Last year's Huading Awards, one of the most undisputed awards, the Lifetime Achievement Award, was awarded to Zheng Peipei.
The streamer is easy to throw people away, Zheng Peipei is 72 years old this year, it is her daughter who helped her to the stage to receive the award, visible to the naked eye, faltering.
Over the decades, Shaw has produced many legendary actresses, such as Lottie, Dina, Li Jing, Lin Dai, He Lili, Lin Eva and so on.
But later, some of them killed in all directions among the giants, than How Lily. Although some have a gorgeous opening, they end up with a sad ending, such as Lin Dai and Li Jing.
Some have retired early, and Zheng Peipei is one of the actresses who have acted for the longest time among them.
She entered Shaw's filming at the age of 17, and has been filming for 55 years now, almost speaking, dedicating her life to the Cause of Chinese Cinema, and winning this award is indeed well deserved.
Zheng Peipei was born in Shanghai, her family is quite well-off, her father opened an ink factory, but also considered to have no worries about food and clothing. Unexpectedly, when he was a teenager, the family changed, and his father was exiled to a foreign country, and since then, he has not returned.
She ranked first in the family, and after falling in the middle of the family road, she has been assisting her mother in taking care of household affairs and taking care of her younger siblings as the eldest sister, and gradually formed a character of not accepting defeat.
And she is strong enough to seize opportunities.
Among all the brothers and sisters, Zheng Peipei's eldest sister is the most intelligent and clever.
Mother Zheng then decided to train her, squeezed out 3 yuan from the small living expenses, and sent her eldest sister to learn ballet from a White Russian nobleman in exile in Shanghai, and Zheng Peipei was responsible for picking her up and dropping her off every day.
Zheng Peipei is very envious of the eldest sister, but she is silent, but every time she is sent to class, she is not in a hurry to leave, waiting quietly in the living room, stealing the teacher to learn art at every opportunity.
Later, the teacher found that her sister was half-hearted in learning, but her sister was dancing like a model, so she suggested that Mother Zheng turn to cultivating the eldest sister.
In this way, Zheng Peipei successfully won the same treatment as the eldest sister, which also laid a footnote for her to embark on the road from the shadow in the future.
However, Zheng Peipei was accustomed to competing with herself when she was young, and in order to learn to dance well, she even postponed her plan to immigrate to Hong Kong with her family, and she studied hard in Shanghai for another year.
At the age of 14, she rushed to Hong Kong alone to join her family, and was successfully admitted to the Southern Training Class, signing a contract with Shaw Films after graduation.
Affected by the role, Zheng Peipei's middle-aged and elderly appearances, especially "Lady Hua" and "Blue-Eyed Fox", are quite deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that many viewers have forgotten that she is also young, thinking that she is a "chivalrous woman" as soon as she debuts.
But no matter which "chivalrous woman", it is from the "chivalrous woman", Zheng Peipei was already a chivalrous woman who shook the Xiangjiang River when she was young.
Yin peach mouth, melon face, willow leaf eyebrows, she gave birth to a bright eyes of the face.
Can be sweet.
It can also be glamorous.
When it is cold, it is heroic and compelling, and it is a unique style.
On Yan, Zheng Peipei of girls' generation is not inferior to those first-line female stars of the contemporary era. He also knows how to dance, so he is very popular with the big director.
The first film she participated in was "Baolian Lantern" directed by Yue Feng, when she glued a beard and played Lin Dai's father.
It's just that "Pauline Lantern" has a bad fate, and it took more than three years to shoot, because in the second year of filming, the heroine Lin Dai committed suicide because she gambled with her husband to take sleeping pills, and Shaw had to find a substitute to make up for the rest.
Even the stuntman also specially ran to Japan for plastic surgery, hoping to be able to make Lin Dai look, and the final effect was general, after all, Lin Dai's style, and a whole face, is it possible to restore?
Although the first acting failed, but because of the good dance foundation, strong sense of action rhythm, and hard work, Zheng Peipei has won the favor of many martial arts film directors, and has starred in many female roles.
In 1965, Hu Jinquan filmed "The Drunken Man", and The Shaw executive originally wanted to use another actress to play the heroine Jin Yanzi. However, Hu Jinquan believed that Zheng Peipei had a dance background and insisted on using her, and sure enough, the film caused a sensation after its release.
At that time, 19-year-old Zheng Peipei almost played the golden swallow, and since her, many popular literary and artistic actresses have turned into chivalrous women, dancing swords and swords, and the style of female heroes has begun to prevail.
For another three years, Shaw filmed the sequel to "The Drunken Man" "Golden Swallow", and the heroine is still Zheng Peipei. After the release of "Golden Swallow", Zheng Peipei was in the limelight for a while, and was rated as a "martial arts film queen" by the press.
What is rare is that after the red all over the Xiangjiang River, Zheng Peipei is still strict with himself.
She is very strong, and never refuses to show weakness in front of male actors, once filmed a scene of "heroes meet strong enemies", the director's design is that the male actors jump out of the window, and Zheng Peipei kills them from the door.
But she didn't do it: "Even the window doesn't dare to jump what a hero, I don't care, I want to jump!" ”
As a result, when she jumped out of the high window, her calf was scratched by the door frame, and the whole person lost her center of gravity and fell downstairs and fainted.
When she woke up, her first words were: "It doesn't hurt at all, let's keep jumping!" ”
She is also quite dedicated, is a workaholic on set, and never feels tired of playing women.
Once, she played against an actor, and when filming, she thought he was playing slowly, so she told the director team to change the real sword. The actor was so frightened that he asked the person next to him, "Will she kill me?" ”
Just this sentence led Zheng Peipei to suspect that he had gone mad with the scene.
Coupled with the discussion of people around her, they think that she is difficult to find a good son-in-law.
So Zheng Peipei, who was in his early 20s and whose career was on the rise, began to worry about his marriage, "At that time, everyone said that I couldn't marry out, because the women who made martial arts films looked fierce, and everyone was very worried." ”
In a hurry, she decided to find someone to marry.
In 1971, after filming "Lady Zhong Kui", she announced her retirement from the film industry, because the previous year, at her mother's card table, she met The original text, the son of the agent of Shaw Films at that time.
She had only been in a relationship with The Original Forty-One for a year, and she resolutely decided to marry.
Prior to this, Zheng Peipei had two youthful feelings with Yue Hua, the male protagonist of "The Drunkard", and Chen Honglie, the male partner.
The relationship between Zheng Peipei and Yue Hua is more complicated because of Yi Shu's intervention.
But her relationship with Chen Honglie later was good.
Chen Honglie has publicly stated many times before his death that Zheng Peipei is his first love, and in Zheng Peipei's eyes, Chen Honglie is a good friend who can be trusted.
Yue Hua was affectionate, and Chen Honglie was handsome, but Zheng Peipei was finally planted on The original text.
Limited by the times, her thinking logic is quite traditional, she adhered to the concept of "marrying a chicken with a chicken", and later followed the original text to the United States. And, this walk, that is, 20 years.
In this regard, her family and mentors also supported her decision, and they all believed that this was the best destination for a woman.
However, her life was not as smooth as others thought.
As soon as she got married, Zheng Peipei worked hard to "create people". She later mocked herself by saying that in the 20 years she lived in the United States, she had only done two things: having children and desperately trying to make money.
She had been pregnant 8 times and miscarried 4 times, because she was always pregnant, so much so that a big topic in Chinatown neighborhood was to guess whether the child in her belly was male or female.
She said that she had an incorrect idea about childbearing at that time, thinking that her husband was a single person, "Since I am his wife, I have this obligation, to lend him my belly to have children, and I regard childbirth as a job." ”
And because the first three children born were girls, she still had a heavy sense of guilt, because "I didn't give birth to a son to the original family."
This is a typical "Niangdao" thinking, but the reason why the heroine of "Niangdao" is criticized by modern people is because her thoughts have not changed from beginning to end.
But the same fate, two people, Zheng Peipeiqiang is strong, under the gears of fate, she changed step by step.
Born as a heroine, Zheng Peipei is still strong in her bones, and when others give birth to children, they shout in ah ah, but she is never embarrassed to call. Years later, she gave interviews and even described having a baby as "the little thing about having a baby."
She is also a person who can't be idle, and when she was pregnant, she was very busy, never rested, managed the house, managed the shop, and hosted the TV show "Pepe Time".
The husband thought she was too high-profile to be a good wife.
After that, Zheng Peipei lost more than 100,000 US dollars in the show, and their marriage also came to an end.
After bankruptcy, Cheng peipei returned to Hong Kong.
When she was at her worst, she couldn't afford to rent a house and lived in a Buddhist temple in Hong Kong for two years, she said, "It's not very difficult for people to live, they can eat enough, and it's good to have a place to sleep."
She tried to get back on the screen, but by this time Hong Kong movies had changed drastically, and finally she chose to put down the shelf of "Martial Arts Queen" and go to match others.
After her return, her first play was to play the comedy role "Lady Hua" in Stephen Chow's "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang".
At that time, Zheng Peipei's teacher, Director Hu Jinquan, and Director Li Hanxiang, arrested Zheng Peipei and trained her fiercely, and they could not agree with her nonsense.
Even Mother Zheng did not agree with her, "She is used to me being a star, a chivalrous woman, and suddenly wanting to play an old lady, she feels uncomfortable and humiliated." ”
Peers can't understand her, and Li Jing, the doll shadow queen, even said to her, "Do you want me to learn from you?" I'd rather borrow money from a friend. ”
But Zheng Peipei is completely abandoned, rather than relying on others to help, she said she is willing to rely on her own labor to make money.
In order to play the role of Mrs. Hua, she watched all of Zhou Xingchi's works, gong Li refused to be funny, and she made laughs with Zhou Xingchi.
When it is necessary to play, she will let the audience see a "heroic woman Zheng Peipei" who is not old.
In this way, she returned to the audience's sight step by step.
During the period, Chen Honglie knew her dilemma, and also took the initiative to introduce her to the producer Zhou Linggang, and finally she successfully signed a 100-episode contract with Feiteng Company, and Zheng Peipei mentioned this matter many years later, and she was more grateful.
In 2001, Cheng Pei Pei filmed Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and used this to reach a new peak, winning the Hong Kong Film Awards at the age of 55.
Film critics once believed that the cruel and stoic, desperate and affectionate "blue-eyed fox" could be played by no one but her.
She also dared to say, the reporter asked her Jackie Chan, Zhou Xingchi, Gu Tianle who is the most popular, she said bluntly: Jackie Chan.
The reporter routine said that Cecilia Cheung is a vase without acting skills.
She helped Cecilia Cheung deny it, saying that Cecilia Cheung acted well, but her work attitude was not good, "losing face to Hong Kong actors."
And Zheng Peipei, an actress who can open her life for acting, naturally does not understand Cecilia Cheung at that time.
Zheng Peipei, who is now over 70 years old, is still acting, and Liu Yifei started "Mulan" last year, and she also participated.
She had told the media that she planned to retire at the age of 65, but many years had passed, and she had no intention of stopping.
She had even filled out the body donation card, and the reporter asked why. She replied: I have wanted to be a useful person all my life, I feel that after I die, my body can still do useful things, I think my life is too perfect.
Young fame, martial arts film queen, married and had children at the peak, divorced at the age of 41, the company went bankrupt, destitute, raised 4 children alone, started from scratch in Hong Kong, and re-reached the peak at the age of 55.......
She had a gorgeous girlhood, middle-aged, but she went to the end of the road, but she was extremely resilient, and at the low point, she never complained the slightest, because "wake up tomorrow everything is different."
So the life at the end of the road also blossomed again.
Her life has been full of ups and downs.
Up to now, it has long been complete, but she still keeps walking, and the legend should be like this.
