Speaking of Wang Zuxian, perhaps some young people are not familiar with this name, but when it comes to Nie Xiaoqian in "Ghost of Qiannu", I believe many people will say that it was the ghost who fell into the country. Although the female star who became popular in the 1980s and 1990s did not win numerous awards like Maggie Cheung, why did many fans still remember it until now?

In the 1990s, the Japanese anime "Slam Dunk Master" was popular throughout Asia, the heroine Akagi Haruko was pure and moving, loved basketball, and compared with the adolescent Wang Zuxian, the image of the two people was very similar, and some people even said that the prototype of Akagi Haruko was Wang Zuxian, because Wang Zuxian could also play basketball.
Movie "Yi Gai Cloud Sky"
In 1967, Wang Zuxian was born in Taiwan, his father Wang Yaohuang is a basketball player, Wang Zuxian inherited his father's athletic talent, joined the basketball varsity team in middle school, played basketball for several years, in the movie "Heartbeat" and "Yi gai yuntian", she showed accurate shooting, smooth movement skills, the video of her playing basketball on the Internet is still sought after.

Two years later, she was favored again, starred in the first movie of her life "This year's lakeside will be very cold", also known as "Lakeside Ghost", the film tells a love affair between people and ghosts, Wang Zuxian played the ghost of a drowning girl in the movie, fledgling, her performance is shy and naïve, but full of spirit, the film was shortlisted for the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, and also brought changes to Wang Zuxian's life, at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony that year, Ma Fangzong, manager of the Taiwan branch of Hong Kong Shaw Company, noticed Wang Zuxian, She recommended Wang Zuxian to The Shaw family member Fang Yihua, Fang Yihua read countless people, she saw the potential of Wang Zuxian, so she bought the contract signed by Wang Zuxian and Gundam Company for 280,000 Hong Kong dollars, after which Wang Zuxian embarked on the road to stardom in Hong Kong.
At the end of the 1980s, Hong Kong movies began to enter a golden period, many Taiwanese actresses went to Hong Kong to develop, Hong Kong is not short of local Hua Dan, so the competition in the show business circle is very fierce, although Wang Zuxian is young, only 17 years old, but her advantages are obvious, first, tall and plump, the pile of people is quite eye-catching; second, she has an amorous face, eye waves, very moving. When she first arrived in Hong Kong, she began to act in films under the arrangement of Shaw Films, and she cooperated with famous actors at that time, such as Er Dongsheng, Hui Guanjie, Chow Yun Fat, etc.
From 1985 to 1986, Wang Zuxian successively starred in films such as "The Working Emperor", "Goodbye Seven-Day Love", "Yi Gai Yuntian", "Wife Killing Duo" and other movies, but most of them were comedies, and almost all of her roles in the movies were vase roles, and her acting skills were not very good, but it was her and Xu Guanjie's scandal that spread widely, making her the focus of the entertainment industry. In today's entertainment industry, hype is a common thing, but also the packaging means of stars, Wang Zuxian does not like this, she is not at all keen on promoting herself, although Wang Zuxian does not like to socialize, but she still wins people's attention with her tall figure and beautiful face; on the other hand, she is serious about filming, and she happens to be in the most prosperous period of Hong Kong movies, which can be regarded as time, location, and people.

Wang Zuxian is not like other artists, to stay up 7, 8 years to emerge, in her third year in Hong Kong, that is, in 1987, ushered in the peak of her career, Wang Zuxian seems to have a fate with the female ghost role, her first movie "Lakeside Ghost", played the ghost of a young girl, and later let her embark on the peak of her career, but also the role of a female ghost. In the previous ghost films, most of the female ghosts are gloomy and ugly, and the female ghosts played by Wang Zuxian subvert people's previous cognition, in the movie "Qiannu Ghost", nie Xiaoqian, who she played, is cold and charming, and the living color is fragrant, even if it is a ghost, there is still a human temperature.
In "Ghost of a Woman", Ning Caichen, a scholar played by Zhang Guorong, and Nie Xiaoqian, a female ghost played by Wang Zuxian, performed a lingering love story, which was a great success after the release of the film, setting off a boom in Hong Kong fantasy films, and also making Wang Zuxian famous, among the frontline, and had a foothold in Chinese films.
After Wang Zuxian filmed "Qiannu Ghost 1: Demon Road", the road of female ghosts is even more uncontrollable, she has starred in "Qiannu Ghost 2: Human Road", "Qiannu Ghost 3: Dao Dao", as well as "Immortals in Painting", "Millennium Banshee", "Spirit Fox" and other ghost films, the most worth mentioning is Xu Ke's "Green Snake", although the protagonist is the green snake played by Maggie Cheung, but the white snake played by Wang Zuxian is also brilliant.
In the same type of role as the female ghost banshee, almost no one could compete with Wang Zuxian at that time, she could be resentful, cold, sexy and playful, and she could also be charming and charming, so she was called the most beautiful ghost in history, and by the early 1990s, her film remuneration even jumped to the first place in Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, together with Maggie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong, and Guan Zhilin, and called the four famous people in the Hong Kong film industry.

In the mid-90s, when Wang Zuxian was 27 or 28 years old, for an actress, it was the best period for career development, she finished filming 7 movies such as "East into West", "Green Snake", "The Undefeated Rise of the East" and other 7 movies, and her acting skills tended to mature, but at this time, she faded out of the show business circle, why is this?
It turned out to be a relationship with the rich businessman Lin Jianyue, which brought trouble and pressure to Wang Zuxian, when they met, Lin Jianyue was a husband with a wife, Wang Zuxian confessed to the outside world that he had a wife before, I did not want to be a third party, nor did I want to destroy other people's families, until he did the separation procedures, everyone began to communicate, after this relationship was exposed, public opinion was uproar, Lin Jianyue's mother openly opposed their interaction, under heavy pressure, the two finally parted ways, because of this relationship, Wang Zuxian was accused, her reputation was damaged, she left Canada , no audio at all.
