In 1988, Liang Chaowei's "Absolute Double Pride" was broadcast in the mainland, which was the first time I "knew" Liang Chaowei, and I liked this "eccentric" character, feeling that he was a small fish, and a small fish was him.
Liang Chaowei's spiritual interpretation in "Absolute Double Glory"!
Later, I grew up and came into contact with more and more Hong Kong films, and I am very fortunate that the golden decade of Hong Kong films has allowed our generation to catch up, and in those years, countless classic films were born.
Among the many Hong Kong actors, in addition to Andy Lau, I personally like this "little fish" who "wanders" away from the four heavenly kings, but also seems to be above the four heavenly kings - Liang Chaowei!
Liang Chaowei in the Qingshi era
I remember that at that time, I simply liked all the roles played by Liang Chaowei, and I felt that this guy could play any role, comedy, literary film, costume film, modern film, action movie... Wait, and act like that! Later, I gradually understood that this was called - acting!
Liang Chaowei, who won the prize and got the soft hand
Liang Chaowei, who entered the industry in 1982, was 20 years old. In the 38 years since the film, he has won a total of 5 Academy Awards! 3 Golden Horse Awards Film Emperor! 1 Cannes Movie Emperor! 1 Time Asian Movie Emperor! 2 times Hong Kong Golden Bauhinia Movie Emperor! 2 Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor!
In the words of Feng Xiaogang, "Liang Chaowei is 5 powerful factions! Plus 5 idol pie" actors!
Feng Xiaogang's evaluation of Liang Chaowei at the award ceremony "5 powerful factions! Plus 5 idol pie! ”
In the words of fans, "Liang Chaowei's eyes will discharge, and every look is a drama"!
Liang Chaowei's eyes killed, and ordinary people could not resist
In the words of experts, "with him there, you are embarrassed not to give him an award"!
1. "People's Heroes", 1987, Best Supporting Actor
2. "The Killer. butterfly. Dream, 1989, Best Supporting Actor
3. "Blood Street" in 1990, after leaving wireless for the first time with Wu Yusen.
4. "The True Biography of Ah Fei", 1990. When filming this film, due to an incident, Liang Chaowei left the crew and failed to complete the shooting, and finally only a few shots were left.
5. "Hot Hand Detective" in 1992, nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor again! However, Liang Chaowei admitted to playing the main role and refused to be nominated for a supporting role. It was also from this time that Liang Chaowei opened the "Shadow Emperor Harvest Mode!" ”
6. "East becomes West" In 1993, Ouyang Feng, the "sausage mouth" played by Liang Chaowei, became the funniest classic role in the whole film.
At that time, Liang Chaowei's role was very diverse!
7. "Chongqing Forest" won the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1994! The 31st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards Film Emperor!
8. "East Evil and West Poison" in 1994, a film "set up" with "East becomes West".
9. "Rogue Doctor" In 1995, Liang Chaowei played a chivalrous doctor who "treated diseases" and "cured hearts".
10. "Spring Breaks" In 1997, he and his brother Zhang Guorong co-starred in the film. Leung Chao-wai won the 17th Hong Kong Film Awards!
11. "Dark Flower" In 1998, Liang Chaowei and Liu Qingyun's two male duels! In the same year, Liang Chaowei also starred in "Sea Flowers".

Liang Chaowei can interpret all kinds of characters in place and convey the gods
13. "Infernal Affairs" In 2002, he won the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards, the 40th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, and the 8th Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Awards
14. "Hero" In 2002, I personally thought that Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was definitely a classic, better than Wong Kar-wai's films! Liang Chaowei's performance in the film is also very exciting, and in the same year, there is also a "Peerless in the World", a prolific year!
15. "2046" won the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2003.
16 "Hancheng Raiders" In 2005, a sequel movie that Liang Chaowei did not want to mention.
17. "Wounded City" In 2006, Liang Chaowei played an excellent masterpiece.
18. In 2007, "Color Ring" won the Best Actor Award at the 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Asian Film Awards
"Infernal Affairs" seals the god-like acting skills and conquers everyone
Stop there! Personally, I think Liang Chaowei has begun to decline since then (2007). To say that there were commercial bad films in the past, such as the "Raiders" series, but that was between classic works, take time to shoot, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, after 2007, Liang Chaowei's films are very general, and some can even be said to be "very bad"! Even if it is a work with a big director, it is very mediocre.
1. "Chibi" in 2008, this film can be regarded as the "lament" of the great directors Wu Yusen and Liang Chaowei! This film declares that the two are no longer in state, and the glory is no longer there. Such a big production, such a good subject matter, wasted in vain.
Liang Chaowei in "Chibi" has a sense of crossing
2. "Generation Grandmaster" in 2011, is another "very embarrassing" film with the big director, no matter how good or bad the film is, the protagonist alone, originally should be liang Chaowei protagonist, Sheng Sheng was edited into Zhang Ziyi protagonist, Liang Chaowei has no sense of existence in the film.
"A Generation of Grandmasters" is also a bit of an impression of the fight scene in the rain of Liang Chaowei
3. "The Great Magician" in 2011, if it were not for the statistics of Liang Chaowei's films in the past two years, I would not have noticed that Liang Chaowei still has such a film. Douban's score of 6.5 points, I guess it is still based on Liang Chaowei and Liu Qingyun's old drama bones.
A film I haven't seen yet, The Great Magician.
4. "The Wind Listener" in 2012, remember a short review, very to the point" is a sincere failure! "The same genre film "The Sound of the Wind" is in front, and the classic is difficult to surpass, even if it does not seek transcendence, only to tell the story well. But just like that, it still hasn't been done, at best it's qualified!
"The Wind Listener" can only be regarded as a qualified, relatively mediocre one
5. "The Ferryman" In 2015, many people had a feeling of being deceived after watching "The Ferryman", which was unexpectedly rotten! May I ask the director, how did Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, two actors who are very good at acting and very attractive, spoil it?
The two big coffees have wasted nothing into a white waste, hey!
6. "Catch the Demon 2" In 2016, I have to say that "To Catch the Demon 1" is a good comedy magic film, but this "2" is really a bit "two". I don't know why Liang Chaowei took such a thankless film.
There are very few images that Can Be Remembered in "To Catch a Demon 2"
7. "European Raiders" in 2018, too lazy to spit on the "Raiders" series. It is also the only series of films by Liang Chaowei! But I can't figure it out, such a series that can't be mentioned, actually filmed the third part!
"European Raiders" Hey, I can't afford to spit it out
Anyway, I personally still like Liang Chaowei, but I hope that the next time he takes the film, he will take a good look at the script and the team! Stop ruining the country you've worked so hard to build for decades!
How long will it take for us to see Liang Chaowei's peak interpretation in "Infernal Affairs"?
Sometimes, I wonder how nice it would be if Liang Chaowei retired in 2007! Like Maggie Cheung, never go out of the mountains again! There are a bunch of good names left behind, and his legend will always be passed down on the rivers and lakes!
However, everything is just fantasy.
However, looking back, no matter what, Liang Chaowei's fans are still happy, at least, you can still see him acting, although he is already in decline, but as long as he is acting, there will always be hope, hoping to see the day when he returns to the peak!
But when? Do you think Liang Chaowei can return to the top?
Well, this issue will talk about here, I am the "number one silhouette".
