In last week's North American box office list, the adventure horror film "Neverland" starring Maggie Lee ranked third with more than $12 million, although the number is not high, the word of mouth is not good, but for a low-budget film with an investment of only $7 million, this first week box office performance has been considered a success. Li Meiqi plays a middle-aged woman trapped in an isolated island in the film, although she is over forty years old, she is still as beautiful as ever, but between the eyebrows, there is a little more vicissitudes.
Neverland
For many mainland audiences, the name li meiqi may not be familiar, because the mainland media prefer to call this mixed-race actress maggie q, but in many Chinese film and television dramas starring maggie q, she uses Li Meiqi as a signature, so we still call her Li Meiqi here.
Li Meiqi is obviously a Chinese name, but she herself is not a Chinese, and she does not even have Chinese ancestry. Maggie Lee's pedigree is very complicated, her father is American, french, Polish and Irish blood, the mother is Vietnamese, the father met her mother when she participated in the Vietnam War, and brought her back to the United States, the two later gave birth to Maggie Lee. Such a plot has happened to countless American soldiers who participated in the Vietnam War, and the big Hollywood director Oliver Stone once made a movie called "Heaven and Earth", which is about this strange transnational love affair.
Li Meiqi grew up in Hawaii, due to poverty, she began to work as a part-time model to earn money when she was in middle school, and when she graduated from high school, she did not choose to go to college, but directly signed a modeling agency and became a full-time model. Did not choose to go to college, more or less related to Li Meiqi's life embarrassment, she was interviewed after becoming famous, she once talked about her difficult years: just stepped into the modeling industry, the company paid a weekly salary, I would save money, take cheap transportation, so that on the weekend, I have money to buy four apples, fruits for me have become luxury goods... If I'm going to Japan on business, I bring a whole box of dry food because I don't have the money to eat at the restaurant.
Hawaii in the United States is a place where Asians gather, and Maggie Lee has an Oriental face, so she has focused her career on Asia. At about the age of 20, Li Meiqi was discovered by filmmakers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, China, and has since entered the film industry, which has become a turning point in her fate.
When Li Meiqi entered the Xiangjiang film industry, it was the era of the rise of young movie stars such as Nicholas Tse, Wu Yanzu, Feng Delun, Li Cansen and Teacher Chen, and she had intimate cooperation with these people on the screen, which also reflected the attention of Li Meiqi in the film circle at that time. However, this time was also the era of the sharp decline of Hong Kong films, so after a few years, Maggie Lee chose to go to Hollywood to develop.
In 2005, Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise was choosing an actress for her "Mission Impossible 3", and after Li Maggie saw the news, she sent a video tape showing herself to the filmmaker. Originally, she did not have much hope, but soon after, she received an interview notice from the producer of "Mission Impossible 3", asking her to rush to Los Angeles immediately. After a flight of more than ten hours, Maggie Lee met director J.J. Abrams with exhaustion, and quickly got the approval of the other party. At this time, Brother Tang was running around the world to promote his new film "World War", so Li Meiqi did not see him at the first time, but in the later cooperation, she praised Brother Tang's personality.
When acting in Hong Kong films, she practiced a body of leg and foot kung fu with Cheng Xiaodong, Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Qian Jiale and others, and after her stunning appearance in "Mission Impossible 3", she took over the film "Tiger Dragon 4" by another action superstar, Bruce Willis, in the film, playing a renegade FBI female agent. In a fist-and-kick duel with Bruce Willis, Li Maggie kicked Lao Bu, who was subsequently taken to the hospital for 28 stitches.
After filming "Mission Impossible 3" and "Die Hard 4", Maggie Lee took over the filming of "Three Kingdoms of the Dragon Removal" starring Andy Lau, and at this time she was already worth doubled. In the film, Li Meiqi plays the elderly Zhao Zilong's opponent, Cao Cao's daughter Cao Bao, which is one of her most eye-catching roles in the Chinese film industry, beautiful, cold, domineering, extraordinary, other roles in this film, including Andy Lau's Zhao Zilong, I am afraid that they will be eclipsed in front of her.
In reality, Li Meiqi is known as the "male god harvester", and after she entered the industry, she has passed on rumors with Wu Yanzu, Teacher Chen, Japanese star Nakata Hideshou, etc., among which the love affair with Wu Yanzu is the most well-known to the melon-eating masses. Wu Yanzu later said in an interview that after breaking up with Li Meiqi, his mood was extremely bad, and he often woke up to find that he had shed tears in his dreams, and for this reason, friends advised him to see a psychologist.
Maggie Lee and Dylan McDermott
Fortunately, the matter of feelings is a hurdle that is destined to cross, and now Wu Yanzu has long lived a comfortable life with a happy family, and Li Meiqi has been in love with The Hollywood sexy male god Dylan McDermott for several years, and the news of the breakup came out last year. Li Meiqi, who has a successful career, now often shares her work situation on social media, and perhaps for her, love is not so important.
