He is Stephen Chow's biggest rival on the road to comedy, switching to going to the sea to do business with pirates, selling backlogs of raincoats to the Middle East, which is seriously water-scarce;
He did not go to college but can achieve assets of hundreds of millions, more rich than the godfather of the music world Tan Yonglin;
He scolded the waste of youth, strong support for the Hong Kong police, three views of you can not believe, today to enter the Hong Kong film "golden supporting role" Chen Baixiang's legendary life.
If it were not for Zhou Xingchi's birth, today's "king of comedy" is none other than Chen Baixiang, because his life is full of reversals and fun everywhere.
He has starred in more than 100 comedy movies, the most impressive is Zhu Zhishan in "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", but don't look at his acting skills so well, in fact, Chen Baixiang debuted as a singer at the beginning.
Since childhood, his voice is excellent, but he has not received a good education, only because the family conditions are too difficult, just when he was in middle school, Chen Baixiang was forced to go to the bar to sell singing to subsidize the family.
It is precisely because of his enthusiasm for singing that at the age of 18, Chen Baixiang formed his own band, named "Losers", as a member of the team was his childhood playmate Tan Yonglin, when Chen Baixiang was the first lead singer, and Tan Yonglin was the second lead singer, which was the predecessor of the Wenna Band.
The band's biggest achievement was at the Hong Kong Youth Music Festival in 1971, they won Hui Guanjie's Lotus Band, won the first place, if there is no accident, this band should also be able to become a legend like Beyond, but unexpectedly, before the explosion, the band disbanded.
Chen Baixiang changed his career to business, while Tan Yonglin went to Singapore to study, and the trajectories of their lives have changed completely differently since then.
After making a lot of money in business, Chen Baixiang began to ridicule his good friend Tan Yonglin: "My money can't be spent in my life, are you really pitiful and still being a singer?" ”
As the saying goes, if you ascend to a height, you will fall heavily, and you can't think of big words just spoken, followed by the news of Chen Baixiang's bankruptcy, and at this time, the most righteous is still the old friend Tan Yonglin.
Because of the failure of business operations, Chen Baixiang owed tens of millions of debts, and all the luxury cars bought on a whim were taken to pay off debts, at this time Tan Yonglin took out his only 30 million savings to be a good brother, which allowed Chen Baixiang to survive the difficulties, and the friendship between the two was further sublimated.
Later, under the introduction of Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang participated in the singing competition held by TVB, and his ranking was still above Tan Yonglin, so he successfully signed a wireless contract and became a host, the name "Alat" was taken at this time, which means "very powerful"!
As the name suggests, in fact, Chen Baixiang is indeed very powerful, from no acting experience, he just entered the show business circle as soon as he mixed up, especially the comedy talent has been a great opportunity to show, after joining Shaw, Chen Baixiang also participated in the screenwriting work, the performance and the screenwriting are not delayed.
At the peak, Chen Baixiang shot 12 movies a year, but he turned to giving up his role as a protagonist to play a supporting role, and then in many works, Chen Baixiang starred in some perfidious villains, which can be called "the originator of the unworthy man".
Later, due to the filming of the movie "Modern Immortals", Chen Baixiang became the royal supporting role of Wang Jing's film, and has cooperated in many excellent works, such as "Courtship Death Squad" and "Best Friend", almost every role has its own characteristics.
And his cooperation with Zhou Xingchi is more classic, "Deer DingJi", "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang", "Truant Weilong", etc., acting with Xingye is not inferior, and even some viewers also said that Chen Baixiang was more funny than Zhou Xingchi.
Although he has been starring in green leaf roles all year round, as a golden supporting role in classic movies, Chen Baixiang's face is not unfamiliar to many viewers.
When acting, Chen Baixiang can follow the characteristics of the role "changeable", which also makes him go more and more smoothly on the road of interpretation, but for him, filming is only a "side business", and making money is the last word!
Doing business with pirates and running to the arid Middle East to sell raincoats are all experiences of famous Hong Kong star Chen Baixiang!
As a child of a poor family, Chen Baixiang's wishes since childhood are different from other children's, and his goal when he grows up is to make a lot of money.
After leaving the band that year, Chen Baixiang began to devote himself to the business sea, but he did not expect that he had a talent for business, and opened a garment factory with all his savings, at the beginning, there were only six machines in his factory, but only two or three years later, his factory was expanded to three assembly lines.
With the income from the operation of the garment factory, Chen Baixiang was worth more than ten million, and he was only in his twenties that year, when he was young and vigorous, so he took the money he earned to buy five luxury cars to change them, and it was precisely because of the success of the business that Chen Baixiang proudly ridiculed Tan Yonglin.
Unexpectedly, the garment factory soon went bankrupt, thousands of employees of the factory waited to be paid, and Chen Baixiang's luxury car was also pulled to pay off the debt. Faced with a large backlog of inventory in the factory, Chen Baixiang had no choice but to personally expand sales channels, so he thought of going to the Middle East.
However, piracy is rampant in the Middle East, and it is very dangerous to do business there, and Chen Baixiang wants to sell raincoats, which is useless in the arid desert.
But Chen Baixiang's great point is that he can talk to the pirates about business, every time he sells a piece of clothing, Chen Baixiang will give the pirates a commission of 1 US dollar, and in order to sell the raincoat, he also said that the raincoat is the latest fashion, which attracted people in the Middle East to buy it, and it was not until three or four years later that all the clothes were sold out, and he was able to return to Hong Kong.
After that, Chen Baixiang got help from his friends to return to the development of the show business circle, and although there were countless masterpieces, he still couldn't suppress his restless heart.
In 1994, Chen Baixiang, who has become famous in the comedy circle, once again devoted himself to the commercial sea, and together with Jackie Chan, Zeng Zhiwei, Tan Yonglin and other good friends, he established the Oriental Charm Company, after the company was listed, the market value could reach up to 2.5 billion US dollars, but he accidentally lost all of them, due to a futures index, he once again lost all his tens of millions of dollars and experienced the second bankruptcy in his life.
But Chen Baixiang, who loves to toss, is more and more frustrated and courageous, and then enters the shanghai again, and now his assets have already reached hundreds of millions, which has long surpassed his good friend Tan Yonglin.
The host who openly rebuked and provoked the incident confronted the artists who supported "Hong Kong Du" on the spot in the program, and even threatened by the "Hong Kong drug" elements, and the sincere patriotism of "Zhu Zhishan" Chen Baixiang has never changed.
Born in Hong Kong in 1950, Chen Baixiang once experienced the colonial period of Hong Kong, but as a Chinese, he longed for the Chinese culture in Jin Yong's novels, and he was patriotic and simply carved these two words deeply in his bones.
Once, when participating in the program, the host asked Chen Baixiang about the jurisdiction of the region, and Chen Baixiang asked directly and directly three times without mercy: "Are you Chinese?" Why aren't we managed by China? Was it managed by the British? As soon as this statement came out, the two hosts on the other side had nothing to say.
In addition, he often promotes China's long history and culture in the program, sparing no effort to convey positive energy to fans.
Once in the program, Chen Baixiang and a certain artist talked about the situation together, in the face of the artist's loud roar, Chen Baixiang methodically counterattacked, with facts proved what is reasonable is not high-minded, high-profile voice "support the police".
Even if he was threatened by Hong Kong du elements, Chen Baixiang was not afraid at all, and replied stiffly: "I am a normal Hong Kong citizen, there is no high church, no children, I am just doing some serious things, and there is no word 'fear' in my dictionary." ”
After the National Security Law came into effect, Chen Baixiang also immediately came forward to support, and also expressed support for Hong Kong schools to take Chinese history as a compulsory course, to understand China's national conditions, although he did not go to college, but Chen Baixiang's three views are particularly positive, in the face of major issues of right and wrong, he has always been "black and white".
However, this "black and white" way of dealing with the world has also caused trouble for him, he is very upright, when faced with the "Zhang Tan dispute" between Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang did not hesitate to choose to take sides with his good brother Tan Yonglin, and also attacked Zhang Guorong in public.
Later, Zhang Guorong asked him why he also had a good relationship with him, but he attacked himself, when Chen Baixiang said to Zhang Guorong: "You are my friend, he is my better friend, for him, I will do the same." But when Chen Baixiang publicly apologized to Zhang Guorong again, he had already passed away, and this matter also became Chen Baixiang's biggest regret.
However, there are very few things that are complete in life, no matter how Chen Baixiang's experience is already very legendary, and an artist with positive energy and strength like him is already worth learning from many people.
