Back then, Andy Lau was both angry and chilling: "You are dressed like this, have you thought about me for a second?" Chen Shaoxia smiled and asked the media to take pictures.

More than a decade later, she regretted not doing it at the beginning.

Speaking of the name Chen Shaoxia, there are very few people who can immediately remember who she is.

However, as long as she mentions any of the classic characters she has created, such as Shuang'er in Chen Xiaochun's version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and Yue Lingshan in Lu Songxian's version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

Everyone will suddenly realize: it turned out to be her.

However, the most regrettable thing is that Chen Shaoxia's original acting career with unlimited potential was self-destructed by her.

also hurt Master Andy Lau a lot.

01

When Chen Shaoxia was 16 years old, relying on her refreshing short hair and innocent smile, she was discovered by the well-known Taiwanese screenwriter Zhang Aijia and entered the film and television industry.

In 1993, Chen Shaoxia, who was only 18 years old, partnered with Tony Leung, a top-notch student, and starred in the movie "Brother's Lover" written by Zhang Aijia.

Later, she was also nominated for the Academy Awards for Best New Actor, and her starting point is not high.

With different acting talents, coupled with a pure and gentle temperament, Chen Shaoxia was caught by Andy Lau, the king of heaven, and signed her personally.

At this time, Andy was not only a senior actor and singer, but also opened a film company and been the boss for several years.

The newly recruited Chen Shaoxia is very valued by the company.

Andy usually brings her to various events to increase her exposure and enhance her fame.

Soon after, the two were upgraded from bosses and employees to masters and apprentices, and Chen Shaoxia became the most favored artist in the company.

Even, she ascended to the sky in one step and starred in the heroine of her company's movie "Heaven and Earth".

Andy plays her husband, with a number of old actors as the backing, and the ending song of the movie is "Forget the Love Water", which is still famous many years later.

To put it bluntly, this movie was tailor-made by the company for Chen Shaoxia, taking the route of a big guy leading a newcomer.

Other newcomers couldn't ask for it, but she was chased and fed.

However, Chen Shaoxia, who enjoyed the praise, gave the company a heavy blow without warning.

It turned out that when promoting the movie "Heaven and Earth", the young and rebellious Chen Shaoxia took it upon herself to dye her blonde hair, tie pigtails, and wear a see-through shirt.

The bold style of a romantic actress is very different from her usual image of a pure jade girl, and it is completely different from the heroine in the movie.

Her strong contrast caused discomfort in the audience.

It had a great negative impact on the film, making it a fiasco at the box office in the end.

What's even more criticized is that Andy's company was in a state of life and death because it couldn't make ends meet, but Chen Shaoxia had already found a home.

At the age of 20, she completely ignored the support of her master Andy Lau, the company's heavy investment in her, and the company's box office losses.

It was 1995, and Chen Shaoxia seamlessly jumped to TVB.

This down-and-down operation made the Hong Kong media scold her as a "white-eyed wolf" and "ungrateful".

Later, when Andy Lau was mentioned by the media as Chen Shaoxia, he couldn't help but sink his face, and afterwards instructed his assistant: Don't mention this person in front of me in future activities and interviews.

can leave his mentor Andy Lau and join a leading company in the industry like TVB, but Chen Shaoxia's treatment has not risen but decreased.

There are countless beauties here and fierce competition, and all she can receive are supporting roles such as the second female and the third female:

In 1996, Yue Lingshan, the little sister in "Smiling Proud Jianghu";

In 1997, Li Xiaohuan in "Miao Cuihua";

In 1998, Shuang'er in "The Story of Deer and Ding";

In 2000, the spider Yin Li in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and so on.

Fortunately, even if she switched from movies to TV series, Chen Shaoxia also performed with ease.

Although she only plays one or two supporting actresses in TV series every year, she has portrayed her roles extremely well, which is not only loved by the audience, but also recognized by the media as a "gold medal supporting actor".

In the long run, Chen Shaoxia will definitely become an old actor in the future, and she will eventually have a place in the film and television industry.

However, in 2000, 24-year-old Chen Shaoxia married a wealthy Australian-Chinese businessman, retired from the circle for him, and went to Australia to live the life of Mrs. Kuo.

As everyone knows, she completely left her job, and only 6 or 7 years later, she experienced the nightmare of her husband's bankruptcy and debt.

Even though Chen Shaoxia gave up all her net worth to help her husband, it was a pity that she was a drop in the bucket and had no power to return to the sky, and the two finally ended in divorce.

Forced to make a living, Chen Shaoxia, who was in her 30s, returned to Hong Kong, but was rejected by TVB.

As a last resort, Chen Shaoxia also tried new jobs such as real estate consultants, selling jewelry, and selling insurance, but she had no experience and all of them were gone.

When the economy was at its most difficult, Chen Shaoxia had to take her two daughters to live in a public rental house in Hong Kong and live on relief.

Chen Shaoxia, who was extremely down, finally signed a contract with ATV and recorded a variety show, but she had to rely on revealing clothing to get ahead.

At this time, Chen Shaoxia couldn't help but sigh that being an artist was far from being as easy as before.

At that moment, she missed her very much, she was led by her mentor Andy Lau in the past, and she had an unlimited future, and she could also be a "golden supporting role" and be respected in the future.

Time can't be turned back, and it's too late to know the preciousness when you lose it.

No matter how much she regretted not being at the beginning, Chen Shaoxia had to continue to crawl around in variety shows, or occasionally go to the mainland to make money.

Until 2016, 39-year-old Chen Shaoxia remarried and was worth 800 million yuan, and the man was 19 years older than her and had 2 daughters.

Chen Shaoxia faded out of the entertainment industry again, and after 3 years of marriage, she gave birth to 1 daughter with hardship.

It is rumored that the man hopes to have a son, so there may be news of her pregnancy and childbirth on the Internet in the future.

Chen Shaoxia is already a "high-end version" that ordinary women can't want.

She has good looks, acting skills, and high income, but she completely gave up her ability and opportunity to earn money after marriage.

However, as soon as her husband had an accident or her marriage failed, she wanted to be self-reliant, and she was walking on thin ice and preparing for hardships.

In fact, none of us can pin all our hopes for a good life on our partners.

It would just be a big gamble, and how many winners will there be?

Transparent people will not narrow their path, they seize the opportunity to work and make money.

Even if some people are still caught up in chores of housework, they can continue to improve themselves and figure out what side hustle to make money.

In short, people who can make money at any time can have the confidence to say no in marriage, and they can share the wind and rain with their partners and protect the stability of the family when accidents come.
