would like to know what Hong Kong goddesses experienced in the 1980s?
That was the golden age of Hong Kong action movies, from directors and actors to dragon and tiger martial artists, who has not tried to hand over their lives to movies?
This iron storm, a goddess will not let go.
Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong, Guan Zhilin, Anita Mui
01
Maggie Cheung & Brigitte Lin
Most of the Hong Kong movie goddesses were abused, all thanks to one person.
Our big brother Jackie Chan!
It is said that in 1985, Jackie Chan just completed one of his most hated works in his life: the American film "Vice Dragon". The degree of unpleasantness of
working with Hollywood directors made him confess to his boss that if the director does not leave, he will leave—who told the director to make action movies, but said "action movies are not important, and I can't do it"?
After learning from it, Jackie Chan is determined to make a real Hong Kong blockbuster movie that Hollywood will never reach in his lifetime.
"Police Story" was born.
At first glance, he will take care of the fighting moves, and the love literary drama will be left to the goddess. Therefore, the heroine fell on Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung for an unprecedented time.
Jackie Chan's script at the time, the climax scenes usually only have one word for "beat". How to play, how long, and what to use, all began to design after the filming. Of course, the two beauties didn't think it was their business.
proved to be a "misrepresentation". When filming the essay, Maggie Cheung was torn from the Little Sheep Locomotive by Jackie Chan:
was kicked down the stairs, and all of them were on their bodies:
Thinking of the evaluation of Jackie Chan at the beginning of filming, Maggie Cheung should be "repentant"?
is even worse, Brigitte Lin! Before
took over the filming, Jackie Chan promised her the treatment was "no vases, more roles".
Lin Damei was still full of joy, but she finally discovered that Jackie Chan had "added" all her roles to special effects. In one of the scenes,
actually knocked her whole body into a glass cabinet-although it was fake glass made of sugar glue, the pain of hitting it was no less than real glass.
is even more difficult. In order to persuade Brigitte Lin to perform in person, she is asked to come to watch other martial arts "hit the glass" every day, just to prove to her that it is safe. As a result, the martial arts demonstrated first broke blood and caused Brigitte Lin. Every time I shout "Turn on" on the spot, my legs are soft...
can't afford to delay the progress, and Jackie Chan has to turn red-"must be completed".
Goddess Lin began to pray.
In the era of action scenes lacking protection measures, they are often prepared well, and accidents may still occur. Jackie Chan said-
"At that time, we said we should call to turn on, 1, 2, 3, action, and then fall... But when I officially came, when I called to turn on, I threw her out. She was completely frightened. "
and Brigitte Lin were smashed on the table by her shoulders. The NG lens also tried to capture her misery.
Is this still called Wenxi? This is clearly a "sorrowful drama".
Therefore, even if the shots are well taken, even if the audience is stunned by the goddess' dedication, and even if they are nominated for the "Best Actress" in the Academy Awards, after experiencing such a tragic situation, Brigitte Lin will never cooperate with Jackie Chan anymore.
But the two goddesses are willing to fight for their lives, but the straight man Jackie Chan has a lot of confidence.
waited until the filming of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" (1986), and then did the same!
02
Guan Zhilin, and Maggie Cheung
this time it is the turn of "The Great Beauty of Guan."
Those who have watched "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" will be impressed by Jackie Chan's stunt when he jumps from a cliff to a hot air balloon at the end.
But Jackie Chan’s original idea was to let Alan Tan, Rosamund Kwan and Laura Fangna ride in a hot air balloon.
finally arrived at the scene. Guan Zhilin realized that she was really going up into the air. She cried with a "wow" on the spot, Laura FaunaSeeing that she was so scared, she also cried!
Laura Forner
Guan Zhilin
This staged a scene of Chinese and foreign beauties "holding headaches and crying". Although Alan Tam didn't cry (good job! Man), he was furious on the spot and refused to "lift into the air."
Jackie Chan had no move, so he could only let the three of them sit up and "tie" the hot air balloon with a rope, pulling it up closer to the ground. Look carefully, and you can see the tied rope.
But did Jackie Chan "let off" Rosamund Kwan? not at all!
finished filming "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother". In 1987, Jackie Chan directed and acted in "Plan A Sequel" and also asked Guan Zhilin to act. The other heroine was naturally the masochist Maggie Maggie. The stunt Guan Zhilin wants to accomplish in the
film is to sit in a basket and slide all the way from a height to the ground. If you only look at the screen, it seems quite simple...
But Rosamund Kwan still cursed the director in front of more than 300 people in the crew:
Even though she was reunited in the 1990s, Goddess Guan had to abuse Jackie Chan in this way. Brood.
But why did she agree to shoot again? After
vented, Goddess Guan Da was going to complain to Maggie Cheung in the dressing room, but Goddess Zhang was not seen.
went back to the scene and found out that Maggie Cheung cried and said, "Climb and climb", and then climbed to the roof.
In this situation, it would be even less faceless if I didn't do it. Anyway, I wasn't being abused alone, so Guan Zhilin climbed up and finished the stunt.
turned out to be fooled, and it was more dangerous than sitting in a basket. At this time, the beauty of Guan Damei, may be so afraid that she can't even speak foul language:
can Maggie Cheung have a good time?
If you don't talk about making a Jackie Chan movie, even the goddess will die. The action given to her at that time was to jump diagonally from the top floor to the lower tent, and then fell from the lower floor to the ground, three stories high. In order to give the goddess confidence first, Jackie Chan asked her to start simple: "You jump from the first floor to the second floor, it is not very high, and then there is a cardboard box below. It must be no problem." Although
was still abused, Maggie Cheung (the goddess grew up in the UK) with a foreign character still succeeded.
but I didn't expect to abuse it endlessly. The last step is to ask the goddess to fall into the second tent and then bounce to the ground, but there is no cardboard box on the ground, and Jackie Chan caught her. The goddess
finally couldn't stand it, "Wow" she cried for the Nth time. Before and after
, Guan Zhilin, who was also there at the time, could see clearly.
Like the previous Brigitte Lin, "Plan A Sequel" has also become the last drama between Goddess Guan and Jackie Chan. Three words:
: What is the picture?
These three characters are "not applicable" to Maggie Cheung. The following year (1988) filmed "Police Story Sequel" again. She had been frightened twice, but she continued to play Jackie Chan's girlfriend.
can only continue to be abused. There is a scene in
where she was going to avoid the iron pillar that fell like a domino. But there is a saying that "details determine success or failure", it is this moment, for the goddess, it should have "looked back and smiled, and there is no color in the sixth palace.
was too late, and the poor goddess Zhang was knocked down by Tie Zhu in the middle, blood was flowing on her head! ! !
But bleeding is still a trivial matter. At the time of the critical incident, Goddess Zhang got a big cut on her scalp, and she did not respond at first, but after going to the hospital for stitches, she realized that it really hurts, it hurts, it hurts... …
is even more distressing because she was afraid of injections. As long as the nurse came over with the syringe, Goddess Zhang was so scared that she insisted on wrapping gauze and going home to recuperate, and finally took the stitches after a week.
But there are also sequelae: the injured scalp can't grow hair for a long time, and the poor goddess Zhang can only use hairstyle to cover the scar.

Other goddesses: Lizhi, MeiYanfang, Wang Zuxian...
The Hong Kong movie goddesses at the time might think that as long as Jackie Chan's "buying lives" action movies were not made.
can end up, it can only be said that beauty limits their imagination.
was again in 1988. Li Zhi, known as the "Beauty in 50 Years", was "tortured" in "The Tiger Out of the Watch" shortly after becoming the heroine, and was beaten up by the fat brother!
Li Zhi
"Tiger Out"
Fa Ge never kept his hand, Li Zhi did not borrow a place, from today's perspective, it is simply incredible!
The weird thing is that the box office of "Tiger Out" reached more than 27 million Hong Kong dollars that year, ranking fifth in the top ten blockbuster films of the year. At that time, many of the audience members were still women (all like watching hair brothers beat women?) . The director of the
film is Liu Jialiang, who had been silent for several years. Originally, he always emphasized "not hitting women" when making kung fu movies. In order to stand up in the market, he specially designed this "beating up wisdom".
As a goddess, Lizhi shouldn't agree to the shooting, but thinking that his image in Hong Kong was once bad, it is better to throw himself out and use "self-abuse" to occupy the high ground of public opinion.
Since being a goddess had to be "beaten" at that time, it is better to change course and be a "beater".
No, Anita Mui, who had just picked up the Golden Statue, Golden Horse and Asia Pacific, took two action films at the end of the 1980s: "Heroes of Nature 3: Sunset Song" directed by Tsui Hark, and Teddy Luo "Children in Troubled Times" directed by Bin Bin.
"The True Colors of Heroes 3: The Sunset Song"
Looking at the Hong Kong film scene at that time, there is really only one actress who "started" after the literary film.
But being abused is gender-neutral. When
filmed "Song of the Sunset", Anita Mui was accidentally hit by a gun butt in her right eyebrow, bleeding and dizzying on the spot, and the sky was full of stars.
to "Children in Troubled Times", Anita Mui gritted her teeth and refused to use a substitute because the director asked to fight in person. Unexpectedly, when shooting such a high kicking action, due to the wrong position, she was kicked in the air by a martial artist and could not move on the spot.
The original picture of sister Mei being beaten could not be found. In the previous one, she was chic when she hit someone.
had lingering fears. After healed from her injury, Anita Mui canceled her scheduled fight with the big boss Sammo Hung!
"It's really too far apart. I stood up with him and saw that everyone felt that I could not win. He could blast me out with one punch. Fortunately, I didn't shoot."
But also because of this experience, 90 Since the beginning of the decade, Anita Mui has starred in movies with action dramas such as "Nine-One Condor Heroes", "Gambling Heroes", "Three Heroes of the East", "Modern Heroes" and "Letter to Dad" and other movies with action movies. In the "abuse" screen goddess, find a way of his own.
"The Three Heroes of the East"
, the goddess is "cannot be hit" after all. If you are not willing to be "beaten", what should you do? Don't play or play.
But the disaster of blood and light came, and yes, it fell on Wang Zuxian! When
was filming "Scary" (1989), she didn't act with Brigitte Lin, but was cut in the thigh by Goddess Lin.
has no intention of "being abused" outside the play, and of course he has to be "battered" back in the play.
Wang Zuxian and Brigitte Lin were torn in the car, enough to announce the end of the "goddess age" on the screen in the 1980s. The "side effects" of
are also very strong. Liu Zhenwei said that in the filming of "East as the West", there were two actresses who made a scene:
had a scene with a female star. I watched her from the monitor and found Her expression is so strange, it seems very painful. I looked back, another female celebrity was standing behind me looking at her, her eyes seemed to kill her, she was talking with her eyes: "Dead bastard, I see you acting! I see how you act!"
Liu Zhenwei said The parties involved are "Xian & Xia". Between the goddesses
, it may be destined to not be able to get closer.

the enlightenment of goddess abuse
Then again, why did the goddesses of the 1980s fail to escape the fate of being abused?
First of all, in the 1980s, Hong Kong martial arts movies evolved from "Kung Fu in the early Republic of China" to "fashion action". The tricks were quickly replaced by the audio-visual spectacle that stimulated adrenal hormones.
Trailblazer Sammo Hung ("Beware of Little Hands") and Jackie Chan ("Police Story") both tried their best to challenge life-threatening performances beyond ordinary people's reach.
"Beware of Little Hands"
But what does it have to do with the goddess? At the time of
, only action films produced in Hong Kong could have a movie-watching boom in all of Asia, regardless of whether Taiwan or Southeast Asia, even Japanese and Korean audiences, have a soft spot for this.
Among them, in the Japanese market, Jackie Chan's many action movies have a box office of more than 1 billion yen. In other words, whoever cooperates with Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and other action superstars at that time will have the opportunity to go out of Hong Kong and enter the foreign market. As long as
actresses participate in action movies, they can build their appeal in these markets in minutes, and then they can also sell other types of movies starring in them to the local area, which not only enhances their overall box office value, but also helps investors increase their remuneration. ——After all, there are overseas excitement, how can they have a bargaining chip than staying in Hong Kong.
So goddesses are willing to "be abused", the primary factor is the market.
Of course, when they are young, most of the goddesses will go through a period called "vase" without acting skills and only appearance.
has just debuted, so this nickname should be heard. After all, they lack experience, but after two or three years, they also hope that the audience can recognize themselves from the perspective of acting.
But to change from "vase" to "goddess", it is not the first time that a good character will come to the door. So, just start by attracting attention from the subject matter of the action, let your colleagues know that you can fight and win more opportunities.
After Maggie Cheung took the film, the most classic "vase" counterattack
For the goddesses, "abuse" is also a "cornerstone" to climb up, symbolizing the professionalism behind it.
Also, even the goddess, it depends on what kind of agent you find.
For example, Maggie Cheung, who was also Jackie Chan's agent at the time, and Chen Ziqiang (pictured below), also known as the "gold medal agent". The relationship between the two can be described as the same father and daughter.
Goddess Zhang returned to Hong Kong to enter the United Kingdom. In terms of her acting career, she naturally hopes to enter the international market. For Chen Ziqiang, who was in charge of Jackie Chan's career, it was also a hit.
But the problem is that Jackie Chan shoots all action movies. If you don't want to be reduced to a "vase" and want to have a larger market, there is only one condition, which is "abuse."
It can be said that if the goddess wants to have a bigger box office market, he must be "not against the peace" in the "violation". No matter how good the appearance and temperament, when it is time to be beaten, he must be fully committed.
even, in order to wash away the negative image of themselves, the goddesses adopt the method of "negative to positive" and "step on" themselves a little lower, instead, they can exchange the positive view of the audience.
mentioned Lizhi in the previous article. Although he won the 1986 Miss Asia championship, he blinked frequently, blinked in his eyes, and raised his chest when talking. He was once teased by the audience as a "vix spirit". With his background, he always wins Not recognized.
Lizhi
Facts have proved that sometimes the goddess does not regard herself as a "goddess", but can instead be a harlequin, allowing the audience to "compare" her image of a goddess.
So, what does this mean?
In those days, even if you were a goddess, you had to sweat and fight for yourself.
But today, traffic is everything. As long as the publicity is in place and the topic is sufficient, desperateness is no longer a necessity, let alone being abused?
If a goddess in the 80s was on the set, she would definitely tell you that her hands were just frayed, and it was not a broken bone.
The "market demand" may be understandable, but there is a way of "not forgetting the past, the teacher of the future". Back then, even being a goddess would be "tortured" like this. Now, no matter how well traffic Xiaohua does, there is no reason not to How about learning from predecessors?
justLearn to learn vigor first.
