Since her debut, her career has been quite lucky, and she is recognized as the "Son of Heaven's Daughter" in Hong Kong, so it is inevitable to be young and arrogant, but she did not understand at that time, and fate was ready at a certain moment.
After giving birth to a serious illness, she seems to have no chance to regain her former glory, but at this moment, she has long ceased to put fame and fortune first.
She began to know how to be a relaxed and low-key woman, enjoy life to the fullest, enrich herself, even if she lives alone now, but follow her heart to do herself well, life will become more abundant and comfortable.
Slack is also a life
Relaxation
In the recent controversial "Infinite Beyond Class", his eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Keyi's figure.
Although wrinkles climb on the corners of her eyes, compared with the cold and unconventional beauty of her youth, the 53-year-old has a little more soft and loose charm.
During Xue Kaiqi's interview, Hui Yinghong, who also suffered from depression, was obviously quite interested in her, persuading her to force herself out of her comfort zone and break the curse of "40-year-old girlhood", so that she could have more opportunities to challenge different roles.
Zhang Keyi, who has always been quiet next to him and has also suffered from depression, has a different opinion.
When Xue Kaiqi said, "As a woman, you can't only have one job", she issued a heartfelt agreement, "Life is not just an actor, now she is the most comfortable self." ”
As one of the five Hua Dan of TVB's millennium and the first sister of Hong Kong TV, she is different from Hui Yinghong, who grew up at the bottom of Hong Kong and has been climbing all the way, and her debut is the peak, and she is in contact with famous directors, excellent teams and scripts.
Not to mention the beauty of appearance, and the talent of the body, although it is not from the class, the acting skills are recognized by the audience.
In the classic version of "The Condor Heroes" by Gu Tianle Li Ruotong, in which Cheng Ying, who is as pale as a daisy, is the most loved version by the audience;
An Qian, who is meticulous at the center of the classic palace fighting drama "Golden Bough Desire", is almost the most glorious role in her masterpiece.
However, a serious illness brought her originally vigorous career to a halt for nearly three years.
But it was also during this time that Zhang Keyi seemed to see through life at once, and he had no interest in pursuing fame and fortune, "Everything is fake, the most important thing is that I want to keep myself healthy, I know how precious this thing is." ”
Zhang Keyi, who has become relaxed, is more comfortable in controlling his life.
Zhang Keyi was born in a middle-class family, with four sisters in the family, ranking the second oldest, so she was called "Miss Zhang Er" by people in the circle.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is Miss Qianjin, because life is going well, and when she was young, she had the willfulness and arrogance of the eldest miss.
As a child, she attended the prestigious St. Mary's College of Canossa, where she excelled in her studies and won the first place in her class in the school examination. At the age of thirteen, she was sent to England by her parents with her third sister and was finally admitted to the University of Manchester.
When she returned to Hong Kong for the summer vacation, she worked as a summer job at a friend's company, doing some design and drawing work.
At that time, 19-year-old Zhang Keyi was green and beautiful, with a cold temperament, but by chance she was walking on the street with an umbrella after watching a play with her classmates, and she was discovered by the sharp-eyed director Tsui Hark and Chen Huilin's agent Zhong Zhen, asking her if she was interested in trying to make a movie.
The ignorant Zhang Keyi didn't know who Tsui Hark really was, and under the coaxing of his classmates, he decided to give it a try.
Who would have thought that the first time to make a movie was "The True Color of Heroes 3", directly working with big names such as Chow Yun-fat, Leung Ka Fai, Anita Mui, etc., although it is only a small role, but the starting point is very high for others.
During this period, Zhang Keyi also made a guest appearance in the wireless sitcom "Kara House Enterprise", because of her vulgar appearance, she was even called a "rising star in the film industry" by Anita Mui.
After filming, Zhang Keyi did not miss the show business too much, but she was also confused for a while, always thinking about what she would do in the future, and then she decided to suspend classes for a year to keep her degree and continue to explore her life in Hong Kong.
Because of doing some part-time advertising work, when an advertising model auditioned, I met musician Jung Kyung-ki and asked her if she was interested in singing and releasing records. At that time, Zhang Keyi's job was not very stable, and he was young, and he wanted to try more possibilities, so he agreed.
Soon, she debuted as a member of the group Peanut Girls, and three years later, the company collapsed, and she decisively quit the music scene, which is also her second withdrawal.
For other people, he had to sharpen his head and enter the entertainment industry, but 23-year-old Zhang Keyi crossed the financial circle to take a certificate and ran to work at the Hong Kong Futures Exchange.
With her excellence, even if she works hard in the financial circle, she must have made a career, but sometimes fate is so wonderful, it drags Zhang Keyi back to the entertainment industry.
In 1994, in a Hong Kong beauty pageant, her then boyfriend Dong Bo helped her submit an application form.
Speaking of this matter, this matter is also quite dramatic, her boyfriend has been asking her why she didn't participate in the beauty pageant, but Zhang Keyi has no idea about this, until once she had dinner with friends, they all provoked her to say: Why, don't you dare to go?
"Just go!" Stimulated, Zhang Keyi immediately hit the trick.
When she arrived at the beauty pageant, Zhang Keyi behaved quite willfully, and Zeng Zhiwei once commented on her on the show: After hosting a Hong Kong sister for 18 years, it was the first time she saw such a freewheeling person.
During the backstage rehearsal, others wore high heels to rehearse, only she wore slippers and did not wear makeup, Zeng Zhiwei was surprised and asked her if she didn't use rehearsals, but Zhang Keyi waved his hand and said: What kind of rehearsal, just do it, if it doesn't work, it can't.
Who would have thought that she became a big hit at that time, and although she did not have the opportunity to enter the top three, she won the "Most Actor Potential Award".
After that, she signed directly with TVB and embarked on the road of actress.
However, behind the appearance of smooth sailing, there are also the consequences of her willful arrogance.
After entering the industry for a year, she began to be popular after doing some supporting roles, and in 1996, she played the first female lead in "Hell's Angels" for the first time, and her short hair style was quite eye-catching.
In 1997, she and Xuan Xuan cooperated in the filming of "Hard Brother and Hard Brother", because the role of Cheng Baozhu was too good, and she became popular after being nominated for Best Actress.
It is good to be famous, but she was added to the media because she was late, and she had a so-called scolding war of the century with Xuanxuan.
The media asked why the TV series could not be completed, Xuan Xuan said that Zhang Keyi was always late, Zhang Keyi said that Xuan Xuan loved to laugh unprofessionally, and said bad things about himself behind his back with others.
As a result, the Hong Kong media exaggerated, and the two directly became mortal enemies.
In 2003, the role of Lu Siniang played by her in "Nine Five Supreme" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and won the backlash.
It was originally a happy thing, but she made a disturbance again because of "wild words".
When she won the award, she ignored the congratulations of her unsuccessful peers and excitedly shouted "yes" and went straight to the podium.
After the end, when the reporter asked her what she thought of other actresses according to the custom, if it was just official praise and would not offend people, Zhang Keyi carefully analyzed it.
Who knew that the Hong Kong media turned back and added oil and vinegar, writing "She Shiman needs to work harder" and "Guo Keying did not get the award because of the lack of representative works".
Because of the misunderstanding, Guo Keying choked in turn: "Justice is in people's hearts!" Whether there is a masterpiece is not said by her (Zhang Keyi) alone. I was very happy that she had won the award, believing that she had won too few awards, so I was very excited. "
There were a lot of such storms, but Zhang Keyi was young but had no time to take care of it, her life was filled with work, and her heart was also very heavy, "I used to think that I would win awards when filming, and how many ratings would be when the drama was filmed, otherwise it would not work." ”
Until 2005, during the filming of "Long Hate Song", because she was too involved in filming, coupled with the departure of her dog for 16 years, she was sad and overly depressed, and later unfortunately suffered from hyperthyroidism, did not eat or sleep, and was emaciated.
In order to treat hyperthyroidism, she visited all the famous doctors, and she had no time to take care of her emotional problems, and as a result, taking medicine caused her to become fat, and her body was deteriorating, and she couldn't keep up with the progress of the shooting.
After weighing it again, Zhang Keyi decided to suspend all work and choose to rest, at that time, she had not filmed again for nearly three years.
"I think everyone has lows and highs, and everyone needs time to settle themselves, because if you know how to stop, you will go further."
When not filming, in addition to seeing a doctor, Zhang Keyi began to really know herself, and also began to know where she needed to remedy and correct the most.
She started doing what she had always wanted to do, reading, writing, visiting friends, traveling, and her mindset was well adjusted.
Returning again, Zhang Keyi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, became a new self, relaxed, soft and casual.
When she was interviewed about the discord with Xuanxuan in the past, she confessed that she was young at that time and did not know how to solve the problem, so that the media would take advantage of the void and cause misunderstanding.
In 2019, she visited Xuanxuan, the two took a peaceful photo, and she also helped Xuanxuan publicize the stage play of "The Great Resignation Day" and reached a century reconciliation.
She began to reflect on her tardiness problem, saying that she was young and insensible, and lacked a sense of time, which would cause so much trouble.
And when people asked about her grudges or emotional gossip with other Hua Dan, she no longer answered impulsively, but laughed it off: "Alas, I can't help how they want to write, I say I'm gay when I eat with girls, and when I eat with my old man, I say that I am covered by rich businessmen, whatever they say, I just laugh it off, not very attentive." ”
Although her career is not as beautiful as when she was at her peak, in addition to Hong Kong, she will also try to develop in the mainland, and she can be seen in "The Legend of Lu Zhen", "Stranger in the Wind" and "Bei Shang Guang Don't Believe in Tears".
As long as she can act, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, she is as willing as a glutton.
In addition to acting, Zhang Keyi also tried his hosting career, always nervous and forgetful at first, his expression was tense, and later he gradually did it handy.
But she seems to be less workaholic than she used to be, but less frequent filming and more devoted to her own life.
She has set up the Zunzi Workshop, which not only offers various creative craft and language learning courses, but also focuses on developing emotional management workshops and talks for children and young people, saying that she hopes that life will affect life and do something interesting beyond acting.
She planned a month-long trip to Europe for herself, constantly sharing her experiences on social platforms, and even marveled at the Hong Kong media because of the sexy beauty of her swimsuits.
She also hopes to broaden her film path, learn to write scripts and become an executive producer.
Now Zhang Keyi is 53 years old, but the most concerning thing is still her relationship problems.
Once she talked with her boyfriend Dong Bo for nearly 10 years, but they broke up peacefully with less gathering; The second relationship was a relationship with musician Chen Rongsen, but it was rumored that he was involved in breaking up because of the relationship.
After recovering from illness, when she hosted the financial program "Go to the Next Level", she met Zeng Anbang, a talented son in the financial world, and the two were in love, originally thought that it would blossom and bear fruit, but who knew that it would end in a breakup.
According to rumors, the other party asked her to quit the entertainment industry and concentrate on having children, but how could Zhang Keyi give up the acting career she loved, so she decisively refused.
At that time, Zhang Keyi was 42 years old, and the reporter asked her if she was not worried that she would not be able to marry in the future, and Zhang Keyi replied heartily: "I'm not afraid!" Now that it's all over the world, I'm confident I still have a choice. I want love and career! ”
Once she longed to get married at the age of 25, but now at the age of 53, she is still single and unmarried, "I didn't say I had to marry it, and when I turned 25, I saw through it." ”
Now she can gather with friends at any time, face the sky, peaceful and happy;
Occasionally seeing fans praising her beauty, she shared it like a child;
Pay attention to health, adhere to sports, but also enjoy food;
Perhaps it is precisely because of her relaxation and calmness that she will set off a wave of popularity again in "Infinite Beyond Class" and attract more people who like her to pay attention.
Indeed, not everyone has to go through the process of marriage, and if you do not meet fate, a person's relaxed life is also a success in another life.
Just like the life insights she shared on Weibo:
Sometimes work, sometimes pleasure, peace and health, do not seek great wealth, worry-free, but is not the lucky one in life?
