World-famous young girls read photography.

In the world of light and shadow, there are not many people who really look like girls, and You Min is one of them.

Yi Shu said to her, "We all admit that in another hundred years, there won't be You Min's eyes in one hundred people. She is so gentle and modest that when she sees her face, her voice can't help falling-who dares to dream about her? "

In Yi Shu's works, You Min is a noble woman, even her name fits her identity.

She is the kind of person who brings her into your memory whenever you think of your girlhood.

At that time, you may have done a lot of stupid things for such a gentle and kind popular star.

Or on impulse, take a bus to see the door of a photo studio and stare blankly at her photos.

Or stupidly contribute to movies and magazines. It is clearly a letter from the reader, but it is written as enthusiasm for her.

Everyone has one or two iconic stars in his childhood.

Unsociable teenagers, maybe more.

You Min is a young star, and she will never be forgotten. Her aging and loss of fragrance and jade seem to be covered by the beautiful light of youth, so that every time I think of her, I feel quite safe and want to look outside. Does she live in the small building next door to my house?

You Min was born into a drama family, and his father was a famous Cantonese opera singer Bai Yutang. At the age of nine, he made his debut in his father's Cantonese opera "Biography of Huang".

However, You Min, who was born in Hong Kong, grew up in her grandmother's house in Macau.

/kloc-When she was 0/6 years old, because her parents were in Hong Kong, she went back to her parents in the name of vacation.

At that time, Shaw Company of Hong Kong held the Southern Film Festival in Nanyang Studios. Father was busy filming, so he asked the girl who had just grown up to attend the meeting instead of himself.

Since it is a shadow party, of course, there are many talents at the venue, and the headhunters who are eager for talents are watching with their eyes wide open.

When You Min arrived here, she was found to be beautiful in appearance and elegant in manners, with a strange girlish smell on her body, so she was invited to audition. As a result, the company took a fancy to it as soon as it auditioned

At this time, Lin Dai and Li Lihua have become stars, and their personal images and styles are based on Hollywood stars. You can see it in beauty magazines and old photo studios. After the film starring them was released, posters were plastered inside and outside the cinema. But their styles are a little sexy and charming.

You Min's appearance is just different from theirs, with eyes, smile and an inexperienced girl's heart.

After signing the performance contract, You Min didn't become an instant hit.

Her debut, A Jade Girl in Love with Spring, was rejected by Shaw Company because of its poor performance after small-scale screening. It was not until 1954' s Tomorrow that I met a large audience for the first time.

Perhaps because of the word "jade girl" in the title of the debut film, the company chose the jade girl route for its image and style positioning.

Although this choice is needed by the market, it is also in line with You Min's own temperament. Her first meeting with the audience erased Lin Dai's sexy charm and lost Li Lihua's shrewdness. She is so innocent.

You Min's real name was completed, and the original stage name was decided by the company or the director. And You Min's stage name really comes from the winning lottery.

According to the fan magazine at that time, she wrote her favorite surname and first name on paper and randomly selected them to get the words "you" and "min".

Because of the company's strong support, she cooperated with the new director in many literary films, such as Residual Life and Temptation, Loved Well, Circus Spring and Autumn, and of course, Cold Night.

What really shows her girlish heart is the ghost in 1954

This is a novel based on strange stories from a strange studio, and the selected novel is Chain.

Doe Ching, who has been regarded as a director of foreign schools in those years, has a strange desire to make a costume drama. Perhaps it is due to the pressure of the times, or perhaps he really wants to leave a costume film in his portfolio. He is very serious about this film.

In Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, there are many ghosts, right and wrong are reversed, and beauty and ugliness are reversed. However, most female ghosts are kind and innocent, and some suffer at a young age and are depressed for life, refusing to be reborn.

Some of them are trapped by monsters, and they are always wandering in the deep forests of Shan Ye.

To outsiders, they are demagogues. However, each of them has a sad past.

The heroine chain in Ghost Story is an ill-fated girl.

Twenty years ago, her husband died in battle, and she didn't want to remarry, so she died.

Twenty years later, scholar Yang Wei lived in this haunted house and heard a woman singing a poem in the middle of the night.

When Yang Wei found the chain, she found that she was writing a poem, so she helped her finish it. I fell in love with her because she was a kind and beautiful girl.

However, the officials of the underworld also covet the beauty of the chain and want to monopolize her and imprison her in the underworld forever.

When friends and relatives meet, they think that Yang Wei's mood must be bewitched by female ghosts, and she is determined to expel the ghosts.

In order to save his beloved, Yang Wei first went down to the underworld, fought with officials and brought the chain back to the dead. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got back to a safe place, Yang Wei's self-righteous uncle took people to catch ghosts and set fire to the haunted house. The fire surrounded the two men.

Unable to resist, the two men had nowhere to go and embraced each other and threw themselves into the sea of fire.

The chain played by You Min is beautiful and lovely, bitter and naive, which is very suitable for the leading actor Zhao Lei.

After the film was released, it not only won praise at the Southeast Asia Film Festival, but also attracted the audience's love. Everyone who has seen it thinks that You Min is the "most beautiful female ghost" they have ever seen.

Xiao Jia Biyu's naive girl is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Shaw Company also created a riverside singer in the movie Feng Dan Street for her along the same road.

The singer is kind and fragile. When squeezed by the local ruffians and hooligans, she looked delicate and had no strength to fight back, which broke the hearts of the audience.

In After Dusk, she cooperated with Zhao Lei again, but this time, she was still an unlucky girl, while Zhao Lei became a greedy person who only wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and even betrayed her lover in order to achieve her goal.

At this time, she has become the number one jade girl recognized by the Hong Kong film industry.

It seems easy for you to go abroad.

She collaborated with South Korea and starred in Butterfly Lovers, but the director of photography was Tadashi Nishimoto, the then Japanese lottery king.

This time, the unique beauty of You Min was completely set off by the magnificent image colors. Tadashi Nishimoto thinks that butterfly lovers, which is co-produced with You Min, is the most satisfying color in his life.

At the Asian Film Festival, Tadashi Nishimoto won the Best Photography Award, and the newspaper authorities in the United States also called this film "a masterpiece that even the Hollywood giants of the period can't surpass".

1958, after the contract with Shaw Company expired, she joined International Film Co., Ltd. ..

Since then, her extramarital affairs and happy family have successfully entered the international market. At the Southeast Asia Film Festival, You Min won the honor of best actress twice.

This time, she not only became popular in her hometown, but also won the favor of Japan Dongbao Company.

International Film Co., Ltd. cooperated with Dongbao Company to produce A Night in Hong Kong, which was a very successful film. When it was shown in Tokyo Theatre, the audience lasted for three months.

You Min has thus become the most popular female star in Japan, and even has the title of "Hong Kong Pearl" in the Japanese press.

1962, You Min and two other famous movie stars, Glen and Ye Feng, co-starred in Stars, Moon and Sun. In the life of three women, everyone is an old play bone, and unexpectedly stands out as the winner of the first Golden Horse Award just held that year.

She is no longer a simple girl. The background in the film is set in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, and everyone is inevitably caught in a last resort situation.

This time, You Min plays Alan, the childhood sweetheart of the leading actor Xu. At first, their family backgrounds were very different and they were separated by others. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was in full swing, and she went to the front to nurse the wounded.

Unexpectedly, Alan and Xu, who became nurses, met again on the battlefield.

She let bygones be bygones, took care of him and cared for him.

After Xu recovered from his illness, Alan suddenly found out that he actually had another lover.

Heartache, she left Xu on her own initiative.

But the work of treating the wounded exhausted her body, and soon Allen fell ill and died.

After ten years' growth, You Min has made Allen and herself.

You Min was among the top ten stars in Asahi Shimbun.

Toshiro mifune, a famous film actor, even said that it was the most honored thing to co-star with her in The Three Gentlemen's Cheating.

She also developed from a lover to a husband and wife with a wealthy businessman. After marriage, she lived a very comfortable life, often traveling around the world and visiting her son in America.

Getting married, for her, means quitting the film industry.

1964, You Min and Gao spent their honeymoon in Europe for four months. After that, they focused on their families and never appeared in any movies again.

Ten years later, I was invited to be a judge of Miss Hong Kong. Later, at the18th Golden Horse Award, he presented the award for the best actor.

The beauty on the screen was still there when she was 30 years old.

But life goes on, and she lives as quietly as the audience named her "Jade Girl".

Maybe she is nostalgic for filming, but when she gets married, she has the responsibility to have children.

Like Lin Dai and Li Lihua at that time, her children were born in the United States. Three sons.

Judging from your appearance, I know your heart, your personality, and your whole person is as beautiful as I have seen, which is amazing.

You Min did it. During her 12 years as an actress, she was very popular, but there was never any scandal. After going international, she didn't try to please Hollywood in order to be more popular.

Yi Shu said that she is: "A woman who fits China's cultural identity for thousands of years will be forever in the eyes of fans. The most rare thing is that she is getting better and better, and more and more worthy of everyone's heart and soul. "

So is she. After marriage, she traveled with her husband and enjoyed the beauty of life. Until 1996, she died, leaving no gossip, not even a shadow.

She was a princess of that era, and she was as beautiful as people imagined.

However, stop and think. With such a reputation, such a beauty, such a moon-watching, does she not waver at all?

After Li Lihua became famous at the same time, he went to Hollywood and acted in many movies. Married and divorced, I have to take my four-or five-year-old daughter and be active in the Chinese film industry in Hong Kong several times.

I tried several times to make a foothold in Hollywood, but the film was always put on hold for some reason.

At that time, Lin Dai was as famous as You Min. He won the Asian Film Festival four times.

But when she was a child, her parents divorced, and Lin Dai followed her mother, helpless and without a job to support her. They have to make a living by selling beaded necklaces. Later, Lin Dai's beautiful photos left in a conspicuous place in the studio for publicity were discovered by scouts, and she embarked on the road of being an actress.

After becoming famous, she suddenly gave up all film contracts and applied to study at Columbia University. It is not known whether her application was passed or not, except that she is an auditor in the Department of Drama and the Department of English.

Because of her poor English, she also invited a private tutor to guide her every day.

After giving birth to the baby, she also continued to act in movies.

Her marriage is comparable to that of You Min. She married Long Yun's son Long Shengxun, but Long Shengxun has always been a * * *. In the past, she was deported from the United States because she was killed by a racing car. Lin Dai married him after all. Later, his nature did not change, and Lin Dai could only threaten fake suicide several times.

As a result, Lin Dai died of taking too many sleeping pills and inhaling poisonous gas.

My biological father was heartbroken, but in the end he blamed Lin Dai for her death, saying that she was "spiritually empty".

In contrast, You Min's existence is as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Hong Kong director Wang Tianlin said:

"I can say that I am a person who looks at You Min. Her father, Bai Yutang, played the leading role in the film Huang Feihong, and I also directed it. At that time, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old and had not finished reading. I was really surprised when I first met her when she went to see her father on the set. She is not only charming in appearance, but also kind-hearted, optimistic and fluent in English, which was very rare at that time. "

With a career, go all out to work.

When you have a family, go all out to live.

Love the former and care about the latter. What do you want, movies and family, or fame and glory? The former is true, the latter is nothing. Everyone understands this truth, but they just can't let go of the latter.

Some people say that if you marry a wealthy businessman, maybe You Min won't be allowed to continue acting at home. She made an exchange, and she promised not to go on stage again.

This is not so much a loss as a blessing.

From then on, the audience only saw the youngest one, and when they thought of her, they thought of that era.

That era may be full of wars and surging clouds, but as long as I think of You Min, I no longer remember those anxieties and anxieties, as if living in a fairy tale kingdom of youth, where everything is colorful and people's voices are kind, and she is a teenager who can never go back.

There, there is no obsession, no interest, and beauty is never fleeting.
