In 1975, a few days before Li Wei was born in Hong Kong, his father suddenly fell ill and died. 9 years later, my mother was ready to immigrate to the United States, and many people around you said that you were a woman's family, and three children were afraid of not being able to support, and they all advised her to give up this youngest daughter...
Mom was reluctant and gritted her teeth to bring her 3 daughters to the United States. After another 7 years, 16-year-old Li Wei broke through the cocoon into a butterfly in frustration and tempering, and there was no need to bother to please anyone.
At that time, Li Wei was still called Li Meilin, from a foreign girl who could not speak English, to a model student envied by everyone, and there were various titles such as "volleyball team leader" and "student council president".
Mainly God appreciates the meal to eat, in a piece of purple and red, Li Wei developed superhuman first class, facial features three-dimensional charming, convex and concave figure, and a natural good voice.
In 1991, 16-year-old Li Wei represented the school in the "Miss Miaoling Usa Pageant" and won the championship. The following year, he participated in the Singing Contest in California and won another championship.
At the same time, Li Wei's eldest sister and second sister also returned to Hong Kong, eager to change their fate through the beauty pageant, becoming the first pair of "sister flowers" in the history of the "Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant" to advance to the final together.
Li Qiulin, the eldest sister with a beautiful and sweet voice, has a good reputation and won the "Most Popular Beauty Award", but unfortunately, it was not welcomed by the judges, and the Li sisters both stopped outside the top five.
In 1993, the Hong Kong music scene was in full swing, and 18-year-old Li Wei carried the expectations of his family and participated in the "Rookie Singing Contest" sponsored by TVB, living up to expectations and winning a runner-up.
Seeing that the wide avenue is in front of him, Li Wei, with the support of his family, suspended his studies to sign for the famous Hong Kong Huaxing Records Company. How could she have imagined that once she entered the rivers and lakes, the path of a singer was far from what she thought.

At that time, the popular jade female singer in the Hong Kong music scene, Huaxing Records felt that Li Wei's singing and dancing were not bad, and the English singing was a bit ingenious, admiring her and cherishing her, but she just didn't know how to build her.
After a year as a singer, Li Wei only hummed two sentences in a multi-person CHORUS EP. Then, watching the popular singers Lin Yilian and Faye Wong shine on the stage.
She wanted to find a boy to make a date and relax, but her mother hung up all the calls from the boys.
But day and night defense, master brother is difficult to defend. Li Wei and Zhang Ruizhe of the same company filmed a "inseparable" MV, it is really inseparable, wonderful love is menacing, night and night dance...
The feeling of having love care is really different, Li Wei, who has never enjoyed his father's love, is full of strength in his heart.
In 1994, Taiwan's Modernist Records, a subsidiary of Huaxing Records, recorded her first music album for Li Wei, and when the title song "I Am Still Your Lover" was recorded, Li Wei opened her voice and the music producer was very unhappy.
A lyrical love song, sung by Li Wei nine bends and eighteen turns. The producer listened, how does this work, and said to her: "Little sister, you can't sing like this, singing like this is not commercial, it will certainly not sell well." ”
Li Wei, a fledgling newcomer, can only do anything but keep asking and letting the producer give her a chance.
To be a human being, we must learn to fight, and the turn of fate is not good in this thought.
Sure enough, Li Wei's ingenious American singing voice, once launched, was very popular, and the album called "Love Is going to Take Advantage of now" was released for 1 month, and the physical sales exceeded 130,000 copies, setting a record for the best debut of newcomers in the same period.
The company hit the iron while it was hot, and at the end of the year, she released her second album "Promise Me", which sold 300,000 copies in 3 months. Li Wei, 19, also won the "Taiwan Top Ten Idol Best Newcomer Award".
In the following two years, Li Wei's albums and concerts were arranged by the company, smoothly and smoothly, and the company also voted for her with great fanfare to obtain a stage name "COCO Li Wei", after which "Li Meilin" withdrew from the historical stage, and Li Wei's era officially arrived.
However, although the company is very attentive, Li Wei still has a hard time saying a word.

The entertainment industry is a moment of east wind, a moment of west wind. Li Wei was eager to express himself, but he did not always get the notice as he wished. Sometimes when you come to the announcement of a variety show, you have to cover your face and drive a small yellow car with the teacher "Fei Yu pollution".
Sometimes to record new albums, it takes more than ten hours to travel between Tainan and Taipei, and I have to choose to start work in the early morning, because the studio charges the cheapest during this time.
When the concert was held, I happened to be sick and did not dare to go to the hospital with a high fever, because the fans and pigeons would be fined by the company, and it was not moral... Just endure and stay up, it was too tired, so that Li Wei gradually retreated.
She intends to return to campus and continue her unfinished studies.
At this time, her mother suggested that she continue to be a singer, because the school will always be there and will not run away, but the opportunity to be a singer will run away...
In 1996, Faye Wong's gold medal producer Yao Qian extended an olive branch to 21-year-old Li Wei and signed her into Sony Music. With the blessing of the big platform, a new musical chapter has begun.
Sony Music released Li Wei's self-titled albums Li Wei and CoCo's Party, which sold more than 530,000 copies in Taiwan in its first month of release.
That same year, 17-year-old Jay Chou was working in a restaurant, and 20-year-old Wang Lihong had just entered the Taiwanese pop music scene.
In 1998, dance music became a hit, and Li Wei released the music album "Di Da Di Hint". She flicked the hips of the electric motor and sang sexy and seductive songs, one after another, teasing the limits of the male audience's patience.
The new album became a hit, selling more than 1 million copies in three months, and "Color" on the album was designated as the theme song Chinese world cup.
This year, she sang the advertising song "Good Mood" and the film and television song "365 Days of Thinking of You", which was also extremely popular, and the concert was also energetic and led the trend.
Fans supported, the circle of evaluation is also good, 23-year-old Li Wei and Zhang Huimei, who won the record sales crown at the time, the north and south of the court.
And her love test battle with Zhang Ruizhe is becoming more and more intense. Zhang Ruizhe, who was born without a name, was under a lot of pressure, and Li Wei also felt powerless. But the boyfriend's leg-splitting object is a person she never expected.
Four
A few years later, Li Wei revealed his secret affair with Zhang Ruizhe to the world. It turned out that Zhang Ruizhe's leg-splitting object was Zhang Huichun, the sister of Zhang Huimei!
There is no way to examine how the two climbed the relationship, perhaps in Zhang Ruizhe's heart, Zhang Huichun, who sang a chorus to his sister at that time, was approachable and enthusiastic, and it was more relaxing to get along.
It's just that this fresh love affair lasted for a long time, and Zhang Ruizhe and the Hong Kong circle temperament beauty Lin Jiaxin passed on the scandal... Later, he probably wanted to understand life, so he married a rich woman in Taiwan, quit the circle and engaged in business, all in one go.
When Li Wei was split, Wang Lihong, who was 1 year younger than her, came to Sony Music on the colorful clouds and became her disciple.
Two young people who grew up drinking foreign milk, how to look, are very right, how to talk, are very right mouth. Every time the cooperation is fully committed to the fierce force, so that others can not understand whether it is to explore music, or to explore love...
Once, the two were arranged by the company to participate in a show, there was a matching game in the program, Li Wei lived up to the high expectations of the melon eating masses, chose Wang Lihong, and explained: "Wang Lihong can give me a sense of security."
The story of the talented lady begins. Unexpectedly, suddenly the plot changed suddenly, and a dark horse was killed in the slash.

At that time, there was a brother with a lot of talent, who was very close to Li Wei. He sent flowers and gifts, and finally sent a fiery heart, which stirred up the film in Taiwan's political, business and performing arts circles.
This person is Lien Shengwen, the son of Lien Chan. Later, when the Lien Chan family went to "Kangxi Lai", they were also interrogated by Xiao S about this scandal. Who knows, after the show, the gossip girlfriend of this brother has become a small S.
Anyway, no one has ever acknowledged anyone.
After several periods of scandal, Li Wei's figure sign has become more and more attractive, bee waist, hips, S curves, coupled with the style of sexy avant-garde, hot and unrestrained, ordinary people who can stand up?
Sure enough, Jay Chou, who was flesh and blood, did not resist.
In 2000, 21-year-old Jay Chou wrote a rather oriental song "Dao Ma Dan", which was selected by Li Wei and became the main song of her entry into the international market.
That year's Jay Chou, as soon as he debuted, was on fire, full of talent and self-congratulation, so that Li Wei's "love" who worked together burst out, a pair of "sisters and brothers" who were 4 years apart, in the music friction flooded with different feelings.
Only later, Jay Chou was busy writing songs for his sister Wen Lan and sister Jolin Tsai (see Wan Xiaodao's past selections for details: "Jay Chou's "Love Tornado"),, and Li Wei was also busy expanding the territory in the international market, and the balance of time gradually tilted.
At the end, it is nothing more than the end of the song.
However, the east corner of the lost, the harvest of mulberry, another man who assisted her in the international career is coming.

In 2001, Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon became the first foreign-language film in the history of American cinema to exceed $100 million at the box office, winning multiple awards at the annual Academy Awards.
Li Wei won the favor of Ang Lee with his unique voice, and sang the theme song of the film "Moonlight Lover". Under her interpretation, the song was full of emotion and femininity, and was selected to be sung on the Oscar stage.
Unprecedented in this matter, Li Wei became the first Chinese singer to sing at the Oscars. She deliberately dyed her yellow hair black and wore a red cheongsam that symbolized the beauty of oriental women.
Li Wei's natural voice has left a strong and colorful stroke on the international stage, elegant oriental style, and set off a wave of shareholders. Li Wei, 26, was named "The Light of the Chinese" by Time magazine in the United States.
In an interview with international media, Li Wei constantly stressed that he is a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin, and it is his mission to bring Chinese music to the world...
The domestic media fell in love and named Li Wei "Asian Song Queen" and "Electric Hip Queen". She appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala, sang the song "Good Mood", and was named "Asia's 50 Most Influential People" by Asia Weekly.
The company is full of confidence, tailor-made international models for her, and marches towards the road of internationalization.
As a result, the relationship blossomed first.
In 2002, 27-year-old Li Wei and 25-year-old An Zhijie were in love after filming the MV "Enough with You". An Zhijie, who was born in the United States, fell in love with Li Wei at first sight and fell infatuated.
The age difference is 2 years, which is not a big deal. But An Zhijie, who has just debuted, compared with Li Wei, has a shallow life experience. It didn't take long for Li Wei to feel breathless.
Because An Zhijie is too clingy, he also wants to see him day and night, Li Wei has lacked father love since he was a child, and he wanted to find a "father", but the result was a "child".
The breakup is natural, even if An Zhijie borrows wine all day long to dispel his sorrows, there is no room for retention.
The fate of life is also nine twists and eighteen turns, and for some reason, after Li Wei was traumatized by feelings, the favor of fate suddenly disappeared.
Seven
With the blessing of the Oscar influence, Li Wei's international path began to go smoothly, issuing a high-profile single, singing the theme song of popular film and television dramas, and successfully squeezing into the Hollywood music circle.
See which international celebrities are at the top of her circle of friends: Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Beckham & Bay Sister-in-law...
It is said that she also had intimate friction with Ricky Martin, who has always admired the "Latin electric buttocks", in cooperation, but unfortunately the other party is a GAY.
Let's take a look at what Chinese firsts she has achieved: she is the first Chinese singer to release an English album in the world, the first Chinese singer to sing in the NBA, the only Asian female singer invited to a Michael Jackson concert...
However, squeezing the head, it can only be like this. How can a yellow person play with the law of the jungle formulated by the white world?
The base of her original fame has collapsed into a "replica". Yao Qian, who once held her red in one hand, discovered Xiao Yaxuan, whose "boyfriend is always young", and personally managed and cloned Li Wei's successful path.
In 2004, the 29-year-old Li Wei returned to Hong Kong and collaborated with Jacky Cheung on an anti-smoking public welfare film "Ten Thousand Wisps of Tobacco", directed by Zheng Yijian and supervised by Guan Jinpeng.
Guan Jinpeng looked at Li Wei in the camera and said to her very seriously: "COCO, you can really consider filming." ”
With the affirmation and encouragement of Director Guan, Li Wei began to pick the script, and finally took over the film "Self-Amusement" directed by Li Xin. This Li Xin comes from a family of directors, and it is crazy to shoot movies.
He asked Li Wei to play the "village girl", and then invited Zun Long, the most famous Chinese actor in Hollywood at that time, to play a "farmer", and the taste of this huge contrast was very sour.
However, no matter how the two pretend and act, they cannot hide the urban temperament on their bodies.
Li Wei is still delayed in entering the role, her wrist is so big, the director does not dare to scold, but also afraid that she is too nervous, after each shooting is loudly applauded... Inside and outside the play, it is really a complete "self-amusement".
Although before the film started, Li Wei specially spent a lot of money to invite professional tutors from the United States to learn acting, and in the process of filming, he also worked hard to complete all the action scenes. However, she is still very aware that:
Being a "song and shadow" artist is not what you think.
Not long after the release of "Self-Entertainment", Li Wei was brewing a new album while pulling back the curtain of her love with the rich brother of Hong Kong...
Eight
In May 2004, Hong Kong media tracked down Li Wei and Huo Zhenting's eldest son, Huo Qigang, at 4:00 a.m. at Pu Central Nightclub, and the scandal was about to come out.
At that time, it coincided with Huo Qigang's younger brother Huo Qishan and Zhang Ziyi kissing each other on the street, so there was a bold speculation that Li Wei might become a concubine with Zhang Ziyi...
But it is clear that the melon-eating masses have become sentimental. Because of this year, Li Wei's true destiny appeared.
Li Wei, 29, and Bruce, a wealthy Canadian businessman, 45, fell in love at first sight at a party. Bruce was said to have not yet divorced his wife.
The two fell in love for 9 months, and after the divorce, Bruce proposed marriage with a 9-carat diamond ring, and Li Wei agreed at first, and then repented. It's not because Bruce has been married and dragged two daughters...
But because Li Wei grew up in a single-parent family, he was a bit "marriage phobia".
The marriage dragged on for several years, and those who were married had already left, and they were still in love.
During this period, Li Wei signed a new record company, released many new albums, won many awards, held global concerts, and sang at major festivals.
She finally made up her mind and walked into the marriage hall with Bruce.
In 2011, 36-year-old Li Wei and 52-year-old Bruce spent $150 million on a lavish century wedding in Hong Kong. Celebrities gathered among the guests, bringing together hundreds of Hollywood stars, and the scene was like a "Grammy Awards Ceremony".
After marriage, Li Wei often showed love in a high profile and arranged surprises every day. For Bruce's birthday, it can take a year to prepare, and he also specially invited his first love girlfriend, which surprised Bruce and moved him to tears...
Men love to remember to death, and they can't quit the addiction of first love.
Behind these happy marriage pictures, it is full of Li Wei's bitterness and difficulty. In order to experience first-hand what it's like to be a mother, she has experienced 9 artificial inseminations... Unfortunately, they all ended in failure.
This journey of seeking children, in the end, as I grew older, helplessly came to the end.
Later, Li Wei became less and less happy, and there was more chicken soup for the soul in the social text, saying that he should love himself a little more, saying that life was not satisfactory, and also cut the short hair that he did not dare to try before.
Netizens who love gossip, between these unusual words, smell the breath of marriage change, and there is a great potential for mountain rain to come to the wind and fill the building.
Whether marriage has become difficult to speculate, but the end of love is nine out of ten, life is always full of contradictions, even if it is the combination of rich businessmen and stars, it is inevitable that chai rice oil and salt will inevitably be in marriage, and it is inevitable to stumble... It's hard to complete.
Can Li Wei, who has won the "International Most Popular Chinese Artist Award" many times, break the rumors with actions, and can she "tomorrow be better" like the song she sang on the stage of the 2021 Spring Festival Gala?
People who truly love each other have their own way of getting along. Every middle-aged man with a light wind and clouds, every seemingly happy and happy marriage, is reborn in the constant twists and turns!
