Recently, Hong Kong actress Liu Yucui shared a dancing video with netizens on social platforms.
In the video, Liu Yucui, who is 54 years old, wears a sports and casual outfit, and has a refreshing and neat short hair,
Performing a very funny dance in front of the camera, it is not difficult to see that she was in a very good mood that day.
Speaking of Liu Yucui, she can be called one of the first Hong Kong local actors to become popular in the mainland.
In that era of martial arts dramas and costume dramas, Liu Yucui brought us a lot of classic screen roles.
To say that the most impressive thing to everyone must be "Princess Jianning" and "Ah Zi".
In March 2019, the main creators of the 97th edition of "Tianlong Babu", after more than 20 years,
Gathered on the mainland variety show stage for the first time, starring Huang Rihua, Chen Haomin, Li Ruotong, as well as Liu Yucui and other actors,
They all appeared in the original costumes of the play that year, and re-interpreted several classic clips in it.
Among them, "A Zi", played by Liu Yucui, called a deeply affectionate "brother-in-law" when he appeared,
He hugged Huang Rihua, the actor of "Xiao Feng".
The wonderful restoration of this scene, the audience who watched the scene and in front of the TV set, were moved, and their eyes were red.
At that time, it triggered a wave of super memories to kill, making fans feel as if they were back to the happy time of chasing dramas in that year.
"Princess Jianning" is ruthless and willful, and slightly cruel, "A Zi" is ignorant and greedy, which makes people love and hate,
At that time, these two difficult roles, after being brilliantly performed by Liu Yucui, were given a vivid life.
Because the acting skills are too good, the audience can no longer distinguish the difference between Liu Yucui and the role, and the two have long been integrated.
Especially "A Zi", Liu Yucui once said that when he was encountered by fans in real life,
The name that everyone shouted out to her was not "Liu Yucui", but "A Zi".
In this case, Liu Yucui was still very concerned about this phenomenon when he was young, but later after slowly maturing,
She also figured out which name it was not important, what was important was that the audience remembered themselves.
Liu Yucui, born in 1966 in a special family in Hong Kong, her father is a truck driver,
Although the income is not high, not rich, but married two wives,
Liu Yucui's birth mother is the original match, a total of 9 children have been born, Liu Yucui ranked sixth,
The little wife married by the father has a total of 8 children, a family of more than 20 people, living together.
Because only the father is the source of income for the family, the life of a large family depends on the father's income.
So Liu Yucui has been living a tight life since she was a child, between her and her father,
There is no warmth and warmth like between ordinary fathers and daughters, only harshness and alienation.
It can be said that Liu Yucui's childhood was very unfortunate, especially when he saw his mother and father,
There is also the presence of another woman, and these shadows have been subtly affecting her,
And directly caused her to be an adult, treating the opposite sex and marriage, there is no sense of security.
After Liu Yucui went to middle school, the family's economic situation began to improve greatly.
Because Liu Yucui's older brothers and sisters have begun to go out to work to earn money and supplement the family.
In 1984, 18-year-old Liu Yucui began to fall into a period of confusion after completing secondary school.
At that time, she did not have a little concept of her future planning.
For those ordinary ordinary jobs, Liu Yucui was not interested, and felt that it was too boring and boring.
Later, under the introduction of her sister, she went to an advertising agency and worked as an ordinary clerk.
However, after less than half a year, she took the initiative to resign and changed several jobs one after another.
Until 1987, Liu Yucui accidentally saw an admissions advertisement near her home.
It was the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts at that time, recruiting actors and trainees for the society.
This advertisement made Liu Yucui at that time suddenly become interested and began to study.
A few days later, Liu Yucui secretly went to register his name without his family.
With the mentality of trying, Liu Yucui, who did not take it seriously, actually went all the way through the pass,
In the end, he became the lucky one of the thousands and was officially hired by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
Although he was fortunately admitted, the high tuition fee became the biggest problem in front of Liu Yucui.
She had to use the two months before the start of school to work part-time to earn money.
However, after two months, she earned less than half of the tuition fee.
In the end, Liu Yucui had to go home and confess the matter to his father.
Before confessing, Liu Yucui originally thought that she would be scolded loudly by her father, and even directly prevent her from studying.
Who knows, after listening to her words, my father did not get angry a little, but went to get money for her tuition.
Her father's move not only surprised Liu Yucui, but also made her have a great improvement in her father from her heart.
However, at that time, she still did not know that her father was terminally ill and deliberately concealed it from her.
A few months later, Liu Yucui, who had already entered the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, suddenly received the bad news of his father's death.
At that time, without any mental preparation, she suddenly collapsed in the classroom, and her mood could not be calmed.
At that time, she really realized that her love for her father was so deep.
Unfortunately, she would never have the opportunity to filial piety to her father again.
Since then, with regret for her father, Liu Yucui began to study harder.
Carefully learn the basic homework of each class of performance, and actively ask teachers and classmates for advice,
These efforts and efforts, after a while, brought her back.
In 1990, Liu Yucui was recommended by the school to participate in the audition for the movie "Temple Street Queen".
The main actor of this movie was Zhang Aijia, a well-known senior actor at that time.
At the beginning, Liu Yucui, who looked ordinary, was not looked at by the director, and later in the exchange with the screenwriter,
Liu Yucui not only elaborated on her understanding of the role, she also came to an improvisational performance on the spot.
These two points surprised the screenwriter at the time and immediately decided to use her.
In this way, Liu Yucui relied on her unremitting efforts to get the first big screen role in her life.
Later, after the film was released, Liu Yucui's wonderful performance won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and Newcomer in one fell swoop.
She became the most popular among the hong Kong debut newcomer actors that year.
Debut is the peak, such a legendary experience, even if it is put into the entertainment industry now, it is also rare.
Seeing this, there must be netizens who will be amazed, completely unable to imagine that Liu Yucui has such a glorious history,
So the question is, since there is such a high starting point, then why did Liu Yucui later become a supporting role green leaf?
In fact, the root cause of all this lies in a wrong decision of hers.
Or rather, it is because Liu Yucui is too Buddhist personality.
It turned out that long before Liu Yucui won the award and became famous, Hong Kong Radio Television (TVB) signed her.
And this contract, once signed, is ten years, and the salary is only 500 yuan per month.
For signing TVB, Liu Yucui, who has always had a big heart, did not think too long-term,
In her view at that time, making movies or making TV series, there is no big difference, anyway, it is all performance,
It is precisely because of this that after Liu Yucui became famous with the movie "Temple Street Queen",
She had to give up the tall film circle that many female stars wanted to squeeze into, and instead began to make TV dramas.
But then again, if it weren't for this mistake.
How can we see Liu Yucui's wonderful performance in the TV series? Everything may have been predestined.
From 1991, Liu Yucui began to appear in a series of television works produced by TVB.
At that time, Liu Yucui looked more exquisite than ordinary people, but placed in the entertainment circle of beautiful women,
It can be said that there is no competitiveness, whether it is looks or height and figure, she belongs to the inconspicuous one,
These physical limitations have also become the biggest factor in Liu Yucui's restrictions on taking over plays.
Therefore, most of the roles arranged by TVB for her are supporting roles of female two and three supporting characters with personality characteristics.
Despite this, Liu Yucui still completed the performance well with his solid performance skills.
In 1992, Hong Kong's New Yibao Records found Liu Yucui because she was optimistic about her award-winning status.
Decided to promote her as a singer, and in the same year, he created a music album for her, "Notsosorry".
At that time, after the release of this album, it received a very good market response.
The next year, the record company hit the iron while it was hot, and produced a second music album for her, "Liu Yucui",
This album made Liu Yucui win the Best Newcomer Singer Award of the year, and the media was full of praise.
But at this time, Liu Yucui, who had to work as both filming and singing at the same time, felt extremely distracted and tired.
Soon after, she officially terminated her contract with New Yibao under the obstinate will, completely bidding farewell to her singer status.
Since then, Liu Yucui has put all her energy into acting and treated it wholeheartedly.
In 1997, the martial arts drama "Tianlong Babu" adapted from Jin Yong's novel officially met with the audience.
"A Zi", played by Liu Yucui, has become one of the most impressive characters in the play for all audiences.
She perfectly presented Ah Zi's "elf weirdness" and "cold-blooded and affectionate", one by one.
It was as if she was Jin Yong's "A Zi" prototype, which had been perfectly integrated.
Because of this drama, mainland audiences have known Liu Yucui, even though more than 20 years have passed.
"Tianlong Babu" has also been remade in countless versions, but as long as "A Zi" is mentioned,
What comes to mind in the audience's mind must be the version played by Liu Yucui, and the classic is surpassed by no one.
In the same year, in another martial arts drama "Deer DingJi", which was also adapted from Jin Yong's novel,
Liu Yucui also brought everyone a vivid image of "Princess Jianning", although the origins of the two characters are very different,
The character personalities are also very different, but Liu Yucui has successfully shaped each role with her powerful acting skills.
And all of them are highly restored from the original work, which has become the absolute highlight of the play.
Although Liu Yucui's acting skills are obvious to all, tvB has arranged small roles for her.
She never had a stage to show her skills, and over time, coupled with the high workload and pressure, depression found her.
Liu Yucui herself recalled that in the years of depression, her state was very bad.
Living in a negative and pessimistic mood every day, most of the work arranged by the company was pushed away by her.
When she came to work that had to go, she quickly returned home after hastily coping, closed herself off, and did not want to see anyone.
Later, thanks to Liu Yucui's boyfriend outside the circle, he has been around to take care of her without abandonment.
The boyfriend tried to take her out on a trip to relax, make food for her, and so on.
It lasted for 3 years, and Liu Yucui finally came out of the shadow of depression.
This illness experience not only made Liu Yucui have more new understanding of life,
It also made her relationship with her boyfriend more indestructible.
On Liu Yucui's 40th birthday, her boyfriend prepared a diamond ring and a bouquet of roses to propose to her romantically.
But at that time, Liu Yucui was still trapped in the shadow of his parents' tragic marriage and did not have the courage to face it.
So she cruelly rejected her boyfriend's marriage proposal, but this move did not affect the feelings of the two,
Because the boyfriend has long understood the real reason why Liu Yucui does not dare to enter the marriage, he loves her even more.
One day a few years later, After attending her girlfriend's wedding anniversary celebration, Liu Yucui suddenly had the idea of getting married.
So she told her boyfriend about this idea and took the initiative to propose to him, but what she did not expect was that
Like her at the beginning, her boyfriend also rejected her marriage proposal and said something that touched her very much.
It is that the boyfriend does not want Liu Yucui to do things that he will regret later because of a momentary impulse.
Even if there is no legal certificate between the two, he will still love her and take care of her as always.
Indeed, from the two people in love to now, it has gone through 26 years, and the boyfriend has always been inseparable from Liu Yucui.
The feelings of the two are still as loving as before, and I have to say that compared with the female stars in the entertainment industry who have a rough road,
Liu Yucui is lucky, although she did not marry and have children, but has a man who truly loves her.
After the expiration of his contract with his old owner TVB in 2011, Liu Yucui began to shift the focus of his work to the mainland.
Maintain the production of at least 3-5 film and television works per year, spare time,
She will travel with her boyfriend to relax and taste food in various places at home and abroad, and live a leisurely life.
Of course, for those who love Liu Yucui, there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy her works.
Because Liu Yucui once said that she will act until she is 80 years old!
