In 1979, the movie "Lushan Love" became popular all over the country. In the movie, "Geng Hua" played by Guo Kaimin and "Zhou Yun" played by Zhang Yu were an on-screen couple.
This phenomenal movie made Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu become household stars.
However, Guo Kaimin's real girlfriend Zhang Zhihua suffered unwarranted abuse because the audience was too involved in the drama.
She was absent for a long time. Dare to go out.
At that time, Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua were just like "Geng Hua" and "Zhou Yun".
Friends around them felt that they were a match made in heaven. They were both talented and beautiful, and their love was very deep.
But their ending was not as happy as in the movie. Not only did they end up getting divorced after six years of dating,
until now, all the big stars back then have been reduced to supporting roles for others.
It has been 32 years since the divorce. What have Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua experienced?
1.
In 1958, Guo Kaimin was born in Changchun, Jilin,
In the same year, Zhang Zhihua was born in Shanghai.
As the gears of fate turned, the two people, thousands of miles apart, entered the film studio in the same year many years later.
Guo Kaimin’s parents are both geologists. They go out all year round and only see them once or twice a year.
His childhood was spent with his grandparents.
When Guo Kaimin was a child, he was lively and active, and he was often alone.
Before going to school, his favorite thing was to run around barefoot in the fields.
During this special period, he went to school late, so Guo Kaimin would read by himself at home. Sometimes when he got bored,
would stand on the field ridge and roar a few times, sing songs or read a few texts aloud, gradually developing his voice. When
arrived at school, Guo Kaimin joined the publicity team with his good voice. Whenever
had any activities, he would stand in front and shout slogans.
Zhang Zhihua on the other side had a completely different childhood life from him.
She had a strict upbringing, and her parents were intellectuals.
Since she was a child, she has been a quiet little princess in everyone's eyes.
Zhang Zhihua loves literature and art. When he first entered elementary school, he became the school's broadcaster because of his Mandarin standards.
In junior high school, she was admitted to the Shanghai Children's Radio Chorus and participated in many dramas.
was famous for her versatility and good looks in school.
Even when receiving foreign guests, the school will arrange for Zhang Zhihua to receive them,
because she has a unique skill " Shajiabang ". At a young age, she
can make the "Grandma Sha" in it come alive, often It aroused a lot of praise from the audience.
In 1975, Shanghai Film Studio was in urgent need of talents. Under the leadership of team leader Zhang Ruifang, it went to all parts of the country to recruit talents.
Zhang Zhihua, who already loves art, signed up immediately. Guo Kaimin didn't want to give up this opportunity, and
also wanted to sign up and give it a try.
The two of them successfully entered the studio, along with Zhang Yu, Chen Chong, and Wang Weiping.
Zhang Zhihua and Guo Kaimin, Zhang Yu is a student at school and the youngest, and the others are workers, peasants and soldiers.
Regiment leader Zhang Ruihua took great care of the three of them, especially Zhang Zhihua. The two later became so close that they surpassed the division. relationship. In the first year when
entered the factory, he did not learn acting first, but learned how to be a person and do things, and went to the countryside to accumulate life experience.
Under the leadership of the teachers, these fledgling children obediently picked up hoes, lifted iron buckets, entered the mines, and experienced life in various ways.
Teenage children will inevitably be lazy and cunning when working, and sneak away to play when the teacher is not around.
Zhang Zhihua is down-to-earth from beginning to end, and is silently there every time. Work.
Zhang Ruihua saw all this, and she liked this little girl who was willing to endure hardships but not squeamish even more.
Later, she often brought Zhang Zhihua with her, teaching her how to act step by step, and telling her her lines word for word.
As apprentices, their salary at that time was only 17 yuan and 80 cents per month. After excluding living expenses, there was not much left.
Zhang Ruihua knows that these children are growing up and understands their suffering.
Every time they are paid, he will ask them to come to his home to cook some braised pork and pork ribs to supplement their nutrition.
The children were not polite at all and ate all the meat every time.
During that time, they were pure and happy. Not only were they surrounded by love, but they also had respected teachers by their side to teach them how to act.
In the memories of Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua, it was the happiest time.
2.
They also lived up to the teacher's expectations. Not only did they practice hard, they also filmed several movies one after another very confidently.
Under the training of Zhang Ruifang, Zhang Zhihua was the top performer in the class at that time, and therefore received more performance opportunities.
Two years after joining the factory, she starred in four dramas: "Exposure", "A Thousand Rivers and Mountains", "Sweet Career" and "On the Road", becoming a relatively famous rising star of Shanghai Film Studio .
And Guo Kaimin was not bad luck. In the second year after joining the factory, he got the opportunity to appear on the big screen.
In 1976, Guo Kaimin took over the filming of his first drama "Second Spring", playing a little soldier in it.
appeared in a movie for the first time. Even if it was a small role with only seven scenes, he did not dare to slack off at all.
For these scenes, Guo Kaimin practiced hard in private for a month and a half. In the scene where
was killed by a shell, he even held his breath for a full minute.
In 1979, Zhang Zhihua and Guo Kaimin collaborated on their first film "A Hard-working Life".
They were partners on-screen and often rehearsed together off-screen. Their relationship quickly warmed up.
Two promising and high-spirited young people, a handsome boy and a beautiful girl,
They seemed to be a perfect match to outsiders, and with the help of people around them, they quickly became lovers.
Although Guo Kaimin is a little famous, his starting point is still relatively low compared to Zhang Zhihua.
The relationship between the two of them, a strong woman and a weak man, quickly changed because of a movie.
In the same year, preparations for the filming of "Lushan Love" began.
The male protagonist of this movie was "Geng Hua" played by Guo Kaimin,
The female protagonist was not Zhang Zhihua, but Zhang Yu.
In the play, Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin's brief and shy "cheek-to-cheek kiss" made people blush and their hearts beat.
Audiences have become accustomed to seeing kiss scenes in current film and television works,
but "Romance in Lushan" was the first kiss on screen since the founding of New China.
This kiss awakened the ignorant girls in China to love. yearning.
When filming this clip, both of them were very awkward. In order to avoid embarrassment, the director deliberately cleared the scene.
In the end, Zhang Yu quickly kissed Guo Kaimin on the cheek, and their faces became red. As soon as the movie
was released, it became a phenomenon and set many records.
is "the longest continuous screening of a movie in the same cinema in the world", and there is also a special " Lushan Love Cinema ".
Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu became famous because of this movie and became household stars.
And the audience's love for them also extended from the scene to the outside. They even thought that Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu were a real couple.
Little did they know Guo Kaimin is already dating Zhang Zhihua.
Every time he and Zhang Zhihua hold hands and go shopping, there will always be a voice like this:
"This is not good, Zhang Yu is better."
"This one is not as good-looking as the one in the movie."
These words made Zhang Zhihua feel uncomfortable in his heart. There was a huge sense of disparity.
Later on, she simply stopped going out and chose to avoid these rumors.
In fact, when Guo Kaimin was filming the movie with Zhang Yu, he was slightly attracted to Zhang Yu either because he was too involved in the movie or because of the close contact every day.
He also knew that he had held hands with Zhang Zhihua and could not have any second thoughts. He smoked cigarettes one after another on the set to relieve the depression in his heart.
Zhang Yu, who was unaware, thought he was in a bad mood and took the initiative to comfort him, but he did not know that the other party liked him. own.
People in that era were very simple, and they were also very naive when it came to relationships.
Guo Kaimin had already identified Zhang Zhihua, and finally married her smoothly.
3.
After getting married, the two were inseparable from the beginning, very sweet.
had the same occupation and many common topics. The two often discussed how to develop their careers together.
During that time, their careers were rising step by step.
Zhang Zhihua has starred in film and television dramas such as " Female College Marriage ", "Can't Forget You", " Dripping Water Guanyin ", "Vicissitudes of Life" and other works, and her popularity gradually increased.
After the college entrance examination resumed, she picked up books again , I want to fulfill my dream of going to college and polish my acting skills in school.
Guo Kaimin also starred in " Youyuan " and " Xiaojie ", etc., which also consolidated his previous fame.
As the two of them get along for a long time, many different views will gradually emerge.
Perhaps it was due to the different growing environment when he was young. Zhang Zhihua believed that the husband and wife should discuss things with each other, but Guo Kaimin gradually showed his machismo and had to listen to him on some things.
Many times, Zhang Zhihua chooses to give in for the sake of family harmony, but when it comes to filming, she will not compromise at all.
When we were cooperating in the filming of "Marriage March", there was a scene with Zhang Zhihua. She wanted to act according to her own understanding,
but Guo Kaimin, who thought she had better acting skills, asked her to act according to his request.
As a result, the two refused to give in to each other. There was a quarrel from the set to home, and
even said to each other: "We will never cooperate again, with me without you, with you without me."
For a long time, the two of them refused to give in to each other, and no one could do anything about it. Ignore anyone.
Until 1985, Beijing Film Academy created a refresher course and gave a place to Shanghai Film Studio.
The conditions were for those who had acting experience but had not gone to college.
Both Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua meet this condition,
and Zhang Zhihua only wants to go to college. This is a hard-won opportunity for her.
But she knew that her husband Guo Kaimin also wanted to seize this opportunity. For the sake of her husband's career, she gave up the competition and gave her place to him.
During this year of further study, Guo Kaimin occasionally visited relatives in Shanghai.
The two of them did not meet often, but their relationship became more relaxed.
It was in this year that Zhang Zhihua found out that she was pregnant.
She was not willing to give up her career, let alone the child in her belly.
After thinking over and over again, she decided to raise her baby at home.
As an actor, getting pregnant while her career was on the rise was equivalent to ruining her future. When
's former mentor Zhang Ruihua learned about it, she severely criticized her.
You must know that the classmates who came in the same batch as her now have their own masterpieces.
Zhang Zhihua, whose starting point is not lower than them and who was specially trained, is still tepid, and now he even wants to give up his career and return to his family.
Zhang Zhihua does not regret her decision. She is willing to be the backing of the family.
As a expecting mother, Zhang Zhihua had to endure various adverse reactions during pregnancy alone.
She had a big belly and felt tired after walking a few steps. In the later stages, she was so heavy that she couldn't even stand up.
But Guo Kaimin doesn’t know these.
After giving birth to the child, Zhang Zhihua chose to take care of the child at home, retreating behind the scenes and facing the trivial matters of life every day.
Compared with Zhang Zhihua who puts family first, Guo Kaimin pays more attention to his career.
After returning from her studies, Guo Kaimin broadened her horizons and was no longer limited to being an actor. She also came up with the idea of becoming a director.
This was strongly opposed by Zhang Zhihua. He has already made a solid career as an actor.
It is really risky to choose an unfamiliar field to toss at this time.
What chilled her even more was that in the years after marriage, her husband had ignored the family and even bothered her after the birth of her son.
In Guo Kaimin's heart, his wife Zhang Zhihua did not want to support his dream at all, and the two could no longer reconcile their conflicts.
Regardless of his wife's objections, he resigned directly, agreed to the invitation of the director of Hainan TV Station, and decided to become a director.
This made Zhang Zhihua’s years of grievance finally exploded, and he filed for divorce from Guo Kaimin.
After the divorce, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.
4.
In 1990, Guo Kaimin went to Hainan to develop his career.
In this year, he met You Yong's ex-wife Liu Xiaochun.
With the support of Liu Xiaochun, he invested all his wealth in filming.
But as his ex-wife Zhang Zhihua said, it is really risky to be in a new field.
And Guo Kaimin is not suitable to be a director. After the transformation, he encountered obstacles everywhere.
Not only I didn’t produce any works, and I still owe a lot of debt.
Fortunately for him, Liu Xiaochun did not dislike himself who had nothing.
still stood by his side and tided over the difficulties with him. Soon after, the two got married.
Zhang Zhihua on the other side was not so lucky. When
got divorced, her child was only three years old, and the situation after the divorce made her even more difficult.
Her figure was out of shape after giving birth, and she had no works for a long time. The entertainment industry has almost forgotten that there is such an actor.
She fell into infinite anxiety and low self-esteem. When she saw her son looking at her with a smile on her face,
Zhang Zhihua wiped her tears silently. Life would go on, and she had to cheer up.
couldn't get any roles, so Zhang Zhihua could only use his special skills and go out to perform acupuncture every day to make money.
From Peking Opera to folk songs and dramas, she will not refuse as long as she can earn money.
Zhang Zhihua saved a bag full of performance fees of 50 cents and 1 yuan, but when she counted carefully, she only had more than 3,000 yuan.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhihua's father felt sorry for the mother and son, helped take care of the children, and would subsidize them with some living expenses from time to time.
Later, Zhang Zhihua's friend introduced her to a dubbing job. Although it was a bit harder,
the income was much more objective than the performance fee of acupuncture.
"At most, I would switch to five recording studios a day. I felt like a ghost. I was in the studio from morning to night. It was all dark and I couldn't see the sun."
In fact, physical fatigue is nothing. For her, the most unbearable thing is the psychological pain.
My six-year marriage ended just like that, and all my friends around me were prospering.
I obviously started from a high point, but gradually fell into a trough, unable to extricate myself.
Later during the Chinese New Year, she went to visit teacher Zhang Ruifang.
Looking at the haggard Zhang Zhihua, her mentor’s eyes were filled with distress, and he comforted her and said:
"I have also had two failed relationships. I understand how you feel, but the hard days will eventually pass."
Even if life goes by, Despite all the hard work, Zhang Zhihua never regretted her decision to divorce.
She later recalled this experience in an interview and said:
"It's okay to endure hardship, but it can't hurt my dignity."
5.
Life is like this with its ups and downs,
In With Zhang Zhihua's persistence, her career and life gradually began to rejuvenate.
couldn't get the role of a gentle and beautiful heroine, so she took the role of a mother-in-law with a strong market atmosphere.
's several years of experience as a single mother gave her a deeper understanding of life, and she was able to play these roles with ease. .
In the TV series "Women", she plays a female textile worker with a fierce and bold personality. She has a loud voice and speaks unscrupulously, getting along well with her co-workers.
In 1996, director Shi Xiaohua found Zhang Zhihua and asked her to play the second child Tong Jianmei in the family emotional drama "Children Love ". The character
is not only dressed vulgarly and has a mean personality, but he also often quarrels until he is short of oxygen.
Zhang Zhihua's performance is natural and without trace. Even though it is very different from his own personality, he still performs this role very well.
While I was recovering in my career, the right person also appeared in my life.
In 1997, under the introduction of a friend, she met Zha Guojun, a famous painter who was 15 years older than her.
Unfortunately, his son Guo Cheng likes painting very much.
Every time Zha Guojun comes to see Zhang Zhihua, Guo Chengcheng will pester him and ask him to draw something.
He often admires this uncle. .
When Zha Guojun left, Guo Cheng would still ask reluctantly:
"When will uncle come next time? We should come over often to play."
Zhang Zhihua also joked that it felt like the two of them were in love. .
Zhang Zhihua was very pleased to see his son liking Zha Guojun so much, and the two entered into marriage smoothly.
After getting married, Zha Guojun treated his stepson Guo Cheng as his own son and got along very harmoniously with him, just like his biological father and son for many years.
When Zhang Zhihua quarreled with his son, Zha Guojun would come over to protect his son. .
The family of three got along happily, and Zhang Zhihua's face was once again filled with a smile from the heart.
On the other hand, after Guo Kaimin's transformation failed, with the encouragement of Liu Xiaochun, he embarked on the road of acting again.
The two newly married people are actually in a very difficult situation. They both lost their marriages and their careers.
Guo Kaimin has repeatedly failed in his investments, and Liu Xiaochun has no drama to film, and is even preparing to work in a property management company.
Fortunately, after they experienced a failed marriage, they knew how to cherish the people in front of them, and they never separated no matter how hard and tired they were.
Later Liu Xiaochun also gave birth to his son Guo Yihuan, who was very similar to the young Guo Kaimin.
After graduating from college, Guo Yihuan also entered the entertainment industry.
After experiencing glory and troughs, Guo Kaimin also understood the true meaning of life.
He also regretted that he did not cherish his ex-wife Zhang Zhihua. Later, he publicly admitted in the program that Zhang Zhihua is a very kind person and
he had to torment him. , neglecting the family, the two had many conflicts and had to separate.
In matters of love, it is difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong.
Zhang Zhihua is willing to sacrifice himself for his family. After discovering that he has lost faith in his marriage, he resolutely divorced for the sake of dignity, which is very admirable.
Guo Kaimin gave up her family for her career. Years later, when she recalled the past, she regretted it and learned to cherish the people in front of her even more.
Fortunately, both of them have found their own happiness after the divorce, and now they continue to shine in their acting careers. I hope they can spend their later years happily.
