Recently, some netizens posted a video of Liu Qingyun's recent situation, in which Liu Qingyun stood alone in the corner, smiling, and looked very low-key. I saw him wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with light shorts, and a black fisherman's hat on his head, dressed very plainly.
What surprised netizens more than dressing up was that 59-year-old Liu Qingyun actually grew up like this. His face is full of wrinkles, and he has a white beard, which looks like an 80-year-old man. Compared with the Hong Kong star of the same age, his state is really a bit poor. Andy Lau, 60, looks like an energetic middle-aged man, while 59-year-old Liu Qingyun clearly wants people to call out "Grandpa is good."
In fact, Liu Qingyun did not appear alone in the tea house that day, but appeared with his friend Li Yaoxiang, but the treatment of the two at the scene was completely different. The 57-year-old Li Yaoxiang is quite popular, and as soon as he arrived at the tea house, he was surrounded by people, and many guests took out their cameras to take photos with him. During this period, there were many enthusiastic guests who continued to chat with him, and the scene was once very lively.
Liu Qingyun, who was walking with Li Yaoxiang, could only stand aside, waiting for his friends to finish taking photos with everyone. During this period, he kept smiling, standing silently in the corner of the tea house, and no one went to find a group photo to chat, as if everyone did not recognize him at all. Afterwards, netizens found out in the video that he had been standing there smiling.
Liu Qingyun and Li Yaoxiang have been friends for more than 30 years, and the two have cooperated many times over the years, and they always find time to party and chat together in private. However, when the two were young, their popularity was very different. Liu Qingyun is the film emperor of the two Academy Awards, while Li Yaoxiang is only the TVB tv emperor.
Soon after Liu Qingyun joined TVB, he was praised by the TV station. He was even caught by the TV station for shooting an admissions advertisement because his image was too good. Coincidentally, Li Yaoxiang was because he watched Liu Qingyun's enrollment advertisement that he would go to the TVB training class and think that he would be active on the screen as an actor in the future.
When Liu Qingyun has become the big male protagonist of TVB dramas, Li Yaoxiang is still just a small actor running a dragon set. In the 1986 movie "Silver Journey", Liu Qingyun starred as the male number one Zhai Ming, while Li Yaoxiang was just a nameless and insignificant dragon set actor.
Li Yaoxiang has filmed a supporting actor for TVB for 21 years, and only in 2009 did he serve as the male protagonist of a TVB drama for the first time, and he was lucky to win the throne of the TVB TV Emperor that year. As early as three years ago, Liu Qingyun had already won the Academy Award for the movie "I Want to Be Famous".
There is also a big gap between the two in their positions in the show business. Since Liu Qingyun won the film emperor, he has hardly ever filmed a TV series, and has been playing the male protagonist in various large-scale investment Hong Kong films, winning awards and getting soft. In 2012, he won the Golden Horse Award for the movie "Death Gold", and in 2015, he won the second Academy Awards Film Emperor Trophy with "Eavesdropping 3".
Compared with Liu Qingyun, Li Yaoxiang was not so lucky. It was not easy to turn over in middle age, three times to win the throne of the emperor, but TVB is declining, he can only come to the mainland to restart his acting work at an old age. In 2018, he played Xu Zhengxi in the small-cost costume web drama "Fengyi" and played a heinous villain.
But now the situation of the two has been completely reversed. The 57-year-old Li Yaoxiang is still in good shape, his hair is not gray, his face is not wrinkled, and he looks much younger than his actual age. Now that he has moved to Zhongshan with his wife, he has always had various plays in the mainland, which are deeply loved by everyone.
On the other hand, Liu Qingyun has become a "family cook". From 2016 to today, he has only one film work, that is, "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", and he has matched Andy Lau's friendship. On weekdays, he either goes shopping with his wife or shopping in the supermarket, and is often photographed by the Hong Kong media without trimming, and sometimes he will issue eye warnings to the Hong Kong media.
Many people have said that Hong Kong stars are representatives of "immortality", one by one age or spiritual boys. Nowadays, it seems that this is a bit exaggerated, Xiao 8 feels that Hong Kong and Taiwan male stars who still have requirements for their careers will naturally go to maintenance, and male stars like Liu Qingyun who plan to retire and retire, as long as they are comfortable, it does not matter how they look.
