Recently, there was a rumor online that it will be filming the TV series "The Story of the Rose", and it also said that the heroine will be played by Liu Yifei .
As soon as this news came out, netizens were more despised than happy. Even if they were happy, they were all happy that "Sister Fairy" had a new drama to film.
As for the negative, it is because the story prototype of this drama is too old. It is adapted from Yishu
However, this also reflects a fact from the side, that is, Yishu's novels are really popular in the film and television industry. The popular " Golden Years " in 2021 and "My First Half of Life" in 2017 are TV series adapted from her novel of the same name.
Although these two TV series have some loopholes in the plot, they are still in line with the values of today's society in general. For example, advocating that women should be independent is not only the concept that Yi Shu has always adhered to, but also the reason why her novels can last forever and are adapted by countless directors.
When talking about Yishu, we will lament that she has the leading concept and question the "absurd things" she did when she was young and frivolous.
She despises Qiong Yao, snatches her best friend's boyfriend, and also comments on Li Jiaxin is so beautiful that she has no soul.
But it is such a "female fighter in the literary world", but his temperament changed drastically when he was 40 years old, and then he willingly became a "housewife". What little-known story behind this?
Yishu, who is 76 years old this year, what is his life like now?
01
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, a large number of literary and artistic talents from the mainland flocked to Hong Kong. They were there to exert their wisdom and inspiration, contributing to the future prosperity of the Hong Kong circle with many stars.
These include the literary genius Jin Yong , Ni Kuang , and the music genius Huang Zhen. Of course, the protagonist Yi Shu is indispensable in this article.
Someone may not know the relationship between Yishu and Ni Kuang. They are brothers and sisters. Yishu's original name is Ni Yishu . She ranks sixth, with 4 brothers and 1 sister on it. Ni Kuang is her third brother and she also has a younger brother.
html When she was 05 years old, Yi Shu came to Hong Kong from Shanghai with her parents. At that time, her older brothers and sisters did not follow her to Hong Kong, but had been developing their own careers in the mainland.It has to be said that the Ni family definitely has the genes of academic masters. Although Yishu's father is just a small employee, all his children are talented. Yishu and his siblings are 7. Some of them have become famous accountants, while others have become engineers. Even Ni Kuang, who is the least worry-free, and Yishu himself have become famous writers who are famous in Xiangjiang.
1957, Ni Kuang, who caused a big disaster in Inner Mongolia, came to Hong Kong all the way.
At that time, a novelist was experiencing a craze for novels, and novelists took advantage of the situation to become high-paying professions.
After realizing this situation, Ni Kuang, who had been moving bricks at the construction site for several months, resolutely resigned and went home to write novels. After all, the novels in the newspaper were just easy to read for him.
And his confidence is absolutely reasonable, because he spent an afternoon writing the novel "Buried Live", which was then published in the "Building Daily" and received a royal fee of 90 yuan.
And his younger sister Yishu is even more powerful. He published his first article at the age of 22, and Yishu published an article in a magazine at the age of 14.
Yishu embarked on the path of a writer, which is definitely due to talent, plus the guidance of the third brother and the overall environment.
Because she likes reading and has a good memory, the words that Yi Shu remembers in her mind will become her tools for making money in the future.
. Looking at the writing experience of the third brother making money every day, and when he made friends in literary circles such as Jin Yong and Gu Long , Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" happened to be just established, and it was time to need writing talents.
So, under the various factors of the right time, place and people, in 1963, 17-year-old Yishu dropped out of school and became an editor at Ming Pao.
and third brother Ni Kuang never missed the manuscript, Yishu's writing depends entirely on her mood. If she is in a bad mood, then the Yishu column of magazines across Hong Kong must have a skylight.
Therefore, the magazine never dared to urge Yishu's manuscripts at that time. When she had to urge her, she also asked her brother Ni Kuang to send her a few words.
Because of Yi Shu, a young lady who is just a little bit of temper, a joke is also popular in the media industry in Hong Kong: "Although we chase Miss Yi every day for manuscripts, you must not offend her. She is not old enough, and killing people will not pay for her life."
However, who said Yi Shu has the capital to be arrogant? At that time, she worked as a reporter in Ming Pao during the day and wrote exclusive interviews with celebrities, and stayed at home at night to write columns for other publishing houses, or write her own novels.
In Hong Kong, Yi Shu's romance novels are the best, as famous as Jin Yong's martial arts and Ni Kuang's science fiction.
As her novels full of feminine independence were published one after another, in the romance novel world, there was also a saying that "Taiwan has Qiong Yao, and Hong Kong has Yishu".
However, Yishu has a different view on this. She disdains the same as the "romance godmother" Qiong Yao, and even threatens that only little girls can read novels written by Qiong Yao.
02
However, Yishu said that he hated the love stories written by Qiong Yao, but in terms of love practice, she fucked all the bloody plots that often appear in Qiong Yao's novels.
18 years old, Yishu fell in love with the down-and-out painter Cai Haoquan , and was not handsome. , there is no career.
Obviously, this relationship will definitely be strongly opposed by Yishu's parents, but how could Yishu compromise easily?
So, Yishu staged a scene where she pregnant before marriage and forced her parents to agree to the marriage. Then, 19-year-old Yishu married Cai Haoquan, but their marriage only lasted for 3 years.
In fact, Yishu was with Cai Haoquan, which was wrong from the beginning. The reason why Yishu fell in love with Cai Haoquan was completely hard. The lyrics of the line "What you can't get is always turbulent". As a talented woman in the literary world, she is used to the good face of men to her, so she is naturally interested in a man like Cai Haoquan who ignores her. So she thinks that is love Love. After getting married, this feeling naturally disappeared. In addition, Yishu was used to living a luxurious life. She could buy a coat with a monthly royalty fee, but Cai Haoquan could not support her consumption ability at all.
Therefore, this marriage without economic foundation and love naturally declined.
This failed marriage did not let Yishu learn from it. On the contrary, she ran all the way on the wrong path.
She was in a bad mood after the divorce and stayed with her best friend Zheng Peipei all day long.
At that time, Zheng Peipei was the leading actress of Shaw Brothers , and was He fell in love with the popular young actor Yue Hua , and Yi Shu insisted on interfering with him. When he was in love, she had to follow him. The most important thing is that she lied that she had night blindness and insisted on her best friend's boyfriend, that is, Yue Hua sent her home alone. We should be able to guess the follow-up story of
, just like the "bloody plot" in Qiong Yao's novel.
Yue Hua, under Yi Shu's crazy hint, his loyal heart to Zheng Peipei began to shake, and his strangeness was noticed by Zheng Peipei, and then broke up with him.
1971, the angry Zheng Peipei announced that she would retire from the film industry and moved to the United States to get married to her newly met rich boyfriend.
At the same time, Yishu, taking advantage of his identity as a well-known writer, publicly published an article in a magazine titled "Why does Yishu love Yue Hua?" 》 to show her love for Yue Hua, and then she fell in love with Yue Hua and lived together.
However, the things you get by snatch always make people worry about gains and losses, and Yue Hua is like this for Yi Shu.
Xing Peipei is clearly far away in the United States and is married, but Yishu will still be jealous of her for no reason.
Occasionally, I saw news about her and Yue Hua’s previous ones in the newspaper, and Yi Shu would be furious. Once, Yi Shu actually stabbed Yue Hua several times with a knife, and the stabbing position happened to be where Yue Hua was sleeping. The scene made Yue Hua think about it after watching it.
It’s a coincidence that Yi Shu and Yue Hua’s relationship was already shaking, but at this moment, Zheng Peipei, who was far away in the United States, suddenly wrote a letter to Yue Hua, with care and greetings from friends, and there was no way to cross the line.
But after seeing it, Yi Shu felt like she was possessed. Not only did she have a big fuss with Yue Hua, she also published the letter written by Zheng Peipei in the newspaper in anger.
It was this move that completely angered Yue Hua. He believed that Yishu could hurt him at will, but not affect other people's families, which he could not tolerate.
So, Yue Hua and Yi Shu broke up.
Yishu couldn't accept this result at all. She even left the temper of a young lady who had developed for many years and knelt down and admitted her mistake with Yue Hua just to save the relationship.
But Yue Hua had decided to leave at that time, and it would be useless to kneel down and admit his mistakes.
Not only that, a few years after the breakup, Yue Hua also married actress Tianni , and his relationship with Yi Shu was completely overturned.
03
Although Yue Hua's marriage completely made Yishu and him a person from two worlds, in Yishu's novel world, there has always been a man named "Jiaming".
In the novel, Jiaming is a gentleman with a graceful gentleman, and the heroines will fall for him, which is exactly the same as Yi Shu's evaluation of Yue Hua.
Yishu once said: "Yue Hua gives people the feeling that he is a good person. He has a good face and a good person's personality. He is the kind of good person who will naturally take advantage of others. Because everyone knows that if you take advantage of Yue Hua, you will not have any worries." With such a comparison, everyone in the world guessed Yishu's little thoughts. Jiaming's prototype is Yue Hua. Since you can't love him, let your lover become the character in her novels, and then continue your relationship in your writing.
I have to say that love breaks up is indeed a catalyst for inspiration. After saying goodbye to Yue Hua, Yi Shu successively wrote representative works such as " Xibao ", "The Story of the Rose", and "My First Half of Life".
All of these novels convey the idea that women should be independent. In real life, she also implements this idea to the end. She most dislikes the actresses in the entertainment industry who like to cling to the powerful, such as Li Jiaxin.
She commented on Reisi Ka-sin, "Beautiful is beautiful, without any soul", and also wrote the story of Reisi Ka-sin's "relying on his good deeds" into a movie called "Indian Treasure".
The heroine of the novel is called "Liu Yinzi". The outside world unanimously believes that this name is a satirizing Reis. At that time, she stuck to the rich Liu Luanxiong all day long, which looked very much like Liu Luanxiong's shadow, and "Liu Yinzi" is the homonym of "Liu Yinzi".
People often say " forty is not confused ", which means that people will become wise and reasonable at the age of 40, and this is also very appropriate for Yishu.
Yishu once said in "My First Half of Life", "Everyone should get married twice, once when she was young, once when she was middle-aged, and she would not learn lessons in middle age. There is no marriage that is not hardworking and happy, and you must strive for experience."
Yishu seemed to really figure it out when she was 40 years old. Her second marriage also came at that time. The other party is said to be a university professor, with a surname of Liang, and is the most suitable stable man to marry in traditional concepts.
After getting married, Yi Shu gradually put away his hot temper. After more than 20 years of independent efforts, Yi Shu rarely became a housewife.
She risked her age and gave birth to a daughter in her 40s, and then the whole family immigrated to Canada to live.
It is said that while working at a Canadian radio station, Yi Shu also met Yue Hua who was working on a TV station, but the two just passed each other and did not say a word.
Yishu is so decisive, just like she treats her biological son.
In 2013, a director named Cai Biancun released a documentary called "Mother's Day", which tells the memory of his mother in his mind, but unfortunately he will always stop at the age of 11.
And Caibian Village is the biological son of Yishu and her ex-husband Cai Haoquan. They divorced that year, and the son was awarded the ex-husband. At first, Yishu would visit her son, but she did not visit her son again after she was 11 years old.
In 2000, with the death of his father Cai Haoquan, Cai Biancun became more and more eager for family affection, but until his documentary was published, Yi Shu did not want to recognize him.
Although Yi Shu used a short composition to express her love for her son, she also responded: "Your father has wasted her first half of her life, and now are you going to waste her second half of her life?"
The implication is that Cai Biancun will not provoke her again.
Yishu's move was immediately labeled as "cold-blooded and ruthless". Who told her to refuse even her own son.
. When dealing with the daughter born to her current husband, Yishu is a kind mother. She personally experiences the little things like sending her daughter to school.
Now Yi Shu is 76 years old. She is far away from the complex entertainment industry and lives her own little life in a foreign country. She has long since "suggested the country" and commented on various figures in the media.
Even though she now makes remarks on social media from time to time, those are basically sentences she excerpts from the novel, and there are no comments from her current situation.
On July 3 this year, the well-known Hong Kong writer Ni Kuang passed away for some reason. As the younger sister Yi Shu still had no movement. It is rumored that Yi Shu had not contacted her brother Ni Kuang for more than 20 years, and this seems to once again confirm Yi Shu's cold blood. Regarding Yi Shu's evaluation, people are polarized. While some people appreciate her talent, they ignore her lack of human nature.
And some people despise her because of the ridiculous things she did, and simply resisted her novels.
In fact, this is a common problem for many artists. They are geniuses and pioneers in one aspect, but this does not mean that they are perfect people. As long as we understand this, we can take Yishu's most of his life full of contradictions.
