Someone once said that if in the 1980s and 1990s, you happened to be a girl and just wanted to be a star, then you should participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant; if you have a backstage, you should participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant; if you don’t have a backstage, you should participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.
A seemingly illogical sentence reveals the real situation of the Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time. Beauty pageant gathers a large number of resources in the circle, including bosses, directors, celebrities and other capital forces. To reach the top here means that what is waiting for you is the most powerful star-making platform in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
And in the beauty pageant that was competing for beauty, who could truly be called the top king?
She is not Deborah , not Zhao Yazhi , nor Guan Zhilin , but Asian Queen Yang Baoling .
1967, Yang Baoling was born in a Hong Kong entertainment family. Her father was a well-known director, and her mother was Li Yunchang, a big star who often appeared as the first female star in Cantonese blockbusters in the 1960s and 1970s.
The family conditions are good, and with the influence of their parents, the young Yang Baoling quickly fell in love with the performance. Whenever her parents return home, Yang Baoling asks them to accompany her to "act" because she likes the feeling of being a princess.
Calm and happy times always seem so short. Yang Baoling has slowly begun to grow up under the kind care of her parents. Looking back, Yang Baoling has become a beautiful and dignified girl next door who is not without youthful vitality.
During the more than ten years of growing up, Yang Baoling not only did not forget her childhood hobbies, but brought it into her study life. In school, Yang Baoling is a resident guest of various art performances. She can do some drama performances, drama performances, and even dances that are not very matched. Both teachers and classmates like this live treasure very much.
Of course, such outstanding Yang Baoling is indispensable for her enthusiastic suitors. Unfortunately, no matter how she pursues her, she will refuse in one sentence: "Young people, you should focus on learning."
Yang Baoling's mother Li Yunchang is a woman with very modern cultural thinking. She believes that girls should constantly broaden their horizons and cultivate their noble temperament so that they can have their own independent thoughts and personality.
So, after Yang Baoling finished high school at Cuinu Academy, Li Yunchang chose to send her to Manchester, England to study abroad. There, Yang Baoling also met her first love, but this is a story later.
Four years of overseas study not only trained Yang Baoling's ability to live, but also cultivated her unique values and outstanding temperament. Seeing that her daughter had such a big change, Li Yunchang was very pleased that her hard work was not in vain.
After returning from graduation, choosing a career has become the top priority in life, but this is not a big problem for Yang Baoling, who has a clear goal in her heart. After consulting her parents' opinions, Yang Baoling decided to start her acting life.
1987, Yang Baoling, who happened to be over 20 years old, chose to participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. With her beautiful appearance and noble temperament, she reached the final, and the final championship with her was Qiu Shuzhen .
Judging from the selection process and mechanism of that year, Qiu Shuzhen was actually more overwhelming than Yang Baoling, but it was revealed that Qiu Shuzhen had plastic surgery before the official results were announced, which was undoubtedly a blow to the organizer who was holding the slogan "Select natural beauty, natural beauty." Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons of all parties, the selection personnel believed that Yang Baoling was more suitable for the title of champion, so Yang Baoling easily won the title of Miss Hong Kong.
Yang Baoling, who won the title of Miss Hong Kong, did not stop her progress. Taking advantage of this momentum, she participated in a series of beauty pageants.
In 1987, Yang Baoling won the title of Miss International Goodwill.
In 1988, Yang Baoling participated in the Miss World competition held in the UK. She used fluent English speaking to communicate and confidently showed all her advantages, thus winning the Asian Queen's championship in one fell swoop, successfully breaking the awkward situation of Hong Kong's zero championship in the Miss World beauty pageant, and successfully becoming Hong Kong's first "Miss World" in the world.
In the same year, Yang Baoling was invited to participate in the Taiwan Miss Ball Selection Competition and won the fifth place.
With so many shining titles, Yang Baoling believes that her opportunity to enter the entertainment industry has matured. Faced with the olive branches that several major entertainment giants in Hong Kong have thrown at her, she decided to choose the powerful TVB as her main battlefield.
Of course, TVB's treatment of Yang Baoling is something that ordinary people cannot enjoy. Whether it is the host work in prime time or the TVB's top star, Yang Baoling can choose at will, as long as she wants it.
In 1987, Yang Baoling partnered with the "Thousand-faced Best Actress" Tony Leung in her screen debut "City Beauty".
In 1988, Yang Baoling participated in the movie "Flying Tiger General" directed by Sammo Hung and starring Jackie Chan .
It can be said that during the three years of TVB, the male protagonist who played with her was either Tony Leung or Andy Lau , or Zhou Runfa or Jacky Cheung . In addition, most of these movies were starring her, and soon Yang Baoling became the most popular female movie star at that time.
Although it is very popular, Yang Baoling has always maintained her low-key personality. Apart from seeing her performances in her works, it is difficult for you to find any scandals about her, so her "alternative" adds to the media's curiosity about her.
In 1990, Wong Baiming strongly invited Yang Baoling to be the heroine Anne in his new work " Happy Ghost Rescue Happy Ghost ". Yang Baoling was nominated for the best actress of the Hong Kong Film Awards for her outstanding performance, and her popularity reached its peak since her debut.
Most people always choose to make money in the years when they were popular, but Yang Baoling chose to retreat when she was the most popular. Since starring in "Happy Ghosts Save Happy Ghosts", Yang Baoling has no new works, and she seems to have quit the entertainment industry silently.
In 1992, Yang Baoling's three-year contract with TVB officially expired. TVB wanted to continue to renew Yang Baoling with generous treatment, but she refused. Everyone thinks that the conditions for TVB are not meeting Yang Baoling's expectations, so she wants to go solo, but in fact this move is her final farewell to the entertainment industry.
When Yang Baoling appeared in front of the audience again, time had come to 1997. In five years, Yang Baoling has experienced all the vicissitudes of the world.
In 1997, some media discovered that Yang Baoling had divorced a man in Australia. Later, it was confirmed that the man was a Hong Kong singer named Chen Rongsen. had worked with Yang Baoling to create a song. His representative works include "Liver and Loyal" and "No Real Letting Go".
It was not until this time that people realized that Yang Baoling withdrew from the entertainment industry to take care of her husband and children and take care of her family. Unfortunately, Chen Rongsen of made her hard work waste. According to Hong Kong media reports that year, Chen Rongsen not only often went to and from entertainment venues during his time in Australia, but even kept a mistress. Finally, he was caught by Yang Baoling in bed at home. So the disheartened Yang Baoling chose to divorce and wanted to make a complete breakup.
However, after the media reported this incident, Chen Rongsen refused to admit it and bit Yang Baoling back. He claimed that Yang Baoling was a woman with strong desires and asked him for two to three times a day. It had to reach more than ten times in a week. He couldn't bear it at all, so he chose to divorce her. Chen Rongsen led the reporter to carefully "visit" the double bed where the two had spent a good night together without reservation. Under his vivid description, Yang Baoling, who was once known as the "pure goddess", completely became the "No. 1 lustful woman in Hong Kong" and had no image.
Faced with such shameless behavior from her ex-husband, Yang Baoling was in tears because after returning to Hong Kong from Australia, she originally wanted to return to the entertainment industry to make a living by filming, and Chen Rongsen seized her weakness and deliberately made her desperate.
Yang Baoling, who was unable to receive any film appointments due to her image damage, could only temporarily rely on ribbon cutting to maintain her life, so she was awarded a very sarcastic title - "Ribbon Cutting Queen". In contrast, her ex-husband Chen Rongsen just cried and told her that she was not easy, but was photographed by the media that she had lived with Zhang Keyi , who was also from the beauty pageant.
After being fed up with love, Yang Baoling is no longer tender. She turns into a strong woman and tries hard to make money. A few years later, she devotes all her savings to the jewelry business. With the successful listing of her jewelry company, she has become a famous businesswoman in Hong Kong.
Then, Yang Baoling moved to Las Vegas , where she met her second husband, Huang Yannian. Huang Yannian is the famous vice president of the marketing department of Caesars Palace Casino. Because Yang Baoling occasionally went to the casino to play cards, the two thought that the other party was very good after several conversations, so they decided to have a further relationship.
Huang Yannian's generosity and maturity made Yang Baoling feel very secure, and Yang Baoling's intelligence also made Huang Yannian love it very much. So, after half a year of dating, the two held a grand wedding feast in Canada and entered the palace of marriage.
Marriage is the grave of love. Yang Baoling thought she would definitely be able to avoid this grave this time, but she was still wrong.
Huang Yannian has traditional Chinese ideas. He wanted Yang Baoling to give up the business at hand and take care of their families with all his heart. However, Yang Baoling, who obviously suffered in this regard, did not want to give up her career again, so she clearly rejected Huang Yannian's request.
Because this conflict could not be resolved for a long time, the relationship between the two still broke down. This marriage, which lasted for 12 years, quietly came to an end.
After Huang Yannian broke up with Yang Baoling, he still insisted on leaving a half-mountain villa and 14 million yuan in deposits to Yang Baoling, which is enough to show how deeply he loves Yang Baoling.
And after experiencing the failure of marriage again, Yang Baoling finally took everything lightly. In order to forget her worries, she began to indulge in the mountains and rivers and play at will.
Maybe God is pitying this miserable woman, and at a friend's party, Yang Baoling happened to meet her first love boyfriend in the UK - Gav.
The two talked about their past at the party and found out that both parties had divorced, and Gav obviously could not forget Yang Baoling, the former lover, who made him worried about in the past. Under his unremitting pursuit and meticulous care, Yang Baozhu finally let go of her inner guard and became someone else's wife for the third time.
, and her husband Gav did not disappoint Yang Baoling's expectations. In order to maintain his relationship with Yang Baoling, Gav sold his family industry in the UK, gave up his career, and went to Las Vegas to live with his wife Yang Baoling.
Nowadays, Yang Baoling has been overwhelmed and happy. I wish her happiness forever.
