In the 1980s and 1990s, many beautiful and recognizable actresses only played soy sauce in Hong Kong dramas.
But even if they have not been reused, have not played the main role or have not encountered a blockbuster script, and their fame is not as good as Guan Zhilin, Zhao Yazi, Lin Qingxia, etc., they have also been amazed by an era in Hong Kong dramas.
Let's review the style of those unpopular beauties.
First, Huang Xiaoyan
When it comes to mainland female artists who have developed in TVB, everyone may think of Zhang Yan, He Meidian, Li Ying, Jiang Wenduan, etc., but few people remember Huang Xiaoyan.
And Huang Xiaoyan, in fact, has also left her beautiful youth on the screen of TVB.
Huang Xiaoyan was born in Guangzhou in a scholarly family, and her dream from childhood to adulthood was to be a kindergarten teacher. At the end of the 1980s, Guangzhou's "Beauty in the Flower City" beauty contest was in full swing, and Huang Xiaoyan, who was attending secondary school at the time, signed up for the second competition with the encouragement of her parents and teachers.
The champion of the year was Zhang Yan, and Huang Xiaoyan won the third place.
Their subsequent resumes are somewhat similar, but in terms of fame, she is not as good as Zhang Yan.
Huang Xiaoyan joined TVB in 1995 and participated in dramas such as "Edge Story", "Furious Fire", "Southern Emperor Beicai", "Little Li Flying Knife" (Guan Lijie version) and so on.
Although the costumes and hair accessories of TVB's costume dramas of that year were recycled, and the sets were also somewhat shabby, whether it was a court drama or a martial arts drama, the shape was simple and not simple. Huang Xiaoyan, whose face is like a silver basin and has picturesque eyebrows, looks delicate and cute under these chic shapes, and has a classical charm.
She has a height of 168cm, has participated in the first model competition, manners, shape and shape do not have to say, whether it is a dignified and generous boudoir or a lively and jumpy exquisite girl, she can portray it beautifully.
But unfortunately, she did not make any splashes on TVB, and later came to ATV, the mainland, there was no big hit, and after 2006, she completely faded out.
2. Wang Yanna
At the age of 15, Wang Yanna participated in the "Hong Kong Beauty Girl Competition" and later joined ATV. She has only been in the circle for 9 years, and quietly withdrew from the circle at the age of 24. It can be said that she left the most youthful and beautiful side in the hearts of the audience.
She is a standard small family jasper type beauty, her facial features are exquisite and small, and her body is full of aura. Or a ruthless and wayward little girl, or a villain with a black and vicious belly, she is at her fingertips.
In "Blue Blood and Blue Sky Yang Family General", she played Wei Ling'er, eccentric, intelligent and courageous, and the childish and dull Wenguang CP is very good, and in the sequel, she received a box lunch and made the audience eager to send blades to the screenwriter.
In the early years, her roles were very marginalized supporting actresses, and she also played several unit drama heroines, and in "The Legend of mirror flowers", she played the third female Cheng Jinfeng, with many roles and very emotional characters.
Although she is an arrogant and domineering supporting actress, she is better than the heroine Ye Zijing in terms of appearance and aura.
Her plasticity is very strong, every role she plays is subversive, in the popular words of the moment, she holds on to it, sometimes it is pitiful, sometimes beautiful and domineering.
After acting in "The Legend of the Mirror Flower", she left ATV, and then changed her name to Wang Ying to come to the mainland to shoot a "Sword Young Master" and completely withdrew from the circle.
3. Ou Shuzhen
Ou Shuzhen was the "Asian Sister" champion in 93, but she was very low-key and ambitious in the entertainment industry, and quit the entertainment industry as a teacher after her one-year contract with ATV expired.
Such a woman who is indifferent to fame and fortune, in addition to beauty, has a worldly nobility.
Due to her time in the circle for only one year, she did not have many images on the screen, but she was unforgettable in "Lang Heart Like Iron", "King of the Drama King", and "King's Landing".
Her facial features are stretched, her nose and mouth are particularly beautiful, and her costumes are beautiful and elegant, even the difficult qing palace shape is eye-catching.
She has cooperated with Jiang Hua many times, and has been in a sadistic relationship for several lifetimes from ancient times to modern times. Although she was only in her early 20s at that time, she controlled the characters very precisely, and the images she created were some chuchu and moving, and some were gentle and dignified.
If she doesn't leave the circle early, she should be as famous as Weng Hong and Yang Gong like these asian sisters.
4. Li Saifeng
Li Saifeng is actually not unpopular, because as a "kung fu actress", she was really popular in her early years, but because she retired from the circle early, the younger generation of audiences are not familiar with her.
She began filming at the age of 15, officially joined ATV after graduating at the age of 19, and starred in dramas such as "Yue Nu Sword" and "Fairy Amorous" at ATV, and after the contract expired, she turned to the film circle, mainly shooting kung fu films.
Although she takes the route of beating women, her appearance is also outstanding, and she was once known as "the most beautiful star in Hong Kong". On the other hand, now, beautiful and able to play female stars, in the current era of fast consumption has disappeared.
In 1986, ATV's "Yue Nu Sword" was Li Saifeng's famous work, and it was also the only time Jin Yong's novel was put on the screen.
At that time, Li Saifeng was only 21 years old, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a face of collagen, truly interpreted the movement like a rabbit, quiet as a virgin.
ATV's style at that time was very bold, all kinds of feathers, cloth strips were matched with clothing and buns, and then with red, blue, pink and other bright clothing, Li Saifeng, who was at a wonderful age, was so delicate that people wondered: A Qingdu is beautiful like this, how beautiful should Xi Shi be?
Her makeup in the play is actually a little thick, and pink eyeshadow and blush are bounded, but it does not affect her appearance at all.
Later, her transformation into martial arts films was even more stunning, with a beautiful face and athletic hands, which met all the audience's imagination of chivalrous women.
She faded out of the film and television circle at the age of 30, married into the rich at the age of 36, but unfortunately her marriage was not happy, and after six years, she ended in divorce, and after the breakup, she was splashed with dirty water by her husband, and her reputation was greatly damaged.
5. Zhong Shuhui
Many people are full of praise for Wu Dairong's costumes, singaporean he arrived in Hong Kong with "Absolute Double Pride", "Border City Prodigal Son", "Jade Face Flying Fox", "Sword Demon Lonely defeat" four dramas became the first-line students of TVB at that time, white and white and black and red snow are still remembered by the audience.
As everyone knows, his wife Zhong Shuhui is also a classical beauty.
Chung Shu-wai is the winner of "Miss Universe" Hong Kong, and she is the only Hong Kong star to directly participate in the Miss Universe contest without participating in the Hong Kong Sisters campaign.
After signing up with TVB, she acted in TV dramas and served as a host, but she has been developing mediocrely, and finally forced her to go to the sea to shoot wind and moon films.
After looking back after all these years, I found that she was actually a very charming woman. Although she does not look amazing on the whole, her fox eyes have their own style, with plump lips, but they are very moving, cold and noble.
She is 173cm tall and has a figure that is notoriously good in the circle. But personally, I think her costume is more attractive than fashion, probably because her own temperament is more classical.
She gives people a sense of tenacity, but at that time, the roles she took over were all women who were murdered by people, which may be the reason why she has not been able to catch fire.
However, she also gained from acting in the wind and moon film and earned a good husband.
6. Chen Huiyi
Chen Huiyi participated in the Hong Kong sister campaign, but did not get the rank, and the level of Hong Kong sisters at that time was too high.
Her most famous title is the ex-wife of director Chen Jiashang. In those years when she did not get everyone's special attention, she has always been bright and moving.
Her film history is basically playing supporting roles, such as Empress Miao En'en in "Southern Emperor and Northern Cai", and Xie Miao, the Tiandu Fairy in "The Strange Adventure of the Strange Heroes of ShuShan", which are impressive.
In particular, Miao En'en is very distressing, she was originally Duan Zhixing's green plum bamboo horse, but Duan Zhixing transferred to love after knowing Liu Ying. After she saw the clue, she not only did not blame Duan Zhixing, but also matched them, and the kindness was heartbreaking.
Even so, the screenwriter did not show compassion for her, making her an empress and dying in childbirth.
In the play, her style is very refreshing, and when she first appeared, she wore a pink shirt with the same color hairpin, which was both generous and playful. Later, when she became a queen, her costumes were more gorgeous, and she was more bright.
Her temperament is relatively cold, if it is to play the role of belly black villain, royal sister and so on, it should be very emotional.
7. Liu Hongfang
Liu Hongfang worked for TVB in the 1980s and was one of the five candidates for the "ideal Huang Rong" in 83 "Shooting Eagle", but later the five candidates did not play Huang Rong, but Weng Meiling pressed Qunfang to get the role.
After filming dramas for a year on TVB, Liu Hongfang switched to ATV and filmed dramas such as "Eight Immortals Across the Sea", "Tianya Mingyue Dao", "Wu Zetian", "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge", "Joke About Qianlong" and other dramas, although they are all supporting roles, but the degree of surprise is not lost to the protagonist.
Her appearance is gentle with a little playfulness, and there is a faint sadness in her brow, which is especially suitable for playing in ancient costumes. In "Yun Hai Yu Bow Edge", she plays Li Qinmei, the shape is very plus, the hair bun is pulled up high, and two small braids slowly hang down on the shoulders, with her agile little expression, well-behaved and sweet.
After watching this drama, I also understand why she was recommended to play Huang Rong that year.
In "Tianya Mingyue Knife", she played Ni Hui, and her appearance can force the heroine.
After leaving ATV, she went to Taiwan to develop and shoot "Joke About Qianlong". In "Joke About Qianlong", she played Concubine Shu, a Miao woman, and a set of exotic costumes made her look more beautiful.
I remember that there is a bridge section in the play where Qianlong, played by Zheng Shaoqiu, asked her to show her face to him, and the second she slowly looked up, not only Qianlong was about to flow, but the audience was also hit by her.
In that era, the lighting was not good, the overall picture quality was very gray, if you put it aside now to beautify, add a filter, minutes can be a large piece of seconds.
VIII. Li Guiying
Li Guiying entered the industry in 1989, retired from the circle in 1997, and starred in fifty or sixty works in 8 years, without exception, all of which are supporting roles.
Her facial features are actually a bit of a Showa actress, but her costume is inexplicably harmonious. In "Southern Emperor And Northern Cai", she plays the killer Water Spirit, compared to other female characters in the play, her style is very plain, often dressed in black, and the hairstyle does not have any modification, but the so-called coarse cloth is difficult to hide the beautiful posture, and the old-fashioned shape does not cover up her beauty.
In "Divine Eagle Hero", she plays Hong Lingbao, a disciple of Li Moxuan, and the Daogu style still does not highlight her appearance, but her face is good-looking, and the strange CP between her and Yang Guo is also quite good.
Two years later, in "Tianlong Babu", she transformed into one of Duan Zhengchun's lovers, "Pretty Medicine Fork" Gan Baobao.
Her role in a cold and glamorous role makes people feel alienated across the screen, and the role of sadness can make people feel that she is very poor. She began to play her mother when she was twenty or thirty years old, and she was completely able to put her body down.
9. Zhang Huiyi
Cheung Wai Yee is a Chinese Malaysian Miss in 1993 and joined TVB the following year to start acting in TV dramas.
Later, when she was mentioned, most of them only remembered the fragrant wind and moon films she shot, and she was sexy and feminine in the film, and she was the real "king of all demons".
In fact, her costume is also very beautiful.
In 1994's "Bao Qingtian's Weeping Blood Phoenix", she played the role of the queen, a red shirt, full of pearls, full of smiles, making people really believe that she is the noble concubine who crowned the harem beauty three thousand.
She is proud of her figure, a pair of eyes with a flattering attitude, gentle and gentle, feminine and overwhelming. She can also be pure, she can be sad... In her, you can see a variety of contradictory temperaments.
Characters such as the Spider Spirit in "Journey to the West", the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons in "Journey to the West II", and the Horse Dingdang in "I Have a Date with Zombies II" are all amazing.
She does not need to be deliberately pretentious to play a goblin, a shallow smile, a look forward to brilliance, and a flattering attitude is naturally revealed. I think that the "beautiful bones" that everyone often says is more or less like this.
10. He Wanying
He Wanying is the top five Hong Kong sisters in 91 years, who has been a host, released records, and acted in many film and television works.
Her facial features are not colorful, single eyelids, small eyes, but she has a killer skill - smile. She laughed and perfectly interpreted the idiom "bright eyes and bright teeth".
The costume styling of that era was very elaborate, and basically had the effect of adding color to the actors. In "Sui and Tang Dynasty Heroes", Li Jing'er, played by her, is dressed in a green shirt, embellished with three or two flowers on her head, and her eyebrows are agile, and she is a naïve and cute beautiful girl who is alive and free.
It's just a pity that at that time, she put her main energy on the record, but the singing skills were not satisfactory, and there was no fire. If she had acted in a few more dramas, perhaps she could have a place in that era when the gods were fighting.
The above 10 costume beauties in Hong Kong dramas are either mainly supporting roles, or retired from the circle too early and gradually forgotten by the audience, but they are all powerful factions with good looks and acting skills.
When the audience has complained that the style of today's costume dramas is becoming more and more perfunctory, and the actors are becoming more and more unrecognizable, looking back at these unpopular beauties in the past, they can only sigh that they really did not have the right time. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were too many beautiful women in Hong Kong, and it was not easy to kill a bloody road. If you put it now, these unpopular actresses who play supporting roles can all be pulled out to hang the net red face that comes down the assembly line.
