At the Beijing Film Festival, 54-year-old Chen Hong looked tired, even if the beauty will age, but Chen Hong's aging still surprised many people. Facts have also proved that on this red carpet, the decency of Chen Kaige's family was torn apart.
A red carpet that shredded Chen Kaige and Chen Hong's "decency"
When she was young, Chen Hong was called the beauty of the "hall", and her appearance conformed to the traditional Chinese aesthetic, with a face like a peach blossom and smooth facial lines.
But today's Chen Hong has gradually transformed from an actor to a producer, but he does not have the face of "spring breeze". Not only is she wrinkled, but she also shows signs of blessing.
Chen Hong and Zhang Ziyi were in the same frame, and although they were only ten years old, they looked like they were a generation apart. She eventually became what she called an "old woman".
And when Chen Hong and Chen Kaige attended the event together, the two often showed affection in a high profile, inseparable, and had a happy smile on their faces.
Although they were now holding hands, Chen Hong looked visibly haggard.
Not only Chen Hong's "ugly", Chen Kaige's actions at the Beijing Film Festival also attracted ridicule from netizens, who said that he would show "stepping low and holding high" vividly.
Next to him was Zhang Ziyi, and seeing Zhang Songwen passing by, he pushed Zhang Ziyi away and pulled Zhang Songwen to his side to talk cordially, making Zhang Ziyi embarrassed.
It is worth mentioning that this time Chen Kaige took the "Volunteers" crew to participate in the North Film Festival, and his son Chen Feiyu is also one of them, and he still has a May 1st movie "Countdown to Say Love You" to be screened.
Although the intimate photo incident that made a lot of noise some time ago has not yet subsided, his resources are still very good, but he looks a little listless and tired.
Facts have also proved that Chen Kaige's family seems to have lived as a "joke", and 27 years ago, Ni Ping, who left, made the right choice.
The chaotic love history of Merry Director Chen Kaige
Chen Kaige, 24, became a worker at a Beijing film printing factory and met his first wife, Sun Jialin, the daughter of architect Sun Fangchui.
After graduating from university, Chen Kaige successfully entered the Beijing Children's Film Studio, while his wife went to Canada for further study. The two were separated, and the marriage almost existed in name only.
When Chen Kaige was 32 years old, he finally emerged in the industry with the movie "Yellow Earth". Chen Kaige, who hoped to make better achievements, rejected Sun Jialin's offer to let him settle in the United States, and the two's nine-year marriage ended.
After the divorce, the talented Chen Kaige attracted Hong Huang, who was known as a "famous ruffian". After watching "Yellow Earth" directed by Chen Kaige, Hong Huang appreciated his talent very much and also pursued Chen Kaige.
After the two were together, Chen Kaige went to the United States for further study, and married Hong Huang, who had American citizenship, and got a green card.
Hong Huang has a lot of contacts and resources, with the support of his wife, coupled with Chen Kaige's own talent, Chen Kaige's "Sing While Walking" was successfully shortlisted for the Palme d'Or in Cannes.
Chen Kaige, who received both fame and fortune, no longer concealed his ambition and wanted to be a "man on a person", and he had an ambiguous relationship with Xu Qing, which disappointed Hong Huang, who pursued romance and ideals, and finally filed for divorce.
But the merry Chen Kaige was favored by the beauty again, and he met Ni Ping. At this time, 39-year-old Chen Kaige had already experienced two failed marriages, so he also experienced the shackles of marriage.
Chen Kaige's idea is that unless he meets his ideal lover, he will not easily step into marriage. So he said to Ni Ping, "I'm an unmarried person." Although Ni Ping is a traditional woman in her bones, she accepts "no name and no share" in the face of her sweetheart.
With "Virtuous Inner Help", Chen Kaige put his heart on his career, and in 1993, the classic "Farewell My Concubine" came out. Chen Kaige also successfully won the Palme d'Or and became a famous director.
Ni Ping, who thought that she could keep the clouds open and see the moon, and her 5-year love run with Chen Kaige came to an end. Chen Kaige is getting married, but the bride is not her, and the "newcomer" Chen Hong appears.
The first meeting between Chen Kaige and Chen Hong was on the set of "Farewell My Concubine". Chen Hong and friends came to visit Leslie Cheung, but they bumped into Chen Kaige's eyes.
At that time, Chen Hong was known as the "first beauty in the mainland" because of the role of a mink cicada in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and her appearance was outstanding. In the follow-up preparations for the movie "Wind and Moon", Chen Kaige took the opportunity to invite Chen Hong to audition, and thus met Chen Hong, who was in his heart.
Although the heroine of "Wind and Moon" was finally played by utilitarian, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong got closer and closer, and the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
When Chen Hong became pregnant and held up her big belly to find Ni Ping for a showdown, Chen Kaige fell into a dilemma. On one side is Ni Ping, who has been accompanying him for many years and is virtuous, and on the other hand, Chen Hong, who is full of amorousness, he doesn't know how to choose.
And Ni Ping can be said to be very humble for the sake of 6 years of relationship, she even wants to help Chen Hong raise children, hoping that Chen Kaige stays. But Ni Ping knew in her heart that she was no better than "Red Rose" Chen Hong after all, and after going through the difficult days, she chose to give up.
In 1996, Chen Kaige got married again and hugged the beauty.
Chen Hong, who retired from the front of the stage to the background
In fact, Chen Hong was not so happy after marriage. In 1998, when Chen Kaige was filming "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin", because of negligence in fund management and a debt of $600,000, Chen Hong took out his savings to help him fill in the loopholes.
Family expenses are too much, Chen Hong returned to filming to support her family, and when the pressure was reduced, she moved from the front of the stage to the backstage, became a producer, and became Chen Kaige's right-hand man.
With Chen Hong's amazing appearance and acting talent, she won awards in the film and television industry as an actor, but there was only one nomination for the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actress. For Chen Kaige, Chen Hong also went abroad to study film production.
When Chen Kaige pursued art, Chen Hong took on the trivial matters, negotiating business, script coordination, and even actor management.
At the press conference of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", Chen Hong was worried about Chen Kaige's body and had to block alcohol for him. It can be said that Chen Hong's life after marriage is also full of twists and turns.
As a famous director, Chen Kaige lace has a lot of news, and the producer's work is also very busy, not to mention the second son Chen Feiyu, who is not "worry-free".
Chen Feiyu entered the circle from starring in the movie "Secret Fruit", which has been tepid for many years, originally relying on "Ignite Me, Warm You" to get out of the circle a little, and it didn't take long for him to be exposed to a private photo incident, and his reputation was greatly affected.
It is said that the angry Chen Hong and Chen Kaige punished Chen Feiyu for kneeling for a day. It is said that "life is born from the heart", Chen Hong's aging and exhaustion today may also be inseparable from the influence of family affairs.
In the past, the "Arthur" family was mentioned, because Chen Kaige's sentence "Arthur please sit" in the variety show "Familiar Taste" was interesting to netizens. Now when the "Arthur" family is mentioned, they seem to be a "joke".
Ni Ping, who left, is the final "winner"
This also indirectly shows that Ni Ping's difficult choice 27 years ago was correct. Even if she was ridiculed by Chen Hong as "unattractive", Ni Ping proved herself with facts.
After leaving Chen Kaige, Ni Ping no longer acted as the woman behind her, but won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, Huabiao Award for Best Actress, Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress and other awards on her own. She also received the Golden Microphone Special Honor Award and the Ice Heart Prose Award.
Although Ni Ping has experienced an unhappy marriage and a child with congenital cataracts, she eventually tied the knot with director Yang Yaya, who has collaborated many times, and found true love.
Host Xu Gehui said in the program that she and Ni Ping hosted a total of five programs for the event, and Yang Yaya has always been by Ni Ping's side.
And now Ni Ping's family is happy, although the child has not entered the circle, but he is also living happily and freely. Judging from the video shared by Ni Ping's social platform, she also has a smile on her face.
Out of that "undignified" day, Ni Ping worked hard to leave that man, and it was she who made the right choice.
