If he had lived, he would have passed the age of the flower armor.
It's really hard to imagine what he would look like with his two white sideburns. We don't know that in our impression, he seems to always be a young man with a crown of jade, never getting old.
Fortunately, the best moments of his life were sealed in film.
He is Zhang Guorong. His superstar resume, there are already too many people counting, here is not the table. I took a little time to patiently watch all the movies that Zhang Guorong had participated in before he was thirty years old, and selected twelve pictures from them to entertain you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > Jade Thin Sandalwood Light Infinite Hate: Spring in the Red Chamber (1978).</h1>
Many fans do not like to mention this movie, but Zhang Guorong himself is not afraid to mention it. After Zhang Guorong became famous, he had the opportunity to buy out all the copies of this movie, but he did not do so, saying that he would let everyone see, I have suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot before. Zhang Rong, who appeared on the screen for the first time, is thin and thin, not like the superstar appearance after him - he played Jia Baoyu when he was least like Jia Baoyu, and it is a three-level film version with no artistry to speak of, which cannot but be said to be a trick of fate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > like the rising sun: Cheers (1980</h1>).
The guitarist played by Zhang Guorong has only 10 shots in the movie, but it has already revealed a gratifying vitality, although at that time he was just a foil, Chen Baiqiang was a youth idol who fascinated all sentient beings, even the name of the movie is taken from the song "Cheers" created by Chen Baiqiang, but today when you look at the lyrics of "Cheers", it seems to predict Zhang Guorong's bright future:
The spring wind blows the grass and then Su, and there is never a dead end. How can tomorrow's changes be known, and what pessimistic beliefs are in life. As if the sun is rising, you must be confident that there is a bright way forward.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > Jade Steps Empty Standing: The Woman of My Family in the Years and Rivers and Mountains (1980).</h1>
In the early days of his acting career, Zhang Guorong not only acted in idol films, but also acted in such a TV single drama with strong anti-feudal overtones, a love tragedy that tried to cross classes but ended cruelly. Zhang Guorong's excellent performance in it has been favored by Li Bihua, Wong Kar-wai and others, laying the foundation for him to take over excellent film works more than ten years later. In the play, Zhang Guorong is dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, holding an umbrella, and the mountains and rivers behind him are Xiao Suo, and this scene seems to be a natural picture that has declared the composition aesthetic that most complements his temperament.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > In the Sea and The Sky: Unemployed (1981</h1>).
After the experience of the previous work, Zhang Guorong has appeared calm and confident in front of the camera, his body shape is more fit, and he does not look bleak at all standing next to Chen Baiqiang, and it can even be said that it is enough to divide the autumn colors equally. The youth in "Unemployed Student", white bicycle, the years are quiet, but it actually has a dark version: Zhirong, played by Zhang Guorong, was secretly calculated by the underworld, and finally died under the knife, and his classmate friends became a rookie in the music world as desired... Fate makes people, no one knows who is writing the script of their life, and what kind of ending it will have.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" >if there really is a Romeo: Lemon Coke (1982).</h1>
In the second cooperation with director Cai Jiguang, Zhang Guorong is already the male protagonist - there is no one. For the performance, he can't say that he is at ease, but he already knows how to show his most charming angle, under the sunset, the silhouette of the side face of the boy and girl can not be pure. Zhang Guorong's classmate, Lin Yihua, who later became a famous screenwriter, once said to him: If there is really Romeo in the world, I think it is you. In "Lemon Coke", Jackson, played by Zhang Guorong, also happens to be the "Romeo" in the school troupe. After watching the movie, I think Zhang Guorong deserves this evaluation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="06" >: We Are Society: Fire Youth (1982).</h1>
The third feature film of the great director Tam Ka Ming is also one of the representative works of Hong Kong New Wave films, and Cheung Kwok Wing was nominated for the Film Emperor at the Academy Awards. The film has a strong Japanese style, with youth blooming on one side and blood gushing on the other. The film borrows the mouth of the person in the play and shouts out "What society, we are society!" "This rebellious manifesto. In the shot, the young Zhang Guorong and Tang Zhenye are only wearing pants, sleeping in the sun... At that time, How bold, avant-garde, and full of vitality were Hong Kong movies!
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="07" > silently holding back tears upstream: Drummer (1983</h1>).
"Drummer" is an inspirational film, and 1983 was also Zhang Guorong's inspirational year, in the first half of this year, he starred in the release of "Drummer", and almost at the same time was nominated for the Academy Awards and released the popular single "The Wind Continues to Blow". The story of "The Drummer" is very bloody: a young drummer who insists on his favorite musical career despite the objections of those around him, and finally gets what he wants. It is worth mentioning that most of the shots of Zhang Guorong playing drums in the movie are one shot to the end, without editing or special effects processing, whether it is the actors or the production of the movie, it can be described as careful. In the movie, Zhang Guorong raised his head and opened his arms to form a big V, which was very moving.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="08" > should only spend the moon like a happy fate: fate (1984</h1>).
In "Fate", people saw Zhang Guorong's glasses for the first time. At this time, Zhang Guorong was close to a smooth ride on the road to fame, but this was a trough for his acting career, because the film merchants paid more attention to his commercial value, so during this period he got pure idol scripts with no connotation. Maggie Cheung, who played with Zhang Guorong, did not have any acting skills at that time, and was also a pure vase, and the two frequently changed into beautiful clothes, chatting, shopping, and falling in love. Acting in such a play, there is no pressure and no pain, it should be a long vacation in life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="09" > temperament, laughter: Merry Christmas (1984).</h1>
"Merry Christmas" is a New Year film, but also Zhang Guorong's first comedy, in which he unexpectedly showed his humorous talent, funny, cute, and even boldly pranked his famous song "Monica", not at all to see the idol baggage, and comedy star Mai Jia did not have the slightest fear. The color of the film is extremely bright, and the shape of Zhang Guorong's black shirt and white pants and red jacket is also deeply rooted in people's hearts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="10" > example worth breaking everything for him: for your love (1985</h1>).
Huang Xia once said that just listening to Zhang Guorong sing a song "For You" is worth pushing away all entertainment. And this movie of the same name, as a movie, seems very trivial, but it is natural to take it as Zhang Guorong's love song, and even say that it is a super long version of the MV is not excessive, because Zhang Guorong released that year in the album "For Your Love" in the main songs, are used by the movie as interludes, and repeatedly appear. Zhang Guorong plays an unruly DJ in the movie, and finally meets true love, and the prodigal son turns back. In the final scene of the movie, this plaid shirt that means returning to the basics is very contrasting with this scene.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="11" > Don't ask me if I am or not: accidental (1986</h1>).
Bertolucci once had a shocking film called "The Last Tango in Paris", and "Chance" was called Last song in Paris, the last song in Paris. Of course, in addition to the two are based in Paris, in fact, there is no connection, "Accidental" is a very ordinary love film, Zhang Guorong played by the big singer in Mei Lanfang, Ye Tong, Wang Zuxian played by three women of different personalities hesitated, staged a love-hate entanglement. Zhang Guorong's films in this period are like advertisements for selling records, "Accidental" starts from "The First Time" and ends with "Purple Accident", and Zhang Guorong chokes and sings "The Wind Continues to Blow" on the banks of the Seine River... I think that at that time, even if he really used advertising as a movie to be released, there would be many people who were willing to buy tickets to see it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="12" adds freshness > the love of the year: the true colors of heroes (1986).</h1>
In September 1986, "The True Colors of Heroes" had a double harvest at the box office, and the crew held a celebration banquet in the Four Seasons Hall of the New World Hotel. After three rounds of drinking, Huang Baiming suddenly called people to turn off the lights, and when everyone was surprised, they saw the door slowly open, Dillon and Zhu Baoyi pushed the three-storey cake slowly closer, and the cake lit up the name with candlelight: Leslie.
This year, Zhang Guorong stood in his thirties, and "The True Colors of Heroes" was the best birthday gift. He took over the role against all odds and created its success with Dillon and Chow Yun-fat. With this movie, Zhang Guorong truly completed the transition from idol to actor, and then he will have at least one acting masterpiece every year: "Ghost of Qiannu", "Rouge Buckle", "Ah Fei Zheng Biography", "Across the Sea", "There are Happy Events at Home", "Farewell to the Overlord"... And Ajay's stunning look back in "The True Colors of Heroes" is the beginning of all this.
In the blink of an eye, another spring and autumn has passed, but you know, some people will not be old, let the world change the stars, they will always be young, always prosperous.
