The Shadow of the Woman, The Princess Of The Soul, Japanese Ghost · In the story (1987), Wang Zuo-on-on-ed Yuzhuang.
A beautiful woman, in more than a decade with this world drunk with gold fans, in a very serious conversation about a love, but finally found that everything is nothing like a dream bubble, the reason why her image of the classical female ghost is so heartwarming, is it a successful example of film marketing, or a doomed cause and effect. A female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian returned to the human world in 1987 with the help of an actress named Wang Zuxian.
In "Liaozhai Zhiyi", Pu Songling once described the beauty of this female ghost: the muscles reflect the flowing xia, the feet are fine bamboo shoots, the day is seen, and the delicacy is endless. These four sentences are mainly saying that Nie Xiaoqian's skin is good and her feet are good-looking. When classical Chinese beauties talk about sexiness, they often fall on two slender feet, and the rest is completely left to the reader's imagination.

In the three "Qiannu Ghost" series directed by Xu Ke and directed by Cheng Xiaodong, Wang Zuxian's sexy beauty is beyond imagination. In the first part of "Qiannu Ghost" (1987), Wang Zuxian plays a female ghost controlled by a tree demon, she lures the men who have stayed overnight in the past with beauty in an abandoned ancient temple, sucks their semen and blood to feed the millennium tree demon, Zhang Guorong plays the scholar Ning Caichen, pure love and kindness, he and Xiao Qian fall in love at first sight, with a touching human ghost love, dissolving the frightening demons and crimes.
Wang Zuxian, who starred in "Ghost of a Woman", was twenty years old at the time, and the beauty of pure love and maturity were all at its peak, but in fact, Wang Zuxian, who was tall and brown-eyed, was not a typical Classical Chinese beauty, she was more in line with the aesthetic needs of modern people, and this aesthetic had actually greatly integrated the definition of the beauty of the fantasy in European, American and Japanese culture.

This kind of beauty can hardly exist in real life, but with a strong mysterious and magical color, and this point coincides with the world of ghosts and foxes described in "Liaozhai Zhiyi", and those goblins and ghosts described by Pu Songling are not exactly the wanton fantasies of the beauty of impossible women in his time?
Although the aesthetic standards of the two eras have been completely different, fantasy, especially male fantasy itself, is not different. The success of "Ghost of a Woman" once again witnessed the great charm and influence of Hong Kong films of that era, with this film, Wang Zuxian was not only popular throughout the Chinese world, but also throughout East Asia. In Japan and South Korea, Wang Zuxian's fans have been able to relish the series of female ghost images she has created until now. Especially in Japan, as long as it is her film, it is all accepted according to the order, and no Hong Kong actress will be loved by Japanese audiences like her, and it is a guarantee at the box office.
This set of "Ghost of a Lady/ チャイニーズ· ゴースト· The Japanese version of the "ストーリー" series of DVDs, except for the second part, which hides the image of Wang Zuxian on the cover, the other two are still based on Wang Zuxian's female ghost image as a selling point
Wang Zuxian is the most beautiful oriental woman recognized by many viewers, her eyes are clear and quiet like autumn water, and her pigment is better than the moonlight. Her unique style changes endlessly in the flickering of montages: sometimes elegant and delicate like daffodils, sometimes brilliant and bright like peach blossoms, sometimes poignant and cold like cold plums, sometimes charming and enchanting like roses. She is more like a Langyuan fairy that has fallen into red dust, a manjushahua that never stops.
Wang Zuxian in the movie often appears in a mysterious and flowing image. The most classic moment is when Yi Renying, dressed in ancient costumes, appears in the cold and gloomy night. A long hair as dark as a waterfall, white clothes win the snow, light yarn, no trace of fireworks, especially her beautiful costume in "Ghost of a Woman" looks like a demon is more immortal, it can be said that no one has reached it so far.
In the 1993 selection of the world's top ten male and female stars by the famous Japanese magazine ROADSHOW, Wang Zuxian was the only female star in Asia to be shortlisted for the top ten female stars in the eighth place
She was a super-first-class actress active in the Asian film industry in that era, and the films she starred in in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and the whole of Southeast Asia, all of which had a huge impact, she earned countless real money and silver for the Hong Kong film industry with such a poignant female ghost image, and her acting career was getting narrower and narrower on this ghostly road.
In the South Korean high-scoring TV series "Please Answer 1988응답하라 1988" (2015), there have been many Hong Kong films, and famous movie stars such as Cheung Kwok Wing, Chow Yun Fat, Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung were also warmly sought after in South Korea at that time, and even the billboard of Fa Ge can be found at the bus stop, so the two girlfriends of Deshan in the play are named "Zu Xian" and one is named "Manyu". It can be seen how popular Wang Zuxian is in the hearts of Korean film fans.

"Ghost of a Woman" allows Koreans to regard Wang Zuxian as a sexy representative, from artists to ordinary people, many people have been her fans since childhood, including Rain, Kim So-yeon, Park Eun-hye and so on. South Koreans' love for Wang Zuxian is even reflected in other Korean dramas: in "Shang Dao, Go to School", starring Rain, "Shang Dao, Go to School 상두야 학교가자" (2003), Shang Dao shows a picture of Wang Zuxian to his daughter Baoli, and keeps lying to her that it is her mother.
Wang Zuxian's last film, Beautiful Shanghai (2004), was exhibited at the Gwangju Film Festival in South Korea in 2004, and although Wang Zuxian himself did not attend the event, the screening was packed. The Japanese call Wang Zuxian the most beautiful leg in Asia and the most beautiful Chinese actress in South Korea.

In November 1990, Wang Zuxian was promoted to the most popular foreign actress selected by Japan's Road Show ROADSHOW magazine. For many years, Hong Kong actresses have squeezed into the charts of such magazines, mostly by co-producing films with Jackie Chan, and films starring big-name actresses such as Zhong Chuhong, Maggie Cheung, and Zheng Yuling often "died ugly" at the box office.
Only Wang Zuxian can make a name for himself in Japan without jackie chan. Wang Zuxian launched films such as "Millennium Banshee" (1990) and "Spirit Fox" (1991) with her as the promotional point in the cold period, which actually had a good box office. Wang Zuxian's ethereal, sexy and slightly cool appearance was most appreciated by the Audience of Toei, so frame after frame of photos with a cool summer style constantly appeared in the sight of Japanese audiences.

On February 1, 1992, Wang Zuxian signed a contract with Kao of Japan and became the company's image model. Wang Zuxian's long hair has always been one of her weapons, and in her acting career, she has shot at least four shampoo commercials that also include Shiseido, Isili, and Lux, which can be said to be a record. In 1993, Japan voted the world's top ten most popular female stars, and Wang Zuxian ranked 8th, the only female star in Asia to enter the top 10.
Wang Zuxian, with a beautiful female ghost shape of "Qiannu Ghost", has been popular for many years as soon as she is red, and she can still rely on female ghost roles to become box office stars, which is really an outlier in the film world. After "Qiannu Ghost", Wang Zuxian starred in two other parts of the trilogy series, "Qiannu Ghost's Human Road" (1990) and "Qiannu Ghost's Way of Dao" (1991).

In "The Way of Man", Wang Zuxian plays not a female ghost, but a famous daughter who fell into distress, and between her and Ning Caichen, a scholar played by Zhang Guorong, came together because of a series of misunderstandings, although the role is not a female ghost, in fact, this woman named Fu Qingfeng is still the embodiment of Nie Xiaoqian in "Qiannu Ghost".
After "The Way of the World", in the third part of "The Ghost of Qiannu", "Dao Dao", Wang Zuxian partnered with Liang Chaowei to continue to stage the bizarre story of the unfinished love of people and ghosts, in this crazy sequel, the sexy traits of Wang Zuxian's body were vigorously expressed, but interestingly, Wang Zuxian played these promiscuous female ghosts but never gave people a dirty feeling.

Her sexy beauty, no matter at any time is the fusion of pure love, noble temperament, her beauty is the fusion of angels and devils, women who can have such a temperament, it is indeed difficult to produce a few in a hundred years, and in the Hong Kong film industry at that time, there were actually a number of such female stars, and Wang Zuxian was probably lin Qingxia, Maggie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong and others, they have different characteristics, and can not be copied (the current Chinese actress is basically a thousand people), and Wang Zuxian is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating male audiences.
The Japanese call Wang Zuxian "the goblin of Hong Kong". It should be said that the two best-selling films of Wang Zuxian in Japan are the first and second parts of the "Ghost of a Woman" series, which have been re-screened countless times in Japanese cinemas alone, and the posters of these two Japanese versions of the film are also very numerous, and the subsequent Japanese videotapes, DVDs and Blu-ray versions are also countless, which is enough to show the weight and influence of these two films in the hearts of Japanese audiences, and at the same time bring considerable money to Hong Kong film companies.

While starring in the "Ghost of a Woman" series, Wang Zuxian also played similar roles in many of the same type of ghost films, all of which are long-haired, ethereal and mournful, and soul-stirring female ghost images, although most of them are imitations, but this just proves that Wang Zuxian already has a classic image that people can't get tired of.
In the Hong Kong film circle in the 1990s, Wang Zuxian was an actress known for her diligence, while taking over a large number of films, she would also take the initiative to choose some of her favorite roles, in fact, her cooperation with the famous director Xu Ke, it is the result of this initiative, "Qiannu Ghost" is a film starring Wang Zuxian launched by Xu Ke's film studio, and then in addition to the "Qiannu Ghost" series, Wang Zuxian also starred in a number of films produced by film studios, including many classics.

In 1993, Wang Zuxian followed director Hu Jinquan to the mainland, and after several months of ice and snow, he finally completed the film "The Yin and Yang King of the Painted Skin", which is another story of Liaozhai, wang Zuxian played another female ghost role in the film without accident. Released in September 1993, the film grossed more than HK$300,000, ranking only 117th that year.
"The Yin and Yang King of the Painted Skin" is a failure at both the box office and the word of mouth, but for Wang Zuxian, the cooperation with the film master Hu Jinquan is of course no regrets, in this movie, although Wang Zuxian is still a female ghost, but under the shaping of Hu Jinquan, her performance has never had a simple and solemn temperament, which is completely different from the magnificent and frivolous comic style of Xu Ke's film, but it must be admitted that only Xu Ke can shape Wang Zuxian's beauty with demagogic charm. This is the style that a new commercial movie star should have.
The Shadow of the Paintings, The Demon World Legend of Joy Wong (1993) The Seal of the Japanese Shadow
Released in the same year as "The Yin and Yang King of Painted Skins", another ghost blockbuster that was later regarded as a classic, "Green Snake" (1993). "Green Snake" is not a film with Wang Zuxian as the core, in Li Bihua's original novel, the first-person narrator is the sister of the white snake, the green snake, and in the movie, Xiao Qing, played by Maggie Cheung, is also the main character of the narrative, whether it is a movie or a novel, it has an anti-traditional postmodern style.
This makes it extremely difficult for Bai Suzhen, played by Wang Zuxian, to have room for in-depth expansion, but the final result of the film "Green Snake" is that Wang Zuxian's white snake and Maggie Cheung's green snake are on a par with each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between this pair of sisters in such a film with strong taste, enchanting position, and eccentricity, leaving an eternal classic female image for Hong Kong films.
The movie "Green Snake/Green Snake" (1993) Japanese video version of the cover - it is obvious that Wang Zuxian as the main star presented on the cover, while Maggie Cheung was basically ignored, while the international version of the cover was directly based on Maggie Cheung's entire face in the movie
The French DVD version of the Hong Kong film "Green Snake" (1993) is completely based on the image of Maggie Cheung in the film
In the past, the positioning of the White Snake in the "Legend of the White Snake" was often a typical good family woman, although she was changed by the snake spirit, but she knew more about the ethics and morality of male superiority and female inferiority, husband and son, and from one end to the end than most mortal women. "Green Snake" is very different from the novel to the movie, in the positioning of the character of the White Lady, the first thing that stands out is her characteristics as a "snake demon". A snake has been cultivating for a thousand years and has come to the world, and there are only four words to do: the great desire of man.

In terms of emotions, she is sophisticated, transparent and open-minded, and she has transcended life and death and controlled love with ease. Xu Xian, this young man who lives on the edge of the West Lake, on the age of Bai Suzhen's great-grandson is too small, the reason why he was selected, is entirely because of his duty to be honest, easy to get along with, the subtext here is: men are the same, find a reliable best, this is a typical "mature female characteristics", the treatment of emotions can be done calmly, the enthusiasm in the drapery is like fire, with a strong self-entertainment component.
Women are not giving themselves, but greedily grabbing God-given pleasures. 26-year-old Wang Zuxian, whether physical or mental, just happens to be in a very suitable time with the role, the profession of actor is often so, acting skills are sometimes the least critical thing, at a specific time to meet a specific role, the time and place are favorable and can achieve the highest peak of art, and usually this peak is absolutely impossible to replicate, because time goes on, the past can never be repeated.

Perhaps because of the long-term appearance of such films with the content of "ghost magic", Wang Zuxian's personal thoughts and feelings have also undergone subtle but radical changes.
In some interviews, we found that she pays more attention to the inner aura of people, the vagaries of life, the mysteries of fate and cause and effect, and so on, which are very religious topics. Wang Zuxian himself became a devout Buddhist. In the midst of the ice fields and snowy mountains, finding the true meaning of life is a choice made by this woman who has secretly and quickly experienced the joys and sorrows of life.
The theme song of the Chinese version of "Green Snake" is composed by Huang Xia, and Xin Xiaoqi sang "Life Is So". The ethereal and concise tunes and far-reaching lyrics seem to be a background for Wang Zuxian's life. In fact, after "Green Snake", Wang Zuxian greatly reduced the number of films he took over, especially ghost films, and has not taken over since 1993.
In the movies "Smiling Proud of jianghu 2: The East is undefeated" (1992) and "The Undefeated Rise of the East" (1993), Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian are undefeated in the East
In the movie "East Evil and West Poison" (1994), Wang Zuxian's appearance is the same as Lin Qingxia, but unfortunately, wong Kar-wai finally deleted all the scenes

The ethereal temperament of Wang Zuxian's body had been internalized and integrated into her soul, and she did not need to take it out and share it with others, she had already built a secret garden in her heart and hidden it deeply. The grumpy fox fairy and the pure female ghost are the indelible screen images left by Wang Zuxian in people's hearts. However, people often overlook another Wang Zuxian, that is, Wang Zuxian in some comedies, action movies, and martial arts films. In these films, she shows the characteristics of vitality, cheerfulness and humor rarely seen in ghost films.
There is no doubt that Wang Zuxian is one of the most beautiful actresses in the Chinese film industry, and if she had not retired early, her achievements in the show business circle would be comparable to Lin Qingxia. Her beauty was once so radiant; the beautiful arc she left behind, like Nie Xiaoqian in "The Ghost of Qiannu", lit up the hearts of many movie fans, illuminated an era, and is still fascinating to think of.
