During the National Day period, I relived the old movie at home, and turned to the "Robber Groom" by the great beauty Xia Meng, a film produced by Hong Kong Phoenix Pictures in 1958, which can be said to be the happy memories of many people's youth.
The plot is quite interesting, saying that Xiucai Li Yu (Gao Yuan) met Zhang Xuan, who ran the rivers and lakes, when he was out playing, and brought his daughter Zhang Caifeng (Xia Meng) to the Qiantang River to sell art. Li Yu fell in love with Cai Feng at first sight, and Cai Feng was also quite moved to see Li Gongzi's handsome demeanor.
Unexpectedly, this time coincided with the holy decree from Chincha, saying that 800 hundred beautiful women would be selected to enter the palace in Qiantang County. But all those who have beautiful daughters in the family, in order to avoid the draft, have tried to find ways to marry their daughters off immediately.
Some even thought of going out into the street to pull the groom. As a result, a farce of robbing the groom was staged, and in the end, it was natural that Li Yu and Cai Feng, the lovers, eventually became dependents, and the whole movie laughed from beginning to end, and the plot was also interesting.
In particular, Xia Meng's role in women dressing as men also adds a lot to the film.
Speaking of Xia Meng, it is estimated that people who have known Mr. Jin Yong know that after all, in the public impression, the prototype of Xiaolongnü and Wang Yuyan is Xia Meng.
Xia Meng's original name was Yang Meng, and her stage name "Xia Meng" was taken from Shakespeare's famous work "A Midsummer Night's Dream", she was the head of the Hong Kong Great Wall Pictures company in the 50s and 60s of the last century, and she was also one of the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall".
She herself is really born to eat the bowl of rice of the actor, the face shape is correct, the facial features are stretched, and the distribution is very gentle, but because the corners of the eyes are slightly upward, the eyes are black and bright, giving people a bright and not tacky feeling.
Coupled with the prominent eyebrow peak, the eyebrow shape is raised, and there is a sword eyebrow posture, giving people a slightly heroic feeling, neutralizing the feminine temperament that is too feminine.
The height of 170cm adds a lot of points to her appearance, with a tall figure, a thin waist and long legs, and a head-to-body ratio and a waist-to-body ratio.
In the hearts of the older generation of fans, she can be said to be a palace-level beauty, and she is the only Chinese female star who can compete with Audrey Hepburn. Jin Yong, who has been in love with him for many years, once lamented, "No one has ever seen how beautiful Xi Shi is, and I think she should be like Xia Mengcai." The only time Mr. Jin Yong wrote the script "Absolute Beauty" and directed it himself, was to get close to the goddess.
Even Yi Shu, who was accustomed to seeing beautiful people, commented on her: "Yi Xi Yi Is angry, beautiful and delicate, only Lin Qingxia can compare with her." ”
She herself retired in the 60s, went to Canada with her husband, and later returned as a producer, and has always been well maintained and elegant. It is worth mentioning that on October 30, 2016, Xia Meng died, and on the same day two years later, Mr. Jin Yong passed away, I don't know if it was a coincidence or a love affair...
The aforementioned "Three Princesses of the Great Wall" also have two, "the second oldest" is also the famous beauty Shi Hui, her original name is Sun Huili, because of the superior family, from childhood to learn a lot of talents, piano, ballet, calligraphy, oil painting are involved.
Shi Hui's appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of that era, the square face shape, the sense of contour is very strong; the facial features are also large, the eyes are full, the nose is round and fleshy, the lower lip is thick, but the chin is small, and the whole gives people a bright and dignified feeling.
In particular, her big eyes are the most unforgettable, it is really bright eyes and good eyes, gu pan shenghui.
And light makeup is always appropriate, the former looks like a kind of female student purity, thick makeup and bright, temperament cloud light and light, many people say that Gao Yuanyuan and her a bit of a collision.
The post-90s generation may not be familiar with her, but her daughter Fu Mingxian should be known to everyone, right? He once played the role of Guo Fu in the 95 Gu Tianle version of "Eagle Hero", and indeed inherited the beauty of his mother!
After 1980, Shi Hui faded out of the screen and settled in Canada with his husband Fu Qi, who is now more than 80 years old, but looks very well maintained, completely unable to see the old state, full of energy.
"Three Princesses" Chen Sisi is the most colorful of the 3, I remember watching "Three Laughs" when I was a child, I think she played Qiu Xiang was simply too beautiful, it was really a shocking feeling.
In the movie, Chen Sisi created many beautiful figures: stroking the piano, throwing off his sleeves, leaning down to worship, and smiling like a fairy.
Personally, I think her appearance is very suitable for the aesthetic that now likes to emphasize the "sense of mixed race", but she herself is actually a Shanghainese whose ancestral home is Ningbo. The overall facial features are close to the depth of Westerners, the eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose account for a large proportion, and the contour lines are very full, which is a thick face shape.
Her eyes are a very important factor in highlighting the sense of brilliance, because there are sharp angles in the inner and outer corners of the eyes, but the curvature of the upper and lower eyelids is very smooth, and the eyebrows are very beautiful, both atmospheric and delicate.
In 1963, she became a hit with her wonderful performance in "Three Laughs". Later, "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" was well received because of its free and unrestrained performance.
However, Chen Sisi in life has a feminine and delicate appearance, but his personality has a straight and spicy side. It is said that among the actors of the Great Wall Company, Chen Sisi is the only one who dares to argue with the director or even the boss, and when she encounters a big star bullying, she will also stand up and hug unevenly, which can be said to be a chivalrous girl.
Chen Sisi has been in the film for more than 10 years and has starred in more than 30 films. In the decades after leaving the film industry, she is still the eternal "jade girl Xiao Qiuxiang" in the hearts of movie fans. In 1984, when hosting the Spring Festival Gala, she sang the "Three Laughs" episode, although she was nearly 50 years old, she was still beautiful and elegant, with stars in her eyes.
Sadly, the perfect lady passed away in 2007.
It is said that true beauty has an echo, and it is never just falling into the depths of people's memories. Nowadays, only Shi Hui is still alive in the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall", but Xia Meng and Chen Sisi still exist in the hearts of film fans, and their beautiful shadows have been engraved in the history of film and become an eternal classic.
