The well-known Shaw Brothers actress Chu Xiangyun used to be glamorous and popular, and was also called a "glamorous beauty" by the well-known director Li Hanxiang, but Chu Xingyun retired from the circle very early, and she had faded out in the early 80s. Unexpectedly, she had been hidden for decades, and suddenly held a birthday banquet in Hong Kong to celebrate her 69th birthday.
Of course, because Chu Xiangyun was active in the 70s and 80s, most of the friends who corresponded with her were old, and many of them were former Shaw Brothers artists, such as Wen Xueer, Chen Guantai, Liu Yong, Fang Yihua's cousin Huang Jiaxi, etc. Among them, Hui Yinghong really rarely showed her face. Wang Manling said that Hui Yinghong rushed back to Hong Kong from Beijing in order to attend Chu Xiangyun's birthday banquet, and she had to rush back to work after staying for a day. In addition, Chen Guantai also made a special trip back to Hong Kong from Huizhou Film and Television City to attend the birthday banquet. It can be seen that Chu Xiangyun is very popular, and everyone gives her face to celebrate her birthday.
In addition to these celebrities who are still working, there are also many celebrities who have retired but are still active in the social circle, such as Shao Yinyin and Huang Xiahui. Shao Yinyin and Huang Xiahui can be called the most eye-catching actresses at this birthday banquet, they are as distinct as ever in their dressing style, 93-year-old Huang Xiahui appeared in a dress that showed her arms, although she was older, her style was very bold, and she didn't mind showing her arms and showing her real state of life. And 73-year-old Shao Yinyin took off his coat when he took a group photo, and directly showed himself in a dark red vest inlaid with sequins, and wore a dark red headband on his head, plus a gold necklace around his neck, this dress is really golden.
However, the birthday star Chu Xiangyun's dress that day was low-key, wearing only a white blazer with a black undershirt with black lines, without a very exaggerated dress, becoming the most dignified, decent, and article one in the audience. Chu Xiangyun is 69 years old, and the traces of time are already very obvious, but she doesn't look obvious, her face is slightly rounded, and it is not unrecognizable, the important thing is that she can still feel the gorgeous style of the past, coupled with proper maintenance and good spirit, it is even more outstanding. It is also worth mentioning that Chu Xiangyun held a birthday banquet to entertain friends, which can be said to be not stingy, and prepared all kinds of drinks on the spot for the guests to drink all at once, and the guests were also very face-saving, really full of food and drink.
Chu Xiangyun and Shao Yinyin
Chu Xiangyun used to be one of the most popular actresses of Shaw Brothers in the 70s, but she used to take the route of a star, which is related to her external image. Chu Xiangyun was a big beauty when she was young, her kind of beauty was cold and noble, because of her charming temperament and tall figure, she quickly stood out. In fact, Chu Xiangyun first debuted in a beauty contest, participated in the Miss Hong Kong election in 1973 and won the fifth place, and the following year participated in another beauty contest and won the championship, and then began to sing in nightclubs and became an advertising model. In 1978, she joined the Shaw Brothers work, and became popular with her cold and glamorous image, and was called "Yan Guang Beauty" by Li Hanxiang.
Interestingly, although Chu Xiangyun took the route of a star, she never filmed off scenes, this is her bottom line, and the movies that the outside world saw were actually replaced by stand-ins at that time, and they were synthesized through the technology of transferring flowers and trees, so she did not go into battle herself, and this did not affect everyone's love for her. Chu Xiangyun retired after completing the movie "Brain Demon" in 1983, and made a brief comeback in the early 90s, making cameo appearances in movies and TV series, among which "Silver Fox" and "King of Drama" filmed on ATV are the most well-known, but soon Chu Xiangyun retired again, and this time he retired and never came back.
After Chu Xiangyun faded out again in the 90s, he started a love and married life. After making a comeback in the 90s, she met director Liang Xinquan, who had directed "Beauty Scheming" and "The Princess of the World", in 1994, and the two started a relationship, but they did not get married quickly, and they have been in love for 17 years before they officially became husband and wife. She was 56 years old when she got married, so she and her husband had no children. After retiring in the 90s, Chu Xiangyun returned to a dull life, this is what she pursues and yearns for, the so-called plain is true, plain is a blessing, which she can really experience over the years, especially after marriage, it is rare to hold a birthday banquet, presumably not only to celebrate, but also to get together with former friends.
