Recently, TVB's 56th anniversary Taiwanese drama "News Queen" swept the whole network, Douban 8With a high score of 2, it has become the hottest workplace drama at the moment.
At the same time, Charmaine Sheh's heroine Wen Huixin is also popular.
Reporter Wen Huixin became famous a few years ago for reporting on the King of Thieves case and became the "Queen of News". Years later, she single-handedly managed to rise to the top of the management team, and started a round of open and secret battles.
Compared with Wen Huixin, who is in love in mainland TV dramas, she has been through ups and downs along the way, and she has no love career brain from beginning to end, which makes the audience scream again and again, and even has the name of "watching TVB at its peak again".
And outside the play, Charmaine Sheh herself is also a very "big heroine".
Charmaine Sheh only entered the entertainment industry in 1997, and it seems to be good luck that fell from the sky for her, just as Wen Huixin inadvertently encountered a report on the king of thieves.
Charmaine Sheh's father passed away when she was five years old, and her mother pulled her three children alone, often crying secretly at night, and the sensible Charmaine Sheh would hold her mother.
Growing up, Charmaine Sheh went to Switzerland to study part-time to relieve her family's pressures, and only returned to Hong Kong after graduating from university.
At that time, her mother was ready to remarry, and Charmaine Sheh was ready to leave her mother in the true sense of independence, so she turned her attention to the "Miss Hong Kong" draft at that time.
At that time, it was the first time in Hong Kong, and there were many talents in the music scene, from Tan Zhang to fight for hegemony, down to the Four Heavenly Kings and Eason Chan, Gu Juji, and "rookies" also competed to emerge.
In film and television dramas, TVB is also popular with many newcomers, and a considerable proportion of these newcomers are "Hong Kong sisters" in the draft.
Since the 80s, TVB seems to have always liked Hong Kong sisters, such as Chen Farong, Qiu Shuzhen, Cai Shaofen, Yuan Yuyi, etc., all of whom are Hong Kong sisters.
The Miss Hong Kong draft is like a stepping stone to the circle.
But Charmaine Sheh doesn't plan to be a star, she just thinks that the draft is very popular, and she will find one more thing for herself.
Mom used to be a radio DJ in the 70s, open-minded, and has a certain "relationship" with the entertainment industry, so she cheered Charmaine Sheh, and now that she has an idea, it is better to try boldly.
Charmaine Sheh was encouraged by her mother to run for Miss Hong Kong.
That year coincided with Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and TVB decided to use the theme of "Six Dynasties" to let the draft Hong Kong sisters show their talents.
As a result, Charmaine Sheh prepared six dances, often rehearsed until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and attended a press conference at ** o'clock the next morning.
In order to avoid the bad state of puffy eyes, Charmaine Sheh didn't even dare to drink saliva before going to bed.
Her hard work was not in vain, and she won the 3rd place with excellent results.
However, TVB focused on supporting the champion and runner-up, and Charmaine Sheh, who was the third, had no chance.
TVB attached the most importance to the runner-up Lee Minghui's competition at that time, and the campaign was already tailoring a TV series for him before the election ended.
But after running for the election, Li Minghui didn't put her mind on acting, because she met her sweetheart Wu Youzheng on the night of the final.
After only ten days of love, Li Minghui announced that she was going to Los Angeles with her boyfriend to hold a wedding, and planned to terminate the contract with TVB after marriage and quit the entertainment industry.
However, a month after the marriage was announced, Wu Youzheng was photographed dating Weng Jiasui.
The champion and runner-up started the "love defense war", no one had the heart to do a career, and TVB had to look at Charmaine Sheh, who had been hanging out.
At that time, Charmaine Sheh did not have the style of a royal sister now, in her early 20s, when she first entered the society, she was still pure and lovely, weak and weak, and even dared not speak hoarsely.
According to her style of that era, TVB chose the right character for her - Miao Ruolan, the heroine of Jin Yong** "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".
TVB's new members who turned the tide, natural resources are not bad for money, and she just debuted on the stage with Huang Rihua, Shao Meiqi and other seniors.
The big names gathered at the filming site, which made people feel more and more that she was a rookie newcomer.
She was criticized by the "chicken voice" for her soft-spoken words; It was started because it was 1 minute late and was scolded by the director; Due to the lack of lines, he had already memorized it well and didn't bring the scene, so the director scolded and smashed his head with the play.
Charmaine Sheh is a non-professional background, has no professional acting training, knows nothing, and is not a talented player, she just filmed that scene, which is really miserable.
After the TV series was broadcast, the audience also criticized her for being naïve and unable to play the image of Miao Ruolan at all.
In the face of all doubts, ridicule and abuse, Charmaine Sheh always held back tears, and secretly vowed in her heart that she would perform this scene well and be respected by others.
In order to practice her skills, she got up early every day and read the newspaper greedily at night, and her voice was audible even to her neighbors.
She watched classic movies over and over again, studying the expressions in the mirror and enjoying them slowly.
In the next two years, she did not sleep for five days and four nights in a row, and also set a record of shooting 100 episodes of movies in a year.
Charmaine Sheh co-filmed the TV series "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" in 2000 with Cheung Chi-lam and Ma Junwei. At this time, Charmaine Sheh had been debuting for three years.
In the play, she plays the role of a sharp tooth, Zhu Junhao is a lively and cute, sharp tooth.
This character is very different from Charmaine Sheh herself and the characters before her, it is no longer gentle, it requires her to completely liberate herself.
In this regard, Charmaine Sheh specially adjusted her lines, changed her breath and voice, showing her confidence to the fullest, and her expression was a lot more flexible, which greatly subverted people's impression of her.
As a result, Charmaine won her first turnaround.
Charmaine Sheh has not had time to stand in the world with her own works, and people's discussions about Charmaine Sheh are not only comments on her acting skills, but also Charmaine Sheh's emotions, and now Charmaine Sheh's love life has become a hot topic of public attention.
In the past 20 years, many male stars have had scandals with Charmaine Sheh, but she herself admits that the relationship is only 3.
The first period is when Charmaine Sheh went to Switzerland to study, her boyfriend is from Taiwan, China, and she met her compatriots overseas, and the two are very friendly and get along very quickly.
The boyfriend's family conditions are very superior, and Charmaine Sheh can do nothing when she gets along with him, just eat and sleep at home every day.
Basically, I have experienced "marrying into a wealthy family" in advance.
After 3 months like this, Charmaine Sheh felt a little collapsed and didn't know what to do.
At the age of 22, it seems that Yilai can't reach out for food and open his mouth. Life that can be seen at a glance is really boring. No way.
In this way, Charmaine and her boyfriend broke up.
Later, I met dentist Li Nianwei in the Hong Kong sister draft.
Li Nianwei used to be the chairman of Yan Chai Hospital, a well-known charity in Hong Kong, and is more active in the Hong Kong social circle.
At that time, Charmaine Sheh's career had just begun, 22-year-old Li Nianwei had plans to get married, their life plan was deviated, and she didn't want to give up her career like this, so Charmaine Sheh could only say goodbye to her lover again.
Charmaine Sheh hit the nail on the head when she pointed out that due to too many films, too long working hours, and less personal time, she had to find someone who was willing to sacrifice time to accommodate her boyfriend, but this kind of person was difficult to find.
It wasn't until later that she met Chen Haomin, who is also an actor.
In 2002, Charmaine Sheh and Chen Haomin co-created "Drifting Men and Women" and "Love Soda Machine", and the two had a deep relationship. After several pats, he finally admitted the existence of love.
When he fell in love with Chen Haomin, Chen Haomin was often amused.
She commented on Chen Haomin: "In my own world, only happiness and optimism can resolve everything. He didn't make me laugh on purpose, but naturally and viscerally, so he made me feel very comfortable. ”
It was then that Charmaine understood that what she wanted was the man who could make her happy and smile.
This is what she wants most in her life.
But it's a pity that the two of them eventually went their separate ways because of less togetherness.
When the age is up, the career is about to sprint again. ”
When she was young, Charmaine did not think about what she wanted to be a "full-time housewife", and it was even more impossible when she matured.
The crisis of middle-aged actresses is a long-standing problem.
Yang Rong once said in the play that if she hadn't portrayed herself as a "young woman", there would be no drama.
Haiqing once called in public in the hope of providing certain opportunities for middle-aged and elderly actresses.
Whether it is the queen or the queen, or whether it is a traffic flower or how many awards it has won, it seems that people will inevitably encounter a crisis when they reach middle age.
Because "less than the top, more than the bottom", compared with those big coffees, there is still a long way to go, and compared with young people, the freshness is far from enough.
So it's really difficult.
But Charmaine Sheh is not in crisis when she reaches middle age.
TVB Charmaine Sheh has left many classic masterpieces such as "Palace Scheming", "Forensic Pioneer", "Imperial Flower", "Golden Branch Desire", etc., and became the first TVB double queen with "Phoenix Quartet", and later regained the double queen because of "Apostle Walker".
With the decline of TVB, she is also known as "the last generation of TVB".
But even so, in the case of declining rivers and difficult times, she can only go with the flow with everyone.
Therefore, after the contract with TVB expired, Charmaine Sheh did not renew the contract and turned to the mainland.
Almost all of TVB's opponents have been photographed, and there is no spark to be found, and I want to come outside to see the area of the world. ”
The biggest problem that TVB actors encountered when growing up in the mainland was the problem of Mandarin.
Just like just coming out to practice her lines, Charmaine Sheh worked hard to practice Mandarin, but it was not standardized enough, if you want not to delay the progress, and at the same time be able to better devote yourself to the role, you can only say your lines in Cantonese first.
But at the end of each line, she always insisted on using Mandarin so that other actors could pick it up.
In 2018, when he was preparing to shoot "Yanxi Raiders", he discovered Charmaine Sheh.
The salary is low and there are few plays, but Charmaine Sheh took it.
This film, from the beginning, was called "a street drama participated by a group of middle-aged actors who couldn't make a lot of money".
However, it is this kind of scheduled "street fighting" scene that makes Charmaine Sheh show her talents.
Charmaine Sheh played the concubine who was gentle and graceful, low-key and benevolent in the early days, but later because she was deeply involved in palace fighting, her father was imprisoned, her mother committed suicide, and her brother died of illness, and she began to be insidious and cunning.
One character, two personalities, its performance is not inferior to the "Phoenix Quartet" with one person playing the four corners after getting a double view.
Netizens also praised her: "There is an acting skill called blackening that does not need smoky makeup."
Even Nie Yuan praised her and said: "Acting in a play with Sister Man, you have to be careful."
Since then, Charmaine Sheh has played Cheng Fengtai's wife and second grandmother Fan Xianger in "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red".
A local Hong Kong actor happened to interpret the straightforward and pungent character of a woman outside the Guanxi into an unusually distinct image.
In comparison, other TVB actresses will more or less feel unaccustomed to the mainland when they come to the mainland.
Like Charmaine Sheh, she is the master of TVB, Shao Meiqi and Guo Xianni both came to the mainland to develop and starred together in the Yu Zheng drama "Palace Lock Heart Jade", but it was short-lived, and there was no follow-up.
Only Charmaine Sheh's works have come out of the circle and are the most popular among TVB actors in the north.
This time, Charmaine Sheh made a comeback to TVB and once again "killed" a beautiful return gun. can't help but sigh: the queen is the queen.
Now Charmaine Sheh is 48 years old, still single, loves to travel, loves to read, loves to draw, will drive his own sports car to pick up friends to go out to play, and live a free life.
Some people urged marriage, and some people urged birth, and asked her if she was worried that she would not be able to give birth when she was too old, and she laughed back directly, "I should not have children at my age".
Now Charmaine Sheh has become one of the rich women who can earn 100 million a year in Hong Kong media, she invests in catering, real estate and **, and earns 200,000 yuan a month just by collecting rent.
She bought a house for her mother and for herself, and her financial independence and spiritual abundance made her live every day.
She has hundreds of millions of family properties, but she only lives in a simple and simple home every day.
The living room is not big, and there are no fancy furnishings, compared to other stars, it is simply ordinary and can't be more ordinary.
Because for Charmaine Sheh, she doesn't need those things in her life, and she doesn't need to rely on them to give her a sense of security.
Speaking of which, who is the "big heroine"?
These two words have been used so well in recent years that many people have no choice but to use their form but not to refine it.
The so-called big heroine must have a lot of rebellion in the first place, she has not accepted the fate of being defined and imprisoned in a "cage" as a canary, nor has she the wealth she is fighting for, there is no rarity, jealousy, and vassalization; The one who holds his destiny firmly in his own hands, and who others like to pick on thorns, will become too powerful for people to choose.
Be yourself, live a life that makes you comfortable, and as for what others think, just leave it to them.
In these aspects, no matter what point of view, Charmaine Sheh deserves the title of the big heroine.
