The first time I watched "Daming Palace Ci", I was always dazzled by the talented and beautiful women in the play.
Zhou Xun, innocent and smart; Chen Hong, noble and elegant.
Zhao Wenxuan, gentle and elegant, was mistaken for life at first sight.
At that time, my eyes were only on these young boys and girls in their prime.
ignored the other heroine in the play, Wu Zetian.
When she appeared, she was in the position of the queen, and her appearance was not young, but she had the bearing and elegance of a superior.
The maturity, ambition, majesty, etc., of women, are vividly displayed in her.
If you want to perform such a Wu Zetian, you can't just have a unique beauty, you must go through the tempering of the years and cultivate a calm heart.
It just so happened that at this time, Gui Yalei had been trekking in this world for fifty-five years, experiencing the joys and sorrows of the world, and also had a calm and unhurried attitude towards life.
Therefore, Gui Yalei has become a classic Wu Zetian.
Many people envy Wu Zetian in the play, who reached the peak of power and became a winner in life; But what everyone doesn't know is that Gui Yalei outside the play is the real winner in life.
Gui Yalei, how "cool" is this life?
To put it simply, it is a successful career and a happy love.
debuted at the age of 20 and exploded, debuted for 59 years, and won the Golden Horse Award 4 times.
Married to their first love at the age of 22, they have been in the same boat through thick and thin, and the two have been in love for 57 years.
Whether it is a career or a marriage, it is not easy to achieve her results in any of them.
There are very few people who can achieve such an achievement.
So return to Yalei, how can you have a double harvest in career and love? The story has to start from the beginning.
She was born in Hunan and moved to Taiwan with her family when she was 5 years old.
It seems, she is a good girl; In fact, since childhood, he has been an extremely creative person.
For example, acting is her own choice.
When she was 8 years old, she watched the Peking Opera "Yutang Chun" for the first time, and she touched the scene.
Since then, the seeds of acting have gradually sprouted in my heart.
Later, she was admitted to the Film and Drama Department of the National Art School.
After graduation, she failed to become a star as she wished, and in order to survive, she had to become an art teacher and a fiancé named Zhang Mengkui.
It seems that she will also be like many ordinary people, have an ordinary job, teach her husband and children, and spend her life in peace.
But she didn't want to.
She had a dream in her heart and dared to persevere, but she finally waited for the opportunity.
That year, Kaohsiung ran for Miss China, she tried decisively, but she didn't expect that because of her pure appearance and outstanding temperament, she won the championship in one fell swoop.
Because of this game, she also fell into Qiong Yao's eyes.
At that time, Qiong Yao was preparing to film "Misty and Rainy", and there was just a shortage of heroines.
When Qiong Yao saw Gui Yalei, she immediately felt that she was the best choice for the heroine.
In this way, Gui Yalei, who had just debuted, became "Lu Yiping".
Moreover, she won the Golden Horse Best Actress, and she was also the youngest Golden Horse Award actress in history at that time.
That year, she was 22 years old.
After her debut, many people may think that she is lucky, but in fact, there is no luck in life.
All good luck is nothing but hard work and perseverance.
If she forgot her dreams at that time, was content with the status quo, or couldn't resist the opposition of her fiancé, how could she win the actress?
At that time, she had the halo of Girl Joan and the youngest Golden Horse Award actress, and everyone thought that she would make great progress on the road of acting.
Surprisingly, she got married, married to her first love.
In fact, when she went to the crew of "Smoke and Rain" to audition, her fiancé was not very supportive, and in order to obtain the consent of the other party, she promised"After the performance Yiping, I will marry you".
After the play, no matter what the outcome, she kept her promise.
even, willing to take a break for the family for 2 years.
In order to make a comeback, she promised her husband:should not be paid, do not shoot excessively exposed shots, do not shoot kiss scenes, and do not give fans **.
Four years later, she relied on Feng Shuyuan in "Home in Taipei".At the same time, she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress and the Asia-Pacific Film Festival for Best Actress.
At that time, she created mostly a gentle and dignified female image, and she was a popular Joan girl.
It stands to reason that at this time, her career has been successful, but she is not lying on the credit book to live comfortably.
Instead, he chose to challenge himself to play other types of characters and explore other markets.
At the age of 32, she played the role of a high school mother.
is not the protagonist, the character is very ordinary, but she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress.
At the same time, she began to expand into the mainland market.
In 1993, Ang Lee invited Gui Yalei to star in the movie "The Wedding Banquet".
This is a gay-themed movie, she wears a cheongsam and behaves elegantly into the field of vision of mainland audiences.
With this play, she won the Golden Horse Award for Supporting Actress again.
Since then, she has also won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actress for "The Virgin Mary", and the Best Actress for "Spicy Mother-in-law" and other awards for the TV Drama Festival.
She became the majestic and solemn Wu Zetian in "Daming Palace Ci".
She is also the empathetic wife in "Orange is Red".
She is also the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Wang in the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Acting has become her lifelong career.
In 1994, Gui Yalei, who was 50 years old, was filming "Eating Men and Women".
There is a scene where she needs a ** suit, but she insists on wearing a petticoat.
For the sake of effect, the director did not agree with her doing this, and the situation reached an impasse.
She silently hid in the corner and wept.
After filming for decades, she has always followed the agreement with her husband at that time, and has never blamed him for not understanding herself.
Later, when the husband found out about this, he took the initiative to cancel the agreement.
In fact, her infatuation with acting has long moved her husband.
Gradually, Zhang Mengkui's initial dissupport turned into support, and even became her intimate assistant.
Every time she filmed, Zhang Mengkui would prepare a love lunch box for her in advance.
watched her practice dancing because of filming, on the one hand, she was distressed, and on the other hand, she secretly found a teacher for her to tutor.
Later, when she got older, even if she won many awards, in most cases, she could only play a supporting role in the play.
Her husband felt sorry for her and was afraid that she would be sad, so he persuaded her to stop.
But she doesn't care about this, as long as she can act.
Even if he is in his seventies, he is still active on the screen.
I once heard the saying:
As long as you are willing to work hard for one thing, the whole world will come to your aid. ”
I didn't quite understand it at the time, but because of Gui Yalei, I believe that there is some truth in this sentence.
She did live as a winner in life, but it wasn't just luck.
Rather, no matter when or where, she never gave up.
loves acting, even if her husband does not support her, she does not compromise, but strives for opportunities through communication;
If you want love, you won't snub your lover because of your career, and you won't compromise on what you promise him, even if it's what you need for acting.
She acted seriously, conquered the audience with her acting skills, and achieved success in her career;
She loves her husband with all her heart, impresses him with her true deeds and actions, makes him let go of his worries, and makes him willing to support herself.
In this way, there is an enviable double harvest of career and love.
Only she knows that behind the double harvest, it takes twice as much energy and time.
