When it comes to the image of female ghosts in film and television, many people will think of Wang Zuxian's Nie Xiaoqian, poignant and moving; or the female ghost played by Wang Xiaofeng in "Mr. Zombie", beautiful and beautiful. Most of the female ghosts they play are gentle and kind, and they are pitiful.
However, in that year, there was also an actress who was equally famous with Wang Zuxian and Wang Xiaofeng, known as the "female ghost professional household", but most of the female ghosts she played were evil and vicious, becoming the childhood nightmare of countless people, she was Xu Shuyuan.
Born in 1959 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Xu Shuyuan's aunt told her in her ear from an early age: You are born beautiful, and you want to be a model or flight attendant when you grow up.
It was under the influence of these words that Xu Shuyuan went to a modeling school after graduating from high school at the age of 18. Because she did not know Hokkien, Xu Shuyuan knew that there was no future in Kaohsiung, and when she was 20 years old, she came to Taipei alone to shoot advertisements and became famous.
Soon, Xu Shuyuan and Lin Qingxia and other Taiwanese actresses came to Hong Kong with good hopes to develop and enter the film and television circle.
During the Taiwanese period, Xu Shuyuan made several films, but most of them were supporting roles or cameos.
Xu Shuyuan's film debut was 1981 adaptation of Gu Long's wuxia novel "Famous Sword Flow", and since then he has appeared in two films, namely the martial arts film "Royal Sword Voldemort" and the mythological film "Sun Wukong vs. Flying Man Country".
Among them, "Sun Wukong vs Flying Man Kingdom" is adapted from the chapters of "Journey to the West" such as "Che Chi Guo Dou Fa" and "Spider Spirit", which is an earlier film adapted from "Journey to the West", and the special effects fight now seems to be naturally relatively low-quality, and the plot is also more thunderous.
In 1983, he starred in the movie "Wind Full Of Building, Love Full of Building", in 1984, Xu Shuyuan and Wang Zuxian first cooperated, starring in Wang Zuxian's film debut "Ghost by the Lake", in which Wang Zuxian and the female ghost "got together", and rumors spread out; and Xu Shuyuan is still a less famous supporting role.
In the same year, she played the dancer Zhu Feng in the Taiwanese version of "The Last Night of Jin Daban".
In 1985, Xu Shuyuan ushered in a major change in her acting career, as a new star, she was invited to star in the Shaw erotic film "Modern Luxuriant Woman", in which Xu Shuyuan starred as a supermodel, feminine and sexy; Xu Shuyuan became famous with this and won the title of "Modern Flamboyant Woman".
"Modern Extravagant Girl" is Xu Shuyuan's first third-level film and the only one.
In 1986, Xu Shuyuan was appreciated by Wang Jing and filmed the horror movies "Fierce Cat" and "Ghost Catch".
"Fierce Cat" is another horror masterpiece produced by Yu Yunkang after "Murder List", in the film Xu Shuyuan plays a company employee, who is later possessed by the Nine Lives Cat Demon and uses this body to confuse everyone, sexy and charming, full of charm. Xu Shuyuan vividly interpreted the fierce Nine-Life Cat Demon and became a childhood nightmare for countless people.
In Wang Jing's comedy ghost film "Ghost Catch", Xu Shuyuan once again cooperated with Wang Zuxian, playing a female secretary in the building. Xu Shuyuan, who is a model, shows a sexy figure, plays a female secretary with a variety of styles, and becomes her minion after being selected by the Ghost King, seducing people with beauty and killing them.
Whether it is the cat demon in "Fierce Cat" or the female ghost in "Ghost Catch", Xu Shuyuan has acted very well, which has also established her status as a female ghost, after which Xu Shuyuan has starred in a number of horror movies, and has become a "ghost film professional household" with Wang Xiaofeng and Wang Zuxian.
In addition, Xu Shuyuan also starred in horror movies such as "Early Morning Dinner", "Haunted by Ghosts" and "Happy Ghost Spirits", but in addition to the quality of "Early Morning Dinner", most of them are shoddy.
In 1987, Xu Shuyuan returned to Taiwan to star in the Eight O'Clock TV series "Rose Life" with Gu Guanzhong, and then stayed on Taiwan to develop, and played the drama class grandma in the "Peacock Guts" unit of the 93rd edition of "Bao Qingtian".
1995 Xu Shuyuan in "Life Drama Exhibition - Abba! I carried you to the theater" to play the role of Xiu Jing.
In 1998, when Xu Shuyuan went abroad to perform, the host jokingly wanted to introduce her to her "boyfriend", and this boyfriend was his future husband Zou Jiajun.
Xu Shuyuan fell in love with Zou Jiajun at first sight, and soon after the two married and faded out of the entertainment circle. Xu Shuyuan, who is married to the United States, and her husband Zou Jiajun run two Chinese restaurants.
Speaking from the heart, Xu Shuyuan does not have a beautiful face, so the female ghost she plays is not as gentle and kind as Wang Xiaofeng and Wang Zuxian. However, Xu Shuyuan, who is a model, is tall, sexy and feminine, coupled with her cold expression and good acting skills, but can interpret the charming evil female ghost beautifully.
Most of the female ghosts played by Xu Shuyuan reveal their evil prototypes under the ten thousand styles, which makes people fearful, and she also leaves a childhood shadow in the hearts of many people.
Today, Xu Shuyuan's family is happy, and although she has settled abroad, she often returns to Taiwan and occasionally participates in some programs.
Xu Shuyuan has made more than thirty movies and hundreds of TV series, but many of them are supporting roles, and although she is extremely popular, she has never been popular, although if, the memory of her role to the audience is eternal.
