In film and television works, there are often some characters that really existed in history, and it is needless to say that ancient characters, especially some modern characters, usually have two ways of interpretation: one is similar to the shape, and the other is the god-like. Of course, no matter what kind of performance, the actor will try to be very close to this character, and to achieve the combination of shape and god, relatively speaking, the god is more difficult than the shape, after all, the shape will usually find actors who are closer to the appearance of this character, and then after passing the post-makeup, it looks very similar.
The film "Lame Hao" released in 1991 won two awards at the Academy Awards for Best Film and Best Screenwriter, and the director and several starring and supporting roles were also nominated, but unfortunately that year, the four actors nominated for the best actor were: Lu Liangwei's "Lame Hao", Zhou Xingchi's "Truancy Weilong", Zhou Runfa's "Across the Seas", Andy Lau's "Five Hundred Million Detective Leiluo Biography", and finally lost to Zeng Zhiwei's "Tale of Two Cities", the best supporting actor, Zheng Zeshi also lost to Guan Haishan's " The Biography of Inspector Leiluo of 500 Million".
The role of "Lame Hao" played by Lü Liangwei has been regarded as a classic so far, Lu Liangwei's performance in this movie is to take the god-like route, mainly reflected in the beginning, his eyes are always full of a fierce force to ascend, of course, the plot of this movie is also the screenwriter combined with the prototype Wu Xihao some things in life, and then most of them are fabricated.
In the second half of the movie, after Wu Guohao, played by Lu Liangwei, reached the peak of his power, he also deliberately gained dozens of pounds, even in 2021, Lu Liangwei's figure is still maintained very perfectly, and there is no such big belly at all. At the beginning of this stage, Lu Liangwei achieved the combination of godlike and morphological resemblance, because Wu Xihao in this period was still in prison and had an object to learn from.
None of us have seen what Wu Xihao's life is like, but we all remember Lu Liangwei's performance in this movie, which is also known as the most exciting Hong Kong character biography film, and then Ma Dangxiong also made several films of the same type, such as "Four Family Dragon and Tiger Brothers" and "Shanghai Emperor's Reign" series, etc., none of which had a great impact on the film "Lame Hao" and did not win any awards.
Some netizens commented: "Lame Hao" this movie, gangster epic legend, the scene is grand, the role is distinct, the story is compact, the plot is not delayed, the narrative is very in place, Wang Jing's "Money Empire" is like scum compared to this. Therefore, the audience who has seen this version will feel that Lu Liangwei's performance is impeccable and the most recognized version, except for Wu Xihao himself.
Now you can find photos of Wu Xihao's real person on the Internet, that is, these three photos, from the photos, it can be seen that his hairline is serious after all, his nose is a bit large, and his medium body is fat, especially in the middle of the early photo, the fat on his face and double chin are very obvious.
Looking at the above photos, and then looking at Zhen Zidan's shape in "Chasing the Dragon", it is neither similar nor similar, and the only similarity is that it is limp. In different movie versions, his leg lameness is caused by being injured by people, and the real situation is also wu Xihao's leg lame after being injured by the enemy family, which is very consistent.
Now the movie "Chasing the Tiger and Catching the Dragon" has now sent out live tidbits, if the lame Hao played by Lu Liangwei is really "Hao", then Liang Jiahui's version is really "lame". Comparing Wu Xihao's real photos, you will find that the lame Hao played by Leung Ka Fai this time is taking a similar route, whether it is glasses and nose, as well as the back hairline, which are very similar.
Liang Jiahui's acting skills are unquestionable, he is the most famous willing to spend time to figure out the role, this time the tidbit said that he remains lame inside and outside the play, because habits are difficult to change, and only in this way can the performance be unobtrusive.
In addition to the need for a large makeup pad for his nose, he also has two pieces of cotton in his mouth, which makes his cheeks fatter, and the clothes he wears are also special cotton clothes, which looks fatter.
I have to say that after the makeup, Liang Jiahui's style has been very close to Wu Xihao in the photo, through this shape, you can guess that the plot of this movie is mainly about the later stage, and it will not be like Lu Liangwei's film that has been interpreted from his youth to the later stage.
It is also because the film "Lame Hao" is a pure personal biography movie, the age span is relatively large, so it is full of a gangster epic legend, and the "Chasing the Tiger and The Dragon" movie tells the story after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, with different emphases, the film also has Leiluo played by Wu Zhenyu, Gu Tianle and Lin Jiadong played by icAC staff, from the performance space, Liang Jiahui is a bit of a loss in this version, but it is also very exciting.
So finally, ask, very close to the shape coupled with Leung Ka Fai's acting skills, do you think Leung Ka Fai will surpass Lu Liangwei's version of lame Hao?
