In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, authenticity is an attitude, a unique pursuit of beauty. They don't pursue excessive beautification, do not rely on filters and beautification, but show the real side to the audience. This kind of truth is not only a challenge to the image of the star, but also a test of the audience's aesthetics. At the 42nd Academy Awards, we witnessed real moments that were more vivid and powerful than any well-choreographed script. Louis Koo's "toad face", Anita Yuen's laughter, and Sammi Cheng's moment on stage are all silently telling: On this stage where light and shadow are intertwined, everyone is the protagonist of their own story, no need for filters, no need for disguise.
On the day of the award ceremony, when Yang Ying appeared in a haute couture dress, she encountered a great challenge. Under the ruthless lens of the Hong Kong media, her clothes looked ill-fitting, and the nasolabial folds and exhaustion on her face were obvious.
This scene is undoubtedly shocking for audiences who are accustomed to her glamorous image in the mainland entertainment industry. Yang Ying's appearance seems to tell us that even the brightest stars have their vulnerabilities and insecurities.
Yang Ying's journey to the Academy Awards is full of hardships and challenges. She prepared two dresses, one white and one black, each of which she carefully selected in the hope of leaving her mark on the red carpet.
However, the reality was cruel, the ill-fitting white dress made her figure look less perfect, and the black dress could not hide the exhaustion on her face. As much as she tried to keep smiling in front of the camera, that glow radiating from the inside out was gone.
In an interview with Hong Kong media, Yang Ying's sunken face and deep nasolabial folds made people feel the traces left by the years on her face. Her facial features also seem to have become more prominent due to the loss of collagen. Such a Yang Ying makes us feel that the years are unforgiving, even celebrities cannot escape the laws of nature.
However, compared to the photos sent by Yang Ying's studio, it is completely different. In these retouched pictures, Yang Ying is still the beautiful and moving goddess. Her skin was fair, and her face was stunningly beautiful, as if all her tiredness and blemishes had disappeared.
Such a comparison makes us wonder, what does the real Yang Ying look like?
In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, truth is a kind of courage, a kind of courage to face one's imperfections. Yang Ying's experience may be seen as a kind of growth. She needs to learn how to show her true side without the protection of beauty filters. This is not only a challenge to myself, but also a kind of respect for the audience.
The authenticity of the Hong Kong entertainment industry is a unique pursuit of beauty. It allows us to see the other side of the star, and it also makes us think about the relationship between truth and beauty. For Yang Ying, the experience of this Academy Awards may be a revelation, which will make her face herself more bravely and show her truest self on her future acting career. And for us viewers, maybe we should learn to appreciate this authenticity, because that's what life is meant to be.
