From intervening in the family life of the well-known director Zhang Yimou as a third party, to choosing to marry into the family of Singaporean tobacco giant Huang Hexiang at the expense of changing nationality, to finally welcoming the love of the famous French musician Jean-Michel Jarre at the age of 71, Gong Li's emotional road is full of legends, peaks and turns, ups and downs.
Back in 1987, the world-popular movie "Red Sorghum", the young and young 22-year-old Gong Li bravely expressed her hot and hot emotions to Zhang Yimou, who had entered the marriage hall and had children.
It's a pity that Zhang Yimou was already a father at that time, and his wife Xiao Hua discovered Gong Li's passionate confession letter by chance, which undoubtedly brought Xiao Hua an unprecedented psychological blow Xiao Hua was heartbroken, and decided to put this unforgettable experience into pen and ink, revealing Gong Li's absurd behavior with the power of words.
However, even so, Zhang Yimou still chose to end his marriage with Xiao Hua. Gong Li was full of expectations that this would be the beginning of the rest of her life with the love of her heart, but unexpectedly, this man who she once regarded as a god only gave her a "worthless" promise.
After eight years of blind pursuit, Gong Li had to choose to let go and instead fell into the arms of Singaporean wealthy businessman Huang Hexiang, for the sake of this marriage, she gave up her nationality without hesitation and became a Singapore citizen.
The move attracted widespread attention at the time, as well as numerous criticisms and accusations. Many people have raised deep doubts and disappointments about her patriotism, believing that she has betrayed her country for personal gain.
However, happiness is always short-lived, and Gong Li and Huang Hexiang's marriage did not last long, and eventually broke down, which undoubtedly made her previous behaviors seem ridiculous and ridiculous, and also made her pay a heavy price for it.
It was not until 2021, after decades of ups and downs, that Gong Li applied for the restoration of Chinese nationality again, as if seeking redemption. Now, Gong Li, who is 71 years old, has finally ushered in a new partner, Mr. Yar.
In an interview with the media, she said frankly: "Marriage is very important for everyone, and we should all cherish it" This life realization may not be easy to come by, but it is indeed a valuable experience after experiencing many emotional traumas and grinds.
Looking back on 1987, 22-year-old Gong Li met Zhang Yimou for the first time on the set of "Red Sorghum", which kicked off a prelude to an emotional entanglement that lasted for eight years.
In that turbulent era, the talented newcomer Gong Li was taken in by the famous director Zhang Yimou at a glance, and chose her as the protagonist of "Jiu'er" in the movie "Red Sorghum" without any doubt.
Although Gong Li, who has just set foot in the entertainment industry, is still rusty and immature in acting, under the careful guidance of director Zhang Yimou, her husband shines with a smart light, and gradually grows from a green cabbage to a bright artistic flower.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the bold and enthusiastic intimate scenes in the movie "Red Sorghum" were directed and carefully filmed by Zhang Yimou himself. In such a working environment where the two actors accompany each other day and night, day and night, they gradually develop a deep relationship.
Gong Li's passionate performance in the film is deeply imprinted in Zhang Yimou's heart.
With the huge success of "Red Sorghum", Gong Li has become a household name, and Zhang Yimou also sees endless possibilities and potential in her. Since then, they have co-created many popular works, such as "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Ju Dou" and so on, and each time they have achieved a double victory in word-of-mouth and box office.
In the eyes of many film critics, they are undoubtedly a perfect match made in heaven like "Bole and Maxima".
However, in Gong Li's heart, Zhang Yimou is not only the director she admires, but also the object of love that she has devoted all her efforts to. She longed to spend the rest of her life with this brilliant artist, even at the cost of a third party's stigma and intervention in his otherwise happy family.
What is ironic is that during that time, Gong Li actually had a boyfriend. Whenever she took the initiative to invite Zhang Yimou to meet, the boyfriend would be furious and violently act against her.
However, Gong Li, who fell in love, turned a blind eye to this, and still went her own way, and finally parted ways with her boyfriend.
After the breakup, instead of restraining her emotions, Gong Li became more unscrupulous and publicly published an enthusiastic confession letter to Zhang Yimou. This "courtship letter" was inadvertently discovered by Zhang Yimou's wife Xiao Hua at the time, which caused her to suffer unprecedented psychological trauma, and she had to record this experience, bravely revealing Gong Li's absurd behavior.
Despite this, after being entangled for eight years, Gong Li finally closed the door of hope that led to the union with Zhang Yimou and went to a foreign country. Perhaps physically and mentally exhausted from repeated rejections, she can only use this way to vent her inner unwillingness and resentment.
In the ever-changing entertainment industry, interpreting large-scale dramas is often like walking on the tip of a knife, which is not only difficult to predict the impact it may have on actors, but also easy to ruin the actor's star career.
However, who would have imagined that the talented Gong Li would frequently challenge the limits in her youth, and in many heavyweight works such as "Zhou Yu's Train", there were frequent mysterious rumors of "fake drama and real work", which attracted much attention However, she was able to enjoy this "privilege" exclusively, without damaging her reputation at all.
Back in 1993, Gong Li boldly challenged the nude camera in "Painting the Soul" directed by Zhang Yimou, which undoubtedly brought her huge controversy and criticism. However, Gong Li, who was intoxicated with Zhang Yimou's love at the time, ignored these doubts.
It wasn't until she broke up with Zhang Yimou that she really released herself and showed a more bold and decisive style of acting, for example, in the movie "Zhou Yu's Train" co-starring Sun Honglei, the intimate scenes between the two were so lingering and sympathetic that many viewers questioned whether there was "crossing the line".
Moreover, in 2005, Gong Li and Zhang Zhen co-starred in the movie "Eros", the scale of which is even more jaw-dropping. Especially those explicit shots that tease Zhang Zhen are even more reverie, with crimson cheeks and a racing heartbeat.
What's even more amazing is that in the art film "2046" directed by Wong Kar-wai, some of Gong Li's performance scales completely exceed the bottom line of the public's cognition, but she can still maintain the state of "red does not let fire", is honored as "queen", and enjoys the VIP courtesy of various international film festivals.
However, in contrast, many actresses who have starred in revealing scenes in film and television works have either been ruthlessly "hidden", or have been completely boycotted and banned by the entire entertainment industry.
In fact, the key to Gong Li's ability to obtain this "privilege" lies in her professionalism and dedication as an actor. During the filming of "Red Sorghum", in order to perfectly present the scene of carrying water, she did not hesitate to wear out the skin on her shoulders, and she never complained.
In the famous "fan play" in "Memoirs of a Geisha", she began her arduous training five months in advance, wielding the fan more than 2,000 times a day, and finally succeeded in creating amazing dance moves that won the applause of everyone.
