Shu Qi, when most people are used to calling you this way, there are always a few people who still remember your old name: Lin Lihui. She dropped out of school at the age of 16 and entered the modeling circle. At the age of 19, she participated in the first film and television drama. At the age of 21, she emerged as the "Best Supporting Actress" in the Golden Horse. At the age of 29, she won the Best Actress in the 42nd Golden Horse. All the way, it seems to be relying on the wind and water, but in fact, there are stumbles and constant disputes; the love history is bumpy and bumpy with the "crime" of a third-level porn star, but she quickly got married at the age of 40. Shu Qi, a wild model from a humble background who was a half-way monk, was able to hold a trophy and shed tears on the golden horse stage many years later. She is also evil and righteous, mature and innocent. How many compliments can I bear"... Today [over and over again], I stepped into Taiwan, a treasure island, and followed the monsoon of the Pacific Ocean to experience Shu Qi, the "girl" who used to be called Lin Lihui.
When it comes to famous female movie stars, people always love to spy on the stories behind their fame, so they can't escape the topic of "family of origin". In the previous tweets, we saw that there is always an unpredictable "destiny" behind these glamorous female stars: Tang Wei was born in a scholarly family in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and his father is a well-known painter Tang Yuming; Zhou Xun was a child in the theater When I grew up, my father was a well-known local film artist; although Zhang Ziyi lives in the Tongzilou in Beijing Zayuan, she is also a dancer and graduated from the Central Academy of Drama... Only this time Shu Qi, It seems to have the characteristics of Meters Bonwe, walking a "star path" completely different from their temperament.
I don’t know if it’s to rectify the “wrong way” of the Dao, but all the stories about Shu Qi’s family and growth on the Internet have a high degree of overlap and consistency: the father’s ordinary staff, the mother’s housewife, and the rebellious girl meet the unbearable “stick education”, Then staged a 16-year-old escape and rebellion. At that time, Shu Qi skipped class, fought, wore heavy makeup, and lived with her boyfriend. She was like an unknown Taiwanese girl who met in a Taiwan night market. She was full of arrogant fireworks, warm but pure to the extreme. It is this kind of simplicity that makes her fall into a war of words of complete despair over human nature in the future.
In 2012, because of the "Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo" incident, Shu Qi's Weibo became a target for unscrupulous netizens. The old photos taken in the teenage years were also dug up, and Shu Qi emptied Weibo in an instant. , Unfollow, and fall into a whirlpool of unprovoked public opinion. The old photos posted by the unscrupulous netizens are the nude photos and screenshots of the third-grade film before Shu Qi became famous. In the photos, she wears a little powder, but she is sexy and full. Although she is naked, it is not pornographic.
How can a girl under 20 be willing to go to a restricted level photo? After a lapse of many years, Shu Qi responded like this: half of the photo shoot is for money, and the other half is for vanity. A rebellious girl born in a poor family wants to counterattack, of course, choose the most direct and fastest way to make money, and "selling out" her youthful body is the only option that can meet the above requirements.
In fact, it is not a shameful thing to take a body photo in Taiwan. Apart from Shu Qi, Xu Ruoxuan, Yi Nengjing and Qiu Shuzhen have all had the same experience. It is particularly worth mentioning that Xu Ruoxuan went to Japan to shoot the "Angel Heart" series, which really turned a 20-year-old girl into a delicate angel, with a low eyebrow and a smile like a flower with wings. Small angel, pitiful and lovely.
Regarding Shu Qi's "willful" choice when she was young, I have seen someone analyze it before: her purpose is actually very simple, that is, she wants to make money through shortcuts. People with this idea are often short-sighted and only focus on immediate interests. Later, Shu Qi gave up the role of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Jade Dragon" because he couldn't bear to give up the endorsement of oolong tea advertisements and could not close the training. Instead, he was picked up by Zhang Ziyi, who listened to the teacher's words wholeheartedly, "No matter how much money you give, don't take TV series, only take movies." With the blessing of this role on the international stage (there are as many as 18 nominations for the role of "Jade Dragon" in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), Shu Qi is still wandering between Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland. The yin and yang errors in it are estimated to have made Shu Qi's bowels regret.
It is said that Ang Lee was looking for a "strong hearted and beautiful girl" "Yu Jiaolong". It was originally between Shu Qi and another unknown actress, Wang Ling. Zhang Ziyi was recommended by Zhang Yimou. Included in the alternative, Shu Qi later abstained, and Zhang Ziyi became the current one. However, looking at these two faces carefully, Zhang Ziyi's brows and eyes are tight, Shu Qi is lazy, one is up and full of momentum, and the other is down and full of laziness.
Although she missed "Yu Jiao Long", Shu Qi was lucky to meet Er Dongsheng.
In Taiwan in 1995, the film market was mixed, erotic aesthetics and political meaning coexisted. Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Good Boys and Good Girls" was still about history and politics. The erotic film "Devil Angel" starring Xu Ruoxuan was being shown, and "Little Fishing Girl" in Rene Liu's face was still green, but Shu Qi "escaped" to Hong Kong under the recommendation of her agent Wen Jun. As for why she used "escape", at the press conference of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", she boldly revealed that she was To avoid the pursuit of the boys at that time, we don't know whether he is the "Taiwan boss" Ke Junxiong.
Shu Qi, who escaped from Taiwan and came to Hong Kong, originally signed it to Wen Jun. When Wen Jun took her to Wang Jing to shoot an erotic film, Wang Jing only saw the photos, but never saw the real appearance, so he signed 6 films in confusion. porn. But after just two films were made, Wang Jing was reluctant. He felt that Shu Qi was of high quality and had an unusual temperament, so he gave up the previous six contracts and recommended her to Er Dongsheng, who was planning to film "Erotic Men and Women". . Speaking of Wang Jing and Shu Qi, there is also an episode that must be mentioned: It is said that there is a film critic Shu Qi in Hong Kong who specializes in criticizing Wang Jing's erotic movies, and the origin of the word "Shu Qi" is that Wang Jing used to deal with this Film critic's "last move": If you think erotic movies are inferior, I will make your name linked to erotic movies every day...
As for the story and the truth, we are inconvenient to verify and judge, but a sentence I read in Nandu is still vivid in my memory. After interviewing Shu Qi, the reporter wrote: "It seems that being a woman is inherently sinful. From the body to the right to use the name, sometimes I can't help myself." Thinking of Lin Lihui, who was weak and powerless to resist back then, sadness comes from the heart.
Fortunately, Shu Qi met Er Dongsheng. The 1996 "Erotic Men and Women" is a true portrait of Er Dongsheng himself. The struggle between the literary film and the erotic film is so real, and Shu Qi's naked body and long gauze in the film is so sexy and elegant. , So advanced, no matter when and where, such a picture will always haunt the hearts of every teenager who is sensitive and loves fantasy.
In this Hong Kong movie starring Leslie Cheung, Karen Mok, and Xu Jinjiang, Shu Qi talks in Cantonese throughout the film, but there is a Mandarin confession when talking to her brother, which sounds pitiful and lovely:
When I was in Taiwan, my family was very poor and my parents often quarreled. Just because my family was poor, I had no money, I couldn't do it myself, and because I didn't study a lot, so I came to Hong Kong. I wanted to film, and I wanted to make money. I want to make a lot of money, go back and let my parents have a better life, am I greedy for money?
Regardless of whether he is greedy for money or not, the play "Erotic Men and Women" brings more than just monetary benefits to Shu Qi. With this unpopular erotic film alone, Shu Qi, as a newcomer, won the Best Supporting Actress at the 16th Academy Awards. Best Newcomer Award, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 33rd Golden Horse Awards. You must know that the heroine of the Academy Awards was Shu Qi's idol Maggie Cheung, which is also the screen route that Shu Qi will try her best to take in the future. Later, when talking about this movie, Shu Qi said that the happiest day in the entertainment industry was when he was filming "Erotic Men and Women" with Leslie Cheung. It can be seen that for Shu Qi, this third-level erotic film is not only about stepping into the film circle. The admission ticket is the "best time" in his life.
Another point worth mentioning in this movie is the replacement of the male lead. At first, Er Dongsheng asked Jacky Cheung to play the unhappy director, but Jacky Cheung was in charge of the music of the Four Heavenly Kings at that time, and he was worried that the passionate play would affect his development image, so he refused; Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi agreed to participate, and even the protagonist's name was changed to "Axing", but Zhou Xingchi, who was always in control of the initiative, tried to change the script, and broke up in one shot; in a private chat with Leslie Cheung, Er Dongsheng Talking about this movie, it happened that my brother was interested and immediately started shooting. Because of the rush, everyone can see that even the name "Axing" didn't have time to change...
After taking the golden statue, Shu Qi seems to be on the hook. In 1997, she participated in 6 movies, and was nominated for a golden horse and a golden statue for her "Flying Love Novel". In the same year, with the "Scar Girl" in "Young and Dangerous Love Chapter: Hongxing Thirteen Sisters", she won two awards for the best supporting actress in the Golden Horse and the best supporting actress in the Golden Statue. In 1999, "Glass Bottle", 2000 "Sometimes Dance" in 2001, "Millennium Bowman" in 2001... Shu Qi, who was integrated into the literary aura, became more and more stretched until she won her first best actress in 2005.
After receiving the trophy from Leung Ka Fai, she choked up several times. In the thank you speech, she mentioned her parents and said, "Thank you for your silent encouragement behind the scenes. I finally got it!" It can be seen that although Shu Qi, who moved to the Hong Kong film market, opened his bow, It has been recognized by the market and the industry, but it still bears a lot of pressure and cynicism. Even with the support of three best female supporting roles, it is far less secure than this one.
"I finally got it, thanks!"
"Erotic Men and Women" was written by Er Dongsheng, "Beauty's Grass" was a low-key work by Lu Le, "The Best Time" and "Assassin Nie Yinniang" were carefully polished by Hou Hsiao-hsien. Yes, but fortunately she met middle-aged Bole who could understand her: Er Dongsheng, Lu Le, Zhou Xingchi, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tsui Hark, Zhang Wanting, and Zhang Wanting and Jiang Wen, whom she met from Hong Kong's northward journey, were barely one or two (although Zhang Wanting, as a female student) Hong Kong people, but "Beijing Music and Road" filmed in Beijing can be regarded as a work from the north. In the movie, Shu Qi's Taiwanese Beijing Erhuayin will always make people play and laugh).
Although Shu Qi is the love of middle-aged man Bole, the love history is clean and neat. From the initial scandal with Feng Delun due to "Love of a Beautiful Boy", to the 7-year underground romance between "Glass Bottle" and Liming, and then to "The Best Time" and Zhang Zhen's "Quiet Years" in "The Best Time", Shu Qi's every All the relationships are related to work, and each one is so relieved and understated. I guess Shu Qi has low self-esteem in the face of emotion, just like Eileen Chang's "low to the dust", people with low self-esteem are often cautious in the face of happiness, because Xifu can't decide to invest, and always stay out of it, so it is only when the end is over. Not sloppy.
I remember Shu Qi holding her face and naively saying to her brother in "Erotic Men and Women", I will get married before the age of 30, have a child, and live a life where I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and rely on my husband to support me. At that time, how could she have thought that she could make such a loud noise in the film circle, and how could she predict that she would reunite with her rumored boyfriend 18 years ago at the age of 40. The jerky and tender model at the beginning has now become a symbol of the film circle. She has won a movie queen, been a judge at Cannes, and finally gained an amazing love... Life is sometimes so impermanent, you are both fame and fortune in the end. You may fail, but you are full of happiness without asking for anything. In this way, Shu Qi is lucky.
Beijing in July was in the middle of summer, and the continuous overtime made this long-conceived "The Biography of Shu Qi" a few days late. Fortunately, there was a rustling shower outside the window. Since February, Biography of Zhang Ziyi, Biography of Zhou Xun, Biography of Hao Lei, and Biography of Tang Wei have been released in succession. Each writing process is like re-acquainting with them, and I also seem to understand a little more about life in this bit: The road ahead is uncertain, cherish the present, cherish the blessing~
