After a divorce, everyone generally thinks that the best outcome is to go their separate ways and never get along.
But in the entertainment industry, some intriguing phenomena often emerge. Take the two examples of Li Xiaolu and Jia Nailiang going on vacation together after their divorce, and Li Xiang and Wang Yuelun shopping with their children, which are quite ridiculous.
However, there is nothing more striking than the couples who can still work together to create a business after the divorce. Typical examples are Tong Liya and Chen Sicheng. Although after Chen Sicheng and Tong Liya divorced, the frequency of their interactions plummeted, which is almost rare, but recently the two have frequently appeared on hot searches, which has attracted widespread attention. Why is that?
According to a financial ** report, Tong Liya actually became a shareholder of Chen Sicheng's company, OneTong Xingcheng (Tianjin), with a shareholding ratio of 5%. At the same time, Chen Shengqi (Chen Sicheng's father) also took a stake in the company, holding 10% of the shares. The company was founded in 2019, and its largest shareholder is Chen Sicheng himself.
It is worth mentioning that, according to an app, the target of the company's foreign investment is Chen Sicheng's other company, Beijing Yitong Legendary Film and Television Culture
Many of the films directed by Chen Sicheng that we are familiar with, such as this year's most popular "Disappearing Her", are produced by this company. In other words, in the future, Tong Liya will share 5% of the profits from the movies made by Chen Sicheng through these two companies.
This news undoubtedly surprised many people, because everyone has always thought that Tong Liya is a full love brain, and even a little silly and sweet. However, looking back, it turns out that Tong Liya has always been the big heroine in this marriage scene, but she cleverly used her weak appearance to hide her ambitions well. It's no wonder that the public mistakenly thinks she's a love brain.
From the beginning, the story of Chen Sicheng and Tong Liya looks like two parallel lines that can never intersect.
Chen Sicheng, as the second generation of the film and television industry, his father is a director and has a superior family background. Chen Sicheng inherited his father's artistic talent and was good at acting and singing, but he did not excel in his studies. Therefore, he decided to become an entertainer and achieved some success in college thanks to his family background. Originally, Chen Sicheng debuted as a singer and was still Wang Feng's junior brother.
Over time, Chen Sicheng turned to the entertainment industry and participated in several less spectacular plays. In terms of relationships, he has experienced several short and changeable romances, as he has a reputation for seeing one and loving the other. Because he couldn't find a suitable drama appointment, Chen Sicheng felt helpless, so he began to get involved in script writing.
It was through a script that Chen Sicheng met his future wife, Tong Liya. Unlike Chen Sicheng, Tong Liya's family environment is not wealthy, but the most important thing is her father's conservative education concept, which has always instilled the outdated idea of male superiority and female inferiority, resulting in her always playing a humble role in love and marriage.
The fate of the two began with the casting of "Beijing Love Story". Perhaps it was impulsive love at first sight, Chen Sicheng chose Tong Liya to play the heroine in his play at first sight. Of course, as an actor, in the face of the heroine sent to the door, how can there be a reason not to act?Unexpectedly, this drama became an opportunity for the two to come together.
Of course, the understanding in the past few months has given Tong Liya an insight into the true side of Chen Sicheng. Her choice is not to let go easily, but to assert to the world that she is in charge of the relationship.
Back in 2012, on the program "Happy Camp", Tong Liya unexpectedly announced her relationship with Chen Sicheng. Chen Sicheng next to him looked surprised, and it could be seen from his expression that he was unwilling to admit this relationship.
So, why did Chen Sicheng willingly enter the palace of marriage?This may be due to Tong Liya's high popularity in the entertainment industry, which gives him more ** and popularity. After the broadcast of "Northern Love", Chen Sicheng was nicknamed a representative of rustic style because of his appearance, and he was destined not to achieve much success among male stars in the entertainment industry. On the contrary, Tong Liya has become one of the quasi-top actresses with her outstanding beauty and the blessing of Shen Bing's filter.
With the popularity of "Northern Love", Chen Sicheng keenly grasped business opportunities and decided to direct the film of the same name. In recent years, the youth love series of movies has been hot in the market, and at this time, Chen Sicheng hopes to keep the heroine Tong Liya the most.
During the release of the movie in 2014, the two held a wedding, and in 2016, Tong Liya ushered in the birth of their son Duoduo. The success of the film means that Chen Sicheng has successfully transformed from an artist to a capital tycoon.
Although the TV series "Beijing Love Story" was written, directed and acted by Chen Sicheng, this change marks that he is no longer just an artist, but has successfully stepped into the role of a capital tycoon.
However, behind the successful drama version is the tacit support of media companies, and Xinli and LeTV have played a key role.
At that time, Chen Sicheng was just a director and artist who was restricted, and he was obviously not satisfied with this. Filmmaking is different, and Xinli and LeEco obviously don't have a deep understanding of this field, which led to the two media companies naturally withdrawing from the cooperation.
So, Chen Sicheng and Wanda worked together to establish HiAsia Film and Television, and began to shoot the film version of "Northern Love". This move marked Chen Sicheng's first charge on the big screen, and Tong Liya also responded to the situation and achieved a good story of a woman with a husband.
Subsequently, the domestic film and television industry changed, romantic dramas gradually fell out of favor, and suspense dramas emerged. Chen Sicheng made timely adjustments and once again directed the self-written movie "Detective Chinatown". The reversal at the end of the film is refreshing, and Chen Sicheng has a counterattack in the industry.
However, at the same time, the negative side of Chen Sicheng was also exposed. This did not happen overnight, as early as in a series of previous acts, Chen Sicheng's true face has already been revealed.
For example, in an interview, Chen Sicheng talked about the "gene theory" and questioned the monogamy system, which is enough to show that his relationship with Tong Liya has long been indifferent. And Tong Liya was educated by her father who was inferior to men and women since she was a child, and when she grew up, she was psychologically abused by her husband for a long time.
When faced with the question of "which is more terrible, mental derailment or physical derailment", Tong Liya subconsciously replied: "Just go home." However, she may not realize that it was these four words that gave Chen Sicheng enough courage to be ** in the lace news in the entertainment industry for a long time.
hurt again and again, humility can't be exchanged for true love, Tong Liya seems to have figured out this truth. She no longer put up with such a marriage and made a decisive change. cut his hair short and announced through Weibo: He and Chen Sicheng ended this ridiculous marriage.
Interestingly, long before getting married, Tong Liya made it clear that Chen Sicheng was not reliable. Still, why did she choose to marry him in the end?The reason is not far from those four words: profitable. When I met Chen Sicheng, although he was not very famous, he was already one of the shareholders of "Huayi". Tong Liya aspires to become the first echelon of female artists, so she needs an influential supporter, and Chen Sicheng seems to be the most suitable candidate.
With her appearance in the movie version of "Northern Love", Tong Liya's career has skyrocketed, becoming the heroine of dramas such as "The Woman of the Swordsman Family" and "Love Never Forgets". Even Tsui Hark personally invited her to star in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" and played the role of the little white pigeon in the film. Of course, the salary has also risen, dozens or hundreds of times higher than before she got married. In 2015, she was listed on the "China Forbes Celebrity List" with an annual income of 25 million.
From obscurity to female billionaire, the only gap is Chen Sicheng. When Chen Sicheng meets other female friends at night, Tong Liya is always the first to stand up for her husband. However, this caused more netizens to be disgusted, thinking that she had endured a lot of pain in her marriage.
After the divorce, Tong Liya began to move towards the road of the heroine, first hosting the Spring Festival Gala, and then participating in the filming of several big dramas. However, all of these works have been criticized for her acting skills. All this makes people think more about her marriage and career changes.
The so-called "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" may be just that.
Chen Sicheng seems to have ushered in a higher peak in his career after the divorce. He put forward an idea to make "Detective Chinatown" a series and become a big IP similar to "Marvel". At the same time, in the first half of this year, the movie "She Who Disappeared" directed by Chen Sicheng attracted widespread attention and discussion in the film industry.
In the face of fluctuating word-of-mouth, Tong Liya chose to invest in Chen Sicheng's company, showing her ambition in her career. Someone saw through her ambitions, after all, almost all artists eventually aspire to be part of the capital. Tong Liya is no exception. She would rather work with someone she knows better than invest in someone else. As Chen Sicheng's family member for many years, Tong Liya should have a deeper understanding of the reliability of investment.
Judging from Tong Liya's upcoming works "Three Teams", "Visitors on the Iceberg" and "The Wandering Earth III", her resource allocation is also quite good. This kind of cooperation is even more reasonable for the two, just like the marriage many years ago, which is closely interested**.
Of course, whether it is Tong Liya's ambition or Chen Sicheng's initiative to carry out interests**, all this reflects a truth. As a classic line in Han Han's "Regret Without End" movie said many years ago: "Children distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only look at the pros and cons." After the divorce, Tong Liya gradually understood this.
