In 2002, an ordinary girl from a family of teachers in Hsinchu, Taiwan, made a big decision without her parents — I wanted to be a star.
When all is said and done, she went to Taipei alone, went to the agency to submit her resume, signed up for the singing competition, and was favored by Taiwan's "new godfather" Li Yaming.
"Name, education, specialties again."
"Hello teacher, my name is Zeng Zhiqiao, 14 years old, from Hsinchu, love to sing."
Zeng Zhiqiao
After the competition ended, under the arrangement of Li Yaming, Zeng Zhiqiao got the opportunity to sign a contract with the record company.
Based on the principle of the protection of minors, it must be signed by her guardian.
At this time, she let her parents know,
"Yes, I'm going to be an artist, and I'm going to do my best to take responsibility for that choice, without complaint or regret."
Zeng Zhiqiao is a person who is particularly firm in his choices.
The one who signed Zeng Zhiqiao was Fumao Records.
At that time, Fumao's talents were abundant, especially female singers, Zhang Shaohan, Fan Weiqi, Guo Jing, Zhou Hui...
FuMao is very good at discovering the characteristics of female singers, especially good at being a light literary and artistic goddess.
But Zeng Zhiqiao was too young at the time, and the company did not know how to package her for a while.
And Zeng Zhiqiao, who has just entered the show business circle, feels dazzled to see so many celebrities appear in front of his eyes.
One day, the company arranged for her to go to see the concert of the senior Zhou Hui, and there was another girl who went with her, and later Zeng Zhiqiao recalled that this girl was "very powerful and super beautiful", and she was Liu Pinyan.
Liu Pinyan and the fate of the entertainment industry earlier, she is a Taipei, Liu mother and the mother of the little S death party Makiyo are very familiar, Liu Pinyan has been beautiful since childhood, Makiyo's mother introduced her to Li Yaming as an artist.
Liu Pinyan
Because of the same age, the company suddenly had inspiration, it is better to emulate Twins, let Zeng Zhiqiao and Liu Pinyan form a twin flower combination, and develop together.
In 2003, the "Sweety" group officially debuted, and the youthful faces of Zeng Zhiqiao and Liu Pinyan became a clear stream of Taiwan entertainment, and fans affectionately called them "QiaoQiao" and "Yanyan".
Now, 20 years are almost over, the girl of the year has grown into a light mature woman in her early 30s, and the entire entertainment industry is waiting for liu Pinyan, who grew up, to experience various storms, bursting fat and thin, gradually losing her aura, and disappearing into the crowd.
On the contrary, Zeng Zhiqiao, who was not optimistic about being weak everywhere, grew longer and more beautiful, confident and elegant, and his career also climbed steadily, married to Chen Yiru, who was married to the former idol boy group Flywheel Hai, and lived a wonderful first half of his life.
How did the small town girl Zeng Zhiqiao fight back? Hear her story.
Two
Some people say that Sweety is ripe for the entertainment industry.
In SHE, seven flowers of the same era, Sweety's "Cherry Blossom Grass" is also a small achievement.
After her debut, Sweety's development momentum is good, and the two sweet girls have made the previous artists feel pressure.
The company also attaches great importance to them, and intends to build the two girls into the path of the three stars.
However, their first album was cold.
Fumao's top management discussed urgently and decided to change the runway.
At the age of 16, Zeng Zhiqiao received the first play in his life - "The Top of the Forbidden Purple".
This drama was Taiwan's ratings champion drama that year, and many years later it became popular on the mainland network with the awkward dance clips that turned the whole scene upside down.
Zeng Zhiqiao is the embarrassing heroine Xiaoying, who is forced to watch the fight dance strongly.
What makes Zeng Zhiqiao popular is not this play, but the inspirational love drama "Love Troll" starring with Ming Dao and Wang Shaowei, she is the heroine Beroy who is surrounded by four handsome men.
Does anyone remember a cherry hairpin?
One by one, exposing age.
At that time, I thought the profession of hair stylist was cool, oh, terrible secondary two diseases.
Zeng Zhiqiao also appeared with Liu Pinyan in "The Legend of the Paladin Sword", but everyone loved the delicate and cute Anu more, forgetting that she played the hard-working Ding Xiulan.
Well, Xiaobian admitted that Liu Pinyan was indeed better looking at that time, and his personality was pleasing.
It is said that when shooting the Immortal Sword, she always hid in Liu Yifei's nanny car and stole the small stove made by Liu Yifei's mother.
Hu Ge fans sorry, Xiaobian did not deliberately black runaway brother.
In contrast, Zeng Zhiqiao's personality is more introverted and a bit stuffy.
Liu Pinyan is a child who has suffered from congenital heart disease since childhood, but in her career, this entertainment circle is very hard to wait for her to grow up.
Her first starring in the TV series was "West Street Boy", the female no. 1 Liu Pinyan, Huo Jianhua, Wang Xinling, Sun Xiezhi escorted her, which was a strong lineup in the Taiwan entertainment industry at that time.
Later, when she played the heroine of "Fighting The King", Zeng Zhiqiao matched her.
Liu Pinyan's audience popularity is very good, her role in Anu is pure natural cuteness, many years later still make the audience remember, usually, the audience is also a kind of peach blossom, Liu Pinyan is a rotten peach blossom came too early.
After filming "The Legend of the Paladin Sword", Zeng Zhiqiao returned to Taiwan to prepare for his second album.
Liu Pinyan rushed into the crew of "Green Light Forest", and she played the female Number One Sophie.
Unfortunately, she encountered the first calamity - the male number two Ruan Jingtian.
At that time, Ruan Jingtian was 18,000 miles away from Liu Pinyan in his career, but emotionally he was experienced and sophisticated, although he was only 19 years old, he fascinated the 17-year-old girl.
According to the producers of Green Light Forest:
"Liu Pinyan sprained his foot while filming, Ruan Jingtian would use himself as a crutch, and when reading the script, Ruan Jingtian would put the script on Liu Pinyan's back, and the two were very close."
At this time, Ruan Jingtian also had another agent girlfriend who was 12 years older than him, and Liu Pinyan was not the only one at all.
The relationship ended seven months later.
Although at this time, Sweety's second album was popular, the announcements were flying all over the sky, and the work schedule was at the end of the year, Liu Pinyan still decided to go to France to study, and Zeng Zhiqiao was suddenly faced with the situation of flying alone and facing the media and the audience alone.
At Liu Pinyan's practice meeting, everyone said to Liu Pinyan, "Come on, go to France and have a boyfriend to talk about Oh", only Zeng Zhiqiao was silent, and when she came to her, she suddenly broke the joyful atmosphere and said:
"She said, "I don't want to talk at all, because I've got enough friends, and now I have to go."
Tears came out of his eyes.
This is the first time that Zeng Zhiqiao has truly shown his emotions in front of the public, very sincere and very moving.
Three
After Liu Pinyan left, two major events happened to Zeng Zhiqiao.
First, the 19-year-old girl bought a house with her own efforts and five years of income from the show business.
Second, because she came out to work too early and was not strong enough in the face of criticism and attacks, the little girl suffered from depression.
Ironic? No pain, no gain.
In a self-dissecting speech many years later, Zeng Zhiqiao talked about that experience:
"I used to be a kid who worked too hard and pushed too hard, so when I was 19, my body and my spirit were out of control.
I became an artist at a very young age, released records at 14, started making idol dramas as a leading role at the age of 15, and have been in the same industry ever since.
Suffering from mild depression, I personally judge that one of the main reasons is that I am working too hard, I am too hard. ”
During the worst period of the disease, she could not sleep, the work was full, and the daily sleep time was not enough, but when she lay down, Zeng Zhiqiao still kept reviewing the day in her mind:
The work is not done well enough, the relationships are not good, and people younger than me have made great progress...
This internal friction exhausted her grinding.
Later, she couldn't even eat anything, so anxious that she felt that eating was a waste of time.
Zeng Zhiqiao knew that she was sick and that she had to let herself go.
A path of self-breakthrough should be the coexistence of pain and pleasure, the power of happiness can overcome pain, if something is too painful, then there must be something wrong, it must be out of balance and disintegration.
It seems that from that time, Zeng Zhiqiao bloomed.
She took many classes to find her inner strength, flew to various places to take classes, and learned how to accept herself.
At the same time, she also harvested sweet love, and it was she who chased after her.
In 2009, Zeng Zhiqiao collaborated with Flywheel Sea member Chen Yiru on the love drama "Love Like Parkway".
The filming process of this drama is also full of twists and turns, half of the filming is Taiwan suffered from the 88 floods, a year later again re-filmed, Zeng Zhiqiao because of the wrong schedule, did not continue to star.
However, her scandal with Chen Yiru did not go away.
This year, Liu Pinyan ended his study abroad career in France and returned to Taiwan again, just in time to meet Ruan Jingtian because of "Destiny I Love You" and "Queen of Defeated Dogs" two dramas became popular.
The worst thing, Nguyen Ching Tien offended the former agent, who revealed:
"Ruan Jingtian attended a gathering of friends that year, and went around showing off that he had taken away Liu Pinyan's first night!"
You know, Liu Pinyan was only 22 years old at this time!
She attended the charity event with Jia Jingwen and Zeng Kaiying, and the focus was all blurred, and the reporter asked bluntly:
"Yan Yan, did you give it to Ruan Jingtian the first time?"
Liu Pinyan did not know how to answer, with tears in his eyes, the reporter angrily wrote:
"When asked why she was crying, she insisted that her eyes were in the sand, and there was no wind and sand at the scene, which made people suspicious."
Netizens accused her: "Girls don't love themselves. "Pretending to be pure, deceiving the public."
The scumbag who jokes about the girl's private affairs is invisible, and the victim is humiliated to the point of not being able to lift his head at all.
Liu Pinyan fled again, announcing his retirement from the circle and going to Shanghai to study.
Seeing Liu Pinyan's encounter, Zeng Zhiqiao did not dare to disclose his relationship with Chen Yiru.
Those years were the big explosion period of the Flywheel Sea, the four sons had a full trip, I didn't expect it, Wu Zun was a hidden marriage, Chen Yiru's hidden girlfriend, the other two hidden, I don't know anything.
Taiwan media have repeatedly photographed Zeng Zhiqiao and Chen Yiru together, such as holding an umbrella together in the rain, Chen Yiru will put the umbrella more on the girl's side, and Zeng Zhiqiao is like an ordinary girl, protecting the brand-name package in the middle position.
In the middle, they were separated for a while, but the more they were separated, the more they missed, Chen Yiru was the eldest grandson of the family, his family was more traditional, and he would expect the marriage of the eldest grandson.
Zeng Zhiqiao personally advised Chen Yiru, "Don't marry me, I don't meet [your] requirements." ”
After experiencing depression at the age of 19, Zeng Zhiqiao paid more attention to his inner needs and feelings.
She would often travel long distances alone, at first Tatsuyaru did not accept it, and later, slowly, she also found out the temper of the other party and learned to give each other space.
Zeng Zhiqiao and Chen Yiru finally announced their marriage in 2020, ten years after falling in love.
Now, Zeng Zhiqiao's girlfriend has become Ke Jiahui, they have known since the filming of "Must Marry a Woman" in 2015, and Zeng Zhiqiao has also been nominated for the Supporting Actress Award for Drama Program at the 51st Taiwan Television Golden Bell Awards for this drama.
But her relationship with Liu Pinyan has not changed, and seeing Zeng Zhiqiao's marriage news, Liu Pinyan cried like a dog.
They are no longer close friends who will see each other often, but they are an irreplaceable part of each other's lives.
postscript:
In Lin Xinru's word-of-mouth drama "The First Lantern", Liu Pinyan played a dusty woman named Huazi.
Hanako's fate is really too good to cry, she has been an honor student who has been winning awards since she was a child, and she could have had a brilliant future, but she fell step by step.
Involved in murders, being ruined, being bullied, being driven away...
She is like the life of the rejected Hanako, her life goal is just to be a housewife, and she can't achieve it with all her efforts.
This play Liu Pinyan acted really well.
Coincidentally, Zeng Zhiqiao also recently played a spicy hotel lady, in the movie "Selling Life", this position has fully illustrated Zeng Zhiqiao's current status in the Taiwan entertainment industry.
Zeng Zhiqiao spent seven hours learning to smoke, and she shouted "Occupational injury!" ”
The two girls who debuted from Sweety at that time, fate went around, and they had been playing for nearly twenty years, and they were just in their early thirties.
Life is long, and the days ahead will be more exciting!
