Gillian who caused controversy with her rumored girlfriend: It was originally a heaven to reward food, why did it become a matter of relying on feelings to attract attention?
Recently, because of spending Valentine's Day with the female Internet celebrity Huangfu Shenghua, Gillian ushered in a wave of new attention.
However, the public is obviously quite confused by her suspected relationship - the "scandal" between the two has a long history, and they were photographed kissing on the street as early as June last year.
In particular, Huangfu Shenghua is still somewhat similar to Edison Chen, which makes this relationship seem confusing and seems to be reasonable.
And the 43-year-old Gillian is very intriguing in it - after all, in the hearts of many fans, she is the "white moonlight" who is appreciated by heaven and eats, and the last generation of "jade girl" brought to the public in the Hong Kong circle......
And if you dig deep into the whole journey she has gone all the way, you will find that all of this has traces to follow.
1. A girl with low self-esteem breaks into the entertainment industry
Gillian was born in 1981 in an ordinary family in Hong Kong, but her father died unexpectedly when she was more than 1 year old, resulting in a turbulent childhood.
When Zhong's mother was only 19 years old, she couldn't afford the life of the mother and daughter, so she had to remarry.
Gillian was fostered in various relatives' homes, and during her kindergarten years, she had to transfer schools frequently because she "had no fixed residence", so she lacked a sense of security at a young age and was very inferior.
At the age of 12, her mother remarried, and Gillian lacked maternal love even more, but she was stubborn by nature, and she never intervened in her mother's new home again, but wandered alone.
Because of her beauty, she began to work and study part-time to work as a part-time model when she grew up, so she was selected by the emperor at the age of 19 and met the lively and playful "sister" Ah Sa.
In 2001, after completing enough training, they formed the group "Twins" and made their debut.
During this period, the two girls met Edison Chen, an artist who is also the emperor, but the relationship between the two and him is diametrically opposed.
Many years later, Gillian's career fell to the bottom due to the Yanzhao incident with Edison Chen, and Ah Sa publicly said in an interview that he was not familiar with him.
In fact, a year before her debut, 19-year-old Gillian had begun to secretly fall in love with Edison Chen.
The following year, she became popular overnight after her debut, and the man was asked about her in an interview and was joked by the other party.
Edison Chen, who is 1 year older than Gillian, is the son of a wealthy man, and his father Chen Zemin is a well-known wealthy businessman and is also very well-connected in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, when he debuted in 2000, his first movie was "SWAT New Human 2" directed by Chen Musheng, and he played the leading role.
On the other hand, despite the emergence of popular singers such as Stefanie Sun, Jay Chou, and S.H.E, Twins still gained attention when they debuted, and the following year they became a hit at that time with the song "Love is Bigger".
At that time, everyone liked this pair of pure and energetic sisters, especially Gillian's appearance, which was rated as amazing by the outside world, even among many female artists.
At this time, Lai Hongguo, who was also born in 1989, and Huangfu Shenghua are both small transparent who have not yet "debuted".
The former was born in a well-off family in Taiwan, and his mother was a doctor, which later laid the foundation for him to become a plastic surgeon.
The latter was born in a wealthy family in Shanghai, it is said that his grandfather was a famous entrepreneur, and his grandmother was also worth a lot of money, so Huangfu Shenghua is a typical "rich third generation".
It's just that they were too young at the time, and they didn't know that their future lives would be "entangled" with the Hong Kong female artist Gillian.
2. Gifted and innumerable
Although Gillian has an average family background and has not received professional acting training, she is extremely talented, and it can be said that she "appreciates food from God".
Soon after her debut, she and her partner Ah Sa entered the film and television industry, especially in 2004, when she was nominated for the Golden Bauhinia Award for "Best Actress" for the feature film "Princess Revenge".
Although compared with the cheerful and likable Ah Sa, the introverted and sensitive Gillian does not seem to be so good in terms of popularity with passers-by, but the public still recognizes this beautiful "sister next door".
In addition to film and television, the two sisters also continued to come up with popular songs, such as "Trainee Eros" and "Next Stop Diva", etc., and gradually gained a firm foothold in the pop music scene.
However, during this period, Gillian was also known as the new generation of "Gossip Queen" because of her scandals with male artists such as Yu Wenle, Huang Younan, and Wu Kequn.
In 2002, she met Yu Wenle, whose career was also on the rise, because of the filming of "A Sugar Cane", and the man was quite attentive to her, and once pursued it hard, often giving small gifts and creating small surprises to make her happy.
However, due to the fact that Gillian's official underground boyfriend at that time was Edison Chen, Yu Wenle's pursuit reached his ears, and it was rumored that two men also turned their faces and fought because of this.
As a result, her relationship with Edison Chen cracked in 2003, briefly broke up, and later got back together, and ended completely in 2005.
And after that, Gillian "sparked" with Jackie Chan's son Fang Zuming, new actor Fang Lishen and others because of their cooperation.
Although she also relied on scandals to dominate the headlines of the entertainment edition at that time, Gillian's dedication did not pull her hips at all:
In addition to music and film and television, announcements such as variety shows, advertisements, and concerts are constantly emerging, and constantly brushing their faces has also made them a new generation of idols.
In particular, Gillian's development is obviously more outstanding - she began to transform into a "beating girl" in 2005, and successively came out with new films such as "Jingwu Family" and "Worm Doesn't Know".
The following year, she joined the crew of the TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and played the role of Cheng Lingsu, a "jade girl" with a good personality.
This role has established her later character to a certain extent: she has also become the last generation of "jade girls" in the Hong Kong circle.
In private, Gillian has never slackened her pursuit of love:
She fell into a "pentagonal love" with actor Nie Yuan because of the filming of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and couldn't extricate herself;
Immediately, it was revealed that he was suspected of falling in love with Lin Xiaoxian, the eldest son of a wealthy businessman Lin Jianyue, and had a "situation" with Gu Dingming, the son of a wealthy businessman worth 1.5 billion.
But in a circle, it seems that the actor Mai Junlong, who was born as a rich son, almost became her "real son" - the two were rumored to be in a relationship because of the filming of the movie "Broken Things".
What's even more intriguing is that this work gathers three "rumored boyfriends" Edison Chen, Yue Wenle and Mak Junlong - even if this episode is placed now, it will cause a sensation......
3. Bravely chasing love, but repeatedly "overturning"?
2008 can be said to be a year that changed Gillian's life.
On January 5, she also took a photo with Fang Lishen at a charity performance, and the gossip media still reported on the scandalous couple happily.
And just 21 days later, Edison Chen's computer loss caused the "Yan Zhaomen" to completely break out.
This incident not only made his predecessor Gillian fall from a "jade girl" to a "dang woman", but also made Cecilia Cheung and other married actresses fall into a catastrophe.
At that time, Gillian had just finished filming Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang", but it was cut off.
In the face of reporters, she became the first female artist to come forward to respond to the public, and the sentence "very stupid and naïve" was full of bitterness, and it also broke the public's previous filters on her.
But Gillian also had a "careless" male partner by her side at that time - Mai Junlong once came forward to promise that he was willing to blow up 100 million yuan to buy the remaining 14-year contract between her and the emperor.
The two also had a relationship for a while at that time, but in the end they inevitably broke up.
In the same year, her future rumored girlfriend Huangfu Shenghua also made her debut - it is reported that she studied in Qingdao in her early years, and was later admitted to the Beijing Modern Music Academy to study Korean dance.
Later, Huangfu Shenghua inadvertently uploaded a photo of himself dressed in hip-hop to the Internet, attracting the attention of the outside world, and also won the label of "female version of Edison Chen".
On her 19th birthday, she signed a high-profile contract with Beijing Flying Raindrops and officially entered the music scene.
Gillian made an official comeback in 2009 and released a solo EP, and also starred in the movie "Qiandu" with a good response, but it seems that she has no way to inherit the previous peak.
Two years later, she won the Huading Award for "Best Actress in the Legendary Category" for the TV series "The Legend of Nuwa", but her popularity was not as good as before.
On the other side, Huangfu Shenghua is thriving in the Internet celebrity circle, and has also appeared on talk shows, made digital movies, and released personal singles during this period, but none of them are popular.
However, she became the first generation of Internet celebrities in MCC Celebrity Pavilion, and like other Internet celebrities, she ran her own trendy brand store.
It is rumored on the Internet that his worth was once as high as 4000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
However, there are many so-called popular people, and Huangfu Shenghua was also exposed by many netizens after the "swagger", saying that when she was studying in Qingdao before, she was a very ordinary little girl who was engaged in sports, "suspected of plastic surgery".
The whistleblower also said that Huangfu Shenghua's father actually opened an Internet café in Shanghai, and his family background did not have the 4 billion exposed on the Internet.
And Gillian's side is still continuing all kinds of scandals, and even her agent Huo Wenxi reluctantly said:
"I will advise Gillian not to be too enthusiastic about the opposite sex, to restrain herself, and not to cause misunderstandings."
Later, she finally stabilized and had a relationship with Korean-American Kwon Ning, but broke up after only 10 months.
After that, Gillian "stopped" for a long time, and her "The Secret History of Wu Zetian" was shortlisted for the Huading Award for Best Actress, but her popularity was average.
Her resources are still online, and she has appeared in film works such as "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic" and "Beijing 81 No. 2".
At the stage when Gillian's emotional world is dull, Huangfu Shenghua and his Internet celebrity girlfriend Xu Wen of the same age are harvesting a large number of CP fans.
It is reported that the woman's family is good, and the two often attract the attention of netizens because of their affection together.
However, in 2013, Huangfu Shenghua suddenly had an affair with actress Guo Biting, and Guo praised her for "looking like Edison Chen".
This move directly provoked Xu Wen to post an angry post: "I'll quit, you play slowly", suspected of connotating the other half of the flower, and also took off the other party in a fit of anger.
But the two didn't really break up at that time, and with the failure of Huangfu Shenghua and Guo Biting, they got back together.
In 2015, Myolie Wu got married, and she also took her girlfriend to the scene to bless her.
But a few years later, Huangfu Shenghua had an affair with actress Li Ruixi again.
At that time, the two were photographed on a yacht dating, and Li Ruixi's English name Nikki was written on it, so it was regarded by the outside world as a gift specially prepared for her by the other party.
In the same year, Gillian married Taiwanese aesthetic doctor Lai Hongguo, which attracted the attention of countless netizens.
But this is not the man's first marriage, he had a brief marriage with Zhao Xiaowei, who looks like Ariel Lin, two years ago.
And Lai Hongguo and Gillian's marriage lasted less than three years before falling apart.
After that, she was on the hot search again for three days and two days because of talking about "feelings", one would say that she would not love, and the other would say that she would not get married again......
Until June last year, he was photographed kissing his face on the street with the female Internet celebrity Huangfu Shenghua, who was 8 years younger than him, and the scandal was exposed again.
At that time, everyone thought that the two might just be slightly drunk, or maybe it was just the intimacy between friends, but no one expected that they would celebrate Valentine's Day together in a high-profile manner more than half a year later.
Before this, Gillian had clarified the relationship between the two, saying that they were "just friends".
But the attitude of netizens is: It is impossible for T to be so intimate with a female friend that he is not in love......
Some people also said, "So what? Just be happy!"
Maybe that's the case, throughout Gillian's 23 years in the entertainment industry, she has experienced what she should get and what she should lose, and now what she needs more is really only happiness.
It's just that looking back at her extremely talented art path, I still can't help but feel a pity.
