As a Kowloon woman, some people beg to sell insurance along the street, and some people have unlimited scenery after a double film. What did they go through?

Can you imagine that an insurance seller would be a Hong Kong sister from the last century?

I'm afraid you can't believe that a Hong Kong sister with unlimited scenery will be reduced to begging on the street.

In the public's cognition, only famous people can live well, especially Hong Kong sister who became famous in the last century. Today, most of them are respected predecessors in the circle. It is precisely because of this that we will pay attention to and sympathize with those who are down and out.

First, the glory of female representatives in Kowloon

After the failure of the election of Hong Kong Sister in 2020, the "Hong Kong Sister" ceremony, which lasted for decades, was also suspended. I have to say that this is also an opportunity for Hong Kong entertainment circle to regain a "fig leaf".

In fact, with the development of Chinese mainland entertainment circle, Hongkong entertainment circle has gradually declined.

In the early years, due to the relaxed environment and policies of the entertainment circle in Hong Kong, the eyes of the whole country were almost focused on the stars from the Hong Kong circle. Therefore, Carina Lau, Andy Lau, Anita Mui, Wu Junru and other stars have many opportunities. Even in the face of the snow, they still have enough opportunities to rally.

At that time, the selection of Hong Kong sisters almost became synonymous with "superior". The pursuit of Hong Kong sisters was no different from the usual variety shows, but the former showed considerable advantages in influence.

Speaking of the most famous generation of Hong Kong sisters, the generation represented by Carina Lau is bound to occupy a place. Carina Lau, Lan Jieying, Wu Junru, Anita Mui and others are called "Kowloon Women". At that time, the names of women in Kowloon were almost unknown. Both the double actress in Carina Lau and the best hostess in Berlin and Cannes, Maggie Cheung, can be traced back to the glorious reputation of the "Kowloon Woman" period.

There is no shortage of shadows under the lamp. It is a far cry from the usual development of girls in Kowloon. Some people are glamorous in front of the stage, and some people miss the opportunity to protect themselves.

There is no doubt that "Kowloon Girl" is the epitome of the whole Hong Kong sister tradition. The different trajectories of the nine actresses represent different people in the entertainment circle. Even as usual, we can still see similar life experiences in ordinary stars.

Second, beggars and insurance companies.

Lan Jieying and Shangshan Hina are the two most regrettable actresses among "Kowloon Women". Clearly rich in resources, high visibility, but give up resources. Usually, when we recall these two actresses, we can only describe them as beggars and insurers respectively.

Lan Jieying's life can be described as "ups and downs". She has attracted worldwide attention, and she has also experienced the bottom line of life that ordinary people can't experience all their lives.

It is a coincidence that Lan Jieying entered the entertainment circle. When she was eighteen or nineteen, she just wanted to make money. Even though her father wanted to send her to study in Taiwan Province Province, she persisted in learning computer typing and worked as a salesgirl in a department store. She just wanted to make a lot of money, so she had the idea of being a tailor.

It can be said that making a lot of money was the only idea in Lan Jieying's mind at that time. As for the infinite opportunities of "female star", she naturally didn't think about it, but after her cousin signed up as a radio artist, Lan Jieying took part in this training.

At this point, Lan Jieying began his ups and downs of life, facing a world full of wealth in his early twenties.

I have to say that Lan Jieying deserves success. She has a beauty that ordinary people can't match. During the period when the filter was scarce, she was able to show a good face value on the deformed screen of the portrait, which made her quickly get attention. Several works, such as A Wife at Home, made her popular, and her dream of making a lot of money seemed to have failed.

However, while life gives you achievements, it will also give you some unfortunate accidents, and Lan Jieying is facing such a dilemma.

In the audience's cognition, it seems common for female stars to divorce, but only a handful of husbands like Lan Jieying committed suicide. The lack of such experience to defeat such a self-reliant woman has become the foreshadowing of her tragic future.

The turning point of Lan Jieying's fate can be traced back to the first time she was hidden in the snow. At that time, she was dissatisfied with the low salary and refused to sign a five-year contract with Andy Lau and others. We can understand Lan Jieying's behavior. After all, when she was seventeen or eighteen, making a lot of money became her dream.

At the same time, after becoming famous, Lan Jieying's attitude towards performance suddenly changed, and being late almost became synonymous with her. Of course, we can also think that this is the privilege of big people.

Admittedly, Lan Jieying is lucky. If she is willing to play in the TV circle, she can at least guarantee her wealth and freedom, but she has plunged into the film circle with her movie dream.

We didn't expect that Lan Jieying, known as Wutai Mountain, could only play a spider spirit in A Chinese Odyssey.

Lan Jieying suffered great twists and turns for the first time in her life. Several films she participated in became classics, but she didn't create classic roles. She should be prepared for the cruelty of the film circle, but Lan Jieying was deeply frustrated by her successive indifference. In the interview, she brazenly swept away her original achievements and thought that she had no masterpiece.

Assuming that the experience in the film industry is a heavy stone, then Lan Jieying's self-reported tragic experience is the straw that finally crushed him. At this point, the "Beautiful Wutai Mountain" actress disappeared and was replaced by a crazy woman sitting on the street begging.

It is hard for us to imagine how Lan Jieying lived, but her personal experience is an established ideal. We can't change what happened, we can only pity her and regard her experience as a page in the teaching material.

Compared with Lan Jieying's misery, Anna Ueyama, who is also a "Kowloon girl", is much luckier. Both of them have good looks and acting skills, but the latter lacks a little luck.

After his debut, Anna Ueyama was known as the master of TVB, Hua Dan, but we also have to admit that some people are not bad in strength or lack of resources, but they are not popular. Anna Ueyama is such an example. As a member of "Nine Dragons Girls", Anna Ueyama's Bad Girls and Meet My Opponent have gained good reputation, which is not a disgrace to this group.

Suppose Lan Jieying is a tragedy derived from good luck, and Anna Ueyama is a small fortune caused by bad luck.

Anna Ueyama, as a Hua Dan, is in a semi-red state from time to time, but she still occupies a lot of resources in Taiwan. She suffered a lot of criticism at that time, so by chance, she was lucky enough to quit the entertainment circle and started to be an insurer. Although it is "selling insurance", her connections in the entertainment circle make her irreplaceable.

Because of her ability to keep radical about other stars' secrets and her interpersonal network in the circle for many years, Anna Ueyama has done very well in the insurance industry, and she seems to have forgotten acting. Behind her seemingly indifferent attitude, she will personally congratulate Maggie Cheung when Clean is famous in the world, and let her daughter inherit her relationship in the entertainment circle. Maybe she wants her daughter to finish what the capitalists can't.

Anna Ueyama and Lan Jieying belong to the "Kowloon Women" who are not so lucky. They have experienced different twists and turns in the film and television circle, but different choices have brought them different fates.

Third, it is difficult to have a "Kowloon girl"

There is also a short story about the origin of the title of "Kowloon Girl". At that time, nine girls from the entertainment circle in Hong Kong made their debut one after another. Because they often shoot together and make announcements together, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer. The outside world calls them "Kowloon Girls", and they are also sisters. If they cannot get married in the future, they agree to live together.

Usually, it seems that this story obviously has an idealistic filter. Even if there has been such a thing, their disparity in identity can only make them say hello when they meet again.

Many people say that the cultural circle is shallow, but "Kowloon Girl" is the best proof.

If you really treat each other as your sisters, how can there be a tragedy? It is often difficult for people who know the stories in the circle of Hong Kong sisters to be interested in the gossip in the usual entertainment circle. After all, these routines in the entertainment circle are still the epitome of the Hong Kong circle.

It is always difficult for us to see the next "Kowloon Girl", especially when the manufacturing of traffic stars is becoming more and more streamlined, and the once pure natural beauty has disappeared.

Lan Jieying's death not only means the complete end of the "Kowloon Girl" period, but also indicates that "Hong Kong Sister" once lost her authority in the entertainment circle. However, apart from the signboard of "Sister Hong Kong", it is difficult for us to find that the second draft has such strong authority.

In recent years, the entertainment industry in Chinese mainland has developed rapidly. TVB, Hong Kong sister and wireless have all become synonymous with outdated tastes. However, with the development of the entertainment industry, it is difficult for us to see actors who can be compared with Hong Kong stars in the last century. This film is not a great irony.
