Do you still remember Hu Yongmei in "The Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full That Year"?
In the costume drama "Cherish the Flowers", which was launched in April this year, she played the role of Xia Jin'e and returned to the public eye again.
No matter how big the span is, no matter what genre you like, there must be her in your favorite treasure series.
She is Myolie Wu.
But for a long time, people's impression of her has long stayed in four words: dirty and ugly.
The "Last Hong Kong Sister" of the 20th Century
Myolie Wu's name is very special, and it sounds a kind of cuteness.
I thought that this name should have been a collection of thousands of pets when I was a child.
Unexpectedly, at the age of 7, just sensible, Myolie Wu's parents divorced.
Unlike ordinary parents who divorced, Hu's mother had a new lover and directly abandoned her and her two sisters.
And Myolie Wu didn't always enjoy her father's love, because she was soon sent to study in Northern Ireland.
Myolie Wu's father, a police officer, chose Northern Ireland, where prices were lower, because children of public servants were entitled to an expatriation allowance.
This place has long been a matter of historical ownership, and from time to time local conflicts erupt.
Fortunately, Myolie Wu has had tenacity since she was a child.
Although the skies in Northern Ireland are always foggy, there is a big difference between them and hot Hong Kong.
Myolie Wu is still trying to integrate into life there, practicing fluent English while successfully passing the threshold of many universities in the UK.
However, the family could no longer afford it.
In 1998, she returned to Hong Kong to take the HKCEE, which is equivalent to the domestic college entrance examination, and won the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in one fell swoop. At the turn of the millennium, it is still the pride of the sky to be admitted to university, let alone the world's 40th ranked HKUST.
Before entering the next century, Myolie Wu's life quietly changed.
In 1999, Myolie Wu, who had just entered school for a year, happened to accompany a friend to participate in the Miss Hong Kong selection.
Beauty is like a cloud, and a strong hand is like a forest.
Myolie Wu "coincidentally" won the third runner-up of Miss Hong Kong and became a double Hong Kong sister.
Many people commented that Myolie Wu could win this award, and gave a four-word evaluation of "mistake".
even, "gave" the title of "the ugliest Hong Kong sister" to Myolie Wu.
debuted as Sister Hong Kong, which seems to be lucky, but when you learn about Myolie Wu's acting experience in the future, you will find that her difference does not come from her appearance.
Tragic love
The 8-year relationship with Huang Zongze has always been the focus of heated discussions in the media.
Myolie Wu's first love is a foreign boy with a very delicate mind. She once said that her first love healed her.
It's just that later because of differences in career direction, they didn't come together.
At the age of 25, Myolie Wu and a new TVB student served as the hero and heroine in the drama "My Savage Mother-in-law".
This new student is 13 months younger than her and will always take the initiative to take care of her;
also creates some small surprises for her from time to time.
is different from Myolie Wu's status as a "top student";
Huang Zongze failed to be admitted to university and was discovered by talent scouts before entering the entertainment film and television industry.
Huang Zongze's appearance is indeed difficult for most girls to refuse, and on the surface, he is ruffian and handsome.
Whether it is the "courteous" attitude towards Myolie Wu at the beginning, or the eight-year relationship between the two, Huang Zongze must have feelings for Myolie Wu.
But the scum of the scumbag is not in the heart, but in the action.
While coaxing Myolie Wu to do her laundry and cook, she was ambiguous with other women.
At that time, everyone thought that Myolie Wu was not worthy of Huang Zongze.
She has always relied on herself, and it is precisely because of herself that she chooses to forgive Huang Zongze again and again;
Huang Zongze is like a child who hasn't grown up and hasn't played enough in her eyes, and she looks forward to one day, when he is tired of playing, he will return to her, tease her like before, and beg her for forgiveness.
For 5 years, she has been working hard to film, and her career has progressed by leaps and bounds.
In 2011, at the awards ceremony, a flood of applause poured in from all directions;
The magnesium lights flickered frequently, and in front of her was a crowd of people who were constantly taking pictures of her;
She mustered up the courage to disclose their relationship in front of the media.
Huang Zongze, from beginning to end, may have had a sincere heart for Myolie Wu, a strong sunflower, but he is too "generous".
There were so many flowers in the garden that Myolie Wu was tired.
In 2013, she finally recognized the facts and pulled out of this quagmire in time to officially announce their breakup.
Some people say that if you don't meet the right person, it will naturally end when it's time to end.
Thanks to Huang Zongze for his "grace not to marry", otherwise, Myolie Wu may face a lot of chicken feathers after marriage.
Later, someone in the variety show asked Huang Zongze what he thought of Myolie Wu's current relationship, and he said that he hoped that the other party could be truly happy.
When someone in the family waited, he didn't care, and when that person left, his scandal gradually faded.
And Huang Zongze finally missed the person who was willing to wait for him.
Thorns
Unlike Myolie Wu in her love life, who is always insecure, she has always dared to think and dare to break through in her career.
After being elected Miss Hong Kong in 1999, Myolie Wu naturally joined the Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB).
TVB is also known as Hong Kong's "star-making factory", cultivating and producing many classic film and television works and excellent actors.
For example, the famous Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, Louis Koo, Charmaine Sheh, Tang Cuiwen, etc., with their excellent acting skills and deep-rooted roles, they have become the memories of a generation.
But the roles that 20-year-old Myolie Wu just started playing were all inconspicuous without exception;
In order to seize the opportunity, she is even a "dirty and ugly" professional.
Kim Sun-in in "The Golden Years" is an intellectually defective character that few people are willing to play, but in order to play something more like, she also went to a mental hospital to figure out the role.
In 2007, the role of He Meitian in "The Fat House" once again filled the shock directly.
For the role, if you say that you will gain weight, you will gain weight, and all kinds of high-calorie foods will be added every day, and when other Hua Dan refused to play such an image, she had no idol baggage.
The crew is often very busy filming, there is no morning or evening, she has worked more than 20 hours a day for a week, getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning and sleeping at "27 o'clock" at night.
At that time, the crew jokingly called 3 o'clock in the morning "27 o'clock".
Many years later, Myolie Wu commented on herself that she was a very proactive person who seized opportunities.
In 2005, she ushered in her first heroine, the Hong Kong drama "My Savage Mother-in-law".
The spicy and arrogant daughter-in-law Tian Li, the classic bridge of a strong woman and a man.
Myolie Wu and comedy are very moderate, and her quirky and brutal image immediately made her popular all over the streets.
TVB's year of fighting was in the 80s and 90s of the last century, and the TV series and variety shows produced were fought by the whole god, and the ratings reached their peak in the whole of China and even the whole of Asia.
Although there are many predecessors and brilliant achievements, in fact, since the beginning of the millennium, that is, the moment Myolie Wu stepped into TVB, its influence is not as good as before.
While TVB has overcome all the obstacles and won various post-TV awards, Myolie Wu's eyes have begun to look at the mainland.
In 2009, she got the opportunity to film the role of Lu Yu in "Beauty Scheming", and the drama quickly became popular the following year.
In 2017 "The Flowers Bloomed That Year", Myolie Wu performed the sad and hateful role of Hu Yongmei with her solid acting skills, which caused heated public discussions.
For a long time, as an actor, Myolie Wu has been very "open-minded" in her career.
"I wish Li Xingfu well"
In 2015, Myolie Wu met Li Chengde by chance.
He grew up in the UK, and the experience of studying abroad has shortened the distance between the two, and Lee never beats around the bush.
Since the first time they met, Myolie Wu fell in love at first sight, Li often sent text messages to Myolie Wu and chatted with her about future plans, trivial, but full of sincerity.
Everyone thought that this was another "Huang Zongze", and he was ready to "watch a good show".
Unexpectedly, at the 36th birthday banquet, Li Chengde carefully prepared and proposed to Myolie Wu.
In the face of the media's comments questioning the "sugar daddy", Myolie Wu did not show weakness and married with 30 million real estate.
On the wedding day, Li Chengde took Myolie Wu back to his hometown in rural Hong Kong;
The diamond ring was designed by him himself;
On the invitation, there are four big words "I wish Li Xingfu" carefully arranged by him.
For Myolie Wu, she is willing to bear the pressure of exposing herself by the media;
Myolie Wu gave birth to a child for him, and he called Myolie Wu "queen" at the beginning of his official announcement.
In front of him, she became a child again, and she could always be herself.
Lu Yu once interviewed Myolie Wu about whether she would have an argument with her husband about being a mother and being an actor;
Myolie Wu replied that never, because Lee was very supportive of her work;
And I never thought about giving up my acting career because I became a mother.
is so harmonious, netizens shouted "jealousy".
Because of the lack of maternal love since childhood, Myolie Wu was worried that she would not be able to handle a good relationship with her mother-in-law.
But she herself thinks about the other party before expecting her mother-in-law's "good". The mother-in-law couldn't help but be impressed by her.
Comparing heart to heart is a precious trait of Myolie Wu, just like her sincerity and dedication in acting.
Under her intentions, her mother-in-law became a mother, treating her daughter-in-law more dearly than her son;
The daughter-in-law was not allowed to eat the overnight dishes, saying that she would leave them for her son.
Myolie Wu always said that she is very lucky, people's mentality produces energy, and so does language.
Looking back at Myolie Wu's emotional experience, the deepest impression is that she never said a bad word about her ex.
Even a flowery boyfriend like Huang Zongze.
epilogue
Sometimes, people are just amazing, and different or even diametrically opposed traits can appear in a person at the same time, but all of these add up to form a unique life experience for each person.
After 8 years of infatuation and fruitlessness, she finally proved to the world that she can also be happy. What do you think?
