Colorful suits, combing big backs, once these words appear, I think everyone will think of the gangster big brother in the old Hong Kong films.
And our protagonist today, Long Fang, when he is dressed like this in "God of Gamblers", coupled with the black sunglasses with a round frame and a slight smile and a treacherous look, the image of the classic villain "Gao Yi" suddenly appears.
Why did Ryukata go from being a martial arts instructor to a vicious classic villain, and why has the portrayal of the villain been talked about for decades? What was the end of his life?
Born in Hong Kong in 1954, Long Fang was originally named Li Jianmin, and at the age of 17, Long Fang found an extra role in director Zhang Che's film "Two Heroes".
Running the dragon set, eating the worst box lunch, suffering from the white eyes, but as long as there is food to eat, the dragon party will take any work, such perseverance has won the favor of the director, but also let the dragon party usher in a broader world.
Zhang Husen, who is full of righteousness in "Shanghai Beach Tycoon", and Nian Qianyao, who helped Yongzheng get the throne in "Yongzheng and Nian Tangyao", are also the few positive roles played by Long Fang lord.
In those days, martial arts films were a feast for everyone. And Shao Shi was the film company that dominated the martial arts industry at that time, chu yuan and Cheng Gang, were the hottest filmmakers at that time.
Long Fang, who came to Taiwan alone, started from the most inconspicuous martial artist, and later served as a martial arts instructor for martial arts films such as "One-Armed Boxer Big Broken Blood Drop" and "Blood Jade", which were the result of his efforts. Martial arts films, at this time, gradually became his favorite career.
However, in the 1980s, due to the gradual decline of martial arts films, Long Fang went to the United States to start a professional manager career after filming two plays "Dangerous People" and "What Is Sacred".
In 1989, the action film "Supreme Supreme" needed a villain who could speak English, director Wang Jing, actor Xiang Huaqiang Tan Yonglin was the boss of Tiantian Fishing Port, and long Fang, who returned to Hong Kong as an administrative manager in Tiantian Fishing Port, volunteered to take over the role of Miyagitaro, and the box office and reputation at that time were also good, which made a good start for the later "God of Gamblers".
In 1990, her friend Wang Jing invited Long Fang to play the villain Gao Yi in "God of Gamblers". As Gao Jin's righteous brother Gao Yi, he betrayed Gao Jin's appreciation and promotion and killed his wife Zhang Min.
According to Cao Cao's heart, but without Cao Cao's position, Gao Yi, who was determined to steal the position, died at the hands of Gao Jin, and the drama of "scourge for a thousand years" was not wanted to be seen in film and television dramas, after all, the reality was difficult enough.
The success of "God of Gamblers", Long Fang also became famous with the adulterer Gao Yi, and became a well-known "rape horn" at that time. Born with a love of acting, he picked up his old business again and played a bad villain in subsequent films. The incomprehensible bridge section in reality seems to be happening right in front of the eyes under the interpretation of Long Fang, perhaps the treacherous person also represents the high, and the taste of the human being is the identity of every civilian fantasy in the dark night.
Long Fang, through the villain role Dongfang, has cooperated with Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Chow Sing Chi and others in hundreds of film and television works. When filming "The Biography of Inspector Leiluo of Five Hundred Million", he beat Andy Lau several times and three times.
He worked on the same stage with the Movie Emperor and took the opportunity to slap him twice. As long as he shoots with Andy Lau, Long Fang is his nemesis. At this time, the dragon fang in the movie can be said to be the king and hegemony.
It is also because Long Fang has always been keen to take over the role of the villain of the underworld boss, Long Fang is known as a generation of "adulterous gods" in the Hong Kong film industry.
In Long Fang's own words: I am a family of adulterers, who can rape me? Even the wife who was the most admired around him did not want to be close to him. The reason was to doubt whether he was a real underworld.
In 1990, Long Fang divorced his wife, who moved to the United States with her daughter, and since then, he has lived alone. Calling his family a traitor, it is hard to imagine how he brought the characters in the play into reality. There is no difference between human drama and this.
In "Dark Flower", which cooperated with Liu Qingyun and Liang Chaowei, he played the fierce gangster "George". At this time, rumors spread, some people said that he did not respect his father, and his family lineage was particularly excessive.
In the movie "Dragon on the Edge", a line of Long Fang, "This leg I can play for a year" not only became a hot topic at the time, but its popularity spread to the current Internet era. This sentence has been spread wantonly on the Internet, but I did not think that a "fierce and evil" bad guy invented this classic joke 20 years ago.
But the sky is unpredictable, and people have bad luck.
In 2000, he participated in the villain Zhao Zhongtian in "Life and Death Fist Speed", which was the last adulterous role he played, and Long Fang, who was a businessman, was diagnosed with cancer in Xi'an. Repeatedly in and out of the intensive care unit, pale and thin, under the cover of black-rimmed glasses, he could not hide the double torture of the mind and the body.
In 2008, at the age of 54, Long Fang unfortunately died of illness and left this world forever. What is sad is that before and after his death, Long Fang's brother and sister never showed up, and for a while his death seemed unknown.
"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green, the evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sunset mountain is outside the mountain." A long, empty tune seemed to be facing the land where Long Fang had once stood. The flute is still sounding, the sunset is still late, and the haggard Dragon Fang stands on the cliff by the sea and looks at the burning clouds in the sky, thinking about the choices he has made in his life.
Recall the indulgence in the film, like an experience in a dream. There was no one around him, and he wanted to seize the last dignity, and finally chose to slowly walk towards the cliff. It glided like a meteor against the background of a scorching red sun.
