The first porn star in Shanghai in the Republic of China: working as a beggar in Hong Kong in her later years.

1926, Shanghai New World Magazine held the film queen election. At that time, four female stars were selected as "Four Famous Actresses", and one of them was Yang Naimei. 1956, a beggar woman appeared on the street in Hong Kong. Although she begs for a living, she still has charm and extraordinary temperament. She is a former movie star Yang Naimei.

The most popular female star on the beach, the beggar on the street in Hong Kong, the status of ice and fire can be superimposed on one person. Think of her, lingering, is the word "fatalism".

Debut into fame

Romantic propaganda, sexy signs

Yang Naimei, a girl from Class Two, Shanghai Heather Middle School, is the most important person in the school. Although his achievements are average, he is a very active literary backbone. She is good at talking, singing, dancing and acting, elegant and beautiful. She is a well-known "beauty queen" and a "celebrity" in social circles.

Yang Naimei's father is a business tycoon in Guangdong. He came to Shanghai to set up pigments, real estate and other enterprises, and he is famous in Shanghai. Father sent Yang Naimei to a strict girls' school. I expect her to concentrate on her studies and send her abroad for further study after graduation. Parents regard this only daughter as the apple of their eye and dote on her. Yang Naimei has developed a arrogant, extravagant and arbitrary temper since childhood.

After a girl graduated from middle school, there were no school rules and teachers' constraints, and Yang Naimei gradually indulged. She is sociable and pushy. She often goes to the dance floor, invites her classmates to dinner and watch foreign movies, and dresses up in a novel fashion. Because parents like to watch "civilized dramas", Yang Naimei has been exposed to them since childhood. At that time, Zhang Shichuan's civilized dramas and some short films, like traditional dramas, were all performed by men. Yang Naimei was very disdainful and thought it would be a hundred times better if she came to power.

Father is trying to arrange for her to study abroad, but Yang Naimei's mind is not at all on reading. Yang Naimei in the audience was deeply attracted by the heroine Hanlun Wang when The Orphan Save the Ancestor was released by Star Company. After the first class, she got in her car and went to the star company. She is going to perform a "volunteer".

At this time, Zheng Qiuzheng has just signed a contract with Xu Zhenya, a novelist of "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School", for the next film "Jade Pear Soul", and the sales of parallel classical Chinese novels of the same name have exceeded 65,438+10,000 copies. The heroine is available, but Zheng Qiuzheng and Zhang Shichuan of the star company can't find a suitable candidate to play the supporting actress sister-in-law Yunqian, a rich girl, who is beautiful and slightly proud. When Yang Naimei knocked on the office of the star company, judging from her appearance, listening to her introduction and her urgent desire to make a movie, Zheng Qiuzheng has recognized the role of this lady in Yunqianli. Two days later, the star company really got the news and let Yang Naimei sign the contract. She was very excited, as if the aura of a big star was within reach.

Although Yang Naimei, who has always been spoiled, was wronged by Zhang Shichuan's harshness in the filming process, the response after the release of Jade Pear Soul was enthusiastic, and Yang Naimei became famous in the film industry, especially in the communication places. She has always hoped to show those fashionable and beautiful images in her life on the screen, so that more people will be fascinated by them. However, contrary to expectations, the second role arranged by the star company is the vicious and ugly landlord and the out-and-out villain in the movie "Bitter Children and Weak Women". Yang Naimei, the boss, didn't like it, but reluctantly agreed to it in order to be a big star. When the film was released, the company made a lot of publicity, but Yang Naimei stayed at home. In a rage, she didn't even want the reward of 300 yuan.

The company should also take proper care of Yang Naimei's feelings about the star she won alone. The next script "Seduction to Marriage" is tailor-made for her. Finally, she can play the heroine, a modern girl surrounded by suitors, which is exactly what Yang Naimei likes. In order to play this hard-won role that suits her best, she rushes to the studio with a big suitcase of her own clothes every day, and her hair is often permed into different patterns. In some emotional dramas, she also learned the expressions of foreign stars and showed seductive eyes. The release of "Lured Marriage" really caused a sensation because of its bold performance, and Yang Naimei became the first female star in China film history who was famous for her debauchery. Just when she was surrounded by fans and the media, her father poured cold water on her head. Because my father would never allow my baby daughter to give up her great expectations and "degenerate into a performer", my mother has been helping me keep secrets from each other since the earliest filming of "Jade Pear Soul". However, with the release of Seduction, my father became even more angry with Yang Naimei's so-called romantic woman and ordered her not to perform again. Why did Yang Naimei give up halfway and run away from home in a rage when she saw the star dream she had just realized?

Getting rid of the shackles of family, Yang Naimei has become more and more laissez-faire. Besides making movies, she just hangs out in social places. During this period, he successively filmed "Good Brothers", "Newcomer's Family" and "The Lonely Valley". On the basis of the adaptation of Tolstoy's novel Resurrection, Conscience Resurrection has made great changes. The story is full of twists and turns, and a strange move when it was released made the film the headline news in Shanghai. It turned out that Yang Naimei not only made a splash on the screen, but also showed her story in the cinema. Under the careful design and preparation of star companies and cinemas, the audience ushered in an unprecedented viewing experience. When Yang Naimei in the movie hummed a lullaby to put the child to sleep, the screen suddenly rose and the scene in the play was completely copied to the stage. The real Yang Naimei walked onto the stage leisurely, dressed in the costumes of the play, and accompanied by the live band, singing "The Song of the Maid" in a low voice. Being able to get in touch with the stars in the cinema makes the audience excited!

Yang Naimei met Xiao Kai Jiting Wang while filming The Temptation of Marriage. After leaving home, Jiting Wang lent her two vacant rooms in a villa in the French Concession, and soon they went in and out together. She had a close relationship with Zhu Fei, the leading actor, when filming The Orchid in the Empty Valley. Zhu Fei is very charming. Because of the sudden fame of The Lonely Valley, the two often meet and go out, and this man has been entangled in her life like a colorful soap bubble since then. When there is no movie, Yang Naimei is not idle, always making gossip and never letting herself be forgotten quietly. At the same time, the scandal was accompanied by her affair, and Yang Naimei, who had already moved home, was once again expelled from the house by her angry father. This time, she was still not sad and didn't want to stay, but changed her residence and lived with Fei Zhu.

Build an independent family ―― become independent.

Secret warlords, crazy dreams come true

Yang Naimei's wildest dream has gradually come true. She lives in a villa on the second floor of Aiduoya Road, wears strange clothes, organizes parties at home, falls in love with the handsome Zhu Fei, and most importantly, is admired and paid attention by countless people. She became the first woman in China to own a car, and also the first woman to show her legs and socks in public. Her bad temper and bad habits intensified in the wind. She gambled, took drugs, was late for filming, tried to break away from the shackles of "stars" and tried to set up another door.

Another portal needs a title. 1927, she saw a piece of news on the front page of the newspaper. The hero of the news is a woman named Yu Meiyan. This woman, in order to resist arranged marriage, fled to Shanghai. One day, she stood on the balcony and looked at the bustling pedestrians on the road. Suddenly, her blood welled up in her heart, and she began to throw money out of the window, which attracted passers-by to rob her, while she bowed her head and laughed. Yang Naimei was immediately moved by this story and decided to put Yu Meiyan's story on the screen. But when she told Zhang Shichuan her thoughts, she was ruthlessly rejected. Zhang Shichuan said that the company would not make such a meaningless film.

She immediately decided to start her own business. Her first work is The Story of Yu Meiyan. The name of this film is Strange Girl. But she didn't have any savings and couldn't get help from her father. At this time, Zhang Zongchang, a warlord in Shandong, sent someone to Shanghai to tell Yang Naimei that he admired Yang Naimei for a long time, and invited Yang Naimei to get together in Shandong. In return, he funded her to make a movie.

Everyone objected to her going to the appointment, but Yang Naimei decided to go and returned to Shanghai with a huge sum of money after half a month. Now that Yang Naimei has decided to leave, she must understand that this is a naked deal. Zhang Zongchang staged a series of outrageous absurd farce in order to win the smile and intimacy of beautiful women. He held a party for Yang Naimei, and the guests present could dance with the big stars. Of course, the dance tickets are very expensive, and each person 1200 silver tickets. He gambled in the village, pretending to be a robber and always winning, robbing visitors of their money. Yang Naimei stayed for ten days and returned to Shanghai safely, and everyone was amazed.

Yang Naimei, who returned to Shanghai, rented a villa, bought equipment, set up Nami Film Company and hired Bao as a screenwriter. Shi Dongshan and Cai Chusheng jointly directed and produced Strange Girls. The studio not only had the most advanced equipment at that time, but also gambling and opium. The release of "Strange Girl" was a big box office sale, which gave her a reason to splurge. She even lost eighty thousand silver dollars overnight. Nami Film Company went bankrupt, so she had to come back. First of all, she acted in a drama. Because the monthly salary is only 300 yuan, she joined Tianyi Film Company to make movies. Unfortunately, the era of silent films began. As a Cantonese, she failed in Mandarin and slowly disappeared from the screen. 1933, she announced her retirement after she starred in "Spring Breeze Willow" in Dadong Company. Ruan and accepted the baton in her hand.

Crossing turbulence

Didn't come back and became a beggar.

Marriage is also a way out. At this time, she met Chen's father, Chen, who had followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and Chen himself was a doctor of economics. She married him.

After some ups and downs, Yang Naimei has learned to cherish happiness. She washed away all the lead, quit gambling and drug addiction, managed the housework with peace of mind and gave birth to a daughter. Her parents are very happy to see this situation. However, the happy life did not last long. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, her husband's company went bankrupt, her parents died, her property was embezzled by others, she moved to Hong Kong, and her husband lost his job. In Hong Kong, they all make a living by selling textiles. In the hard life that she thought had sunk to the bottom, her daughter married a small businessman when she grew up and went to Taiwan Province Province with him-this was an important foreshadowing of her fate.

Meanwhile, in order to make a living, she also tried to make a comeback. There was no suitable opportunity in Hong Kong, so she ran back to Shanghai to meet people in the film industry. On June 27th, 1942, the popular news ridiculed her return: "Nami's years are old, but the charm of Xu Niang is still very moving. Maybe people in Shanghai will fall at the feet of her leather shoes again. "

She returned to Hong Kong again to continue her declining life. 1956, she divorced her husband and soon became a beggar. 1957, her daughter's son-in-law came from Taiwan Province province, found her and took her to Taiwan Province province. She finally died in Taiwan Province Province on February 27th, 1960.

It is not enough to be brave and heartless, it will only completely destroy the soil where you start over. Yang Naimei later said: "I miss the past, like a spring dream, and I miss the younger generation in the same industry." I should learn from it. When I am proud, I must stay and do calculations for my old age. " This is the conclusion she reached after drawing a painful lesson, which has always been her life's notes.
