mentions Hong Kong actresses, many names will flash in people's minds.
Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Jiaxin, Zhang Min...
are all peerless women who are all over the country.
Their every move, every frown and smile, are all confusing and dying.
But there is only one person, and they are just the opposite.
She is not a beauty, not a Hong Kong sister, or a model. Naturally, she cannot impress others with her beauty; however, she uses her own "ugliness" to let people know her and remember her.
She is called "female version of Zhou Xingchi"-she is Wu Junru.
Wu Junru’s father, Xia Chunqiu (stage name, natal Wu Yaodong), is a well-known TV host in Hong Kong. He has worked in Hong Kong TV for 50 years.
His hosting style is humorous, humorous, and the atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful, giving people a very close feeling. The audience kindly called him "Uncle Dong" .
Wu Junru when he was a child, although not the "beautiful female classmate" with long hair who studied ballet that all male students liked.
, but proud of her father's influence, is also a lively, cheerful, outgoing little girl.
Two girls are sitting together, one is quiet and the other is lively, she must be the one who has been talking.
When Wu Junru was 15 years old, her father studied fortune telling with a fortune teller.
One day, the fortune teller happened to come to Wu Junru's house and gave Wu Junru a fortune. The fortune-teller
said to her father: "Your daughter is very suitable for entering the entertainment industry, will be known by many people, and will be popular."
Dong feels that this may be a good one for Wu Junru, who is very active in life. select. When
was 16, Wu Junru became a student in the 12th session of the TVB Radio Television Artist Training Course.
Wu Junru's looks are not outstanding, so that her role is not outstanding.
In Tony Leung's version of "The Deer and Ding Ji", she is the most gentle and least talkative Zeng Rou around Wei Xiaobao;
is the dragon character Qiulan in "Battle of Xuanwumen";
participated in the movie "Dao Ma Dan" in Lin Qingxia In front of Ye Qianwen, and Zhong Chuhong, she only had less than one minute shots.
When Carina Lau, Tseng Huaqian, Lan Jieying and others have become the number one females and have continuous filming appointments during the same period, Wu Junru can only play a role as a dragon while being an entertainment host in "Happy Tonight." The huge psychological gap of
makes a girl less than 20 years old feel pressured.
Every day before going out to work, she shed tears.
But, wiping away the tears, she still smiled and moved on.
Only if you persevere will you have a chance of success.
In 1988, Wu Junru and Stephen Chow co-starred in TVB's humorous comedy "The Fighting Clan".
Through this play, Wu Junru's talent in comedy has been fully demonstrated.
This happened to be discovered by "ghost" Wang Jing and invited Wu Junru to star in the movie "Overlord Flower". In this film, Wu Junru relies on his own unique funny style and personal charm to make a marginal role in the film into the second female.
In the same year, she starred in Wang Jing's "Best Losing Friend".
In the "competition" with Andy Lau, Guan Zhilin, Qiu Shuzhen and other handsome men and beautiful women, Wu Junru attracted the audience's attention with his extremely high-contrast "ugly" image.
Her exaggerated "picking nose" action in the film has become a classic action in Hong Kong comedy movies.
, whether it is the "Overlord Flower" series after starring;
or many classic Hong Kong comedies co-operated with Stephen Chow;
Wu Junru appears in the image of fat, ugly, embarrassed and full of laughter.
Since then, Wu Junru has been labeled as a comedy actress and "ugly girl".
Wang Jing gave her a high evaluation, calling her "female version of Zhou Xingchi".
Wang Jing said: "There is no'New Wu Junru' in Hong Kong anymore. It is too difficult to meet such an actress who has completely forgotten her looks. Even Stephen Chow is looking for Li Jianren to dress up as a woman to'pick his nose'."
For young girls of the young age, there are many psychological barriers that need to be overcome to accept such things as being ugly. When
first debuted, the director criticized her for being "harlequin" not happy enough, saying that she could not act, she was particularly wronged;
when relatives and friends saw her "pick her nose" on the screen, she was not proud, only low self-esteem;
When Wang Jing asked her to "pick her nostrils" for the second time, she was unhappy. She felt that Wang Jing did not treat her as a girl.
She was wronged, helpless, and struggling.
Although she is not very beautiful, she is not ugly.
She also wants to be like other actresses, dressed beautifully, glamorous and dazzling in front of the audience.
She didn't understand why when her father was hosting the Mark Six lottery show, he was more excited than anyone else to win the prize.
She felt that her father's "Oh" sound was particularly false.
father told her: "The audience heard it, my voice of "Oh" is sincere. So my audience likes me and likes to watch my show. They are happy, and I am also happy. You are not happy, how can you perform well? Where's the harlequin?"
's father not only has no objection to her acting as a harlequin, but supports her and encourages her.
This inspired her.
She understands that she must show sincerity as a person, or she can't even laugh well.
If you want to play a good comedy, it is not the ability to tell jokes, but the key is to let go of yourself.
Wu Junru said: "I was forced to be a comedian, and I don’t have a natural comedy gene.
, but I am a lucky actor. because I didn’t think about going out to be a comedian, but I found out later. It’s also very good. I found myself able to go on."
put down his own Wu Junru. In the late 80s and early 90s, the sky was the golden age of Hong Kong movies. With this "sincerity" , "a ugly" In the end" has taken its place in the Hong Kong film scene.
At most, she picks up 6 films at the same time, rushes to 3 sets a day, and sometimes is so busy that she doesn't even have time to go home and take a shower.
, as a big coffee in Hong Kong comedy movies, she is often asked a question: What is the most important thing about acting in a comedy?
She said: "The night before, you must sleep well. It sounds like a joke, but in fact this is really the most important thing. Many problems in life at

finished, she couldn't help laughing happily.
Lively, cheerful, and pistachio-like Wu Junru, when filming "Overlord Flower", he met his first boyfriend, Du Dewei .
