Shaw Brothers has cultivated many "beating women", the most representative of which is actor Zheng Peipei. She was also a big beauty when she was young, and she was the "master of the Shaw Brothers".
There is also an actress whose appearance and skills are not inferior to Zheng Peipei, which is Li Lili. She can be called "Zheng Peipei's second", but unfortunately her fame and popularity are far inferior to Zheng Peipei. Even after leaving Shaw Brothers, his career began to decline, and when he was a little older, he could only be reduced to TVB green leaves.
Li Lili is a native of Hong Kong, and she is also the only daughter in the family, and she has been pampered since she was a child. Her fate with movies came from when she was a child, her mother took her to watch a movie, Li Lili gradually became interested in movies, and from this time on, she vowed to be an actor in the future.
When she was 14 years old, Li Lili learned that the second training class of the Nanguo Experimental Theater Troupe under Shaw Brothers Film Company was recruiting students, so she applied for the examination and successfully entered.
Two years passed in a flash, and after graduation, Li Lili was signed into Shaw Brothers Films.
Li Lili has good conditions in all aspects, so she is highly valued, and as soon as she debuts, she has all kinds of resources to come to her door, and they are all serving as the female number one.
In 1970, there was a classic Shaw Brothers movie "Ranger", which was played by Li Lili and Jiang David, in which Li Lili played the role of "Jiang Ling", which left a deep impression on the audience.
At that time, she was only 20 years old, young, beautiful, and agile, even Jiang David was deeply attracted to her, but Jiang David had a girlfriend at that time.
After that, Shaw Brothers created a series of costume films specifically for her, such as "The Moon Knife at the End of the World" and "Xiao Shiyi Lang" with Dillon, which are the masterpieces of her film career.
Suddenly, her popularity and fame were close to Zheng Peipei, and at that time, Shaw Brothers intended to push her fame to a higher level, but at this time, she faced the expiration of her contract.
Li Lili has been in Shaw Brothers for 11 years, but she is only 25 years old, and it is a good year, and many platforms have extended olive branches to Li Lili, including Hong Kong Jiayi TV.
Her situation in Jiayi TV is completely different from that of Shaw Brothers, she has been in Jiayi for 4 years, and many viewers have forgotten about her, only some old Shaw Brothers movies, and they are still reminding that there is such an excellent "martial arts actress" in the Hong Kong film industry.
Just when she was facing a dilemma, Leigh's TV invited her to join again, and after thinking twice, she decided to jump to Leigh's TV.
In 1982's "The Legend of the Banner Heroes", Li Lili cooperated with Dillon again, and she played "Leng Qiuping" in it, instantly pulling the audience back to ten years ago.
In fact, Li's TV still attaches great importance to Li Lili, and she also gave her a lot of big heroine scenes, but unfortunately she still failed to make a splash.
Until 1989, when Li Lili was about to be 40 years old, watching those female artists younger than herself spring up like mushrooms after a rain, she instantly panicked, looking for opportunities everywhere, and came to TVB again.
TVB obviously has more opportunities, but most of them are supporting roles, or even tricks without names. But she doesn't care, as long as there is filming, she can play any role.
Li Lili has almost acted in those classic TVB dramas, for example, in the 1996 Lu Songxian version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Li Lili played the role of "Yue Buqun"'s wife "Ning Zhongze", and her resolute face left a deep impression on the audience.
and in Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu", "Ye Erniang", who plays one of the "Four Villains", is explosive in her acting skills in the play.
In addition, whether it is a TVB costume drama or a modern drama, she can be seen, but as she gets older, there are fewer viewers who pay attention to her.
Now that she is 73 years old, she has nothing else to do with acting, of course she hopes to continue acting, but there are fewer and fewer roles suitable for her.
In fact, looking back at her acting career, the peak period was her 11 years at Shaw Brothers, and it was these 11 years that made her firm in her life, otherwise she would not insist on being an actress.
Like Li Lili, there are many Hong Kong actors who have dedicated their lives to acting, and they are actually worth remembering.
