Every good movie is the best memory in the minds of a generation. Time will get old, but the glamorous images of stars on the big screen will be frozen forever. In light and shadow, Andy Lau has accompanied us for forty years, he has participated in nearly 180 films in the past forty years, and today, we will review Andy Lau's 41st to 50th films.
41. "The Legion of Riches", 1990
In 1986, a "Rich Train" gathered more than a dozen well-known film stars in the Hong Kong film industry at that time, creating a box office of more than 28 million Hong Kong dollars. Four years later, under the convocation of the then film industry's upstart Yineng Pictures, written by Wang Jing and directed by Zheng Zeshi, more than 20 film industry experts made a "nonsensical" style "bet" movie - "Rich And Noble Corps". This is a comedy + love + action + revolutionary theme of the film, a one-and-a-half hour movie, to grasp any two of the key points need to be skilled, let alone 4. Therefore, it is easy to watch this play, after all, spending a movie ticket to see the plays of more than 20 first-line movie stars is still very cost-effective. In this movie, we see the most "fanghua" moment of "the changing queen" Mei Yanfang, Hua Ge is the No. 4 star of the film, after Hong Jinbao, Mui Yanfang and Tan Yonglin, and Mei Jie play a "revolutionary couple" in the play. Judging from the box office of the last 17 million or so, the rich series has been filmed behind it and it is "not fragrant".
42. "Fighting the Rivers and Lakes Again" 1990
Deng Guangrong is a big man in the Hong Kong film industry, from a popular student to a film company owner, he is almost an absolute protagonist in the movies where he is. Hua Ge and Deng Guangrong have cooperated in 4 plays, "Fighting the Rivers and Lakes Again" is the first one, and it is said that Hua Ge was hand-picked by Deng Guangrong. In the later stages of Deng Guangrong's acting career, most of them were gangster films, in which he invited his "confidants with red faces" - Wu Jiali, Ren Dahua, Li Meifeng and later "Heavenly King's Sister-in-Law" Luo Meiwei starred, Hua Ge made two or three cameo appearances in the movie, not for a long time.
43. "Supreme Ji Zhuangyuancai", 1990
Judging from the 4 A colors on the poster, Andy Lau is the male number two after Tan Yonglin. "Supreme Ji Zhuangyuancai" gathers a large number of stars and old drama bones such as Tan Yonglin, Andy Lau, "Golden Horse Film Emperor" Chen Songyong, "Lak Brother" Chen Baixiang, Li Jiaxin, Huang Qiusheng, Luo Meiwei, Cheng Kui'an, Tian Feng and so on. "Supreme Ji Zhuangyuancai" is a representative of comedy gambling films, and in the same year, more excellent comedy gambling films were born. Compared with the "Supreme Supreme" produced by Yongsheng a year ago, this movie is a little bit worse in conception and production, Andy Lau performed decently, and after watching it, he felt that his most brilliant thing was the emotional drama with Li Jiaxin, after all, the handsome man and beautiful woman were very right. In this movie, Principal Tan's momentum completely overshadows Hua Ge.
44. "Heavenly Love", 1990
If you ask the post-70s and post-80s Andy Lau's most classic movies, I think even non-Hua Ge fans can and will think of the name of "Heavenly Love". "Heavenly Love" What Tianruo has brought to a generation is the most real touch and the purest love and righteousness in the memories of youth. The plot of the old-fashioned gu qiu boy chasing the rich girl is not only not tacky or tear gas in this movie, the most sunny and upright Andy Lau, the young and slightly shy Wu Qianlian plus the serious Wu Mengda who is not funny at all, fairy tales + jianghu love, with BEYOND's "Gray Trajectory" + Yuan Fengying's "Heavenly Love" (it is said that this song is dedicated to Sanmao by Luo Dayou), the plot and atmosphere are there, and it is not okay not to shed tears. "Heavenly Love" made Andy Lau become the idol king of popular all over Asia, let Wu Qianlian "Cinderella become a white swan" immediately become a popular movie star, and let Uncle Da win the only Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor trophy from his film career. Now, 30 years later, Uncle Da and director Chen Musheng have left us, hoping that they will rest in peace in heaven and miss !!!
45. "Modern Rulai Divine Palm", 1990
"Modern Rulai Divine Palm" is purely a nonsensical action + comedy, when it comes to comedy, it is actually not funny, although the director is Huang Tailai but the screenwriter is Wang Jing, so Wang Jing's whimsical effect is completely different from Xu Ke's skywalking, he splices together the treasure theft + crossing + comic comedy + old Cantonese opera bridge section, and the result is such a "four unlike" movie. This drama has Hua Ge, Wang Zuxian, Chen Baixiang, Yuan Hua and "Cantonese opera titan" Cao Dahua, after watching you have a good time, it is just a "fast food movie".
46. "Yoshiko Kawashima", 1990
Yoshiko Kawashima is a legendary figure, but also a controversial figure, in those years there are many film and television dramas about her theme, the best film category is this released in 1990 by Fang Lingzheng directed by Fang Lingzheng, starring Mei Yanfang "Kawashima Yoshiko", the supervising producer of this play is Hua Ge Enshi Teddy Robin, he is the male number one in the play, and Er Dongsheng, Xie Xian, Chen Yulian, Wu Qihua co-performed. The film won several awards at the Academy Awards the following year, especially Er Dongsheng, who also acted and directed at the time, won the award for Best Supporting Actor. In this play, Mei Yanfang is a well-deserved number one person, because this is originally a historical drama that reflects women's themes. Although Hua Ge is the male number one, the role does not reach the amount of male number one, which is also the first time that Hua Ge challenges the role of comedy martial arts, and Hua Ge plays seriously and well.
47. "Righteous Ambition", 1990
Filmed in 1990, "Righteous Courage Ambition" is a film directed and starring Chen Huimin, Andy Lau is the male number one, and the main actors are Wan Ziliang, Yao Wei, Jian Huizhen, Wan Ziliang, and Deng Guangrong. Although Hua Ge is the male number one, the first half of the movie has a lot of scenes on Wan ZiGe, and the middle scene is on Chen Huimin, and Hua Ge's male number one status is a bit embarrassing. Hua Ge plays a couple with Jian Huizhen in the play, to tell the truth, in this play, in front of a group of big guys, Hua Ge is still slightly green. The most regrettable thing is Jian Huizhen, this beautiful spiritual rich family died of cancer a few years later, at the age of 31.
48. "The Dragon in Prison" 1990
Two days ago, I also brushed the video of Brother Jia Jing sitting on his own limousine singing Hua Ge's "SecretLy Fascinated", when I also left a message to Brother Jia Jin that he sang well, it seems that the two kings have a good relationship. He Jiajin is known as the "costume male god", and the "Nanxia Zhan Zhao" he plays is called an "insurmountable classic", compared to the status of the king in the TV series, He Jiajin does not invest much energy in the movie. This 1990 movie "Dragon in Prison" is starring him and Hua Ge, Hua Ge is the male number one, the goddess Li Zi fresh play the female number one, this movie also appears one of the "four evil people in Hong Kong" He Jiaju, his acting skills in the play are "outrageous", worthy of the "evil professional household", there are several dedicated to the "villain" performance of Long Fang, Han Kun and Cheng Dong. This is a top-heavy film, the early stages of the narrative are very good, but the end is hastily concluded. Hua Ge performed very well in the play, but was constrained by the plot, and eventually the box office barely exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars that year.
49. "Exotic" 1990
In 1990, in the Taiwan film market, the wind and rain, invincible has the intention of entering the Hong Kong market, so he found the Hong Kong popular king Andy Lau to shoot the movie "Exotic Land", the main actors in the film are Taiwanese local actors, such as the old film emperor Ke Junxiong and Lang Xiong, the popular Xiaosheng Yu Zonghua and the drama bone Gu Baoming, the film also invited Si Qinggaowa to star. This military-themed film was very "fresh" in the market at that time, and suddenly won 200 million Taiwan dollars (equivalent to 4000-5000 yuan) at the box office, and Zhu Yanping, who had great confidence, immediately entered Jiahe to gather a large number of Hong Kong local power kings to start filming the movie "Burning Island", and 2 years later, he filmed "The Hero of the End of the Exotic Land". Hua Ge's acting skills in this play are full of tension and are deeply recognized by the director.
50. "The Gambler" 1990
After the 1989 local box office champion "God of Gamblers" and the 1990 Hong Kong local box office champion "Gamblers", Wang Jing concocted the movie "Gambler", so far, the three most dazzling names in the field of gambling films have come alive, and then according to these three names, many related movies and sequels have been extended, but the most brilliant is still these three movies, "God of Gamblers" Box office is 36.3 million, "Gamblers" Box office is 41 million, "Gamblers" box office reached 40.3 million, It was the runner-up of the Hong Kong box office in 1990 (of course, after the gambling film set off people's enthusiasm for watching movies, 1994's "God of Gamblers 2" easily became the highest box office in Hong Kong with a box office of 51.53 million). Just look at the name of the movie, you know that the male number one of this movie is Andy Lau, but Xingye is too brilliant in the play, and he has brought the movie into his own performance mode, there is no way, in the comedy performance, Zhou Xingchi is really unparalleled. The star appeal of this movie is strong, in addition to the double kings Andy Lau and Zhou Xingchi, there are also Zhang Min, Wu Mengda, Chen Farong, Xiang Huaqiang, Shan Liwen, Ke Shouliang and so on. Many of the bridges in the play are still classics to this day, such as the respective Cosplays of Zhou Xingchi and Cheng Dong, and the "big fool brother" Cheng Kui'an's "surrender and lose half". Now Cheng Kui'an has been dead for 12 years, missing the big stupid brother!
This is Andy Lau's 41st to 50th film, and careful friends will find that these 10 films were all shot in 1990. Yes, this year Hua Ge made a total of 11 movies, in addition to the above 10 films, there is also "Ah Fei Zheng Biography", plus in 1991 Hua Ge made 13 movies, and Andy Lau shot a total of 40 movies in three years, which is Andy Lau's most prolific three years. Next time, let's recall Andy Lau's 51st to 60th films.
