Is face value a stepping stone to success?
It may not be necessary in other industries, but in such a "face-watching" place as the entertainment industry, having a high value is undoubtedly a rare chip.
In the 1990s, the Hong Kong entertainment industry also had such a "willful" popular student.
He is recognized as the most handsome Tang monk in all versions of "Journey to the West".
It is also the "Golden Snake Langjun" Xia Xueyi in "Green Blood Sword".
He once played two classic villain roles in "In Search of Qin", "In Search of Qin", which still makes many viewers remember.
He is Jiang Hua, the former popular brother of ATV.
With a charming and handsome appearance, Jiang Hua in the play has captured the hearts of thousands of young girls.
However, after becoming popular, he was once labeled a "scumbag" because of his extramarital affair with Deng Cuiwen.
At the age of 53, Jiang Hua suddenly announced that he would quit the circle to engage in the insurance industry, and since then, there has been no such figure in the entertainment industry.
Maverick and controversial, what kind of person is Jiang Hua?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11">1、</h1>
Jiang Hua was born in Hong Kong in 1962, although he was a handsome man since he was a child, his outstanding appearance did not allow him to get more love from his parents.
Because the family conditions are not good, his parents are busy with livelihood, there is no time to care about him, plus Jiang Hua has a grumpy father, his childhood experience can only be described by a "miserable" word.
Once, Jiang Hua came home late because of greed, and his father not only punished him for not allowing him to eat, but also hung him up and beat him up. Such a terrible experience, for Jiang Hua in his childhood, was like a common thing.
As Jiang Hua grew older, his only thought was to escape from his original family.
In 1984, Hong Kong held the first Rookie Singer Grand Prix, and Jiang Hua, who had been handsome and self-aware since childhood, saw the opportunity to get ahead, so he resolutely signed up.
With his handsome appearance and good singing talent, Jiang Hua has cut through thorns all the way, and is only one foot away from winning the final.
However, just when success was at his fingertips, Jiang Hua made a decision that made everyone fall through the glasses.
He's out of the race!
It turned out that on the eve of the final, there was suddenly some gossip.
Some people say that the winner of this competition has already been given to the relatives of the judge Zhang Guorong!
Although Jiang Hua longs to be famous, he has always been proud and arrogant, and he can't stand the "black box operation" of the game, and he chose to quit in a huff!
However, as soon as the results of the game came out, Jiang Hua was dumbfounded. The person who won the championship was not a relative of Zhang Guorong at all, but Zhang Weijian, who was born in the grassroots like himself!
Because of the gossip of others, he missed an opportunity to become famous, which made Jiang Hua feel very annoyed, but after all, people are handsome men with "willful face".
Seeing that the rice bowl in his hand was about to be smashed by him, God had to chase him to feed him.

After the singing competition, Hong Kong ATV opened an actor training class, Jiang Hua did not find any way out, he went to the exam with the mentality of trying it out, did not expect that "the blind cat met the dead rat", and was admitted casually.
During the training class, Jiang Hua finally experienced the magic of appearance.
Just when other students were still working hard, Jiang Hua was caught by the attic executives of ATV because of his outstanding appearance conditions.
After the clicks of the people around him, Jiang Hua found that he actually had a "star face".
Andy Lau, Zhou Runfa, Huang Rihua, Zheng Shaoqiu, Lv Liangwei, Deng Guangrong... Because he looked like these big stars, Jiang Hua soon got the opportunity to play the male lead.
In 1986, Jiang Hua starred in his first TV series "Shaolin Heroes".
Jiang Hua, who debuted as a newcomer, was still very young in acting at that time, and was often scolded by the director on the set.
This made Jiang Hua, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, feel very unhappy: "The drama is not my own to act, obviously you are looking for me to act, is it not normal for the newcomer to act badly?" ”
Although the first filming experience was not good, the response after the broadcast of "Shaolin Heroes" was good, and Jiang Hua soon ushered in the first small climax of his career.
In 1990, Jiang Hua starred in the movie "Wish people are long-lasting", and with his outstanding performance, he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Academy Awards that year.
Handsome in appearance and heavyweight awards, Jiang Hua was in the limelight for a while.
Together with Lui Songxian, Wu Yongwei and Wan Qiwen, he is known as the "twin dan" of ATV.
He and Wu Yongwei played the side line CP in "Silver Fox", and the limelight even overwhelmed the protagonists Huang Rihua and Zeng Huaqian.
The taste of popularity made Jiang Hua feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, but he soon found that popularity actually had the trouble of becoming popular.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="109">3、</h1>
In the year that Jiang Hua won the Academy Award, the relationship between him and Mai Jiewen was also pushed to the cusp of the storm.
Mai Jiewen was quite famous in the song world at that time, because of the cameo movie "I Hope People Last", she met Jiang Hua, who was 8 years younger than herself, and then launched a fierce pursuit.
"Sister-brother love" was not highly recognized at that time, and after the two people's love affair was exposed, it was inevitable to bear a lot of pressure.
Under the excessive interference of public opinion, the two were separated after 2 years together. But Mai Jiewen, who has an active and strong personality, how can he give up easily?
After the breakup, Mai Jiewen still stared at Jiang Hua's every move, and she accidentally learned from a friend that Jiang Hua was pursuing Wan Qiwen of the same company, and she was jealous and made up her mind to chase him back.
As a friend, she calls Jiang Hua every day, from poetry and song to life philosophy, from trivial to career ideals...
The woman chased the man through the veil, and the half-hearted Jiang Hua quickly surrendered his weapons and returned to the arms of Mai Jiewen.
After reconciling with Jiang Hua, Mai Jiewen had an extra layer of crisis awareness, and in order to prevent her feelings from changing again, the marriage plan was in her mind for a long time...
Once, Mai Jiewen pointed to the wedding photos in the newspaper and said to Jiang Hua: "Is the wedding dress so beautiful?" Shall we go and shoot too? ”
The woman's intention to propose marriage was so obvious that Jiang Hua naturally did not want to refuse, and the two entered the siege of marriage.
After marriage, Mai Jiewen, who thought she was married to Langjun, no longer had the heart to have a career, she quit the entertainment industry and became a full-time housewife, giving birth to a son and a daughter for Jiang Hua.
I thought that my life had been completed, but even if I knew that marriage seemed to be happy, it was often full of dangers.

After entering the 90s, Hong Kong ATV gradually fell into the inferior position under the long-term duel with TVB, and many ATV actors were also poached by TVB.
In 1994, Lu Songxian ran away from ATV to sign a contract with TVB, and two years later, Jiang Hua also joined TVB.
Former colleagues have jumped to the same company, and it is inevitable that everyone will calculate and compare in their hearts.
Driven by interests, the former good brothers have gradually developed a gap.
TVB executives had promised Jiang Hua a big cake: he would be allowed to play the role of "Ling Fox Chong" in "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu".
Jiang Huaxin, who has always been quite confident in his appearance, thinks it is true.
Unexpectedly, when the filming officially began, the candidate for "Ling Fox Chong" was replaced by Lu Songxian!
His favorite role was robbed, Jiang Hua felt very unhappy, and in desperation, he had to play another role - Tang Monk in "Journey to the West".
Although Tang Monk also has a handsome appearance, it is impossible to compare the aura of the character with Ling Fox Chong.
But we can't help but admit that some people are born with a big red life.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", the response was overwhelming, and Jiang Hua was named "the most handsome Tang monk in history" for his handsome and handsome appearance.
As his popularity has risen, Jiang Hua has gradually gained some feeling of being a superstar, walking on the road, and even some fans will kneel down to him in the street...
Jiang Hua couldn't help but start to get a little overwhelmed, and once he forgot his form, he made an irreparable mistake.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="111">5、</h1>
In 1996, Jiang Hua co-starred with Deng Cuiwen in the TV series "I Have a Date with Spring".
The story in the play is very exciting, and the story outside the play is also very bloody.
At that time, Jiang Hua and Mai Jiewen had been married for 4 years, and the passion before marriage was gradually consumed by the chicken feathers after marriage.
In the face of the gentle and naïve Deng Cuiwen, Jiang Hua often complained to her about the unhappiness in the marriage, and after coming and going, Deng Cuiwen, who was not deeply involved in the world, actually had pity for Jiang Hua, and the two also developed an "extramarital affair" that was criticized by others.
Soon, Jiang Hua and Deng Cuiwen's relationship was exposed by the media, and Mai Jiewen was furious when he learned about it.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Jiang Hua had to return to his wife for forgiveness at the first time.
Mai Jiewen, who is bent on being a "good wife", sees that her husband has a good attitude of admitting mistakes, so she does not blame the past, but this does not mean that she intends to let go of Deng Cuiwen, who is a "third party".
Therefore, she quickly pulled Jiang Hua to hold a press conference.
At the press conference, Mai Jiewen tearfully denounced Deng Cuiwen's "crime", and although Jiang Hua admitted that he had cheated, he pushed all the responsibility to Deng Cuiwen, claiming that he was lured by the other party!
Obviously, it was a mistake made by two people, and after all, It was Deng Cuiwen who carried everything alone.
Because of this incident, Deng Cuiwen's career suffered an unprecedented blow, she almost collapsed, until many years later, with the outstanding performance in "Golden Branch Desire", she turned over again...
At the other end, Jiang Hua, who stood on the same front with his wife after the incident, not only maintained the image of a "good husband", but also achieved many good results in his career.
In 2000, Jiang Hua starred in the TVB Taiwan Celebration Drama "Green Blood Sword" and was awarded the title of "the most handsome golden snake Lang Jun in history".
In 2001, Jiang Hua starred in the hit cross-over drama "Searching for Qin", with excellent acting skills, one person played two roles, which was impressive.
It is said that the past is like smoke, but how can the past be like smoke?
How could the pain of the skin and the insignificant itch be the same feeling?
Years later, Deng Cuiwen confessed in an interview that her "extramarital affair" with Jiang Hua was the only thing she regretted in her life.
"I just think about love, I think when I am a third party, I have a very silly idea, that is, the other party must make you feel that he is unhappy, he is only in you, you are the most suitable person." 」
Looking back on the past, Jiang Hua has a completely different feeling: "Whatever I did that day was good, I didn't regret it." ”
Of course, people who do not bear the consequences do not need to regret it, because the pain is never their own.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="112">6、</h1>
In 2010, Jiang Hua starred in the TV series "Search line of proof", and since then, he has faded out of the entertainment industry.
It is said that he suffered a recurrence of a low back injury during filming, and later suffered from depression because of a low back injury.
For his own physical considerations, Jiang Hua chose to quit the entertainment industry around 2015 and began to engage in the insurance industry.
For Hong Kong actors, changing careers is not too unusual, but Jiang Hua's change from actor to insurance is undoubtedly an incredible decision.
After all, being an actor can rely on "brushing your face", but selling insurance depends on real popularity and connections.
And all indications are that Jiang Hua is not a person who is good at developing personal connections.
After 5 years of retreat, the legend of Jiang Hua is still circulating on the rivers and lakes.
In 2020, when Wu Yongwei was on the show, she openly alluded to a senior she had worked with to "play a big card" and play missing during working hours.
Many people speculate that she is referring to Jiang Hua, who resembles Andy Lau.
Lu Songxian, a former good brother, also openly broke off relations with Jiang Hua, claiming that he had "never been in contact with him and did not know him." ”
The indifference between the words makes people can't help but think of it.
After many years in the entertainment industry, Jiang Hua's popularity does not seem to be very good.
In reality, Jiang Hua's distinctive personality has indeed had a certain impact on his career.
Limited by his ability to communicate, Jiang Hua only insisted on selling insurance for one year before failing.
He had no concept of money, and he also learned to invest in stocks, and eventually ended up with no return.
But no matter how Jiang Hua tossed, there was always a wife who would not abandon him.
When there was no money, the family of four moved to the countryside to live an ordinary life, Jiang Hua concentrated on taking care of the children at home, and Mai Jiewen re-emerged as a singer to earn money to support the family.
The old husband and wife spend 2 yuan to take the tram, and they also have a lot of fun.
Having experienced the glitz above the clouds, but also felt the dashing outside the red dust, life is like this, what do you want?
Being willful may be a talent, but being able to be willful for a lifetime is also a skill.
