Some people say that he is "a thousand faces like" what it looks like, when he has a beard, he is a kind grandfather, and he is an elder with kind eyebrows and good eyes. When he doesn't have a beard, he is a sinister and cunning villain who is evil.
He is Liu Xun, a native of Peking Opera who studied Peking Opera. He began to study Peking Opera at the age of 6, and has been teaching at the Peking Opera House since graduating from school at the age of 19. In 1980, he was dissatisfied with the bureaucratic atmosphere at that time and resolutely decided to go to Hong Kong to develop, and after going to Hong Kong, Liu Xun worked as a lecturer at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and began to concentrate on the study of Cantonese opera, and was also the opera teacher of the famous Tang monk Luo Jiaying.
In 1986, Xu Ke prepared the movie "Dao Ma Dan", because the character background and action design in the play needed a professional person as an opera director, Xu Ke found Liu Xun, and the film was well received after its release, and Liu Xun has been associated with the film ever since.
In 1987, he played Maoshan Taoist Shi Jian in Lin Zhengying's film "Zombie Supreme", which was also his first big-screen work.
In 1990, he played the villain Purdue Cihang in "Qiannu Ghost 2", which caused a lot of childhood shadows for many post-90s.
"South Wuji Paradise World, Western Heaven Rulai Dharma Driving Here"
"The Dharma is boundless, not according to my light instructions, there is only one way!"
Purdue Cihang
In the same year, he played Gu Gonggong in "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" directed by Xu Ke and was nominated for best supporting actor at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards, but only nominated. Subsequently, the large and small films produced by Xu Ke had Liu Xun's figure appear, and for a time became Xu Ke's golden supporting role, according to incomplete statistics, Xu Ke made more than thirty movies in total, and there were as many as fifteen films in which Liu Xun participated.
In 1991, Xu Ke played Liu Yongfu, the commander of the Black Flag Army, in the Huang Feihong series of films "Huang Feihong's Heroic Ambition";
In the same year, he played a kind and kind martyred Baiyun Zen master in "Qiannu Ghost 3", with a bald head and a white robe and long beard, which is just in line with the Chinese's heart of the Taoist monk's sense of inedible fireworks. Compared with the image of the purdue Cihang villain in the second part, the performance in this work will not make the audience naturally associate or even jump the scene, which shows the strong acting skills of the old drama bones.
Zen Master Baiyun
In 1992, Jia Gonggong, who played the head of the big three in "New Dragon Gate Inn", called it the most classic "eunuch" image in the history of Hong Kong cinema. In the scene where he met Zhou Huai'an at the Dragon Gate Inn in the movie, Jia Gonggong's expression seemed to be smiling, but in fact, he was inquiring into the truth, one second he was still drinking with Tantian, and the next second he showed his murderous spirit; seeing the killing qi gradually leaking, he could change his face in an instant, full of kindness, a sinister person who laughed and did not laugh at the strong martial arts.
In 1993, Xu Ke again invited Liu Xun to play Huang Feihong's father Huang Linying in "Huang Feihong's Lion King Battle", in which he successfully created a feudal and conservative father image with an enlightened heart, decent majesty but lovely.
Due to the fact that the image of the previous eunuch was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in 1994, he once again played Chang Wei's grandfather Li Lianying, the grand eunuch of the Qing Palace, in "Nine Pin Sesame Officials". Although Liu Xun only made a cameo appearance in Xingye's film, he interpreted this role vividly with his rich expression and grumpy eyes and "motherly" body movements, and once again left a deep impression on the audience.
Liu Xun's "yin and yang weird" performance style will make people shudder when placed in Xu Ke's films, but here it has become a hilarious nonsense joke.
Time flies, now 82 years old Mr. Liu Xun has long withdrawn from the film, looking back at Mr. Liu in the film and television industry for more than 20 years, a total of 7 TV series, 62 movies, although he is involved in supporting roles or dragon sets, it seems that a drop in the ocean is actually a profound skill. With years of accumulation on the theatrical stage, facial expression management has become a very high level, so that the roles he plays are vivid and plump, meticulous, and all of them are admirable.
For example, Xiang Qingtian in "The East Is Undefeated"
"Shanghai Beach Gamble Saint" crosses back to the Ming Dynasty father-in-law
Yan Zhen, a special function person in "Gambler" and "Modern Rulai God Palm"
The old servant of the Zhu family in "Liang Zhu"
Feng Jingyao's butler in "New on the Beach"
In the "Biography of Shu Mountain", the high-ranking monk of Mount Wutai honors the master.
There are too many and so on, there is no restriction on the attributes of the role, it can be changed at will between the decent villains, and it has always been recognized by the audience, although it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people to play the role of a eunuch, it also proves his height and achievement at the level of acting.
