Gong Li was born on December 31, 1965 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, to a family of cadres.
Although Gong Li was born in Shenyang, her ancestral home is Jinan City, Shandong Province, and when she was less than one year old, her parents' work was transferred to Jinan, and Gong Li naturally followed her parents back to Jinan.
When she was a child, Gong Li could sing and dance, dreaming that she could become a singer when she grew up, and Gong Li's parents were also very supportive of Gong Li's dream.
Therefore, when Gong Li was studying at Sanhe Street Primary School in Jinan, she was recommended by the school to sing children's songs at Jinan People's Radio.
At Jinan No. 2 Middle School, Gong Li was a member of the school's literary and art team at that time, and was often active on the dance hall singing stage of the students in Quancheng.
And when Gong Li was 14 years old, there was a chance for Gong Li to do a group performance in a crew, and the photographer of the crew thought that gong Li at a young age had a strong sense of lens and gave her a few words of encouragement, which made Gong Li particularly happy.
And it was also this time that the experience of being a group actor made Gong Li start to have an interest in acting, and she also turned her dream of becoming a singer into wanting to become an actor.
But the road to becoming an actor is still relatively difficult, first of all, Gong Li has not been able to enter her favorite acting university after two college entrance examinations.
Moreover, at this time, Gong Li's parents thought that Gong Li was too attached to this performance and no longer continued to support her artistic pursuits, so Gong Li could only continue to prepare for the cultural class exam while working.
In 1984, Gong Li became a temporary worker in a unit under the Shandong Publishing House, and under the introduction of a friend, she met Yin Dawei, who she became an enlightenment teacher.
Yin Dawei was born in an acting family, in 1984 he was 24 years old, just graduated from the People's Liberation Army Art Academy, introduced by a friend to gong Li, and also promised to give Gong Li art tutoring.
Yin Dawei was born in an acting family, it can be said that since he was a child, he has been ear-to-ear for many things, but Gong Li has not paid so much attention to it, and when the two began to take the first class, Gong Li stood in front of Yin Dawei with a big grin.
It may be that Gong Li's posture has really seen the eyes, and it may also be that Yin Dawei wants to establish his own strict requirements, and she smoked Gong Li's whip in the first class.
And also admonished Gong Li: "An actor must stand and sit, otherwise he will become an actor."
Gong Li couldn't help it on the spot, but in the end there was no seizure, just coldly looked at Yin Dawei and turned away.

Yin Dawei thought that the first class between the two was not pleasant, and there might be no next thing, but who knew that the next day Gong Li appeared in front of Yin Dawei on time and on time.
In fact, Gong Li also seriously thought about going back, she has lost the college entrance examination twice, and she cannot continue to prepare for the college entrance examination, especially her parents at home have no longer supported her.
And the most important thing is that Gong Li feels that although Yin Dawei beat herself, she is really good for herself, so there is no need for her to waste such a good opportunity because of her so-called self-esteem.
In 1985, the 20-year-old Gong Li took the college entrance examination for the third time, this time her professional class passed, but the results of the cultural class were still not enough.
The teachers of the admissions team of the Central Academy of Drama were sorry for this, but they did not easily cross Gong Li's name, and the admissions team solemnly wrote a report and submitted it to the higher authority, the Department of Art Education of the Ministry of Culture, requesting special approval for the admission of Gong Li.
The approval of the Department of Art Education of the Ministry of Culture was quickly issued, approving the requirements of the Central Academy of Drama, so Gong Li was able to officially enter the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama.
Among them, Gong Lidi's teacher Yin Dawei played a great role, and it was also said above that Yin Dawei was born in an acting family and has a lot of resources in the acting industry.
In addition, Gong Li did leave a deep impression on the teachers of the admissions group of the Central Academy of Drama at that time, although Gong Lidi's appearance was not amazing, but she always had a special temperament.
Therefore, soon after entering the Chinese opera, Gong Li and Shi Ke and five other students were rated as the "Five Golden Flowers of Chinese Opera".
After entering the Chinese opera, Gong Li, who has just opened her love, is facing various temptations, after all, almost all the people who can enter the Chinese drama are handsome men and beautiful women.
Yin Dawei, the teacher who had a secret affair with her before, was quickly forgotten by her, and she also went in and out of the campus of The Chinese Opera with a classmate named Yang Jianxun, and the school's woods, lawns, classrooms, etc. have left a loving figure of the two.
Three
Gong Li and her boyfriend are in love, but also did not forget her dream of being an actor, so she often goes to some crews to "play soy sauce", as long as there is a role whether it is a supporting role or a dragon set, she is willing to play.
When Gong Li entered the study of Chinese opera, a photographer from Shaanxi began to gradually become famous in China.
He is Zhang Yimou, in 1985 Zhang Yimou won many awards at home and abroad with the film "Yellow Land" with Chen Kaige, and also successfully ranked among the domestic first-line photographers, when Zhang Yimou was 35 years old.
In 1986, Zhang Yimou crossed the border for the first time as an actor, and still starred in Wu Tianming's "Old Well" as the male number one.
In this film, Zhang Yimou's performance is remarkable, allowing him to win a number of film emperor titles, which makes Zhang Yimou, who has reached middle age, very excited.
He also wanted to challenge a director across borders, and he had long targeted the Shandong writer Mo Yan's work "Red Sorghum", and he personally went to Shandong to find Mo Yan and said his plan.
Mo Yan and Zhang Yimou saw each other as they were, and both of them had a very thick local atmosphere, so Mo Yan did not think much about it and directly sold the copyright to Zhang Yimou for hundreds of pieces of cabbage.
The two also worshiped as brothers with different surnames in Mo Yan's home, and it can be said that many of Zhang Yimou's behaviors are very appetizing to Mo Yan, and he who has been writing for many years is also very interested in making movies.
In this way, at the invitation of Zhang Yimou, Mo Yan and Zhang Yimou prepared the movie "Red Sorghum" together, until the two encountered difficulties when choosing who to be the heroine.
They almost ran through several major art schools, but did not meet the right one in their hearts, and finally chose Shi Ke for the Chinese opera, because Shi Ke conformed to the description of the heroine "Jiu'er" in Mo Yan's book - "fat buttocks".
But just when they decided to leave the Chinese opera, a teacher of the Chinese opera suggested that they could see Gong Li, but Mo Yan practiced waving his hands as soon as he saw Gong Li, because Gong Li did not conform to the "fat buttocks" at all.
However, Zhang Yimou took a fancy to Gong Li at a glance, so he let Gong Li and Shi Ke audition together, and finally decided that Gong Li would play the heroine of the movie "Red Sorghum", "Jiu'er", and the male lead was played by the film emperor Jiang Wen.

Gong Li, who had not yet graduated, was selected by Zhang Yimou as the heroine, but at that time, Gong Li's boyfriend Yang Jianxun did not want his girlfriend to shoot such a movie.
Therefore, Yang Jianxun had a big fight with Gong Li in the crew, and after his temper came up, Yang Jianxun actually hit Gong Li, which made Zhang Yimou, as a director, very angry.
So he came forward to drive away Yang Jianxun, and comforted Gong Li, letting her quickly enter the role, so the two came and went closer, and even did several indescribable things in the middle of the night.
But at this time, Zhang Yimou was already married, and he and his original wife Xiao Hua also had a daughter, so after the film was filmed, the two were busy with each other, only as a dew love affair.
The film "Red Gaolian" made Zhang Yimou and Gong Li famous in the film industry, Zhang Yimou became one of the top young directors at that time, and Gong Li gained a lot of fame.
However, after returning to the Chinese opera campus, Gong Li was once again pestered by her ex-boyfriend Yang Jianxun, and Gong Li had no choice but to write to Zhang Yimou for help.
The most important thing is that Gong Li also wrote in this letter that she and Zhang Yimou once spent the moon before the flower, and her kind of feelings for Zhang Yimou.
But who knew that this letter was actually discovered by Zhang Yimou's wife Xiao Hua, so Zhang Yimou confessed his relationship with Gong Li to Xiao Hua, and also proposed a divorce to Xiao Hua.
But Xiao Hua married Zhang Yimou when she was a small worker, and now that he has slowly become famous, he is naturally reluctant to divorce her.
Zhang Yimou was helpless, he could only find a relationship to help Gong Li solve Yang Jianxun's entanglement, but who knew that at this time, the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li was exposed by the media.
In the face of this situation, Zhang Yimou did not know how to explain, just at this time, the Hong Kong director invited Zhang Yimou to star in the movie "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Figurines", Zhang Yimou took Gong Li to Hong Kong to shoot a drama, which can also be regarded as a shelter from the wind.
During the filming of this film, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou were almost inseparable, staying together day and night, and the feelings of the two heated up quickly, which also made Zhang Yimou firm in his heart to divorce.
Therefore, just after the film was made, Zhang Yimou rushed directly back to his hometown of Xi'an, showed off with Xiao Hua, and told her that if he did not divorce, he would not return to this home even if he wandered the world.
Xiao Hua knew Zhang Yimou, saw that he was so resolute, and agreed to get married without saying a word, and also hoped that Zhang Yimou would be able to be better to his daughter in the future.
Five
After the divorce, there was no longer any obstacle between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, and the two directly lived together (in fact, the two were no different from cohabitation before).
At this time, Zhang Yimou was nearly 40 years old, Gong Li was already 25 years old, Gong Li wanted to marry Zhang Yimou after he divorced, but Zhang Yimou also wanted to work hard for his career first.
Therefore, in the next few years, the two collaborated on films such as "Ju Dou" and "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", zhang Yimou became one of the best directors in the Chinese mainland, and Gong Li also became the first actress in the mainland.
It is reasonable to say that the combination of the two is a strong union, but Zhang Yimou is reluctant to get married, and gong Li, who is famous at this time, also took over films such as "Farewell to the Overlord" and "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", and his fame once again soared.
And he also met Huang Hexiang, an executive of British American Tobacco, through the Hong Kong female writer Leung Fung Yee, and in the face of Zhang Yimou, who was reluctant to get married, The 30-year-old Gong Li was really unwilling to continue to wait.
So in 1995, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou had a showdown on the set of the movie "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", but Zhang Yimou was still unmoved, and said: "Marriage is just a form, don't we live together without getting married?" ”
So Gong Li painfully chose to end her 8-year relationship with Zhang Yimou, and soon after breaking up, she and Huang Hexiang held a wedding in Singapore.
Moreover, he and Zhang Yimou have not cooperated for many years, Zhang Yimou lost Gong Li, the first generation of "Mou Girl", and began to look for a second Mou Girl.
Gong Li met Sun Honglei, a "little fresh meat", in the 1998 film "Jing Ke Thorn Qin King" directed by Chen Kaige.
It's just that the first acquaintance of the two does not have too many stories, after all, Sun Honglei at this time has just leaned on the "big sister" Ding Jiali.
Six
Gong Li and Huang Hexiang's marriage has always been looked down upon by everyone, and by 2002, the two were almost on the verge of divorce, when Gong Li and Sun Honglei cooperated again in the movie "Zhou Yu's Train".
The two "fake drama really do", the feelings extend from the play to the outside of the play, and they are frequently exposed to scandals and secret meetings, just when everyone is talking about this matter.
Gong Li also had a scandal with Zhang Zhen for filming Wong Kar-wai's film "Eros", and in the following years, Gong Li successively collaborated with foreign actor Colin. Farrell and photographer Chang spread the news.
Until 2009, the 44-year-old Gong Li was finally married to 59-year-old Huang Hexiang for 13 years.
After the divorce, Gong Li soon had a new love- Hollywood actor John . Cusack, the two once reached the point of talking about marriage.
It was also at the same time that Gong Li's ex-boyfriend Zhang Yimou finally got married, and he married Chen Ting, an actor who was 31 years younger than himself, and the two also had three children.
And in 2013, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li also cooperated in the film "Return", which naturally sent out some news of the resurgence of the old love between the two.
However, neither of them responded to this, not to mention this matter, in 2018, Gong Li served as a judge at the Golden Horse Awards, and did not shy away from choosing Zhang Yimou as the best director.
Moreover, when Zhang Yimou came on stage to receive the award, Gong Li sat down on the stage with tears in his eyes, perhaps they did not cultivate the right results in the end, but they will not forget the feelings and the appearance of youth in their lives.
In 2019, Gong Li again spread the news of marriage, and the object was the 71-year-old French musician Jean. Michelle. Yar,
After getting married, Gong Li also filmed Chen Kexin's movie "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team", in which she played Lang Ping, the meritorious coach of the women's volleyball team, once again letting everyone see the acting skills of "Gong Huang".
Today's Gong Li is 56 years old, about to enter the year of huajia, but she does not look old at all, and is still the "international film queen" with unlimited scenery.
I also hope that Gong Li can continue to maintain this calmness and calmness, adhere to her original intention, and make greater contributions to Chinese films!
