Film Career
How Xia Meng stepped into movie industry was in fact an unintentional one. In 1950,curiosity has driven Yang Meng and her friends to visit the film set of Great Wall Movie Enterprises Ltd, and this was where she was first spotted by the crews, as well as Studio manager Yuan Yang An.
Through the help of his daughter Mao Mei (later a movie star and Hong Kong Ballerina), Yang Meng accepted Yuan's invitation and joined the studio in the age of 17. Inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the new actress now renamed Xia Meng (literally means Summer dream) by Yuan, which Yuan metaphorically wished her dream come true as she joined the studio in summer.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or career:
“His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
