On an ordinary night, Maggie Cheung suddenly settled in Douyin.
Her videos have no noisy whole work, no exaggerated special effects, just some daily work, as if out of step with this impetuous era.
She rode the streets of Paris, every strand of her hair moving with it.
It also shows elegance to the photographer's lens.
The gentle posture and elegant temperament made the audience exclaim that the man god is still the man god.
Maggie Cheung rose by 440,000 fans a day, but the number of fans today is only stuck at 550,000.
Compared with a group of Internet celebrities and traffic stars, it is really a little "can't get hands".
Maggie Cheung won't care about that.
She never planned, just read it together and did it.
This is Maggie Cheung's style.
But before becoming such a free and casual person, she went through too much.
A day when beauty is the enemy
Now, almost no one thinks Maggie Cheung is not beautiful.
In the entertainment industry decades ago, Maggie Cheung was beautiful and also a consensus.
When director Yang Fan filmed "The Story of the Rose", he once asked the original author Yishu who played the role of "Rose" in the book.
Yishu didn't think much, so he said Maggie Cheung's name: "As soon as she appears, those beautiful legs kill people, I don't care if she can act, as long as she comes out, I want to watch." ”
But in the grand praise, Maggie Cheung did not dare to raise her head for a while.
In the eyes of 18-year-old Maggie Cheung, she is an ugly duckling, only worthy of looking up at those waddling white swans.

Even in the Miss Hong Kong audition, winning the runner-up and the "Miss Most Photogenic Award" in one fell swoop, the crown on her head was shining, turning into a ticket to enter the entertainment industry, Maggie Cheung did not accept her beauty.
She once said that she was not good-looking, so she could only prove herself by acting.

It was during the filming of this "Police Story" that Maggie Cheung played Jackie Chan's girlfriend Ame, but she was unable to enter the play.
provoked Jackie Chan to get angry on the spot: "Do you know how much film you need to use in a second?!" Do you know how many people's time have been delayed because of you alone? ”
Maggie Cheung felt aggrieved and shed tears on the set, but after crying and wiping her tears and acting, once it didn't work twice, twice if it didn't work three times, Maggie Cheung, who didn't admit defeat, finally filmed more than thirty times, and even Jackie Chan couldn't stand it, just said forget it.
But Maggie Cheung refused to give up, that is, she wanted to act until Jackie Chan was satisfied.
And all action scenes, as long as Jackie Chan gave an order, Maggie Cheung personally went into battle, insisting on not using a stand-in, even if it rolled down more than a dozen steps.
A few years later, Jackie Chan saw that this little girl was fighting hard enough and invited her to star in "Police Story 2", inadvertently brewing Maggie Cheung's ordeal.
In "Police Story 2", there is a shot that requires Maggie Cheung to run through more than a dozen iron frames.
But because of the staff's mistakes, the iron frame fell too fast, and an iron frame smashed heavily on Maggie Cheung's head, making her blood flow, and she received 17 stitches, almost disfigured.
But after returning to the studio after being discharged from the hospital, Maggie Cheung still did not use a stand-in when shooting.
On TVB's New Year program, Maggie Cheung once performed a trapeze man.
She didn't learn acrobatics at all, and if she was not careful, she would break her tendons and fractures, which really made the audience in front of the TV sweat.
But in order to prove herself, she practiced for months, grinding cocoons in both hands, and finally risked going on stage.
When Maggie Cheung first debuted, the outside world thought that she was just eating with a face, and the criticism from the film critics was particularly sharp -
"She makes the impression that there is really nothing worth mentioning except beauty", "She is just a vase walking around the screen".
But this fragile vase in the eyes of the world tries to prove itself through repeated beatings that it is made of steel.
Lin Qingxia once said: "All of us know Maggie Cheung's beauty, only she herself does not know. ”
Such Maggie Cheung is stubborn enough and distressing enough.
Beauty and fighter
Later, Maggie Cheung began to accept her beauty.
In one movie after another, she has created many characters with different styles, all of which make people move because of their beauty.
In "New Dragon Gate Inn", she played the hostess with gold and jade, which has a heroic and sassy sexy beauty.
She was even able to steal Lin Qingxia's limelight.
Li An, who was cautious in his words and deeds, also sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Anyone standing beside Lin Qingxia is easily without brilliance. Maggie Cheung is an exception. ”
She plays the green snake in "Green Snake", which has a cold and wild enchanting beauty.
In "In the Mood for Love", she is like a person and a cheongsam in one, creating an elegant beauty.
There is also the beloved sorrowful beauty in "Ruan Lingyu".
Acting is important, but only by recognizing and fully mobilizing one's own beauty can the character be given a true soul.
This can achieve the realm of human drama unity, otherwise a little screwed, there is no way to present a perfect state.
Growing with beauty is Maggie Cheung's "rebellion".
During the filming of "Ruan Lingyu", her love letters were exposed, and the media ridiculed her for her low level of education and typo.
Ruan Lingyu was attacked by gossip, and finally left a sentence of "human words are terrible", and gave up her life.
But in the interview of the movie, when asked what she would do when she encountered the same thing, Maggie Cheung just smiled and said: "I can't let them succeed." ”
When she became an Academy Award actress with "Ruan Lingyu", in the face of various doubts from the outside world, Maggie Cheung stood on the stage, radiant, and used her sonorous and powerful words as cannonballs to deny her.
This may be Maggie Cheung, the more the outside world denies her and bullies her, the more she wants everyone to see her achievements.
With this gas, Maggie Cheung turned into a ruthless award-winning machine - 4-time Golden Horse Award actress, 5 Academy Award actress, a Berlin film queen and a Cannes film queen.
She is like a fighter, using acting skills and awards to prove herself, and doing her best to smash the rumors that others throw casually.
But her shoulders also carry the weight of others' eyes.
Fight alone for love
Maggie Cheung has made rapid progress in her career, but her love road has stumbled.
Because she is always fully committed to every relationship.
In her first love, Maggie Cheung rejected a lot of good scripts on the grounds that she didn't want to film intimate scenes in order not to let her boyfriend Eric think too much.
The media published an article criticizing: "Maggie Cheung is enjoying the pleasure of chronic suicide! But Maggie Cheung didn't care at that time.
But not long after, Eric's ex-girlfriend came forward to accuse Maggie Cheung of being a mistress, and Maggie Cheung learned that the man she loved was also disconnected from her ex-girlfriend when he lived with her.
In order to maintain the relationship "self-destructive future", but became a junior, Maggie Cheung had to leave the scene sadly.
After that, Maggie Cheung went to the United States to film "A Tale of Two Cities" and fell in love with a local staff member Hank.
But it was this Hank, because of his love for vanity, who handed over the love letter written to him to the media, causing Maggie Cheung to be ridiculed by the crowd.
Later, Maggie Cheung met a real estate businessman Song Xueqi, and the two were very affectionate, and even reported that they were going to get married for a while.
Later, Hong Kong suffered a real estate crisis, and Song Xueqi's business also fell to the bottom.
In order to help Song Xueqi tide over the difficulties, Maggie Cheung took out her savings for many years, but it didn't take long for the money to be lost.
In order to make a quick comeback, Song Xueqi climbed a rich family, leaving Maggie Cheung alone to face the media "Maggie Cheung encountered thin lovers, and the people and wealth were empty!" The title was secretly sad.
It seems that no matter how many times she is deceived, Maggie Cheung can have a passion for love and devote herself to every love.
In the program, when asked by the host why she fell in love, Maggie Cheung replied seriously: "It's very depressing to talk without love." ”
It is as indispensable as being loved as air.
This has to do with her unfortunate childhood.
She grew up in the UK, just arrived in the UK, did not understand the language, looked different from the people around her, and often had to endure the strange eyes of others.
When she got home, there was no one to comfort her, and her parents were just busy arguing all day.
In addition, her mother always whipped her with a vine and let her say that she would be whipped a few times, but no matter how Maggie Cheung answered, her mother was not enough.
The neighbor couldn't see it and wanted to help Maggie Cheung call the police, but Maggie Cheung cried and begged him not to go: "Don't, I will be killed." ”
Years later, someone asked Maggie Cheung how to enter the play faster when performing sadness? She shook her head and said helplessly, Just think about my mother.
The lack of love in her childhood made Maggie Cheung grow up to be madly eager to be loved, thirsty for affirmation, and did not care whether love made her heart full of holes.
The way to reconciliation
As she grew older, Maggie Cheung finally found a way to reconcile with herself.
Over the years, negative words such as losing weight, getting older, and describing withering have been added to her by the media again and again.
It seems that everyone is happy to watch the beauty late, and as if everyone wants to prove that Maggie Cheung's beauty that she has worked so hard to manage was discarded by her.

But while the outside world was busy mocking her, she had already understood the true meaning of beauty.
She said: "Beauty is not everything, it is a waste of life. Beauty must be added to taste, happiness, and other things, is the fulfillment of life. ”
She is still fully committed to every relationship, but she no longer craves intimacy too much and regards intimacy as a lifesaver.
The intimacy that made her feel uncomfortable, she withdrew in time.
Since winning the Cannes Film, Maggie Cheung has really faded out of the film industry except for occasional guest appearances in some small roles.
The acting career that has been fighting for half his life, stop and stop, as if there is no nostalgia.
Because Maggie Cheung found another path.
Decades ago, when she first debuted, the host asked Maggie Cheung, if she could choose her talent, what would she choose?
Maggie Cheung didn't think much about it, so she chose the talent that least needed beauty - singing.
Today, the prosperity of Hong Kong is in the past, the golden age of Hong Kong cinema has been sealed into memories, and Maggie Cheung has begun to return to pursue the career she has chosen but never got up to pursue.
In 2014, Maggie Cheung signed with Modern Sky as an "independent musician".
She appeared on the stage of the Shanghai stage of the Strawberry Music Festival and sang a rock version of "Sweet Honey".
However, the husky voice, the out-of-tune singing voice, was ridiculed as "the voice abandoned by God".

Two days later, she returned to the Beijing stage, the wind was howling, and the stage was about to collapse, but Maggie Cheung still insisted on singing.
The staff came to pull her away, and she put down the microphone and reluctantly shouted: "I don't want to stop!" ”
Decades ago, Maggie Cheung was always said to be beautiful, but she proved herself, and this time, she also hopes to fight for more opportunities for her beloved singing career.
And she did.
A year later, the song "If Without You" that she wrote, composed and sang became the theme song of the movie "City in Love".
Five years later, netizens found the familiar name on a list of Hong Kong composers and members of the Composers Association.
She is also becoming more and more free and casual.
She buys a stall for more than a dozen dollars, and doesn't care about other people's eyes.
Even though she is already famous, she still travels by subway in Beijing, saying she doesn't want to wait until she is 80 to lament that she has not taken the subway.
She began to learn to cut films, spending a day in her friend's editing room, and this time the video released by Douyin was edited by herself.

She freely tasted the fireworks of the world, trying every possibility.
I hope Maggie Cheung can continue to be relaxed and free so much, not only because she is a star, a movie queen who once reigned high on the altar, and a unique goddess in my mind.
And because she let me know -
Live in your own love, not in the expectations of others.
