In Provence, the romantic capital of France, in a unique and quiet country house, a 67-year-old woman, Gong Li, quietly sits in front of the window to enjoy the tranquility alone.
The light in her eyes gradually faded, exuding a faint sadness, as if she was recalling the various scenery in the journey of life, outside the window, the entire field of vision was covered with emerald green lawns, blooming flowers and dancing butterflies, but at this moment, her mood was like the heavy stone wall behind the villa, so that she could not find herself.
Although they are now accompanied by the talented French musical giant Jarre, their relationship has not broken through the boundaries of lovers, and a deep sigh fills the air towards the altar of marriage, and Gong Li begins to re-examine his magnificent life.
Those once dazzling honors, brilliant achievements, and the emotional entanglement with Zhang Yimou seem to be repeating the scenes in front of you.
Gong Li weakly covered her forehead with her hands, the once black and bright short hair with her ears had lost its former luster and became pale and weak, she gently touched the back of her wrinkled hand, and her heart surged with endless emotion Gong Li when she was young Gong Li was so vigorous and full of ideals, but now she is only left with loneliness and helplessness.
She silently prayed for a happy and fulfilling life in the next life, where is the starting point of no longer wandering around like this life? Where does it end? Gong Li stared at the vibrant green field outside the window, silent for a long time, without an answer.
Time seems to have returned to the early 80s of the 20th century, when Gong Li was in her youthful girlhood. Her jet-black hair, bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate skin all show her otherworldly beauty.
Her unique temperament and outstanding talent soon attracted the attention of Zhang Yimou, a leading figure in the film industryIn 1987, Zhang Yimou was preparing his directorial debut "Red Sorghum", but he was constantly struggling to find the right heroine.
It wasn't until he saw Gong Li for the first time in an interview at the Central Academy of Drama that he was impressed by her demeanor, "Child, you are destined to become a great actor!" Zhang Yimou sighed in his heart, so he did not hesitate to entrust the crucial role of "Jiu'er" in the first masterpiece of his life "Red Sorghum", as well as his life's work, to this young Gong Li.
At this moment of glory, Gong Li was extremely excited, she felt a great responsibility, and she was determined to go all out to shape this role with her acting skills.
Facts have proved that under the careful guidance of Zhang Yimou's master, Gong Li gradually found a unique way of interpretation, showing the heroic and fearless character image of "Jiu'er" who dares to challenge traditional feudal thinking.
Back in 1988, the dazzling film "Red Sorghum" was finally released under the dedication and wonderful performance of such a little girl.
Gong Li's excellent acting skills won warm applause from the audience, and the film set off a huge response at home and abroad, pushing this fledgling newcomer to the pinnacle of the Chinese film industry in one fell swoop.
This undoubtedly paved a road to a brilliant future for Gong Li.
The reason why Gong Li became famous overnight is inseparable from her firm belief and persistent pursuit of her dreams. Looking back on her growth process, we can clearly see that since she was a child, Gong Li has had the dream of becoming an excellent actor.
In 1965, Gong Li was born in an ordinary family, as the youngest daughter in the family, she did not receive special attention at home. Although her family is not wealthy, her parents are deeply attracted by her natural talent for music and dance.
As she grew older, Gong Li developed a strong resistance to the life trajectory her parents set for her. In her adolescence, she burned deep in her heart with endless longing and longing for a broad stage.
When she was in junior high school, Gong Li did not hesitate to join the school's art team and learn the basic skills of acting from scratch.
When the god of luck came, Gong Li was discovered by a discerning director and encouraged: "Child, you will definitely become an outstanding actor in the future!" Since then, the dream has laid a solid foundation in Gong Li's heart.
Despite the opposition of her family, she still did not choose to give up even when she failed to take the college entrance examination many times. Even when her parents insisted on severing her relationship, she still stuck to her original intention and moved forward.
After unremitting efforts, Gong Li finally received the admission letter from the Central Academy of Drama as she wished, and officially embarked on the journey of chasing her dreams.
Along the way, Gong Li has touched countless people with her sincere dreams and indomitable will. And her firm belief in her dreams and never-say-die spirit finally brought her to the bright stage of life.
From the moment she stepped into the China Academy of Drama, Gong Li was instantly favored by Zhang Yimou, who had already won the title of director of many famous films. At that time in 1987, Zhang Yimou was full of ambition to prepare his first masterpiece, "Red Sorghum", however, he was troubled in the search for the ideal heroine.
Until one day, during an interview in Chinese opera, his eyes were instantly attracted by the 18-year-old freshman Gong Li in front of him and fell in love with it.
Zhang Yimou admired Gong Li's unique artistic atmosphere and free and easy demeanor. What's more critical is that Gong Li feels like the rebirth of the "Jiu'er" deity, showing that fearless, bold and brave personality.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou did not hesitate to decide to choose this young girl as the heroine of "Red Sorghum".
Although Gong Li was immature at the time, her acting skills were still a little young, and NG often appeared on the set, which even affected the filming progress. However, Zhang Yimou still guided carefully, patiently guided, and carefully polished her into a talent bit by bit in front of the camera.
Over time, an emotion that transcends the teacher-student relationship quietly sprouts between them.
Zhang Yimou admires her soft and slender figure, loves her innate artistic temperament, and admires her serious dedication and dedication to challenge.
And Gong Li was also deeply impressed by the man who could stand side by side with him in the spotlight.
However, this relationship brought a heavy blow to Zhang Yimou's wife Xiao Hua. Once, Xiao Hua accidentally discovered a love letter written by Gong Li to Zhang Yimou, which was full of fiery longing and affection, which made her so angry that she could barely breathe.
Xiao Hua immediately found Gong Li's boyfriend and punched him, and the boyfriend was also furious, and returned home to beat Gong Li. Gong Li therefore strengthened her determination to divorce Zhang Yimou and tie the knot.
However, Zhang Yimou does not seem to take this relationship too seriously, he only wants to maintain the status quo and be unfettered. Therefore, in 1995, due to differences in marriage, Gong Li resolutely chose to break up.
The following year, she entered the palace of life of Singaporean businessman Huang Hexiang.
At the reunion many years later, when Zhang Yimou invited Gong Li to work together again, although she hesitated in her heart, she finally readily agreed.
Despite the fact that it has been many years since they broke up, the two seem to have reluctantly.
However, what is deeply puzzling is that there is still speculation in the society about whether they have private feelings, because the "Seeking Love" controversy back then was too shocking!
In fact, no matter how intense the attention and speculation of the outside world about whether Gong Li and Zhang Yimou may still rekindle their old relationship, in some subsequent works, Gong Li's charm is undoubtedly enough to arouse heated discussions and widespread attention in society.
For example, when the movie "Zhou Yu's Train" co-starring Gong Li and the famous actor Sun Honglei was released, many of their passionate and intimate scenes in the film aroused widespread speculation and heated discussions in the world! In the movie, the prostitute character played by Gong Li shows a strong allure to Sun Honglei, as well as some of the bed scenes between them, all of which are full of ambiguity and passion.
At that time, many people were speculating whether Gong Li and Sun Honglei really "did the fake scene" during the filming process? This speculation is not unfounded, because soon after, the paparazzi exposed photos of them living together, and Gong Li showed extreme affection to Sun Honglei.
However, this relationship did not last long, and Sun Honglei quickly snubbed Gong Li. Obviously, he just wanted to use the scandal with Gong Li to attract the public's attention, take the opportunity to hype up his popularity, and when his popularity exploded, he ruthlessly abandoned Gong Li behind him.
And the biggest surprise to everyone is the high-profile erotic blockbuster "Eros" that Gong Li participated in in 2005. Since its debut, this film has suffered overwhelming controversy and has been questioned by public opinion as a "vulgar and pornographic" work.
Among them, the most talked about picture by the audience is the courtesan played by Gong Li, who boldly fades the clothes of the male protagonist Zhang Zhen, gently caresses his private parts with his fingers, and says in a seductive voice: "If you want to become a tailor, then in the coming days, you will come into contact with countless women."
In this film, Zhang Zhen, under the guidance of Gong Li, successfully completed his "first experience" as a man. Such a straightforward and explicit plot that made people blush and heartbeat undoubtedly caused huge controversy and repercussions among the audience at that time.
Some people praised Gong Li's superb acting skills, calling her "an excellent actor who is truly worthy of the audience's pursuit!" However, some people directly accused the film of being too pornographic and vulgar, and even called it a "tertiary film".
In any case, this film with a large scale and explicit content has made Gong Li once again a hot topic after dinner. She seems to be consciously or unintentionally, trying to vent some grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart in this way.
