At fifteen, Xu Meigui starred as the heroine in The Legend of the Swordsman, becoming the youngest Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards and taking the city by storm. But after her mentor died and she was framed, her popularity quickly plummeted and her glory faded. Determined to climb back to the top and reclaim her former glory, she embarked on a ruthless campaign of stirring up trouble and clawing her way to the top.
A supporting role she won at an audition goes to someone with connections instead? She pays off a reporter and goes straight for the jugular, exposing the other woman's history of stealing movie roles at the last minute.
A minor award she should have won is rigged and handed to a pretty face instead. She pays off a film critic and fights back, turning herself into an undiscovered gem.
Her leading role in a two-woman film is cut down to a minor part by her rival, who uses her powerful backer. The next day, a magazine runs a story about the actress being kept by a rich man. The man's wife shows up and beats the cheating scumbag and his mistress.
Hong Kong reporters love stories about illegitimate children, so Xu Meigui brings a crowd of reporters to her father's door and confronts him with his scandalous past.
At the Cannes Film Festival, Xu Meigui is dressed to the nines in heavy makeup and an elegant gown, only to discover that someone has broken her high heel. She walks barefoot onto the stage to accept her award. Mu Runze, a legendary Chinese-American Hollywood star, gets down on one knee and puts her shoe back on for her.
Xu Meigui takes the trophy and says, "The road here was hard. But now, I've made it."
"Xu Meigui, the first Chinese actress to win the Best Actress award at Cannes, and the first Chinese actress to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. A peerless star of Hong Kong's golden age, a rose blooming in this land of blood and honey. She once led the wave of classical Hong Kong wuxia cinema and served as the muse to a generation of legendary directors. When the wuxia era ended, Xu Meigui left the stage in sorrow. But ten years later, the queen returned to reclaim her throne. Xu Meigui rose again, immortalized in film history.", Time
Theme: The king returns
Hasn't the heroine gone through a lot? Why do I still feel so stupid?
It's pretty good-looking. I want to fatten it up, so why not update it??
Hahahaha the heroine is really great
In fact, lesbian movies are well-made and really good-looking, such as the pictures of women being burned.
Adjani is really, her face is so artistic!
If you want both, then I want them all. I'll invite you, hehe.
Ah, the heroine has expired. Cry, she doesn't look as good as the previous writing.
Wow, I'm so happy. The heroine is finally starting to return to her peak. Keep up the good work!
I'm back and I'm here to comment, I can't get enough! Crying and crying, it makes me miss you.
Xu Meigui is a good name. Do you want to change it to Rose in the future?
