Yang Naimei is a famous star in the era of Chinese silent films, she has starred in many movies such as Jade Pear Soul and Empty Gulan, and she is not short of fame and money.
However, she has been spoiled since she was a child, spending a lot of money, and she also has two hobbies. One is opium and the other is gambling. Under her profligacy, the money was scattered and she was reduced to a street beggar.
1. Abandon school and break with the family.
Mention Yang Naimei, you have to mention her life.
Her original name was Yang Mingzhu, her ancestral home was Foshan, Guangdong, and she was born in Shanghai in 1904. The Yang family is rich and is a famous magnate in Guangzhou. Yang Naimei is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her parents, and she has been smart and stubborn since childhood. As a teenager, Yang Naimei entered the famous Wuben Girls' High School in Shanghai.
Her parents want their precious daughter to study diligently in preparation for studying abroad in the future. However, Yang Naimei has no interest in learning at all, she likes to sing, dance, and enjoy the feeling of being noticed.
In 1923, the heroine of "Orphans Saving Ancestors" was popular all over the country, and Yang Naimei was envious, and she decided to try it.
Yang Naimei is charming and charming, and has a temperament in the bottom of a rich lady, her first film opened the market in an instant, and her style impressed the audience.
Her bold performance was unparalleled in the film industry at the time, and after she starred in two films in a row, Seduction and Good Brother, she had the title of Romantic Star.
Her father thought her performance was offensive and asked her to abandon her film and return to her studies. However, Yang Naimei, who was in the limelight, could not listen to her father's advice at all, and as a result, she was expelled from the house, and the father and daughter severed their relationship.
Young and vigorous, it is difficult to understand the well-intentioned parents and the strong love for their children.
I don't know if after many years, Yang Naimei will regret how her insistence on going her own way has deeply hurt her parents' hearts.
In short, since then, Yang Naimei has begun to completely release herself.
2. Negotiate with warlords and win huge sums of money to open a film and television company.
With the increase in the number of works starring, Yang Naimei's popularity is getting higher and higher.
Under the fame, her ambitions swelled, and she did not want to be employed by others. In 1927 she had the idea of starting her own company.
But it takes a lot of money to start a company, and even though she's paid well and spends a lot of money, she barely has any savings.
Just when Yang Naimei was bothering to hurt the money, someone took the initiative to "send charcoal in the snow". 、
Zhang Zongchang, a warlord who was entrenched in Shandong, sent his cronies to Shanghai to see Yang Naimei, hoping that she would go north to Lu. It is said that Zhang Zongchang admired Yang Naimei for a long time, but he did not have the opportunity to meet, so he specially sent someone to invite him. Of course, Zhang Zongchang will not let Yang Naimeibai run a trip, he is willing to fund and help Yang Naimei set up a film company.
Zhang Zongchang has a title, called Three Don't Know: One doesn't know how many soldiers there are, two don't know how much money there is, and three don't know how much his aunt and wife have. Such a general, who paid a huge amount of money to invite Yang Naimei to go north, the intention is self-evident.
For Zhang Zongchang's invitation, Yang Naimei also had a little hesitation, but the urgency of starting a company made her decide to venture north.
For the dissuasion of friends in the circle, Yang Naimei said:
What about that little thing between men and women? Life is a play, we just play a role in the play. If the play asks us to play in bed, then let's do it.
Yang Naimei's gossip has always been the content that Shanghai newspapers and periodicals are chasing, and she herself is somewhat complacent about these, often intentionally or unintentionally creating some "glamorous news" for those newspapers and periodicals, especially the tabloid reporters who specialize in publishing the private lives of celebrities.
Yang Naimei stayed in Shandong for more than half a month. It is said that at that time, Zhang Zongchang had a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days, and he was happy to tirelessly publicize Yang Naimei's film to all walks of life in Shandong. 、
The two are even more like glue, inseparable.
Zhang Zongchang intends to keep her around for a long time, but Yang Naimei likes an unrestrained life and does not want to stay by Zhang Zongchang's side all the time.
In the end, Yang Naimei took a huge amount of money and returned to Shanghai with great pride and set up his own Naimei Film Company.
3, the true color starred in "Strange Woman", Nai Mei Company became a hit.
For the first film that her company wants to shoot, Yang Naimei has long planned.
A few months ago, there was a boiling fire in Shanghai that was hyped up by public opinion.
Yu Meiyan, a young woman in Guangdong, left home to Shanghai because she resisted arranged marriages. To show her love of freedom and informality, her private life is romantic and colorful,
Once, she threw silver dollars at the sidewalk from the upstairs window, and she laughed as she watched the pedestrians rob them.
Yang Naimei is ready to use Yu Meiyan as a prototype to create a "Strange Woman".
She hired a highly talented and famous director Shi Dongshan to direct the film, and hired Zhu Fei, a popular young student in the 20s, to play the male protagonist, and she took on the female lead.
Popular events, coupled with a strong cast, this film caused a sensation as soon as it was released, and it sold well at the box office.
Nai Mei Film Company opened its doors and made a lot of money.
4. Indulge in gambling and become a beggar on the street.
Yang Naimei's life off the screen is generally the same as her image on the screen.
After becoming the boss of the company, she became more and more indulgent to herself. She is not only an addict, but also a gambler.
She indulged in gambling, gradually developing from a small bet with little win or loss to a huge gamble of thousands of dollars, and finally a wild bet of tens of thousands.
When she lost another record of 80,000 silver dollars overnight, her family had little left, and the Naimei company was forced to close.
She wanted to be re-employed as an actress, but found that the show business had already changed.
Chinese films have entered the era of sound, Yang Naimei herself Chinese poorly, and at this time she is nearly 30 years old, and her attraction is much less attractive than before. Coupled with the Tianyi company she works in, Chen Yumei firmly occupies the position of the pillar of the platform, and Yang Naimei has no way to compete.
At this time, Chen Junjing, a fei gongzi who returned from studying in the United States, fell in love with Yang Naimei at first sight, and Yang Naimei, who saw through the cold state of the world, also moved his feelings for Chen Junjing.
Although the Chen family did not agree to the marriage between the two, the two still finished their marriage in a low-key manner and moved to Hong Kong.
After the shadow, Yang Naimei concentrated on being at home, and the two soon had a daughter. The family is happy and harmonious, and it can be said that this time is calm and beautiful.
In 1956, the two Men separated and announced their divorce, the reason for which is unknown.
After the divorce, Yang Naimei, no savings, no skill, a generation of stars, actually reduced to begging on the street.
Fortunately, her daughter and son-in-law heard about her situation and took her to Taiwan.
In 1960, Yang Naimei died of illness in Taiwan, and a generation of stars fell.
Before dying, Yang Naimei said:
Yu sincerely thinks about the past, such as a spring dream, and even thinks about the younger generations in the same industry, taking Yu as a reference, and when he is proud, he must be reserved as a step back, and calculated for his old age.
From a rich lady, to a generation of stars, to street begging, Yang Naimei's life is really ups and downs, perhaps, just in response to her own words, life is a drama.
However, this scene can only be performed once, and there is no chance to start again.
Therefore, act well, live with your heart, plan early, and do not regret it.
