Zhang Yimou's mouth, Zhang Mo is an adult, and he understands Chen Ting's kindness, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and they gradually become best friends.
During this time that Chen Ting was by Zhang Yimou's side, he quietly let everyone around him accept it, and when the time was ripe, Zhang Yimou naturally chose to get married, and in 2011, 30-year-old Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou received their certificates in a low-key manner.
After marriage, Chen Ting did not interfere with her husband's life with her wife's identity, and she occasionally coquettishly added some fun to the married life of the two.
In addition, she also strictly educates several children, will also take care of Zhang Yimou's mother, she can also do everything in life with her shine in dance, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better under the blessing of marriage.
Some people don't understand why Chen Ting's appearance is not as outstanding as Gong Li, but she still becomes Zhang Yimou's heart, in fact, after seeing everything Chen Ting has done, you can understand the reason.
Chen Ting will work hard to get the recognition of his family for Zhang Yimou, and will also give up her dream for Zhang Yimou and become a housewife.
The marriage of Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting is not the result of one's efforts, while enjoying Zhang Yimou's favor, she is also working hard to overcome difficulties in exchange for the happiness of the two, and there is a reward for paying.
Chen Ting dares to pay so much to get results, but Gong Li has always been a career-minded person, on the one hand, she wants to use marriage to insure the relationship between the two, on the other hand, she is unwilling to give up her career, and it is not surprising that she came to this ending.
The marriage between Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou lasted for 11 years, and Chen Ting also changed from a 19-year-old girl to a 41-year-old beautiful woman, and the relationship between the two over the years does not seem to have faded due to the passage of time.
Zhang Yimou, who has become an international director, still has a lush life, but he never seems to ignore his little wife's feelings, and photos of him and his wife attending events together can often be seen on the Internet, and Zhang Yimou will take the initiative to send flowers as a surprise on Chen Ting's birthday.
In addition, there are photos of a family going out together, even if he is busy with work, Zhang Yimou can still cultivate feelings with his wife.
Year after year, year by year, they will eventually become the most important person in each other's lives.
