About 4 years ago, Lu Yu was invited to a 5-story mansion in Kowloon City to visit Xiang Huaqiang, who is known as the "Hong Kong entertainment industry giant".
Affected by his personality, Xiang Huaqiang's body always reveals a strong aura that no stranger should enter. In this way, Lu Yu was extremely cautious throughout the entire recording of the program, sometimes even cautious.
does not have the relaxed and entertaining atmosphere of previous shows. This "Luyu appointment" about Xiang Huaqiang seems very serious and occasionally a little embarrassing.
In the process of recording the show, it is difficult for people to see emotions, topics or sadness or joy on Xiang Huaqiang's face. He always sits back on the sofa calmly.
"You like smart women, but you have to be beautiful, right?" Lu Yu asked.
When hearing this question, Xiang Huaqiang suddenly sat up straight. He thought for a while and said:
"That person will always get old. Just like when we were together for thirty years, she was beautiful when she was thin, and now she is fat and cute!" When
said this, The man who had been serious for nearly 5 hours suddenly gave everyone a bright smile.
And what he described, this "cute woman" is no one else, but the one called "Xiang Tai" by everyone, Chen Lan.
"She's OK, I just can't do without her, what do you think?"
has been a hero who has been saddened by Beauty Pass since ancient times. This sentence is very suitable for Xiang Huaqiang. Looking back on the past years, he is a hero, but Chen Lan is not a delicate beauty.
chivalrous and righteous, she is a child of the world in this era.
In 1980, Xiang Huaqiang, who was just a poor boy, and his younger brother Xiang Huasheng had just arrived in Taiwan when they met Chen Lan, who was known as the "first beautiful model" at the time.
Chen Lan was just 21 years old at the time, with bright eyes, white teeth and extraordinary appearance. Anyone who saw her would be happy to look at her. Among them, the most strenuous one was Xiang Huaqiang, who fell in love with her at first sight.
It is said that "chasing Chen Lan" was a fashion at the time, but all the sons who were a little capable at home liked to get close to her. Houses, tickets, cars, as long as Miss Chen likes them, they will give them all.
According to this script setting, the great beauty Chen Lan should have married into a wealthy family, and began her golden life in power.
But in fact, she is not an ordinary woman willing to be just an expensive wife.

One day, Chen Lan was invited to a gathering of friends. Because she was used to seeing the noise of sensual dogs and horses before, the unruly and unruly children of the rich family at the meeting could no longer stir any waves in her heart.
She sat aside and looked at the crowd holding a wine glass. She wanted to wait a while before taking the opportunity to slip away, but Xiang Huaqiang walked into her sight at this moment.
"He is the only one who makes my heart beat."
"I never dared to look at someone before, but I will do to him. From that moment on, I knew that I was over."
, Jialang missed his life at first sight.
Just because of this look, Chen Lan discarded the perfect life script handed by God before, and turned and plunged into Xiang Huaqiang's embrace.
is different from Mr. Xiang, who is now influential. At that time, Xiang Huaqiang was experiencing the "black moment" of Hong Kong films. The rapid and substantial shrinkage of the market caused countless enthusiastic filmmakers to dream of breaking the East overnight.
For the Xiang brothers who had been in the heyday before, such a blow was undoubtedly fatal.
After the frustration, Xiang Huasheng was discouraged and turned away with anguish. Brother Duliu, Xiang Huaqiang, alone guarded the mess after the feast. Although
is desperate, Xiang Huaqiang still has great expectations for the mainland film market.
However, a single tree cannot become a forest. Just when he had a headache when he was withdrawing from his fellow brother halfway, Chen Lan, his wife, gave him a reassurance.
"We have always been like this. He rushed forward. I knew I would crash into the south wall, but I would still accompany him." After
officially became "Xiang Tai", Chen Lan was determined to be the first The thing is to save the first pot of gold for Xiang Huaqiang.
In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, the “Taiwan’s No. 1 Beauty” who used to buy things without even looking at the price turned into a thrifty housekeeper. She loved beauty and did not buy clothes for two years.
For making money, the first method Chen Lan thought of was to do business. With previous experience, Chen Lan opened her own clothing store.
From boss to model, from sales to purchase, in order to save money for hiring workers, she alone took over all the work in the store. Even during pregnancy and childbirth, she would go to the wholesale market to purchase and move alone. goods.
In order to complete her husband's movie dream as soon as possible, Chen Lan accompanied Xiang Huaqiang not to eat or wear. But even though the two have worked so hard, the pot of gold is always filled with dissatisfaction.
Chen Lan was puzzled by this, and it was not until that day that she discovered that she was borrowing money from Huaqiang, that she suddenly realized.
People are in the arena, and the word "righteousness" takes the lead. Affected by this, Xiang Huaqiang always refuses others' requests.
As Mrs Xiang, Chen Lan unconditionally supports all her husband's decisions, but when she finds that some people are beginning to take advantage of it, she finally can't sit still.
One day, after Xiang Huaqiang sent away a friend who came to seek help, Chen Lan said to him:
"We can no longer be good people. For those richer than us, you have to learn to refuse."
In the face of outsiders, she gave her full face to her husband and gave her full support for all decisions facing him. But when the crowd disperses, she still chooses to put the doubts and differences in her heart out to prevent her lover from making mistakes again and again.
Standing next to Xiang Huaqiang, Chen Lan never lacked the courage to be desperate for her husband, but she never let herself fall into the dilemma of being blind for love.
helps the eldest brother grow a face and give himself a face. This is how
Xiang Tai is made.
In 1992, China Star Entertainment Group was formally established, and it was officially registered and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange 4 years later. From that moment on, the Xiangs and his wife ushered in the bright moments of their lives.
They officially started the golden years of Hong Kong movies. In order to fully capture the appetite of the audience during the production of the movie, Xiang Huaqiang edited the same movie twice each time. After the first editing of
, he will show the movie to a small group of people. During the process, he would sit in the auditorium and carefully record every reaction of the audience.
laughs, tears, and troughs. When all these are noted down, he will edit the movie for the second time, so as to make every movie produced by "China Star" brilliant.
And every time the "produced by Xiang Huaqiang" and "produced by Chen Mingying (original name Chen Lan)" appeared in the movie title, they also became the quality assurance in the film market in that era.

During those years, the Xiang family produced many classic Hong Kong films such as "Gamblers" series, "Slimming Men and Women", "Hedong Lion Roar", "Zhong Wuyan" and so on.
From now on, everyone Daoxiang is tenacious and courageous, and it will be a great event, but Xiang Huaqiang said that he has to thank his wife Chen Lan for everything he got today.
"My wife is a goddess, and everything can be done. It is my blessing to marry her."
Xiang Huaqiang's biological mother is his father's four-bedroom wife. Because of her cowardly nature and ignorance of competition, she became the most humble concubine in the family, and her son became the least favored of 13 children.
For this reason, Xiang Huaqiang has been ostracized and blinded since he was a child. Since then, he has vowed that he must marry a powerful housekeeper when he grows up.
Unsurprisingly, "Xiang Tai" Chen Lan met all his requirements.
Xiang Huaqiang and his friend Chen Lanqingsheng
are different from those who are now in the entertainment circle. Chen Lan in his childhood is more like a little cabbage swaying in the wind and rain, poor but never loved.
When she was 6 years old, Chen Lan was diagnosed with leukemia. Although she was lucky enough to find a compatible bone marrow transplant and escaped, her life did not stop her.
Because of her mother's addiction to gambling, her family owed huge debts. At the age of 18, Chen Lan was defrauded to be sold to a karaoke bar to accompany her to drink. After a little resistance, her mother and father knelt down and pleaded.
"I don't understand, how could anyone in this world be parents like this?" Today, Chen Lan still feels helpless and puzzled when talking about this past.
Because of the incompetence of his parents, Chen Lan had to give up the opportunity to go to college and went to the society alone to work hard. No background and no money, Chen LanIn the bustling metropolis, I saw the ugliest dark side. When
was forced into desperation, Chen Lan also had several radical acts of suicide, but in the process of being rescued again and again, she also felt the long-lost warmth in it.
At that moment, Chen Lan suddenly understood that his birth was given by God, but his fate was his own. In desperate situations, he must know how to help himself.
"From then on, I am not afraid of anything." If
is not afraid of death, is it still alive?
People floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not get a knife? It's just that after the bloody storm, you must know how to save yourself. When
mentions "Xiang Tai" in the entertainment industry, people's first reaction must be the word "yi".
Because of his ancestral home in Harbin, Chen Lan always maintains the heartiness and uprightness of the Northeast girl in his bones. During the establishment of "China Star",
Xiang Huaqiang, who was not good at words, often asked his wife to help with some interpersonal matters.
In the early 1990s, Xiang Huaqiang wanted to invite Jet Li to come to film.
Jet Li was already popular all over the country because of "Shaolin Temple", but "China Star" was just a little-known film and television company in the entrepreneurial stage.
Because of the huge disparity in the strength and status of the two in the movie circle, Chen Lan never saw Jet Li.
"It was really difficult at that time, but my husband said I could, then I can only show it to him!"
Xiang Huaqiang's family
In order to live up to Huaqiang's expectations, Chen Lan resorted to everything. For half a year, she mobilized all available interpersonal relationships in Hong Kong and tried all the ways to meet Jet Li, but she never found anything. When
was unable to do anything like this, the Kung Fu superstar who had always been "invisible" appeared on his own. Before that, he had been investigating Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan for several months.
"I believe that you are a human being, and the salary is not discussed, and the profit is half of us." The children of
are bold. In this way,
Xiang's couple and Jet Li began their cooperation for nearly 30 years.
"Too" Chen Lan and Jet Li
during the filming of "Huang Feihong", Jet Li was dissatisfied with the film party's arrears of wages and clashed with the boss of Jiahe. Shortly after the final film of the series was completed, Jet Li's agent, Cai Ziming, died in an "accidental" manner.
Because of the strangeness of the incident, Jet Li had a lingering fear, Chen Lan took the initiative to come forward at this time, not only to help him out of the difficult situation, but also to help his family.
After this incident, they are both colleagues and close friends.
is in the complex entertainment industry, although outsiders have a lot of speculation about their relationship, and even more criticism. But no matter how much the outside world talks about, they are always close.
To this day, Xiang’s family still retains a Jetty Jet’s bedroom, and Jet Li will often go to Xiangzhai for a few days.
This is habit and trust.
Around 1995, the Tianmu film and television company founded by Andy Lau fell into bankruptcy because it was unable to make ends meet. At this time, the boss "Liu Tianwang" was also sent to court by his partner.
Seeing his friend so desperate, Chen Landang even put out tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to help him out. Later, Andy Lau wanted to write an IOU to repay the debt, but Xiang Tai refused on the spot:
"I think this is the trust between people. He believes in me and I believe in him, it seems that the relationship between the two is particularly different."
The Xiang family became Andy Lau's "the only, forever, and best boss in this life", and Chen Lan also became the representative of the word "righteousness" in the entertainment circle.
"Xiang Tai" Chen Lan and Andy Lau
Anita Mui were besieged and scolded for refusing to accompany wine and singing. In a panic, she dialed Xiangtai's number. After
got the news, Chen Lan immediately started the car and rushed to the troubled bar alone. Because he had been helped by Xiang Huaqiang, the other party did not embarrass Xiangtai, and after a simple greeting, they let them go.
, but only a few days later, the original troublemaker was chopped and sent to the hospital. Some people suspected that it was Mui Yanfang who threatened to "torn a tooth for a tooth". In the end, Xiang Tai came forward to solve the misunderstanding and solve the confusion.
Before this, the world thought that the rivers and lakes could only be rushed through the state by men, and among them, there must be only the shadow of the sword and the bloody wind. But Chen Lan used practical actionsTell everyone:
has never had more than one appearance.
is known as the "first lady" in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, and Xiang Tai has never lacked a strong and neat "sa" gas.
scolded Huang Yiqing, tore Zhang Xinyu, bombarded Zhang Weiping, and never absent from "justice" Chen Lan;
held Hong Zhou Runfa, rescued Liu Jialing, helped Liu Qingyun, and gave charcoal to Chen Lanxue in the plight.
In the entertainment industry, everyone wants to live in the same way and be independent, but prefers to be outspoken and act bravely.
roared when the road saw the injustice, and shot when it was time to do it. This is the bravery and loyalty of the children of the world.
Cecilia Cheung was banned in Hong Kong because her father owed a huge debt. Chen Lan liked her cleverness and simplicity, and she was the first to stand up for her to pay off her debts, and she also won her the title of "the head of the lady". position.
Later, Cecilia Cheung was unable to extricate herself from her career due to her indulging in love, and Chen Lan let go after repeated dissuasion, and vowed not to cooperate with him forever, and the two will never interact with each other.
No doubt about employing people, and when it is broken, it is broken. This is the wisdom and freedom of the children of the world.
A few years ago, her husband Xiang Huaqiang was pushed to the forefront again for an article entitled "Why So Many People Hate Stephen Chow" and was caught in a public opinion attack.
Seeing this, as his wife, Chen Lan posted several Weibo in a row, "chasing and killing" the rumors and troublemakers in public, frightening most of the entertainment circles to stand in line.
Other people are annoyed that she is domineering and unreasonable, but she said:
"You can say anything to me, but you can't call my husband!"
I remember that Xiang Huaqiang made a promise to Chen Lan when he married Chen Lan, and that he must be a boss who does not share rumors with anyone. When
said this, Xiang Huaqiang was still worried, but thirty years later, he really did it-in the Hong Kong entertainment circle where paparazzi is almost omnipotent, no one has ever photographed Xiang Huaqiang’s Any gossip.
"I don't think I'm in vain for this life, and I didn't marry the wrong person."
When Chen Lan said this, her eyes were full of smiles, just like the day the two met.
has worked hand in hand for more than 30 years, Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan are in love as ever. Everyone says "Xiang Tai" has a tough wrist, but she said that her only "weapon" is a sincere heart.
If he loses, he will make a comeback with him; if he wins, he will rule the world with him. In times of adversity, she knows how to be strong for love, and in private she knows to show weakness for her husband.
This is the technique of "training husbands", but also the wisdom of women.
So, instead of saying that Chen Lan lives in the chaotic entertainment industry, it is better to say that she has always lived in the arena.
has distinct loves and hatreds, daring to love and hate, generosity and righteousness, and grudges will be reported. Every move of this "sturdy woman" reveals a savage gratitude.
For sixty years in her life, Chen Lan has seen the desperate situation of big winds and waves, and also experienced the joy of suffering.
How many people have admired her appearance when she was young, but when her youth is gone, her enthusiasm and heroism are also loved by every means.
What is a real "big woman"?
is standing beside Mr. Xiang, she is the omnipotent "Xiang Tai".
Even if she leaves Xiang Huaqiang, she can still write the legendary life of a heroine.
