Few people know that Chen Hong was once known as "the first beauty in the mainland".
Even today, the 55-year-old still looks like a girl in her 20s.
It's no wonder that he was able to charm the two major directors in the entertainment industry with his charm.
Speaking of Chen Hong now, the first thing that comes to mind for those who know her is her husband Chen Kaige.
"Chen Kaige's wife" has become Chen Hong's current label.
But don't underestimate Chen Hong, she is not just a "vase".
In addition to being an actor, Chen Hong is also an excellent producer.
Chen Kaige can have today's achievements, and Chen Hong's help behind it is indispensable.
So, how beautiful is Chen Hong, and what kind of story does she have with her predecessor and current one?
Born beautiful
The reason why Chen Hong has come to this point today is due to the education of her parents and family.
Chen Hong was born in Shangrao, Shanghai in 1968, and at that time, Chen Hong's family situation had exceeded 99% of ordinary families.
Both parents are high-level intellectuals, and even the identity of grandparents is not simple.
My grandfather was the commander of the Hunan Military Region, and my grandmother was also the chief of the guerrilla education section in the Shanxi-Henan Border Region.
As a baby bump in the hearts of her family, Chen Hong is naturally cared for and cared for by the whole family.
Under the careful care of her family, Chen Hong has shown her talent in art since she was a child.
Not only does she look like a beautiful embryo, but she also has a handy grasp of art-related things, and has been a literary and artistic cadre since she was a child.
After growing up, Chen Hong is even more slim, and has always adhered to his own literary and artistic path.
In 1986, with her beautiful appearance and many years of experience in literature and art, coupled with her excellent grades, Chen Hong was successfully admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy.
In the process of studying in the play, Chen Hong also worked very hard, and her young and beautiful appearance also added a lot of points to her performance.
After graduation, Chen Hong was directly assigned to the Beijing Youth Art Theater with her excellent grades and began her acting career.
It is famous for "Diao Chan".
As early as when Chen Hong didn't graduate, she started acting.
"There is Spring Water Here" is the first work in Chen Hong's life, and with this work, Chen Hong successfully knocked on the door of the film and television industry.
In the following years, Chen Hong also starred in many works, "Liao Zhai" and "The Love of Dai Girls" are all part of Chen Hong's early works.
Although Chen Hong also performed very well in these works, she did not become popular because of these works.
What really made everyone pay attention to Chen Hong was the classical drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" starring Chen Hong in 1991.
In this drama, Chen Hong plays Diao Chan, who is famous for her beauty in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and is known as one of the "four beauties" in Chinese history.
With the help of his own appearance advantages, coupled with years of accumulated acting experience, Chen Hong successfully interpreted the role of "Diao Chan" vividly.
Even though there were multiple versions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" later, Chen Hong's "Diao Chan" was unanimously recognized by many audiences.
With the help of the image of "Diao Chan", Chen Hong began to quickly become popular in the film and television industry, and constantly received invitations from various crews to create one excellent work after another.
From Chang'e in "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" to Li Mochou in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Chen Hong has become the childhood memory of countless young people.
Controversial relationship history
However, even if she is the "No. 1 beauty in the mainland", she is just an ordinary woman emotionally.
In 1996, Chen Hong and Chen Kaige met for the first time in a crew.
At that time, Chen Kaige was already a well-known director in the film and television industry, and he had been in love with Ni Ping, the "first sister of CCTV", for many years, to the point of talking about marriage.
Even so, Chen Kaige was still surprised by Chen Hong's appearance the moment he saw Chen Hong.
Although Chen Kaige already had Ni Ping at that time, even if he was so famous, Ni Ping's help was indispensable.
But this can't change the lustful nature of men, as the saying goes: "When a man is rich, he becomes bad", and this sentence is no exception to Chen Kaige.
After being attracted by Chen Hong, Chen Kaige also ignored his identity as a "married man" and began to launch a fierce pursuit of Chen Hong.
One is an actor and the other is a great director, whether it is because of strength or love, Chen Hong finally came together with Chen Kaige.
Since Chen Kaige had not broken up with Ni Ping at that time, the relationship between the two still could not be put on the bright side.
But how could Chen Hong be willing to be Chen Kaige's "lover" all the time, what she values is Chen Kaige's status as the mother of the palace.
As the two dated for longer and longer, Chen Hong began to urge Chen Kaige to break up with Ni Ping.
But Chen Kaige did not agree at that time, and said that he and Ni Ping already had the intention of getting married, maybe in Chen Kaige's heart, Chen Hong is a "lover" identity.
Seeing that her request was refused, Chen Hong was unwilling to live like this, and decided to find other ways to "force" Chen Kaige to make a decision.
Chen Hong's method is that "mothers are more expensive than children", after being pregnant with Chen Kaige's child, Chen Hong directly found Ni Ping with a big belly and told her the truth of the matter.
In the face of Chen Kaige's betrayal, Ni Ping couldn't believe it for a while, but it was a fact that Chen Hong was pregnant, if it wasn't for Chen Kaige's child, how could she dare to be so arrogant.
With the addition of the child, the relationship between Chen Kaige and Ni Ping naturally ended in a breakup, and Chen Hong also successfully "ascended" with the child.
Although Chen Hong's relationship with Chen Kaige has been discussed by everyone, some people even say that Chen Hong is a "little three".
But the two who loved each other finally stepped into the palace of marriage together.
Surprisingly, before the two got married, it was even rumored that Chen Hong had lived together with their witness, director Teng Wenji, for six years.
In the face of reporters' interviews, family members and friends on both sides refused to express their positions.
Retired to the background as a producer
After the two got married, Chen Hong suspended her work because of the birth of a child and concentrated on being a full-time wife at home.
gave birth to two sons to Chen Kaige one after another, and the family lived a happy life.
After the birth of her youngest son Chen Feiyu, Chen Hong slowly withdrew from the film and television industry, but this does not mean that Chen Hong completely disappeared from the film and television industry.
Although Chen Hong no longer acts, she has retreated behind the scenes to become a producer.
In order to improve her professional level, Chen Hong also went to the United States for further study.
may have seen Chen Hong a long time ago that there is always an end to the road of actors, but producers can always be active in the film and television industry.
In 2010, the costume film "Zhao's Orphan", which Chen Hong served as the chief producer for the first time, was officially released, and what is even more coincidental is that this drama is still directed by Chen Kaige.
In the days that followed, the couple also collaborated on a number of films together, such as "Searching" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat", which were all works created by the two.
It seems that Chen Hong, the producer, is dedicated to serving Chen Kaige and doing all the logistics for him.
epilogue
