Around 1980, when the Beijing Film Studio was more brilliant, a large number of outstanding actresses emerged in the era when beautiful women were like clouds and acting skills were like gods fighting.
However, there are three actresses who almost contracted the most popular film and television dramas of that era.
In 1979, "Little Flower" produced by Beijing Film Studio made Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Chong and others popular all over the country, and even the theme song "Velvet Flower" sung by Li Guyi is still sung today.
In the same period, films such as "Death of the Marshal", "Camel Xiangzi", and "Tea House" were also excellent works that were extremely popular, and Li Xiuming and Zhang Jinling immediately became household names.
In 1981, Liu Xiaoqing, Zhang Jinling, and Li Xiuming starred in "Xu Mao and His Daughters" at the same time, and with the cast alone, they set off a boom before they started broadcasting, which shows how hot the three of them were in that era at that time.
Therefore, at that time, the three of them were also called "the three golden flowers of the North Shadow".
However, after 40 years, in addition to Liu Xiaoqing is still active in the entertainment industry, the other two have little news.
The "three golden flowers" that once burned for an era are now over the age of flower armor, but the circumstances are different, and some people are happy and some are sad.
01, Liu Xiaoqing
Liu Xiaoqing is the youngest of the "Three Golden Flowers", but now her fame is the greatest, which is also due to the fact that she has never left the entertainment industry, and the countless marriages that have created her title of "Queen of Topics".
She became famous at a young age, but went to jail at her peak, and then went through four marriages, and remarried a rich businessman at the age of 58, so the ups and downs of the experience seem to be more exciting than her role.
In 1956, when Liu Xiaoqing was 6 years old, she was hit by her mother to the point of bleeding from the nose, and she did not understand why her mother was so violent and would be scolded if she did not obey.
However, afterwards, her mother would still wipe the nosebleed on her face, probably because her mother was too eager to achieve success.
When Liu Xiaoqing was pregnant with Liu Xiaoqing, her husband left her, and then reorganized the family, and Liu Xiaoqing followed her mother's surname.
But in Liu Xiaoqing's memory, his stepfather was a very gentle person, treating himself as his own daughter and often telling her some celebrity stories.
Because of this, in elementary school, every student was asked to write down his dream of the future, some people wrote about teachers, some people wrote about doctors and some people wrote about lawyers, and only one person wrote the word actor, she was Liu Xiaoqing.
She hopes to be like the person in the story told by her father, respected and remembered.
But she didn't go well at first, and after graduation she became a farmer, and if she hadn't been determined enough, she might still be doing farm work today.
In 1975, the Bayi Studios selected actors, and Liu Xiaoqing became the lucky one as she wished, and by the time she participated in her first film "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", her first husband was already on the road.
In 1976, at the age of 21, Liu Xiaoqing was like a flower, and at this flower-like age, he married her first husband, Wang Li.
After marriage, Liu Xiaoqing did not focus on the family, but a brain development career.
In three years, he has made nearly ten works, winning the second place for best actress and the best supporting actress award at the "Wenhui Film Awards".
However, while her career is rising, her feelings are not satisfactory.
In 1980, Liu Xiaoqing met director Chen Guojun while filming the movie "The Depths of the Soul", and then the husband with a wife actually developed feelings with him and lived together for three years.
In 1982, Liu Xiaoqing divorced her first husband.
6 years later, he and Chen Guojun made up the marriage procedures, and in the same year, he participated in the "Fire Phoenix" and won the Best Actress Award of the Hundred Flowers Film Award.
However, their marriage certificate was a divorce certificate in less than two years.
At that time, Liu Xiaoqing was at the peak of her career, and she also earned a lot of money with her super popularity, and Liu Xiaoqing founded a number of companies after having money.
However, in 2002, Liu Xiaoqing was arrested and imprisoned for more than 400 days.
It is said that at that time, Liu Xiaoqing had a lot of white hair, and it is estimated that he regretted it at the beginning.
In the year of his release from prison, Liu Xiaoqing married his third husband, Ah Feng, who was 6 years younger than Liu Xiaoqing, in fact, those days were very difficult, Liu Xiaoqing, who had just been released from prison, was penniless, and Ah Feng was young and liked the waves.
They divorced again after only two years of marriage, but Liu Xiaoqing's stubborn temper did not accept the help of outsiders, and he was bound to get back on his own.
So for a long time, she began to act all the way from supporting roles to protagonists again, and became a powerful faction in the entertainment industry at that time.
Although Liu Xiaoqing has rich feelings and has experienced prison, he does have many classic works in acting.
So now that she is 67 years old, she is still active in the entertainment industry, and this year she also starred in the movie "My Mentor", and a rich husband Wang Xiaoyu loves her, and her life is very comfortable.
In fact, she is not short of money now, but she still insists on filming, perhaps because this is her childhood dream, but also because of acting that has brought her to where she is today.
02, Li Xiuming
Speaking of Li Xiuming, in fact, her story is far more exciting than Liu Xiaoqing, and when she was at her hottest, Liu Xiaoqing was willing to play a supporting role for her.
She and Chen Daoming are classmates, is Li Guyi's classmate sister, and later became a strong woman in business, was used as a successful research case by the Peking University MBA, her experience can only be described by the word legend, but she quit the film industry for nearly 30 years, what is her living situation now?
Her life as a child was much luckier than that of her peers, and she behaved modestly in a family of scholars, and was one of the first people to watch black-and-white television at that time.
She was also influenced by black-and-white television as a child when she became an actress.
After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to the student class of Tianjin Art Theater and became a classmate with Chen Daoming and others.
At that time, Li Xiuming's learning ability was very strong, and his grades in primary and junior high school were top-notch in the class, and later when he entered the art theater, he became a drama actor in just one year.
However, she did not immediately get the opportunity to participate in the drama, but did some behind-the-scenes work, but her beautiful appearance allowed her to meet Chen Qiang, a predecessor in the drama industry.
Chen Qiang saw Li Xiuming at first sight and thought that she was a good seedling for acting, as a senior, he naturally had a lot of resources, so in 1975, Chen Qiang introduced her to director Xie Jin.
The transformation from drama actor to film actor, Lee So-myung may be the smoothest of many actors.
In 1975, he starred in his first films "Spring Seedlings" and "The Young Generation".
Later, after entering the Beijing Film Studio, Li Xiuming seemed a little embarrassed, before there was Zhang Jinling, the head of the family, Zhang Jinling, and then there was Liu Xiaoqing, who was as beautiful as a flower, and Li Xiuming, who was sandwiched in the middle, could be said to survive in the cracks.
But the reason why Li Xiuming is legendary is because she never gives in.
Even if the road ahead is difficult, Li Xiuming never considers giving up, in order to win a place in the fiercely competitive North Film, Li Xiuming is not specializing in acting skills at any time.
In 1978, Li Xiuming starred in the movie "Sweet Career", and played the female warrior Song Min in "The Great River Rushing", all of which showed her natural and superb acting skills.
After that, he successfully moved forward side by side with Zhang Jinling and Liu Xiaoqing, and won two film queens.
And Li Xiuming has a little shrewdness in that she knows how to retreat from the rapids, and she can also see the industry boom one step at a time.
For example, in the 90s, when Qiong Yao opera began to flourish, Li Xiuming resolutely chose to abandon the shadow and follow the teacher Jin Tielin to learn music, becoming Li Guyi's sister.
In 1991, she also held a solo concert, but this stage of changing careers was not easy to walk, and when she was most frustrated, she met Cheng Jiushi, and the two married together to support them.
But even with the help of her husband, Li Xiuming did not make a storm in the music world, but once again chose to give up singing and start business.
At that time, Li Xiuming found that the domestic potato chip market was a business opportunity, so he pulled her husband to start specializing in the potato chip industry, in order not to let people think that she sold feelings, Li Xiuming did not advertise herself, but let her son be a spokesperson.
In just four years, Li Xiuming has successfully developed "Big Treasure" potato chips to become a multi-millionaire, and has also bundled sales with foreign companies, bringing considerable benefits.
Later, everyone saw that Li Xiuming was successful in making potato chips, so he followed to try, during that time there were more and more potato chips, Li Xiuming once again chose to retreat from the rapids and sell the company to PepsiCo.
Later, Li Xiuming settled abroad with her family, and now she is rarely seen in public view.
But Li Xiuming, who is 68 years old, is now not worried about life, quietly enjoying a slow life, I have to say that she is really a strange woman, good acting skills, courage, long-term vision, not to mention women in life, that is, men have most of the courage that is not as good as her.
Dare to think and dare to do, indomitable, let Li Xiuming come to this step today.
03, Zhang Jinling
Compared with the first two, Zhang Jinling's current living situation is not so satisfactory.
Zhang Jinling, as the oldest of the "Three Golden Flowers of the North Shadow", is also the earliest one to debut, and she has to experience more hardships than the first two.
In 1951, Zhang Jinling was born in Cangxian County, Hebei Province, as the eldest sister of the family, she had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her four younger brothers, because the family conditions were not good, her father worked outside the home for many years, and her mother had no income, so she could only rely on the money sent back by her father to survive.
"The children of poor families have long been in charge", Zhang Jinling learned to help her parents reduce their burdens at a very young age, and almost all these things were taken care of by washing and cooking to take care of her brother.
When she was 7 years old, a thick cocoon had grown on her hands, which was more obvious in winter, but who would have thought that this little girl with cocoons would have a dream of becoming an actor?
After graduation, Zhang Jinling became a local teacher, also following her mother's wishes.
However, she longed for the stage, and could only practice singing and reciting alone after the students had left.
Until 1970, when the Hubei Repertory Theatre was recruiting actors, the news reached Zhang Jinling's ears and she was shocked, but after thinking about it for a while, it was too hard for my mother to take so many children alone.
Who knew that at this time her mother told her:
"You have your own dreams, you have to be bold to chase, I and your dad support you"
This gave Zhang Jinling the courage to sign up, and Zhang Jinling, who successfully entered the drama troupe, soon became a pillar of the troupe, and learned a lot of professional knowledge and acting skills in four years.
In 1974, she starred in her first film "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", which made her a household name, and then met Xu Min while participating in the film "Hope".
The two had an affair because of the drama, and went from the play to the outside of the play to become a couple.
In 1979, the two registered for marriage, and it was also in this year that Zhang Jinling entered the North Film Studio and became the North Shadow Flower Dan.
However, after marriage, although Zhang Jinling became more and more famous, she was pregnant with a child at the peak of her career, and in order to let the child be born smoothly, Zhang Jinling did not shoot for a long time.
After the child is born, it is necessary to spend time to take care of the child, thinking that after being married for so many years, it is time to spend more time with the family.
However, when she was ready to give up her career to spend time with her family, it became the most wrong step in her life.
Zhang Jinling gave birth to a child and became a housewife, who knew that at this time Xu Min did not love her so much, and after the love deteriorated, she soon embarked on the end of divorce.
After the divorce, the children followed Zhang Jinling, and she could not support the heavy responsibility of raising children after a long time of not filming, so she had to take care of her young children while filming.
However, she was almost 40 years old at the time, and she reached the embarrassing stage of the actor, her appearance was not as good as before, and she could only receive some supporting roles.
Therefore, Zhang Jinling's life after divorce is not satisfactory, in order to let the child have a healthy and comfortable growth environment, Zhang Jinling has to consider remarriage.
Subsequently, Zhang Jinling married the wealthy merchant Zhang Zheng, and in her spare time, she followed Lou Shibai to learn to paint.
Today's Zhang Jinling is also 70 years old, the first person in the "Three Golden Flowers" to run 70, and in comparison, it is also the most bitter one.
Fortunately, her living condition has gradually improved, the child is very filial to her, understands the pain caused by her mother's shadow for him, and now she often contacts her mother when she goes abroad.
