In the early 1980s, the Hong Kong film market entered a golden period of vigorous development.
At this time, "New Art City" with the "Best Partner" film series, riding the dust above the box office market, and the Hong Kong film giants "Jiahe" and "Shaw" stood on their feet.
In order to confront the "Best Partner" series of "New Art City", Hong Jinbao gathered people and filmed the action comedy "Five Lucky Stars" in 1983.
The prelude to the era of the "Five Lucky Stars" film series was also officially opened at this time.
Although it is called "Five Lucky Stars", there are more than 5 actors who have starred in "Five Blessings Stars".
In 1983, the box office sales of "Five Lucky Stars of Strange Strategies" gave Hong Jinbao a creative impetus, and he successively filmed five sequels of "Lucky Star High Light", "Summer Lucky Star", "Best Lucky Star", "Five Lucky Stars Colliding with Ghosts", and "Fortune Five Lucky Stars".
In these works, Hong Jinbao has always been a "partridge dish" in the film, but the role candidates of several other Fuxing have undergone certain changes over time.
After 1996's "Fortune Five Luck Stars", Hong Jinbao terminated the filming of the "Five Lucky Stars" series.
With the birth of this tribal curtain work, Hong Jinbao has also partnered with 11 "Lucky Stars" to cooperate with the "Five Lucky Stars" series of films.
More than twenty years have passed, and these "five blessings" partners of Hong Jinbao have undergone considerable changes under the baptism of the years. Next, let's talk about hong jinbao's 11 "five lucky star" partners.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="94" > "two lucky stars" with extremely high emissation rates: Feng Quefan and Wu Yaohan </h1>
Wu Yaohan and Feng Quanfan are the two more stable faces in the "Five Blessings" series.
Hong Jinbao planned a total of 6 "Five Lucky Stars" works, and Wu Yaohan and Feng Quanfan co-starred in 5 of them, and the appearance rate was second only to Hong Jinbao.
Feng Quefan, who has been active in the Hong Kong film and television market since the mid-1960s, can be described as an "old man" in the Hong Kong performing arts industry.
In the early years, Feng Quanfan has been active on the TV drama screen. After entering the 1980s, the Hong Kong film market became more and more prosperous, and Feng Quanfan also entered the big screen of Hong Kong films at this time.
And 1983's "Strange Schemes and Five Lucky Stars" has also become a major turning point in Feng Quanfan's acting road.
After being widely acclaimed in "The Magic trick of the Five Lucky Stars", Feng Quanfan began to stabilize his screen position in the "Five Lucky Stars" series, and "Rhino Skin" also became a very classic big screen image of Feng Quanfan.
Because of the "Five Lucky Stars" series, Feng Quanfan, who has gone farther and farther down the road of the film, also sat in the position of director in 1989 and directed and acted in a "Fuxing Into the Rivers and Lakes".
However, there is still a certain gap between the effect of the film and Hong Jinbao's "Genuine Five Lucky Stars" series.
In 1996, the "Five Blessings" series came to an end, and Feng Quanfan's film road also went to a low point at this time.
After 2000, the Hong Kong film market was in a state of decline, and Feng Quanfan tried to enter the mainland film and television market through works such as "Find a Father for Yourself", "A Branch of Plum", "Zhang Tingxiu" and so on, but unfortunately the effect was not ideal.
After 2015's "Lao Kasa", Feng Quefan also faded out of the big screen.
Compared with Feng Quanfan, Wu Yaohan's big screen fame time is much earlier.
In the mid-1970s, Wu Began to cooperate with "Hong Kong's first generation of comedy kings" Hui Guanwen. The outstanding performance in works such as "Half a Pound, Eight Two" and "Sending Money Cold" also allowed Wu Yaohan to quickly stabilize the market position of his comedy film "Gold Medal Male Supporting".
In 1982, when Hong Jinbao filmed "Lifting the Little Hand", he invited Wu Yaohan to star. The excellent performance in the film allowed Wu Yaohan to smoothly enter Hong Jinbao's next play - "Strange Scheme Five Lucky Stars".
In the mid-1980s, Hong Jinbao's "Five Lucky Stars" series allowed Wu Yaohan to take his comedy film market to a higher level. But at this time, Wu Yaohan did not fix himself in the "comfort zone" of comedy, but began to try different types of film works.
In 1989, the literary film "Flying Over Dusk" made Wu Yaohan receive a nomination for film emperors.
At the end of the 1990s, Hong Kong films were in decline, but Wu Yaohan relied on his varied interpretation style to win over a wide variety of film works.
Although his career is gradual, Wu Yaohan, who is already old, is not optimistic about his physical condition.
In June 2021, some Hong Kong media reported that the 81-year-old Wu Yaohan's kidney disease was getting worse and worse, and he had to dialyze and wash his stomach every day. Under the illness, Wu Yaohan's economic situation has also become tight.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="115" > "curly" Shum Jianxun and "Luo Han Guo" Zeng Zhiwei </h1>
In "Strange Tricks five lucky stars", Cen Jianxun played the role of "curly hair".
In the 1980s, Shum Washun was actually a filmmaker. During the filming of "Strange Tricks and Five Lucky Stars", Hong Jinbao wanted to find an actor with a poor appearance to play Zhong Chuhong's brother to create a feeling of "contrast and cuteness".
Cen Jianxun, who works as a producer behind the scenes, just met Hong Jinbao's request, so he walked from behind the scenes to the front of the curtain.
On the big screen of Hong Kong films in the 80s, Shum Jianxun also starred in some comedies. But his main job is still behind the scenes.
In the mid-1980s, Shum Jianxun cooperated with Hong Jinbao to establish "Debao Film". This company has created many classic Hong Kong film works.
At the end of the 1990s, with the decline of the Hong Kong film market. The figure of Cen Jianxun also faded out of the audience's vision.
Cen Jianxun only starred in one "Strange Scheme Five Lucky Stars", and then quit the combination of "Five Lucky Stars".
In the second "Fuxing Gaozhao", the "Luo Han Guo" played by Zeng Zhiwei also became a new member of the "Five Lucky Stars" group.
In his early years, Zeng Zhiwei was a martial artist in the "Hongjia Class". In the early 1980s, Zeng Zhiwei left the "Hongjia Class" to join the "New Art City" and helped the "New Art City" shoot "Best Partner".
After seeing the extraordinary "Best Partner", Hong Jinbao pulled Zeng Zhiwei back to the "Hong Family Class" to assist in the filming of the "Five Lucky Stars" series.
I have to admit that Zeng Zhiwei's talent in film is indeed dazzling.
As a director, he has made film works such as "Bad Size", "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", "Little Little Policeman", and "Five Tigers Will Break". As an actor, works such as "Tale of Two Cities", "Sweet Honey", "Infernal Affairs", "Precocious" and so on have also won the "Best Actor" and "Best Supporting Actor" trophies.
The glorious past in the film industry has provided many new directions for Zeng Zhiwei's acting career. In January 2021, Zeng Zhiwei was invited by TVB Chairman Xu Taoxiang to serve as "TVB Deputy General Manager and Special Advisor to the Administrative Committee".
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="130" > two generations of "Ginseng": Qin Xianglin and Miao Qiaowei </h1>
In the early 1980s, with the rise of the Hong Kong film market, Taiwanese films declined. Many Taiwanese actors have entered the screen of Hong Kong films. This is true of Lin Qingxia and Hu Huizhong, and Qin Xianglin is also one of them.
In the early 1980s, Qin Xianglin entered the Development of the Hong Kong film market. At the invitation of Hong Jinbao, he became the face value of "Five Lucky Stars" as "Citi Ginseng".
Being good at creating "contrasting cuteness" is a major feature of Hong Jinbao's films.
In Taiwanese film works, Qin Xianglin is the male god of literary and art films in the hearts of countless young girls. But in the "Five Lucky Stars" series, he was portrayed by Hong Jinbao as a pompous and slippery playboy.
Because of the role of "Ginseng", Qin Xianglin is loved by many fans. In the early 90s, Qin Xianglin, tired of the actor's life, decided to quit the film industry.
In 1992, after cooperating with Hong Jinbao in "Five Blessings of the Stars Colliding with Ghosts", Qin Xianglin bid farewell to the big screen, and then moved abroad, fading out of the public's vision.
After Qin Xianglin's film, Miao Qiaowei was recognized by Hong Jinbao, became the second generation of "Citi ginseng", and participated in "Fortune Five Luck Stars" in 1996.
In fact, as early as 1985's "Summer Lucky Star", Miao Qiaowei participated in the filming of the "Five Lucky Stars" series as a "Brother of Citi Ginseng".
It seems that everything is predestined, and after Qin Xianglin's shadow, Miao Qiaowei has also become a new member of the "Five Lucky Stars" group.
In the early years, Miao Qiaowei, together with Andy Lau, Liang Chaowei, Huang Rihua and Tang Zhenye, was called the "Wireless Five Tigers". In the mid-to-late 1980s, Andy Lau, Liang Chaowei and others rode the tide of Hong Kong films to move forward.
But at this time, Miao Qiaowei chose to go to the sea to do business, and also created his own eyewear brand.
Because he focused his career on business, Miao Qiaowei was not particularly active in the Hong Kong film and Hong Kong drama markets in the early 90s, and was occasionally invited to appear in some film works.
In 2002, Miao Qiaowei's glasses company was acquired by "Golden Glasses", and he himself decided to return to the film industry and reopen the career path of an actor.
So in "Thunder Sweeping Drugs", "Acts", and "Sweeping Drugs 2 Heaven and Earth Showdown", we also see Miao Qiaowei's active figure.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="144" > a new generation of "five lucky stars": Andy Lau, Tan Yonglin, Chen You, Lou Nanguang, Zheng Zeshi </h1>
In 1986, Hong Jinbao found Mai Jia of the "New Art City". The two combined the "Best Partner" series and the "Five Lucky Stars" series into one, and filmed a "Best Lucky Star".
In this work, the bald detective looks for the "Five Lucky Stars" to carry out a mission, and only the "Partridge Dish" is willing to help. Due to insufficient manpower, Partridge Cai selected five capable officers from the "Police Force" to form a new generation of "Five Lucky Stars".
These five people are: "Lan Bo" played by Andy Lau, "Fat Leopard" played by Zheng Zeshi, "Dog Wang Lun" played by Tan Yonglin, "Ah You" played by Chen You, and "Fat Vita" played by Lou Nanguang.
Compared with the older generation of "Five Blessings", the appearance of the new generation of "Five Blessings" is much higher.
In the new generation of "Five Lucky Stars", Andy Lau is undoubtedly the most brilliant one in his career.
In the early 1980s, with the name of "Wireless Five Tigers", Andy Lau gained many opportunities. In the mid-1980s, Andy Lau, who left TVB, began to meet the source in the film industry and the music world. In the early 1990s, Andy Lau, who bore the name of "Heavenly King", swept the Asian performing arts industry.
Although Liu Tianwang is now a year of confusion, his acting career is still unlimited. In works such as "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and "Surging Crowds", his performance has also won the love of many audiences.
In 1986, when this "Best Lucky Star" was filmed, Tan Yonglin was at the peak of his acting career.
However, after entering the 90s, with the rise of the "Four Heavenly Kings", Tan Yonglin's career also began to decline. Although the current Principal Tan is active in many music variety shows, his career has long ceased to be the style of the past.
Lou Nanguang and Chen You are the old faces in the "Hongjiaban Zombie Movie".
In the mid-1980s, the popularity of "Mr. Zombie" ushered in a new turning point in the acting path of Lou Nanguang and Chen You. In the "Five Blessings" series, the two are often favored by Hong Jinbao and frequently appear.
In the early 90s, with the decline of "zombie films". The figures of Chen You and Lou Nanguang also disappeared into the big screen of Hong Kong films.
In 2013, in "Zombie" directed by Mai Junlong, the performance of Chen You and Lou Nanguang evoked the "zombie film memories" of many fans. After the film, Chen and Lou have also become regular customers in various "spiritual network movies".
In the new generation of "Five Lucky Stars", Zheng Zeshi's film career has been very stable for many years.
In 1985, Zheng Zeshi successfully won the "Film Emperor Laurel" because of the movie "Why Should There Be Me", and has since become famous in the film industry.
Because of his appearance, Zheng Zeshi rarely gets the opportunity to play the leading role, but in the position of supporting roles, his performance is very outstanding. Works such as "Lame Hao", "Serious Crime Team", "Huang Feihong", "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" and so on have won him the love of a group of audiences.
After 2000, Hong Kong films went into decline, and Zheng Zeshi also entered the big screen of "co-production films". Works such as the "Ip Man" series and "Chasing the Dragon" have also allowed Zheng Zeshi to accumulate a good "audience popularity" in the mainland film market.
In 1996, "Five Lucky Stars of Fortune" made Hong Jinbao's "Five Lucky Stars" series come to an end, and the film feelings of a generation also came to an end.
In 2018, it was reported that Hong Jinbao decided to restart the "Five Lucky Stars" series and shoot the movie "Lucky Star Tour Group". However, 3 years have passed, and this film is like a mud cow into the sea, and there is no news.
Fans' "five blessings" movie feelings, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue!
