Preface
He is China's "twin flowers", proficient in acting and directing.
"Debut is the pinnacle".
The first work written and directed by himself is called a "masterpiece".
In terms of feelings, he is "romantic", and he is scolded as a "scumbag"?
Who is he and what is his story?
01
Jiang Wen was born in Tangshan City, Hebei Province in 1963.
His mother was a teacher, and his father was a respected soldier.
Because his parents have been very strict with Jiang Wen since he was a child, the seeds of rebellion were quietly planted in his heart.
During school, Jiang Wen met his best friend Yingda.
During that time, he smoked at school every day and discussed the girls in his class with his friends.
So much so that during the college entrance examination, Yingda was admitted to Peking University, but she failed.
Just when Jiang Wen was disheartened, Yingda's words completely changed the trajectory of his life.
"Why don't you try to take the Chinese drama?"
Jiang Wen, who heard these words, felt empowered, and turned around and applied for the Central Academy of Drama.
What people didn't expect was that he was really admitted.
During his time in Chinese opera, Jiang Wen found himself very interested in the acting industry.
This made him completely abandon his "ruffianism" and began to study acting seriously.
And his spring is coming.
In 1986, director Xie Jin was filming a movie "Furong Town".
Because the actor has not found a suitable candidate for a long time, the filming time has been delayed again and again.
But when Xie Jin saw Jiang Wen's style, he found that the male protagonist of the movie seemed to be tailor-made for Jiang Wen.
immediately made a decision to let him act.
And Jiang Wen himself didn't expect that he would usher in the peak of his life as soon as he debuted.
With this film, Jiang Wen won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor.
At the same time, Jiang Wen ushered in the first woman in his life.
At that time, the heroine of "Furong Town" was Liu Xiaoqing.
There is an emotional scene between the two in the rain.
When Liu Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Wen, who was bursting with hormones in front of him, he couldn't help but feel some feelings in his heart.
Therefore, after the filming of this drama was completed, the two fell in love for 8 years.
02
On the road of acting later, Jiang Wen gradually found that he did not want to "live under the fence".
Because during the filming process, many actors' movements and demeanor are their own opinions.
Even after listening to Jiang Wen's suggestion, the director felt that his eyes lit up.
So in 1991, Jiang Wen decided to transform into a director.
However, there was a difficult problem in front of Jiang Wen.
Perhaps because of his strict requirements, Jiang Wen has never found a script that suits him.
Until the appearance of a person, the first movie in his life that he shot was directly called a masterpiece.
even topped the list of the world's top ten movies for a time.
Jiang Wen's friend Wang Shuo, when he learned that he wanted to transform into a director, took the initiative to find the door.
At the dinner table, Wang Shuo took out the novel "Animal Fierceness" he wrote.
As a result, Jiang Wen began to be silent after reading it carefully.
After ten minutes, Jiang Wen slapped the table directly and shouted, this is what I was looking for!
But at this time, Wang Shuo disagreed, because Jiang Wen wanted him to change the short story into a screenplay.
Seeing Wang Shuo's attitude, Jiang Wen knew that he still had to rely on himself in this matter.
So after this meal, Jiang Wen locked himself in a small black room for about a month.
I simply adapted a 60,000-word novel into a 90,000-word script.
And this movie is later "Sunny Days".
Because it was the first time to be a director, Jiang Wen was cautious everywhere.
When choosing the heroine, Jiang Wen fell in love with the sweet and quiet appearance at a glance.
But after all, it was filming, and Jiang Wen calmed down.
After he asked the three girls, including Tranquility, to try out the play repeatedly, he finally decided to let Tranquility be the starring role.
And Jiang Wen's seriousness and strictness in his works are also vividly reflected.
When taking the serenity photos, I used 4 films and took 23,040 photos.
In the end, I chose the most suitable one among these photos.
It is precisely because of Jiang Wen's dedication and dedication that this movie became an instant hit as soon as it was released.
At that time, the limelight was no less than Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine".
And the success of this play, Liu Xiaoqing also played a big role.
When Jiang Wen was filming this drama, because of his lack of experience, there was a shortage of funds halfway.
And Liu Xiaoqing, who learned of this situation, immediately took out all his savings.
and scraped together with his friends, and finally took out 3 million.
But Liu Xiaoqing didn't expect that his hard work would be a "wedding dress" for others.
Due to the explosion of the movie, Jiang Wen's position in Tranquility's heart has also quietly changed.
And the quiet, pure and sweet image is also deeply loved by Jiang Wen.
Not surprisingly, the two fell in love.
But paper can't contain fire after all.
Liu Xiaoqing, who learned that he was green, felt disheartened and decided to quit after thinking twice.
But the two did not die of old age, but became friends.
And Jiang Wen's "romantic history" is far from over.
03
During the time spent with Tranquility, because both of them had a very explosive temper, they would scold if they couldn't get used to it.
So soon Jiang Wen and Tranquility broke up.
What Jiang Wen didn't expect was that his "peach blossom luck" didn't seem to have been broken.
At an academic exchange meeting, French journalist Sandrine interviewed Jiang Wen.
Seeing Sandrine's export and knowledge, Jiang Wen was deeply attracted to her.
After going back and forth, the two quickly fell in love, and there was a crystallization of love.
In 1997, Jiang Wen and Sandrine registered their marriage in France.
But when everyone thought that Jiang Wen's relationship could finally come to a successful end, the two divorced!
The reason is that because of their work, the two get together less and leave more, although they have children, but after all, it is still in vain.
But perhaps Jiang Wen himself didn't expect that his love seemed to have no "window period".
In 2001, Jiang Wen met Zhou Yun when he participated in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".
After Jiang Wen was drunk once, he chatted with Zhou Yun about his family and children.
When he saw that the man in front of him was so emotional, Zhou Yun was deeply moved.
So she decided to entrust her beings to Jiang Wen.
In 2005, Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun officially registered their marriage and had two children after marriage.
The sweet life of the two makes everyone envious.
Recently, Jiang Wen also released a photo of a family of four.
It is not difficult to see from the photos that Zhou Yun does not seem to be old at all.
But Jiang Wen on the side couldn't help but complain.
The temples are white, and the eyelids are also a little wrinkled, and he looks like an old man.
But despite this, it can still be seen that Jiang Wen's genes are very strong.
The temperament and appearance of the eldest son Jiang Yilang are better than that of the young Jiang Wen.
But the image of the second son is a bit "unsatisfactory" in comparison.
But the happy atmosphere of their family has "overflowed the screen".
People can't help but sigh that Jiang Wen can be described as a winner in life, with a bumper harvest in career and love.
epilogue
Today's Jiang Wen is over half a hundred years old.
But his classics "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Evil Does Not Prevail" are still talked about by the audience.
I hope that in the future, he will be able to bring better and better works to the audience.
