"Girl with a Thousand Faces" Ye Tong, the first double queen of the Academy Awards, Leslie Cheung once praised her as a genius
I love you! is a controversial film, and the audience who likes it, praises this as a pure love movie about the elderly, and makes the twilight love taste young.
The audience who opposed it commented that this was Han Yan's self-repetition, blindly releasing emotions, using sensational BGM on a large scale, and did not know how to converge.
No matter how you evaluate the movie, one thing is unanimously recognized, Leung Ka Fai, Ye Tong, Hui Yinghong and Ni Dahong, the acting skills of the four are undoubted.
Especially Ye Tong, some people commented that her acting skills were too murderous.
It is understood that Ye Tong participated in "I Love You! , was introduced by Leung Ka Fai, the two have known each other for more than 40 years and know each other.
Leung Ka Fai is known as the "Thousand-Faced Movie Emperor", and Ye Tong is also known as the "Girl with a Thousand Faces", let's learn more about this "Xu Xian" today.
01, the first double actress of the Hong Kong Film Awards
Ye Tong, formerly known as Li Sisi, was born in 1963 in a well-off family in Hong Kong, her parents were small businessmen, and they usually did not discipline her strictly.
As a teenager, she saw models in fashion magazines and thought their clothes were beautiful, so she signed up herself.
Her tall figure and pure temperament allowed her to be selected, and she began to work part-time as a model, occasionally shooting some advertisements.
When filming the advertisement, I met my future husband Chen Guoxi, and when the two watched a movie, they happened to meet screenwriter Chen Yunwen, and chatted for a while.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, someone called her to audition, and then met Tan Jiaming, and then successfully signed a contract with Century Film Company for 3 years, officially starting her acting career.
Ye Tong's starting point is very high, and the first play is Tan Jiaming's "Agni Youth", which cooperates with Leslie Cheung and has a passionate rival play.
At that time, she was a newcomer, filming for the first time, plus another bed scene, it was inevitable to be nervous.
But Ye Tong was lucky, because her opponent was Leslie Cheung, and her brother's gentleness and body language were comfortable, which relieved her tension and pressure and completed the scene well.
In fact, my brother was also optimistic about her at that time, and many years later said in the show that Ye Tong was a genius, her ethereal was unmatched, and as a director, he must find her.
In "Fire Youth", her youthfulness was praiseworthy and successfully nominated for Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards, but that immortal fight and finally lost to Ma Sichen of "Into the Angry Sea".
If calculated according to the release date, "Agni Youth" is not Ye Tong's first play, because this drama has been filmed for a year, and the first to be released is "Kill Out of Xiying Pan".
Before the 3-year contract arrived, Century Film Company went bankrupt, but Ye Tong was not unemployed, because "Fire Youth" had already made her famous in the film industry.
Then with a bang, in 1983, he cooperated with Zhong Zhentao in "Seven Days of Love for Mistake", performed loosely and naturally, and won the Academy Award in one fell swoop.
That session of the film queen competition is also relatively large, in the face of Liu Xiaoqing, Lin Qingxia these seniors, she can stand out, it can be seen that the strength is good.
8 years later, she won the second queen trophy with "Marriage Don't Talk", becoming the first double actress in the history of the Academy Awards, a year earlier than Maggie Cheung.
Ye Tong said that when she played "Marriage Don't Talk", she really got the hang of it, and Leung Ka Fai taught herself a lot of skills to make it easier for her to invest emotionally.
She and Leung Ka Fai met as early as when they were models, the two played husband and wife in "Marriage Don't Talk", and there was also cooperation in "Ruan Lingyu", and then came to this "I Love You!" 》。
But there is a male star she knew earlier, Liu Qingyun and her were middle school classmates, but they were not familiar at that time, she only remembered Liu Qingyun's name was better, and she looked very dark.
In addition to Leslie Cheung praising her, there is also a superstar who also appreciates her, Chow Yun-fat once said that Ye Tong's drama is not like a play, she plays life and true feelings, this sense of realism makes herself very cordial and comfortable.
A good opponent can achieve each other, in "Waiting for the Dawn", Ye Tong helped Brother Fa win the first actor trophy, and in his last Hong Kong film "Peace Hotel" before he left Hong Kong that year, Ye Tong also contributed a wonderful performance.
02, I am not "Xu Xian"
In the eyes of many young audiences, Ye Tong is Xu Xian, and it is often said that after Ye Tong, there is no Xu Immortal.
So where did her anti-string road begin, which goes back to 1990 " Smiling Rivers and Lakes " directed by Hu Jinquan, Ye Tong dressed as a man, played the little junior sister Yue Lingshan, and performed a naughty and lively side.
At that time, Taiwanese producer Yang Peipei was preparing to shoot "Blue Sea Love", and wanted to find an actress, she must have the dashing of men's clothing and the softness of women's clothing.
Just when she was helpless, she saw Ye Tong in "Smiling Rivers and Lakes", and immediately decided that she was the heroine she was looking for, so she had the true temperament and smart Yue Ying in "Blue Sea Love".
Later, Yang Peipei collaborated with Ye Tong on the 94th version of "The Legend of Relying on the Sky and Slaying the Dragon", which has many praises, such as music, martial arts design, story adaptation, etc.
Ye Tong played two roles alone, starring Zhao Min and Yin Susu, and his acting skills naturally had nothing to say, but the styling was a little worse.
Yang Peipei asked her to shoot "Blue Sea Love Sky" because of "Smiling Rivers and Lakes", and she took over the filming of "The Legend of the New White Lady", because producer Cao Jingde watched "Blue Sea Love Sky", some things are destined.
When Cao Jingde was preparing for the filming of "The Legend of the New White Lady", he decided on Zhao Yazhi very early, but the male protagonist Xu Xian never landed, until he saw Ye Tong in "Blue Sea Love", he had a bold idea and decided to let Ye Tong play Xu Xian in reverse.
At first, Ye Tong refused, afraid that she would not act well, but under Cao Jingde's repeated invitations, she agreed, and her beautiful appearance and three-point interpretation created the most classic Xu Xian in history.
"The Legend of the New White Lady" was a great success, and then Cao Jingde pulled Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong to shoot "Emperor Girl Flower", "Sinful Sea Flower" and "Champion Flower", while the mainland is called "Troubled World", "The Legend of the New Sin Seaflower" and "Laughing at Good Fate".
03. Love, marriage?
Ye Tong met Chen Guoxi when he was 16 years old, when she was a model and Chen Guoxi was an assistant director, and there was cooperation when shooting commercials, and they started dating journeys as soon as they came and went.
In the early days, Chen Guoxi helped Ye Tong a lot, Ye Tong entered the entertainment industry without his matchmaking, when filming "Agni Youth", Ye Tong was more nervous, and he also gave advice, let her fantasize about Leslie Cheung as the person she loves the most.
In love for 8 years, the two married together and entered into marriage. Ye Tong's personality in life is introverted and introverted, and he has never had a scandal, only with Chen Guoxi.
But Chen Guoxi is different, he has been photographed with other women many times, Ye Tong sometimes clarifies for her husband, and sometimes does not respond.
She once said in an interview that she is a simple person, and in terms of feelings, she identified one as one.
She and her husband are both people who like freedom, and giving each other enough freedom is a condition for them to maintain a successful marriage, so she never asks Chen Guoxi what to do, and the two respect each other.
Fortunately, only she knows whether she is happy or not, and the perfect marriage is not defined by the outside world, I only hope that Ye Tong can always remain happy and happy, and can always act in a relaxed and natural state, bringing us more wonderful roles. (Reported by: Xiao 2)
