Chen Guojun was born in Jilin, northeast China, a land that has given birth to unique art forms such as the two-person turn, and has a strong cultural atmosphere. His father was a literary soldier, and this special profession planted the seeds of art for the young Chen Guojun.
Whenever his father was working, Xiao Chen Guojun always followed left and right with great interest, and his big eyes flashed with curiosity. He liked to watch his father's rehearsals and try to imitate them, and gradually he became more and more like.
At the age of 9, by chance, Chen Guojun stepped onto the first stage of his life. When his father was rehearsing the drama "Blood Stains", there happened to be a lack of a young actor, so Chen Guojun unexpectedly stepped into the showbiz.
The lighting on the stage and the applause of the audience made this ignorant child excited, as if he had found the direction of his life. The applause at the curtain call intoxicated him, and this experience made him more and more determined to be an actor.
However, reality is often not as simple as childhood dreams. In the following years, under the influence of the times, Chen Guojun was arranged to go to the countryside and gradually distanced himself from the stage. He even thought that he was insulated from his dream of being an actor in his life.
After graduating from high school, under the influence of his father, he chose to become a soldier. Chen Guojun had a strong learning ability and soon excelled in the army and became a backbone. It wasn't until he was 23 years old that the god of fate favored him again.
In 1975, when Chen Guojun was buying toothpaste on the street, he happened to meet Wang Xiucai, an actor from Changchun Studio. Wang Xiucai took a fancy to Chen Guojun's appearance at a glance and asked him if he had considered being an actor.
This sentence reawakened Chen Guojun's long-dusted dream of being an actor. He could barely contain the excitement in his heart, and agreed without hesitation. With the help of Wang Xiucai, Chen Guojun was successfully admitted to Changchun Studio, officially embarked on the road of actor, and started his wonderful acting career.
In Changchun Studio, Chen Guojun not only found the starting point of his career, but also met his first love. Zhao Yamin, a girl three years younger than Chen Guojun, also had a love for acting and was admitted to Changchun Studio in 1975.
Zhao Yamin's exam road was not easy, the exam room was far away from where she was, but she successfully passed the exam with her passion for acting. The two soon met during the filming of "Fengyun Island".
Interestingly, in this play, Chen Guojun plays the male lead, while Zhao Yamin is just a trick with almost no lines. This disparity in roles seemed to indicate the future direction of their relationship, but the two at the time were in love and quickly fell in love.
In 1979, Chen Guojun and Zhao Yamin participated in a group wedding organized by the film studio and started their married life. The following year, their son Chen He was born, bringing more joy to the small family.
In order to wholeheartedly support her husband's career, Zhao Yamin took the initiative to give up her acting dream, silently paid behind her back, and became a housewife wholeheartedly. In this seemingly peaceful life, Chen Guojun's acting career ushered in a turning point.
After entering Changchun Studio, he successively starred in works such as "Sword and Tiger Shadow", "Bloody China", "Big and Small", and gradually emerged in the industry with his superb acting skills and became a well-known actor at that time.
In 1980, he played the role of Xia Yu in the film "Medicine" adapted from Lu Xun's novel. Perhaps it was his experience in the army that gave him a special temperament, and Chen Guojun interpreted this role very vividly.
After the movie aired, he became an instant hit and became a hot new star, and he began to be surrounded by flowers and applause. However, fame comes not only with accolades, but also with the loss that comes with it.
Chen Guojun began to indulge in Vanity Fair, and his inner desire gradually swelled. This change also laid hidden dangers for his future love life. At the same time, Zhao Yamin went out in order to shoot a movie, and handed over the child to his grandparents to take care of, leaving Chen Guojun alone in the whole family.
In this case, he is about to usher in another important turning point in his life. In 1995, Chen Guojun's life ushered in an important turning point. During the filming of the movie "Deep in the Heart", he met Liu Xiaoqing, who was already famous.
Liu Xiaoqing has already participated in many works at this time, and also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, and his strength and fame should not be underestimated. However, when he first met Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Guojun was actually a little disappointed.
Her appearance is not stunning, and her hair is not so jet-black. However, Liu Xiaoqing's unique temperament made Chen Guojun can't help but take a few more looks. Similarly, Liu Xiaoqing was also attracted by this tall and upright young man, and secretly promised to himself.
With the increase of rival scenes, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up. On an ordinary night, Liu Xiaoqing expressed her uneasiness to Chen Guojun: "There are many trees in the guest house at night, and I am a little scared.
This seemingly ordinary sentence became the fuse for the relationship between the two to heat up. Chen Guojun was caught in a deep contradiction. On the one hand, he already has a wife and children; On the other hand, Liu Xiaoqing's charm makes him irresistible.
To complicate matters further, Liu Xiaoqing himself is still entangled in his last marriage. After some struggle, he still took that step and came together with Liu Xiaoqing. This decision exploded like a bombshell in Chen Guojun's life.
He filed for divorce from Zhao Yamin, which plunged his wife, who had been silently supporting him, into great pain. Zhao Yamin couldn't understand that she was just on a business trip, why did her husband empathize and say goodbye.
This incident caused an uproar in Changchun Studios. The leaders of the unit came forward to persuade Chen Guojun, hoping that he would not make an impulsive decision because of a momentary mistake.
However, Chen Guojun was like a stubborn cow, ignoring their persuasion. Even his parents didn't change his mind. After several years of tug-of-war, the exhausted Zhao Yamin finally agreed to the divorce.
Even if she used her son as a bargaining chip, she couldn't save her husband's heart, and she didn't want to continue to entangle. On the day of the divorce, both were in tears. Chen Guojun's heart was full of guilt, he knew that he had failed his wife and son, but the power of love made him unable to turn back.
The cost of the relationship is enormous. Chen's reputation has been severely affected, and many directors are reluctant to use him anymore. Forced, he left Changchun Film Studio and transformed into a director.
Despite this, the relationship between him and Liu Xiaoqing became more and more intense, and the two also collaborated on the filming of "Ruthless Lover", which achieved a good response. In 1986, with the broadcast of "Ruthless Lover", the two entered the palace of marriage.
Chen Guojun, who lost his identity as an actor, did not give up his artistic dream. Faced with the low point of his career, he decided to start afresh and set his sights on the field of directing.
In order to better master the directing skills, he entered the Beijing Film Academy to study directing, and systematically studied all aspects of film production. During this period, Chen Guojun was hungry for knowledge and worked hard to improve his professional ability.
His diligence and talent soon paid off, and he began to try his hand at directing his own work. Among them, "Ruthless Lover" is a work he collaborated with Liu Xiaoqing, which caused a lot of repercussions at the time, and also gave Chen Guojun more confidence in his directing ability.
However, married life did not go his way. Chen Guojun and Liu Xiaoqing's marriage lasted only two years before it came to an end. There are different opinions about the reason why the two broke up, some people say that it is because of Jiang Wen's involvement, and some people say that it is Chen Guojun's domestic violence.
But both chose to remain silent, and even reached a gentleman's agreement, agreeing not to talk about the past after the divorce. Despite this, Liu Xiaoqing does not seem to have fully complied with the agreement, mentioning the past of the two in her autobiography, which has caused Chen Guojun's displeasure.
It happened that Chen Guojun suffered a financial loss while filming the film, and he decided to write a book about the two to make up for the loss. Although the book sold well, it also attracted a strong backlash from Liu Xiaoqing's fans, and the two even went to court in the end.
Afterwards, Chen Guojun deeply regretted this, but the relationship between the two has completely cooled, and this cold is 18 years. Despite the twists and turns in his love life, Chen Guojun's directing career is developing steadily.
He successively launched works such as "The Woman Who Waded the Man's River" and "Drifting Snow", and gradually gained a firm foothold in the director world. However, what really made Chen Guojun famous in the directorial circle was his 2009 work "On the Songhua River".
In order to make this movie well, he led the crew to shoot in the cold Heilongjiang, and often didn't care about eating, and the food was frozen. This dedication and dedication to art made him lose 10 pounds in just a few months.
But these efforts are worth it, and "On the Songhua River" caused a sensation as soon as it was broadcast, winning more praise for Chen Guojun and establishing his status in the directorial world. In 1998, when the 45-year-old Chen Guojun was serving as a judge for the acting students of the Beijing Film Academy, he met 29-year-old Fu Liyun.
This young and beautiful girl immediately attracted Chen Guojun's attention. Despite the age difference of 16 years, Chen Guojun still launched a passionate pursuit of Fu Liyun. Chen Guojun spared no effort to show favor to Fu Liyun, frequently gave gifts, and invited her to participate in his own movies many times.
Under Chen Guojun's sincere and enthusiastic offensive, Fu Liyun was gradually moved by him. However, Fu Liyun's parents are not optimistic about this relationship with a large age gap. They couldn't understand why their daughter would fall in love with a man 16 years older than her.
But at the insistence of their daughter, they finally accepted this prospective son-in-law. In 2002, Chen Guojun and Fu Liyun officially entered the palace of marriage. Three years later, 52-year-old Chen Guojun became a father again, and the birth of his son Chen Yonglin brought infinite joy to the family.
In order to take care of the family, Fu Liyun gradually gave up her job and concentrated on being a full-time mother. Compared with Chen Guojun's ex-wife Zhao Yamin, Fu Liyun is obviously more lucky.
Today, Chen Guojun is 69 years old, and his son Chen Yonglin is 17 years old. This family life is warm and happy, and Chen Guojun finally found a home in life. He devoted more energy to family life to make up for the debt he owed to his family when he was younger.
In his career, Chen Guojun still maintains his love for movies and creative passion. He continued to direct new works, while also beginning to nurture and support the next generation of filmmakers, including his own son, Chen He.
It is worth mentioning that Fu Liyun not only became a good partner in Chen Guojun's life, but also became a good stepmother for Chen He. She didn't have any other thoughts about this stepson, but always took care of him very seriously.
Under Fu Liyun's careful management, the relationship between the family has become harmonious and harmonious. This marriage seems to make up for the regrets of Chen Guojun's first two relationships. He found true family warmth and continued to be passionate and creative in his career.
Chen Guojun's later life presents a picture of happiness and contentment, which makes people sigh that life is complete after all. In Chen Guojun's complex emotional experience, the one who made him feel indebted the most was his eldest son Chen He.
The decision to divorce in order to pursue Liu Xiaoqing made the young Chen He lose his complete family. This guilt has always haunted Chen Guojun's heart and has become the biggest regret in his heart.
Perhaps influenced by his father, Chen He also chose to become a director. Chen Guojun is very supportive of his son's choice and spares no effort to help him develop his directing career.
With the help of his father, Chen He successively directed works such as "On the Songhua River", "Qianlong Road", "High-speed Rail Testimony", and gradually gained a firm foothold in the film and television industry. This may be a way for Chen Guojun to make up for his son, to express his apology and love through career support.
In 2015, an unexpected opportunity allowed Chen Guojun to reunite with Liu Xiaoqing in a show. 18 years have passed, and the grievances of the past seem to have faded. In the show, Chen Guojun expressed his belated apologies to Liu Xiaoqing for many years and resolved the past disputes.
This scene seems to be an end to Chen Guojun's life, allowing him to face the past more calmly and cherish the happy life of the present. Today's Chen Guojun has not only made achievements in his career, but more importantly, he has repaired his relationship with his son and established a harmonious family.
This father-son relationship witnessed Chen Guojun's growth and change, and also drew a successful end to his life.
