When Wu Qilong and Takeshi Kaneshiro, who are at the peak of their appearance, stand in front of them together, who will you choose?
Yang Caini's answer is:
No one chooses.
In those years, the scandal between the three of them was uproaring, and the public debated endlessly about who Yang Caini was more compatible with.
But no one expected that Yang Caini finally chose her unattractive boyfriend Qiu Shaozhi.
For the sake of this man, she even gave up her thriving career twice.
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for her, she said that she didn't regret it.
Such Yang Caini, is she in love, or is she really sober?
- 01 -
Yang Caini, born in Taiwan, grew up in Hong Kong.
Because of her wealthy family, she went to the United States to study at the age of 15.
After returning to Hong Kong for a holiday 3 years later, he was unexpectedly discovered by a talent scout and got the opportunity to shoot an advertisement.
For the first shooting, the object of cooperation was Aaron Kwok, who was hot at the time.
Subsequently, this advertisement brought a huge amount of exposure to Yang Caini.
With her superior appearance, she quickly became the new favorite in the advertising world.
At that time, Wong Kar-wai was preparing to film the movie "East Evil and West Poison", and Yang Caini was discovered by chance.
He felt that the heroism between the girl's eyebrows and eyes, and the stubbornness revealed on her body, were quite Maggie Cheung's style, so he decided that she would play the role of "orphan girl".
At that time, in the acting industry, Yang Caini was still a newcomer, and suddenly cooperated with Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung and other big names, and she was under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, Leslie Cheung takes very good care of her, not only getting up early to sparring lines and scripts, but also calling her every time he eats.
Gradually, Yang Caini began to integrate into the crew and enjoy the fun of filming.
Although there are not many scenes, after the film was released, Yang Caini's performance still won the favor of many people.
Among these people is director Tsui Hark.
He took a fancy to Yang Caini's heroism and appointed her to star in Zhu Yingtai in the movie "Liang Zhu".
Women dressed as men, informal, playful and cute.
With this film, Yang Caini successfully got out of the circle.
Immediately, invitations poured in.
In "The Best Period of the Flower Moon", she and Wu Qilong are paired together, and they are full of CP.
In "Fallen Angel", she plays Takeshi Kaneshiro's first love, depressed and charming.
Later, the release of "Self-Combing" pushed Yang Caini's career to a peak.
- 02 -
My Fair Lady, Gentleman.
Since ancient times, beauties have always been surrounded by suitors.
Yang Caini, the same is true.
Because of the two films "Liang Zhu" and "Flower Moon Period", she and Wu Qilong have become popular screen CPs.
Hong Kong media all said that Yang Caini and Wu Qilong were "fake shows".
Even director Tsui Hark himself snorted CP online.
"Anyway, what I saw at the scene really had a very close magnetic field."
It is said that sometimes when filming, Yang Caini finished filming first, and when she was about to remove her makeup, Wu Qilong would stop her:
"Hey, why did you run away first?"
Then, the two of them will go shopping and chat together.
Later, this scandal spread and soon turned into a love triangle.
Because of Takeshi Kaneshiro, he also joined the "battle situation".
Long before Yang Caini started acting, she made a cameo appearance in Takeshi Kaneshiro's MV.
At that time, Yang Caini felt that Takeshi Kaneshiro was dragging him, and Takeshi Kaneshiro felt that Yang Caini hated him, so the two had no good feelings for each other.
But with the later cooperation in the movie, the two solved the misunderstanding and became friends.
Yang Caini is even the object of Takeshi Kaneshiro's first kiss on the screen.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and the cooperation is tacit, and CP fans are naturally indispensable.
In this way, Yang Caini, Wu Qilong, and Takeshi Kaneshiro formed a "love triangle".
Later, a program team didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, so they went to interview the parties involved in the scandal.
Takeshi Kaneshiro replied:
"It is said that she is more compatible with Wu Qilong, obviously I am compatible with her, am I not worthy of her?"
Wu Qilong was a little calmer:
"I don't know her options."
Just when everyone was eating melons, Yang Caini announced her relationship.
However, no one expected that her choice was neither Takeshi Kaneshiro nor Wu Qilong, but her boyfriend Qiu Shaozhi outside the circle.
- 03 -
In 1994, Yang Caini met Qiu Shaozhi under the introduction of a friend.
He is a lawyer in Singapore and is said to be a rich second generation.
The relationship between the two lasted for three years before it was exposed.
In 1997, Yang Caini admitted her relationship and announced her retirement from business.
This year, she is 23 years old, her career is flourishing, and she is expected to take over Zhou Huimin's class and become a new generation of "jade girl head".
But she chose to give up everything in the entertainment industry and work hard in the mall with her boyfriend.
Unfortunately, starting a business is not a simple matter.
Because of their lack of experience and financial turmoil, Yang Caini and her boyfriend's company soon lost money and was in high debt.
Employees and suppliers even come to collect debts and insist on repaying the money.
Subsequently, Qiu Shaozhi was revealed to have a false identity, he was not a rich second generation at all, and he did not have a lawyer's license.
Things came one after another, and Yang Caini, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally chose to break up.
In 2003, Yang Caini announced her comeback.
She said:
"To be honest, I'm only 30 years old now, and I can afford to lose."
Over the next few years, she focused on her career.
"New Police Story", "Seven Swords", "Say I Love You Again", "Father and Son", ......
The drama is about one after another, and Yang Caini's career has reached a peak again.
However, just when everyone thought that Yang Caini was going to show off her skills in the entertainment industry and perform a big heroine drama of her own, the Hong Kong media suddenly broke the news that she and Qiu Shaozhi had quietly reunited.
In 2013, Yang Caini announced her marriage and entered into marriage with her boyfriend Qiu Shaozhi.
After getting married, she began to produce less work and spend more time on her family.
For her choice, many viewers felt sorry for her, and they also felt that she was not worth it.
I don't understand where Qiu Shaozhi is good, worthy of Yang Caini's love brain.
not only did not choose the two handsome guys, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Wu Qilong, but also gave up his thriving career for him twice.
In fact, Yang Caini has her own answer to this question:
"Whether it's a lot of sacrifice, it depends on how you see the value of things, and what many people want may not be what I want."
There are many choices in life, and there is no right or wrong choice in and of itself.
What you want, you are willing to exchange it for a thousand gold.
What I don't want, no matter how good it is, I feel boring.
For Yang Caini, what she chooses is what she wants most, maybe others don't understand, but she understands it herself.
It is not a kind of sobriety to be brave enough to fight for what you want regardless of worldly standards.
Because, if you understand where your heart desires, you are not afraid of the storms of the world.
