Text | Mi Li's mother
Carina Lau, a well-known social cow in the entertainment industry, recently received a reality show about celebrity play interviews, called "Jia Ren's Self-Friend".
Carina Lau was the host in it, driving a cool luxury car (endorsed by Tony Leung) with the top Hong Kong goddess guests in her childhood, eating and playing in the Greater Bay Area, and chatting about gossip by the way.
The coffee positions of these stars are very online, Zhu Yin, Ye Tong, Li Ruotong, Mok Wenwei, Zheng Yuling...... Any one of them is a heavyweight.
This is really Carina Lau, when I think of her rich attributes, I know that she will definitely be able to have a good time with these top performers in the ancient Hong Kong circle.
And in fact, the painting style of the Hong Kong stars chatting is very down-to-earth, very real, and it looks good if it is not pretended at all.
There is a part of inviting Yang Caini, Carina Lau and Yang Caini complained about Wong Kar-wai, and they really wanted to laugh Mi Li's mother to death.
The two recalled the experience of filming "East Evil and West Poison", Carina Lau said that Wong Kar-wai persecuted them. Everyone in that film hardly wore makeup, and Wong Kar-wai's reasoning was that it was impossible for people who had lived in the desert for a long time to think of wearing makeup.
And every actor who thinks he has good acting skills has to NG more than 20 times under Wong Kar-wai's lens, and in the end he will doubt:
"Can I act?"
In fact, Wong Kar-wai just wants everyone's faith to collapse and self-doubt, and the state he wants will be right, so everyone is photographed doubting life.
This show was even rated by netizens as: Wong Kar Wai Victims Alliance.
Yang Caini has been out of the entertainment industry for a long time, and at the age of 49, she is in such a good state facing the camera, and her appearance is really strong. As a jade girl in the Hong Kong circle, Yang Caini's experience is also legendary.
A woman who was chased by Takeshi Kaneshiro and Wu Qilong at the same time
In that star-studded era in Hong Kong, Yang Caini was really not the most brilliant in Mi Li's mother's impression.
Because Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Zhong Chuhong, and Lin Qingxia were all in their heyday, everyone's acting skills and appearance were both online, and Yang Caini could only rely on the image of a jade girl to occupy a place in it.
In fact, at that time, all the directors were very optimistic about her, and her resources were also so good that they exploded.
As the only daughter of a solid family, she went to the United States to study at the age of 15, and returned to Hong Kong at the age of 18 to be discovered by talent scouts.
The first job was to shoot jewelry advertisements with Aaron Kwok, one of the four kings who were popular at that time. Her superior appearance made her quickly become the new favorite of the advertising industry, and she was directly discovered by Wong Kar-wai, who was preparing to shoot "East Evil and West Poison".
At that time, Wong Kar-wai was pacing back and forth in front of her wearing sunglasses, walking over and looking her up and down, and she was not stage frightened at all. Wong Kar-wai immediately made a decision to let her participate, and she became the only newcomer in this movie.
Playing with Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Leslie Cheung, and Leung Jiahui, Yang Caini actually has no sense of disconnection at all.
Brother Leslie Cheung completely spoils her as a daughter, not only getting up early to sparring the script, but also always calling her when eating. When the media interviewed, he also specially asked the media to take more care of her.
With so many heavyweight predecessors paving the way, how can Yang Caini's resources be bad? In the next "Fallen Angel", Wong Kar-wai continued to look for her to play Takeshi Kaneshiro's first love, and Takeshi Kaneshiro's first kiss on the screen was with Yang Caini.
This is not the end, Wang Jing asked her to play Zhang Weijian's sweetheart, Tsui Hark asked her to play Zhu Yingtai in "Liang Zhu", and it was also in Tsui Hark's two movies that she partnered with Wu Qilong twice and won the popular screen CP at that time.
At this time, Takeshi Kaneshiro was openly jealous and said:
"It is said that she is more compatible with Wu Qilong, obviously I am compatible with her, am I not worthy of her?"
"She and Wu Qilong are really good, but no matter how good they are, they don't want to be okay with me!"
That's Takeshi Kaneshiro! The nationally recognized male god is directly jealous of her.
And the talk show at that time was also very interesting, obviously Takeshi Kaneshiro cared about her very much, but he couldn't let go of the coldness of being a male god, so that Yang Caini felt that he was too dragged and not easy to touch.
In fact, he felt that Yang Caini ignored him, so he concluded that the other party must not like him, so he became very dragged.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and the two played several more scenes, and the gossip of Wu Qilong and Takeshi Kaneshiro chasing Yang Caini spread widely, but she never responded positively.
She is busy filming, releasing records, and writing beauty columns. Seeing that this little girl is working hard for her career, and the two male gods are chasing her, she doesn't even look at it, she should be a sober career brain.
But no one expected that after only 5 years of debut, her resources exploded, and she cooperated with top directors and actors, but she directly announced her retirement from the circle at the good age of 23, on the grounds that she wanted to get married when she fell in love.
From a girl in the film industry to an old man
Who is so capable of impressing the heart of the jade girl, making her give up such a good development prospect and withdraw from the circle directly?
It turned out that Yang Caini chose Qiu Shaozhi, an outsider lawyer who was four years older than her. This man must be full of emotional value, so that he can give a 23-year-old girl such a beautiful love fantasy.
In 1997, Yang Caini directly withdrew from the circle and opened Starz Image image consulting company with Qiu Shaozhi in Hong Kong and Malaysia, but it ended miserably within a few years.
Later, she partnered with Yuan Yuyi to open an entertainment production company, but in 2002, due to poor management, the company lost money again and again. Either the supplier was owed money or the employee was in arrears, and the employee and the supplier joined forces to collect the debt, which also alarmed the police.
A female star with good resources and a promising future has become an old man just because she fell in love with a man.
In the face of debt collection, Qiu Shaozhi adopted a roundabout tactic, dodging, not responding, don't ask, ask is: sooner or later, it will be repaid.
In the end, Yang Caini came forward and held a press conference with her boyfriend, the company applied for auction, and even the house in Hong Kong was sold to pay off the debt, and she owed 8 million foreign debts.
However, in 6 years, not to mention all the money, there are also foreign debts, and Yang Caini's financial burden is suddenly like a thousand pounds, which makes her breathless.
It didn't take long for Yang Caini to move back to her parents' house, Qiu Shaozhi returned to Singapore to avoid the limelight, and the two of them seemed to have discussed, the man disappeared, the woman came back, and at this most difficult time, her father's cancer recurred.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Qiu Shaozhi seemed to come with wind and rain, making a mess of Yang Caini's life, and then hiding his traces.
Later, the media checked Qiu Shaozhi's details and found that he was not only good at eating soft rice, but also good at packaging himself.
The so-called lawyer's profession, I later found out that I didn't even have a lawyer's license, saying that I was a rich second generation, and my father was just an ordinary office worker.
Of course, Yang Caini is sad, and to pay off her debts, the only way out is to make a comeback, and then make money and repay the money on her own.
She is really naturally suitable for eating this bowl of rice, and as soon as she makes a comeback, Jackie Chan invited her to shoot "New Police Story", Tsui Hark invited her to shoot "Seven Swords", and Andy Lau invited her to shoot "I Love You Again".
At that time, she was 30 years old, and the changes in life and feelings made her grow up overnight, she said, I am only 30 years old, I can afford to lose.
The choice after nirvana
Everyone's growth is accompanied by labor pains. When her father's cancer, her partner's escape, and the hardships of her comeback were all pressed down, Yang Caini also thought about suicide.
But what doesn't defeat you will eventually make you stronger. All the difficulties and injuries have become the indestructible armor that she will wear in the future.
Fortunately, Yang Caini was lucky. The Hong Kong entertainment industry has not forgotten her, and her former friends and directors all know that she was deceived, and life is not easy when she encounters difficulties, and they are willing to pull her along.
Her plays are about one after another, almost all of them are heroines.
In 2013, she wrote and directed the sexual assault movie "Christmas Rose", all her friends in the circle came to help, Tsui Hark supervised the production, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Zhen, Gui Lunmei starring.
As soon as the film came out, the audience responded continuously, and she returned to the peak of her career as a director.
The phoenix is nirvana, reborn from the ashes. Yang Caini took a detour, and in the end, she had to rely on herself to reopen the situation.
Seeing that his career is getting better and better, his life is gradually getting on the right track. Just like the rise of her career at the age of 23, she broke out another jaw-dropping decision: she and Qiu Shaozhi got back together and were ready to get married.
So many people on the whole network watched how she suffered along the way, and so many friends in the circle also helped her step by step to get to where she is today.
Such a decision, who sees it, can't scold: love brain!
But Yang Caini doesn't care so much, she knows her heart best. What if it's not a person? I just like it, anyway, I've already gained a firm foothold, and if I fall 10,000 times, I still have to go to my heart again.
She soon officially announced her marriage, and after 20 years of going around and around, the person she chose was still her first love Qiu Shaozhi.
Later, when twin sons were born, Yang Caini gave up her acting career again, almost faded out of the entertainment industry, and concentrated on accompanying her two children to grow up.
Maybe she is working so hard in her career, although her acting talent is first-class, everyone who sees it thinks she is a seedling and wants to help. But the life she really yearns for is the model of husband and child.
Otherwise, she would not have repeatedly given up everything, choosing to go to her loved ones and devote herself to such a form of life.
After retiring from the circle, she made bento boxes for the children and enjoyed the fun of being a housewife. Occasionally, she has a small gathering with friends in the circle, and Stefanie Sun, Gigi Leung, and Li Xinjie are all her good sisters.
She is well-connected and popular, but she is obsessed with her own little life. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and everyone is pursuing what they think is happiness.
The wedding with Qiu Shaozhi was held in Singapore. Qiu Shaozhi is a Singaporean, Yang Caini's relatives and friends are coming from Hong Kong, she is the only daughter in the family, her father is unable to go to the scene to see his daughter get married due to health reasons, but she also has to accommodate her husband's location. It is enough to see her accommodation to her husband.
Qiu Shaozhi said at the wedding that she was an angel, indeed, what people have paid for him, he actually knows better than anyone else in his heart.
It is said that the cost of the wedding was also borne by Yang Caini. How the debts owed by the two people were paid off, you can know by looking at how desperate Yang Caini worked to come back in those years.
As for Qiu Shaozhi, he is definitely a top master of providing emotional value. can firmly grasp the heart of the goddess for 20 years, and can also make money for him, giving birth to two lovely children.
Yang Caini chose the path she thought was right, and now it seems that she is doing well. After all, the state does not deceive, and at the age of 49, he is still in such a full state, and the perception is really good.
Along the way, she is giving, and the generation of jade girls who used to be as gorgeous as a rainbow in the film industry, and then quietly disappeared, has gradually been forgotten.
But she has her own ideas, as she said in an interview:
"Whether it's a lot of sacrifice depends on how you see the value of things, and what many people want is not necessarily what I want. ”
"Although there are some things that I can't control or don't go as I want, my own thoughts and my own heart are up to me. ”
Presumably she chose the life model she wanted to choose the most, and she had no regrets. The standard of happiness is inherently opinionated, and within her value framework, she is really happy.
