An actor, to be remembered by name, is sometimes not easy, especially in supporting roles.
Mentioning the name Liu Dan, many people may not be able to react at once, but when it comes to Yang Mi's former father-in-law, the grandfather of "Little Glutinous Rice", they will suddenly realize: it is him.
Indeed, it was unexpected that Liu Kaiwei's father, Liu Dan, as the head of the Liu family, had been playing a role similar to a "spokesman" in front of the media in recent years in the face of various things of the younger generation.
Recently, the 76-year-old Liu Dan won TVB's "Thousands of Brilliant Entertainer Awards", which is equivalent to the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is actually the first time that Liu Dan has won an award in 52 years since he entered the industry as a (supporting role) actor.
Therefore, the old man was very excited when he received the award on the stage, and said in a slightly choked tone: "I have always told myself not to be too excited, I didn't expect it or not, I was a little confused, did I just talk?" ”
And that day coincided with his lunar birthday, and the whole audience sang birthday songs for him to congratulate, which made Liu Dan can't help but cry on the spot and wipe his eyes with a tissue.
After working for TVB for more than 50 years, "Golden Supporting Actor" Liu Dan finally won TVB's Lifetime Achievement Award. There are many supporting roles in TVB, but there are not many supporting roles like Liu Dan who have been playing supporting roles for decades, so this award is not easy to come by.
Liu Dan, whose original name was Liu Qingji, was born in Weihai, Shandong Province, and entered the entertainment industry as early as the 1970s, and in 1977, Liu Dan joined TVB in Hong Kong.
Liu Dan's most impressive role to the audience is the role of "Hong Qigong" in the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter".
This version of the "Legend of the Archery Hero" characters of the classics, Liu Dan played the "Hong Qigong" although only a supporting role, but in the play is very eye-catching, he interpreted the image of a strong martial arts gang leader very vividly.
The spark of his performance with Huang Rihua, who plays Guo Jing, and Weng Meiling, who plays Huang Rong, has become a screen classic and an audience memory, and has been talked about for many years.
At that time, Liu Dan's style highly restored the "Hong Qigong" in Jin Yong's original work, he was wearing a patched beggar's suit, with hair, a long white beard, holding a dog stick in his hand, smiling and squinting, so that the fans of the original were satisfied with it.
The 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero" has caused a ratings frenzy in China and has been repeatedly broadcast on TELEVISION, so the role of "Hong Qigong" is almost equal to Liu Dan. But few people noticed that the "old man" on the screen at that time was only 39 years old at the time.
In the 80s and 90s of last century, TVB filmed many TV series adapted from Jin Yong's original work, and Liu Dan became the best candidate for "Hong Qigong" during this time. Over the years, Liu Dan has also starred in the 94th edition of "Shooting Eagle", the 83rd and 95th editions of "Divine Eagle Hero", and has successively starred in "Hong Qigong" 4 times.
Later, in an interview, Liu Dan said: "I don't know if there is a chance to remake "Shooting Eagle", if there is, it is also my role as 'Hong Qigong', haha." ”
In Liu Dan's own mind, the role of "Hong Qigong" has a constant fate with his many years of acting career. He was treated with care when he played this role, recognized by the audience, and being able to create a classic role is not easy for the actor.
Liu Dan has played more than one classic supporting role, in the 1980 TV series "Shanghai Beach" starring Zhou Runfa, Zhao Yazhi and Lu Liangwei, his role of Feng Jingyao was also amazing.
Liu Dan was younger when he played Feng Jingyao, only 36 years old, and his actual age at that time was only about 10 years older than the male and female protagonists, but he had to play their elders (he was 10 years older than Zhao Yazhi, but the play played the father of Zhao Yazhi's character Feng Chengcheng), which was difficult to imagine.
After the broadcast of "Shanghai Beach", Feng Jingyao, played by Liu Dan, was also widely known and very convincing.
First of all, he wears a long shirt and the posture of a rich Shanghai businessman, the sideburns dyed white on both sides of his hair add to the sense of age, and there is a vague "treacherous" temperament between the raised hands.
Villains usually do not have an advantage in moral sense, and the villain Feng Jingyao, played by Liu Dan, is fierce for the sake of profit, making people hate to itch their teeth, at the same time, he loves women and is a complex character.
After Liu Dan grew older, he continued to work in the acting industry, with a stable annual production of works and roles in mainland TV dramas.
In 2008, Liu Dan once played a supporting role in Yu Zheng's TV series "A Thousand Tears".
It is worth noting that Liu Dan's son Liu Kaiwei is the male protagonist of this drama, and it is also a rare fate for father and son to perform the same drama together.
However, as a TVB actor, Liu Dan's focus is still on the self-made dramas of Hong Kong TVB, and he has played continuous roles in TVB's hot dramas, and has starred in Sun Huaide in the Taiwanese Qing drama "Pearls and Treasures".
After the age of 70, Liu Dan's job in filming TV dramas decreased, but he often attended some activities, and in his spare time, he liked to go out with friends to exercise.
However, because of the marriage of sons Liu Kaiwei and Yang Mi, coupled with the fact that their daughter "XiaoNuomi" lived in Hong Kong for a long time after birth, Liu Dan and his wife Li Fuying were often filmed and questioned, and it was rare to be quiet.
When Liu Kaiwei and Yang Mi divorced, Liu Dan was surrounded by Hong Kong media and bombed indiscriminately, almost making the old man overwhelmed.
Not all supporting roles can succeed, and a large number of supporting roles are gradually forgotten. As a "golden supporting role", Liu Dan has a memorable role, even if there is no award, it is enough to prove the success of his acting career.
Liu Dan has been acting for decades, almost all year round, and he has written three words into today with his life: old drama bones.
Everyone is used to calling him Danye, but this grandfather is really not easy.
