In the Chinese film industry, the love between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li was once a good story, which attracted the envy of everyone. However, who would have thought that a man named Zhang Weiping, like a time bomb, would finally detonate this seemingly indestructible relationship? The story begins in 1990, when the booming Zhang Yimou was having dinner with the rising star Gong Li, and Zhang Weiping, a man who was ostensibly just an ordinary businessman, began his carefully planned approach plan at this moment.
Zhang Weiping's background is not simple. He was originally a small clerk in drug procurement at the Fourth People's Hospital in Beijing, and his education was only high school. But after meeting his current wife, Zhang Jing, his life has changed dramatically.
Through Zhang Jing's special relationship, Zhang Weiping successfully joined Siemens AG in 1987 and started a new business career.
With a keen business vision, Zhang Weiping earned his first pot of gold in the investment field. However, this is only the beginning, and his ambitions go far beyond that. When he heard the news that Zhang Yimou was having dinner with Gong Li, a bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.
Zhang Weiping took advantage of his wife's identity as a fan of Gong Li, and successfully gained the trust and favor of Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, and then approached and established contact with them.
As time passed, Zhang Weiping gradually understood the weaknesses in Zhang Yimou's character, so he began to carefully formulate strategies that gradually and deeply affected Zhang Yimou's life and career.
Zhang Weiping has cunning and clever methods, and can always help Zhang Yimou in time when he needs it most, and gradually build a relationship of trust between them.
Zhang Weiping is not satisfied with only approaching Zhang Yimou, he knows the cruelty of business competition. In order to make Zhang Yimou believe in him, he even did not hesitate to design a trap to expel Gong Li.
Zhang Weiping believes that Gong Li's personality is too strong and will become a difficult variable to control, so it must be eliminated as soon as possible.
In order to achieve his goal, Zhang Weiping began to fan the flames around Zhang Yimou. He took advantage of the friendly relationship between his wife Zhang Jing and Gong Li to skillfully create misunderstandings and contradictions.
Whenever there is a disagreement between Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping will always appear at the right time, seemingly analyzing the situation fairly, but in fact secretly stirring up.
As time passed, Zhang Weiping became more and more influential in Zhang Yimou's life. Not only did he participate in Zhang Yimou's filmmaking, but he also began to intervene in his personal life.
Zhang Weiping's goal is very clear: to become Zhang Yimou's most trusted person and take full control of his career and life.
In this orchestrated power game, Zhang Weiping shows his extraordinary business acumen and personal connections, gradually putting Zhang Yimou in a passive position.
And Zhang Yimou is still intoxicated with the glory of his career, unaware of the quiet changes that are taking place around him.
In 1987, Zhang Yimou directed the movie "Red Sorghum", and chose college student Gong Li to play the heroine "Jiu'er", and the story of the two began.
After the two decided to work together, they started a new journey and planted the seeds of love. At that time, Gong Li was still a newcomer who had just stepped out of the campus, but Zhang Yimou seemed to see her potential at a glance and chose her without hesitation.
In the following years, Zhang Yimou praised Gong Li in almost every work, and the relationship between the two also heated up day by day in the cooperation. Zhang Yimou regards Gong Li as a treasure in the film industry and does his best to cultivate her.
Gong Li showed amazing acting skills and charm in Zhang Yimou's film works, winning the love of the audience. Their cooperation has led to a gradual deepening of the relationship between the two.
However, this relationship, which caused a sensation in the film industry, suffered a historic turn in 1995. This year, Gong Li was invited by Huang Hexiang to Hong Kong to participate in an event sponsored by him.
Gong Li danced with Huang Hexiang as special guests, which is a normal social activity. However, Zhang Weiping's wife Zhang Jing added fuel and vinegar in front of Zhang Yimou, suggesting that Gong Li and Huang Hexiang had an improper relationship.
Zhang Weiping's interjection and fanning the flames deepened Zhang Yimou's suspicion of Gong Li. He skillfully used Zhang Yimou's concern for Gong Li to amplify the impact of this small incident.
Although Zhang Yimou has always trusted Gong Li, after being continuously hinted and provoked, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
After returning to Beijing from Hong Kong, Gong Li asked Zhang Yimou expectantly when the wedding would be held, but Zhang Yimou's answer seemed hesitant and vague.
This attitude made Gong Li, who has high self-esteem, feel hurt and disappointed, and she couldn't accept that her eight years of deep affection had been exchanged for such a fragile marriage commitment.
There was a communication problem between Gong Li and Zhang Yimou. Gong Li expected to get a concrete promise, but Zhang Yimou was unable to give a positive answer due to his inner doubts. After the problem lasted for some time, there was a rift in the relationship between the two parties.
Throughout the process, Zhang Weiping has been manipulating behind his back, which has exacerbated the misunderstanding between the two. He used his trust relationship with Zhang Yimou to constantly instill information that was unfavorable to Gong Li to Zhang Yimou.
At the same time, he skillfully used Gong Li's self-esteem to make her mistakenly think that Zhang Yimou did not pay enough attention to this relationship.
The sensational love between Gong Li and Zhang Yimou ended regrettably. The two have strong self-esteem and are unwilling to compromise easily, and they broke up between misunderstanding and suspicion.
This ending undoubtedly made Zhang Weiping ecstatic. He knew that without Gong Li's existence, Zhang Yimou's life would lose an important pillar, so he could control Zhang Yimou more easily.
Due to the intervention of outsiders, this relationship, which was supposed to blossom, eventually died.
In 1996, when Zhang Yimou was breaking up with Gong Li and his career was at a low point, Zhang Weiping took the opportunity to come to him as a "bosom friend".
Zhang Yimou, who is preparing the movie "Something to Say", is distressed that no one is willing to invest. Zhang Weiping saw that this was a good opportunity and immediately took out his savings for many years for filming.
Surprisingly, the box office of "Something to Say" was dismal after its release, and the final loss exceeded 10 million yuan. However, in the face of such a huge loss, Zhang Weiping behaved extremely tolerant and did not blame Zhang Yimou in the slightest.
Zhang Yimou is very grateful for this, and has more trust in Zhang Weiping since then. Zhang Weiping's strategy was quite successful, and he used money to win Zhang Yimou's trust, paving the way for subsequent control.
At a dinner, Zhang Weiping did not even take into account the reprimands of investors, which led to the failure of cooperation. In the face of Zhang Yimou's questioning, he cleverly said that this was to protect Zhang Yimou's interests.
Zhang Weiping claimed that other investors had bad intentions, and only he was the one who really thought about Zhang Yimou.
This method not only monopolized Zhang Yimou's resources, but also made Zhang Yimou more and more dependent on Zhang Weiping. Zhang Weiping successfully portrayed himself as Zhang Yimou's only trusted partner, while others were subtly excluded by him.
In 2001, Zhang Yimou was appointed as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and for this he was awarded the title of "National Teacher". This was the pinnacle of Zhang Yimou's career, but Zhang Weiping took this glory for himself.
He began to declare on various occasions that without his support, Zhang Yimou would not have been able to achieve what he is today.
When Zhang Yimou devoted himself to the preparations for the Olympic Games and his economic income plummeted, Zhang Weiping sat on the sidelines to reap the benefits. He took advantage of Zhang Yimou's lack of time to take care of other affairs and secretly manipulated Zhang Yimou's career and personal life.
Zhang Weiping further tightened his grip on Zhang Yimou during the period between 2006 and 2008 when he even had to run his day-to-day business in a café in order to focus on his work at the Olympics.
After the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhang Weiping's behavior became more arrogant and unscrupulous. He openly claimed that without his strong support, Zhang Yimou would never have achieved today's great success.
He even lied, saying that he once gave Zhang Yimou a car, but in fact it was only temporarily lent to him.
Although Zhang Yimou knew the facts, he never cared about the old friendship between the two.
In 2010, when Zhang Yimou bought the copyright of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and was about to shoot a movie, Zhang Weiping sold the copyright of the TV series without Zhang Yimou's consent.
Although the TV series made a lot of money after it was broadcast, Zhang Yimou didn't get a penny.
These behaviors have shown Zhang Weiping's ambition and desire for control, and also exposed his covetousness for Zhang Yimou's achievements. He used Zhang Yimou's trust and emphasis on friendship to continuously expand his influence, while also unknowingly eroding Zhang Yimou's career and personal life.
As Zhang Yimou's partner, Zhang Weiping is cunning and scheming, trying to help Zhang Yimou when he is most vulnerable, and then taking the opportunity to expand his control. He took advantage of Zhang Yimou's cherishing of friendship to continuously deepen the relationship between the two, and at the same time secretly laid out to seek the greatest interests for himself.
This well-orchestrated control game puts Zhang Yimou passively at a disadvantage, while Zhang Weiping controls everything behind the scenes.
In 2001, Zhang Yimou was appointed chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, an appointment that was undoubtedly the pinnacle of his career. This honor not only marks that his achievements in the field of art have been highly recognized by the state, but also makes him known as a "national teacher".
In order to devote himself to the preparations for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou had to suspend his film creation. This means that for the next five years, his main focus will be on this important national task.
However, with the sharp decline in economic income, Zhang Yimou's rich income from movies has disappeared, and he has recently experienced financial difficulties.
During the difficult period from 2011 to 2015, Zhang Weiping took advantage of Zhang Yimou's lack of time to take care of other affairs and secretly manipulated Zhang Yimou's career and personal life.
Zhang Weiping's behavior is reminiscent of a shrewd trader. When Zhang Yimou was at his most vulnerable, he always continued to expand his influence.
After the successful conclusion of the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou should have received praise and respect, however, Zhang Weiping began to promote his "merits" without scruples.
He openly claimed that without his great help, Zhang Yimou's achievements today would never have been realized. This behavior shows Zhang Weiping's ambition and his greed for Zhang Yimou's achievements.
Zhang Weiping's despicable behavior even went to the point of fabricating lies, claiming that he had given Zhang Yimou a car as a work car, when in fact it was only temporarily borrowed. This kind of small kindness and small favors is in stark contrast to Zhang Yimou's great contribution to the country, which highlights Zhang Weiping's shamelessness even more.
Although Zhang Yimou knew Zhang Weiping's behavior, he never cared about the old feelings. This kind of tolerance, to a certain extent, also gives Zhang Weiping more room for manipulation.
During this period of time, Zhang Yimou's Olympic glory has been slightly dim in the shadow of Zhang Weiping. It was supposed to be the peak moment of his life, but because of the existence of this so-called "confidant and friend" beside him, it became complicated and indescribable.
In 2010, Zhang Yimou purchased the copyright of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" with enthusiasm, preparing to put this work on the big screen. However, what he didn't expect was that this film project became the fuse for the breakdown of his relationship with Zhang Weiping.
Without Zhang Yimou's knowledge, Zhang Weiping sold the copyright of the TV series "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" without authorization. When the TV series was broadcast and made huge profits, Zhang Yimou did not get any benefits.
This incident made Zhang Yimou deeply betrayed, and also made him start to re-examine his relationship with Zhang Weiping. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more issues that need to be addressed.
What is shocking is that Zhang Weiping has developed an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Yimou's wife Chen Ting. This secret, which has been hidden for many years, is like a time bomb that could detonate the relationship between the two at any time.
In 2011, a seemingly ordinary thing revealed Zhang Weiping's true face. When Zhang Yimou's eldest son was faced with the problem of enrollment, he found out that the children's identification documents turned out to be black households.
Zhang Yimou was struck by lightning, and he realized that Zhang Weiping, who had been in charge of handling these affairs all along, had concealed and failed to report such an important issue. His trust over the years may have been all based on lies.
In order to ensure the future of the children, Zhang Yimou resolutely decided to officially enter the marriage hall with Chen Ting. However, after learning of this news, Zhang Weiping unexpectedly strongly objected.
His reaction was not only confusing, but also cast doubt on his motives.
Zhang Weiping spoke disrespectfully to Zhang Yimou's mother, and when Zhang Yimou's mother personally called to ask him why he wanted to intervene in her son's life, this scene was heard by Zhang Yimou, completely breaking his last trust in Zhang Weiping.
In 2012, the publicity period of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" came, but it became the last straw for the complete breakdown of the relationship between the two. Zhang Weiping proposed to focus on the passion scene in the film, but this suggestion was immediately strongly opposed by Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou believes that such behavior will not only hurt the reputation of the actress, but also desecrate the artistic value and spiritual connotation of the film.
The disagreement exposed Mr. Zhang's excessive pursuit of business interests, while also revealing the stark differences in values between the two men. Zhang Yimou finally realized that the differences between them were not only in their working methods, but also in their fundamental attitudes towards life and things.
At this point, Zhang Yimou finally saw Zhang Weiping's true face and the fact that he had deceived others for many years. His desire for control is also revealed, all of which was once seen as a "confidant brother" relationship, and in fact a careerist who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Zhang Yimou found that years of trust and dedication were just a scam elaborated by others.
The breakdown of this relationship is both a relief and a pain for Zhang Yimou. He had to face the fact that he had been deceived for many years, and at the same time have to re-examine his life and career.
However, this turning point also gave Zhang Yimou the opportunity to regain control of his own destiny and break free from the manipulation and shackles that Zhang Weiping had for many years.
After the relationship broke down, Zhang Weiping not only did not stop, but launched a retaliatory action against Zhang Yimou, using his connections and influence accumulated in the entertainment industry to spread rumors slandering Zhang Yimou on the Internet.
These malicious remarks are like poisonous snakes, trying to damage the reputation that Zhang Yimou has built up over the years.
What's even more distressing is that the development of those artists who have been promoted by Zhang Yimou has also been affected due to their contract with Zhang Weiping's New World Company. Zhang Weiping's revenge is not only against Zhang Yimou alone, but affects everyone related to him.
This kind of behavior not only shows Zhang Weiping's narrow vision, but also exposes his inferior humanity.
The public began to see Zhang Weiping's true face more and more, and their understanding and support for Zhang Yimou were also improving.
In the end, Zhang Weiping paid the price for his wrongdoing. His crimes were revealed, and he was imprisoned. This result is not only a punishment for Zhang Weiping, but also a kind of justice justice.
After getting rid of Zhang Weiping's control, Zhang Yimou finally regained his freedom and devoted himself to the film career he loved. Although this experience was painful, it also made him stronger and more aware of how to cherish sincere feelings and friendships.
Although Zhang Yimou's relationship with Gong Li is a thing of the past, he still continues to explore and innovate in his film career. His talent and passion have been bringing wonderful works to the audience one after another.
This story teaches us that in the face of betrayal and deception, as long as we always stick to our original intentions, we will eventually be able to usher in a bright future of our own.
Zhang Yimou's experience is an allegory of trust, betrayal, revenge and redemption, which tells a story about life that reminds us to be vigilant in our pursuit of success, to cherish our true friends and to stay away from those with bad intentions.
