Although the well-known director Zhang Jizhong has not had any works in the past 10 years, his popularity has continued, and he has even become "the most difficult to kill Chinese man" in the eyes of the public.

In addition to the "medical miracle" that has attracted the attention of netizens, recently, Zhang Jizhong has been ridiculed by the couple for their frequent jokes about "the spoiled wife torturing the old husband in all kinds of ways":

As the incident escalated, the loving couple recorded a video together to deny everything, and also stated that they would sue the rumor mongers.
In fact, Zhang Jizhong, who has been in the industry for 45 years, has an inspiring and legendary history from actor to director.
But like many old artists, behind his talent, his love life is also in chaos. In addition to his third wife Du Xinglin, the "war" with his first two wives, and various scandals are also particularly exciting.
1. It was not easy to make his debut and he was rejected many times.
Zhang Jizhong was born in an ordinary family in Beijing in 1951. He ranked third among the 9 children in the family. Under the influence of his parents, he was able to sing and dance since he was a child, and was lively and active. A literary and artistic activist in the class.
A few years later, after four years of queue-jumping experience, Zhang Jizhong once again tried to enter the drama, but unfortunately failed again.
In 1971, at the age of 20, he married Wang Ding, an educated young man 2 years younger than himself. It is reported that the woman is the son of a high-ranking cadre, her father is a senior cadre of the Broadcasting Bureau, and her family is well off.
The two fell in love, but this relationship was opposed by the woman's parents. However, Wang Ding was very insistent, and they entered into marriage hand in hand.
After that, they gave birth to a daughter named Zhang Yuxin. Now she is a famous producer and is called the "female boss" by the outside world.
But Zhang Jizhong’s acting dream did not stop after he became a father. After that, he prepared for the exam several times, but was rejected several times due to administrative reasons.
It is rumored that in 1974, under the arrangement of his father-in-law, he became a teacher in a middle school and quickly became the backbone of the local amateur propaganda team due to his literary talent.
Because of this, while participating in various literary and artistic activities, Zhang Jizhong met many like-minded friends, such as the great director Sun Daolin.
Because of his modesty, thoughtfulness, and many literary and artistic talents, he was quickly recommended to the Shanxi Repertory Theater by the latter. At this time, Zhang Jizhong was already 27 years old.
His first role in the drama company only had 8 and a half lines, 141 words.
But Zhang Jizhong took it very seriously, so when he appeared in the second film, he had already started playing the second male lead.
The following year, Zhang Jizhong, who was tall, was noticed by the staff because he and his friends went to the Shanghai Film Studio to watch other people filming movies, and was immediately selected to star in the movie "When We Were Young", and the role was still the male lead.
It can be said that this was another turning point in his fate. Later he was transferred to Sichuan Emei Film Studio to work, and since then he has been making numerous film appointments.
In this process, his wife Wang Ding was deeply gratified and even begged her father to use resources and connections to pave the way for her husband's future.
But what she didn't expect was that as Zhang Jizhong's career gradually improved, their relationship also came to an end.
In 1981, because of her appearance in the movie "Dancing Love", he met Cheng Xiaoying, who played the heroine.
Although the woman is 4 years older than Zhang Jizhong, they stand together as a talented and beautiful woman, making them a perfect match.
There are rumors that Zhang Jizhong began to re-examine the relationship between himself and his wife.
2. Seize the opportunity and rise to heaven
After that, he began to get involved in the TV drama industry and played the role of Yang Liulang in "The Yang Family". Therefore, he became friends with Zhang Shaolin, who was the cameraman, and the two later collaborated on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" 》.
Two years later, Zhang Jizhong, who was not satisfied with the status quo, chose to study screenwriting at the Chinese Theater Academy, where he met actress Wang Jinghua who was studying in the acting department.
The woman is 21 years younger than him. She was born as a child star. She had already made many movies when she was 5 years old. She was also a popular figure when she was a student in China Opera.
It is reported that after meeting Zhang Jizhong, Wang Jinghua was immediately attracted by his talent. The two hit it off very well and soon became close friends. The two were even photographed together on various occasions many times.
However, the two were not destined to be together in the end. This old story was later revealed. The reason was that the woman signed a contract with Tsui Hark's studio in order to enter the Hong Kong market.
According to the management of Hong Kong companies, artists are not allowed to fall in love. After weighing the balance, Wang Jinghua chose a career.
It is precisely because of this that in those years she starred in costume works such as "Once Upon a Time in China" and "Book and Sword", but she did not become very popular.
On the contrary, Zhang Jizhong's career has taken a new turn.
In 1992, at the age of 41, he got the opportunity to serve as the production director of the fourth part of the large-scale costume drama "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Because of his outstanding performance,

It is said that Fan Xinman is a fan of Zhang Jizhong. As early as 15 years old, she fell in love with him after watching the movie "Dancing Love" starring him.
Later, the two met. By chance, Zhang Jizhong was particularly surprised when he saw the poster of "Dancing Love" that she had collected and carried with her.
Then he told Fan Xinman that he was the leading actor in the movie, which made the latter feel: it was fate!
Time soon came to 1995. 44-year-old Zhang Jizhong ended his 24-year marriage to his first wife Wang Ding. The latter left his hometown and was never heard from again.
It is reported that the reason for the divorce was that the man was becoming more and more famous and had more and more scandals, which made Wang Ding intolerable.
And Zhang Jizhong's brilliant career has just begun:
In 1996, he served as the production director of the large-scale TV series "Water Margin".
This work became a great success in the future. Even Jin Yong in Hong Kong liked it very much. He once said:
"If CCTV can shoot my drama in the form of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Water Margin", I will I'm willing to sell it for 1 yuan."
Zhang Jizhong immediately contacted Jin Yong after learning about it, and finally the two parties signed a contract for the adaptation rights of "The Swordsman", and the copyright fee was indeed only 1 yuan. After the broadcast of
's work, the response was good. Zhang Jizhong's status as a famous director has been firmly established, especially his bearded appearance, which impressed audiences across the country.
During this period, he was always accompanied by Fan Xinman silently, and the woman was also talented, and her help in his career should not be underestimated.
It is reported that she was working as the director of "Touching China" at the time. She later wrote a book for Zhang Jizhong, and also personally helped write the lyrics for his film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"...
It can be said that Fan Xinman was not only a girlfriend, but also a former She was Zhang Jizhong's right-hand man in his career, but the two didn't get married until 2002, after more than ten years of dating.
It is said that the man once made an affectionate confession and finally embraced the talented girl. He said:
"I confess to you that I can't tell the difference between soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts, but I will try my best to follow the words in "Kitchen Food", Try to train yourself to be a great chef."
But Fan Xinman, who was in romantic love at the time, didn't know that the marriage only lasted 10 years before falling apart and causing a lot of trouble.
3. Emotional stories, chickens and dogs
After 2001, Zhang Jizhong successfully filmed many martial arts dramas such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon", including 9 works by Jin Yong, which are known as "mainland martial arts dramas" First person".
During this period, he naturally made a lot of celebrities. In addition to the now famous Liu Yifei, Liu Tao, etc., there was also a girl named He Zhuoyan.
He Zhuoyan was born in the draft. He participated in the "Yahoo Star Search" like Zhao Liying and later debuted as the champion of Zhang Jizhong's group.
After that, she was highly praised by the other party and successfully entered the crew of "The Deer and the Cauldron", playing the role of Bai Yueguang's "Shuang'er".
After that, He Zhuoyan acted in one good drama after another, but basically all of them were Zhang Jizhong's works.
Over time, the outside world began to doubt the relationship between the two, but neither party came forward to respond.
Not only that, Zhang Jizhong also boldly used his once-rumored girlfriend Wang Jinghua in these works, who is also well-known to the audience for her roles such as "The Exterminated Master".
But at the peak of his career, the relationship between him and his wife Fan Xinman cooled down until they began to separate in 2006.
But the deep binding of interests makes both parties have no choice but to show their intimate side in front of the stage.
Wai Gelou, the two also gave birth to a son, but he was well protected. Later, the two divorced and the child was raised by his mother.
In 2012, Zhang Jizhong's cultural company changed its name to Shanghai Jizhong Cultural Development Co., Ltd., releasing its ambition to go public, and Fan Xinman served as the chairman of the company.
In addition, the company also has a young man named Xiao Qi. It is reported that he met Zhang Jizhong during the filming of "Journey to the West" two years ago. The latter is young and promising, and has served as director many times since.
There are rumors that Zhang Jizhong once recognized Xiao Qi as his godson. As a result, the latter and Fan Xinman had more interactions.
In 2016, an explosive news came out:
Someone revealed that there was an improper relationship between Fan Xinman, who was 50 years old at the time, and his 41-year-old godson Xiao Qi.
After the incident came to a head, the woman quickly denied it and revealed at a press conference that she was divorcing Zhang Jizhong on the grounds that her husband had cheated on her first and had given birth to an illegitimate child in the United States.
Zhang Jizhong immediately retorted, saying that his wife was "a bunch of nonsense and made something out of nothing."
Since then, this "model couple" who have been together for many years has started a process of tearing each other apart:
one denied cheating and even got into a fight;
was aggressive and directly exposed the photos of the "mistress" Du Xinglin.
And Du Xinglin is not a good person. He immediately called Fan Xinman a "crazy woman" in an interview...
In the end, the ending of this farce was also a "farce" - at the end of 2016, Zhang Jizhong and Fan Xinman ended up divorcing, and then he was She was photographed having sex with Du Xinglin in the United States.
Someone revealed that the two met at a movie program event in 2015. The man was the keynote speaker and the woman was the planner. As a result, the two communicated frequently, and sparks sparked.
Du Xinglin also had a marriage before. Her ex-husband was Huang Taiyuan, a wealthy Taiwanese businessman who was 15 years older than her. The man was also married when they were together, so both of them were suspected of cheating and meddling.
But not long after marrying Huang Taiyuan, Du Xinglin met Zhang Jizhong. Although there was a 31-year age difference between them, they did not stop falling in love with each other at all.
As soon as she turned around, the woman divorced her ex-husband and fell into the arms of Zhang Jizhong.
In March 2017, the two achieved positive results, and then began the journey of showing their love.
Du Xinglin gave birth to a daughter and a son successively. In other words, including a daughter and a son from his first two wives, as well as a mixed-race illegitimate son with an unknown biological mother, Zhang Jizhong has a total of 5 children.
Now, his third wife has announced that she is pregnant again, and he has therefore been hailed as a representative figure of "the sword that lasts forever".
But now, this legend has become "the most difficult man to kill", which makes people laugh.
What is less known is that while he was showing off his love for his wife, his second wife Fan Xinman was still suing Zhang Jizhong. The ruling between the two was just settled last month:
Zhang Jizhong needs to publicly apologize to the other party and pay compensation. Mental damage fee is 20,000 yuan.
