Some time ago, the variety show "Ace to Ace", which focuses on nostalgic memories of killing, invited the main creators of the 97 version of "Tianlong Eight Parts" crew.
Accompanied by the exciting background music of "Tianlong Babu", Qiao Feng Huang Rihua, Wang Yuyan Li Ruotong, Duan Yu Chen Haomin, XuanZhu Fan Shaohuang, Zhong Ling He Meidian... The appearance of a series of classic characters made many on-site audiences can't help but cry, excited and sighed: "Ye Qinghui!" ”
Compared with Huang Rihua, who is full of vicissitudes, and Chen Haomin, who is "happy and fat", He Meidian, who plays Zhong Ling, is amazed by her delicate appearance that has not changed for more than 20 years.
However, many people also feel strange, why He Meidian, who once left deep memories in the hearts of a generation, is now almost not in front of the audience?
So today I want to talk to you about the story of "the most beautiful nun" and "the most beautiful bell spirit" He Meidian.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15">01</h1>
Ho Mei Tin, who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of her role in Hong Kong TVB, is actually not a Hong Kong person, but a Chinese mainland person.
In 1975, He Meidian was born into an ordinary family in Chaozhou. Because there are more brothers and sisters in the family, parents have to run around to make ends meet.
As the eldest daughter in the family, her parents are still full of expectations for He Meidian, beauty is her generation, and "tungsten" sounds the same as "sweet", and in tungsten , there is "gold and field".
It can be seen that her parents expect her to live a life of sweetness and wealth.
But unfortunately, the family really can't afford to eat and wear so many children, and parents even have to consider the problem of sending their children away.
Fortunately, a relative of Ho Mei Tin's family is a gymnastics coach, and he told Ho Mei Tin's parents:
"Why don't you send her to gymnastics!" If she fights for anger, she can still earn a future. ”
In this way, he Meidian, who was only 5 years old, left home and went to the sports school to study gymnastics.
Gymnastics training is a very hard thing, and many teenage children can't hold on. But the sensible He Meidian did not dare to complain bitterly, because she knew that if she could not stay in the sports school, she would become a burden for her parents.
Getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to run, before going to bed at 10 o'clock, He Meidian, who worked harder than others, soon got the appreciation of the coach, and at the age of 7, she was recommended to the Guangzhou gymnastics team, leaving her hometown and going to a wider world.
During the Guangzhou gymnastics team, it was also the time when He Meidian continued to make good results. She won successive awards and became a favorite gymnast for coaches.
In 1987, at the National Junior Gymnastics Championships, Ho Won the Balance Beam Championship.
In 1991, He Meidian represented China at the International Invitational Tournament in North Korea and won the free gymnastics championships as expected.
Unfortunately, the gymnast's career is very short. After the age of 16, He Meidian had to consider retiring because of his injuries and his constantly upward height.
However, the gears of fate were quietly turning, bringing He Meidian to another realm.
In 1994, TVB Hong Kong selected actors. They traveled to a number of dance academies and sports schools, hoping to find some young, promising specialty actors.
The coach of the sports school recommended He Meidian to try it.
He Meidian, who had never considered being an actor, appeared at the interview scene wearing slippers. And the on-site casting director saw that such a He Meidian also broke the glasses, especially they just came from the exquisite and elegant dance academy next door, and then saw such a casual and unrestrained He Meidian, I can't help but feel that she did not pay enough attention.
But He Meidian's sweet smile and solid gymnastics skills still impressed the casting director.
Especially after seeing that she could do some professional actions similar to "side flip" and "backhand flip", TVB finally decided to sign this cute and casual little girl.
In this way, He Meidian accidentally hit and became a TVB actor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15">02</h1>
He Meidian's first play on TVB was "Heavenly Descent" with big stars such as Wen Zhaolun and Xuan Xuan, and then she cooperated with the head of the jade girl Zhou Huimin in the TV series "Dao Ma Dan".
However, in these two TV series, He Meidian appeared as a "corner" character with little role.
But He Meidian, who looks sweet and agile, still left a deep impression on everyone and let everyone remember this cute and beautiful little girl.
In 1996, the Hong Kong remake of the classic Jin Yong martial arts drama "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", and the casting activities for the actors in the play also officially began.
He Meidian was recommended to try the role of "Yi Lin", a disciple of the Hengshan Sect.
At that time, the director hoped to find a new actor who had never acted before to play the role of innocent, innocent and kind Yilin.
But when He Meidian changed into YiLin's monk's robe and put on the monk's hat, the dusty temperament immediately emanated, and even He Meidian herself looked at the little nun in the mirror for a long time.
And the executive producer of this TV series, Li Tiansheng, has also been hovering around He Meidian, and it can be seen that he is very satisfied with He Meidian's style.
Sure enough, in the end, the role of Yi Lin, the little sister of the Hengshan Sect, fell on He Meidian's body.
And He Meidian did not live up to the trust of the crew. Under the interpretation of He Meidian, the image of a simple little nun like Qing Shui appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
She was innocent and kind, with a clear distinction between good and evil, and even Tian Boguang, a great flower picker, did not dare to violate her.
Her love for Ling Huchong is frank and sincere, but she does not ask for anything in return, and only hopes to make Ling Huchong rejoice in her heart.
Such a "only heavenly" role of a little nun made the audience love her miserably, and also let He Meidian really start to become popular.
After the role of Yi Lin, executive producer Li Tiansheng invited her to star in another of his Jin Yong dramas, "Tianlong Babu".
In this star-studded "Tianlong Eight Parts", He Meidian did not even need to audition, and was directly hand-picked by Li Tiansheng to play Zhong Lingyuxiu's little cute - Zhong Ling.
Li Tiansheng really knew He Meidian, and Zhong Ling's agility and cuteness were very similar to He Meidian's own temperament.
Under the interpretation of He Meidian, a naïve, innocent and cute little Zhong Ling was born.
She is playful and mischievous, but she is kind and likes Duan Yu, but she still helps Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing escape from the stone room.
After knowing that he was Duan Yu's sister, he single-mindedly regarded Duan Yu as an older brother.
After the 97th edition of "Tianlong Babu" was broadcast, whether it was Huang Rihua's Qiao Feng or Li Ruotong's version of Wang Yuyan, it became a classic. Zhong Ling, which has relatively few scenes, has also won the recognition of the audience, and some people even praised He Meidian's version of Zhong Ling as the most classic Zhong Ling.
And that year He Meidian was just 22 years old, which was the most brilliant and beautiful age.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15">03</h1>
After becoming popular with the two roles of Zhong Ling and Yi Lin, He Meidian has completely opened up her own drama path.
In the next few years, she began to cooperate frequently with Zhang Weijian and created a large number of excellent TV drama works.
In "Young Hero Fang Shiyu", she is Ling Xiaoxiao, an orphan girl who is not skilled in martial arts but gentle and kind, and Fang Shiyu, played by Zhang Weijian, loves each other.
In "Chess Samurai", she is Ye Yexin, who is bent on revenge for her husband and is not very caught in the magic, and Xue Yixiao, played by Zhang Weijian, is a good friend who supports each other.
In "Clever Little Don't Understand", she also incarnated as Ying Zifu, who is gentle and elegant, soft on the outside and tough on the inside, and is the same as the college teacher with the "don't understand" played by Zhang Weijian.
Because of the frequent cooperation, they have also become a popular "screen CP", so that many viewers think that they are a real couple.
Even when Zhang Weijian announced his love affair with actor Zhang Qian, there were irresponsible media that published photos of Zhang Weijian and He Meidian, so that this misunderstanding became more and more intense.
Reluctantly, He Meidian had to maintain a distance from Zhang Weijian so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Later, her contract with TVB expired and she began to return to the mainland.
However, He Meidian did not return to the mainland to develop very smoothly, although she starred in many TV drama works, such as the female number one Qi Fang in "Lian Cheng Tips", the pomegranate in "Tang Bohu of the Merry Boy", and the honey in "China's Little Boss", but the response was flat and did not stir up any splash.
Later, she tried to transform, and had a passionate scene with Wu Yanzu in the movie "Disciple", He Meidian wore a sexy bikini and Wu Yanzu kissed wet in the pool.
Although He Meidian was greatly praised for her hot body, she was obviously not suitable for this role because of her well-behaved and cute appearance. Ho Mei Tin should have felt this way, so she never came into contact with similar roles again.
In fact, when the classic game "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" was filmed, He Meidian's call to play Zhao Ling'er was also relatively loud.
Even Xie Chonghui, the project of the legend of the Immortal Sword, also said: "He Meidian's failure to play Zhao Ling'er is a loss for immortal fans. ”
However, in the end, this role still fell on the younger and more beautiful Liu Yifei.
The low-key He Meidian also gradually reduced the number of filming and became tepid.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15">04</h1>
In 2019, the 97th edition of the "Tianlong Eight Parts" starring reunited, and everyone could not help but sigh: although the years are cruel, they are really preferential to some people.
Now 46 years old, He Meidian has firm skin and a full face, and it is almost impossible to see the traces of age.
After so many years of debut, she can be said to have zero gossip and zero gossip, and is a rare low-key star in the entertainment industry.
And her love life is also very interesting.
So far, Yunying's unmarried He Meidian, she lives alone, she often practices yoga, makes food, and travels around, which is very enviable.
In her spare time, He Meidian will also interact with fans on the Internet, and it can be seen that she is still the kind and lovely Yi Lin and Zhong Ling.
As for the question of "He Meidian, who was extremely popular, why is it not on fire now", we can also find the reason in her development process:
In the era of He Meidian, the heroine often existed to flatter the male protagonist and fall in love with the male protagonist.
"The Biography of Zhen Huan", "Ruyi Biography", "Yanxi Raiders" and other high-heat "big female protagonists" were rare at that time, and they would not fall on the head of the young He Meidian.
Therefore, after her popularity reaches a certain stage, it begins to decline, which is also a common phenomenon in the development of many TVB actresses.
As he grew older, He Meidian, who was low-key and not hyped, was gradually replaced by an endless stream of newcomers and slowly faded out of the film and television circle.
However, the classic role left by He Meidian has remained on the screen forever, and it still makes us remember it endlessly.
If there is a chance, I still hope that He Meidian can continue to bring us more excitement on the screen.
Because the quietness and purity in her body are worth our expectations.
