When you think of Hong Kong movies, what comes to mind first? Zhou Xingchi Zhou Runfa Jackie Chan's double Monday cheng? Du Qifeng Xu Ke Wang Jing and other famous directors? Or is it the classic screen images such as zombie DaoChang, Xiao Ma Ge, Nie Xiaoqian and so on?
There must be another element that cannot be avoided - Hong Kong actresses.
In the 1980s and 1990s, it was known as the golden age of Hong Kong films, when the annual output of Hong Kong films reached more than 200 films, becoming the world's third film industrial production area after Hollywood and Bollywood. It has also set off a frenzy of Hong Kong films in East Asia.
And the female Hong Kong stars who have followed these film and television works across the ocean have directly defined the aesthetic style of a generation.
May 16 is the birthday of Hong Kong star Qiu Shuzhen. Today, let's take stock of the past experience of this human creature.
Hong Kong sister who retired from the competition was praised by TVB
Born on May 16, 1968 in Hong Kong, China, Qiu Shuzhen was a doll with double eyelids and a big eyes and a pointed chin as a child.
At the age of 19, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong audition, and with her good figure and outstanding looks, she reached the final 12 beauties and became a big favorite to win the championship. However, the candidate Jiali Huangying pointed out that Qiu Shuzhen had a full chin, and for a time public opinion was in an uproar, and Qiu Shuzhen could only be forced to withdraw from the Miss Hong Kong contest.
How could a hot beauty not have the company's attention. After retiring from the competition, Qiu Shuzhen immediately signed a contract with TVB, and partnered With Liang Chaowei and Zeng Huaqian to star in the TV series "New Brother Zha 1988", and also became a wireless "Kowloon Girl" with Mei Yanfang, Liu Jialing, Lan Jieying, Maggie Cheung, Zeng Huaqian, Wu Junru, Shangshan Shina, and Luo Meiwei, which shows TVB's strong support for it.
From the Vase Jade Girl to the Golden Statue Goddess
In 1988, the 20-year-old Qiu Shuzhen met Wang Jing, who was shocked by Qiu Shuzhen's beauty and immediately threw an olive branch at Qiu Shuzhen. Qiu Shuzhen also officially entered the film industry with his help.
The first film work "Mr. Collision" is still only a small supporting role that does not rank up, and in the same year, another "Best Friend" became a heroine.
The character played by Qiu Shuzhen in it is called "Qu Doudou" and has since had a nickname "Doudou". It can be seen that this film helps to open its popularity.
In 1992, Qiu Shuzhen became Zhou Xingchi's "Star Girl" with the support of Wang Jing, the brutal and wayward Princess Jianning in "Deer Ding Ji" and "Deer Ding Ji 2: Divine Dragon Sect", Qiu Shuzhen's interpretation was also a little more cute and agile, which made people hate it.
In 1993, he re-starred in Mr. Jin Yong's work "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", and this time the object of cooperation became Jet Li.
In addition to showing Xiao Zhao's consistent empathy, intelligent and cute personality background, Qiu Shuzhen's interpretation of Xiao Zhao is more eccentric.
After that, Qiu Shuzhen and Jet Li collaborated with the New Shaolin Five Ancestors (1994) and the Rats and Dragons (1995), and the perfect cooperation for three consecutive years has allowed countless fans to shift their love for the two from inside the play to outside the play. But since then, the two have rarely made public appearances in the outside world. Coincidentally, in 1999, Qiu Shuzhen married and retired from the circle, and in the same year Jet Li also married another goddess Li Zhi.
When she partnered with Jet Li, Qiu Shuzhen starred in another work that made her famous in the history of Hong Kong film beauty - "God of Gamblers 2". The picture of Begonia, the daughter of a gangster, giving a card in red is still haunting.
In 1996, Liu Weiqiang spent 15 days to shoot a "Ancient Puzzle Boy 1 Man in the Jianghu", but he did not expect to become a hit and win 21 million at the box office. So Liu Weiqiang and Wang Jing took advantage of the hot iron to prepare the second part of "Ancient Puzzle Boy 2: Raptors Crossing the River", because Zheng Yijian did not have enough time, so it was temporarily decided that the second part would be based on the pheasant (Played by Chen Xiaochun) as the protagonist. Ding Yao, played by Qiu Shuzhen, became the most loved woman in the life of the pheasant.
When he first appeared on the scene, he was dignified and elegant, and after his successful ascension to the throne, the big red lip slip dress was fully opened. Ding Yao has become a thorn in the heart of the pheasant, and has also become a flower in the hearts of the audience.
Qiu Shuzhen is famous for her beauty in Hong Kong, and Wang Jing has escorted her all the way, never worrying about not having works to shoot. But in the golden age of Hong Kong, the beautiful woman Ruyun also thought that the audience might not remember you, or that you were just a beautiful vase jade girl in their hearts.
With the help of Wang Jing, Qiu Shuzhen broke through herself and won the Academy Award for Best Actress nomination three times. Qiu Shuzhen finally transformed from a vase into a goddess of gold.
In 1999, she and her brother Zhang Guorong's musical film "Left and Right Love" was released, which became her last film work.
The desire of all Hong Kong men
Taking stock of Qiu Shuzhen's past works, it will be found that the amount of "Wang Jing" contained is too high. According to statistics, the two have cooperated a total of 36 times, and it can be said that Wang Jing is an uncompromising noble person in Qiu Shuzhen's acting career. And Wang Jing herself also admired Qiu Shuzhen.
Previously, there was a small love bean known as Qiu Shuzhen of the B station, and Wang Jing even refuted it himself, which was really very protective of Qiu Shuzhen.
On the outside, there is a blue-faced confidant like Wang Jing, and there is a 3.6 billionaire husband Shen Jiawei, the president of I.T Fashion Group.
After the two married in 1999, Qiu Shuzhen chose to retire from the circle and concentrate on her husband and children at home. Her husband, Shen Jiawei, was domineering when he treated the outside world's ridicule of his wife as a star: I marry the desire of men all over Hong Kong.
The relationship between the husband and wife is enviable.
In 2015, Qiu Shuzhen, who had been in the film for 15 years, returned to the public eye for the first time in the variety show, and the 47-year-old Qiu Shuzhen also had traces of age in her eyebrows, but she could still see the shadow of thousands of styles in that year. Years have always treated beauty with extra tenderness.
Qiu Shuzhen's comeback has once again attracted the attention of the public, and people are surprised to find that she and Shen Jiawei's eldest daughter Shen Yue are very similar to Qiu Shuzhen in her youth. The same bright eyes and bright teeth, shen yue is more sweet than her mother's charm.
Because of inheriting her mother's beauty, Shen Yue has always been regarded as a good seedling in the entertainment industry by major companies, but she finally chose to continue her studies and only occasionally worked as a model in the clothing brands owned by her father's company. Before posting a photo of herself cos Akagi Haruko also surprised a vote of netizens.
Another thing that Shen Yue caused public discussion was to participate in the famous Paris Celebrity Ball. This is the world's top celebrity ball founded by the legendary French female publicist and "French social godmother" Ophelia Renua.
It's a dance party attended by only about 20 people around the world each year, and the participants are the daughters of royalty and nobles or cultural and artistic celebrities from all over the world.
Yu Hang, the winner of the International Ballet Competition in Lausanne, Switzerland, Yao Anna, the second princess of Huawei, and He Chaoxin, the youngest daughter of the gambling king, have all attended the Paris Celebrity Ball.
Also attending the dance with Shen Yue was Jet Li's daughter Jane. Qiu Shuzhen and Jet Li were also in the same frame again after a gap of 24 years.
Looking at the two people in the photo, netizens are also overwhelmed with sighs, and 20 years have passed in front of them.
