Nearly 40 years ago, an eight-episode TV series called "Wu Song" was born, and once it was broadcast, it was warmly loved by the people of the whole country.
Among them, "Wu Song" played by Zhu Yanping successfully became a well-known actor, and won the "Golden Eagle Award" Best Actor Award for this role, which started his legendary life.
Zhu Yanping once married the well-known actress Zhao Na and had a son. However, the two parted ways after only seven years of marriage.
Zhu Yanping has shown his talent since he was a child and has also made remarkable achievements in the field of art, so it is not surprising that he has succeeded in his career, but his marriage with Zhao Na is a relationship worth regretting.
In 1972, when Zhu Yanping was in his first year of junior high school, his school ushered in the enrollment of the Jinan Peking Opera Troupe. Zhu Yanping did not hesitate to perform Shao Jianbo's singing segment in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and his outstanding performance made him successfully join the Peking Opera Troupe and become a member of it.
As the saying goes, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
After undergoing a vocal change in adolescence, unfortunately, his voice was no longer suitable for singing Peking Opera. After a period of confusion, he decided to change careers and devote himself to the acting industry.
In 1978, he was successfully admitted to the acting department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, which laid a solid foundation for his acting career. When rehearsing dramas in class, he often fought for the role of male lead, which laid a good foundation for his future acting career.
The famous director Que Wen came to the Shanghai Theater Academy in December 1979 to look for actors and prepare for the filming of "The Death of the Marshal". The teacher of the line class at that time recommended him to the director.
At that time, it was recess, and he was playing in the ** class dormitory on the 3rd floor, and the line teacher called him downstairs, and he hurried downstairs. The director was immediately attracted by his masculine temperament.
This movie allows him to meet the actor Zhao Na, who plays the heroine "Wu Tonghua", thus ushering in his first love. As the hero and heroine, the friction and sparks between them are indispensable, and they often get together to discuss the plot, and they spend a lot of time together, which lays the foundation for the relationship between the two in the future.
Zhao Na is from Qingdao, Shandong, and is two years older than Zhu Yanping. She joined the Shandong Repertory Theatre at the age of 20 and stood out for her beauty and outstanding acting skills. By the time they met, she had become the head of Bayi Film Studio.
The girl's physical condition is relatively fragile, and Zhu Yanping always takes care of her carefully, showing a rare care and meticulousness in daily life. In addition, when filming, he often pays attention to the girl's condition, and even pays special attention to her situation when he stays up late, and gives food and drink from time to time.
Zhu Yanping and Zhao Na outside the play ushered in a happy love ending, just like "Wu Tonghua" and "Ma Hong Lake" in the play.
After filming, one of the new lovers returned to the Shanghai Theater Academy to continue their studies, while the other returned to Beijing Bayi Film Studio to work on a new shoot.
Due to the geographical distance, the two could not see each other frequently, and could only convey their affectionate feelings through email.
Soon after, director Ling Zi invited Zhu Yanping to play the actor "Qiu Hu" in the movie "Wilderness", but as soon as Zhu Yanping arrived at the crew, he was too young to show the feeling of "Qiu Hu", and was finally replaced.
This encounter also caused him psychological trauma, but fortunately, he had a mature girlfriend by his side, and although he could only communicate through letters, it gave him great comfort, allowing him to face life again, continue his studies, and improve his abilities.
Therefore, when he was initially invited to play "Wu Song", he was reluctant, fearing that his performance was not superb enough and he might be replaced by someone else halfway. Later, the director asked his girlfriend and school leaders to help persuade him.
Eventually, under the persuasion of his girlfriend, he reluctantly agreed to give it a try. Eventually, the TV series made him a household name.
He graduated from college in June 1982, and he had the opportunity to reunite with his girlfriend in Beijing, but somehow someone snatched his spot. At this time, Emei Film Studio came to the theater to select graduates, and luckily made him one of them.
They married in October 1982, but one is in Chengdu and the other is in Beijing, and the newlyweds often find it difficult to get together. Even when Zhao Na was giving birth, he only accompanied him for three days before leaving to go to the crew.
Although they were both in Beijing later, the chores of life and the care of their children increased, making marriage no longer a source of happiness for them, but a shackle that constrained their freedom and happiness.
They divorced in the autumn of 1989, ending a seven-year marriage. Zhu Yanping disappeared from the audience's sight after completing the movie "Old Lady Land" in 1992, and did not film again for a long time.
A few years later, he reappeared on the screen, and successively participated in film and television dramas such as "Detective Di Renjie", "The Story of Xinlu Ding", "Dearest", although it did not cause a sensation like "Wu Song" again, but these works are also quite good.
Unlike his previous public marriage, he and his current wife live a low-key life, respecting and protecting her so that she can enjoy happiness in his life. He has never blamed his ex-spouse and their children and has kept in touch and is willing to take care of their children.
In 2018, at the age of 60, he became obsessed with golf and went on to win the All-Star Golf Annual Finals several times. And in April 2022, the movie "Flowers Are Blooming" starring Zhu Yanping will be released nationwide and has received unanimous praise.
Now he is 64 years old, still burly and straight, with a straight waist and strong spirits, and he is looking forward to bringing more outstanding works to the audience.
After the divorce, Zhao Na quit her job at Bayi Film Studio, returned to her hometown of Qingdao with her son, and started a beer business, but was deceived. After spending a gloomy time, she finally found a new partner, Du Zhiguo, and ushered in a new life.
However, Du Zhiguo's son Du Chun did not accept her, and continued to use cynicism and-for-tat attitude, which made Zhao Na feel like a knife. In the end, the relationship only lasted two years.
She no longer mentions her feelings, and only hopes that her son will be happy in the future. Now, it has been 33 years since they divorced, and the once peerless golden boy and girl in the entertainment industry, now only their son is the only remaining link between them, this change is really regrettable.
