With the help of his ex-wife Xiao Hua's family, he was able to make a name for himself in the film circle. When his career reached its peak, it was the silent guardian of his current wife, Chen Ting, who allowed him to enjoy a happy life with both career and family.
Zhang Yimou has just gained a foothold in the entertainment circle and experienced emotional twists and turns. On the one hand, Gong Li, a superstar who is eager to marry him, and on the other hand, Xiao Hua, who has given birth to her eldest daughter Zhang Mo.
It's just that years of marriage can't resist the temptation of new love after all. Unfortunately, the eldest daughter Zhang Mo grew up in the shadow of her parents' divorce.
1999, Gong Liyuan married in Singapore. Just when everyone thought that Zhang Yimou was going to get back together with his ex-wife Xiao Hua, Zhang Yimou had fallen in love with Chen Ting, who was 3 1 year younger than himself.
Originally, I wanted to give Chen Ting a full and low-key marriage life, but Zhang Yimou, who had just experienced emotional entanglements, didn't even have the courage to register marriage with Chen Ting, let alone give her a grand wedding.
In this way, there was no official announcement of remarriage and no license, so the two lived "aboveboard". Now, it seems that the arrival of Chen Ting is indeed a special favor from God to Zhang Yimou.
In 200 1 year, Chen Ting became a man in one fell swoop and gave birth to Zhang Yimou's eldest son, now Zhang Yinan.
In Zhang Yinan's childhood, Zhang Yimou's career was on the rise, leaving him with only his back and his grandmother's high-profile show-off.
Chen Ting's mother, Gerhard, was quite satisfied with Zhang Yimou, a rich husband, even to the point of complacency.
In Wuxi, Mr. Chen always shows off that his son-in-law is a great director, and his mother-in-law Ge often shows off his grandson Zhang Yinan on the mahjong table, claiming that his grandson is Zhang Yimou's son.
Compared with her mother's high-profile Koch, Chen Ting is too low-key. After years of marriage, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Zhang Yimou. She has been standing behind Zhang Yimou, forbearing and generously supporting her husband. But when she suffered setbacks in her career in Zhang Yimou, we could feel that this woman was not simple.
In 20 13, Zhang Yimou's love life was pushed to the forefront again. In order not to hurt her inarticulate husband, Chen Ting stepped forward for the first time, just to protect his family.
In the face of a fine of 7.48 million, Chen Ting did not escape, but chose to bear it with Zhang Yimou; In the face of public criticism, she never cried or wronged, but held her family's hand tightly and smiled.
/kloc-If you don't get a license when you get married in 0/0, Chen Ting can choose to bear it; But when her family is in crisis, she must be the bravest soldier. Chen Ting let the world know what "combining rigidity with softness" means.
To say how good luck it has brought to Zhang Yimou, especially on the issue of Zhang Mo, the eldest daughter, I can't do it, but I have also done special work.
For Zhang Mo, Gong Li has always been the chief culprit in the breakdown of his parents' marriage. She once wrote My Mom and Dad, in which she also poured out the reasons for the failure of her parents' marriage, and bluntly said that Gong Li was the destroyer of this marriage.
In Zhang's view, his childhood loss caused by the deprivation of his father's love will naturally be attributed to other women around his father Zhang Yimou.
In fact, Zhang Yimou is always ashamed of his daughter Zhang Mo. The reason why she didn't choose to marry Chen Ting and didn't want to hurt Zhang Mo again is also one of the considerations.
But for Zhang, Gong Li's every move really hurt her deeply.
At that time, after visiting the crew, Zhang Mo became interested in movies. Father and daughter have new topics, frequent exchanges, and their feelings are much more harmonious than before. They often talk for hours.
However, Gong Li is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She didn't like the frequent contact between father and daughter, and even broke out great dissatisfaction in front of Zhang Yimou. This point is also mentioned in Zhang Mo's book: at that time, Gong Li killed all opportunities for contact between father and daughter.
In a rage, Zhang Mo entered his foreign-related marriage. Facing all kinds of trivial matters after marriage, she felt the truth of marriage, especially after being taken back to China by her father after being subjected to domestic violence. Zhang Mo's dependence on Zhang Yimou is self-evident.
But at this time, Zhang Yimou is standing beside three lovely children, which is tantamount to adding salt to the wound for Zhang.
What Chen Ting has done for Zhang Yimou and the woman's daily care, generosity and forbearance deeply moved Zhang Mo, and also made Zhang Mo discover that marriage is not only perfect and possessive, but also a mutual achievement.
Undeniably, the existence of Chen Ting made Zhang Mo return to his father Zhang Yimou without any obstacles. Later, Zhang Mo worked in a company in Zhang Yimou, and worked hard in editing, subtitle, screenwriter and director, just to keep up with his father's footsteps.
Since 2009, Zhang Yimou's representative works "Three Guns Surprise" and "Flowers of War" have all involved Zhang Mo, and the daughter of a Buddhist finally started to have her own place in the entertainment circle.
Although she is not a half-brother, her sister Zhang Mo's Excellence has brought a lot of pressure to Zhang Yinan.
In addition, Grandma Ge also instilled in Zhang Yinan that "Zhang Yimou is the first director in China and a world-class director" and "Your father is the best director in China".
Zhang Yinan's trouble is trouble, and the effort is still working hard.
Especially after understanding the hardships and difficulties of his father Zhang Yimou and the painstaking efforts of his mother Chen Ting, Zhang Yinan always thought: "The son of a master should not and cannot be a fool, and the boy should inherit his father's mantle."
From the age of 16, Zhang Yinan followed Zhang Yimou to practice in the crew, and his efforts in Zhang Yimou are obvious to all.
In 20 19, 17-year-old Zhang Yinan directed the microfilm "Over there", won three awards at the Shanghai Student Film Festival, and embarked on a film trip to study abroad.
Zhang Yimou couldn't help feeling: "I won the first prize at the age of 38, and my son won the prize when he was less than 18."
In Zhang Yinan's mind, his father Zhang Yimou is his goal, and his sister Zhang Mo's Excellence is also the driving force to push him forward.
There are countless masterpieces in his life, but for Zhang Yimou, the happy life brought by Chen Ting is Zhang Yimou's most brilliant work.
