16 years, brothers turned against each other, 7/kloc-0 years old, Zhang Yimou sued Zhang Weiping again, and this hatred will never be put down.

One is a talented Buddhist director, and the other is a film and television marketing genius. The cooperation between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping is a perfect match in making money. However, from the halfway brothers to the court, all this has already been doomed. This once golden brother will eventually be destroyed in "gold"!

Zhang Weiping, 1958, was born in a military family. He grew up in Shenyang with the enthusiasm and generosity of a northerner. Later, he came to Beijing Institute of Pharmacy to study, replacing his mother's qualification and becoming a pharmacist in the hospital. At that time, he was still working as a pharmacist with a simple face. Faced with this passionate career, he never thought that he would make big money with movies in the future.

At this time, Zhang Yimou had already cut in line and worked as a worker in a cotton mill in Shaanxi for some time. When Zhang Weiping was a pharmacist, the national policy of resuming the college entrance examination came. At that time, 28-year-old Zhang Yimou was admitted to the photography department of Beijing Film Academy, which opened a door for his future direction.

After graduation, Zhang Yimou began his career as a great tutor, while Zhang Weiping lived an ordinary life as a pharmacist. At that time, he was quite satisfied with his career. He has done both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, and he never thought that he would leave his job related to medicinal materials one day. However, excellent people will never be buried. 1989, Zhang Weiping, who was just over 30, was taken by Siemens, so Zhang Weiping successfully became the manager of this foreign company, and his work in the foreign company also made him save some money.

At that time, Zhang Yimou had already made excellent films such as One and Eight, Yellow Land and so on. As a photographer, and with excellent photography technology won many awards, directly into the first-line photographer industry. And he is not only talented in photography. 1986, Zhang Yimou starred in the film Old Well and won the film golden rooster award for the first time. He also got a drunken actor at the Tokyo International Film Festival, an international A-level film festival, and instantly became an international film emperor.

Supposedly, Zhang Yimou is already very powerful, not only a famous photographer, but also a famous actor. However, his pursuit of film art goes far beyond this. 1987, Zhang Yimou directed the first film in his life, Red Sorghum, which made great achievements, but making a film was not as easy as Zhang Yimou imagined, because the hero Jiang Wen was too difficult to shoot, and the two often quarreled, and they couldn't agree from the beginning to the end, but no one expected that they actually quarreled over a world famous book. The film also won popularity for Gong Li, who was then a student at the Film Academy. Perhaps I saw Zhang Yimou's persistence in art, or I took a fancy to his talent. Gong Li also has a crush on this man 15 years older than her.

But Zhang Yimou was married at that time, and his wife Xiao Hua was a junior high school classmate. They walked through the student days together and jumped the queue in the countryside together. At that time, when Zhang Yimou was filming Red Sorghum, his wife Xiao Hua had given birth to her daughter Zhang Mo. And Gong Li also has a boyfriend at school, two childhood friends, a perfect match. But in spite of this, the two still did not resist the fire that collided with each other every day. Later, Xiao Hua found a letter from Gong Li in Zhang Yimou's pocket, and their love affair was exposed. Gong Li was beaten by her boyfriend for this.

However, despite the difficulties, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li came together. 1988, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua divorced and started an eight-year relationship with Gong Li, but this relationship ended in vain, and it was the Zhang Weiping couple who caused all this.

In the early 1990s, Zhang Weiping resigned from a foreign company and went to sea. He used his savings from working in a foreign company to invest in aviation food business. After earning profits, Zhang Weiping invested in medicine and real estate business and gradually accumulated capital. At a dinner party, Zhang Weiping and his wife Zhang Jing went to eat together. At that time, Zhang Weiping's wife, a fan of Gong Li, went to talk to Gong Li with an idolized attitude. Zhang Weiping also took the opportunity to chat in the past. After dinner, he took the initiative to drive Zhang Yimou home. They talked all the way, from poetry to life philosophy, but didn't talk about movies, because Zhang Weiping knew nothing about movies at that time.

However, this acquaintance opened a new door for the history of China film, because it was the perfect combination of these two people that opened a new era of China film. From then on, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping became good brothers. I didn't expect this northwest man to meet a northeast gentleman, and there was no gap. Zhang Yimou became a frequent visitor to Zhang Weiping's house. Although they have different personalities, Zhang Weiping is older than Zhang Yimou and small 8, but they still have a good chat, which may be the situation of bosom friends.

1995, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li formally broke up, and there has been disagreement about the reasons for their breakup. After Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping broke up, Zhou Xiaofeng, the literary planner in Zhang Yimou, never liked Zhang Weiping, so he created a work describing Zhang Yimou, and the outside world learned the true inside story of Zhang Gong's breakup. It turned out that Zhang Weiping and his wife saw one of Zhang Yimou's characteristics, that is, forbearance, so Zhang Weiping fabricated the news of Gong Li's infidelity to inform Zhang Yimou. On the surface, it is comforting from a brother's point of view, but in fact it is provoking the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li. Zhang Yimou is the kind of character who is hurt by feelings and secretly endures, so it was not until she broke up with Gong Li that Gong Li was labeled as cheating and parted ways with Zhang Yimou.

Gong Li, who was hurt by her feelings, turned to marry Huang Hexiang, which was quite resentful. After Gong Li and Zhang Yimou broke up, Zhang Weiping became Zhang Yimou's spiritual comfort. 1996, Zhang Yimou encountered difficulties in filming. As an urban comedy, the film mainly talks about migrant workers who collect waste products. Besides, there is no big Gong Li in the film, and the producers don't like the film, so they suddenly withdraw their funds when shooting is about to start. Depressed Zhang Yimou went to Zhang Weiping for a drink and told Zhang Weiping what he was thinking.

Having known each other for many years, Zhang Weiping has already seen Zhang Yimou's skill. In order to help his brother, Zhang Weiping casually said: I will help you vote! At that time, business in Zhang Weiping was booming, but investment was risky. Zhang Yimou didn't want his good brother to take responsibility, so he coaxed him, but Zhang Weiping didn't take this to heart at all, so the golden alliance of "two pictures" began with this film. But Zhang Weiping really lost. As a real estate agent, he doesn't understand the operation of film and television at all. So after the filming was completed, Zhang Weiping sold the copyright for 8 million yuan, with a net loss of 6.5438+0.8 million yuan. Zhang Yimou saw his brother's loss and felt guilty.

Probably to make up for Zhang Weiping's loss, Zhang Yimou decided to set up a company with Zhang Weiping. He is the director of artistic creation, while Zhang Weiping is in charge of film distribution and marketing. But what he didn't expect was that it was this decision that fettered his artistic creation and completely locked his brotherhood with Zhang Weiping.

At the beginning, Zhang Yimou made films that he was good at portraying little people. During this period, Zhang Yimou won many awards and made great achievements. However, literary films sell feelings, and these works have no good economic effect. Even a famous director, he couldn't get huge profits for Zhang Weiping, so Zhang Weiping began to find a way.

With the keen sense of smell of businessmen, when Zhang Weiping saw the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon directed by Lian, he thought that the martial arts film would be very popular in the future, so he quickly found the producer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to learn from them and began to study the film that Zhang Yimou would start shooting next. So with Zhang Weiping's efforts, the film "Hero" started shooting. Zhang Yimou didn't use new people this time, all of them were movie stars. China began to enter a blockbuster era. In order to make this work more profitable, Zhang Weiping even came up with a trick to prevent piracy. He sent the film to the scene the night before the premiere, and the box office of this film also broke the history and won 250 million box office.

Later, in the filming of Zhang Yimou, the actors were all the celebrity effect that Zhang Weiping insisted on. Zhang Yimou no longer supports girls, but cooperates with movie stars such as Andy Lau, Jay Chou and Jet Li. However, the contradiction between him and Zhang Weiping soon emerged. For the sake of celebrity effect, Zhang Weiping is no longer just doing promotional marketing. He put his hand in front of Zhang Yimou and interfered with Zhang Yimou's casting. When filming, Zhang Weiping directly added Jay Chou temporarily, so the age of the original little prince in the play was reduced. At that time, Huang Xuan, who was 19 years old and had been testing the water for half a year, was replaced.

The later movie "Three Guns Surprise" is exactly the same. In order to add disciples of Benshan, such as Xiao Shenyang, to the film, Zhang Yimou had to cobble together the film, but he also made a good suspense film into a comedy, which became Zhang Yimou's most dissatisfied work. Later, when filming flowers of war, Zhang Weiping imposed a passionate scene in the film for the sake of hype. Later, he sold the copyright of the original author to other film and television companies behind Zhang Yimou's back, trapping Zhang Yimou in injustice.

So the two good brothers turned against each other completely because of money. In 20 12, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping parted ways completely, but Zhang Weiping did not give up. Not only did he get back the management rights of his artists, but he also broke the news of Zhang Yimou's super life, which cost Zhang Yimou 7.48 million yuan. When filming "Golden Flower in the City", Gong Li signed a contract to refuse to meet Zhang Weiping and his wife, which indirectly confirmed that Zhang Weiping and his wife were separated at that time.

When Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping first cooperated, Zhang Yimou's father didn't think highly of Zhang Weiping. Even when Zhang Yimou's father died, his only regret was worrying about Zhang Weiping. Coincidentally, Gao Cangjian, who was on good terms with Zhang Yimou, also warned Zhang Yimou to be wary of Zhang Weiping when filming "Riding the Dust", but Zhang Yimou didn't take it to heart.

In 20 12, they parted ways completely. In 20 15, Zhang Yimou took Zhang Weiping to court and demanded a profit of 0/50,000 for the film Three Guns/kloc-0, but Zhang Weiping was awarded a compensation of 2.463 million, which he failed to implement. Now Zhang Yimou, 7 1 year-old, has sued Zhang Weiping and Zhang Jing again for harming the interests of the company's creditors, and this lawsuit is about to start.

Looking back on the brotherly relationship between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping in 16, Zhang Weiping may have a sympathetic heart when he first met Zhang Yimou, but his subsequent series of infatuation operations completely put this brotherly relationship on a stranger. Perhaps in his world, interest is the most important thing. Zhang Yimou won so many girls in his life, but only focused on his brother!
