Preamble:
What is the story of Zhang Yi and his first love?
Why did he keep thinking about each other, but after becoming famous, he married Qian Linlin, a divorced woman who was 6 years older?
What made this "infatuated actor" become a "negative man"?
In this video, we will interpret the story of Zhang Yi and his wife.
In 2015, Zhang Yixi won the Best Supporting Actor award, and when he was answering a question, a magical scene happened.
A butterfly flew out of nowhere, and was reluctant to leave him for a long time, and finally stopped on the bow tie, as if to celebrate his award and help organize his clothes.
Later, Zhang Yi said with tears in his eyes: She must be here.
And the reason why he reacted this way was because of the regretful relationship he had with his first love.
So what happened between the two, and why didn't they achieve positive results in the end?
The story also starts with Zhang Yi entering the art troupe.
Like all the young people who drifted north, he came to the big city with enthusiasm for performance at that time, but he ran into walls everywhere.
Later, under the reminder of others, he decided to knock on the door of the art troupe.
There was a chance to stay, but unfortunately he had to pay for it, but fortunately he had the support of his family at this time, and his father sent his last savings to help him knock on the door.
In this way, Zhang Yi started a fulfilling Xi life, in addition to the complicated academic and combat training to be completed, he also participated in condolence performances from time to time.
Fortunately, after several years of hard work, he got the opportunity to enter the repertory troupe, but because of his appearance and business ability, he became the most marginalized character and became one of the "three ugly" in the school at that time.
But even so, Zhang Yi was noticed by the girls in the class, and this person was his first love.
Unlike Zhang Yi, the girl is not only white and beautiful, but also has quite good family conditions, and the whole person reveals a taste of self-confidence, and because of this, she has become a ray of light in Zhang Yi's life.
In the face of school activities, Zhang Yi is often eager to try the position of broadcast host, but he is really timid, at this time, it is his first love by his side that silently motivates him and accompanies him to slowly practice his courage.
Between getting along day and night, the two secretly fell in love, and finally the girl with a hearty personality first opened her mouth to express her heart, and the two fell in love like this and talked about a very hard love.
Because the environment they live in does not allow for a public relationship, as long as they are caught, they will face the risk of being expelled from both, so even in the same place, they have a feeling of "long-distance relationship", and sometimes they have to cross a 2-meter-high wall in order to see each other.
It's a pity that such a vigorous love did not usher in a good result after all.
The relationship between the two was discovered by the mother of their first love, and Zhang Yi also ushered in the final trial.
The other party commented on his appearance with very ugly words, although he may have heard similar words too many times, but when it came out of the mouth of his first love mother, it seemed even more heart-piercing.
Although the two of them were interested in being concubines, the gap between Zhang Yi and their first love was there, forming an insurmountable gap, which gradually brought their relationship to an end.
However, what Zhang Yi didn't expect was that they couldn't stay together for the rest of their lives, and they had to endure the pain of life and death.
In 2004, Zhang Yi received a phone call and learned that his first love had an accident and was unconscious at this time.
Hearing the news, he rushed to the hospital, looked at the lifeless first love, and half-knelt on the side of the bed hoping that the other party would wake up.
Maybe it was the telepathy in the dark, and when the girl on the hospital bed heard these words, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
From then on, Zhang Yi came back to see her whenever he had time, and this insistence was 10 years, but unfortunately the girl finally failed to overcome fate and passed away in 2014.
At that time, Zhang Yi was unable to attend her funeral due to work, which also became a regret in his heart, even if he was interviewed many years later, he still said that he wanted to travel back to the past and see this girl again.
However, such an affectionate character was broken after he got married.
Soon after the death of his first love, he and Qian Linlin entered the palace of marriage.
Many people don't understand why such an infatuated person turned around and married someone else when his first love was "not cold", is this an inappropriate "negative man"?
So what is the charm of Qian Linlin that can make Zhang Yi forget this unforgettable love and decide to spend the rest of his life with her?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because the other party gave him enough recognition and respect.
Zhang Yi in 2023 is like a 10 billion box office actor who has won countless awards.
From He Li in "Man Jianghong", to An Xin in "Hurricane", and then to Wei Guoping in "Who Is He", what people see is his superb acting skills and the various charms he exudes when performing, but only he knows how many sad moments he has experienced behind this.
Almost since he can remember, he has been denied, and at the age of 6, he was fascinated by a radio program "Harbin at Night", and since then he has planted a dream of broadcasting and hosting in his heart.
But his family didn't think much of his idea, and persuaded him not to dream of being an announcer if he didn't have the ability, after all, the local enrollment quota of Beijing Broadcasting Institute was only three, which was too difficult.
But he did not give up because of the difficulties, and still worked hard to move forward towards the Broadcasting Academy.
It's a pity that the enrollment quota of three per year was originally three, but it became two in the year he took the exam, and Zhang Yi, who just took the third place, missed the opportunity to learn Xi broadcasting.
In order not to make Zhang Yi depressed, Zhang's father and mother spent a lot of savings to send him to the local troupe, but he didn't expect that here, Zhang Yi had the idea of becoming an actor again.
He used his free time when he was not performing to study the scripts of many well-known works and delve into the lines in them, and it was because of his efforts during this time that he was able to get the opportunity to learn Xi in the Comrades-in-Arms Art Troupe.
However, when he got here, he still couldn't escape the negative fate, the teacher said that he was not suitable for acting, and his comrades-in-arms said that he would die if he took this path.
However, no matter how much persuasion there was around, he still insisted on being himself, and finally in 2006, he waited for the explosion of "Soldier Assault" and the first pot of gold on his road as an actor.
But before the money was hot, he all went to his father's card, because he knew that without the financial support of his parents, he would not wait for this opportunity.
After the money, Zhang Yi only had less than 100 yuan left in his pocket, and his life was very difficult, and even the house was borrowed, and it was in this state that he met Qian Linlin.
At that time, Zhang Yi finished recording the CCTV program and was about to go back, but it was raining, and he was reluctant to take a taxi without an umbrella.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, a woman in a crisp suit came to him with an umbrella and solved the dilemma for him.
Zhang Yi didn't want to accept her umbrella, but the other party kept insisting.
Later, Zhang Yi decided to express his gratitude to Qian Linlin with a meal, but he could only invite her to a small restaurant to eat noodles.
Although Qian Linlin was not particularly famous at that time, she was also a CCTV host, with a stable salary, not at all like someone who would come to eat in this kind of place, and Zhang Yi was afraid that the other party would refuse.
But what he didn't expect was that she agreed with a smile, not only that, but also affirmed this bowl of noodles, a sentence of "very appetizing", which lit up Zhang Yi, who has been denied and discriminated against for several years.
For so many years, I didn't dislike him because of this face, and I didn't care that he was penniless, except that his parents were Qian Linlin.
After this dinner, the relationship between the two became closer and closer.
Zhang Yi will talk to the other party about the white eyes he has suffered over the years, and also talk about the complicated relationship between him and his first love, and Qian Linlin can always give him just the right amount of comfort and encouragement.
Similarly, she will also share her past with her ex-husband.
The two got to know each other in this way, and in just half a year, they became a family from strangers.
This time, Zhang Yi withstood the test of his mother-in-law, and his wife's family not only did not dislike him because of his appearance, but also praised his character and morality.
The affirmation of the family strengthened Zhang Yi's determination to marry Qian Linlin, but at this time, the other party was worried.
At that time, Zhang Yi was no longer the man who could only invite her to eat a bowl of noodles, but a person whose career was thriving and could have better choices.
Qian Linlin is just a little-known little host, and she is married for the second time, and she also has a child with her ex-husband.
Faced with this high-spirited man, she asked: Are you sure you want to marry me?
The answer was yes, Zhang Yi said without hesitation: I will not marry you in this life, and the two have become a model couple in the entertainment industry.
After getting married, Qian Linlin focused on her husband's career.
In front of people, she used the identity of an agent to follow her husband to the north and south;
After the queen, she took care of the family as a wife.
Without her, Zhang Yi doesn't know when he will be able to get out of the shadow of falling out of love, and he doesn't know how much time it will take to find a role that suits him so well.
It is said that "husband and wife work together, and their profits are gold", with the support of Qian Linlin, Zhang Yi only took a few years to jump from an actor who "acting is a dead end" to become the sixth actor with a box office of 10 billion yuan in Chinese film history.
What surprised him even more was that his wife not only had "discerning eyes", but also had great measurements.
Knowing that her first love was a very memorable person in Zhang Yi's heart, she not only didn't mind, but also took the initiative to ask her husband to take more care of her first love's family.
Perhaps it is this rare recognition and respect that makes Zhang Yi unswerving.
Now that the marriage between the two has gone through 16 years hand in hand, Zhang Yi's career is getting better and better, no longer limited by appearance, but has conquered hundreds of millions of viewers with his strength.
Over the years, every one of his roles has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from the Ma Bao male ingots in "The True Story of Hot Mom" to Gao Yuan in "My Motherland and Me", Zhang Yi's performance can always surprise people, and even rely on a look to convey information.
Looking back on the past few years, the reputation of some dramas starring "Cream Xiaosheng" has become worse and worse, on the contrary, dramas starring middle-aged subjects such as Zhang Yi, Liu Yijun, Wang Yang, Nie Yuan, and Qin Hao have become more and more popular.
Maybe one day, the era of looking at faces and picking actors will eventually pass, polishing your acting skills and enriching yourself can bring good works that are memorable.
