Recently, the TV series "Children of the Qiao Family" has just concluded. In the first episode, the fifth child of the Qiao family was born in 1977. That long period of time carries many memories of those born in the 1970s, which also makes this drama It caused a lot of screams from the audience.
The late 1970s was a time when culture and art flourished. At that time, many excellent film and television works emerged, and many capable actors became popular.
In a movie called "When We Were Young", there was a tall and handsome actor. His sunny and handsome image made the girls at that time crazy.
However, none of these girls expected that this clean and cheerful actor would later grow a messy beard and transform into a big director. They would not have thought that this seemingly dedicated man would have many shocking love scandals in the future.
This person is today's great director Zhang Jizhong. The late 1970s was an important turning point in his life and the beginning of his romantic life. So why did Zhang Jizhong have constant scandals throughout his life?
1 The start was all due to a wife
Zhang Jizhong’s childhood was accompanied by singing and dancing. He had been learning dance since he was a child. At the suggestion of his teacher, he participated in the dance department of the People’s Liberation Army Art Academy. admissions exam.
Zhang Jizhong, who had excellent grades, successfully passed the various examinations and his scores were not low, but he was rejected during the qualification review, that is, the family composition review.
Seeing that there was no hope of entering the campus, Zhang Jizhong had no choice but to go to the countryside to join the team. In Yuanping, Shanxi, young Zhang Jizhong met Wang Ding, an educated youth.
Zhang Jizhong always attracted everyone's attention at that time because he never gave up his dream of being an actor when he went to the countryside. Even when he was working as a worker in a factory, he would sing and dance in his spare time. Dance.
Zhang Jizhong is particularly popular among workers, and Wang Ding will inevitably look at him more. However, Wang Ding’s family situation is relatively good. Her father is a powerful figure, so she always puts on airs. , unwilling to fall in love with Zhang Jizhong, a poor boy with nothing.
However, the difference in family conditions could not hold back the love for a long time. In three years, Zhang Jizhong applied for various art schools while using all his means to pursue Wang Ding.
Repeated failures in the exams were a big blow to Zhang Jizhong, but fortunately, he finally found his beauty and successfully married Wang Ding.
After the two got married, they gave birth to a daughter, Zhang Yuxin, who is also Zhang Jizhong’s first child. Zhang Yuxin is very promising. She has completely inherited her father’s talent in directing and production, and now she is on iQi The position of Vice President of Arts, but that is all a story for another day.
After Zhang Jizhong married Wang Ding, he was taken care of by his father-in-law. With his previous knowledge reserves from school, he was arranged to work as a history teacher in the city.
Although life is much better than when he was a worker, Zhang Jizhong is still unwilling to give up his dream of singing and dancing. In his spare time, he often participates in theatrical performances and makes many friends during his time there.
So, a party at a friend’s house changed Zhang Jizhong’s life. In 1977, 26-year-old Zhang Jizhong met the famous director Sun Daolin at the dinner table. During the meal, Zhang Jizhong frequently showed off his talents to the director. Although his friends at the same table despised his flattering behavior, he still tried his best to show off his talents. Dance and sing.
Sun Daolin saw that he was sincere and really talented, so he suggested to Zhang Jizhong that he apply for a local drama troupe. Soon after, Zhang Jizhong successfully applied for the Shanxi Repertory Theater and started his career as an actor.
In the theater troupe, Zhang Jizhong is not the experienced type, so every time he encounters the problem of casting for a film, he will always hit a wall. Fortunately, Zhang Jizhong has the help of his father-in-law, who once worked in the Central Radio and Television Bureau His former father-in-law used his connections to get him the leading role in a film.
It is a pity that this film was not released due to some problems. Zhang Jizhong’s dream of becoming famous was once shattered. His wife Wang Ding has always been concerned about her husband’s career and hoped to help him, so she repeatedly begged her father to continue filming. Help Zhang Jizhong.
The father-in-law who felt sorry for his daughter helped him again. This time Zhang Jizhong was recommended to Sichuan Emei Film Factory, and he quickly got the leading actor in the movie "Dancing Love". Coincidentally, the heroine in the film was played by actress Cheng Xiaoying, who had previously collaborated with Zhang Jizhong. The two of them had previously starred together in a movie that was not released.
Cheng Xiaoying, who graduated from Nortel, is intellectually elegant. She and Zhang Jizhong had many professional topics to talk about in acting. While chatting with Cheng Xiaoying and filming, Zhang Jizhong thought of Wang Ding. His wife at home did not He understands acting, but he can only say that some parents are short-lived. This contrast makes him can't help but want to get closer to Cheng Xiaoying, and wants to take a step to "cross the line".
However, his father-in-law's power and kindness to him allowed Zhang Jizhong to retain some rationality. He finally gave up on Cheng Xiaoying and continued to live with his wife and daughter down-to-earth.
After starring in several movies, Zhang Jizhong's career became prosperous. Gradually, he began to pay attention to some shooting techniques and observed what the staff were doing during shooting, because he was determined to develop into a production position.
In 1985, Zhang Jizhong became an assistant director at Emei Film Studio and officially started his career as a director.
That year, the TV series "Shopkeeper Ge", for which he served as assistant director, did not receive high ratings and did not create any waves, but it solidified Zhang Jizhong's idea of ??becoming a director.
If you are not capable, learn more and ask for advice. Zhang Jizhong knew that if he did not work hard in his thirties, it would be too late. After that, he collaborated with director Zhang Shaolin for the first time as a producer to film the TV series "A Hundred Years of Worry", which won the Zhang Jizhong was very happy to receive the Five One Project Award from the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and even devoted himself to the production of TV series.
It is true that hard work can make up for failure. In 1990, the TV series "There is Such a Policeman", which Zhang Jizhong served as the producer, won the Feitian Award, and his reputation has been established since then.
2 people are full of peach blossoms in middle age
1992 was a year of great luck for Zhang Jizhong. He was first recommended to enter the coveted Chinese opera for further study, and then became a star of the TV series "Three Kingdoms" The producer of the "Southern and Northern War" chapter in "The Romance".
Zhang Jizhong, whose career was on the rise, met Wang Jinghua, a young and beautiful girl on the Chinese Opera campus. The two people, who were 21 years apart, came together while discussing acting skills. However, both of them later denied the incident and scolded the person who broke the news about their relationship, accusing him of being nosy.
But the owner of the milkshake shop who broke the news at the time was so angry at the two people's arrogant attitude that he found the media to break the news about their relationship again.
At that time, Zhang Jizhong was very good to Wang Jinghua. After all, in this kind of "old husband and young wife" lovers, the older one always takes care of the younger one.
But the good times did not last long. Wang Jinghua was about to graduate not long after the two fell in love. At that time, Zhang Jizhong hoped that Wang Jinghua could stay with him. He was very confident that he could make Wang Jinghua popular.
But unfortunately, Wang Jinghua had to fill in for the filming of "Once Upon a Time in China", and the director of this film was the famous Tsui Hark. In order to star in this movie, Wang Jinghua signed a contract with Tsui Hark. Ke's studio, which means that she can no longer film with Zhang Jizhong as she pleases.
Wang Jinghua later followed the company to develop in Hong Kong, and naturally lost contact with Zhang Jizhong.
In this way, Zhang Jizhong ended his second "cheating". At this time, he was busy with work and his wife Wang Ding spent less time together and separated more. He put all his energy on his career. After all, at that time He has left local television and became a producer for CCTV.
After "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" became popular, Zhang Jizhong began filming "Water Margin". During this period, he also invited his rumored lover Wang Jinghua to play the role of Lady Lin Chong. Of course, this time the relationship between the two is just the director and the actor. After all, Zhang Jizhong already has a heart-to-heart relationship.
While working as a producer at CCTV, Zhang Jizhong reunited with Fan Xinman, who had just graduated from Central Television. Fan Xinman was also signed to CCTV at that time, and the two often met and chatted. The reason for the reunion of the two is that it is said that Fan Xinman met Zhang Jizhong as early as 1988. However, it is also said that the two met when Zhang Jizhong was studying in Chinese opera, and because of the existence of Wang Jinghua, Fan Xinman did not get to know Zhang Jizhong earlier.
Speaking of it, it was fate. Fan Xinman once liked "Dancing Love" starring Zhang Jizhong and hung the movie poster in her room. When she met Zhang Jizhong many years later, she had no idea that the bearded man in front of her was the clean and handsome male protagonist.
Later, by chance, Zhang Jizhong discovered the poster that Fan Xinman cherished, so Zhang Jizhong happily told her that he was the leading actor of her heart. Soon the two got to know each other, they were attracted to each other, came together and started living together.
In 1995, Zhang Jizhong and Wang Ding went through the divorce procedures and got rid of his first wife, who made him tired and paved the way for his hard life.
In the year that Zhang Jizhong divorced, Fan Xinman, who was working as a director in "Eastern Time and Space", met a young man named Ma Yun.
Yes, it is the Jack Ma that the world knows well. At that time, Jack Ma was still very depressed, but he had profound insights into the development of the Internet.
Although Fan Xinman was confused by these opinions, she felt that she should help this young man, so she had a special program called "Scholar Ma Yun". It also attracted widespread attention to Jack Ma.
Later, Ma Yun was very grateful to Fan Xinman. It is said that he also gave some of his company shares to Fan Xinman. With a capable lover like this, Zhang Jizhong is not to be outdone, because the filming of some previous TV series has made Zhang Jizhong famous as a producer and has been recognized by many senior people, including Jin Yong.
Because many classic novels were being adapted into films during that period, Jin Yong also received many requests from directors to purchase the copyrights, but he did not agree until he saw "Water Margin" directed by Zhang Jizhong. Jin Yong felt that the filming of this drama was very close to the original work, so he sold the copyright of "Swordsman" to CCTV representative Zhang Jizhong for 1 yuan.
After receiving a good script, Zhang Jizhong immediately started filming "The Swordsman". Although this drama is not as popular and classic as "Water Margin", it still consolidated Zhang Jizhong's reputation.
In 2002, Zhang Jizhong married his girlfriend Fan Xinman, who had been living together for 12 years, and finally got married. Everyone hopes that Zhang Jizhong can live a steady life this time and stop having romantic affairs.
3 The romantic filming scene
During the filming of "Dragon" in the first year after marriage, Zhang Jizhong did not suppress his romantic nature and caused a lot of scandals.
At that time, Fan Xinman was busy with several programs on CCTV and had no time to care about the beautiful actresses her husband met while filming.
Without the constraints of his wife, Zhang Jizhong is even more comfortable. He first chose Liu Tao as the actor of A'Zhu and took great care of her. However, the two never got along as lovers. Zhang Jizhong just borrowed money from her. Appreciation of the actor conceals his love for Liu Tao.
At Liu Tao's fan meeting, Zhang Jizhong, who was filming out of town, rushed to the scene all the way to cheer her on. Fan Xinman had no clue about this matter. After all, at least on the surface, this was just the director's love for the actor. Just caring.
After the filming of this TV series ended, the scandal between Zhang Jizhong and Liu Tao also disappeared with the passage of time. However, the romantic Zhang Jizhong seemed to be unable to escape from the word "scandal". During the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ", he had scandals with several actresses such as Liu Yifei and Chen Zihan.
It was this year that Fan Xinman, who could no longer tolerate Zhang Jizhong's mercy, chose to separate from him. In just four years after their marriage, the two showed signs of breaking up on bad terms.
Two years after their separation, while filming "The Deer and the Cauldron", Zhang Jizhong met He Zhuoyan, who was 37 years older than herself. He Zhuoyan played the role of Shuang'er in the play, and she started her own career as an actor from then on. career.
But not long after the filming of this drama, Zhang Jizhong always brought He Zhuoyan with him to various occasions, so the scandal between the two was frequently picked up by the media.
However, He Zhuoyan did become famous because of her relationship with Zhang Jizhong. After filming a few movies, she directly signed a contract with the big company Huayi. The scandal between the two became more and more bizarre. Later, it was rumored that He Zhuoyan was actually Zhang Jizhong. niece, the matter calmed down.
This year He Zhuoyan and Shu Chang, who played Princess Jianning in "The Deer and the Cauldron", went to Zhang Jizhong's home to visit. Zhang Jizhong also posted a video of the two of them on his social account. He Zhuoyan smiled and expressed his feelings to Zhang Jizhong , speaks and behaves generously, without any trace of being between lovers, but it clarifies the previous scandal.
In 2010, Zhang Jizhong, whose career was at its peak, recognized a godson, Xiao Qi. This young man, who was 24 years younger than him, often worked with him. Over time, he felt that this child was not bad, worthy of training, and had a lot of affection. When they arrive, they consider it as a godfather.
But Zhang Jizhong, who has been separated from his wife Fan Xinman all year round, doesn't know that this time he can be regarded as "leading the wolf into the house." Xiao Qi often visits his godmother at home, and the two of them develop feelings for each other.
At this time, in addition to Yingying Yanyan, whom Zhang Jizhong met while filming, he was also accompanied by Du Xinglin, a beautiful assistant who was 31 years younger than him. After long-term contact, Zhang Jizhong fell drunk and fell in love with the assistant's gentleness.
In 2016, Zhang Jizhong discovered that Fan Xinman and Xiao Qi were together. In anger, Zhang Jizhong found someone to deal with the affair. Later, he wanted to divorce Fan Xinman, but Fan Xinman was unwilling to accept it and wanted to divorce her. Divided the family property with Zhang Jizhong.
The quarrel between the two reached the social platform. The matter once overshadowed the divorce gossip of Wang Baoqiang and Ma Rong. Zhang Jizhong claimed that his wife had "cuckolded" him, cheated on his godson, and transferred his Property, and Fan Xinman was not to be outdone, and directly revealed the big news: Zhang Jizhong had raised a mistress in the United States, and the two had a child.
The so-called mistress was Du Xinglin. Later, Fan Xinman also sent out photos of Du Xinglin and Zhang Jizhong's mansion in the United States, claiming that Zhang Jizhong had assets of 300 million, and also said that Zhang Jizhong moved the couple for the "mistress"*** With property, public opinion was overwhelmingly against Zhang Jizhong.
Not long after, one of the parties involved in the incident, Du Xinglin, spoke out in the United States. She claimed that she had an ordinary working relationship with Zhang Jizhong and that she was just an assistant, not a mistress who ruined other people's marriages.
Not only that, after several confrontations, Du Xinglin also claimed that Fan Xinman was making up stories, and that he did not bother to meet with a "mad woman". But Du Xinglin did have a son at that time, but it was later confirmed that the child was not Zhang Jizhong's. As for who the child's biological father was, no one knew.
The marriage drama between Zhang Jizhong and Fan Xinman lasted until their divorce at the end of 2016. After the divorce, Zhang Jizhong was busy with his career as usual, but Fan Xinman had to leave CCTV to find another way out because of his damaged reputation. Fortunately, Fan Xinman still received a lot of Zhang Jizhong's property during the divorce, which was enough for her future life.
One year after the divorce, Fan Xinman invested in the film and television industry and filmed the martial arts drama "New Knights" which received a mediocre response. However, Zhang Jizhong got married to his rumored girlfriend Du Xinglin.
4 Enjoy your old age with your children around your knees
Zhang Jizhong, who married Du Xinglin in 2017, is almost 66 years old. This is his third marriage.
As he got older, his career stopped and he spent most of his time at home with his beloved wife. After Du Xinglin married Zhang Jizhong, he gave birth to a pair of children. Now they live together with these two children and the son brought by Du Xinglin, and the family of five is enjoying themselves happily.
Perhaps because of his age, Zhang Jizhong did not have any more scandals after his marriage. It seems that this beautiful young wife has won his heart. The two live in a spacious villa and enjoy their family life. happy.
The couple’s youngest daughter was born in 2020, when Zhang Jizhong was already 69 years old.
At that time, Du Xinglin suddenly discovered that she had no milk, and her infant son Dudu had no choice but to stop breastfeeding. Only then did she know that she was pregnant again.
But at that time, their family was still abroad. Affected by the epidemic, Du Xinglin did not return to China with Zhang Jizhong until he was about to give birth.
After returning to China, Du Xinglin was admitted to the hospital when she was about to give birth, which immediately attracted great attention from the media. The topic of Du Xinglin being the "mistress" was raised again, but this time Zhang Jizhong directly showed off the marriage certificates of the two of them, telling the public that this was the wife he was marrying and was not a third party who broke up the marriage.
After clarifying the mistress’s remarks, Du Xinglin received a new wave of attacks. Because there is a 31-year age difference between her and Zhang Jizhong, people have to suspect that she married an old man for money. After all, The two are a generation apart.
Zhang Jizhong and Du Xinglin’s little daughter celebrated her first birthday a few days ago. The two gave their daughter a playful nickname: Xiaohuaxian. In order to celebrate his daughter's birthday, Zhang Jizhong specially invited many friends to his home and took intimate photos with his family.
The little flower fairy was surrounded by her two brothers in a daze, while Du Xinglin looked at the children with a gentle smile. Zhang Jizhong, who now has white hair, looks very happy standing next to his beloved wife and son, but the strange age difference makes it seem like they are three generations apart.
Zhang Jizhong has indeed given Du Xinglin a sense of security in this marriage. In her social account, she either shows off her children or her husband, which is a perfect example of family control. Zhang Jizhong always cooperates with Du Xinglin in filming videos. He always hugs the little flower fairy affectionately, letting the little girl lie on his generous chest, and gently pats his daughter on the back.
In fact, people like Zhang Jizhong have been wandering for most of their lives. When he meets a new beauty, he forgets all about the people in his past. But after he is young and frivolous, he will also seek a bit of stability and yearn for the happiness of having his children around his knees.
After meeting Du Xinglin, Zhang Jizhong stopped having scandals, and he can be considered a prodigal son, but I wonder if he will occasionally feel a little guilty about his first two wives.
In any case, Zhang Jizhong has indeed left a mark in the Chinese film and television industry, and the brilliance he has created cannot be denied. The most important thing in a person's life is to leave some achievements in the field of his work. His ability will never betray himself. Only by studying hard and improving yourself can you overcome difficulties at all levels.
But Zhang Jizhong's personal life is indeed despicable. His love experiences and scandals are also the "black history" that cannot be erased in his life. Zhang Jizhong now occasionally broadcasts live broadcasts on short video platforms with his wife. When he gets excited, he also sells products. He looks very energetic.
I don’t know if Zhang Jizhong will occasionally miss his old friends when he is having sex with his young wife, or if he will also regret that his romantic past has caused irreparable damage to those women. . We can only hope that this romantic director can really turn back his prodigal son, cherish the people in front of him, and stop messing with other people.
