In 1986, when 18-year-old Zhang Min was still an ordinary girl, in order to help her family, she distributed advertising leaflets on the streets of Hong Kong. One day, the car of movie tycoon Chen Lan passed by Zhang Min, and her dignified and outstanding demeanor attracted Chen Lan's attention. As the female director of Xiang's Pictures, Chen Lan has been looking for candidates for the company's newly established artist department, and she sees in Zhang Min the potential to become an artist.
By chance, Zhang Min became the first artist signed by Xiang's Pictures. The company's senior management had high hopes for her, and soon arranged for her to co-star with the popular student Andy Lau in the movie "Magic Jade". This is the first step in Zhang Min's acting career, although she is not a starring role, but working with the box office bomb crew has opened her up in one fell swoop. The outstanding debut won Zhang Min the attention of Xiang Huasheng, the head of Xiang's Film and Television, who took a fancy to her youthful vitality and promoted her as an ace newcomer. Under the planning of Xiang Huasheng, Zhang Min co-starred with fellow newcomers Zhou Huimin, Maggie Cheung, and Qiu Shuzhen in the light comedy series "Hardcover Chasing Girls". Zhang Min's glamorous appearance and outstanding acting skills made Zhang Min stand out, and she quickly accumulated popularity among the audience. Xiang Huasheng decided to let Zhang Min take charge of the big production and co-star with Stephen Chow, a box office guarantee, in the comedy action film "The Saint of Gambling". The success of this movie has created Zhang Mintian's popularity in one fell swoop, and her on-screen couple with Stephen Chow has made her a "first-generation star girl".
Xiang Huasheng, as a legendary tycoon in the Hong Kong film and television industry, has walked a tortuous entrepreneurial road, which can be said to be textbook. As a teenager, he worked in a variety of occupations, including a radio repairman, a sound recorder, and a movie theater ticketer. Over the years, Xiang Huasheng has a thorough understanding of the operation of the entertainment industry. In the early 80s, he and his brother Xiang Huaqiang jointly founded "Yongsheng Film and Television Company", which filled the gap in Hong Kong film production at that time. While expanding the company's territory, Xiang Huasheng also has strong connections in the film industry. Zhang Min joined Yongsheng through the recommendation of his wife Chen Lan. Xiang Huasheng has a special appreciation for this newcomer who is nearly 20 years younger than him. The two had frequent contact at work and gradually fell in love. Love accelerated the take-off of Xiang Huasheng's career, and he made every effort to build Zhang Min to become the queen of the box office, and he himself became an iconic figure in Hong Kong films in the 90s.
This relationship lasted for 9 years, making them seem stable and good in the whirlpool. The good times didn't last long, Zhang Min's career was already in full swing, but Xiang Huasheng never fulfilled the marriage contract. She was no longer satisfied with the identity of her lover and insisted on marrying Xiang Huasheng. When she refused, she left angrily. This also became the end of the love between the two. Xiang Huasheng, who had a change in love, could no longer find that passion, and his career entered a trough. And Zhang Min also experienced ups and downs after leaving his umbrella. After leaving Xiang's Pictures, Zhang Min was determined to prove himself. With years of savings, she directed and starred in a costume romance film "One Thousand and One Nights: Dream Lover", the male and female protagonists are friends Leung Jiahui and Wu Qianlian.
This is Zhang Min's first free hand, and she has the final say on the role and plot herself. However, the good times did not last long, and Liang Jiahui pushed away for various reasons after half of the shooting, causing Zhang Min to give up his efforts and lose tens of millions of dollars. The blow to her career made Zhang Min lose trust in human nature, and she lived in seclusion in her hometown in Shanghai, living an ordinary life. Just when she was isolated from the world, Wang Yu, a man 7 years younger than her, came unexpectedly. His enthusiastic and unrestrained personality successfully impressed Zhang Min's defense, and the two quickly fell in love. Wang Yu's family background is illustrious, which is Zhang Min's confidence restored. When she went out of the mountain again, she returned to her old business and returned to the film and television industry under the protection of Wang Yu. The good times are not long, and as Zhang Min regains popularity, her predecessor Xiang Huasheng came to find trouble and asked her to leave Wang Yu. Unexpectedly, Wang Yu was not afraid of the black boss and successfully repelled his opponent.
Just when Zhang Min thought that Prince Charming had finally appeared, he found out just two years later that Wang Yu's passion had shifted to the popular actress Zhao Wei. History repeats itself again, and Zhang Min chose to leave. After experiencing adversity, Zhang Min no longer has high hopes for love. In 2003, while developing in Shanghai, she met a well-known Hong Kong agent, Liu Yonghui. Liu Yonghui, who once paved the way for Liu Yifei to become famous, witnessed Zhang Min's process from the peak to the bottom, and he sincerely wanted to help her rebuild her career. The two have been going back and forth for a long time, and Zhang Min was once again moved by the sincerity of a close friend. She took the initiative to fall in love with Liu Yonghui and was ready to enter into marriage. Eventually, however, they went their separate ways. Zhang Min is no longer confused by love, and she devotes all her energy to Buddhist practice. Frequent visits to temples and religious lectures.
Material matter is no longer important, she longs for the sublimation of the soul. After many ups and downs in life, Zhang Min finally saw the world clearly, and secluded in the mountains and forests without asking about the mortal dust. Zhang Min was once in infinite beauty, and his life was at its peak. As one of the four stunners in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, she is known as Lin Qingxia, Zhu Yin, and Qiu Shuzhen. The audience is vying for her starring works, and thousands of fans are crazy about her. In a blink of an eye, when people reach middle age, this goddess also fades into brilliance. She is no longer in the public eye, and only occasionally passes by in the entertainment news. Unexpectedly, Zhang Min suddenly reappeared on the hot search in December 2021. The way she appeared this time was suffocating - she was used as a gimmick to appear in the live broadcast room by an unpopular Internet celebrity producer "Senior Brother Fan", and placed it in front of the camera for netizens to watch.
Zhang Min, who was sick at the time, was wearing pajamas and repeatedly refused to "appear on camera", but he was still "shown" violently by the other party. The playful style and tone are like displaying a commodity. **Netizens who live broadcast couldn't stand it, and expressed "extreme disrespect" and "strongly condemned such behavior". They also left a message with pity: "Goddess, please directly shake this dick", "We are forever diva-level characters in our hearts". After the incident, Zhang Min responded that he and the "senior brother Fan" had the same beliefs and had a close relationship. But most people still feel worthless for this goddess who fell from a diva to was abused by her lover. After the turmoil subsided, Zhang Min did not explain the "Senior Brother Fan" incident. She no longer cares about the eyes of others as much as she did when she was younger, and she sees through the transience of public memory.
From a goddess to an eye-catching tool, the outside world may criticize her, but she doesn't care about it in her heart. After many experiences, Zhang Min has long since put his life out of the way. Now she lives a life and takes the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry very lightly. occasionally takes on some costume dramas to act as a trick, that is, to make a living. Zhang Min spends most of his time practicing Buddhism or interacting with neighbors. She doesn't care about success or failure by secular standards. Greeting each other with a smile and sleeping soundly every day is a small blessing in life. Gradually, the shadow of Zhang Min in the public memory also faded. What remains in front of the camera is just an ordinary middle-aged woman, living a life that is no different from all ordinary people.
However, there is a corner in her heart that is still looking forward to the return of love. Even though things keep changing, she is still waiting for the next one to appear in sight. Even if she is no longer immature, even if she may not be smart, as long as that person appears, she will still embark on the journey without hesitation.
