Guan Yonghe chose Zhang Jiahui that year, perhaps she herself did not expect that after more than ten years, this man who seemed to be destined to be a supporting role for a lifetime had become popular with her, and at that time, Guan Yonghe's fame was far greater than Zhang Jiahui. It can be seen that holding "potential stocks" requires long-term strategic vision. It's just that when Zhang Jiahui really became a "wrist child", he was already in his fifties, and second, Hong Kong movies had also declined.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, many celebrities and celebrities consciously went to live streaming with goods, and two days ago, netizens exposed that Hua Shao, the "pillar of Zhejiang Satellite TV" at that time, is now also showing off in the live broadcast room, while laughing at his fatness, on the other hand, he pulled out which stars he offended that year. Among them is Zhang Jiahui.
Miraculously, there were still good people on the Internet who saved the guest program of that year, Hua Shao crossed erlang's legs and asked Zhang Jiahui some questions that did not seem to be asked, and Zhang Jiahui used his blunt Mandarin to try to maintain restraint.
During the period, I remember zhang Jiahui saying a word to Hua Shao:
You made me feel friendly at first, but then I thought you were particularly unfriendly.
When he said this, he suddenly made people think that he was a particularly cultivated person. Neither exploded nor left in anger. But everyone could sense that he was angry.
I don't remember whether it was before or after this incident, once Zhang Jiahui was also a guest on a program in the mainland, and after filming, he said to all the staff:
I know you all call me "Scum Hui" behind your back!
Everyone was happy...
At that time, "slag slag Hui" has become a nickname for many people for Zhang Jiahui because of the endorsement game, until today.
To this day, few people do not know that there is a Zhang Jiahui in Hong Kong.
There is a book on the market called "There is a Hollywood in Hong Kong", "Hollywood" is the Hong Kong people's pronunciation, that is, "Hollywood" means. This book tells the story of Hong Kong film culture and the filmmaker film and television of representative figures for nearly 30 years. Some of the chapters mention Zhang Jiahui, but not much.
Indeed, at that time, Zhang Jiahui was neither popular nor excellent among many superstars. He has acted in many Hong Kong dramas, and also played some villains when he was young in his early days. Because he was really ordinary looking, not very tall, very thin. Later, under the impetus of director Wang Jing, he co-starred in two or three "double male protagonist" movies with Andy Lau and Zhou Xingchi, even if it is a bad film, the good villain is also the male protagonist. But unfortunately, for half of the decade of the 1990s, he was still not accepted by the audience, when Hong Kong had returned, Hong Kong films gradually weakened, and mainland audiences always thought that he would only clumsily imitate Stephen Chow's cottage nonsense.
Because he is an actor exclusive to commercial films, so I have seen all his works, it should be said that Zhang Jiahui is a very pragmatic actor, like his predecessors and peers, graduated from the artist training class, did not read much books, nor received a very systematic performance training, at least in the eyes of his counterparts in the mainland, the diploma of Hong Kong artists has always been quite "suspicious", so Zhang Jiahui, who was born in the city, is very approachable, whether it is when he is still a "horse boy" or after "becoming famous".
His contemporaries He Baosheng, Ma Junwei, Liang Rongzhong, etc. were either monks, or turned into behind-the-scenes, or turned to real estate, but he did not hesitate to spend acting. Even in the most popular years of Hong Kong dramas, Zhang Jiahui did not gain any audience popularity. Everyone likes stars who "repeatedly jump horizontally", such as Chen Xiaochun, who can dance and sing, and Tao Dawei, who acts and cherishes. Zhang Jiahui is very sad to think of it in it, after all, even if he is a cousin, "Black Fly Brother" Jacky Cheung's emoji on the netizen's mobile phone is more influential than him.
Some people even wrote examples of several men and women who were not red at that time, Zhang Jiahui was impressively listed, and was asserted that he could never "support the wall", and when the male protagonist did not play.
By this time the 21st century had entered.
I don't know why, Zhang Jiahui has been dormant for nearly a decade. He was in his forties at the time. He was still acting, but rarely moved his work center to the mainland like other Hong Kong actors. The types of performances are also more mixed, from embarrassing comedies to deep literary films, as well as gangster movies starring a bunch of "old people". Either way, people either focus on the other lead actor or simply ignore him.
Few people would have thought that in 2013, he would completely convince everyone with a "Guild Wars".
As mentioned earlier, Zhang Jiahui has always given people the impression of being thin and small, until the time of "Guild Wars", his strong triceps and pectoralis major muscles and vest line have made people mistakenly think that this shape is a visual effect of PS. However, the publicity of this film did not praise Peng Yuyan's appearance, but focused on Zhang Jiahui's training, and very professionally presented the status and process of how Zhang Jiahui trained in a complete way through the form of a documentary.
So Zhang Jiahui let the mainland audience face it for the first time, and everyone knew that an actor in his forties was actually shaped, and his acting skills were not lost to any of the big stars at that time.
Zhang Jiahui's later film remuneration is not known, but the works he starred in also paid more and more attention to quality, and officially had his own personality precipitation and character characteristics. Simply put, Zhang Jiahui is no longer funny or funny, and when he enters the camera again, there is some deepness and coldness in his eyes, and he laughs a lot. Even he vaguely had the appearance of Zhou Xingchi:
Create your own script, be a director and lead actor, and shoot some of your own focused content.
In 2015, a "Topy Exorcist" was named the best ghost film in Hong Kong in the past two decades, with a novel idea and unique concept. The sense of localism is particularly strong, and it is not a crude imitation of Keanu Reeves's "Constantine". Zhang Jiahui plays a natural yin and yang eye in it, using the most incredible "earth method" exorcism of ordinary people, but without the exaggeration of Zhou Xingchi in "Night of the Returning Soul", but a serious "wild" exorcist.
The film is mentioned because there is a scene in the film:
Zhang Jiahui exercised in the house, using the fat quick-burning method. This picture reminds me of "Guild Wars" again, so I think Zhang Jiahui is a good actor. Every play he has since, to some extent, has a bit of previous precipitation.
Among the few remaining "old drama bones" in Hong Kong, such a person is already rare.
Later, in "Sweeping Drugs", "Equator" and two "Apostle Walkers", basically Zhang Jiahui's character positioning and "typhoon" were also fixed, except for some Suitable New Year films, Zhang Jiahui's image has always maintained wisdom, rationality, coldness and some gentleness.
I think this may still be related to his experience of being born at the bottom and mixing with the bottom .
Wang Jingdu "saved" people, tossed for more than ten years and actually "salted fish turned over" to catch up with many artists of the same age as him but became famous earlier than him. Therefore, mentioning the "potential stock" mentioned at the beginning is embarrassing for Guan Yonghe and comfort for Zhang Jiahui. But in any case, everyone can hardly see the gossip outside of his acting, except that after he became famous, paparazzi filmed him lazily basking in the sun on the beach, and mocked that as long as he did not shoot, he did not exercise, so that all the muscles disappeared.
But gossip has never been trustworthy in Hong Kong. The audience can only occasionally taste it when they see Zhang Jiahui on the screen:
This "slag slag hui", it seems that the works he starred in are quite level.
However, I think Zhang Jiahui should not care too much, he is like many predecessors of Hong Kong artists, but he just takes acting as a craft for eating, does not look up to himself, and does not underestimate himself. Therefore, he can also calmly say in the face of the rudeness of others:
You are particularly unfriendly.
There are many actors like Cheung Ka-fai in Hong Kong, some late and some alive. There are those who are lucky enough to eat acting all the time, and there are also those who are unfortunately forced to change careers. Zhang Jiahui should be one of the more representative "Mesozoic" actors among them:
There was a chance to catch food, but there was no chance to endure. But there are always some small blessings:
I have a good wife, do you have one?
