. In the eyes of many people, there is no true love in the unpredictable entertainment circle, and those happiness and sweetness under the spotlight are vulnerable in the end.
But for Chen Hong, the recognized "mainland's first beauty", the love story between her and Chen Kaige for more than 20 years is still being written, and the "old couple and young wife" are still as loving as they first met.
Many people think that Chen Kaige is dumped on Chen Hong’s beauty, but more than 20 years later, he can still make this great director so affectionate and become a woman who can stand behind him. Chen Hong depends on more than just "Beautiful".
Speaking of Chen Hong, our first impression of her is "beauty". Just as netizens said, the ancients called "the appearance of a fish and a geese in a closed moon and a shameful flower", probably nothing more.
Time goes back to 1990, when Chen Hong, who was studying in the acting department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, participated in the movie "Urban Criminal Police" and played less than 10 minutes before and after, ranking sixth in the cast.
But after many years when people recalled this movie, they almost only remembered the pure and beautiful Chen Hong. It is no wonder that some people say that Chen Hongsheng played the female number six role as the female number one.
Chen Hong's beauty is classical beauty in his bones. At the moment when all kinds of "plastic face" have become the mainstream of aesthetics, this kind of naturally carved classical temperament is hard to find.
may be the case. The classic characters created by Chen Hong almost all come from those "costume beauties" with different styles, such as Diao Chan in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Luo Guanzhong once described Diao Chan’s beauty in his poems like this, "Brows and dais promote the hatred of wanderers, and the face of the old man is ruined"-Chen Hong’s interpretation of Diao Chan makes people completely believe that this is the peerless beauty who made Lu Bu willing to give everything. .
But in terms of the degree of classics, it is the princess Taiping who is not the most outstanding in "Daming Palace Ci".
Chen Hong gave Princess Taiping the flesh and soul, and the beauty and sadness of Taiping were fully displayed. Just as netizens said, Chen Hong satisfied all the imagination of the world for Princess Taiping.
Longing to stay with her beloved, Princess Taiping, who is tightly shackled by power and conspiracy, ultimately cannot escape the fate of death, which makes people sigh with regret.
If the fruitless love of Princess Taiping is a lamentable classical tragedy, then in reality, Chen Hong's love is more like a Hollywood romantic film, with such a happy and complete "Happy Ending".
linked the love between Chen Hong and Chen Kaige, and it was the masterpiece "Farewell My Concubine" that made Chen Kaige famous all over the world.
In 1992, this was an accidental encounter. As the director, Chen Kaige came across Chen Hong who came to visit the class. Chen Hong under the sun was like an oil painting, and this scene was deeply imprinted in Chen Kaige's mind.
In Chen Kaige's own words: it was the first time I met, and I was fascinated by her
but what really fascinated Chen Kaige is not only Chen Hongqing's beauty, but Chen Hong's free and easy character.
is different from the "classical beauties" we see on the screen. Chen Hong is like a tomboy in private, speaking and doing things very straightforwardly, which gradually aroused Chen Kaige's curiosity about her.
Chen Kaige once asked Chen Hong that other actresses were too scared to see him. Why did he not seem to have any "deterrence" when he came to you?
Chen Hong replied lightly: Are you a tiger or a leopard, why should I be afraid of you?
For Chen Kaige, Chen Hong's straightforward temperament made him feel relaxed, while for Chen Hong, Chen Kaige brought her a sense of security that she had never had before, allowing her to gallop on her own side.
In 1996, Chen Kaige rushed to Canada for a long distance and formally proposed to Chen Hong who was filming. Chen Hong said half jokingly, "Okay, try it first, but you can leave.
But Chen Kaige said very seriously, got married,We are not allowed to divorce. This is the only condition for me to marry you.
Never had a man made such a solemn promise to her. Chen Hong was moved after hearing this. The pair of talented men and beautiful ladies came together in such a natural way. This is what Chen Kaige said after 24 years of marriage, and he did so. He always regarded Chen Hong as his indispensable "muse."
In the filming of the movie "With You", there was a scene in which Lily, the heroine played by Chen Hong, celebrated her birthday. Chen Kaige specially put the scene on Chen Hong's birthday in order to "borrow flowers and present Buddha" to celebrate his wife's birthday.
When filming "Daming Palace Ci", Chen Kaige personally went to the crew to pick Chen Hong home and became her "personal driver."
A happy marriage does not only depend on the painstaking efforts of one of the partners, but the mutual support of the husband and wife. For the sake of her husband's career, Chen Hong is willing to put aside his glamour as an actor in front of the stage and start working as a producer of Chen Kaige's film.
As a producer, Chen Hong has always been involved in running around. She has to take care of everything from the construction of a scene to the box lunch of the crew, just to ensure that Chen Kaige's filming work goes smoothly.
Chen Hong is probably a strong woman living in her heart. Whether she encounters divergent opinions from the outside world or huge obstacles to work, she is just a soldier to cover the water and earth, guarding everything she loves. When
was accused of overwhelming public opinion after the release of "The Promise", Chen Hong and Chen Kaige shared the pressure from the outside world. She firmly believed that time would eventually prove that "The Promise" was not a "bad movie."
Many years later, people really changed their views on this "bad movie" and began to reverse the case for "Wuji".
She is always using what she can to guard the "juvenile triumphant song" she loves, even though her busy work has worsened her aging-she used to be so beautiful, sometimes she can't even wash her face, let alone maintain it.
is easy to icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. It is precisely this truth that the two people may have a long marriage. They understand that the marriage is hard to come by, and they know how to "build" their original intentions for each other.
In a program a few years ago, Chen Kaige mentioned such an interesting detail, which made people feel extremely warm and moving.
Every night when Chen Kaige goes to bed, Chen Hong on the side gently rubs the back of his head with her hands. She thinks her husband is already asleep, but Chen Kaige is actually quietly "enjoying" his wife's comfort.
At that moment of silence, Chen Hong regarded the man in front of him as Chen Kaige twenty years ago, and in Chen Kaige's heart, Chen Hong was the same as when he first met more than twenty years ago, and has never changed.
Even though the youth is no longer and the years are getting older, in Chen Kaige's view, "even if you have wrinkles, I think it is so affectionate and beautiful."
"When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win the world but countless." To have such a rare love, Chen Hong's life has been fulfilled enough!
