There are many artists in the Hong Kong film industry who develop amphibians and multi-habitats, such as the Four Heavenly Kings, Zhang Guorong, Mui Yanfang, etc., each of which is a two-handed singing and acting.
But there are also some who are good at disguise, they are ostensibly comedians, but they are actually musical geniuses.
01, "Love of a Lifetime": Lu Guanting
Those who have watched "Journey to the West" will not forget the episode "Loved in a Lifetime", and some people say that after understanding "Love of a Lifetime", they really understand what is sadness and helplessness.
Later, Xingye used it as the theme song in "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", conveying that his favorite is Miss Duan. (The most widely circulated saying, Miss Duan is Luo Huijuan, Zhou Xingxing's first love)
The interlude "Love of a Lifetime" is composed and arranged by Lu Guanting, and his wife Tang Shuchen fills in the lyrics, the two people are united, and the talent is matched with a beautiful person, which is a good story in the circle.
In addition, Lu Guanting also contracted the music design of more than 100 other classic Hong Kong films, whether it is the theme song or the soundtrack. (The picture below is "Gambler")
For example, Stephen Chow's movies "Jackie Chan Wangfu", "Gambler Saint", "Gambler", "Truant Veyron 3", "Shaolin Football", etc., almost witnessed the era of Zhou Xingchi from Star Boy to Star Master.
In addition, Zhou Runfa movies often look for him, "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Blood Double Male", "Hero 3", "God of Gamblers", etc., the most impressive is the god of gambling Gao Jin's appearance of the divine comedy, the man with BGM can not afford to provoke.
For Lu Guanting, music should be focused, and acting is just a play. However, he has played a sense of luxury, leaving many classic roles in Hong Kong movies, and every time he sees his eccentric face, he can't help but make people laugh.
The "Rich and Powerful" series was a typical small and broad in that year, filming the localized life atmosphere of Hong Kong, and the family of Uncle Biao and Aunt Biao was a portrayal of the small citizens of Hong Kong, portraying their psychology of wanting to get rich.
The "Mao Mao" played by Lu Guanting is also an important role in this series, whether it is competing with Zeng Zhiwei to be the son-in-law of the uncle, or getting along with his brother later, he has contributed wonderful performances.
On the gag, he is a must in "Corpse Heavy Land" and "A Good Life", and Wu Junru can be called the best partner.
"Corpse Heavy Land" is a "duanzi" movie created by Liu Zhenwei, basically laughing to the end of the whole time, Lu Guanting contributed a lot of golden sentences: What you grabbed is not my belt.
"A Good Life" is full of creativity, is a rare starring work of Lu Guanting, he and Wu Junru are a bad gambling couple in it, the two make deals with ghosts, and they have to spend ill-gotten gains every day, otherwise their lives will ascend to heaven.
Lu Guanting has a comedic face, it is indeed a pity that he has not been acting, it is worth looking forward to his appearance in Mai Junlong's "Wind Forest Volcano", I hope that this movie will not put pigeons anymore.
02, the best bass player in Hong Kong: Shan Liwen
There are many labels on Shan Liwen, such as excellent musicians, the best bass players in Hong Kong, Ximen Daguan professionals and Mui Yanfang's ex-boyfriend.
He has spent time in the heavy metal rock band Chyna and the "Blue Warrior" band, is the soul of the band, and is a very good friend of Huang Jiaju, when Jiaju left, he was one of the coffin bearers, and once worked as a bassist on the "I Am a Singer" show.
It is worth mentioning that he and Mei Yanfang had a relationship, and Mei Gu once commented on Shan Liwen: romantic, stubborn, strong personality, and his appearance is also very handsome and dashing.
It is difficult to imagine such a handsome and dashing person, who is well known to the audience by the role of "Ximen Daguanren", and has starred in this image 5 times before and after, and is known as the spokesperson of "Ximen Qing".
From the collaboration with Wang Zuxian on "Pan Jinlian's Previous Life and Present Life", to Li Hanxiang's "Golden Bottle Wind Moon" and "Young Girl Pan Jinlian", to the 5-episode film series "Golden Bottle Plum" with Yang Simin, and the "Hate Lock Golden Bottle" with Wen Bixia.
Shan Liwen's ancient costume is excellent, the image of Ximen Daguan he created is from the book, the temperament is quite classical, growing in our aesthetics, and excellent acting skills, almost reached the point of unity between people and roles, after Shan Liwen, there is no Ximen official.
Although he is a professional household, his play path is not restricted, he can be the sinister and cunning Hussein in "Gambler", and he can also play the dirty cousin in "City Hunter", and he can also control the "good baby" Gao Yanei in "The Heroic Nature of Water Margin".
The TV series also has remarkable achievements, in "Top Gun Sister 2", "Criminal Investigation File 4", "Women's Club", "Blind Man Barrister" have wonderful performances, and now still work hard in the show business circle.
03. Hong Kong Mad Monk: Liu Yida
Many people may not have heard of this name, but I would say that "The Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair" pretends to be a ghost agent who treats patients, the Shaolin Temple master in "God Eater", and the "Thousand Faced Man" who changes identities at any time in "King of a Thousand Kings 2000", you must know.
In the movie, he likes to pretend to be ghostly and cynical, but in music, he can be calm and observant, and won the Academy Award for Best Film Score with "Temptation".
Acting is just playing tickets, the real main business is music, in middle school, I began to contact various instruments, music addiction such as alcohol, I have formed a band, stayed in Polygram, created a lot of avant-garde music, and produced albums such as "The Fourth Degree Space" and "Journey of Hope".
He is a singer-songwriter and has written songs for many singers, such as Tan Yonglin, Jacky Cheung, Faye Wong, Chen Jieyi, Su Yongkang, etc.
Seeing his sluggish face, it is difficult to imagine that his heart is so hot for music, and the classic episode I am a piece of in The King of Comedy interprets the bitter life of a dead dragon set.
And the author of this interlude is Liu Yida, a person who contracted the arrangement and singing, and his deep voice, with a sad tune, could not be more appropriate.
04. "Four Eyes DaoChang": Chen You
When it comes to the Wenna Band, the first thing that comes to mind is Tan Yonglin and Zhong Zhentao, and it is easy to ignore drummer Chen You.
The predecessor of the Wenna Band was the Loser Band, Chen Baixiang was also one of the members at the time, and after changing the name to Wenna, Zhong Zhentao succeeded Chen Baixiang.
Since the formation of the band in 1973, the relationship between the members has always been very good, often holding concerts and variety shows together, and they are young as soon as they open their mouths.
Chen You is a "hermit" in music, but in the movie, he is the most successful of several people, who has been a director, opened a film company, and won Maggie Cheung on the Academy Award for Best Actress.
In life, Chen You is a gentle gentleman, but the movies often create a funny image of ghost horses, wang Gantan of "Wrong Reference", "Bad Girl", "Black Heart Ghost", "One House and Two Wives" and so on, which cooperated with Mei Yanfang, all of which left a deep impression on us.
But the audience is most familiar with his performance in zombie films, copying and pasting in "Mr. Zombie", learning the operation methods of Uncle Nine Lin Zhengying, and drinking a whole vat of oil (actually beer) in "Uncle Zombie", which is really dedicated.
Later, Mai Junlong filmed "Zombie", as a love letter to zombie films in the 80s and 90s, Chen You's appearance made fans dream back to the old "four-eyed Road Chief".
Two years ago, Chen You, Qian Xiaohao and Liu Guanwei cooperated again to shoot the online movie "Mr. Four Eyes", but the reputation collapsed and the response was minimal.
As a director, Chen You has directed films such as "The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Socks", "Invincible Lucky Star", "Hero of the World" and so on, among which "Invincible Lucky Star" cooperated with Xingye is the most brilliant, and the spittoon superman is not as funny as Xingye.
In 2018, Chen You filmed "Brother Class", a group of Brothers of the Wenna Band came to support, although the evaluation was not high, but this sentiment is worthy of praise.
05. "Declining Professional Household": Xu Guanying
The four Xu brothers: Wen Wu Yingjie.
The eldest, Hui Guanwen, a cold-faced smilester; the second, Hui Guanwu, focuses on the background; the third, Hui Guanying, is a Hong Kong movie "professional household"; the fourth Hui Guanjie, the first generation of Hong Kong singers.
Xu Guanjie's dazzling musical talent has covered up the brilliance of Xu Guanying, who has held concerts and released albums such as "Send Money Cold", "Money Is Strange", "Lifelong Desire" and so on.
He has cooperated with Teresa Teng on "Little Daughter-in-law Returns to Her Mother's Home", and "Ruthless Night Cold Wind" is also popular for her composing and lyrics.
Xu Guanying, who looks ordinary in appearance, is versatile, although his film achievements are not as good as those of his eldest brother Xu Guanwen, and his musical achievements are not as good as those of his younger brother Xu Guanjie, but the role he portrays in the film is unique.
In the films "Ghost Horse Double Star", "Genius and Idiot", "Half a Pound and Eight Two", "Deed of Sale" and "Modern Bodyguard", he is indispensable although he is not the protagonist.
In the works of "Sending Money Cold", "Money Strange", "Modern Heavenly Master", and "Eight Colored Lin Yazhen", Xu Guanying is the absolute protagonist, but with Xu Guanwen's works in front of zhuyu, it is difficult to surpass.
When it comes to Hui Guanying, "Mr. Zombie" cannot be bypassed, and the wonderful interpretation of the role of "Wencai" has made him a representative of the unlucky ghosts in Hong Kong movies.
In fact, in "Mr. Zombie", Xu Guanying is the first protagonist, helplessly the ninth uncle Lin Zhengying has a full aura, and he has forced the supporting role to play the protagonist, and Xu Guanying also refused to be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or a fantasy, Xu Guanying and his master Lin Zhengying both left on november 8, and they wished them to continue to be masters and apprentices in another world.
In addition to the above-mentioned ones, Huang Xia, Teddy Robin, and Chen Xunqi are also musical talents who like to act, and they miss the Hong Kong film industry that was once talented. (Author: 11)
