2021 is the year of the "great earthquake" in the entertainment industry. Some people go from the "top stream" to the prisoners under the steps; some people retreat from the circle and come back to the day is far away; there are also former lovers who have turned against each other, and the love affair has not yet entered the grave of marriage and exposed the corpse in the wilderness...
Watching him rise from a tall building, watching him collapse.
And there is a woman, she has gone through several ups and downs in the entertainment and fashion circles, and even been called a "loser girl". Now 60 years old, in addition to wrinkles brought by age, she is more experience and charm.
She is regarded by many women as the ideal of life: money and beauty, clothing, courtesy and talent.
She witnessed the bankruptcy of two rich people, but was called "my favorite woman in Hong Kong" By Yishu Zhang Xiaohui.
"Beauty in the bone is not in the skin" is never an empty phrase.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > family lineage --- wayward capital</h1>
In addition to the influence of an environment, there is also an attitude towards the world. And the Zhang family planted a seed called "fashion" in Zhang Xiaohui's heart from an early age.
Zhang Xiaohui's original name was Zhang Rongfang, which was taken by her grandfather, hoping that she could be a literati, admire the moon, chat, and write poetry. However, she preferred the nickname "Xiao Hui" and later used the name "Zhang Xiao Hui".
Since childhood, his family has been well-off, and he has a driver to pick him up and drop him off at school. Her grandfather was a high-ranking official in the Republic of China period, and was one of the literati with advanced ideas at that time. Inheriting his grandfather's ideas, his father was the editor-in-chief of Wen Wei Po and founded Canada's first Chinese radio station.
When she was a child, Zhang Xiaohui's favorite thing to do was to accompany her mother to the tailor's shop to select fabrics to make clothes, and she liked the feeling of choosing what she liked in a large room of fabrics. The fabrics she chooses are not only for clothes, but also for scarves, gloves, and even umbrellas and other accessories.
At the age of 12, he followed his mother to and from the high-end beauty salon and began to contact luxury brands. At the age of 13, he also won the class 'Most Stylish Dress award' for his unique views on collocation and a pair of off-white cotton straight-leg pants.
Since the age of 15, he has collected fashion magazines, popular and unpopular, and sorted them into categories.
In an era when everyone pursues thin beauty, she always insists that beauty with her own characteristics is the best, and insists on her consistent plump image.
Although she has a natural passion for fashion, Zhang Xiaohui in her youth, in addition to fashion, has a favorite, that is, reading.
She had seen a sentence in the book very early on: in fashion fashion, there are some things that cannot be bought from the hangers in the store, beautiful posture, wit and humor, and charm, which can turn the blinding people upside down, so as not to rely on those few cloths.
Cultivation and temperament, in Zhang Xiaohui's view, are far better than skin bags and packaging. It's just a pity that such a simple truth is not understood by some people in the entertainment industry.
At the age of 16, she immigrated to Toronto with her family and was admitted to the University of Toronto to study English literature, philosophy and art history. At that time, her career plan was to be a museum keeper who went to work wearing Ralph Lauren.
Later, when she found that her interest in fashion was greater than in art and philosophy, she transferred to design, and she had a new career pursuit: fashion buyers.
For Zhang Xiaohui, there is no need to think about making more money and making less, just caring about whether you like it or not. Her superior family lineage and outstanding appearance are her wayward capital.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" > love</h1>
Zhang Xiaohui in college, although she has excellent grades, she also has the "silly white sweetness" of a little girl. Longing for a love that is in full swing and vigorous.
Shi Tai Yishu's book is one of her favorite books to read. Every time a new book comes out, she must buy it back at the first time, and then sit on the couch surrounded by snacks, do nothing all day, and finish the book.
When you come across a book that you really like, put it within reach of the bedside and take it out when you want to read it.
Zhang Xiaohui, who has read hundreds of romance novels, has more or less been influenced by the heroine in the book.
This is the case with Zhong Zhentao's acquaintance and love.
In 1986, when Zhong Zhentao's career was in full swing, he opened a concert tour in Canada, and invited the host Lin Shanshan as a guest performer when he was in Toronto. After the performance, Lin Shanshan called several former classmates to celebrate together, including Zhang Xiaohui.
At the party, 34-year-old Zhong Zhentao and 24-year-old Zhang Xiaohui fell in love at first sight, looked at each other and quickly fell in love. The two people in love, who have only known each other for 3 weeks, decided to get married.
Unsurprisingly, they were opposed by Zhang Xiaohui's father, and the two fought for themselves in a vigorous way: they flew to Toronto hand in hand to meet Zhang's father, knelt on the ground, wept bitterly, and vowed not to marry (marry) the other.
Father Zhang finally reluctantly agreed, and the two held a high-profile wedding ceremony at St. Delessa's Church in Hong Kong. How much love did the two of them have at that time?
In an interview with Yuji Zha Xiaoxin, Zhong Zhentao said: Magazine fees 10,000, candy costs 10,000, pocket money 10,000, 30,000 a month. The supplementary card is also given to her, and you can buy as much as you want.
At that time, Zhang Xiaohui heard her lover say this, and smiled smartly at his side.
After marriage, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women can become the focus of every move. Zhang Xiaohui's just right rounded figure is unique in the entertainment industry, coupled with unique clothing, it has become a fashion darling for a while.
The dividends brought by this marriage to Zhang Xiaohui are not only popular, but also a steady stream of wealth opportunities.
At that time, countless fashion weekly magazines invited her to appear on the cover, and as long as she wore a dress and a piece of jewelry, it was bound to become a hot seller. At that time, she was mixed up in the Hong Kong fashion circle, and the spring breeze was proud.
On the contrary, after marriage, Zhong Zhentao's career development was not good, and his income also decreased sharply.
One grew up with no worries about food and clothing, and did not know the sufferings of the world; a person who was born at the bottom, worked his own from a young age, and his career went through several ups and downs, and he slowly accumulated wealth with great hardships. The two people's views on money and consumption are bound to be very different.
In 1997, the two failed to invest, and Zhong Zhentao declared bankruptcy. At this time, the relationship between the two will also reach a freezing point.
There were many opinions about the reasons for the bankruptcy, and the Hong Kong media at that time almost sidedly on zhong Zhentao's side, accusing Zhang Xiaohui of losing the family.
Zhong Zhentao held a press conference to say that he was not good at financial management, and the investment documents were all signed by Zhang Xiaohui. Zhang Xiaohui came out to recoil: he let me carry the pot every time he went into a mess, and his hobbies and some habits simply made me unbearable, so he decided to divorce.
A fairytale marriage ends up being a protracted mutual splash of dirty water. As for who is right and who is wrong among them, we have to mention another rich businessman, that is, Chen Yaomin.
Chen Yaomin has a wife who has been bedridden for many years, and rumors between him and Zhang Xiaohui were exposed after Zhong Zhentao went bankrupt in 1997. The incident with Chen Yaomin made Zhang Xiaohui bear the insult of "cheating in marriage", and he carried it for many years, and Chen Yaomin's good feeling of taking good care of his wife accumulated over the years was also lost.
How sweet the original love is, how much dog blood is torn.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" > fairies fall and blossom in the dust</h1>
After leaving Chen Yaomin, Zhang Xiaohui owed a huge debt, and her life was once in trouble.
From a princess to a Cinderella, she once thought of everything: the girlfriends around her are all careers, can do it, very smart, I hate it.
It was yishu's article that woke her up.
Yishu once wrote a column called "Although These Hands Are Small", and Zhang Xiaohui called Yishu after reading it and asked her what she meant.
It's a Lauryn Hill song called "Those hands are small," Those hands are small, but they are mine.
It was this sentence that made her rekindle her hope, determined to take responsibility for her own life on her own hands.
At that time, the emperor's boss Yang Shoucheng saw that she was a weak woman, so he intended to fund her, but she said: You give me money, it is better to give me a job.
So Yang Shoucheng introduced her to a fashion editor, and she was given the opportunity to edit for a fashion magazine, doing 19 editions a week and writing columns for the newspaper.
The books you read won't make you rich overnight, but each one won't fail you.
Because she has read many books before, although her words are not as good as everyone else's, they are better than fresh, which is inseparable from her previous input reserves.
The column got better and better, and then she advanced a salary and opened a fashion store. At first, she worked hard and had no money to buy them, so she sold the designer second-hand clothes she wore. Her clothes made celebrities flock to her, and soon the business was booming, and she paid off the debt by her own efforts.
Now that she is almost 60 years old, she has been carved by the wind and rain for many years, and her heart is determined.
Beauty is her innate advantage, taste is a timeless experience over the years, indomitable is the attitude of life carved into the bones.
A rich woman who is pampered and habitual in half her life, living in the castle, when the thousands of gold is scattered and the debt is entangled, she can rely on her own strength to succeed in counterattacking, enjoy happiness, and also bear the hardship, which is the most real celebrity.
Years are undefeated beauty, but beauty He has spared years!
