2608 [Shu Qi]

When Xia Tian heard the host introduce the guest as "Taiwan's No. 1 Beauty", he suddenly froze.

"The No. 1 Beauty in Taiwan?" He curled his lips, "If she is the No. 1 Beauty in Taiwan, where can we Xiaoxian put it?"

"Xiao Qian, the title of "Taiwan's No. 1 Beauty", was voted in a magazine a few years ago. Although it is not universal, her title is still famous because of this." Wang Xianzong explained, "Although we Xiaoxian is more beautiful than her, who will compete with her for this false reputation?"

"Although it's just a false reputation, it's still wrong for her to say this." Xia Tian waved his hand after hearing this.

In his previous life, even though Li Jiaxin was beautiful, she was still the title of "The Most Beautiful Hong Kong Miss" by the wealthy wife Zhu Lingling. When the media introduced Li Jiaxin, they did not dare to praise her with "The Most Beautiful Hong Kong Miss".

But Xiao Qian dared to claim that he was "Taiwan's No. 1 Beauty". There are also TV stations who are willing to praise her, so where are Wang Xian, Lin Qingxia and others?

If Xiao Qian is really beautiful, it would be fine. The key is that she is just pretty, she looks a bit pretty, a bit like Hong Kong actress Yuan Jieying, but not as delicate as Yuan Jieying. Such a person dares to claim to be "Taiwan's No. 1 Beauty", which really makes people feel that there is no one in Taiwan.

"A Tian, ​​you are a big boss, why are you doing these things?" Wang Xianzong smiled and said, "She doesn't mean she is known as the 'No. 1 beauty in Taiwan', she is known as the 'No. 1 beauty in the universe', isn't she just a female artist?"

Xia Tian curled his lips, but he still felt uncomfortable.

...

At this time, he noticed that among the dancers who danced with Xiao Qian, there was one who looked familiar.

He took a closer look and his eyes lit up, "Shu Qi?!"

Shu Qi was one of the last movie stars to make a name for herself in the Hong Kong film industry. In his previous life, by 1994, Hong Kong movies had already shown signs of decline under the exploitation of American blockbusters.

Shu Qi debuted in 1996. She not only shot large-scale photos, but also made large-scale movies. Because she dared to take off, she was liked by Director Wang Jing and brought to Hong Kong for development.

At the beginning, she was asked to star in "The Heart Sutra of Jade Girls", "Red Light District", "Casium Love Men and Women", etc., which are all relatively wide-scale movies.

But the acting skills Shu Qi showed in these movies made Wang Jing realize that she could not only be a star-breaking actor, but also become a very good actor.

Therefore, Wang Jing's company no longer arranged for Shu Qi to shoot third-level films, but instead allowed her to star in mainstream movies such as "The Gay Forty", "Super Invincible Chasing Girls", and "Flying Love".

Shu Qi's performance was surprising. She was nominated for the Best Actress at the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards for "Flying Love", showing her excellent acting skills and unlimited potential.

Therefore, she was arranged to star in blockbusters such as "The Dragon and the Tiger Fight", "The Love Chapter of the Hongxing Thirteen Sisters", "The Storm and Cloud Dominate the World" and other blockbusters.

The "Demonic" series was one of the most popular movies in the Hong Kong film industry at that time. Actors such as Cheng Yijian, Chen Xiaochun, and Xie Tianhua became famous with this series of movies and became idols of countless teenagers.

"The World of Wind and Clouds" has a total investment of more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, making it the first Hong Kong movie to use computer CG technology on a large scale.

Shu Qi appeared in these three movies and has many scenes, which shows how Wang Jing is supporting her.

Then she partnered with Li Ming, one of the four kings, to star in "City of Glass"; partnered with her elder brother Cheng Long, to star in "Glass Bottle"... Being able to work with these first-line movie stars shows that Shu Qi was already very popular at that time.

After her, the Hong Kong film industry has basically collapsed, and it is difficult to launch an influential newcomer. It can be said that Shu Qi is a lucky person because she debuted one year later, her fate may be different because of this.

Of course, she herself is also very talented. There are many actresses who make third-level films, but it is rare to wear off her clothes like her.

Many actresses are still regarded as having a star-breaker even after they have transformed later. For example, Li Lizhen, who starred in only four third-level films, then she transformed into an acting school and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. However, when people mention her, they basically treat her as a star-breaker.

...

Looking at this legendary actress, now acting as a background board behind Xiao Qian, singing and dancing, Xia Tianzhen is a little worthless for her.

"Strange! It's already been 1997 now. Logically, shouldn't she have been discovered in Hong Kong long ago? Why is she still developing in Taiwan now and looks so unsatisfactory?" Xia Tian said in confusion, "Is it because the timeline has changed, so her fate has also changed?"

After thinking about it carefully, Xia Tian felt that this reason was becoming more and more reliable.

Since the late 1980s, he has been promoting cooperation between Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland. After so many years of development, the cooperation between the three places is getting closer and closer, and more and more mainland artists have been brought to Hong Kong for development.

Mainland artists are generally from professional schools and have solid basic skills. At the same time, with the population size of the mainland, the selected people must be good, and there is no choice between appearance and acting skills.

What’s even more rare is that because the economic development of the mainland is not as good as that of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the pay of mainland actors is relatively low. It can be said that they are cheap and good-for-money!

Therefore, a large number of outstanding mainland performing talents have been imported into Hong Kong, which makes the Hong Kong entertainment industry very abundant in talent reserves. Under such circumstances, people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry naturally no longer have to introduce talents from Taiwan.

The reason why Wang Jing made a third-level film in his previous life was that the third-level film was more profitable than other films during the decline of Hong Kong films. However, although Hong Kong films are excluded by American blockbusters, they are still very prosperous. Therefore, Wang Jing is not as good as the third-level film to save the market.

What's more, in the past two years, he has been running around in Hong Kong and the United States, making serious commercial films, and he is still busy with schedules, so how can he have time to choose a third-level film in Taiwan to lose his star?

If Shu Qi was not selected by a Hong Kong director, she would be destined to have no great prospects in Taiwan.

Because Shu Qi's face is relatively high-end and suitable for the big screen. When she appears on the small screen, it is actually not likable. Taiwanese movies have been in a sluggish for so many years and have never improved. So Shu Qi wants to become a movie star in Taiwan, so she is destined to be unable to develop. No wonder, she has become Xiao Qian's dancer now.

"It's better to bring her to Hong Kong." Xia Tian thought.

There are actually not many actresses like Shu Qi who have acting skills, appearance and motivation in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Movie stars are not something that can be praised by saying that they can be praised. For example, Jing Tian and Liu Yifei have starred in so many large-scale movies, but they still cannot gain a foothold in the film industry and have no works that can be shown. This further highlights Shu Qi's rareness.
