1. At the beginning of the book, the seemingly accidental phone connection changed the fate of Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan so magically!
Back in that ordinary afternoon in 2002, Feng Xiaogang, who had just finished working as a director of the movie "Mobile Phone", was preparing to contact his long-lost old friend. Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was a woman she had never met before-Xu Fan.
At this time, Xu Fan has entered the threshold of thirty years old and has been single for a long time. Since breaking up with her first boyfriend Wang Zhiwen, she has devoted herself to the career she loves, and she is quite indifferent to her love life.
However, Feng Xiaogang has long been interested in this beautiful and extraordinary woman, but he has never been able to find the right opportunity to meet her.
Surprisingly, Xu Fan's tone when answering the phone was decisive and powerful, as if there was an indescribable charm hidden that deeply attracted Feng Xiaogang. So, naturally, they started talking and exploring each other's interests.
This seemingly insipid call turned out to be like a precisely projected spark, igniting the fire of passion in the lives of the two. Since then, Feng Xiaogang's obsession with Xu Fan has deepened, and Xu Fan has been impressed by the talent and achievements of this sought-after director.
This seemingly ordinary phone call turned out to be the prelude to the fate of the two and was destined to change the trajectory of their lives. And all of this can be traced back to Xu Fan's bumpy growth process.
Second, going back in time, Xu Fan's difficult first half of life
Xu Fan was born in an artistic family, and has had a special emotion and yearning for the opera industry since he was a child. However, the family is extremely cautious about this, fearing that Xu Fan will follow in their footsteps and go through countless hardships.
"It's too hard to do this, don't go down our path!" Mother always admonished in earnest. And Xu Fan could only nod firmly with tears, but silently swore in her heart that she would never give up her dream easily.
As expected, after unremitting efforts and persistence, Xu Fan finally succeeded in convincing his family and obtained permission to apply for the Hubei Provincial Drama Academy. However, who would have thought that campus life would be so embarrassing? Xu Fan's drama major is even facing the crisis of disbandment, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Despite the setbacks, this resilient and stubborn girl did not choose to back down, but devoted herself more diligently and attentively to her research. She always secretly practiced while others were relaxing, and she continued to rehearse while others were studying in class.
Even in the freezing and snowy winter, the biting cold wind howling could not stop her from pursuing her dreams.
3. Xu Fan and Wang Zhiwen's beautiful relationship in college
In the most difficult and difficult moment of Xu Fan's life, she once had a college life that made her feel extremely warm. The male classmate named Wang Zhiwen and Xu Fan are student couples in the same school, and the two have spent several years together, which can be called the most eye-catching couple on campus.
Xu Fan loves freedom and has an open-minded personality, while Wang Zhiwen is rigorous and introverted, although the two personalities are diametrically opposed, they coexist harmoniously like yin and yang, and have become the object of envy of everyone.
Whenever the sunset shines on the land, they can always be seen holding hands, smiling at each other, leisurely strolling through the beautiful campus.
However, during an outing, Xu Fan was photographed with a set of ambiguous photos, and Wang Zhiwen was furious when he learned about it and questioned Xu Fan's loyalty. As a result, the two had a fierce argument, and due to disagreement, they finally parted ways in a state of exhaustion.
Faced with the breakdown of this relationship, Xu Fan fell into extreme pain several times. However, she never expected that fate would arrange a better partner for her after all, and this future husband would be the famous director Feng Xiaogang in the future.
Fourth, tell the story of how Xu Fan met Feng Xiaogang
In fact, before Xu Fan and Feng Xiaogang met and fell in love, they had already had a one-sided relationship. That dates back to 1993, when Feng Xiaogang was directing the movie "The Great Satan".
On the first day of filming, the director was attracted to a new actress. She has a delicate face, a free and easy demeanor, and a unique charm is revealed between her gestures.
It turned out that this newcomer was Xu Fan from Hubei.
Feng Xiaogang had a secret affection for Xu Fan at that time, but considering that she was in the stage of love, he felt that he had no chance, so he had to hide this emotion in his heart. However, the arrangement of fate is often unexpected, Xu Fan and her ex-boyfriend announced their breakup soon after, which undoubtedly gave Feng Xiaogang an unexpected opportunity.
One afternoon in 2002, Feng Xiaogang called a friend's phone, but was picked up by Xu Fan. He was surprised at first, but soon he sensed a hint of a turnaround.
So, at the beginning of their acquaintance, the two quickly discussed many topics, and Xu Fan's clear, pleasant and lively voice made Feng Xiaogang ecstatic. It was after the news called "fateful call" that Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to invite without hesitation, hoping to communicate with Xu Fan face-to-face.
When they first met, Xu Fan still maintained that unique charm, independent and full of confidence, which made Feng Xiaogang even more obsessed with her, and Feng Xiaogang, as a high-profile director, his achievements also made Xu Fan feel extremely curious Driven by this deep love, Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to pursue Xu Fan.
At that time, Feng Xiaogang's career had achieved some success, but his love life was in trouble. His marriage with his original partner Zhang Di gradually became indifferent, and the distance between the two became bigger and bigger.
Next, we will describe in detail Feng Xiaogang's efforts to marry Xu Fan.
In this way, Feng Xiaogang got rid of the shackles of marriage and began his journey of "chasing his wife for a thousand miles". He silently studied Xu Fan's interests and hobbies, and carefully planned various romantic scenes, hoping to impress the goddess in his heart.
From the initial acquaintance, to the later in-depth understanding, and then to the final love, this process requires Feng Xiaogang to invest a lot of energy and patience. He sometimes invites Xu Fan to watch his new work finish, and sometimes takes her to visit beautiful scenic spots, and every time he has intimate contact, he will go all out and strive to leave a deep impression on Xu Fan.
Fortunately, Xu Fan is not the kind of woman who is silent, and she will also respond to Feng Xiaogang's affection in her own way. Whenever Feng Xiaogang expressed his love with practical actions, Xu Fan always reciprocated with warm eyes and a kind smile, and sometimes even carefully prepared some small surprises.
These further strengthened Feng Xiaogang's determination to pursue her.
After a period of sincere communication and persistent pursuit, Feng Xiaogang finally got his wish and won Xu Fan's heart. In the warm congratulations of relatives and friends, they tied the knot and walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
In the days of the newlyweds, they are inseparable, affectionate and sweet, and every time they appear in public, they will attract envious glances.
However, life after marriage seemed to be uneventful, until one day, Xu Fan accidentally discovered some suspicious clues, which made her suddenly realize that her husband might have other women outside.
In the face of such a cruel reality, Xu Fan's heart was filled with deep pain, however, instead of roaring and shouting like ordinary people, she chose to deal with this difficult problem with contemplation and calm.
Chapter 6, the erosion and permissiveness of Feng Xiaogang's married life
It is true that Feng Xiaogang's behavior did deviate from the promise between him and Xu Fan, and he once maintained ambiguous relationships with many women in private, which undoubtedly caused Xu Fan's soul to be greatly hurt.
She once wept silently in her room alone in the silence of the night.
However, despite such a blow, Xu Fan still did not take drastic action. She seemed to realize that if they continued to fight, it would only lead to a lose-lose outcome.
Therefore, she gave up on the idea of divorce and decided to deal with the almost broken marriage in another way.
In a talk show of "Venus Show", the host Jin Xing asked about this sensitive topic bluntly, and Xu Fan responded frankly: "Anyway, there are men in our family who are making money, so it's not a big deal to let him take advantage of it."
Although her tone seemed relaxed and calm, between the lines revealed her endless tolerance and understanding of Feng Xiaogang.
In fact, Xu Fan's inner world is far more complex than what people see. She understands that once she divorces, she will lose her status as the director's wife, and her career will be seriously affected.
In contrast, it may be a relatively good option to tolerate your husband's betrayal for the time being.
What's more, Xu Fan knows that Feng Xiaogang has made great efforts for this relationship. She is unwilling to destroy all this with her own hands, and she also hopes to win a respite and rebirth for this marriage through her own compromises and concessions.
Indeed, Xu Fan seems to have nothing, but in fact he has won everything. Under her tolerance, Feng Xiaogang finally woke up, devoted himself wholeheartedly to his career, and created one outstanding film and TV series after another, and achieved brilliant achievements.
While Xu Fan herself fully supported her husband, she also pushed her acting career to the peak, and this enviable "model couple" finally embarked on the road to success.
