The 1980s and 1990s were the golden age of Hong Kong film and television works. Many film and television works are called classics and are still difficult to surpass.
This era is also the era when Hong Kong actresses shine, with many actresses vying for beauty and a hundred flowers blooming.
and The popularity of Joey Wong's has added a strong touch to the Hong Kong film and television industry, and Joey Wong has firmly occupied a place in the Hong Kong film industry where there are many beauties.
In 1987, the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Tsui Hark turned out, allowing Joey Wong to reach the top position in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and became as famous as Maggie Cheung , Chung Chu-hong and other big-name actresses.
Dressed in white, with flowing hair, and her cold and resentful eyes, I felt pity for her. Nie Xiaoqian, played by Wang Zuxian, subverted the traditional image of female ghosts in people's minds, and the relationship between the tragic female ghost Nie Xiaoqian and the infatuated scholar Ning Caichen The poignant love is even more moving.
Although this movie has been remade many times, in the hearts of countless movie fans, Wang Zuxian has long been equated with Nie Xiaoqian, and no one can replace them.
The image of Nie Xiaoqian created by Wang Zuxian has never been surpassed so far. Movie fans even lamented that "there is no more Nie Xiaoqian in the world". This is by no means an exaggeration.
However, Joey Wong resolutely quit the entertainment industry during his peak period and suddenly stopped acting, which made fans feel regretful.
So, how did Joey Wong get into acting? And why did he suddenly "withdraw from the circle"? Today, let us enter the world of the goddess Wang Zuxian to find out.
Joey Wong was born in Taiwan Province in 1967. He grew up in a wealthy family. Becoming a film and television star was not his original dream. On the contrary, her father had already planned her career direction.
It turns out that Wang Zuxian’s father Wang Yaohuang is a well-known basketball player in Taiwan Province. Seeing his daughter growing up, Dad Wang felt happy.
For no other reason than because his daughter is a good basketball player due to her height and frame, Dad Wang wholeheartedly hopes that his daughter can develop in the field of basketball like him.
At first, Wang Zuxian followed his father's wish and devoted himself to professional basketball training.
However, in 1982, when Wang Zuxian was 15 years old, something unexpected happened to the family and completely changed the trajectory of Wang Zuxian's life.
It turns out that this year, as an athlete, Joey Wong was discovered by a talent scout during a basketball game and shot an advertisement for the sports brand "Adidas". As a result, Joey Wang entered the public eye as an advertising model, and in entertainment Circle emerges.
With his tall figure, beautiful appearance, and youthful atmosphere, Wang Zuxian is famous in Taiwan Province. It also made Wang Zuxian make a life-changing decision.
She gave up the "easy basketball path" paved by her father and turned to focus on the film and television industry.
But she doesn't know whether what awaits her is a blessing or a curse.
Wang Zuxian is undoubtedly lucky. As soon as he entered the film and television industry, he was the heroine of the film.
In 1984, while still in college, Wang Zuxian made his film debut "The Lakeside Will Be Very Cold This Year". The broadcast of this film made Wang Zuxian an instant hit in Taiwan, and he won the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer. honor.
However, the meaning of this movie to Joey Wong goes far beyond that.
Speaking of this movie, there is another interesting thing that I have to mention.
This movie also has a name, called "Ghost by the Lake", and the character played by Joey Wong in this movie is also a female ghost, which probably also hints at her incomprehension with the screen character of "Female Ghost" The relationship laid the foundation for her later role as Nie Xiaoqian.
It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in this movie that Wang Zuxian was spotted by a nobleman and extended an olive branch to him. Who is this noble man? This is Fang Yihua, one of the managers of Shaw Group in Hong Kong.
The Shaw Brothers Group plays a decisive role in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and Fong Yihua is the wife of Shao Yifu, the founder of the Shaw Brothers Group.
Not everyone can win the favor of the proprietress of Shaw Brothers Film and Television Group, and if Wang Zuxian is lucky enough to get this opportunity, he will not let it go.
Facts have proved that Fang Yihua really hit the mark. Wang Zuxian has made a name for himself in the Hong Kong film and television industry by virtue of his good looks and pure and bright charm.
What made Joey Wong famous in the Hong Kong film and television industry was the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" we mentioned at the beginning of the article. This movie is Wang Zuxian's masterpiece and also made Wang Zuxian successful.
But in fact, Wang Zuxian almost passed by "Nie Xiaoqian" back then.
At first, Joey Wong was not the best candidate for Nie Xiaoqian in director Tsui Hark's mind, and he even refused to cast Wang Zuxian at one point.
But when it comes to what he wants, Wang Zuxian has never been shy about it, and he has always dared to fight for it in the choice of roles.
Therefore, when she learned that director Tsui Hark was going to film "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Zuxian immediately recommended herself. She herself also said that she had to work hard to win the role of Nie Xiaoqian.
However, Wang Zuxian’s self-recommendation was rejected.
Director Tsui Hark is not unfamiliar with Wang Zuxian. On the contrary, they have already collaborated before "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Wang Zuxian's beauty is undeniable. Director Tsui Hark even believed that Wang Zuxian's beauty does not need any makeup, and has its own charm without makeup.
However, Director Tsui Hark's vision of Nie Xiaoqian is sexy and refined, and Director Tsui Hark has doubts about whether this "masculine" girl who is 170+ and was a basketball player can interpret this sexiness. .
After Wang Zuxian's repeated requests, Tsui Hark gave Wang Zuxian the opportunity to audition.
It was this trial scene that made Director Tsui Hark think that Nie Xiaoqian must be Wang Zuxian.
When Joey Wong puts on Nie Xiaoqian's outfit, the elegant white shirt and Wang Zuxian's cold and refined face, with a slightly sad expression, complement each other. Isn't this exactly the image of Nie Xiaoqian in director Tsui Hark's mind?
Therefore, Director Tsui Hark immediately made the decision to cast Wang Zuxian, so that the image of Xiao Qian, who is charming but not vulgar, coquettish but not gorgeous, and charming, becomes a screen classic that touches the DNA of a generation. The success of the movie
also led to Wang Zuxian and director Tsui Hark joining forces several times to create another good story.
Whether it is the Snow Chihiro who challenges a woman to disguise herself as a man in "The Invincible East", or the demonic yet kind-hearted Bai Suzhen in "The Green Snake", Wang Zuxian can always play the characters just right. His character makes the audience shine.
Joey Wong is not only popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she is also one of the few Hong Kong actresses who became popular throughout Asia in the 1990s.
Major Japanese magazines have rated him as the most popular foreign artist several times. Even the cosmetics brand " Shiseido ", which has not invited foreign celebrities to endorse for decades, also invited Wang Zuxian to be the spokesperson.
The same is true in South Korea. The first episode of the popular Korean drama " please reply 1988" has a scene of Wang Zuxian, comparing Wang Zuxian with Sophie Marceau, calling them the figures that made men crazy in that era.
In 1993, Joey Wong even went to South Korea for an interview, which became popular in South Korea.
But at this time, people knew one thing. It turned out that Wang Zuxian was not from Taiwan Province.
Wang Zuxian's ancestral home is Shucheng, Anhui. Although he was born in Taiwan Province, his grandfather Wang Guofan often talked to him about his days in Anhui since he was a child, and told him the deeds of his great-grandfather Wang Renfeng.
Wang Renfeng was an early revolutionary. He sacrificed his arm for the revolutionary cause and played an important role in the development of education in Anhui Province. He founded Shucheng Middle School and served as the first principal of Shucheng Middle School.
When great-grandfather passed away, Wang Zuxian had just been born. Although they have never met each other across the Taiwan Strait, Wang Zuxian has been full of admiration for his great-grandfather under the influence of his grandfather since he was a child, and he also has an indescribable affection for Shucheng .
If you don’t forget it, there will be repercussions. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion in 1992, Wang Zuxian and his grandfather were invited to return to Shucheng to pay homage to their ancestors and visit relatives.
And this time she returned to her hometown to find her roots, and she also did a big thing for her hometown.
Wang Renfeng
When Wang Zuxian returned to her hometown, she saw with her own eyes the inconvenience of the road conditions in her hometown. This small road made her miss it deeply.
The following year, Wang Zuxian donated 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to fund the renovation of this road. Therefore, this road was named "Zuxian Road" by the villagers.
People say, "If you are successful in the workplace, you will be disappointed in love." It may be because the career of acting is too smooth, and Wang Zuxian's love life is not all smooth sailing.
He had been entangled with a man on and off for fifteen years, but eventually they parted ways. And this person is the famous Taiwanese singer Qi Qin .
Just when Wang Zuxian first showed his talents with the filming of his first movie "The Lakeside Will Be Very Cold This Year", Qi Qin broke into the public view with the image of an aloof and unruly "wolf", and " Wolf of the North " made him very popular .
The entertainment industry has always had an unwritten rule of "sing if you act well, and act if you sing well". Qi Qin, who became famous as a singer, is preparing to enter the film and television industry and shoot his first movie " Green Grass and Green Sky ". And decided to hand-pick the heroine.
Qi Qin chose none other than the rising star Wang Zuxian, and it was this choice that started the bumpy relationship between the two of them.
As the saying goes, "Love doesn't know where it starts, but it goes deep." Wang Zuxian did not fall in love with Qi Qin at first sight, it can even be said that he has no feelings.
When they met for the first time, Qi Qin directly put a "wreath" around Wang Zuxian's neck, which made Wang Zuxian very unhappy. The fast-talking Wang Zuxian said "I don't like flowers" on the spot, and the scene suddenly changed. Somewhat embarrassing.
During the filming process, the two of them had no sense of CP at all, which made the director and producer worried.
So, he came up with a way for Qi Qin to teach Wang Zuxian to sing and cultivate feelings after filming.
After going back and forth like this, Wang Zuxian was moved by this seemingly unruly man who was actually warm, considerate and talented. The two came together naturally.
However, Joey Wong signed a contract with Shaw Brothers Film and Television Company and went to Hong Kong to develop, but a young couple in love had to separate the two places.
In 1987, another album by Qi Qin came out. Among them, " about winter " not only won him the honor of the top ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, but also made the goddess Wang Zuxian cry.
This song is a song tailor-made by Qi Qin for Wang Zuxian. It expresses his longing for Zuxian vividly. It only took Qi Qin 15 minutes to fill in the song. This is still a high-quality song. The popular classic song "About Winter".
This year, Wang Zuxian, who became famous in his career with "A Chinese Ghost Story", publicly admitted his relationship. Their talented and beautiful couple instantly became a legend in the entertainment industry.
However, "good things in the world are not strong, colorful clouds are easy to scatter, and glass is fragile." The combination of the golden boy and the beautiful girl still cannot withstand the test of reality.
The long-term separation between the two places, with less gathering and more separation, and the huge difference in personality between them caused constant quarrels between the two.
Sometimes they have not slept for several days because of work, and they have to argue over trivial matters. The huge feeling of fatigue hits Wang Zuxian, and their relationship quickly cools down and they part ways.
When Joey Wong was still grieving for his last relationship, another man walked into her world. This man was Hong Kong tycoon Lin Jianyue .
The appearance of Lin Jianyue caused huge waves in Wang Zuxian's life, and was inextricably related to Wang Zuxian's infamy and departure from his hometown.
Lin Jianyue launched a fierce pursuit of Wang Zuxian and even spent tens of millions to purchase real estate for Wang Zuxian. Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with a rich man matching a beautiful woman, but Lin Jianyue has been pursuing Wang Zuxian for three years, but he has not been recognized by the goddess.
Because Lin Jianyue was already a married man at this time, and his mother recognized her daughter-in-law quite a lot.
As a result, Lin Jianyue actually said that he would divorce his wife for Wang Zuxian.
Probably moved by Lin Jianyue's persistence, the goddess Wang Zuxian finally agreed to the rich man's pursuit.
However, what happened next between Wang Zuxian and Lin Jianyue was even more sensational than what happened between her and Qi Qin.
After agreeing to Lin Jianyue's pursuit, overwhelming criticism and abuse came to Wang Zuxian, labeling her a "mistress", and her image of a noble and beautiful girl suddenly collapsed.
However, what made him even more frustrated was Lin Jianyue's ruthlessness and indifference.
Lin Jianyue's mother was firmly opposed to the relationship between the two. She verbally abused Wang Zuxian and used her family property as a bargaining chip to force Lin Jianyue and Wang Zuxian to break up.
Lin Jianyue may have some affection for Wang Zuxian, but he still made a choice in the face of wealth and status.
What's funny is that not long after, Lin Jianyue had another scandal with movie star Yang Caini.
Wang Zuxian, who has always put love first, was hurt by Lin Jianyue's false affection. He was so sad and angry that he went to Canada to heal his wounds alone.
But at this moment, the "lonely wolf" in the distance came back to find Wang Zuxian again.
At this time, Qi Qin was still obsessed with Wang Zuxian, and his songs were full of emotional sustenance for Wang Zuxian. "Your tenderness is as tender as water, and it has made me drunk with love several times..." Qi Qin expressed his love generously through " Don't Let My Tears Stay with Me Overnight ".
Wang Zuxian, who was far away in Canada, was touched by Qi Qin's affection again. His cold heart gradually melted, and the two renewed their relationship.
Wang Zuxian, who has been away from the entertainment industry for a long time, once again appeared in the public eye in Qi Qin's MV " Cliff ". At that time, it was necessary to film the scene of Wang Zuxian running on the road.
Wang Zuxian ran barefoot for five kilometers on the road, and even his feet were worn out. However, Wang Zuxian didn't care at all and said happily:
"As long as Xiao Qige's album sells well, it will be worth it."
Just like a A gesture of passionate love.
Later, the two showed their affection in public many times: they held press conferences together, traveled to Tibet together, hugged each other generously at Qi Qin's concert, and even got to the point of decorating the wedding room and discussing marriage.
However, just when everyone thought that their long love journey would end sweetly, no one expected that a blockbuster was coming towards them.
In August 2001, Qi Qin was taken to court by a woman.
This woman is none other than Qi Qin's ex-girlfriend Fang Meifang . The two had given birth to an illegitimate child.
Fang Meifang asked Qi Qin to pay alimony in the name of her son. For a time, it shocked the music world.
And this seemed to pour cold water on Wang Zuxian again, and her fire of love was completely extinguished. In Wang Zuxian's pure love dictionary, such a thing would never be allowed to happen.
Later, Wang Zuxian said in an interview:
"There is no word marriage in my dictionary"
This shows how frustrated she is.
In October 2001, at the press conference of "", Wang Zuxian suddenly announced that she would quit the film industry and study abroad. At the end of the same year, she went to Canada. Her relationship with Qi Qin eventually ended without a problem.
In 2004, after filming " Beautiful Shanghai ", Wang Zuxian permanently quit the entertainment industry, waving his sleeves and not taking away any clouds.
really reflects the name of the music album she released in 1998, "Isolation from the World," which marked the end of the film and television career of the beauty Wang Zuxian.
Although Wang Zuxian is no longer in the world, her legend still exists in the world.
Messages about Wang Zuxian are constantly being circulated. Some people say that she was in a car accident and had plastic surgery, and some said that she cut off her hair and became a nun and escaped into Buddhism... However, Wang Zuxian no longer cares about all this.
In 2016, Wang Zuxian's father passed away from illness. She returned to Taiwan Province for the funeral, and once again publicly accepted an interview with reporters:
I don't care about anything anymore. My best side has been left to the audience.
Joey Wong in the camera seems to be relieved of his past. However, the 55-year-old Joey Wong is still alone.Perhaps only she knows whether she has let it go or not.
"Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, just watch the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court. There is no intention to go or stay, just follow the clouds rolling in the sky."
Joey Wong is like a dazzling shooting star, lighting up the Hong Kong film world. After several ups and downs, the prosperity came to an end, and the former goddess finally lived the life she wanted.
