The Hong Kong entertainment industry is full of stars, and there is no shortage of well-known "big brother"-level figures. They have a high status in the circle, increasing prestige and strong appeal. However, there also seems to be a secret hierarchy between these bigwigs.
Take Xiang Huaqiang and Liu Luanxiong as examples, both of whom have significant influence in the industry. But interestingly, Xiang Huaqiang was able to ask the first-line superstar to kneel and apologize on the spot in front of everyone; In the face of actresses, Liu Luanxiong can only vent his dissatisfaction through violence.
Anita Mui, known as the "ever-changing diva" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, is a recognized first-line superstar. She not only occupies an important position in the film and television industry, but also is one of the most successful female singers in the Hong Kong music scene.
With her natural beauty and singing strength, Anita Mui is popular all over the country, and her popularity is unprecedented. She has starred in many awards, and her masterpiece "Rashomon" won the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. And her penetrating and infectious singing voice has captivated countless music fans.
However, when her career was in full swing, Anita Mui chose to end her life because of depression.
Her sudden death shocked the entertainment industry, and also heartbroken countless fans. In honor of this Hong Kong music legend, a grand farewell ceremony was quickly arranged.
At the farewell ceremony, many famous artists from the film and television circles gathered. They laid flowers or sang in mourning, bidding farewell to the diva of Hong Kong's music scene.
Among them, popular movie superstar Jackie Chan also attended. However, what people didn't expect was that shortly after the funeral, a shocking news came out of the media:
Jackie Chan was late for the funeral and was asked by Xiang Huaqiang to kneel on the spot to make amends to Anita Mui. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entertainment industry and fans, and people talked about it and speculated whether there was a hidden secret.
A reporter broke the news that Jackie Chan was nearly 1 hour late to appear at Anita Mui's farewell ceremony. His lateness obviously caused the dissatisfaction of everyone present, and he was even questioned by Xiang Huaqiang.
Xiang Huaqiang was emotional at that time, thinking that Jackie Chan's tardiness was extremely disrespectful to Anita Mui, so he ordered him to immediately kneel in front of Anita Mui to apologize in front of Anita Mui. At first, Jackie Chan wanted to pretend not to hear, but Xiang Huaqiang directly grabbed the glass in his hand and broke it in anger, roaring and ordering Jackie Chan to kneel again.
Under the deterrence of Xiang Huaqiang, Jackie Chan had to grit his teeth and kneel down in front of Anita Mui. The entire kneeling process is said to have lasted half an hour.
Seeing this, the other artists on the scene did not dare to say anything, and could only cooperate with Xiang Huaqiang. In order to maintain Anita Mui's dignity, this matter was not disclosed to the public at that time.
As soon as the rumor came out, public opinion was in an uproar. People have speculated whether there is a contradiction between Jackie Chan and Xiang Huaqiang, and this is Xiang Huaqiang's intention to humiliate Jackie Chan. Some people also believe that even if Jackie Chan's status is high, it is difficult to escape the anger of Huaqiang. For this shocking rumor, Jackie Chan himself has remained silent.
Unlike Jackie Chan's "forced kneeling" at the funeral, the rich Liu Luanxiong is more direct in dealing with actresses - using violence to make actresses submit.
As a giant in the Hong Kong real estate industry, Liu Luanxiong also has a high status in the entertainment industry. But his methods of dealing with actresses are quite rude, and he is completely suppressed by power to achieve the purpose of control.
According to rumors, Liu Luanxiong has repeatedly hit his ex-girlfriend Cai Shaofen, and even beat the other party until he miscarried. His other lover, Lv Lijun, was also severely beaten after turning heads with him. Even top actress Li Jiaxin was humiliated by Liu Luanxiong's main room call.
It can be said that Liu Luanxiong's control of the actress is completely based on the domination of material conditions. He used his financial position to make the actress obey through violence. This is completely different from Xiang Huaqiang's "order to kneel" method in front of everyone, and more relies on actual action to punish and intimidate.
The difference in the means of the two also reflects the difference in the influence of the two in the entertainment industry. Xiang Huaqiang was able to make the star submit by verbal orders, and this "soft power" was based on his higher personal prestige.
In contrast, Liu Luanxiong can only use material conditions and violence to suppress actresses.
It can be seen from this that although both stand at the top of the power in the entertainment industry, Xiang Huaqiang's status is obviously higher, so that the top superstar Jackie Chan can crawl down only through words.
This also confirms the view that "Hong Kong bigwigs also have hierarchies". Do you have any thoughts on these Hong Kong bigwigs?
