The disturbing rumors lingered for two days, and the news of Zhou Haimei's death finally came definitely.
As early as the 11th, someone posted on Weibo that Zhou Haimei had passed away due to illness. The news quickly appeared on the hot search, but many ** called their studios, but did not receive a reply.
Soon someone said that they got the news that Zhou Haimei was still in **.
Zhou Haimei's former friend and Hong Kong director Chen Xunqi also replied on netizens' Weibo that the death was a rumor.
Soon things seemed to be bright, and everyone's hearts relaxed a little.
As a result, just yesterday, the obituary from the studio still confirmed the news, and the time of death in the obituary was the 11th that was previously circulated on the Internet.
The so-called insiders and ** are likely to have rushed the news of Zhou Haimei's death without authorization, so that many relatives and friends were already in the city before they learned the news.
No one wants their story to be made public in this way, but something worse is yet to come.
Earlier news said that the cause of Zhou Haimei's death was lupus erythematosus, and after the obituary was issued, a screenshot of a suspected record of Zhou Haimei's hospital delivery was circulated on the Internet, revealing in detail Zhou Haimei's rescue process, which contained a lot of private information.
You** contacted Shunyi Hospital of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the medical record, and the latter confirmed the authenticity of the medical record.
There is a golden sentence in the "News Queen", which was popular some time ago: only doctors have the right to announce death, but the news does not.
But for Zhou Haimei, after experiencing a physical death, she has continuously experienced the harm of rumors and the humiliation of leaking privacy.
When it comes to Zhou Haimei, everyone's favorite word is "childhood goddess".
Over the years, the threshold of the word goddess in the Chinese context has become lower and lower, basically equivalent to "female", but in Zhou Haimei, the word still retains its original meaning.
The straight male forum Hupu holds the "Goddess Competition" every year, Jia Jingwen, Qiu Shuzhen, and Gao Yuanyuan have all reached the top, and these three people have one thing in common: they have all starred in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
Four women are in the same boat, and Yan Dog feasts.
Among them, Gao Yuanyuan, who plays Zhou Zhiruo, has been the runner-up for four consecutive years, because the voting champion will automatically withdraw from the next year's general election, so male fans will control the vote every year, so that she can continue to stay on the next year's list.
Gao Yuanyuan's highlight moment was when he starred in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" at the age of 24, and since then he has become the white moonlight in the hearts of a generation.
Even so, in the minds of most gold fans, the best Zhou Zhiruo in history still doesn't think about second people. Even Jin Yong said that he knew that Zhou Haimei would play it, so he let Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji be together.
Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Haimei, the two versions of Zhou Zhiruo are put together, which is a textbook-like "Wanwan class".
Gao Yuanyuan's facial features are simply found according to Zhou Haimei, and there are many ways to perform, even a cinnabar in the center of the eyebrows is a pixel-level replica.
Zhou Haimei is often confused in the play due to her high myopia, and this point has also achieved a kind of "inheritance" in Gao Yuanyuan.
Among the countless heroines in Jin Yong**, Zhou Zhiruo can be regarded as the most complex character and the most difficult role to perform.
Zhou Zhiruo in the early stage was a simple and kind girl, "Xiuruo Zhilan, gentle and gentle";After experiencing major changes in sects and feelings, it has turned into a ruthless and ruthless one, "with a majestic demeanor in the ice and snow dust, and thousands of heroes are shocked".
Zhou Haimei perfectly interprets the two Zhou Zhiruo. From the early stage of the innocent, moving like a rabbit:
In the later stage, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he was ruthless and crazy:
Today, "blackening" in costume dramas has become a fixed pattern, but most of the time, actors do not have the ability to give convincing performances, so they can only rely on costumes and makeup to create an effect.
And Zhou Haimei's version of Zhou Zhiruo, with only her eyebrows and eyes, has completed the perfect interpretation of "blackening", and the two Zhou Zhiruo are distinct, as impressive as a knife and an axe.
When Yang Peipei invited Zhou Haimei to play Zhou Zhiruo, it was originally an opportunity that others couldn't ask for, but Zhou Haimei felt that she couldn't understand this character, so she refused.
Zhou Haimei doesn't understand that there are two main points about Zhou Zhiruo in the original work, one is that Zhou Zhiruo is too "bad", and the second is that Zhou Zhiruo's attitude towards feelings makes her difficult to empathize, love if you love, and throw away if you don't love, why hesitate and entangle repeatedly?
In later versions, we see that Zhou Haimei created a different Zhou Zhiruo from previous versions.
At the end of Jin Yong's newly revised version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhang Wuji: Although you are husband and wife and give birth to dolls, if you live for ten or eight years, you will only think of me in your heart, and you will only be reluctant to me, which is enough.
In the drama version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", most of them follow this setting, although Zhou Zhiruo is ruthless on the surface, she has never been able to forget Zhang Wuji.
Only in Zhou Haimei's version, after Zhou Zhiruo experienced betrayal and abandonment, there was no trace of restraint, just like a goddess of revenge, and there was no child in other versions.
This version of Zhou Zhiruo may be the highest force value in the past dynasties, and even Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min can't match it, and in the end, she killed Wudang and called the battle, and even Zhang Sanfeng had to deal with it very mentally.
The reason why this version of Zhou Zhiruo can become a classic is that in addition to beauty, she also integrates Zhou Haimei's own life experience. Dare to love and hate, which is also a footnote to Zhou Haimei's own life.
Although she was often shown as a "jade girl" in the 90s, Zhou Haimei herself was not well-behaved at all.
Father Zhou even thought she was too troublesome, and when she was 17 years old, she took it upon himself to sign up for Miss Hong Kong for her, hoping to make her accept her temperament.
As a result, Zhou Haimei still went her own way at the scene of the Hong Kong sister selection, and the judges asked her if she watched TV, and she replied directly: I don't like it, I think TV is boring.
And shout out your dreams on TV:"Becoming Asia's First Female Astronaut".
Swimsuit catwalk, she shares her way of showing off on the beach:"Record your own out-of-tune songs and broadcast them on the stereo to prevent men from looking at girls with erotic eyes."
In the end, Zhou Haimei did not enter the top 10 because she was too childish, which means that Hong Kong should be more stable.
She was so happy that she ran around in a sea of tears backstage, shouting "congratulations" to others.
But Zhou Haimei was still favored by TVB to sign a contract.
As a result, Zhou Haimei just made her debut and ran into TVB's big production "Yang Jiajiang".
This drama is known as the crown of Hong Kong radio, and the cast is extremely strong: Andy Lau , Tony Leung , Tang Zhenye , Carina Lau , Zhao Yazhi , etc., Zhou Haimei was the only amateur at that time, comparable to the stars holding the moon.
Later, Zhou Haimei recalled that at that time, it was completely chasing ducks to the shelves, and she didn't even know that the camera rack was in **, and it was a mess on the set.
But her star path has been getting smoother and smoother since then, and it can only be said that being popular can't be stopped.
In 1986, Zhou Haimei participated in the annual ratings champion drama "Rogue Tycoon", and her value rose sharply;1989's "Intolerable Love" pushed her to the position of a first-line actress in Hong Kong.
In 1993, Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye" came out and swept across the Taiwan Strait. The heroine in the MV is none other than Zhou Haimei.
In 1994, she met "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", although there have been many classic roles since then, but when it comes to Zhou Haimei, people always automatically think of the girl with a cinnabar mole on her eyebrows.
It's just that most people don't know that under Zhou Zhiruo, the real Zhou Haimei:
Freedom, free and easy, stretching like the sea, as bright as the sun.
This purity and simplicity have transformed into diligence and courage after entering the workplace.
When TVB was busiest, Zhou Haimei had not closed her eyes for four days and four nights, and often fell asleep in the dressing room, but she was not too satisfied with the role:
She is an independent and strong person, but because of her appearance, she always receives some sisters next door and pitiful characters.
When she first entered the industry, Zhou Haimei didn't have much right to speak, and when the contract expired, she already had some experience and fame, and Zhou Haimei decisively did not renew her contract with Wireless.
For a long time, Zhou Haimei couldn't get a job, and she almost couldn't pay the rent for two months, until producer Yang Peipei invited her to Taiwan to film, and she decided to travel far away, so she had Zhou Zhiruo, who brought her to the peak of her career.
Miraculously, in Hong Kong, where tabloids are flying all over the sky, Zhou Haimei, who is famous for her beauty, does not have much gossip around her.
The romance with Dawn is confusing, and it is well known that she had a marriage.
The man, Lu Liangwei, proposed to Zhou Haimei on her 21st birthday, and the two decided to register on a whim. Although the love between the two has long since passed, the friendship has not dissipated. When talking about each other, Zhou Haimei always said thanks, "I was very young at the time, and he took good care of me." ”
At the age of 36, she left everything in Hong Kong and came to Beijing. At the time, she was in love with an architect who had lived in Beijing for a long time, and many people thought she had migrated for love, and she half-jokingly said in an interview, "partly because of him, he may not have such a great charm."
This stable relationship stopped in 2016, and the reason for the breakup was that Zhou Haimei didn't want to get married.
She was still the same bright girl running by the sea.
No matter how old she is, no matter what kind of relationship she is, Zhou Haimei knows very well that she enjoys it when she loves, and she is neat and simple when she is not suitable.
On the third day of Zhou Haimei's departure, it snowed heavily in Beijing.
And 21 years ago, it was also a heavy snowfall that brought Zhou Haimei to Beijing.
Every time she talks about the reason for going north, she will talk about the heavy snow in 2002, which was written into "The First Snow in 2002" by Daolang, and also lived in Zhou Haimei's heart. "Looking out from the hotel, the whole park is white, and I think this snowy city is very romantic. ”
From the age of 36 to 57, she has lived in Beijing for 21 years. She said that her favorite is the first snow in Beijing: "When I sleep at night, when I get up in the morning, I will see that the ground is full of snow, no one has stepped on it, there are no footprints, it is very beautiful and clean." ”
After seeing the first snow in Beijing in 2023, she quietly left.
Many post-80s generations realized that Zhou Haimei seemed to have disappeared in front of the public for a long, long time, and occasionally saw her in the Hong Kong-style beauty mixed cut**, she always had vigorous black hair and dazzling eyebrows.
No one believed that such a beautiful appearance would grow old, and such a agile demeanor would pass away.
When did Zhou Haimei start to disappear?
In terms of the frequency of appearing on the screen, Zhou Haimei has gradually faded out of the public eye since 1998. It has been observed that since 1998, Zhou Haimei's dramas and activities have decreased a lot, as if she has physical problems.
In 2006, Yang Gongru, who had acted in the TV series "Across the Seas" with Zhou Haimei, suddenly broke the news on the blog that Zhou Haimei had lupus erythematosus.
But for "lupus erythematosus", Zhou Haimei has always held a denial attitude. She once revealed on the show that she had a problem with low platelets, which was so severe that she fainted and had to be treated with blood transfusions.
Another effect of low platelets is that a slight bump will cause bruises and scars, which makes her crew work a lot trickier, and Zhou Haimei on the screen naturally decreases.
And another reason for Zhou Haimei to fade out of the public eye may be the decline of Hong Kong's Jade Girl Era.
"Jade Girl" used to be the hottest genre in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it is not easy to be a "Jade Girl", with a particular temperament, appearance, and figure, so there are very few "Jade Girls" who are truly recognized by the audience.
Zhou Haimei, Zhou Huimin, and Cecilia Cheung are all representatives of the image of a jade girl: watery eyes, fair, black and straight hair, and some baby fat. On this basis, some people are gentle, some are girly, some are smart, and each has its own charm.
From the perspective of this genre now, it is actually a deformation of the white thin and young aesthetics, and in the era of the popularity of "her theme", cool dramas like "News Queen" are popular, and the sassy heroine has long replaced the jade girl and become the new female representative on the screen.
Zhou Haimei's eyes used to be Chu Chu moving, because the highly myopic Xi habit of squinting or staring was called "personal charm", and now it will be understood as "staring acting".
When she starred in "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", she was viciously spoken of because of her acting skills and personality, and received a lot of curses and abuse. She couldn't stand the hurricane of Internet violence and chose to quit Weibo.
In 2019, she played the extermination master in the new version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and was ridiculed by many people as "finally becoming the person I hate the most".
She has refused many times, not because she is old, but for fear of ruining everyone's classic impression of the 94 version of Zhou Zhiruo. But people can't be girls for the rest of their lives, she said: "Life has come to this stage, as an actor, it has reached the time when you can control the extermination of Shitai." ”
is famous for her beauty, and she is destined to be concerned about her appearance and figure for the rest of her life, her short ** also began to use filters, and deliberately controlled her diet, calling her Grandma Zhou, she also agreed, calling her a goddess, she also responded, and she couldn't help but reply when others asked about private matters in married life: "What do you have to do with it."
She has always been so wanton and gentle. She enjoys love and enjoys the life of a person, does not have children, and does not consider *** she will do charity, sponsoring orphans and women in poor areas.
She decorated her house in Beijing as a childhood island, planted a lot of vegetables and fruits, raised a lot of cats and dogs like when she was a child, and always couldn't help but share it with her fans.
Unmarried and single in his 50s, with two golden retrievers as companions, feeling the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in his own small yard, isn't this a richer life experience?
Dare to hate and love, do not hide it, always know what you want, and be true to your ...... at different stages of life
What a free soul this is, what a rare person.
It's a pity that "beauties have been like famous generals since ancient times, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world".
In 2023, when youth ends, we say goodbye to a childhood goddess in the last month, from Coco Li to Zhou Haimei, in a trance, I thought I was the child who looked up and admired the goddess of the screen, but in a blink of an eye, we found that the idols of our youth have begun to gradually leave this world.
Perhaps, this is the helplessness of people approaching middle age.
