He is short in stature and ordinary in appearance, but he is known as the big brother of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and the Academy Awards are rescheduled for him, although he is not a lifetime, but he has also caused trouble because of his unobstructed mouth. He is Zeng Zhiwei.
Before we can understand Zeng Zhiwei, we need to first understand Zeng Zhiwei's father.
Tsang's father, Tsang Kai Wing, was once one of the highest-ranking detective chiefs in the Hong Kong Police Force, nicknamed "Tsang Scum".
"Scum" is a transliteration of the English word "Major", meaning that Tsang Was important in the Force.
You know, in Hong Kong at that time, it was not easy for the Chinese to get to this position.
Zeng Qirong loves to play football, and it is not unusual for his son Zeng Zhiwei to inherit his father's business. When he was a child, Zeng Zhiwei once regarded playing football as his career, and zeng Zhiwei's dream at that time was to play in the World Cup.
Thanks to his father's blessing, for a long time, Zeng Zhiwei was very comfortable. Later, Zeng Zhiwei's football became better and better, and at the age of 16, Zeng Zhiwei also represented the Hong Kong team to play in the Youth Cup in South Korea.
At that time, many people in Hong Kong's entertainment industry also liked to play football, and as soon as they came and went, Zeng Zhiwei met many friends in the entertainment industry. Zeng Zhiwei and Hong Jinbao were related to each other because of this.
Zeng Zhiwei is short, very inconspicuous among football players, but he can play all the way to the youth game, many people are privately dissatisfied with Zeng Zhiwei, thinking that Zeng Zhiwei is stained with his father's light, and then Zeng Zhiwei finally can't help it: Why do you have to say that I rely on my father's relationship?
In 1974, zeng Zhiwei was in his early 20s, he bid farewell to his football career, and under the introduction of friends, joined the entertainment circle and became a dragon and tiger martial artist.
The four words of dragon and tiger martial arts master sound domineering, in fact, in the Wuda film, the green leaves around the protagonist, in short, are thugs and minions, even if there is real kung fu, they cannot be used, or they cannot escape the life of being beaten.
The job of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist is thankless, and the salary of the white beating is not high. But Zeng Zhiwei held a playful mentality and still joined.
Dragon Tiger Martial Artist will occasionally act as a stand-in, because of his small size and thin body, so Zeng Zhiwei was a stand-in for various protagonists in the movie at the beginning, but the scene left for Zeng Zhiwei is not the flower before the moon, you and I, but various action scenes such as high-altitude jumps.
Jumping from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor, breaking the window, jumping from the roof at the foot, to another roof, which was a common thing for Zeng Zhiwei at that time.
Such a scene is very dangerous, but it is also the fastest way to become famous, and it was not long before Zeng Zhiwei was famous in the line of dragon and tiger martial arts.
Zeng Zhiwei initially developed well in Hong Kong, but later Zeng Qirong was forced to leave with his father because he accepted bribes and his status was not guaranteed, and he had to run away from Taiwan.
Zeng Zhiwei had a very hard time in those days, and once Zeng Zhiwei was ill, and more than a dozen actors from the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Division got together, and they couldn't come up with Zeng Zhiwei's medical expenses, so Zeng Zhiwei could only endure in silence alone.
Hong Kong people love to drink soup is famous, one day Zeng Zhiwei returned to the dormitory, it was very late, colleagues only left a little dish for Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Zhiwei asked, "Is there any soup?" ”
After a while, the colleague brought him a bowl of soup, and he asked the colleague, "How to do it, it is so delicious." ”
The colleague pointed to the soy sauce in the kitchen and told Zeng Zhiwei, "Mixed with boiled water and soy sauce." Zeng Zhiwei's downfall can be seen.
His friend Mai Jia could not see that Zeng Zhiwei was so depressed, so he asked him what Zeng Zhiwei would do if one day, the martial arts film was not popular.
At this time, Zeng Zhiwei had no plans for the future, and after thinking for a while, he said, then be an extra.
Mai Jia really couldn't see it, so he invited Zeng Zhiwei to work with him as a screenwriter, as long as there is a movie, he must need a screenwriter.
Therefore, Zeng Zhiwei returned to Hong Kong again, starting from screenwriting, and slowly involved in various industries such as directors and producers.
When Zeng Zhiwei returned to Hong Kong again, he had no power and no power, and his life was not good.
At that time, Zeng Zhiwei did not have any background, if he wanted to learn something in the entertainment industry, it was almost impossible to rely on one person to fight silently, and Zeng Zhiwei had to make a small mistake to others.
When Zeng Zhiwei was an assistant director for a movie, the director was drunk, and he was responsible for sending the director home.
Arriving at the parking lot, Zeng Zhiwei asked the director where the car keys were. Confused, the director took out the car keys from his pocket and threw them on the ground, letting Zeng Zhiwei pick them up.
"You can't afford to drive such a car in your life, so drive it for you today and make you addicted."
This matter was remembered by Zeng Zhiwei for a long time, and this car also became a thorn in Zeng Zhiwei's heart, and later the first thing Zeng Zhiwei did after he had money was to go to the car dealership and pick up an identical car, even if the car had been transferred seven times.
In the 1980s, Hong Kong films entered a golden period of development, and more and more comedies emerged in Hong Kong films, and Zeng Zhiwei took advantage of this shareholder wind to join the then fledgling New Art City Pictures, and together with Xu Ke, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and others, formed the "Seven Monsters of Xinyi City".
These seven people are talented, and soon after they were combined, they jointly drilled a "Best Partner".
The first two films of "Best Partner" were directed by Zeng Zhiwei, when most of the film industry in Hong Kong was controlled by Shaw Film Company and Jiahe Film Company, who knew that "Best Partner" actually broke free from the siege of the two mountains and became the box office champion of the year, with a box office of more than 20 million. Hong Kong films have also become a three-legged situation of Shaw, Jiahe and Xinyicheng.
Brothers also have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention the "seven monsters" that are entangled because of interests, ten years after the establishment of Xinyi City, it was dissolved because of uneven distribution of benefits, and Zeng Zhiwei went very early.
Leaving Xinyi City did not have a great impact on Zeng Zhiwei, after several years of hard work, Zeng Zhiwei already has independent capital.
In 1991, Zeng Zhiwei and Tan Yonglin starred together in newcomer director Chen Kexin's "Tale of Two Cities".
Since his debut, Zeng Zhiwei has created many funny little characters, but "Tale of Two Cities" has created a gentle Zeng Zhiwei. What would you do if you fell in love with the same girl as a good friend? In the end, Zeng Zhiwei defeated Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau with this literary film and won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
For Zeng Zhiwei, the movie "Tale of Two Cities" is very important, and for Chen Kexin, this movie is not ordinary, because this is Chen Kexin's first time as a director, Zeng Zhiwei has the grace of knowing Chen Kexin, and later Chen Kexin said, "Zeng Zhiwei is the person in his heart who makes him feel like a big brother the most." ”
When people are red, they are naturally a little floaty. Mr. Tsang's good fortune in Hong Kong is there for all to see, but he has also been beaten for commenting on the girl's appearance.
It is said that Zeng Zhiwei publicly criticized Joey Yung at a banquet for not looking good, when Joey Yung did not dare to compete with Zeng Zhiwei when he was a fledgling, but Zeng Zhiwei's words were told to Joey Yung's boss Yang Shoucheng.
So not long after, Zeng Zhiwei was surrounded by several strong men at the door of the bar, when Zeng Zhiwei's head was broken and bleeding, and there were many bruises on his body, and later the relevant personnel questioned Yang Shoucheng and Yung Zu'er respectively, and finally the matter was not resolved.
In July 2001, Zeng Zhiwei wore gauze to preside over that year's Miss Hong Kong pageant.
Although Zeng Zhiwei has no mouth, he likes to promote new people and treats friends with righteousness, so he has many friends in the entertainment industry.
In front of Zeng Zhiwei, Andy Lau is "Hua Tsai", Liang Chaowei is "Wei Tsai", these two movie superstars, see Zeng Zhiwei, always have to call a big brother.
Zeng Zhiwei once wanted to shoot "72 Tenants", a few phone calls, there were many friends in the circle who fully supported and agreed to participate in the movie, and finally "72 Tenants" gathered 174 stars including Jacky Cheung and Liang Tian, most of which were invited by Zeng Zhiwei with human feelings.
On April 14, 2013, this day is both Tsang's 60th birthday and the original date of the Hong Kong Academy Awards, because of Tsang Chi Wai's birthday, the Academy Awards official gave in first and changed the date to April 13.
Zeng Zhiwei's status in the entertainment industry is not insignificant.
Although Zeng Zhiwei was proud of his career, he owed a lot to his wife in private morality. Zeng Zhiwei revealed when he participated in the show that he had had three marriages, but the most widely known were two of them.
Zeng Zhiwei married Wang Meihua when he was 19 years old, they have no emotional basis, the reason why Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Meihua will marry, it is entirely because his parents are too nagging, in order to block the mouth of his parents, Zeng Zhiwei began this marriage.
Before getting married, Zeng Zhiwei confessed his situation to Wang Meihua, saying that he had not played enough and hoped that Wang Meihua would give him three years to continue to play.
On the day of the wedding, Zeng Zhiwei did not return to the marriage room, and the next three days were also drunk with his friends, completely without considering his new wife.
Before the three-year covenant was over, Wang Meihua couldn't stand it. Even though Wang Meihua had already given birth to daughters Zeng Baoyi and Zeng Yongyi for Zeng Zhiwei at that time, she still resolutely filed for divorce.
Later, Zeng Zhiwei married Zhu Xizhen again, this time Zeng Zhiwei still did not accept the heart, and then Zhu Xizhen and Zeng Zhiwei separated, Zeng Zhiwei said with no concern, he had already told her, they each took what they needed, one wanted to be rich, one wanted to be free.
In addition to the marriage relationship is often criticized, Zeng Zhiwei's lace news has not been broken, often called "salty pig hand", Zeng Zhiwei and Lan Jieying's past, but also let Zeng Zhiwei's reputation greatly discounted, becoming a stain that he can not erase in his life.
When Lan Jieying was young, she was known as "Beautiful Wutai Mountain", and her beauty was unique in the entertainment circle at that time, and everyone praised it. Because of her excellent acting skills, Lan Jieying has always taken the route of a powerful actor, with beauty and acting skills, it is reasonable to say that it should develop well in the entertainment industry, but Lan Jieying's good life has come to an abrupt end because of a violation.
In 2018, Lan Jieying's early interview video was exposed, and Lan Jieying's appearance in front of the camera was old-fashioned, and her eyes were slightly cloudy. Lan Jieying said that she had been violated by two people, but because these two people had a high status, she did not dare to call the police at that time, and could only secretly take contraceptives after the fact.
Later, it was revealed that these two people were Deng Guangrong and Zeng Zhiwei. Deng Guangrong had long since died, so Zeng Zhiwei became the target of everyone.
But Zeng Zhiwei quickly issued a statement saying that this was a slander against himself and that he had taken evidence.
Zeng Zhiwei's words are conclusive, Lan Jieying has been proved to have mental problems, can the words of a "madman" be believed? Therefore, this time, zeng Zhiwei and Lan Jieying's affairs, no one cared about it soon, and Zeng Zhiwei was still the "good big brother".
Later, Lan Jieying died, and this matter was briefly mentioned, and then returned to calm.
An old Zeng Zhiwei can not change the nature of "love to play", "love freedom", his concept of feelings seems to have an impact on his daughter Zeng Baoyi, Zeng Baoyi debuted for many years, although he had a lover, but finally ended in a breakup, and now Zeng Baoyi is also not married, but while working, while taking care of his father.
Zeng Zhiwei's life ups and downs, although there have been stains, but people in their twilight years, but still in the circle of "big brother", such a heroic life, I am afraid that the entertainment industry will be difficult to find another person.
