Recently, Gillian has received a wave of new attention because she spent Valentine's Day with female internet celebrity Huangfu Shenghua.
However, the public is obviously quite confused about her suspected relationship - the two have been "scandalous" for a long time, and they were photographed kissing in the street as early as June last year.
In particular, Huangfu Shenghua is somewhat similar to Edison Chen, which makes this relationship even more confusing and not unreasonable.
Among them, the 43-year-old Gillian is very intriguing - after all, in the hearts of many fans, she is the "white moonlight" that God loves to eat, and the last generation of "beautiful girls" brought to the public by Hong Kong circles...
And deeply Throughout her journey along the way, you will find that there are traces of everything.
. A girl with low self-esteem breaks into the entertainment industry
Gillian's original name was Chung Dishan. She was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong in 1981. However, her father died unexpectedly when she was just over 1 year old, causing her childhood to be displaced.
At that time, Zhong’s mother was only 19 years old and had no way to support the life of mother and daughter, so she had to remarry.
Gillian was fostered in various relatives' homes. When she was in kindergarten, she had to change schools frequently because she had no fixed place to live. Therefore, she felt insecure and had low self-esteem at a young age.
At the age of 12, her mother remarried, and Gillian lacked maternal love even more. However, she was stubborn by nature. Since then, she has not participated in her mother's new home, but wandered alone.
Because of her beauty, she began to work part-time as a model when she grew up. Therefore, she was selected by the Emperor at the age of 19 and met the lively and playful "sister" Asa.
In 2001, after sufficient training, they formed the "twins" group and successfully debuted.
During this period, the two girls met the artist Edison Chen, who was also the emperor, but their relationship with him was completely opposite.
years later, Gillian's career fell to the bottom due to the pornographic photo incident with Edison Chen; while Asa publicly said in an interview that she was not familiar with him.
In fact, a year before her debut, 19-year-old Gillian began a secret love affair with Edison Chen.
She became famous overnight after her debut the following year, and the man made fun of her when he was asked about her in an interview.
Edison Chen, who is one year older than Gillian, is the son of a wealthy man. His father, Chen Zemin, is a well-known wealthy businessman and is also well-connected in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, when he debuted in 2000, his first movie appearance was "The New Man 2" directed by Chen Musheng, and he played the leading role.
On the other hand, despite the emergence of popular singers such as Stefanie Sun, Jay Chou, and s.h.e., Twins still gained attention when they debuted. The following year, they became a hit with the song "Love Is Too Big".
At that time, everyone loved this pair of pure and energetic sisters, especially Gillian's appearance, which was rated as amazing by the outside world, even among many female artists, she was considered to be at the top level.
At this time, Lai Hongguo and Huangfu Shenghua, who were also born in 1989, were both young and transparent people who had not yet "debuted".
The former was born in a well-off family in Taiwan. His mother is a doctor, which laid the foundation for him to become a plastic surgeon in the future.
The latter was born into a wealthy family in Shanghai. It is said that his grandfather was a famous entrepreneur and his grandmother was also wealthy, so Huangfu Shenghua was a typical "rich third generation".
It’s just that they were too young at the time and had no idea that they would be “entangled” with Hong Kong female artist Gillian in their future lives.
2. She is extremely talented and has countless peach blossoms.
Although Gillian comes from a modest family and has not received professional performance training, she is extremely talented. It can be said that "God rewards her with food".
Soon after her debut, she entered the film and television industry with her partner Asa. Especially in 2004, she was nominated for the Golden Bauhinia Award for "Best Actress" for the drama film "The Princess' Revenge".
Although the introverted and sensitive Gillian seems not to be as popular with the public compared to the cheerful and lovable Ahsa, the public still quite recognizes this beautiful "sister next door".
In addition to film and television, the two sisters have also continued to come up with hit songs, such as "Apprentice Love God" and "Next Stop Queen", etc., gradually establishing a firm foothold in the pop music world.
However, during this period, Gillian was also called the new generation of "scandal queen" by the outside world because of her scandals with male artists such as Shawn Yue, Huang Younan, and Wu Kequn.
In 2002, she met Shawn Yue, whose career was also on the rise, while filming "Yi Lu Cane". The man was very interested in her and pursued her hard. He often gave her small gifts and created small surprises to please her.
But because Gillian’s real underground boyfriend at that time was Edison Chen, word of Shawn Yue’s pursuit reached his ears, and there were rumors that the two men fell out and got into a fight over it.
Therefore, her relationship with Edison Chen developed a rift in 2003. They broke up briefly, then reunited, and ended completely in 2005.
After that, Gillian had "sparks" with Jackie Chan's son Fang Zuming, new actor Alex Fong and others because of cooperation.
Although scandals often dominated the entertainment headlines at the time, Gillian's career ambitions were not lost at all:
Her and Asa's commercial value has been rising. In addition to music and film, there are also announcements for variety shows, advertisements, concerts, etc. And constant facial recognition has made them become a new generation of idols.
In particular, Gillian's development is obviously more outstanding - she began to transform into a "beating girl" in 2005, and has successively released new films such as "Fist of Fury" and "The Insect".
The following year, she joined the crew of the TV series "Snowy Mountain Flying Fox" and played the role of Cheng Lingsu, a "beautiful girl" with a good personality.
This role established her later personality to some extent: she also became the last generation of "beauties" in Hong Kong.
In private, Gillian has never let up in her pursuit of love:
She fell into a "five-corner love" with actor Nie Yuan during the filming of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox";
It was immediately revealed that she was in love with Lin Xiaoxian, the eldest son of wealthy businessman Lin Jianyue. , and there was a "situation" with Gu Dingming, the son of a wealthy businessman worth 1.5 billion.
But after going around and around, it seems that the actor Mai Junlong, who was born in a wealthy family, almost became her "right man" - the two were rumored to be in a relationship while filming the movie "Broken Things".
What is even more intriguing is that this work brings together three "scandalous boyfriends", Edison Chen, Shawn Yue and Junlong Mak - this plot would cause a sensation even now...
3. Bravely pursue love, but repeatedly " "Roll over"?
2008 can be said to be the year that changed Gillian’s life.
html On January 5, she also took a photo with Alex Fong at a charity performance, and the gossip media continued to report endlessly on the rumored couple.
Just 21 days later, Edison Chen's "Yan Zhaomen" completely broke out due to the loss of his computer.
This incident not only reduced his predecessor Gillian from a "beautiful girl" to a "dang wife", but also put Cecilia Cheung and other married actresses into dire straits.
At that time, Gillian had just finished filming Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang", but the film was cut.
Faced with the pursuit of reporters, she became the first female artist to come forward to respond to the public. She said "very silly and naive" in a poignant way, and also broke the public's previous filters for her.
But Gillian also had a "careless" male companion around her at the time - Mak Junlong once promised that he would spend 100 million to buy the remaining 14 years of her contract with Emperor.
The two were in love for a while, but eventually broke up.
In the same year, her rumored future girlfriend Huangfu Shenghua also made her debut - it is reported that she studied in Qingdao in her early years and was later admitted to the Beijing Institute of Modern Music to study Korean dance.
Later, Huangfu Shenghua accidentally uploaded photos of himself dressed in hip-hop to the Internet, attracting attention from the outside world and earning the label "Female Edison Chen." On
's 19th birthday, she signed a high-profile contract with Beijing Feiyang Yudrop and officially entered the music scene.
Gillian officially made a comeback in 2009, released her personal EP, and starred in the movie "Previous", which received a good response, but it seems that she has been unable to continue her previous peak.
Two years later, she won the Huading Award for "Best Actress in the Legend Category" for the TV series "The Legend of Nuwa", but her popularity with the public was not as good as before.
Huangfu Shenghua, on the other side, is thriving in the Internet celebrity circle. During this period, he also appeared on talk shows, filmed digital movies, and released solo singles, but none of them became popular.
However, she became the first generation Internet celebrity of MCC celebrity hall, and like other Internet celebrities, she runs her own trendy brand store.
According to online rumors, his net worth was once as high as 4 billion. Although it is impossible to judge whether it is true or not, judging from his daily luxurious life, his net worth is indeed quite high.
However, it is said that Huangfu Shenghua is famous because of her "swagger" and many netizens revealed that when she was studying in Qingdao, she was just an ordinary little girl who played sports and she was "suspected of plastic surgery."
The whistleblower also claimed that Huangfu Shenghua’s father actually opened an Internet cafe in Shanghai, and his family background was not at all the 4 billion that was exposed online.
As for Gillian, various scandals are still going on. Even her manager Huo Wenxi said helplessly:
"I would advise Gillian not to be too enthusiastic about the opposite sex, but to restrain herself and not cause misunderstandings."
Later, she finally stabilized and had a relationship with Korean-American Quan Ningyi, but they broke up after only 10 months.
After that, Gillian "stopped" for a long time. Her performance in "The Secret History of Wu Zetian" was nominated for the Huading Award for Best Actress, but her popularity was average.
Her resources are still online, and she has appeared in film works such as "Romantic Demise" and "Beijing 81 No. 2".
When Gillian's emotional world was dull, Huangfu Shenghua and his internet celebrity girlfriend Xu Wen of the same age were harvesting a large number of CP fans.
It is reported that the woman has a good family background, and the two often attract the attention of netizens for showing affection when they are together.
However, in 2013, Huangfu Shenghua suddenly had an affair with actress Guo Biting. At that time, Guo also praised her for "looking like Edison Chen".
This move directly provoked Xu Wen to post angrily: "I quit, you guys play slowly." It seemed that the other half of the concubine was flirting, and even blocked the other party in anger.
But the two did not really break up at that time. As Huangfu Shenghua and Guo Biting settled down, they got back together again.
In 2015, Myolie Wu got married, and she even brought her girlfriend to the scene to bless her.
But a few years later, Huangfu Shenghua was involved in an affair with actress Li Ruixi.
At that time, the two were photographed on a date on a yacht, and Li Ruixi's English name Nikki was written on it, so it was regarded by the outside world as a gift specially prepared for her by the other party.
In the same year, Gillian married Taiwanese medical aesthetician Lai Hongguo, which attracted the attention of countless netizens.
But this is not the man’s first marriage. Two years ago, he had a brief marriage with Zhao Xiaowei, who looked exactly like Lin Yichen.
The marriage between Lai Hongguo and Gillian only lasted less than three years before falling apart.
After that, she was on the hot search for talking about "relationships" every now and then. One moment she said she would never fall in love, and the next she said she would never get married again...
Until June last year, she was photographed with a woman 8 years younger than herself. The female Internet celebrity Huangfu Shenghua kissed her face in the street, and then the scandal was exposed.
At that time, everyone thought that the two might be just tipsy or just close friends, but no one expected that half a year later they would spend Valentine's Day together in a high-profile way.
Before this, Gillian had clarified their relationship, saying they were "just friends."
But the attitude of netizens is: If you are so close to a female friend, it is impossible not to fall in love...
Some people also said: "So what? Just be happy!"
Maybe this is the case, looking at it In the 23 years that Gillian has been in the entertainment industry, she has experienced everything she deserves and what she deserves to lose. What she needs more now is really just happiness.
Just looking back at her extremely talented career as an artist, I can't help but feel it's a pity.
