Spoiled "geeks"
When it comes to Tsui Hark, many people will think of those "non-mainstream" and "grotesque" film styles. From "East Becomes West" to "A Chinese Ghost Story", from "Seven Swords" to "Wushuang", each work is full of his unique artistic temperament and creative concept.
Tsui Hark is like a spoiled "geek" who does whatever he wants on the stage of Hong Kong cinema. As a director, he has not only won the enthusiastic pursuit of countless film critics and fans, but also a group of loyal fans who cheer for him. And standing next to Tsui Hark is his wife Shi Nansheng. This woman with a prominent background and talent is undoubtedly the biggest promoter and behind-the-scenes hero of Tsui Hark's career success.
The acquaintance of Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng is really a bit cheesy. In 1978, Shi Nansheng, who had just returned to Hong Kong from the United States, met Tsui Hark, who was still a small theater actor, by chance through Zhang Beiwei. Born as a gentleman, she was fascinated by this guy from a humble background and a tacky appearance.
For Shi Nansheng, Tsui Hark is like a gem that "comes out of the mud without staining", and she infatuately wants to "fish" him out of the sea and give him care and cultivation. As a result, when she came back from the United States thousands of miles away, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to Tsui Hark's film career, as if she had become his "virtuous helper".
Love hides a mystery
Tsui Hark, like all talented artists, is both kind and simple, but also arrogant and indulgent. Under Shi Nansheng's careful care, he gradually became popular and famous. However, Tsui Hark didn't know Shi Nansheng's mind at all. He rests on his laurels and is instinctively defensive about the care of others.
Sometimes, Tsui Hark will be obedient to Shi Nansheng. Sometimes, he is jealous of Shi Nansheng's identity as a nobleman with a different surname, for fear of being looked down upon by her. In this way, the relationship between the two people is as absurd and weird as a scene in Tsui Hark's movie: there is a lot of affection, and the dark tide is turbulent.
In the matter of marriage, Tsui Hark was even more suspicious and procrastinating. In 1986, the scandal between Tsui Hark and Ye Qianwen was photographed by the paparazzi, which hit the enthusiastic Shi Nansheng hard. In the next ten years, Shi Nansheng has been waiting hard, but Tsui Hark has played tricks again and again. Even on Valentine's Day in 1996, Tsui Hark once again ruthlessly released Shi Nansheng's pigeons.
Shi Nansheng, who was furious, finally relented and proposed to break up. This time, Tsui Hark finally panicked, and he personally flew to the United States to kneel down to Shi Nansheng to admit his mistake, and the two reluctantly regained their relationship and completed a farce wedding. However, this marriage is destined to be imminent.
After getting married, Shi Nansheng was full of expectations and wanted to give Tsui Hark a lovely child. Tsui Hark, however, has no interest in having children. Shi Nansheng was secretly sad, could it be that even this trivial matter, Tsui Hark had to do it against her?
Seeing the children of his age being born one after another, Shi Nansheng's dream slowly faded away. Her love, after all, turned into a wisp of gossamer with nowhere to live.
After 2007, the relationship between the two went all the way down and down, just like the quality of Tsui Hark's movies. The advent of the Weibo era ruthlessly unveiled Tsui Hark's Pandora's box. In 2008, Tsui Hark was photographed by the paparazzi in intimate photos with a young female assistant. In 2012, he had another scandal with another junior. The following year, Shi Nansheng, who had already been completely disappointed in Tsui Hark, had a showdown with him and decided to divorce.
The legendary woman who single-handedly made Tsui Hark popular in the past is now so indebted and humiliated. O fate, how can you make such a mockery of this poor lover? Later, Shi Nansheng's career gradually improved, and he made great progress all the way. However, Tsui Hark is becoming more and more looked down upon and questioned by people, and the aura of that "geek" has slowly disappeared. Fate, it's really unpleasant!
All that is left is regret
Today's Shi Nansheng is 70 years old and enjoys a leisurely life in his old age. Occasionally, in some public appearances, she would be asked about her past with Tsui Hark. In the face of these gossip questions, Shi Nansheng usually smiled calmly.
Yes, everything back then is now only infinite regret. I regret the infatuated self I once had, I regret a marriage that was destined to end without a problem, and I regret a true love that was disappointed. Still, she said, it's all in the past. Now she is still very happy and happy. I also wish Tsui Hark, hoping that he can rediscover the direction of his creation and the meaning of life.
Love, love, it's like Tsui Hark's grotesque movie. It's just that the ending often backfires, which makes people sigh. In those years, the firewood, rice, oil and salt, the bits and pieces of those years, in the end, only endless sighs and reluctance remained. Life, life, is such a reincarnation, and no one can resist its ruthless mercy.
Those dreams that can never be realized are destined to turn into a gossamer with nowhere to place, forever floating in a corner of life, becoming a heavy and empty memory.
Ironically, just when Shi Nansheng was about to let go of the past completely, Tsui Hark created a new "old wound" for her. Tsui Hark showed affection on social media and announced his relationship with Xiao San Lele. What's even more ironic is that this girlfriend, who is 30 years younger than Tsui Hark, is suspected of being pregnant with Tsui Hark's flesh and blood.
For a while, all kinds of speculation and criticism poured in. Some say that Tsui Hark went completely crazy in his later years; Some people say that Lele is just a utilitarian junior, the property of Tsui Hark; Some people also ridiculed Tsui Hark, saying that he was repeating the mistakes of 30 years ago.
In the face of these public opinions, Shi Nansheng unexpectedly behaved calmly. She has publicly stated that she is not interested in Tsui Hark's private life and has no right to intervene. As for whether Tsui Hark wants to re-establish a "household registration book" after the divorce, then let it be his.
"Anyway, I'm living a very nourishing life now, drinking afternoon tea with Lin Qingxia and them every day, playing golf, and living a good life." Shi Nansheng said, "I don't want to think much about Tsui Hark's affairs, bless him." "
In the end, they didn't hold hands
Counting the grievances and hatreds of more than 30 years, Shi Nansheng still has a complex emotion for Tsui Hark. As the most important woman in each other's lives, the relationship between them is far more entangled and heavy than a marriage agreement.
Perhaps it was this emotion that made Shi Nansheng unable to extricate himself for a while, and even at the last moment, he hoped that Tsui Hark would be able to get out of the haze and re-show the light of "geek". Unfortunately, this time Tsui Hark once again lived up to her expectations. Now that he has completely lost his way, he has become an old man in the film and television industry, and has been criticized and criticized.
"I can't help but wonder if I should have given him more tolerance and time." Shi Nansheng lamented, "But no matter what the outcome, we ended up on the path we should have taken." Maybe this is the arrangement of fate, people just can't hold hands. "
Life is often unsatisfactory, and Shi Nansheng has been relieved. She hopes that she can give some encouragement and inspiration to more sisters in this marriage that ended without a problem.
"Don't be too attached to anyone, don't invest too much in anyone, after all, everyone's situation is different." Shi Nansheng said, "As long as you live your own life and adhere to your ideals, it is never too late." Love has always been an elusive thing, but we ourselves will always be the protagonists. "
