"I'm a wuthering mountain forest, a colorful carnivorous tiger, I don't want to sniff the roses, I don't want to grow old calmly. At any time, I have chosen to live a 'burning life'. --Liu Xiaoqing
The legendary years that belong to this woman have been red-robed war horses, blazing fires and cooking oil, often contrary to traditional rules.
Half a century,
She set a record for countless Chinese firsts.
The first actress to shoot a kissing scene;
The first billionaire sister to play the best business;
The first autobiographical star;
The first actress to break into prison alone,
Today, she is the first seventy-year-old "old man" who is least like an old man.
Plump in stature, peach blossoms, parachute jumping bungee jumping in the air split forks, see a few old ladies straight goosebumps, stomping their feet and calling her "old monster".
Whether she is twenty or seventy years old, her curiosity is always out of line, like a proud wolf, with an iron heart to be remembered by the times, praise and demeaning people.
As she often said, I have no luxury in the world, nothing more than to come, to see, to conquer.
Two thick eyebrows are high, the bright eyes are heroic and swirling, and the square face with the noodles comes with a smile of five sharp and five points sweet.
Liu Xiaoqing's face is not high-class, but it is atmospheric enough to fit perfectly with the aesthetics of that era.
But no one thought that her beauty had been beautiful for more than half a century.
In 2013, at the age of 58, she stood in the middle of an auditorium in Los Angeles and began her fourth marriage with a high-profile wedding.
In front of the camera, she is like a little girl who has never been in the world.
The 15-carat pigeon egg in his hand was dazzling, shaking her husband Wang Xiaoyu to wipe away tears, and his age was full of tears.
Someone teased her--she was half-cut in the soil, why can't she grow old calmly?
Some people also questioned her plastic surgery - look at those two ears, and then a little hyaluronic acid can be used to mop the floor!
And Yi Shu, a female writer who has always believed in "being the most important person and looking good", also thief Pull can't look at her hard work.
Yin and yang are strangely ironic - she wears a big flower dress, radiant, wears a diamond watch, a thick gold chain around her neck, and lined Lin Qingxia, who has short straight hair, light makeup, and white jeans, like a bitter student.
However, these gossip is like a mosquito bite to Liu Xiaoqing, not only is he not angry but he becomes more radiant: "When others say that you have plastic surgery, is that praising you?" Doesn't it mean you've become pretty?
It is really hard for Aunt Liu, so many years of leading by example to tell everyone a truth - the thicker the skin of being a person, the easier it is to be happy.
Even though she has passed the age of ancient rarity, she has not hidden her enthusiasm and dedication to beauty.
The word "old" seems to have been actively eliminated in her dictionary, not to mention the short-term compromise of the parents of middle-aged women, as she often said: "Years can be old, but Xiaoqing is always young." ”
Can the past really be like smoke?
Actually, you can't!
Walking by will leave a mark,
Can't erase the unevenness.
Do people really need to grow old calmly? A thousand people have a thousand interpretations, people like Liu Xiaoqing cannot be calm, and resistance is her most enduring pursuit of life.
And this kind of struggle began when she was a little girl...
In 1970, when the summer was still sweltering at dawn, 17-year-old Liu Xiaoqing finally climbed into a large truck into the city before sunrise, and beads of sweat rolled down from the face of the pimple-filled child.
The driver did not have time to scrutinize this awkward girl, so he kicked the throttle dust, and there were more than a dozen pig lambs waiting to be fed behind the butt of the car.
The trucks bumped all the way, the deserted village stumbled, and the pigs and people couldn't stop sleeping.
At that time, Comrade Xiao Liu, who had just graduated from the affiliated middle school of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, was full of various vague fantasies about the future, and only one thing she was very clear about - she wanted to be famous.
As an authentic Sichuan-Chongqing person, Liu Girl has been bold and fierce since she was a child, other little girls think of flowers and grass dolls, she dreams of the little things in the city at night, and now, her dream has been realized by a big truck that sneaks and runs long distances.
But what she never expected was that she just jumped from one fire pit to another.
Young hearts are always stirring for no reason, no matter how absurd the mistakes are, capital pays, and no matter how deep the fire pit dares to jump without hesitation.
This is the magic of youth.
Liu Girl from a small county town came to the city full of joy, thinking that she could take off the flower undershirt and big pants, but in the end she could not cope with the arrangement of the times, and became a simple and unpretentious farm worker in Xuanhan County.
The hand that learned the piano touched the sledgehammer, the flower undershirt was replaced by a labor cloth, and Liu Girl's first negative struggle against fate was declared a failure.
But the young heart was not knocked round and flattened with the hammer in his hand, but instead forged a stronger personality in the labor life of opening the mountain and firing cannons.
Just like when Wu Zetian was demoted to the Karma Temple when she was young, Liu Girl understood that in the same lonely and unknown days, they all needed an opportunity to change their destiny.
In 1971, the Chengdu Military Region Repertory Theatre came to the farm to offer condolences and performances, and Miss Liu knew that her opportunity had come.
This Sichuan girl is not very outstanding in appearance, and she still has pimples, but the fire of desire under her eyes makes her suddenly appear in a group of people, and she squeezes hard to the front of the crowd and volunteers to report to the chief that she wants to show her talent.
After sweating profusely, she finally saw the head of the military region smiling and nodding slightly, so she changed her labor cloth into a green military uniform.
The young girl Xiaoqing tasted the sweetness of controlling her destiny for the first time.
When she entered the propaganda team of the military region, she was the one who worked hard in the morning and evening classes.
More than once was nominated as a propaganda backbone, but not long after the suspension of time, Liu Girl began to be heartbroken again - "All day in the army, the door does not go out of the second door, I feel that it is a pity, I want to be famous in the country!" ”
When she wanted to be famous, she said it in front of the whole class in high school, but everyone took it as a joke and scattered like a bird.
She is like an ambitious flower, not willing to be lonely, need to be appreciated and noticed, more need the continuous irrigation of desire, be an obscure wild lily in the corner, it is better to kill her.
In 1973, Xiaoqing finally waited for an opportunity to become famous — an audition invitation from bayi Film Studio.
From Chengdu to Beijing, the creaking green-skinned train swung around for a day and a night, and the reckless girl who did not comb her face or wash her head after getting off the train sat in the audition dressing room of "The Great Wall of the South China Sea".
The director, the makeup artist, and the screenwriter all rushed over and poked at her face.
The nose is not straight enough,
The face is not small enough,
It's a little freckled,
At the end, someone patted her ass and said she was a little fat.
Where has the ignorant girl experienced this battle? I went back to the guest house after the audition and cried with a headache – "The first time I thought I was so ugly, so bad, but I didn't believe it!" Does the actor have to be a beauty? ”
From the day of the fight, she made up her mind to conquer everyone with her acting skills.
Stay up all night memorizing lines, practicing eye movements over and over again, and before booting, you were told: "You are just a substitute, and the right ones will be replaced at any time." ”
Until the filming of a sea jumping scene, no one in the whole crew dared to jump, and the little girl drilled behind the director, only she simply and neatly "poofed" and jumped into the bottomless sea.
The crowd scooped her up from the sea, her lips were purple with cold, and from that day on, the heroine's position was firmly written with her name.
After the broadcast of "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", Liu Xiaoqing became famous in one fell swoop.
For a long time after that, the heroines of Chinese films were occupied by the three words "Liu Xiaoqing" for a long time.
Some people also say that the 80s of Chinese cinema was the "Liu Xiaoqing era".
In this era that belongs to her, she has taken the lead in achieving many "China firsts"
And the violent scandal with Jiang Wen made her the first barbaric daughter-in-law who dared to argue with her husband because of something outside of marriage...
Some people I meet in life can affect my life.
Just as Liu Xiaoqing's shadow can be seen in many places on Jiang Wen's body, and the heroines in his films also carry his highest aesthetic of women - they are not weak, and even more righteous than men at key moments.
And what brought Jiang Wen this big heroine complex was Liu Xiaoqing.
In 1986, Qingjie was 33 years old and married, and her husband Chen Guojun abandoned his wife and son for her and gambled everything on her; at that time, Jiang Wen was 22 years old, and he had just walked out of the School of Chinese Opera.
This year, they met on the set of the movie "Furong Town", a hairy boy, a mature woman, the difference of eleven years of age but let the two have a more passionate collision.
Although the sisters and brothers are more and more in love, the younger brothers are not fools, and the sisters they like are not simply "elderly women", but mature and independent, and can be the leader at key moments.
No one loves the wrinkles on your face more, but the wrinkles give you years of experience and more precious wisdom.
Liu Xiaoqing is such a goddess for Jiang Wen.
On the day of filming "Furong Town", Jiang Wen took a bottle of liquor and chatted with Sister Liu.
At first, she looked down on him a little, after all, she was already a hundred flower shadow queen at that time.
And Jiang Wen is just out of the woods, and to be fair, he is not handsome. But some people are like a good wine, the longer the time, the more mellow and soft.
Gradually, the two secretly fell in love and came together.
Because the two were too high-profile, the gossip spread into Lao Shen's ears, of course, he hoped that there was a problem with his ears, after all, he had rebelled against this woman, but when he got the positive reply from the person concerned, he was completely crazy.
He first had a big fight with Liu Xiaoqing, and then found Jiang Wen and beat him up, but then he received a series of calls from his wife: "If you still love me, don't move him again." ”
It is estimated that at that time, Old Chen's nose was almost crooked, and he had to obediently pose for the queen to take a picture after wearing a green hat, and this woman told him to love clearly, and hated it to the bone!
But Liu Xiaoqing is like this, in her thinking, not loving is not loving, I can repay everything, I can get out of the house, but I can't pretend anymore.
In her world, the birth and death of feelings is also controlled by her, most women are abandoned or the self-hatred after the red apricot out of the wall does not exist, she loves like a man, to decide to leave.
In 1990, Liu Xiaoqing officially went to the sea to do business, and she was already sitting on the throne of the queen of the shadows, planning to seek another form of success.
Just that year, in order to help her little boyfriend prepare for the filming of "Sunny Days", she took out all her savings and sold the house, not wanting to achieve her boyfriend at the same time, but also pushed him down into the peaceful embrace.
Liu Xiaoqing, who suffered a leg split, can also be regarded as drawing a cause and effect for this relationship.
Emotionally defeated, she devoted herself to her career and ran all the way on the road of "making money". Once upon a time, her ambition came from her obsession with the "Shadow Queen"; now, she generously writes her desire for money on her face.
A few years later, she built a huge "Xiaoqing business empire", and her company covered a variety of fields - real estate, cosmetics, film production...
According to the 1999 Forbes mainland rich list, Liu Xiaoqing was in the 45th place at the time, and his assets were estimated to be between $70 million and $90 million.
In just a few years, she has achieved a perfect transformation from a hundred flowers to a billionaire at the speed of light, and at the same time, she has written a book with a particularly high profile, "My Confessions: From Movie Star to Billionaire Sister".
This highly controversial and infuriating title was sold for 1.08 million yuan before the book was sold, which is unprecedented in the history of Chinese literature.
She wrote in the book: "I travel a lot, and whenever I sit on a plane overlooking the earth, I often feel that there is nothing in the world that I can't do...."
Indeed, at that time, she was like speeding all the way on an unlimited highway, even if she was already far ahead of her peers, she still wanted to fight for countless firsts.
Even at the airport, her luggage being transported by the first one gives her a sense of "I won" excitement.
However, a whistleblower letter not long after, let her finally experience a "China first", only this time, she lost.....
In the early spring of 2002, when the ice and snow melted and everything recovered, it was supposed to be the season when everything was redeemed, but 50-year-old Liu Xiaoqing plunged into Qincheng Prison - "tax evasion and tax evasion".
Overnight, the billionaire sister became a prisoner of the order, and the people around her avoided fear, she tried to write to a friend for help, but they all sank into the sea.
At this time, the old lover Jiang Wen stood up, first invited a lawyer to defend, went around, and helped her fill in a huge fine, which made her eligible for release on guarantee pending further investigation.
Liu Xiaoqing once said that she is truly giving to every relationship, and all the men related to her have more or less received help from her, and she prefers to give the initiative rather than ask.
Because of this, at the public event a few years later, she and her ex-husband Lao Chen hugged each other and smiled and hated each other.
At the time of the fall, the old love Jiang Wen ignored the argument and only wanted to add a candle to the woman who had given everything to herself, telling her that there was still hope.
After 422 days, Liu Xiaoqing was released, but all his former assets had been confiscated, and hundreds of millions of assets had been turned into tens of millions of liabilities.
Liu Xiaoqing, who had lost a lot of weight, walked out of the prison gate, and the first person he saw was no one else, it was Jiang Wen.
The two looked at each other wordlessly, and Old Jiang patted Xiaoqing's shoulder like an old friend, and only said one sentence: "It's still full of red light, very good!" ”
He understood that this woman didn't need any comfort, she never stopped moving forward, she was stronger than a man....
postscript:
Most of the female characters in Jiang Wen's films are "women are better than men", and he does not shy away from respecting and worshipping big women.
His heroine image has been described as full of "wet beauty", with a erotic atmosphere of royal sister style.
Whether it is Liu Xiaoqing's intense beauty or quiet and straightforwardness, these beauties come from their uncertainty.
They may have a firm grasp of the steering wheel of their own lives, but they have always been able to take down others and do not accept any control.
They do not rely on men, but use wisdom and ability to impress men, and give men tenderness like water.
This kind of wildness of splitting the head and covering the face is exactly the female beauty that Liu Xiaoqing brought to Jiang Wen, and it also shocks everyone.
It turns out that women can be so powerful, and it turns out that women can be so free and free.
