What kind of existence is Kara Wai in the film industry?

Introduction: Kara Wai, 1960 was born in Hong Kong, 1977 made her debut in the movie The Legend of the Condor Heroes, 1982 won the Best Actress in the first Hong Kong Film Awards, and won the Hong Kong Film Awards and Taiwan Province in 20 10 for the movie demons. Recently, the film "Lucky Me" starring her was released, and she won the award-winning trophy at the Macau Film Festival.

Kara Wai has played two roles, one is Wu Zetian three years ago, and the other is an Alzheimer's patient, that is, Alzheimer's disease, in the new drama Luck is Me. The two roles are two sides of her, extremely powerful and eager to be cared for and cared for.

This contradiction comes from her dramatic life: she started to make a living at the age of 3 and was once the smartest and precocious girl in Wan Chai, Hong Kong; 40 years of ups and downs in the entertainment circle, more than a dozen times won the best actress, countless times willing or unwilling green leaves.

At the Beijing conference of "Luck is Me", she wore a red dress, had neat short hair and a crescent-shaped smile, which was half a fight against women's domineering and half the charm of the winner. She told the global person reporter that she was the same in the crew: she never talked nonsense with strangers at work, and the newcomers shouted "Red Sister" with fear when they saw her; The next day, she bought snacks and distributed them to the crew. Everyone was moved by her kindness and said "thank you" kindly.

She is not angry or arrogant, but also gentle, just like the names her father gave her: Ying and Hong.

20 days of drama, 20 years of sorry.

At first, Kara Wai didn't want to take the script "Luck is Me" because he was too old to pretend to be 70 or 80 years old. But she couldn't bear to part with the story, and hesitated again and again. She said to Director Yiu-Fai Law, "It doesn't matter if you have less money, but first, don't play too old; Second, some details can refer to my mother. "Her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease 20 years ago.

Kara Wai plays an old man who lives alone-Aunt Fen in the film. At the beginning of suffering from Alzheimer's disease, she met Xu who lost family support. They live together and help each other. In one scene, Aunt Fen lost her temper with Xu because she couldn't remember the TV channel clearly, and there was a fierce quarrel between them. This bridge is based on the real experience in Kara Wai. In the past, there were only two channels in Hong Kong. Later, there were many channels, and my mother couldn't remember. She kept asking Kara Wai to find a channel. "On one occasion, after repeating this for dozens of times, I threw the remote control to her and complained that she couldn't learn it so easily. After a few minutes, she forgot about being scolded and asked me to turn on the TV like a child. Although she was smiling, she still cried. "

More than 30 years ago, Kara Wai was the most popular female star in Hong Kong. She was definitely the number one female in big action movies such as Bad Head and Life and Death Field. Sometimes when she goes to the set, her 50-year-old mother "nurtures" her like a child, scolding her for her ugly clothes and not going out to lose face. Gradually, the mother-daughter relationship is no longer as close as before. "In fact, she was very lonely and scared, but we didn't know she was ill. But complaining that she can't give me a gentle and pleasant environment. "

It was not until my mother was admitted to the hospital at the age of 70 that doctors discovered that she had Alzheimer's disease. It took more than ten years from onset to diagnosis. "When I saw the MRI, her skull was very big, with only a brain as small as an egg in the middle, and my tears fell down in an instant," Kara Wai said. "I made this movie to tell everyone not to be as boring as I am. Alzheimer's disease doesn't happen until you are very old. Many people get sick when they are in their fifties. "

There is a scene in the film in which Aunt Fen sees a box of eggs bought repeatedly, realizes that she is sick, and squats in front of the refrigerator and cries. During the performance, when I saw the "egg" in my mother's mind 20 years ago, complex emotions came to my mind, and Kara Wai collapsed on the set. She said it was not difficult to act in this play, because all the performances were based on her decades-long relationship with her mother. However, the shooting in just 20 days is very heavy, because all the explanations are to say "sorry" for being 20 years late.

Kara Wai told reporters that when she was a child, she was caught by the police selling chewing gum in Wan Chai. Her mother thought she would never come back, so she rushed to the police station and pulled out the police officer's gun with all her strength. Now 9 1 year-old mothers can only lie in hospital beds, and even their daughters don't know much about it. Kara Wai said, "I will never allow my family to go to a nursing home. Some people say that parents are old and burdensome. I said, how can I see that I don't need them? Some people say that I have lived with my mother for decades, but I know that if my mother is lost, she can't live. "

She suddenly remembered a line in "Luck is Me": Life is alive, isn't it that you help me and I help you? The same is true between mother and daughter.

Free from suffering

Zhang Ailing said that what is long is suffering, and what is short is life. This is an appropriate description of Kara Wai. For more than 40 years before her death, she always put aside the best time and struggled in the mire.

Her father is a descendant of Zhenghuangqi in Manchu Dynasty and a small boss in Huijiazhuang, Shandong Province. When Hui's family went to Hong Kong, they used seven or eight boxes of gold bars to buy more than half of the property on Prince Edward Road. It's a pity that Master Hui's natural disposition is weak, he was cheated in gambling, and his family's property was lost from street to street. When Kara Wai was born, Jiahui had moved to a cabin on the mountain. Later, when the typhoon hit, even the wooden house collapsed, so the family had to live under someone else's stairs and pick up leftovers across the street. Father cried while eating, feeling guilty and sad.

The family couldn't afford to raise so many children, and all the brothers and sisters were sent to study drama, so Kara Wai became the boss. When she was 3 years old, she went to Wan Chai Pier and sold chewing gum with the legs of American soldiers all day. /kloc-When I was 0/2 years old, I followed my sister to a nightclub to dance China, and danced lions with equipment heavier than people. I was dug into the entertainment circle by a talent scout while dancing. 17 years old, played Mu Nianci in the movie Legend of the Condor Heroes, and bought himself a house two years later. At the age of 22, she won the Best Actress in the first Academy Award for "Elders" and became the only actress who won the award for her drama. On the day of winning the prize, she was in a daze, thinking that the trophy was copper and could not be exchanged for a few dollars. She threw it under the bed when she got home.

They are also beautiful women. Maggie Cheung and Cherie Chung make money from theatrical dramas and comedies, while Kara Wai can only survive by being injured. Every day she came home from work covered in bruises, and her mother saw her hiding in her room and crying. Kara Wai felt unwilling and wanted to act in a literary drama, but no one believed that she would act in a literary film. Injured in his thirties, Hong Kong Wushu gradually declined. She suddenly changed from a heroine to a supporting role, and finally there was no play.

At the age of 44, she suffered from depression, wrote a suicide note, took medicine and prepared to commit suicide. After lying in bed for 8 hours, I woke up and said, "I really regret it." I think I just gave up. " She thought: God will not accept me, so live actively. She became the strongest green leaf of TVB, and "Rose Business", "Palace Planning" and "The Princess Marries" followed one after another, thus becoming an old drama bone. Everyone said that she played well. In 2009, Malaysian director He Yuhang asked her to play a single mother who has a strong possessive desire for her son in the low-budget film demons. A year later, she won the 29th Oscar for Best Actress, followed by the Golden Horse Award and the Asian Film Award. ...

The year before last, she moved and arranged a cupboard to display trophies. She felt very proud: "I haven't studied, but many of my friends are college students and doctors." They take good care of me, but I always feel short. " Looking at the trophies that day, I think these are similar to their diplomas. I don't lack anyone. "She graduated from her own suffering.

The man I want must be strong.

After 20 10 won the Oscar for the second time, Kara Wai burst into tears. She said on the stage, "I have been in the scenery for more than ten years, and I don't know why I fell to the bottom and why I pushed myself to the wall, but I am lucky to have a good family." Since childhood, she has been the one who has made up her mind in the Hui family: her father is dying and several brothers and sisters can't make up their minds. Only Kara Wai made a decision and said, "Don't let him suffer any more"; She bears most of the family expenses, but her brothers and sisters think that the actress industry is not serious and even want to cut her with a knife; In 20 12, Hui Tianci, the fourth brother, died of excessive weight loss, and Kara Wai reluctantly handled all the aftermath, once again appeasing the entire Hui family. "They gradually saw my efforts and everyone loved me."

Not long ago, Kara Wai just finished filming the action film "Mrs. K", which was specially written for her by the grateful director He Yuhang, and she also regarded it as a masterpiece in the field of action. She said: "I want to be a full-time student after retirement, continue to study painting, and then auction it out to donate to different institutions."

His family and career have been completed, and Kara Wai also wants someone to hold his hand and grow old with his son. In all these years, she has only been in love once. The reason for breaking up is "I have taken care of too many people since I was a child, and I like to help others arrange." Boys feel that they can't catch up with me. " After that, she "has not held hands for more than ten years" and is still single. "I believe that person will appear when I need it most. The man I want must be strong and must protect me! "

Deep down, she is still a little woman. Even though I'm not in Qian Fan, I'm still looking forward to a harbor that can bear her tired body and mind.
