The fox's tail finally can't be hidden! Let's just say, there are a group of wives and concubines, what a powerful character this must be! What's even more outrageous is that his eldest son is still more and more similar to Gong Li as he grows older! Oh my God! What the hell is going on?
Is there some secret that no one knows? Or is it just a coincidence?
This Zhang Yimou is a big name! He was born on April 2, 1950 in Xi'an, Shaanxi.
He is not simple, he is a director, producer, screenwriter, actor, photographer in the mainland, and one of the representatives of the "fifth generation of directors"!
There are really a lot of his works, so let's pick a few key points to talk about.
Zhang Yimou started as a photographer, and in 1984 he worked as a cinematographer for the film "One and Eight".
Later, he also acted in movies.
In 1986, he starred in his first movie "Old Well", good guy, he won three actor awards at once!
In 1987, he directed his first film, Red Sorghum, which won the Golden Bear at the 38th Berlin Film Festival!
The film he directed "Ju Dou", which was the first Chinese mainland film to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film! and "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" also won an award at the film festival.
From 2002 to 2011, it was the era of Zhang Yimou's commercial blockbusters! He directed "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides", "The City Full of Golden Armor", "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", they were all blockbusters!
Later, he filmed "Return", "The Great Wall", "Shadow", "On the Cliff", "Man Jianghong", "Solid as a Rock", "Article 20" or something.
Let's talk about "Shadow", which won him the Best Director Award at the 55th Golden Horse Awards.
"On the Cliff" became the 86th film in Chinese film history to break 1 billion.
"Man Jianghong" also won the highest-grossing Asian Film Award at the 17th Asian Film Awards 2023!
Let's just say, Zhang Yimou's life, that is really amazing! His movies, that picture, and that story are all impressive!
Zhang Yimou, he and Xiao Hua have known each other since they were students.
The two have similar interests and slowly come together.
At that time, they were probably full of youthful passion and longing for the future.
Later, Zhang Yimou entered the film industry, and all of a sudden, the situation changed! It may be that the world of flowers in the film industry is too tempting, or it may be something else, anyway, the relationship between the two of them is facing a test.
In the end, they broke up and went their separate ways.
Let's talk about him and Gong Li.
It was when "Red Sorghum" was filmed, and Zhang Yimou met Gong Li, who was still a student.
Their relationship heated up rapidly, and suddenly became the focus of the entertainment industry.
Gong Li is beautiful and talented, and Zhang Yimou must have been fascinated by her.
She is still willing to give everything for Zhang Yimou's career.
It's a pity that this relationship didn't stand the test of time in the end, and they chose to break up.
However, Zhang Yimou's emotional road was not broken like this.
After experiencing the relationship with Xiao Hua and Gong Li, he met Chen Ting.
Chen Ting is an ordinary girl, but she has a love for life and a vision for the future, which deeply attracts Zhang Yimou.
Soon after they met, they came together.
Unlike the previous two women, Chen Ting understands and supports Zhang Yimou's career more.
For the sake of Zhang Yimou, she was willing to give up her dream.
Moreover, she has also given a lot of help to Zhang Yimou's career.
Let's just say that his unique artistic style, good guys, the use of color and picture composition, have simply injected new artistic elements into Chinese films! We used to watch movies, how could there be such a good-looking picture, but since Director Zhang's movie came out, we have opened our eyes.
Let's talk about his influence on Chinese films in the world, there is really nothing to say.
In the past, how could foreigners know about our Chinese movies, but as soon as Director Zhang's film came out, hey, the whole world knew that there was such a powerful director in China.
He also promoted the commercialization of Chinese films.
In the past, movies were art, but now it is different, commercialization allows more people to see good movies, which is indispensable to Director Zhang's credit.
Director Zhang's films have cultivated a lot of talents! Through his film projects, a group of outstanding actors, photographers, screenwriters, and so on have emerged.
His theme is also innovative enough, and he dares to try any theme, which can make Chinese films more diversified.
In terms of film technology, Director Zhang is also very old, and his exploration and innovation have promoted the progress of Chinese film technology.
Cultural inheritance is also indispensable to him, he expresses Chinese culture through movies, so that the world can understand our Chinese culture.
His films have also raised the artistic standards of Chinese films and the aesthetic level of our audiences.
Let's talk about his controversy first.
In an interview, he actually said: "The more children are born now, the uglier they are, the more beautiful girls don't have children with handsome guys, they all go to the coal bosses, rich people, and old men."
So the current post-90s generation really can't look good.
"Oh mom, what he said was really extreme, and he also sarcastically ridiculed the beautiful girls nowadays who love money and look forward to getting married! This makes netizens unhappy, and they all say that his view is too one-sided.
Let's talk about his casting controversy.
Some people feel that Zhang Yimou relies too much on traffic actors and does not choose actors who really have acting skills.
This can make the big guy mutter: Isn't acting acting the most important?
And his emotional controversy.
Zhang Yimou's current wife, Chen Ting, canceled the certification on social media that she was Zhang Yimou's wife.
At this moment, the public has a lot of discussions about Zhang Yimou's love life.
Let's just say, why did Zhang Yimou, a great director, make such a whole controversy? In terms of speech, he spoke directly and did not take into account the feelings of others at all.
In terms of casting, it is also difficult to understand what he thinks.
Emotionally, he made such a play again, which made everyone scratch their heads.
After all, Zhang Yimou is a great director, and he must have his own ideas and considerations.
We can't just rely on these controversies to completely deny people.
However, as a public figure, you still have to be careful when you speak, don't talk casually, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among everyone.
Casting also has to be considered, you can't just look at the traffic, acting skills are also very important!
