Wu Mengda, returning to the second half of his life

author:Entertainment Capital

Speaking of Hong Kong and Taiwan post-50s stars, the mainland post-80s audience's cognition and familiarity with them have opened up the circle when they are not familiar with the world. Later, if you want to know more about their stories, you need to spend some time and hearsay to penetrate the fog.

There is an element of emotional refraction, which is very strong: when we see parents and artists who are older than their parents, making a big fuss on the screen or screen, they completely ignore the matter of age, as if Jia Ling has crossed into the world of Li Huanying, and the vitality she feels is high enough to convey full of happiness and happiness.

The glorious years have created the fate of some people with a large group of children.

Of course, it is not that we did not have to look at them when we were teenagers, we have to look at them; it is not that they go from youth to middle age, or pass on the classics to old age.

Rather, the next generation of viewers maintains a special emotional bond with the previous generation of stars: the former looks down on the gains and losses of the latter, and the latter is saved by the former to peel off the memory of the human shell.

Decades after the splendor, everything returned to simplicity. Wu Mengda, as a typical comedian with symbolic characteristics and recognizable weight, he is probably the first association we have after seeing the Hong Kong imported word "gold medal green leaf" in entertainment newspapers.

This man has an elegant side and has always been worth savoring. As we all know, Wu Mengda once went from being intimate to having a gap in his heart, from cooperation to estrangement, but it is not very clear what life epiphany he obtained from another Mr. Zhou.

That Mr. Chow, code name RT-Mart, a rural person in Hong Kong's Lamma Island, was a popular film and television industry in the 1980s, the film was hot, hot on both sides of the strait and three places, the protagonist track had a bright future; and in another supporting role track, there was also a dark horse that came out, which was Wu Mengda.

Fate allows the starting point of two people to be roughly synchronized. Wu Mengda, who is harmless to people and animals, has a good appearance and is easy-going, and the reason why it is easy to harvest Zhou Runfa's friendship is in addition to personality, but also business strength.

The Hong Kong showbiz circle is so cruel, Zhou Runfa is unique and high-minded, how can there be friends, Wu Mengda can do it to let Zhou Run issue the mustard of "peers are wrongdoers" and "peers are light", and gain Zhou Runfa's trust.

But Wu Mengda's gambling habits changed all this, and the generous salary and growth prospects made him gamble thinner and thinner, and Macau became Wu Mengda's nightmare. On the road of creation and performance, he was severely restricted and negatively affected, which was not enough, lacked self-discipline and indulgence, and then took self-esteem and self-love, and then became cheeky, hob meat, self-abandonment, whose money can be borrowed, and whose money can be borrowed without repayment.

He always felt that he could pull it back, and he always felt that he was almost a little bit, as long as the time came to operate, he would immediately counterattack and kill, and the result was only to show a more crazy pathology, usury debt was built, and was chased and blocked by the Macau underworld. He Hongshen couldn't speak, and could only ask for help from He Sheng's forgotten friend and his brother Zhou Runfa.

Zhou Runfa lent him the last sum of money and asked him to write a letter of guarantee and swear that he would gamble again, that is, a dog, and then gamble, and the love would be exhausted.

As a result, the bet was not wrong.

Zhou Runfa spoke counts, severely rebuked Wu Mengda for treachery and not talking about martial arts, and Brother Fa released the heaviest sentence.

"I've never seen such a brazen person, you wait to mess yourself up, everyone will leave you"

Uncle Da's energy and momentum are exhausted, a word to wake up the dreamer does not work for gamblers, the renegade relatives are broken, and the embattled may force Uncle Da to cross the robbery, climb ashore, and restore the "creation" that belongs to man.

Wu Mengda relied on the repentance and will of pain and pain, gradually quit gambling, stepped onto the right track, honestly filmed dramas, and repaid money little by little. As a result, Buddha-nature was greatly enlightened, and his disposition changed greatly.

In the following years, Wu Mengda became a model figure in film and television cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong, and won high praise from many peers and juniors in the mainland in terms of professionalism and friendliness.

For example, in "The Wandering Earth", Wu Mengda's strict requirements for himself and respect for partners in terms of performance cooperation, script compliance, and affairs coordination have left an extremely deep impression on the crew and director Guo Fan.

If Wu Mengda was young enough, young enough to be the age of the famous mainland actor Wu Gang, he could have appeared in the movie "Mazu is a City" a few years ago and become the most accurate specimen of screenwriter Yan Geling and director Li Shaohong, because "Mazu is a City" is about: how gamblers who cannot extricate themselves continue to fall deeper and deeper after being physically and mentally exhausted.

As a Hong Kong comedian, Wu Mengda has cooperated with mainland comedian Song Dandan not less often. 2001 is Wu Mengda's 48-year-old life snake year, he and Song Dandan co-starred in the Spring Festival comedy "Home and the White Lie of Everything" broadcast on CCTV, three episodes in a row, describing an old Hong Kong man who returned to Beijing Province, nostalgia, struggling to find his old nanny and the former old mansion courtyard, Song Dandan saw this scene deeply touched, so he kindly did a humorous thing, after a series of accidental collisions, laughter and non-committal operations, pretending to be an old nanny, to meet uncle Da's wishes.

Uncle Da's Mandarin was not very good at that time, but he worked very hard. In the play, Song Dandan dressed up as a small-footed old lady, concave a shape obliquely in front of the door of the house, playing with a northeastern accent, holding the fennel-flavored scallion oil cake set by the plot, and summoning the exaggerated and funny Wu Mengda who was looking at the eyes:

Dogs ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ come to ci cake is not ?????????

The above belongs to the most beautiful retrospective clip of Wu Mengda in my impression, no one else has watched his film with Stephen Chow, but it is just as precious.

In 1998, I had not seen much of Stephen Chow's films, and for the first time I saw Wu Mengda's name on the small blackboard hung out of many VCD rental shops, along with the names of Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun, Jin Chengwu and a bunch of other people as the logo for promoting various movies, and I thought Wu Mengda was young.

Later, after mastering the outline of Wu Mengda's figure, I still made a mistake, because the great benevolent man in the movie "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", the Zhongyong Bo in "The Ancient Puzzle Boy Winner is king", and the Lei Tiger in "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" and other three role-playing chen Songyong always let me blind his face as Wu Mengda, this misunderstanding, for a long time.

Tan Yonglin, the biggest of the old stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan after the 50s, is more than seventy years old and can still sing, and everyone else is old, some of them have old Ji Futuo, Jackie Chan big brother continues to shoot, but the output is scarce; Fa Ge is semi-retired, more than 5 billion assets are ready to be charitized; Zeng Zhiwei resigned various titles, joined TVB, as an executive, presided over several business lines and departments; on the Taiwan side, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng did not exceed their wishes, and the goddessEs Zhang Aijia, Lin Qingxia, and Hu Yinmeng all have a good retirement life. An era is over, but the light of an era is always there.

Uncle Da's life has not left regrets, he made mistakes in middle age, he was highly respected in old age, and there is nothing more gratifying in life than richness and continuity. Because of the abrupt stop, Teresa Teng, who was the same year as her, Weng Meiling, Chen Baiqiang, and Zhang Guorong, who were a few years younger, were not lucky to have Uncle Da, because they had not witnessed the possibility of a turnaround in fate.

Its beginnings are simple, and its end will be great. Uncle Da, many people's social media circles, in the form of a diary on February 27, 2021, forever engraved the text about you.
