Recently, during an interview, 50-year-old actress He Chaoyi suddenly and rarely talked about the inheritance arrangement after her father's death. When asked by the host, she directly said: There is not 20 billion, which is far worse than her sister and brother...

Despite this, However, she has a very good mentality, saying bluntly, "I have not made much contribution to the family business, so I have a balanced mentality."

Indeed, as the favorite daughter of gambling king Stanley Ho in the eyes of the outside world, Ho Chaoyi has taken a completely opposite path to that of the upper-class socialite.

Not only that, she also deviated from tradition and filmed large-scale scenes. When she was young, she even revealed that she changed boyfriends every year, which made the outside world call it an "accident."

until he met Chen Zicong, a male artist known as the "Hong Kong version of Kimura", the two started a high-profile love affair that was not in the right family, and then successfully entered into marriage, until today 20 years later.

But few people know that this move of He Chaoyi is extremely risky - after all, as the daughter of the family, she not only ignored her parents' objections to enter the entertainment industry, but also refused to marry into a wealthy family. She can be regarded as a benchmark figure in the celebrity circle.

So now 20 years have passed, has the rebellious He Chaoyi gotten everything he wanted?

1. The favorite daughter of the "King of Gambling"

In 1974, He Chaoyi was born in the family of the "King of Gambling". She was the fourth daughter born to the second wife Lan Qiongying. Before that, she had given birth to three children, He Chaoqiong, He Chaofeng and He Chaoyi. daughter, and three years later gave birth to his only son, He Youlong.

In addition to his mother Lan Qiongying, his father also has his eldest wife Li Wanhua, who also gave birth to children He Chaoying, He Chaoxian, He Youguang and He Chaoxiong respectively.

But among these many children, He Chaoyi is the most loved by his father.

Perhaps in addition to its own reasons, this is also related to her mother Lan Qiongying.

Lan Qiongying’s own family of origin is quite similar to that of Stanley Ho. They both belong to the category of “born into a wealthy family but suffered family decline.”

She is a typical "general's daughter". She has lived a life of fine clothing and fine food since she was a child, and was well-educated by her parents. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so both her temperament and trump card are better than those of the third wife Chen Wanzhen behind her. , Si Tailiang Anqi is not even a little bit higher.

However, due to the poor social environment at that time, Lan Qiongying's family fell into decline and she was gradually reduced to working outside the home to support her family.

However, she had a strong nature and wanted to change her destiny by making friends with celebrities, so she met Stanley Ho at a cocktail party.

Lan Qiongying was only 14 years old at the time, but with her ladylike temperament, the future "gambling king" fell in love with her at first sight. After that, she successfully entered the industry, but she was never recognized.

has been unknown to the outside world for 10 years.

But as time went by, Stanley Ho gradually began to take his second wife to attend various social occasions - which also laid the foundation for her to fight for the interests of her children in the future.

And Lan Qiongying is indeed very skillful. In the future, her eldest daughter He Chaoqiong will become recognized as the "new generation leader".

However, gaining means losing on the other side. Therefore, He Chaoqiong had no choice but to give up the love of her heart, Chen Baiqiang, and reluctantly married Xu Jinheng, a rich man, and ended up getting divorced.

Perhaps living in this "shadow" since she was a child has made her sister He Chaoyi have different choices in life.

After she grew up and entered the industry, she revealed that she was not happy when she was a child. She was extremely lonely because she was very different in age from her three sisters and her younger brother was unwilling to play with her.

Coupled with her prominent status, He Chaoyi was not welcomed in kindergarten and was even bullied in public. She attributed everything to the "innate package".

So she looks very different in the "Gambling King" family.

She feels that the world of rich people is too boring. Instead, she likes to attend various gatherings in the entertainment industry with her eldest sister He Chaoqiong, who is 12 years older than herself.

Perhaps it is because of this unique personality that surprises his father Stanley Ho. He likes his daughter's pursuit of independence and freedom and feels that she is similar to himself in his younger days.

Therefore, the outside world labels He Chaoyi as the "Emperor's Daughter", which means that this girl wants to get wind and rain, and is loved by her father.

But even so, He Chaoyi seems not satisfied and becomes more and more rebellious.

2. The earliest “resource cafe” in Hong Kong?

In 1988, yearning for freedom, she asked to study abroad, and was then arranged to attend Canada's top Ridley Middle School.

Here, He Chaoyi experienced the taste of poverty for the first time, and even worked everywhere to make a living.

However, because she was no longer bound by her family, she experienced a sweet first love at school at the age of 14, and the other person pursued her on her own.

After a long time after she entered the industry, she did not hide her experience when talking about it, but said openly: "I had my first kiss and everything, and I am very satisfied."

However, this relationship naturally ended with He Chaoyi graduating from high school and returning to China. Let it go.

According to her revelation, after that, she basically changed boyfriends every year, and her love life was very lively.

In addition, she did not continue studying. Instead, she proposed to enter the entertainment industry, but she was strongly opposed by her mother, and even her eldest sister He Chaoqiong did not support it.

But at this time, it was her father's support that made He Chaoyi's wish come true.

Stanley Ho said this: "Chaoyi's love for acting is exactly the same as my love for business war. She is the most like me."

So in 1992, under the recommendation of Jackie Chan, she signed a contract with Rolling Stone Records and immediately became Li Zongsheng's "disciples" received two years of training.

Because of this, He Chaoyi became the only one among the 17 children of the gambling king who did not go to college, and was ridiculed by the crowd.

In 1994, she officially debuted as a singer, but despite being a "proud girl of heaven", her development was not smooth. Famous bosses such as Li Zongsheng and Chen Jiaying who signed contracts with

did not put more thought into creating her, so in the next five years, He Chaoyi did not get the opportunity to make a film.

In the eyes of the audience, she is also a representative figure of "Pin Dad", so the media reports always add the prefix "The Gambling King's Daughter", which once made He Chaoyi very dissatisfied.

In addition, at that time, Hong Kong and Taiwan were dominated by "beautiful girls", but the alternative Ho Chaoyi preferred rock and jazz, which was a niche genre, so there was no market for her.

At this stage, He Chaoyi was very unhappy. In addition to the unsatisfactory career development, her mother began to persuade her to return to Canada to study, and admitted that her education method was wrong, resulting in her daughter's character not suitable for the entertainment industry where the jungle is strong.

But she was extremely persistent and had no idea of ​​wavering or giving up, even though in the eyes of the outside world, she was just a "rich girl who came to play for fun".

In fact, looking back at his work in acting now, he should be underestimated.

's singing career was not recognized by the public, so He Chaoyi turned to the film and television industry. In 1995, she starred in "The Day Without a Husband" and transformed into an actress.

After that, she continued to play roles, and never set limits for herself. She also followed a niche route:

has acted in roles from a primary school girl to a young and charming girl, to a prostitute, a lesbian, and even a taiwanese. Many large-scale scenes were staged...

Therefore, He Chaoyi was labeled as the "most rebellious socialite" by the outside world.

But few people actually count it. Since 1999, she has been nominated for the Golden Horse and Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress many times, and she has also won the "Queen of Best Actress" several times.

Although there are still many voices of doubt from the outside world, perhaps it is no longer so important to He Chaoyi.

In 2003, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Academy Awards for her film "Pride". The organizers also specially invited Stanley Ho as the award guest.

The "gambling king" joked with a smile: "If my daughter wins the prize, she will be upset."

As a result, when the envelope was opened, it turned out to be her, and the Academy Award's award speech to her was: "This is what Chaoyi Ho earned with her hard work" - which proved her true strength.

3. The chic road of the "rich scoundrel"

In the same year that she won the award, Ho Chaoyi and her boyfriend Chen Zicong, who had been together for one year, got married in a high-profile manner.

The man is 2 years older than her, and his family background is also extraordinary. His mother is the daughter of the Taiping Group, and his father is a well-known local accountant. However, compared to the "Gambling King" family, his wealth is not comparable.

Chen Zicong has lived in Australia since he was a child. He returned to Hong Kong, China, at the age of 20 to develop. Because he looked like Japanese superstar Takuya Kimura, he successfully entered the modeling circle. A few years later, he also transformed into an actor.

In 1998, he began to attract attention from the industry because he played a small role in the film "Kill, Dance," directed and starred by Donnie Yen.

The following year, Chen Zicong met He Chaoyi again at a private ski party organized by the rich second generation.

Because he has lived abroad for a long time and has superb skiing skills, it is no surprise that he attracted the deviant "emperor's daughter".

With in-depth communication, the two people gradually discovered that they were very similar to each other - they both grew up in wealthy families, but they lacked love since childhood, they were also bohemian, and they did not want to compete for family property as their life goal...

However, they did not fall in love immediately. The man's reason is simple: he dare not pursue the daughter of a gambling king easily.

And He Chaoyi also has troubles there - it is reported that in 2000, her father proposed to let her get married, but they were rejected.

During this period, her relationship with Chen Zicong became closer and closer.

As the relationship deepened, the man gradually discovered the "pity" of He Chaoyi: "She had nothing but money, so she put aside her background to pursue her."

Finally, the two established a relationship in 2002, and they became consummated the following year.

In order to marry He Chaoyi, the husband’s family spent tens of millions to hold two banquets in Australia and Hong Kong, China, to entertain guests.

The gambling king also presented a luxurious villa and a dowry of more than 2,000 million. At the same time, he said to his son-in-law in a joking tone at the wedding:

"You marry my daughter Chaoyi today. In the future, you must remember the three obediences and the four virtues!"

And everyone thought that after getting married, He Chaoyi would return to the ranks of "rich ladies" and go home to wash her hands and make soup.

However, she produced another lesbian film "Butterfly" the year after her marriage, but due to the subject matter, she had no reputation.

A few years later, Ho Chaoyi's acting career still seemed tepid because it was "too niche".

Chen Zicong formed a band called alive with Daniel Wu, Yin Ziwei and others in 2005, but it didn't make any splash in the end.

Three years later, the couple changed their routine: they spent 100 million to establish a film production company.

Immediately afterwards, the woman was shortlisted for the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards for her "groundbreaking work" "Victoria No. 1", and also won the "Best Actress" trophy of the Spanish International Film.

This is also a restricted work, but the social problems it reflects are profound and popular.

But what the media and the public are more concerned about is still He Chaoyi's marriage. Everyone says that her husband Chen Zicong "marries well" and they always want to see the excitement of the "rich scoundrel".

At that time, the two people often made headlines with topics such as "quarreling in the street" and "the man picking up the girl". He Chaoyi's approach was to attack hard and directly shouted:

"Ladies who want to flirt with my husband, please be careful: don't be a tiger again." Fight lice!"

In 2016, Chen Zicong suffered from liver cirrhosis and proctitis, which caused him to lose weight. His appearance also declined for a time, and he lost the charm of the "Hong Kong version of Kimura".

However, the relationship between the couple seems to be getting closer. When Ho Chaoyi received the "Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hawaii Film Festival", she specifically mentioned:

"Thanks to my husband, without him, I can't do anything..." ”

Now he is joking about the property he was assigned on the show, and He Chaoyi looks even more relaxed.

is constantly emphasized as a "rich girl" by the outside world. Although her life model has nothing to learn from, it is so wanton and joyful that one has to say with emotion: The martyr girl is so sassy!
