I believe that netizens who pay attention to Hong Kong movies should be familiar with Wu Zhixiong, an actor, who often appears in movies as a "gang big brother", and his every move is full of momentum.
But who would have thought that such a movie star is actually a gang big brother in reality. Not only does he love acting, sometimes the crew needs group performances, and he even brings his little brother to the scene, which is a rather dedicated actor.
"Big B Brother" Wu Zhixiong, who was also a prominent figure in Causeway Bay at that time, the prototype of the movie "Ancient Puzzle Boy", we will talk about this actor today.
Wu Zhixiong was born in Hong Kong in 1953, the family has eight brothers, because of the difficult family conditions, Wu Zhixiong dropped out of school at a very young age, entered the society to work to earn money. At that time, the environment in Hong Kong was very chaotic, and Wu Zhixiong met a group of small gangsters and joined the B faction himself.
Wu Zhixiong knows that if he wants to break through the fame, he must have a lifeless style, so he practices his skills hard, and things always rush to the front. Coupled with his great morality, it didn't take long for him to take over Causeway Bay, when Wu Zhixiong was only fifteen years old.
Wu Zhixiong at his peak can be described as brilliant for a while, according to his own statement in the interview, he had two thousand little brothers at the peak.
But being a jerk is not a serious job, Wu Zhixiong wants to find another way out, and the development of Hong Kong cinema in the 1970s was in full swing. Under the introduction of acquaintances, Wu Zhixiong entered the film world and became a dragon and tiger martial artist.
Wu Zhixiong is a righteous man, and during the shooting on the set, he will also send his younger brother to protect him. In the following years, Wu Zhixiong starred in many popular works, such as "Prison Storm", "Ancient Puzzle Boy" and so on.
Not only did he star in the movie himself, but when there was a lack of manpower on the set, he would also come to his little brother as a group actor. With his righteous personality, many big brothers in the film industry have become good friends with Wu Zhixiong, such as Zhou Runfa, Chen Huimin, etc., which can be described as a very popular.
Acting in movies can be more profitable than being a jerk, and then Wu Zhixiong's wife is pregnant, and Wu Zhixiong does not want the family to live with him again, so he retreats and wants to wash his hands of the golden basin.
In 1996, Wu Zhixiong ushered in the peak of his career, and Liu Weiqiang, the director of the film "Ancient Puzzle Boy", found Wu Zhixiong and wanted to invite him to play the role of "Big Guy B". And wanted him to be the film director, because Liu Weiqiang knew that Wu Zhixiong and the author of the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" comic "Cowboy" were very good friends.
"Ancient Puzzle Boy" can be said to be Wu Zhixiong's autobiography, the author's source of inspiration is Wu Zhixiong's personal experience, Chen Haonan's story is based on his Wu Zhixiong, and the small stutter is the nickname of Wu Zhixiong's wife.
With the help of Wu Zhixiong, the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" trilogy turned out, the investment of the three films was not much, and the shooting time was very short, but after the release, they all made a lot of money. With these three films, Wu Zhixiong also embarked on the peak of his life and became a real film bigwig.
Wu Zhixiong, who has gained huge wealth, wants to really wash his hands of the golden basin, but because of his own riotous operation, he almost broke his family and died. A financial crisis wiped out all his wealth.
In order to save his life, Wu Zhixiong wants to turn around by relying on his bad habit of "DB". But I didn't expect that the debt was more and more owed, and eventually I owed tens of millions, and even my family was blocked by the debt collector.
Wu Zhixiong wanted to find a friend to help, that is when the friend saw Wu Zhixiong falling, they all changed their faces, forcing Wu Zhixiong to even want to sell the house to pay off the debt. In the end, it was Gu Tianle who came forward to pay off tens of millions of gambling debts for Wu Zhixiong and returned half a million yuan to his wife for home.
Later, after Wu Zhixiong turned over, he wanted to return the money to Gu Tianle, but Gu Tianle directly refused. As for the reason, because Wu Zhixiong once helped Gu Tianle when he was brilliant, out of righteousness, Gu Tianle helped Wu Zhixiong pay off tens of millions of gambling debts, which Wu Zhixiong still remembers in his heart.
Later, the Hong Kong film industry was gradually exposed, Wu Zhixiong had no drama to shoot, and began to come to the inland commercial performance, a show for only 7,000 yuan, attracting many inland bosses to compete for invitations. Wu Zhixiong did not expect to be so hot, and signed twenty times in a row, each of which was full.
After that, Wu Zhixiong reported his performance fee to 50,000 yuan a piece, and in recent years, Wu Zhixiong gradually became unable to sing, so he took the money to open a restaurant and live a retirement life.
Nowadays, Wu Zhixiong's life is still quite comfortable, living with his family, but he has become a good man. No longer pay attention to the big killings on the rivers and lakes. When he was young, he lectured on morality and was a real big man in the jianghu. And now he is just a good husband, just an old man who only wants to live a plain life with his family.
