Marvel's new film "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" has been launched on the Us network, and China has also released resources at the same time.
The film was previously controversial because it involved roles that might insult China, so it failed to introduce the mainland screen. The controversial role is named Xu Wenwu and is played by Liang Chaowei.
The character is based on Fu Manchu: an insulting image born from the "Yellow Peril" of the United States in the last century.
Of course, Marvel now does not dare to shoot like this, and Xu Wenwu has long been changed to a blur. According to the comments of fans who have seen it: "Liang Chaowei is a villain in it, but he is a desperate husband who happily goes out to buy vegetables and comes home but finds that his lover is gone." ”
No matter what everyone thinks about the film, Liang Chaowei's acting skills are all praised: "Liang Chaowei supported the whole audience." ”
"Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" has become a box office hit on the other side of the ocean and is now the annual champion of the North American box office.
Liang Chaowei, who is 60 years old and honored, has taken over the Hollywood comic book reform masterpiece, and his creativity has not diminished that year. How did Liang Chaowei, who is affectionately known as the "Ten Thousand Fans" movie emperor, come to this day step by step?
If you want to find a few spokespersons for the "grassroots spirit" in the Hong Kong showbiz circle, I think we will not bypass Leung Chao-wai and Stephen Chow.
The two have similar childhood experiences: both are single-parent families, both have an irresponsible father, both drop out of school early to work, and even their birthdays are only 5 days apart.
Liang Chaowei has autism, which is a change that occurred after his father ran away from home. He was also a mischievous child, but living with his mother and sister in his uncle's house made him inferior.
He was reticent, afraid that others would say he was a child without a father. Difficulties in integrating into the school environment made his academic performance worse, coupled with the family's financial difficulties, and finally had to drop out of school at the age of 15, in a variety of low-level jobs.
When Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi met, they were only teenagers, but they both admired Bruce Lee.
So Zhou Xingchi, who wanted to be a kung fu superstar, took Liang Chaowei up the mountain to shoot an 8-minute short film, Liang Chaowei played the villain, and finally was KO By Zhou Xingchi...
In 1982, Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei were 20 years old, and the life experience at the bottom did not bring them earth-shaking changes, and they urgently needed a chance to change their lives against the sky.
At this time, TVB's wireless artist training class opened a new round of enrollment, and Zhou Xingchi felt that he could try it, so he pulled Liang Chaowei to register together.
In addition to the 10 yuan registration fee, there is no fee for the training class, and there will be a subsidy of 10 yuan per day after admission, which is perfect for Liang Chaowei, who has a poor family.
As a result, Zhou Xingchi, who dragged Liang Chaowei to go, was not selected, and Liang Chaowei was successfully admitted. Zhou Xingchi was later introduced by his neighbor Qi Meizhen, and was admitted to the night training class of the 11th wireless artist training class, and became a classmate with Liang Chaowei.
After Liang Chaowei graduated, he was assigned to the TVB children's program "430 Shuttle", which was a bit embarrassing for Liang Chaowei.
Although he is extremely talented in acting, Liang Chaowei, who is prone to shyness, likes to put himself into another role, and "becoming someone else" makes him feel at ease. Children's programs need to do some exaggerated actions to make children happy, and Liang Chaowei can't let go.
Fortunately, heaven took care of him, such a day did not last long, and soon he was transferred to shoot a TV series, and together with Tang Zhenye, Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, and Andy Lau, 4 brothers and sisters, formed the "Wireless Five Tigers" hand-picked by the boss Run Run Run Shaw.
Liang Chaowei, who is walking in the clouds, has not forgotten his good brother Zhou Xingchi, and he recommended That Xingye to take over the children's program "430 Shuttle" for him, partnering with Zeng Huaqian.
The "Wireless Five Tigers" have been extremely successful, the popularity has soared, and TVB naturally wants to renew its contract. But at that time, Andy Lau intended to enter the film industry, so he privately negotiated with four other people and planned to collectively jump ship.
As soon as the TVB executives saw how this worked, they adopted the strategy of "differentiation and disintegration, one by one breaking down", starting with Liang Chaowei, who needed to make money to support his family and had poor anti-risk ability, and coerced and induced him to sign a contract renewal contract.
After many years, Andy Lau expressed his understanding, after all, leaving TVB to go outside is definitely not as secure as renewing the contract. But Hua Tsai still refused to sign the contract, and had no choice but to be hidden by TVB for a year.
This later became the source of the "discord" between Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau. Time has passed, and both of them should be relieved.
After the renewal of the contract, Liang Chaowei received the blessing of TVB's high-quality resources and starred in Jin Yong's adaptation of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", playing the role of Zhang Wuji.
In the field of film, Liang Chaowei is also smooth sailing. Since his 1987 appearance in Kwan Kam Peng's "Underground Love" was nominated for best actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Leung Chao-wai has embarked on his path of film emperor all the way.
In 1988, he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "People's Hero" directed by Er Dongsheng, and continued to win the Best Supporting Actor with "Killer Butterfly Dream" two years later, during which he became internationally famous for starring in Hou Xiaoxian's famous work "City of Sorrows".
He played the deaf and mute "Lin Wenqing" in "Sad City", without a single line of silence, like Liang Chaowei, who was plagued by autism.
And Liang Chaowei's mood at this time also fell into a low tide period, first of all, he often borrowed wine to pour sorrow because he could not get out of the role.
Such a thing as "too deep into the drama" can be said to be the norm in the delicate and sensitive Liang Chaowei, who acted in the TV series "New Brother Zha" with Maggie Cheung when he went crazy and collapsed and cried after returning home.
More importantly, Liang Chaowei felt that his performance had also entered a bottleneck period, and he had lost interest in acting, did not make progress, and even wanted to stop there.
At this time, he met Wong Kar-wai, a man who changed his life.
In 1990, Liang Chaowei, who ended his contract with TVB, formed "The Legend of Ah Fei", and the film gathered Zhang Guorong, Maggie Cheung, Liu Jialing, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and other superstars, and the lineup was dreamy.
Wong Kar-wai fiercely adjusted Liang Chaowei's acting skills, and a shot of eating pears was filmed 27 times, and he also ate 27 pears.
Liang Chaowei went home and cried, and he doubted whether he really couldn't act well.
Painfully contemplating the pain, Liang Chaowei worked hard to figure out the role and enter the state. In the end, Wong Kar-wai, who especially loves to delete scenes, left the last long shot to Liang Chaowei.
This image, which is almost detached from the main body of the film, has an infinite magic and has become an important highlight of "The Legend of Ah Fei". Liang Chaowei realized that he could still make progress.
Since then, the cooperation between Leung Chao-wai and Wong Kar-wai has been out of control. From "Chongqing Forest" and "Spring Break", to "Fancy Years", "2046", and most recently to "A Generation of Grandmasters", it can be said that he has hardly been absent from Wong Kar-wai's works.
And these works have also brought him countless awards and honors, including film emperors and international reputations, directly laying the foundation for his status as a brother in chinese film acting.
If a man has a face of Liang Chaowei, coupled with a pair of deep eyes like that, I am afraid it is difficult not to charm a large number of women.
There are many actresses who have passed on the scandal with Liang Chaowei, including the famous Maggie Cheung, the runner-up Zhou Jialing of Hong Kong sisters, and more Zhou Xun, Dong Jie and Tang Wei in the mainland.
But Liang Chaowei always loved Liu Jialing, who was set up by the "big heroine".
Speaking of their fate, it has to be traced back to the TVB wireless artist training class, when Wei Zai first looked at not "Jia Lingjie", but Zeng Huaqian, who was known as "a flower in the class".
That's right, the girl who hosted a children's program with Stephen Chow mentioned earlier.
At a bar party, Liang Chaowei boldly showed his love for Zeng Huaqian, and the two soon fell in love.
During this period, Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei cooperated several times, but there was no spark.
Zeng Huaqian's family is well-off, and she does not understand liang Chaowei's poor background and the need to work hard to support the family, and the difference in values between the two leads to constant quarrels, which has led to the later "three-in-three points".
During the second breakup, Liang Chaowei fell in love with Li Meixian, the same group in Jin Yong's drama "YiTian Slaughtering Dragon", for two years, but it was only two years better.
Just when Zeng Huaqian changed her mind, Liang Chaowei immediately reunited with him again, which also caused a lot of criticism from public opinion.
Zeng Huaqian actually has a deep affection for Liang Chaowei, often in order to wait for him a phone call, he kept vigil in front of the landline all night, and repeatedly declared that "the biggest gain in entering the entertainment circle is to find such a boyfriend."
Immersed in love, she was gradually reduced by love to her career.
Although people often say that "long time will be divided, long time will be together", but "long time will be together" in the end still failed to appear in "Liang Zenglian".
After the two quarreled for the third time, Zeng Huaqian looked for her girlfriend Liu Jialing to complain about Liang Chaowei.
Liu Jialing was very sympathetic after listening to it, and she just happened to be working with Liang Chaowei in the stage play "Flower Heart Big Husband", so she went to ask for explanations for her girlfriend.
As a result, the two chatted, and Liang Chaowei, who was sensitive and inferior, made Liu Jialing feel sad, she knew too well the pain in the background of that birth.
It was 1988, the two officially married, zeng Huaqian was out of the game permanently. Zeng Huaqian, who thought that her ex-boyfriend could return again, was shocked to drop her jaw, and since then she and Liu Jialing have "not worn the sky together".
Of course, after many years, the two finally reconciled, which is the last word.
In the decades of accompanying Liu Jialing, they have supported each other and have long become dependent on each other.
In 1990, Liu Jialing was kidnapped, and Liang Chaowei resigned to Wong Kar-wai to perform "The Legend of Ah Fei" to concentrate on accompanying his girlfriend;
In 2002, the nude photos taken when Liu Jialing was kidnapped were exposed by the East Weekly, and the Hong Kong circle was in an uproar, and Liu Jialing was in pain, sitting at home and washing her face with tears.
Liang Chaowei pushed off the drama contract for this reason, accompanied her at home, and said: "This circle is so dirty, you have to quit, I accompany you, don't shoot the drama, we can go to other countries." ”
Soon, Mui Yanfang, then president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, launched a condemnation campaign called "Heaven and Earth Are Not Tolerated", and 500 artists such as Zhang Guorong, Jackie Chan, Tsang Chi Wai, miao Qiaowei and other artists took to the streets and publicly burned "East Weekly".
Fortunately, Liu Jialing is an extremely strong woman, and after experiencing such a storm, she can still take to the streets and insist on accountability to the end: "I am stronger than I imagined." ”
Lan Jieying, who had a similar experience with her, was not so lucky, was raped by two big men in the circle, and died in a trance and desolation in her old age.
In short, in the twenty years of love run, Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing, although they always have lace news, they are still able to break the rumors of the breakup and insist on getting married in Bhutan, a Buddhist country, in 2008.
Even after marriage, Liu Jialing still has a bold style and does not see convergence, but Liang Chaowei seems to have endured it.
Everyone was puzzled, but Wei Zai said, "Only when I hear Jia Ling's voice can I feel like I have returned to the human world." ”
Such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge. Liu Jialing's strong female personality is not known how much wine has been blocked for Liang Chaowei and how much he has saved his heart.
They were accomplished by each other, inseparable, freed from the shackles of the flesh, able to come back no matter how far they flew out, and they had long regarded each other as relatives.
This kind of love is very human, and mortals such as me can only envy it.
Or rather, when both people are good enough to be qualified to try a different way of getting along! I wish them happiness.
