Want to learn more about Zhang Yimou's growth story and emotional experience? Let's take a look!
Zhang Yimou has shown outstanding talent for making movies since he was young, but given his family background and identity, his alma mater has always taken good care of him.
In 1977, Zhang Yimou applied for the photography department of Beijing Film Academy, and was finally admitted and began his film school life.
During his time at the college, Zhang Yimou showed excellent photography talent, and his teachers and classmates had high hopes for him, and Zhang Yimou also cherished this opportunity and studied hard.
With this, Zhang Yimou's life has also changed dramatically, he fell in love with a person who brought him the best things in life.
Zhang Yimou's upbringing and emotional experience shaped his inner tenacity and perseverance, and also influenced his creation.
The first paragraph: the people who meet
In 1984, Zhang Yimou participated in the filming of the movie "One and Eight", which was also his debut film.
Although Zhang Yimou was only 24 years old at the time, he already had rich shooting experience, and this shooting made Zhang Yimou's talent recognized by the industry.
In this shooting, Zhang Yimou met a person, a great person.
Her name is Chen Ting, and she was born into a prominent family in Shanghai, but when she was 17 years old, her father was arrested on suspicion of the "Gang of Four".
Although Chen Ting has a prominent background, she does not have any vanity, she is independent and strong.
In 1965, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua became good friends, Xiao Hua cared for him very much, and the relationship between the two warmed up, but later parted ways.
In the years since, the two have remained in close contact and have no suspicions in their relationship.
It's a pity that due to the pressure of Xiao Hua's family and the distortion of his personality caused by his own experience, they broke up after seven years of dating.
Although the relationship suffered setbacks, Zhang Yimou did not give up looking for his own love.
With this, Zhang Yimou has also continued to make progress in his career.
In 1987, Zhang Yimou won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director for the movie "Red Sorghum", and met Gong Li, the most important female friend in his life, during the filming.
The two became each other's best friends, and at the same time provided spiritual support for Zhang Yimou's many later turmoil.
In 1993, during the filming of "Alive", Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting reunited.
At this time, Chen Ting was 40 years old, and she had already let go of a lot of baggage after many years of wandering.
After the two got back together, they worked together for more than 20 years.
The second paragraph: small happiness in the family
Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting have been together for more than 20 years, the family is happy, and the children have their own successes.
This is inseparable from the importance that the two attach to their families and the education of their children.
Although the two are very busy, they will accompany the children as long as they have time.
Both boys and girls should strive to become better and more independent in their eyes.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting are not prejudiced because of gender.
In Zhang Yimou's view, family life should be equal, harmonious, full of happiness and freedom.
This is the only way that they can leave their home in the care of their parents while they are away.
The children also grew up in such an environment, working hard and fearlessly doing what they wanted to do outside.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting are exactly like this, the reason why they are able to maintain a happy family life while achieving success in their respective careers.
It is because they understand how to balance family life and career development, and how to deal with it.
In the 35 years from 1965 to 2000, brilliant achievements have been made under the careful polishing of Zhang Yimou.
As a director, actor, producer and public figure, he has won numerous awards and respects in the great countries of the East and even around the world.
Many people may think that it takes a lot of time and effort to do so, thus making themselves absent or even irresponsible in the family.
But in fact, in Zhang Yimou's view, whether they choose a partner in their career or marriage, it means that they have to take responsibility.
They need to support each other to move forward, tolerate and understand each other, and make progress together; The same is true for families, where success should be passed on to every member of the family.
On April 2, 1950, Zhang Yimou was born in an ordinary family in Xi'an, Shaanxi, his father was a quartermaster of the G Civil D Army, and his mother was an excellent dancer.
Both parents have shined in their own fields and have received applause and praise from many people; But it also seems to put a lot of pressure on parents.
Her father stalked her after he met her mother, and eventually succeeded in chasing her; Although the father chased the object of his affection, the two did not live a happy life.
's father seems to have been living in the shadow of his mother, and after his mother quit his job in the dance team, he began to slowly hollow out his father's beloved thing - the cross talk actor team.
At that time, my mother also said that she would take good care of my father after retirement and solve all the trivial problems in life; And the father has also said that he will not restrict his mother from developing what he wants to do, and can help his mother to take on family responsibilities together.
But as time passed, the father seemed to forget what he had said to his mother, and more and more blamed his mother for spending too much time and energy on his career.
With this, Zhang Yimou, as the son of the two, has also received endless complaints and complaints; There are even more subtle ones – unequal treatment from parents, discrimination from the outside world, and so on.
Although his parents did not treat him equally, even partially; However, at that time, the only people who could be recognized, encouraged, and even praised by their fathers were people with outstanding merits such as excellent learning and strong self-motivation - that is, school teachers, etc.
At that time, being praised in the eyes of the school teachers and becoming a class pacesetter and other honorary titles were the goals that every student aspired to achieve; And who student could have done it at that time?
As a result, excellent grades, being loved by teachers and receiving various praises from teachers became one of the most important goals of Zhang Yimou's study career at that time; And the teacher gave him these things is one of the easiest and most direct ways.
As long as Zhang Yimou studies hard and gets good grades; The teacher will like him and give him more care, encouragement and praise.
As a result, the school teacher became the one who gave him warmth and encouragement, made him feel affirmed and recognized, and made up for the lack of existence; At the same time, it has become a very important person.
And in front of such an important person, in order to be able to continue to get attention, continue to be encouraged, and continue to be praised...... How could Zhang Yimou not work hard?
As long as he tries hard enough; Those teachers will like him more and more, and give more ......
It wasn't until later that I realized that the teacher was actually just taking advantage of his nature; No matter what you use, you will get tired of it after a long time.
The same goes for teachers; After using it for a long time, I no longer like it or don't care about it anymore.
Therefore, as the value of use becomes lower and lower; No matter how hard you try, no matter how good you are.
These things are no longer important, then no matter how hard you try, it doesn't matter. And these things used to be too important......
And then things changed dramatically.
Because all of a sudden, things that were originally denied and hated become important; And what was once important has become irrelevant.
And these sudden changes often have too much psychological impact on us.
It is often felt that the effort put in is too stupid and meaningless.
And how can we possibly accept ourselves doing stupid things?
At this time, we will choose to believe in what is in front of us, choose to give up, or choose to change.
Of course, everyone's choice will be different.
Zhang Yimou chose to change.
So no matter what I did from childhood to adulthood, I was extremely conscientious and responsible, and never gave up or denied it.
Even if you put your heart and soul into it, you end up finding that it is not the result you want; When faced with this situation, many people will choose to give up; But Zhang Yimou chose to change his strategy.
If the road ahead is blocked, go the other way; If you go the other way, you end up finding that it is not what you want......
In this way, always try to find a path that suits you.
until they finally achieve their goals; Of course, there is still a lot of hard work and frustration along the way......
The third paragraph: emotional entanglement
In 2013, Zhang Yimou was revealed to be secretly married and had children, and finally publicly admitted it after experiencing a turmoil and accepted a fine; So what exactly caused the turmoil? How did things develop?
Back in 1986; Zhang Yimou gave birth to a daughter with a woman named Wang Ying (pseudonym); Later, due to Wang Ying's personality problems, after the two broke up, their daughter was raised by Wang Ying (the specific reason is unknown); But there is always a concern (or even a bond) for her daughter; It's just that for various reasons, I can't face it or even solve it.
Until around 2012; After remembering the entanglement between mother and daughter for many years, the daughter proposed to meet and chat with other fathers (the exact time and place are unknown); As a father of his daughter, and he misses his daughter very much, and at the same time cares about his daughter (even if they have been separated for so long), he agreed to his daughter's request (the specific time and place are unknown)......
During the meeting and chat, the two talked a lot about the past (the specific content is unknown); During this period, the daughter asked her mother (Wang Ying) what kind of person she was; Zhang Yimou said that Wang Ying was very innocent, kind, beautiful and generous at that time, and very good (the specific time and place are unknown......
Although the relationship between the two is very delicate, the relationship was established after the daughter met and chatted (the specific time and place are unknown); After the meeting and chat, the daughter asked her mother to go to the uncle (the exact time and place are unknown......
As a mother, Wang Ying always wants to give her daughter a complete and happy family (even if there are twists and turns in the middle), and knows that her daughter's relationship with her is tense (or even disgusting), and expresses support for her daughter's request (the specific time and place are unknown)......
The specific time and place are unknown, but when the daughter resumed contact with the man (possibly by phone, text, social platform, etc.) and said that she wanted to go to the uncle, the man agreed to the daughter's request......
However, because her daughter was still a minor (under 18 years old) at the time, she needed Wang Ying's consent to see the uncle.
As a mother, Wang Ying is very supportive of her daughter doing whatever she thinks is right (the exact time and place are unknown), so Wang Ying agrees with her daughter to meet the "uncle......
Although as a mother, Wang Ying is very worried that her daughter will suffer losses, encounter dangers, and even have any accidents; But as a mother, Wang Ying knew that she couldn't stop her daughter from doing what she thought was right (the exact time and place were unknown), so she still supported her daughter to meet the "uncle......
At the same time, Wang Ying also said that if there are any problems, she will solve them as soon as possible......
The specific time and place are unknown, but it is reported that she was a woman at the time
