Lin Biqi

essential information

Acting experience

Lin Biqi in 1982 must not have understood this. At that time, she was 16 years old. Her family was at odds with each other and she didn't want to study. She was a "little girl" on the street. She was liked by director Li Dawei in an ordinary day and changed her life. In that year, Li Dawei was also a new film director. He had just moved from television to film with his master, Mai Dangxiong. The first film he was going to make was "pretty girl", which was supervised by Mai Dangxiong and directed by Li Dawei and reflected the social problems of teenagers. Both of them are determined to make "pretty girl" a semi documentary film unprecedented in Hong Kong. All of them use live radio, and the actors also use new people who are close to the characters themselves. For this reason, Li Dawei patiently wandered in the streets, looking for several beautiful and personalized "Taimei" to participate in the performance, including Lin Biqi and later quite famous Wen Bixia. Lin Biqi, who has a free and easy personality, doesn't think it's great to make a movie at all. She puts forward that "if you don't act as the heroine, you don't do it". Li Dawei agrees that she will not only act as the heroine, but also tailor the script for her, and even names the heroine "Biqi". It is Lin Biqi who has a rebellious and uncompromising character, so she can capture the special psychology of degenerating from a simple middle school student into a romantic girl, and the performance is authentic.

As for the hero of "pretty girls", director Li Dawei once considered Andy Lau, who was not famous in the film world at that time. In his autobiography "endless love", Andy Lau described in detail the process of casting

"When I opened the door of" new Hong Kong ", I noticed that all the people were paying attention to me. I thought I was as handsome as a dragon in the sky. But when I saw Li Dawei, I couldn't help sighing: Director Li was wearing a light gray suit, a pink tie, thick eyebrows and big eyes. In any way, he looked more like a "cameraman" than me. We seem to borrow from each other. Li Dawei also looked at me from head to toe, from foot to head. He nodded with a smile: "tut Tut, you are the incarnation of the hero of pretty girl!"

Finally, Li Dawei and Mai Dangxiong decided to use Mai Dehe as the hero of "pretty girl", and gave Liu an unfathomable explanation: "what we made is a semi documentary film, and you are too similar to the role of the film. I'm afraid the audience will feel like" acting "and lose the meaning of realistic film." However, the failure of "pretty girl" did not affect Andy Lau's career. In this year, he starred in "go to the angry sea" with the recommendation of chow yun fat, and performed well. In the end, he was nominated as the best newcomer together with Lin Biqi and Ma sichen. Many years later, Li Dawei and Andy Lau cooperated with each other a lot. He also served as a director of the Tianmu company founded by Andy Lau. It is true that "mountains and rivers meet each other".

The influence of pretty girls

After its release, pretty girl has created an unprecedented sensation in Hong Kong film industry and society, with a box office of more than 10 million, ranking ninth in the top ten box office films of the year. Although the film's gloomy and indifferent atmosphere, bold exposure of the dark side of society and some restricted scenes have caused widespread controversy, even the theme song "freedom in my hands" has been banned by the TV station because of the suspicion of "encouraging teenagers to run away from home": "youth is in my hands, people want to go, why should we have to deal with gain or loss..." However, the film's unique shooting techniques and directing style are highly praised, and it is still known as one of the most representative works in the "new wave of film". The heroine Lin Biqi's personal performance is recognized as the bright color in the bright color. This new comer accurately portrays the image of a fallen girl, and fully demonstrates the heroine's stubborn, arrogant, self abandonment and desolate and helpless mentality. After watching "pretty girls", the great director Li Hanxiang spoke highly of Lin Biqi and even asserted: "now everyone says that Lin Biqi is China's Yamaguchi Baihui. I think one day, Yamaguchi Baihui will be called Japan's Lin Biqi!"

Among the pretty girls

Lin Biqi was only 16 years old when she shot "pretty girl", but she worked very hard from the beginning to the end. After watching the film, the screenwriter Wen Jun once sighed: "I really don't know whether it was her fortune or our luck to find Lin Biqi to make this film. In a word, the light she brings to the Hong Kong film world is like a dose of rebellious blood, which makes everyone shocked. Rebellion is not only in her blood, but also in her rich dramatic cells. "

At the second Hong Kong Film Awards held in 1983, "pretty girl" was selected as the second of the top ten Chinese films of the year, and was nominated for eight important awards including best film and best film. Lin Biqi herself was named best actress and best newcomer. In the same year, Ma sichen, the heroine of "going to the angry sea", also won two nominations. The judges still rated Lin Biqi as the queen of the film and awarded Ma sichen the Best Newcomer Award.

Lin Biqi's brilliant future can be imagined. However, Lin Biqi's personality has not changed because of her fame. She is always a silent and even indifferent girl. When she attends film activities, she often walks away in silence, which makes the directors and producers have a headache. The success of "pretty girl" makes her win many film appointments and love. Lin Biqi, who has been lonely since childhood, does not hesitate to quit the film industry and enter the marriage palace. Her bridegroom comes from a musical family and is the younger brother of famous female singer Du Lisa.

Personal life

Lin Biqi later married the movie star fulie and had a daughter. Life is safe and rich, naturally never return to the film world. In 1987, Qiu Litao also tried to invite Lin Biqi to take part in her "the story of pretty girls", but she refused.

A wisp of starlight is fleeting, which inevitably makes people feel sorry. However, although there is not a brilliant star in the world, there is a happy woman in the world. This ending may be more happy than many movie plots and legends.
