At the beginning of this year, Wei Qiuhua's 94-year-old mother died.
Wei Qiuhua was also 64 years old at this time, and he was still reluctant to die from his mother.
In the year of the flower armor, you can still have your mother company,
In the eyes of the vast majority of people, this will be envied.
But for children, who doesn't want their parents to live longer?
In an interview given last month, Wei Qiuhua confessed,
Even if her mother lived to be a hundred years old, she still did not want her to leave.
The only thing that made Wei Qiuhua feel relieved was that
After fading out of the entertainment industry in these years, he took out most of his time to accompany the elderly.
The daily life is idyllic and fixed, and the old man and herself have long-term living habits to maintain.
Wei Qiuhua's words may open the door of many people's memories.
Huang Rong in "Divine Eagle Hero" was 37 years old when Wei Qiuhua played it.
In the blink of an eye, 27 years have passed, and this "most beautiful middle-aged Huang Rong" has been considered by countless TV viewers.
It was as if it had just happened yesterday again.
Born in 1958, Wei Qiuhua grew up in a family of five siblings.
When I grew up, I was able to successfully enter the film and television circle, or I was encouraged by my sister.
Wei Qiuhua was the third oldest at home, and he would listen to the arrangements of his mother and sister in everything.
In addition to her sister, the mother also hopes that her three daughters can embark on the path of acting.
The family is Christian and has regular weekly church activities.
Since childhood, Wei Qiuhua has participated in the choir and always learns to sing new songs with everyone on weekends.
And when it comes to Christmas every year, performing Christmas repertoire, Wei Qiuhua is also an actor who is not to be tolerated.
Every week, I read the scriptures with everyone, Wei Qiuhua, singing or talking in front of everyone, without the feeling of being afraid of the stage.
More importantly, Wei Qiuhua, whose academic performance is very average, her parents know that she will not be admitted to college in the future.
For a while, Wei Qiuhua thought about going to apply for a flight attendant after graduating from middle school.
She began preparing when she was about to graduate from secondary school and later applied directly to Malaysia Airlines.
God favored her and she was actually accepted later.
Just as she was getting ready to officially go to work and start the daily trapeze life mode, her sister and mother changed their minds at that time.
It was 1975, and Hong Kong's Jiayi TV was just in time to start broadcasting.
At that time, the TV station was also recruiting actors, and also set up an artist training class.
In Hong Kong at that time, the competition between major television stations was fierce.
Whether it is news resources or film and television drama resources, they are basically their own original works.
Especially in the production of film and television dramas, the shooting cycle is long, and professional actors must participate.
Therefore, in order to enhance the competitiveness of their own TV stations,
Each company has set up its own artist training class, recruiting new talents and cultivating its own actor team.
One day, my sister saw the announcement of Jiayi TV recruiting actors on TV.
She thought about it and thought that the third sister could sign up to try it.
After all, once successful, entering the show business circle, whether it is income or fame, is much higher than being a flight attendant.
Wei Qiuhua's sister told her mother about this idea again.
My mother usually likes to sing and dance, and it can be said that there is an actor's dream hidden in her heart.
In this way, Wei Qiuhua's dream of a flight attendant had just begun, and the family hoped that she would change careers.
Just when Wei Qiuhua was overwhelmed, her sister had already helped her prepare her resume.
However, there were many young people who applied for the Jiayi TV training class that year, adding up to more than 2,000 people.
Wei Qiuhua actually didn't have much confidence, and she said in her heart that if she couldn't pass the exam, she would still go back and obediently be a flight attendant.
Fortunately, God still cares for her, has a foundation for singing and dancing, and looks outstanding,
More than 2,000 people applied for the examination, Wei Qiuhua and another thirty people, and finally succeeded in winning.
At that time, the development of Hong Kong's film and television industry was definitely a fast-forward model.
Modern entertainers, before entering the industry, either rushed out of the camp of dragon set actors.
Or after 4 years of professional training and study, you can start to slowly enter the industry after graduation.
At that time, the development of Hong Kong's film and television industry was not like this.
At that time, the competition of major television stations had reached the extreme level of internal volume.
Wei Qiuhua stayed in the training class for only a few weeks before officially entering the set.
In 1975 alone, Wei Qiuhua participated in the filming of three TV series.
Of course, at that time, Wei Qiuhua was still running dragon sets.
Once, the crew arranged for her and other group actors to play female soldiers,
At the director's request, they waited on the set for more than ten hours.
As they were about to finish, the director hurriedly shot them.
After that, whether this shot was used in the play, Wei Qiuhua did not know.
It can be said that at the beginning, Wei Qiuhua spent most of his time living this kind of life.
Every day I get up early and get dark, and sometimes I have to turn the day and night upside down in order to shoot night scenes.
I don't make a lot of money, and I have to be in the sun and rain.
Soon after, Wei Qiuhua regretted it.
Because she couldn't see the prospects at all, she didn't know what the future would be like.
Another time, Wei Qiuhua spent another day on the set doing nothing.
In the end, the director felt that he was too careless to go, so he randomly shot some shots for her.
Wei Qiuhua didn't want to do it, thinking about leaving at this time, and going back to being a flight attendant.
However, a few months later, the company planned to shoot "Meteor Butterfly Sword",
Wei Qiuhua was arranged by the director to play the heroine Sun Xiaodi.
Such a situation directly took a one hundred and eighty-degree turn.
Not only is there a lot of scenes to shoot every day, but the key is that all the people in the crew work around the protagonist.
At that time, she suddenly had a lot of imagination about the future in her heart.
What Wei Qiuhua did not expect was that Jiayi TV actually lasted for more than two years before it collapsed.
Don't say anything about star dreams, the future of eating and making a living immediately becomes the biggest problem.
Not only Wei Qiuhua, but other actors and crews are also facing the same situation.
Fortunately, Wei Qiuhua has come all the way, and the turning point in life can always be fierce.
Just after the tv station went out of business, Wei Qiuhua met another nobleman.
At that time, the TV person Xiao Sheng's uncle was ready to cast a beautiful after the collapse of Jiayi TV.
He's been in the television industry for decades.
Knowing that after a TV station goes out of business, there will certainly be many people of all types who can use it directly.
Uncle Xiao Sheng made a list of actors and behind-the-scenes staff, ready to be brought to the new company.
In this way, Wei Qiuhua followed many people to Li's TV.
When you arrive at a new company, you have to start work non-stop.
Wei Qiuhua's first TV series was "Chameleon".
At that time, Ma Min'er was the first heroine, and Wei Qiuhua was in the back.
Every day, the screenwriter brings in the plot to be filmed that day.
Since it is not a final script, various changes may occur at any time.
About halfway through the filming, The character Lin Yanmei, played by Wei Qiuhua, was written to death by the screenwriter.
The original plot setting was not like this, making such a change,
It is a new TV series that the company needs To participate in.
This sudden change made Wei Qiuhua a little confused.
After all, after joining this industry for a few years, many of the roles she has participated in have the state of pity of a little woman.
The new TV series "Strange Woman", in which the character setting, is a scheming and ambitious character.
In the play, this character named Song Fangting,
Just like the women's version of Jullien, she climbed from the bottom of society to the upper class little by little.
At least in Wei Qiuhua's view, this is a negative image with no bottom line.
Wei Qiuhua didn't like or even hate the role very much.
The roles she played before were all positive, and if the role setting suddenly changed,
It may drain the accumulated audience popularity.
However, the company and the director tentatively decided that she would act, and Wei Qiuhua had nothing to object to.
There were several actors who initially auditioned for this role.
Director Mai Dangxiong and screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan directly set Wei Qiuhua after the audition.
In Wei Qiuhua's view, it is impossible not to act.
So she began to try to formally integrate into the role.
At that time, Wei Qiuhua was still a young girl who did not understand the world.
It is actually very difficult to show a fierce character who is scheming.
After all, she had no social experience with all of this.
Fortunately, after the official start of filming, many senior actors gave Wei Qiuhua a lot of guidance.
Waiting for slow participation, Wei Qiuhua found that such a role broadened his play path little by little.
After the broadcast of "Strange Woman", Wei Qiuhua's status in Li was established.
In the following ten years, Wei Qiuhua participated in a large number of TV series and film works.
After gaining a firm foothold in the show business circle, Wei Qiuhua began in the 1980s.
Experienced both emotional happiness and material abundance.
At that time, she and her boyfriend went to Vietnam to do business together.
According to Wei Qiuhua's later recollection, from steel to timber business, from automobiles to infrastructure,
The two people invested in many projects, and the key was to make a lot of money.
At its peak, the money Wei Qiuhua earned from investing in Vietnam was invested in the property market in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
She believes in what she heard her mother say when she was a child, that buying bricks is the most stable investment in Hong Kong.
In this way, from the eighties to the nineties, Wei Qiuhua can be described as a proper rich sister.
The business with the boyfriend is very big, but the two people do not choose to enter the marriage hall in the end.
Wei Qiuhua later said that her own desire to get married since she was a child was actually not strong.
Other people break up either because they are emotionally unfaithful or because they don't have any money.
Wei Qiuhua later separated from her boyfriend, neither of which was the case.
At that time, the two people gathered less and left more, Wei Qiuhua was filming in Hong Kong, and the business operation was maintained by her boyfriend in Vietnam.
After the two separated, the boyfriend soon found another girl to marry.
Many years later, Wei Qiuhua recalled that it may be because her parents' marriage was not smooth, leaving a shadow on her.
His father was a former soldier, and his mother loved literature and art.
Two people in life often quarrel, but because of the influence of old ideas, the two people are not divorced.
This disharmonious side made Wei Qiuhua feel from a young age,
In fact, women do not need to rely on men, let alone get married.
As long as you can stand on your own, the happiness you want is actually not so good.
At that time, I wanted to remake "Condor Heroes", hoping that she could play Huang Rong.
Wei Qiuhua's pressure was great, after all, there were already many versions of Huang Rong before.
And she was in middle age at that time, if she didn't act well, it would not only ruin the role, but also affect the perception.
But the opposite is true, after the TV series aired,
The middle-aged Huang Rong, played by Wei Qiuhua, has almost won the unanimous admiration and recognition of the audience.
With this version of "Eagle Hero" being fixed as a classic, she was also known as the best middle-aged Huang Rong.
However, shortly after she played Huang Rong, Wei Qiuhua's life ushered in a strong "earthquake".
All of her previous real estate investments were wiped out in the financial turmoil of 1997.
Because Wei Qiuhua invested too much that year, the final loss was greater.
Wei Qiuhua not only thought about liquidation and bankruptcy, but even thought about committing suicide.
At that time, a property in Taiwan was purchased in full,
She followed her friend's advice and disposed of the property, only to barely pay off her other debts.
It can be said that overnight, she went from being rich to having nothing.
Suicidal thoughts were most intense between 2001 and 2003.
She suffered from depression, and every day as soon as the sun went down, she thought about how to act.
Fortunately, she was a devout Christian who still had the belief that suicide was not good.
With this belief, as the debt problem was dealt with little by little, Wei Qiuhua slowly stepped out of the shadows.
I have experienced the prosperity of my career, and I have also experienced the ups and downs of my business.
After entering the 21st century, wei Qiuhua's frequency of participating in film and television dramas has decreased sharply.
In her own words, when she was young, she was too enterprising,
After all this, she plans to leave the second half of her life to her parents.
When her mother was still alive, Wei Qiuhua would take her parents on a trip every day.
Especially afternoon tea at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it is almost an indispensable activity every day.
She herself, on the other hand, remains single all year round.
In 2013, Wei Qiuhua was photographed by the media and was shopping and eating with the 19-year-old rich Man Shengpinru.
Wei Qiuhua in the public response, although do not mind the year-round love,
However, she explicitly denied that she and Sheng Pinru were lovers.
Since then, Wei Qiuhua's feelings have hardly made waves.
As for filming, Wei Qiuhua said in an interview last month,
In fact, after getting older, the interest in filming has long ceased to exist.
First, because of physical weakness, it was no problem to stay up late to shoot dramas or memorize lines on the spot.
Now I can't stay up late, and the script is even more difficult to read for half a day and can't remember the lines.
Then there are the fewer and fewer roles that can be played as you get older.
The director looks for himself to star, either aunt or aunt, or even grandma.
Wei Qiuhua said that she had no interest in older roles.
She said that now, she prefers to travel with a group of friends, or sit quietly and chat and drink tea every day.
It is also true that Wei Qiuhua, who is already 64 years old,
After experiencing the glory of the career, it is time to enjoy the life of the elderly.
