One of the top ten "beauties and agarwoods" in old Shanghai

1. Wang Renmei

In the glitz and extravagance of old Shanghai, a vague image gradually became clear. She was Wang Renmei, a famous movie star in the name of "wild cat" at that time. The film "Yu Guang Qu" starring her is a classic of China movies in the past century. The song "The Girl Under the Iron Shoe" that she performed has been sung for more than 7 years. Her marriage and love with Jin Yan, the film emperor who was a smash hit in old Shanghai, is still confusing. In her later years, when she summed up her life, she regarded fame as a lifetime misfortune. Wang Renmei, the legendary life of an intellectual beauty.

In the movie "Fishing Light Song", the scene of Wang Renmei, the "kitten", casting a net to catch fish on the sparkling sea has become a classic shot of China's film in the past century. The bright fragrant cloud, accompanied by the theme song she sang in the film, has been fragrant for more than 7 years. The appearance of "Yu Guang Qu" caused great repercussions in the China film industry at that time, and "Yu Guang Qu" showed the miserable life of the working people at the bottom of China for the first time on the screen at that time. Beauty Wang Renmei, the agarwood she left behind is closest to the people and our mood.

The beauty that belonged to the last century can't continue to the present. After many years, the world has no reincarnation, but you can still see a little familiar shadow and smell some familiar smells in the distance. Wang Renmei, which belongs to the old Shanghai, is just a flower, although it is brilliant in full bloom and desolate in decline. But in any case, every step, with the wind, dancing with the wind.

2. Gong Qiuxia

In Shanghai's beauty agarwood, Gong Qiuxia surprised the Shanghai beach with her plum blossom. She joined the "Plum Blossom Song and Dance Troupe" at the age of fourteen, and she and Zhang Xianlin were hailed as "Five Tiger Generals of Plum Blossoms" because of their moving voices and beautiful dances. The media in old Shanghai once praised her like this: Gong Qiuxia's songs are most suitable for listening in the morning, because her songs are full of youthful vigor, cadence, sweetness and tactfulness. This wonderful metaphor makes fans feel the same way now.

The episode "Autumn Waters" in the film "The Story of the Ancient Pagoda" starring Gong Qiuxia in 1937 is an immortal old song. In the film, Feng Zhen, played by Gong Qiuxia, looks at her daughter Xiaozhen every night before going to bed with mixed feelings, and sings that sad and sad song "Autumn Waters" with her sonorous and mournful voice, which makes people feel emotional. "Looking through the autumn water, I can't see the beautiful image of the Iraqis, but I can't see them, and I can hear two or three lonely geese ..." This song is memorable!

3, Pan Yuliang

Pan Yuliang, can be said to be the most legendary beauty women in old Shanghai. Her confusing life experience and strange fate have made her name freeze into a bright color on the old Shanghai picture drawn by her own hands.

If Huang Yingying's feminine fragrance flows from singing, then Pan Yuliang's feminine fragrance wafts from oil paints. From * * * to concubines to painters, her extraordinary life experience is like an oil painting full of riddles, which seems to be fascinating and memorable with the fascination of Mona Lisa. And the fragrance emitted from the oil paints actually made a city and an era indulge in it and refused to wake up for a long time.

The TV series "Painting the Soul" broadcast in the first theater captured the most beautiful and moving ten years in Pan Yuliang's life. The legendary talented woman Pan Yuliang was so close to us again through light and shadow after several decades, which may be the most desirable touch of exotic fragrance when we watch the Shanghai customs.

The TV series "Painting the Soul" tells the legendary life of Pan Yuliang: Pan Yuliang, who was born in a brothel, embarked on the road of art with the help of two men at the age of 18, and reached the pinnacle in Paris, the capital of art, and became a famous painter in China and the West. This is definitely an anomaly, more accurately, a legend. At the same time, she struggled in the emotional whirlpool of these two men and another woman all her life, but she didn't want to rely on it but it was hard to give it up. Finally, she died alone.

This is Pan Yuliang, a famous female painter who traveled to France in the last century. She started from Shili Yangchang to Paris, the capital of art, and brought us an ageless agarwood mixed with old Shanghai and exotic customs.

4. Zhou Xuan

Speaking of the beauty agarwood in old Shanghai, Zhou Xuan is a real fragrant jade for a long time, just as there is a "Xuan" in her name, and her life is gorgeous and heavy.

Zhou Xuan was unfortunate as a child and was put out for adoption several times. When he was seven or eight years old, he was sent to a song and dance class, which involved literature and art. In 1934, Shanghai Evening News held a "Broadcast Singer Competition", and Zhou Xuan came in second. The radio station praised her voice as "like a golden flute" and won the title of "Golden Voice", from then on, she sang on the beach. In 1937, Zhou Xuan sang "When will you come again", which became a popular song for a while; In 1941, Zhou Xuan also sang "Four Seasons Songs" and "singing girl" in the film "street angel". These two songs have been passed down to this day and become immortal classics.

Zhou Xuan

Zhou Xuan, the "golden voice", is not only outstanding in singing, but also shows her grace in light and shadow, among which street angel is Zhou Xuan's representative work. It is said that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan met in Shanghai and asked Zhou Xuan what films he had made in recent years. Zhou Xuan said sadly, "Don't mention it, none of them are my favorite plays. There is only one street angel in my life ..."

Zhou Xuan's emotional life was bumpy, and her three marriages ended in failure, just as she sang in her song: Heaven and earth are grey, and there is a vast sea of people. Where are the bosom friends? It's hard to think ... Not crazy, not alive, but Zhou Xuan, who had unlimited scenery in the entertainment industry, was diagnosed with mental illness. In 1957, she was sent to the hospital with sudden encephalitis, and she died. But her voice is still growing today.

5. Hu Die

In an era when petty bourgeoisie is so popular, old Shanghai is undoubtedly the dream home of many people. The glitz, romance and romance on the Shili foreign exchange were compressed into yellow films, which kept the glitz and glory of the past flashing to this day. Hu Die was the most gorgeous image in those films.

Although in today's Shanghai Fuqing, the girl who changed her name to "Hu Die" when she grew up has gradually become unfamiliar, we can find the agarwood in the stormy old Shanghai more than 7 years ago by following the profound flavor. At that time, her name was the pride of the city and the taste of the city. Butterfly, a legendary actress in old Shanghai, has starred in more than 1 films, successfully playing all kinds of female images of different classes in China, and has become a synchro and witness in the pioneering and growing period of China films.

After Hu Die's coronation, she was not only sought after by fans, but also favored by advertisers. Naturally, she made the most advertisements, and there were many products named after her. Even Lux Soap, which likes to use international superstars for publicity, invited Hu Die to advertise. At that time, Hu Die's image was in line with the beauty standard of China folk tradition. Her face is like a silver plate, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white, and her skin is like jelly. A pair of dimples on her cheeks are her signature. This movie star, who is famous as "Beauty of Pear Vortex", is the "dream lover" of China men in that era.

Hu Die

In 1975, Hu Die went to Canada to live under the pseudonym of Pan Baojuan. On April 23rd, 1989, Hu Die, a dancer for nearly a hundred years, died of illness in Vancouver. Her last words were: "Hu Die is flying away!" Hu Die finally died as a butterfly, but her beautiful figure remained in the world, leaving behind with it the past that was constantly being cut and disorderly. Hu Die flew away like this, continued to dance in another world, and finally turned into the soul of a flower, leaving only the lingering fragrance, still stubbornly drilling into the depths of our souls.

6. Zhang Ailing

In the old Shanghai, Zhang Ailing was always the first incense. When we opened the flowery photo album in old Shanghai, the first sight was always left to Zhang Ailing. Yellowing paper, fuzzy black and white printing, a generation of strange girl is wearing a gorgeous cheongsam, disdainful lifted her head ... I believe that all people will be infatuated with this woman's legend, nobility and pride at that moment.

Zhang Ailing, a beginner, is mostly at that incomprehensible age, and she can't see anything. It's just that hazy old Shanghai petty bourgeoisie, like that cup of coffee, spreads and fills the whole mood; Re-reading Zhang Ailing, I was deeply moved by that famous saying: Be famous before it's too late ... It turned out that after her cold eyes of insight into the world, I also felt this emotion! After reading Zhang Ailing for the third time, the mood comes from her emotional world. Behind Zhang Ailing, who seems to be strong and arrogant, a good love path is bumpy, and no amount of arrogance can only turn into helplessness. Therefore, the incense carefully lit by Zhang Ailing will always wet your eyes and mine after several years in the dead of night, and the moment of beauty and agarwood is so deep.

Zhang Ailing

"Life is a gorgeous robe, covered with lice". How busy and lively the world is, Zhang Ailing casually reveals it, but let us see the sad desert of life behind the prosperous curtain. In the general feeling, desolation should be the kind of gray, some trance, some blurred, but her desolation is not the case, colorful, warm and comfortable, but it is the indelible fragrance.

7. Ruan Lingyu

Looking across the bank, the glitz of old Shanghai belonging to the other side of the bank is fascinating, but behind it is a kind of pain that is unknown. That kind of sad feeling, we sent it to Ruan Lingyu across the sea of time, an old Shanghai tragedy queen's dream life.

The film "Ruan Lingyu" shows us the old Shanghai, which is far away from home, and Ruan Lingyu's legendary life. Maggie Cheung's graceful and decadent splendor truly put the fragrant soul of 7 years ago into our hands. After years of precipitation, Maggie Cheung opened the furnace of agarwood belonging to Ruan Lingyu.

Ruan Lingyu was really born for silent films. Although she didn't say a word on the screen, the queen of the silent film era only used her body and eyes to convey the suffocating amorous feelings for us. In 1926, forced to make a living, Ruan Lingyu became the heroine of the film "Nominal Couple" and became famous in one fell swoop. In 1929, Ruan Lingyu starred in the film "A Dream of Spring in the Old Capital", playing * * * Yan Yan successfully, which established her position in the film industry. The golden age of Ruan Lingyu's performing arts was in the mid-193s. She starred in three modern women, gadgets, night in the city, Goddess, New Women and other influential films ... Ruan Lingyu's acting skills are rich, pure, intense, delicate and skilled, simple and natural, and there is no trace of carving, so China ". However, the delicate and sensitive beauty was unlucky after all. The actress, who stood at the peak of China's actress performance, had a bumpy emotional road, so she ended her wonderful and helpless life by herself after leaving a feeling of "awesome words".

8. Shang Guanyunzhu

Shang Guanyunzhu, who was born in Jiangsu, didn't start her real life until she was 19 years old. In this year, she moved to Shanghai several times, and in the crowded alley house at No.18, Lane 236, Qingfuli, Pushi Road (now Changle Road), Shang Guanyunzhu began her beautiful life on the beach.

Shang Guanyunzhu

Shang Guanyunzhu's feminine fragrance has a special interest. She has pretty eyebrows and a delicate mouth that conforms to Jiangnan people's aesthetics. A typical Shanghai beauty is smart and sophisticated, and there is a little bit of coquettish elegance and Jiangnan jasper duty in it. Therefore, she is often chosen by the director to play Shanghai's social butterfly, the housewife of a merchant's family and the wife of an upstart puffed up. Under the thin thrush, her eyes.

However, Shang Guanyunzhu's self-love did not let her escape the teasing of history. During the Great Turbulence, Shang Guanyunzhu was brutally persecuted and died on November 22, 1968.
