Recently, the variety show "Sister Please Eat", which gathered "Hong Kong Pu F4" Cai Shaofen, Zhu Yin, Chen Farong and Hong Xin, was frequently searched, and four Hong Kong-style beauties represented their sisters in the show, especially "Niangniang" Cai Shaofen, who played her funny talent to the extreme, which made people can't help but be funny.
Seeing the optimistic Cai Shaofen on the screen, it is difficult for you to imagine that when she was 15 years old, she was forced by her mother to step into the show business circle, almost went astray to repay her mother's huge gambling debts, and finally had no choice but to break off relations with her mother.
Fortunately, Niangniang later met Zhang Jin and played the bad card of the original family into a warm and happy family of five today.
In Hong Kong stars, there is no shortage of such counterattacks. But to say that the worst face of life, Hui Yinghong can definitely enter the forefront.
Hui Yinghong's family was originally a large family in Qingdao, but due to the war, the whole family fled to Hong Kong. As soon as I arrived in Hong Kong, my family's savings were cheated out, and the family was left alone in Hong Kong.
At the age of 3, Hui Yinghong took her sister to beg in the red light district, selling chewing gum and cigarettes to supplement the family. Even if the beginning of life is dismal, she must strive to become the "big sister" who begs for food on the street. At a young age, she is very good at observing the color, and can see which people are kind and soft-hearted, which people are generous, and among the children who beg, she is the most fruitful.
Bidding farewell to the life of begging, Hui Yinghong, who danced in the dance hall at the age of 16, met director Zhang Che, who came to cast, and opened the road to beating women. The actors at that time were very different from now, and they sounded beautiful, but in fact, they were more bitter and difficult than dancers. At that time, the Hong Kong film industry was popular in martial arts films, fist to flesh, and many people could not withstand this suffering, and even fled on the spot. But Hui Yinghong is not partial, others dare not do it, she will do a good job.
At that time, the scene of Hong Kong martial arts films, the equipment was rudimentary, the technology was lacking, all relying on the actors to fight in the flesh, and every punch and kick was really beaten. During the filming of "Rotten Head Ho", the original heroine ran home directly for fear of pain, and Hui Yinghong was temporarily ordered to replace. The actor was also unceremonious, and came up and punched her more than forty times, and she was beaten to the point of vomiting, and when she finished vomiting, she walked back and was beaten.
There was once a movie where Hui Yinghong had to jump from the 16th floor. The crew hired a stand-in, but after taking the substitute wea, they did not dare to jump down. Hui Yinghong, who could not bear to let the whole crew wait, resolutely jumped from the 16th floor and was scratched by a clothes rail on her back, leaving a long blood mark.
Kung Fu pays off, relying on the spirit of "no life", in 1982, Hui Yinghong won the first "Hong Kong Academy Awards" Best Actress with "The Elders", in the male-dominated kung fu film Jiangshan, punching and kicking out her own place, becoming the first and possibly the only actress to rely on martial arts films to get the film.
However, fate seems to dislike Hui Yinghong in particular. At the time of great popularity, the Hong Kong film industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, the traditional martial arts films have declined, the directors of the new wave love literary and art films, and actors like Hui Yinghong, who are born in martial arts, are classified as "can not act".
"At that moment all the doors that had been open to me were closed." Hui Yinghong, who was extremely popular, actually fell into a situation where there was no drama to shoot, originally thought that it was Wang Bang's "beating women" aura, but turned over the card face to find that it was a huge trap. Unable to accept this loss, she suffered from depression and once committed suicide by taking sleeping pills, but was fortunately saved by her family.
Hui Yinghong, who escaped the disaster, suddenly opened up, who said that beating women can't act? She just wants to do her best. She wiped out all her past glory and went to hong Kong to study acting at the University of Chinese, even in English and Feng Shui. In order to better understand her depression and give more room for subsequent roles, she also took the exam as an emotional therapist.
"You can't wait for the opportunity, you have to grasp it yourself." With everything ready, Hui Yinghong began to take the initiative to fight for opportunities for herself, asking the director one by one whether there was a suitable role. She no longer cares about the size of the role, even if it is a small supporting role, she gives her all. In her heart, the supporting role is more important than the protagonist, and there is more room to play, "Really, the supporting role is very important, if the supporting role is not well matched, I see how you act." And sometimes the supporting role is not necessarily less, if the supporting role is well acted, you can also snatch the aura of the protagonist. ”
In the crew, Hui Yinghong is not necessarily the most talented one, but it must be the most serious one. Even if there is no her in the camera, she also seriously plays for her opponents, and she always says to the juniors around her: "Don't withdraw because the camera can't take you." I said as long as you come in, as much as you can bring you, there will be one more shot, you can act well, you don't care if you can see it, act well, the person next to you will see. ”
With heart and hard work, in 2009, Hui Yinghong played a desperate and helpless mother in "Heart Demon", won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Academy Award for Best Actress, after 27 years, she could not help but cry when she returned to the stage of the Academy Awards.
In 2016, she was already a veteran film queen with multiple trophies, and a new director approached her with the script of "Lucky Me". A coffee position like her does not have to choose to cooperate with such a young and unknown director, not to mention, this role is an elderly dementia mother, not only to play the role of beauty, but also to play the old ugly dementia, obviously a loss-only business.
However, Hui Yinghong, who was deeply moved by the plot, resolutely chose to star, and learned that the director's funds were insufficient, and she even lowered her salary. In the play, she washed the lead, the whole process of plain face, in order to fit the old dragon bell of the characters in the play as much as possible, she has been leaning back, stuffing paper towels in the legs of her pants for the most realistic details of the performance. Some film critics praised: "She grasps the fragile, sensitive, and stubborn and stubborn old emotions of the elderly very accurately, and her performance is very touching."
Three Golden Film Awards For Best Actress, one Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, one Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress, Wan Qian Xinghui Best Actress Award, Huading Award for Best Actress in China's Top 100 TV Dramas... With the hard work and superb acting skills that do not accept defeat, today's Hui Yinghong has long been rid of the shackles of "hitting women can't act" and has become a grand slam queen of the red.
"I hope that Hui Yinghong's three words mean that she is very serious, no matter whether she is beautiful or not, how much can be sold at the box office, but she can guarantee that she will not disappoint." Hui Yinghong, who got a bad hand, forced people to live a legend. She fights back against the injustice of fate with a lifetime of seriousness, and uses her own story to declare to everyone that fate cannot be swayed, but effort can defeat everything.
