Why did Zhang Yimou, who had been in love with Gong Li for eight years, turn around and marry Chen Ting, who is 31 years younger than himself?

Gong Li and Zhang Yimou are both well-known figures in the entertainment circle. One is an internationally renowned "queen" and the other is a leading director of the fifth generation in China film industry. Their names are loud enough when they are taken out alone, and when they are put together, they will have a huge chemical reaction.

At that time, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li had a love history of eight years. Some people say that their stories are wrong from the beginning, but there are many things in the world that are extremely correct from beginning to end.

Many people are deeply puzzled about their breakup. At the beginning, they suffered a lot of pressure to be together, and even almost ruined their future. Why did they finally part ways?

today, let's look for the answer together. 1. First Meeting

In p>1987, Gong Li was only a college student, but Zhang Yimou was already a famous photographer, but in the director circle, he was still nobody.

That year, Zhang Yimou made up his mind to be a cross-border director, so he began to make his first film, Red Sorghum.

In order to find a suitable actor for "Jiu-Er", Zhang Yimou's leg was almost broken, but he still had no clue. In order to make "Jiu-Er" pristine and spotless, finally, Zhang Yimou had the idea of using new people, and he and the assistant director came to the Chinese opera.

At first, Zhang Yimou was disappointed. Those students were trained to behave properly and acted deliberately. Just when he was desperate, Gong Li appeared.

At that time, Gong Li was in the prime of her life, with clear eyes and a tender face. When she put on the clothes for the audition, Zhang Yimou patted her thigh and married her.

At that time, Zhang Yimou never dreamed that the female students in front of her would be entangled with her for eight years. At that time, Gong Li didn't expect that the man in front of him would achieve the glory of his life, and also bring himself a lifetime of regret and pain.

but isn't this life? Movies can have scripts, but every step of life is unpredictable. 2. Dark Feelings

After Gong Li was decided, Red Sorghum started.

At that time, the whole crew didn't know that what they were about to bring was a golden age in which Chinese films could not be copied in the next few decades.

Gong Li cherishes this opportunity very much. She works very hard. In order to perform the soul of Jiu-Er, she joined the group in advance and made a lot of preparations.

In fact, at that time, Gong Li already had a little boyfriend. This boyfriend felt that the crew was a bit complicated, and all kinds of obstacles prevented her from acting, but Gong Li knew it but ignored it, preferring to break up and join the group.

Perhaps because of his youthful spirit, that boyfriend often went to the crew to make trouble and hit Gong Li. At that time, Gong Li was just a newcomer, and the crew would not mind these things.

Only Zhang Yimou came out to comfort Gong Li.

In order to relieve the depressed mood in Gong Li's heart, every time after work, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li would chat in the corner. In those distant old days, they unconsciously fell in love.

that year, Gong Li was 22 years old and Zhang Yimou was 38 years old. She was married and had a daughter.

In p>1988, "Red Sorghum" premiered in China, which was an unprecedented success, and it went all the way to the Berlin Film Festival, so Zhang Yimou won the "Golden Bear Award" and the newcomer Gong Li became popular.

In their careers, they have all started their own new era. Emotionally, they have been inseparable, and their love is out of control.

But this love is destined to hurt someone, and that person is Zhang Yimou's wife Xiao Hua.

Like all the original partners, in order to keep her husband busy with his career, Xiao Hua kept a small home, took care of his daughter and took care of a trivial matter, but this effort was met with her husband's betrayal, which is probably the sorrow of all the original partners. 3. Even if you are ruined, you should stay together.

The success of Red Sorghum gives Zhang Yimou confidence. Facing his wife's responsibility, he simply puts his cards on the table and proposes a "divorce".

It's chilling that men are heartless. It's just a beautiful fantasy for people to be grateful to each other for one day.

So, at the peak of his career, Zhang Yimou ended his marriage with his wife and first love, and traded his reputation for freedom.

At the end of 198s, people could not accept "extramarital affairs". In order to minimize the negative impact, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li chose "underground love".

But after all, paper can't contain fire. Accusations and abuse are overwhelming. If others choose to keep a low profile, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li are two bold people. Since they can't hide it, it's fair and square.

Subsequently, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li started close cooperation, and these films, Ju Dou, Raise the Red Lantern and Live, pushed Gong Li to the position of "international film circle", and Zhang Yimou became the leader of the fifth generation of directors.

In a few years, they stood shoulder to shoulder, complemented each other, achieved each other, and flourished for those eight years.

Time flies. In an instant, they have been together for eight years. Gong Li has also stood on the threshold of 3 years old from a 22-year-old girl. At the age of 3, she wants a marriage.

To Gong Li's disappointment, Zhang Yimou refused to divorce her many times. Gong Li even said, "If we get married, I will stay at home and have three or four children for you."

But Zhang Yimou's answer is: "Isn't marriage just a piece of paper? Why do you have to take a fancy to this paper? "

Gong Li understood that what he brought her was love and fame, but he didn't want to give her a family. So, after the cooperation in Shake, Shake, Shake to the Waipo Bridge, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou announced their separation.

after eight years, we became each other's glory and became the most familiar strangers. This ending is deeply helpless.

4: Turn around and marry someone else

After breaking up, Gong Li and Singaporean businessmen rushed into the marriage hall, whether they wanted a home or to get back at Zhang Yimou. This time, Gong Li did it neatly.

but only she knows clearly that this marriage has nothing to do with love.

but a few years later, Zhang Yimou, who said that "marriage is just a piece of paper", secretly married Chen Ting, a female college student 31 years younger than herself. Chen Ting gave birth to three children, two men and one woman, for Zhang Yimou. The photo of their family was warm and happy.

Now, the past has become a smoke, dissipated in the vast years, and Zhang Yimou and Gong Li have also cleared up the past, but they are still Bai Yueguang in each other's hearts, the person who will never forget it after a lifetime.

Some people may ask, since they love each other so much, why did Zhang Yimou not get married? There are two rumored reasons.

First, all Zhang Yimou wants is an ordinary woman. It's good to have children for her, and she doesn't need to show her face. But Gong Li's aura is too big. She is suitable for being a girlfriend, but not a wife.

Second, Zhang Mo, the daughter of Zhang Yimou and his ex-wife Xiao Hua, doesn't like Gong Li very much, because Gong Li destroyed her family. And Zhang Mo once mentioned in her book: I still don't understand why a big star like Gong Li, when she was with her father, hated me so much, and why did she kill all the opportunities for our father and daughter to get in touch?

Because of the tension between Zhang Mo and Gong Li, Zhang Yimou thought calmly for a long time, and thought that Gong Li was not suitable for being a wife and mother, so he chose to break up.

After seeing this, probably everyone understands why Zhang Yimou gave up Gong Li and turned to marry Chen Ting, who is 31 years younger than himself. After all, what he wants is a woman who can be invisible for himself and give birth quietly.

It has been counted that after breaking up, Gong Li publicly cried for Zhang Yimou four times, each time silently, but the tears were all memories and stories, while Zhang Yimou's eyes looking at Gong Li also showed affection and love. No matter how much they fell in love, they all had their own lives, and they could only sigh with emotion: If life were only the first time, how wonderful it would be!
