Some time ago, a news about a female financial executive filming an ancient puppet drama with Xiao Xianrou at her own expense was on the hot search,
Many netizens expressed their envy below, wondering if this is "the happiness of a rich woman?" ”
In fact, there is a precedent in the entertainment industry for such a "rich woman" to invest in her own filming.
However, not everyone was treated rationally like this time before,
Many times, this kind of behavior of "rich women" bringing funds into the group will cause extreme disgust among the audience,
Some people will be chased and scolded for more than twenty years,
Among them, the most representative is the heroine Yang Junjun in "Ximen No Hate".
In 2000, the TV series "Ximen No Hate" was controversial as soon as it was released,
Among them, the most criticized is the casting of the heroine,
Because this Ximen Wuhate, who is known as the "first beauty of martial arts", is really too far from the imagination of the audience.
It was clearly said that it was "Xi Shi", but it was "Dong Shi" who came in the end!
Later, an insider broke the news,
The choice of the heroine is not decided by the director,
The reason why it will become "Dongshi" is entirely because the "rich woman" invested 30 million yuan to buy this role,
And this "rich woman" is Yang Junjun!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion,
Even today, many years later, people still find out this incident as a laughing stock.
"Cologne was killed by her, right?"
"This picture is simply worse than death!"
"Is this the first person in show business who doesn't have a self-known name?"
On the Internet, now a casual search can see countless bad comments about Yang Junjun,
Some of the words are vicious, even unbelievable,
At one time, people thought that Yang Junjun had violated some heavenly precepts and was like some heinous sinner.
However, unlike many resentful netizens,
Several actors who are the parties have other views on Yang Junjun,
For example, Liu Dekai, who has always been sympathetic and "oiled", responded in an interview,
He and Jiao Enjun and Yang Junjun have been friends for many years,
The two of them came to help in this drama, not some "rich woman's task",
Even he said angrily:
"Why use such a malicious word as Aunt Simon to call a woman?"
So, why did Yang Junjun receive such two diametrically opposed evaluations in the mouths of netizens and parties?
Why did she insist on acting in this play back then?
All this has to start with an agreement that spans more than ten years!
01 It used to be a fragrant flower, and the flowers bloomed ten miles in summer
In 1956, an 18-year-old Taipei high school student became famous with the novel "From North to South",
At the same time, the pen name he used "Gulong" also began to be known to the world.
Also in this year, on the treasure island, which has always been rich and beautiful, another beauty was ushered in,
And she is Yang Junjun.
As a rich lady born with a "golden key", Yang Junjun has had the power to choose countless preferences since she was a child,
However, more than other things, she prefers to stay at home and "gnaw" on novels all day,
Especially those that ordinary boys like,
There are martial arts novels with a lot of "fighting, killing and killing" plots, which makes her extremely fascinated,
And this also made her gradually "secretly in love" with a man she had never met at the age of the beginning of her relationship,
He is the ancient dragon.
In fact, Cologne has never regarded himself as such an upright person.
He loves beauty, he loves wine,
Especially after becoming famous, it is lingering in the world of various lights and wine,
For this reason, he often drunk himself, and his personality is more impulsive, often drunk and broke into some "big disasters",
The most typical is the "Blood Spatter Song Pavilion" of the year.
Because of this, although Gulong is very good at "socializing", there are only a few friends who can really make friends with him.
Most people treat him as a play, for profit,
And this is also the reason why Gulong often faces a house full of friends after getting drunk and laughs at himself as a "lonely man".
(Cologne)
In 1973, 17-year-old Yang Junjun suddenly broke into the world of Gulong.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who was a whole round younger than himself, Gulong didn't care too much at first,
Although Yang Junjun had grown at that time, it was very beautiful,
But compared to the tender peaches, Cologne obviously prefers the enthusiastic dragon fruit,
It wasn't until Yang Junjun took out the gift he brought that made Gulong change his look.
A whole 100 bottles of fine wine!
In fact, before Yang Junjun, it was not that no one gave him what he liked and gave good wine to cologne,
But at the beginning, it was so generous, but it was really "a big girl on the palanquin - the first time".
Obviously, for the gift brought by Yang Junjun, Gulong was very satisfied,
And this also made him look at Yang Junjun more and more pleasantly, and when he saw him too late, he wanted to become close friends with him.
It turns out that no man can refuse the charm of a "rich woman", not to mention that this rich woman is so young and beautiful.
In the following years, every once in a while, Yang Junjun would send some good wine to Gulong,
And this back and forth also made the friendship between the two deeper and deeper,
Even Gulong often takes out his unpublished new manuscript and "opens a small stove" for Yang Junjun to watch in advance,
You must know that Gulong has always attached great importance to his manuscripts, and even his apprentice will be furious when he touches it on weekdays,
It can be seen that the weight of Yang Junjun in Gulong's heart.
In 1978, someone approached Gu Long and wanted to adapt his novel "The Legend of Peach Blossoms" into a play and invited him to be the screenwriter.
As the exclusive privilege of "editor-in-chief", Gulong had a quota for inwardly promoted actors at that time,
But where did Gulong remember the name of any star, on a whim, he simply wrote Yang Junjun's name up,
After that, he continued to have fun and put this matter behind him.
Yang Junjun, who completely ignored the other side who had somehow received the play, looked confused.
As a generation that grew up in the golden period of the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry, in fact, Yang Junjun is not without the idea of being a star,
But the family background behind her obviously cannot allow her to be so willful,
Therefore, when Gulong handed the opportunity in front of her, she was surprised and a little excited,
Therefore, Yang Junjun did not refuse the "absurd" invitation of Gulong for the first time,
Instead, he found Gulong in the "gentle township" and asked him a question:
"I've never acted before, choose me as the protagonist, Brother Yaohua, aren't you afraid that I will ruin your work?"
However, who knew that Gulong actually smiled and replied with a sentence that she would never forget:
"No one is a natural protagonist, and in the world of martial arts, everyone is the protagonist!"
It was Gu Long's words that made Yang Junjun, who has always played a "good girl" at home, completely determined,
In order to dream of "deviant" once, step into the entertainment industry.
But at that time, she must not have imagined that 20 years later, she would pay a "heavy" price for this decision she made.
02 An appointment, an appointment that crosses the river of time
In June 1979, under the recommendation of Gu Long, Yang Junjun finally realized his dream and starred in his first work.
Although, probably because the main screenwriter is a little lazy, resulting in a slightly hasty ending, the final movie is not too outstanding,
But this opportunity allowed Yang Junjun to find self-confidence, and since then he has been out of control on the road of the entertainment industry.
In 1980, Yang Junjun, who was infected with "drama addiction", decided to invest in shooting a movie himself,
So, she used 200 bottles of top-quality brandy from Cologne in exchange for the copyright of the novel "The Legend of the New Moon".
From the perspective of others, it can be said that this is almost the "most loss" transaction that Gulong has ever made,
But for Gulong himself, the deal made him very happy,
Obviously, Yang Junjun had completely pinched this man.
In fact, looking back on Yang Junjun's acting career, she has acted in a lot of plays,
But if you take a closer look, you will find that these plays will have a common feature, that is, the original author is all "ancient dragon",
Therefore, it is not too much to say that Yang Junjun is Gulong's "royal heroine",
This also led to such a sentence in the Hong Kong film industry at that time:
"In Gulong's martial arts world, Yang Junjun is the only goddess, and all the protagonists revolve around her!"
However, having said that, although Yang Junjun played almost all the heroines in the "ancient dragon world",
But in these worlds, the "male protagonist" is respected, and no matter how bright the "female protagonist" is, after all, it is just a foil,
This makes the plays played by Yang Junjun, the male protagonist without exception all on fire, but she is still "unknown".
Faced with this situation, Cologne, who is a friend, naturally sees it all in his eyes,
Because of this, he decided to write a work with women as the protagonists.
It is not only to fill the gap in his writing career, but also to give Yang Junjun an opportunity to become popular,
And in the end, he fell on a supporting character he once wrote called "Ximen No Hate",
It was decided to take this character out and write some stories separately.
However, there were unexpected storms in the sky, just when Gulong made up his mind to temporarily quit alcohol and "make books behind closed doors",
God gave him a heavy blow, making his last wish an eternal regret.
He's sick.
In fact, as early as a long time ago, Gulong was once hospitalized for excessive alcohol addiction,
When he was about to be discharged from the hospital, the doctor even took his hand and told him that if this continues, sooner or later his life will be in danger.
However, Gulong, who thinks he is "heroic and invincible", may listen to the advice of others.
But Gulong has no peerless martial arts after all, and he still hasn't been able to withstand the erosion of desire in the end with a mortal body,
After another punch and overdrinking, he completely collapsed.
At the time of death, the last thing Gulong was concerned about was "Ximen has no hatred",
As a "hero", he really can't bear the flaws in his life,
But since the destiny of heaven, why should man disobey it?
In order to reassure the master, Ding Qing, who is the apprentice of Gulong, tearfully assured the master,
Even if he squanders the pen and ink of his whole body, he will definitely complete this work,
And Yang Junjun on the side also promised Gulong that he would do his best to help bring this work to the world.
With the assurances of the two, Gulong closed his eyes and stuck his time at the age of 48 forever.
Moving forward with other people's dreams is extremely tiring.
Probably in order to live up to the expectations of the master, Ding Qing stayed up for 8 years before he wrote the satisfactory "Ximen No Hate",
However, although Ding Qing here brings his own work of affection,
But the years over there have ruthlessly left scars on Yang Junjun's body,
8 years of waiting is too long and too long for a woman.
In 1993, after getting the script of "Ximen No Hate", Yang Junjun was immediately ready to start shooting,
At this time, she was 37 years old.
Perhaps, at that time, Yang Junjun herself had realized that age might become an obstacle to her realization of the agreement,
So she chose to test the water and shoot the movie version first, and then make plans to see how the audience reacted.
However, Yang Junjun obviously ignored a problem, that is, time does not stand still,
During this period of waiting for audience feedback, it will still move forward.
(Movie version of "Simon No Hate")
03 After all, it is difficult to defeat the years
In fact, the movie version of "Ximen No Hate" is really not bad,
Even if the traces of the years on Yang Junjun's face at that time were relatively obvious, "flaws cannot be hidden",
With the blessing of acting skills and plot, it will not feel too dramatic,
Even later, this drama was recognized by CCTV and broadcast by the sixth princess.
Obviously, this move, Yang Junjun went right,
But it was also this right move that made Yang Junjun make up his mind to "make dangerous moves", and finally ended up in defeat.
In 1997, Yang Junjun brought 30 million family businesses that he had accumulated for many years,
Spent a lot of money to rent the filming base of CCTV, and decided to shoot the TV series version of "Ximen No Hate".
In order to make this drama exciting enough, Yang Junjun specially found his friends Jiao Enjun and Liu Dekai to help,
Let these two "popular boys" play the two male protagonists in the play.
But despite Yang Junjun's investment of so much energy, the birth of this drama is still very bumpy.
During the filming, there was a scene that required Yang Junjun to hang Weiya from the sky,
Under normal circumstances, like this kind of high-risk shot, most crews will hire stuntmen to shoot as stand-ins,
But when Yang Junjun faced this scene, regardless of the dissuasion of his friends, he insisted on going into battle in person,
After all, even if the stand-in looks like it, it is a stand-in after all, and she doesn't want this play to leave a little flaw.
However, sometimes it is such a coincidence, when Yang Junjun was filming this scene, the originally very reliable WIA suddenly broke,
She herself fell directly from a height of several meters, although after rescue there was no danger to her life,
But a cracked thigh still left him in bed for most of the year.
"Why do you have to fight like that? What should we do if something really goes wrong with you! ”
As a friend, Liu Dekai looked at Yang Junjun distressedly,
He really didn't understand what it was that made a weak woman want to do this, taking her life to "gamble".
However, in the face of Liu Dekaide's worry, Yang Junjun was full of nonchalance, and replied to him with a smile:
"This is an agreement with Brother Yaohua, and you know me, either don't do it, or do it best!"
A promise, for the agreement does not hesitate to fight,
This is the heroic way of "Gulong World"!
And Yang Junjun is the best "practitioner"!
After nearly a year of shooting, this "Ximen No Hate" was finally filmed,
But probably heaven played, in the post-editing time,
A sudden typhoon and rain flooded Yang Junjun's rented studio, damaging all the mastertapes that he spent 30 million yuan to shoot.
And this also led to the final death of the drama in the middle of the process, and did not really appear in front of the audience.
However, just when everyone, including Yang Junjun, thought that this would be a pity,
I don't know who threw part of the mastering of this drama on the Internet,
This also results in most of the unedited footage being exposed to the viewer.
And among them, there are famous scenes with those spicy eyes,
The most typical is the part where Jiao Enjun calls Yang Junjun a "silly girl".
In fact, such a picture, a discerning person can see the problem, Yang Junjun is obviously impossible to ignore,
As part of the script, even if it is filmed "according to the script", it is likely to become the object of later editing,
That is to say, this scene should not have appeared in front of the audience,
However, under the blessing of various accidents, it finally appeared,
Therefore, it caused Yang Junjun to suffer the calamity of invincibility.
04 After all, it is difficult to be calm
In fact, if you don't say it, few people probably know,
Although some of the pictures of "Ximen No Hate" are very "spicy eyes", the reality is really not so outrageous.
At the height of the rumors, it was rumored on the Internet that Yang Junjun used huge funds to force Jiao Enjun and Liu Dekai to star,
Think that this is a drama of red fruit "rich women eating young grass",
For this reason, many people who listen to it take it as the truth, and gradually no one will find out whether it is true or false.
But if you look it up a little, it's not hard to find,
The so-called "fresh meat" Liu Dekai is actually three years older than Yang Junjun.
It can only be said that the years are really much more tolerant of men than for women.
After filming "Ximen No Hate", she gradually faded out of the entertainment industry after fulfilling all her wishes and promises,
Fortunately, due to unproficiency in Internet operation,
In fact, for a long time, Yang Junjun did not know the bad comments about her on the Internet,
It wasn't until 2016 that she learned all about it from a friend.
Please think about it, if one day, when you open your eyes, you find that the whole world is insulting and insulting you.
Do you feel like your whole life is going to collapse because of this?
Some friends may think that such a thing will not happen,
But in the real world, this cruel everything is Yang Junjun's personal experience.
However, fortunately, there is still warmth in the world,
In the midst of many scoldings, there is still a slight starlight flickering,
And Yang Junjun chose to forget the dark night around him and looked up at this little bit of starlight.
In the end, under the interweaving of various emotions, Yang Junjun wrote a sincere letter to netizens.
At the end of the letter, she made a promise to those who would believe in her,
Will definitely let "Ximen No Hate" be reborn and give them an explanation.
In 2018, CCTV finally released the genuine drama of "Ximen No Hate",
In the plot of these 29 episodes, "Ximen No Hate" is obviously not as bad as before,
If the audience had seen these at first glance, they might not have had so much malice.
But the world doesn't have that many ifs after all.
In fact, age is really the biggest enemy of actors, especially women.
Even if it is Zhang Ziyi, because she plays a girl at the age of 38, she was scolded on the hot search last year and accused of "pretending to be tender",
And Yang Mi, who has always been a "goddess" in the ancient puppet world, has quietly begun to transform recently, intending to open the next chapter of his life.
After Gulong left, Yang Junjun basically did not shoot any new dramas,
After entering the 90s, in addition to the two "Ximen No Hate" in the film and TV series, there was only one "Phoenix Dance for Nine Days".
It is not difficult to see that as he gets older, Yang Junjun actually does not plan to continue filming,
But the agreement with Gulong drove her to hold on for 10 years, and these 10 years, the years did not give her the opportunity to wait.
Perhaps, this is the sadness of life.
So ah, friend, in many cases, time really does not wait for people,
While you are young, please chase your dreams presumptuously, and don't disappoint every Shaohua,
Perhaps each of us cannot resist the passage of time, but we can fill each part of the years with actions,
And those years that are enriched will eventually become a hotbed for us to sleep soundly in the future!
