There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Whether Shu Qi is beautiful or not is a matter of opinion. However, in today's entertainment industry, there is no doubt that Shu Qi's existence is unique, but she is also a controversial beauty, both in and out of the show. Dare to be brave, was once a treasure island girl, and she entered the Hong Kong performing arts circle by herself. She also became famous after falling off, embarked on the road of porn stars, constantly breaking through herself, and finally became a powerful actor.
01. The origin of Shu Qi? Why did you take the porn star road again?
Shu Qi, formerly known as Lin Lihui, was born in Taiwan, China in 1976. She grew up in Taiwan and did not go to Hong Kong alone until she was 20 years old. When she first arrived in Hong Kong, Shu Qi lived in a basement of less than 20 square meters. She practiced Cantonese in front of the TV every day and looked for job opportunities until she was discovered by a talent scout and entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry. But fate made a joke with her. Her road to fame is different from the average actress.
In the 1960s, influenced by the trend of sexual liberation in the West, Hong Kong films mixed with romantic plots and luscious scenes have become commonplace. At the end of 1988, Hong Kong began to implement the film classification system, and the electronic inspection scale became loose. The film term "sj film" began to come into people's attention. Sj film usually refers to Hong Kong movies that contain semen and expose scenes. The 1990s was the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and it was also the golden age of Hong Kong sj films. A group of actors who specialized in sj films, especially actresses, became a beautiful scene in the 1990s and was called by people. "Out of the Stars".
Just as SJ films are rampant in the Hong Kong film market, film businessman Wang Jing wants to find an actress who is willing to "take off" to fill the deficiencies of actress Qiu Shuzhen , he quickly took a fancy to a Taiwanese female model, that is Shu Qi, who was still called Lin Lihui at that time, was named by Wang Jing at that time, because at that time there was a well-known film critic in Hong Kong, Shu Qi, who was very disdainful of Wang Jing's popular and philistine works, so the name Lin Lihui was replaced by Shu Qi. Shu Qi embarked on the road of porn star in Hong Kong.
02. Became a "star" and became famous, so it is well known to everyone It is undoubtedly a huge sum of money. After signing the contract, she starred in the first Hong Kong sj film "The Heart Sutra of Jade Futuan". With this film, Shu Qi became famous, and since then she has been wearing the "Porn Star" top. A crown full of thorns. On the one hand, the jade futon made Shu Qi famous in one fell swoop. At that time, in the Hong Kong market, the photo albums and video tapes released, as long as they carried Shu Qi's name and head portrait, would not worry about sales. But on the other hand, after the popularity of the jade futon, Shu Qi's ten tigers It has been fixed in the hearts of the audience, and there is no possibility of turning over again.
Shu Qi recalled that at that time, she was standing on the side of the road alone, waiting for the car to be picked up by the company. When passers-by saw her, they shouted the word "Tao Xing". No one understood the grievance in Shu Qi's heart. She once told her agent Wen Jun said, "I envy Maggie Cheung , but I also know that my path is completely different from hers." Fortunately, it didn't take long for Shu Qi to usher in a turning point in her acting career.
Although director Wang Jing and Shu Qi signed a contract for six sj films, he saw Shu Qi's potential when the second film was filmed. Wang Jing once said in an interview that
"can't let Shu Qi take off again, just right Er Dongsheng asked her to play "Erotic Men and Women", and I asked Shu Qi's manager Wen Jun to help her immediately, so that she could go the way of an actress."
Just as Wang Jing expected, the movie "Erotic Men and Women" really became After Shu Qi's transformational work, "Erotic Men and Women" tells the story of an unlucky little director who, when he has a long way to go, begins to shoot a story of a vulgar sj film. But the idea of the film is not vulgar at all. It shows the persistent pursuit of art by the filmmakers. In this film, Shu Qi played an actress in an sj movie. With her excellent acting skills, she won the Hong Kong Film Awards. The Best Supporting Actress and Best Newcomer awards made her the only actress in the history of Hong Kong film who was transformed from an sj film to win this honor. Even the director Ernest, who was initially reluctant to let Shu Qi participate in "Erotic Men and Women" Dongsheng also praised, "Shu Qi doesn't have to be naked to act, it's equally sexy."
03. Paying for the original ignorance and turning around brilliantly
was recognized for her acting skills, which gave Shu Qi a new understanding of acting. Later, her acting career became wider and wider. , "Glass Bottle" to "Sunset Angel" and "Beauty Grass", Shu Qi gradually got rid of the title of "off the star", and her acting skills are becoming more and more superb in the continuous hone, especially in Hou Hsiao-hsien's film. In "The Best Time", Shu Qi's performance is amazing. In this film, she plays three completely different roles, whether it is the little girl in the pool shop in the love dream, or the nanguan singer in the freedom dream Geisha, a bisexual girl in a dream of youth, Shu Qi's acting skills are delicate and vivid, and she interprets every role to the fullest. Did not come out.
"The Best Time" is the second collaboration between Shu Qi and Hou Hsiao-hsien. Their first film, "Millennium Mambo", once made Shu Qi nominated for the Best Actress at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, but unfortunately she did not win it in the end. This award also made me cry a lot. Until "The Best Time" was shortlisted again, Shu Qi finally got his wish.
When Shu Qi's agent Wen Jun was doing the show, he mentioned that he was proud of Shu Qi, because Shu Qi explained everything with his strength, and put on the clothes of the past one by one, which is also the goal that Shu Qi has been working hard for , when she was young, she used another Hong Kong porn star, Ye Yuqing, as an idol, thinking that what Ye Yuqing could do, she could too. must be famous no matter what, but looking back many years later, Shu Qi said in an interview, "I was only seventeen years old at that time, very ignorant, I didn't know what I was going to do, and I didn't know how much I would pay for this mistake in the future. ." This sentence contains Shu Qi's self-reflection and remorse for his youthful ignorance.
04. After the Golden Horse Award, the love road was bumpy, and she finally entered the palace of marriage.
Some people say that Shu Qi's fate is bumpy. After years of hard work, she still can't get rid of the shadow of the old days. In fact, it is true. Even after winning the Golden Horse Award, she became famous internationally. When Shu Qi talked about the past, she would still cry sadly. According to director Wang Jing's recollection, Shu Qi had just finished filming the sj film, and her mother did not dare to go out during Chinese New Year. She said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings with your family." Even close friends can't accept and understand Shu Qi, and it's not hard for us to imagine the hardships she's endured and the price she's paid on the road of love.
From the movies " If You Are the One ", "No More Lonely" to "Love" and "The Leftover is King", Shu Qi has played older women of different occupations. Most of them fell in love with the wrong person when they were young and wasted Youth was left in the end, but even with the passing of time, every role Shu Qi played was still unwilling to compromise, and she was always on the road to pursue love. Age did not become an obstacle, but instead made her more determined.
Also in real life, Shu Qi is also a very affectionate and sexual woman. In order to wait for the right person, she has been bumpy on the emotional road. Looking back on her acting career, there is no lack of romance news that catches the wind. Among them, she is the most well-known. A story with Tian Wang Dawn. In 1998, Shu Qi and Liming met during the filming of the movie " City of Glass ". In the film, Shu Qi's rhyme and Liming's Hong Kong student were college classmates. They participated in the Baoyu Parade together. When they went to study in France, the love between the two grew with time and distance, and it finally came to an end. When they met again, both of them had already married and established a business, but the love in their hearts had never been extinguished.
In the movie, Yunwen and Hong Kong students have their own families, and their love affair has never been seen. In reality, whether Shu Qi and Liming have ever been in love is also confusing. According to insiders, the two secretly dated for a long time. For seven years, Liming was already a love song prince and a national idol. His parents and fans all thought that Shu Qi was not worthy of him, and could not accept Liming and Shu Qi, a former star who fell in love with some extreme fans, and even As a result, Shu Qi and Liming seemed to have a unified voice in front of the public media, always denying that the two were lovers, until they finally parted ways. Liming married Le Jier, who looked exactly like Shu Qi, and had worked together many times. Dawn and Shu Qi never appeared together in public again, and even if they were on the same stage occasionally, they were far apart and missed the chance to meet.
