A rich girl, from childhood is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand, in adolescence, will she obediently study, marry, have children, and complete the consummation of life according to the established route of adults?
Some girls will. For example, Bing Xin and Yang Dai, they not only successfully completed their studies, found a lifelong partner in the college era, and created remarkable achievements in a certain field.
It looks flawless, but the river of life is never as untouchable as plastic, and even if the surface of the water looks calm, there must be a faint undulating outline in the moonlight.
Bing Xin wrote "The Wife's Living Room"; Yang Dai "satirized" Zhang Ailing in a letter to a friend and "loved to be in the limelight", which may be an example of their less well-behaved. I think that occasionally showing "viciousness" is far more cute than being like a dummy.
But not all girls are as rich in life as Bingxin and Yang Dai, and can control themselves at critical moments. There is another type of girl, because they have the capital to toss, eager to go to the front of the world from the shadow of their parents and live their own wonderful. However, due to the influence of factors such as vision and personality, it may be off the path of life.
Yang Naimei, born in 1904, is such a girl. His father was a wealthy merchant in Guangdong, and when he was developing in Shanghai, he also brought Yang Naimei to Shanghai.
The style of old Shanghai influenced Yang Naimei, Who had average grades in school, but liked to sing, act and other talents to show her personal charm, and thus became a school figure.
Between schools, she followed her mother to see the play, and she felt very awkward when she saw that the little Dan played by the man was not as delicate and fresh as a girl. She thought that if she changed to herself, she would be able to act very well. This kind of thinking makes her always pay attention to the trend of acting.
At that time, the film was just emerging, everywhere was looking for a suitable actress, Yang Naimei ran to Zheng Zhengqiu's film company to introduce herself. Maybe it is God taking care of the girl with the dream, Zheng Zhengqiu is preparing to shoot "Jade Pear Soul", the heroine has it, but the debauched supporting role is not suitable.
Zheng Zhengqiu saw Yang Naimei at first glance and thought it was her. "Jade Pear Soul" was a great success, making Yang Naimei come out of the limelight.
Immediately after that, Yang Naimei received a second role, this role is an ugly and vicious landlord wife, which makes Yang Naimei very unhappy. During the promotion of the movie, the company did not ask for her three hundred yuan honorarium, and waved her hand to let the company colleagues eat.
The company sensed her bad mood and, in view of Yang Naimei's rising popularity, tailored the movie "Seduction" for her. Because she won the heroine, Yang Naimei worked very hard. She dragged a box of her clothes to the set every day, and her hairstyle was constantly changing.
Due to yang naimei's great enthusiasm, the film was also a great success, and Yang Naimei became a veritable first-line card division.
It is worth saying that although Yang Naimei lived a hundred years ago, her means of maintaining her heat is no worse than that of modern female stars.
During filming, Yang Naimei always had gossip with the male protagonist, and she has long used the bundled marketing of self-organized CP; during the period of non-filming, she is not idle, often providing her own lace news for tabloids.
Unlike other female stars who come from the bottom, mainly to change their personal life situation, Yang Naimei chose a film career purely to satisfy the vanity of "making a splash".
She does not want to live alone, she wants the world to see her charm. This determines that she acts differently from other female stars.
For example, although Hu Die was born innocent, her family was not rich, so she was very hard, learning to drive, learning to ride, etc., all in preparation for better completion of work; Ruan Lingyu, Ai Xia, etc. were more cautious, afraid that the tabloids would write negative things about them and affect their acting career.
Yang Naimei has no scruples and belongs to the kind of black and red Bo traffic in the modern showbiz circle. What she wants is the pain and "coolness" of breaking the rules, but this kind of rampage momentum, crooked, makes her popularity bigger and bigger.
For example, in how to publicize, she has the courage to do things that other female stars can't think of. The audience sat in the movie theater, watching Yang Naimei humming a lullaby to coax the children to sleep, the screen suddenly rose, the stage completely copied the set in the play, the yang Naimei in life model on the stage, dressed like in the play, accompanied by the live band, singing "Milk Lady Song".
This trick worked very well, and the next day, Yang Naimei made headlines in Shanghai newspapers - the Weibo hot search at that time.
Later, restless, she set up her own film company to prepare for the film "Strange Woman", but the funds were insufficient, at this time, Zhang Zongchang, who was in Jinan, invited her to Jinan.
The various movie stars and actresses all have their own hardcore fans. Hardcore fans have a mix of ingredients, including, of course, such big people with great power. Hu Die also encountered the admiration of Dai Kasa, and unlike Hu Die's attitude of avoiding it and only longing for ordinary happiness, Yang Naimei did not refuse Zhang Zongchang's invitation.
She felt that this would make her fame famous and leave a legendary story that was "enjoyable" to the world.
When Yang Naimei first arrived in Jinan, Zhang Zongchang held a large party for her, and those who came to the dance party could dance with the big star, and the ticket price was 1,000 taels of silver.
A dozen days later, Yang Naimei returned to Shanghai safely and unharmed, and at this time, the "paparazzi" who smelled the wind had already reported her every move.
The praise of the newspaper made Yang Naimei have an illusion, she really thought that she was the strange woman of that era. In order to be different, she ran banquets, gambled, and took drugs, so she squandered all the funds for filmmaking and owed huge debts.
Just when she was desperate and desperate, as some modern idol dramas have filmed, her father sent money to take her home.
The "prodigal girl" was tired of tossing and turning, and soon married the son of her father's friend, and lived a leisurely and peaceful life of a rich wife. This result makes me feel a little sad.
Born in the same era, Ruan Lingyu, Ai Xia, etc., desperately need a man to bring security, but she can't ask for it; she gossips about her boyfriend changing stubble after stubble, and finally, there is no impact at all. This may be a natural advantage that rich women have.
Therefore, it is true that girls like Yang Naimei live more happily. She opened herself to the fullest, bloomed her charm and enthusiasm, and the arrogance that soared out of that frenzied era was enviable as a person rather than as a puppet woman who married and had children according to the established procedures.
After reading a thousand sails, he returned and was still the lover of the boy's dream. Sailing smoothly into the safe haven, how fortunate it was for most girls. However, for Yang Naimei, the silence has been long, and she needs to restrain the heart that is eager to fight again.
However, this is not her final outcome, the previous "doing" or "madness", coupled with the arrival of the war, in exchange for the father's company has no successor, closed; the husband's company is not well run, gradually consumed, and finally died.
She later divorced her husband and moved to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, she co-produced a movie with Zhang Zhiyun, who was also depressed, failed, ran out of savings, and had to beg on the street.
Unlike Zhang Zhiyun, Yang Naimei seems to always have someone to give her a bottom. Her daughter arrived in Taiwan at this time, and when she heard of her mother's tragic condition, she took her mother back to her side.
A generation of stars Yang Naimei, quietly died in 1960. Such a death is not in line with her "out of the limelight" style of doing things. However, she didn't care anymore.
Her last words are like this, she said, "Yu sincerely thinks about the past life, like a spring dream, even thinks of the future generations in the same industry, takes Yu as a reference, and when he is proud, he must remember to stay as a step back and calculate for his old age."
In addition to warning the younger generations to reserve the back steps, she also denied the enthusiastic, open-minded, and legendary self of her youth, thinking that it was just a spring dream. Relative to the achievements of BingXin and Yang Chen, what she said may be right...
