preface
Recently, an interview video of the Liu Xiaoqing Huabiao Award was broadcast, and the 71-year-old Liu Xiaoqing's full "science and technology face" status caused controversy.
I saw that Liu Xiaoqing's face in the video was stiff, his eye bags were obviously wrinkled, and his cheeks were also a little "steamed", and he no longer had the beauty of his youth.
At the Huabiao Awards, 71-year-old Liu Xiaoqing was in the same frame as Wang Fuli of the same age on the red carpet.
One is elegant and old, but the other is "old" and does not admit defeat, with a face full of science and technology, the two are judged by comparison.
Remember that back then, 39-year-old Liu Xiaoqing starred in Wu Zetian, at that time, she played 17-year-old Wu Zetian without the slightest sense of discord, her face was like a silver platter, her eyebrows were watery, and she was full of girlish coquettishness.
Now 30 years later, why has Liu Xiaoqing become like this?
First, the early experience of smooth winds
Liu Xiaoqing, 71, was born in Chongqing in 1952, her father was a medical professor at the hospital and her mother was the principal of the high school attached to the Sichuan Institute of Physical Education.
Liu Xiaoqing has loved music since she was a child, and when she grew up, she was admitted to the Affiliated Middle School of Sichuan Conservatory of Music, mainly learning dulcimer and piano playing, and later in 1971, with her outstanding appearance and artistic talent, she was selected as an actor in the Chengdu Repertory Troupe in China.
In 1992, the propaganda team of Xuanhan County selected Liu Xiaoqing and took her to start performing various publicity performances on the railway, and in 1995, when Liu Xiaoqing followed the drama club to Bishan County to perform the propaganda team, he was taken by the director of the movie "Sea Eagle".
In the same year, Liu Xiaoqing participated in the filming of the movie "Sea Eagle", and just when Liu Xiaoqing felt that his career began to start, "Sea Eagle" stopped filming due to an accident.
Although "Sea Eagle" stopped before filming, the film opened the way for Liu Xiaoqing's interpretation, and in 1975, Liu Xiaoqing played one of the fishermen "sweet girl" in the movie "The Great Wall of the South China Sea".
In order to play this role well, Liu Xiaoqing walked around the fishermen's village every day, observing what the fishermen were doing every day, and lived with the fishermen for 8 months.
Seeing the day of filming, the director said to Liu Xiaoqing that your role may be replaced at any time!
Liu Xiaoqing had no choice but to prepare to be replaced while filming, so with a nervous mood, Liu Xiaoqing finished filming the role of "Sweet Girl", and after the movie was broadcast, Liu Xiaoqing also successfully debuted with this role and started his acting career.
From the shooting of his first film in 1975 to 1987, Liu Xiaoqing participated in various movies and TV series over the years, leaving many classic roles, such as in the movie "The Wild", Liu Xiaoqing played the former fiancée Jin Zi of the Prisoner Tiger.
In the plot, Kaneko once left a phrase that has been passed down to this day: "Your mother and I fell into the water, which one do you save first?" So far, this sentence is the "most difficult love question" for boys.
There are also many TV and movie works such as "Burning the Old Summer Palace", "Listening to Politics" and "Spring Peach", Liu Xiaoqing has also won many awards with these films, such as the Hundred Flowers Award, the Golden Phoenix Award, the Golden Image Award, the Golden Bear Award, it can be said that there are all kinds of awards.
In 1995, Liu Xiaoqing announced that he would play the role of Wu Zetian in the TV series "Wu Zetian".
At that time, although Liu Xiaoqing had won all the awards and her acting skills were pure, after all, she was 39 years old, and the audience was very worried about whether she could play Wu Zetian when she was a teenager, after all, this role spanned a very large span, spanning Wu Zetian's life.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoqing portrayed this role very well, from a 17-year-old girl coquettish, to a graceful and noble empress, to the power of the empress, and finally to a dying old man, Liu Xiaoqing can be said to play Wu Zetian vividly.
After the broadcast of this drama, the ratings rose steadily, and it was hailed as a milestone in Chinese historical dramas and became a generation of classics, and Liu Xiaoqing also became famous with the role of Wu Zetian.
However, Liu Xiaoqing, whose career had reached its peak, did not choose to rest there, and as early as 1990, Liu Xiaoqing began to go into business.
Until 1999, a full 10 years, Liu Xiaoqing successfully ranked in the top 50 of Forbes China's rich list.
For a while, the acting career and business career were in full swing, climbing to the top, seeing that life was smooth sailing, but accidents happened.
In 2002, the media broke that Liu Xiaoqing's tax evasion was placed on file for investigation, causing an uproar in public opinion.
2. Sudden accident, prison detention
In April 2002, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Local Taxation opened an investigation into Liu Xiaoqing's tax evasion, and in the same month, the case was transferred to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Liu Xiaoqing spent a full 422 days in prison until August '03 when he was released on bail by Jiang Wen.
This incident directly caused Liu Xiaoqing's life to fall into a trough, and the whole person began to languish, and Liu Xiaoqing disappeared from the public's field of vision.
After several years of rest, Liu Xiaoqing decided to regroup, so in 2005, Liu Xiaoqing participated in the TV series "Yongle Heroes and Daughters" and announced his official comeback.
Although she made a successful comeback, Liu Xiaoqing, who had experienced a period of silence for several years, was not as famous as before, and most of the audience did not welcome her "return", but Liu Xiaoqing insisted on engaging in the acting career he loved and continued to film.
Soon, she ushered in a turning point.
"Immortals are emotional, and the three realms are restless!"
This is the line of the queen mother in the TV series "Pauline Lantern".
In 2006, Liu Xiaoqing participated in the TV series "Baolian Lantern", which won the peak of CCTV 9.1 ratings after it was broadcast on CCTV.
Liu Xiaoqing also returned to the public's vision again with the role of the queen mother Niangniang in "Baolian Lantern".
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, but today's Liu Xiaoqing has plummeted because of "plastic surgery" and "calligraphy", why is this?
It turns out that with the development of the times, the Internet is becoming more and more common, and in the first two years, Liu Xiaoqing registered his own certain music account, at first just sharing some of his daily life, but netizens saw the difference in the video.
In the video, Liu Xiaoqing's face is stiff, the wrinkles of his eye bags are obvious, his cheeks are also a little "steamed", and his ears are very backward, suspected of doing a "facelift project".
Netizens commented under the video, and some people praised Liu Xiaoqing's beauty as it was back then.
Some people also think that Liu Xiaoqing is already "old" and should no longer "pretend to be tender".
However, everyone has a heart for beauty, although it is suspected of plastic surgery, but Liu Xiaoqing has played many classic roles for so many years and has a huge fan base.
So this incident did not have a very big impact on Liu Xiaoqing, and most people still admired Liu Xiaoqing for being able to maintain this state at the age of 70.
What really made Liu Xiaoqing's wind evaluation plummet was another thing, that is, writing calligraphy on a certain tone to bring goods.
Originally, as an actor, Liu Xiaoqing wrote calligraphy in the live broadcast to promote traditional culture, but slowly, calligraphy changed its taste.
In the live broadcast, Liu Xiaoqing would sign his signature every time he wrote a painting and calligraphy, and put it on the shelves for sale, and a few words were as high as several thousand yuan, which can be said to be "a thousand words of gold".
Could it be that Liu Xiaoqing's "calligraphy" is so powerful?
No, in fact, it is not, according to professionals, Liu Xiaoqing's writing is not particularly good, and the artistic value can only be said to be average, but although the price is high, some people still buy it in the live broadcast room.
Why would anyone buy such expensive calligraphy? As a well-known actor, a few words sold for a high price of several thousand, is it appropriate for Liu Xiaoqing to do this?
Third, the 71-year-old does not admit defeat, and the live broadcast "circle money" after plastic surgery
In fact, everyone buys a kind of feeling, Liu Xiaoqing has played many classic roles over the years, and has also won the love of many people.
Many people actually buy "calligraphy" for their youthful likes and feelings, and do not value its own value.
Coupled with the fact that Liu Xiaoqing's fans are older and have a certain economic strength, the price of these calligraphy is naturally not worth mentioning for them.
Although fans have no opinions, netizens exploded, although Liu Xiaoqing is a national first-class actor, he has played many classic roles.
But after all, Liu Xiaoqing did not have great achievements in the calligraphy industry, and the calligraphy sold was expensive, and a "character" was worth thousands of dollars.
Many netizens think that it is understandable for celebrities to bring goods, but as a famous actor, selling calligraphy in the live broadcast room at the age of 70 is not decent.
In addition to his "calligraphy", Liu Xiaoqing also sold various hand strings in his live broadcast, and the cheapest string of white jade Bodhi was sold for 69 yuan.
You know, Bodhi itself is not such a rare variety, and the market price is about 10 yuan.
Even a few dollars cheaper, you can get it, change hands to the star, but the price has doubled several times, it is really incomprehensible.
Amy itself is not wrong, after the plastic surgery incident was exposed, Liu Xiaoqing immediately issued a document denying it, and claimed.
"I haven't done a single skin care myself."
But as a famous actor, the "old drama bones" in the entertainment industry, in a certain sound to carry their own "sky-high calligraphy", so do not cherish their feathers, can be said to lose style.
The same actress surnamed Liu, the old drama bone Liu Xuehua is completely different.
I believe that no one will not know the Empress Dowager in the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", in the play, the Empress Dowager seems to be benevolent and resolute, but controls the dynamics of everyone in the harem, which can be said to be the "chess holder" of the Yongzheng harem in the entire drama.
At the end of his life, because he was worried about his son Lao XIV, he fell out with the emperor and left with hatred. And this complex "Queen Mother" role is played by Liu Xuehua.
Liu Xuehua was born in Beijing in 1959, her father graduated from Hujiang University and disciplined Liu Xuehua very strictly, and when Liu Xuehua was 5 years old, Liu Xuehua moved to Hong Kong with her family and grew up in Hong Kong.
At the age of 12, his father let Liu Xuehua start to learn Chinese painting, which laid the foundation for Liu Xuehua to enter the entertainment industry, and in 1978, 19-year-old Liu Xuehua participated in many films such as "Can't Help It" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" to officially open the road to his acting career.
After that, Liu Xuehua filmed a number of works, which can be said to be up-and-coming, and in 1985, Liu Xuehua was recommended to Qiong Yao by director Liu Lili, and since then began her life as the heroine of Qiong Yao's works.
From 85 to 94, in ten years, Liu Xuehua starred in a number of TV series produced by Qiong Yao, popular all over China, the peak of the original career, until now Liu Xuehua is still active in the film and television industry, starring in various TV series in the image of the elder.
Such an artist with both virtue and art is usually very low-key.
As an actress in the entertainment industry, as she grows older, many people will be anxious and uncomfortable, and even make up for her appearance in various ways, but for Liu Xuehua, appearance is not the most important, rather than worrying about appearance, it is better to maintain a calm attitude.
In life, Liu Xuehua will not cover his wrinkles with heavy makeup, but will generously show his appearance, just recently Liu Xuehua also posted his own set of writing, calm mentality and casual dressing, was evaluated by netizens as its "elegant aging".
is also the "old drama bone" in the entertainment industry, Liu Xiaoqing and Liu Xuehua's attitude towards life and age can be said to be very different, but these two behaviors can not actually distinguish between right and wrong, let alone superior.
We should not criticize Liu Xiaoqing because we agree with Liu Xuehua's attitude towards aging, let alone criticize Liu Xuehua because we agree with Liu Xiaoqing's maintenance of youth, these two kinds of life are just different people's different understandings of life.
epilogue
In real life, Liu Xiaoqing and Liu Xuehua not only represent two kinds of life, but also represent two definitions of "beauty" in modern times.
With the increasing development of modern technology, today's plastic surgery technology is booming, because of the popularity of "white and beautiful beauty" aesthetics, many women will undergo surgical face adjustment, thus forming a group of "awl faces" in the entertainment industry and Internet celebrity circles.
In fact, this situation is a manifestation of unconfidence, the parents of the body, we are born what we are, why do we need to change ourselves in order to cater to the aesthetics of others.
So in life, do you identify with "Liu Xiaoqing" or "Liu Xuehua"?
