Especially the TV series "Wu Zetian" starring her was a sensation in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the ratings soared. In the play, Feng Baobao is sincere, both rigid and soft, which has both the charm of a girl and the majesty of a queen. The characters are quite three-dimensional and multifaceted, far more brilliant than Pan Yingzi and Liu Xiaoqing, who later played Wu Zetian. They were praised by the Hong Kong newspaper as "the only child star who can top the box office in the history of China movies"
Feng Baobao is not only a child star, but also has an early debut, a large number of movies, and a lively and lovely image, which ensures the box office and can be called the "Shirley Temple" of Hong Kong films.
However, her life experience is similar to that of macaulay culkin, who became famous for "Alone": because she became a popular star since she was a child, she earned a lot of money, and her parents went to court for the custody of the "cash cow", which led to the frustration of child stars' psychological growth, great deviation in self-positioning and emotional cognition, and the breakdown of her relationship with her parents, resulting in serious mental problems.
However, unlike Macaulay, who was later devastated, Feng Baobao survived the hard times with tenacious willpower, although her life was even more unsatisfactory. After the age of 40, she created female images of different ages and personalities on the screen with perfect acting skills, and was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award in the Hong Kong Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Award in Taiwan.
Today, 66-year-old Feng Baobao is still active in the film industry. At the age of 6 1, she co-produced the film Mommy Xia with her son. As the name implies, she has experienced many twists and turns and a lonely and difficult life without love, but she can still break through difficulties, shoulder heavy burdens and solve problems for her family.
Feng Baobao was born in Borneo, Malaysia on 1954.
Her family has been actors for generations. Her biological mother, Chen, was a Cantonese opera actress, and later she switched to making movies. Her father Feng Feng is more famous. She is a famous Cantonese opera actress. She started making movies in the late 1930s and was an early movie star. She has made films such as Biography of Heroes, Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon. 1949, when she was exercising at home, her face was injured, which caused her mouth muscles to atrophy and she could no longer be an actress. His self-portrait, self-directed and self-directed film Xi Lu Xiang was released. The main character of this film is Bruce Lee, 10 years old. Since then, Bruce Lee made her debut as a child star, and eventually became a kung fu movie superstar.
Feng Feng is a well-known child star, so he turned his attention to his children. He has three wives and 1 1 children, and Feng Baobao ranks fifth. Chen was his second wife, but he never had a formal name. Seeing that the upper position was hopeless, he simply broke up with Fengfeng and threw Feng Baobao to Fengfeng like a burden.
Feng Baobao is actually not Fengfeng's own child. However, because Feng Baobao is sweet and lovely, her uncle and Fengfeng's uncle Feng Bing have attached great importance to her since childhood, thinking that she is "born for acting", so Fengfeng seems to like her very much.
Feng Feng's daughters Feng Subo, Feng Baobao, Feng Anli, Feng Suyun and his sons Feng Kean and Feng Jilong all appeared on the screen when they were very young. Brothers and sisters often co-produce movies. Feng Baobao started making guest films when he was two and a half years old. At the age of five, she was assigned to play an important role in the crime movie "The Poison Man", which became an instant hit. After starring in "Cry on a Rainy Night", she gained a lot.
Born in dead ringer, he looks lovely and is very popular with the audience. Together with Feng Subo, she became the star "Seven Princesses" of Hong Kong video girls in Cantonese film era.
Feng Baobao is good at singing and dancing, lively and lovely, and her box office appeal far exceeds that of other brothers and sisters. Her monthly salary is as high as HK$ 20,000, which is twice that of the first-line female stars in Hong Kong movies and four or five times that of the first-line young people. She soon became a cash cow in the family.
At the price at that time, she could buy a house in a 12 prime location a year, and the whole family had to rely on her to support more than a dozen people. The general manager of HSBC once joked: "I can't print money as fast as Feng Baobao can make money."
Therefore, Feng Feng helped her pick up films everywhere, regardless that she was only five years old. During the three years from the age of five to eight, Feng Baobao made 150 films, making him the largest child star in the world. When the task is the heaviest, she has to shoot it in seven days. She once lamented that she had no childhood, only filming, and left the set alone every night, feeling very lonely and painful.
In this way, Fengfeng is not satisfied, but his appetite is growing. 1962, he invested himself to set up "Baofeng Production Company". In less than a year, Feng Baobao made 30 films.
Chen, the biological mother, has divorced Feng Feng at this time. She was outstanding in appearance and gave birth to Feng Baobao when she was very young. She didn't like her daughter very much. She once said in disgust, "It's better to have a duck egg than to have you." Seeing that Feng Baobao could earn so much money, she began to take the initiative to approach her, asking for money from her daughter, and fighting with Feng Feng for custody of her daughter. In court, Feng Baobao saw her parents cursing and attacking each other, and she was so scared that she burst into tears.
Feng Baobao worked hard to shoot nearly 200 films, so she was disgusted with this shoddy shooting life. She wanted to go to school like her peers, but her parents refused. Feng Feng always coaxed her into saying that she would go to school after two years of filming, but Feng Baobao always saw no hope. She secretly hid some private money to save tuition, but Fengfeng saw her concern and took strict precautions to take the private money away, breaking her fantasy.
At this time, Feng Feng, who was greedy for money, was obsessed with money. Feng Baobao couldn't see a penny he earned, but his father lost all his money in the casino. In any case, Feng Baobao is a living cash cow. As long as she is willing to film, the box office is guaranteed and the whole family can live a extravagant life. 65,438+03 years old, with the success of the series of martial arts films "Burning Red Lotus Temple",
When Feng Baobao 16 years old, she has grown into a girl and is no longer a child star. Feng Feng, who is deeply involved in gambling debts, has other ideas. Feng Baobao heard rumors that Feng Feng would arrange her to perform in the United States, and after the last performance, she was "sold" for $654.38 million.
She refused to believe the rumor, but when she saw her father Jean 14-year-old sister go to sea to be a dancer, she felt a chill. She was no longer willing to accept the kidnapping of her family, so she fled home and lived in a dopted mother's house. Seeing that she was out of control, Fengfeng had to agree to her study request, but refused to pay the money.
Like macaulay culkin, Feng Baobao had no emotional sustenance and began to fall in love at an early age. When she lived in a godmother's house, she met a young man who had just returned from studying in Canada. Her name is Zhao Zaiqiang, which makes her feel as if she has seen people from another world. Is Zhao Zaiqiang a college graduate or a so-called "financial talent"? When she saw that Zhao Zaiqiang had a glib tongue and knew his business, she intended to entrust him for life.
In order to solve the educational gap and different ideas between them, Feng Baobao decided to study abroad. With the support of a movie fan, she went to England to study window design and try to start a new life.
At this time, her biological mother saw that Feng Baobao had got rid of Fengfeng's control and wanted to take her daughter back to her own hands, so she rushed to England and begged her for living expenses. When she refused to pay, Chen told her an amazing truth, telling her that Fengfeng was not her biological father at all and had no blood relationship with her.
Feng Baobao, who had always trusted his father and had a closer relationship with him, could not bear the blow. She sat motionless at her desk and suffered a "temporary nervous breakdown" for a week. She finally understood why Feng Feng refused to let her go out to school regardless of her health and personality growth, and kept her on the set for filming day and night.
Middle-aged people, Feng Baobao remembered that terrible day with lingering fear. She said, "At that time, I didn't know how to express my emotions. When I am sad and disappointed, my normal reaction is to cry, but I actually smiled; When something happy happened, everyone laughed, but I cried. So do people. I don't know how to deal with people and how to react. "
In the childhood when other children enjoyed the care of their parents and school life, she was pushed around like a marionette to film, advertise and perform on stage, and the value of a child star was extremely squeezed. Her intellectual development is really imperfect.
Feng Baobao later had little contact with Fengfeng, and it was not until five years before Fengfeng's death that the relationship between father and daughter was restored. Whether she is Fengfeng's own daughter is not important to her at this time, and she no longer wants to find out. Anyway, on the balance of affection and money, Fengfeng chose money, even for other flesh and blood. After all, he made her popular and gave her a starting point for her career.
In the last six months of studying in England, she was told that Zhao Zaiqiang had a new girlfriend in Hongkong, and Feng Baobao was very nervous. Just when TVB invited her to star in a TV series, she finished her studies in a hurry and returned to Hong Kong to continue to pay attention to her boyfriend.
In this regard, Feng Baobao said: "He is the first man in my life, and traditional ethics made me decide to marry him. I firmly believe that only by dedicating' purity' to my husband can I be happy, especially when Lin Dai (a famous actress in Guangdong) committed suicide as a child, adults whispered that her marriage was unhappy because her husband was not her first man. "
Out of this pedantic idea, 1977, 23-year-old Feng Baobao swallowed his pride and married Zhao Zaiqiang, who had two feet on both sides. On the first day of her marriage, someone came to collect debts. It turns out that Zhao Zaiqiang has borrowed millions from her friends in the name of Feng Baobao. The so-called "financial talent" is just a beautifully packaged soft rice man. After the marriage, Zhao Zaiqiang's business has never been there.
Feng Baobao's dream of finding love and security in her husband was shattered. She has been filming for a long time. Help her pay her debts again. She starred in the TV series Wu Zetian, Yang Guifei and Xi Shi, and gave birth to two sons for her. However, the unequal marriage based on money has come to an end. No matter how strong Feng Baobao is, she doesn't like Feng Baobao's "never study since childhood", looks down on her very much and spends a lot of time outside.
1985, she filed for divorce with Zhao Zaiqiang, and Zhao Zaiqiang asked her to sign and admit that she had "schizophrenia" before agreeing to divorce. Finally, Feng Baobao signed it, but she lost the custody of her two sons.
Feng Baobao, who longed for love but got nothing, almost had a nervous breakdown and suffered from depression. 18 years, she had to take four pills a day to keep fit, but she could never make a movie again. When she was most depressed, she had to live in fans' homes and rely on them for relief.
She wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building. She stood in front of the window for five days, but she finally overcame her demons. At that time, she thought that she could not turn her friend's house into a "haunted house" and took back her trampled foot. Years later, she talked about Leslie Cheung's suicide and sighed: "It's all in one thought whether to jump or not. If Leslie Cheung hadn't jumped from the Mandarin Hotel, I believe he would have met a good opportunity like me, but unfortunately he chose to jump. "
At the age of 45, she met Malaysian architect Weng Zhaoquan. Weng Zhaoquan's children are fans of Feng Baobao. Under their matchmaking, Feng Baobao and Weng Zhaoquan got married, but they also divorced after 13. She said little about this marriage, and incidentally mentioned that she was considerate of Weng Zhaoquan. She is deeply grateful, but she also knows that she doesn't love him enough. They don't have the same children.
After two divorces, Feng Baobao, who had a rough life, gradually became cheerful and open-minded. In this life, my parents are thin, my son is taken away, and all the family ties she wants to rely on are far away. She returned to film and television and devoted herself to acting. After middle age, she won many film festival awards for her superb performance skills. 1992 and 1993 won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards twice in a row.
Lin Yanni, a Hong Kong writer, once said that thinking of Feng Baobao's past scenery and half-life turmoil will remind her of a chilling sentence: "As much as God gives you, you will have to take back sooner or later."
At a young age, Feng Baobao has become a talented child star who is popular all over the world, but when she grows up, she has experienced pains and twists and turns that ordinary people have never experienced: cold-blooded and greedy parents, heartless and indifferent husband, beloved son who has left her, and earned money by filming for half her life.
After 60, Feng Baobao began to accept his fate. Although she suffered from excessive filming as a child, her depression was overcome and never recurred. She deeply felt that this was a gift from God.
What makes her even more proud is that although she has not lived with her mother for a long time, her two sons have great feelings for her. In 20 15, Zhao Qizong, the eldest son, directed the film "Mommy Man" for her, which was the first time that she appeared as a movie heroine after leaving the big screen for 2 1 year. At the publicity meeting, Zhao Qizheng, the youngest son, came specially for his mother and her.
Just like the heroine in the movie, Ai, who is 50 years old, tried to rely on her father and husband to pin her future on her son, but suddenly fell into life difficulties such as divorce of her parents and disappearance of her husband. She had to struggle to grow up, shoulder the burden of life, become a self-reliant, omnipotent "superman mother" and learn to bear hardships.
After vicissitudes of life, Feng Baobao began to know how to look at his life, without resentment, hatred, self-blame and dependence, and learned to look at life positively and face life independently and confidently.
Looking back, Feng Baobao expressed her gratitude for the hardships and pains that made her learn to be strong. She said, "I am grateful for this now.".
Up to now, she is 66 years old, but she still looks calm, elegant and optimistic. She often attends public welfare activities in Hongkong, and was once the "love ambassador" of Taiwan Province Province.
