In 1946, Dai Li, the head of the military command, proposed to the "actress" Hu Die, but the 38-year-old Hu Die had already married Pan Yousheng and had children, but Dai Li didn't care, and laughed that he had sent him to enjoy happiness.
Hu Die, known as the first beauty of the Republic of China, although her career is extremely successful, her love has not been as she wishes. As a fledgling, she was first slandered by her fiancé who ate soft rice, and then had an affair with Zhang Xueliang, and then was targeted by Dai Li.
In the bright lights of Shanghai Beach, Hu Die, who is both talented and beautiful, will be doomed if he is not careful. In the face of a bad hand, how can Hu Die, who is "clear", play smoothly? What is the ability of China's No. 1 "Asian Actress"?
Step into the performing arts and meet your first love
The so-called popular people are a lot of right and wrong. Hu Die, who is famous in Shanghai, actor Lin Xuehuai, foreign bank staff Pan Yousheng, and military commander agent Dai Li, these three men have run through Hu Die's life.
Unlike other movie stars of the Republic of China, Hu Die was born in an official family and is quite well-off. Tang Shaoyi, the first premier of the Republic of China, was the brother-in-law of Hu Die's father, Hu Shaogong.
As his father moved to Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other places, Hu Die could speak some "Beijing films", and he also knew a little about Shanghainese and Cantonese.
For the only daughter Hu Die, Hu Shaogong loves like a treasure, and when he was three years old, he asked his husband to enlighten Hu Die, and wanted to train Hu Die to become a well-informed lady.
Hu Die, who has broad knowledge and independent thinking, sprouted his dream of stardom at the age of 16 and persuaded his parents to agree to apply for the Chinese Film School.
After being successfully admitted, "Hu Die" became her stage name. Hu Die, who had just graduated and made his debut, starred in the movie "War Exploits" in 1925, but it did not cause much splash.
Hu Die, who was sullen about this, met his first love Lin Xuehuai at a banquet. Lin Xuehuai, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, saw her loneliness from Hu Die's eyes, and Hu Die took off her guard in a few words.
Lin Xuehuai, who ate Hu Die, took a fancy to this rising star who was not deeply involved in the world, and invited Hu Die to star in "Autumn Fan Resentment". The two played the male and female protagonists respectively, and Lin Xuehuai, who borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, undoubtedly gave Hu Die a big gift.
Knowing that she was going to play the heroine, Hu Die was very excited in her heart, and gradually developed a good impression of the prodigal son Lin Xuehuai. After the filming of "Autumn Fan Resentment", Lin Xuehuai invited Hu Die to the hotel to celebrate, and the two who fell in love because of the drama naturally became lovers.
Relying on "Autumn Fan Resentment", Hu Die successfully gained popularity and was selected by Tianyi Film Company, which everyone in Shanghai Tang knows. And the boss of Tianyi Film Company is none other than Run Run Shaw's brother Shao drunkard.
After their careers entered an upward period, Hu Die and Lin Xuehuai held a grand engagement ceremony in 1927. The giants of the entertainment industry, Zhang Shichuan, Zheng Zhengqiu, and Zhou Jianyun were invited to attend, giving Hu Die enough face, but this was the beginning of Hu Die's suffering.
After Hu Die became famous, she had an income of 2,000 yuan per month, not including dividends, and the company also configured a special car for her. But in contrast, Lin Xuehuai has been tepid, and even gave up acting and became a complete soft rice man.
But Lin Xuehuai, who eats soft rice and hard food, just made a lot of moths, and took Hu Die's money to toss around in business, and all investments were lost.
Not only that, disgusted that Hu Die was too busy with work, Lin Xuehuai also used this as an excuse to spend time outside, which nightclub girl is the most beautiful, where there is Lin Xuehuai.
Although Hu Die loves Lin Xuehuai deeply, he doesn't want to blindly indulge. After many times of persuasion to no avail, Hu Die simply cut off Lin Xuehuai's financial source and let him live at home.
But Lin Xuehuai was annoyed and angry because of this, and fabricated a lot of lace news, describing Hu Die as a young lady in Qinglou with a glamorous appearance and an extremely chaotic private life.
Many tabloids like to report this kind of scandal, and Hu Die, as a famous movie star on the beach, and the whistleblower is still the fiancé who has gone through the official scene, and the credibility has risen a lot, so the gossip about Hu Die was sold out as soon as it was published.
Lin Xuehuai's move is to believe that Hu Die cares about face and will not file for divorce with him, so he can easily handle Hu Die and let Hu Die continue to be his long-term meal ticket.
At that time, Ruan Lingyu, who had a deep friendship with Hu Die, was also a popular movie star in Shanghai, but because of her unhappy marriage, she once wanted to commit suicide by swallowing sleeping pills, and her career was also affected. Lin Xuehuai grasped this point, so he dared to be so presumptuous.
But in order to stay away from the scumbag, the brave Hu Die chose to go to court with Lin Xuehuai on the cusp. It took 8 times a year to go to court, and it was not until the end of 1931 that the "Diexue Termination Case" was finally resolved.
After not getting along with Lin Xuehuai and dying, Hu Die met the honest man Pan Yousheng again, what are the stories between the two of them? How did Dai Lian take advantage of the situation?
Reputation crisis, breaking the cocoon into a butterfly
Hu Die, the actress of the Republic of China: had an affair with Zhang Xueliang, and was imprisoned by Dai Li for 3 years, but her husband still did not give up.
The divorce turmoil between Hu Die and Lin Xuehuai has always been a topic of conversation among the citizens of Shanghai, but when Hu Die's reputation was at its worst, another big incident happened to her.
After the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, the Japanese invaders easily occupied the three northeastern provinces, and because Zhang Xueliang pursued a policy of non-resistance, the anger of the Chinese people was high.
At this time, someone unknown revealed to the newspaper that on the night of the 918 incident, Zhang Xueliang did not resist because he was dancing with Hu Die.
Hu Die, who happened to be filming "Laughing Karma" in Beiping, was involved in this non-resistance turmoil.
Ma Junwu, the president of the Northern Minmin University, even wrote a widely sung limerick poem satirizing Hu Die: "Zhao Si is romantic, Zhu Wu is crazy, but butterflies are the best." Gentle Township is the hero's mound, which cares about the East Division entering Shenyang. ”
This poem without exception puts the sin of non-resistance of the Northeast Army on Hu Die. In the eyes of many people, Hu Die is not only a red face and trouble, but also an out-and-out traitor.
In order to prove his innocence, Hu Die spent a lot of money to dredge up relations with the "Declaration", and published five or six explanations to refute rumors in the "Declaration", but these actions had little effect.
Seeing that the leading Hua Dan was chased and beaten by public opinion, the star film company found the great writer Xia Yan and tailored a movie "Wild Current" for Hu Die to fight against floods and inferior gentry, and forcibly raised Hu Die's image.
The market effect of "Wild Current" was beyond Hu Die's expectations, and the previous negative reviews were almost swept away. Under the introduction of her cousin Hu Shan, Hu Die met Pan Yousheng, who worked in a foreign bank.
With Lin Xuehuai's experience, Hu Die was not in a hurry to talk about marriage this time. At the same time, in 1933, in order to expand Hu Die's influence, "Star Daily" launched a "movie queen" voting activity in Shanghai.
Hu Die deservedly won the election with 20,000 votes, while Ruan Lingyu only had 7,000 votes to rank third. After winning the honor of "Movie Queen", "Sister Flower" starring Hu Die and Xiaosheng Zheng Xiaoqiu had a box office of more than 200,000 and won the championship that year.
Hu Die also went to the Soviet Union to participate in international film exhibitions because of this work. Before leaving, Ruan Lingyu also congratulated Hu Die: "It's good to be able to go out for a walk and broaden your horizons, I don't know if I have this opportunity in my life?" ”
Knowing Ruan Lingyu's emotional ups and downs, he comforted her and said: "Bitterness is sweet, tragedy will always come to an end!" ”
filmed three works "Gadgets", "Goddesses", and "New Women" one after another, Ruan Lingyu also won a lot of praise, and Hu Die thought that she could also regain her life. But at this time, Ruan Lingyu was only a blink of an eye away from Xiang Xiaoyu's death.
Disheartened by marriage and love, Nguyen Lingyu finally committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills in March 1935. Hu Die, who was also making a living at the festival and was still on his way back to China, empathized with Ruan Lingyu's experience.
Therefore, Hu Die, who didn't want to delay any longer, held a grand wedding with Pan Yousheng in the "Holy Trinity" Church on Jiangxi Road in Shanghai in November of the same year.
Hu Die thinks that Pan Yousheng treats people sincerely, has no fancy intestines at all, and does things solidly. On the day of the wedding, all the staff of the star film company were present and sang the "Hu Butterfly Newlywed Song" composed by Zhou Jianyun for butterflies.
Subsequently, the silent film master Chaplin also visited China in 1936, specially met with Hu Die, and gave Hu Die a lot of performance advice.
But after the all-out war of resistance began, Hu Die had to leave Shanghai Tang and take refuge in Hong Kong. Four years later, Hong Kong was lost, and Hu Die did not evacuate in time.
Kosuke Kuda, the head of the art squad of the Japanese Army's reporting department, knew Hu Die's influence, so he planned to invite Hu Die to participate in "Hu Die's Tour in Tokyo" to beautify the Japanese invaders.
Hu Die, who didn't want to be a traitor, rejected this traitorous behavior on the grounds that it was inconvenient for her pregnancy to go out, and asked her husband Pan Yousheng to contact the guerrillas privately to prepare for evacuation.
It is easy for people to send away, but the thirty boxes of gold and silver that Hu Die has accumulated over the years have become a headache for Hu Die.
In desperation, Hu Die entrusted all his net worth to a woman named Yang Huimin, and asked her to help transfer thirty boxes of property to the mainland.
But after returning to Shanghai all the way, there was no news of 30 large boxes. Hu Die, who was wandering around the auction house, happened to see his personal belongings listed among the furnishings.
Hu Die suspected that Yang Huimin had embezzled half of her life savings, so she used her connections to find Yang Hu, the commander of the Shanghai garrison, and then asked Dai Li to investigate.
Dai Li, who had nothing to do with each other before, had an intersection with each other. What are the entanglements between Hu Die, who is in the mouth of the tiger, and Dai Li?
The butterfly is gone, resigned to fate
In 1946, Dai Li proposed to Hu Die, Hu Die said that he already had a husband, Dai Li: I have sent him to enjoy happiness.
Dai Li, who is in the ascendant of the Kuomintang, has long heard that Hu Die is both beautiful and artistic, and he can't take his eyes off Hu Die when he sees him. According to Hu Die's request, Dai Li sent ace agents to arrest Yang Huimin.
But no matter how Yang Huimin was interrogated, she just refused to say where the box was, and bluntly said that it was taken away by robbers.
In order to please the beauties, Dai Li had no choice but to follow the list of items given by Hu Die and let the spies go all over the world to purchase. After collecting all the items on the list, Dai Li immediately sent someone to invite Hu Die to Dai's mansion for acceptance.
Seeing that the labels on these items were still there, Hu Die suddenly understood that Dai Li had spent a lot of money, and it was impossible for her to get out of the way.
Under Dai Li's arrangement, Hu Die lived in a luxury villa in Pipa Mountain, Chongqing. As soon as Dai Li has free time, he will go to the villa to chat with Hu Die.
As for Hu Die's husband Pan Yousheng, Dai Li also arranged a box of good errands for him and sent him to Yunnan. In 1946, Dai Li, who couldn't hold back, proposed to Hu Die and showed Hu Die a divorce agreement.
It turned out that after Pan Yousheng returned to Shanghai, he originally planned to find Hu Die's whereabouts, but he never wanted to wait for Du Yuesheng, the boss of the Green Gang. Du Yuesheng took a group of subordinates and gave Pan Yousheng two choices.
Faced with a powerful bottle of gut-breaking medicine and a divorce agreement, the honest man Pan has made a statement that if it is not a good thing for Dai Boss, their family will be in danger of life.
Pan Yousheng, who was forced to be helpless, had no choice but to sign the divorce agreement, and the overjoyed Dai Li immediately went to Dai's mansion with the divorce agreement, ready to propose to Hu Die, and bluntly said that he had arranged a way out for Pan Yousheng.
Just when Hu Die thought that he and Pan Yousheng were destined to marry into Dai's mansion, Dai Li suddenly had an accident.
In March 1946, after Dai Li's plane crashed in the western suburbs of Nanjing, Hu Die, who had been under house arrest for three years, finally regained his freedom. The moment he saw Pan Yousheng, Hu Die cried with joy and said bluntly: "Dai Li can only occupy my body, and will never get my heart!" ”
Pan Yousheng didn't care that Hu Die had been kept in captivity by Dai Li for three years like a canary. Knowing that Dai Li was dead, Pan Yousheng couldn't wait to take the child to greet Hu Die.
After all the hustle and bustle was over, Hu Die and Pan Yousheng returned to Hong Kong again and spent 6 years of happy life together until Pan Yousheng died of liver cancer.
And the heartbroken Hu Die chose to take a break from filming, and the 44-year-old Hu Die has been alone since then.
It wasn't until 8 years later that Hu Die returned to the showbiz. But Hu Die, who returned to the peak, starred in "Back Door" directed by Li Hanxiang in 1957, which won Hu Die the Best Actress Award at the 7th Asian Film Festival.
Hu Die, who ushered in the "second spring" of her career, became the first "Asian actress" in China at the age of 52. After that, Hu Die finished filming "The Woman in the Tower" in 1966 and bid farewell to his film career completely.
Writer Zhang Hatshui commented on Hu Die: "He is a down-and-out person, a daughter, with a deep personality, alert and refreshing." Five or six out of ten if Baochai, two or three out of ten if attacking, and one out of ten if Qingwen! ”
Even after leaving the film industry, Hu Die's influence has not diminished in the slightest. In 1986, Hu Die won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 23rd Golden Horse Awards.
After immigrating to Canada with his daughter, Hu Die changed his name to Pan Baojuan. Pan is her husband's surname, and Baojuan is her milk name.
In 1989, 81-year-old Hu Die left a sentence in Vancouver "butterflies are going to fly away", and then passed away with a smile.
Although the era of the star Hu Die has long passed, in the turbulent Shanghai Tang, Hu Die safely accepted the challenge of fate. Even though she is in troubled times, there will always be a legend of butterflies in Shanghai.
