In the 1990s, the beauty of hong Kong's entertainment industry was like a cloud, sandwiched between Wang Zuxian, Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen and other beautiful women, Li Lizhen's name was still eye-catching.
Not only because of her pure beauty, she is called the goddess of the house, but also because she dares to love and dare to hate, so that many people still remember her.
Speaking of Li Lizhen, I think everyone's first reaction must be her "fragrant and compelling". At that time, Li Lizhen had been given the titles of "student lover" and "pure jade girl", but what she never expected was that the memory of her that the audience could never erase was several restrictive films she made.
In 1980, when Li Lizhen was only 14 years old, she was stopped by a star scout while shopping with her classmates and asked her if she wanted to shoot an advertisement.
Although cutting the boy's head, looking grinning and unscrupulous, Li Lizhen's courage is actually very small, for this extra money, Li Lizhen filmed the first advertisement in her life in the company of 5 friends.
But even if the income is rich, being a star is not her first choice, Li Lizhen originally wanted to be a flight attendant, can fly around the world, travel everywhere, but unexpectedly because of too short and lost.
In this way, with the mentality of summer work, Li Lizhen met Chen Baiming in ignorance and starred in "Happy Ghost".
The "Happy Ghost" series completely subverted the traditional definition of the ghost film genre, once won the top 10 of the most beloved comedy movies in Hong Kong, and also made several of the new girls become the most sought after stars on the street: Yuan Jieying, Luo Meiwei, Chen Jialing, Luo Mingzhu and Li Lizhen composed of the "Happy Girls Group" became famous.
Li Lizhen, who looks harmless and pure, has become a famous "student lover" and "pure jade girl", and has successively starred in similar films such as "Love Season" and "Ghost Horse Campus".
It is worth mentioning that 19-year-old Li Lizhen also played a couple with Zhang Guorong in the movie "For You", and the male talent and female appearance are really matched.
But soon after, the Hong Kong entertainment industry entered a depressed period, three-level films became popular, even if Li Lizhen has successfully transformed with "Big Time", but in the face of the dilemma of family debt, she still "went to the sea".
In Hong Kong in that era, there were not many stars who "became famous", and there were many actresses who chose to sell their hue to become famous, and very few became famous by their own strength. In the entertainment industry of Hong Kong at that time, perhaps "one off to fame" was the fastest way to become famous.
Between 1992 and 1996, Li Lizhen filmed the only 5 Wind and Moon films in her life, but it caused a sensational effect at the time.
The 1993 film "When the Peaches Are Ripe", when it was released in Hong Kong, reached a staggering 12 million at the box office. Li Lizhen has become a sexy idol for a new generation of young people.
After Li Lizhen filmed "The Elf of Love" and "The Girl Without Buttons", she announced that she would no longer make this type of film and shifted her focus to the music scene, but in the end she could not resist the temptation of money.
In 1996, Li Lizhen took over the filming of Wang Jing's "Jade Futon Jade Girl Heart Sutra" produced and written by Wang Jing for a sky-high salary of 4 million yuan, and this film also became her real last wind and moon film.
In this movie, there is also Shu Qi, who was 20 years old at the time. Since then, Shu Qi has expressed regret for the decision of her youth on many occasions, and has tried her best to "wear back the clothes she took off one by one", while Li Lizhen said that the road is out of everyone's way, "Shu Qi is different from me, I have been in this circle for a long time when she debuted, she should have worked so hard, but I never regret the choice I made, I don't care what others think." ”
Although Li Lizhen proved that she was fully qualified for the evaluation of a "good actor" with a real Golden Horse Awards ("A Thousand Words" in 1999), it is unavoidable that her old days were full of ups and downs with the spring-shining Hong Kong films.
To this day, no matter which time the media does a nostalgic feature of Hong Kong films, it will never fall behind Li Lizhen, who has created a fresh style in a "choppy wave".
It is difficult to say why Li Lizhen is fully exposed at three o'clock, but she can get reviews that are completely different from other stars.
Just as Li Lizhen is also difficult to determine, why did she transform from a student lover to a generation of queens, "Making this decision is actually a comprehensive factor, it may be because I have grown up, it may be that I am really tired of wearing a student uniform to play a campus girl, or because there is no drama to shoot when I play a pure jade girl again." ”
Today, Xiaowei recommends a movie "Happy Chicken" starring Li Lizhen, an otaku goddess, to fans and friends.
Although this movie is called "Happy Chicken", there is not much happy atmosphere in the film, and it is more of a sadistic human ugliness. The film takes the story of a group of young prostitutes as the main line, and while showing the distorted core values of life like us, it is also exposing the very dark side of social life, in such a distorted life life, it is more to ruin a person's thoughts and psychology, and even life.
The film was released in 1990 and starred Li Lizhen, Li Lirui, Zhang Yaoyang, Cheng Kui'an, and Sun Xing.
Many fans do not know who Li Lirui is, and Li Lizhen's name together mistakenly believes that li Lizhen's sister, in fact, this Li Lirui is also a wonderful actress, in 1989 she won the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress with the movie "School Storm", and the campus sister in Stephen Chow's movie "Truancy Weilong" is also memorable. (She is also a singer, host, and Zhang Yaoyang's ex-girlfriend.)
"Happy Chicks", when I first saw the title, was still very confused. It feels like the name of the game, or a cartoon. But after watching it, I found out that this is a movie that reflects the call girls in Hong Kong in the 1990s.
There have been many films in the history of Hong Kong film that reflect the call girl, such as "Call Girl 1988" and "Moon, Star and Sun" starring Maggie Cheung, and "Call Girl 1992" starring Liu Jialing.
However, this film is more about the story of the young girl's call. Although the title is happy, in the actual film, they are not happy at all, and their growth is full of pain.
"My name is Lin Bisheng, and I am seventeen years old this year. I was born on Temple Street and I had everything except eardrums and hymen. ”
This is the opening statement of Lin Bisheng (Li Lirui) at the beginning of the film.
Her mother was a prostitute who was abandoned and orphaned by her mother from an early age. He began to be called at the age of twelve, after which he was sent to school by social assistance. However, since childhood, there was no love, and he was incompatible in school, so he still did the business of answering the call. The little boys at school will pick up customers as long as they give money.
Lin Bisheng likes to gamble money, which is the greatest joy of her life and the source of her fate.
Because of gambling, she owed a huge amount of money to chicken head Western boys.
Lin Biqi (Li Lizhen), and Lin Bisheng are good sisters, collectively known as "Temple Street Double Big".
Deeply in love with her boyfriend Aaron (Zhang Yaoyang), he had an abortion for him.
Compared with Lin Bisheng, Lin Biqi is still good.
Good looks, good business on call, and a boyfriend who loves each other.
Because Lin Bisheng owed money to Western Boys, plus she had a bad temper, she was always arranged by Western Ocean Boys in low-grade places, and all the money collected was used to repay debts.
To this end, the contradiction between Lin Bisheng and Western Tsai intensified, and invited Lin Biqi's boyfriend Aaron to stand up for himself.
Aaron belongs to the same community as the Western Boys, and is also a chicken head.
The negotiations did not go well, and the two companies fought each other.
After that, Lin Biqi was taken away by the Western Tsai and took turns to riot many times.
In the film, Li Lizhen Li Lixin participated in many fight scenes, although the actual shooting will not touch the real body, but the film will still feel shocked and sighed. The group that should be cared for is not treated gently by society.
After mediation by the boss of the society, Aaron rescued Lin Biqi, who was covered in scales.
Life had to go on, and Lin Bisheng and Lin Biqi came to Aaron's men to answer the call.
The industry is not easy. Lin Bisheng met a perverted black man and suffered cruel abuse.
He was later captured by Mai Sir (Cheng Kui'an), but Aaron released him on bail.
In the lives of three people, feelings are prone to problems.
Aaron's goodness was seen by Lin Bisheng, although she knew that her girlfriend boyfriend could not touch it, but she still couldn't help but tattoo a dragon on her back.
In many fights, Lin Bisheng will always be injured, and Aaron will inevitably take care of it a little more.
These will naturally be jealous in Lin Biqi's view.
There was a rift in the feelings of the three.
Aaron is actually an undercover police officer, and his boss is a police officer played by Sun Xing.
Therefore, every time the Western Ocean Boy is always swept up by the police, which naturally arouses the suspicion of the Western Ocean Boy.
Mai Sir is a police officer in charge and a father. There is a lovely son, and a sister Mei (Mei Aifang) who loves herself.
Introduction: Mei Aifang is the sister of Hong Kong's daughter, Mui Yanfang.
Because Mai Sir always swept the Western boys, he was resentful of them, took people to beat them up, and snatched the pistol.
Xi Yangzai was also expelled from the society, and in a frenzy, he went to kill Mai Sir again, but Sun Xing was killed in the process of saving Mai Sir.
Xiyang Boy captured Lin Bisheng, and Lin Biqi let go of the gap in her heart and followed her to the factory to save Lin Bisheng.
After a fight, Lin Biqi was beaten to death.
After that, The Western Boy captured Mai Sir's son, and after the cooperation of Aaron and Mai Sir, he finally beat the West Boy to death.
Nowadays, with the passage of time and changes, Li Lizhen has also reached middle age, and Li Lizhen, who is in her 50s, has rarely played film and television dramas anymore, and rarely appears in the entertainment industry, so many viewers and netizens are almost about to forget her.
However, although the beauty is late, the sword is still not old. In 2021, Li Lizhen was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Korean Asian Film Awards with the role of Chen Mei in the movie "Turbid Water Drifting" and Qin Hailu in "On the Cliff" directed by Zhang Yimou.
As a veteran film fan, Xiaowei really feels that Hong Kong in the 90s was an era of shining stars, and in that era, countless charming stars emerged, as if a Zhu Yin, Li Ruotong, Zhou Huimin, Qiu Shuzhen were randomly pulled out... Come, can beat today's entertainment industry.
What is particularly rare is that Li Lizhen, as an actress who does not occupy much film and television resources, in that era, although it was only like a meteor flashing by, it illuminated the entire entertainment starry sky, and in the starry sky full of stars, the de-ying swayed, even if she played on the same stage with Lan Jieying and Maggie Cheung, there was no loss of color.
Although Li Lizhen has acted in a lot of Wind moon movies, after watching her performance in the movie, you know that she is superb in acting, obviously looks like a very pure and harmless face, but she can confuse the audience beyond her eyes, which may be li lizhen's charm.
Li Lizhen's performance can be both feminine and pure and lovely, watching her performance will not feel artificial, there will be no traces of performance, she is really a natural good actor.
In the fiercely competitive Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time, Li Lizhen was almost lucky and background, otherwise she would have become a first-line actress like Maggie Cheung, Liu Jialing, and Shu Qi.
It is a pity to create people.
