There was once a golden period of film and television dramas placed in front of me, I didn't cherish it, until I lost it.
If God can give me another chance, I want to say four words to the Hong Kong entertainment industry: "Return me beautiful!" ”
In the past film and television dramas, there were dusty beauty, domineering beauty, enchanting and charming beauty, hot and sexy beauty, male and female beauty, classical and dignified beauty, and flexible and pure beauty.
Beauty is so rich and diverse. But now there is only one kind of beauty, that is, the beauty of white and thin.
This not only makes the post-90s and post-00s shout unbearable.
It makes those who have witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong in the last century unbearable, and they all want to return to the era of beautiful women with the time machine.
At that time, Hong Kong was rich in beauty, and if it was only beautiful and had no characteristics, it would not even be able to stand out.
After so many years, how many of the beautiful faces in our memories have long left the entertainment industry, and now they are doing well? Is it as good as it was?
01, Zhong Chuhong (63 years old)
In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, even if you don't know the entertainment industry, you have heard a saying, "The most hairy is not Chow Yunfa, and the most red is Zhong Chuhong." ”
I think back then, the glamorous thief in "Across the Seas" didn't know how many people were charmed.
Even in the Hong Kong entertainment industry where beauty gathers, only Chung Chuhong can stand among the two handsome guys Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung without being inferior.
Unlike today's cookie-cutter heroines.
In the beautiful Hong Kong entertainment industry forty or fifty years ago, Zhong Chuhong, who can also be called the Hong Kong version of Marilyn Monroe, naturally has its own uniqueness.
In 1980, 20-year-old Zhong Chuhong debuted, at this time she played a Southeast Asian girl in "The Story of Hu Yue", although she was still a little ignorant and did not know how to act, but still had a pure and natural beauty.
Outer beauty is easy to imitate, inner beauty is unique.
When she was young, Zhong Chuhong had three younger siblings, and four children in the family were waiting to be fed.
But his parents only had a small women's clothing store, seeing his parents' hard work, 11-year-old Zhong Chuhong began to act as a dressing model, but he didn't expect the effect to be very amazing.
Perhaps it was seeing her daughter's advantage in showing her beauty that her mother suggested that the 19-year-old participate in the Miss Hong Kong contest.
Although Zhong Chuhong is amorous when showing himself, the real Zhong Chuhong has a rare directness in the entertainment industry.
There was once a rich businessman who offered millions and just wanted to be a "friend" with Zhong Chuhong, and for such a person, Zhong Chuhong refused very decisively.
She also expressed her attitude to the outside world: "I will not accompany those rich old men because of lack of money, otherwise what else will I work hard for?" ”
In addition to rejecting rich businessmen, Chow Yun-fat, Lin Zixiang, Jackie Chan, and Jacky Cheung all expressed good feelings for Zhong Chuhong, but she refused one by one until her true destiny quietly came.
In 1983, Zhu Jiading found Zhong Chuhong with the advertising slogan "Don't care about the sky for a long time, only care about what you once had".
He is a leading figure in the advertising world, although he is also a wealthy businessman.
But never let Zhong Chuhong do things beyond the scale, the two have not only cooperated many times and become friends, but Zhu Jiading can always rush to Zhong Chuhong to take care of her when she needs it most.
In 1991, 31-year-old Zhong Chuhong agreed to Zhu Jiading's marriage proposal, and began to gradually withdraw from the film and television industry to enjoy the world of the two.
The double harvest of career love may be that the heavens are jealous of Zhu Jiading's happiness.
So he took back Zhu Jiading's life 16 years later.
When Zhu Jiading died of colon cancer in 2007, Zhong Chuhong was heartbroken, but after the grief, she chose to devote herself to public welfare undertakings and give back to the society in another way.
Hong Kong media once said: "There are thousands of styles in the world, and the most beautiful is Zhong Chuhong." ”
Zhong Chuhong, who used to overwhelm the crowd with her beauty, now the years have added new makeup to her, and time has not allowed her beauty to end, but let Zhong Chuhong's beauty remain in the world.
02. Lizhi (62 years old)
In 1986, Ni Kuang, one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, couldn't help but say wildly after seeing a beauty: "Li Zhi is a rare beauty in 50 years, if she is not a champion, I will burn the TV station." ”
That year, Lizhi was 25 years old, but in front of more than 2,000 girls under the age of 20.
But it was she who won the title of Miss Asia and debuted as the Asian sister who combines angel looks and devil bodies in "Original Zhenxia and Wesley".
Although beauty and figure coexist, Lizhi's road to the entertainment industry is very bumpy.
As a foreigner, he is often teased for his Cantonese accent, and because of his beauty, he always plays the role of a brainless vase, and even there are always male actors who take advantage of acting, and Li Zhi can only hold back tears.
Just like the pure lust style that is popular now, Lizhi was sexy in his innocence, and his eyes were seductive and as clear as a deer.
It not only fascinated people in the circle, but also attracted the prying eyes of Stanley Ho, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman at that time.
On the one hand, there is the exclusion of the entertainment industry, and on the other hand, the sweet offensive of rich bigwigs.
Such a double heaven of ice and fire soon made Li Zhi fall in love, but not two loves in the world can have a happy ending, and Stanley Ho already has four wives in the family, and Li Zhi, who is sober after indulging, finally chooses to quit.
Later, Li Zhi also met his real partner Jet Li, and the two who first met were just crew colleagues, until Li Zhi still did not give up in the midst of tribulation, which really knocked on the door of her heart.
At that time, Lizhi, who continued to suffer setbacks in the entertainment industry, took out part of the money to participate in the investment, but he did not expect that not only did he not return the huge debt.
In order to help his sweetheart pay off his debts, Jet Li signed a three-year contract for six dramas and advanced a salary of 72 million.
Although money may not necessarily represent the heart of a lover, if you are not even willing to spend money, it must mean that you are not intentional at all, and Lizhi also knows this.
After the shadow, Li Zhi concentrated on his husband and son at home.
Today, she and Jet Li are over 60 years old, and there are two young daughters, although Li Zhi cannot be said to be still beautiful, but also the charm remains, which shows that the beauty is still a beauty.
03. Kwan Zhilin (61 years old)
Speaking of Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen, you will definitely think of Guan Zhilin.
But not many people know that Guan Zhilin faced the camera without makeup when the film was filmed, and she herself proposed to put on makeup, but she did not expect that the director directly asked Guan Zhilin to appear without makeup, which was enough to see her appearance.
It turns out that Guan Zhilin did not live up to the director's expectations.
She and the thirteenth aunt in the "Huang Feihong" series of movies have achieved each other, leaving an eternal classic, and those who have seen Huang Feihong's movies so far can remember the shocking thirteenth aunt back then.
Unlike many other Hong Kong actresses, Kwan was born into a family of actors in Hong Kong.
His father Guan Shan was not only the first international actor in Hong Kong, but also a director, but later chose to abandon acting and go into business, and his mother Zhang Bingqian was also a famous beautiful actress.
Although her parents' high appearance has given Guan Zhilin a very high starting point in the entertainment industry, she was even called "enamel doll" by many uncles and aunts when she was young.
But her father is a merry man who does not care about his family, which also affects Guan Zhilin's view of love and family.
In the love field, Kwan Zhilin can be described as "beautiful and murderous", and with a height of one meter and seven meters, she was known as the woman that Hong Kong men most wanted to marry at that time.
However, Guan Zhilin has her own unique opinion: "I have also tried my boyfriend with an object, I can do it if I want, I didn't think about it so much, but if the other party's wife cares, I will consider the feelings of the other party's wife." ”
When it comes to the most special person in Guan Zhilin's love life, it must be Wang Guojing, who even held a wedding with Guan Zhilin.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, not long after marriage, the husband began to mess with flowers, and after Guan Zhilin warned several times, Wang Guojing directly said "if you want to leave, you will leave."
Guan Zhilin could not bear this grievance, so this marriage was broken up.
After the divorce, Guan Zhilin had more than ten boyfriends in succession, and male stars and wealthy businessmen everywhere all fell under her pomegranate skirt, but unfortunately the separation and union did not last long.
In 2010, Guan Zhilin chose to leave her acting career and enter the business world to develop and become a strong business woman.
When she was young, Guan Zhilin was gentle and gentle in classical elegance.
Now Guan Zhilin, elegant and confident temperament remains, but after all, she is 60 years old, and her body also shows old age.
People can't help but sigh, the years are a pig-killing knife, and one knife after another urges people to get old.
04. Lin Qingxia (59 years old)
Even now, Qiong Yao's film and television dramas are still loved by people.
And the actors who can play the heroine of Qiong Yao are all great beauties, and in 1973, Lin Qingxia became popular for playing Jiang Yanrong in Qiong Yao's drama "Outside the Window".
How many years have passed, there are still people who remember Lin Qingxia's pure and flexible big eyes and innocent eyes like small animals when she debuted.
At the age of twenty, she is beautiful and lovely, at the age of thirty, she is sexy, and at the age of forty, she is free and charming.
Along the way, Lin Qingxia has constantly expanded new possibilities in the field of beauty, and reached new heights in each possibility.
Wearing women's clothing, Lin Qingxia is the most beautiful woman.
Dressed as a man, Lin Qingxia is also a cool and handsome man.
Even Yishu, a writer who has always been poisonous and tricky, commented: "There is such a beautiful person in the world who does not know it, I would like to call him the first beauty in Southeast Asia." ”
On the movie screen, she is the weak and amorous heroine of Qiong Yao, and also a tough and domineering warlord of the Republic of China, who picks up a sword to be dashing and self-contained, and drinks wine and makes people can't help but make friends with her, creating countless classic characters.
As a friend, Lin Qingxia's popularity has always been good, but her love road has been bumpy.
In the early years, when she was still in Taiwan, she was entangled with Qin Han and Qin Xianglin, but neither of them was a person who could be trusted for life, and the bitter fruit of love could only turn and leave.
Until she was in her 30s, Xing Liyuan appeared, he gave Lin Qingxia unprecedented safety and warmth, even in film and television works, how strong Lin Qingxia in life, also wants to have a shoulder to rely on, 40-year-old Lin Qingxia chose to marry and rest the shadow.
After marriage, Lin Qingxia got her long-awaited family life, had two daughters with her husband, and embarked on the road of literature and published several books.
Even if she changes paths, she is still talented, and the wrinkles on her face cannot hide her inner happiness.
05. Maggie Cheung (59 years old)
In the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 80s and 90s of the last century, if you mention the coexistence of talent and beauty, when it comes to what actresses act like, you must think of Maggie Cheung.
She is the enchanting and naïve snake demon Xiaoqing, the spicy and charming Dragon Gate Inn hostess, a shrewd and kind sojourn youth, and an eccentric punk lover.
Maggie Cheung used her bright eyes and teeth to interpret a life with a thousand faces.
Maggie Cheung, who is in her early 20s, also fell into a trough, with the title of a vase and difficult to improve her acting skills, she even felt inferior and thought that she was not suitable to be an actress.
Director Wong Kar-wai woke her up with a word, "If this happens to you, what is your reaction, how you act." ”
Maggie Cheung then woke up, it turned out that the most suitable thing for her was to bring into the life of the play.
Since then, vividness has replaced rigidity, rich banishes monotony, and she uses her performance to give emotions and life to the characters, achieving classic images on the screen.
Twists and turns of emotions are often the fate of women in film and television dramas, and Maggie Cheung's love life also has countless ups and downs.
Either they fell in love for several years but did not bear fruit, or they were betrayed without knowing anyone, and it was not until the age of 33 that she secretly married a French director, but ended in divorce three years later, and subsequent relationships always came to no avail.
The most regrettable thing is the relationship between Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung.
She was only 20 years old when she first cooperated, when Tony Leung was in love with Zeng Huaqian, and when she was 35 years old, the two worked together again, and Tony Leung had already held hands with Carina Lau. Although the two admired each other's talents and had an enviable tacit understanding, they did not meet at the best time, leaving only a sigh.
Maggie Cheung has acted in countless films, but she can play a different version of herself in each film.
At the age of 40, she sensed the passing of her youth, so she chose to keep her best self on the screen, quit the show business, and start her own fashion rock road.
At that time, Maggie Cheung once said that when you are tired of acting, you should rest, be yourself freely, and don't care about the eyes of others.
Maggie Cheung did it after the shadow, and even the recent photos of aging were just a mischievous smile. The wrinkles brought by the years cannot be dispelled, but the inner peace can be preserved for a long time, just as Maggie Cheung is still a beautiful heart.
06. Wang Zuxian (56 years old)
She is the eternal Nie Xiaoqian in people's hearts, and she is also the unpleasant Bai Suzhen.
When it comes to demons and ghosts, the most beautiful impression is her, perhaps because of this, so Wang Zuxian will be as beautiful as a dream, so people can't forget it at a glance.
Look closely at Wang Zuxian's face, in fact, it is not a standard beauty's three courts and five eyes, slightly stiff and square, but the beauty is not in the bone, Wang Zuxian is a beautiful person to the bone.
In his early years of school, the tall Wang Zuxian joined the basketball team because he was bored with his homework.
But instead of making a splash in basketball, she entered the attention of Hong Kong directors at the age of fifteen because she took on commercials.
At the age of 17, Wang Zuxian starred in a movie for the first time, it was a female ghost, maybe even she could not have imagined, a few years later, she had long existed in the minds of the world with the image of another female ghost.
Many actors, even if they have a prosperous beauty, are trapped by the positioning of vases and small fresh meat, and Wang Zuxian, who is a beauty, naturally has similar troubles, but what troubles her the most is the relationship with Qi Qin, which spans 15 years.
When he was 19 years old, Wang Zuxian went to Taiwan to shoot "Yerba Ba Liantian", and Qi Qin, who played the male number one, went to the airport to pick her up.
In the process of crew cooperation, Wang Zuxian was gradually attracted by Qi Qin's musical talent, so the two soon fell in love.
There are countless young men and women in this world who fall in love only to encounter practical setbacks.
In the end, there were many misunderstandings, resulting in the breakdown of the relationship between the two, and finally they could only break up and forget each other, Wang Zuxian and Qi Qin are such lovers.
A long and abrasive relationship, giving herself hope several times but finally ushering in a desperate relationship, made Wang Zuxian gradually disappointed in love, at the age of 37 she left the entertainment industry to live in seclusion in Canada, and did not return to Hong Kong until 2013 and returned to people's eyes.
Today's Wang Zuxian, although his skin has loosened, his former beauty has not left far.
As the saying goes, the years never defeat beauty.
07. Qiu Shuzhen (55 years old)
"Beautiful dealer, deal cards online."
Although this is a sentence in the Internet era, it actually speaks of a sexy beauty who appeared at the gambling table in the last century - Qiu Shuzhen.
It was the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, and even beauty had to have its own characteristics.
And Qiu Shuzhen appeared on the big screen as a sweet, tricky and sexy beauty, becoming the gorgeous and not vulgar dream lover of men in that era.
Qiu Shuzhen's beauty is indeed outstanding, so as soon as she debuted, she was called "Wireless Nine Dragon Women" with eight other beauties, all of which are beautiful women, and Qiu Shuzhen ranked last, but there was no way to come out, and director Wang Jing helped a lot at this time.
With the help of Bole Wang Jing, Qiu Shuzhen is Qu Doudou in "The Best Loss Friend", Princess Jianning in "Luding Ji", the killer kitten in "Naked Lamb", and the maid Xiao Zhao in "The Demon Sect Leader of the Sky and Dragon Slayer", the liar Red Bean in "The Five Ancestors of New Shaolin", and Luo Xueer in "Immoral Gift".
With a series of role shaping, Qiu Shuzhen gradually gained a foothold in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Although it is not popular, she has also become a well-known actress, and Wang Jing, as a bole, also occupies an extremely important position in Qiu Shuzhen's heart.
Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days.
Hong Kong film industry beauty like clouds, Qiu Shuzhen is just one of them, in 1997 Wang Jing asked Qiu Shuzhen to play a supporting role for Shu Qi, this move made Qiu Shuzhen wake up, he is not irreplaceable, since this is the case, anyway, the money has been earned enough, it is better to choose Xiying.
After quitting show business, Yau soon fell in love with a Hong Kong president, Shen Jiawei.
Followed by marriage and childbirth, raised three daughters and one son, husband Gu family, wife Wangfu, children intimate, family life is unexpectedly happy.
Under the nourishment of happiness, the current Qiu Shuzhen is still beautiful, although 4 births have made her figure unavoidably blessed, but it is still enviable.
08. Li Jiaxin (53 years old)
Whether in the past or now, the Miss Hong Kong champion has entered the entertainment industry and developed a lot.
But most of them are like shooting stars in the blink of an eye, only Li Jiaxin has received the praise of "the most beautiful but Li Jiaxin", thanks to his sultry demeanor and smart eyes.
Li Jiaxin, as the dream goddess of a generation, in addition to the ultimate beauty and figure, is naturally indispensable to the eye-catching roles in film and television works, and the beautiful model Huang Juan in "Original Zhenxia" is one of them.
Beauty is always said to be a vase character, especially a Chinese-Portuguese mixed-race like Li Jiaxin.
Unfortunately, other actresses in the same period seem to have gradually broken free from the title of "vase", but Li Jiaxin has been unable to find a way out.
From Yue Lingshan in "The East is Undefeated" to Tingting, the daughter of Thunder Tiger in "Fang Shiyu", several movies have failed to get Li Jiaxin off the label of a vase.
Li Jiaxin's beauty is not questioned, but her acting skills do not seem to be affirmed.
The only slight difference is that Li Jiaxin's appearance in "Sea Flower" is the dusty woman Huang Cuifeng, who is empty and beautiful but is in the dark, in addition to her external beauty, there is also a trace of inner struggle, which may also be related to Li Jiaxin's emotions in reality.
At the age of 18, Li Jiaxin was with his first love, Ni Zhen.
But not long after Li Jiaxin became famous and debuted, her boyfriend broke up with Li Jiaxin on the thought that his popular girlfriend would make him stressed.
Later, Li Jiaxin successively dated wealthy businessman Liu Luanxiong and male model Chen Pingzhi, who was five years younger than her, but the two relationships did not last long.
Perhaps it is a good thing to grind, Li Jiaxin finally met a reliable boyfriend at the age of 36, and after two years of love, she held a wedding with her boyfriend Xu Jinheng, and gave birth to their sons at the age of 41, after which she left the entertainment industry to return to the family.
Throughout Li Jiaxin's several works, she always appears in front of people as a beauty, no wonder she is named the head of the jade woman.
Today, from the photos of Li Jiaxin and her husband, you can see that Li Jiaxin, who is over 50 years old, is as beautiful as ever, and there is not much difference from when she was young.
09. Lizi (52 years old)
Every woman dreams of being a golden branch and a jade leaf and living a pearlescent life every day.
Not only is talent and intelligence but also unique grace, but these are difficult to achieve, but as an actor can experience a variety of life, Li Zi, known as the goddess of Hong Kong films, is like this.
In "Golden Bough Desire", she is Yuying with two faces, in "Pearl Glory" she is the love supreme Kang Yapu, in "The Legend of Relying on the Sky and Slaying the Dragon" she is the delicate and intelligent Zhao Min and the love-hate Zhou Zhiruo.
Although the roles are different, Lizi, just like the characters she plays, are working hard for her destiny.
To act to the extreme, in order to play the two-faced Yuying little master, she not only has to integrate the innocence, cunning, liveliness, depression, affection, and viciousness in the character's personality, but also hides in the room every day to maintain the skin to ensure that it meets the character setting.
If you want to appear in martial arts movies and shoot the action scenes beautifully, Lizi not only has to grit her teeth and repeat each action thousands of times, but also endure the discomfort of Weiya's body.
At that time, there was not as much use of stand-ins as it is now, and everything had to be done by the actors themselves, and this was only part of Lizi's efforts.
We are not afraid that others are talented, but we are afraid that talented people will work harder than us.
It is with such efforts that Lizi not only became an actor and singer, but even though she has a peerless appearance from head to toe, she never succumbs to capital in order to become popular.
After several years of art, Lizi finally reversed the title of her vase, leaving a sassy and beautiful screen image in the hearts of fans, changing from an idol school to an acting school, but she did not expect that bad luck was coming.
In 2007, her brother was seriously injured in a car accident, Lizi knew her brother's dream, immediately asked the crew for leave, took over her brother's career, and then she took care of her brother's company while filming.
Soon her brother was diagnosed with paralysis, and after thinking, Lizi decided to take care of the family.
Soon after the film, while continuing her brother's career, Lizi also agreed to her boyfriend Ma Tingqiang's marriage proposal.
So far, Lizi has been in the shadow for 15 years, not only helping her brother realize his dream, but also raising three daughters with her husband, realizing her goal of withdrawing from the circle that year.
Write at the end
Whether it is a Hong Kong film and television drama full of beautiful women more than 30 years ago, or a majestic mainland film and television drama more than 10 years ago.
Now it is indeed a serious aesthetic degradation, not only beautiful men and women are becoming more and more single, but also more and more unbearable appearance, and they can't even have a larger expression.
The face is white like a piece of paper, the legs are thin like a stick, not only is there no fat on the body, not even a trace of muscle, the description is so weird, but this is most of the traffic stars in today's entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, everything is easy to learn badly, and it is difficult to learn well.
Today, the assembly line stars who are accustomed to not honing their acting skills and not exercising their manners, how can they regain the past prosperous era of the film industry where flowers compete for beauty and clouds of beauty?
