In 1986, Zhang Yimou spent 800 yuan to buy the film rights of "Red Sorghum", which was originally scheduled to be played by Shi Ke of "Fat Buttocks", Gong Li also wanted to fight, Zhang Yimou let her come to the hotel to audition.
This time, Zhang Yimou was moved, and he asked Gu Changwei: Do you think which of them has an advantage? Gu Changwei honestly replied: Of course, Gong Li has more flavor.
Among the fifth generation of Directors in China, the only one who enjoys the honorific title of "National Master" is Zhang Yimou.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > zhang Yimou, a well-known director at home and abroad, was just a videographer at the beginning. </h1>
Zhang Yimou is a famous director at home and abroad.
Zhang Yimou's career is also very legendary. No matter which line he does, he is lucky enough to explode, and it also shows that Zhang Yimou is very talented and has extraordinary ability.
After graduating in 1982, he was assigned to Guangxi Film Studio.
In 1984, he first worked as a cinematographer in the film "One and Eight" and won the Outstanding Cinematographer Award of Chinese Film.
In 1986, he starred in the first movie "Old Well" and won three movie emperors.
In 1987, his first film , Red Sorghum , won the Golden Bear Award at China's first international film festival.
From the photographer to the actor, he finally stuck to the line of directing and created his own miracle career.
Here we have to mention "Red Sorghum", which is not only the first film of Zhang Yimou's directorial career, but also allows Zhang Yimou to meet Gong Li, a confidant of hongyan, and opened an 8-year cohabitation career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > the "Red Sorghum" corner change storm. </h1>
In 1987, Zhang Yimou, who aspired to be a director, found Mo Yan and wanted to buy Mo Yan's novel "Red Sorghum" for 800 yuan.
Mo Yan listened and was very happy, because 800 yuan was his salary for nearly a year.
Zhang Yimou also invited Mo Yan to serve as a screenwriter.
Zhang Yimou also invited his royal photographer Gu Changwei.
Zhang Yimou asked Jiang Wen to be the male protagonist "My Grandfather".
The choice of the heroine "My Grandmother" has never been decided.
Zhang Yimou went to the Central Academy of Drama and began to audition for the audition. Among them, there is an actor Shi Ke who is strongly recommended by the school, and Zhang Yimou is very satisfied with Shi Ke's image.
Shi Ke's thick lips, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and plump figure are particularly close to the image of "Jiu'er" in the book, "fat buttocks".
The only thing that makes Zhang Yimou hesitate is that Shi Ke is not only a sophomore, but most importantly, she has no acting experience.
Zhang Yimou was also very cautious about being a director for the first time. So while informing Shi Ke to make preparations, he was still looking for a more suitable actor.
Coincidentally, the book did not happen, because Gong Li, a sophomore who went out to shoot an advertisement and missed the audition, took the initiative to call and ask for an audition.
So after Zhang Yimou asked her to come to the hotel to audition, she felt that Gong Li was also suitable for the image of "Jiu'er".
Gong Li and Shi Ke are classmates, and the two of them are also one of the five golden flowers in the chinese opera.
Gong Li's "Nine Children" appearance is more iconic.
Zhang Yimou oscillated between Shi Ke and Gong Li. He invited the experienced Gu Changwei to decide together, and Gu Changwei pondered for a long time and said, "Gong Li, she has more flavor, and belongs to the kind that God appreciates rice to eat!" ”
Gong Li had the opportunity to play "Jiu'er", and Shi Ke missed the role of "Jiu'er".
However, Shi Ke was an excellent student of the school at that time, and because of his Westernized appearance, he was very foreign, and he shot a lot of advertisements at that time, and he also had the opportunity to play the heroine.
Soon she took over a movie "Killer Blue" with an investment of 4 million yuan.
The investment in "Red Sorghum" is only 800,000.
So at that time, Shi Ke did not feel particularly sorry.
Gong Li, on the other hand, regarded this as a treasure.
As a result, both Zhang Yimou and Gong Li changed their fate because of "Red Sorghum".
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > Zhang Yimou and Gong Li had an affair because of the drama, and Zhang Yimou divorced his wife Xiao Hua for Gong Li. </h1>
At that time, Zhang Yimou was 36 years old, and Gong Li was only 21 years old.
Gong Li was gradually attracted to the mature and talented Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou couldn't help but feel fond of Gong Li, who was like a flower and enthusiastic.
Although Zhang Yimou's wife Xiao Hua gave all to Zhang Yimou at that time.
Xiao Hua and Zhang Yimou can be described as green plum bamboo horses, and the two have known each other since junior high school.
Xiao Hua is beautiful and gentle, and his academic performance is back at the top of the list.
Zhang Yimou wrote a 40-page love letter to Xiao Hua, and finally knocked on Xiao Hua's heart.
Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua went to the countryside to join the team, and Xiao Hua took good care of Zhang Yimou. Laundry and cooking are not necessary.
In order to give Zhang Yimou a camera, she saved money for more than a month.
In order to realize Zhang Yimou's dream of The Northern Shadow, she personally showed Zhang Yimou's photography to her relatives and was admitted to the Northern Shadow.
In a sense, Xiao Hua was kind to Zhang Yimou.
Because Zhang Yimou has said that there are two things in this life that have a profound impact on him, one is to go to the Beijing Film Academy, and the other is "Red Sorghum".
Moreover, Xiao Gave birth to Zhang Yimou's next daughter, Zhang Mo, who lived happily and sweetly before the age of 7, and Zhang Yimou loved Zhang Mo very much.
However, no matter how much Xiao Hua did to him, Gong Li had become his treasure at this time. He was going to divorce Xiao Hua.
When Xiao Hua discovered Gong Li's love letter to Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yimou asked Xiao Hua with a straight face, did he expose the letter?
When Xiao Hua heard Gong Li's boyfriend at the time say that Zhang Yimou thought that their marriage was a misunderstanding, Xiao Hua was completely discouraged and divorced Zhang Yimou.
Although Zhang Yimou's parents did not agree, even her mother said: "I only recognize Xiao Hua as a daughter-in-law in this life!" ”
Although Zhang Mo, a 7-year-old at the time of the divorce, held his leg and cried that his father would not leave, he resolutely left.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > Gong Li took out 8 years of youth, can not be exchanged for Zhang Yimou a marriage contract, Gong Li sadly left. </h1>
After Zhang Yimou divorced, Gong Li began to demand that the name be justified, and Gong Li believed that the two must have marriage as a cornerstone in order to be together for a longer time.
Zhang Yimou no longer mentioned the marriage, and after the sweet period with Gong Li, he felt more and more sorry for Zhang Mo's mother and son, especially the last crying scene of his daughter has been torturing him.
A few years later, Zhang Yimou took Zhang Mo to his side to reduce the guilt in his heart.
However, Zhang Mo and Gong Li were fierce swords and did not give in to each other.
Zhang Mo blamed the reason for his parents' divorce on Gong Li's intervention.
Gong Li saw that she was getting older, Zhang Yimou would not give her marriage, and after working with Zhang Yimou in the last movie "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge", Gong Li broke up sadly.
This 8-year love affair finally ended in a breakup.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" > Zhang Yimou married Chen Ting, who was 31 years younger, and Gong Li married her 17-year-old foreign husband. </h1>
After the breakup, Gong Li married Huang Hexiang, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, on February 15, 1996, and her friends Mei Yanfang and Lin Qingxia in the circle were present to congratulate and send gifts.
In 2009, Gong Li's marriage with Huang Hexiang broke down.
Ten years later, in 2019, at the age of 54, Gong Li married 71-year-old French electronic music master Jean-Michel Jarre.
It is said that the two saw each other as they were, and her husband loved Gong Li and regarded her as the most important person in his life. Gong Li also had a home and found happiness.
4 years after Zhang Yimou and Gong Li broke up, they met Chen Ting, who was 31 years younger than himself, because of the "Happy Time" audition for "Happy Girl".
Chen Ting, a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy, then dropped out of school to give birth to three children, two sons and a daughter, to Zhang Yimou within five years. Zhang Yimou was fined 7.48 million yuan in 2003 for being overspring.
Unlike Gong Li, Chen Ting followed Zhang Yimou for more than ten years, and has been nameless and unknown.
And Chen Ting did not force Zhang Yimou. On the contrary, she regarded herself as a fanatical fan of Zhang Yimou, always making Zhang Yimou feel pampered by fans.
Zhang Yimou also specially thanked Chen Ting for letting them succeed the old Zhang family, and rewarded Chen Ting with 10 million yuan and two villas.
In 2011, because the eldest son, Zhang Yinan, wanted to receive a better education, Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting got a low-key license to marry and enrolled the child in the household registration.
Now 40-year-old Chen Ting has accompanied the 71-year-old Zhang Yimou for 22 years, and Chen Ting has become the happiest.
It's just that Gong Li can't get Zhang Yimou's marriage, Chen Ting used 10 years of warm companionship, and finally waited until the spring blossomed.
It can also be seen that Zhang Yimou still recognizes Chen Ting.
Do you think that if Zhang Yimou and Gong Li marry, they will be happy? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
