In the 1980s and 1990s, the Hong Kong film industry was in the ascendant, and the "off-star culture" was once popular.
Shu Qi, who has successfully transformed, Ye Zilin, who loves to breathe shadows, and Qiu Shuzhen, who married into the rich, are all among the best.
However, often walking by the river, where there are not wet shoes, there are only a few lucky people, and the unfortunate people are the majority, and Zheng Yanli is one of them.
Zheng Yanli, who was born as a jade girl, was favored by Liang Chaowei and was praised by TVB; but she went astray and took over the "Wind moon film" to ruin her acting career.
Coveting a shortcut to success, she falls in love with the wanderer Huang Renzhong, but soon after, she goes to the west of the crane. Helpless and destitute, she returned to her hometown and was forced by her biological mother to almost jump off the building.
Zheng Yanli, who is now 49 years old, can only survive by working part-time in old age.
"It was too young, and everyone had crazy times when they were young." Speaking of the past, Zheng Yanli's words are full of sadness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > cleverness is mistaken for cleverness</h1>
In the winter of 1972, Cheng Yanli was born into an ordinary family in Hong Kong, China. Her parents have long been at odds with each other, often quarreling, and she loves to hang out on the street on weekdays.
She didn't expect to look bright and beautiful, but she was discovered by the star scouts, and immediately reported to the TVB executives to call her: Amazing!
Soon TVB signed it off to prevent other companies from digging corners. You know, in the Hong Kong circle at that time, women had to go through beauty contests to be famous. Zheng Yanli, on the other hand, is much luckier than others, and with her natural advantages, she easily entered the industry.
Soon after entering the industry, Zheng Yanli, who was only 17 years old, got her first role in her life. Liang Chaowei hand-picked her to star in "Chivalrous Travel" and became a "screen couple" with herself; she also played against Ouyang Zhenhua, Deng Cuiwen and other "one brother and one sister", which made her young and temporarily out of the limelight, and people called her: a remake of Li Jiaxin.
Zheng Yanli also endorsed classic brands such as Vitasoy and Watsons, although not high-end but better than grounded, and soon she entered people's vision. Subsequently, with unlimited potential, she got very good roles in dramas such as "Naughty Gemini" and "Tang Famous Catch".
However, in the Hong Kong film industry in the 90s, beautiful women abounded, and soon TVB should praise others. Zheng Yanli, who has no patrons and no connections, can only play soy sauce in some dramas.
In the long run, she is eager to get ahead, and she can't hold back: the newcomers in the entertainment industry stubble after stubble, and the final result of no drama to shoot is to be forgotten.
At that time, Hong Kong's "wind moon film" market was in full swing, and Zheng Yanli, who was popular, had the idea of making wind and moon films.
At that time, she did not realize the danger of filming wind and moon films, "swimming abroad is also naked." Young and not in bad shape, I don't think it matters. ”
In this regard, Zheng Yanli, who embarked on the road of star, did have a small fire. But it didn't take long for her to discover the darkness and ugliness of this industry.
At that time, the Hong Kong wind and moon film market was almost bought out by the underworld, and many films were not wanted by actresses but were forced to have to be filmed.
In the kissing scene, there are male artists who often try to take advantage of her, and Zheng Yanli tries to resist, but is accused by the director: not dedicated, no professionalism.
The shooting experience of "Borrowing Seeds" in 1994 made Zheng Yanli cry when she recalled it. Originally, according to the agreement, she only needed to expose her upper body in the play. But when it came to the shooting scene, in order to increase the gimmick of the film, the director temporarily asked Zheng Yanli to be naked.
Zheng Yanli, who maintained her identity, immediately refused, and the director immediately called two male assistants and pushed her to the ground to force filming. She was crying a mess. Everyone has seen Zheng Yanli's beautiful body, but who can understand her unwillingness and despair.
That year, "Borrowing Seeds" caught fire. Her image of Bai Yishengxue in the play has also been recognized by people, but since then she has been nailed to the shame column of "Wind moon film". No one is inviting her to star in the main drama, and almost all the people who come to the door are large-scale wind and moon films.
Because there was no income, Zheng Yanli also took over many large-scale works later, but the results were frequently thrown on the street. As the drama path became narrower and narrower, she eventually lost her acting career and her image as a jade girl.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a life of infatuation that ended dismal</h1>
Zheng Yanli, who ended in failure in her career, also had a rather unsmooth love path.
At that time, Zheng Yanli was favored by many wealthy businessmen with the role of the female protagonist in "Borrowing Seeds", including Huang Renzhong, who was made the top of the "Three Ugly Men in Taiwan" by Li Ao.
Huang Renzhong himself is a well-known affair, he is rich and very, compared to Liu Luanxiong in Hong Kong. He himself said bluntly: women are the driving force of my life, and I can't eat without women.
Huang Renzhong was happy for Bo Zhengyanli, bought her a house and a car, and invited her to come to Taiwan to develop. At the beginning, Zheng Yanli's heart was very resistant, Huang Renzhong was not only many years older than her, but also had a group of wives and concubines, how should she treat herself?
However, with the development of the times, in order to rectify the atmosphere, the Hong Kong film industry began to ban the filming of wind and moon films. Zheng Yanli was cornered and Huang Renzhong's rhetoric, and soon she replaced Chen Baolian and became the most favored "qi girl" around Huang Renzhong.
Huang Renzhong invited guests, and the people sitting around were always Zheng Yanli; he liked to send red envelopes to women during the New Year's Festival, and Zheng Yanli always got the thickest and largest one.
Huang Renzhong was hospitable and often hosted a feast at home. When he heard that Zheng Yanli's mother was a chef in Taipei, he invited her mother to come to her house to cook... All these things made Zheng Yanli quite moved. She thought that she was special to Huang Renzhong, and he must have some love for herself.
However, the old people are not as good as the new, and Huang Renzhong is surrounded by countless warblers and swallows, and soon left Zheng Yanli behind. Fortunately, he was quite generous to women, and he also took care of Zheng Yanli's food and clothing.
However, even if there are thousands of family properties, they cannot withstand Huang Renzhong's extravagance and profligacy. In 2004, Huang Renzhong went bankrupt, and it was not long before he fell ill and died in bed, without even a spiritual hall or a posthumous photograph, and the group of warblers and swallows in the family was also dismissed.
Once Huang Renzhong died, Zheng Yanli, who had no one to rely on, could only return to her hometown. What she did not expect was that instead of being comforted by her relatives, she was rejected by her mother's vicious words.
Even if others insulted her and accused her, she endured it, but she almost collapsed when she was treated like this by her biological mother. Recalling that time, Zheng Yanli said: Standing in front of the window, thinking about it for a hundred years, wanting to jump from the top, any problem can be solved. ”
But fortunately, Zheng Yanli finally survived.
She wants to return to the film world, but her beauty is not there, and she can't compete with other people when she is older.
She wanted to do business again. Unfortunately, his education was not enough, he did not have economic brains, and soon his savings were lost, and the restaurant went out of business. She went to look for a job, and Zheng Yanli, who didn't have much literacy, couldn't do anything but fill out forms. The company is not a welfare organization, and she has been repeatedly shut out.
She also became a singer in a noisy bar, although she did not have the beauty of the past, but her style was still moving, so she was often taken advantage of by guests and forced to drink.
At one point, she was forced by a guest to drink. She wanted to refuse but did not dare, because if the guests were not happy, she would have no money to take. After drinking a cup, the other party poured her another cup. This time she refused, but was blocked by several strong men, and could only force herself to drink again.
She was drunk groggy, and in her confusion she heard the leader say, "Carry her up..." She struggled desperately before running out of the bar. Since then, Zheng Yanli has never dared to work on similar occasions again.
Later, when passing by McDonald's, Zheng Yanli found that there were people recruiting inside, so she filled out the form and got the job of 10 yuan an hour. In the restaurant, she was also excluded and bullied, often sent to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. Zheng Yanli felt aggrieved, but did not dare to complain, she needed to live: in order to survive, is there anything that cannot be tolerated?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks:</h1>
From a generation of red faces to restaurant women, Zheng Yanli's encounter is really lamentable.
But it is commendable that although life was difficult, the later Zheng Yanli did not continue to fall; she used her own hands to make money and rely on herself. After experiencing glory and wealth, being able to be willing to live a plain life actually requires enough courage, and Zheng Yanli has done it.
