Today we will not talk about flowers, but once again talk about powerful actors. She is not an ordinary woman, and her personal experience is the history of changes in an era. It is often said that she is not an ordinary woman because she is indeed different from other women. She was never coquettish and obedient, she was just arrogant. She didn't just care about boys' money, but often paid for them.
She has achieved many firsts in the history of Chinese film. She has been in the sea, stepped on acupuncture points, and been in jail for acting roles. She used to be a multi-millionaire single rich woman, but in the blink of an eye she became a jailed woman. . You may have already guessed that she is the legendary woman Liu Xiaoqing. In 2004, Hengdian Film and Television City. Since the completion of the film and television city, thousands of film crews have been performing here every day, and celebrities and celebrities have gathered here, and of course the crowds of people are watching.
One of the film crews was a bit special. The onlookers were not pointing at the protagonist, but just pointing fingers and talking at the woman who played the role of the maid. Is there anything special about this maid? So special, she is Liu Xiaoqing, who defended the three-time Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress. But at this time, she was no longer the big-name queen who was in the movie industry. No matter how small the role, she would take it, no matter it was a maid or an old woman, it didn't matter whether she had words or no words...
Therefore, she is known as "the best beauty in Hengdian, Zhejiang". The reason why this big star, who originally only played the leading female role, was reduced to this level is very simple, two words: lack of money. Back on August 16, 2002, the Beijing Procuratorate completed the transfer of prosecution against Liu Xiaoqing and allowed her to be released on bail pending trial. The moment she walked out of Qincheng Prison, she couldn't help but feel a little confused and mostly mixed emotions.
This dispute caused her to lose tens of millions of wealth accumulated over many years, and also made her think about her own life again. She is 48 years old this year and has been famous for 30 years. Liu Xiaoqing has been deeply criticized all along, and this time in prison has also brought her legendary life to a turning point in a more passionate legend. Just like her wise saying: "It is difficult to be a human being, it is difficult to be a woman, it is even more difficult to be a famous woman, and it is extremely difficult to be a single famous woman."
Some people say that these three words Liu Xiaoqing, It has an indispensable weight in the Chinese film industry. The films of the 1980s belong to the "Liu Xiaoqing Period", with more than 20 movies and more than a dozen TV series, each of which is a well-known classic. And so far, she has achieved at least 11 firsts.
Participated in New China's first kung fu film "The Mysterious Buddha", the first comedy film "Look at This Family", the first domestic and Hong Kong co-production "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", the first to appear in Personal biography, the first female artist to announce her divorce, the first female artist to defend three Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Supporting Actress, the first female host of the Spring Festival Gala...
Since the 1990s, Liu Xiaoqing, who has long been famous in the film and television industry, has used his popularity to gradually enter the commercial service industry. It has operated more than 20 companies, involving real estate, film and television production, publicity, video, makeup and many other fields, with assets reaching hundreds of millions of yuan. Little did she know, a confidential report letter changed her fate.
On June 20, 2002, the Taxation Bureau of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau conducted an inspection and Liu Xiaoqing was punished on suspicion of tax evasion. Although it was ultimately judged that she did not deserve criminal punishment, all the group's property was confiscated, and she also had to pay more than 7 million yuan in arrears in taxes, which is about 20 million yuan a year. One month later, on July 24, Liu Xiaoqing entered the "Qincheng Prison" and began a long night of 422 days.
From then on, there were a lot of curses, sighs, and cheers related to her. Some people finally found an outlet, "You are here too!" Some people lamented, "A pretty good famous actor, if you don't film well, what are you doing!" There were a few who liked her in the past, and there are a few now. Disgusted with her. Because our favorite thing to do is to burn bridges across rivers, the ugliness of human nature remains the same after tens of millions of years of evolution. It even felt like she couldn't get back up after the fall. After all, the fall was too tragic and not something ordinary people could bear.
But they all underestimated Liu Xiaoqing. Before going to jail, she realized that she would stay there for a long time. She gave the lawyer a recommended book list and compiled all the books she needed to read, and the cell was the best place to read. Therefore, every day in prison is lived richly and fulfillingly.
She told herself not to give up, let alone lose, and no one can defeat you unless you give in.
After being released from prison, Liu Xiaoqing wrote in his third personal biography "Life is Not Afraid of Starting Over Again": "You can't jog in the small prison cell, and you can't see the time. I also count my steps. We ran 2 corners in the square area, 8,000 steps every morning, and then took a cold bath every day. Regardless of the season, we continued to study English every day and read books in the prison public library. Table tennis."
Afterwards, Jiang Wen raised money to repay her loan, and Liu Xiaoqing was released on parole. After she left, she seemed to be a different person. Of course she was in a peaceful mood, but mostly it was a kind of open-mindedness and insight into the path of life and worldly affairs. She used to be single and rich, but now she has nothing. Some friends wanted to give her a hand, but Liu Xiaoqing rejected them one by one: "Everyone still regarded me as a friend when I was down and out. I am very grateful. I am very grateful for the economic development." The difficulty is that I have the skills to make money by myself!”
This is the interface where you can play immediately regardless of the size of the character. Two years later, Jiang Wen was going to start filming "Let the Bullets Fly". As a former lover and friend, he wanted to invite her to play the role of "the county magistrate's wife". But after reading the script, Liu Xiaoqing felt that this role was not suitable for him, so he politely declined Jiang Wen and said: "Because you want to give it to me, but as an excellent director, you should first put your work first." Position, everything else is secondary. In the past, I appreciated this thing about you the most and hoped that I wouldn’t have to lose it in the future. But now, this little difficulty of mine is nothing.”
What I said. Jiang Wen was deeply moved and secretly lamented to his friends that many people said that I tried my best to help her when she was in jail. In fact, it is not that I value friendship, but that she deserves my help. Wherever you fall, you get up again. They are all well-known, but how can it be easy if it is true for themselves? Liu Xiaoqing, who then appeared in front of everyone, was always so proactive and full of energy. She looked at it this way: "Ups and downs are inevitable in life. Good times are good, but you can live a happy life even if you have bad days." Those who come are the real masters."
I have to admit that Liu Xiaoqing is this kind of master. If you persevere and dare to do something, you will not only enjoy blessings, but also endure hardships, get used to seeing the scenery, and be able to stay lonely. In 1955, Liu Xiaoqing was born into a poor family in Fuling County, Chongqing City. Because she loved plastic arts since she was a child, she was admitted to the High School Affiliated to the Sichuan Conservatory of Music at the age of nine to major in yangqin, as well as electronic keyboard and instrumental music.
But after graduating from college, he was assigned to work as an educated youth on a large farm in Xuanhan County. Every day was nothing more than digging holes, picking cotton, and planting corn. She soon got bored, and when she heard that the army was recruiting soldiers, she volunteered to go to the Daxian Military District. Because of her versatility and outstanding image, she was soon transferred to the Provincial Military District Repertory Troupe. With a pair of big eyes, rosy and round cheeks, and an infectious smile, such a person can still stand out in a crowd.
At that time, friends from the repertory troupe complained that it was a pity that you did not go to the movie shooting. Little did they know that Liu Xiaoqing took the joke seriously and began a passionate and legendary movie life. In 1973, she participated in her first movie "The Great Wall of the South China Sea". But what really made her famous was the movie "Little Flower" in which she starred together with Tang Guoqiang and Chen Chong. In this movie, everyone is moved by whether you still remember He Cuigu who knelt on the ridge to carry a stretcher in order to save her brother.
In order to play this role well, Liu Xiaoqing had to kneel on the steps of Huangshan Mountain several times a day. Sometimes she would go up the stairs while having meals and walk on her knees. As a result, her knee joints were damaged. A pristine area. Hard work paid off, and "Little Flower" became a classic work of Chinese films after its release. Liu Xiaoqing also won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress. Since then, she has joined the Beijing Film Studio.
In those days, she continued to participate in famous productions such as "Look at This Family", "The Mysterious Buddha", "Burning the Moon", "Behind the Curtain" and so on. In particular, the success of "Furong Town" directed by Xie Jin led Liu Xiaoqing to win the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress. As she became more proficient in acting, she was gradually broadening her performance horizons, and her desire became stronger and stronger. Liu Xiaoqing was no longer suitable for the golden rice bowl of private companies, and turned to commercial performances.
To put it bluntly, "commercial performance" means going out to take some personal performances. However, "loving money" was a very shameful thing in those days, so Liu Xiaoqing was called shameless by others. One year, she went to Handan, Hebei Province to perform for the first time in a commercial performance. She performed 24 times in a row, spending 150 yuan per round. After finishing, she happily counted the huge sum of 3,600 yuan all night, knowing that at that time their monthly salary was only 50 yuan.
After tasting the benefits of commercial performance, Liu Xiaoqing began to operate capital, quit his job and started a business from scratch, and devoted all his efforts to commercial services around the world. Five years later, she appeared again and became a well-known star with "Wu Zetian", and successively founded Liu Xiaoqing Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. and so on. In 1999, "Forbes" ranked China's richest people, Liu Xiaoqing ranked 45th with a fortune of about 700 million.
Compared to Liu Xiaoqing’s exciting career, people are more concerned about her legendary emotional life. She has been married four times in her life. Her first husband was Wang Li, a violinist from a musical family. At that time, Liu Xiaoqing was still in the Chengdu Military Region Repertory Troupe. She hoped to be transferred to Beijing to work, so she married Wang Li, who was from the Opera Troupe of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, as a starting point and a springboard to Beijing.
Afterwards, she accidentally became pregnant. Liu Xiaoqing firmly refused to give birth, but Wang Li actually wanted it. This marriage, which had little emotional basis to begin with, ended after three years. At that time, medical technology was relatively limited, and the doctor told her that the removal of the child would probably be harmful to pregnancy, and Liu Xiaoqing was unable to conceive a child.
As a husband, Wang Li is undoubtedly very qualified. If Liu Xiaoqing was just an ordinary woman, then they would definitely have a warm home. But at that time, she was focused on work and did not have a stable home. In 1981, Liu Xiaoqing met Chen Guojun while filming the movie "Inside the Heart", and they lived together for three years, and Chen Guojun also divorced her.
After the two people got married, they lived peacefully for only 2 years, and then came to an end with Jiang Wen's incident. Later, Chen Guojun wrote the best-selling book "The Story That Liu Xiaoqing and I Have to Tell" about his marriage and dating life with Liu Xiaoqing, shaking out all the inside stories.
Liu Xiaoqing later said: "I have never hated you, but I have blamed you. Because you wrote a book and discredited me, I was very angry." It is said that time can dilute everything, After 25 years of separation, the former feuding couple participated in a variety show together, talked about the difficult journey of love in the past, and laughed away their grudges when they met.
Her sibling relationship with Jiang Wen was a sensational explosion in the 1980s when celebrity gossip was rare. They met in "Furong Town". Jiang Wen is 10 years younger than Liu Xiaoqing, but his appearance is more vicissitudes, so the two look very compatible together. Jiang Wen also learned to be a film director under her encouragement. His first work was "Sunny Days", but after filming half of the film, the crew had no money, so Liu Xiaoqing was willing to withdraw all his savings to support his work.
After its release, "Sunshine" became the pinnacle of domestic films, winning six major awards including the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Top Ten Films. After breaking up with Jiang Wen, Liu Xiaoqing fell in love with the French writer Aden, the well-known actor Wu Weiguo, and the unknown actor A Feng. Later, Liu Xiaoqing got into a dispute. Afeng divorced her and never left her. After he was released from prison, he and her obtained a certificate, but their marriage only lasted 2 years.
Some people say that two years is already the limit for Afeng, who only has a junior high school education, to control such a mature, steady and energetic woman. Many people no longer believe in love after experiencing several unsuccessful relationships, but Liu Xiaoqing has never lost her longing for beautiful love. Wish her better and better!
