"When looking back, the charming Yiren still blooms quietly and tenderly"
The entertainment industry has never lacked beauties, but there are not many people who can be both "beautiful" and "beautiful" at the same time, and Zhou Haimei happens to be a typical charming Yiren .
In 2019, the filming of the new version of "Eternal Sky and Dragon Slayer" started, and Zhou Haimei played the role of "Mie Shitai". Although she was wearing old makeup, she still couldn't cover Zhou Haimei's appearance and acting skills.
Coincidentally, 27 years ago, Zhou Haimei starred in Zhou Zhiruo in the 1994 version of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", and was named "the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo" at that time, Jin Yong said after watching it: "I knew that Zhou Haimei played Zhou Zhiruo, I Just rewrite the ending."
27 years later, Zhou Haimei, who has been amazed for a period of time, played the Mie Shitai again, this time by netizens as "the most beautiful teacher" .
After more than 30 years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, Zhou Haimei is still as moving as she first saw her, with a beautiful face and a smile.
Here is a little love letter from the movie. Today, let's talk about the story of Zhou Haimei, the "dream lover" in the Hong Kong circle.
1
The rebellious "Little Dongxie" was sent to the beauty pageant stage by her father
In December 1966, Zhou Haimei was born in Hong Kong, China. Her ancestral home is Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. Like Guan Zhilin and Guan Xiaotong, Zhou Haimei is also a descendant of Guerjia's , one of the eight surnames in the Qing Dynasty.
Her ancestors were Manchu inlaid white flags. During the Qing Dynasty, she served as a five-rank official in Guangzhou, mainly responsible for the management of Guangdong provincial affairs.
's good background makes Zhou Haimei's living conditions more favorable. But because her parents were busy with work and didn't have time to take care of her, they put her at her grandparents' house.
She has lived on a small island in Hong Kong since she was a child with two elderly people and an aunt who is four years older than herself.
Er Lao is very fond of children, so even if her childhood was not accompanied by her parents, she lived happily.
But it is precisely because she is used to being unrestrained on the island that Zhou Haimei is known as the "Little East Evil". She is playful and willful and does her own way. After
went to primary school, her parents brought Zhou Haimei back to her side, but her boyish character had already formed, which gave Zhou's father a headache.
At that time, Zhou Haimei liked to fight with boys, play football, and go to the orchard to steal fruit to eat. She also often beat male classmates to the point of nosebleeds.
Zhou's father put a lot of effort into this, trying to bring his daughter back to the track of a lady. So, he taught her various etiquette rules, took her to a western restaurant to learn western food etiquette, taught her to practice calligraphy, and did not allow her to go out with male classmates after school.
But the rebellious factor has long been rooted in Zhou Haimei's heart. She is beautiful and lovely in appearance, but she is still an arrogant and domineering "Xiao Dongxie".
In 1985, a beauty contest was held in Hong Kong. Father Zhou thought it was a golden opportunity, so he signed up for Zhou Haimei. At the beginning of
, Zhou's mother and Zhou Haimei were both opposed. Zhou's mother did not want her daughter to show her face, and Zhou Haimei hated the feeling of pretending to be a lady like this.
But Zhou's father said: "Everyone is only 18 once, especially girls, they should leave a good memory at the age of 18." On the stage of Miss Hong Kong, learn what a girl should look like.
The naughty Zhou Haimei naturally has a way to escape from her father's "trick". Every time she takes the stage, Zhou Haimei thinks: wants me to learn anything, as long as I can be eliminated as soon as possible.
Sure enough, in the final of 30 to 15, Zhou Haimei was eliminated. Because she was deliberately lively on stage, if it wasn't for her good-looking and dignified Zhou Haimei, she would have been rejected long ago.
On the day of
, Zhou Haimei said congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the beauties who were promoted everywhere, as if she had won the grand prize!

signed a contract with TVB and met Lv Liangwei
Although Miss Hong Kong was unsuccessful, Zhou Haimei, who was outstanding in appearance, was targeted by TVB.
Since Zhou Haimei was just an adult, Wireless discussed with her parents to let her take a training class first, and then directly sign the contract after she came out.
Zhou Haimei's parents did not agree, because they wanted her to study and further study, rather than wasting time in the illusory entertainment circle.
But I didn't expect that Zhou Haimei insisted on learning acting. She also made a gambling promise to her parents: "Give me 2 years. If I can't be the heroine after 2 years, I will come back and concentrate on reading."
It's not because Zhou Haimei is interested in acting, but because of her stubbornness in her bones.
1985, Zhou Haimei filmed the first TV series in her life - " Yang Jiajiang ", originally thought that Zhou Haimei could only play a little maid, but got the important role of Yang Jiumei.
This drama was later known as "the strongest lineup in TVB history" 's Taiwan celebration drama. The drama gathered Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung, Andy Lau , Miao Qiaowei , Huang Rihua , Carina Lau , Maggie Cheung , , Zhao Yazhi, and many other big names, and Zhou Haimei has more scenes than Maggie Cheung and Zhao Yazhi.
Zhou Haimei, who was up-and-coming in "Yang Jia Jiang", gained more resources and opportunities.
In 1986, Zhou Haimei received the TV series " Island Wind and Cloud ", and the object of cooperation was the male god at that time - Lv Liangwei.
Handsome men and beautiful women are always attracted to each other. At that time, Lv Liangwei fell in love with the beautiful and moving Zhou Haimei at first sight, and he started a crazy pursuit during the shooting.
Waiting for the day when the film was finished, Zhou Haimei finally agreed to date Lv Liangwei, they were each other's first love.
Young love is pure, in the two years of their relationship, they love each other vigorously, and they only have each other in their hearts.
In 1989, on Zhou Haimei's 23rd birthday, Lv Liangwei took her to Las Vegas in the United States to secretly register for marriage.
At that time, Zhou Haimei had just become a smash hit new actress with "No Mercy".
And Lu Liangwei's career is also booming. There is also a father who is sick in bed all the year round, so he hopes that his wife can return to the family and help take care of the elderly.
However, Zhou Haimei is also in the stage of career development, and she is also an "playable princess" who is accustomed to being spoiled by her family. It is impossible to be a housewife. Therefore, they kept quarreling after the marriage, and finally the marriage only lasted for 5 months, and it was announced that it was over.
Regarding this short-lived marriage, many years later, Lv Liangwei recalled: "This is a youth film, and we didn't understand love at that time." Zhou Haimei understands even more that she has not learned to be a good wife or daughter-in-law, nor will she be willing to be a housewife. This idea also lays the foundation for her future non-marriage.
After letting go of her feelings, Zhou Haimei devoted herself even more desperately to her acting career.
In 1991, she and dawn , Wen Zhaolun starred in the TV series " no regrets in this life " as Shen Wenyi, and once again became the annual ratings champion in Hong Kong.
From 1990 to 1993, the film and television dramas that Zhou Haimei participated in were all very popular, and she became a mess in those years. has been rated as the "Most Popular" actress for three consecutive years, and has also become a popular actress in TVB.
The most classic is Zhou Haimei's role as the heroine in Jacky Cheung "Kiss Goodbye" MV. Her frowns and smiles are so captivating, and her rivalry with Jacky Cheung is even more bloody.
Some people said that after watching "Kiss Goodbye", they found that Zhou Haimei was so sultry even with her earlobes.
Indeed, Zhou Haimei vividly showed her sexy and charming, but not disgusting enchanting.
However, at the peak of her career, Zhou Haimei chose to leave Wireless and did not renew her contract. Because Zhou Haimei was dissatisfied that TVB always gave her the role of a beautiful girl or a good girl, it didn't help her acting skills.
The stubbornness and restlessness in her bones made Zhou Haimei choose to challenge herself, and she signed a new film company.
But because she doesn't know how to socialize, for two years, Zhou Haimei couldn't get the show, and she almost couldn't even pay the rent.
In desperation, in 1993, Zhou Haimei chose to go to Taiwan. It happened that the gold-medal producer Yang Peipei invited her to participate in "The Last Prince", partnering with Huang Rihua, setting a Taiwan ratings record.
In 1994, Yang Peipei's "Eternal Heaven and Dragon Slayer" started filming. She invited Zhou Haimei to play the role of Zhou Zhiruo again, which caused a huge response. Zhou Haimei was also known as "the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo" and became an unsurpassed classic.
At the same time, Zhou Haimei met Lin Weiliang . As Zhou Haimei's swimming coach, the two are often photographed sweetly in the same frame, but no matter what the outside world guesses, neither side has responded, and finally it's gone.
In 1997, Zhou Haimei, who had been silent for 2 years, went to Japan to shoot a photo album at the recommendation of a friend. With her pure and glamorous image, Zhou Haimei became a big hit in Japan. When
was shooting an advertisement, she had a scandal with her partner Nagase Masahiro . Because of this scandal, the Japanese media pointed to Zhou Haimei's nose and scolded her as a third party.
But in fact, this scandal is unfounded. The media just took a photo together and blamed Zhou Haimei for the reason of Nagase Zhengmin's divorce, but she chose not to explain.
In those few years, Zhou Haimei not only started to go downhill in her career, but her emotional life was also bumpy.

Suffered from evil disease, was scolded by Kefu
In 1998, a sudden evil disease completely pushed Zhou Haimei to the lowest point in her life.
That year, , 32-year-old Zhou Haimei was frantically pursued by Wu Shirong, the executive director of Dickson Group, with flowers, famous bags and luxury cars, and Ren Zhou Haimei could not resist.
But the love of wealthy families is always based on false appearances, and it is only short-lived after all.
In 1999, Zhou Haimei was accidentally bitten by a mosquito while filming and suffered from lupus erythematosus. In severe cases, butterfly-shaped erythema will appear on the face, and there will be livedo-like lesions on the fingers. Wu Shirong, who loved beauties, couldn't accept these, so he broke up with Zhou Haimei.
At that time, Zhou Haimei faced a situation of stagnant career and emotional frustration.
In order to cure the disease and restore her appearance, around 2000, after signing for ATV, Zhou Haimei chose to fade out of the entertainment industry and used up all her family wealth to actively treat her.
This kind of disease needs to take medicine all the year round, because the medicine contains a lot of hormones, so Zhou Haimei's figure is gradually gaining weight.
At that time, Zhou Haimei was accompanied by Zhou Jiawen, who used to be the assistant director of ATV. The two were photographed by the paparazzi many times to build a love nest in Kowloon City. However, after two years of trouble, this scandal finally went out.
Every relationship ended without a hitch, making Zhou Haimei bear the infamy of Kefu.
actually said that Zhou Haimei Kefu has no basis, it is completely a ridicule of netizens to her. Zhou Haimei really looked amazing when she was young, and she was absolutely stunning. But she also has fatal flaws - rabbit teeth and protruding mouth.
and Zhou Haimei's myopia of 1,000 degrees, sometimes too much force in film and television dramas will cause staring. Therefore, netizens used Kefu to describe her.
The so-called Kefu phase is a bamboo nose, flat and collapsed bridge of the nose, fierce eyes, high and exposed cheekbones, wide eye sockets, cut cheeks, pointed buck teeth, low eyebrows, and bitter tear lines.
and Zhou Haimei only satisfied with a buck tooth, which was already a language violence in those days.
However, in the face of all kinds of sadness, Zhou Haimei chose to laugh it off, her youth was gone, she chose to start over.

is a drifter of love and enjoys every moment.
In 2004, after her body gradually recovered, Zhou Haimei made a comeback and decided to focus her work on the mainland and settled in Beijing.
Actually, the reason for her to make this decision is because of love.
At that time, she met an architect who was 7 years younger than herself, and the two had a good impression of each other. For her boyfriend, she went to Beijing.Although she was opposed by her family, Zhou Haimei still insisted.
After 10 years of long-distance love running, the two finally parted ways, because the man asked her for marriage more than a dozen times and wanted her to quit the circle and become a housewife, but Zhou Haimei refused.
There is no grassland in her boyfriend's home, but Zhou Haimei, a wild horse, fell in love with Beijing and stayed there for 17 years.
At the same time, Zhou Haimei is also getting older, and she begins to take on some mother roles. The first play after the comeback was the 2008 version of " Heroes of the Condor Heroes ", in which Zhou Haimei played Yuan Hong's mother, Bao Xiruo.
Since then, the glorious era of a generation of goddesses has passed away, leaving only the sighs of the years.
Unlike other Hong Kong veteran actresses, she can really maintain her ageless appearance. Because of the reason of taking drugs all the year round, Zhou Haimei is obviously old with the naked eye.
The fine lines at the corners of her eyes and her flabby cheeks are all traces left by the years. But for these, Zhou Haimei, who is optimistic by nature, never sympathizes with others, and she accepts all changes calmly.
She said: "When you get old, what are you afraid of? Age is just a number that increases with the laws of nature. I enjoy the current state of life and I am very satisfied." With his favorite job, he has performed amazingly in film and television dramas such as "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" and "Ashes of Fragrant Honey".
Although the beauty of the goddess is no longer in the past, her acting skills still stun many young people.
In her spare time, she will take her Schnauzer and two golden retrievers for a walk together, and she often eats skewers at a barbecue stall in Beijing with her friends without makeup.
In the decades since her debut, Zhou Haimei was always torn between "playful" and "amorous".
Some people said that Zhou Haimei talked about many relationships, although I don't know the truth, but each of them ended without a problem. She had also looked forward to love, but she was playful by nature, which made Zhou Haimei want to get a sincere love and not be bound by marriage.
But sincere love often needs to walk into the grave of marriage, searching and searching to the end, Zhou Haimei chooses to be alone and unrestrained.
At the same time, she is also looking forward to the future, and she will never refuse. Isn't this the state we are most envious of?
has gone through a thousand sails, but she is still a girl when she returns, and she can still be beautiful when she looks back and smiles.
I hope that for the rest of our lives, we can be like Zhou Haimei, take care of ourselves and be our own beautiful girls!
