Hong Kong films have always been known for entertaining the public, so a large number of celebrities have been born in the history of Hong Kong film development. In the fifties and sixties of the last century, celebrities such as Shi Hui, Xia Meng, Chen Sisi, and Leti brought countless tears and laughter to the audience with their outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, leaving many classics.
Chen Sisi's"Three laughs", this classic Huangmei tune made most mainland audiences fall in love at once"Chu Xiang"。Especially"The Three Princesses of the Great Wall"Edison Chen's wedding is a topic of conversation on the streets of Hong Kong.
Edison Chen and Hong Kong's number one movie star Gao Yuanyuan were known at that time"Golden Boy and Jade Girl"。In the end, the two did not grow old together, but Chen Sisi married Gao Yuanyuan's uncle and changed from a wife to an aunt. Such an ending is also jaw-dropping, and even doubts about its authenticity. What kind of turn has happened to the relationship between Gao Yuanyuan and Chen Sisi?
Autumn fragrance"Chen Sisi.
Chen Sisi, formerly known as Chen Limei, was born in 1938. She has been good at singing and dancing since she was a child, and her classmates said that she was suitable to be an actress, but Chen Sisi just laughed it off at the time. Her dream is to be a teacher or a doctor.
In 1954, the Great Wall Film Company recruited actors in Hong Kong. Chen Sisi thinks"Have a play"It's not bad, so I signed up with the mentality of giving it a try. So, the examiner took a fancy to the unpretentious Chen Sisi and enrolled her in an actor training class. With his acting talent, good looks, and innate performance"Feel", she soon began to appear in films.
Chen Sisi is known for portraying chivalrous women on the screen. The image of a chivalrous woman she created has both the unique softness of Jiangnan women and the atmosphere of northern women. Yunbang has starred in martial arts films such as "Double Gun Huang Yinggu" and "Secret Killing". The most familiar film to mainland audiences is "Three Smiles", which was released in the mainland after the reform and opening up.
In 1962, Li Pingqian, director of the Great Wall Film Company, adapted and filmed "Three Smiles" based on Feng Menglong's "Warning Words", that is, "Tang Jieyuan's Laughing Marriage". Chen Sisi plays the maid Qiuxiang in the film. Akika in the film is witty, beautiful, and amorous. She saluted in front of the Buddha, splashed water on the bow of the boat, and laughed at Tang Bohu, who got off the boat at Huating. His eyebrows and eyes are crooked, his smile is just right, charming and sweet, and he sings Jiangnan folk songs.
In order to play the autumn fragrance well and show the charm of classical beauty, Chen Sisi also specially visited a Peking Opera actor to learn Xi Peking Opera stage performance and show the audience the swaying posture of classical beauty. Due to the best-selling "Three Smiles" of the Great Wall Commercial Bank, the Shaw Brothers Company filmed a version of "The Three Smiles of the Shaw Brothers", and Qiu Xiang played the role of Li Jing, the leader of the Shaw Brothers Company. However, mainland audiences are familiar with Chen Sisi's version of "Three Laughs".
The mainland version of "Three Smiles" caused a sensation, but there are no reliable box office statistics. Some say that the box office reached 400 million, but there is no official data to prove it. However, people in the 50s of the 20th century clearly remember that the theatrical performance of "Three Laughs" was unprecedented, and it was hard to get a ticket.
Due to the sensational effect of Chen Sisi's version of "Three Smiles", the remake of "Three Smiles" starring Stephen Chow and Gong Li continued the relaxed style of "Three Smiles", but it successfully caused few laughs from the audience.
Due to the influence of Chen Peisi, she was invited to host the second Spring Festival Gala in 1984. The four hosts are Jiang Kun, Huang Ayuan, Jiang Lili and Chen Sisi. This is the first time that Hong Kong artists have been invited to host the Spring Festival Gala, and Cecilia Cheung was invited to host the Spring Festival Gala, which shows how influential Cecilia Cheung was at that time. Chen Sisi also sang the song "Three Laughs" in the ** short film of the 1984 Spring Festival Gala, which feasted the audience's ears and showed"Autumn fragrance"The true face.
Since then, Chen Sisi has slowly disappeared from public view. However, no one thought that the emotional experience behind this would be so tortuous.
Her husband, Gao Yuan, was Hong Kong's first movie star.

This "Painted Skin" also gave mainland audiences an understanding of what a horror film is, and it was brought to the mainland for screening after the reform and opening up in 1979.

The Shaw Brothers offered Chen Sisi a monthly salary of 3,000 euros. Shaw Brothers did not look at Gao Yuan's face and did not accept Chen Sisi's salary. Chen Sisi also failed to return to the Great Wall Company, so he could only temporarily settle in another small company.
