Preface
The encounters of life are like a drama of mixed joy and sorrow, sometimes God gives us flowers and applause, and sometimes let us taste the merciless tricks of fate.
When the glorious goddess on the screen of the past stepped into her twilight years, did the traces left by the years also appear on her?
How is Ye Tong, who once made thousands of viewers fall in love with him, now?
Young and ignorant, he has just entered the film industry
Step back in time and take us back to 1980.
That year, a girl named Ye Tong stepped into the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
At that time, she was still a young girl who was not deeply involved in the world, and she was full of longing and yearning for her acting career.
By chance, she participated in the shooting of an advertisement.
On the set, Ye Tong got acquainted with Chen Guoxi, who was 9 years older than him.
At that time, Chen Guoxi was already an assistant director of an advertising agency and was well-informed.
In the face of this young and ignorant girl, he felt very cordial and took good care of her during the filming.
Ye Tong's upbringing is destined to make her eager to be cared for.
Her father's absence left a gap in her heart.
The mature and steady Chen Guoxi just fills this gap.
Soon, the two established a romantic relationship.
In this way, with a longing for his career and a yearning for love, Ye Tong took the first step to chase his dreams.
Tan Jiaming appreciated, and "Youth on Fire" came to the fore
However, it is not easy to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
Ye Tong knows that it is not enough to be enthusiastic, she needs an opportunity and a stage where she can shine.
In 1982, the opportunity finally came.
The famous director Tan Jiaming was preparing to shoot a new work "Youth on Fire", and under the recommendation of Chen Guoxi, he met Ye Tong.
The young Ye Tong left a deep impression on Director Tan.
Although she is still young, Director Tan firmly believes that this girl has a special charm that is enough to control the heroine of the film.
As a result, Ye Tong was able to cooperate with actor Leslie Cheung and starred in this youth love movie.
To everyone's surprise, she not only interpreted the role perfectly, but also played against Leslie Cheung without timidity, conquering the film superstar in one fell swoop.
The release of "Youth on Fire" allowed Ye Tong to win the love of the audience and the recognition of the industry.
She was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and she was in the limelight for a while.
People know that another rare genius has been born in the film industry.
Reverse string Xu Xian, "The Legend of the New White Lady" is a masterpiece
If "Youth on Fire" made Ye Tong stand out, then "The Legend of the New White Lady" in 1993 made her completely god and became one of the top lines in the film industry.
Surprisingly, Ye Tong played the role of the male protagonist Xu Xian in the play.
An actress playing a male role was undoubtedly a risky move at the time.
But when "The Legend of the New White Lady" was broadcast, Ye Tong's performance conquered everyone.
is different from the previous image of Xu Xian, the "Brother Xu Xian" created by Ye Tong is smart and free, and he is more like a pair of happy enemies with the White Lady.
The rivalry between the two in the play is wonderful, and it has become a topic of conversation for the audience after dinner.
The show not only watched Changhong in Hong Kong, but also swept the mainland.
Ye Tong also reached the pinnacle of his career.
Industry insiders have commented that Ye Tong's interpretation of the role of Xu Xian has been perfected, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to surpass it.
To this day, "after Ye Tong, there is no more Xu Xian" is still a recognized fact.
This drama has set up a monument for Ye Tong's acting career.
The man behind the push is fueling
As the saying goes, behind a successful man there is a woman.
But in the same way, how can a successful woman not have a man behind her silent support?
For Ye Tong, this key man is Chen Guoxi.
He is not only Ye Tong's lover, but also a solid backing for her career.
Since the two met, Chen Guoxi has used his resources in the circle to help Ye Tong get acquainted with many well-known directors such as Tan Jiaming and strive for more opportunities for her.
Just imagine, if Chen Guoxi had not been drawn from it, Ye Tong might have missed the cooperation with Tan Jiaming, and there would have been no success of "Youth on Fire" later.
Similarly, without Chen Guoxi paving the way for her behind her back, Ye Tong would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in the film industry so smoothly.
Of course, the most important thing about Ye Tong's achievements is her own excellent acting skills and unremitting efforts.
If a person does not have real skills, no matter how much external force boosts, it is impossible to go far.
But it is undeniable that Chen Guoxi has laid a solid foundation for the take-off of Ye Tong's career.
It is with his support behind him that Ye Tong can reach the peak step by step.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Guoxi is a noble man in Ye Tong's career.
But for Ye Tong, he is even more of his emotional dependence.
In that era of male superiority and inferiority, it was a kind of luck to have a man who wholeheartedly supported his career.
Perhaps, Chen Guoxi's greatest love for Ye Tong is to fulfill her dream and let her shine on the screen.
Married life is now cracked
However, no matter how perfect love is, it is difficult to withstand the test of real life.
As Ye Tong's career is booming, there are cracks in her marriage with Chen Guoxi.
As a hot actress in the entertainment industry, Ye Tong rarely has scandals with other male stars.
She devoted herself to her career and devoted a lot of energy to her family.
However, Chen Guoxi, as her husband, did not give Ye Tong the care she deserved.
On the contrary, it is Chen Guoxi's affair that has repeatedly made headlines in the media.
He once kissed actress Anya on the street, and was also photographed having an ambiguous relationship with Anita Mui's assistant.
There are various indications that Chen Guoxi has not fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband in marriage.
According to incomplete statistics, Chen Guoxi's cheating in marriage was exposed by the media as many as 8 times, but he never showed a trace of guilt towards his wife.
What he did undoubtedly cast a shadow on Ye Tong's beloved heart.
A woman who was once full of longing for love is struggling in the quagmire of marriage.
Faced with her husband's betrayal again and again, Ye Tong chose to forbear.
She did not speak out publicly, nor did she have a showdown with Chen Guoxi.
Is it despair of love, or does it not want children to experience the pain of their parents' divorce again?
Or is it just because he is used to making compromises? Outsiders don't know, and Ye Tong has never expressed his opinion on this.
But judging from her increasingly haggard face and full head of gray hair, the wound in her heart has long been difficult to heal.
The once high-spirited goddess of the screen, under the weight of family life, seems to have faded forever from her former glory.
Time passes, and the face is old
Recently, 61-year-old Ye Tong participated in the recording of a variety show.
The once glorious superstar is now gray and no longer glorious.
On the same stage as 71-year-old Zhao Yazhi, Ye Tong's old appearance made countless viewers sigh.
Over the years, this ruthless pig-killing knife still left a notch on Ye Tong's face after all.
Once upon a time, she was also the goddess of the screen who was in the limelight, glamorous and incomprehensible.
But the passage of time has made the former superstar have to face the cruelty of aging.
In fact, Ye Tong's vicissitudes may be related to her unhappy married life.
Years of repression and destruction finally destroyed this woman's youth and beauty.
In front of the camera, although she is still glamorous, in private, she has already cried all her tears.
However, Ye Tong never declared the pain in his heart.
She chose to continue to shine on the screen, interpreting one classic role after another with superb acting skills.
Perhaps, work has become all the sustenance of her life.
Only when performing, Ye Tong can temporarily forget the troubles of reality and enjoy a moment of pleasure.
Now, when Ye Tong appears in the public eye again, she is no longer the dazzling goddess.
The years and the polishing of life have made the former superstars have to face the ruthlessness of time.
But even though his face is old, Ye Tong's love for acting has never changed.
In her own way, she interprets the character and soul of a true artist.
epilogue
Ye Tong was once the goddess of the screen in the minds of countless people, and she conquered the audience with her charm and talent.
However, no matter how dazzling the star is, he cannot escape the ravages of time.
Today's Ye Tong is no longer the style of the past, but the touching she once brought to us will never fade.
Perhaps, Ye Tong's life is like a movie with ups and downs.
There were flowers and applause, but also sadness and tears.
But no matter what kind of hardships she went through, she always lived strong and interpreted life in her own way.
This is Ye Tong - a legendary woman who will always deserve our applause.
