Jackie Chan's eldest brother once said that "Wu Jiali is the sexiest beauty in Hong Kong", and it is said that Jackie Chan also fell under her pomegranate skirt. Wu Jiali, because she was deeply influenced by the TV series "Shanghai Beach", enrolled in the 10th ARTIST TRAINING CLASS OF TVB, and was in the same window as Andy Lau, Leung Ka Fai, Xu Jinjiang, and Huang Yaoming. After graduating, she signed a contract with Wireless TV as an artist.
However, in TVB, she can only play some roles such as wind and dust women or mistresses, such as Ge Guangpei in "Tianlong Babu" and dancers in "Happy Female Ghost". After five years, after making an appointment with Wireless, Wu Jiali chose to leave Wireless and turn to the development of the film circle, and won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 1999 Hong Kong Film Awards for "Meteor Language".
Recently, Wu Jiali, who is 57 years old this year, was interviewed by ViuTV's "Golden Statue Girl" program, the location of the interview was a photo studio with a history of decades, facing the nostalgic furnishings in the room, Wu Jiali could not help but have some emotions, and told her years of acting experience, "What I like most is the Shanghai women in the 30s and 40s, so charming, once when filming in the mainland, some actors guessed that I was a Shanghainese, saying that I was similar to the corners of my eyebrows, in fact, I am a Teochew sister who can bear hardships!" ”
At TVB that year, Wu Jiali basically played roles without a few words of dialogue, and she later turned to the film industry, and the first film she took over was "Dragon and Tiger" with Zhou Runfa. In the words of Wu Jiali, although in this movie, her role is an improper woman, but she is also a heroine in the film.
She played Chow Yun-fat's girlfriend A Hong, and the film was well received after its release, Chow Yun-fat won the Academy Award, Lin Lingdong won the Best Director, and Wu Jiali was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The first film work made her attract much attention, and Wu Jiali became a new upstart in the film circle, taking the sexy girl route, and the roles were mostly wild and charming.
She recalled, "At that time, not too many actresses fought with me, Maggie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Min were all heroines, and if there were charms and dusty roles, they would come to me to do it, and there were no people who played such roles at that time." "At that time, she was so busy that she didn't have time to sleep, she would even fall asleep when she walked, and she tried to drive home and hit a stone pier in the parking lot. She laughed even more, "At that time, Zheng Yuling was the Zheng Jiu Group, Wu Junru was the Wu Jiu Group, and I was also the Wu Jiu Group!" ”
Since the film, she has cooperated with many male actors, such as Chow Yun Fat, Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui, Wan Ziliang, Ren Dahua, Fang Zhongxin, Lin Boyi, etc., all of whom are male god-level characters, and they have also acted in many intimate scenes. In 1990, Wu Jiali was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress with "Love in the Net", and in 1993, she won the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for her large-scale film "Lang Heart Like Iron", becoming the first third-level film queen in the history of the Chinese film industry, and the only one so far.
Although she has played a lot of dusty women, Wu Jiali said that in fact, it feels bad to shoot intimate scenes, "The audience enjoys the romance of the male and female protagonists, but the actors are all tears!" Once filming in the United States, the other party is a foreign actor with a long beard, 3 minutes of kissing scenes, grinding to the face is red and swollen, so whenever you see the opponent has a beard, you will be very worried, afraid of getting hurt. ”
Wu Jiali has made hundreds of films, and won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards. In recent years, she has not only continued to perform in front of the scenes, but also directed, planned, and created stories, because she believed that there was a lack of female films in the film industry. But she knows that making women's films is difficult, because the market determines everything. Last year, she had found a female director who planned to make "Women's Prison", but now the films that have a box office are still mainly action movies, so she said that she is still in the stage of thinking.
Recently, she cooperated with producer Wu Jianxiong in the ViuTV drama "Mature Woman Strongman", which brings together artists such as Hu Xing'er, Lu Shiyun, Wu Qianyu, Shen Zhuoying, He Peiyu and Fu Ying, and the story will revolve around seven women, which is highly anticipated.
