This year's 74-year-old Hong Kong veteran actor Huang Shuyi always plays the role of a rough and rough fat master in TVB dramas, perhaps many young viewers don't know, in fact, she was also one of the TVB "Four Great Flowers" in the 70s, along with Wang Mingquan, Li Siqi and Zhao Yazhi.
criticized the younger generation for their poor attitude towards filming
In 1983, Huang Shuyi immigrated to Canada with her husband, left the Hong Kong film and television industry for 20 years, and returned to TVB in 1999 to shoot the TV series "Temple Street, Mom, Brother", only to find that the atmosphere is completely different from the old days, a little Xi unconventional, and in recent years, newcomers have become more and more outrageous.
Huang Shuyi admitted frankly that the current actor's work attitude is very different from that back then, and the current actor will watch the replay after filming a scene, and will ask for a reshoot because the director did not take a close-up shot of him.
She said that she was not qualified to ask the director to reshoot at that time, as long as the director thought that the overall effect was good, she would pass it, and would never slow down the progress because of personal desires.
She criticized the current director for having no authority, and the actors are also used to being "arrogant", bluntly saying "It's really blind!"
In the early days of entering the industry, she was a beautiful girl, and her first time filming a drama was the heroine
Wong Shuk-yee was born in Guangzhou, and moved to Hong Kong Wai Man Village with her parents at the age of eight from Cangqian New Street, Haizhu North Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou.
His father was a chemical engineer who owned his own chemical factory, and his mother was a car clothing worker. Although she has poor grades in school, her good appearance has always attracted her attention.
In 1967, she was admitted to the second artist training class of Li's TV, and went to dub before graduating, and was highly used with "Li's Three Flowers" Liang Shunyan, Lai Wanling, and Pang Biyun News, and was a very early female news anchor in Hong Kong. It's a pity that not long after entering the industry, Huang Shuyi suddenly disappeared in Li.
When she was young, her temperament and appearance were very different from today
At that time, the company filmed an event for her, and she needed to wear Wang Mingquan's "Pink Girl" suit, but she refused, and did not cooperate with the company's photographer, which made the company's senior management angry, so she was fired by the company.
However, she was destined to eat this line of food, and it didn't take long for her to meet TVB's Zhong Jinghui King Sir under the introduction of a friend, and was recommended by the other party to sign a contract with TVB, and she played the heroine in the first play "Dream of Love".
Not long after her debut, she was highly praised, and she was even called the "Three Great Queens of TVB" with Wang Mingquan and Li Siqi. Until 1973, Huang Shuyi and the producer had a discord due to misunderstanding, and left TVB to return to Li's development, and returned to TVB 3 years later, filming many famous dramas such as "Book of Swords and Enmity", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", etc., and the performances were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Don't listen to the persuasion to marry a poor director and become a "servant"
Huang Shuyi was very good-looking when she was young, and naturally there were many suitors around her. She has experienced two marriages, the first husband is the late famous director Liu Fanggang, she married Liu Fanggang, who was 20 years older than herself at the age of 19, and gave birth to a pair of children, and the marriage ended after only 8 years.
Wong Shuk-yee once joked in a program interview that she had a rebellious personality when she was young, ignoring her parents' opposition to marriage: "I feel that I have found someone who can be entrusted with my life, who has a career, an economic foundation, and a sense of security. 」
It wasn't until after marriage that he realized that his ex-husband was too big a man, and even poured tea and prepared slippers for him after work. Huang Shuyi felt that the two had incompatible personalities, but the other party refused to sign a divorce, so she ran away from home and separated in Canada, and finally divorced.
Divorce and then form a happy family and enjoy the happiness of children
In 1981, she remarried her doctor Xu Jingqing and gave birth to two sons, and two years later her family immigrated to Vancouver, Canada.
It is understood that Dr. Xu is two years younger than her, but everyone is very agreeable, including the outlook on money and life, and most importantly, Dr. Xu has a good relationship with her ex-husband and children, and the family is very harmonious.
In order to accompany her second husband to study, she asked producer Wang Tianlin to delete the role in "Xiao Shiyi Lang", and after marriage, she was even more determined to fade out of the entertainment industry to concentrate on her husband and children, she said that her husband did not prohibit her from making a comeback, but her children were still very young.
She had meniscus surgery a few years ago due to knee strain caused by wearing high heels
In recent years, when her children have grown up, she has begun to occasionally return to Hong Kong to film dramas or host food shows, and the shows she hosts are believed to be the favorite of many teachers and grandmothers in the neighborhood.
Although Huang Shuyi is a good cook, her husband's cooking skills are also good, and the two couples will talk about drinking and eating when they sit together, which is a big advantage in maintaining this family.
Heartache son was hidden by TVB
In 2000, Huang Shuyi returned to TVB to make dramas, such as "Fat Field", "I Wish Dad...", etc., she left a deep impression on the audience. During this period, he faded out, and returned to TVB for the fourth time in 2005 to host "My Soup and My Water" and "My Shuwu Food", which were very popular with the audience.
However, she couldn't stay in Hong Kong for a long time to develop, and refused to act more times, mainly for the sake of her family. It is known that his eldest daughter is now married, his second son is one of the founders of a famous social game company, and his third son is an engineer who studies robots.
and the youngest son Xu Zhaoping followed his mother's footsteps into filming, and in the early years, it was rumored that Xu Zhaoping was hidden by TVB because he was unwilling to sign a long death contract. Huang Shuyi was very angry when she learned that her son was hidden by the snow, and she once found a high-level theory, thinking that her son was very ambitious in studying in the acting course, and it was unreasonable to hide him because he refused to sign a long-term contract.
Xu Zhaoping once listened to his mother's words on ViuTV, and in recent years, he has returned to TVB, and earlier filmed the drama "White Strongman II".
In recent years, Huang Shuyi has been exhausted by TVB's mountain culture, and the production quality of dramas has also declined year by year, which made her lose confidence in TVB, and after she filmed a food program for ViuTV in 2019, she switched to Shaw Brothers, but at present, Shaw Brothers does not have much work for her.
Now in her seventies, Wong Shuk-yee has long been able to live a semi-retired life, rarely performing in front of the camera, occasionally flying between Canada and Hong Kong to meet and party with friends, and live a leisurely and comfortable life.
A few days ago, Huang Shuyi showed her good cooking skills again, and hosted a banquet to entertain many friends at home, including Gao Zhisen, Sin Kwok-lam, and the recently deceased screenwriter Lin Chaorong and his wife, columnist Qu Yingyan, were also guests.
From her smiling expression, it is not difficult to feel how happy and comfortable she has lived in recent years. However, I still hope that there will be a chance to see her perform in a new drama in the future!
