Liu Ximing, a veteran Hong Kong star of the same era as Zhang Weijian and Zheng Xiuwen, may be strange to many post-90s and post-00s to ask: "Who is he?" ”
If not, he appeared in the just-launched web drama "Three Thousand Crows Killing" and played an emperor who received a box lunch in the second episode (the father of the heroine Zhao Lusi), I am afraid we can not remember: this current emperor, father and villain professional household, once almost became the king of heaven.

Who remembers? 30 years ago, he was regarded by TVB as the successor of "Andy Lau", as a small student of the family, he was praised, the star path was bright, gu Tianle was once just his follower... But just because of the sentence "I appreciate Zhou Huimin", it suffered a three-year-long large-scale smear, thus rewriting the entire pattern of life.
After 17 years, Liu Ximing only got the apology of the initiator, and was mistaken by a sentence for a lifetime, is there still hatred in his heart?
Liu Ximing, whose ancestral home is Chaoyang, Guangdong, was born in July 1964 and is 55 years old this year.
He has a "Chinese character face", and the whole person is permeated with a righteous spirit, which is exactly the type of small student that Wireless urgently needed after Andy Lau left the nest.

Liu Ximing, who graduated from the Department of Music, was one of the few professional colleges among Hong Kong singers of that era, so in 1987, when the 23-year-old Liu Ximing participated in the sixth rookie singing competition, he won the second place with a jacky Cheung's "Love Has Passed".
Subsequently, Liu Ximing joined WIRELESS, together with Lin Wenlong, Chen Jiahui, Zhang Weijian, and called himself "Son of the Sun", and in 1988, he filmed two series in succession, "Oath not to bow down" and "No Longer When You Are Not Teenagers".
In 1989, "Ni Junjie", who played in "Duty", was a crazy fan of Liu Ximing, and many people remembered the most perfect role in the whole play: smart, talented, and handsome.
Therefore, when Ni Junjie was killed by Ding Youkang, many viewers called the TV station and said that it was difficult to accept that such a perfect character had such a tragic ending.
"Duty- and Unforgiving" brought Hong Kong drama into the Golden Age, and Liu Ximing also became a popular student with the role of "Ni Junjie".
While filming the drama, he also sent songs, "Is it a debt is a dream" and "How Do You Give Me Sadness" to this day, and won him the 1991 Wireless "Golden Song" Newcomer Gold Award.
TVB began to cultivate Liu Ximing in the direction of "Andy Lau's successor", and such descendants as Gu Tianle were arranged to be Liu Ximing's "followers".
That year, at a concert in Guangzhou, Liu Ximing, Jackie Chan, Jacky Cheung, Grasshopper, etc. as performing guests, were assigned by TVB to be an assistant "small follower", and Liu Ximing's one was called Gu Tianle.
He had a very good impression of this "plain-looking" little handsome guy, so he asked Gu Tianle why he didn't shoot a scene? Gu Tianle said: "I don't have a chance", so Liu Ximing recommended Gu Tianle to a well-known producer he knew.
In 1995, Gu Tianle met Liu Ximing again, and he has become popular with "Divine Eagle Hero", and Liu Ximing is very pleased: "I didn't help him anything, today it all depends on Gu Zai's own efforts, I see people accurately." ”
From this small matter, we can see one of the advantages of Liu Ximing's personality: humble and low-key, not arrogant, so the popularity in the circle for many years is excellent.
Although from 1988 to 1993, Liu Ximing spent only five years in TVB, during that time he opened three or four groups of filming at the same time, and the highly intensive work accumulated a lot of acting experience for him.
He has worked with several popular actresses, such as Zhou Huimin and Li Jiaxin. These two female stars have one thing in common: they have been in love with Ni Zhen.
Who is Ni Zhen? One of the four talents of Xiangjiang, the son of the writer Ni Kuang, and the nephew of the romance novel writer Yi Shu, the family has a pen, and he is quite talented when he was a teenager.
Ni Zhen founded "YES! Magazine was a must-read for many post-80s, and in the entertainment industry, using the rights of the editor-in-chief to carry out a large-scale smear of an artist, it also set a precedent from Ni Zhen.
The reason is that in 1990, Liu Ximing and Zhou Huimin cooperated in TVB's Taiwanese drama "Ujin Blood Sword", and the two partnered with the male and female protagonists.
During the publicity period, as the male protagonist, he was asked how he felt about his partner, liu Ximing was on the radio program at the time, and was asked: "Is Zhou Huimin your favorite girlfriend type?" He replied out of politeness: "I appreciate Zhou Huimin", unexpectedly, this sentence aroused the nameless fire in Ni Zhen's heart.
Now it seems that Liu Ximing has never pursued Zhou Huimin, but Ni Zhen has such a huge reaction, but it is a kind of possessiveness!
Since then, Liu Ximing has been nicknamed "Cancer Ming" by this magazine, and spared no effort to smear him for three consecutive years.
How exaggerated are the means of smear? For example, if he wears his head down and ties his shoelaces, it is written as peeping at the bottom of a passerby's skirt; when he goes to the mall to buy a computer, it is written as going to buy spring.
At first, Ni Zhen was just trying to vent his anger, but later found that as long as he wrote "cancerous tumor ming", sales were very good, so he simply and completely lost the bottom line as a media person and as a person.
The title of "Cancerous Tumor Ming" followed Liu Ximing for three years.
What about Zhou Huimin? He loved Ni Zhen too much, and never publicly defended Liu Ximing for three years, until after Liu Ximing decided to leave TVB, he finally called Liu Ximing and apologized to him.
At that time, Zhou Huimin said to Liu Ximing: "I know that he (Ni Zhen) wrote like this, not about the triangular relationship, but after writing, the magazine is very good to sell, so continue to write, I have advised Ni Zhen, but he does not listen." ”
Liu Ximing said to Zhou Huimin on the phone, "Forget it", but the pressure of being scolded by the whole city as "cancerous tumor Ming" has made him unable to bear it, walking on the street, provoking and teasing from strangers, making Liu Ximing "really hurt".
In 1993, TVB changed the boss and wanted to re-sign the contract, although Liu Ximing was given favorable conditions, but he felt that the terms were too overbearing, so he withdrew and wanted to change the pier to start over.
It just so happened that at that time, Taiwanese producer Wang Changli graciously invited him to develop, and also sent him a first-class ticket, so he went to Taiwan with the attitude of giving it a try.
"Sure enough, it was a desperate situation!" Liu Ximing said that when he first arrived in Taiwan in 1995, he won the honor of Taiwan's top ten idols, and then released an album of "Moonlight", which achieved excellent results of selling 200,000 copies.
There are also two classic dramas of "Shanghai Tango" in 1996 and "Qinghe Love" in 2000.

In particular, Zhao Wenzhuo and Jiang Qinqin starred in "Qinghe Absolute Love", in which he starred in a perverted villain "Liang Yongchang", which is simply the best interpretation of the term "Sven scum" and has become the childhood shadow of many post-80s audiences.
In the past few years in Taiwan, Liu Ximing's biggest gain is undoubtedly to marry the love of his life.
Zhang Qiling, also a television producer, was born in 1972, 8 years younger than him.
In 1995, Liu Ximing met Zhang Qiling, who was still in college, and after five years of falling in love, the two registered for marriage in Xiangjiang in March 2001.
Nowadays, it seems that Liu Ximing is more worthy of the word "good man" than Ni Zhen.
Zhang Qiling praised her husband for being very single-minded: "In fact, people who really know him will feel that he is very stable and very dedicated to feelings." ”
When the two got married, Liu Ximing said: "I have only been married once in my life."
Sure enough, he has been married to his beloved wife for nearly 20 years, and he is still as loving as ever, and he was once named "Twenty-four Filial Husband and Father" by the media that posthumously photographed him.
The couple has a daughter, named Liu Anqing, born in 2002 and 18 years old this year.
"If you are well, it will be a sunny day", the daughter's name hides the deep love of the couple.
Liu Ximing once took his daughter on the show "Daddy Please Answer", and the program saw the way their father and daughter got along, just one word: pet.
In 2004, in order to give his wife and daughter a better life, Liu Ximing came to the mainland to develop, because there was no network, it was a few years of hard life.
A magazine once reported: "He eats instant noodles, biscuits, boiled water, earns a few thousand yuan to 20,000 yuan a month, and gives his family 10,000 yuan a month" "He bargained with the vendors and bought four ties for 80 yuan." ”

Fortunately, he always has the ability to survive in a desperate situation, can bear hardships, be practical, and more importantly, have good acting skills.
As a result, we gradually saw his figure in many big IPs, Duan Zhengchun in "Tianlong Eight Parts", Shi Qing in "New Hero Guest Line", Yi Poverty in "Immortal Sword Cloud Fan", and Tuoba Tao in "Splendid Wei Yang".
With the gradual stabilization of his acting career, Liu Ximing also expanded his side business, opened his own restaurant, and became the boss.
On the other hand, Ni Zhen and Zhou Huimin, in 2008, became the focus of public opinion because Ni Zhen secretly kissed Zhang Mao, and for a time there was no end to the scolding of Ni Zhen's "scumbag".
Ni Zhenfa openly apologized, claiming that because of his lack of security, he would only say a word for Liu Ximing, using his best-selling magazine to bully people, and now that the incident occurred, he finally believed in the cycle of cause and effect, and the causes planted in those years have now been repaid.
Finally, after 17 years, Ni Zhen finally gave Liu Ximing a belated apology!
At that time, a reporter went to interview Liu Ximing and asked him: Do you still resent Ni Zhen?
Liu Ximing said: "I have been relieved for a long time, but my mother hates him very much, probably because she hurts me too much." The night before I had dinner with my mother and advised her not to get angry anymore, she said, 'It's been more than ten years, Ni Zhen is only apologizing now?' ’”
Reporter asked: Do you think this apology will be too late?
Liu Ximing said: "Late is a little late, but I can accept it, the only regret I have is that I have not had time to go back to Hong Kong to accompany my mother for more than ten years, and I feel very guilty." But there is no way, there are still wives and children to raise. ”
Today, Zhou Huimin and Ni Zhen are still together after being separated and merged, but the two have made Dink and have never had their children.
Liu Ximing's family of three has turned the love story of big stars and small fans into an ordinary but tasteful life in the red dust.
Liu Ximing once held Zhang Qiling's hand and went on a talk show hosted by Yingda, saying that he was completely "suppressed" by his wife after marriage, earning money outside the home and cooking inside the home.
Such two lives, two kinds of marriages, which one is sweeter and happier? It can only be said: such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge.
Now that the three protagonists of the "Cancerous Ming Incident" are all more than half a hundred years old, the melon-eating masses can't help but have this assumption -
Zhou Huimin, if she hadn't followed Ni Zhen, would her life have been different?
If Liu Ximing had not been smeared by Ni Zhen for such a long time, would his life have been different?
Unfortunately, the "Andy Lau successor" whose song was full of affection and good acting skills did not finally succeed Andy Lau's class, and the little heel Gu Tianle, who had been mentioned by him, became a generation of heroes and golden movie emperors.
And Liu Ximing himself? He said of his own half of his life: "Saion lost his horse, and he knew that it was not a blessing." ”
On the set, he played the emperor and played various supporting roles of his father, and at home, there were women who were happy and sweet.
All times are also fate, good beginnings and ends!
