Who is the most influential Chinese director?
In the Chinese film industry, this name is undoubtedly Zhang Yimou.
As a representative figure of the fifth generation of directors, his contribution to the field of film and television is self-evident.
Among his works, "Red Sorghum", "Ambush on All Sides" and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" have all become classic films and have left a deep impression on the audience.
At the same time, he is also known as the "Mou Girl Making Machine", Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Ni Ni and others have all become high-profile superstars because of his appreciation and with their starring roles, becoming a beautiful landscape in the Chinese film industry.
But among the many favored "Mou Girls", there are some people who chose to violate the regulations and were "banned" by Zhang Yimou when they got carried away.
"Outcast" Li Xinru
Li Xinru is a well-known actress in Chinese mainland, once hailed as one of the youngest and most promising rising stars in the mainland, because a film and television work became popular throughout the country.
That is the heroine Lin Wudi in the TV series "Ugly Girl Invincible".
In the play, she successfully created the image of an ugly girl with a big tail, and won a lot of laughter with her exaggerated and funny performance style, and also let the audience see the full play of her acting skills.
But this former screen celebrity has not always maintained brilliance in his acting career, but has experienced many ups and downs and turns.
Now it seems to have been gradually forgotten.
Born in Beijing in 1983, Li Xinru has shown a passion for performing arts since she was a child. She began to participate in stage performances while she was in college, and gradually accumulated rich acting experience.
In 2006, Li Xinru was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 13th Shanghai Magnolia Drama Awards for her drama "Song of Youth", which also laid the foundation for her future entry into the film and television industry.
Subsequently, Li Xinru participated in many popular film and television dramas, such as "Nanjing!Nanjing!", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", etc., and her outstanding performance was highly praised by the industry.
Especially in 2011, Li Xinru was fortunate to join the starring lineup of the big-budget movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" directed by Zhang Yimou, which was also a major breakthrough in her acting career.
But it was this "precious" opportunity that hit her hard.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is a film project that strictly requires confidentiality, and all actors need to sign a strict confidentiality agreement.
During the training camp of this film, Li Xinru inadvertently posted his training photos on the Internet, specifically, the content of the photos involves undisclosed plot settings, scene layouts and actors' styling, which has seriously exceeded the scope of secrecy.
This is a serious violation of the provisions of the non-disclosure agreement.
Therefore, director Zhang Yimou had no choice but to expel him from the crew.
There has been a lot of speculation and controversy in the industry about such a decision.
Some people believe that this is Zhang Yimou's deliberate suppression of newcomers, and some people question whether Li Xinru really leaked secrets.
No matter what the truth is, Li Xinru has bid farewell to her acting career since then, her performance opportunities have been greatly reduced, the original performance plan has all failed, and her career development is in trouble.
People have speculated whether she has been banned from the entertainment industry or is in trouble.
But this is not the case, life is always full of unknowns and possibilities.
After a period of hard work and adjustment, she chose to keep a low profile and return to the entertainment industry.
Although she no longer has the glamorous fame she used to be, Li Xinru still took over some small-budget film and television dramas, and she also has a certain popularity on the Internet.
She also publicly said that she had met a rich second-generation boyfriend, and the two had already begun to prepare for the wedding.
After this news broke, many people couldn't help but have great expectations for her future prospects.
It is said that this mysterious rich second-generation boyfriend is a very wealthy and successful businessman, and they live happily together.
In recent years, Li Xinru has participated in several high-profile blockbusters, including collaborations with many big stars and directors.
At present, Li Xinru has faded out of the entertainment industry, which surprises many people.
She was once hailed as the most promising rising star in Chinese mainland, but now she has suffered a heavy blow on the road of acting only because of "one photo".
Choose to go crazy for revenge
The other is He Jun.
He Jun is a girl born in Jiangsu, China, she has the enthusiasm of a northern girl and the gentleness of a southern girl, her personality is both cheerful and gentle, and her appearance is also outstanding.
When he was young, he was noticed by director Chen Bing and starred in many works, such as "A Bing", "The Taste of Heart Palpitations" and so on.
Not long after joining the entertainment industry, she achieved a lot of results, but this also laid a hidden danger for her later life.
In 2010, He Jun was fortunate to participate in the film "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou.
But because she ignored confidentiality rules before filming and posted photos of training on social media,
As a result, the crew's confidentiality work was destroyed.
This undoubtedly brought great losses and inconvenience to Zhang Yimou and the crew.
In addition to He Jun, there were three newcomers who also had similar situations who suffered the same fate, but one of the actresses named Fu Lulu was retained.
Faced with this incident, I was dissatisfied with the crew in my heart.
He Jun made public and made remarks questioning why the four actresses were not treated fairly.
It also happened that he heard that there was a private life entanglement between Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting, and he already had several children.
This psychology drove her to choose to achieve a certain degree of "revenge" by revealing Zhang Yimou's private life.
He Jun directly broke the news to the media.
This incident caused a huge sensation at the time.
He Jun firmly believes that being "fired" from the crew is maliciously targeting himself for some reason, which makes people question Zhang Yimou's character and feel unfair in the distribution of interests to the group.
For a time, "Chaoshengmen" became the focus of social attention and attracted the attention and discussion of many netizens.
After the intervention of relevant departments in the investigation, He Jun's statement was confirmed, and Zhang Yimou was forced to accept the corresponding punishment.
Since then, He Jun has used this opportunity to successfully obtain more film and television resources, but his previous words and deeds have caused widespread controversy.
But this incident had little impact on Zhang Yimou, and this turmoil did not seem to have had much negative impact on his career and life.
Because he has enough ability and influence to withstand outside pressure, and fans still support him and the creation of his work.
It also allowed Chen Ting, who "can't see the sunshine", and her children to appear in the public eye calmly and share family happy times.
As for He Jun herself, her acting achievements have plummeted as a result, and many people in the industry are reluctant to cooperate with her anymore.
Although He Jun also tried to keep a low profile afterwards, in fact, her actions did change the trajectory of Zhang Yimou's life.
But does this past really mean anything?
When a long time has passed, people still have deep doubts about the behavior of those so-called stars.
For many people, the ultimate goal in life may be the pursuit of external things such as fame, wealth, or power.
But there's more to life than that.
We should value our family, friends, and those who bring us joy and support in our lives.
