Someone once said that if in the 80s and 90s, you happened to be a girl, and you happened to be a girl who wanted to be a star, then you should go to the Miss Hong Kong pageant; if you had a backstage, you should go to the Miss Hong Kong pageant; if you didn't have a backstage, you should participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant.
A seemingly illogical sentence said the real situation of the Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time, the beauty pageant gathered a lot of resources in the circle, there are bosses, directors, stars and so on, all the capital forces, climbing to the top here means that waiting for you is the most powerful star-making platform in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
And in the beauty pageant of that year, who can really be called the top king of the explosion?
She is not Deborah, not Zhao Yazhi, not Guan Zhilin, but The Asian Empress Yang Baoling.
In 1967, Yang Baoling was born in a hong Kong acting family, her father was a well-known director, and her mother was Li Yunchang, a big star who often appeared as a female in Cantonese blockbusters in the 60s and 70s.
With the favorable family conditions and the influence of her parents, the young Yang Baoling soon liked to perform, and whenever her parents returned home, Yang Baoling asked them to accompany her to "act" because she liked the feeling of being a princess.
Calm and happy time always seems so short, Yang Baoling has slowly begun to grow up under the kind care of her parents, and looking back, Yang Baoling has become a beautiful and dignified girl next door without losing her youthful vitality.
In the more than ten years of growing up, Yang Baoling not only did not forget her childhood hobbies, but brought it into her own learning life. In school, Yang Baoling is a resident guest of various literary and artistic performances, there are drama performances, there are drama performances, and even dances that are not very compatible, teachers and classmates are very fond of this living treasure.
Of course, such an outstanding Yang Baoling is indispensable to the enthusiastic suitors, but unfortunately, no matter how she pursues, she will use a sentence to reject: "Young people, we must focus on learning." ”
Yang Baoling's mother, Li Yunchang, is a woman with a very modern cultural thinking, and she believes that girls must constantly broaden their horizons and cultivate their noble temperament, so that they can have their own independent thoughts and personalities.
Therefore, after Yang Baoling finished secondary school at Cui Girls' College, Li Yunchang chose to send her to Manchester, England to study, where Yang Baoling also met her first love, but this is the last word.
The four-year study abroad career not only exercised Yang Baoling's life ability, but also cultivated her unique values and excellent temperament, seeing that her daughter has undergone such a big change, Li Yunchang is very relieved, and her hard work has not been in vain.
After graduating, choosing a career has become the top priority in life, but this is not a big problem for Yang Baoling, who has a clear goal in her heart. After consulting with her parents, Yang Baoling decided to start her acting life.
In 1987, Yang Baoling, who just turned 20, chose to participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, and with her beautiful appearance and noble temperament, she reached the final, and it was Qiu Shuzhen who competed with her for the final championship.
Judging from the selection process and mechanism of that year, in fact, Qiu Shuzhen pressed Yang Baoling even more, but because Qiu Shuzhen was revealed to have had a facelift before the official results were announced, this was undoubtedly a blow to the organizers who were holding the slogan of "selecting natural beauty, natural beauty" at that time. Therefore, under the balance of all parties, the selection staff believed that Yang Baoling was more suitable for being elected as a champion, so Yang Baoling easily won the title of Hong Kong Sister.
Yang Baoling, who won the title of Hong Kong sister, did not stop her pace of progress, taking advantage of this momentum, she participated in a series of beauty contests.
In 1987, Yang Baoling was awarded the title of Miss Goodwill International.
In 1988, Yang Baoling participated in the Miss World contest held in the United Kingdom, she used fluent spoken English to communicate, confidently showed all her strengths, so as to win the crown of the Asian Queen in one fell swoop, successfully broke the situation of Hong Kong's zero crown in the Miss World pageant, and successfully became the first "Miss World" in Hong Kong.
In the same year, Yang Baoling was invited to participate in the Taiwan Miss Ball Selection Contest and won the fifth place.
With so many shining titles, Yang Baoling believes that her opportunity to step into the show business circle is ripe, and in the face of the olive branch thrown to her by several major entertainment giants in Hong Kong, she decided to choose the powerful TVB as her main battlefield.
Of course, TVB's treatment of Yang Baoling is also not enjoyed by ordinary people, whether it is the prime time host work or TVB's most top-notch home student, Yang Baoling can choose at will, as long as she wants to mention.
In 1987, Yang Baoling's partner partnered with "Emperor of a Thousand Faces" Leung Ka Fai to star in her screen debut "City Beauty".
In 1988, Yang Baoling participated in the movie "Flying Tiger" directed by Hong Jinbao and starring Jackie Chan.
It can be said that in the three years of TVB, the male protagonist who played with her was either Liang Chaowei or Andy Lau, either Chow Yun Fat or Jacky Cheung, plus most of these movies were starred by her, and soon Yang Baoling became the hottest actress at that time.
Although the heat is very high, Yang Baoling has always maintained her low-key personality, in addition to being able to see her performance in the work, it is difficult to find any gossip about her, so her "alternative" has added to the media's curiosity about her.
In 1990, Huang Baiming strongly invited Yang Baoling to be the heroine Annie in his new work "Happy Ghosts Save Happy Ghosts", and Yang Baoling was nominated for the Best Actress of the Hong Kong Academy Awards for her outstanding performance of this role, and her popularity reached its peak since her debut.
Most people will always choose to go crazy in the years of popularity, but Yang Baoling chose to retreat when she was at her most popular. Since starring in "Happy Ghosts Save Happy Ghosts", Yang Baoling has no new works, and she seems to have withdrawn from the entertainment circle silently.
In 1992, Yang Baoling's three-year contract with TVB officially expired, and TVB wanted to continue to renew Yang Baoling's contract with generous treatment, but she refused. Everyone thinks that the conditions for TVB to open did not meet Yang Baoling's expectations, so she wanted to fly alone, but in fact, this move was her final farewell to the entertainment industry.
By the time Yang Baoling appeared in front of the audience again, the time had come to 1997, and in five years, Yang Baoling had experienced all the vicissitudes of the world.
In 1997, some media found that Yang Baoling was in Australia and a man went through divorce procedures, and after confirmation, it was determined that the man was a Hong Kong singer named Chen Rongsen, who had collaborated with Yang Baoling to create songs, and his representative works included songs such as "Liver and Gallbladder", "Didn't Really Let Go" and so on.
Until this time, people understood that Yang Baoling had quit the entertainment circle in order to teach her husband and children and take care of her family, but it was a pity that Chen Rongsen let her hard work be adrift. According to Hong Kong media reports at that time, Chen Rongsen not only often went in and out of entertainment venues during his stay in Australia, but even raised Xiao San, and finally was caught and raped by Yang Baoling in bed at home. So the disheartened Yang Baoling chose to divorce and wanted to make a complete decision on the scumbag.
However, after the media reported the incident, Chen Rongsen refused to admit it, and also bit Yang Baoling, who claimed that Yang Baoling was a woman with a strong desire, and had to ask him two or three times a day, reaching more than ten times a week, and he couldn't eat it at all, so he chose to divorce her. Chen Rongsen unreservedly led the reporter to carefully "visit" the double bed where the two had spent a good night together, and under his colorful description, Yang Baoling, who used to be known as the "pure goddess", was completely reduced to "Hong Kong's first desired woman", and her image was completely empty.
In the face of such a shameless behavior of her ex-husband, Yang Baoling wanted to cry without tears, because after returning to Hong Kong from Australia, she originally wanted to return to the entertainment industry to make a living as a drama, and Chen Rongsen just seized her weakness and deliberately let her go nowhere.
Yang Baoling, who could not receive any film contracts due to her damaged image, could only temporarily rely on ribbon cutting to maintain her life, so she was also given a very ironic title - "Queen of Ribbon Cutting". On the other hand, ex-husband Chen Rongsen, the front foot just cried about his own difficulty, the back foot was filmed by the media to have lived with Zhang Keyi, who is also a beauty pageant.
After being hurt by enough love, Yang Baoling is no longer tender, she incarnated as a strong woman desperately to make money, a few years later, she invested all her savings in the jewelry business, and with the successful listing of the jewelry company under her name, she seemed to change and became a famous businesswoman in Hong Kong.
Subsequently, Yang Baoling moved to Las Vegas, where she met her second husband, Huang Yannian. Huang Yannian is the vice president of the marketing department of the well-known Caesars Palace Casino, because Yang Baoling occasionally plays cards at the casino, and the two feel that each other is very good after several conversations, so they decided to further communicate.
Huang Yannian's generosity and maturity made Yang Baoling feel very secure, and Yang Baoling's intellectuality also made Huang Yannian very fond, so after half a year of exchanges, the two held a grand wedding feast in Canada and entered the palace of marriage.
Marriage is the graveyard of love, and Yang Baoling thought that she would definitely be able to avoid this grave this time, but she was still wrong.
Huang Yannian has a traditional Chinese idea, he wants Yang Baoling to give up the business at hand and take care of the two families wholeheartedly, but Yang Baoling, who has obviously suffered in this regard, does not want to give up her career again, so she explicitly refuses Huang Yannian's request.
Because this contradiction could not be resolved for a long time, the relationship between the two was still broken, and the marriage that had lasted for 12 years quietly came to an end.
After Huang Yannian broke up with Yang Baoling, he still insisted on leaving a mid-mountain villa and a deposit of 14 million yuan to Yang Baoling, which was enough to see his deep love for Yang Baoling.
And after experiencing the failure of marriage again, Yang Baoling finally looked down on everything, in order to forget her troubles, she began to indulge in landscapes and rivers and play at will.
Perhaps it is heaven that pities this woman with a bitter fate, and at a friend party, Yang Baoling happened to meet her first love boyfriend in the UK, Gav.
The two talk about their past at the party, only to find that both sides have divorced, and Gav obviously can't forget Yang Baoling, the long-distance lover who used to make him worry about his stomach. Under his unremitting pursuit and meticulous care, Yang Baozhu finally let go of his inner guard and became someone else's wife for the third time.
In order to maintain his relationship with Yang Baoling, Gav sold his family property in the Uk, gave up his career, and went to Las Vegas to live with his wife Yang Baoling.
Today's Yang Baoling, it can also be regarded as a bittersweet, wishing her eternal happiness.
