In 1993, Ma Jingtao version of "The Story of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" became a hit. Zhou Haimei went to Jin Yong with a photo album and exchanged the old man's signed novel.
Jin Yong couldn't help but sigh, had I known that Zhou Haimei would play Zhou Zhiruo, I would have changed the ending and let her be with Zhang Wuji.
Mr. Jin Yong's admiration for Zhou Haimei is beyond words. It can even be said that all men in Hong Kong can hardly resist Zhou Haimei's charm.
In Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, the title of beautiful Hong Kong star was almost taken over by "Hong Kong sister" and "Asian sister". She has not stepped down from these two tracks, and she seems to be embarrassed to be called the goddess of Hong Kong movies.
But Zhou Haimei is an exception.
She is equal to or even better than those beauty pageant champions, but why did her peak period last only a few years?
Zhou Haimei was born in Hong Kong. Because her parents were busy at work, she lived with her grandparents on a small island. Her personality was like a tomboy since she was a child, very similar to her aunt's personality. She would always have a weird idea in her head. Despite this, Zhou Haimei still had a deep relationship with her aunt, until later, she returned to her parents.
After going to school, Zhou Haimei never stopped, often fighting with boys, and even beating them until they had nosebleeds. There were several times when parents of other children came to visit her, causing her parents a lot of headaches.
But because of her presence, the house was very lively every day. At that time, Zhou Haimei often wore a pair of thick myopic eyes, so she couldn't tell that she was a beauty, otherwise she would receive love letters without mercy.
- When she was six years old, her temperament began to change and she began to dress herself up. Sometimes she always longed to wear beautiful dresses. Her parents were ecstatic to see that she finally turned back into a girl.
In 1985, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was about to be held, and contestants were being recruited. Zhou Haimei's father secretly signed up for Zhou Haimei, hoping that she would have a wonderful experience when she was 18 years old.
Moreover, she has absolute confidence in her daughter's appearance. Even if she cannot get into the top ten, it is enough to be able to show herself on this stage.
After a lot of preparation, Zhou Haimei still participated in the competition. After passing through many levels, she finally reached the top thirty. However, she was defeated when she got here. The reason given by the judges was that she looked stupid.
Zhou Haimei’s parents were very unhappy at the time. If they refused, they would just refuse. There was no need to curse.
However, Zhou Haimei was naturally optimistic and did not think too much. She was still laughing and joking. At this time, a TV station boss came to Zhou Haimei and thought that although she failed to be selected, she was very beautiful.
meant that Zhou Haimei should join the entertainment industry and become an artist. At this time, Zhou Haimei's parents hesitated because they knew that this industry has always been complicated, and with their daughter's innocent character, she might suffer some injustice.
Zhou Haimei comforted her mother and told her that no matter what happens in the future, she will definitely take good care of herself and be smarter.
Afterwards, Zhou Haimei entered TVB's first artist training class, becoming the same generation as Li Yaoxiang.
In the advanced training class at that time, Zhou Haimei learned a lot of basic acting skills, but most of the acting skills of the actors back then were honed in practice.
Acting is much more difficult than she imagined. In addition to the lines, the body, eyes, movements, and expressions are all difficult to figure out.
Zhou Haimei's first drama was the Taiwanese Qing Dynasty drama "The Yang Family General ". In this work, there were Chow Yun-fat , Tony Leung , Andy Lau and other stars, but Zhou Haimei was just a vase there. .
When it was time to shoot, I couldn't even find the camera, I didn't know how to act at all, sometimes I couldn't even figure out the lines, and I was very nervous seeing so many celebrities on set, and I couldn't even speak properly.
Sometimes, when someone calls her name, her face turns red. Because of her cute appearance, other male stars treat her as a treasure, protect her and love her. With her beautiful appearance and charming temperament, Zhou Haimei became the target of TVB's promotion. She starred in the TV series "Intolerance" which was the highest-rated TV series in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia at that time. She was also named "The Most Popular Actress in Hong Kong" for three consecutive years.
Suddenly, it was so popular that even singer Jacky Cheung found Zhou Haimei to be the heroine of the MV for "Kiss Goodbye". Directors from other film and television circles also invited Zhou Haimei.
But everyone knows that Zhou Haimei's acting skills are really bad, but it's just because of her beauty.
One day in 1989, Lu Liangwei's father called Lu Liangwei aside and started complaining:
"Your wife Zhou Haimei is really bad. She says she wants to go out to film every day, but she doesn't serve me."
Lu Liangwei 1 After hearing this, she asked Zhou Haimei. Zhou Haimei felt aggrieved. She was an actor and had to go out to work frequently. How could she stay at home and take care of her father-in-law all day long?
The two began to argue and quarrel, and the quarrel became louder and louder. Lu Liangwei walked away.
Since then, there have been rifts in the relationship between the two.
In fact, the relationship between the two is not very strong, or in other words, their marriage is a wrong start.
After Zhou Haimei was highly praised by TVB, she became a favorite in the Hong Kong film and television industry at that time. At that time, Lui Liangwei also became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait with his role as " Ding Li ". The company
arranged a joint drama for the two of them, called " Island Storm ", and gave Lu Liangwei a task to hone and train the acting skills of the second female lead Zhou Haimei.
Of course Lu Liangwei was happy to help the beauty, so he personally taught Zhou Haimei the drama and taught her how to express some of the character's characteristics from the details.
At that time, Zhou Haimei had lost her shyness and immaturity. Facing the teachings of her seniors, she would not blush at every turn, but was very relaxed.
Lu Liangwei saw Zhou Haimei listening attentively and looking very cute, so he couldn't help but fall in love with her. Lu Liangwei was originally a wanderer and very stylish.
Zhou Haimei also had a very good impression of him. Besides being young and ignorant, she didn't know what love was. The only thing that was certain was that if your heart beats, you should seize the opportunity and don't miss it.
In this way, the two people slowly came together from the sympathy at the beginning.
At that time, they were both in the stage of career development, and falling in love would undoubtedly affect their future. After a date, Zhou Haimei leaned in Lu Liangwei's arms and was thinking about how to solve this problem. Lu Liangwei told Zhou Haimei not to make it public.
In this way, they began an underground love affair.
At this time, the Hong Kong film and television industry was in a turmoil, with countless new actors emerging. They were all excellent, but Lu Liangwei and Zhou Haimei, who were immersed in love, did not feel the crisis at all and secretly registered for marriage.
In 1988, 33-year-old Lu Liangwei took 22-year-old Zhou Haimei to Las Vegas to register for marriage.
Because it was not officially made public, it was very low-key. There was not even a wedding. The two just completed the wedding ceremony in a small church. At that time, Zhou Haimei had been looking forward to the future that Lu Liangwei could organize a grand wedding for herself.
results, and did not wait.
As for the crisis in their marriage, in addition to Zhou Haimei being too obsessed with work and unable to take care of Lu Liangwei's father, there is also a very important person behind it, and that is Liming.
In 1990, while filming " Back to the Unmarried Time ", there were scandals with Li Ming. It was said that the two were so close that they looked like a couple, and they did not shy away from it at all. At that time, everyone thought they were in love, but they didn't know that at this time Zhou Haimei is already a wife.
As a result, there were soon rumors that Lu Liangwei had intervened in Lu Liangwei's fight to win over Zhou Haimei. What was even worse was that Lu Liangwei beat up Zhou Haimei and Li Ming after the scandal spread between the two.
Although I don’t know the truth of the matter, the relationship between Lu Liangwei and Zhou Haimei has indeed been broken since then.
A few months later, they agreed to divorce, but it was not until ten years later that they officially went through the formalities.
This marriage left a deep imprint on Zhou Haimei's life, and these have faded as time goes by.
When she said goodbye to Lu Liangwei and Liming also left Zhou Haimei's relationship, in those years, Zhou Haimei devoted all her time and energy to acting. It was not until 1998 that Wu Shirong, the chairman of Dickson Group, pursued Zhou Haimei. Relationship status.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1992, Zhou Haimei was driving home in thick fog. She was short-sighted and could not see clearly in front of her. By the time she saw clearly a disco parked on the roadside, it was too late and it hit with a bang. When she got up, the entire driver's seat suddenly deformed, and her valve was pushed up, making her unable to scream or move.
This accident tells us that people with myopia must wear glasses when driving.
After Zhou Haimei was sent to the hospital, it took her a full year to recover.
This car accident not only caused Zhou Haimei's physical injury, but also caused her to lose the opportunity to participate in Tsui Hark's "The Invincible" directed by Tsui Hark .
lost the resources for this drama, and other drama appointments also moved away from Zhou Haimei. There were no performance opportunities, no source of income, and even the rent could not be paid for two consecutive months.
It was during that time that Zhou Haimei felt that she had reached the bottom of her life. She hid at home and cried all day long. Seeing the female stars who had played supporting roles for her in the past, all shining in front of the screen, she felt sour and sad in her heart.
Fortunately, at this time, she met the well-known Taiwanese producer Yang Peipei . Yang Peipei felt that it was a pity that a beautiful female artist like Zhou Haimei was left out like this, so she took Zhou Haimei to Taiwan and collaborated with Huang Rihua on a film " "The Last Emperor's Grandson ", which gained good ratings , followed by "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" and "This Life".
She is loved by the audience for her role as "Zhou Zhiruo". Jin Yong also publicly praised Zhou Haimei, saying that he liked Zhou Haimei's version of Zhou Zhiruo very much.
At this time, Zhou Haimei signed a contract with a Japanese agency and shot a very popular photo album in Japan. Countless men collected this photo album, and Zhou Haimei's career reached a new peak again.
As a result, just after filming "Studio Tycoon", an accident happened again, and Zhou Haimei could only temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry due to health reasons.
In 1998, Dickson Group Chairman Wu Shirong pursued Zhou Haimei. They originally planned to upgrade their relationship, but they heard rumors that Zhou Haimei was suffering from lupus erythematosus , and ended up ignoring her again.
After Zhou Haimei heard the rumors from the outside world, she immediately refuted the rumors and said that she was just platelet .
Although he has lost his relationship, his career cannot be lost.
In 2000, Zhou Haimei turned her career to the mainland and also participated in Hu Ge version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes . Although her acting skills have improved, she was still very dull and did not leave a deep impression on the audience.
At that time, Zhou Haimei had just come to Beijing and was not very familiar with Beijing, so she went everywhere to experience it. Once she went to a coffee shop, and it was here that Zhou Haimei met a boy who was 7 years younger than herself.
The man fell in love with Zhou Haimei at first sight, so he began to pursue her. The boy wrote his name on a tissue, and then stuffed it into Zhou Haimei's hand in a handsome way. Their eyes met, and electricity passed through their minds.
Just like that, the two came together.
This boy is an architect, an outsider, and his identity and background are not complicated. This is exactly what Zhou Haimei wants. She just wants to live an ordinary life now, so the two have been dating for twelve years.
The two were very low-key. They were photographed together on the streets of South Korea once. At that time, everyone thought that it was time for them to get married after dating for so many years. However, they never waited for this day.
In 2016, Zhou Haimei admitted at an event that she had broken up with her boyfriend.
Unexpectedly, after spending more than ten years together, they ended up in a bubble. The reason for the breakup was not explained, but it is conceivable that Zhou Haimei, who was already fifty years old at the time, still figured out how to spend the rest of her life.
In a program, Zhou Haimei revealed that she did not want to get married because she did not want to have children, so there was no need to get married.
She also admitted that there was a time when she really wanted a child, but at this age she no longer wanted to have more children. This choice was also a perfect decision for her.
html Zhou Haimei, who is over 50 years old, has chosen to live a luxurious life in Beijing and raise several dogs. The home is also decorated in a warm and romantic way. She feels free at home alone, but she does not feel lonely at all. The company of several dogs makes her very content.
Sometimes she would drive her RV and take her three dogs out for a parade. In her free time, she would be alone at home and very quiet.
occasionally appears on variety shows and participates in some activities. In front of the camera, Zhou Haimei is still as youthful and charming as we have seen before.
In 2021, Zhou Haimei and Lu Liangwei co-starred in "Return from the Armor". The two stood together on the same stage, and people couldn't help but sigh: Time is still there, and the years are ruthless.
I wonder what was going on inside the two of them at that time?
