1. The role of Tian Yu in "Bright Sword" was performed by Tong Lei, which instantly attracted everyone's attention!
"Lao Li, look at you, which peak are you going to conquer?" This world-famous classic line is believed to have aroused the deep nostalgia and reminiscence of the work "Bright Sword" and the lively, playful, brave and straightforward nurse Tian Yu in it.
With her superb acting skills, Tong Lei has successfully created this classic image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making him a well-known legend.
In 1999, the Anti-Japanese War-themed TV series "Bright Sword" quickly detonated a ratings boom as soon as it was broadcast, and finally won the CCTV ratings crown that year with an astonishing rating of 13.7%. The images of the protagonists Li Yunlong, political commissar Zhao Gang and others in the play are unforgettable, however, Tian Yu played by Tong Lei has won warm praise from the audience.
She deftly illustrates how a young nurse grows into a brave and resolute military wife. From the initial innocence to the later maturity and stability, every detail reveals the unique charm and strength of women.
Tian Yu's gentle appearance and tenacity on the inside perfectly match Tong Lei's own personality characteristics, which can be called a match made in heaven.
It was with this role that Tong Lei became famous overnight, from an unknown newcomer to a high-profile star, and film appointments came one after another. Her wonderful performance also gave the audience a taste of the true strength of an excellent actor, thus leaving an indelible mark in the eyes of the public.
2. Tong Lei's growth path and the influence of an artistic family
Before becoming popular, Tong Lei's life experience was full of twists and turns. On January 13, 1980, she was born in an ordinary family in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.
Since she was a child, Tong Lei has been sent by her parents to various art training classes to receive all-round training in dance, piano and other aspects, so that she has been exposed to the rigorous art environment, and gradually accumulated a profound foundation and elegant temperament.
However, at that time, Tong Lei did not have too many ideas for the future, and embarking on the road of art was more of a coincidence.
In 1995, at the age of 15, Tong Lei, with the half-joking encouragement of her cousin, signed up for the examination of Zhejiang University of the Arts.
3. The five-year love song with her boyfriend in the circle on Monday dissipated like a dream
After three years of hard work, Tong Lei successfully completed her studies, faced the challenge and was admitted to the local Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe, and gradually stood out as an eye-catching Xiaohuadan. However, her youthful spirit made her unable to adapt to the general "lying flat" work attitude of her colleagues, and she was always eager to have a broader space for development.
So, she quietly invested more time and energy in studying and preparing, and finally succeeded in the prestigious Shanghai Theater Academy in 1999 with an impressive first place.
Since then, Tong Lei has officially embarked on the road to the pinnacle of art, laying a solid foundation for future glory.
With the steady rise of her career, the young and beautiful Tong Lei has also ushered in the bright spark of her emotional life. In 2006, during the filming of the TV series "Sunshine Blooms Like a Flower", she met and met the young actor Yi Yiwei in the same crew.
At first, they were just a sweet couple in the play, but in the process of getting along on and off camera, the two gradually developed a deep affection for each other. Although Zhou Yiwei was still in the initial stage of his career at that time, his sunny and handsome appearance and steady personality undoubtedly won Tong Lei's heart.
In this way, a high-profile love affair in the entertainment industry quietly unfolded. After the crew was completed, the relationship between Tong Lei and Zhou Yiwei was not interrupted, but became deeper and deeper, and they spent five years of sweet time together.
In the past five years, the outside world has been looking forward to the happy ending of this golden boy and girl, and looking forward to them entering the palace of marriage. However, just when everyone was looking forward to it, the two suddenly announced their breakup, which made countless people wonder and regret.
According to Zhou Yiwei himself, the reason for their breakup was that there was a huge difference in the life ideals of the two parties. He has a very high pursuit of art and would rather sacrifice some money, and Tong Lei has already won film contracts one after another, showing business acumen and eager to make more money.
These contradictions accumulated over time, which eventually led to the breakdown of this relationship, and the two chose to move forward separately. A seemingly logical marriage ended without a problem, and it is destined to fail to achieve positive results, which is really suffocating.
After breaking up with Zhou Yiwei, Tong Lei immediately devoted herself to the filming of the new drama "Broken Thorn", but the salary she received far exceeded the usual standard, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and people speculated whether she had a master behind her, providing her with this powerful opportunity.
This undoubtedly brought her a negative opinion of a speculator, and despite her best attempts to explain and try to calm the public's suspicions, she never cleared her name.
In fact, as early as before, Tong Lei had maintained a close relationship with Zhejiang business tycoon Zhou Xuhui for many years in private. Zhou Xuhui once had assets of up to 18 billion yuan, and even ranked among the Hurun rich list, which can be called a veritable super-rich.
He used luxury items such as luxury cars and mansions as bait, and finally succeeded in attracting Tong Lei's attention in 2012, and the two entered the palace of marriage.
Soon after marriage, Tong Lei ushered in the crystallization of their love - a cute little princess. Since then, she seems to have stepped into the world of the wealthy family of her dreams and lived a leisurely life as a husband and children.
Immerse yourself in abundant material comforts every day, no longer need to be busy for your livelihood, and live a relaxed and happy life.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, such a life may be enviable, but Tong Lei knows deep down that her husband Zhou Xuhui is actually just a "pseudo-rich". He amassed such a fortune by preparing false financial statements and accounts, and the foundation of the entire family was built on an illusory bubble.
This made Tong Lei feel worried, afraid that this marriage and happy life would be shattered in an instant. As expected, with Zhou Xuhui's commercial fraud being exposed by the regulatory authorities, this dream of a wealthy family is about to be shattered.
Part 5: Zhou Xuhui became a prisoner from a rich man, and Tong Lei returned to the showbiz to pay off his debts
Tong Lei's worries soon became a reality. In 2015, Mr. Zhou's Geeya Technology Company was subjected to severe scrutiny by the Securities and Futures Commission (CSRC) and he was sentenced to three years in prison after being accused of financial fraud.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Zhou Xuhui's business empire, and his company quickly collapsed, and all the glory and wealth of his family disappeared with it. What's even more shocking is that when Zhou Xuhui was serving his sentence in prison, the court ruled that Tong Lei must repay a huge debt of up to 140 million yuan, otherwise she will be put on the list of "old men".
To Tong Lei's extreme shock, this was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky for her! She was supposed to enjoy the life of a carefree and wealthy bride, but now she suffered such a heavy blow and became a lonely and helpless weak person in an instant.
She never expected that the magnificent life she was looking forward to when she married Zhou Xuhui would turn into a difficult situation that required her to bear huge debts.
However, Tong Lei, who was in a desperate situation, did not succumb to fate. She gritted her teeth and resolutely got out of the predicament, determined to rely on her own efforts to repay her debts and regain her life.
As a result, people once again witnessed the return of the nearly 40-year-old Tong Lei to the screen, devoting herself to filming movies and TV series to earn an income.
At that time, Tong Lei participated in many high-profile film and television masterpieces such as "Our Love" and "Splendid Stars", and did her best on the set every day and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work.
When she saw her figure appear on the screen, she always had to hold back the endless bitterness in her heart.
In the past, she was an idol admired by everyone and a smash hit star, but now she has to stand in the spotlight again at this age and perform with all her might, just to maintain the family's livelihood and reduce the debt burden.
In the face of the happy life of her peers or lovers, she can only silently endure the tricks of fate.
The vagaries of life are really emotional. Tong Lei once thought that she had entered a wealthy family and lived a prosperous and wealthy life, but who would have thought that she would fall into such an embarrassing situation and have to struggle hard in the trough of her career to find a way to survive.
Sixth, the current situation of her ex-boyfriend Zhou Yiwei is in stark contrast to Tong Lei
In stark contrast to Tong Lei's current bumpy fate, it is her former lover Zhou Yiwei. They broke up in the first place because of differences in emotional and career pursuits.
However, time flies, and now it seems that Zhou Zhouwei's original choice was undoubtedly a wise move.
Compared with the twists and turns of Tong Lei's life, Zhou Yiwei has had a smooth journey over the years. He tied the knot with the well-known host Zhu Dan, the two are very affectionate, and they already have lovely children, which can be described as a double harvest of love and career.
In terms of career, Zhou Yiwei not only starred in a number of film and television dramas with good box office reputation, but also won the highest honor of the Academy Award actor in 2021 with his excellent acting skills, which can be described as the peak moment of his career.
When we witness such an enviable beautiful life, we can't help but sigh at the rich emotions and experiences that may emerge from Tong Lei in this situation. Looking back, if she could give up the desire to chase money and wealth, but stick to her deep love for Zhou Yiwei, then what she enjoys today is undoubtedly such a sweet and harmonious happy life.
However, fate has always played tricks on human beings in its own unique way, and it is only because of the choices made in the first moment that they have decided that their life trajectories are completely different, but we should still express our deepest respect and encouragement to Tong Lei, and praise her for her perseverance and courage in the face of many difficulties.
