In 2005, Chen Kaige's wife Chen Hong openly praised in an interview: "Ni Ping is not attractive, so Chen Kaige did not fall in love with her."
Ni Ping and Chen Kaige once lived together. After 6 years, they originally thought they would get married.
Unexpectedly, Chen Hong rushed out halfway.
Not only did she marry Chen Kaige, who was 16 years older than her, at the age of 28, but she also gave birth to two sons for him and retreated behind the scenes.
What is the charm of Chen Hong that made Chen Kaige give up Ni Ping, who had been living together for 6 years, and marry her?
What is her life like now?
Chen Hong was born in a "general family".
My grandfather was a fighting hero, and his parents were highly educated people.
In addition to being scholarly, the family is also full of heroic spirit.
So this also leads to the fact that Chen Hong has a strong character under her gentle and charming skin.
In the class, as long as someone's academic performance exceeds hers, she will stay up late and read books for several days, vowing to surpass that person.
In 1986, she was admitted to the Performance Department of Shanghai Theater Academy.
With excellent grades and good looks, Chen Hong immediately became the most popular school beauty in the school.
During that time, boys often ran to Chen Hong’s class to witness her appearance.
Sometimes, they would find excuses to send some small gifts to Chen Hong, but Chen Hong would return them all. She even told them very domineeringly: "If you have time to send gifts, why don't you pay more attention to them?" Book!"
This sentence immediately made many boys present unable to get off the stage.
Perhaps because of such a tough personality, she became popular much later than other classmates.
In 1985, Chen Hong starred in the film "Here Is a Spring" for the first time. She originally expected to become a hit, but she did not create much waves.
It was not until 4 years later that she began to appear in costume dramas that her fame increased slightly.
She first played the role of Zicuckoo in "A Dream of Red Mansions", with big eyes and red lips, and a delicate look in her eyes. At that moment, countless people remembered Chen Hong.
However, the most impressive thing is her role as Diao Chan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in 1991.
The book describes Diao Chan's appearance like this: "The eyebrows are black and make the wanderer hate him, and the face is the first to break the heart of an old friend. You can't buy a smile with a thousand pieces of gold, so why does the willow belt need a hundred treasures of makeup? After dancing, you secretly see her off through the curtain, I don’t know who King Xiang of Chu is.”
Perhaps when I read this passage, I didn’t realize how beautiful Diao Chan was.
Until Chen Hong put on the "Diao Chan" costume.
"There is tenderness in the peach blossom eyes, and the beautiful face is slightly sad."
Chen Hong's beauty made countless viewers shine, and they all sighed: "Isn't this just Diao Chan herself?"
Since then, Chen has become popular and is known as "the most beautiful Diao Chan".
Here, Chen Hong has just become popular, and on the other side, Chen Kaige has just fallen in love with Ni Ping.
At that time, Ni Ping had bright eyes and white teeth, and was very elegant. She looked like a strong woman standing on the CCTV stage.
Perhaps it was because of a love injury that when she met Chen Kaige, the two soon fell in love and lived together.
In that era, living together before marriage was not something that most people would accept.
Since they live together, the result is to get married.
Therefore, in Ni Ping's eyes, she will marry Chen Kaige sooner or later.
The two lived together for 6 years. During this period, Ni Ping seemed to have a different identity. She washed and cooked for Chen Kaige, and often visited Chen Kaige's sick father.
Once, when Chen's father's condition worsened, Ni Ping ran to the hospital without saying a word and urinated on him.
However, Ni Ping’s dedication was rewarded by Chen Kaige’s “concealment”.
Perhaps because he has experienced two failed marriages, Chen Kaige has a grudge against this relationship and has never mentioned it to the outside world.
But even so, Ni Ping still followed Chen Kaige willingly.
It was not until 1994 that the relationship between the two began to crack.
This year, the movie "Feng Yue" publicly selected the heroine across the country.
As a director, Chen Kaige had an even heavier responsibility. After screening hundreds of actresses, not a single one caught his eye.
Feeling depressed, he walked to the dressing room.
I wanted to chat with my old friend who is a makeup artist, but I didn’t expect to see a woman with exquisite features and charming appearance sitting in front of the dressing table with her eyes closed and typing softly as soon as she entered the door. Say hello.
This woman is Chen Hong.
Because she was too tired from memorizing her lines the day before, she took a nap with her eyes closed while putting on makeup in the morning.
Perhaps girls are naturally more sensitive. It didn’t take long for Chen Hong to open her eyes.
She looked at the man standing in front of her with confusion, and frowned: "Who are you, and why are you staring at me?"
Chen Kaige didn't expect that either. , this little girl doesn’t even recognize herself.
He smiled faintly: "You are the first person I have ever seen who can sleep with makeup on."
Chen Hong saw that Chen Kaige was also a straight-tempered person. His temper was very much in tune with his own, so the two of them became familiar with each other after just a few words.
Chen Kaige saw that Chen Hong had a good personality and good looks, so he subconsciously asked: "Do you want to collaborate in a movie?"
At this time, Chen Kaige was already thinking about what if Chen Hong agreed that he would immediately cast her as the heroine of "Feng Yue".
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Hong had signed another contract at the time and was unable to star, so he rejected Chen Kaige.
Helpless Chen Kaige finally chose Gong Li to star in "Feng Yue".
I originally thought that the two were just passers-by, but I didn't expect that they would meet again soon.
In the winter of the same year, bad news suddenly came from Chen Kaige’s hometown. His father passed away.
After learning the news, Chen Kaige immediately rushed back to his hometown, and his girlfriend Ni Ping also put down work to be with Chen Kaige immediately.
At the funeral, Ni Ping's identity was first noticed by the public.
In addition to comforting Chen Kaige, she was also responsible for managing and taking care of all trivial matters.
At this moment, a familiar figure entered Chen Kaige's eyes.
The man was wearing black clothes and a pair of black sunglasses, and was followed by two old men.
Chen Kaige frowned: "Chen Hong?"
When he heard someone calling him, Chen Hong immediately turned around and discovered Chen Kaige.
It turns out that the two families have known each other for a long time. Chen Hong’s parents and Chen Kaige’s father are old friends.
The dramatic reunion made Chen Kaige feel more moved towards Chen Hong, so that later he said with great emotion: "One thing I particularly regret is that my mother does not know Chen Hong. Hong, if I had met earlier, maybe I wouldn’t have been divorced twice.”
Even so, when he remembered that his girlfriend Ni Ping was still standing next to him, his reason finally suppressed his feelings. Throbbing.
However, fate is so clever.
The next year, Chen Kaige attended a party. The party was basically filled with famous figures in the Beijing circle, and of course there were some celebrities among them.
For example, Ge You, Chen Hong, etc.
The moment he saw Chen Hong, Chen Kaige could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He walked up to Chen Hong with the strength of his drink and confessed very intuitively:
"I I like you very much, you are very different from other girls.”
“Many actresses are afraid when they see me, but you have never been afraid of me.”
Listen. Upon hearing these words, Chen Hong's little face turned red. She smiled and said, "You are not a wolf, tiger or leopard, why should I be afraid of you?"
A straightforward character, genuine and not artificial. , Chen Kaige liked Chen Hong more and more.
Since then, Chen Kaige has entered pursuit mode.
From time to time, he invites Chen Hong to attend concerts, and occasionally takes her to travel abroad for a period of time.
Of course, in order not to make his girlfriend suspicious, Chen Kaige would also stay with Ni Ping for a while after dating Chen Hong.
Three people and two loves are intertwined with each other in this way.
No one expected that the seemingly harmonious and peaceful relationship would be exposed by Chen Hong’s assistant.
That day, when Chen Hong was resting on the set after filming, a man who claimed to be able to read palms came to her and said that she would get married soon.
At that time, people around her were still puzzled. How could Chen Hong get married so quickly because she was a popular star with no scandals around her?
At this moment, Chen Hong's assistant said something more: "Could the person you are marrying be the one who calls Sister Hong every day, director Chen Kaige?"
In one sentence, everyone in the room knew about her relationship with Chen Kaige.
Of course, Chen Kaige also knew about this.
Seeing the relationship between the three people exposed like this, Chen Kaige was a little angry. He went to Chen Hong and asked her if she wanted to use this to hype up, so she told the matter?
After hearing this, Chen Hong became angry and said fiercely with a red face: "I have never been a woman who relies on men to get the upper hand. Why should I make a publicity? If this matter offends We'll knock you down!"
Seeing the matchmaker in front of him being so decisive, Chen Kaige panicked and hurriedly went over to coax her.
He understood that Chen Hong and Ni Ping were completely different. She had always been strong and had never been a submissive little sheep.
But on one side is a beauty who is 16 years younger, and on the other side is a virtuous girlfriend who has been living together for 6 years.
The two choices put Chen Kaige in a difficult situation.
In the end, he chose the former and broke up with Ni Ping.
In 1996, Chen Hong came to Vancouver to film a movie, and Chen Kaige secretly followed her.
He came to Chen Hong’s hotel and personally made a bowl of Chen Hong’s favorite braised pork and ingot eggs.
Chen Hong didn't know about this at the time. She only heard the assistant beside her telling her that there was a surprise waiting for her.
So Chen Hong, who was full of expectations, was startled as soon as she opened the door of the room.
Her favorite dishes were placed on the table in the room, and a large bouquet of roses was placed on the floor. Next to her stood a smiling Chen Kaige.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Kaige did not answer Chen Hong's words, but then stepped forward and said, "Marry me."
Suddenly The marriage proposal made Chen Hong stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, if it doesn't work out, the worst possible outcome is divorce."
Chen Kaige's free and easy words made Chen Kaige tremble.
He told Chen Hong that he had been divorced twice and there was no possibility of a third divorce. He was serious about Chen Hong and wanted to get married for life.
The firm tone and sonorous and powerful voice moved Chen Hong to tears on the spot.
After filming, Chen Hong took Chen Kaige to meet her parents.
"If you dare to marry him, I will not recognize you as my daughter!"
Chen Hong's parents are very opposed to their marriage. After all, Chen Kaige has been divorced twice. Moreover, she is 16 years older than her daughter, so it is inappropriate no matter how she thinks about it.
But Chen Hong has a stubborn temper. The more her parents refuse, the more serious her resistance becomes.
In the end, the parents had no choice but to compromise.
In this way, the two got married.
That year, Chen Hong was 28 years old and Chen Kaige was 44 years old.
In 1998, Chen Hong gave birth to a son to Chen Kaige.
In 2000, 32-year-old Chen Hong gave birth to her second son, Chen Feiyu.
The two sons made Chen Kaige smile from ear to ear. Chen Hong also put all her attention on her children and husband, so she retreated from the screen to behind the scenes and turned to become a producer. people.
If Chen Hong was restrained when she was an actress, then she was completely relaxed when she was a producer.
Once, there was a male star in her crew who was playing a big role and asked everyone to be respectful to him on the spot, and even had a conflict with Chen Kaige.
After Chen Hong learned about it, she rushed to the person without saying a word and said three times: "I will not accept the threat!"
Looking at the strong woman in front of her, The male star sneered: "What kind of producer can a woman be?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hong's anger suddenly rose to the top of his head, and he said straight away: "Don't forget you Your boss is a woman!"
Seeing his wife protecting him like this, at that moment, Chen Kaige felt that he had married the right person.
Although Chen Kaige looks serious and serious outside, in fact, he is completely like a child in front of Chen Hong.
Not only did he give all his salary to Chen Hong, he even occasionally got naughty and gave his wife an award.
The certificate reads: "The most virtuous wife in my heart."
However, this is not the most exaggerated.
Every time Chen Kaige appears on a show, interviews, etc., it is almost all arranged by Chen Hong.
If there is an exclusive interview, it needs to be reported to Chen Hong in advance.
Sometimes when Chen Kaige encounters something unpleasant, he wants to use a disgusting tone to let Chen Hong comfort him.
But Chen Hong just doesn't like this. She doesn't eat soft or hard food, let alone numb food.
Even so, Chen Kaige has always remained grateful to her.
In his eyes, Chen Hong was different from others. Ever since she met Chen Kaige, Chen Hong had always been in love with him and maintained her love.
On weekdays, Chen Kaige likes to sleep on his right side, with his back to his wife Chen Hong.
Sometimes, Chen Hong would think that Chen Kaige was asleep, and then she would rub the back of his head with her hand.
In fact, Chen Kaige was not asleep at that time, but he did not tell Chen Hong.
Because he felt that at this moment, Chen Hong still regarded him as Chen Kaige 20 years ago.
For Chen Kaige, this feeling is a manifestation of lasting love, which is a kind of happiness and luck.
In today’s information-rich society, you will meet different new people almost wherever you go, and feelings will sometimes be given out at will.
But such a thing has never happened to such a beautiful and excellent Chen Hong.
Even now, when Chen Kaige and Chen Hong sit at the dining table, they can still look at each other with affectionate eyes as they did when they were in love.
As the saying goes: when golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless things in the world.
In Chen Kaige's eyes, Chen Hong is the best existence in his mind.
In Chen Hong’s heart, what kind of existence is Chen Kaige?
Chen Hong once said: "Chen Kaige is an honest, simple and unscheming person."
Perhaps because of this, Chen Hong played a protective role in this marriage.
In a common family, the man usually goes out to fight, and the woman waits for his return at home.
However, when placed here with Chen Hong, it seemed as if the position had been changed.
Once, Chen Kaige's movie failed at the box office and owed his partner company $600,000.
At that time, Chen Kaising was not wealthy, and he could not afford to pay back the money for the time being.
But he did not dare to tell his wife Chen Hong. After all, Chen Hong had just given birth to a child at that time and her body was still recovering.
However, Chen Hong has always been shrewd. She quickly noticed something was wrong with Chen Kaige, and she did not blame him after she finally learned that she owed so much money.
Instead, check the source of the bill immediately.
Chen Hong found that a lot of money was wasted on some props, so she told Chen Kaige: "Discuss with me before buying anything in the future and find the most cost-effective way to make movies."
Chen Hong spoke in the front, while Chen Kaige listened in the back.
The two of them came up with a solution together. They first took out all their family savings, and then borrowed some.
In this way, the US$600,000 was finally paid off.
At that time, Sun Honglei also lamented: "Chen Hong is so amazing. She stands alone and is Chen Kaige's right-hand man."
Now Chen Hong is 53 years old and is behind the scenes. She has long since become a strong career woman.
On her body, there are traces of the passage of time and the traces of ups and downs she has experienced.
Review her relationship with Chen Kaige and Ni Ping.
Chen Hong once said: "Chen Kaige has the right to choose his lover, and I also have the right to choose my happiness. As long as our love does not break the moral bottom line, love is love."
< p> As time goes by, Chen Hong seems to have always been a strong and straightforward woman.No matter she faced the ups and downs of love or career setbacks, she never gave up.
Marriage is like a book, with sweetness and conflicts.
Different contents interpret things differently.
Now Chen Kaige and Chen Hong have been married for 26 years, and they are still in love.
