29-year-old Zhou Dongyu, except for three gold medal actresses, her story is far more wonderful than you think.

The "three golds" behind the "three golds" in the movie represent three different awards: Golden Horse Award, Golden Elephant Award and Golden Rooster Award.

China film and television industry now has three "three gold" winners, namely Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Dongyu.

The first two winners won the "three golds" at the age of 35 and 34 respectively. The International Edition won the Golden Rooster Award and the Golden Horse Award through The Grand Master, which lasted for nine years. But Zhou Dongyu won these honors at the age of 28, which is much easier to compare.

Someone said: "Zhou Dongyu's' Three Gold' Grand Slam reflects the decline of the entire China film market."

Others said: "Zhou Dongyu, the winner of the' three gold medals', is somewhat praised."

How did she step by step from a high school student in an unknown art college to today and become the youngest winner of the "three golds"? The story behind this is far more wonderful than you think.

One,

1992, Zhou Dongyu was born in an ordinary working-class family in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

Because the day she was born was winter and it was still raining, her parents gave her a suitable name, Winter Rain.

When I was in primary school in Zhou Dongyu, my biological father died in a car accident.

Later, my mother remarried Zhou Dongyu, and my stepfather was an honest worker.

Perhaps because of the family reorganization, Zhou Dongyu is always wrapped in a unique melancholy temperament.

Because of her slim figure and good flexibility, Zhou Dongyu practiced rhythmic gymnastics since childhood and was admitted to Shijiazhuang Gymnastics Team at the age of 12. Although her family is not rich, her parents try their best to provide her with opportunities to study.

In the third year, my mother and stepfather gave birth to another daughter.

The family leads a very ordinary life. At that time, Zhou Dongyu was either rich or expensive and had no background.

Later, Zhou Dongyu gave up gymnastics, and in high school, she became a special dancer.

Perhaps because of practicing gymnastics since childhood, Zhou Dongyu at a young age has great perseverance and tenacity, and her classmates also say that she usually practices dancing very hard.

However, before Zhang Yimou became her Bole, she was an ordinary student and stood out from the crowd.

She never thought that fate would care for her so much.

Perhaps as the saying goes, "When God closes a door for you, he will also open a window for you."

Being an actor is completely out of Zhou Dongyu's mind. She thinks it's enough to go to college, find a stable job and live without wind and waves.

The high school dance teacher once said to her, "Look, you are admitted to a good university now, and you can be a teacher in the future, just like me."

Zhou Dongyu jokingly replied, "Who will believe that I am a teacher if I look like this?"

Who would have thought that a few years later, the simplicity and cleanliness in the eyes of a little girl who once seemed to have grown up would impress "Buddhist" Zhang Yimou and embark on a completely different life path?

Second,

In 2008, American Chinese writer Amy's novel Love of Hawthorn Tree became a best seller, and the love between Jingqiu and the third child was even praised as "the purest love in history".

It turns out that The Hawthorn Tree Love was not published, but a novel adapted from a true story serialized by Amy on the overseas Chinese literary website. Because domestic websites can't access foreign websites, it first became popular in North America for a while.

Coincidentally, Zhang Jizhong's wife, Fan Xinman, saw this story when she was abroad, and even shed tears for many times.

This online serial novel has become a physical publication because of the small talk at the dinner table.

One day, Ms. Fan Xinman met Ms. Li Ming, president of Acer Ye Wei Company, at a dinner party. Unexpectedly, both of them were moved by this story, and the chatterboxes suddenly opened and they had a heated discussion.

* * * and Mr. Zhang Xiaobo, the boss of Linked Books Co., Ltd. happened to attend the party, and he overheard the conversation between two women.

He went back and found that it was really a touching story.

It's just that the story happened in the 1970s, and there may be a sense of distance from readers. Besides, the author is a nobody, and publishing this story will take great risks.

After discussion at the top of the company, editor-in-chief Yang Li decided to take a chance.

* * * and Linked Books Company tested the water first, printed 500 trial books and presented them to celebrities in the cultural, film and art circles for comments.

Among them, there are well-known directors such as Jiang Wen, Zhang Jizhong, senior hosts such as Tao and Zhao Zhongxiang, literary celebrities such as Wang Meng and Su Tong, and cultural and business celebrities.

These celebrities can be said to be "a hundred schools of thought contend", some say good and some criticize.

Their opposing views set off an argument on the Internet, and netizens discussed the "hawthorn tree phenomenon" one after another, and the "hawthorn tree love" suddenly caught fire.

Zhang Jizhong, Xiaogang Feng, Li Yang, Bird and Yin Lichuan are all going to make this novel into a movie.

Zhang Jizhong once said, "Rarely have I seen such touching works. The plot of the whole love story comes from life and is released from it. Simple and beautiful. It can be said that this work inspired me as a filmmaker. "

At that time, Sun Li, a popular actress with many masterpieces, even recommended herself to play the role of Jing Qiu. She said, "I almost finished reading this novel in tears. Although I am not from any era, I envy their love-that kind of truth and purity touched me. "

However, the film adaptation right of Love of Hawthorn Tree changed hands several times, and finally it fell into Zhang Yimou's hands.

In fact, the old man knew from the beginning that this film must be a blockbuster. After successfully transforming into a commercial film, why did you start shooting literary films without money?

In an interview, he said this: "I often read all kinds of scripts, and the scripts generally recommended are actually very meticulous and difficult to look at." At the end of the script, I have a feeling that this is a good emotional story and a story of first love. "

Before dating Gong Li, Zhang Yimou had a wife named Xiao Hua, who was his first love.

The friendship and love between them began in the school days of 1965.

When Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua fell in love, his family composition was bad, and his father was an officer of the Kuomintang Whampoa Military Academy, which was intolerable under the conditions at that time. This has always been a huge shadow in his heart.

And Jingqiu in the book is also born in a bad family and introverted, which makes Zhang Yimou see the shadow of his youth in her.

Xiaohua went to the countryside with Zhang Yimou in order to be with him. In the countryside, they spent a wonderful youth together.

1972, the university began to recruit students of workers, peasants and soldiers. Xiaohua wanted to go to school very much. After several exams, she failed because she had no access.

Zhang Yimou knew her wish to be admitted, but she was afraid that she would go to college and find a better person to leave her, so she felt very painful.

In order to reassure Zhang Yimou, she gave up the idea of taking the exam.

1975 workshop was assigned to Shanghai jiaotong university to study casting technology, and the leader gave her the quota, but she refused.

1977, on the eve of the college entrance examination, the entrance of the factory was covered with enrollment brochures. Xiao Hua was full of longing, but he ended up with nothing because of his commitment to Zhang Yimou.

From 65438 to 0978, Zhang Yimou, who was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and had a solid photographic background, was eager to try.

But by this time, Zhang Yimou was 28 years old, 6 years older than the highest age of 22 in the photography department.

However, in big cities, Zhang Yimou, who was an eye-opener, gradually changed his mind.

1one day in June, 987, Xiaohua was washing clothes for Zhang Yimou, but he found a note in his pocket. He opened it and read, "You left and took my heart ... You were so cute in my arms when we were together! In a few days, we can be together again. We have endless words together, endless things ... "

1988, Xiao Hua divorced Zhang Yimou, and her daughter Zhang Cai was 7 years old at the end of the year.

Perhaps, a large part of the reason for filming "Hawthorn Tree Love" is to wash away the bad reputation brought by commercial films. However, when making this decision, did he hide the redemption of his betrayed self?

The first difficulty in filming is casting. Shawn Dou has participated in 10 auditions, but he is worried that he will not get the bus fare. Finally, he was chosen as the male host because of his tall and sunny appearance.

However, the heroine Jingqiu's candidate has not yet been decided.

At that time, the deputy director asked Zhang Yimou, "Are you looking for Zhang Ziyi or Sun Li?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "No, I just want to find a clean face, not only beautiful, but also green.

There is never a shortage of actresses in film and television circles, but if you want to find a person who is clean and pure to the bone, you may not be able to pick one.

To this end, the crew searched for actors all over the country. Zhang Yimou has seen five or six thousand actresses, but I'm afraid more of them were directly eliminated by the deputy director, which shows the heavy workload.

Finally, the assistant director was really tired, so he turned on the camera and let the girls who auditioned perform for a minute or two. Class after class of students walked past the camera, recorded a long tape and gave it to Zhang Yimou.

Zhou Dongyu didn't take a fancy to it at first sight, but was brushed off by Zhang Yimou in the first round.

"Choosing' Jingqiu', I watched more than 6,000 candidates, from videos to on-site interviews. After watching Zhou Dongyu's video, I brushed her off, thinking that she couldn't do it. Later, the assistant director reminded me that she was in a bad state at first and suggested that I watch it again. I thought she was' Jingqiu' when I saw the real talent and learning. "

In fact, Zhang Yimou's casting was conducted in secret at that time, only to let the crew announce that they would choose several actresses, without specifying that Zhang Yimou was the last person to make the final decision, so as not to cause a sensation and affect their work.

Many girls who go to audition are worried that they have been cheated. Zhou Dongyu stood in front of Zhang Yimou, wondering if he had found a stuntman to cheat them. I can't believe I saw Zhang Yimou.

On the set, Zhou Dongyu is a blank sheet of paper without any acting experience, with Zhang Yimou's training, but fortunately, she has a strong understanding and is a very aura girl.

Zhang Yimou once said of her: "If I have any request, she will soon be able to do it. It's not easy. She is really aura. If someone says that she can't act, I will be the first to disagree, either maliciously or biased. "

The new film company even signed her as the first artist of the company.

Someone asked why Zhang Yimou had a "soft spot" for Zhou Dongyu, and he said:

"The new picture really has no experience as an actor's agent, but for the better development of the two newcomers, I told Zhang Weiping to sign her and Shawn Dou. I also encourage Dong Yu to take the North Film Examination next year. We won't do more, but we will help her when she needs it. "

"Hawthorn Tree Love" has given the audience a fine and meaningful medicine in the era of commercial films flooding.

In order to make a film, she gave up the college entrance examination on 20 10 and revealed to the media that she was interested in applying for the dance and performance major.

The next year, after the college entrance examination, she was exposed with a total score of 154: Chinese 66, English 26, Mathematics 13, and Literature 49.

Soon, the agent came forward to clarify: "It is not convenient to make a phone call online in Paris these days. I didn't expect the soundtrack of Winter Rain to be handed down like this. Everyone is relieved, not the horrible score of 154, but 286. Although there is a gap with the score expected by Winter Rain, there is still hope according to last year's score! I'm sorry to give you a reply so late, which worried everyone. We are waiting in fear ... "

At that time, the admission score of the professional cultural course of North Film Performance was 265, and the Academy of Performing Arts planned to recruit 30 people. Zhou Dongyu, who has become a "woman seeker", was successfully admitted. Although her performance in culture class is not high, she is very talented in acting, and her performance in professional courses ranks high.

Successfully became classmates with Gulnazar, the "most beautiful art examinee", and Yang Caiyu, known as "Little Liu Yifei", and was recognized as one of the "four beauties" by the performance undergraduate class of Nortel1/kloc-0.

Third,

20 12, something happened to Zhang Yimou.

After working together for 16 years, Zhang Weiping, the boss of Xintu Company, broke up with him completely.

From 1996 investing in Zhang Yimou's "Speak Out" to 20 1 1' s "flowers of war", Zhang Weiping partnered with Zhang Yimou and earned a lot of money.

During the period of 16, Zhang Yimou gradually became a famous movie master, but the artistic level and creativity of its films were also declining.

The two have achieved each other, but they are definitely not on the same road.

Zhang Yimou pursues the artistry of movies, while Zhang Weiping only cares about the box office.

In 2006, Zhang Yimou invited two senior actors, Gong Li and Chow Yun Fat, to star in The Golden Flower in the City, but Zhang Weiping thought that they were a little outdated. In order to pursue the flow, he forced Jay Chou to join the cast.

Jay Chou, a musician, lacks performance experience. Although I have my own flow, my acting skills are embarrassing and hard to compliment.

In 2009, when filming Three Guns Surprise, Zhang Weiping insisted on starring Zhao Jiaban. The reason is naturally that "not bad money" makes Xiao Shenyang and others out of the limelight. As a result, Zhang Yimou was badly scolded after the film was released.

Then "flowers of war" completely became the fuse of their parting ways.

There was no sex scene between Bell and Nini in flowers of war, but Zhang Weiping insisted on filming it and vigorously promoted it.

20 12, flowers of war is preparing for the Golden Globe Award. Zhang Weiping took David and Han Xiting to America, but Zhang Yimou didn't show up on the grounds that his mother was ill. The rumor that "two tickets" were false began to spread widely. It is said that Zhang Weiping recommended Han Xiting as the hostess, and Zhang Yimou insisted on using the newcomer Nini.

Later, "flowers of war" appeared in Berlin Film Festival and publicity activities in Taiwan Province Province. Zhang Yimou took the lead, and Zhang Weiping never showed up.

Soon, negative news about Zhang Yimou broke out one after another.

Young actor Weibo wrote that director Zhang Yimou secretly remarried a woman named Chen Ting in Wuxi and had three children.

Zhang Weiping didn't directly deny it, and didn't respond with incomprehension. He just had an ambiguous attitude, indicating that it was not convenient to respond to this matter.

"I'm not convenient to talk about it. You go to Yimou, he will say it himself. "

Since then, "Zhang Yimou has established a father-daughter file studio, which has been five years." "The quality of the railway propaganda film is suspicious, and 2.5 million after-tax rewards are charged." "The propaganda film in Chengdu copied the New Peach Blossom Spring." And so on, a series of scandals were exposed and circulated.

In August, Zhang Weiping said, "I have nothing to do with Zhang Yimou now!"

The dispute between the two affected the artists who signed the contract when they cooperated. Zhang Weiping issued a "filming restriction order" to 12 artists including Zhou Dongyu, Nini and Shawn Dou.

Nini stood in the Zhang Yimou, and a big picture of him appeared on the Internet.

Shawn Dou canceled the contract with New Film and paid 3 million yuan.

At this point, Zhou Dongyu failed to be locked by Zhang Weiping's filming restriction order.

Her agent changed from Zhang Yimou's deputy director Pulun to Bono's general manager Chen Yan. Beijing Bono Shiba Inu Culture Broker Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Beijing Shiba Inu Culture Broker Co., Ltd., and its founder is China Gold Medal Broker Wang Jinghua.

In 20 12, I was testing the water film circle, and "Palace Lock Aquilaria sinensis" cost over 100 million yuan. I've been filming secretly in order to create momentum for the film, and the hostess kept it a secret.

In May of the following year, Zhou Dongyu appeared at the Beijing Film Festival, and the mystery was finally solved.

When asked about casting during the Shanghai Film Festival, JUNG WOO inadvertently revealed: "I thought it was her at the beginning of writing, but why should I ask the producer?"

As for the position at that time, it was Zhou Dongyu, Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying.

Chen Xiao and Zhao have already cooperated with. Chen Xiao was favored by JUNG WOO, but he was overshadowed by Zhou Dongyu. Zhao, because of the popularity of Lu Zhen, can only be on a par with Zhou Dongyu.

Why doesn't the breakdown of the "two-Zhang" relationship seem to affect the development of Zhou Dongyu at all?

It turns out that the producer of Palace Lock Aquilaria Resinatum is Du Yang, a veteran filmmaker, and it is rumored that he is Zhou Dongyu's godmother.

Du Yang is a domestic gold medal film producer. Engaged in the film industry for more than 20 years, both investment production and publicity and marketing are proficient. He is currently the executive vice president of Beijing Jingxi Cultural Tourism Co., Ltd. and the general manager of Beijing Cultural Ferris Wheel Cultural Media. In his early years, he was the film marketing boss of Huayi Brothers.

She helped Lu Chuan complete the production of Looking for a Gun, Hoh Xil, Nanjing and Nanjing, and participated in the production and promotion of films, including Mobile Phone, Heroes of Heaven and Earth, Kara is a Dog, Kung Fu and Youth.

20 14 years, the campus romance "You at the same table" starring Zhou Dongyu and Kenny Lin took three days at the box office 1.05438+0 billion yuan. Produced by Ferris wheel culture media and light film, Du Yang is one of the producers.

It was because of her communication that Gao agreed to make the song of coming out into a movie.

By starring in this film, Zhou Dongyu became the first post-90s actress whose single box office exceeded 400 million yuan, and also won the 15 Chinese Film Media Award for the most watched actress.

Although the movie has a good box office reputation, the exposure of Kenny Lin and Zhou Dongyu is a sham.

The two were photographed by the media many times as if they were "dating", while Kenny Lin was exposed as "stepping on two boats".

Kenny Lin later broke up with the official in Weibo: "I believe that love also has a shelf life. At that time, it will leave a soulless body ... face to face with complete parting, just like parting with relatives, the left hand has lost its right hand, which is a tangled pain. Write these words suppressed for dozens of minutes, but this feeling has been suppressed for two years ... "

However, he quickly deleted this Weibo.

Later, his ex-girlfriend Rollin Wang responded: "The timeliness of entertainment news is very weak, and the parties often move to other places ... I have recovered my calm, so that many friends around me have no time to know what happened. It's not a big deal anyway. "

Of course, Zhou Dongyu and Kenny Lin have never admitted this rumor that has been making a lot of noise on the Internet.

Then, Zhou Dongyu changed her pure image in the movie "Let Love Go" directed by Ning Hao, and made a guest appearance as the little sister who killed Matt, subverting the audience's previous cognition of her, which was also called the beginning of her transformation.

The film is also distributed by the Ferris wheel cultural media where Du Yang is located.

Fourth,

20 15 is another turning point in Zhou Dongyu. In this year, she signed a contract with Sun He Chuan. Since then, her film and television resources have become better with the naked eye. In the following five years, she became the youngest "three gold" winner with two films: July, An Sheng and Better Days.

Taiyang He Chuan, CreditEase Entertainment and Jiaxing Media are also known as one of the troikas of the new brokerage company. During Zhou Dongyu's stay in Sun He Chuan, the company took over many big IP movies for her, such as Daoism, Like You, Animal World and so on. This has also increased her exposure and accumulated popularity in popular variety shows such as Chinese Restaurant, Let's Love, Youth Travel and Extreme Challenge.

However, Zhou Dongyu's true character began to be exposed to the public.

On 20 15, Zhuo Wei broke the news that Zhou Dongyu and a man were traveling in Sanya, and they were very close.

I thought that the star would have a public relations crisis, so I made excuses to prevaricate, but Zhou Dongyu was very headstrong, and made his love affair public directly. She also responded: Teacher Zhuo, I will remember to close the curtains in the future.

That year, the inspirational reality show "Extreme Challenge" became a national variety show because of the wonderful chemical reaction that extreme people helped six people.

Zhou Dongyu, who participated in the program, may want to show her true casual state and sense of variety, but she was labeled as "rude" and "low eq".

Zhou Dongyu appeared on the shooting scene as a tour guide, and Wang Xun was very enthusiastic. As soon as I came up, I invited Zhou Dongyu to take a photo. Zhou Dongyu flatly refused: "I don't want to take a photo with you."

Then, the group came to the chieftain yamen of Lijiang shogunate with a history of more than 700 years. When they saw the door closed, Zhou Dongyu kicked it directly.

And Wang Xun doesn't like dirty clothes, saying that Wang Xun has never seen the world, playing games and knocking Huang Lei on the head, and other details have been dug up, which has become evidence to define Zhou Dongyu's "disrespect for his predecessors".

Although Wang Xun later sent Weibo to clarify that he and Zhou Dongyu were good friends in private, saying that it was often the program effect, many netizens did not buy it, and even claimed to have turned their backs on Zhou Dongyu.

At the press conference of the junior class, Sun half-jokingly complained that Zhou Dongyu had some problems in dealing with people.

When they first met on the set, Zhou Dongyu greeted them directly in Pinghua. The first sentence is: "Hello, Sun."

Didn't see the attitude that the younger generation should have, and Sun was annoyed.

The result just calmed down for a while, and Zhou Dongyu spoke again: "Sun Honglei, my grandmother is your fan, please sign it for me."

This series of events greatly reduced Zhou Dongyu's original pure image in the eyes of the audience.

At this time, Zhao Shan, the agent of Sun He Chuan, played an important role in reversing public opinion.

Under her planning, Zhou Dongyu established the Ghost Horse Elf.

Zhou Dongyu himself is petite and clever. When he smiles, his eyes bend into a crescent shape, and his image is very pleasing.

So the company directly marketed her as a halo, innocent cleverness. In this way, even if she is "outspoken" next time, it can be said that she is less aggressive because of her straightforward and naughty temperament.

In the variety show "Let's Love", Zhou Dongyu and Li formed "Cosmic CP", and the combination of uncle and naive girl made Zhou Dongyu gain Lu's popularity again.

Zhao Shan has played an important role in shaping the image of Zhou Dongyu, and it is also inseparable from director Ceng Guoxiang to let Zhou Dongyu reach the peak of the film directly.

Ceng Guoxiang, the son of Ceng Zhiwei and his second wife, Song Lihua, wanted to be a director, but he followed his father's advice and majored in sociology at the University of Toronto.

Later, his father introduced him to Chen Kexin, and he and Chen Kexin learned a lot about movies together.

20 10 co-directed the romantic film "Love Story" with Jimmy Wan, and was nominated as the best cutting-edge director in the 47th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award.

He directed July and An Sheng on 20 16, and directed better days on 20 19, without exception.

When filming July and An Sheng, Ceng Guoxiang was still unknown. Zhou Dongyu's agent, Zhao Shan, pushed his way through the crowd and went to the producer, Chen Kexin.

Now it seems that it is no exaggeration to say that his eyes are vicious. July and An Sheng became a hit, and Zhou Dongyu and Sandra both won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

This movie not only made the two female hosts become good girlfriends, but also gave Zhou Dongyu and Leah Dou a story.

They were photographed traveling to Thailand together, and even Zhou Dongyu took Leah Dou back to his hometown.

On 20 19, Ceng Guoxiang invited Zhou Dongyu to play the heroine of his own film again. This movie is a beautiful day.

Cut according to the inch, and never make up. Zhou Dongyu once again explained what is called "strength acting".

This film also won her Golden Rooster Award, Golden Award, Hundred Flowers Award and other film and television awards, thus achieving the "Three Golden Slams" in her life.

Zhou Dongyu along the way, seemingly smooth sailing, noble help, in fact, I'm afraid the price behind it is unbearable for ordinary people. If you want to reach the top, you must endure its pain. What should she do next after she reached the top of the "Three Gold" film at the age of 28?
