He Zhengjun, 61 years old this year, can be described as a model figure in the entertainment industry. This national first-class actor who has never had any scandals for more than 30 years after his debut, his name may not be familiar to the younger generation today, but his face full of righteousness can be remembered at once.
Back then, there was an ambiguous relationship between him and Gong Li, and the intimacy between the two made people mistakenly think they were a pair of lovers.
However, more than 30 years have passed, when we see who He Zhengjun's wife is, we naturally understand why he rejected Gong Li back then.
When He Zhengjun was at the Central Academy of Drama, he attracted the attention of countless girls with his delicate appearance and literary temperament, including Gong Li, who later became an international superstar.
When Gong Li was in school, he launched a protracted "pull" against He Zhengjun, and the two were often tired of shopping and watching movies together. It's a pity that He Zhengjun is as "wooden" as a piece of wood, and he has never captured Gong Li's hints and intentions.
It wasn't until Gong Li left school to go to the countryside for an internship that He Zhengjun realized that he had missed a beautiful marriage.
In the end, the two were still shallow in fate, and they were not able to be together in the end, and later Gong Li became an instant hit when she filmed "Red Sorghum" and became a household name, and the red line between the two was completely broken.
For two people, although this seemingly regrettable relationship, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
He Zhengjun's introverted personality does not match Gong Li's strong personality, and if they are really together, they are likely to become a couple who dislike each other. Therefore, perhaps the best arrangement is for them to forget about each other and never cross paths again.
He Zhengjun missed Gong Li, so he devoted all his energy to his studies. His horizons have broadened and his understanding of knowledge has deepened. In the acting course, his acting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he frequently received the highest scores.
After graduating, He Zhengjun entered the Shanghai People's Art Theater and began his drama career.
In 1990, He Zhengjun went to Yunnan to film. At this time, he has been graduating for four years, but he is still spinning in the dragon trap. Looking at the career without progress and the success of his classmates, his heart was full of bitterness, and he couldn't help but regret being an actor.
In this most depressed situation, he met his first love Fan Yu.
And Fan Yu and Gong Li are completely two types of girls, one is gentle and cares for the family and the other is domineering and independent, so He Zhengjun, who has some machismo in his bones, launched a bold pursuit for the girl who was just as excited this time.
During this period, the relationship between the two became closer and closer, and He Zhengjun waited until the crew was finished, he could no longer hide his intentions and bravely confessed to each other.
After that, the busyness of work did not make their feelings unfamiliar, but more intense. In 1992, the two officially entered into marriage. Soon after marriage, she gave birth to a daughter. But at this time, He Zhengjun. But the career did not go well.
He finds himself trapped in the role of "soldier", and although Fan Yu supports him, he gradually feels unable to break through the limitations of this positioning.
Fan Yu's words made him re-examine himself: "If you take on such a scene again, will there be a breakthrough in the future?" So, He Zhengjun decided to let go of his baggage, bravely try other types of roles, and challenge himself again.
In 1998, he successfully won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor with his superb acting skills in the movie "National Anthem". His career is booming, but he is getting busier and busier, and he gradually neglects his family.
In 2004, the director handed the script of "Bright Sword" to He Zhengjun, who was very satisfied with the script, but the role he gave him was not "political commissar".
After watching this drama, he didn't want to take on the role assigned to him by the director, but wanted to play Zhao Gang. But at that time, "Zhao Gang" had already set the actors, and they couldn't be changed at will.
But He Zhengjun insisted on playing Zhao Gang, for which he would rather have zero pay. The director is a little strange, why does He Zhengjun have such a big obsession with Political Commissar Zhao?
In fact, this is because the prototype of "Political Commissar Zhao" came from the 129th Division, and his father He Shaokuan also served in the 129th Division, and was also a reconnaissance company commander of the 129th Division.
He Zhengjun told the director that he saw some scenes in the script, which his father had stayed in back then, and the role of "Political Commissar Zhao" still overlapped with his father's experience.
The director, who learned the truth, immediately decided that He Zhengjun would play the role of "Political Commissar Zhao Gang". even did not hesitate to offend the previously decided candidate for Zhao Gang's actor.
In the play, the role of political commissar Zhao and Li Yunlong have gone through twists and turns under the interpretation of He Zhengjun, but they have always lived in harmony. He became famous with this drama and became a well-known screen image. His superb performance has won wide praise from the audience and won the honor of "National First-Class Actor".
But since 2007, with the advent of the traffic era, there have been fewer and fewer people looking for him to act, and only one drama will come to the door in a year or two.
With superb acting skills, he sat on a "cold bench" in the entertainment industry just because he did not participate in variety shows to market himself and was not sought after by fans.
However, He Zhengjun doesn't think so, he has worked hard for most of his life, although he is in the entertainment industry, he still misses his family in his heart, and the zero scandal after his debut is proof.
This is not only because He Zhengjun is willing to let the public know him because of his acting skills, but also because of his loyalty to Fan Yu, who has been silently paying behind him.
Now He Zhengjun is taking on fewer and fewer dramas, and he has begun to pay more attention to his family, and he has such a rule in acting: he will not take plays during the summer vacation, because he has to accompany his daughter and wife.
Fan Yu's dedication has always been in his eyes and warmed in his heart.
The romance of straight men is never in words, but in action.
At He Zhengjun's house, his advice to Fan Yu has been posted on the refrigerator: "You must go to bed before 12 o'clock at night, eat regularly, be full, eat whatever you want, and don't be afraid of gaining weight...... As long as he is at home, He Zhengjun will personally supervise Fan Yu to complete it.
