When it comes to Hong Kong actresses in the 1980s and 1990s, many people will say the word "stunning" compared to many people.
It is also true that there were many beautiful women in that era, such as Li Jiaxin, Cecilia Cheung, Maggie Cheung and so on. They are beautiful in their own way, like the immortals who have left their own worlds, floating in this world.
Among the many goddesses, Wu Qianlian's appearance can be said to be not outstanding at all, but her unique temperament still supports her to become a unique presence in the entertainment industry.
Even Andy Lau, the Heavenly King, was obsessed with her.
In the 1990s, Andy Lau had become popular all over the country.
At that time, filming in the crew of "Heavenly Love", I wanted to talk to Wu Qianlian, but I did not expect that Wu Qianlian directly rejected him: "I'm sorry, you are not my idol." ”
At that time, Andy Lau, not to mention how embarrassed he was, estimated that he wanted to find a seam to drill into.
After 22 years, in an interview, a host asked Andy Lau who is closest to the screen heroine he has worked with?
Andy Lau didn't even think about it, and directly said the name Wu Qianlian, yes, it is because Wu Qianlian is too personal!
At first glance, it is not happy, and it is addictive to watch for a long time, and this kind of enduring goddess is also rare in the entertainment circle where beautiful women are like clouds.
However, over the years, a generation of goddessEskrit Wu Qianlian has disappeared, what is the reason for this?
This time, we will talk about this goddess who makes Andy Lau remembered - Wu Qianlian.
First, when he was a child, he looked ugly and was sent to someone else's house by his grandfather
Wu Qianlian's story takes place in Taiwan.
In 1968, Wu Qianlian was born in an ordinary family.
But Wu Qianlian, who was just born, looks a little unpleasant.
Not only is the skin dark, but the eyes are small and single eyelids.
In the face of the child's appearance, the parents also sighed.
Because she was ugly, Grandpa gave her directly to a relative who would not have children.
The adoptive parents' first reaction when they saw the child was to refuse, but if you think about it, for so many years, they did not have a son and a half daughter, so they had to leave the girl behind.
Later, Grandpa was worried that his granddaughter would be abused in other people's homes, and within a few days, he came back with a hug.
At this moment, no one expected that Wu Qianlian could change from an ugly duckling to a big star.
Wu Qianlian has shown herself the cells of her literary and artistic youth since she was a child, and likes to sing, dance and read.
At that time, her biggest dream of life was to travel around and see the outside world.
After the college entrance examination, with her love for art, she resolutely applied for the Drama Department of the National Academy of Arts.
However, after going to college, the family conditions were not very good, so she worked while studying to earn her own living expenses.
It may be that God took good care of this girl, and Wu Qianlian's life changed drastically by chance.
In 1990, the crew of "Heavenly Love" was ready to start shooting, and the director wanted to find a vegetarian or a newcomer in Taiwan to be the heroine.
At that time, director Du Qifeng met Wu Qianlian and was deeply attracted by the girl's unique temperament, and directly chose her as the heroine of the film.
Later, Wu Qianlian laughed at herself and said:
"I felt like I looked stubborn, I didn't have eye-catching double eyelids, and I definitely couldn't be called a beautiful woman. It is no exaggeration to say that I am the worst among the many beautiful women, so I am fortunate to be the most conspicuous. ”
Wu Qianlian, who has just been a sophomore, starred in a movie for the first time because of this opportunity, and directly cooperated with the famous Andy Lau.
Andy Lau was the dream god of countless girls in that era, and it was precisely because of this cooperation that Wu Qianlian also became the object of envy of countless young girls.
After the release of the film, the response was great, and it was unanimously praised by the public, and at the same time completely changed Wu Qianlian's life.
But this girl is very sober and does not lose her eyes for fame and fortune.
When filming a confrontation with Andy Lau, Wu Qianlian was extremely calm, saying that she was not a fan of Andy Lau and would not use the gossip with Andy Lau to increase her popularity.
From the film, you can see that Wu Qianlian is not a beautiful woman in the traditional sense, but her temperament is indeed very outstanding.
After becoming famous, some people advised her not to study directly, and she could already make money anyway.
However, Wu Qianlian is still very assertive and knows the importance of knowledge.
So I insisted on my original intention and studied while filming until graduation.
Second, Wu Qianlian became the "male god harvester", sweeping 4 heavenly kings and 6 movie emperors in 4 years
In 1993, Wu Qianlian, who was thriving, cooperated with another heavenly king, Aaron Kwok.
She starred in the movie "Heavenly Love 2 Heaven and Earth For a Long Time", playing the role of Xiao Qian in the film.
At this time, she not only started her acting career, but also released her own personal album.
In fact, Wu Qianlian's singing talent was favored by Li Zongsheng at a very early age, and Li Zongsheng admired her voice and unique singing style.
After the release of her solo album, she once again ushered in the peak of her career.
Subsequently, Wu Qianlian won the appreciation of director Ang Lee with the super popularity she had accumulated over the years, and starred in "Eating Men and Women".
Wu Qianlian is a very assertive girl, who insists on her own ideas and personality when working with director Ang Lee.
Once Ang Lee asked her to wear high heels to act, but Wu Qianlian did not know why, and she refused to wear high heels to act.
Such a stubborn Wu Qianlian made Li An also helpless, and had to comply with her request.
It wasn't until after the film was released that Ang Lee discovered that the effect of not wearing high heels was much better than the effect of wearing high heels.
In 1995, she and Liang Chaowei co-starred in a movie "Waiting for You to Come Back".
She plays two roles in one of them, one is the ghost of the old house, and the other is Liang Chaowei's girlfriend.
At this time, Wu Qianlian's acting skills have been greatly improved, and in just five or six years, she has gone from an ordinary college student to the position of a first-line star step by step.
After that, Wu Qianlian tried to change her style and co-starred with Ren Xianqi in the TV series "Divine Eagle Hero", playing the little dragon girl in the TV series.
Wu Qianlian plays the little dragon girl in a unique way, she is dressed in black, cold and gorgeous.
However, due to the fact that the image of the little dragon girl Qingli has already taken root in the psychology of the audience, this time the idea she was insulted by the audience.
The audience said that such an image subverted the appearance of the little dragon girl in their minds, and it was a very failed appearance.
She was sneered at by many people: "More and more inferior, after becoming famous, it swells, how can you change the role at will?" ”
But aside from the consistent image of the little dragon girl, Wu Qianlian's version of the little dragon girl can indeed make people shine, but the little dragon girl in white is deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience.
In addition to working with a number of top actors, Wu Qianlian also cooperated with the goddess Mei Yanfang to shoot "Half Life".
With this TV series, she has won the love of more audiences.
In the 8 years from 1990 to 1998, Wu Qianlian's acting career reached its peak. Due to her high popularity, directors in the mainland have also begun to like her.
In 1999, Wu Qianlian worked with Feng Xiaogang to play the heroine of "Endless". With this movie, Wu Qianlian also successfully gained super popularity in the mainland.
However, at her peak, Wu Qianlian suddenly announced that she would temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry.
She became very Buddhist and lost interest in the acting career she loved most.
In fact, a long time ago, Wu Qianlian wanted to quit the entertainment circle, but now she released the news and disappeared.
Many people are puzzled by this, and have speculated about the reason, which may be that they no longer want to go through the muddy waters of the entertainment industry, but the truth is probably only clear to the parties.
Third, eventually encounter love, Buddhist life
Although Wu Qianlian's acting career has been smooth, her emotional life has not been smooth.
At that time, the screen couple she cooperated with Andy Lau was the most perfect golden boy in the hearts of many people.
Andy Lau even invited Wu Qianlian to be a guest at the concert, and expressed his love to her on one knee in public.
But Wu Qianlian said that she already had someone she liked, and this ending made many people feel sorry.
It turned out that she and actress Luo Zonghua had been in love for many years and had been engaged in 1993.
Luo Zonghua also proposed to Wu Qianlian in public, saying that he wanted to marry her as soon as possible.
But soon after, the two suddenly announced that they had broken up, and the love run that had been in love for 12 years also ended.
Some people say that it was because Luo Zonghua had violent tendencies that led to the breakup, and the truth we do not know.
Soon after Luo Zonghua and Wu Qianlian broke up, they married a girl 15 years younger than him.
Wu Qianlian said that she had long been relieved and was particularly generous to wrap them in five-figure red envelopes to congratulate them.
She also never said bad things about her predecessor Luo Zonghua and has always lived her life in a low profile.
Since then, Wu Qianlian has traveled alone, traveling the world alone to explore and experience. During this time she learned to sail and obtained a diving license.
Love will be late, but it will never be absent.
In 2007, 39-year-old Wu Qianlian quietly married.
Her agent revealed that at that time, in the whole wedding scene, there were only Wu Qianlian and his wife, and no one else.
For her husband's information, Wu Qianlian did not disclose it to the outside world at all.
It is said that her husband is a businessman in the pharmaceutical industry, who has lived in Shanghai with his family for a long time, and the family is very happy and harmonious.
Wu Qianlian made no secret of her current situation and said generously: "I have a son, who is already two years old, and our family is very happy together." By this time, she had become a good wife and mother.
Since her debut, Wu Qianlian has always been a solitary person, never like to participate in the entertainment industry's banquet activities.
She likes to be alone in the house quietly, reading and watering flowers.
Even if it is a long trip, it is mostly a trip, living a peaceful life like ordinary people.
Privately, she was known for her frugality and simplicity, without any big star shelf.
Always dressed simply, lightly packed, packed before eating, always in economy class on the plane.
Wu Qianlian was also photographed eating noodles with her husband and two children at a ramen shop in Lanzhou, looking no different from a vegetarian.
Now we have rarely heard any reports about Wu Qianlian, and once someone interviewed her and asked her what she expected from her future life.
At that time, Wu Qianlian said that she especially wanted to be a hermit and live such a life after she earned enough money.
Over the years, as light as a chrysanthemum, she has truly lived the secluded life she has always dreamed of.
Even after disappearing for so many years, the figure of the relict independence still remains in the hearts of many people.
