At that time, Maggie Cheung was already the wireless boss Hua Dan, a hot actress, who had never suffered such grievances, but her temper was also very stubborn, and she had to hold back tears to complete the shooting.
At that time, Jackie Chan, who was extremely unrecognized by Maggie Cheung's acting skills, could never have imagined that this young girl in front of her would become the first actress in China to win the Cannes Film Queen in the future, and has won the Best Actress of the Hong Kong Film Awards 5 times, becoming an outstanding representative of the Acting School in the Chinese film circle.
How did Maggie Cheung suddenly explode her acting skills from a vase and then become a generation of goddesses?
In 1964, Maggie Cheung was born in Hong Kong, when she was 8 years old, the family immigrated to London, England, where Maggie Cheung was the only Chinese girl with black hair and yellow skin, so she was rejected by the locals from childhood, no children were willing to play with her, coupled with her mother's strict discipline, so Maggie Cheung has always been very insecure, which may also be the reason for her later paranoia about feelings.
In 1980, 17-year-old Maggie Cheung returned to Hong Kong, and one day while shopping, Maggie Cheung was accidentally photographed by a star scout, and was pulled to shoot her first advertisement and became a model. A year later, the introverted Maggie Cheung chose to participate in the most popular Miss Hong Kong pageant at the time.
Maggie Cheung later recalled: "Running for Miss Hong Kong was the first and most courageous decision I made in my life. I'm most afraid of competing and comparing with people because I'm afraid of losing. But this time I made up my mind, because participating in the Hong Kong sister election was an important opportunity for me to enter the entertainment industry. Even if I don't win the election, I will still have the opportunity to become an artist, because acting is so attractive to me! ”
Unexpectedly, Maggie Cheung's fresh and unworldly appearance instantly caused heated discussion, and finally won the title of "Most Photogenic Miss" and the runner-up of Hong Kong Sister. And fortunately, he was favored by TVB and upgraded from a model to an artist.
With the help of large companies, Maggie Cheung took over a large number of TV series. With more and more episodes broadcast, Maggie Cheung also has a certain popularity, although everyone recognizes her beauty, but the impression of her is positioned as a "vase"
For Maggie Cheung at the time, her appearance coincided with the special moment when people were looking for new faces, at the moment when the industry had just begun to prosper.
Maggie Cheung later said: "When I entered the film industry, for me, making movies was just a game, and I didn't know anything about it. ”
In 1985, she went to shoot Jackie Chan's new movie "Police Story", which is a rare opportunity for young actors, and Maggie Cheung also cherishes it, but she did not expect to be scolded by Jackie Chan's dog bloody head, which has the scene we started. In the past, Maggie Cheung filmed dramas, and most of the characters played were naïve and somewhat silly girls, who were lively and had more than enough connotations. However, these simply cannot cope with the strict filming of Jackie Chan.
When Jackie Chan shouted "do it again" every time, Maggie Cheung's heart was as if she had been stabbed by a knife, but she was not the kind of little girl who was soft and weak and retreated from difficulties, and she also understood that she could not always be a vase that was not useful in the middle.
At that time, the Hong Kong film critics' evaluation of Maggie Cheung was: "The impression she gives the audience, except for beauty, is really nothing worth mentioning."
In 1988, Maggie Cheung starred in Wong Kar-wai's debut film "Carmen in Mong Kok", which was also a turning point in his career
In it, she plays Hua (Andy Lau)'s girlfriend, who shed herself from her previous image and begins to become an actor with inner expressiveness. This angle is simple and gentle and full of spirit.
Andy Lau once said: The most ideal woman in his mind is Maggie Cheung in "Carmen in Mong Kok".
Before filming "Carmen in Mong Kok", she acted and reacted accordingly to the script, crying and bouncing like a child. When filming "Carmen in Mong Kok", she found the entry point of her feelings. From this point on, she was enlightened. Since then, she has decided to make filmmaking her career.
She once said: "Wong Kar-wai appeared at my lowest point, and he gave me confidence." At that time, I wanted to break through myself, but I needed to have a suitable person to cooperate, and Wong Kar-wai was that person. ”
Wong Kar-wai said: Maggie Cheung is good at using body language to express the heart of the character, and her body language is very rich, which is a very good feature of an actor.
Since then, Wong Kar-wai has opened a door for Maggie Cheung to understand that acting is not just a statement, but a heartfelt one, requiring the whole body and mind to invest, not just on the face or eyes.
With this film, Maggie Cheung was nominated for best actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards for the first time, and people are slowly looking forward to this former "vase", whether her acting skills can be recognized by everyone like his face.
In the next few years, through continuous efforts and more and more skillful acting skills, Maggie Cheung won the favor of some excellent literary and art film directors.
In 1989, she starred in "People in New York" and won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, which was the first weighty actor award in her life.
In 1990, Maggie Cheung finally won the first Academy Awards queen trophy in her acting career with the movie "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off Her Socks".
In the same year, she won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress with a glimpse of the movie "Rolling Red Dust", and since then, her acting skills have been completely recognized. Slowly start to get rid of the vase image.
But everyone did not expect that just when Maggie Cheung flipped against the wind, fate once again made a joke with her. It turned out that Maggie Cheung's American ex-boyfriend was unwilling to be dumped, and in order to retaliate against Maggie Cheung, he actually made Maggie Cheung's love letter to himself and the intimate photos of the two of them public. Due to the hot content of the love letter, for a time, Maggie Cheung became the biggest joke in Hong Kong.
Although this incident gave Maggie Cheung a great blow, it also indirectly made her the first actress in the Chinese film industry to win honors at the three major international film festivals in Europe. This also begins with 1991's "Ruan Lingyu"
The original heroine of "Ruan Lingyu" was set to be Mei Yanfang, but Mei Yanfang was reluctant to go to Shanghai to shoot a drama. So the director Guan Jinpeng called Maggie Cheung, and Maggie Cheung who received the call was ecstatic.
After Maggie Cheung arrived in Shanghai, she wore a cheongsam every day, imitated the walking and standing posture of a Republic of China woman, and slowly found the feeling of entering the play.
It wasn't until before the start-up that the crew began to talk about her, and Maggie Cheung knew what her ex-boyfriend had done. This is a very big blow to Maggie Cheung, after all, people are fearful.
So she threw all the grievances, unwillingness, and humiliation into the play. At that time, Maggie Cheung became another Ruan Lingyu, and everyone who has seen the movie knows that the famous movie star Ruan Lingyu died under the fear of people's words, and was also hurt by the beloved man, and was also overwhelmed under the pressure of public opinion.
At that time, she only wanted to fight for Ruan Lingyu 60 years ago, and she also wanted to fight for her current self.
Finally, Maggie Cheung's acting skills broke out. What was particularly wonderful was looking back at the scene in the crowd, the look in her eyes was so cold and determined, that was her last resistance to this dirty world.
Maggie Cheung swept the Golden Horse Awards and The Golden Film Awards that year with "Ruan Lingyu" and won the Best Actress at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival in one fell swoop, becoming the first actor in the Chinese film industry to win honors at the three major international film festivals in Europe.
After that, Maggie Cheung completely opened her own drama path, and gave up a wonderful role like a big explosion: the gold inlaid jade in "Dragon Gate Inn", the xiaoqing who bravely pursued true love in "Green Snake", and the lonely and sentimental sister-in-law in "East Evil and West Poison"...
In the decade from 1984 to 1994, Maggie Cheung entered the show business circle from a young girl who did not understand anything, to gradually transform into a beautiful woman in the tempering of the years. In the middle, there are too many changes, but the only constant is her diligence.
Because of the continuous good works, Maggie Cheung has unlimited scenery for a while, but at this critical moment, Maggie Cheung suddenly faded out of the audience's sight, from 1994 to 1996, Maggie Cheung disappeared for a full year and eight months, just when everyone thought that Maggie Cheung was going to retire from the circle to get married, Maggie Cheung returned strongly, and a "Sweet Honey" once again hit everyone's face.
"Sweet Honey" is not only one of the most outstanding romance films in the Chinese film industry, but also a landmark work in Maggie Cheung's acting career
In this play, Maggie Cheung's acting skills have reached the level of pure fire, a smile, every move, completely interpreting Li Qiao, a brave and straightforward character who is hesitant in feelings, especially the last crying scene after learning about the death of Brother Leopard, from the initial disbelief to the acceptance of reality and finally complete collapse, this play is known as the textbook of crying drama.
In 2000, Maggie Cheung once again defended her Academy Awards with "Fancy Years", which was her last masterpiece, after which Maggie Cheung began to slow down the pace of filming
In addition to film and television works, Maggie Cheung is most talked about is her emotional life.
Maggie Cheung has talked about a total of 11 relationships, but each one hurts her deeply, the most famous of which is the love affair with Er Dongsheng and Liang Chaowei.
In 1987, Maggie Cheung's love affair with Dongsheng was exposed, when Er Dongsheng was still a small fresh meat of the merry-goer, and was jokingly called "Er Xiaobao". In the process of filming, Maggie Cheung was attracted by Er Dongsheng's talent, and Er Dongsheng also took a fancy to her beauty, and the two hit it off and opened a 3-year-long love.
In order to maintain this love, Maggie Cheung constantly changes herself, and even does not shoot kiss scenes for him, but Er Dongsheng has repeatedly belittled Maggie Cheung's acting skills in public, he loves her appearance, but also thinks that she only has a good appearance. In the end, the insecure Maggie Cheung personally ended the relationship.
Since then, Maggie Cheung has talked about several loves one after another, but in the end she often makes a lot of trouble. Until the filming of "Fancy Years", Maggie Cheung met Liang Chaowei, and two equally lonely souls were naturally attracted, but what was inseparable was that at this time, Liang Chaowei already had Liu Jialing by his side, and in the end, Liang Chaowei still chose to enter the marriage hall with Liu Jialing, who was full of fireworks.
Later, some people analyzed this relationship and believed that for Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung was a distant white moonlight, and Liu Jialing was a cinnabar mole on the tip of her heart, and the white moonlight was out of reach, suitable for love and not suitable for marriage, otherwise over time, the white moonlight would become a meal particle on the clothes. Despite this, there are still many people who regret the separation of the golden boy and the jade girl, after all, Liang Chaowei said that he only loved Maggie Cheung in this life, but love and marriage are not the same.
MissIng Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung no longer has hope for love, obviously what she wants is the simplest love, but why is it a hundred times more difficult than ordinary people, every relationship, she treats it with a moth to the fire, but always ends up alone. Since then, Maggie Cheung has rarely appeared in the public eye.
It was not until the 2014 Shanghai Strawberry Music Festival that everyone saw the goddess again, but although the goddess acted with her hands, she did not dare to compliment the singing level. Treat the ridicule of netizens.
Maggie Cheung humorously said that after filming 20 plays before, she was called a vase, and now that she is singing, can you also give yourself 20 chances?
Throughout Maggie Cheung's life, some people appreciate her wonderful appearance in the movie, and some people pity her emotional life, but more people admire Maggie Cheung's dare to love and hate, strong and independent attitude towards life.
Although Maggie Cheung rarely shoots scenes now, her works are still constantly recalled by countless fans every year, hoping that the second half of the goddess's life can truly live for herself.
