It was a bright spring day in 2013, and a festive atmosphere was in a high-end hotel in Beijing. Today, the famous painter Zhu Xinjian will marry Wang Shuo's daughter Wang Mi.
The scene was full of flowers, the officiant was waiting in front, and the guests were seated one after another.
The wedding hall was bustling with stars. Famous directors Feng Xiaogang, Chen Danqing, Zhao Baogang and other cultural giants were all absent, and the scene was extremely lively. However, what is unbelievable is that the bride's father, Wang Shuo, did not appear at this important moment.
As a party, Wang Shuo should be overjoyed about his daughter's wedding. But just as the ceremony was about to begin, the host found that Wang Shuo's figure had disappeared.
The staff hurriedly called to inquire, but Wang Shuo simply replied that he was ill and really didn't have the energy to attend the meeting, so he politely declined to attend.
There was an uproar at the scene, and the guests were very surprised. After all, as a father, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to be absent from his daughter's wedding. Everyone speculated about the reason for Wang Shuo's absence, some people said that it was caused by the estrangement of the relationship between father and daughter, and some people speculated that Wang Shuo was withdrawn and could not face this kind of occasion.
However, some acquaintances present secretly speculated that Wang Shuo's main reason may be that he could not face the appearance of his ex-wife Shen Xujia. Shen Xujia, as the mother of the bride, naturally had to attend her daughter's wedding.
And her grievances with Wang Shuo have long been scars that have been sealed for many years. This meeting really made Wang Shuo unspeakable.
Sure enough, after the ceremony began, Shen Xujia slowly walked into the venue and sat down on the side. She showed a faint smile, as if she was hiding the complicated emotions in her heart.
Seeing the face of his former wife, Wang Shuo must not be able to face the past.
1994 was destined to be an extraordinary year for Wang Shuo. In this year, he and his wife Shen Xujia experienced a heart-rending divorce drama.
In this whirlpool of contradictions, their only daughter Wang Mi is undoubtedly the biggest victim.
After the divorce, Shen Xujia went to the United States alone to temporarily get rid of this troubled marriage. In a foreign country, her state of mind was finally released and stretched like never before, and her career and relationship regained a new beginning.
In contrast, Wang Mi, a child from a single-parent family, is not so lucky. She has never been able to adapt to the drastic changes in her living environment, and she has behaved casually and indulgently in her studies and behavior.
Whenever she heard the teacher report that Wang Mi was not doing well in school, Shen Xujia would sigh deeply, her eyes full of helplessness and self-blame.
In the year when Wang Shuo was separated from his wife and daughter, he also fell into an unprecedented career dilemma. A huge "boycott Wang Shuo" campaign was launched nationwide, and the storm of public opinion raged for a while.
The "Good Dream Film Company" co-founded by him and his friend Feng Xiaogang bore the brunt of the attack, and many films were violently blocked and suffered heavy losses.
The storm of public opinion made Wang Shuo have nowhere to hide, and he had to choose to leave Beijing temporarily and wander in a foreign land to avoid the limelight. Physically and mentally exhausted, he can only hope that this turmoil will subside as soon as possible.
This undoubtedly brought a devastating blow to Wang Shuo's literary creation and film career, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.
In 1984, Wang Shuo had just been discharged from the army and returned to the familiar city of Beijing with the dreams and passions of literary and artistic youth. However, real life is far from what he imagined.
As a new writer, his financial situation is quite tight, and even food and clothing have become a problem.
Just when Wang Shuo was at his most destitute, his friend Ma Weidu reached out at the right time to help. Ma Weidu enthusiastically invited Wang Shuo to go to the Beijing Dance Academy to "see beautiful women", hoping to alleviate Wang Shuo's troubles.
Out of the original intention of "watching beautiful women to relieve boredom", Wang Shuo happily went.
When he arrived at the dance studio, a young woman's dancing immediately caught his eye. She was wearing a snow-white dance dress, and her posture was graceful and light, like a fairy.
That's right, that is Shen Xujia, a dance student who was studying at the school at the time.
Wang Shuo was fascinated by Shen Xujia, and he took the initiative to get to know this beautiful dancer and obtain her contact information. Soon after, the two made an appointment to go to Yuyuantan to play, and the feeling of seeing each other gradually rose in their hearts.
Since then, they have started frequent dates and are almost inseparable.
Gradually, Shen Xujia's beauty, wisdom and talent all deeply impressed Wang Shuo. He made up his mind to marry the girl home as his wife. However, coming together doesn't happen overnight.
Back then, Shen Xujia got into trouble because she rejected a suitor, and was threatened by the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, asking her to break with Wang Shuo. Although facing many obstacles, Shen Xujia's love for Wang Shuo is extremely firm, and she insists on maintaining an underground relationship with him.
In this way, the road of love between the two was difficult, but they finally achieved positive results in 1987 and became husband and wife. The following year, the crystallization of their love, their daughter Wang Mi, was also born.
The family of three enjoyed themselves, and Wang Shuo's literary career gradually improved in the following years, publishing a number of highly regarded masterpieces.
In 1988, this year was considered the turning point of Wang Shuo's career and was known as the "Year of Wang Shuo's Film". This year, his works have sprung up and caused a violent response in the film and television industry.
Whether it is "The Stubborn Master", "Half of the Fire and Half of the Sea", or "Reincarnation", "Eraser", etc., all of them have achieved great success and praise.
became famous, and directors from all walks of life came to the door, hoping to direct and adapt Wang Shuo's works. The temptation of power and fame began to confuse Wang Shuo, and he publicly said: "The entertainment industry is just my private garden."
In this way, he gradually neglected his family and rarely got along with his wife and daughter.
What's worse is that at this time at the peak of his career, Wang Shuo and the young and beautiful Xu Jinglei got acquainted and knew each other, and finally became madly entangled together. It was through a casting activity of "Good Dream Film Company" that Xu Jinglei met the talented and 16-year-old Wang Shuo.
According to her unique aesthetic standards, the two quickly sparked and fought fiercely.
Faced with her husband's more and more outrageous behavior, Shen Xujia felt extremely painful in her heart, but for the sake of her daughter, she could only choose to swallow her anger for the time being.
Shen Xujia maintained an elegant smile on the surface, but his heart was dripping blood. She replied to Xu Jinglei: "As his mother, you will never be able to replace my position. Seeing his wife's isolated and helpless appearance, Wang Shuo chose to escape from reality and hid in the hotel alone to write.
Xu Jinglei took advantage of the exposure opportunity of "Good Dream Film Company" to get acquainted with the popular writer Wang Shuo, and the two were crazy entangled for a while. Although she is still young, with the introduction and support of Wang Shuo, she still stepped into the film industry and started her acting career.
In the following years, Xu Jinglei starred in a series of well-known film and television works such as "Carry Love to the End", "Subway to Spring", "My Beautiful Homesickness" and other well-known film and television works with her outstanding strength and superb acting skills, which won wide acclaim.
What's more worth mentioning is that in the process of cooperation between her and director Huang Lixing, the two gradually fell in love with each other and sparked a spark of love.
In 2009, Xu Jinglei and Huang Lixing's relationship finally became frank and sublimated, and the two made their relationship public. This year has been a mixed blessing for Xu Jinglei. She won the Best Actress at the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards for her outstanding performance, and her career reached a new peak; But the relationship with Wang Shuo has officially come to an end.
Out of a sense of morality, Xu Jinglei bought a mansion for the troubled Wang Shuo to solve his urgent needs. She uses her actions to demonstrate the tenacity of perseverance and the pursuit of ideals, while also showing empathy and love for the weak.
Since then, Xu Jinglei has positioned Wang Shuo as a "close friend" rather than an "old lover". She opened a new chapter with Huang Lixing, and the two were in a firm relationship and loved each other.
is very different from Xu Jinglei's restart, which is Wang Shuo's declining life situation. After the divorce, his net worth gradually disappeared, and his former power and fame were gone.
What's even more regrettable is that his infatuation with Xu Jinglei is just an ethereal love game after all, and he loses completely.
In comparison, Shen Xujia's life trajectory is much smoother. As early as after the divorce, she moved to the United States with her daughter Wang Mi, where she regained her career.
Gradually, she has entered a mature and wise life stage, and she is no longer the youth and simplicity of the past. Facing the painful past of the past, Shen Xu Canon calmly handled it and smiled slightly: "Everyone, it's all in the past, and there is no need to mention it."
The years have been wrapped in vicissitudes, and she has slowly shaped herself into an outstanding woman with wisdom and talent. Looking at her ex-husband's decadence and decency, she doesn't seem to have much sympathy, and just wants to cherish her current life.
And Wang Shuo, who is now over the age of six, is alone and old, losing his former wealth, talent and love. He could only spend the rest of his life alone and silently, hoping that his children would give him some meager care.
This tragic life situation is the price of his personal morality back then.
