Xia Meng: Jin Yong pursues the prototype of "Little Dragon Girl" which was not allowed in 10, and is the closest beauty to the Republic of China.

Xia Meng, many people may be a little unfamiliar with this name, but it was her dress that led the fashion trend in China in 1950s and 1960s and was called "Xia Meng dress". Her debut was the peak. From 17, the quality products of the film department were deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the smile on the screen was elegant and carefree, which became the dream goddess of many people.

In order to see her beauty, Jin Yong did not hesitate to quit his job and applied for a job in her company. When Qiao Yu first saw Xia Meng, he was fascinated by the beautiful image of a beautiful woman and wrote a well-known "missing". "Where are you from, my friend? You flew into my window like a butterfly ..."

Xia Meng, formerly known as Yang Meng, 1933, was born in a famous family in Shanghai. Her grandparents and parents like opera very much. Influenced by the family atmosphere, Xia Meng had a strong interest in traditional Chinese opera since he was a child, and also showed his talent in this field. After her parents hummed some small pieces of Beijing opera several times, she was able to recite them, and she could also learn the singing style closely.

In the turbulent era of 1947, Xia Meng moved to Hong Kong with his family to study. At school, she actively participated in drama clubs and various stage performances. It was during this period that she discovered her love for acting, and every performance excited her. The experience of the characters in the script made her feel more deeply about life. She loves Shakespeare best, and her stage name Xia Meng comes from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

1950, Yuan Yi An, the director of Great Wall Studio, started a new talent plan, and he was worried about where to find the right actress. At this moment, he saw his daughter and two tall girls coming. That's Xia Meng and his sister Yang Jie.

When I first saw Xia Meng, Yuan Yi Ann was convinced that she was an actress. She is so beautiful. /kloc-Xia Meng, 0/7 years old, has grown slim. She is exquisite in facial features, beautiful in appearance and elegant in temperament, resembling peaches in March and chrysanthemums in September. She stood out from the crowd.

Yuan Yi Ann invited Xia Meng to join his company, but Xia Meng hesitated. In the 1950s, the entertainment circle in Hong Kong was in chaos. Xia Meng's family didn't want Xia Meng to get involved in this muddy water, but Xia Meng's love of acting made them unwilling to persuade Xia Meng to give up his dream. After careful consideration, we finally came up with a satisfactory solution. Xia Meng's family signed a "three noes" agreement with the company, not to attend ribbon cutting, banquets and entertainment, and not to shoot unhealthy content.

In this way, Xia Meng joined the Great Wall Studio at 1950, and at 195 1, Xia Meng made his first film "Forbidden Marriage", which was sought after and loved by fans and opened Xia Meng's bright starlight life.

1953, The Evil Sea Flower starring Xia Meng became one of the films shown at the 5th Edinburgh International Film Festival, which was the first Hong Kong film to participate in the International Film Festival.

1954, Xia Meng filmed Metropolitan Symphony and Sisters' Song. From then on, it became popular all over the country, and it was called "the third princess of the Great Wall" with Shi Hui and Chen Sisi. 1966 After the filming of "Winter jasmine", Xia Meng announced his retirement.

Smile like a flower, and the jade sound is elegant. From the movie 17, Xia Meng flew into the hearts of the public like a dancing butterfly, which amazed the years of an era. Even Yi Shu marveled at "her beauty, whether in ancient costumes or fashion shows, is so beautiful."

When it comes to Xia Meng, you have to mention Jin Yong. It has been rumored that the archetypes of fairy sisters in Jin Yong's martial arts novels are all based on Xia Meng, ranging from charming fragrant princesses to cold Wang Yuyan and little dragon girls.

By the time Xia Hong spread all over the country, Jin Yong was already a minor celebrity. In order to get close contact with Xia Meng, Jin Yong did not hesitate to quit his job and went to Great Wall Studio to apply for a screenwriter, and tailored the script of "Beautiful Home" for Xia Meng. Jin Yong once joked: "At that time, Tang Bohu fell in love with a rich girl, Chou-heung. In order to get close to her, I would not hesitate to sell myself as a slave to a rich family. Compared with Jin Yong, I am still far from it. "

There is also an embarrassing story between Cenfan and Xia Meng, the famous directors who directed The True Story of Ah Q and A Dream of Red Mansions. Cenfan is one of the protagonists in Forbidden Marriage. During the filming, Xia Meng was attracted by the handsome and mature CenFan. With the in-depth understanding of both sides, he discovered each other's talents and advantages. After they got together, Xia Meng felt that Hong Kong was not suitable for Cenfan's development, and suggested that he go back to the mainland to show his talents. CenFan back to the mainland, Xia Meng ready to go back together, I didn't expect the company to let her leave Hong Kong.

They can only solve the suffering of lovesickness through letters. Unexpectedly, you tampered with and intercepted their letters. They also spread rumors that CenFan got married and had children in the Mainland, but Xia Meng, who was slow to get a response, finally died. After many years, the two met again, restoring all the things at that time. It's a pity that Xia Meng is already someone else's wife.

Cen Fan said, "To love someone is to be kind to another person. I am very pleased that Xia Meng has a good family, a good child and a good career. " He also admitted that Xia Meng's beauty is second, and her heart is more beautiful and kind. If she hadn't met her, she might have married another woman and had children, but when she met Xia Meng, there was no room for comparison with others. He chose not to get married to make up for his regret at that time, to prove his sincere love for Xia Meng.

The so-called gifted scholars and beautiful women, the so-called noble families, are just the life that others want. Xia Meng yearns for a simple and plain life, loyalty and pure love. This may be the reason why she chose Lin Baocheng.

1954, Xia Meng met Lin Baocheng while filming. Pure Lin Baocheng rekindled Xia Meng's expectation of love. Unlike others, Lin Baocheng just praised Xia Meng blindly, but in Xia Meng's performance, he sincerely pointed out her problems. Lin Baocheng is a warm person and takes good care of life in Xia Meng, so Xia Meng, 2 1 year-old, married Lin Baocheng and they lived together all their lives.

In the interview of Xia Meng in his later years, we can still feel the marriage friendship between them. According to Xia Meng's sister Yang Jie, her brother-in-law likes her sister very much. When going out, my sister always walks in front with a cosmetic box, and my brother-in-law follows with a box in one hand. She also said it was good and balanced. Brother-in-law has always been like this, and he doesn't let his sister worry about big and small things.

Xia Meng returned to Hong Kong from Canada after many years of retirement. At that time, the Hong Kong film industry had just been hit and everything was in ruins. Shaw Company heard that Xia Meng had returned to Hong Kong and invited her to make a film. Xia Meng refused. She came back to film this time, but not as an actress, but as a behind-the-scenes producer.

Jade Bird Film Company was established in 1979. As the chief producer, Xia Meng made three films: Going to the Angry Sea, Heroes from Ancient Times and Time flies, which were few in number and high in quality.

"Going to the Angry Sea" was nominated in the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards 12, and won five awards, namely, best new actor, best film, best director, best screenwriter and best production designer. It won the box office record of Hong Kong films, and won the favor of newcomer Andy Lau and director Xu Anhua.

"Time flies" Anita Mui sang a song of the same name, and Gaowa Siqin came to Hong Kong to shoot it. The film won the Best Actress, Best Film, Best Newcomer, Best Music, Best Director and Best Production Designer in the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards.

Suddenly, Xia Meng resold the thriving bluebird film to others and immigrated to Canada again. In an interview with Xia Meng's 65th anniversary celebration, she said, "People can't expect too much, but learn to accept good things." Considering the tense situation at that time, it is not difficult for us to find out why she gave up. We have to say that Xia Meng is a very wise woman.

When she was an actress, she studied the script carefully and honed her acting skills to make every role a classic. When she was a producer, she was critical and strict about movies, which made every movie a masterpiece. She was unmoved by the ups and downs in the entertainment circle. She insists on her initial intention as an actress and never does anything unrelated to the play. In 20 15, Xia Meng won the China Film Lifetime Achievement Award of Shanghai International Film Festival.

20 16 10, Xia Meng died at the age of 83, and her life left a deep impression in the film history.
