suffered from a terminal illness and saved his life. He was sold to a dance hall and almost committed suicide. " Xiangtai " Chen Lan Different legendary life
In the 1970s and 1980s,
can be said to be the peak of the Hong Kong film industry.
And behind the rise of the entire industry,
cannot be separated from two people: Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan.
1,
Chen Lan, real name Chen Mingying ,
was born in Taiwan Province, China on January 15, 1959,
, but her ancestral home is Harbin, Heilongjiang. From a certain perspective, Chen Lan is also half a Northeastern tomboy, and
is also very generous in character.
But Chen Lan was not happy when she was a child.
As early as 6 years old,
Chen Lan was given a death notice by the doctor.
Unfortunately, I suffered from leukemia .
In order to treat, Chen Lan was filled with tubes every day.
Those days were like a year for Chen Lan, but despite the pain all over her body, Chen Lan kept gritting her teeth and firmly.
Fortunately, there is no way out.
With the help of his uncle who was a doctor,
Later, bone marrow matching was successful,
Chen Lan saved her life from the gate of hell.
Therefore, after he recovered, Chen Lan cherished time very much.
studied hard every day and maintained the first place in school.
But that was when my mother began to be addicted to gambling.
Every time Chen Lan came home with a certificate and wanted to share this joy with her mother, she was always missing.
In 1977, with his own efforts, 18-year-old Chen Lan finally got into the university he liked.
At that time, Chen Lan's dream in her heart was to be a fashion designer.
However, Chen Lan, who was full of longing for the future, was hit to the bottom by a decision made by her mother.
, whose family was not rich, had already made her mother spend all the money in the casino, so she put her idea on her daughter.
When Chen Lan told her mother the good news about being admitted to her favorite university,
What awaited her was a bad news from her mother:
She was sold to a dance hall by her mother.
Chen Lan knew very well what that was.
Although she was a little angry, she was more unwilling.
herself is her mother's biological flesh and blood for ten months of pregnancy.
Why can she be determined to sell herself?
Seeing that his daughter refused, the mother called Chen Lan's biological father, and
asked her biological father to kneel down in front of him and beg Chen Lan.
is like this, and the parents cried and begged Chen Lan to save her mother this time,
, but Chen Lan knew very well in her heart that as long as
has the beginning, there will be next time, next time.
So Chen Lan, who was forced to have no way out, made up his mind to commit suicide:
If you have the ability, you carry me horizontally out.
even if you fight to the death, you don’t want to become a dancer.
Looking at the blood all over the ground, the mother quickly sent her daughter to rescue her.
also called Chen Lan's uncle and cousin over.
After learning about the incident, my uncle scolded my mother hard.
Chen Lan immediately said:
I will help you pay off your debts slowly, but don’t want me to be a dancer.
After this, the family also knew that they could not force Chen Lan to sell themselves.
Later, when recalling this past event, Chen Lan said:
At that time, I felt that I was escaping from death, and since then I have been afraid of nothing.
After the body is healed, Chen Lan also knew in her heart that her dream of becoming a designer was ruined. If she wants to help her mother pay off her debts faster, she has to find a quick job to make money.
So Chen Lan gave up her studies and began to enter the modeling circle.
8-year-old Chen Lan has grown up, and is about 1.7 meters tall. 's beautiful face and abrupt figure quickly made Chen Lan do well in the circle.
, Chen Lan, who became the "No. 1 Beauty Model in Taiwan", also caused a "Chen Lanfeng" in Taiwan Province.
Not only that, Chen Lan has also become the object pursued by many wealthy children.
At that time, the son of the richest man in Taiwan spent a lot of money to marry Chen Lan.
spent nearly hundreds of millions of NTD .
Soon with Chen Lan's efforts, his mother's debt was paid off, but Chen Lan fell into a circle of fame and fortune that was mixed with fish and dragons.
In 1980, 21-year-old Chen Lan was invited to attend a party.
originally thought it was the kind of banquet that rich children often held.
did not expect that Chen Lan met the man she had made her devote her life.
This man is Xiang Huaqiang,
When he saw him for the first time,
Chen Lan decided to follow him in this life.
He is the only man who makes my heart beat.
When I recalled that time, Chen Lan said this.
Chen Lan, who fell at first sight, gave him a gift worth hundreds of millions of NT$ to Xiang Huaqiang.
"The No. 1 Beauty Model in Taiwan Province" Chen Lan was present, attracting everyone's attention.
of course Xiang Huaqiang was also among them.
looked at the beautiful girl in front of me who was 11 years younger than me to show kindness to me.
Xiang Huaqiang asked back:
I have been married, do you know?
The person Chen Lan identified is not so easy to give up.
So she replied:
doesn’t matter, at worst I can go to give tea to my elder sister and make her agree with me.
Just like that, Xiang Huaqiang led Chen Lan to meet Ding Pei.
Ding Pei is the lover of Bruce Lee .
Since Bruce Lee died at Ding Pei's house in 1973,
Ding Pei has been criticized by the public and was once very sluggish.
didn't marry Xiang Huaqiang until he met him.
After marriage, Ding Pei gave birth to a daughter for Xiang Huaqiang. Since then, Ding Pei has begun to believe in Buddhism and devote himself to practicing.
The marriage between two people has long been useless.
So Chen Lan's appearance was a relief to Ding Pei.
She quickly agreed to Chen Lan's request and decided to fulfill the two of them.
Chen Lan was also very grateful:
Don’t worry, sister, after I got married, we will be a family, and you and your daughter will give us all your life in the future.
Chen Lan also did it. After
got Ding Pei, Chen Lan took Xiang Huaqiang home to meet his parents.
But what Chen Lan did not expect was that
the whole family opposed her being with Xiang Huaqiang.
, who was not good at speaking, was indifferent to her, but
, Chen Lan also made up her mind:
, this man I will marry.
is like this, Chen Lan chose to marry Xiang Huaqiang nakedly,
has no wedding dress,
has no wedding,
has no wedding,
You should know how courageous those who could make such decisions in that era must have.

After marriage, Chen Lan also quit the modeling circle, and
wholeheartedly helped her husband manage the company.
At that time, "Yongsheng Film" founded by Xiang Huaqiang and his younger brother was at a low point.
In order to help her husband's career, Chen Lan began to engage in clothing trade.
from the selection of materials, purchase of goods, and sales in the store. Chen Lan was responsible for all the money earned by
. Chen Lan also subsidized all the money earned by selling clothing to her husband for movies.
In the fourth year after marriage, the two welcomed the third member of the family. Chen Lan left a son for Xiang Huaqiang and named it Xiang Zhanping .
Xiang Huaqiang, who still had no improvement in his film career, decided to go to Hong Kong to develop, so Chen Lan also gave up the clothing business and followed her husband to Hong Kong with her young son.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Chen Lan also helped her husband start managing the company.
Xiang Huaqiang is not good at speaking, Chen Lan is responsible for socializing,
attracts investment everywhere, discusses cooperation with actors,
, and Xiang Huaqiang is responsible for setting scripts and behind-the-scenes production.
Although the two worked very hard, the box office of the movie was still not very ideal.
until a man appears.
The man is Wang Jing. The addition of Wang Jing has made Xiang Huaqiang and his wife see hope again.
Wang Jing likes to use big-name stars, so Chen Lan talks about actors after running around.
With her straightforward personality, Chen Lan has also won the recognition of many actors and is willing to cooperate with her.
In 1986, Wang Jing directed and starred in the action comedy movie " Magic Jade HTML ".
also invited Andy Lau as the starring actor. As soon as the
film was released, it harvested 11 million yuan in box office.
successfully made Xiang Huaqiang taste the sweetness this time. After
was reused by the company, Wang Jing has successively created many classic works.
, but if you want to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film and television industry,
Yongsheng still needs a phenomenal film.
In 1987, after Xiang Huaqiang pulled his younger brother and his wife to discuss it,
decided to officially rename "Yongsheng Pictures" to "Yongsheng Pictures",
and let Wang Jing make a "bet" movie within two months.
Wang Jing did not disappoint the couple. In less than two months, " Gambling God " starring Zhou Runfa and Andy Lau was released. The movie
doesn’t have much impact, everyone must know it. After
won the annual box office championship, Xiang's family has gained a firm foothold in Hong Kong, and Chen Lan is also respectfully called "Xiang Tai".

In the early days of Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan's marriage,
he promised:
I vowed to be a boss who has no scandals with any female star.
for so many years, Xiang Huaqiang has indeed done it.
But as the big boss of a film and television company, beautiful celebrities are definitely indispensable around
.
One year at the celebration banquet,
is the peak of appearance Guan Zhilin attracted the warm eyes of everyone present as soon as they attended.
Xiang Huaqiang is the boss, but he is also a man,
so his eyes began to keep spinning on Guan Zhilin.
All this scene was seen by Chen Lan, and
So she quietly came to her husband who was talking to Guan Zhilin.
said softly:
Since you two can chat like this, why don’t you just recognize a brother and sister?
Guan Zhilin nodded and smiled after hearing this. Xiang Huaqiang, who was beside him, was shocked.

can achieve what he has today. Most of the credit is his wife. How can he forget his promise to her now?
Since then, Xiang Huaqiang has never had any thoughts about other women.
Indeed, Chen Lan completed all the big and small matters inside and outside the company.
’s wife helped Xiang Huaqiang more than a little bit in her career.
In the 1990s, Jet Li can be said to be popular all over the country, and
Xiang Huaqiang has always wanted to cooperate with it.
In order to invite this popular big star, Chen Lan also took a lot of effort.
used all the relationships around her, and
naturally alarmed Jet Li. After half a year, Jet Li came to the door directly.
held Chen Lan's hand and said:
Xiang Tai, are you going to ask me to film, right? OK, because I have been investigating for more than half a year. You have credit. I believe you. There is no need to negotiate the salary. The profit is half of each person. I don’t need to pay if I lose money.
For the help my wife has helped me in her career,
Xiang Huaqiang also admitted:
I just can't live without her.
In fact, Chen Lan was also very beautiful when she was young.
has a slim figure.
did not gradually gain weight until after a brain tumor surgery. Before that surgery, Chen Lan couldn't rest assured.
bank card password, safe password, and important information about her husband's life.
4 scattered several sheets of paper and handed it over to Xiang Huaqiang.
can be seen that not only in career, but also in
life, Chen Lan also manages everything in order.
this makes Xiang Huaqiang even more inseparable from her. What should I do if she is not here? When the operation was performed, Xiang Huaqiang really thought about it this way. Fortunately, the operation went very smoothly.
Although Chen Lan's figure has become fatter and fatter since then,
, Xiang Huaqiang did not hate Chen Lan for this reason. Instead, he thought she was getting cuteer and cuteer.
With the development of career, Xiang Huaqiang and his wife have become increasingly influential in the entertainment industry.
Chen Lan did not start to put on airs because of this, but instead "benefit is the most important".
truly established a reputation in the circle with his own strength.

On the evening of May 4, 1992, the owner of the second largest gang in Hong Kong, Huang Langwei and his brothers Huang Baiming were having fun in a KTV in Kowloon Tong .
happens to Anita Mui At that time, he also had a party with his friends.
After learning the news, Huang Langwei asked Anita Mui to sing a song on the spot to help liven up.
But Anita Mui had no intention of flattering her, so she refused.
, feeling that she had lost all her face, Huang Langwei gave Anita Mui hard, and
also detained her and her friends and refused to leave.
Anita Mui, who was forced to help, could only call Chen Lan for help.
Chen Lan was talking about the matter with Xiang Huaqiang at that time. After receiving the call, he rushed over alone.
When Xiang Huaqiang took the people there, the matter had been settled by Chen Lan.
In 1991, Andy Lau, who was just 30, made a bold attempt.
founded Tianmu Film Co., Ltd.
, but in 1995, due to poor management, Andy Lau not only lost the company, but also owed 40 million foreign debts.
He visited all his friends around him, and no one was willing to take the risk to help him.
At that time, someone suggested that he try Xiang Tai.
, but because he rarely cooperated before, Andy Lau just found Chen Lan with the mentality of trying it out.
didn't expect that Chen Lan transferred tens of millions without saying a word.
This touched Andy Lau very much. He said on the spot that he wanted to write an IOU,
didn't expect that Chen Lan said:
is okay, no, I can trust your character.
's generous help to Huaqiang and his wife made Andy Lau grateful. After
, in order to repay the favor, he took on many movies produced by Huasheng Company. It was at that time that he made many bad movies.
Later, Chen Lan also mentioned this past story in an interview:
The film market in 1997 was in a downturn, and no one was willing to make a movie, and as long as it was filmed, it would basically lose money. At that time, Andy Lau was found and signed with him 8 dramas, each with a pay of 8 million yuan.
Since then, Andy Lau and Xiang Huaqiang and his wife have maintained a good relationship. Andy Lau, who was affected by
, will also lend a helping hand when his friends are in trouble.
For example, later, when Zhang Weijian faced bankruptcy due to failure in housing speculation,
he immediately wrote a huge check and said:
What you learn should teach others, and what you earn should be given to others.
There is also Jet Li,
Jet Li had a disagreement with the producer when filming "Huang Feihong".
Because the film party owed wages, the two sides had a conflict.
Shortly after the film was completed,
Jet Li's agent died unexpectedly.
Jet Li was worried and wanted to find justice.
but was afraid of being implicated. Jet Li did not dare to call the police.
Chen Lan, who saw it, decisively stood up to help him:
I will help you solve it and let them come for me. After
Chen Lan decisively called the police. Jet Li was guarded by his side 24 hours a day, and the matter of
was left to nothing.
Until now, Jet Li and Xiang Huaqiang and his wife have maintained a good relationship.
There is also a room left for Jet Li to live in at the couple's home in Kowloon Tang.
Along the way, Chen Lan's status in the entertainment industry,
can be said to be not because she is the eldest brother's woman, but to a certain extent she has lived as the eldest brother.
Conclusion:
walked through the gates of hell three times without bowing to fate.
had the advantage of being beautiful when he was young, and
lived beautifully after marriage with his ability.
Now Chen Lan has retreated behind the scenes and has become a grandmother.
has enjoyed the joy of family.
Looking back at Chen Lan's life, I have to say that she lives really beautifully.
