At the age of 40, it is not easy for Gillian to get divorced.
Separated for a year, they were divorced, but ex-husband Lai Hongguo claimed to "not knowing why he was returned."
A few days ago, there was a hot search for Lai Hongguo's depression and weight loss of 18 pounds.
In his response, there were words in his words:
You see I'm in a marriage, and my life is going to be ruined.
As soon as Gillian said on her front foot that she would "never marry", her ex-husband came out and accused her of marriage.
He may not have watched "The Thrilling 20-Year-Old", but his ex-wife has indeed changed as a person.
Physically, because of hormones, Gillian gained a large circle;
But in words, she boldly admitted that she still longed for marriage, and "never marry" was a misinterpretation.
The 40-year-old "fat girl" is much calmer, no longer a nervous little girl in her 20s.
In 2008, a nude photos scandal caused a disaster for Gillian, and malice overwhelmed the earth.
In the past 13 years, she has escaped from the prison cage of the past.
Suffering together, there is also a partner Asa.
But compared to Gillian, Asa got more like an inspirational script.
If she can go back to 20 years old, Ah Jiao doesn't want to live a good life.
This sentence is not remorse, but to see where you got lost and where you fell.
Time has passed, and when it comes to Twins, the most voiced is heartache. But the last thing they need is probably the belated heartache.
From the day they chose to come back, Gillian and Asa had already faced this life.
Just climbing over this cage, The price That Gillian paid was the entire first half of her life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="62" > when autumn meets summer</h1>
In the lounge of the Emperor Hennessy Road Group in Hong Kong in 2000, some young people were pulled in.
The 18-year-old Gillian sat alone in a row, her hands clasped tightly on her legs, not moving. On her first day on the job, she didn't know what to do next.
There was a frolicking outside the door, the door was pushed open, and the girls walking in front of her jumped and jumped, talking and laughing with the crowd.
The girl saw Gillian and trotted straight over.
Girl: You look good and familiar.
Gillian: I've photographed a lot of magazines, and you should have read them in magazines.
Girl: I also shoot magazines yay.
Gillian: Oh, I'm not impressed.
The girl's name is Cai Zhuoyan, and the first time she entered the door, she found Ajiao in the corner.
So beautiful, and so quiet.
In 1981, Ah Jiao was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong, and her father named her Zhong Dishan.
However, when she was one year old, her father died tragically.
After her father left, her mother changed her new name, zhong jiali.
But Gillian did not have a day worthy of praise and encouragement, and she had been wandering around with her mother since she was a child.
Her mother worked in an uncertain place, entrusted her to different relatives to take care of her, and when she was a child, she changed 6 kindergartens.
Every place is familiar with a face, and then moved to the next place, for many years, Gillian's life is a half-baked stranger, no friends.
It wasn't until her mother remarried and the new family added a little sister in her 10s that she had a companion.
In order to motivate Gillian, the mother often compares her grades with other children, and sometimes compared her appearance.
She always felt that she was inferior to others, which made her mother dissatisfied.
Since elementary school, Gillian did not like to communicate with people, and she preferred mathematics and sports in her studies.
She joined the school's track and field team, where she was scouted and worked part-time as a magazine model.
Shooting magazines and running competitions, Gillian finally became the school's hero. In her third year of high school, her stepfather was happy and sent her to study at the Royal Australian Institute of Technology.
In 1999, when the 18-year-old Ah Jiao was studying in Australia, Ah Sa, who was 1 year younger than her, had already entered the Hong Kong show business circle.
Also a single parent, Asa is much luckier than Gillian.
Rich businessman's father held her in the palm of his hand from elementary school to middle school, picking the best school in Hong Kong; if he wanted to take an interest class, he directly invited the dance teacher and piano teacher to his home.
(Asa and Mom)
Because of the business, Asa's father got to know some people in the entertainment industry, and the news was well informed.
In 1999, in Wu Zhenyu's film "Since She Came", Asa appeared for a few seconds. But it was these few seconds that gave her a second chance.
In 2000, TVB short drama "Youth Y2K", Asa showed Cheng Sasha's growth path from rebellion to understanding.
After the short play was broadcast, Emperor agent Huo Wenxi saw this passage in an employee analysis report:
In the audience letters of the short play, the discussion about the newcomer Cai Zhuoyan far exceeds that of other actors.
A few days later, Asa received an induction notice from Howenxi.
Soon after she joined the Emperor, Gillian was pulled by her mother to register for the Emperor Supernova Competition.
The two met in the company lounge, and Huo Wenxi looked worried.
At first, I was really a little worried about how Gillian would be an artist.
Sit next to him without saying a word, don't sing, don't chat, don't eat.
At the end of the Emperor's one-year freshman training, Huo Wenxi found that the two girls looked more and more alike, but their personalities were as quiet as autumn and as enthusiastic as summer.
In 2001, she made a bold attempt to make them debut as a girl group, named Twins.
At that time in Hong Kong, Jacky Cheung, the king of heaven, announced that he would not participate in any award ceremony, Faye Wong was tired of dealing with scandals, and the music scene was briefly silent.
Asa and Ah Jiao were very afraid, because at that time, the Hong Kong women's group formed a team to die, and the company did this, which was equivalent to letting them "send heads".
2017 Familiar Taste 2
At that time, Asa already had a representative work Y2K, and everyone knew her when walking on the streets of Hong Kong;
Gillian has zero works, but her singing skills are not bad. At the beginning of the combination, there were many people to blow the wind in their ears.
Say That Sa is bad in front of Gillian and bad in Front of Asa.
There was much less talk between the two than before, and the atmosphere became eerie.
Huo Wenxi noticed that something was wrong and asked her to stop working twice and go out to play.
On the beach of a small island, Asa and Gillian finally talked about it, and when they returned to the company, they joined forces to deal with the divisive people, and Twins has since broken the barrier.
After the launch of the first self-titled album "Twins", Asa's funny, sweet and youthful singles "Girls' School Boys" and "Love is Bigger Than Heaven" were all over Hong Kong.
From debut to popularity, but a year.
Their road to fame is not the draft of thousands of troops crossing the canoe bridge, nor the grassroots sadness of the bottom work.
Everything seemed to come too quickly, too easily.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="172" > Asa achievement Asa</h1>
In 2001, the Emperor brought Eason Chan, Nicholas Tse and Joey Yung under his command.
While the singers sang, they were also active on the big screen of the movie.
In Ma Weihao's "Always in My Heart", Asa and Eason Chan staged a life-and-death sadomasochistic love.
Xiao Duan, played by Eason Chan, is a funeral home clerk, while A Sa is a young girl with cancer.
One handles the aftermath for the deceased, one is bent on death, and Xiao Duan dissuades this loveless girl from regaining her health, but he leaves her forever.
Asa was a fledgling and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best New Actor for this role.
On the other hand, Twins is also developing strongly, the new album "Twins" won 9 music awards, and the sisters' New Year MV invited Zhang Guorong to help.
Twins albums hit big, and Asa caught up, singing while expanding her footprint in the film industry.
In 2003, Ma Weihao tailored the film "The Next Stop Tianhou" for Asa, which tells the story of the fame experience of an ordinary girl.
The name of the movie, taken from the "Tin Hau Station" of the Hong Kong Subway, means that youth should have dreams and always run to the next station.
Stills from "The Next Stop Tianhou"
In 2004, a total of 53 films were released in Hong Kong, of which 10 were starring Asa, accounting for one-fifth of Hong Kong's film production, and was known as the industry's desperate three brides.
Asa likes Andy Lau's "Heavenly Love" and envies the heroine Wu Qianlian even more.
I can cooperate with Andy Lau, and I have no regrets in this life.
That year, Asa thought of something. Andy Lau invited her to participate in his first film, "Say I Love You Again".
Asa was so nervous that she stumbled when she spoke, and the kiss scene with Andy Lau was also filmed. At the age of 23, she can work with idols, and Asa fulfills her dream of being a girl.
In the police film "The King of drama", Asa plays a third-level film actor and the acting teacher of the undercover police.
In this movie, even the director Xu Anhua came to play a supporting role for her, and Asa won the Academy Award nomination for it.
Just when Asa's career is booming, Gillian, who is in love, is only one step away from disaster.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="214" > Ajiao trapped Ajiao</h1>
In 2001, Twins' first album hit well.
Huo Wenxi hit the iron while it was hot, and asked Nicholas Tse, Eason Chan, Joey Yung and others to help them hold their first concert in Hung Hom, Hong Kong.
Nicholas Tse and Eason dressed as women, and sang live with Gillian and Asa, which is the highest courtesy for the newcomers.
However, for Ah Jiao, the attention of the people on the stage is not as good as the gaze of the person offstage.
In the Emperor, except for Asa, the only person who will take the initiative to talk to her and make her laugh, his name is Chen Guanxi.
Soon after Gillian entered the Emperor, she became acquainted with him, and the two fell in love at first sight, but they have been secretly developing an underground love.
Rehearsals are tiring, and Gillian will be happy all day because of one of his text messages. Sometimes when I can't find Chen Guanxi on the phone, I secretly go crazy.
When in love, Chen Guanxi's scandals have not stopped, because these are often divided and combined.
Asa reminded Ah Jiao more than once: Chen Guanxi is not a good person.
But she decided that no one could persuade her.
It was not until 2003 that Yu Wenle broke the entanglement.
In the movie "Yilu Cane", Ah Jiao and Yu played a couple, and the two really became lovers.
Stills from "A Piece of Cane"
At an awards party in the Hong Kong Red Pavilion, Ajiao, Yu Wenle, Zhou Yumin and a group of young people chatted very happily.
Chen Guanxi, who was on the side, did not participate in the topic until Yu Wenle got up and he followed him to the backstage.
Chen Guanxi deliberately rubbed shoulders and touched each other, and the two of them punched me and kicked each other together, and this hand-to-hand fight was jokingly called "fighting for Ajiao".
Gillian became the "goddess" in the minds of the otaku in those two years.
Her film and television resources are also at the top of the circle, playing with An Yixuan and Zhu Yin in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and cooperating with Zhang Weijian and Tan Yaowen in "Plan A".
In 2007, Chen Kaige and Yan Geling wrote the script of the same name for Mei Lanfang, preparing to shoot the movie "Mei Lanfang", and Ah Jiao was selected to play Mei Lanfang's wife, the teenager Fu Zhifang.
At that time, Chen Kaige had already been crowned a god with "Overlord Farewell", and cooperating with him was the biggest praise for newcomers.
Ah Jiao cherished and acted very carefully.
The Spring Festival of 2008 is approaching, the movie is approaching, and the south is suddenly hit by a huge snow disaster, and countless people are trapped in the ice and snow.
In Hong Kong, a terrifying man-made disaster is also slowly igniting a spark.
On January 26, a friend sent a set of photos to Gillian, and she almost threw away her phone after clicking it on.
When she took these pictures a few years ago, she was worried about this day, and now disaster is really coming.
At the end of January, the nude photos scandal exploded, and all the efforts she had since gillian entered the industry were wiped out.
She didn't dare to step out of the house for months, and she didn't dare to open the curtains during the day. She couldn't find any coping method except to hide, crying every day.
At that time, the Internet had covered all aspects of life, and in just 10 days, the number of photos on the Internet went from 100, 400, to 1,000 viral.
Gillian collapses at home, but Asa is besieged by the outside world. Everyone came to ask her about her, and all the work was paralyzed.
In order not to involve Asa, half a month after the incident, Gillian decided to hold a press conference.
In fact, even the Hong Kong police at that time had not yet figured out the ins and outs, and Jiao Jiao did not know how to respond and say anything.
Before entering the market, agent Huo Wenxi asked her to eat half a sedative.
At the reception that was scheduled for half an hour, Gillian spoke for two minutes and fell silent and embarrassed.
Seeing that she was helpless and could no longer say a word, Huo Wenxi knew that this matter was over, and silently went up to drag Ah Jiao away.
At that press conference, everyone only remembered the sentence "very silly and naïve".
Although the elders in the circle, Wang Mingquan and Bai Yunqin, supported Ah Jiao, "the first to stand up, have courage, and be great." ”
But her answer, instead of saving herself, made matters worse.
Participated in the TVB "Sending Warmth in the Snow" disaster relief party, and there were more than 200 letters complaining about Gillian that night.
The industry did not dare to use Ajiao anymore, and her endorsements at Disney, Oops and mainland companies were all terminated.
The Twins concert, planned by the Emperor, was shelved indefinitely; the sisters' co-production film "Apprentice Black Rose" was banned.
In the "Mei Lanfang" drama that was close to the end, Chen Kaige deleted all the scenes of Ah Jiao, and her name completely disappeared into the "Mei Lanfang" crew.
Everything about Gillian pressed the pause button.
During that time, she didn't even dare to look up when she went out, and countless times she thought about committing suicide for a hundred times.
According to the Emperor's revenue plan, Twins is expected to earn 100 million yuan for the company in 2008.
Asa, which was supported by herself, only earned HK$8 million that year.
In order to repay the monthly mortgage of HK$200,000, Gillian sold the house at a loss of 1.3 million and borrowed money from the company to study.
This matter ended with Chen Guanxi announcing his retirement from the circle, but the reality of the pursuit and killing of Ah Jiao had just begun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="315" > redemption and confront denial</h1>
In the spring of 2009, a high black curtain was erected around the mansion of Emperor Boss Yang Shoucheng.
A large group of reporters saw that the secret film could not be taken, and they were anxious to look under the wall roots.
In the mansion garden restaurant, TVB Chen Zhiyun's questions were more acute than one, and Ah Jiao answered them difficultly.
An interview with Gillian "Zhiyun Rice Bureau"
Asked about that year, she said she didn't want to mention it again. But the host did not buy it, and poked at the sore spot:
Chen: Why would you be willing to take some such intimate photos with him?
Gillian: I... Don't know, really don't know, maybe... Don't want to lose it...
The interview lasted 3 hours, and in the non-stop chat, Gillian cried more than normal conversation, and she poured out her feelings and knowledge of the incident. Whoever presses the question again, that's all.
The same response, Cecilia Cheung cried and was accepted sympathetically;
It can't go to Gillian here, and whatever she says, the public will not accept it.
After this interview, Gillian announced her comeback, but no one wanted to look at her in the eye.
Participated in the interview of Hunan Tv's "News Parties", the program was submitted for approval many times, repeatedly rejected, and finally banned.
At that time, Ah Jiao, even appearing in the news, was considered to be polluting the audio-visual.
This circle makes people feel like ashes, but she has no way to retreat.
Gillian does not covet this Vanity Fair, but if she does not shoot or sing, her grandparents, mother and sister will have to live a hard life.
The mortgage owed, the company's money is also waiting for her. Most importantly, retiring is equivalent to scrapping Twins by hand.
Ignoring the yin and yang strange ridicule of the crowd, Ah Jiao returned to the public eye with a hard scalp.
In 2010, Twins, who had been away from the stage for two years, held a "Everybody Bounce Up" concert at Hung Hom Stadium.
That day, Gillian and Asa cried uncontrollably.
I'm scared, it's our last Twins concert.
"Everybody Bounces Up" album, Gillian changed the previous youth route, began to take the mature wind, and bid farewell to the "jade girl" image forever.
Participating in the mainland variety show "Serving People with Virtue", Ah Jiao was afraid of saying the wrong thing and did not dare to open her mouth.
Guo Degang's eyes were sharp, and he quipped:
When we get here, can we say whatever we want? ”
Seeing more vitriol and meanness, such a thing Ah Jiao has not heard for several years.
In the TV series "The Spirit Pearl of the Legend of Nuwa", Ah Jiao won the female lead color and won the Best Actress Award in the Legend category of the 8th Huading Awards for this film.
The Spirit Orb of the Legend of Nuwa
Although it is difficult to return to the pomp and circumstance of the Tianhou period, Ah Jiao did not stop where she was.
Psychologist Adler once said that every life story is the three sides of the triangular prism.
One side says "All that person is not good", the other side writes "Poor me", which is ignored by most people, often the third side: "What to do in the future".
Going around, Gillian found the third side of her story.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="382" > unyielding and not short of money</h1>
In 2010, Twins returned to the public eye.
Few people know that at this time, 28-year-old Asa is divorcing Zheng Zhongji.
If it weren't for the divorce declaration, the crowd wouldn't even know asa was married.
Back in 2006, the 24-year-old Asa was nominated for the Academy Award for Film, making more than 10 films a year, and her portrait was made into Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, becoming the youngest artist to enter the museum.
In "Chasing August 15", Asa meets Jeong Joong-ki, the prince of Universal Records. The two fell in love secretly and married underground.
People often have a clear eye for other people's affairs, and when it is their turn to "black under the lights", Sa, who once advised Ah Jiao, married a husband who was troubled by scandals.
The marriage lasted until 2010, when Asa offered to divorce her, and she did not want a penny of property and left the house.
Because at that time, Asa, who had been debuting for 10 years, had accumulated 200 million assets. The 5 properties under the name are increasing in value every year, with an annual income of 30 million yuan, known as the entertainment industry "little rich woman".
Without the support of others, Asa straightened her waist and said goodbye to the wronged marriage.
In 2010, Chen Weiting and Ah Jiao finished acting in "Qiandu", and turned around and liked their sister Ah Sa, who was 3 years older than himself.
One is a quasi-Golden Horse Shadow Queen, and the other is a newcomer, but Asa does not shy away from it and generously talks about sister-brother love.
This relationship, the outside world hardly heard any twists and turns, Asa's career as usual, every year smoothly.
Compared to intermittent explosive force, stable output is the strongest.
Asa filmed, the box office performance is not bad, so far she starred in the film cumulative box office has exceeded 600 million.
Cooperated with Li Bingbing in "The King of Guns" and cut 100 million at the box office; played Xiaoqing in "The Legend of the White Snake", with a box office of 200 million, nominated for the Golden Horse Award.
Until this year, the 39-year-old Asa still did not stop desperately stepping, and the new movie "77 Times Touched Her" is about to be released.
Over the years, Ah Sa said goodbye to Chen Weiting, and now her boyfriend is Shi Hengcong.
Dare to lose, is the beginning of dare to love. And daring to hate is the beginning of freedom.
When it came time to go crazy, Asa was ruthless.
When it was time to be humble, she also put herself very low.
In the movie "The Legend of the White Snake", someone compared her to Maggie Cheung's version of the green snake, and Sa hurriedly waved her hand.
Maggie Cheung is my goddess, no comparison.
I'm already happy to play the role she's played.
Stills from The Legend of the White Snake
On the first day of entering the industry, looking at Ah Sa and Ah Jiao's Huo Wenxi thoughtfully, as a senior agent, she saw through it at a glance.
Asa is clever, Ajiao is easy to believe in people, and it is easier to be deceived.
Even in love with Shi Hengcong, Asa still froze 20 eggs in 2019.
She always leaves a way back for herself, which sounds thin and cold, but Asa has the most comfortable life in reality.
Because no one can accompany another person for a lifetime, whether it is marriage, parent-child, or between fans and idols.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="447" > Past belongs to death The future belongs to itself</h1>
In 2019, "Actors Please Be in Place" was launched.
Chen Kaige, Zhao Wei, Li Shaohong, and Guo Jingming sat together on the stage, waiting for the actors to enter one by one.
VCR played to "The History of the Demise of Romanticism", and the picture of Gillian and Ge You came out, screaming on the spot.
But no one is more mixed than Chen Kaige, who deleted all of Gillian's scenes in Mei Lanfang after the nude photos scandal.
After 11 years, the girl of that year fell generously, dressed in white, and her face was like yesterday.
Chen Kaige turned his head to Zhao Wei:
In fact, this child acted quite well, that is, in "Mei Lanfang", he acted very well.
It's not so much recognition as it is his apology for the past.
It's been 13 years since the leaked nude photos gate.
13 years is enough for a newborn to grow into a primary school graduate, and a wolf has completed his life.
In 13 years, the 39-year-old Asa is worth more than 100 million, tasted love, marriage, and still has the joy of a young girl.
And Gillian spent 13 years and did not learn to be smart and smooth.
Someone asked her, if you could have a superpower, what would you most like to have? ”
The ability to distinguish between good guys and bad guys.
In March 2020, Ajiao and Lai Hongguo reached an agreement, ending a short 14-month marriage.
Ben Si's aunt did not learn to recognize "good" people, but in the bumpy experience, she slowly faded the timidity of last year.
At 2 a.m., in the hotel bathroom, after a dizziness, Gillian hit her head on the washstand and fainted on the ground.
By the time consciousness came, the blood on his forehead had soaked half of his face. She dialed the phone of her crew colleagues and took herself to the hospital, the process was calm.
The next day, Joey Yung visited the hospital and saw more than 10 needles and threads in Ah Jiao's eyebrow bone, and her frightened and tight hand trembled slightly.
The aunt on the hospital bed softly comforted:
You forgot? Concealer is the greatest invention of the century.
He said, pointing to his brow bone, and smiled mischievously.
