In 2000, a 19-year-old girl named Zhong Xintong and an 18-year-old girl named Cai Zhuoyan came together because they both had a heart that wanted to dream of the entertainment industry.
It is said that this photo records their first meeting ↓
In the blink of an eye, 21 years have passed: the fates of the two "Queen of Heaven" level figures who once became well-known in the Hong Kong circle have different arrangements.
They accompanied each other through the most youthful and ignorant debut careers, and have developed independently since 2008:
She has successively come up with "Two Missing One" and "AS · A. SA" and other personal albums, but also filmed "Beautiful Secret Order", "Young Prostitute", "Non-Mature Girl" and other film and television works, which are still active in the frontline;
And she, after being impacted by the "Y Zhaomen Incident", once fell into a career trough, and only came back two years later, after getting back on her feet, she filmed works such as "The Secret History of Wu Zetian" and "The History of the Demise of Romanticism", and is currently a frequent guest of various variety shows.
The two girls have always been like "twin flowers", but in fact, their lives are very different, both in terms of origin and personality.
However, in the emotional world, the two sisters have also experienced great winds and waves, and eventually ended in divorce, and they all ended up on the same road.
In 2000, Zheng Zhongji, known as "Prince Ji", and Cecilia Cheung, who was 8 years younger, had a scandal, and thus broke up with his girlfriend Yang Qianwei, who was dating.
Zheng Zhongji is the son of Hong Kong circle tycoon Zheng Donghan, Zheng Donghan has served as the general manager of Hong Kong Poly Gold Records, the president of Poly Gold Asia Pacific, the president of Global Asia Pacific, and once single-handedly won Jacky Cheung and Tan Yonglin.
It was also this year that 18-year-old Cai Zhuoyan also broke into the entertainment circle under the care of her father.
Choi Cheuk-yan's father, Choi Yi-sheng, an executive officer of Hong Kong's Fengsheng Xingye Cultural and Entertainment Company, divorced his wife when she was 12 years old and has lived with her daughter ever since.
Cai Zhuoyan liked to sing and dance when she was a child, and when she was a junior in high school, she began to work part-time as a model, mainly shooting advertising magazines.
At the age of 18, under the arrangement of her father, she starred in the film "Since He Came" directed by Wu Zhenyu, and then cooperated with Yu Wenle in "Youth @Y2K".
In the film, she played a character named Asa, who happened to be called Charlene in English, which was in harmony with Asa, hence the name Asa.
Subsequently, the emperor saw this young and energetic beautiful girl, so he sent his agent Huo Wenxi to send a contract, and formed a girl group Twins with Ajiao, who changed her name to Zhong Xintong.
The two officially debuted in May 2001, and soon won attention with a song "Caritas Crush Tuition Club", and at the end of the same year, they won the New Town Newcomer King Award, which was a time of infinite scenery.
Unlike The beauty of Ah Jiao's Gu Pan Shenghui, Ah Sa is mainly cute, but in private, it is frequently rumored that she has an ambiguous relationship with the male actors of the same crew:
When filming "QiTian Great Saint Sun Wukong", he was very close to Zhang Weijian; when filming "Yilu Cane", he was exposed to have a crush on SHINE member Huang Younan...
There is no doubt that Asa, who is in her youth, is much braver than Ah Jiao in the pursuit of love.
At the same time, her career development is also very smooth: in 2003, the romantic comedy film "The Next Stop Tianhou" starring her starred in the box office, and the film of the same name that she sang solo became one of the masterpieces.
Subsequently, Asa and Zheng Yijian cooperated for the third time, and when filming the movie "Grandma Has Difficulties", there was a scene of "women chasing men", but all this did not become a reality.
It wasn't until 2004 that she finally met "True Destiny" Zheng Zhongji , the two had an unexpected affair due to their cooperation in the film "Pursuit of August 15", in which they played a couple and developed their feelings outside the play.
When the love was strong, Zheng Zhongji also tattooed Asa's name on the inside of his handwriting, but all this happened in secret, and the outside world did not know it, but the scandal between the two was very popular.
Subsequently, the media also filmed her meeting with Zheng Zhongji and the parents of both sides, suspected to the point of talking about marriage.
While everyone was waiting for the news of their official marriage, they waited for the news of the two breaking up – it was 2007.
Then, Asa ushered in the outbreak of the "nude photos gate", which caused Gillian's career to be damaged overnight, and was suspended by the company.
In desperation, Asa had to fly alone, but found that it was not bad, and the songs such as "Little Dimples" that came out were still classic; the filming of "The King of the Drama King" was also nominated for the Academy Award.
In 2009, Asa ended the ambiguity brought about by the filming of "Sword Butterfly" with Wu Zun, and was rumored to be reunited with Zheng Zhongji, and was also married and retired from the circle, focusing on her husband and children.
However, this time the public guessed wrong again, and the following year, when Zheng Zhongji filmed "Huatian Incident 2010", he and Yang Ying had a scandal;
At the same stage, Asa passionately kissed Yang Ying's ex-boyfriend Chen Weiting during the filming of "Beautiful Secret Order"...
I have to say, this is really a magical world [roll your eyes]
The final result is known to everyone: in the same year, Zheng Zhongji and Asa held a press conference to admit that they were secretly married in 2006, but they have now broken up.
After that, Asa took the initiative to admit that she was in love with Chen Weiting, who was 3 years younger, but the relationship finally fell apart in 2015, and Asa said melancholy: "Our love is not as strong as imagined." ”
In 2017, Asa still had four movies such as "The 17-Year-Old Who Will Hurt" and "Always Around You", and at the same time announced that he was in love with The Rich Third Generation Shi Hengcong.
The grandfather of the other party is Shi Jianhui, who is known as the "King of the Mahjong Hall", and the family foundation is extremely rich, conservatively estimated to be more than 10 billion.
The two are still stable together, it is said that in 2019, that is, the year when Asa was 36 years old, she had frozen 20 eggs and entered the stage of cohabitation and trial marriage with her boyfriend, but the two also had news that they had broken up.
Throughout Asa's 20-year debut career, although she has a harmless face of people and animals, in fact, she is not as "silly and sweet" as imagined, and when facing feelings, she has always taken the initiative to attack, but she will still be sad.
Now that she is about to enter her 40s, it is really unknown whether she can successfully enter marriage with her boyfriend.
Compared with Asa, Zhong Xintong's appearance is better, but his origin can be described as a world of difference.
She was born into a troubled family, and her father died when she was 1 year old, leaving herself and her mother to fend for themselves.
Zhong Xintong's childhood was spent in a constant move, resulting in her never having the opportunity to make friends, but this did not hinder her excellence: when she was in elementary school, She was a prominent figure in school.
In middle school, she joined the school's track and field team to practice hurdles, and friends gave her the English name Gillian, who would also call her "Ajiao", which has been with her ever since.
Because of her beautiful appearance, Gillian was soon discovered by scouts, and began to work as a part-time model to subsidize the family, and then was photographed by the Emperor, and she and Asa formed Twins to make a smooth debut.
In fact, before her debut, Ah Jiao met Chen Guanxi in the company who was waiting for her debut because of an advertisement.
The other party is the son of Hong Kong businessman Chen Zemin, who has lived in a divorced family since childhood and is very rebellious.
Chen Guanxi made his debut in 2000 for filming SWAT New Humanity 2 – by which time he had become Gillian's secret boyfriend.
After becoming popular, Ah Jiao also filmed the movie "Yi Lu Cane" with Ah Sa, and Yu Wenle, who worked with her, also spread a scandal, which is said to have greatly annoyed Chen Guanxi, and once had friction with Yu Wenle in the background of the award ceremony.
Although she has always stressed that she is "insecure", because of her stunning appearance, there has been no shortage of suitors, including Xie Tingfeng, Fang Zming, Fang Lishen, Mai Junlong and other male actors.
In addition to these male actors, Ah Jiao also had a secret love affair with Chen Guanxi, and successively passed on gossip with Lin Xiaoxian, who has the title of "Hong Kong Rich Second Generation F4", and Taiwan's billionaire Gu Dingming...
Despite her seemingly rich love history, Gillian has never admitted to having a romantic relationship with the above men, and every interview said that "there is no possibility of interaction".
Just when everything seemed confusing, the "nude photos scandal" broke out - causing Gillian to receive one of the heaviest blows in her life.
On February 13, 2008, the day before Valentine's Day, Ajiao Pear Flower was interviewed by reporters with rain, and a sentence of "very silly and naïve" was not understood by the public, but was ridiculed and resisted by the collective group.
However, the suffering saw the truth, and Mai Junlong, one of her many gossipy boyfriends, suddenly stood up at this time, and also presented the same ring, and also said that "you can prepare for the wedding at any time."
However, it is rumored that the Mai family cannot accept Ah Jiao's past, after all, Mak Chun-lung's father, Mai Shaotang, is an executive director and chairman of China State Construction Telecom Company, with a net worth of more than HK$1 billion.
It is precisely because of this that Mai Junlong can also mix into the Hong Kong entertainment circle so easily with relatively ordinary talents, tepid, but still thriving.
However, even though the family has always opposed, Mai Junlong seems to be very responsible, and it is said that he still defends Ah Jiao everywhere, saying that as long as she has difficulties, he will definitely help her.
Although there is still some emotional sustenance, Ah Jiao's career is completely cool - in desperation, she and Ah Sa have to take apart and fly alone.
After a period of silence, Gillian finally made a comeback in March 2009, releasing her debut musical EP "Everybody Plays", but the response was mediocre.
Subsequently, in order to wash white, Ah Jiao appeared in an interview with the "Zhiyun Rice Bureau" under the arrangement of the Emperor, when she said bluntly in an interview that she still loved Chen Guanxi the most.
It is said that after that, Mai Junlong took the initiative to take off the couple's ring and left the scene in anger.
In 2011, Cecilia Cheung and Chen Guanxi had a "laughing group photo incident" on the plane, which eventually led to the breakdown of her marriage with Nicholas Tse, and it is said that Ah Jiao was also involved at that time, and was accused of being a third party.
In those years, although Gillian moved frequently, she was not very popular, and there was no work that could be done except for "Qiandu".
Still, she quickly attracted a new man: Kwon Young-il, chairman and ceo of the entertainment division of Coridel Capital Partners, a Korean-American multinational cooperative.
However, this love that seemed very sweet at first lasted only half a year or so, and then it was announced that it had broken up.
Subsequently, she also spread rumors with designer Calvin, male singer Hu Hongjun, Shanghai fu second generation Qin Fen, etc., until 2017, she was exposed to Taiwan's "medical wang yangming" Lai Hongguo.
As soon as the romance emerged, some fans went to persuade her: the other party's love history is complicated, not a "good match".
But Gillian didn't listen at all, and then entered into marriage with the other party.
During this period, Lai Hongguo repeatedly reported intimate interaction with hot girls, and Gillian announced in May last year that she had separated from her and officially broke up in May this year.
After the breakup, Gillian was once fat and did not look good, and was jokingly called by netizens: "A good hand of cards is played poorly." ”
Today's Gillian is just 40 years old – although a good face from Heaven still exists, her heart is already scarred.
Alone, she didn't know if she was still "silly and naïve", but no one knew what the future would be.
Twins, as a model of the first generation of women's groups, once created a glory that no one could match, but now it seems that it is really a sigh: the two goddesses have also experienced various tastes in the process.
It's just that I have come to this point today, and I can't blame others. In any case, I can only wish them better and better.
