At the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, Maggie Cheung refused to give Zhang Ziyi an award in front of all the actors and directors on the scene. What kind of courage did she have to do this? Maggie Cheung is the only Hong Kong actress to win the national first-class actor, she debuted for 20 years, after winning 5 golden films, five golden horse films, and also won the Berlin Film Festival and Cannes film queen. He was the first Chinese actor to win an honor at three major international film festivals in the world and was invited to the Oscar jury. His charm and unique personality stand out in the film world. Even after quitting the film industry for more than a decade, the rumors about him have never stopped. However, several people know that before he became a legend, he was ridiculed as a walking vase, disliked by Liang Chaowei, did not understand acting and went home, and was scolded by Jackie Chan on the spot.
How did she step by step on the road to the queen of the film over the years? Today we will reveal the behind-the-scenes events of Maggie Cheung's ups and downs. In 1964, Maggie Cheung left the province in Hong Kong, and when she was 8 years old, her family immigrated to Britain, although deep abroad, but her mother still retained the traditional way of education in the mainland, and the most traditional is to beat her up if she does not obey. After each beating, Maggie Cheung also put the rattan that had beaten her back in place. Under the strict education of her mother, Maggie Cheung became a well-behaved girl. In 1982, 18-year-old Maggie Cheung returned to Hong Kong, when she was smart and beautiful, walking on the street, and was also seen by a star scout, shooting her first advertisement in her life. It was also this experience that made Maggie Cheung have the idea of entering the entertainment industry. In 1983, Maggie Cheung signed up for the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, and her cute face and sweet smile won her the title of Hong Kong sister Yajun and the most photogenic miss. Subsequently, she was favored by TVB and successfully entered the show business circle. With her outstanding appearance, Maggie Cheung debuted as the heroine of the TV series to draw a rainbow, and was also favored by Wang Jing, starring in the first movie in her life, The Frog Prince, which also made her and Zhong Chuhong, who has a variety of styles, and became a girlfriend. However, after a few years, the two almost died because of the man's quarrel. In 1984, Maggie Cheung starred in the film with Cheung Kwok Wing and Mui Yanfang, and Fate also won the Nomination for Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards for her role in Monica. And then she and Liang Chaowei starred in the TV series Xinzha Brother after the broadcast of the fire, Maggie Cheung also rose at this time, becoming the TVB boss Hua Dan. However, although Maggie Cheung's fame has soared, the roles he plays are all cookie-cutter eyes and pouts, beautiful and beautiful, but soulless. Zhang Guorong said that his performance was too poor, and Liang Chaowei said directly that she did not understand acting and went home. And Hong Kong film critics have also commented that he is a vase walking around the screen. For Maggie Cheung at this time, making a movie is just a game, and his attitude towards the movie is just playing. However, when he later filmed the police story with Jackie Chan, it made him suffer a lot.
In 1985, Maggie Cheung's agent was replaced by Chen Ziqiang, who was also Chen Ziqiang's agent at that time. Before filming the police story, Chen Zi forcefully pushed Maggie Cheung to play the heroine Ami. Maggie Cheung, who was immature in acting during filming, could not enter the scene for a long time, and one shot was filmed more than 30 times. Jackie Chan was angry at that time, directly questioning Chen Ziqiang why he did not audition first, and after signing the contract, he also scolded Maggie Cheung to the point of bloodshed. And when Jackie Chan shouted again every time, Maggie Cheung's heart seemed to be half pierced, and it was only at this moment that she understood that acting was not just play. Since then, her attitude towards filming has changed 180 degrees, and she has also taken the initiative to find Jackie Chan to learn from the experience, which has greatly changed Jackie Chan's impression of him.
After this film, Maggie Cheung began to practice acting hard, and he wanted to get rid of the title of Hua Aping. However, it is not enough to work hard to become a film queen. After that, she starred in more than a dozen movies, and although her acting skills improved, she only played in the image of a playful and youthful girl. However, it was not long before he met his nobleman Wong Kar Wai. The film was a turning point after Maggie Cheung became a super film. In 1988, Sunglasses Wang Jiawei directed Virgo Mong Kok Carmen and invited Maggie Cheung, whose acting skills were criticized at that time. During the filming, Wong Kar-wai constantly guided Maggie Cheung and let him learn to integrate himself with the character. He said acting is not just about acting, but coexisting with the characters, transforming the performance from an external body into an expression of emotion.
Under wong kar-wai's teaching, Maggie Cheung finally knew how to find the entry point of affection. For the first time, he understood that he could still act like this. In the scene where he and Andy Lau are separated from each other at the station, he does not have to just say a few words, but just tilts his head and chokes, which hides the feelings of Ah Goose's desire to return to Hugh. With this role, Maggie Cheung was nominated for Best Actress for the first time, and he also got rid of the title of vase, which is another stage towards his acting career. And Maggie Cheung's encounter with Wong Kar-wai is the most beautiful encounter in the film industry, and this sentence also began here. In 1988 alone, Maggie Cheung made 11 films on the street, and Jackie Chan invited him to shoot a sequel to the police story. In 1989, Maggie Cheung's long-precipitated acting skills began to explode. This year, she won the first Taiwan Golden Horse Film in New York with a filmmaker, and then starred in a love movie, and the person who did not take off her socks won the first Hong Kong Golden Film Award. These two film queens have allowed Maggie Cheung to fully find self-confidence, and his acting skills have been completely recognized. But everyone did not expect that when Maggie Cheung flipped against the wind, fate made a joke with him.
In 1991, Maggie Cheung went to Shanghai to shoot a biographical film. Ruan Lingyu. Ruan Lingyu was a big star in the Republic of China period, but she committed suicide because of the fearful words of people. During that time, Maggie Cheung wore a cheongsam every day, imitating the walking and standing posture of a Republic of China woman to find the feeling of entering the play. In order to play this role perfectly, she shaved her beloved eyebrows with a fierce heart. At this time, her ex-boyfriend in the United States was unwilling to be dumped, and even made public the love letter written to her by Maggie Cheung and the intimate photo of the two. Soon Maggie Cheung became the biggest joke in Hong Kong.
When the news reached the Shanghai crew, Maggie Cheung was pushed into the wind and waves. At this moment, Maggie Cheung finally realized the true meaning of the four words that people are afraid of, and suddenly understood why a generation of superstar soft spirit domains would choose to commit suicide because of these four words. Then he turned his grief into strength and threw all the grievances, unwillingness and humiliation into the device. She wants to fight for Ruan Lingyu 60 years ago, and she also wants to fight for her current self. Maggie Cheung's acting skills finally began to explode, especially when he looked back at the inside story in the crowd, and the look in his eyes was so fierce and determined, that was his last resistance to this dirty world. Eventually, the joke ushered in the first peak of his acting career. With this film, Maggie Cheung swept the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards that year, and also won the best actress at the Berlin Film Festival, becoming the first actor in the Chinese film industry to win honors at the world's three major international film festivals. At this time, Maggie Cheung, who had just turned 28, fought a beautiful turnaround battle, and she completely opened her own play path. Since 1992, Maggie Cheung's explosive acting skills have given one wonderful role after another. The spicy and feminine jin inlaid jade in the new Dragon Gate Inn was played by her as one of the most classic characters in the history of martial arts movies, almost comparable to Lin Qingxia's Oriental Undefeated Green Snake, who has a graceful posture but does not understand the love of the world, which makes people love the right face. The second peak of Maggie Cheung's acting career is li qiao, who is strong and independent in sweet honey. To this day, the footage of him and Dawn riding a bicycle is still a bridge section that many idol dramas continue to imitate, as well as the crying scene of claiming the leopard brother's body, from the smile of seeing Mickey Mouse tattoos, to the acceptance of reality and finally complete collapse, which is called an acting textbook.
With this film, Maggie Cheung once again swept the Golden Elephant Awards and Golden Horse Awards, in addition to winning two best actresses from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society and the Asia Pacific Film Festival. In the past two thousand years, when filming the film Fancy Years, Maggie Cheung's acting skills have reached the realm of pure fire. She plays the noble and elegant Su Lizhen, and her demeanor and temperament are all a volume. With the fancy years, after Maggie Cheung defended the Academy Award for the fifth time, it can be said that she has become a lonely and defeated existence among actresses, and may not be cold in the high places. Since then, Maggie Cheung rarely appeared in films until 2003, when she came out again to star in a drama film directed by her ex-husband Olivier Assayas, Playing Emily, a rock singer who tried to get rid of the shadow of drugs. So far, she has spent a full 20 years to break through the cocoon into a butterfly, realizing the transformation of a vase to an international film queen, and he has also become a peak that is difficult to surpass in the Chinese film industry.
In 2003, the 40-year-old Maggie Cheung was formally attracted, and he refused to accept invitations from directors such as Wong Kar-wai and Jiang Wen. However, the 2013 Golden Horse Awards ceremony once again pushed him to the limelight. At that time, the organizers arranged for her and Andy Lau to present awards to Zhang Ziyi, who won the film. However, when it came to the award, Maggie Cheung repeatedly refused to give the award to Zhang Ziyi, and the scene once fell into embarrassment.
On such a grand occasion, why did Maggie Cheung do such a move? Some people say that it is because in the early years when they worked together, Zhang Ziyi intended to add drama, and Maggie Cheung's play was deleted, from the main role to a special appearance. Some people also say that the memoir of Yi ji that did not make Zhang Ziyi famous was originally intended for Maggie Cheung to star, but at the last moment it became Zhang Ziyi. In 2014, at the Shanghai Strawberry Music Festival, Maggie Cheung sang a sweet song with her head exploded. It's just that as soon as she opened her mouth, she was pushed into the hot search because of the out-of-tune. But he didn't care. I.
Acted in more than 20 plays, and also gave people vases, so give me 20 chances, I should be able to.
It's true that the world is so big, there are so many things worth experiencing, and he made so many movies when he was young, leaving his best side on the big screen. This is enough time for the rest of her life, let the goddess enjoy life freely. Sing when you want to sing, act when you want to, just like he refused to give the award, this is the dashing and casual Maggie Cheung.
