What kind of magical circle of friends does Zhang Yimou have?
In the circle of friends of the old strategist, there is Obama, a former political magnate in the United States!
This is not an exaggeration, it is a fact.
On May 12, a netizen posted a set of photos, which not only exposed Zhang Yimou's recent situation, but also accidentally exposed his powerful circle of friends.
Netizens revealed that Zhang Yimou and Obama each attended their children's graduation ceremony as parents.
This set of photos is so informative!
You know, the Obama family is a Harvard University "contractor", and the only youngest daughter who does not study at Harvard is admitted to USC University because of her love of art.
Barack Obama, who is not the president of the United States, is also popular in USC, and with his gray hair, he is very bright in the crowd, holding coffee and greeting the people around him.
Being able to attend the graduation ceremony with Obama, this "cow" is enough to blow for a lifetime, but so far Zhang Yimou has not shared the news related to it on social accounts, which shows that the old strategist is thoughtful.
The son of a well-known Chinese director and the daughter of the President of the United States are classmates, which can make up several romance and suspense novels.
Previously, Zhang Yimou and his wife have been repeatedly questioned that they have immigrated to the United States, and the exposure of this set of photos has also confirmed that Zhang Yimou's response to immigration rumors in 2021 is true, it turns out that they really went to the United States to accompany their children to school.
As the second-generation "rollover" gradually enters the normalization, I wonder if Zhang Yimou's children have overturned?
Children who have been deeply calculated by the old "scheme"
Eldest daughter Zhang Mo (born to ex-wife)
Zhang Mo has won the true biography of Zhang Yimou and has become the representative of the younger generation of directors, and has now won the New Director of the Year Award and the Best Debut Award.
Faced with his daughter's achievements, Zhang Yimou said proudly: I have never won any awards she won.
Zhang Mo is a young woman of literature and art, she has published articles in many well-known newspapers and magazines.
At the age of 16, she was admitted to Columbia University.
Zhang Mo's life goals became clearer and clearer, and she wanted to become another "Zhang Yimou", so she went to New York University to major in directing.
Today's Zhang Mo is a Chinese mainland female director.
Although Zhang Mo had a successful career, her childhood was a miserable storm.
Zhang Yimou fell in love with Gong Li because of the filming of "Red Sorghum", and since then Gong Li has become the woman next to Zhang Yimou, and many people envied the pair of lovers at that time.
But Gong Li and Zhang Yimou's shadow followed and hurt Zhang Yimou's ex-wife, and even hurt the young Zhang Mo!
Zhang Mo once said: The person I hate the most in this life is Gong Li, because Gong Li ruined her childhood and ruined her home!
The biggest attraction of the "67th Cannes Film Festival" is the century of Zhang Yimou, Zhang Mo and Gong Li!
At the scene of the film festival, Zhang Yimou introduced the enemy Gong Li to Zhang Mo.
At that time, many people thought that Zhang Mo would let Gong Li not come to the stage, but Zhang Mo did something that everyone did not expect, and she hugged Gong Li.
Zhang Yimou also smiled happily when he saw this scene.
Perhaps Zhang Mo, who has grown up and become "Zhang Yimou", can finally understand the reason for the existence of that relationship outside of morality.
Today's Zhang Mo is not only Zhang Yimou's daughter, she is also a representative of the new generation of directors, she has her own name, her name is Zhang Mo.
Eldest son Zhang Yinan (Chen Tingsheng)
Once, Zhang Yinan was proud of his father Zhang Yimou, and at this time, Zhang Yimou was proud of Zhang Yinan!
The photos of Zhang Yinan's graduation ceremony were not exposed, but from the smile on Zhang Yimou's face, he was pleased with Zhang Yinan's success.
Netizens who have watched "Man Jiang Hong" should have an impression of a red-faced clerk during the trial, he is Zhang Yimou's eldest son Zhang Yinan.
Zhang Yinan, following his father's example, hopes to become a good director, and he also likes photography.
Zhang Yimou is also extremely partial to his eldest son, and even in public, he does not hesitate to praise.
I believe that with the help of his father's strong circle of friends, Zhang Yinan, who has graduated, will definitely ride the wind and waves.
Second son Zhang Yiding (Chen Tingsheng)
Zhang Yiding's appearance is relatively high.
It's a pity that he doesn't rely on his appearance, and has become a child of "someone else's family" with his excellent talent.
On April 2, 2022, Chen Ting, a mother, shared her child's achievements.
She said:
This day happened to be Zhang Yimou's birthday, and Chen Ting called it the best birthday gift.
Now that his career has been successful and his family is harmonious, what Zhang Yimou wants to see most is that his children become talented, and for him, a roomful of collections may not be as good as the children.
The youngest daughter Zhang Yijiao (Chen Tingsheng)
Zhang Yijiao is a post-00 generation, her eyebrows look like her mother, and her nose and mouth look like her father.
Zhang Yijiao is very special to Zhang Yimou, because the exposure of her youngest daughter lets people know that Zhang Yimou did such a big thing in a muffled voice.
Since paying the fine, Zhang Yimou has been a lot calmer, and has been photographed by the media many times walking with his family.
Zhang Yijiao's talent in painting is that God is enjoying food!
Ten-year-old Zhang Yijiao can produce a picture book!
Mentioning this daughter, Zhang Yimou was also proud.
Chen Ting also often shares Zhang Yijiao's works, Chen Ting said that her youngest daughter Zhang Yijiao is a perfectionist, and if a certain line is not handled well, she will tear it all down and redraw.
Now 73 years old, Zhang Yimou has lived his life as the envy of others, and everyone should envy the achievements of his children more than Zhang Yimou's personal achievements.
At the beginning, Zhang Yimou was fined more than 7 million yuan, and now look at the achievements of these children, do you think it is worth it?
There is no right one, only the right one
Among the three women in Zhang Yimou's life, Chen Ting is undoubtedly the most successful.
Some people say that Chen Tingsheng is young and beautiful, after all, she is 31 years younger than Zhang Yimou, and her mother is 11 years younger than Zhang Yimou!
But can't the great director Zhang Yimou contact a younger and more beautiful woman than Chen Ting?
Chen Ting must be the most suitable person to appear at the right time.
Zhang Yimou and his ex-wife were together with Gong Li after their divorce, and the two were almost inseparable from each other attending the event together, even if everyone recognized Gong Li as Zhang Yimou's other half, but Gong Li still couldn't wait for a marriage document.
Gong Li, who had been consumed for eight years, finally couldn't help but force Zhang Yimou to marry, but Zhang Yimou sent Gong Li away with the promise of what value a piece of paper could have.
In 1999, 19-year-old Chen Ting met 50-year-old Zhang Yimou, and under Chen Ting's fierce pursuit, Lao Mozi sprouted, and he was secretly with Chen Ting.
Chen Ting is also very smart, did not want a commitment, did not ask for a marriage letter...
Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou did not give up the opportunity for self-growth during their time together, and she completed her studies.
In 2001, Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting got married, Gong Li took eight years to get a promise, and Chen Ting only took two years to get Zhang Yimou's approval, in addition to Chen Ting's own forbearance and efforts, more importantly, Zhang Yimou's heart wanted to stabilize.
Chen Ting was just the most suitable person who appeared next to Zhang Yimou at the most suitable time.
In 2013, because of the superbirth incident, people knew the little woman Chen Ting behind Zhang Yimou, and many people ridiculed this combination of old husband and young wife at that time, thinking that Chen Ting was a woman with a scheming heart.
But over the years, Chen Ting did not hype the identity of "Zhang Yimou's wife", she became the strongest virtuous assistant behind Zhang Yimou, and cultivated her three children into talents.
As a big director, Zhang Yimou's work is very stressful and has a lot of work content, and he cannot accompany his children for a long time.
It can be seen that the excellence of the three children is directly related to Chen Ting's educational philosophy and educational methods.
Party A and Party B
Zhang Yimou is a representative of China's powerful directors, he has directed many national events that have satisfied the 1.4 billion parties, and each time he can just use cultural soft power elements to introduce the booming China to the world.
The Beijing Olympic Games directed by Zhang Yimou uses Analects to tell the world about China's vast and profound traditional culture.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Zhang Yimou used the story of a snowflake to show the world the confidence and strength of a big country.
At the Beijing Film Festival just past, Zhang Yimou won the highest honor as a director, the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Looking at the heavy trophy in his hand, Zhang Yimou said: I will continue to study and continue to adhere to the cause of Chinese film culture.
The 73-year-old Zhang Yimou is still practicing "living to be old, learning to be old", and from his words and deeds, we can also understand why his four children are so good.
Parents are copies of their children, and the excellence of Zhang Yimou's children is inseparable from the cultivation of correct educational concepts.
It is not only the educational environment that can make children excellent, but also the family education environment.
Zhang Yimou has never talked about his educational philosophy in public, but from his praise for his children in public, it can be roughly inferred that he is a promoter of appreciative education.
Encouragement and criticism as mutual aspects of force, acting on children will produce different results.
Although encouragement can help children build strong self-confidence, blindly superficially based encouragement makes children arrogant and even lacks the ability to resist pressure.
True appreciation education is to encourage children to do specific things, rather than simply saying some general language such as "you are awesome, you are so good".
"Mou girl" Liu Haocun because of his relatively young age, emotional expression was not in place during filming, NG five or six times in a row, the surrounding staff has been obviously impatient.
At this time, Zhang Yimou said: A little girl, what is the use of you urging her, you might as well give her some time and let her slowly digest and grow slowly.
With Zhang Yimou's encouragement, Liu Haocun's emotions were gradually released.
At this time, Zhang Yimou praised appropriately: "You are now like an old actor, and you have already played beyond normal."
This sentence made Liu Haocun's confidence doubled, and the strong appreciation education ability was transformed into a driving force to promote Liu Haocun's progress and promote the improvement of film quality.
Previously, Zhang Yimou's representative of word-of-mouth directors, at this moment, he has become the representative of Godson Youfang.
In his later years, Zhang Yimou witnessed the progress and achievements of his children, which is his greatest blessing!
