Appearance is justice, we have already entered an era of looking at faces, and life has always been very realistic, no matter in which era of good-looking people, often more likely to live and die, after all, the vase also has its value - eye-raising.
However, some people, obviously, can eat by the face, but they rely on talent, such as: in the 40s of the last century, together with Jin Yan, Zhao Dan, Comfort, Tao Jin, Liu Qiong, who was known as the "Five Emperor Superstars" of the Chinese film industry.
He is tall and handsome, dashing and handsome, with a strong aristocratic atmosphere, and he is the Prince Charming who came out of the book, and he is not only impressive in appearance, but also talented.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "only better than Zi Jian, if pan An looks like Pan An", people who are better looking than you and smarter than you are working hard, so why should we ordinary people be embarrassed?
Liu Qiong, formerly known as Liu Boyao, was born in 1912 in Xiangyin, Hunan Province, a family of scholars, influenced by the family, he liked to read from an early age, and also had a strong interest in art.
When he was a teenager, he read a large number of Chinese and foreign masterpieces, especially the works of the great Russian writers Pushkin, Tolstoy, Turgenev and others at the end of the nineteenth century had a great influence on him.
There is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beautiful jade in the book. He felt the beauty in the book, and as he extended his aesthetics, he became obsessed with theater and film.
Therefore, although he studied law in college, he still had a strong interest in acting, and when he was studying at Shanghai Law School, he also formed the "Spring and Autumn Drama Club" with his classmates.
Although he is good at reading, but he is not a nerd who often lives in the dormitory, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, Liu Qiong's height has reached 1.86 meters, and his figure is slender and straight, with a ghostly face, how can he not cause all kinds of flower idiots to scream?
It is said that the boy who can play is the most handsome, and Liu Qiong, as the main force of the school basketball team, naturally handsome to a new height, he is agile, beautiful posture, shooting is even more dashing and handsome, even the teacher who watched him play ball can't help but praise: Beautiful, teenager!
It can be seen how lethal Liu Qiong's "beauty" is, and he has also attracted the attention of Jin Yan, who was already famous at that time, but he was a basketball fan.
Jin Yan often goes to Liu Qiong's school to play basketball, so the two gradually become acquainted, and also became a golfer, so Jin Yan said to Liu Qiong: Long feet, Nong basketball play well, filming must be no problem, and Allah to the studio to white phase (play).
Liu Qiong originally liked to perform, and Jin Yan's invitation was undoubtedly dozing to the pillow, so Liu Qiong, who should have become a judge or a lawyer, was brought into the show business circle by Jin Yan before graduating from college.
In 1934, the 22-year-old Liu Qiong played a road construction worker in "The Great Road" starring Jin Yan, because it was a supporting role, and the name of newcomer Liu Qiong ranked last among the 12 actors, but a person was too good to always have an unstoppable light.
In the four volumes and four issues of the "Lianhua Pictorial" published at that time, it was introduced: "Liu Qiong has male beauty and a very good expression, and as soon as "The Great Road" is published, it should be able to give people a good impression." Since then, Liu Qiong's name has begun to enter the audience's field of vision.
From 1934 to 1937, Liu Qiong shot 14 films in Lianhua, but in these films, he played a supporting role.
First of all, as a newcomer, there must always be a stage of groping for growth, and secondly, the United Chinese talents at that time were abundant, and his performance was not yet fixed, naturally there was no opportunity for him to pick the beam, and the accumulation of thick hair was more conducive to the growth of an actor.
At that time, Liu Qiong liked Hollywood movies, he learned the walking of Jallie Cooper, learned the language of Little Van Punk, learned the handsomeness of Clark Gable, learned the strength of Henry Fonda, and also had a special love for Paul Mauni's acting skills, so he integrated their advantages and formed his own unique way of acting.
At that time, the situation was not stable, the shelling was flying, just when the country was in danger, the world was rising and falling, the pirates had the responsibility, the soldiers carried guns to the battlefield, the civilian population criticized the pen, and as actors, many people participated in the rescue drama team and rushed to the rear.
However, Liu Qiong was ordered to stay in Shanghai to participate in the theatrical film movement on the isolated island, and from 1938 to the next eight years, he successively filmed 23 films such as "Leaving hate heaven", "Gold and Silver World", "Du Shiniang", "Gone with the Wind", "Parting from Life and Death", plus 12 dramas.
At that time, filmmakers could only make new moves in a harsh environment, they shot "costume films", borrowing ancient metaphors to the present, he also shot "fashion films", exposing the darkness of reality in silence.
"Life and Death Parting" was his masterpiece at that time, and it was also his first attempt to screen social films, at this time, Liu Qiong, whether it was acting skills or creation, gradually matured, and he also became an unshakable young student in the film industry from a fledgling newcomer in the film industry.
People are afraid of being famous pigs are afraid of strong, with his popularity, the major forces living in Shanghai at that time had the heart to win him over, in order not to be dragged into the water, he could only endure the pain of leaving the film world, and successively joined the Shanghai Drama Art Society, Tianfeng and other drama clubs to star in dramas.
In 1941, he met Di Fan, who was 8 years younger than himself, because he starred in the drama "Yang Guifei", and Di Fan was the female secret agent Bagu in "Yangcheng Dark Sentinel", but at that time, Di Fan did not have a good feeling for Liu Qiong, and even had a deep prejudice.
At that time, the director Fei Mu was very dissatisfied with tang Minghuang's actors, so when the drama was about to be staged, Liu Qiong parachuted in and squeezed out the original actors, Di Fan thought that the director was simply because of the box office role change, felt that this was disrespectful to the previous actors, so Liu Qiong was also disgusted by her.
It was not until 1945, when she and Liu Qiong cooperated again and put aside their prejudices, that Di Fan realized that he had misunderstood Liu Qiong, and with the deepening of his understanding, he found that the two were like-minded and interested in each other, and unconsciously sparked a spark of love when they talked about each other.
In 1946, the two held a wedding, one entered the palace of marriage at the same time, and gave birth to their eldest daughter in the following year, the two lived a harmonious and beautiful life after marriage, and with each other's support, their careers advanced by leaps and bounds, and they were an enviable couple.
In fact, Di Fan is already Liu Qiong's second wife, and his ex-wife is Yan Fei, an actress who is known as the "Four Little Heavenly Kings" of the Mingyue Society, along with Zhou Xuan, Ouyang Feiying, and Bai Hong, nicknamed "Silly Big Sister".
Yan Fei is the sister of Zhou Xuan's ex-husband Yan Hua, Yan Hua is also Yan Jun's cousin, and Yan Jun is Li Lihua's husband, so Liu Qiong, Zhou Xuan, and Li Lihua are considered in-laws, and I have to say that this world is really small.
The relationship between Liu Qiong and Yan Fei is actually quite good, but since they married in 1935, the two have not had children, and Liu Qiong is the only son in the family, which has caused dissatisfaction from Liu Qiong's mother.
This eventually became the most important fuse for the breakdown of the marriage between the two, and as compensation, Liu Qiong left the bungalow at home to Yan Fei.
Although the two have no chance to join hands with Bai tou, Yan Fei still evaluates Liu Qiong like this: Liu Qiong is a good person, he is humble and docile, he pursues his career with enthusiasm, he is frank and sincere to his friends, there is no ordinary man's arbitrary style, even if he is divorced, he thinks about others everywhere, never imposes on others, which may not be done by other men, and losing him is the loss of my life.
Although it is not kind to divorce because of inability to have children, Liu Qiong is a filial piety, no filial piety has three, no posterity is greater, perhaps it is to understand his embarrassment, Yan Fei did not blame him more!
With the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liu Qiong returned to the film world again, and since then she has starred in "The House of Loyalty", "The Rejuvenation of the Earth", "No Love", "The Vengeance of Liangshan", "Fire Phoenix" and so on.
At the same time, he also began to try to direct some works, such as "The Debt of the Rich", "Ode to Youth", and "Song of Youth" (co-directed with Hu Xiaofeng).
In 1952, he joined the Shanghai Film Studio and starred as Tian Zhenhua, the basketball director in "Women's Basketball No. 5", La Ruoe, the director of joint defense in "Mountain Bells Ringing Horse Gang", the Kuomintang captain in "Sea Soul", Xu Lingjun's father Xu Jingyou in "Wrangler", and Tian Geng in "Death and the Girl".
After 1956, he began to work as a director to transfer behind the scenes, and directed "Female Pony", "No. 51 Soldier Station", "Ashima", "Li Huiniang (Peking Opera)" and other awards, and won many awards.
He has starred in more than 20 plays and 73 films in his lifetime, and he has always been religious and serious about art, but time will not stop because of your career contribution.
In 2002, the 89-year-old Liu Qiong died of lung cancer, leaving his wife who had been together for 56 years to leave alone, after his death, the sad Di Fan did not want to move with his two daughters abroad, nor did he want his daughter to worry, so he moved to the nursing home alone until his death in 2015.
As an old artist, his handsome figure makes us remember it vividly, and his outstanding talent has brilliantly for an era, admiring a person, starting from appearance, respect for talent, in line with character, long than kindness, and finally character, and he is one of the models!
