When it comes to actresses in the 80s, many people first think of Liu Xiaoqing. Liu Xiaoqing, the leader, said: "She is very good at acting, and I was willing to play a supporting role for her after winning the 'Hundred Flowers Award'. "
This person is Li Xiuming, who is called "the three golden flowers of the Northern Shadow" with Liu Xiaoqing and Zhang Jinling.
Perhaps many people are unfamiliar with this name, and when it comes to her works, it is amazing:
She is the spring seedling in Xie Jin's director "Spring Miao";
She is the Peacock Princess in "Peacock Princess";
She is Xu Xiuyun in "Xu Mao and His Daughters";
21-year-old red all over the country, the rapids retreated when the big red, turned to the sea to engage in business, 40 years old sell potato chips to earn hundreds of millions of yuan, her life is full of legends.
Born in Tianjin in 1954, Li Xiuming showed extraordinary acting talent at a very young age, often playing various roles and playing with children.
At the age of 18, Li Xiuming, who had already come out of the world, did not listen to his parents' arrangements, but chose to enter the tianjin people's art theater student class.
It was this choice that made her a smooth life after that.
After this study, because of his outstanding performance, he was finally left in the Tianjin People's Art Theater and became an actor.
Li Xiuming, who has just entered the theater, is not in a hurry to shine on the stage, but from the role of running the dragon set, she knows that "the drama has no size", and only by constantly honing her acting skills can she stay on the stage longer and be liked by the audience.
Sure enough, 2 years later, Li Xiuming was favored by director Chen Qiang when he was serving as a newspaper clerk. Chen Qiang is Chen Peisi's father, with an old and spicy eye, and recommended this agile girl to his friend Xie Jin.
At that time, Xie Jin was looking for a heroine for his movie "Spring Miao", and Li Xiuming, who was still a newcomer, was very uneasy in his heart, afraid of failing to live up to the kindness of teacher Chen Qiang. And Xie Jin also watched Li Xiuming's audition with a very casual mentality, and he did not expect that Li Xiuming exceeded his expectations.
"This is the female captain I've been looking for!" Xie Jin immediately decided to use Li Xiuming to play the heroine of "Spring Miao".
In this way, Li Xiuming realized the transformation from the drama stage to the screen.
Although "Spring Miao" is a small production, Li Xiuming became popular with this work, allowing more people to know her.
More importantly, Li Xiuming was also transferred to the Beijing Film Studio. In this temple of art, there are a number of big-name actors, including her Bole mentor Chen Qiang.
Here, Li Xiuming got more opportunities.
Because of his previous performance experience on the stage, Li Xiuming was very successful on the screen.
He has starred in films such as "Young Generation", "Sweet Career", "Julan" and so on, whether it is the enthusiastic and longing "Tang Zhaodi" in "Sweet Career", or the flower drum artist Feng Ni in "Julan", Li Xiuming has won the love of many audiences with her fresh and lively image and natural and simple performance.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is "Peacock Princess".
In 1980, the movie "Peacock Princess" starring Li Xiuming and Tang Guoqiang, handsome men and beautiful women plus romantic mythological stories, was loved by the audience.
Tang Guoqiang was a gentleman and a white-faced scholar, and became the "Prince Charming" in the hearts of countless audiences; the gentle and generous, beautiful and handsome "Peacock Princess" played by Li Xiuming in the film became an idol in the hearts of many people at that time.
"Peacock Princess" once became synonymous with Li Xiuming, a goddess of an era who reached the peak of acting, and no one could stand out.
Even director Xie Jin made an exception for her and cooperated again.
Later, Li Xiuming starred in "Xu Mao and His Daughters", in the film, Li Xiuming's interpretation of the four girls strongly shocked the hearts of the audience, and her performance skills entered a new realm and height.
Even Liu Xiaoqing had to play a supporting role for her in the film, and praised her: "Li Xiuming is the best at acting, and I am not reluctant to play a second role for her."
Finally, she won the Best Actress Award at the 2nd Golden Rooster Awards and the Best Actress Award at the 5th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for this film.
This "double shadow queen" honor, she only used less than 7 years, and became the leading figure in the film industry at that time.
After determining the status of a sister in the film industry, she thought that she would always shine in the film industry, but she did not expect that she chose to retreat from the rapids, she clearly knew what she wanted - like the stage, when she knew that this stage was never only herself.
Therefore, she chose to go to the sea to engage in business and became a famous business strong woman.
In fact, it all started with two buckets of potato chips.
In 1994, her good friend director Wang Junzheng brought back two buckets of potato chips called "Pinke" from the United States.
After Li Xiuming finished eating, he was out of control, "I didn't expect it to be so delicious."
At that time, she suddenly had an idea in her mind: Why don't we produce our own potato chips?
In this way, Li Xiuming began to prepare for the business and produce his own brand of potato chips.
From actresses to female entrepreneurs, such a cross-border is not simply explained in one or two sentences, and the hardships are only known by Li Xiuming himself.
She was over 40 years old.
What surprised Li Xiuming even more was that the potato chips he produced were very popular and achieved very good results. She also sighed and said, "My fate is good."
In 1998, Li Xiuming's sales of "Big Treasure" reached 40 million yuan, and at one point it was equal to the "Pinke" potato chips she ate that year.
This also made her a businesswoman worth more than 100 million. It was not until 2002, when the company was acquired by PepsiCo, that it slowly disappeared and drew a satisfactory end.
After selling the company, the 48-year-old Li Xiuming did not want to return to the show business circle, and went to Canada with her husband and children to begin a comfortable retirement life.
Someone once asked her to go out to act again, or give some interviews or attend business events, but she refused one by one. She responded that she just wanted to live her life in a down-to-earth manner.
For a woman, it is not rare to work hard, it is rare to have a clear understanding of herself and know what she wants.
When she is popular, she can retreat in a rapid stream; when she changes careers and engages in business, she can rise rapidly; a woman has such a vision and vision, which is destined to be extraordinary in her life.
Li Xiuming, good looking!
