"Flowers" Zhang Jianya: From carpenter to director to actor, his ex-wife Zhang Yu said that he was the only man she had ever loved
"I don't have much love, I've loved once in my life, I've been married once, and I haven't experienced it since. ”

This is the emotion of Zhang Yu, who once became a household name in that era because of the movie "Lushan Love", about his feelings.
When she was young, she was pure and delicate, and when she was old, she was intellectual and elegant, she amazed a lot of years and years, but no one could really make her stop.
Zhang Yu is still alone at the age of 66, and the person she said "I loved once in my life" has already entered a new chapter in her life early, no longer looking back, but looking forward.
He is the famous director Zhang Jianya.
Zhang Jianya is 73 years old this year, and he plays a right-hand man next to Mr. Bao in the TV series "Flowers" - Commander Cai.
Things will decline, and there will be a great cold after the great heat, and when it comes, the flowers will become flashy, and the white land will be really clean.
"Flowers" is a story of "watching him rise up a tall building, watching him feast guests, and seeing his building collapse".
In the world of "Flowers", it is not "the bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit", but human affection is the password of this operating system.
Because of Commander Cai's favor of "pushing and then lame", Ah Bao became Mr. Bao, and because he wanted to return Commander Cai's favor, Mr. Bao carried the black cauldron from the Qilin Society for him, which ruined his reputation.
It is also a favor, and it is also a favor.
Bao is always a person trapped by human debts, not loud is the biggest sound, everything is in the words, human feelings can always find a gap in the flow of material desires.
Heaven does not allow people to wish, as long as one is negligent, there will be retribution.
Commander Cai didn't take care of his mouth, he was pitted by a woman, he pitted his brother, and because of the kindness he planted before, he was able to let himself get out of the way.
But he is not a villain, the business sea is up and down, in addition to enemies are friends, the most fundamental trust between Commander Cai and Mr. Bao is still there.
Therefore, Mr. Bao entered the stock market again, and they began to join forces that were no different from the past.
The money is easy to repay, but the debt is difficult to repay, otherwise there would be no "things that can be solved with money, don't consume human favors", fortunately, in the end, Mr. Bao gave everyone an explanation.
The upper class must be false, and the lower class must be empty, maybe human favor will make this "virtuality" a little more "real", and make the cold money world of material desires a little warmer.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jianya became an actor in his old age, and what he didn't expect was that he acted well and remarkably.
Others are acting and directing, but he turned upside down, directing and acting, as if he was transferred from actor to director's ex-wife Zhang Yu.
When it comes to Director Zhang, he naturally has to mention "Sanmao's Journey in the Army", which is the most important work in his life's creation.
is not only a classic children's comedy in the memory of the post-80s, different people can see different levels in this movie, under the banter style is a sharp reflection on war and politics, and the jokes are stacked on top of each other, which is an excellent film that won the Golden Rooster Award.
In addition, Zhang Jianya has also created classic works such as "Qian Xuesen", "Love Call Transfer", "Emergency Landing", "Happy Doremi", "Polar Rescue", "Desperate Life", "Oriental Dagang", "Ice River Death Line", "The Tribulation of Youth", "Righteous Courage and Loyal Soul", "Kidnapping Karajan", "Challenge" and other classic works.
In addition to director, he also has the identities of screenwriter, producer, actor and so on.
Zhang Jianya first starred in the TV series "Siege" as Dong Xiechuan, and since then he has intermittently made many cameo appearances in major movies.
Of course, when he fell in love with Zhang Yu, he was still a fledgling and nameless young man.
But you must know that at that time, Zhang Yu was already popular and close to becoming a household name.
Many people may question whether you want to be good-looking, if you want money without money, why can Zhang Jianya capture Zhang Yu's heart?
The answer is the spirit in him.
"Different artistic tastes can't be a reason for you to look down on people, you have to remember that the stupid mother is also pregnant in October. ”
It's not unusual to be able to say such things.
Zhang Jianya is a person who does big things in a muffled voice, he is well versed in a truth, showing secrets, saying defeat, and not even talking about the gods what he really wants to do.
During his seven years as a carpenter, no one knew that he had always had a movie dream in his heart.
When everyone got by, Zhang Jianya refused to accept his fate, and secretly flipped through movie-related knowledge and theory books, thirsty for knowledge and tireless.
The seed of "I must make movies in the future" was planted in his heart in the fourth grade of elementary school.
At that time, he was fortunate to be selected by the Science Education Film Studio to participate in "The Old Man of Knowledge", and Zhang Jianya saw all kinds of miniatures born for filmmaking, and he lingered on them.
He realized early on that cinema was like a big game out of a bunch of fake things to create a realistic and amazing effect – and he wanted to do that.
During this period, there was a chance to be admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, Zhang Jianya signed up and wanted to test the water, but in the end he was brushed off because of family reasons.
It took many years for him to enter the Shanghai Film Studio, and he really started learning from 0.
It's not easy to come out, at that time it was basically "more monks and less porridge", and you had to sharpen your head to have a chance to try your hand.
However, the goal is never far away, step by step, day by day, just go all out, and leave the rest to time.
Zhang Jianya's "Fortune Road" was brought by the movie "Ice Death Line".
In fact, no one will let go of any "cake" that can be eaten, so naturally it will not be Zhang Jianya's turn, but only this film has made many colleagues daunted and retreated.
It was the subject of natural disasters, and the film crew had to shoot in the Yellow River in the cold winter, and they had to send a helicopter to hover to rescue them, and they were simply determined to be "impossible tasks" by the coffin.
But Zhang Jianya "gnawed" and took over this hot potato in the eyes of others, he himself knew that success or failure would be in one fell swoop, and he cherished this hard-won opportunity very much.
This is Zhang Jianya's first independent film, and it is full of difficulties.
How difficult it is, a group of young people arrived at the filming location with great confidence and confidence, and immediately like an eggplant beaten by frost, they hung their heads, and the whole team immediately "lost their morale".
had to ask Zhang Jianya to angrily scold, "Whoever wants to be afraid of hardship will go home!" Everyone stabilized and stopped complaining.
At this time, he has already shown the control of a great director.
"Make the impossible possible! Make imagination reality!" – in an era of lackluster cinematic technology, this was a very difficult guideline.
The night scene had to be filmed in real time, the cold on the edge of the Yellow River was awe-inspiring, the river was frozen like a mirror, and the filmed material could not be used at all, so the Yellow River had to be blown up.
In the end, the effect was achieved, but with a side effect.
The shock wave created by the explosion in the air shattered all the glass of the houses along the coast, and they lost thousands of dollars for it.
It can be said that in the past four or five months, Zhang Jianya and his party have completely risked their lives to win a chance to emerge.
Fortunately, the result was a full house, because the movie was enthusiastically received, and their young people were also recognized by their superiors.
It was also around this time that Zhang Yu and him intersected.
The "guide" between them is Guo Kaimin.
At that time, Zhang Yu was looking for Teacher Jiao Huang, and Zhang Jianya was familiar with him, so he wanted him to introduce him, at this time, Guo Kaimin jumped out and said:
"I'll take you to Zhang Jianya's house. ”
Speaking of which, at that time, because of "Lushan Love", the male and female protagonists Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu were a hot on-screen couple, and many fans were "happy to see it", and used public opinion to create an atmosphere of "matchmaking" them.
can be helpless, the flowing water is affectionate, and the falling flowers are unintentional.
When the two were filming, their emotional experience was a blank slate, and Guo Kaimin was "courteous" to Zhang Yu at that time, and took good care of her in every detail.
But the affairs of men and women are due to the favorable time and place, and the difference of one cent and one centimeter is an empty door.
Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu didn't succeed because they were one breath apart.
At that time, Zhang Yu was simple-minded, focused only on work, and was not open to feelings, so he couldn't figure out the other party's sincerity, and regrettably missed it as soon as he turned around.
What's even more fateful is that it was Guo Kaimin's matchmaking that laid the groundwork for Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya's relationship.
For a young girl in her early twenties with a pure heart, it is difficult to refuse Zhang Jianya, who is romantic by nature, talented, experienced, mature and stable, and has a gentlemanly demeanor.
Curiosity and appreciation brewed love, and Zhang Yu fell in love with this man who was 7 years older than her.
Feelings come first and come first, but it also talks about fate, and Zhang Jianya's luck is especially good.
In fact, in addition to Guo Kaimin, there was also a popular volleyball coach at the time who had "unrequited love" for Zhang Yu - he was Wang Jiawei.
Why is it unrequited love, because the Zhang Yu he fell in love with is a fake Zhang Yu.
As the most popular man and woman at that time, fans had the meaning of "adult beauty", and in today's words, they are the so-called "CP fans".
A female fan pretended to be Zhang Yu to write a love letter to Wang Jiawei, which actually can't make any waves now, but people at that time were simple, Wang Jiawei believed it to be true, and the correspondence with this "Zhang Yu" lasted for half a year.
Even he finally sent the ring left by his grandmother to the fake Zhang Yu, until the news of the real Zhang Yu's trip to Australia was reported, the girl called her, and Wang Jiawei woke up like a dream.
The most ironic thing is that Zhang Yu has never contacted Wang Jiawei at all, and later, she knew about it and went to ask for his photo.
At that time, she and Zhang Jianya were just together, and the fate between them was so deep that it was like a red thread drawn by Yue Lao, and the two soon got married.
But after two years of enjoying the sweetness of marriage, Zhang Yu came up with the idea of studying in the United States.
became the first actor to win the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award within a year, she quickly lost her personal freedom and privacy after becoming famous, and the script was seriously homogeneous.
She first chose to discuss with her husband, and successfully obtained Zhang Jianya's support, but this was only mentally - he could not go to the United States with Zhang Yu.
Zhang Jianya couldn't abandon everything he had earned in Shanghai Film Studio, that was the condensation of his dream of directing, after studying directing from Nortel, he was exceptionally promoted to the director of the third creative room of "one person under ten thousand people".
Most importantly, he and his colleagues have always been full of ambition to "revitalize Shanghai films".
"Shanghai has the customs and feelings of Shanghai, and the 'northwest wind' of Chinese films was strong at that time, and our goal at that time was very clear, not to have any 'yellow earth' and 'black earth', but to make 'urban films' with Shanghai characteristics. ”
Zhang Jianya had no reason to give up, so he could only say goodbye to his lover with tears.
In this regard, they are all invariably tough, one regards career first, the other regards academics first, and their feelings naturally have to go to the back row.
But when the two of them didn't know it at the time, this difference diluted the fate between them every day since.
Before going out, friends around her reminded Zhang Yu that it was easy to divorce, but she thought silently in her heart:
"How can a person who is so insistent on me give up so easily?"
At that time, she didn't know that sometimes persistence and hard work in feelings didn't work at all, and she didn't know the lethality of time and distance to feelings.
At that time, communication could only be done by letter, and communication was very inconvenient.
Two people have to write a large letter, at least seven or eight at a time, and they can't wait to tell each other all the details of their lives.
It's just that over time, although the feelings have not deteriorated, they have been worn out and diluted.
The lives of two people are going to different ends, she has her circle, he also has his circle, they are both trying to please each other, but they can never reach each other's hearts.
"Our lives are becoming more and more disconnected. ”
Zhang Yu got a very weak answer.
In the sixth year of marriage, she took the initiative to file for divorce and left the empty shell of this marriage.
The pain of the two people in the marriage is self-evident, and the third party between them is time and distance.
Zhang Jianya, as always, respected Zhang Yu's choice and chose to let go.
But on the day Zhang Yu finally returned to her homeland after eight years of undergraduate and graduate school, in addition to her family, he also went.
A lonely man stood alone, holding a rose in his hand.
Zhang Yu's heart "moved", she knew what Zhang Jianya meant, he wanted to try again, and wanted to save this relationship.
But she also knows:
"Since I have chosen this path, there is no turning back. ”
Zhang Yu took Zhang Jianya's roses, and he became a family member in her heart.
Later, Zhang Jianya remarried and had children, and she became very good friends with his wife.
Zhang Yu has changed from an actor to a director and producer, and Zhang Jianya has changed from a director and producer to an actor, both of whom are living well.
This is already the best ending.
