Today, for a married woman, dressing is more conservative than that of a single woman.
If it is too exposed, it is easy to be "gagged" by people with bad intentions.
And Tongari, as a married woman, not only dressed revealingly, but even displayed herself in the magazine "Body Art Model".
Although the country has the first "nude model" due to Tongali's dedication.
However, in that era when her mind was not yet open, Tongali was also abused a lot, not only divorced her husband, but her parents also broke off relations with her.
Today, does the 46-year-old regret her choice?
01 Artistic portrait of fame
In September 2002, a number of magazines known as "sure to sell" were suddenly purchased in the major newspaper kiosks.
When the salesman took the magazines out of the package, they all blushed with shame.
Because the cover of this magazine is a naked, beautiful girl.
In those days, the Internet was just emerging, and people's minds were not yet open.
I can't help but be a little ashamed to face such a bold way of shooting.
Indeed, this "Tongali Body Art Portrait" issued by the People's Art Publishing House was indeed too advanced for that era.
But it was also because of the advanced artistic expression that the magazine sold out as soon as it was sold.
The 10,000 copies of the magazine sold almost the same day.
Despite the magazine's popularity, this presentation is not understood by everyone.
Therefore, the invective and spit also rushed to Tongari along with the heat.
Helpless, Tongali could only explain to the audience over and over again: this is just a form of expression of art.
However, in that era, as long as people saw a, they would only think of white flower flesh.
Few people have explored the photographic techniques in this group of photographs and the soft curves presented in different changes of light and shadow.
Although professional art scholars have given this group of photos an affirmation in the field of art.
But the public under the scholars is still boundless accusations and abuse.
Although Tongali has a lot of scolding, I have to say that as the first actress to be a "naked model" in China, she still eats a lot of dividends.
Her popularity was even higher than Lin Chiling and Cecilia Cheung.
Although today's popularity is something she could never have imagined, it has not helped her in her acting career in any way she needs.
Because the characters who come to her are all dancers, and almost all of them have the requirements of not covering their clothes.
In this regard, Tongali was disappointed, and she realized at this time that the label of "naked model" was attached to her and could not be torn off.
Now the popularity has indeed increased a lot compared to before, and there are also invitations from various well-known directors.
But the drama path narrowed, and such a stark acting career made her despair.
However, in addition to her unsatisfactory career, the way people around her treated her really made her have the pain of being "in a quagmire".
02 Meet and know your husband, divorce
Tongali's first husband was director Shen Dong.
The first time she met Shen Dong was when she first entered the entertainment industry.
At that time, Tongali was already a member of the dance team of the National Song and Dance Troupe, and she attracted the attention of director Shen Dong as soon as she entered the crew.
During the filming, Shen Dong's gaze fell on Tongali from time to time.
When he learned that Tangali was only playing a small supporting role in the play, Shen Dong was a little flustered.
Because it means that Tongali will leave the crew after filming those few scenes.
So during this period, Shen Dong took advantage of his position to appear beside Tangali from time to time to give her some guidance.
At that time, although Tongali served iron rice bowls at a young age, her experience was not rich.
When Shen Dong personally came to teach him to act, he was still a little flattered.
As Shen Dong's pursuit of Tongali increased, the simple Tongali soon became immersed in it.
It didn't take long for the two to establish a relationship.
Later, the two parties entered the palace of marriage with the blessing of relatives and friends.
Perhaps the relationship foundation between the two is not very deep, which is why there is a gap after that.
At that time, Shen Dong, as a director, actually belonged to artists in the final analysis.
When Tongari offered to take a portrait of the human body, he only hesitated and agreed.
It's just that he didn't expect this work to be so popular, let alone that this overwhelming public opinion seemed to "swallow" people.
In the end, when Shen Dong saw other men on the set holding this magazine, his emotions could no longer be tightened.
For several days, Shen Dong did not return home.
Tongari, on the other hand, sat in an empty room every night, bursting into tears.
She understands her husband's difficulties, and no one wants his wife to be pointed at by other men.
Therefore, after Shen Dong eased his emotions and went home, Tangali pushed the divorce agreement she had drawn up in front of him.
Shen Dong did not agree at first, but he could not resist Tangali's insistence, and he also understood that there was already a gap between them.
Even if you don't get divorced, it's hard to go back to the past.
In the end, the childless couple did not have any disputes and peacefully ended this brief marriage.
However, not long after the divorce, a phone call from her hometown instantly cooled her heart.
03 The father dislikes breaking off the relationship
"Is that guy in the magazine you?" Father's questioning came over the phone.
Tongali, who had been afraid of her father's majesty since she was a child, did not dare to speak.
"I asked if it was you!" As a veteran, his father's voice was extremely penetrating, which made Tongali, who was already worried, even more frightened.
Tongali, who had been vague for a long time, finally confessed it.
"Withdraw those newspapers immediately! Otherwise, my Tang family would not have your daughter!" After that, Father Tang hung up the phone.
Tangali on the other end of the phone understood Father Tang's anger and threat.
She also understands how much her veteran-turned-father values fame and face.
But the elderly father did not know that the newspapers that had been sold could not be recovered, let alone those sold.
All this undoubtedly forced her to break off relations with her father.
For this reason, Tongari was so anxious that when she first took this set of photos, she deliberately hid it from her father.
The main thing is that she thinks that the magazine will not reach the small county town of her hometown.
Now, when my father knows about this magazine, he must also be rumored by his old family.
Fortunately, Tongali has a mother who dotes on her.
When Tongari rushed home overnight to intercede with her father, but was shut out by her father, it was her mother who quietly opened the door and took her inside.
With Tangali's explanation to her father and her mother's intercession, Tang's attitude eased.
But Father Tang only let Tangali into the house, but he refused to say more to her.
In desperation, Tangali could only cheekily find a friend of Father Tang who studied art and asked him to enlighten Father Tang.
With the joint efforts of Tangali and Father Tang's friends, Father Tang and his daughter got back together.
Father Tang also taught her earnestly: art is a difficult road, once you make a choice, there is no chance of regret.
Tongari had tears in her eyes and focused her head.
This also couldn't help but remind her of when she made this choice, when she was also very difficult.
04The original choice
After getting married, Tongali was still devoted to her career, often shuttling between the stage and the set.
Although her acting career has improved slightly after marriage because of Shen Dong, this unsuccessful situation does not satisfy her.
Some people say that having participated in "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Dragon and Phoenix Wisdom Fighting Panlongfang" is already very good.
But if you know Tongali's childhood resume, you know that her excellence is more than that.
Born in Hefei, Anhui Province, Tongali is not wealthy.
But there is a dignified but loving father, and a mother who almost dotes on her.
When she was very young, her father, who was a soldier, took her to practice physical fitness with her, and after elementary school, her mother sent her to learn dance to develop her temperament.
Influenced by her father, she has been a serious and hard-working girl since she was a child.
Therefore, her dance and study are the best in the class.
Even she was selected by the provincial gymnastics team because of her beautiful physique.
Although she didn't like gymnastics, she practiced seriously and won two provincial gold medals in her first competition.
Later, because of her love, she returned to Tongali to develop the dance industry, and was not only admitted to the Provincial Art Academy, but also went to Beijing Dance Academy for further study.
In the end, he successfully stood out from thousands of competitors and became a member of the dance team of the National Song and Dance Troupe.
In this way, people who have loved art since childhood, and excellent people since childhood are not willing to accept the small achievements of their acting career.
Just when Tongali was struggling with this, the profession of "mannequin" was quietly approaching her.
When she was shooting a lingerie commercial, everyone in the studio was praising her figure.
The photographer couldn't help but propose to Tongari: such a good figure, it's a pity not to leave a memorial.
He even popularized mannequin photos to Tongari after the commercial's shooting.
After so many years of practicing art, Tongali naturally understands mannequins.
However, those are all foreign art, and there is no such painting in China.
So, considering her parents and husband, Tongali refused.
However, the photographer did not give up, but told her that it was the traditional ideas of China that limited the development of art.
Tongali was moved.
Indeed, at that time, the form of artistic expression in China had always been mainly implicit, and there had been no bold reforms.
And women at that time were also in this confinement, and they were not shown.
After considering Tongali for one night, I finally agreed to this shoot.
Although Tongali is nearly half a hundred years old, she is still alone.
Someone once asked her if she regretted ending up so lonely for the sake of art?
Tongali replied with a smile: Maybe she was shaken in the most painful times, but now she does not regret it.
epilogue
The many controversies that art has attracted are nothing new.
As today's netizens say, if art is like the grass and trees on the street, it can be seen everywhere, then what kind of art?
But art comes from life, just above life.
Isn't Tongari's life also one of "art"?
She has devoted her life to love dance and "dedicated" herself to art against the world, and what she has done deserves our praise, not accusation.
