Director's career
Starting as an obscure handyman, Zhang Li has a strong interest in cinema and a unique point of view. In 1978, he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy as he wished, opening the first step of his dream of directing.
During his university years, Zhang Li was diligent and studious, assiduously studied directing theory and shooting skills, and actively participated in various photography activities on weekdays, winning many awards. After graduating, with his passion for the film industry, he returned to the film studio that gave him the opportunity and resumed his work as a cinematographer.
In 1986, an unexpected opportunity came, and Zhang Li finally got a precious opportunity to shoot a movie. Full of excitement and expectation, he embarked on the road of directing with his debut film "Escape from the World of Sin" created with his heart.
However, fate played tricks, and due to various changes, the film finally failed to meet the audience in theaters as scheduled.
The blow did not break Zhang Li, and in 1989 he appeared on the screen again with his new work "Fake Hero". Although he did not achieve the expected results, this gave him his first taste of the sweetness and bitterness of directing, and stimulated a stronger desire to direct.
The next few years were the trough of Zhang Li's career development.
But every time he thought of the hardships and sweat he had paid for it, Zhang Li once again made up his mind to re-examine this experience, determined not to give up or indulge. Finally, in 1996, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the China Golden Rooster Award for the movie "Red Cherry" with his excellent cinematography, affirming his years of hard work.
More importantly, this undoubtedly completely ignited his inner desire and pursuit of a career as a director.
In the following years, Zhang Li directed the film "Born Out of the Sky", which won another good result and was awarded the title of "Top Ten Directors" by industry insiders, and his directorial career kicked off.
Emotional turmoil ensued
When his career was getting better, Zhang Li's love life was also in trouble. All the entanglements began in 2006, when he met the popular little flower girl Liu Lin.
Liu Lin, who had just debuted, became an instant hit in "Coming Home for the New Year" with her fresh and refined temperament, and she became the dream lover of countless fans in an instant.
And Zhang Li was already an authoritative director at that time and enjoyed a good reputation. The moment the two met, Liu Lin's pure and sweet demeanor attracted Zhang Li's attention, and he was fascinated by the vitality of this young girl and took the initiative to pursue it, and the two soon fell in love and lived together.
Liu Lin is deeply in love and gives sincere love to Zhang Li. In order to better serve her beloved man, she even made a huge sacrifice in her career, took the initiative to put down all the work at hand, returned to her family wholeheartedly, and took care of Zhang Li's daily life.
On several occasions, Liu Lin cautiously hinted to Zhang Li that he hoped to enter the palace of marriage with him, but he was always vaguely prevaricated and rejected by Zhang Li.
It turned out that Zhang Li's heart had already been occupied by another woman - that is, the powerful actress Liu Bei, who enjoyed the reputation of "Feng Girl". At that time, Liu Bei was the queen heroine of director Feng Xiaogang, and she was quite talented in comedy, and was known as "the most suitable actress to play comedy roles".
Just when Liu Bei had just walked out of the haze of a failed marriage, Zhang Li sincerely invited her to join the movie "Military Confidential" directed by him in a timely manner. The two became acquainted with each other because of the play, and they had a good impression in the cooperation and knew each other.
Liu Bei left a very deep impression on Zhang Li, and he left his girlfriend Liu Lin at the time almost without thinking about it, and married Liu Bei Lightning.
But soon after marriage, Zhang Li also became a little tired of Liu Bei, and his eyes began to wander again. When directing the TV series "Once Upon a Time in China", which won both ratings and word-of-mouth, the young and beautiful Xiaohuadan Xiao Song Jia played an important role.
Her courage to pursue true love and superb acting skills completely conquered Zhang Li, and the two quickly fell into the trap of falling in love. The staff at the scene all saw some clues, and public opinion quickly pointed the finger at Song Jia, the third party who "meddled in other people's marriages".

From an unknown photographer to the top of the director, Zhang Li has used his life to interpret what "art is life".
As a director from a humble background, Zhang Li's achievements are not easy to come by. He started as a small handyman, wasted years and endured hardships, and with his unique perspective and superb directing skills, he finally gained a firm foothold in this circle and became an undisputed first-line big-name figure.
Even after the age of sixties, Zhang Li still maintains a high-yield and high-quality creative state, and his new works are frequently launched to attract the attention of the whole people. Whenever one of his new dramas or new movies is released, it always makes a sensation in the film industry and wins amazing rave reviews.

Love life is full of ups and downs
Zhang Li can be said to have advanced in his career, but his love life is a mess, with ups and downs, and bizarre blood.
When Liu Bei learned about the scandal between Zhang Li and Xiao Song Jia, she was furious and decided to divorce Zhang Li and end the marriage. What's even more unexpected is that after divorcing Zhang Li, Liu Bei actually married her ex-husband Zhang Jian again! Such a plot is full of ups and downs, and the blood is bizarre, and it rarely happens even in real life.
As for the little Song Jia, who was once madly in love with Zhang Li, when her career was on the rise, she also chose to break up because her relationship with Zhang Li was blocked. Some commentators believe that Xiao Song Jia was very witty to leave a perfect retreat for herself and shifted her focus to career development.
In addition, Zhang Li's affair scandal has never stopped. Even in the high-profile costume drama "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life" directed by him, the two stunning heroines Zhang Heng and Yang Xue who worked with him were also revealed to have an affair with him.
At that time, Zhang Heng once played the role of "Princess Saiya" in the costume drama "Huanzhu Gege", which attracted widespread attention. And Yang Xue became popular all over the Internet with the hit of "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", and the two of them are undoubtedly synonymous with "peerless beauty".
However, how Zhang Li was able to possess the true inside story of these two beauties at the same time, the outside world has no way of knowing, only the parties themselves know best. For a while, the scandal about Zhang Li and the two heroines spread widely in the entertainment industry and became the focus of people's after-dinner topics.
Although Zhang Li's love life is dissolute and has played with the sincerity of countless women, his talent and achievements in his career are unmatched. At the age of 67, he has already created a series of immortal works that can be called classics on the road of film and television art.
There are countless awards, big and small, and behind these halos are all highlights his extraordinary talent as a generation of master directors.
Career and life are both harvested

Starting as a small handyman, he used his life's efforts to interpret the concept of "art is life", and witnessed the supreme glory of the profession of director with outstanding achievements.
However, at the other end of his personal life, Zhang Li failed to fulfill his responsibilities and responsibilities as a man. His love life was uninhibited, cynical, and almost absurd.
With five marriages and countless romantic affairs, he is simply a much-criticized "scumbag" representative in the entertainment industry.
He cruelly abandoned Liu Lin, who treated him wholeheartedly, and divorced for his new love Liu Bei; In just one year after marriage, he shifted his attention to Xiao Song Jia.
Even the crew directed by him has scandals exposed from time to time.
Although Zhang Li worked hard for his film and television career, he never worried too much about his personal conduct. seems to be a playboy-like style of life, so that while he has a successful career, he is also saddled with the infamy of "absurdity and shamelessness".
There are even comments that he is talented and extraordinary, but after all, he still "lost in the second half of his life".
