"It is because of greed and vanity that I entered the entertainment circle." This is what Maggie Cheung once said in a talk show "Tonight No Defenses".
Whether it is a joke or a good heart, it does not affect her 20 years of using strength to obtain her own glory in the entertainment industry. No matter why she entered the entertainment industry in the first place, but without her 17 years, our film circle is inevitably a little bleak internationally.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > debut is the peak</h1>
Born in Hong Kong in 1964, her ancestral home is Shanghai, she moved to the United Kingdom at the age of 8, and in 1983, Miss Hong Kong was selected to win the "Miss Hong Kong Runner-up" and "Most Photogenic Miss Award". The following year, she starred in the film "The Frog Prince" directed by Wang Jing, which became one of the top ten high-grossing Chinese films in 1984, and the box office was very good, and then Maggie Cheung starred in "Fate" with Zhang Guorong and Mui Yanfang, and because of this film, she won the "Most Promising Newcomer Award" at the third Hong Kong Film Awards.
However, she is not from the science class, her acting skills are more or less young and young, although the debut movies have good results, she has also attracted much attention, but the voice of doubt also comes with the praise, and some people mock her: "Beauty is beautiful, soulless, like a vase walking around on the screen." "
Director Kwan Kam Peng also asserted: "Maggie Cheung cannot be a good actor." "
So in the early days, no matter how well she starred in the movie at the box office, she would be more or less questioned, considered a vase, or a flaw in the movie.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > and Wong Kar-wai's mutual achievements</h1>
Many people will say that Wong Kar Wai is Maggie Cheung's Bo Le, as the saying goes, Maxima often has it and Bo Le is not often had, and some people always say that wong Kar Wai has made Maggie Cheung. But I think they're actually accomplishing each other. Wong Kar-wai had not yet become a real big director before Maggie Cheung filmed "Carmen in Mong Kok" for him. When they met, a "Mong Kok Carmen" let the public see a different Maggie Cheung, and also let Wong Kar-wai enter the list of top directors. In the following ten years, they directed one performance after another, from "Ah Fei Zheng Biography" to "Fancy Years".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > four golden horses, five golden statues, cannes Berlin double seal</h1>
If Maggie Cheung is the first person in the Chinese and even Asian film industry, this is not an exaggeration at all, from the number of awards to the weight, probably no one can compare with her. 20 years, a person who is not from a science class, this kind of achievement if she is said to be a god in the Chinese film industry, probably not many people will question it.
Four Taiwan Golden Horse Awards: "The Story of Three Women", "Ruan Lingyu", "Sweet Honey", "Fancy Years".
Five Hong Kong Awards: "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks", "Ruan Lingyu", "Sweet Honey", "Song Dynasty", "Fancy Years".
After the cannes Berlin double seal: After the Berlin seal of Ruan Lingyu, "Cleaning" won Cannes.
Maggie Cheung is probably one of the few actresses who can get a soft hand just by winning the award, and she is also an actress who can write an article just by saying that her work, which is really too many masterpieces.
In addition to these awards, we mainland audiences are very familiar with "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" and "Green Snake". Speaking of "Green Snake", after Maggie Cheung has acted, in the story of the White Snake, the green snake has begun to become important, and even the recent movie "Green Snake Robbery" has begun to have the green snake as the protagonist.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > is very boring without falling in love</h1>
Maggie Cheung once said in an interview: It is very bitter not to fall in love.
In 1987, her relationship with Er Dongsheng surfaced. Once, when missing Hong Kong was selected, Er Dongsheng also voted against Maggie Cheung, saying: Such an ugly girl has no reason to win the award. But later, he fell in love with this "ugly girl".
During their relationship, they worked together on the only movie" "Goodbye Wang Lao wu".
In 1988, Maggie Cheung was accidentally injured while filming "Police Story Sequel", and Er Dongsheng went to the hospital to accompany her almost every day.
In 1990, the three-year relationship between the two came to an end. Maggie Cheung replied to a question with Er Dongsheng later: Me and Er Dongsheng are just a literary and art film.
Maggie Cheung loves France, and when French director Olivier approached Maggie Cheung to star in "The Lost Robbery", she accepted it without much thought, and then the two were in love for a year, and when she was 35 years old, she registered her marriage in Paris. Later, her husband created "Clean" for her, and with this film, she won China's first Cannes film queen trophy.
However, at the time of filming "Cleaning", the two of them signed a divorce agreement on the shooting site, and when Maggie Cheung won the award, they had been divorced for three years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > life is to make yourself happy</h1>
I think Maggie Cheung is a person who makes herself very happy, and when she chose Miss Hong Kong, she said she wanted to sing. In May 2014, Maggie Cheung, who had been away from the film industry for a long time, actually appeared on the scene of the Shanghai Strawberry Music Festival and sang a song "Sweet Honey", and then her singing skills were too poor the next day and she was ridiculed by major media headlines and Weibo hot searches. But two days later, she appeared at the Beijing Strawberry Music Festival.
Such a spontaneous and free Maggie Cheung, she lives happily and freely, although she is said to be smokey, although she is blown up to wear dozens of pieces of clothing, but this kind of life with fireworks, comfortable and comfortable is not worthy of praise.
The 17 years that she disappeared from the film industry is also the 17 years when the Chinese film industry has gone into recession little by little, and I hope that our future film career can once again go to glory.
