She is the Royal Princess "Wen Xiu" in the Oscar-winning film "The Last Emperor", she was named "one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world" by people magazine in the United States, and she was also the first Asian actress to be nominated for the Best Actress at the Canadian Genie Awards.
Wu Junmei was born in 1966 in Shanghai into a film family, the father of a university professor, and the mother of zhu Manfang, a famous actor in Shanghai.
Speaking of Zhu Manfang, many young people may not be familiar with it, but she was also a popular Xiaohua Dan, who participated in the shooting of more than ten films in more than thirty years from the film, one of which was "Juvenile Offender" won the Best Feature Film Award of the Hundred Flowers Award in 1985, and the heroine Xie Jiexin, played by Zhu Manfang, also won the Ministry of Justice's Legal Literature and Art Excellence Award.
Wu Junmei, who grew up in such an academic and strong family atmosphere, has a certain understanding of acting since she was a child. Coupled with the fact that no one at home took care of her, Zhu Manfang would take Wu Junmei to the set.
In this way, Wu Junmei also has a clearer understanding of acting. Wu Junmei, who inherited her mother's talent for acting, was actually favored by the famous director Huang Shuqin when she was 16 years old in high school, and filmed her first film in her life, "Long Live Youth", which undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Wu Junmei at that time, and also made her fall in love with the profession of actor.
But even if you love this industry, you must not fall behind in your studies. Wu Junmei knew that she still had many places to lack, so after she graduated, she went to Hawaii in the United States for further study.
In 1986, the 20-year-old Wu Junmei ushered in a turning point in her destiny, and successfully made an official appearance in the international film industry with the "Wen Embroidery" in "The Last Emperor".
Wu Junmei was called a pure water spirit, full of collagen, she played the Imperial Princess Wenxiu is a woman who "dares to love and dare to hate, avant-garde in thought", and is also the first woman who dares to propose a "divorce" with the emperor.
Wen Xiu's feeling of not being able to rub sand in his eyes was vividly interpreted by Wu Junmei.
People who work hard will always get what she deserves, and sure enough, in 1989, "The Last Emperor" won 9 Academy Awards, and Since then, Wu Junmei's life has completely changed.
After winning the award, Wu Junmei has strengthened her confidence in acting, but she also realized that if she wants to have better development, she must have a better platform.
She immediately made up her mind to move from Hawaii to Los Angeles, then transferred to the University of Los Angeles to study film and began shooting Hollywood movies and television.
After graduation, Wu Junmei also successfully entered Hollywood and became a professional actor in Hollywood, and since then various awards have been soft. It is worth mentioning that in 1995, the 29-year-old Wu Junmei, as a member of the Academy of Sciences, became a lifetime judge of the American Academy Awards!
To everyone's surprise, such a "strong woman" Wu Junmei, who is full of aura, suddenly married a second-married foreigner who is 12 years older than her! And the two have been married for 24 years and have been in love since the beginning, and have never had any scandals! Speaking of which, I have to talk about the history of her foreign husband.
In fact, this "second-marriage foreigner" is named Oscar Knicker, a famous producer and director in Hollywood. At that time, Wu Junmei's career was smooth sailing, and love was also natural.
Just the year after she won the Academy Award for Life Judges, she met the man who would accompany her for the rest of her life.
The two became acquainted with the film "The Disappeared Son", a middle-aged man who had already been married once at the Oscars.
But Wu Junmei saw care and warmth in his body, and he would distribute the warm baby that had been warmed to everyone on the set, and it was precisely because of this that Wu Junmei felt a sense of security.
After identifying this man, Wu Junmei, who dared to love and dare to hate, bravely opened the "backward chase" mode, as the saying goes, the female chased the male compartment yarn, the two quickly came together, and held a Chinese wedding at the Shanghai Garden Hotel.
At that time, People magazine also sent reporters to follow the whole process, and the depiction of the wedding process alone occupied a full 5 pages, and Wu Junmei was also named the first bride of the "Global Hero Wedding".
The sweet life of the two after marriage is even more envious of others, the two will be like ordinary people, hand in hand strolling on the street sidewalk, but also occasionally stop to eat a steaming noodle, just like a little couple in love.
After many years of marriage, Wu Junmei was asked about the way the two got along, she thought about it for a long time, and actually playfully said: We are actually like a boy and a girl who have played together. At this time, Wu Junmei is 44 years old, but we hear such a childlike answer from her mouth, which shows that this beautiful marriage has completely transformed a "strong woman" into a "little princess".
But the most regrettable thing is that the two do not have a child of their own. At that time, after getting married, both people were very busy, did not expect to have children, and then it was too late to want it.
However, the two people did not care much about this matter, and said that the current state is also very good. Treating the daughter of her husband and ex-wife, Wu Junmei, the "stepmother", is also impeccable, and the family is happy and happy.
Now 54-year-old Wu Junmei, in the entertainment industry is still a "big sister" like existence, in many TV series can see her figure, with superb acting skills also conquered the hearts of countless audiences. With her own love of the cause, but also harvested a happy love, I have to say that she seems to be a winner in life.
