Photography Chen Ting

As the saying goes, "Behind every successful man, there must be a woman who gives silently."

Throughout the ages, men who have made great achievements in a certain aspect are often inseparable from the women who silently support him behind their backs. Most of them do not seek fame or profit. They are selfless only when men need comfort most, always warm them, keep a steady stream of water for a long time, and tie a man's heart firmly to themselves.

There is such a woman behind the famous director Zhang Yimou. Her name is Chen Ting.

Unlike Zhang Yimou's first wife, Xiao Hua, and his ex-girlfriend Gong Li, Chen Ting can't be compared with them, but she tied Zhang Yimou firmly to her side and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Zhang Yimou.

People can't help wondering, what magic does Chen Ting, who looks like an ordinary person, have, and can squeeze past his first wife, Xiao Hua, and his radiant girlfriend, Gong Li, and take root in Zhang Yimou's life?

This has to start from these feelings of Zhang Yimou in detail.

Married Xiao Hua but fell in love with Gong Li, and Zhang Yimou abandoned his "scum wife".

Zhang Yimou's marriage to his first wife, Xiao Hua, was actually a combination of the two people's happiness at that time and "all shall be well, jack shall have Jill".

Zhang Yimou met Xiao Hua in middle school. At that time, because of his rich family background, he was labeled as a "bourgeois" and was often bullied at school.

Xiaohua is a light in his gloomy middle school life. Xiao Hua is the daughter of a scholarly family. She is quiet and gentle, but she will come out to comfort Zhang Yimou when he is bullied.

Zhang Yimou gradually fell in love with the girl who accompanied him all the time, and Xiao Hua also knew that this silent and stubborn boy was brilliant and would certainly achieve something in the future.

They got closer and closer, and Zhang Yimou even wrote more than 40 pages of love letters to Xiao Hua to show his heart. Despite everyone's opposition, he insisted on accompanying Zhang Yimou to the countryside.

After going to the countryside for three years, their minds gradually strengthened, and they confirmed each other that they were the people who wanted to live their whole lives.

1979, despite the strong opposition from both families, Xiao Hua and Zhang Yimou got married, and their married life was happy and sweet.

Zhang Yimou's talent gradually emerged. After resuming the college entrance examination, I was admitted to the photography department of Beijing Film Academy. Since then, he has accumulated photographic experience and finally became famous with films such as Yellow Land and Military Parade.

And Xiao Hua also gave birth to a daughter, Zhang Mo, who has a happy family and a successful career, and seems to be developing in a good direction.

1987, Zhang Yimou directed the film Red Sorghum as a director for the first time. In this play, he met Gong Li.

The appearance of Gong Li laid the groundwork for the failure of marriage between Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua.

Gong Li was in his prime. She is young and beautiful, with superior temperament, and fell in love with Zhang Yimou's bold and passionate love. Zhang Yimou's career at that time was colorful. It was when the spring breeze was in full swing that Gong Li's love happened. He fell in love with her quickly, but forgot his wife and daughter at home.

Red Sorghum was an unprecedented success, winning the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film at the 8th China Film Festival, and the 1 1 Hundred Flowers Award Best Feature Film.

Gong Li suddenly became the hottest actress, and Zhang Yimou became a rare excellent director.

Moreover, the two men openly disclosed their love affair, and Zhang Yimou made up his mind to divorce Xiao Hua.

Xiaohua still resisted and refused to admit the reality. Zhang Yimou said, "I can't get my feelings back. I want to be with her. Let others say whatever they like, whether it's Chen Shimei or a bastard. I don't live for others. Besides, what others say is nonsense, the key is your attitude. If you don't agree, I can only take the last road, leave my hometown and wander around the world. "

Zhang Yimou was adamant, as if it didn't matter whether she could get her consent or not, so Xiao Hua divorced Zhang Yimou with endless hatred, took her daughter out of life, and was single from now on.

At this point, Zhang Yimou, who was single again, began an eight-year relationship with Gong Li.

Gong Li couldn't let go, and young Chen Ting finally became the final winner.

Like the initial relationship with Xiao Hua, Zhang Yimou is deeply in love with Gong Li at the moment.

He personally participated in the production of every film starring Gong Li, such as Alive, Hanging the Red Lantern High, and The Story of Autumn Chrysanthemum. Zhang Yimou gradually transformed Gong Li from an unknown student into an international superstar.

For eight years, Gong Li attended every important occasion, and Zhang Yimou accompanied him.

Gong Li is a woman, what she wants is a stable family, and she hopes Zhang Yimou can give her a birthright.

It is said that while filming the movie "Shake, Shake, Shake to the Waipo Bridge", Gong Li's brother once approached Zhang Yimou to discuss her marriage with Gong Li, but Zhang Yimou refused.

Zhang Yimou said to Gong Li, "Isn't marriage just a piece of paper? Why do you have to value this paper? "

But eight years of companionship just can't change this paper.

Gong Li has her own self-esteem. She broke up with Zhang Yimou happily, broke off her eight-year relationship and joined other marriages.

At this time, Chen Ting, the third woman in Zhang Yimou's life who accompanied him to this day, appeared.

1999, 18-year-old Chen Ting auditioned for the heroine of Zhang Yimou's Happy Time.

Zhang Yimou was testing whether the actors met his standards one by one, and suddenly he fell in love with Chen Ting at first sight.

The spark of love was rekindled, and Zhang Yimou quickly confessed to Chen Ting. In an instant, Chen Ting was shocked and determined that she also liked this charming man who was 365,438+0 years older than her.

The two quickly established their relationship.

It wasn't long before they got together, and Zhang Yimou made a rock-breaking remark. He said to Chen Ting, "Give me a child." .

Chen Tingcai 18 years old, and the university has not yet started. Zhang Yimou's request was similar to "unreasonable", but Chen Ting decisively agreed.

Chen Ting is undoubtedly clever. She doesn't want birthright, and she doesn't force Zhang Yimou to get married. She just gave silently. Even if she is not known, she is willing to be the woman behind Zhang Yimou. In the following time, she gave birth to three children for Zhang Yimou in succession.

She didn't give up on herself, didn't turn herself into an orchid, and needed to rely on Zhang Yimou to grow. During the period when she gave birth to three children, Chen Ting successively completed her undergraduate and postgraduate studies. After the arrival of her little daughter, she took her little daughter to ballet class every day and never slacked off.

Finally, at 200 1, Chen Ting got the marriage certificate that Gong Li couldn't get, and formally tied Zhang Yimou to himself.

Then, in 20 13, the media broke the news that Zhang Yimou was born out of wedlock, and Zhang Yimou paid a huge fine of 7.48 million yuan for it, so Chen Ting and her children finally became an aboveboard and irreplaceable family in Zhang Yimou.

At this point, Zhang Yimou can be said to have no way to leave Chen Ting's side, surpassing Gong Li and Xiao Hua, while the young Chen Ting has firmly taken the position of "Zhang Yimou's wife".

Just like her Weibo certification "Chen Ting, Zhang Yimou's wife", simple words and silent publicity are a show that only belongs to the winner.

Being able to surpass Xiao Hua and replace Gong Li, seemingly young Chen Ting is actually a man with a firm heart and a sense of proportion.

Chen Ting didn't bet on the affection between him and Zhang Yimou. She just knows better what she should do and what Zhang Yimou wants to like about her.

She was at ease, relaxed and enjoyed life in this limit, which also silently influenced Zhang Yimou's life and finally won the recognition of Zhang Yimou.

Now Zhang Yimou generously admits and dotes on her, and their three children are all successful teenagers. Chen Ting can be said to be a real "winner in life".
