In 1981, 16-year-old Wu Junru graduated from girls' school, and her father, who had always said that she was ugly, actually proposed that she go to "choose a Hong Kong sister". She thought her father was being funny, and as soon as she turned around, she went to the TVB artist training class. Unexpectedly, on the first day of school, Wu Junru felt very bad.
Only to see the classroom full of spring colors, Yuan Yuan Tingting, looking around is all the big beauty, Zeng Huaqian, Lan Jieying and other Hong Kong beauties needless to say, and even Suzhou beauty Liu Jialing, who has just arrived in Hong Kong...
Wu Junru's appearance conditions are actually not bad, but unfortunately plunged into the first-class beauty bush, which is a bit dwarfed. She looked at it, but she could also see it, anyway, she had not solved the problem by relying on her appearance since she was a child.
So the question is: how can you make a name for yourself in the beauty pile? At critical times, we have to rely on "routines".
At that time, Hong Kong film and television dramas were popular "Jade Girl", the audience was very good at this mouth, Wu Junru also wanted to be the heroine, so she "pretended" to be a "gentle jade girl", and "well-behaved" in various film and television dramas. Gradually, everyone believed.
Such Wu Junru left a deep impression on a producer.
In 1984, 19-year-old Wu Junru had a relationship with a member of the opposite sex for the first time, and hormones exploded and became uncontrollable. When the passion burns, nature is released, and the matter of "pretending to be a jade girl" is left behind.
She has a cheerful personality and can make jokes, and teachers and students like this Wu Junru. TVB also looks up to her and thinks she has acting talent and can switch between multiple roles freely.
Wu Junru, along with Zeng Huaqian, Lan Jieying, Liu Jialing and Deng Cuiwen, is regarded by TVB as a new generation of Hua Dan.
Soon, she was selected to star in "Deer DingJi" starring Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau. Wu Junru looked at it as a big production, and also heard that he was one of the heroines, the role was good, he was very happy, and he deliberately packed up the original novel and moved it home to study hard.
The relationship between men and women in the story is intricate, and the affair of "Wei Xiaobao" cannot fit in several sacks... Wu Junru snapped his fingers and counted, how could he not calculate, such a thing would fall on his head.

The producer who was deeply impressed with Wu Junru at the beginning, named Li Tiansheng, was a veteran figure of TVB, and it was the supervising producer of this "Deer Ding". So when it came time to select actors, Wu Junru was included.
Li Tiansheng remembered this girl, very gentle look, so he said nine words and arranged for her to play the role of "Fang Rou" in the play.
"Fang Rou" is known as "Wei Xiaobao's most gentle wife", walking and talking delicately, which can be called "the fighter among jade girls", and many men regard her as "the lover of eternal dreams".
When Wu Junru received the role, his heart trembled, but he did not dare to say, nor did he dare to ask, let alone raise his hand to give advice. When she got home, she closed the door, her heart crossed, and she competed with herself.
She squeezed her throat to speak, deliberately turning the low voice line into a very gentle, a "small treasure", so that Liang Chaowei, who knew her bottom, could hear the scalp tingle.
At that time, Liang Chaowei, who played "Wei Xiaobao", was taking a picture with Zeng Huaqian, and Wu Junru had a good relationship with Zeng Huaqian, providing a lot of convenience for the little couple.
However, this pair of golden boys and jade girls, back and forth, divided and combined several times, finally ended up in the end of the song and people scattered.
Wu Junru's first love soon ended without a problem, and none of the roles assigned to her by the company liked. She felt very annoyed, and she got closer and closer to Tang Zhenye, who was very hot at the time.
Unexpectedly, if you don't pay attention, you will get into big trouble.

At that time, Tang Zhenye relied on the role of "Duan Yu" in the 82nd edition of "Tianlong Eight Parts" to spread all over the Xiangjiang River, known as the first of the "TVB Five Tiger Generals", which was very popular with girls.
Later, he and the red flower Dan Weng Meiling, formally established a love relationship, the two are sweet and greasy, highly boiling, but over time, the water becomes cooler, the rift gradually arises, and the two often quarrel, making Tang Zhenye very annoying.
Tang Zhenye was annoyed, and he loved to ask people to watch movies. It just so happened that Wu Junru was also very annoyed, and the two often watched the movie and went to dinner again... Then, when photographed by reporters, the scandal was overwhelming.
Weng Meiling was angry, and the rich businessman Zou Shilong also spread a scandal, the two met in the nightclub all night carnival, do not know what they did, anyway, Tang Zhenye waited at home for a night, the shadow was not seen, so tossing and turning, all kinds of brain supplements...
Tang Zhenye was full of anger, quickly moved away from the love nest with Weng Meiling, and did not know whether he was stimulated, and then called Wu Junru, Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen, and went out in pairs.
The next day, a tabloid reporter took a photo of Tang Zhenye and Wu Junru and asked Weng Meiling what she thought.
Weng Meiling said on the surface that it was nothing, everyone was good friends, and she and Tang Zhenye had a stable relationship. But two days later, a major event occurred that shook the Xiangjiang River, which made everyone stunned.
Two days later, 26-year-old Weng Meiling, wearing pink pajamas, ended her life in an extreme way (for details, see Wan Xiaodao's past selection of "Weng Meiling's "Fame History" and "The Mystery of Suicide").
When she left, she also dragged Tang Zhenye and Wu Junru down the muddy water, and how to wash it could not be washed clean. Many fans shouted "kill Tang Zhenye", and even regarded Wu Junru as a "fox spirit".
Under the storm of public opinion, TVB was forced by pressure to reduce Wu Junru's workload and "snow hidden" her in disguise.
How did this come about. Wu Junru was very anxious, but she couldn't think of a good way, so she ran to the temple to find the "Transfer Dafa", and really let her ask for a "secret recipe".

A mysterious xiangshi quietly told Wu Junru that if he wanted to be red, his face would be round, and "the bigger and more round, the more red", not only people are red, peach blossoms are also red.
So some time later, a plump and rounded Wu Junru came out and appeared. At this time, weng Meiling's incident storm was also slowly fading, and Wu Junru slowly had a notice.
With the soaring weight, Wu Junru's personality also began to fly, and in a certain variety show, he showed his funny skills. The audience was laughed out loud, and the on-site program producer also came to the spirit.
The producer found that she was a "talent", had a background in acting, and spoke amazingly funny, so he did not say a word, and handed an application to the company.
Wu Junru learned that he would be transferred to host a variety show, and he would often play an "ugly girl", feeling like a gray sparrow, unable to play the heroine in this life, and crying all day.
However, the sparrow can also fly up the branches and become a phoenix, but the sparrow does not believe in itself.
By 1988, several new generations of Hua Dan in the same period picked the beams in the film and television drama and played the heroine. Wu Junru, 23, has also gradually surfaced.
The funny style she showed in the variety show was photographed by the director of the humorous comedy "Fighting Spirit Family" and became the heroine. Wu Junru liked the script very much and deliberately lost weight.
She and the male protagonist of the play, Zhou Xingchi, cooperate tacitly, which is quite brilliant. Jackie Chan, who was extremely powerful in the Harbor circle at that time, took a look at it and counted his heart.

The Hong Kong action films of the 80s were dominated by men. When Wang Jing filmed "Fuxing Gaozhao", she joined the female police role "Overlord Flower", and the market response was still good, so that Jackie Chan, who cameo in this film, got inspiration.
In 1988, the film "Overlord Flower", which tells the story of female SPECIAL police officers, was put on the big screen, and the martial arts drama was played by Hu Huizhong, Hui Yinghong and others, and the funny person was Wu Junru.
Her character is silly, stupid and ugly, often suffers losses, and is laborious and unflattering, but the effect is very humorous and pleasing, making the audience laugh and leaving a deep impression on everyone. It also left a deep impression on Du Dewei, who cooperated together.
Du Dewei is 3 years older than Wu Junru, debuted as a singer, is also a newcomer, has three kingdoms blood, looks handsome, sings well, speaks well, a sweet talk, and Wu Junru established a romantic relationship.
Held in the palm of his hand by the big handsome man, Wu Junru was a little confused, and began to suffer from gains and losses, feeling that he was not beautiful enough, not slim enough, and he wanted to lose weight and become beautiful to be worthy of each other.
Who knew that the other party was lying on the bed, taking the initiative to put his ear to her fat belly and saying, "If my girlfriend is so thin that sheds only a skeleton, how can I find such a comfortable belly to lie down?" ”
Wu Junru was amused and excited, and regarded Du Dewei as the love of his life, love was turbulent, tight and silky, like a volcano erupting, there was no time to think carefully: how can you believe what you say on the bed?
Still a little tender.

Because of the success of "Overlord Flower", 23-year-old Wu Junru was nominated for the "Best New Actor of the Hong Kong Film Awards", and naturally embarked on the road of comedy films, and was excavated by Wang Jing and starred in the comedy film "Best Lost Friend".
She played a director who loves to play small reports in the film, Wang Jing's funny methods are very strange, during filming, he said to Wu Junru: "It is better that you imagine yourself to be really annoying, try to play and dig your nostrils..."
Wu Junru felt that it was too much, but he did it anyway.
When the film was released, Wu Junru's parents joyfully went to see the premiere, only to see their daughter on the screen digging their noses, extremely indecent, and suddenly felt that their faces were dull: How can this mean to call relatives and friends to come to the scene?
Wu Junru was embarrassed and helpless. At this time, Zhou Xingchi came to the door.
In 1990, Stephen Chow's nonsense performance style was sought after. He found Wu Junru, who had a pleasant cooperation, and collaborated on the comedy film "Wangfu Jackie Chan".
The two play husband and wife, there are many intimate scenes, and when they are filming, they accidentally enter the scene, and the relationship becomes delicate. The two looked at each other wrongly, closed the work and quickly went out of the drama, and went back to their respective homes.
Regarding this delicate relationship, Wu Junru once confessed in the show: "There is that feeling..."
In the same year, the two continued to play lovers in "Invincible Lucky Star", and with more and more cooperation opportunities, Wu Junru gradually became the iconic face in Stephen Chow's movies, and some people called her "female version of Stephen Chow" and "Queen of Comedy".
In 1992, Wu Junru and Zhou Xingchi collaborated on the classic comedy "Family Has a Happy Affair", but one played the "big sister-in-law" and the other played the "little brother".
Some viewers interpreted the role changes of the two in this way: the old and ugly yellow-faced woman is no longer worthy of the funny little star.
It's already annoying, but there's something even more annoying.
Seven
In 1992, in the eyes of others, Wu Junru, who was becoming more and more "ugly", was no longer worthy of the popular idol Du Dewei. Coincidentally, the parties felt the same way. So, 30-year-old Du Dewei proposed to 27-year-old Wu Junru to break up.
Four years of feelings, once the dynasty ended, Du Dewei left for Macau freely, but Wu Junru could not come out.
Wu Junru tried to save his feelings, quietly came to Macau, came to the hotel where Du Dewei was staying, and rang the doorbell. After a while, Du Dewei came out in his pajamas and opened the door.
He was very touched and then rejected her.
Through the crack in the door, Wu Jun saw a graceful figure like a shadow, very charming, very eye-catching, definitely not comparable to her. So she understood that there was a reason for the breakup.
Lose your feelings, don't lose your dignity.
Wu Junru did not dwell on it anymore, and after returning to Hong Kong, he was determined to lose weight, losing 40 pounds in 3 months and successfully slimming down. At the same time, she also had a bold idea: to change her own play path and develop more perched.
But no one was optimistic about her at the time.
In 1996, 31-year-old Wu Junru did not want to wait any longer, and raised funds to shoot the film "Four Faces of Eve", which reflected hong Kong human nature, she played four roles alone, and her superb acting skills made her nominated for the "Queen of the Academy Awards" in one fell swoop.
Freed from the shackles of comedy films, Wu Junru's magnetic field is fully open, not only attracting the audience on the screen, but also attracting the director Chen Kexin, who is 3 years older than her in reality.
This year, the 34-year-old Chen Kexin won the "Academy Award for Best Director" for the movie "Sweet Honey". After he and Wu Junru met at the film festival, they quickly began to fall.
In fact, the two had already met at the dinner party of Zeng Zhiwei's group, but the time was not right at that time, there was no further development, and this meeting was considered to be a continuation of the frontier.
With more and more in-depth communication with Chen Kexin, Wu Junru's acting skills have risen steadily.
In 1998, the 33-year-old Wu Junru successfully performed the growth history of a female gangster in the film "HongXing Thirteen Sisters", winning the Academy Award, the Golden Bauhinia Award and the "Three Materials Queen" of the Hong Kong Film Critics Association.
Wu Junru won the respect, and awards and film awards poured in.
In 2001, 36-year-old Wu Junru and 40-year-old Andy Lau played lovers in "Love Jun Like a Dream", filming close to the perfect male god again, and Wu Junru had a feeling of blushing heartbeat.
At that time, Chen Kexin was developing in Hollywood, and the phone call was very frequent.
Unfortunately, Chen Kexin's "Love Letter" made in Hollywood hit the street at the box office. Later, Chen Kexin returned to Hong Kong, and with the encouragement of Wu Junru, he set up his own film company, made many award-winning works, and gradually became one of the "top directors in Asia".
Together, the two concocted the "Golden Rooster" series of films, Wu Junru played a Hong Kong "prostitute", thirty years of life changes, there are laughs and tears and inspiration, so she also successfully pocketed the "Golden Horse Film Queen".
In 2004, Du Dewei gradually faded out of the music scene, and it was Chen Kexin and Wu Junru who lived a somewhat alternative happy cohabitation life when the spring breeze was triumphant.

Under the same eaves, Wu Junru and Chen Kexin divided the 80-square-meter bedroom into two rooms, each equipped with a door and a lock each. When the mood is good, we share the same bed, and on weekdays, everyone goes back to each room and is safe.
In 2005, 40-year-old Wu Junru won the highest-grossing actress in the "Highest Grossing Film Awards Ceremony in Hong Kong 1985-2005", and in the same year, she successfully became pregnant.
When the news came out, Chen Kexin was promoting the new film "If Love" in the mainland, and even said that he did not know that he had become a father, and said that even if Wu Junru was pregnant, the child was not necessarily his own...
But Wu Junru had his own set of "Imperial Husband Techniques", and soon, the two made a public appearance, and everything was dark and bright. But even if a daughter is born, Wu Junru and Chen Kexin are still not legally husband and wife.
The world is full of changes, cold and warm self-knowledge. Some people say it's because there's not enough love, there's no trust. Others say that it is because of love that they trust each other...
In order to spend more time with his daughter, and because he often caused trouble because of his unabashed mouth, Wu Junru quit his radio job and only made some suitable scripts, especially those cooperated with Gu Tianle.
The two collaborated in one go on "Big Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog", "Family Has a Happy Affair", "Wonder Man"... Inside and outside the play, it is all true feelings.
But Chen Kexin said that he was not jealous, and also took the initiative to design a intimate scene between the two, which made Gu Tianle accidentally have a physiological reaction...
When her daughter gradually grew up, Wu Junru's tiger in her heart came out of the mountain again, became a director, and filmed "Demon Bell" and "Mother's Magic Boy", the latter of which is still cooperating with Gu Tianle.
To ask what is going on in the relationship between the two, maybe it is like Miss Tian, the "woman of the king", calling Chen Kexin a "girlfriend".
Chen Kexingui is a phenomenon-level director in the Chinese film industry, and the beautiful women around him have gone forward and followed, only one Wu Junru broke through. In Hong Kong's film and television circle, jade women want to run rampant, and only one Wu Junru is a faction of its own.
There are talented people in the Jiangshan generation, but a thousand "Dan" is easy to get, and an "ugly" is difficult to find. On the screen, Wu Junru has no taboos about the role, whether it is a person or a ghost, no matter how ugly and stupid, she has the courage to try and complete it well.
Debut for many years, fame and fortune, Wu Junru said that he "has suffered too many blows", fortunately there is a belief that has been supporting her: in the face of adversity, always firmly believe, "hard work, must get food." ”
