1. Music and video dance together in the brilliant years of life
Time flies, and Lu Xiuling, who has now entered the age of antiquity, still rejoins the embrace of music. She has won the favor of the audience with her unique style in the film industry several times, and has also encountered a low point in her career.
However, after going through the vicissitudes of life, she finally lived the ideal life she longed for.
As one of the world's most famous pipa talents, she founded the International Advisory Board of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra after settling in the bustling city of Shanghai. The soulful pipa sound, like the melody of her life, ups and downs, makes people feel excited.
Looking back on the eventful years, Lu Xiuling was born in a scholarly family and showed extraordinary musical talent since she was a child. When she was only 12 years old, she showed her edge in the pipa competition and won the crown, and her graceful and quiet temperament won the appreciation of the famous martial arts novelist Qiong Yao.
At the age of 17, she once again won the first prize in the "Five Lights Award" pipa solo competition and became famous.
Aunt Qiong Yao, who has read all the ways in the world, fell in love with this petite, beautiful, swaying water chestnut flower at a glance. At her strong invitation, Lu Xiuling joined Qiong Yao's "Superstar Pictures", thus starting a brilliant film and television career.
Qiong Yao praised Lu Xiuling, calling her "Lin Qingxia's best successor", and devoted herself to training, hoping that she could inherit Lin Qingxia's image of an innocent jade girl.
As a result, Lu Xiuling's music and film and television careers began to blend closely, and together they composed the main theme of her life. She made her debut on the big screen at the age of 18 and participated in the movie "Gathering and Dispersing", successfully shaping He Panyun's beauty all the time, with autumn-like eyes shining brightly, and she became famous in one fell swoop when she first set foot in the film industry.
The following year, she starred in many films such as "Dream Clothes" and "But in My Heart", successfully played a number of roles, and her career climbed to the peak.
Second, the short but brilliant career peak
With Qiong Yao's full support and careful cultivation, Lu Xiuling ushered in a golden period of her career. Qiong Yao not only praised her as "Lin Qingxia's best successor", but also let her star in seven consecutive romantic literary films in just three years, successfully shaping many roles.
19-year-old Lu Xiuling and Zhong Zhentao co-starred in their debut film "Gathering and Dispersing". In the film, she is dressed in 32 gorgeous outfits and 22 pairs of delicate shoes, and her cloud-like beauty is intoxicating.
Her affectionate eyes are as clear and moving as autumn water, which made her famous in Taiwan overnight and became a dream goddess in the hearts of countless boys and girls.
In that year, Lu Xiuling showed strong enthusiasm for work, and co-starred with Qin Han and Zhong Zhentao in the movie "Dream Clothes", and successfully created two sisters with very different personalities with excellent acting skills.
Film critics spoke highly of her, praising her as "like a piece of pure and immaculate jade, beautiful and transparent, radiating a warm glow from the depths of her heart."
In the same year, Lu Xiuling also co-starred with Liu Wenzheng and Yun Zhongyue in a number of popular films, such as "But on the Heart", "Ask the Sun", "Cloud and Stay", etc., these works made her widely popular and famous in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait.
Time flies, 20-year-old Lu Xiuling was fortunate to co-star with Lin Qingxia in the last work of Qiong Yao's drama "Burn, Firebird!" 》。 The plot setting of this work is bold and innovative, and the role of the younger sister played by Lu Xiuling in it not only successfully won the heart of her sister's boyfriend Liu Wenzheng, but also made her new boyfriend Yun Zhongyue have subtle emotional entanglements with her.
Such a role arrangement is undoubtedly intentional by Qiong Yao. In her eyes, Lu Xiuling is "the only beauty who can be compared to Lin Qingxia", and only she is competent to snatch her boyfriend from her sister.
Facts have proved that Lu Xiuling successfully performed this complex emotional entanglement.
During that period, Lu Xiuling's acting career reached an unprecedented peak. In 1983, she ranked fifth in the "Silver World" Top Ten Stars selection, surpassing Hu Huizhong, Zhao Yazhi and many other powerful actors, and became another well-known "Joan girl" after Lin Qingxia.
This beautiful, gentle and intellectual beauty quickly became popular in Taiwan.
However, the trick of fate always comes so suddenly. Just when her career was booming, Lu Xiuling's life trajectory had undergone a huge change. In 1983, Qiong Yao Pictures encountered difficulties and was forced to close its doors.
Having lost this fertile soil, Lu Xiuling resolutely chose to go to Hong Kong in order to seek greater development space.
When she first arrived in Hong Kong, the first film Lu Xiuling participated in was "The Demon Fetus", which had a poor reputation, and suffered a setback at the beginning. In order to achieve transformation, Lu Xiuling even cut off her signature long hair and appeared in a capable and handsome short hair style.
Although the short hair style still can't hide her beautiful demeanor, that kind of pitiful literary temperament makes it difficult to adapt and accept the new environment of Hong Kong.
After hardships and troubles, Lu Xiuling faced the most serious challenges of her career. In 1984, when she and Wan Ziliang co-starred in the movie "Walking Artillery", the bathtub scene that was originally planned to appear for only 10 seconds was hyped up by the unscrupulous producer as a big event! A photo of Lu Xiuling dressed in white was maliciously used as a publicity stunt, accompanied by a naked text description: "Gently untie the coat of innocence and voluntarily show off her delicate body."
How could Lu Xiuling, who has always maintained a noble image, endure such an insult? She resolutely refused to participate in any promotional activities for the film, and made a public statement that she would never be reduced to a so-called "star".
In this way, this newcomer who has just set foot in the Hong Kong entertainment industry has a serious disagreement with Shaw Brothers, indicating that her acting career in this place will be full of ups and downs, and there are even rumors that she once took the initiative to pursue Jackie Chan, but was blocked by Lin Fengjiao, but I am skeptical of such rumors.
Fourth, gone forever
After suffering a series of setbacks in Hong Kong, Annette Lu once again made a choice that made people feel helpless. In 1986, when she was only 24 years old, she co-starred with Lin Ruiyang and Li Zongsheng in the movie "Heart Lock".
This film boldly depicts an indecent love affair between an uncle and sister-in-law, and Lu Xiuling made her first naked appearance on the screen, trying to use this as an opportunity to regain her strength.
However, for a "Joan girl" who has long since made a name for herself, this path is clearly not suitable. Lu Xiuling should have calmed down, precipitated herself, and patiently waited for the opportunity to come, instead of being so eager and easily embarked on the road of naked performance.
For a talented woman like her, this is undoubtedly an act of "losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds".
As expected, "Heart Lock" was completely banned in Taiwan as soon as it was released, and Lu Xiuling not only paid the price of reputational damage, but also gained nothing. Since then, her acting career has fallen into a complete slump, and she has not even won a major award, and can only rely on participating in comedy, kung fu films, Japanese films and other genres to make ends meet.
In 1993, Lu Xiuling won the "Best Actress" award at the 4th Shanghai Film Critics Awards for her outstanding performance in the movie "Yunnan Story", which was not only the only time she won the award in her life, but also one of her few excellent works.
However, the most beautiful memories of childhood did not make Lu Xiuling, who first entered the entertainment industry, instantly brilliant. In fact, in the early days of her involvement in the film industry, she co-starred with the big-name star Andy Lau in the action film "Hurricane City" with a Douban score of 8.0 points, although this work was later respected by many audiences as Andy Lau's representative work, but it is a pity that the film did not receive an enthusiastic response as expected in the premiere stage at that time.
In the face of such a difficult and difficult situation, Lu Xiuling did not choose to give up, but in 1994, at the age of 32, she resolutely announced her retirement from the film industry, and since then, she has been insulated from this halo-filled stage for eight years.
Once, she was known as "Girl Joan" and was regarded as Lin Qingxia's successor, however, after ten years in the entertainment industry, she failed to continue that glory after all, but gradually drifted away.
However, fate does not seem to have completely abandoned this talented woman. When she was 36 years old, she finally found her own happy home and married the musical genius Xie Aiwen, who matched her heart.
A graduate of the world-renowned Juilliard School, Ivan Shea, a musical genius from a prominent family, is one of the best in the music industry as he is proficient in the violin.
The talent of Lu Xiuling, the "Pipa Fairy", and Xie Aiwen's musical attainments are a match made in heaven. In the warm family of this loving couple, whenever the rainy days come, they will always perform the touching pipa music and violin concerto together, and compose the most beautiful music in the world together.
After marriage, Lu Xiuling lived a quiet and peaceful life under the careful care of her husband. As a woman with a successful career, she once put in a lot of effort for her career, and even underwent ovarian surgery for work reasons, resulting in inability to have children.
However, Xie Aiwen can always perceive the emotional fluctuations in her heart, and do her best to spoil this gentle and lovely wife.
And Lu Xiuling also repaid her husband's affection in her own unique way. She will carefully prepare a variety of delicious dishes to surprise Xie Aiwen. Their lives are full of laughter and laughter, and their feelings for each other are incomparable.
Even in the last years of Lu Xiuling's mother's life, they were still happily waiting by the sickbed.
After the death of their mother, the loving couple decided to settle in their mother's hometown, Shanghai, and began to enjoy that leisurely life. Today, Lu Xiuling has founded the International Advisory Board of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, re-devoting herself to the music career she loves, and continues to write her musical life.
She is still the "Pipa Fairy", but now she no longer just plays for herself, but dedicates her beautiful melodies to more people.
The journey of life is like a roller coaster of ups and downs, although Ms. Lu Xiuling has suffered the baptism and trauma of the years in the journey of life, but fortunately, she has finally found a happy home.
Being in love with her bosom friend and her persistent pursuit of her beloved career have enabled her to withdraw from the tedious strife of life and enjoy a quiet and beautiful old age, which is undoubtedly the most precious gift in life!
