In 1971, Zhang Che, the director of "Golden Swallow", joked to the famous martial arts actress Zheng Peipei:
"You are so fierce, if you continue to shoot, no man will want you."
Zheng Peipeiru was drunk with a stick.
Although her career is in full swing, the traditional Zheng Peipei is eager to form a warm family.
Three years later, Zheng Peipei announced her withdrawal from the film industry and married a man who always "contradicted" her.
She thought that this man was "different", but she did not want to, it was this man who took her into a "black marriage", which not only made her a "rich womb", but also led to the desolate wandering of the second half of her life.
01
In 1946, Zheng Peipei was born in Shanghai to a wealthy family.
However, because of some of his father's previous experiences, their family was beaten into a "composition family", and his father Jiang Xuecheng was sent to be transformed.
Since the age of 6, Zheng Peipei has never seen her father again, and her mother has grown up with 4 children.
Fortunately, their family once had shares in the ink factory, so they could survive on dividends.
When she was 8 years old, Zheng Peipei was sent by her mother to study ballet. But before long, my mother decided to leave Shanghai and go to Hong Kong to earn a living.
When she left, her mother only took 3 younger siblings with her, leaving the young Zheng Peipei to live with the nanny. It was not until she was 15 years old that her mother picked up Zheng Peipei.
However, for this experience of separation, Zheng Peipei has no complaints, because she understands the hardships and difficulties of a mother.
After settling in Hong Kong, with her dance skills, Cheng PeiPei was admitted to the Southern Experimental Theatre Troupe, and later joined Shaw Films.
In 1963, Zheng Peipei played the male protagonist Liu Yanchang in the movie "Baolian Lantern". Prior to that, she had also played Cowherd in "Cowherd Weaver Girl".
Because of her cool and heroic appearance, she attracted the attention of director Hu Jinquan.
Hu Jinquan was about to make a martial arts movie featuring the heroine "Golden Swallow", and Zheng Peipei's rigid and soft figure made him very satisfied.
Once, hu Jinquan and a group of friends were drunk, and it was Zheng Peipei who carried him from one end of Nathan Road to the other for a taxi.
Afterwards, he felt that Zheng Peipei had a chivalrous spirit, so he officially invited Zheng Peipei to star in the movie "The Drunken Man", with her playing the heroine "Golden Swallow".
This was The first play in Zheng Peipei's life, but she completed it very successfully.
She has a deep foundation in dance, and uses "force" very rhythmically, and the wine altar, folding fan, bench, bamboo chopsticks, etc. are her weapons.
Under the director's arrangement, a martial arts drama with equal emphasis on beauty and mechanics is now in front of the audience, and this film has also become the pioneering work of "China's new martial arts film".
After the explosion of "Drunken Man", Shaw launched the movie "Golden Swallow" while it was hot. The following year, she filmed the film "Yu Luosha".
Zheng Peipei's name of "beating women" is completely out, and she was also awarded the title of "Martial Arts Film Queen" for her role as a heroine.
02
At that time, Zheng Peipei was only in his early 20s, which was the golden period of career development.
But in 1971, she unexpectedly and quickly quit the circle to get married and left for the United States.
But this marriage not only did not give her a "happy ending", but let her half-life, suffered all grievances, and became a "rich fertility machine"——
Zheng Peipei and her husband met by chance.
At that time, Zheng Mama was playing mahjong at the agent's house of Shaw Films, and because she lost money, she called Zheng Peipei to send money.
It is this experience of sending money that allows Zheng Peipei to know the agent's son- the original text.
At that time, Zheng Peipei was young and beautiful, and there was no shortage of suitors around.
But The original text is a "different" person, because he always "contradicts" Zheng Peipei -
The delicate Zheng Peipei deliberately said "Today's moon is square", and other men catered to her, only the original text said "The moon is round, where is the square?" ”
Zheng Peipei said that she likes to drink Coke, and other men have bought her Coke, but the original text is incomprehensible and said, "Drinking Coke is not good for the body." ”
At that time, Zheng Peipei felt that this kind of person was too interesting.
So when the original text of the day said to her, "Let's go and register for marriage", Zheng Peipei agreed without hesitation in order to show his "courage".
Mother Zheng felt that this marriage was too dramatic and persuaded Zheng Peipei to be cautious. However, Zheng Peipei insisted on marrying into the original family and becoming a rich daughter-in-law.
03
On the first day of marriage, the husband's family gave the new daughter-in-law a "fertility task":
"Three generations of the original family, you want to give birth to a son to the original family!"
The traditional Zheng Peipei is also deeply impressed.
But she did not expect that her "giant womb" road would be so difficult.
Zheng Peipei's first child was a daughter, and as a result, when she got to the second child, she was a daughter again.
At this time, the face of the in-laws has completely changed, and the look in Zheng Peipei's eyes is becoming more and more dissatisfied.
Zheng Peipei was under a lot of pressure, and she was worried that the "incense" of the original family would be cut off here, so she took various medicines to supplement her body.
In addition to giving birth to children for the original family, she also has to take care of the life of the original family - her husband, in-laws, and even her sister-in-law have to arrange for her.
The husband of the eldest young master's personality is a hand-throwing treasurer, he does not even have to move his own hands, and he is very proud to show in front of his friends:
"I was sitting on the fridge and she (Zheng Peipei) was pushing me."
Zheng Peipei was originally a fertile physique, and in the years of marrying into the original family, she became pregnant 8 times, of which 4 were unfortunately miscarried.
It can be said that Zheng Peipei's daily life is either pregnant or working for the family.
It wasn't until the end that she finally gave birth to a son.
After giving birth to this son, Zheng Peipei finally felt relieved, and she felt that she no longer "owed" anything to the original family.
And she did not want to live such a life again, coupled with the relationship with her husband, so Zheng Peipei eventually divorced The original text.
04
When Zheng Peipei announced the divorce, almost no one in the Chinese area believed it - it was hard to give birth to a son, why not wait for the "daughter-in-law to become a wife"?
But Zheng Peipei did take this step, but she also withstood great pressure, because she had no financial resources.
During that time, Zheng Peipei's hair fell off one by one, and she needed to wear a wig to maintain her dignity when going out.
Fortunately, at the time of the poorest hardship, Zheng Peipei was fortunate to meet the Nebula Master. Master Nebula relieved her of her troubles and made her heart cheerful.
She had also thought about shaving her head and becoming a monk, but it was Master Nebula who persuaded her to practice on her behalf.
In 1992, Zheng Peipei, who was trapped by the economy, announced his comeback.
But at this time, the film industry is renewed, and no one is willing to buy the account of this "martial arts film queen".
Just when she was most embarrassed, it was a comedy genius who found Zheng Peipei and solved her urgent needs.
He is The Star Master- Zhou Xingchi.
Zhou Xingchi found Zheng Peipei to star in "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", originally wanted her to be responsible for the "martial arts" part, but Zhou Xingchi did not expect that in addition to the martial arts drama, Zheng Peipei's comedic effect was also so sufficient -
At that time, Zhou Xingchi was famous for his "nonsense", but not all actresses could let go, such as actress Gong Li, who was somewhat uncomfortable.
As a result, "Lady Hua" Zheng Peipei is very "talented", whether it is "exploding head" or "smiling half-step epilepsy", she has been vividly interpreted.
Relying on the nervous and strong martial arts "Lady Hua", Zheng Peipei once again opened the market, and the drama continued.
In 2001, director Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Zheng Peipei played the vicious and devious "blue-eyed fox" of martial arts.
This film allowed "martial arts queen" Zheng Peipei to reproduce her martial arts skills, she was brilliant in literary drama, martial arts was dashing, and successfully won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress with "Blue Eyed Fox" and won the opportunity to compete for the Oscar.
In 2004, Zheng Peipei began to cooperate with Tang Dynasty Films, shooting two excellent TV series" "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" and "Yangmen Female General".
Her images of "Grandmother" and "She Taijun" are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have become the "childhood memories" of many mainland audiences.
In 2018, she also participated in the Disney movie "Mulan".
The audience is not surprised to appear in such a star-studded, international blockbuster film.
Because of the "drama age" has been 55 years, Zheng Peipei, whether it is seniority or acting skills, is worthy of this movie.
05
Today's Zheng Peipei is 75 years old, but when she appeared in front of us, she did not feel old at all.
Maybe her role is too distinct, or maybe her mentality is very young, and she is still the neurotic and funny "Lady Hua" in the hearts of the audience.
Zheng Peipei, who has experienced an unhappy marriage and a turbulent half of her life, still remains optimistic.
"Because I'm old, I only need 2 yuan by bus, and I'm half priced to watch a movie, so I'm very happy."
This is Zheng Peipei, a tough, independent, peaceful woman.
Although her face is old, she is still charming and chivalrous.
May the future of Zheng Peipei get better and better, and can continue to exude her own charm on the big screen.
