One ordinary night, in May 1991, Chen Lan received a **, and an anxious voice came from the other end.
Anita Mui's assistant called** and begged to come to the rescue of Sister Mei too soon, because she was beaten and the other party refused to release her.
Chen Lan hung up ** and drove to the other party's base alone, and found that Anita Mui had a red slap print on her face, and there were two ** guys next to her who were holding her tightly, and there was a circle of strong men standing around.
Chen Lan knew nothing about the future situation, but she firmly believed that she must not show weakness.
It didn't take long for a group of younger brothers to follow each other's boss and walk over. However, unexpectedly, the other party saw that the Empress Dowager Xiang was flustered, so he respectfully shouted: "Xiang is too good!."”
A misunderstanding caused the other party's eldest brother to intervene, because he knew Xiang Tai, so he avoided a vicious battle and successfully rescued Anita Mui from fire and water.
Once,"Xiang Tai"This title dominates most of the territory of Hong Kong's film and television industry, and the façade of the Xiang family completely depends on her alone.
Many people don't know that Xiang Huaqiang's first wife is not "Xiang Tai", but a "former Xiang Tai" in the Hong Kong film and television industry - Ding Pei;These two are both nobles of Xiang Huaqiang.
The life story of the younger brother Xiang Huasheng is more exciting than the story of the elder brother who only has two women.
The Xiang brothers, the giants who once dominated the Hong Kong film and television industry, today we look back on this pair of saga together. In the past 50 years, they have swept the rivers and lakes, leaving behind a brilliant "romantic history".
Ding Pei is an unusual woman who has only one name in her life - Bruce Lee.
In 1972, Ding Pei first met Bruce Lee under the introduction of Golden Harvest boss Zou Wenhuai.
No matter when and where, Ding Pei remembers what the two wore when they first met, and what color the tie he wore was.
Ding Pei was still a young actor at the time, and Bruce Lee had become an international superstar, and Ding Pei had a feeling of love at first sight for his idol.
The two later discovered that they had similar interests in each other, and they felt very familiar from the first meeting.
Therefore, for a long time, as long as Bruce Lee was filming, he would invite Ding Pei to visit the class, and arrange for Ding Pei to play some small roles by the way.
Ding Pei slowly developed a love for Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee also had some inexplicable affection for her.
However, at that time, Bruce Lee already had a wife Linda, so Ding Pei could only become his "confidant". As time passed, this relationship became more and more complicated.
The relationship between the two lasted only a year, but no one expected an accident.
Bruce Lee discussed the script at Ding Pei's house on July 20, 1973, and soon after felt a headache, so Ding Pei gave him two painkillers. Afterwards, Bruce Lee went into the bedroom to rest.
After a few hours, Ding Pei found that Bruce Lee had not woken up yet, so he went to wake him up. However, by the time she found out, Bruce Lee had stopped breathing. Ding Pei panicked and called ** to the personal doctor.
Sadly, the superstar of the moment has passed away in the year of the sixtieth year.
As a result, Ding Pei became the target of public criticism, and angry fans believed that she killed Bruce Lee, causing Ding Pei's life to fall into darkness.
She received all kinds of threatening letters, harassment** every day, and even some extreme fans asked her to "accompany her to the funeral".
Ding Pei was in the prime of his youth, but he suffered a double blow both physically and mentally.
At the low point of his life, Ding Pei not only encountered misfortune, but also luckily met Xiang Huaqiang.
During the filming of "Ironclad Evidence", Xiang Huaqiang and Ding Pei met.
Maybe out of love, or maybe out of sympathy, Xiang Huaqiang gave Ding Pei a smile when she became a "street rat".
Xiang Huaqiang not only took care of Ding Pei's food, clothing and daily life, but also gave her great spiritual encouragement. Gradually, the stormy Ding Pei felt that he had found an arm to rely on.
In 1976, they stepped into the palace of marriage with excitement, and the next year they welcomed a lovely daughter - Xiang Yongheng.
After Ding Pei gave birth to her daughter, she had a clearer understanding of many things, and she also realized that she didn't really "love" Xiang Huaqiang, and she never forgot Bruce Lee.
At the same time, Xiang Huaqiang and his younger brother Xiang Huasheng planned to get involved in the film and television industry, and they jointly established the company "Yongsheng Pictures".
However, it is a pity that the two films they invested in one after another ended dismally.
Career setbacks combined with emotional difficulties led to conflicts between the couple. It was at this time that Xiang Huaqiang met a woman who changed his life.
Xiang Huaqiang followed his younger brother to Taiwan to discuss investment, and he was always depressed. At a dance, Chen Lan and Xiang Huaqiang met for the first time.
Chen Lan, who fell in love at first sight, was deeply attracted to Xiang Huaqiang, although the latter was not good at expressing emotions, his temperament gave Chen Lan a sense of security. They looked at each other, and Chen Lan secretly rejoiced in her heart: "It's over."
Chen Lan's personality is straightforward and frank, and she expressed her emotions to Xiang Huaqiang, which made Xiang Huaqiang feel very surprised, but made him a little hesitant in front of this woman.
After he reacted, he took Chen Lan's hand and walked towards home, so Chen Lan and Ding Pei met like this.
Ding Pei looked at Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan's hands clasped tightly, and she suddenly understood a fact: she was not angry, but felt a lot more relaxed. She realized that she had not become a burden to Xiang Huaqiang.
In 1980, Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan entered the palace of marriage.
Chen Lan expressed special gratitude to Ding Pei and said, "No matter what, we are still a family. ”
Subsequently, Ding Pei became a monk to worship the Buddha, prayed for Bruce Lee, and began a life of seclusion.
Chen Lan and Xiang Huaqiang also embarked on a journey to conquer the Hong Kong film industry.
At first, the two were destitute until Chen Lan earned his first pot of gold by buying and selling clothes.
However, although Chen Lan's clothing business is booming, the film careers of the two brothers, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, still fail to improve.
Until 1986, director Wang Jing fell into an embarrassing situation.
Yongsheng Film saw hope, because of the film "Magic Jade", Wang Jing naturally became the mainstay of the company.
Since then, Yongsheng Film Company has completely established its position with the series of movies "Best Friend", "Hardcover Chasing Girls" and "God of Gamblers", and big names such as Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, and Cecilia Cheung have become household names because of these **.
During this period of time, Chen Lan has always held the decision-making power of the company, and insiders know that this strong woman "Xiang Tai" has become a substantial existence.
The most important reason why Chen Lan is famous in Hong Kong is not how powerful she is to her family, but how righteous she behaves in the world.
Chen Lan can be called Xiang Huaqiang's nobleman, if it weren't for her decisive decision-making and hard work, the Xiang brothers' company might still not be able to thrive.
Xiang Huaqiang is very dependent on his wife, and he once promised Chen Lan: "I will be a boss without scandals", and he has successfully fulfilled this promise!
Xiang Huaqiang and his wife have been together for 42 years, clean and self-conscious, and have two sons together - Xiang Zuo and brother Xiang You.
Now, Xiang Zuo has married actress Guo Biting, and they have also welcomed their own children.
Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan have long since retired to the rivers and lakes, living a peaceful family life and concentrating on taking care of their grandchildren.
However, the legends of the rivers and lakes still retain their memory.
Xiang Huaqiang's two marriages were very clean and neat, on the contrary, his younger brother Xiang Huasheng chose a completely different life path.
In 1986, 37-year-old Xiang Huasheng ushered in a turning point in his life.
In this year, the company he founded with his brother Xiang Huaqiang and his sister-in-law was a great success, but there were some problems in his marriage.
He married actress Zhang Meiling before starting the company, but after a long time together, the two gradually found that the differences in each other's personalities became more and more obvious, resulting in increasing conflicts between husband and wife.
At this special moment, Huasheng met 18-year-old Zhang Min, which accelerated the process of his divorce from Zhang Meiling.
Zhang Min met Xiang Huasheng thanks to Chen Lan's foresight, she saw the potential of Zhang Min, who was distributing leaflets on the street, and signed him with Yongsheng Company.
In the first year of joining Yongsheng, Zhang Min co-starred with Andy Lau and Mo Shaocong in the movie "Magic Jade". It was during this time that Xiang Huasheng developed a crush on her and decided to support Zhang Min strongly.
In 1992, Zhang Min filmed a total of 14 films, among which the classic works with Stephen Chow include "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", "Truant Weilong" and so on.
Anyone who understands things can perceive Xiang Huasheng's love for Zhang Min, and Zhang Min is not unaware, everything is in tacit understanding, and the two fell in love.
Xiang Huasheng loves Zhang Min very much, considering Zhang Min's career, he has always kept a low profile, and even insisted on keeping a friend between himself and Zhang Min when taking a group photo, so as not to cause false reports from entertainment magazines.
As we all know, the underworld forces were rampant in that era, and they would force artists to participate in movies without paying them.
The slapping incident of Anita Mui at the beginning is one of them, which troubles the artists.
Zhang Min has the support of the Xiang brothers behind her, so everyone on the road knows that no one dares to make any moves against her.
In order to live up to Xiang Huasheng, Zhang Min desperately participated in more than 70 films shot by Yongsheng Pictures, bringing considerable income to the company, which shows their relationship with each other.
However, in 1994, the relationship between the two changed, and this year they had been in love for 8 years and felt that it was time to enter a new stage of life.
At this time, an "expert" pointed out to Hua Sheng: "Zhang Min's cheeks are thin and her appearance is not prosperous, which is not good for her husband." Soon after, they broke up.
At present, this explanation seems to be untenable, but the past cannot be investigated, and no one can know what the real cause is.
In 1995, Zhang Min left Yongsheng Pictures and originally planned to change careers to become a director, but failed. After entering the new century, she began to seek development in the mainland, but she failed to make a breakthrough in either career or love.
The beauty has finally been forgotten by everyone in her life, which is really embarrassing.
After Zhang Min left, Xiang Huasheng also changed the trajectory of his life, he quit Yongsheng Pictures, and set foot in **, and made a lot of profits.
In 1999, Xiang Huasheng met Zhang Yushan, who was 24 years younger than him.
After the two established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, Xiang Huasheng was very considerate to her and taught her his own entrepreneurial experience.
In just three years, Cheung's company was successfully listed, making her the youngest chairman of a listed company in Hong Kong.
However, Zhang Yushan is also just a passerby on the road to Huasheng's love.
They ended their eight-year relationship in 2007, but the reason for their breakup is still unknown.
Two years later, Xiang Huasheng suddenly broke the news of his marriage, which shocked everyone.
His new wife is an outsider named Sakurako Duanki.
In the year of marriage, Xiang Huasheng was 59 years old, while Duanmu Sakurako was only 37 years old.
After that, Xiang Huasheng withdrew from the film industry and lived a very low-key life with his wife in Beijing.
Sakurako Duanki has a gentle and virtuous personality, she takes good care of her husband, and the two have a very happy married life.
However, it seems that fate does not favor their happiness, and in 2014, he was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer.
After learning the news, Duanmu Sakurako was in pain, but she still strongly encouraged her husband to actively cooperate**.
However, on November 20 of that year, Xiang Huasheng finally passed away at the age of 64.
At the time of parting, Xiang Huasheng held Duanmu's hand and said: "I have no regrets in this life, the only thing I care about is you, if I leave, who can take care of you?"”
Xiang Huasheng was comforted by Duanmu's eyes with tears in his eyes, and listened to her say: "I will take care of myself, you don't have to worry, you will always be by my side." ”
This happy marriage lasted only 5 years before ending forever. Now that 8 years have passed, Sakurako Duanki must have gradually come out of her sadness.
The two brothers seem to have very different emotional experiences, yet they are both looking for someone who is compatible with their hearts.
Hua Qiang's childhood was tormented, and his mother was weak and incompetent, which caused his father to be extremely unkind to him.
Therefore, since he was a child, he has made up his mind that he will never find a woman who is as weak as his mother.
Fortunately, he met Chen Lan, who was strong and self-reliant, and became his second girlfriend.
Xiang Huasheng's half-brother was the same as his elder brother in childhood, perhaps he was looking for his own "Xiang Tai" all his life, but in the end he found that the gentle and virtuous Xian Neisuke was the most suitable for him.
This proves once again the adage that what is best for you is the best.
