The 1980s were the heyday of Hong Kong martial arts films. As a genre film that helps producers make a lot of money, it has also won many martial arts stars.
Among them, there are many female stares with bright eyebrows and clever skills, Li Saifeng, who is one of the best.
Her childhood experience is very similar to that of the actress Hui Yinghong in the same period, both of whom came from a poor family and had to help the family from an early age, often getting up at four or five o'clock in the morning to help her father fry fritters to sell.
Other people's childhood memories are full of carousels and cakes and chocolates, but in Li Saifeng's smoke-like past, the deepest impression is that he dozed off when frying fritters, and his fingers inadvertently touched the oil, and people were suddenly burned.
Her fingers were burned red and burning, and it seemed to be a common thing she had grown up with.
This situation finally changed when she was 15 years old.
That year, Li Saifeng, who was in middle school, took the stage to perform dance at the school's celebrations. Unexpectedly, her dancing with affection this time was actually blue eyed by ATV director Xiao Xianhui.
Director Xiao called Li Saifeng to the stage and asked her if she would like to act in a TV series. The young and ignorant little girl, yearning for the incomparably mysterious and bright screen world for her, immediately nodded her head in agreement.
In this way, On the basis of no experience, Li Saifeng was sent by Bole Xiao Xianhui to the crew of "The Land Grace Home in the Pearl River", thus starting her life of light and shadow like the autumn moon.
After the TV series was broadcast, the response was unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and Yang Yaman, played by Li Saifeng, who had a clear love and hate, also got the love and recognition of the audience.
Li Saifeng, whose popularity soared, took advantage of this east wind to star in "Drunken Boxer King No Taboo" and "Drunken Boxing King No Taboo Sequel" again. Since then, she has become a household name in Hong Kong and gained a place on TVB.
Li Saifeng's Jin Yong martial arts drama "Yue Nu Sword" that Li Saifeng participated in filming should be regarded as her milestone work, after this drama, she terminated her contract with ATV and began to officially go to the big screen from the small screen.
In order to be able to perform more professional and standardized Chinese fists and feet during the filming process of the film, Li Saifeng specially studied Northern School Kung Fu with Xu Xiaoming as a teacher.
Just as the so-called Heavenly Dao rewards diligence, Li Saifeng has contributed an irreproducible self to Hong Kong's martial arts films with his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts.
And her films are by no means only to provide the audience with wonderful visual effects, but also worth your slow touch and careful tasting, so that you can feel the unique performance charm that belongs to her.
The most beautiful smile will always bloom behind the indispensable pain. Through her efforts, she gained more and more resources and created more and more surprises. Because she has taken over a lot of female police roles, she has even been called "the most beautiful police flower" by the media.
She was like a phoenix nirvana, flying little by little to her ultimate glory.
Her English name Moon Lee is printed on the first page of almost all the posters she starred in, because she is the guarantee of the film's blockbuster, as close as Hong Kong and as far as Southeast Asia, Li Saifeng's three words equal "quality" and equal "ticket prices far exceed the value".
She is considered to be the most desperate female star, Yang Ziqiong's successor, even the male star does not dare to make a move, she also has to be bold to try. Therefore, her body is often scarred.
During the filming of "Demon Hunting Heroes", there was a scene that needed to detonate the room after the male protagonist Lu Liangwei, the female protagonist Li Saifeng and Hu Huizhong jumped out of the window. However, when the filming officially began, the demolition division was derelict in his duties and pressed the blast button in advance.
Lu Liangwei was lucky, because if he jumped a second late, he would be attacked by the fire along with Li Saifeng and Hu Huizhong.
The two actresses suffered severe burns, but fortunately did not hurt the dermis layer or leave clear scars.
However, this incident has become a watershed in Li Saifeng's career, and there are suddenly fewer films looking for her.
At the same time, Hong Kong action movies also seem to have fallen into a slump overnight, and the overall decline has begun to move faster and faster.
And Yang Ziqiong and Hu Huizhong also chose to marry as a woman, and gradually faded out, and Li Saifeng, who was standing at an early age, saw it in his eyes, and a sense of urgency suddenly emerged.
Previously, Li Saifeng had fallen in love with Liu Guanwei, a director who was 16 years older than her, and although she still helped him raise two daughters, the two did not enter a state of marriage.
Later, Liu Guanwei invested in the movie "Mr. Night Devil" and asked Li Saifeng to play the heroine. After the film was released, the box office fiasco failed, and Liu and Li also shot and scattered. When asked why he broke up, Liu Guanwei simply said four words, "disagreement."
Li Saifeng's second husband, Luo Qiren, wrote in his autobiography "Two-Faced Life":
"Since I knew Li Saifeng, she has always hated people who smoke, and once she was very angry and complained to me about the director's boyfriend's bad habit of smoking."
It seems that the two people not only disagree with each other, but even have discord in their living habits, and the result of not being able to tolerate each other is naturally that they will go their separate ways and die.
In 1995, after filming "Little Devil Soldier", Li Saifeng decided to quit the entertainment industry to live the life of a housewife.
This is Li Saifeng's first marriage, her husband is a Cathay Pacific pilot, the two met at a private party, and after a period of time together, they chose to enter into marriage.
Two years later, Li Saifeng gave birth to the love crystallization of two people in Vancouver.
However, just a few months after Li Saifeng gave birth to the child, there was news that the two of them had broken the mirror and broken the righteousness.
Li Saifeng also returned to Hong Kong from a foreign country, and was even photographed by paparazzi working out in the gym, and people speculated that beating the female Li Saifeng was afraid of making a comeback.
Speaking of this failed marriage, Li Saifeng felt:
Two people living together is a big discipline, and it's important to know each other well enough and not try to change each other.
After many years, he finally understood the truth, and he missed it, but he has disappeared into the sea of people.
Li Saifeng, who was looking forward to paying after returning to Hong Kong, never had the opportunity to regroup, after all, the times have passed, her good feng shui has not known where to go, coupled with the increasing downturn of Hong Kong films, it is difficult to find the glory of the past and become difficult to ascend to the sky.
And at this moment, she met Luo Qiren.
Luo Qiren, before retiring, was a well-known surgeon and was known in the industry as the Holy Hand of Divine Doctors. His father, Luo Zuyao, is the president of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Plastic Manufacturers Association and has a wealthy family.
Luo Qiren is known as the "prince of the toy family" and personally sits on 700 million assets.
After repeated investigation and research, Luo Qiren, who originally had a special love for artistic creation, began to think of doing "action musicals" after retirement.
Action actress Li Saifeng, who has always been an artist that Luo Qiren admires very much, he entrusts people to thread the needle, hoping to invite Li Saifeng to join his newly established troupe.
After several turns, the two people finally met, and after some exchanges, they were like-minded and hated each other. Li Saifeng immediately decided to join Luo Qiren's troupe.
After a period of time together, Luo Qiren found that he gradually developed love for Li Saifeng, even to the point of being unable to extricate himself.
Luo Qiren, who was nearly a year old, changed his old age to holding a weight, learned to send flowers to Li Saifeng by young people, and invited her to eat and watch movies, just to win the hearts of beautiful people.
At that time, Li Saifeng had not yet escaped from the love, her heart was dazed and lonely, her judgment was poor, and she was in urgent need of emotional substitutes, when someone was gentle with her, psychological inertia pushed her to approach the tenderness like a moth to the fire, and she would not think about whether this gentleness was robbery or fate.
A year after ending the marriage, Li Saifeng once again put on a holy wedding dress, walked through the red carpet with Luo Qiren in his hand, and opened a new chapter of happiness in his life.
After marriage, Li Saifeng took the son born to her ex-husband and settled in the United States with Luo Qiren and his adopted daughter.
With his professional vision, Li Saifeng has made "action musicals" a great success, and the six major action musicals launched in succession have achieved double harvests of word-of-mouth and box office.
And the picture of their family of four and happy and harmonious often appears on the headlines of the entertainment version.
The male protagonist Duojin, the female protagonist Wangfu, for a time, Li Saifeng and Luo Qiren's rich and good relationship, became the happiness benchmark of the four parties.
However, 6 years later, Luo Qiren took the initiative to apply for divorce procedures and sent Li Saifeng to the cutting board with a breaking news, which made her suffer from the knife trick of public opinion.
Luo Qiren told the public that Li Saifeng and his 20-year-old Yizi Zong Tianyi had deviantly committed and were blocked by himself.
According to Luo Qiren himself, on the day of the incident, he originally wanted Li Saifeng to accompany him to the concert, but Li Excuse was not happy and did not go with him.
When he returned from the concert, he had just pushed the door and entered the room, when he saw Li Saifeng coming out of the bedroom and quickly closed the bedroom door. Then he said that he wanted to go out with him for a walk, and he tugged at his arm as he spoke.
His wife's actions made him suspicious, what was the intention of seeing him come back and close the door? Dragging him out of the door was obviously to hide the sky and cross the sea.
Luo Qiren took the opportunity to go to the toilet to see if there were any Tibetans behind the shower curtain. After finding no one, he took advantage of Li Saifeng's lack of preparation, quickly rushed into the bedroom, opened the closet, and saw Zong Tianyi standing inside, wearing only a pair of underwear.
In a panic, Zong Tianyi explained incoherently that his mother Li Saifeng wanted to help him buy underwear.
An enraged Luo Qiren found a used condom from his home and directly asked Li Saifeng, what is going on?
Li Saifeng said that it may be that Yoshiko brought his girlfriend back.
Luo Qiren claimed that he had never seen such a flawed explanation, and the key was that he had blocked Zong Tianyi in the closet and found an explicit email in his wife's mailbox.
For a time, the "closet Tibetans" became the laughing stock of the Hong Kong people's street talk.
No matter how vividLy Luo Qiren said it, he failed to produce evidence to confirm it. However, he said: "I don't have photos to prove it, but I talk about logic and truth in everything." ”
Soon after, Li Saifeng responded to the matter on the Internet. She said that Luo Qiren's remarks about her and Zong Tianyi were all fabricated and purely out of nothing! He is just trying to cover up the truth of his cheating, and the thief shouts to catch the thief.
Li Saifeng told the public that she found a large amount of evidence at home that Luo Qiren cheated on the troupe actress Wang Xiaoli, including Xiaosan's swimsuit photos and Luo Qiren's consumption records of spending money on Xiaosan.
Li Saifeng's revelations against Luo Qiren are obviously more lethal and convincing, after all, people have found evidence, which is always more popular than empty talk.
Under Li Saifeng's aggressive momentum, Luo Qiren admitted that he was with Wang Xiaoli in 2007.
But surprisingly, Wang Xiaoli, who destroyed other people's families, took Li Saifeng to court, believing that Li Saifeng's propaganda about her relationship with Luo Qiren made her infamous and affected her parents.
The court rejected some of Wang Xiaoli's claims, after all, Li Saifeng said the truth, but because Li was too extreme when he mentioned Wang, he ordered Li Saifeng to publicly apologize to Wang Xiaoli.
Soon after, Luo Qiren began to produce moths again, and wrote a book specifically on the content of "Li Saifeng's Derailed Righteous Son". In other words, this Luo Qiren is really a cruel person, let's not say whether what he wrote belongs to the wind and shadows, even if it is true, shouldn't it be covered up? Is the feeling of wearing a green hat so useful?
In his new book "Two-Faced Life", we see his extremely demeaning remarks about Li Saifeng, completely ignoring the conjugal affection of these years:
The two of us were not at the right door — I had a high degree and she didn't; my family was financially strong, and neither did she; I had a good family education from an early age, and she still didn't.
Luo Qiren even provoked Li Saifeng on the public platform, saying "I will kill you no matter what".
Li Saifeng is by no means an idle person, in the face of Luo Qiren's fierce clamor, she finally can't help but be indignant - in the movie she starred in, "Helping to Read the New Star", the bridge section of "wardrobe Tibetans" was cleverly added. And the male protagonist is Zong Tianyi.
In the eyes of the public, her intention to do this is always a bit like using one incomprehensible metaphor to fight against another incomprehensible, but she thinks:
"He can make up such an exaggeration, I will ask the director to make it more exaggerated, so that everyone can see how ridiculous this thing is!" Just know that this thing can't be true at all. ”
Although Douzui did not lose, Li Saifeng lost the divorce lawsuit with Luo Qiren, and the court ruled that Luo Qiren only needed to bear Li Saifeng's maintenance for half a year.
Once a brilliant generation of stars, but the dream of the giants is shattered. Two people without resonance are doomed to break the string.
I hope that Li Saifeng will finally meet the person who knows the cold and warm for her and the note that echoes her in the next chord of her life.
