Film movies
She started as a female laughing craftsman
Hong Kong comedy laughter and scolding nonsense, and has always been regarded as "everything is too much, all crazy", which is quite entertaining until death. Therefore, "good comedy" is sometimes difficult to be a compliment to an actor. But Anita Mui’s achievements in film still start with comedy.
In 1982, Anita Mui became famous after winning the first Rookie Singing Competition held by TVB.
Shaw Brothers Director Zhang Jianting invited her to make a guest appearance in the romantic comedy "Seven Days of Mistakes". Because she was a good friend in private with the male protagonist Ah B, Jong-tao, so Anita Mui joined the crew with the mentality of "playing" .
Talking about the first electric shock to the big screen, Amei recalled that the director said at that time, "If you keep making movies, it may be better than singing." was because of this sentence, I don't know if it was a polite recognition, which made her firmly believe in being an actor.

However, before she could even lose, she was called on stage by her friend Yu Wen to receive her first performance award in her life.
On April 13, 1985, at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards, Anita Mui won the Best Supporting Actress Award for "Fate" for
. Since then, Anita Mui has starred in comedy films one after another, almost collaborating with a number of comedy celebrities in the circle.
In Hong Kong comedy at that time, actresses had little room to play. Their character was either a beautiful vase for the male protagonist to fantasize, or an "ugly woman" whose figure and appearance were humiliated.
However, Anita Mui did not follow the ordinary path and broke the stereotype of the same female with her image as a strong tomboy.

" Happy Don't Talk "
Anita Mui's decoration Mei Daxiang/Screenshot Self-study
"Happy Don't Talk" Mei Daxiang (played by Anita Mui) and her suitor Zeng Zaocai (played by Eric Tsang ) made three rules:
Mei's marriage contract
● First, after marriage, the man decides big things and the woman decides small things, but the Mei family has always advocated making big things smaller, and no big things are allowed to happen in the Mei family.
● Second, The woman is responsible for the outside, the man is responsible for the inside, The woman continues to make money to support the family, and the man is responsible for housework. Not only that, he must also "get out of the hall and enter the kitchen", and the man must learn demeanor and cooking.
● Third, in the past, women had to take the man's surname when they married a man, but they had to break the tradition. After getting married, Zeng Zao had to be renamed "Mei Zeng Zaocai", and after they died, they were called "Meimen Zeng Zaocai".
Mei Daxiang's speech, which adheres to the principle of "equality between men and women", made a joke with the unspoken rules of marriage from the perspective of men.
If it is really fair, why does have the same conditions that hurt men's face but ask women to accept them all?

Of course, the discussion of gender issues in the market is always about being a joke. A farce ended with Mei Daxiang compromising outside as a "good wife".
But it is always better to be seen than to be ignored. Even misunderstandings mean that there is still the possibility of discussion and change.
" Death Death "
Anita Mui plays Mrs. Song/screenshot self-study
1992's "Death Death" opened the era of Stephen Chow ruling Hong Kong comedy.
But if Mrs. Song (played by Anita Mui) who has not had strong martial arts skills has been "supporting" the weak lawyer Song Shijie (played by Stephen Chow), where can he turn bad luck into good luck every time he is in danger?
Anita Mui showed off her skills in "The Dead Official"/screenshot self-study
This film is adapted from a Cantonese feature film of the same name starring Ma Shizeng and Red Line Female in 1948. The lines and plot are basically copied from the original film, but the character setting has been changed significantly based on the new cast.
Song Shijie has changed from an old student to a young student, and Madam Song has also changed from having a virtuous wife to a single woman with her own side because of the joining of "big sister" Anita Mui.
Title Song Shijie just sued for money, but Mrs. Song would rather "get into trouble" in order to save a widow. Song Shijie was worried that she would not be willing to hand over the paper. Mrs. Song was so angry that she called her husband "not a man". Even if she was illiterate and was troubled, she took the widow to seek justice. However, she showed a bit of "male nature".
" Red Fan District "
Anita Mui's Yiling/Screenshot Self-study
not only has outstanding performance in Stephen Chow's comedy, but also made a gold medal green leaf in "Red Fan District" where kung fu superstar Jackie Chan entered the Hollywood market.
Anita Mui is not a professional star, she cannot become famous by relying on kung fu, and her look in this film is not as eye-catching as another sexy and beautiful typical "Dragon Girl" Ye Fanghua. But Yi Ling (played by Anita Mui) is a little widow who works alone in a foreign country. Although Ma Hanqiang (played by Jackie Chan) with extraordinary kung fu is by his side, he never expects to rely on others.
Open a supermarket and start a business, she did everything herself. A strong foreign man came to rob and extort her. She dared to fight against others with the three-legged kung fu she learned from Ma Hanqiang.

Physical body can be weak, but you can't lose your spirit!
"Zhong Wuyan"
Anita Mui played King Xuan of Qi, Duke Huan of Qi/Screenshot Self-study
In addition to cooperating with all the elder brothers, Anita Mui also has an indispensable classic that is "Zhong Wuyan" cooperating with Sammi Cheng and Cecilia Cheung and Cecilia Cheung . The masculine female character can no longer satisfy her "playful heart", so she simply plays a man this time.
It is not uncommon for women to dress up as men in Chinese opera, but the characters in opera are always romantic and handsome young masters. Actresses improve their status by playing male roles. To put it bluntly, it is an affirmation of the superiority of masculinity.
As for men dressing up as women, it is also because ancient dramas were performed in front of the monarch and royal family. Naturally, actresses cannot "blasphemy", so they have the "male dan" profession.
So, The cross-dressing in Chinese opera is just a shell of gender flow, strengthening the supremacy of monarchy and patriarchy.
Qi Jianjian who is always flirting with girls/screenshot self-study
Anita Mui's cross-dressing in "Zhong Wuyan" is that King Xuan of Qi is a top scumbag in "If you have something to do, Zhong Wuyan, Xia Yingchun is the best scumbag in .
Letting the actress play a foolish and incompetent monarch completely disintegrate the subtext that turning a woman into a man is an "escalation". On the contrary, King Xuan of Qi "blasphemed" this successful woman in reality.

Love, family and country, life experience
She transformed into art films
Anie Mui's art films have not been filmed many, but when counted, they all have classics and have also brought her many professional awards and recognitions.
987's "Rouge Button" is her first literary film to take the lead. The film tells the story of the life and death affair between the famous Tangxi prostitute Ruhua (played by Anita Mui) and the Twelve Young Master of the Prince of the Seafood Store (played by Leslie Cheung) for fifty years.

However, the public has always questioned whether she can play a graceful woman in the Republic of China.
If there was social media back then, it would be not an exaggeration to say that Anita Mui starred in "Rouge" under the pressure of Ma Sichun's filming " First Incense ". Even after she won the Golden Horse Award for her acting skills, Taiwanese media also named her "the ugliest Golden Horse Award in history", but Anita Mui always regarded doubts as motivation and smiled it.

The shooting process was also full of twists and turns.
Because the script adaptation could not reach a consensus, the originally scheduled director and cast declined based on the issue of schedule, and only Anita Mui was left to guard the role of Ruhua alone.
Fortunately, Kwan Jinpeng, who had just joined Jiahe, took over the hot potato. Anita Mui went to Xinyi City to shoot a movie "Happy Don't Say" for Leslie Cheung's help. made this Chinese-language movie classic.

In many years after Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui passed away, "Rouge Button" was re-screened at film festivals around the world almost every year.
Director Kwan Jinpeng has lamented many times in the post-movie talks that is the two superstars who injected a steady stream of vitality into this movie, and makes it still deeply loved by the audience today.
" Yoshiko Kawashima "
Anita Mui's acting as Yoshiko Kawashima/Screenshot Self-study
Anita Mui's "disguised as a man" is not only found in comedy films. As early as 1990, she put on military uniforms in the historical biopic "Funko Kawashima" and led the heroes.
This film is also adapted from Li Bihua's novel, directed by director Fang Lingzheng, who has directed "The Bold and Strong Women in the Tang Dynasty" and is good at filming female legends. However, the plot of lying about history and overturning the case for the "Eternal Sinner" has caused great controversy, so that Anita Mui failed to receive any nomination for this role.
But no matter what, the men's beauty she created has no future.
Yoshiko Kawashima was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Manchu Guoan Guojun/screenshot self-study
Yoshiko Kawashima was born into the Medieval royal family, carrying the burden of "reviving the Qing Dynasty", but was sent by his biological father, Prince Su, to grow up with his Japanese adoptive father, and was influenced by Japanese culture.

Forty-year-old Yoshiko Kawashima stood in the dock of the court and said that she was Japanese, not Chinese.
Middle-aged Yoshiko Kawashima/Screenshot Self-study
Family and country feelings and identity were broken in the ups and downs of this woman's life, leaving only the connection of interests. Even she herself didn't know whether it was the flowing blood or the foreign culture she had always trusted and even believed in.
In addition to her country, her female identity has aroused another layer of identity crisis.
adoptive father Kawashima Natsu does not allow her to fall in love freely. When she doesn't want to be a bargaining chip for marriage, she will seize her chastity and make her a "nothing" woman. But Fangzi resisted desperately, cutting her hair short and cutting her uterus, and resolutely not to be a tool to pass on the family line under the crushing power of the imperial power.
But in the end, her dream of "being a passionate woman" still depends on men to get ahead step by step, and then become an abandoned child after losing her value...
Yoshiko Kawashima before the execution/screenshot self-study
Her complex life experience and the complex situation of the era in which she lives made all her struggles eventually become a laughing stock.
On the execution ground, when she heard the soldier pulling the trigger behind her, her horror quickly turned into a desperate smile.
After a gunshot, the narrative poetic theme song "The Road... Always Let's Go" sounded - Every long road goes a long way, people are like dust and circles. Whether there is any voluntary or not, or not.
" When will you come again "
Anita Mui plays Wu Meiyi/Screenshot Self-study
This blur of family and country consciousness reappears in 1991's "When will you come again". The title of this film is taken from the song of the same name by Li Xianglan , and Wu Meiyi played by Anita Mui also alludes to Li Xianglan himself.
Li Xianglan's real name is Yamaguchi Shuzi . She was originally Japanese, but she was born and raised in China and speaks fluent Beijing dialect.
She was once active in the Chinese entertainment industry and was one of the "Seven Songs Queens" who is as famous as Baiguang , Yao Li and others. then returned to Japan due to changes in the current situation and changed her real name, shooting a series of movies for companies such as Toho and Songzhu.

Compared with Li Xianglan herself, Wu Meiyi in this film has a more distinct patriotic position, and the blurred belonging is reflected in her entanglement between the two men.
Mayi deeply loves the anti-Japanese underground party member Liang Sen ( Leung Ka Fai decoration), but when she became pregnant unexpectedly, Liang Sen left her behind for the revolution.
When May was most desperate, Japanese civil servant Noguchi ( Akai Hidehito decoration) gave her and her children a home.

After the victory of the anti-Japanese war, Liang Sen went to Japan to find Mei. The two met again after a long separation, and their love surged in their hearts.
One is her lover and the other is her benefactor...May finally stayed in Japan and chose to repay Noguchi's kindness.

In the early morning, her footprints were left with deep and shallow footprints, and they were soon covered by falling snowflakes.
Some choices are difficult to tell right or wrong.
"Half a Lifetime"
Anita Mui played Gu Manlu/screenshot self-study
Time came to 1997, Anita Mui has not appeared in art films for many years.
At that time, director Ann Hui was preparing for the movie adaptation of Zhang Ailing's novel "Half a Lifetime" and wanted to invite Anita Mui to play her sister Gu Manlu in the film.
Poor and hateful Gu Manlu/Screenshot Self-study
Gu Manlu selfishly harmed her sister Gu Manzhen for the rest of her life. Although it is pitiful, it is also hateful. In addition, she is just a supporting role in the film, and her pay budget is limited... Ann Hui actually doesn't have a good idea of whether she can convince Anita Mui.
She called Anita Mui’s agent, and the other party kept saying that Ah Mei was very busy. In the end, Director Xu simply ran to the crew of Anita Mui’s filming " Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2" and told her the script during the break.
Anita Mui didn't agree after hearing this. She was in poor health because she had been having a recurring fever because she had to deal with concerts and recording records. She was really unable to do anything.
Leslie Cheung was very interested in listening. After asking about the team of cooperation, he advised Amei to join. After all, she was Ge You , who had just won the Cannes Best Actor for "Living".
Anita Mui finally agreed to take the photo.
Anita Mui and Ge You have a sex/screenshot self-study
One day, Anita Mui was late and the whole group waited for her for eight hours.Xu Anhua had heard of various rumors that Amei was late, but she did not think that she was "a big shot", but was concerned about whether something happened to Amei.
In fact, since Anita Mui took the stage in Liyuan at the age of four and a half, she has lived a life of day and night in a reversal, and therefore dropped out of school at a young age. Other people's carefree adolescence, she ran seven or eight games in a nightclub karaoke bar overnight.
After debuting, I was busier in my work. When I was young, my body could handle it. However, after I was thirty, I became more and more serious insomnia and could not sleep all night. If I took sleeping pills, I would not be able to get up again the next day.
That day it was because of taking sleeping pills that it was so late.
Ann Xu understood her hard work and continued to shoot when nothing happened.
and the second year's Hong Kong Film Awards, Anita Mui won the Best Supporting Actress Award for her wonderful performance in "Half a Lifetime". She was the first to be on stage to thank Director Xu Anhua.
If Director Xu hadn't insisted on it at the beginning, she wouldn't have had the chance to star in this movie, let alone win the award again.
Ann Hui filmed Eileen Chang many times, almost every time, and only "Half-Life" is regarded as a classic because of its accurate casting.
Anita Mui's experience of making money to support her family at a young age. Her bumpy love path and weak body make the audience see Anita Mui in Gu Manlu. She hates her but is hard to sympathize with her.
" Men's Forty "
Anita Mui decoration Chen Wenjing/screenshot self-study
In 2002, Anita Xu and Anita Mui gathered again in " Men's Forty tills". This film tells the story of the Chinese teacher Lin Yaoguo (played by Zhang Xueyou), who is suffering from a midlife crisis, and is facing the temptation of female student Hu Cailan (played by Lin Jiaxin), and begins to reflect on the hidden feelings behind his shaking marriage with his wife Chen Wenjing (played by Anita Mui).
"Model wife" wants to take care of her dying old lover/screenshot self-study
Since she is forty, the story naturally revolves around the man.
Anita Mui only gave Jacky Cheung a sword in terms of roles, but her interpretation of this ordinary teacher still won her for her and Chinese Media Awards for the , and the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress.
, the art director of the crew, , Wen Nianzhong recalled his collaboration with Anita Mui, and said that he took a bunch of floral round-necked short-sleeved shirts and skirts from street stalls to Mei's mansion for her to try.
Before he went there, he was worried that these were not famous brands, and whether the queen would not be willing to wear them. As a result, Anita Mui patiently tried them on one by one to show the effect of him and Director Xu.
"Her house is duplex. After wearing it, she walked down the stairs. Sometimes her skirt floats and floats. I really think she is so beautiful." - Wen Nian
Her beauty is not the light of a superstar wrapped by famous brands and sense of distance, but the charm of a middle-aged woman washing away all her hair.
Whether it is washing clothes and drying clothes or cooking soup, she is so skillful that she seems to have done it for twenty years, but in fact, these things are very far from her life as a superstar.
Chen Wenjing told his son his life experience/screenshot self-study
Compared with the legendary women Anita Mui played before, Chen Wenjing's emotions are extremely restrained.
When it comes to the teacher-student love affair with Teacher Sheng back then, she said a few words to the point, which is the calmness of all the passionate past after the passing of time.

At the end of the film, the family of three stood in front of the bedside when Teacher Sheng was dying, chanting Su Shi’s “ Red Cliff Fu ” by , and reached the final reconciliation through a ceremony.
"Sent in the world, a grain of water in the vast ocean." Life is short, it is better to cherish the person in front of you.

Chivalrous heart
She created an alternative action movie
Anita Mui is not a hit girl, but a chivalrous girl. Her chivalrous heart has always been talked about.
1989, the prequel of the series " Heroes III Song of the Sunset " was released. The title is taken from the song "Song of the Sunset" released by Anita Mui that year.
Anita Mui has repeatedly stated in public that this song is a portrayal of her life, and this film is naturally centered around her role as the gangster female boss Zhou Yingjie.
"Heroics III"
Anita Mui played Zhou Yingjie/Screenshot Self-study
Hong Kong hero films have always taken "masculinity" as the selling point, but this movie breaks the tradition of male dominance. It is rare for women (Zhou Yingjie) not only dominate the development of the story, but also become the instructor of male (Little Ma Ge).
In the previous work, , Zhou Runfa, played by Xiao Ma Ge, who was the apprentice of this "female boss" before his hairline. , his signature sunglasses and coat were given by Zhou Yingjie, and his ability to walk in the world was also taught by Zhou Yingjie.
The box office results and influence of "Hero III" may not be impressive in the Hero III series, but has set a good start for the feminist hero movie.

In the era when "Wonder Woman" was not born in Hollywood, Hong Kong has long integrated Western science fiction and Chinese martial arts elements to create a female flying hero.
"Modern Heroes"
Of course, such a domineering character did not fall on Anita Mui out of thin air, but because she is the eldest sister in the circle.
As the senior sister of the rookie singing competition, she has been supporting her juniors. In addition to her personal disciples such as Grasshopper , even Aaron Kwok , one of the four great kings, was also guided by her. In fact, when interviewing a junior Hong Kong star, almost no one has ever received the "benefit" of Sister Mei.
Old friend Zeng Zhiwei once sighed that When she passed away, she alarmed the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry. Everyone rushed to and hospitals for the last time to meet her. There may not be any heroes like again.

In the film industry, it has experienced a long-term depression due to the epidemic, "Andy Mui" undoubtedly injects a heart-warming agent into Hong Kong people.
