In the nineties of the last century, the entertainment industry was changing, and newcomers were emerging, but it was not easy to really gain a firm foothold and become an immortal legend in the hearts of the public. In that era when there was no social media, no traffic password, and all relied on works and strength to speak, Fang Jiwei successfully took over Teresa Teng with his fresh temperament and affectionate singing voice and became a new generation of "lovers in the army". He was also crowned with the title of "Taiwan's Jade Girl Head". Time flies, and now she is nearly sixty years old, her life has long returned to dullness, and the aura of the year has gradually dissipated, but her story is still worth remembering.
Fang Jiwei's artistic path started quite early. At the age of five, she was photographed by an advertising director for her delicate and lovely appearance, and she filmed a TV commercial. When she was young, she had no stage fright in front of the camera, her smile was sweet, and she was naturally smart, this experience not only gave her her first taste of the showbiz, but also planted the seeds of her love for art. As she grew older, her musical talent became apparent, and she finished fifth in a provincial music competition with her solid singing skills. This is already a great affirmation for a girl from an ordinary family.
Her family was not well-off, and she didn't have many options when she was young, so on the recommendation of her teacher, she tried to record albums for record labels. For her, it was an opportunity to help ease the burden on her family and realize her musical dreams. She walked into the studio with a sense of apprehension and anticipation, and in order to make the work more perfect, she practiced and scrutinized over and over again, striving for precision in every note. In the end, her efforts paid off.
In 1988 years, a song "Repentance" made her an instant hit. This song quickly became popular on the streets, and Fang Jiwei became a new generation of jade singers. Her sweet image and soulful singing made her quickly gain a large number of fans. Since then, her career has been soaring, and she has won the title of "Lover in the Army" for many years and has become a hot music star. She not only made outstanding achievements in music, but also set foot in the film and television industry, with her outstanding appearance and solid acting skills, she successfully won the favor of Qiong Yao, and starred with Qin Han, Liu Xuehua and other well-known actors in the TV series "Seagull Flying Caiyunfei". This drama made her acting skills recognized and made her stand out in the film industry.
At the peak of her career, she even entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and during her development in Hong Kong, she became the first Chinese female singer to appear on the Oscar red carpet, and became as famous as Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and other superstars, and was among the "Top Ten Idol Best Image Singers". However, the entertainment industry is bright on the surface, but there is a turbulent dark tide behind it. In terms of love life, Fang Jiwei is particularly low-key. She once admitted on a variety show that she had never been in love, not even an ambiguous period, and she firmly stated that unless she met the person who made her heart move, she would not give her heart easily. Such an attitude is particularly rare in the complex entertainment industry.
However, fate always seems to play a joke on people in their prime. The long-term and high-intensity work made her health light red, and she was diagnosed with thyroid follicular cancer. Although fortunately, the disease is still in the early stage and there is a high recovery rate after surgery, her agency took advantage of this to make a big fuss and privately planned a "farewell concert" to show her "life hanging by a thread" to attract more audiences to buy tickets. At that time, Fang Jiwei was struggling to recover from a hospital bed, and he had no idea about the company's "miserable" behavior.
After the successful operation, she was asked to perform on stage just after she was discharged from the hospital, and even at the concert, the company even played a clip of her surgery in public. The audience was stunned, and many people angrily questioned whether she was "hype", and the overwhelming pressure of public opinion made her exhausted. And when she tried to clarify the truth, the company became angry and banned her. In a short period of time, she fell from a popular singer to the bottom, not only was her career blocked, but she was also burdened with huge debts, and her life was difficult.
At one time, she wanted to quit the entertainment industry completely, and even had the idea of becoming a monk. But fate didn't abandon her completely, and Golden Pin Records reached out when she was at her lowest point and helped her return to the stage. She rehearsed performances, released new productions, and tried to get her career back on track. However, these experiences gave her a whole new perspective on fame and fortune. Once, she longed for the applause of the stage, but now, she cherishes a simple and peaceful life even more.
Today, Fang Jiwei is 58 years old and still unmarried, but she seems to have accepted this state of life. She no longer pursues fame and fortune, but chooses to follow her heart and enjoy her own peaceful time. Occasionally, she still participates in activities to catch up with old friends and reminisce about the good old days. The years have changed her appearance, but they have not changed her original intention.
The entertainment industry is flashy like a dream, some people chase fame and fortune, and some people choose to stick to it. Fang Jiwei's story may be a mirror, reflecting the reality of the entertainment industry, and also making people think about what is the true value of life.
