Recently, the Hong Kong circle has ushered in a lively gathering of stars.
Golden statue actor Xie Junhao held a 60th birthday party and invited a group of friends in the entertainment industry to participate.
Among them, the most conspicuous are the two Academy Award actresses around him, Carina Lau and Mao Shunjun.
The two accompanied the birthday star hand in hand to cut the roasted pig, which shows that the friendship is not shallow.
It is not new that Sister Jialing is good at socializing, she and Xie Junhao are familiar with each other, and it comes from many stage cooperations.
Today, I want to talk about another familiar face in Hong Kong, Mao Shunjun.
At the age of 63, her eyebrows are crooked, her smile is bright, and her state is the same as when she became popular.
Younger audiences may not be familiar with the name, but they must have heard of her story.
She was the only girlfriend Leslie Cheung admitted before her death, and the other party had proposed to her but was brutally rejected.
Since then, she has been married 3 times, retired 2 times, and made a comeback again, winning the Academy Award actress.
Deng Cuiwen, who has always been quick to talk, mentioned her respectfully: she is the best actor in my mind.
What is so great about this female version of Stephen Chow, who is as famous as Wu Junru!?
When it comes to Mao Shunjun, most people think of her and Leslie Cheung's green love story.
At that time, my brother was only in her early 20s, and she was only a 17-year-old girl who had just debuted.
The two are both Li's TV (the predecessor of ATV) entertainers, and it is said that her brother fell in love with her at first sight and "liked her so much".
No way, Mao Shunyun at that time was almost loved by everyone.
As director Zhang Jianting described her, it is a kind of beauty full of life:
Her joy, anger and sorrow jumped on her face, without any scruples. She squinted, grinned, laughed maniacally, pouted, and frowned, it was really a thousand purples and thousands of reds, intertwined. ”
Later, she and her brother were invited to star in "Nineteen Years Old in Love Story", and got a couple script.
The two cultivate feelings for the play, drinking tea and walking together in private, as long as they go out on a date, they must be dragging hands.
Coming and going, my brother simply played straight and boldly confessed: You are beautiful and beautiful, it is better to be a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Mao Shunyun was also cheerful, and simply replied "Okay".
The relationship between the two has been highly recognized by the parents of both sides.
The older brother thinks that he has found the love of his life, and soon takes the rose flower and proposes to Mao Shunyun.
Who thought that Mao Shunyun, who was still a little girl's heart, had no concept of marriage at all, and was immediately scared away.
This short and pure love came to an abrupt end.
As the intersection decreased, the two gradually drifted apart, until more than ten years later, they reunited for the collaboration "Family Happy Events".
In the play, they are vindictive, and eventually a lover finally becomes a family and enters the marriage hall hand in hand.
Outside the play, the two have changed from exes to friends, talking about everything, and the tacit understanding is still the same.
Especially on the mahjong table, Lin Qingxia and Liu Jialing couldn't afford to provoke.
The two not only play cards quickly, but also are boisterous, and always like to play Mahjong while playing Cantonese opera.
Often it was Leslie Cheung who sang the previous sentence, and Mao Shunjun immediately sang the next sentence tacitly.
In this way, Lin Qingxia was dizzy after not being able to fight two laps, and found a reason to escape; Carina Lau held on to four laps and also began to gasp.
At that time, Mao Shunjun married her third husband, and her brother also had Tang Hede by his side.
The two nestled on the sofa to do a show, and their posture was intimate and natural.
Talking about the intimate relationship over the years, talking about the past love time, there is no shyness.
The brother sighed: "We were lovers, and we are still lovers." ”
Probably the relationship with his brother who "has a lover and eventually becomes a brother and sister" is too beautiful, everyone talks about Mao Shunjun, and always remembers her gossip past.
But forget that she is also a powerful actor that cannot be underestimated.
Not long ago, Mao Shunjun was nominated for Best Actress at the 41st Academy Awards for the movie "Grandma Has the Second".
Although there are strong opponents such as Zheng Xiuwen and Zhang Aijia on the list, the audience still believes that she has a good chance of winning.
After all, as early as 2018, she defeated Zhang Aijia and Zhou Xun as the mother in "Golden Flower" and won the Golden Image Queen.
At that time, 42 years had passed since Mao Shunyun entered the industry.
It seems that he is a late bloomer at the age of 58, but Mao Shunjun's edge has been very accessible from the beginning of his debut.
At that time, the 16-year-old girl had a sweet voice, a ghostly personality, and a great talent for acting.
Even if her father blocked it for a while, she was still selected by the entertainment industry.
A lot of resources are sent to the door, hosting, dubbing, acting, and blossoming in an all-round way.
In particular, "Dream of Red Mansions" was put on the screen for the first time, and a number of Cantonese opera celebrities snatched their heads for the roles.
She is a newcomer Mao Shunjun, and she didn't need to audition at all, so she was handpicked by the director to play Lin Daiyu.
Tired of playing the role of the jade girl in literary films, she met Stephen Chow again.
The two collaborated on TVB's Taiwan celebratory drama "He Comes from the Rivers and Lakes", and Xing Ye, who first showed a nonsensical style, threw out jokes, and Mao Shunjun always cooperated seamlessly.
Stimulated by her comedy talent, she has since completely let go of herself, dressing up ugly and fearless.
The man-in-law in "Family Has Happy Events", her performance is more spiritual than Maggie Cheung in the same film.
In "Love Saint", she is a female liar who pretends to be crazy and sells stupidity, where is there an image to speak of?
Xing Ye, who partnered again, could only sigh when he saw it, "almost stole my limelight".
The dominatrix in "Happy Events in Hanada" is the most classic, full of leg hair and half of his face is birthmarks.
Leslie Cheung could only smile and shake his head: How can you be so ugly?
Without idol baggage, the performance style is exaggerated but funny, and everyone praises Mao Shunyun as a rare comedy genius.
She poured well, patted her ass and turned the track again.
No longer unscrupulously funny, but crumbled the bitterness of life into the performance.
In "Golden Flower", after winning the Golden Image Movie, she took care of her autistic son for many years, but her husband couldn't stand the pressure to find Mistress.
She blocked hoarsely, illustrating the despair of housewives to the fullest.
In the new movie "Outdated, Holiday", she has become a strong wife who makes people breathless.
Xie Junhao, who plays her husband, said that Mao Shunjun, who is usually gentle and gentle, has completely changed her personality as soon as she enters the play, and the contrast is extremely great.
Strong explosiveness and excellent acting skills, so why did Mao Shunjun wait for a throne of a film queen for 42 years?
Perhaps for her, the most comfortable state in life is that instead of desperately leading, it is better to take her time.
To tell the truth, Mao Shunyun has always lived an unworldly life and has no ambition.
When she was appointed as the heroine of "Dream of Red Mansions", she was so big that she forgot the signing date and asked a friend to eat seafood.
was proposed by Leslie Cheung, did not feel complacent, but simply ran away because he was unwilling in his heart.
Even when it is red, he dares to shake off the star halo and withdraw from the circle for love twice.
At the age of 21, her career was still on the rise, and Sister Mao directly stopped working: marrying a wealthy French-born overseas Chinese businessman, for Love Breath Shadow.
Who expected that this marriage would end in a hurry after only three years.
She made a comedy transition, met director Jiang Jiajun, finished, and fell in love again.
At the age of 29, she stepped into the marriage hall again, but because of her incompatible personality, she ended in divorce.
Mao Shunjun, who failed in marriage twice, was once very disappointed in love, but fortunately met Leslie Cheung again.
Under the mediation of her brother, she met and fell in love with her third husband, art director Ding Ping, who was 14 years older.
The two married in 1995, willful as Sister Mao, and said goodbye to the entertainment industry.
At that time, her comedy career was booming, but in order to take care of her two daughters, she was willing to be a housewife.
After focusing on his family for three years, Mao Shunyun made a comeback and significantly slowed down the pace of work.
Basically, I only make one movie a year, and the rest of the time is spent with my family and enjoying life.
He loved cooking, so he went to Le Cordon Bleu in France and spent 3 years learning to cook.
Open her YouTube account and look like a food blogger.
She learned French, learned Japanese, and learned to dance Latin and Hip Hop.
It is still the same Buddhist mentality, not asking how well you are doing, purely satisfying the love of the heart.
And, don't let yourself fall too far behind and keep pace with your daughters.
She is notoriously heavy-hearted, and naturally there will be no fewer friends.
Today, I have dinner with my old friends Tony Leung and Carina Lau and Wu Junru, and I can lean intimately on the shoulders of Wei Zai, who sells cute, and I admire it.
Cold knowledge, the four have acted in the 1984 version of "Luding Ji", so it is "Wei Xiaobao and his wives" and then in the same frame.
The next day, I watched a movie with my girlfriend Cai Shaofen Chen Farong.
Holding the queen trophy on the Academy Awards stage, just reading the list of thanks is a long list.
Is it too late to win the award at this age?
She was overjoyed and replied with a smile: "No, now is the best time." ”
Living to the age of 63, those actresses who were contemporaries of Mao Shunyun left and retired in retirement.
Only she is still active in the entertainment industry with an unhurried attitude.
When she was a girl, she acted in literary films, and she was as tender as water; Mature women turn into comedies, she is funny and funny; The middle-aged stage challenges family films, and she is delicate and moving.
You will find that at any time, she can accurately find her position, use the most comfortable state, and hand over the most satisfactory answer.
So, life is so long, as long as you live every day, why should you care too much about the worldly age frame?
The flow of water does not compete for the first, but for the gushing.
