Her outstanding performance made Gong Li the queen of that site!
She was known as the "Gong Huang" and despite the controversy, she never lacked attention.
Her status in the Chinese film industry cannot be shaken by labels such as "chaotic private life" and "large scale of acting", which is enough to prove that she has appeared on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival 18 times.
Although Gong Li always proclaims her patriotism, her identity has always been difficult to figure out.
In April, Gong Li appeared after a long absence, and unexpectedly appeared on Macron's special plane in France, and appeared with her French husband Michelle.
Gong Li has been plagued by controversy over her Singaporean nationality, and this move has made netizens even more suspicious of her identity.
Her identity and methods to accompany France** on her visit to China also raise suspicions.
has to start with the legendary life of actress Gong Li.
In 1987, a collaboration between Gong Li and Zhang Yimou made them quickly enter the film industry.
Although she was a drama student at the time, Gong Li was not well known in the entertainment industry.
And Zhang Yimou is in the same situation, he only made a few movies at that time, and his fame is still very limited.
However, after they collaborated on the film "Red Sorghum", which has been hailed as a "masterpiece", they started their own era.
Gong Li starred in "Red Sorghum" when she was young, and the success of this film put her on the international stage.
In the film, she wears a "Hunan girl costume" and walks through the mountain trails lively, a scene that brings the beauty of China to the world stage.
Since then, Gong Li has often attended the Cannes Film Festival.
This is an unparalleled stage for global art practitioners, but in the entertainment industry, it is only a stage for competition.
Compete to show off your beautiful faces, compete to show off gorgeous clothes and expensive clothes, and have a unique style of dressing.
They waved their arms, threw flying kisses, and even pretended to fall, all just to catch the audience's attention and stay on the red carpet for a few more seconds.
However, Gong Li never took this matter to heart. Every time she walks on the red carpet, she is probably the most plainly dressed.
Gong Li is well aware that Cannes was originally a platform for the world to exchange art, rather than a venue that is now considered to be a "betrayal of hue".
As long as a person's aura is strong enough and his strength is excellent, he will always attract everyone's attention.
Gong Li walked on the red carpet in Cannes, not only to show herself, but also to represent the image of Chinese films.
Every time Gong Li participates in an event, she can win glory for China with her works.
Red Sorghum, Hang the Red Lantern High and Farewell My Concubine – these works show the "beauty of China" from different perspectives, and they are all being screened for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival.
With the work "Farewell My Concubine", Gong Li not only brought these works to the international stage, but also won the first Best Actress Award in the Chinese film industry at the Cannes Film Festival.
Despite such brilliant achievements, it also failed to reach Gong Li's peak performance. In 1997, Gong Li not only attracted attention as a red carpet actress, but also successfully transformed into a judge of the Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first Chinese judge in history.
Despite this admirable achievement, Gong Li is not complacent because of this, on the contrary, she has always hoped to contribute to the Chinese film industry.
Gong Li's career is smooth sailing, but her relationship has suffered many twists and turns, which is exactly the truth that there are gains and losses.
The two became acquainted with Zhang Yimou because of their cooperation with Zhang Yimou in 1987, and then worked together frequently, and gradually their relationship became delicate.
Although the age difference between the two is more than ten years, the affection between them has long transcended the age limit.
The cooperation between this female star and the big director can be said to be seamless.
Zhang Yimou had already formed a family at that time, but this did not affect his relationship with Gong Li. In order to be able to be with Gong Li legally, he did not hesitate to abandon his wife.
After the two divorced, they made their relationship public. At the time, the incident caused a stir throughout the entertainment world.
After going through some difficulties, they finally came together.
During the time they got along, netizens had good and bad evaluations of Gong Li, but Gong Li didn't care, because at that time she thought that love was bigger than the sky.
This pair of popular actresses and well-known directors have been together for 8 years, and during this time, they are also quite happy and sweet.
However, Gong Li was engrossed in sweet love, but he didn't realize Zhang Yimou's true thoughts.
The two have been together for longer and longer, and their age has reached the stage of being urged to marry, Gong Li often inadvertently reminds Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Yimou has never given a clear answer.
It wasn't until Gong Li's brother came to visit her and reminded Zhang Yimou again that he was extremely reluctant.
This attitude completely chilled Gong Li's heart, and finally decisively chose to break up with him.
During her work, she met Huang Hexiang, the person who loved her, which was perfect for using her career to numb the pain in her life.
When he learned that Gong Li was deeply hurt, Huang Hexiang took good care of her warmly.
After repeated setbacks, he finally won Gong Li's trust, and the two entered the palace of marriage.
And this time, Gong Li is also the one who pays.
In order to be with Huang Hexiang, Gong Li gave up everything she had in China, and they decided to settle in Hong Kong, intending to live a stable life.
Huang Hexiang's career soon suffered a heavy blow, which made the burden on the couple even heavier. In order to alleviate the pressure on her husband, Gong Li decided to return to work.
However, this decision also meant that they would be separated for a long time, and over time, the rift gradually appeared. In order to minimize the loss, Gong Li filed for divorce.
Gong Li's heart is tightly closed due to the failure of her marriage again, and she decides to travel to France.
It was during this journey that she met Michelle, who would accompany Gong Li for the rest of her life.
The duo looked a bit deviant and didn't get the favor of netizens.
But their love is stronger than ever, and to this day, they are still happy and sweet.
After experiencing the above two failed relationship experiences, Gong Li's concept of love has changed.
She is no longer willing to sacrifice her career for the sake of her feelings, nor will she allow her career to become an obstacle to her love life.
After Gong Li and Michelle were together, she still devoted herself to her film career.
This time, she managed to juggle love and career.
She was at the time of a bumper harvest in her love and career, but she suddenly became the focus of **.
In 2008, Gong Li was hurt by marital problems, and finally made a seemingly unexpected decision - to become a Singaporean citizen.
Everything has been calm and normal for so long, and for some reason it was suddenly revealed.
Her behavior has attracted countless netizens to abuse and boycott, Gong Li's reputation has also been greatly damaged, and the image of "the pride of the Chinese people" who once praised her is gone.
She was inundated with accusations of "forgetting her roots", "hypocrisy" and "being unpatriotic", yet he never publicly responded to these remarks. Netizens were puzzled by Gong Li's decision.
What is her real motivation if she really wants to join. If there is a misunderstanding, then everything can be clarified by explanation. Gong Li always insisted on disagreeing with her attitude, making the audience feel that she was disappointed.
She believes that becoming a Singaporean citizen at that time was only her personal decision, which would not change her identity as a Chinese, and her love for her motherland would not be diminished.
Despite being questioned by countless netizens, Gong Li still retains her Singaporean citizenship and firmly expresses her love for China.
Although her subsequent actions seem to contradict her change of nationality, the attitude of the Chinese people towards her seems to be gradually softening.
At the 2018 Golden Horse Awards ceremony, an award-winning director was involved in ** issues when he made remarks that he did not have a clear position, which caused Gong Li to directly and publicly refuse to present the award and called on other mainland actors to leave the scene.
This move of hers once again demonstrated to the people of her country her deep patriotism.
At the event, when participating in the Cannes jury, they will introduce themselves in Chinese and emphasize that their nationality is Chinese.
Whenever she participates in international film festivals, Gong Li always introduces herself to the audience in Chinese and answers questions from reporters. She also repeatedly emphasized that she was from China.
In April this year, Gong Li was invited to accompany France** to visit China as a cultural representative, showing an opportunity not to be missed to introduce herself in Chinese and make her position clear under the attention of everyone.
However, the incident sparked controversy as expected, causing netizens to split into two camps.
Some people believe that the true meaning of patriotism lies in action, and whether a person has a patriotic heart cannot be judged by his identity, so as to carry out moral kidnapping.
Some netizens believe that even if they change their nationality, they must not be forgiven.
Gong Li has been controversial for more than 30 years since her debut, but she has always maintained her original intention.
Whether she is a young actor who debuted in Cannes or an international superstar who is now a high-flying superstar, she has always maintained her Chinese heart and used her influence to inspire people's patriotic feelings.
