A few days ago, the Hong Kong Film Awards were settled. Zhou Dongyu won the Best Actress Award for "Youth" for "Youth", and the four-character brother also won the "Best New Actor" trophy for this movie.
One is a young actress born in the 1990s who has been holding the spoon of "Mou Girl" since her debut, and the other is a young actress born in the 2000s who has always been at the top even in the era of daily traffic explosion. has to make people sigh: The next wave is terrifying.
So the congratulations about the two are also overwhelming, but winning the award has always been a matter of being happy and sad. For example, Sammi Cheng, who lost again, missed the film queen for the sixth time in her life. It reminds people of the famous Hong Kong director Johnnie To who once spoke up for Sammi and directly cursed the Academy Awards:
"I have been angry for ten years if I don't give Sammi Cheng the actress to her for the film queen!"

As Hong Kong Movie gradually withered after thirty years of golden years, the popularity of the Academy Awards is now different from previous years. Hong Kong filmmakers have also returned to peace year by year, such as returning to their family, Kwan Jinpeng, and not having such a person, Er Dongsheng, becoming older and older, and Wong Kar-wai has been dragging it down again and again...
Sammi Cheng may be relatively unfamiliar to the new generation, but her record is full of weight, no matter whenever she takes it out:
The 21st edition, even if "Zhong Wuyan", "Cohabitation Confidant", "Slimming Men and Women" are nominated at the same time The old one lost to Zhang Aijia "The Earth is Long and Long";
The 20th "The Lonely Man and Widow" lost to Maggie Cheung "In the Mood for Love";
The 25th "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" lost to Zhou Xun "If Love";
The 32nd "Love at High Altitude" lost to Miriam Yeung "Five Children";
The 33rd "Blind Detective" lost to Zhang Ziyi "The Grandmaster".
is just that Sammi has always lacked such a little bit of luck.
has been with him for ten years, nominated nine times, and lost six times.
Faced with the voice of standing up for her, she just responded calmly: The winner of is well deserved, and I will continue to work hard!
In a simple sentence, it presents a low-key, simple and humble Sammi Cheng. People who don’t know her will think that she is just an aria of an outdated star.
However, I believe that in the hearts of many people, Sammi Cheng almost led the entire Hong Kong era.
Her name shines on Victoria Harbor, and her "Hong Kong girl spirit" has influenced countless artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry so far.
Stubborn and independent, The pride of Hong Kong is popular in Hong Kong: " No HK person doesn't like Sammi!" (No Hong Kong person doesn't like Sammi).
Born on August 19, 1972, Sammi Cheng is the fourth child in her family. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by her elders. She is also talented in acting.
won the third place in the rookie competition for the first time, and was less than 16 years old. When
was signed by several record companies, he was mindful of middle school. When
released her first album and her sales in Hong Kong and Taiwan were so popular, she was only 18 years old.
She works hard and makes people feel that she has no talent, but she is obviously talented.
She is an extremely strong girl. When she first debuted, she was ridiculed by the media for being obese because of her height of 165 and weight of 110. Her self-esteem was greatly damaged. In addition, she had a fat physique. After two years of entering the industry, she found that she was always fatter than the female artists around her.
She once wrote in the column: "Farewell Wong's thinness is very enviable."
also said: "At that time, Zhou Huimin and I were wearing the same clothes. I stood next to her and felt like a fat man."
She decided to lose weight madly, live with cabbage every day, eat a few radish sticks when she is hungry, eat only two apples in 7 days, and become skinny and bone-skinned.
Zhang Ailing wrote: "Be famous as soon as possible."
And Sammi Cheng debuted at the peak of many people. She was playful and cute when she was a girl. She followed Zhou Huimin, Qiu Shuzhen and Wang Xinping, who were already famous at the same time, and became a sweet idol for ladies.
However, as we all know, the "Martian" has an extraordinary competitive spirit - Sun Leo, and the rising moon signs are all in Sagittarius. The fire signs account for most of the horoscopes. She began to walk in the direction of "hard iron bones".
dyed her hair all over, sang rock fast songs, danced at concerts, hung wires, and clothes that were not astonishing as ever. She had all the madness that could be imagined. If you want to do
, you should do the most unique one.
Later, she joined Warner and began to release Mandarin albums. The double harvest of sales and awards made her officially embark on the road to becoming a queen.
She is so brilliant that her writing sometimes looks pale and powerless, and it is difficult to summarize her peak achievements in the music industry. Then let’s briefly list a data:
So far, as the Rakuten queen of Hong Kong, Sammi Cheng has posted more than 50 records,
degrees, and won the highest sales of Hong Kong female singer in the year, degrees, and became the highest sales of Taiwan in the year, Hong Kong female singer in the year, degrees, and won the top ten most popular female singers in the golden songs, World-class tour concert, breaking through 170 shows in the Dreamy Red Hall, leaving her 89 shows in LIVE
...
to achieve this superstar style, there are Xu Xiaofeng in front of and Anita Mui behind, only these two people.
If the awards that swept across the entire Chinese music scene were just a layer of gorgeous and dazzling cloak, then putting aside the achievements in the songs, the status of an actor has made her establish her status as an all-round actress in the entertainment industry full of talents.
But luck will not always be there. In the following years, Sammi's films received mediocre responses and did not cause any splash. Perhaps because Sammi was too powerful in the music industry, the movie did not affect her too much.
But what belongs to you is destined to be yours.
Hong Kong famous director Johnnie To always couldn't help but admire her when talking about her. For an actor, the director has a kindness to him, and for a director, a talented and hardworking actor will also make a movie and a perfect work.
"I have told many people that if I want me to choose the best actress in Hong Kong now and still acting, it is Sammi Cheng." - Johnnie To
No matter how many hardships are, it cannot defeat the dazzling Leo
Yes, absolute perfectionism sometimes triggers absolute extremism.
After achieving too much success and praise in her career, she often couldn't sleep at night and was picky about herself. Long-term random thoughts have made me feel abnormal. Until after filming Guan Jinpeng's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", I received responses from the audience's doubts, and I also felt that it was extremely bad and hopeless.
Under calm, the undercurrent was surging, and depression finally broke out on her and lasted for many years.
In the first three years after suffering from depression, Sammi Cheng had no job. During this dark period, she began to draw and write a column for Ming Pao Weekly. The content was a simple life insight and a time to tell her fans and fans.
In 2010, she compiled these words into a book and published "Worth".
"Life is not a soda can. The value of life comes from me and none of us has the right to throw it away at will." "Nothing really matters", which is equivalent to incomparable enlightenment. I have long been used to living in the intriguing way that others cannot understand. ”
Look at these words in her, they are calm and warm, dull but not boring, with pride and compassion. In comparison, at a time when the threshold for writing is getting lower and lower, she seems so detached and transparent, and serves as a good benchmark for many people who claim to be writers.
In April 2019, gossip news that shocked the entertainment industry was exposed:
Sammi Cheng's husband Andy Hui was photographed cheating on Hong Kong sister Wong in a taxi.
Although the entertainment industry is performing various emotional dramas every day, most of them are laughed at by us, but that is Sammi Cheng and Andy Hui, the most dreamy fairy tale in Hong Kong.
html When Sammi, 116, signed her first record company, Andy Hui was her senior brother, who looked like two souls destined to meet in Alan Deborton's writings. They began to fall in love.Many years later, Sammi Cheng held many concerts, and this song is a must-sing song in every show.
In the past, it was always sad. They had experienced breakups and reunions. She suffered betrayal, deception and injury. After this news was exposed, people thought that she would collapse again, just like before. But she just posted a news lightly:
I forgive him.
Many people were puzzled and resentful for her:
"Why are you so weak?"
"Where did Sammi, who was once arrogant, go?"
"Another person who lost himself in love."
"Love too humble!"
too many rumors, she did not reply, just lived a quiet life, continuing to exercise, bake, paint, and write columns, just like before, still running eight kilometers a day. has therefore been named "Eight Miles" Queen.
She is no longer the "Zhong Wuyan" who gave up everything for love.
"The sweat you have flowed is sweet, and all the experiences are worth it. They will all become your armor on the way to overcome difficulties."
she said.
Love yourself, is the beginning of lifelong romance
No matter what, Sammi's first half of his life was a textbook-level legendary life.
Crazy weight loss, music queen, box office queen, fight depression, and inexhaustible creativity.
and 30 years since its debut, there has never been a trace of gossip except for the long-distance love run with Andy Hui. Not a single trace of it. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the cleanest and purest person in the entertainment industry.
She was once severely depressed. During those years, she kept adjusting her mentality and facing life positively.
In 2007, with a still eye-catching style, it is hard to get a ticket to the Red Hall concert.
's first record since its comeback was released in 2009, sweeping six trophys again.
In 2016, Sammi Cheng released a new song called "Eight Kilometers".
"Stay running eight kilometers a day, and I was lost for dozens of miles. You and I also held each other and survived the joys and sorrows." At the comeback concert, she wrote herself a long letter, some of which said:
Dear mi:
During this long holiday, you evaporated a certain part of yourself to strengthen another yourself.
I heard that you like to start running at 5:00 before dawn, for up to two hours, and then perform hours of grinding exercises.
You often say that life is a competition between oneself and oneself, and it has nothing to do with others, nor has it any more to others. To defeat a cowardly self is better than to defeat other lives.
I know clearly that you are back, and more importantly, your courage is back!!!
This complete letter was recited for seven minutes, and there was no noise or restlessness in these seven minutes. At first, the girl who was rushing forward was gone. Now standing on it is the calm, elegant and resolute Sammi Cheng.
has always had such a voice echoing in our ears, "The best woman to act coquettishly" and "Girls should be used to being submissive", , but I hope that every girl will have self-affirm and free will like her, and not regard love as the only one in life. Because life is long, you have infinite courage to return to zero and move forward.
Looking back at the Hong Kong music scene over the years, Sister Mei passed away, Guan Shuyi retired, Peng Ling became a full-time wife, Lam Yilian and Faye Wong no longer sang Cantonese songs, those wonderful figures are getting farther and farther away from us, and the only successor I can think of is Sammi Cheng.
She is not only the queen of the music scene, but also a female role model filled with incredible energy. She has spanned the queen of the 1990s, 2000s and 10s.
Even in the current film and television creation environment, there may be no longer a female lead role suitable for her. I don’t even know if she will film again. However, after experiencing a long period of precipitation and passing through blizzards again and again, always won herself, and it has nothing to do with whether there is a trophy.
We admire others, or because of outstanding talent, exquisite appearance, excellent character, and profound connotation.
But may look old, and talent may be exhausted at any time. Only those works will last forever in the long river of art, and only your own gentleness and courage will not pass away with the wind.
The reason why Sammi is loved by so many people and is praised as a spiritual model by all Hong Kong people is precisely because of her unwillingness to admit defeat and being strong and kind in her bones.
Even if you are in darkness, you want to be the sun shining on everyone.
She deserves everyone's love.
