Xu Feng, once a top actress in the Film and Television Circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan, created and witnessed the glory and loneliness of Hong Kong and Taiwan films.
Today's Xu Feng is the head of the Tomson Group, with a net worth of tens of billions.
From a "screen woman" to a business tycoon, Xu Feng's transformation stemmed from a "debt dispute".
The story of "repaying debts for her husband" and eventually marrying a rich creditor has added a little "legendary" color to Xu Feng's body, but her story is wonderful not only this.
Xu Feng's childhood was not happy.
In 1955, his father died unexpectedly, and his mother took Xu Feng, who was only 5 years old, to remarry someone else.
The economic conditions of the stepfather's family are also very ordinary, and the mother still takes Xu Feng through the door, and the already poor life is even more difficult.
For a long time, her stepfather was very indifferent to Xu Feng, and she could not feel the warmth of the family at all.
After finishing junior high school, Xu Feng said that she could not continue to study anymore, and she needed to earn money to share the family's expenses.
At the age of 16, Xu Feng filled out two job registration forms, one from an electronics factory and the other from Federal Pictures' actor recruitment form.
"Double insurance" will make her more at ease, at that time she did not have a dream of stardom, just wanted to find a job to earn money.
Providence tricked people, and finally Xu Feng received an interview invitation from Federal Pictures.
It may be that Xu Feng does have an outstanding talent for acting, and after some tossing, she has become an actor without any acting foundation.
Shortly after entering Federal Pictures, she was faced with another choice.
The electronics factory also gave her a job offer, and there was a casting notice for "Dragon Gate Inn" on the table.
When the female workers go to earn money, the role of "Dragon Gate Inn" must be selected from many actors before entering the crew.
Xu Feng struggled for a long time, and many years later, when she recalled this past, she said, "If the notice of the electronics factory was two days earlier, I would have become a female worker." ”
In the end, Xu Feng chose "Dragon Gate Inn".
Young and beautiful, she stood out and successfully entered the group.
Later, she learned that more than 4,000 people had selected 12 of them.
The director of "Dragon Gate Inn" is Hu Jinquan, a person who is extremely serious about his work.
Xu Feng was in the crew, and the voice of Hu Jinquan scolding the heroine Shangguan Lingfeng always echoed in his ears.
She was very afraid of Hu Jinquan, so when she appeared on camera, Xu Feng played twelve points of spirit and did not dare to make a mistake.
Although Xu Feng has only a few shots in "Dragon Gate Inn" and is a very small role, she has not made any mistakes, and her vivid performance has impressed Hu Jinquan.
After the filming of "Dragon Gate Inn", Hu Jinquan prepared "Chivalrous Girl".
The first thing he thought of was the 16-year-old Xu Feng, who was only 16 years old but had a good performance, and he decided to let her be the heroine.
Xu Feng was not happy to learn that Hu Jinquan was going to use her.
First, because the company boss wants to let Shangguan Lingfeng or Zheng Peipei star.
The second was that she was afraid that Hu Jinquan would scold her, after all, she had seen how Hu Jinquan scolded Shangguan Lingfeng.
But Hu Jinquan has already made up his mind, and Xu Feng has become a heroine in "Chivalrous Woman".
Xu Feng was mentally prepared to enter the group after being scolded, but Hu Jinquan's severity still caught her off guard.
In the first scene, she was arranged to play with 40 people, and as a result, she made a mistake in her movements, and was scolded by Hu Jinquan in front of bailai people, and there were many reporters on the set.
During the filming of a fight scene, the actor who played the scene confiscated his hand, and the knife was directly cut on Xu Feng's head, and his face was bleeding at that time.
Xu Feng did a simple treatment, and after the bleeding stopped, he continued to shoot as if nothing had happened.
Because a line or an action is not in place, it is remade more than a dozen times or even hundreds of times, which is a common thing for Xu Feng.
After the filming of "Heroine", Xu Feng seemed to have changed a person, and she once told the media: After filming the scene directed by Hu Jinquan, it is very simple to shoot the scenes of other directors.
Bitterness did not eat in vain, and in the end, "Heroine" won awards at the three major film festivals, and Xu Feng not only became a popular actress, but also became Hu Jinquan's "royal heroine".
With the continuous rise of her career, Xu Feng subsequently starred in a number of films and was also nominated for two Golden Horse Awards.
She has a place in the entertainment industry, but Xu Feng still hides a heart that makes her vaguely uneasy.
At the age of 15, Xu Feng's family had already promised her to a man, just to alleviate some of the pressure of life.
When Xu Feng was not famous, the husband and wife were still quite stable, but now That Xu Feng was already a popular actress, her husband started his own small calculation.
Taking advantage of Xu Feng's fame, he borrowed a huge debt to invest, and as a result, he lost everything without tossing and turning.
Xu Feng angrily wants a divorce. The man agreed, but on the condition that Xu Feng helped pay off the debt.
In order to get rid of this man, Xu Feng agreed to his conditions, ended this relationship without feelings, and began to embark on the road of "paying off debts for her husband".
Xu Feng's ex-husband has many "creditors", one of the larger creditors is called Tang Junnian.
Tang Junnian was only two years older than Xu Feng.
At the age of 22, he came to Taiwan alone to work hard, and when he met Xu Feng, he was already the "curtain king" at that time, and he also bought two department stores on commercial streets, which was a veritable rich man.
Xu Feng worked hard to repay the debt, and now her ex-husband's debt has been repaid, which is a large amount of money that is different from Tang Junnian.
After the two met, Tang Junnian was not only moved by Xu Feng's story of "paying off debts for her husband", but also attracted by her beauty and temperament.
The money was not going to be wanted either, and he directly pursued Xu Feng.
Of course, Xu Feng would not agree at first, even if the other party was a young and promising rich man.
It is also true that from "repaying debts for the husband" to "the creditor's wife", no matter how you look at it, it is a strange thing, and if you don't do it well, you will fall into the conversation and let people talk about it.
But Tang Junnian didn't care so much, he identified Xu Feng.
Xu Feng filmed, and he took delicious food to visit the class.
Xu Feng did not shoot scenes, he drove Xu Feng around to relax.
Coming and going, Tang Junnian's companionship and care made Xu Feng feel the warmth of a long absence, and she finally broke through the shackles of thought and agreed to Tang Junnian's pursuit.
In 1980, on the eve of their wedding.
Tang Junnian bought all the roses in the flower shop and gathered 30,000 flowers to arrange at the wedding scene, and Xu Feng was moved to tears on the spot after seeing it.
The move also opened up a new market for the wedding industry: flower weddings.
After marriage, the two soon had children.
At that time, Xu Feng was tired of filming in the front line, and she wanted to transform behind the scenes.
Tang Junnian learned of his wife's idea and gave 4 million yuan to Xu Feng, asking her to do whatever she wanted.
The rich really did a great job.
Xu Feng was also unambiguous, and then established "Tomson Film Business Co., Ltd." and became a producer himself.
At that time, she had a dream that the movies she made would be shown in movie theaters all over the world.
In 1990, Xu Feng invested in the movie "Rolling Red Dust", which won 7 awards at the Golden Horse Awards that year, Xu Feng was successfully transformed, and the heroine lin Qingxia in the film also became the film queen of the year.
Subsequently, Xu Feng made a movie that will fulfill her dream of "Hongda".
In 1992, Xu Feng took a fancy to Li Bihua's "Farewell to the Overlord", and after buying the copyright in a big way, he planned to shoot the film.
This script is very important, from the director to the lead actor, she must personally control.
She identified Chen Kaige as the director's candidate.
At that time, Chen Kaige made an obscure movie "The Child King", and many people in the industry felt that this film was not good, only Xu Feng saw Chen Kaige's talent.
Xu Feng found Chen Kaige with the script of "Farewell to the Overlord" and wanted to invite him to go out of the mountain to direct this work.
Chen Kaige only thinks about art, and has little interest in the film adaptation of this popular novel, and Xu Feng eats a closed door.
But Xu Feng is an actress brought out by Hu Jinquan and has experienced great ups and downs, and this setback is not in the eyes at all.
In the following year and a half, Xu Feng stalked Chen Kaige and beat the hard bubble, and finally director Chen Da did not want to go and took over "Overlord Farewell".
Next up is the casting of the actors.
Xu Feng wanted to use Gong Li, Chen Kaige was anxious when he heard it, and yelled at Xu Feng: "Gong Li is Zhang Yimou's person, what do I mean by using her?" ”
Xu Feng was another soft and hard bubble, and Gong Li settled down.
Chen Kaige also understood that This play Xu Feng looked at it very seriously, and he didn't have to worry about choosing an actor for her.
The candidate for the male protagonist, Xu Feng has also been arranged earlier, and Zhang Guorong is her best candidate.
At that time, Zhang Guorong was already a superstar, and his agent was not surprised by Xu Feng's invitation, but put forward many harsh conditions, which made Xu Feng difficult to accept for a while.
Subsequently, the media exposed the news that "Zhang Guorong boycotted "Overlord Farewell"", and Xu Feng did not come forward to clarify, which is a default.
Seeing the news of Zhang Guorong's resignation, Zun Long, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately contacted Xu Feng, saying that he very much wanted to play this role and asked Xu Feng to give him a chance.
At that time, Zun Long was also a hot male star, looking handsome, and Xu Feng agreed to Zun Long's request.
Zun Long has great feelings for this role, because he and the protagonist cheng Dieyi in the play are orphans, and they both have a deep relationship with Peking Opera, and after getting Xu Feng's consent, he was excited for a long time.
It's just that after Xu Feng and Zun Long met, she regretted it.
Xu Feng felt that Zun Long's handsomeness was too angular and angular, reflecting the femininity of Cheng Butterfly's clothes.
The more he thought about it, the more inappropriate it was, and in the end, Xu Feng unilaterally terminated his contract with Zun Long, not only paid Zun Long a liquidated damages, but also saddled with the insult of "not talking about credibility".
Xu Fen's heart is still thinking of Zhang Guorong, and after another soft and hard bubble, Zhang Guorong finally agreed to play Cheng Butterfly.
After a lot of tossing and turning, "Farewell to the Overlord" was finally released in 1993.
After the film was released, the response was unprecedentedly enthusiastic. Numerous awards have been won at major film festivals in the world, and it has also set a new box office record for literary and artistic films in Europe and the United States.
Actress Gong Li was selected as one of the "100 Greatest Performances in Film History".
Zhang Guorong won the love of hundreds of millions of viewers in the mainland with this film.
Director Chen Kaige's name also added the four big words of "internationally renowned".
Xu Feng's dream of "making a movie that will be released all over the world" has also come true.
Xu Feng spent a lot of energy to shoot "Farewell to the Overlord", and she needed to relax.
Just then, Tang Junnian received an invitation from the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council at that time, inviting him to come to Pudong, Shanghai to have a look.
Xu Feng came to Shanghai Pudong with her husband, Tang Junnian looked at the project, and she took a vacation.
As a result, the business prospects of Shanghai Pudong have allowed the couple to see great investment value. The two did not go back and directly decided to invest in Pudong.
In 1993, aerial photography of Shanghai Pudong
Subsequently, the first five-star hotel and the first A-class office building appeared in Pudong, and Tang Junnian and Xu Feng also made a lot of money in this investment.
In 2004, the two men made a "top mansion" Tomson Yipin, and Tang Junnian became a predator in Shanghai's real estate industry.
The project is very hot, but Tang Junnian's body has serious problems.
In the year when "Tomson Yipin" was baked, 56-year-old Tang Junnian suddenly fell ill and died.
The leader of the great "Tomson Group" became Xu Feng.
At that time, no one was optimistic that this woman could hold up this burden, but Xu Feng not only held up, but also did a good job.
She began to train her two young sons to be in charge of the mainland and Hong Kong industries, while she took charge of the camp herself.
A few years later, Tomson Yipin became the trump card project of the "Tomson Group".
At this time, Xu Feng was already worth tens of billions.

Now that Xu Feng is 71 years old, her career is basically handed over to her son, and she has returned to the film circle that has struggled for half a lifetime.
After winning the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Horse Awards, she spent $5 million to fix her first film starring, "Heroine".
Going around, Xu Feng's heart still fell on the movie.
