I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Who is Gu Changwei's wife?
Jiang Wenli.

This is a recognized powerhouse actress who won numerous important awards in her early years, including the Feitian Award, the Golden Eagle Award, and the Golden Rooster Award, for her works such as "Holding Hands," "The Grand Mansion Gate," and "Chinese-Style Divorce."

Back then, she had solid acting skills and a strong ability to create characters. Whether it was a gentle wife or a shrewish woman, she could portray them vividly and was especially loved by the audience.

The meeting between Jiang Wenli and Gu Changwei was purely coincidental. It happened at a party in 1989, and fate magically brought them together.

The two got along very well at the party, discussing both career and life; they found common ground and enjoyed each other's company.

Factory Director Gu was nine years older than Jiang Wenli, but he took good care of her.

Whether it's a difficult problem at work or something in life, he will patiently accompany you and carefully guide you.

Jiang Wenli was also moved by his talent and warmth, and gradually let down her guard and got together with him.

The two got married in 1993.

After marriage, the two supported each other and worked hard together. Jiang Wenli took advantage of Gu Changwei's resources to film many excellent scripts, and her career gradually rose. She slowly emerged and became a film queen.

With Jiang Wenli's help, Gu Changwei gradually began to switch careers and become a director. In 2005, his first film, "Peacock," was released and won the Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival, marking a successful transition.

For a time, the two became a model couple in the entertainment industry.

No one expected that this seemingly impeccable marriage would eventually be turned upside down by some scandals and gradually fall apart.

Regarding this scandal, we need to talk about another female lead, Zhang Jingchu.

This guy is no pushover.

In 2005, Zhang Jing played the female lead in the film "Peacock," which made her an instant star, transforming her from a minor supporting role into a rising star in the industry.

As the movie became a huge hit, rumors began to circulate about an affair between Gu Changwei and Zhang Jingchu, and the entire entertainment industry was gossiping about it.

During filming, Director Gu took special care of Zhang Jing, not only personally guiding her acting and helping her improve her performance, but also often eating and shopping with her. The two had an extremely close relationship.

When Jiang Wenli found out, she was very unhappy and even found other wives of celebrities in the industry to work together to blacklist Zhang Jingchu.

Because of this incident, many of Zhang Jing's publicity plans were put on hold, and her career development temporarily went astray.

When Gu Changwei was filming "Li Chun", Zhang Jingchu's role was not originally in the script, but he insisted on adding a role for her.

It's quite obvious that his view of Zhang Jing is different from others, and his attitude towards her is also different.

In March 2009, paparazzi photographed Gu Changwei driving a black Mercedes-Benz with a young woman into a secluded alley.

After this incident was exposed, it caused a huge public outcry.

Cheng Sheng had to admit that some people might be ugly, but they were talented!
Moreover, there is a phenomenon in the entertainment industry that many beautiful female stars choose to marry ordinary-looking directors or wealthy men with average appearances.

This perfectly illustrates the idiom "a talented man and a beautiful woman".

Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli are a case in point.

Gu Changwei was admitted to the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy in 1978.

In 1993, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for his film "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige, and was also named one of the "100 Outstanding Cinematographers of the Century".

In 2004, she directed her first film, *Peacock*, which won the Silver Bear Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival. In 2007, her second film, *Springtime*, was selected for the competition section of the Rome Film Festival, and actress Jiang Wenli won the Best Actress award for her outstanding performance.

In 2011, his third directorial work, "Love for Life," won the Best Director Award at the Shanghai Film Critics Awards, and starred Zhang Ziyi, who won the Best Actress Award at the Shanghai Film Critics Awards. Aaron Kwok also received his first Golden Rooster Award nomination.

In 2012, he directed his first micro-film, "Dragon Head," which was released on Youku Master Micro-Film.

In April 2013, he served as one of the seven juries at the Kyoto International Film Festival, selecting fifteen films for the competition.

It can be said that Gu Changwei's films are excellent in terms of both box office and awards.

Jiang Wenli was a top-tier female star in mainland China at the time.

Therefore, their marriage is the best example of a perfect match.

Besides these two, there are also Feng Dapao and Xu Fan, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, Zhang Guoshi and Yang Ting.

These three are among the top three directors in China, and they are all representatives of handsome men and beautiful women.

It's clear that female celebrities don't choose partners based on looks, but rather on whether the director can help them advance their careers.

Cheng Sheng also approved of Xing Aina's investment in Gu Changwei's film, even though she had a chaotic private life, she was talented.

As long as it helps the company make money, Cheng Sheng doesn't care about those rumors; making money is more important than anything else.

What Cheng Sheng was curious about was why Gu Changwei had brought Zhang Jing here. Wasn't this guy afraid of Jiang Wenli finding out?
You should know that the female lead in the movie "Li Chun" is Jiang Wenli, so why is he bringing Zhang Jingchu with him?

Cheng Sheng knew that Zhang Jing was no simple woman; she was very good at handling things.

Of course, this wasn't him belittling Zhang Jingchu; in fact, he even admired her a little.

"If it helps promote the movie, feel free to say whatever you want. As long as it grabs people's attention, then consider it a contribution."

These words were spoken by Zhang Jingchu. Although the words were 'humble,' considering the situation Zhang Jingchu was in at the time, one can understand how difficult it was for her to say those words.

In the entertainment industry, an actor's path to fame is never smooth sailing.

Some people reach the top through talent and hard work, while others resort to any means for personal gain and pay a heavy price.

Zhang Jing was jokingly called a "director harvester" because she was once very successful in pursuing her dreams, but she also paid a high price.

Speaking of which, Zhang Jing could be considered Cheng Sheng's senior.

Zhang Jing entered the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama at the age of 17. Her beauty and intelligence immediately made her a "great beauty" in the department.

With her beauty and strong social skills, Zhang Jing quickly made many male friends and gained many advantages.

For a country girl who climbed trees in the mountains and stubbornly wanted to make her way in Kyoto, she had indeed achieved great success.

Regardless of the methods she used, she lived a better life than most people.

In this respect, Cheng Sheng greatly admired her.

Cheng Sheng finished his work in the office and then planned to go back.

Just as he reached the company entrance, a figure rushed over from the side and bowed respectfully to Cheng Sheng, saying, "Hello, Director Cheng, it's such an honor to meet you." (End of Chapter)
