<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > Teddy Robin</h1>
Can you believe that a man of one meter and a half is actually the godfather of stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
He once helped Chow Yun Fat break the siege and promoted Andy Lau, and even the most popular Hui Guanjie and Tam Wing Lin were his little brothers, and they were also the leaders of the Hong Kong Chinese music scene.
Teddy Robin's original name was Guan Weipeng, because of a serious illness when he was a child, his parents took him to Hong Kong to treat him in order to find a doctor, and after the illness was cured, his parents saw the development of Hong Kong and decided to stay here to work.
Teddy Robin's parents may never have imagined that a decision at that time would actually make China have one more wizard.
Although Teddy Robin's illness is better, he is not tall, and can only stay in one meter and five meters forever.
However, fortunately, Teddy Robin does not care about his height, and he often laughs at himself in the Lotte Sect, which leads to his popularity in school, and many people are willing to be friends with him.
At that time, Hong Kong was very popular with European and American rock bands, and Teddy Robin followed suit after watching it, and formed a band "Playboy" with a few of his good buddies, with him as the lead singer.
Although he doesn't look like a playboy, his voice and arrangement make people quickly ignore his appearance and become obsessed with his talent.
"Playboy" was very popular in Hong Kong, and Teresa Teng, whom we now know as A.D., was their fan at the time, and playboy published more than 20 albums before and after his debut, and many of the songs they sang, such as "Night Fragrance" and "True or False", were the hottest songs of the 60s of the last century.
At that time, not to mention the whole of China, but the whole of Asia, there was a place for the "Playboy" band.
In the late 1970s, when pop bands were in decline, Teddy Robin had to break up the band and wandered to Canada for five years.
Five years later, Robin Teddy returned to Hong Kong, only to find that Hong Kong was no longer a pop rock paradise, and the hottest song at this time was Cantonese songs.
As the king of rock and roll, Teddy Robin certainly does not change his style easily, he decided to change tracks, so he stepped into the film and television circle in Hong Kong.
If not to mention that Teddy Robin is a wizard, in addition to singing, he also has two brushes on his movies.
The image of the vitriolous and mean caged people he played in "Cage Friends" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and later he successfully won the Hong Kong Academy Awards Best Supporting Actor award with "Fight in the Ring", becoming a film and television singer in the entertainment industry.
But how can Teddy Robin be satisfied with the current results, he began to work on one of his own films, "Point Point Soldier", in this movie, Teddy Robin is not only the executive producer, but also made a cameo role in the play Johnny.
This film can be said to be the pioneering work of the Hong Kong police gangster theme, the play added a lot of chase scenes, robbery scenes, fire and drama, etc., while paying great attention to the scheduling of the scene, in the era when the audience is still digesting Cantonese films, such films can be said to be directly addicted.
In fact, there have been police films in Hong Kong before, such as "Jumping Ash" directed by Leung Pu-chi in 1976, but due to the monotony of the picture, the character portrayal is not vivid enough, and it is really difficult to compare with "Point Point Soldier".
It is worth mentioning that in this film, Teddy Robin is not only a producer, but also a music director in the film, and at that time, in order to show that there were many people, he wrote his name as his real name Guan Weipeng.
This movie made Teddy Robin a big name in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but Teddy Robin is not the kind of person who has done a lot of work, even if he has so many honors, when others ask him the secret of success, he will say: "Good luck, there is no secret." ”
In 1980, when Xu Anshan's film "The Story of Hu Yue" was ready to start filming, the lead actor Zhou Runfa did not appear for a long time.
Because the Shaw Group believes that Chow Yun Fat will not become popular because of this drama, he wants to unilaterally terminate the contract, but the film is about to start shooting, and Teddy Robin, who is the supervising producer, can sit idly by, so he came to the Shaw Group to negotiate with the senior leaders and asked to continue to perform the content of the contract.
Finally, under the argument of Teddy Robin, Shaw finally released Zhou Runfa, and this movie has become Zhou Runfa's masterpiece, not only winning Zhou Runfa, but also winning the popular female lead Actor Zhong Chuhong.
And the story between him and Andy Lau is even more legendary.
At that time, Andy Lau was just a nobody, in a performance, Teddy Robin met Andy Lau, at that time he thought he was a good seedling to act in movies, so he recommended it to the movie he supervised and produced, "Caiyun Song".
But the director did not value Andy Lau's appearance at that time, and only arranged a very small role for him, but Hua Tsai did not dislike it, but cherished this role very much, relying on the role of running dragon sets, becoming a superstar.
Now in his 70s, Teddy Robin is still creating, hoping that this fancier can write better works.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > Lu Guanting</h1>
Luo You of the movie "A Good Life" may be everyone's first impression of Lu Guanting, and lu Guanting's performance in the film is very exaggerated and funny.
After watching this film, many people will probably think that Lu Guanting is just a comedian, but in fact, he is not just an actor, he is also a singer and composer.
In Hong Kong, a profession like Lo Guanting is likely to be buried without the right person to introduce him, and he will have a good life.
When he won the National Creative Competition, he met his current wife, Tang Shuchen, who is not an ordinary person, but a talented woman.
Due to the obstruction of the development of returning to China, Lu Guanting came to the bar to sell singing, when Tang Shuchen asked him why he bent down to sell songs in the bar, Lu Guanting captured Tang Shuchen's heart with a sentence, and he said to Tang Shuchen: Life is like this.
Tang Shuchen had interviewed many people, and she had thought that Lu Guanting would say something like Huai Cai was not met, but she did not expect that Lu Guanting would be so open-minded, and over time, the exchange between the two people would increase.
Gradually, Tang Shuchen was attracted by Lu Guanting's talent, in order to be able to help his lover, Tang Shuchen began to silently run for Lu Guanting behind his back, so that more people knew his talent, and Lu Guanting only needed to make music at will, Tang Shuchen was his best Bole and guide.
Lo Guanting did not live up to his wife's painstaking efforts and became a popular soundtrack artist in Hong Kong movies.
He has successively served as a music designer in films such as "Gamble Saint", "Gambler", "TrickSter Expert", "Truant Weilong 3", "Shaolin Football" and so on, almost running through most of Zhou Xingchi's early films to the present.
The song that made Lu Guanting completely popular was "The Love of a Lifetime" that he and his wife arranged and wrote together.
This song is the theme song of the movie "Journey to the West", written by Tang Shuchen and composed by Lu Guanting, the lyrics and arrangement are natural, and this song has also become the love work of Tang Shuchen and Lu Guanting.
There was once such a question in Zhihu: How to evaluate Lu Guanting?
There is an answer that tugged at the heartstrings: I don't know how to evaluate. Talk about feelings. Six or seven years ago, in addition to the love of my life, the others felt that the sound was so strange that they tasted it. Recently, I listened to the songs of Lu Guanting's "2050" concert, and as a result, almost every capital had to cry, especially the songs he sang with Li Zongsheng. Not only is it the kind of vicissitudes that precipitate, open-minded and relieved, only willing to be yourself, but also the kind of true temperament, that kind of infatuation, which is vividly expressed in the song.
This is probably the charm of musical talents, when they are young, they feel ugly, but when they grow up, they dare not listen to it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="69" > Peter Li</h1>
Can you imagine that? The pearl in "Deer Ding", Luo Bin in "Ancient Spirit Detective 2", wang sir in "Truancy Weilong", is actually a famous lyricist in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
Many of Xu Guanjie's popular songs, such as "Zhiyin Dream Seeking", "Midnight Whisper" and so on, are all written by Peter Li.
In addition to Xu Guanjie, he has cooperated with Zhang Guorong, The Little Tigers, and Mei Yanfang, especially Zhang Guorong's "Monica".
In 1983, Zhang Guorong and his mentor Li Xiaotian, who had suffered successive setbacks on the road of music, came to the Tokyo Music Festival to watch the performance, and were shocked by a song "Monica", Zhang Guorong immediately took the copyright of the song and returned to Hong Kong to find someone to refill the lyrics.
After returning to Hong Kong, Lai Xiaotian found that it was most appropriate to choose and choose to go, so he wanted to ask Peter Lai to go out of the mountain to fill in the words for Zhang Guorong.
At that time, Li Peter was reluctant to fill in the words, after all, he had always been Xu Guanjie's lyricist before, but he could not resist the persuasion of the big guy Li Xiaotian, and finally took over the song.
At that time, Peter Li was losing love, listening to this cheerful tune, it was really difficult to write the sweetness of love, so he did the opposite, and wrote his regrets about the loss of love in this song.
Unexpectedly, this contrast formed a wonderful chemical reaction, Zhang Guorong's "Monica" became a hit, and this song became the last song after Peter Li retired from the song world.
After quitting the music scene, Peter Li began to transform into an actor, and has starred in more than 80 films are small roles, I don't know if you remember the teacher of Lefu in "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", which is a role of Peter Li.
Recalling the role, he said that the scene was filmed for one day, but the tattoos on his body could not be washed off for a week, which was too unforgettable.
Although they are all small roles, Peter Lai's acting skills and professionalism have always been in every industry, and in 2008 Peter won the Musical Achievement Award from the Hong Kong Composers and Lyrics Association.
Mediocre looking but talented, such Peter Li deserves more awards.
Seemingly unremarkable, but with the same talent as a genius, whether it is acting or making music, they are always conscientious and down-to-earth. This dedication is the only secret to their success.
