Gui Yalei, the first generation of Qiong Girl, debuted for more than fifty years, played a lot of classic TV and movie roles, such as Lu Yiping, Wu Zetian, Empress Dou, Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Xiao, etc., and has also won many awards, it can be said that her acting career is very successful, but it has not been smooth sailing along the way, so what did she rely on to get to today?
It is reported that Gui Yalei's father is a well-known director and screenwriter in Taiwan, and her mother was born in a family of scholars, who was influenced by her parents since she was a child, she not only loves to learn, but also the dream of becoming an actor has taken root in her heart early. Later, she played a small role in one of her father's works, "Put Down Your Whip", and her excellent performance received a lot of praise, which also showed that she was very talented in acting, which strengthened her determination to take this road.
There is a saying that "success is talent plus diligence and opportunity", for Gui Yalei, 1965 is a crucial year, she filmed the film "Smoke and Rain", in which she played the heroine Lu Yiping, a set of youth, beauty, arrogance, stubbornness in one, as the original, with a tragic ending, Gui Yalei used her natural style to interpret Yiping's pitiful and hateful place vividly and vividly, which was very impressive.
The so-called "debut is the peak", may be said to be Gui Yalei, in 1966, she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress with the above works, after that, she began to move forward more strongly on the road of acting, has starred in "Home in Taipei", "Wedding Banquet", "Daughter Red", "Yunshui Ballad", "Virgin Maria", "Daming Palace Words", "Orange Red", "Han Wu The Great", "Spicy Mother-in-law" and many other film and television works, and won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actress, The Best Actress of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival Crystal Globe Award for Actress, Best Actress at the TV Drama Festival, Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress, Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress, and Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sino-US Film Festival.
Behind this classic work, the shaping of one role after another, and the heavy awards, the condensation is not only due to Gui Yalei's own talent and hard work, but also contains the audience's affirmation and recognition of her.
In fact, not only has she made great achievements in her career, but also Gui Yalei's marriage and family are also happy, but this feeling has also had an impact on her deductive career development.
It is reported that when Gui Yalei was 18 years old, she and her husband Zhang Mengkui met and fell in love, and the two were their first love. I think at the beginning, when Gui Yalei went to interview the heroine of "Smoke and Rain", Zhang Mengkui was not supportive, he thought that the interpersonal relationship in the entertainment industry was too complicated, but for the actor's dream that had been burning in his heart, Gui Yalei could not give up, and she promised Zhang Mengkui that "after playing Yiping, she would marry him". And she said to do it, after becoming popular with the role of "Yi Ping", the 21-year-old Gui Yalei resolutely married Zhang Mengkui, so that the relationship between the two entered the next stage.
After marriage, Zhang Mengkui still did not like Gui Yalei to continue acting, because most of the time filming was in the crew, he would not be able to take care of home, and the complexity of the entertainment industry might even affect the family life of the two, and he still hoped that Gui Yalei would teach his husband and son at home. In the end, after the mediation of the mother-in-law, Gui Yalei and her husband agreed on three chapters: do not take the exposure and kissing shots, do not participate in the social, do not send other people's photos, and then continue to shoot.
Later, this "three chapters of the law" has a great impact on Gui Yalei's interpretation career, for example, the love theme of the work will inevitably have a kissing plot, she may not be able to act; and every time after filming, go home, do not participate in the social, over time, will be misunderstood to play a big card; and when shooting a certain film, there is a need to take off the skirt of the shot, Gui Yalei insisted on wearing a petticoat, disagreed with the director, slowed down the shooting progress... At this time, Gui Yalei could only bear it silently.
Fortunately, later Zhang Mengkui understood his wife's grievances, and his sentence "I believe you can grasp the good degree" is not the most precious trust between husband and wife. It can be said that Gui Yalei has come to this day, in addition to her own struggle and efforts, she is also inseparable from the support and understanding of her family. Now 77-year-old Gui Yalei has grown old gracefully, she and her husband have known each other for more than fifty years, two daughters live happily, and there are children and grandchildren around the knees, which is really a winner in life.
