She was recognized as the school flower of the 1996 Chinese Opera, but she was indifferent to fame and fortune, and she came and went freely.
Everyone thought she would marry a wealthy family with a successful career, but she has never been married.
She is Zeng Li .
Even the seniors Bao Jianfeng , who was two years older than her, once "respected the name for a long time":
"Zeng Li is famous for her good looks in school, I guess no one can match her in two hundred years. "
is such a beautiful woman, and naturally there are many excellent and handsome people around her.
Zeng Li only chooses poor boys who are talented and unknown.
Unexpectedly, the poor boys she "invested" in have all reached the pinnacle of life without exception.
is Zeng Li's vicious vision? Or are they full of potential?
What kind of life creed does this "older leftover girl" have?
01
In 1976, Zeng Li was born into an ordinary family in Hubei Province.
Zeng Li was like a doll when he was a child, and the neighbors liked to play with this beautiful and well-behaved little girl.
Despite the family's meager income, her parents are willing to spend money to cultivate her hobbies.
Since childhood, Zeng Li has been involved in singing and dancing.
Later, because of her outstanding appearance and outstanding talent, she was selected into the Red Scarf Song and Dance Troupe to learn gymnastics.
When he was in elementary school, it happened that the Peking Opera Troupe in Hubei Province came to recruit him. Zeng Li joined the School Affiliated to the China Academy of Opera to study Peking Opera.
Although he was transferred to a good primary school, Zeng Li was not as playful as children of the same age, but kept studying Peking Opera hard.
After graduating from primary school, Zeng Li was admitted to the Chinese Opera Academy , where the teacher assigned her the role of Tsing Yi.
Just when everyone thought learning Peking Opera was boring, only Zeng Liken spent sleepless nights studying singing and practicing.
After graduating from school in 1995, Zeng Li was assigned to work in the Peking Opera Troupe in Hubei Province.
There is always a gap between reality and ideal.
At this time, Zeng Li had a technical secondary school education. When he was working, he was often squeezed out by those with higher education.
Zeng Li has encountered many obstacles on the way to work, and rarely has the opportunity to go out to perform, not to mention his income.
Accidentally, she learned about Central Academy of Drama from her friend Zhou Li.
At that time, Zeng Li had lost the motivation to persevere in the beating of work, so he wanted to retake the university entrance examination.
With Zhou Li's repeated encouragement, Zeng Li decided to go there to improve his education and find a new path for his future.
At the beginning, Zeng Li's exam preparation experience was not smooth.
Her previous focus has been on Peking Opera, so she has no research on performance.
If you want to apply for the Chinese opera, you must have a certain performance foundation, which is very difficult for Zeng Li. After all, acting requires time to stack up, and Zeng Li was most short of time at that time. .
Unfortunately, because I ate something bad the night before, I had a stomach ache all night.
So on the day of the exam, Zeng Li's physical condition was not good.Sallow complexion, dizzy.
I thought I was out of the game, but as the head teacher of Chang Li has a vicious eye and fell in love with her at a glance.
Although Zeng Li's performance at that time was not good enough, Chang Li still admitted her.
In 1996, after less than a year of hard work, Zeng Li was admitted to the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama with the third place.
and Zeng Li are in the same class, and there are many talents, including Zhang Ziyi , Liu Ye , Yuan Quan and others.
Among all the beauties, Zeng Li stands out.
How beautiful is she?
Even Bao Jianfeng, a senior two years older than her, once said in an interview:
"There is no one who can compare to her (Zeng Li) in the past two hundred years!"
But Zeng Li at that time was not very good want to fall in love.
She has a tomboy head and acts unrestrainedly. Although there are many people chasing her, she has rejected them one by one.
At that time, the school specifically issued a statement that students were not allowed to take part in dramas without permission before their sophomore year.
But for many people, not taking the show means falling behind.
So even though the school's punishment is very severe, there are still many people who secretly take the show.
The most "excessive" is Mei Ting .
In order to concentrate on acting, Mei Ting did not go to school for a few years, so she simply dropped out.
Zhang Ziyi's actions made Zhang Ziyi panic.Just to get a good role.
At that time, many people squeezed their heads to get a chance to film, but Zeng Li had no interest in it.
For her, when she is in college, she has to settle and study well, and then she can present better works.
Because of this, as a beauty, she has no ambition, and many people have given her the title of "Buddha Beauty".
Zeng Li and Zhang Ziyi, Hu Jing , Qin Hailu and other six people had the title of Seven Golden Flowers in Chinese Opera.
During this period, another interesting thing happened.
One time, Zhang Yimou wanted to come to the Chinese Opera to choose the heroine of the new play. Except for Zeng Li, the six people tried their best to show their talents in front of Zhang Yimou.
However, Zeng Li was not interested in this. On the day Zhang Yimou came for the interview, she even found a reason to avoid the interview.
In that interview, Zhang Ziyi stood out and became the seeker of that year.
But what everyone doesn't know is that before Zhang Yimou came, he had put Zeng Li in the heroine's reserve.
Who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, Zeng Li didn't come to the interview at all, but Zhang Ziyi's excellent performance caught his eye.
Such a goddess with no desires and no desires, who will be embraced as a beauty?
02
Niu Qingfeng , who was in the same class as Zeng Li at the time, had always had a crush on her.
But apart from Niu Qingfeng, there are two people in the class who are very competitive for him.
one is Qin Hao and the other is Liu Ye.
It is said that Qin Hao fell in love with Zeng Li at first sight when he first started work.
But who knows, Zeng Li didn't like Qin Hao's type of man at all, so he decisively rejected him.
Qin Hao dismounted, what about Liu Ye?
Later, during a chat, Niu Qingfeng accidentally learned that the goddess in Liu Ye's heart had always been Hu Jing instead of Zeng Li.
Liu Ye also said in a later interview:
"In my eyes, Hu Jing was the most beautiful girl in the class at that time."
Niu Qingfeng, who had already understood the battle situation, was also at this time. Without hesitation, he decisively confessed to Zeng Li.
Before the confession, Niu Qingfeng was confused.
You must know that among those who pursue Zeng Li, there are many who are better and more handsome than you, and you have no advantage.
But Zeng Li agreed without hesitation, which surprised Niu Qingfeng.
It turns out that Zeng Li had secretly promised Niu Qingfeng a long time ago, and he rejected Qin Hao because she liked Niu Qingfeng.
Niu Qingfeng is very happy with the beautiful return.
From then on, Zeng Li and Niu Qingfeng started to go in and out together, and their love made others envious.
Unfortunately, sometimes love is like a tornado.
With the coming of graduation season, the relationship between Niu Qingfeng and Zeng Li has come to an end.
This relationship can be said to be Zeng Li's first love,After they broke up, Zeng Li was still sad for a long time.
But life is about moving forward, time waits for no one.
In 2000, Zeng Li graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.
After graduation, she followed her teacher's advice and joined the All-China Federation of Trade Unions as an actress.
The work in the Federation of Trade Unions is stable, but the chances are slim. If he works step by step, Zeng Li can't see his future at all.
After weighing it again and again, Zeng Li began to look for opportunities to perform on his own.
When the general trade troupe is not working, Zeng Li's figure will shuttle in various crews, acting in series, acting as substitutes, as long as he can get a shot for himself, Zeng Li is willing to do it.
At this time, Zeng Li could never have imagined how difficult it would be to find another opportunity after losing the great director Zhang Yimou.
Effort is not necessarily useful, but no effort is necessarily useless.
With Zeng Li's perseverance, the director finally had the discerning eye and hired her.
This is the director of " The Brothers ".
Zeng Li's first official appearance in a TV series started from this drama.
In the next two years, Zeng Li received four more film and television dramas, all of which were supporting roles without exception.
2003, a turning point, reversed her career path.
This year, she collaborated with Ruby Lin , Lu Yi , and starred in the TV series "Lang Cai Niao Mei".
In this play, Zeng Li plays the role of the second villain.
Ruthless but beautiful, such a strong contrast left a deep impression on the audience.
It is because of this play that many people remember the name Zeng Li.
Since then, Zeng Li has more opportunities to play.
In the same year, she participated in the TV series " Returning Like a Rainbow ", in which she played a sassy and beautiful military officer.
In the play, her opponent is Fu Dalong , who is also Zeng Li's second boyfriend.
In this entertainment circle full of handsome guys and beauties, Fu Dalong's appearance is not handsome at all, it can even be said to be ordinary.
But Zeng Li was still attracted by him when he was with him day and night.
This may also have the "credit" of his ex-boyfriend Niu Qingfeng.
Niu Qingfeng was handsome and dashing during college, but when the two broke up in the end, Zeng Li revealed:
"You can't be trusted to be handsome."
And when she met Fu Dalong again, it was only when she met Fu Dalong again. will simply be attracted by his talent.
Who can resist the pursuit of beauty?
Fu Dalong finally disarmed and surrendered under Zeng Li's repeated hints.
The two of them are considered to be in a relationship because of drama.
But the actors are no better than the students, and the two are on the rise in their careers. They often get together less often, and it is difficult to meet each other.
No matter how good the relationship is, sometimes it can't reach the distance.
In the end, they ended their relationship due to long-term separation.
To say that Fu Dalong is also a down-to-earth man.
When he was seen delivering food, he accidentally entered the entertainment industry.
After becoming an actor, he has never forgotten his original intention, worked hard, and finally won the Golden Rooster Award and other awards, becoming a veritable actor.
There is actually another embarrassing thing about the two of them.
In 2007, at an awards scene, there was a Shura field about Zeng Li's ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend.
At the awards scene that year, Fu Dalong and Zeng Li were invited at the same time, and the two were almost arranged to walk the red carpet together, but it was Zeng Li's boyfriend at the time - Li Yixiang .
How did Li Yixiang and Zeng Li know each other?
Like Fu Dalong, Li Yixiang and Zeng Li also fell in love because of drama.
In 2004, when Zeng Li was filming "The White Door Willow", he met this unique actor of tomorrow.
How is Yixiang Li different?
He was originally a mechanic, but he couldn't bear his talents to go nowhere, and traveled thousands of miles to the big city alone.
He doesn't like to study, but after seeing the romance outside, he fell in love with the profession of an actor.
Li Yixiang made a desperate gamble and was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy despite the obstacles of his family.
At that time, he was working and going to school at the same time. He was very inspirational.
Just when Li Yixiang was climbing up, he encountered the "Beauty Pass".
The first collaboration between him and Zeng Li, he was stunned by Zeng Li.
Li Yixiang has always been strong in execution. After confirming his idea, he decisively pursued Zeng Li.
Although Zeng Li is a beauty, she doesn't have many goddess airs.
Li Yixiang is also the kind of down-to-earth and steady character that Zeng Li likes.
But he is very special, because of his background, Li Yixiang always has such a "ruthless energy".
The combination of various feelings gives Li Yixiang a unique charm in Zeng Li's eyes.
Slowly, the two are together.
At that time, many outsiders said that Li Yixiang was not worthy of Zeng Li.
So Li Yixiang, who successfully captured the heart of the goddess, did not give up.
Therefore, this is the scene of the Shura field at the awards ceremony.
However, his appearance and background made Li Yixiang unconsciously inferior to Zeng Li.
Inferiority drives Li Yixiang to constantly quarrel with Zeng Li.
Emotions cannot be consumed. At that time, Li Yixiang only cared about his dignity as a man, but left this understanding woman behind.
Two people lost the power to love each other in the constant quarrel, and finally separated.
Zeng Li's fourth relationship has always been a mystery.
Not long after breaking up with Li Yixiang, Zeng Li had a scandal with Chen Kun because of filming.
However, the two parties in this relationship have not admitted it, and it has always been speculation from the outside world and the media.
Some people even boldly guessed that the mother of Chen Kun's son may be Zeng Li, who had an affair with him at the beginning.
Careful love is love, generosity is friendship.
Chen Kun once responded to the scandal about the two in public, which made everyone uncertain about the relationship between the two.
However, what is unexpected is that Chen Kun, who had an affair with Zeng Li, later nominated the best actor.
I have to say that Zeng Li has a far-reaching "investment" vision.
The male stars with whom she was in love were all unknown at first, and later all became famous movie stars.
Her fifth relationship was revealed not long ago.
This time the man is not a star in the entertainment industry, but an amateur.
As can be seen in the photos exposed by the media, this man is burly, slightly fat, with ordinary appearance, and has a very close interaction with Zeng Li.
After the news was released, many people wondered if Zeng Li was married.
But Zeng Li immediately published a statement article, which mentioned:
"Happiness has nothing to do with marriage."
This stopped everyone's speculation.
03
Now Zeng Li is 45 years old. Compared with Zhang Ziyi of the same class, Zeng Li's current state is not tepid.
I wonder if she ever regretted escaping the interview with director Zhang Yimou.
If not, then she may have embarked on a completely different path than she is now.
but who knows?
can actually be seen in Zeng Li's life over the years,She herself does not have much pursuit of career and love.
In the face of others mocking her for not being popular, she responded:
"Who said that it is best to be hot?"
Facing the outside world's disapproval of her boyfriend's appearance, Zeng Li was just Never listen, live your life from your heart.
At 45 years old, she has always maintained a girl-like appearance, which is not unrelated to her peaceful state of mind.
Maybe marriage or not is not important to Zeng Li at all.
Living your life well is the responsibility for your life.
The voice of the outside world is always the outside world, and life is one's own.
If you always change your life easily because of what other people say, how tiring it must be!
happiness or not, it cannot be linked to whether or not to marry.
Some people like to get married and have a family, and some people like to love life and be free.
Zeng Li is such a person, who can say that Zeng Li is unhappy now?
