How did Maggie Cheung suddenly break into the entertainment circle from a vase and then become a goddess?

In 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong films were dominated by male dramas, in which actresses played an embellishment role. In the past, most Hong Kong actresses made their debut in beauty contests, few of them were trained, so there were many beautiful actresses, and not many of them could go far in the entertainment industry.

Among the few successful actresses, Maggie Cheung is the most dazzling one. She emerged at the age of 18, and won the runner-up and the most photogenic miss in the Miss Hong Kong beauty contest, thus entering the entertainment circle.

At that time, Maggie Cheung Zhang Yuanyuan's face was also equipped with two rabbit teeth, and she smiled shyly and sweetly. I remember the host asked her, "Why did you come to Miss Hong Kong?" She said, "Because of vanity." A group of naive people who don't understand the world.

Maggie Cheung really entered the entertainment circle at 1984. She starred in her first TV series "Painting a Rainbow", which attracted the attention of director Jing Wong. At the invitation of Jing Wong, Maggie Cheung also appeared in the comedy The Frog Prince, which is Maggie Cheung's first screen film.

In the early days, Maggie Cheung simply won by her face, and her acting skills were immature and lacked depth. At that time, Maggie Cheung himself said, "When I entered the film industry, making movies was just a game for me, and I knew nothing about it." .

Meeting Wong Kar-wai was a major turning point in her acting career. Wong Kar-wai tapped her mature side as an actress, making her performance no longer a mere formality. The play When Tears Flowed not only made her famous, but also made Andy Lau famous.

What really broke out Maggie Cheung's acting skills and was widely recognized by the public was her performance in the movie In the Mood for Love, which is the best of its kind, and no drama can match it so far.

In the play, Su Lizhen, played by Maggie Cheung, wears 26 sets of elegant cheongsam, and the swaying figure on the dark stairs shows the audience Su Lizhen's forbearing affection. She and Yun (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), two betrayed people, have nowhere to release their pain, and the untouchable souls of a pair of adult men and women flash in lonely eyes.

I was puzzled before watching the movie, but this is a simple matter between men and women. Why is it called in the mood for love? After reading it, I realized that it turned out to be "colorful and beautiful as flowers, as if spending money like running water."

What kind of play is this? Is a lifetime cup of spring wine, and this kind of emotional drama, deductive actor, her name is Maggie Cheung.

You also believe in these things! Do you really think that the entertainment circle in the past was aboveboard and there were no hidden rules?

This topic should not be about post-60s, post-70s and post-80s. Although the old actors in Maggie Cheung are much older than us, their works have been around in the 1970s and 1980s, and we have all seen them. Do you think Maggie Cheung's acting is good? I really don't feel anything. Compared with people in Brigitte Lin and Joey Wong, she is really nothing. Of course, if compared with the current traffic stars and small fresh meat white, she just threw small fresh meat nine streets. But if you say that Maggie Cheung is a goddess and her acting skills are great, I really have no feeling at all. Looking back now, in fact, there were more shady entertainment circles at that time than now.

At that time, many singers and actors were instructed by some underworld bosses, and even Jackie Chan dared not say those things of the past. However, I have to admire that their image of casting in Hong Kong is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, Maggie Cheung is full of stars.

1, Maggie Cheung, Shen Man, the only Chinese-language film that won both Cannes and Berlin, won the Golden Horse Award (four women and one match) five times, and all the five Golden Awards were the best heroines, which can be said to be the best heroines in Chinese-language films.

2. But you should know that when Shen Man was young, especially when he first entered the business, he used to be a vase, and he was called a vase for many years.

But what about the vase? People are vases with individuality once every few decades.

Maggie Cheung participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, acted in several TV series on TVB, and was discovered by Jing Wong. She played a vase in the movie The Frog Prince.

This 1984 "The Frog Prince" can be said to be a vase collection. Maggie Cheung is really not the most striking one, because there are super beauties like Cherie Chung and Rosamund Kwan.

Then, Maggie Cheung, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui starred in the movie Fate, which was fresh and lovely.

At that time, Maggie Cheung was full of rabbit teeth and baby fat, but it was beautiful. Therefore, even if it is a vase, it is also a pleasing, fresh and natural vase.

"Fate" also made Maggie Cheung a finalist for the Oscar Award for Best Newcomer, but lost to the extraordinary temperament of Gu Meihua. It's a pity that Gu Meihua didn't insist on developing in the film circle.

From 65438 to the mid-1980s, Maggie Cheung, who was in her early twenties, left TVB to concentrate on film development, but she was only regarded as a beautiful vase after all. However, even though she is a vase, she is serious. How can she know what a good movie is without acting in so many bad movies?

Jing Wong's business comedy will look for her.

All the literary films in Taiwan Province Province will look for her. I didn't expect her to cooperate with Zhang Shi.

Of course, when she makes a beautiful film, Yang Fan, a master photographer, will go to her.

Jackie Chan's action movies, of course, also regard her as a screaming vase.

3. In this way, from the middle of1980s to the late of1980s, Maggie Cheung became a first-line actress, with box office appeal, but still a "vase". However, several personal events of her own have prompted her to grow up, both in life and in her career.

The first is her relationship with Dong Shengyi. At that time, Dong Chengyi was still an actor, not a director, but it was very helpful for Maggie Cheung to improve his acting skills. Unfortunately, they broke up.

Second, she fell in love with a boy, but others made her love letter public, which made her very depressed at that time.

Therefore, Maggie Cheung learned from the painful experience and made up his mind to change. She corrected her rabbit teeth and changed her image from cute to mature.

In this film, Maggie Cheung's acting skills really changed, and it was directed by Chen You and performed by Maggie Cheung, The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks. The outside world commented that she was "reborn", but at that time she was obsessed with many personal events, which was very helpful for her to express her character.

This film is very helpful for shaping the image of Maggie Cheung acting school and washing the reputation of vases.

Around 1990, Maggie Cheung received high-quality literary films one after another, which promoted her acting skills rapidly and accelerated her to become an acting school. This may be the so-called good times.

She met Guan's Man in new york, which was as good as the others.

She met Xu Anhua's Autumn Hatred and practiced her acting skills.

She met Sanmao's screenwriter, Yim Ho's "Rolling Red Dust". He was willing to play a supporting role for Brigitte Lin, but he won awards one after another.

She met Wong Kar-wai's "The Story of Teddy Boy", started cooperation with sunglasses for more than ten years, and even signed it.

She met Clara Law's love season in a foreign land, which is her most neglected movie with bursting acting skills.

Finally, she met Ruan, an acting work at the peak of her film career. Just before and after the publication of Love Letter, her own mood changed, and she could understand Ruan's mood, so the performance was very effective.

From this time on, Maggie Cheung was a real performer, and everyone forgot that she used to be a vase.

I really hope Shen Man can come back and act.
