"Huang Liushuang? Oh, dear Yu, you know that Huang Liushuang, a Chinese doll, is in her thirties! If you want, your date should be at least a Hollywood A-list actress. Since the release of your two documentaries, countless beautiful girls have asked me for your contact information? Do you think I'm giving? Or give? ”

"......" has never heard Albert speak in such a humorous way in his life, it is estimated that it is the first profit of Qingyu Chinese Restaurant in the past two days, and the number is beyond the old man, and the old man is a little happy that he can't find the north.

But jokes are jokes. After joking with Yu Sheng, Albert happily agreed: "Dear Yu, I will help you make an appointment with the two of them, just give me a day!" ”

The name Huang Liushuang is already very unfamiliar to future generations of Chinese. But this person is the first actress in the history of Chinese film to become famous in Hollywood. Whoever writes the history of cinema is indispensable. After Huang Liushuang gradually retired, there was no trace of Chinese actresses in Hollywood for decades. It was not until the 21st century that it gradually improved.

Like Huang Zongzhan, Huang Liushuang was also born in the civilian class of Chinese Americans. His father opened a small laundry shop in Chinatown to make ends meet. The laundry business is not idle, in order to save labor. It is often the whole family of all ages who go into battle together. Wash your clothes. The money earned is not much, but it is only the cost of manual labor.

Because of her ordinary family background, Huang Liushuang has eight brothers and sisters, so her pocket money is very small. When she was young, it was a time when the art of film was flourishing in the United States. The young girl, at first sight, fell into the dream of this image and could not extricate herself. Therefore, skipping class and going to the cinema is the most heartfelt choice for Huang Liushuang. And with very little pocket money, she can save money on food. So much so that he didn't eat a few meals and eventually fell ill. But there are no regrets.

In 1919, when Huang Liushuang was 14 years old, it happened that a crew was filming outside Chinatown and needed an oriental face as a trick. Huang Liushuang recommended herself. After several years of fanatical movie-watching career, she has a deep understanding of movies. Therefore, even as a trick, it is extremely brilliant. Since then, Huang Liushuang has set foot in Hollywood.

There is a saying that scarcity is precious, and in this era, there is only one Chinese woman who can have the opportunity to set foot in Hollywood. Therefore, whenever there is a movie that requires an oriental face or Chinese to act, the director of Hollywood casting will first think of Huang Liushuang. With few people competing, Huang Liushuang took on one movie after another.

When she became famous, she was at the most glamorous and beautiful age of a woman, and a generation of elegance gradually became famous in Europe and the United States. Because of the particularity of its identity, it is often reported not only in newspapers and magazines in North America, Europe, Australia, and South America, but also in Southeast Asia, China, and Japan.

In 1928, Huang Liushuang roamed Europe, and all European countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and other countries, were shaken. By the time Huang returned to the United States in 1930, she was already a world-class star. The film contract flew like snowflakes, and Huang Liushuang struck while the iron was hot, and performed 167 stage plays on Broadway, pushing her acting career to the peak!

However, the image of the Chinese in the movies played by Huang Liushuang is only the image of the Chinese in the impression of Americans in this era. In this era, the racial prejudice of the Americans was extremely strong, and because all kinds of unreasonable treaties they signed with the former Qing were tolerated by the former Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of the Americans, the Chinese were really weak, bullied, backward and ignorant.

Therefore, in the Hollywood movies of that era that can be seen in later generations, all the images of Chinese people are barbaric, unreasonable, cunning and brutal, killing people and setting fires to do everything! Americans don't have much respect for Chinese women, and in their view, traditional Chinese women's obedience to morality is a kind of subservience to fate and to men. Ignoring the different beliefs that exist in China with a different cultural system from theirs.

Therefore, in this era, the image of a Chinese woman in Hollywood movies has never escaped prostitutes and servants. Even the world-class movie star Huang Liushuang can't escape such a role. The characters that can only be created by succumbing to discrimination are beautiful, unclean, and weak. In almost every movie, the character she plays ends up dying at the end of the story!

She will naturally not win the favor of Chinese in such a role. In 1936, Huang Liushuang returned to China and arrived in Shanghai as his first stop. Gu Weijun, Lin Yutang and everyone in the Shanghai film industry greeted him. Mei Lanfang and Hu Die were accompanied. However, other circles in Shanghai do not have good intentions towards Huang Liushuang's return to China to find her roots. The film she starred in was banned in China, and the Chinese media directly ridiculed her - her epitaph should have written that it was her death a thousand times!

Even a reporter asked directly: "Why do you want to play so many humiliating Oriental women?" ”

Huang Liushuang could only answer: "That's not my choice." Even if I don't act, there will be other actors who will act. And I will lose the only chance of 'Chinese playing Chinese'. ”

Huang Liushuang is telling the truth. In the United States at this time, many Americans have not been exposed to China, so most impressions are based on hearsay. There are many times, including Hollywood directors, that there are Chinese in the story, and there are no Chinese actors under them. They also don't give Chinese another chance to recruit a few Chinese actors. And the blonde and blue-eyed actors under his command will play the role of Chinese!

Although Huang Liushuang got some opportunities to play Chinese, most of the time, it was white-skinned Europeans and Americans who played Chinese. Huang Liushuang can play the role of Chinese as Chinese, even if the role is blunt and fabricated, but it finally retains a true image of Chinese.

However, Huang Liushuang's words obviously make Hollywood directors not like to hear it. Subsequently, "The Earth", written by the Nobel Prize-winning Pearl Sai and describing the life of Chinese in this era, was adapted into a movie. The roles of the two Chinese women in the play are both played by Caucasian actors. Huang Liushuang didn't win a role. This is a fatal blow to Huang Liushuang!

In 1937, Rena, who played the heroine of "The Earth", won an Oscar for this film. In later generations, this film was also circulated. And no matter what era, for Chinese, this film can't be watched!
