What is the relationship between Gong Li and Zhang Yimou? Why did they break up? There must be many people who know about that emotional experience, but I'm afraid not many people know from beginning to end. I still remember that in the early years, when Zhang Yimou's directorial career didn't bring him super popularity, he once appeared in many movies with Gong Li, and in the movies, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou also filmed a lot of kissing scenes, because the filming of this scene led to a growing scandal between them, which eventually spread to Gong Li and Zhang Yimou.

Both Gong Li and Zhang Yimou are among the best famous actors and directors in China, and their cooperation can be traced back to 1987, when Zhang Yimou directed the first film Red Sorghum, and the heroine of this film was played by Gong Li at that time. Because Zhang Yimou and Gong Li are directors and actors in this film, their identities are different, so they cooperate for the first time.

Sure enough, in 1988, Gong Li starred in the film Love between Ancient and Modern Warfare, and Zhang Yimou, as the leading actor of the film, starred with the first actress Gong Li. Starring by two powerful actors, the film has high praise and reputation, and the kissing scene between Gong Li and Zhang Yimou in bed is also impressive. The large-scale scenes in the film make people blush and heartbeat. Maybe they are shooting this film.

In fact, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou have cooperated in several films, such as Jaguar, Red Lantern Hanging High, The Story of Chrysanthemum Bean, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake,
