Nowadays, when it comes to the name Su Yan, it seems that few people pay attention, although several works she participated in this year have been released one after another, one of which is "Shocking Rescue" is still cooperating with her current husband, Hong Kong actor Luo Jialiang.
But both are supporting roles, and there are few shots.
It can be said that the splash of their participation in this work together is not as loud as the voice of Luo Jialiang who was suddenly exposed by the Hong Kong media as suspected of cancer a few days ago, but he soon came forward to deny it.
However, the public still instantly remembered Luo Jialiang's suspected "abandonment of his wife and son", so he also had some memory of Su Yan, an actress who was not popular.
In fact, Su Yan has the potential to be popular, and she won the favor of Zhang Yimou since her debut, and later acted in "Long Hate Song" starring Leung Ka Fai and "Color Ring" directed by Ang Lee.
Looking at the stills again, Su Yan is a uniquely beautiful oriental female posture, a little bumping Chen Shu or Ni Ni, which has a special charm.
It's just that during the rising period of her career, there were repeated negative news about suspected involvement in other people's marriages, and finally married Luo Jialiang, who was also married for the second time, washing her hands and making soup.
However, looking at it now, Su Yan, who is about to turn 40, still feels a little pity.
1. "Mou Girl" debuted
Su Yan was born in 1974 to a wealthy family in Jinan, Shandong Province, and she grew up in the compound of the Shandong Institute of Building Research.
Because of his good looks and outstanding height, when he was in middle school, Su Yan applied for the Jinan Middle School Students Song and Dance Troupe and worked as a newsman in the troupe.
When she participated in the middle school students' campus drama festival, she was discovered by a teacher and thought that she was very talented in acting, so she suggested to go to the Shandong Drama Theater to learn from a teacher.
In this way, after a period of study, Su Yan attacked the North Shadow in 1992, but returned with failure.
But she was not discouraged, but the following year she stormed the Shandong Academy of Arts and became the younger sister of excellent actresses such as Ni Ping, Chen Jin, and Wang Jing.
Due to her outstanding temperament, Su Yan was chosen by Zhang Yimou when she was in her first year of college and invited her to play the role of a little nurse in her movie "Alive".
At that time, Zhang Yimou had successfully won Gong Li, an international superstar, so Su Yan was able to debut in the works gathered by big names, which can be regarded as the peak of his debut.
It was also because of the filming of this work that she met Tao Jing, a film sound engineer who was 16 years older than herself.
The other party has previously participated in the production of many classic works such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Child King" and "Singing While Walking", and has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Recording for many times, and is known as "China's No. 1 Sound Engineer" by the outside world.
It is said that the two sparked at that time, how the man still had a family, Su Yan, who was only 19 years old at the time, did not say anything, just waited with peace of mind, but no one thought that this would be more than 10 years.
After filming "Alive", she returned to school to continue to concentrate on her studies, so she did not appear on the screen for several years.
At this time, Luo Jialiang, who was developing far away in Hong Kong, had already become popular by starring in the villain Xu Jiali in the fashion drama "Heaven and Earth Boy", and three years later, he took out the role of the male number one Ye Wing Tim in the business war drama "Genesis", which is a classic image of Hong Kong drama in the hearts of the audience.
It was not until 1997 that 23-year-old Su Yan filmed the TV series "Smiling Sky", cooperating with the famous director Gao Xixi.
Her appearance is not particularly beautiful, but it is very tasteful, especially when wearing a cheongsam, it gives people a feeling of style.
But unfortunately, there is a stage, although Su Yan has shot a lot of works, there is no explosion.
However, it is worth mentioning that in 1998, she played the female number two Wen Xiaoya in the TV series "Where the Dream Begins" directed by "Big Yard Boy" Ye Jing.
This in itself is a story about the children of the big yard, but Su Yan has not stayed in this environment, and everything can only rely on performance.
But she acted very well, and it is said that after watching the work, Chen Kaige, who was also a disciple of the big courtyard, once asked someone to bring her a message and recognized her performance.
In the same year, Luo Jialiang, who was far away in Hong Kong, was caught up in a scandal with actress Xuanxuan, and had to marry his first love girlfriend Fang Minyi, who had been with him for 20 years, for the sake of word of mouth.
The following year, they gave birth to their son Luo Yucheng, but the days became more and more tasteless, and Luo Jialiang had come forward more than once to complain that there was nothing to say between himself and his wife.
And Su Yan, who has been floating in the circle for several years, suddenly ushered in an opportunity.
2. Waited 14 years for "love"
In 2000, she appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and performed the sketch "Youth Covenant" with Guo Da and Sun Tao.
Two years later, Su Yan starred in her first heroine work "Blue Calla Lily", although the audience was not impressed, but it was veteran actress He Saifei who played a supporting actress for her.
And "Blue Calla Lily" is also a sister to the anti-corruption drama "Red Carnation" starring Liu Bei, which can be said to have a mass base.
After that, Su Yan spent the days of becoming a heroine, and starred in "Anti-Smuggling Unit", "New Dao Ma Dan", and even "Unforgiven" with Chen Baoguo.
But what really attracted the public's attention was in 2005, when she participated in the movie "Long Hate Song" starring Cheng Xiuwen and Leung Ka-fai.
This work once made the heroine Zheng Xiuwen enter the play too deeply, resulting in depression, and had no choice but to leave the entertainment industry temporarily, which was also a popular drama that year.
And Jiang Lili, played by Su Yan, is the female number two.
This is a woman with an innate and unique style, she is complex and changeable, although not as overwhelming as the heroine Wang Qiyao, but she is still a existence that cannot be ignored.
In the end, Su Yan was also nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress Award for this role, and was "named and praised" by many big-name directors such as Wong Kar-wai, Kwan Jinpeng and Er Dongsheng.
In the same year, it is said that Tao Jing finally divorced his ex-wife and married Su Yan in the autumn of that year.
At that time, Tao Jing was still Zhang Yimou's royal partner, and he was featured in works such as "Full of Golden Armor in the City", "Love of Hawthorn Trees" and "Return".
Not only that, he also served as the sound director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, and in the same year, he became the sound director of the first Chinese blockbuster Hollywood blockbuster because he served as the sound director of the Hollywood blockbuster "The King of Kung Fu".
On the other hand, Su Yan's career is also at its peak, because of her excellent performance in "Long Hate Song", Su Yan was able to be invited by Lee Anxiang to play the role of Mrs. Matthew in his new movie "Lust and Caution" a year later.
Although Mrs. Matthew does not appear many times in the play, and each time is at the mahjong table, she has a variety of styles and a mysterious past.
According to Su Yan himself:
"Mrs. Ma actually had a period of time, and in the process of playing mahjong, she discovered the relationship between the heroine Wang Jiazhi and Mr. Yi, so she was also jealous..."
It can be said that Su Yan is the most dazzling female character in "Lust Caution" besides Tang Wei and Chen Chong, and has also left a deep impression on the audience, even Li An praised her as a "sexy little wild cat".
Although his career is developing well, Tao Jing and Su Yan's marriage has problems.
In 2007, because of the filming of the TV series "Perfect Ending", Su Yan met Hong Kong star Luo Jialiang who went to the mainland to develop.
Luo Jialiang went to the mainland in 2003 to develop, because after he married his wife Fang Minyi and had children, his relationship deteriorated, and at the same time he had an ambiguous relationship with his gossip girlfriend Xuan Xuan, and was often photographed as intimate peers, resulting in a decline in word of mouth.
When his career and reputation both fell to a trough, Luo Jialiang had to choose to go north to develop, and he and his wife also agreed to separate in early 2007.
In other words, Su Yan just appeared when Luo Jialiang and his wife's marriage was about to break down, but she did not completely break up with her husband Tao Jing at that time.
It is rumored that it is precisely because of the appearance of the personable Luo Jialiang that Su Yan completely gave up his first hard-won marriage.
However, the parties did not make any response to this, and the specific situation is only hearsay.
3. Suspected re-insertion
In 2008, Luo Jialiang finally parted ways with his first love girlfriend and first wife Fang Minyi, who had been with him for nearly 30 years.
At that time, according to Hong Kong media reports, it was said that he chose to break up by leaving the house clean, leaving all the assets of nearly 40 million yuan in the family to his wife and son, and only taking 2 million in cash himself.
Six months after the divorce, Luo Jialiang held a high-profile engagement banquet with Su Yan in January 2009, and the two held a wedding as agreed nine months later.
According to people familiar with the matter, the total cost of this wedding is about 800,000 yuan, including 14 tables of banquets and 300,000 yuan worth of dresses, wedding dresses, diamond rings and other expenses.
Although there is a 12-year age difference between the two, because Luo Jialiang is well maintained, he still looks talented and beautiful standing together.
It's just that this low-key marriage is still questioned: some netizens directly scolded them for cheating.
But the two still generously shared their love experience, and it is said that during the filming, they felt very familiar when they saw each other.
During a meal, Su Yan suddenly mentioned: "Whoever can cure my skin sensitivity, I will marry whom", Luo Jialiang immediately remembered after hearing it, and then introduced an expert he knew to her.
After the two achieved positive results, Su Yan was also noticed by the Hong Kong media, so he took a deep look at her background.
According to Hong Kong media reports, she comes from a wealthy background, is proficient in three Chinese, likes to travel, and even has private jets.
After marrying Luo Jialiang, they have been living in a duplex villa in Beijing, which is quite comfortable.
In July 2012, Su Yan found out that she was pregnant, so Luo Jialiang immediately pushed off all the appointments and activities and concentrated on accompanying his new wife.
In April of the following year, she was about to give birth, but caught up with her father, who was dying of illness in a hospital in Hong Kong.
It is said that Fang Minyi, who was Luo Jialiang's ex-wife at that time, went to take care of it, and later Luo's father died, and Luo Jialiang was not around.
It is still Fang Minyi who helps his family to handle the fate of the elderly, and it is said that on the day of the funeral, he actually appeared three hours late, which caused the anger of the family.
Therefore, Luo Jialiang was charged with "unfilial piety" again, and the popularity of passers-by plummeted.
Despite this, he was still very good to Su Yan, and after giving birth successfully, Su Yan visibly reduced his production.
Behind this is the support of her husband, Luo Jialiang has publicly stated more than once:
"I go filming, working, making money, that's for sure, because I'm a man."
Compared with Su Yan, who only appears to shoot one work a year, he is quite good, although he is no longer as beautiful as when he was "TVB brother", and often matches young actors.
After 2015, Luo Jialiang filmed up to 8 plays a year, but all of them had little effect and no splashes.
Some time ago, he also entered the live broadcast industry, but was found by the outside world to be old, until now Luo Jialiang was rumored to be suspected of being ill.
Although he immediately denied it, the 62-year-old "old age" still fights like this, and it really makes people worry about whether the body can eat well.
But there seems to be no way, because the family has wives and young daughters to provide for - after all, this is also the cause and effect of the choice that year.
And Su Yan is obviously not a traditional and forgiving woman like his ex-wife Fang Minyi, she even came out to ridicule the other party, publicly revealing in the media: "Luo Jialiang is a person who likes himself who pursues utopian ideals."
It's just that I don't know that the "proud daughter of heaven", who everyone envies, originally had a good future, but had to repeatedly break the popularity of the road in the way of "bravely pursuing love", and now she is really at ease and happy?
