From her official debut in 1985 to her departure from TVB in 1991, Li Meixian only filmed in TVB for about five or six years, but this is enough to make her name occupy a certain position and weight in TVB, which is full of beautiful women, and many viewers regard her as the first beauty in TVB costume dramas.
In the 1980s and 1990s, celebrity calendars, wall paintings, posters, stickers, and so on were popular all over the country, and Lai Meixian's photos were very popular in that era. Many of the post-70s and post-80s people have had the experience of posting photos of Li Meixian on the wall of the room, and she can be described as the dream lover of countless boys in that era.
As a recognized costume beauty, the number of costume dramas filmed by Li Meixian accounts for more than half of her acting career works, such as Liu Shuangshuang in "Di Qing", Li Yuanzhi in "Book of Swords and Vengeance", Zheng Annie in "Southern Fist Cai Li Fo", Meng Jing in "Heavenly Change", Qi Fang in "Lian Cheng Tips", Mercury Beova in "Earth Flying Eagle" and so on.
However, if it comes to the most classic role played by Li Meixian, it is undoubtedly the wise and clever Mongolian first beauty Zhao Min in "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens" and the Lan Xin hui and simple and flawless Tie Xin Lan in "Absolute Double Glory". In particular, the image of Tie Xin Lan she created was even more amazing, and many viewers even issued a sigh of "there is no Tie Xin Lan after Li Meixian".
Before Li Meixian, the actresses who played Tie Xin Lan included Jing Daiyin, Wen Xue'er, Huang Xingxiu, Pan Yingzi, etc.; after Li Meixian, the actresses who played Tie Xin Lan included Yuan Yongyi, Chen Derong, Fan Bingbing, Liang Jingxian, etc., but in the eyes of the audience, most people have drawn an equal sign between Tie Xin Lan and Li Mei Xian.
As a Hong Kong sister champion, Yuan Yongyi was beautiful when she was young, but in the eyes of the audience, she was suitable for playing More Mulan than Tie Xin Lan. Chen Derong can deduce the tender and watery side of Tiexinlan, but it lacks the bright and luxurious temperament of Tiexinlan. Fan Bingbing is also a great beauty that everyone admires, but her temperament is too feminine. As for Liang Jingxian's version of Tie Xin Lan, it is not so familiar, so it is not easy to evaluate. Some people say that Fan Bingbing is more beautiful than Li Meixian, maybe! But Li Meixian's classical temperament has amazed the audience for decades, and I don't know if Fan Bingbing can do it?
In 1984, Li Meixian entered the wireless artist recruitment class for half a year, and among the actresses of her contemporaries, Lan Jieying, Zeng Huaqian, Zhou Haimei and other actresses were once goddesses in the minds of many audiences. Maybe Li Meixian's fashion style was not particularly prominent in that era, but when it comes to costume styling, other actresses are slightly inferior to her.
Some people use the phrase "like a pear blossom, beautiful and quiet without dust" to describe Li Meixian, in addition to her fresh and unworldly appearance, her own personality is very gentle and virtuous. It is a pity that such a beautiful woman who is loved by everyone has many twists and turns in the emotional issue, and she loves Liang Chaowei with a dead heart, but the other party abandons her because of the rekindling of her old love with Zeng Huaqian.
Then she fell in love with Wu Qihua, and Wu Qihua empathized with Jin Qiaoqiao. Later, she met director Lai Jianguo, who originally thought that mature old men were more single-minded in their feelings, and she was also hurt again. It wasn't until 2005, when she was nearly 40 years old, that she met Xie Xingzhao, the man who truly loved her.
