"God created her to be envied, loved and protected." This sentence was given to her by the fans of Hong Kong's popular movie star Shi Hui in the last century.
Indeed, Shi Hui is not only born beautiful and heavenly, but also versatile and enviable, she has acted in more than 50 movies in her life, most of which are petite and lovely images. Although Shi Hui has the support of many fans, her happiest thing is that she has a close lover who has accompanied her all her life, and what is even more amazing is that under Shi Hui's seemingly weak appearance, she has a heart that insists on justice and bravery.
In the 1970s, there was a Hong Kong movie "Life and Death Fight" that integrated fighting, thrilling, science fiction, suspense and brain holes, which was loved by mainland audiences. The story is about Hong Kong lifeguard Lei Yongsheng, who inadvertently rescues the elderly rich man Yin Dawei who fell into the water due to a plane crash.
Lei Yongsheng gave him a blood transfusion in order to save the life of Yin Dawei, who was nearly eighty years old, however, because Lei Yongsheng's blood contained some kind of rejuvenating factor, Yin Dawei, who was full of white hair, saw that he had become black hair, and the old decay look was rejuvenated, and the whole person was full of vitality.
In order to permanently seize Lei's immortal blood, Yin Dawei sent someone to kidnap him. With the help of his fiancée Min Yan, Lei Yongsheng engaged in a "life-and-death struggle" with the people who came to kidnap him, and finally escaped from the clutches of the devil and went to a good life with his fiancée, while the rich man Yin Dawei died in old age and anger.
This movie, which was very avant-garde at the time, now seems illogical in many bridges, but the boldness of the story setting, the constant reversal of the plot, the fierceness of the fight scenes, the thrill of the sea speedboat chase, and the fashionable costumes of the male and female protagonists attract the attention of the audience.
In particular, the heroine's actor Shi Hui, who was 43 years old at the time, was still beautiful and gentle, and playing a young girl did not violate it, leaving an indelible impression on the audience of that era. Part of the reason people watch "Life and Death Fight" is that they want to see Shi Hui's style. The director of this film is Shi Hui's husband Fu Qi.
Shi Hui, born in 1934 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, was originally named Sun Huili, a native of Wuxing County, Zhejiang Province. At the age of 14, he moved to Hong Kong with his family and studied at the Hong Kong Civic College.
Shi Hui grew up in a privileged family, and from an early age, he had a special teacher to cultivate all aspects of art. She plays the piano well, can sing classical opera in Italian, can also dance ballet, and her calligraphy is also very high, full of book temperament.
In 1951, the 17-year-old Shi Hui was invited by the famous director Gu Zhizhi to perform a dance, and after Shi Hui danced, he won the applause of the whole hall, and was appreciated by Yuan Yang'an, the owner of the Hong Kong Great Wall Film Company, who was present at the time, and tried to persuade Shi Hui to enter the Great Wall Company.
Invited by the big boss of the film company, how many girls with star dreams dream of things, however, Shi Hui in the show insisted on focusing on her studies, until after graduation, she walked into the door of the Great Wall Film Company and opened her lifelong film career.
The beautiful-looking Shi Hui is not just a vase, she has shown her acting talent since her first film. Starring in the big director Bu Wancang's film "Lady Figure", it is completely natural and relaxed, without the slightest sense of jerkiness.
The image of the lady portrayed in this film is dignified and elegant, full of everyone's bridesmaid style, and has become the "goddess of affinity" imitated by women and the "dream lover" in men's hearts. The film was a great success, and Shi Hui became famous overnight. In addition, xia meng and Chen Sisi, who also have the same flower appearance and similar age, are collectively known as the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall".
In 1952, Xia Meng, the eldest princess of the three princesses of the Great Wall, and Shi Hui, the second princess, starred in the movie "A Family Spring" and achieved good results at the box office. In particular, the young and simple daughter who can play the piano played by Shi Hui in the play is as cute and flexible as herself, which has won the love of more audiences and made her suddenly red out of the sky.
At that time, the "Great Wall Pictorial" described Shi Hui's speed of channeling red, which was unprecedented in the history of the film industry. Her fans spontaneously formed the "Protect the Second Princess" association.
Just when Shi Hui's popularity was booming, she met her "true son of heaven" and "married young and early" without hesitation. The man who let the talented goddess put down her body and was willing to marry a human wife was the actor and director Fu Qi. However, when they first met, Fu Qi was still only a fan of Shi Hui and did not enter the film circle.
Fu Qi, formerly known as Fu Guoliang, was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in 1929, with his ancestral home in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and grew up in Qingpu District, Shanghai. Since he was a child, Fu Qi has been a master of both literature and martial arts, proficient in literature, art and sports, and frequently skips grades with excellent results. In 1949, at the age of 20, Fu Qi graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering of St. John's University in Shanghai and came to Hong Kong to develop.
Science and engineering men are not all nerds of Mu Ne, Fu Qi is a movie fan, has seen many famous Chinese and foreign movies, at that time the famous "Three Princesses of the Great Wall" in Hong Kong were his idols, although he did not know that the second princess would become his wife, but this marriage was already arranged in the dark.
One night in mid-July 1952, Fu Qi and a friend came to visit the shooting site of the Great Wall Company, and were surprised to see that his favorite actors Shi Hui, Xia Meng and others were shooting the costume movie "Evil Sea Flower" there, which made him a small fan excited. In order to get closer to the big stars in his heart, Fu Qi stayed until late at night before reluctantly leaving.
However, the more fortunate thing is still to come, this tall and handsome movie fan was seen by yuan Yang'an, the boss of the company who was also at the scene, when the Chinese film industry was making a small famine, and Fu Qi's young and handsome appearance was completely in line with it. Therefore, not long after, Fu Qi received a notice from the Great Wall Company inviting him to audition, which made Fu Qi both surprised and excited.
Maybe he was born an actor billet, although he did not have any acting experience, but his elegant temperament and handsome image impressed the film company owner, and Fu Qi was admitted. Since then, this civil engineer has turned into an actor, and his first film co-starred with Shi Hui in "Honeymoon".
After the release of the movie "Honeymoon", the audience gave enthusiastic affirmation and support to Fu Qi's image and acting skills, especially the female audience, who was obsessed with his handsome face, and Fu Qi succeeded in the first battle. Subsequently, the two collaborated on "Little Dancer", in which Fu Qi dumped a large number of fans because of a drumming action, and the momentum was so strong that he was praised by the Great Wall Company as a small student.
Two consecutive cooperations have made Shi Hui and Fu Qi feel a love in their hearts. In 1953, the two once again co-starred in the movie "Blue Flower", and they were already in love. The love between the amorous talented man and the beautiful talented woman is more perfect than the perfection pursued in Qiong Yao's novel, they are both happy with each other, have an inexhaustible common topic, and have tacit understanding and tacit understanding.
When Fu Qi and Shi Hui first fell in love, in order not to be disturbed by outside public opinion, they often went to find Zhang Bingxi, the mother of the current Hong Kong movie star Guan Zhilin, to travel together as smoke bombs to avoid people's eyes and ears, and her good friend Zhang Bingqian was also very happy to be a light bulb for two people.
On March 6, 1954, 20-year-old Shi Hui and 25-year-old Fu Qi were married in a high profile. The wedding of the youngest couple on the film industry at that time can be described as lively, romantic and romantic, frightened and frightened.
The wedding was held in an old high court, and when the couple and their men and women took the elevator, the old elevator jokingly broke down in the middle and couldn't open the door at all. In a hurry, everyone worked together to pry open a gap in the elevator door, and the bride and groom were able to escape from this gap, like a funny sitcom, which made people can't help but be funny, adding nonsense fun to the wedding.
At that time, when all the artists of the Great Wall Company got married, the Great Wall Pictorial would report on it in a large page, and this time, it also took the opportunity to create a momentum for the "Metropolis Symphony" co-produced by the two. The company made their wedding images into a short film of "Shi Hui Fu Qi Wedding Special" and played it at the end of the movie, which detonated the viewing effect at that time, which was really a double victory.
The two have a very happy life after marriage, although it is easy to fall in love with each other, it is not easy to understand each other, and some couples often have differences due to their different concepts and ideas, and they disperse as they walk. But Shi Hui and Fu Qi are like-minded couples, they not only have the same view of love, they are united in their careers, but also have the same political views.
In Hong Kong in the 1960s, left-wing trade unions used demonstrations and marches against the British government in Hong Kong at that time. When everyone else was wise to protect themselves, Shi Hui and Fu Qi, a loving couple in the film industry who were popular in half the sky, bravely stood up to participate in the resistance movement.
In the early morning of July 15, 1967, armed police broke into The home of Shek Wai Fu Qi at 18 HuaPu Street in another village and imprisoned him in a concentration camp at MoXingling on the charge of participating in a protest demonstration at the Governor's Mansion.
Shi Hui was strong in prison, and every time a new person was imprisoned, she sang "My Motherland" to give her fellow inmates spiritual support.
When Fu Qi heard that the British government in Hong Kong was going to deport them, he shouted: "Whoever sends me to Taiwan will get a corpse." ”
In mid-March 1968, when the two were forcibly repatriated to the mainland by the British government in Hong Kong, the Chinese border personnel at The Luohu Bridge shouted from loudspeakers: "The Hong Kong and British persecute Fu Qi and Shi Hui and want to deport them, in fact, they don't care whether they leave the country or not, because Hong Kong is also Chinese territory." ”
Holding Mao Zedong's quotations, Shi Hui and Fu Qi stood on the Luohu Bridge for more than twenty hours, never leaving the Hong Kong border to insist on their position. In the end, the helpless British government once again detained the two in Hong Kong's Skyhill Prison for a year. The incident sparked a series of diplomatic disputes between the United States and Britain, and indirectly prompted the colonial government to improve its governance.
The feelings of the two couples who suffered together after they were released from prison were even deeper. However, after this movement, it led to the decline of Left-wing films in Hong Kong, and the golden age of Acting of Shi Hui and Fu Qi did not reappear.
Shi Hui and Fu Qi began to develop in many habitats. In the early 1970s, Shi Hui mainly made some films that reflected the social life of the lower classes in Hong Kong, such as "House" and "Mud Child". At the same time, costume feature films and martial arts films have also left many works, such as "Life and Death Card", "Crouching Tiger Village", "Yingshan Hong", "Little Sudden Lei", "Cricket Emperor" and so on.
The studious Shi Hui also studied screenwriting, served as a cutscene, and worked as an assistant director of the film "Mandarin Dream Revisited". He also actively participated in social activities, and served as a deputy to the National People's Congress, the chairman of the South China Film Workers Association of Hong Kong, the director of the actors' office of the Great Wall Film Company, and the general manager of the Overseas Chinese Development Trade Department of Hong Kong Yindu Agency.
In addition, Shi Hui has also made remarkable achievements in other fields of art. She has given solo concerts in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Fuzhou and other places and recorded the "Shi Hui Song Collection"; played Chopin's works on the piano at the Victoria Auditorium in Singapore, which was highly acclaimed; and led the Hong Kong Silver Star Art Troupe to perform in the Philippines, Singapore and other places. Shi Hui, who has entered middle age, likes to paint oil paintings and has held exhibitions.
In 1966, Fu Qi and director Zhang Xinyan jointly put Liang Yusheng's martial arts novel "Yunhai Yuyu Bow Edge" on the screen. In addition to serving as a director, Fu Qi also played the male protagonist Kim Se-yi. After the release of "Yun Hai Yu Bow Edge", it caused a sensation in Hong Kong, Macao, Southeast Asia and other places, and was considered by critics to be a milestone for Hong Kong martial arts films, creating a precedent for new martial arts films.
Later, when the popularity of the Great Wall Company gradually declined, Fu Qi was appointed as the manager of the company, and because he was shrewd and courageous, he did things steadily and steadily, and soon the company turned around. At this time, a figure fell into Fu Qi's eyes, opening up another idea of film creation for him.
In 1974, the Chinese wushu delegation was invited to perform martial arts at the Sunbeam Theatre in Hong Kong, and an 11-year-old boy's extraordinary martial arts skills caused a sensation in the entire Hong Kong martial arts community. A single knife in his hand, the strong and powerful movement of the swing is neat, and every move is so flexible and free, which won the applause of the audience. This boy is the martial arts prodigy Jet Li.
At that time, Fu Qi sat below and watched, he was impressed by the martial arts of this little boy, and he was also attracted by his stubborn and mighty temperament. If such a real kung fu from the inside out is put on the big screen, it will definitely make the audience refreshed.
After the performance, Fu Qi found Jet Li's coach Wu Bin and wanted to ask Jet Li to shoot a play, but coach Wu Bin refused because Jet Li was still young. But Jet Li agreed to Fu Qi's suggestion that he would go to make movies when he grew up.
Since then, Fu Qi has tried to find Jet Li every year, watching his martial arts performances while also observing his growth. At this time, in order to develop Sino-Japanese friendly relations, the two sides planned the filming plan of the movie "Shaolin Temple". To this end, Fu Qi and Zhang Xinyan founded zhongyuan film company.
When the Chinese side showed a sample film taken to the Japanese side, the Japanese side felt that the martial arts side was not very satisfied and hoped to re-shoot. Therefore, Zhongyuan Company decided to use the national martial arts champion to participate in the shooting, and the boss Fu Qi naturally thought of Jet Li, at this time, more than 6 years have passed since they first met.
This time Jet Li agreed to the invitation to star in "Shaolin Temple", and after the film was released in 1982, it instantly set off a movie-watching frenzy in the country, and a movie ticket for about a dime sold for 161 million yuan. People in the streets talk about this movie everywhere, talk about Chinese kung fu, talk about the Shaolin Temple.
For a time, it became a cultural phenomenon, and the shaolin temple was surrounded by people who came to learn kung fu. Even Wang Baoqiang also went to learn kung fu because of this movie, and it is with this kung fu that he gradually emerged.
Jet Li, who starred in the movie at that time, was even more red and purple, leaping from an obscure junior to a kung fu superstar. Since then, Fu Qi and Shi Hui have successively produced "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin" and other acclaimed films while they are hot, pushing Jet Li's career to the peak. In 1988, after making his last film, Widow's Village, Fu Qi turned to business and became a successful businessman.
Shi Hui and Fu Qi have two daughters and a son, and the eldest daughter is named Fu Minglan, all because in the movie "Orchid Flower" between the two, the male protagonist Wang Kangming, played by Fu Qi, is fanatically in love with the heroine Zhou Lan played by Shi Hui.
His son, Fu Mingwei, is in a computer business and now works in the United States. After the youngest daughter Fu Mingxian graduated from York University in the United States, because she liked acting, she wanted to enter TVB, Fu Qi directly called the boss Run Run Shaw, and sent her daughter Directly Fu Mingxian to TVB.
Fu Mingxian's works are not many, but in the 95th edition of Gu Tianle Li Ruotong's "Divine Eagle Hero", she played Guo Jing Huang Rong's daughter Guo Fu, whether it is acting skills or appearances are eye-catching and well known to the audience.
Now Shi Hui and Fu Qi have long faded out of the screen and moved to Canada, like a pair of fairy lovers, living a leisurely old age. For more than 60 years, Shi Hui and Fu Qi have well interpreted the love of only one person in their lives and their unswerving love.
Shi Hui's beauty, whether it is handsome in her youth or elegant after the ancient rarity, is always a beautiful landscape that shows her charm in every period of time, and the years have never defeated the beauty, Shi Hui Fu Qi, the senior handsome men and women, are the eternal good stories in the Chinese film industry.
