As the saying goes: fight the tiger brothers, fight the father and son soldiers. This sentence is most appropriate in the entertainment industry, some brothers work hand in hand, each with their own achievements, such as Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu two brothers.
Some of them have the same root and different lives, just take Hong Kong action actors Qian Xiaohao and Qian Jiale, one self-cutting future and one steady and steady. Today we will talk about the Qian brothers' road to breaking through.
Qian Xiaohao's family had a total of six brothers and sisters, and Qian Jiale was the youngest. In terms of personality, Qian Xiaohao is obviously more outgoing than Qian Jiale, so Qian Jiale always likes to follow his brother and do "follow the fart".
At that time, boys loved to watch kung fu movies, and the two brothers did not like to learn from a young age. The two simply followed the kung fu master Xian Linxu to learn the Great Sage Splitting, but Qian Xiaohao always learned faster than Qian Jiale. Xian Linxu attached great importance to his extremely talented apprentice and passed on to him all his life's learning.
Qian Xiaohao lived up to his master's expectations and participated in the kung fu ring competition at the age of thirteen, even if the opponent was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager, he still won the bronze medal in the ring. Therefore, he was favored by the film company and embarked on the road of martial arts stars.
Qian Xiaohao entered the Shaw Martial Arts Actor Training Class, where he learned karate, taekwondo, Wing Chun and other multi-school martial arts. At that time, Qian Xiaohao had a solid foundation in martial arts, coupled with his own hard work, so he spent two months in the training class for half a year, and was also valued by Zhang Che as a closed disciple.
Participated in his first film "Shaolin and Wudang", when Qian Xiaohao was still a newcomer, but his value also rose because of Zhang Che's attention to him. The salary of a movie is equivalent to the salary of ordinary people for one year, and even the name is marked with the words "special introduction", which is placed in the most conspicuous position.
At the same time, his younger brother Qian Jiale dropped out of school and had nothing to do at home all day, and Qian Xiaohao brought him into the Hong Kong film industry as a stand-in. Perhaps because of his inferior appearance to his brother, or because of his more introverted personality, the fourteen-year-old Qian Jiale chose to start with the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts.
But because he was too young, he could only find work on various sets. It was not until 1983 that the turnaround was ushered in, and one day Yuan Biao called to ask Qian Jiale if he was interested in participating in the filming of the movie "Plan A", so Qian Jiale joined the Hongjia class and became the youngest martial artist at that time.
Since then, the brothers have been behind the scenes in front of the stage, and Qian Xiaohao in front of the stage starred in the protagonist Hu Fei in the movie "Flying Fox" in the second year after taking over the filming of "Shaolin and Wudang", and the fight with the Zhong brothers in the film was quite wonderful.
In the following years, Qian Xiaohao followed Zhang Che to shoot seven movies, and his career gradually improved. But the good times were not long, Shaw's production cut Zhang Che was going to fall, and Qian Xiaohao could only find another way to shoot other types of movies outside.
Fortunately, Qian Xiaohao met the second nobleman in the Hong Kong film industry, Hong Jinbao, who introduced him to Lin Zhengying and starred in the zombie series.
In a film called "Mr. Zombie", Qian Xiaohao plays Lin Zhengying's apprentice Qiu Sheng, who is handsome and loves to play smart, and he plays the action trick with ease.
After the release of the film, it was a great success, and it also created the era of psychic kung fu films, Qian Xiaohao also became popular with "Mr. Zombie", and various scripts came to the door, including the movie "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley".
A look at the name to know that this is a double male protagonist work, Qian Xiaohao starred in the male number one "original Zhenxia" role, and Zhou Runfa, who was already on fire at the time, played a supporting role for him as the male number two "Wesley", it can be said that at this time, Qian Xiaohao's status in the entertainment industry was close to the front line.
However, what brought his career to its peak was a film directed by Yuan Heping, "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng". Qian Xiaohao plays the villain Dong Tianbao in this film, the character has a distinct personality, can flatter for the sake of profit and can also swallow his anger, and finally go astray. The phrase "My life is up to me" shows his character even more vividly.
After that, Qian Xiaohao also occupied a place in the Hong Kong film industry with many movies such as "Jingwu Hero", "Thirteen Secret Orders", "Ancient Puzzle Boy vs Las Vegas" and other movies, and the limelight was unmatched for a while. But he also did not forget his younger brother Qian Jiale, who introduced him to major directors at every opportunity.
At the same time as his brother's scenery, his younger brother Qian Jiale's career also improved, and he participated in the filming of the movie "Fast Food Truck", but only starred as a stand-in for Yuan Biao. In the film, Yuan Biao has a scene that needs to jump down from the second floor, and the most important thing is that he must touch his ass to the ground without thinking about how much pain, but Qian Jiale passed it when the filming officially began, and won the applause of everyone on the scene. Hearing their appreciative voices, Qian Jiale felt more satisfied than ever.
Later, when encountering difficult moves, he was the first to stand up even if there was danger. Because in that era when there was no shortage of talents, only enough fighting could have a head start, and it was precisely because of enough fighting that Qian Jiale was often called by Hong Jinbao to be his stand-in for Jackie Chan. But injuries as an action actor are inevitable.
During the filming of the movie "Dragon's Heart", due to the needs of the plot, he jumped from the second floor to break the glass and fell on the tent, when a car drove from the opposite side, and Qian Jiale needed to bounce on the roof of the car. However, during the filming, he threw himself directly over the tent and fell to the ground, and was hit by the car and his entire foot was deformed
This incident left a great shadow on him, which caused him to dare not jump down when filming the scene of jumping off a cliff for Hong Jinbao. But how to do without jumping, this time do not dare to dare next time, if you want to continue to be a martial artist, you must dare to fight, and finally Qian Jiale jumped down.
However, what was even more surprising was that Qian Jiale had just been discharged from the hospital at that time, and the title of "the most desperate martial artist in the Hongjia class" qian Jiale deserved it. It is worth mentioning that people also gave him another title, "King of The Stand-in", because there is no action that he can't do.
At that time, the two brothers were one in front of the stage and one behind the scenes, and they were mixed up in the film world, which was not beautiful. However, just when Qian Jiale was working hard for his work, his brother Qian Xiaohao personally ruined his great future.
On July 11, 2000, Qian Xiaohao was exposed by the Hong Kong media to secretly photograph the bottom of women's skirts, and on that day, Qian Xiaohao followed a woman in the supermarket and was intercepted and investigated by security guards. After discovering that there was a hidden camera, the security guard immediately called the police, Qian Xiaohao was taken back to the police station, and the police looked through the video tape and found that the number of women who had been taken indecent photos was as high as thirty.
The situation was so serious that Qian Xiaohao was acquitted just by paying the deposit. However, after this incident was exposed, it caused irreversible and serious consequences to his career, and Qian Xiaohao's image at the peak of his career was destroyed. Others became popular overnight, and he disappeared overnight.
Qian Xiaohao, who can't mix in the Hong Kong film industry, chose to come to the mainland to develop like Lou Nanguang, but he made many movies without stirring up any waves, and his career will never be as good as before.
The younger brother Qian Jiale is in the ascendancy of his career, and he has also worked as a martial arts director and director. He directed the film "Best Partner of Best Partner", which received a lot of praise after its release.
Later, he worked as a martial arts instructor in er Dongsheng's filming of the film "The Night of Mong Kok" and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Action Design. Over the years, Qian Jiale has cooperated with a number of famous directors and also created his own team - Qian Jiaban.
In life, Qian Jiale and his wife Tang Yingying have been married for nine years, and the two have also given birth to two daughters and a family of four.
On the other hand, his brother Qian Xiaohao had been married twice, and he had a very unpleasant quarrel with his ex-wife Guo Xiuyun, and even his own son changed his surname many times with his ex-wife's remarriage, and was also scolded by everyone as Adou.
Now Qian Xiaohao is married to Qiu Qianming, who has accompanied him for many years, and has also given birth to a son, Qian Yingde, which can also be regarded as a stable life.
Qian Xiaohao and Qian Jiale brothers engaged in the same work, but in the end they had a different ending. Qian Xiaohao is better than his younger brother Qian Jiale in terms of appearance and luck, and perhaps it is precisely because he is too lucky to develop his career so smoothly that he has made him self-destruct the star path.
In contrast, Qian Jiale has suffered too much as a martial arts stand-in, and he has come out of his current achievements step by step, and he understands that everything is not easy to come by and will be more cherished.
