G20 slogan

In my impression, Zhang Yimou has always been a powerful director. From the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to 20 16, he served as the general director of cultural performances at the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, China. Beijing time 20 18. Later, he served as the general director of literary evening activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China in 20 19, 10 and 1 2000. He has taken on great responsibilities in such important international performances many times, which is recognized not only for his technical ability, but also for his unique Zhang Yimou style.

To borrow a word:

"It is not that there is only one director left in China, but that there is only one Zhang Yimou in China."

This is enough to prove his pivotal position in China's film industry. At the age of 70, he still sticks to the front line of the film industry and maintains his leading position in art.

Zhang Yimou's youth from a worker to a director was also full of ups and downs. Zhang Yimou's ancestors were a big family in Lintong, and his grandfather graduated from yenching university. He was a county magistrate in the early years of the Republic of China and had a good family. Zhang Yimou's father said after watching Hanging the Red Lantern: Your grandfather's yard is bigger than this.

My father Zhang Bingjun is an officer in Whampoa Military Academy, and my mother is a doctor in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi Jiaotong University. It can be called an intellectual family. It is not only an uncle and a second uncle who graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, but also the chief of staff of an army from official to national. This is a noble family in old China.

Zhang Yimou, born in 1950, caught up with the scenery at home for some time. However, everything ended in the Cultural Revolution of 1966, and he became the object of criticism overnight. In that age of birth and composition, it was basically difficult to do anything. After graduating from junior high school, he worked in the rural areas of Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province.

He practiced two unique skills: painting the chairman and writing the struggle slogan with a mop. Painted at the door of every household in the village. After that, he entered the factory and was named as "one of the four talents in the eighth cotton spinning factory" because of his accumulated talents and excellent paintings when he was young.

Drawing allowed him to be transferred to the craft workshop to do manuscript design, which exposed him to the camera. Once you start, you can't extricate yourself. After saving three years' salary, selling blood and his mother's sponsorship, he bought his first camera and started his fate with movies. 1978 when the college entrance examination just resumed, Zhang Yimou applied for the photography department of the Film Academy at the suggestion of his workmates. At that time, Zhang Yimou, who was 28 years old, was still far from meeting the enrollment requirements under the age of 22. Coupled with his family composition, he was dismissed. Fortunately, with the help of outstanding people, he managed to enter the film academy, but faced with the exclusion of his classmates and was labeled as an admission officer. After graduation, he was assigned to Guangxi Film Studio.

This is an epoch-making film in China's film history. With its bold composition and unique lens design, it won the 1984 China film excellent photography award and was listed as the first work of the "fifth generation" filmmakers. As one of the cinematography, Zhang Yimou began to attract the attention of the film industry and began his long-term attachment to the film.

Zhang Yimou's first wife, Xiao Hua, met in junior high school. Junior high school students happened to be assigned to a place to jump the queue. Fate made them have feelings. Even if they are assigned to work in different factories, it can't stop Xiao Hua from washing and cooking for Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou also wrote more than 40 pages of love letters to express his determination and persuaded Xiao Hua's father. 1978, two young people who have been in love for many years finally got married. That is, in this year, Zhang Yimou was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and Xiao Hua gave up the opportunity to go to college and took care of Zhang Yimou wholeheartedly. As we all know, Beijing Film Academy is the crossroads between them. 1983, his first daughter Zhang Mo was born in Zhang Yimou, Guangxi.

The emergence of this kind of life still failed to stop the disturbance of the real world. At that time, Zhang Yimou, who was already famous for making movies, was looking for better works to show. He was deeply attracted by Mo Yan's Red Sorghum, won the copyright of Red Sorghum, and began to prepare wholeheartedly. At that time, he chose Gong Li between Shi Ke and Gong Li, which proved that.

"Red Sorghum" has won numerous awards, and Gong Li has also shined in the international arena, becoming the representative of oriental beauty. That year, Zhang Yimou was 37 years old and Gong Li was 23 years old. Gong Li became the queen actress of Zhang Yimou and the person in his heart, but they all forgot, as well as Xiao Hua and his daughter Zhang Mo. Betrayal and responsibility, trade off. Everyone is deceiving themselves in the confusion of their own compilation. The breakthrough of the story comes from a letter written by Zhang Yimou to Gong Li discovered by Xiaohua:

"I want to marry you, and the way you stay in my arms is so cute ...", "We always have endless words and things to do together ..."

All my wife's senses collapsed in an instant. When she questioned her, she got two sad words: begging her not to tell her and frankly saying, "She wants to have a son for me."

All illusions were shattered, and Xiao Hua and Zhang Yimou divorced. Zhang Yimou experienced a failed marriage and didn't promise Gong Ali to get married. Once this desperate eight-year relationship ended in a paper engagement.

Gong Li, who wanted to get married before the age of 30, met Zhang Yimou, who didn't want to get married. To outdo each other, they parted ways in their life choices. It was not until she met Chen Ting that Zhang Yimou re-entered the married life. Zhang Yimou, 50, met Chen Ting, 65,438. The age difference of 3 1 did not stop two people from falling in love. Chen Ting gave up his college studies and gave birth to three children without getting married.

Married on 20 1 1 year. It was not until he was bombed and fined more than 7 million yuan that people realized that a woman named Chen Ting had been silently supporting him behind his back for so many years.

Zhang Yimou often appears in public with his family, and his daughter and son are both glowing in their passionate fields. As early as the age of ten, Zhang Yijiao, the youngest daughter, published a picture book called "Food Diary", and she also created her own pictures and essays. Her son, Zhang Yinan, is also a talented future director and won the Best Film Award and the Best Photography Award at the International Youth Film Festival. On the cover of a magazine with my father, I am young and promising.

In daily life, even though he is busy, he never forgets to spend time with his family. Zhang Yimou not only plays chess with her second son, but also wears glasses to help her little daughter with her homework. At this moment, the dignified director on weekdays has become an ordinary loving father, and his life is as plain and homely as ordinary people.

Conclusion Zhang Yimou is still struggling for his film career. At the moment of showing his national temperament, he will feel at ease and look forward to hearing his name. Whether applause or obscurity, Zhang Yimou will always keep moving forward in expectation.
