Lin Xilei was surprised in "Flowers": At the age of 48, she reappeared in the rivers and lakes, what do you rely on to still dominate the Quartet?

In the hit TV series "Flowers", a new female character image appeared, and it was actually 48-year-old Hong Kong star Lin Xilei.

Although she has been out of the circle for 13 years, the name of "Goddess of First Love" is not covered, so many netizens shouted in surprise: "Even the guest actors in "Flowers" are big names!"

For a long time, Lin Xilei has always given people the feeling of an angel's face and a devil's figure, and now even if she is nearly 50 years old, she still has charm and is glamorous.

As the sexy goddess that Wang Jing excavated back then, it is a pity that she left the circle early and was willing to wash her hands to make soup.

And in the years since she faded out of the entertainment industry, what kind of life has Lin Xilei lived?

1. The birth of the "Goddess of First Love".

A year before Lin Xilei retired from the circle, she also played the role of Princess Yuelu in Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang's new film "Laughing Rivers and Lakes".

Although the cooperation between the two sides seems a bit inconsistent, her beauty and sexiness are still like a sharp sword that can be inserted into the hearts of the audience.

Although she has debuted for many years and has not been able to become the "top stream" in the world like Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung, Lin Xilei's development has a strong personal color:

She is a "goddess of first love" who combines sexiness and innocence, and her private life is also low-key and mysterious, although she is called a "wealthy harvester" by the Hong Kong media, but in essence, this is not the case: her emotional outlook is conservative and traditional.

Lin Xilei was born in Taiwan in 1975, and was taken by her parents to live in the United States at the age of 10, during which she always had good grades and obtained a double degree in economics and literature when she was in college.

Although she is not a big beauty in the traditional sense, she has an outstanding temperament, and when she returned to Taiwan, she was discovered by a talent scout and invited to participate in the shooting of an advertisement.

In 1994, Lin Xilei starred in her first work "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" and stepped into the entertainment industry.

However, her development was not smooth at first, although the film appointments continued, but the works she acted in were never out of the circle.

During this period, Lin Xilei got acquainted with the actor Wu Dawei, who was 9 years older than herself, because both of them had the experience of living and studying in the United States, so they had a lot of common topics.

Although she was pursued by many wealthy businessmen at that time, she still threw herself into the arms of David Wu, who had not yet become popular.

It's just that the relationship between the two didn't last long, and it ended because the man liked to drink, and it was rumored that the reason for their breakup, and Wu Dawei didn't like Lin Xilei's "sexy" personality to the outside world.

In 1998, 23-year-old Lin Xilei encountered the opportunity to become popular.

At a private party, she was taken by director Wang Jing at a glance, at that time, the other party had been in the Hong Kong circle for more than ten years, and had brought out many "crystal girls" such as Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen, and Lin Xilei naturally became the next one.

The two hit it off, and the following year they collaborated on the movie "Gambler vs. Las Vegas", playing the role of A Bian in the film.

This role undoubtedly established Lin Xilei's performance style, and also made her a sparkling "sexy goddess".

Especially when they subsequently collaborated non-stop on the movie "King of a Thousand Kings 2000", and also played the sexy and beautiful role of "First Love" in the film, and since then they have the title of "Goddess of First Love".

In fact, Shu Qi was discovered by Wang Jing along with Lin Xilei at that time, and the latter soon became famous for filming the Fengyue film "Jade Putuan: The Jade Girl's Heart Sutra".

Wang Jing also began to take the same route for Lin Xilei's packaging, so she also acted in "Uniform Temptation 2" with the same theme, and her career ushered in its peak.

Especially in 2001, she also co-starred with Shu Qi in "Stunning Thief", and the friendship between the two has also deepened in cooperation, and until now, they are still very good friends.

2. "Gossip Queen" is very single-minded

After that, Lin Xilei embarked on the fast track to fame, and the object of cooperation also achieved a coffee position leapfrog, and the team of works starred in became stronger and stronger:

For example, "The Legend of Shu Mountain" starring Ekin Cheng, "Dark War 2" starring Liu Qingyun and so on.

At that stage, she was the most shining "stunner in the world" - although she was not yet 30 years old, she was always playing a mature female image because of her appearance, but she was not a complete vase, and she still had a hint of literary atmosphere.

Therefore, "Bole" Wang Jing also praised in a high-profile manner:

"Lin Xilei has the widest range of plays, sexy, literary and personal, and can take the route!"

It is also because of this that she once attracted the attention of many wealthy businessmen, and it is said that Lin Jianyue, Ma Weichen and other bigwigs have fanatically pursued her, and the Hong Kong media even gave her the title of "Rich Harvester".

But she doesn't seem to care about this, and usually stays at home when she doesn't have a job, which is very different from the feeling she looks like on the outside.

In addition to wealthy businessmen, Lin Xilei also had an affair with the "male god" Wu Yanzu because of his appearance in the movie "Changing Face and Love", and the media felt that the two had a close relationship at that time.

Because they all grew up in the United States, and they are of the same age, they are handsome men and beautiful women, and they are easy to misfire, so they were closely watched by the paparazzi at that stage.

But the two finally stopped at friendship and didn't end it.

In 2005, Lin Xilei, who had just turned 30, decided to transform, so she took over the filming of the historical documentary "Tokyo Trial".

This work is different from all her previous works:

In the film, she wears a retro shirt and long skirt and plays the image of a professional journalist.

Because of this work, Lin Xilei got acquainted with Zhu Xiaotian, who became popular with the "F4" men's group.

At that time, although Zhu Xiaotian had only debuted for 4 years, his debut was at the peak, because he played the role of Ximen in "Meteor Garden", and became the "male god" in the hearts of countless girls.

Not only that, but his peach blossom luck is also excellent, and he has had scandals with actresses such as Yang Jinhua, Rainie Yang, and Li Bingbing before.

But in Lin Xilei's eyes, he is just a "sincere big boy" who can cook, which is very in line with his ideal type.

There was a scandal during the filming of the two, but they both came forward to deny it when their careers were on the rise.

It wasn't until two years later that they were photographed spending the night in a mansion in Taipei, and forgot to draw the curtains and were photographed, and since then the truth about their relationship with each other has been revealed.

It is rumored that the man attaches great importance to this relationship, and even said in public many times after being exposed that his fiancée is Lin Xilei, and even wrote her name on the mansion.

But the woman has not let go of this, and it took another two years in an interview in mid-2009 for her to admit that her boyfriend was Zhu Xiaotian.

During this period, Lin Xilei was also photographed shopping in the supermarket with Wu Yanzu, which had a great relationship.

A few years later, Wu Yanzu married his model wife Lisa S, who broke the news in a show that he was intervened by an actress during his relationship with the man.

At that time, Taiwanese media locked the actress in Lisa's mouth to Lin Xilei.

Although Wu Yanzu still married Lisa in the future, Lin Xilei and Zhu Xiaotian regrettably broke up.

3. Peak retirement to be "Kuotai"

In 2010, the media revealed that Zhu Xiaotian and Lin Xilei had a five-year relationship, on the grounds that "they separated because they knew each other too well", and there was also a saying that the man was suspected of cheating.

In August of that year, the man posted on social platforms three times in a row: "I betrayed you because I don't know where to start......

Half a year later, Lin Xilei quickly married a businessman named Yang Chen, and it is reported that the two met again at a party and sparked - as early as 8 years ago, they had met each other under the introduction of Shu Qi.

Yang Chen is a Chinese-American, his parents went to Guangzhou to start a business in the early years, and he also created his own clothing brand "Smartthreads" after graduation, which can be regarded as a promising young talent.

His appearance is also different from that of the imagined rich businessman, and the Hong Kong media also said that he is somewhat similar to the mixed-race actor Wang Minde.

Soon, Lin Xilei decided to get married, and at that time, the media ran to ask Zhu Xiaotian, and he laughed at himself: "The groom is not me, do you want me to cry in front of the camera?"

It shows that he still has a lot of reluctance for this relationship.

But everything is in the past, Lin Xilei also gave birth to a daughter quickly after getting married, and achieved a happy ending of holding the two for three years.

At the same time, she decisively chose to fade out of the screen, and her life ushered in a new stage.

After that, she settled in Taipei with her husband, and in her spare time, she went to the gym, took her daughters to learn Xi, and occasionally had afternoon tea with friends.

Although she was rated as a "rich businessman harvester" by the outside world in her early years, Lin Xilei once said in a high-profile manner that her search for a partner has never been money:

"My criteria for choosing a mate are kindness, sincerity, honesty, being able to cook, not being raised by me, and being higher than me. And he doesn't have to be very rich, because I have the ability to take care of myself, and I like to get along with each other. ”

In the years since she faded out, she has not had no opportunities, and people often ask her to come back, and even the smash hit variety show "Sister Lang" has proposed to invite her out of the mountain.

But Lin Xilei always politely refused: "I can't sing and dance, and I don't have that courage." ”

It can be seen that after going through Vanity Fair, Lin Xilei is still living a sober and free life - she has enjoyed all the attention, but she has finally found a lifestyle that suits her.

It wasn't until last year that she returned to the public's field of vision because of her participation in the TV series "At This Moment".

Especially when she appeared in a promotional event with her friend Lin Xinru of the same age, she was 47 years old, and she was quite capable of playing both in terms of state and appearance, so she was spicy comments by netizens: Her temperament is so stubborn, and she doesn't feel like she has changed much.

In this work, she also gave an amazing performance, and staged an indecent "girl-girl love" with Ruby Lin, which shows that she often takes an unusual path.

Now in Wong Kar-wai's TV series "Flowers", she has made a cameo appearance in the role of the very charming Mrs. Lin, even if it is Xin Zhilei, who is nearly 10 years younger than herself, she can still catch the audience's attention.

In the upcoming Spring Festival movie "Mr. Red Carpet", Lin Xilei will cooperate with Andy Lau again to play a couple, but she does not have many scenes, and it should only be a cameo.

Maybe she will soon return to her own life and leave the audience with a beautiful North Shadow.

But that's enough, after all, family is more important to her.
