At the beginning of 2024, Maggie Cheung, who has not appeared for a long time, rarely appeared, and at the age of 59, she still maintains a tall figure and has become the focus of attention for a while.
Perhaps because she didn't want to be too public, Maggie Cheung was wearing a mask and a black hat that day, but she was still recognized by sharp-eyed netizens.
Maggie Cheung's beauty was once recognized as the title of "national goddess", and relying on her peerless beauty, all the uncles who went up to star directors and went down to the vegetable market to buy vegetables became Maggie Cheung's fans.
Her acting skills are also the "ceiling" among Chinese actresses, and she has won the Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes International Film Festival, and only Maggie Cheung is the actress who can win two awards at the same time. However, why did he suddenly announce that he wanted to quit the film and television industry at the age of 40?
Now a photo has exposed the "real situation" of Maggie Cheung's life, which has "disappeared" for a long time.......
Art Basel
On March 30, 2024, Art Basel was held in Hong Kong as scheduled, and many industry bigwigs and well-known stars appeared at the art exhibition.
There was a person in the crowd who was wearing a blue plaid shirt, a mask and a black peaked cap, although she was dressed very low-key, she was still recognized by sharp-eyed netizens, she was a former generation of actresses: Maggie Cheung!
Maggie Cheung, who has been "disappeared" for a long time, rarely appeared at Art Basel, which caused a lot of discussion among netizens for a while. According to the photos taken by netizens, it can be seen that Maggie Cheung is 1.73 meters tall, but there is no flesh on her body, and her whole figure is like a piece of cardboard, which is simply skinny.
And Maggie Cheung appeared at the art exhibition without makeup this time, without makeup, her complexion was yellow and pale, she used to be able to charm thousands of men with one look, and now her eyes also reveal many traces of time.
She appeared without makeup, showing the other side of the star, but the temperament of the whole person is still so calm, even if it is very tightly blocked, but the aura of the former generation of actresses is still shrouded in her!
Now Maggie Cheung is 59 years old, but when she returned to Hong Kong to see the art exhibition this time, she was still alone, which obviously proves that Maggie Cheung is still single and unaccompanied. Looking at Maggie Cheung with such vicissitudes of life, it can't help but make netizens feel distressed.
However, the majority of netizens are also extremely curious, Maggie Cheung was once unmatched among domestic actresses, why has she lived "so down" since she retired?
Maggie Cheung's path to fame
Maggie Cheung was once known as one of the "Four Beauties of Hong Kong", relying on her peerless beauty, countless men indulged in Maggie Cheung's pomegranate skirt. Leslie Cheung once talked about Maggie Cheung in an interview, "When a person can no longer have it, the only thing he can do is to make himself not forget." ”
Maggie Cheung was born in Hong Kong, mainland China in 1964, her father is a rich second generation, living a worry-free life since she was a child, and her father sent Maggie Cheung to London to go to school when she was a child. Maggie Cheung didn't return to Hong Kong until she became an adult.
After Maggie Cheung was sent abroad by her father since she was a child, her mother also went abroad with Maggie Cheung and took care of Maggie Cheung's life abroad.
Maggie Cheung was very naturally beautiful when she was a child, she was a beauty embryo from birth, and the whole person was very fresh and lively, just like the kind of clean that came out of the mud without staining.
However, Maggie Cheung, who has not been accompanied by her father since she was a child, has exercised a very independent and self-reliant character abroad, and after she returned to China at the age of 18, the first thing she did was to participate in the "Sister Hong Kong Model" competition, and finally at the age of 18, she participated for the first time, and won the second place in the model contest with her youthful and beautiful image and perfect sexy body!
Her debut after returning to China also paved the way for her to successfully enter the film and television industry.
Maggie Cheung relied on the ranking of "Miss Hong Kong Runner-up" and successfully let more people in Hong Kong know her. For a while, many directors in the film and television industry threw olive branches to Maggie Cheung, but at that time, 18-year-old Maggie Cheung had not studied acting, let alone filming. However, due to his outstanding appearance, he was still scrambled by many directors to compete for this actor who could not act.
Maggie Cheung, who was packaged by the brokerage company, made her instantly popular with her anti-sky appearance, regardless of whether Maggie Cheung can act or not, but as long as Maggie Cheung starred in a movie, it was a box office hit at that time, and Maggie Cheung also became a beautiful landscape in Hong Kong films at that time.
But many people commented that Maggie Cheung only relied on her appearance to make her debut at that time, and she was a "soulless" actor.
However, with the passage of time, Maggie Cheung gradually comprehended some skills in filming, and improved a lot in performance, and then the release of "Carmen in Mong Kok" made Maggie Cheung completely get rid of the title of filming only by her looks.
After continuous practice, Maggie Cheung showed the characters vividly in the play "Carmen in Mong Kok", and even exerted her eyes to the extreme in every shot. It seems to show the audience a different beauty Maggie Cheung. Maggie Cheung also changed the outside world's judgment of her poor acting skills through this drama, and also won the honor of "Film Awards" through this drama.
After that, Maggie Cheung understood the importance of acting skills to an actor, and then Maggie Cheung seemed to have opened up the "two veins of appointment and supervision" all of a sudden, began to try different roles, and gradually transformed into a powerful actor.
After the release of "Mong Kok Carmen", Maggie Cheung played a masterpiece "Police Story".
The drama "Police Story" is a drama filmed in partnership with Jackie Chan, in which Maggie Cheung plays the role of a "little beauty", the previous scenes filmed by Maggie Cheung were all some love scenes and idol scenes, but "Police Story" needs to have a lot of martial arts scenes and sad scenes, which can't help but make Jackie Chan doubt whether Maggie Cheung can play this role well.
But after contacting Maggie Cheung, Jackie Chan found that Maggie Cheung was no longer the one who used to act by his looks, and Maggie Cheung, who took over this play, studied the characters and characteristics very hard, and often worked overtime in the dormitory at night to memorize lines and practice martial arts. In the end, "Police Story" was successfully released, and the box office was a big hit!
Through cooperation with Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung sat firmly on the "big ship" in the film and television industry, and then filmed a number of famous works, which received a particularly high response in Hong Kong films.
At the same time, Maggie Cheung has also won numerous awards, the most valuable of which are the two best actresses of "Berlin International Film" and "Cannes International Film".
Career is proud, love is frustrated
Maggie Cheung is in full swing in her career, but it is a bumpy road in love, in 1998, our goddess Maggie Cheung married French director Asayes, but because of their exotic love, the two got together less and left more, resulting in divorce.
After experiencing her first marriage, Maggie Cheung often collaborated with Tony Leung to shoot movies at that time, and often appeared together in major venues for work reasons. But in the end, it was a pity that Tony Leung married Carina Lau home. In the end, it broke up.
Later, Maggie Cheung began to enter the music industry, but it seems that because of the unsmooth relationship, the road to engaging in music was also full of twists and turns, and finally failed.
Maybe she thinks she's achieved the highest in film, maybe she's tired of life in the entertainment industry, or maybe she wants to live for herself once and makes the decision to quit the screen when she's 40 years old. Maggie Cheung's decision has made countless viewers nostalgic.
epilogue
Now 59-year-old Maggie Cheung looks very distressed about this former goddess, but Maggie Cheung's despised fame and fortune, free and easy character, worthy of admiration, and I hope that Maggie Cheung can not be afraid of the passage of time, let alone give up the yearning for a better life, and find a lifelong partner as soon as possible to spend the rest of her life together.
